ROWDYISM. " We gave an account of rowdyism in New York, on Tuesday, and wo have now to record something j like it New Orleans. In the latter placo the out rages are not so great as in the former city, where they amount to ruffianism. Sneaking of tho new Police tho Delta of the 2d inbt says : "From tho rowdyism at the theatres and on tho streets, night before last, we should think they would hare a a plenty to do in the very commencement of their term. , Decent people cannot safely walk our most public streets. Ladies on tho streets, returning from church, concerts, or theatre, are continually annoyed by tho impertinences, and vulgar and in decent eemarks, in a loud tone, of certain young broadcloth rowdies, who hang about our corners and infest all public resorts." The same paper complains that tho Police make these rowdies their boon companions, but now and then pounce upon somo poor ragged vagrant of less dangerous character. We hope our New Orleans friends will reform the abases before they assume a still more revol ting form, af in northern towns.

Two men were killed at SUj'ubenvillo, Ohio, on Saturday afternoon, by the premature discharge of a cannon, while loading far a salute in honor of tho nomination of Pierce. the stomach: my spirits, too. at times, were so do pressed from the disease, that I felt as if nothing could ever make me cheerful, again i even the sing ing of birds, and music, of which I was always so fond, tended only lo fill my soul with sadness, and render my spirits more gloomy and depressed. About two months ogo, I was so much reduced, that I could cat scarcely any food whatever, and was obliged to take my bed, in despair of ever get ling any better, and feeling that my disease was beyond the power of medicine. At this time, I read some of the certificates of remarkable cures, by the Oxygenated Bitters, and obtained a bottle of tho medicine. However surprising, It is nevertheless true, that I was almost immediately relieved of every symptom of my various complaints, nnd gain ed so rapidly, that I' was a wonder to all who knew me, of(or using four or five bottles of the mcdicino. I am now la better health than I have enjoyed for many 'years, and attribute my restoration, by the grace of God, to your Invaluable medicine.

KILLING WHALES BY ELECTRICITY. The liew Eediora raecury describes a process invented by Professors Somorsburgand Buckston, of Bremen, and brought forward at New Bedford by Mr. Helneken, an intelligent merchant of Bra men, for killing whales, at tho moment of striking them with the harpoon, by means of electricity. The object of the expedient is to produce an im mediato paralysis of the vital Dowers of the w hale at uie moment ai wnicn ne is strucK, so ns to ob yio,(o tlje danger, tho labor, and tho hazard of loss from he struggles of tho whale after he is struok. The process hj thus described by tho Mercury. "The electricity is conveyed to the body of tho whale from an electro-galvanic battery contained in the boat, by means of a metalic wire attached to tho harpoon, and so arranged as to reconduct the electric current from the whale is simple and compact in construction, enclosed in a strong chest wolghing about 850 pounds, and occupying a space in Die boat three and a half feet long by two fret in width and tho same in height. It Is capable of throwing Into the body of the whalo tremendous shocks of electricity In a second, or nine hundred and fifty shocks In a minute, para lytsjng In an Instant tho muscles of the whalo, and depriving it of all power of motion, If not actual life."
