-A new paper, wilh llie tille of the "Confederacy," hns just been established at Pittsburg, the object of which is !o assnil and oppose the AntiSlivery cause, and defcnd the slave sys tem. Thn Freemnn s.iys : "Thpy boast of influential hackers, anc contributors 'of ihe highest lilerary nttninments,' and nbundant funds lo suslain Ihem, and promise to make 'ono of the largest and handsomest papers in the Union.' They tel! us also, that 'were it poütic or prudent,' they might give the namesof 'genllemen wel! known throughotit the Union, as Statesmen nnd Patriots,' who have 'comributed t ,wards tlieir project." CTThe account of the Captures ol Mexico, given in anolher column by an actor in the enternri.se, isone of the most giaphic and interesting we have read. The Phrenological Journal lor November has come to hand. It is a good number. It containsa likeness nnd eharacter of Silaa Wnght, and otlier interesting articlcs. A Washington le!ter writer snys : Last Satufday afternoon a concourse of several hundred persons wero gnthered oppoxite the P resic'ent's nenr tl. e outlet of the canal into the Potomac, lo witness Mr. Urah Brown's grand experiment wilh his Greek fire. It rnny be recollected that Congress granted him an nppropri-ation of élO.000 for this purpose. - A fue p roof seo w wilh the engine in il forthrowing ofifihe fire, was towed nenr n tnll mast strung wilh empty tar barrels, and plantfcd on a smull Island in this part of the canal. When alout fifty leol frem the mat) a stream oftlie liquid fire was thrown Uon it, in the shape of n huge cuiling plume, and anon like mudJy waier, until when within a yard or so oí the mast, it would burst out into an immense retolvifig ball of flnme. The barrels were insianily in fiames nnd in tibout ten minutes ihe upper half of the mast bent and feil, burnl uff by the novel war agent. The experiment was apparently successfulj convincing tke beholdersthat the Ynnkee naíion can benl "all natur," and Johnny Buil to bool, whether on sea or land. TIIamlin, of the Cleavel.ind Trüe Democrat, an antislavery VVhig, was present at the Buffalo Conventioii. He says of it : "There vere sorne things in the Conven tion that grraily plcaied us. There were less viluiirration nnd denunciaiion of the members of other porties, than we evbefore witnes--ed in n Liberty Convëntion. The resolutions too were correct in prino-iple, and dignified in thcir lone. This is to be attributed in a great degree, we suppase, lo their being drawn up by as able a lawyer ns Mr. Chase of Ciiicinnöti. On the whole, the spirit ofthe Cunvention was such as to promise good to the cause of Freedom. There was not much dilTiculty with respect to the John P. líale wns selected nn tle fisi ballot by n g rent rnajority. This selection was undoibtedly the berst tfiat cnuld be rhide. He is a devoted, zealous nd of Freeiiom. He has been tried, and in everv trial has corne forth more pure nnd perfect thnn before. We have seen bim in these trials, nnd have witnessed his noble bearing. And no ennsiderations of party shall ever lead us to rietmet an iota from his merits,"
