A Criou3 Resurrection Case. Tbe Columbus Fact says: ' A curious resurrection case occurred last week at Rome, in Franklin county, Ohio. lira. Peters, wife of a German of that name, after a short illness, was supposed to have died. Her husband made immediate arrangements (or her funeral, having procured a coffin in this city. On placing her body in the coffin, a general perspiration was observed throughout tbe skin, which was reported to the husband, wilb the suggestion that the burial be deferred, in the hope of re-animation. To this the husband objaoUd, and bad her interred the same day, (Saturday.) After the burial services were over, some relatives of thtt supposed deceased, who reside ' in this city, arrived at Home to attend the funeral, which had already taken place, and hearing of the circumstances, caused the body, which then had been four hours in the grave, to bo disinterred, wher.to their surprise and joy, tbey fonnd signs of life still remaining. Restoratives being administered, Mrs. Peters gradually recovered, was taken by her friends to this city, and is now well. We are. informed that she refuses to again live with her husband. Tbe circumstun-oes connected with tbe affair are strange indeed, and should undergo investigation. The Lost Bool. The readers of Robert Hall will instantly recur to the wonderful passago in which tbe above phrase is found, in tbe sermon on the death of the Trineess Charlotte: "But what, ray brethren, if it be lawful to indulge In such a thought, what would be tho funeral obsequies of a lost soul? Whore shall we find the tears fit to be wept at suoh a spectacle? Or could we realise the calamity in all iti extent, what token of commiseration and concern would be deemed equal to the occation. Would it suffice for the sua to vail his light, and the moon her brightness; to cover tbe ocean with mourning, and the heavens with sackcloth? Or, were the whole fabric of nature to become animated and vocal, would it be possible for her to otter a groan too deep, or aery too 'piercing, toex-press the magnitude of such a catastro phy?" '". ' . . , . , OCT An agricultural society an In -Ver mont offers the following premium: "A beau. tiful silk dress to the maker ot the beat loaf of bread the competitor to be unuiarr'red ladies, and tbe committee of Judges to consist of bachelors and widowers." It is generally thought that bachelor ta search of good housekeepers' will be on hand at ttxtt agricultural fstir. : - i The Decline of Slavery. . That the slavery question has long been and still is, the loading question in American politics, few men, either North or South, will deny. Tt has ruled over all other issues,made and unmade partios, puzzled and confounded politicians, and been uppermost in the minds of tbepeoplo, for trenty years. AH other questions have their day, and disappear; are settled, nr otherwise got rid of; but this lives on. Bank, tariff, sab-treasury, war, naturalisation, land distribution, are all agreed upon, and done with as living issues; but the slavery question rotuses to be settled, respects no agreement, ignores every compromise, . and springs up with renewed vitality from the grave.in which, by the last ritos of politicians, and with benefit of clergy, it had boon solemnly interred. If we look for the cause of this permanent and vigorous life of the slavery question,con-sidcred as a disturbing force in politics, wo shall hardly discover them a!l in any source extranoous to the system itself. As a general rule, men do not agitate, permanently, for the sake of agitation; thoy do not say to each other, go to now, let us preach up or preach down slavery. They act in proportion as thoy are acted upon; and it is rare indeed,tbat any continued warfare is made upon any system, for the purpose either of abolishing it, or ar resting its growth, without the presence of inherent qualities in the system which are odious in themselves, and destructive to hu man welfare. But in the peculiar case of American slavery it is not so much the tonure as the treatment of the existing slavos that is in question. As a practical matter nearly all men recognize the futility of any attempted interference in that direction with theclaimsof our Southern brethren. It is only when those claims are pushed beyond the present privileges ol the institution, and made to embrace not only a guarantee of its safety ,but an assurance of its aggrandizement and extension, that the Nor thern mind is aroused to opposition. Slavery is bad political economy, in the national sense, as well as an injustice in the individual sense. The mass of our people are willing to tolerate it where it exists, but not to see it carried where it does not exist Still less are tney ready to saner it to enter upon a new crusade for perpetuation by the re-opening of the African slave trade. While this feeling is dominant and powerful in the Northern mind, the South gives evidence of a strong, if not general sentiment d the opposite direction. It has sought pertinaciously for many years to have its claims to colonize the territories with Rlaves conceded. By the aid of the liemocratic party, it lias opened thousands of square miles 'of free soil to its inroads. Finding the results of this repeal of all prohibitory legislation against the spread of slavery less strengthening to the system than it anticipated, it now seeks to have the voice of the poople against slavery overslaughed by Congressional authority. It demands a national code, protectingand guar anteeing slave property in the territories, in defiance of the will of a majority of the people; and a largo and influential party at the South, not content with this.declares that the safety of the system absolutely requires fresh infusion of Afriian blood, and clamors for the legalization of piracy. It is no wonder that the slavery question will not stay "settled," when so many and such irreconcilable elements are at work to complicate and disturb it. Even if the North were willing and ready to set it free, tho South would not. The South is getting indoctrinated with notions on this subject, from which their ancestors of two generations back would have shrunk with horror. Not only are the divinity and prepetuity of slavery as it exists, preached to willing ears from the pulpit and the stump, but it is set forth as an axiom that the welfare of theSouth can only be main-reined by an immense enlargement of its peculiar institution. Without this, the South must retrograde, it is said, ' It cannot remain stationary: every step which is not an advance is a retreat. Conquer us new lands, givo us more negroes.or we perish. is the cry of the South to the Government. , Will the Government do it? will Congress consent, for the sake of the spread of slavery, to slaughter popular sovereignty in the Territories, and to wipe out those just and humane laws which have made the slave trade piracy? Are we voluntarily to assume, as a nation, the attitude of piracy and enslavers? Is it likely that tbe only repub'io on the globe is about to disgrace itself by nationalivng slavery over all its free domain, and re-opening that nefarious traffic which was long ago the appro-brio m of the world? Remember, these things are to be done by the nation, if these are to be done at all. By no dodge or shuffle can the responsibility be shifted upon the South. They are national laws, which are sought to be enacted in the ono case, as well as repealed in the other. Thore are eighteen FreoStates to ftfteenSlave. In Congress, the North has an immense numerical majority. AVe do not venture to presume that there are enough northern politicians ready to sign their death-warrants, to make effective either one of those new and audacious domands of Slavery. Tbey will be refused then. Refused firmly and unmistakably nd we trust, finally what follows? ''Tbe South will dissolve the Union." We think we remember to have beard something similar before. "Tbe South will withdraw from the confederacy Where will they withdraw to? How many States will they carry off? Where are their muniments of defencetheir navy,army,ersenals? Where will they get the money to carry on a costly government? Who will catch their fugitive tiaras for then? These are "parlous" questions: and their mature and earnest consideration may preserve the South from falling into a line of pol icy which will not only take away all hope of aggrandisement for their peculiar institution, but put the institution itself in jeopardy. They are in a high critical station. Their true intorest and their impulses appear to be set in direct opposition to each other. If they persist in seeking to extend and enlarge the slave system, if tbey detormine seriously to undertake the perilous crusade, they will as suredly find out that the laws of the world are against tbem. Slavery cannot be spread in a country where three-fourths oi the laborers are free. The soonor our southern brethren abandon their claim to more rights, the better it will be for the rights they have already got. If their institution is really in a declino,they wo ald do well to remember that this is a slate of things which their lathers would have thanked God for. Its growth and expansion was what they foarod. ' The welfare of tbe republic may be jeopardized by the decline of freedom, but we ought to be wise enough to fear no evil from the decline of slavery.

A letter from Mount Lebanon, published in the London News of the 12 th inst, says : "Education in those mountains is making considerable pro;ross, owing to th e energy and activity ( the American missionaries, They have schools in noarly every district in Lebanon, and have done more lor the cause among those mountaineers, during tbe twenty years they have been in this country, than all other sects Roman Catholic, Greek, Ma-ronite, or Greek Catholic with all their wealthy convents, and possessing as they do, fully one-third of the Land on Lebanon, have done in the last three centuries." 03r Horace Mann, President of Antioch College, died at Yellow Springs on tbe 2nd inst.

Kossuth'sMovementsandhis Consolation.' Count Pulaski writes from London to tLe Tribune: . Kossuth returns in a few days from Genoa, lie has at least the satisfaction of having prevented sn ill-timed rising in Hungary, which would have ruined the country, and which, without his interference, would have broken out by the combined intrigues of Russia and France.

Gentlemen of the Convention: Allow me on this occasion, to tended to you, as well as those of my fellow citizens whom you repre sent here to dsy, my grateful acknowledgment for tbe honor yeu have thus seen proper to confer upon me. I am fully concious of the fact, that this intelligent and enterprising people, (he citizens of Knox County, were but feebly represented on my Own part, in the Legislature during tbe past tirm. But I am equally convinced, that a mag nanimous constituency, such as my worthy friend U'Creary and niysolf had the honor to represent during the two past years, stand ready like friends to forgive any error in judgment that we may have committed, while endeavoring to discharge the responsibilities that attach to those that assume the arduous duty of representing tho will, and carrying out tho wishes of a sovoreign people. And while I do not feel at liberty' to decline the honor you have thus tendered me, it is with tho deepest feoling of emliarrassment, snd a concious sense of my, inability to serve you efficiently, that I again solicit the suffrages of my fellow citizens of the county of Knox. . E in bar rasing I reply, knowing, as I well do, that there are so many Republicans in this bounty, whose talents and ability are so far superior to my own men that would not only do honor to your county, but whose voi ces would be mighty in the councils of your State, in the advocacy of thoso cardinal and Christian principles that you, my frllow Re publicans, have so nobly fought fi)r, end so triumphantly sustained principles, as deaf to the heart of every true friend of his coun try and his race, ss life itself is dear.
