To American An ritoßs. —Gentlemen, —
| The time Inis arrived when the true inter- j
jest of Atnercau authors should be taken in
■to consideration. The best that the pnb
j fishers will do for an author of tho highest
I talent, in most cases, is to give him ten per
cent, on the trade or retail price of liis
| book, and take the rest to themselves. For
j example, a book that sells for two dollars
! will pay the author twenty per cents per
j copy at ilia end of six months after sale—
but olien not uioiu tha.> ten cents. The
| w riter ol this article therefore proposes that
i a Convention of Authors of the United
Suites, he held as soon as possible in th -
inly of New York, and that a company be
formed for the purpose of publishing and
selling all the works of American authors,
i that may he found to possess intrinsic liter-
I it. Tke publication to be decided on by a
, standing committee of authors of the first
j literary aid scientific attainments. The
j profits of this concern to be divided among
I the author* or their representatives semi
i annually according to the pr >dnciiniiofeac!i
j author's work. This is the only way at
j this advanced state of the world, that an
j thors can get their lights, hy taking to
i themselves the profits that legitimately be
| long to them, but which are now swallow
led up by the publishers. The copy right
i law will not lolly protect American authors,
| unless they form a publishing house ol
I their own, and divide all the profit accru-n.;
on the wholesale price of their works, in
! the manner above stated. The writer, an
i author, will supply five thousand dollars or
I more, on liis pari, towards the purchase of
I materials lor the office. fL- therefore pro
| p;es that a Convention of American An
thors lie held in the city of New York, on
i the 25th day ol .March next, tn lake the
I subject into consideration, We must be
i prepared, ol'rnuise, lor an opposition, from
j certain quarters, hut the public, who like
t cheap hooks, will frown it down.

A Wonderful Discovery. —A discovery
is just announced, which if true, must de
stroy all security in hank notes, or any wri
tings as evidences of debt or property. —
Bank notes can be so perefectly copied by
it with the signatures of tho officers, as not
to be distinguished from the genuine by
the most skillful eves.
‘The discovery i qnsists in a process by
which an elaborate line engraving of any
size may he so accurately copied that there
shall lie no perceptible iiiil'creiico between
the original and the opy ; by which an en
graving on steel or coper may he pr.idiicen
froui an impression of the print—the origi
nal plate never having been seen by the
copyist. Ami die copied engraving being
capable ot yielding from ten thousand to
twenty tliousm l unpressious. Theinyen
tor proposes to furnish a Bank of England
note so exactly copied that the signer shall
not be able to swear which is the original.
The most delicate touches are translerred
with perfect fidelity*, mid this after four
thousand impressions from the duplicate
plate. The process does not even infer the
necessity of injuring die prim delivered as
| a copy, whieli is returned unscathed.
‘The inventor is an Englishman, and an
engraver by ptofession. A friend of the
author oi the invention says with justice,
“there is no knowing to what extensive
changes i.i legislation it may conduce, for
and any private or w ritten document can he
forged with so much ease ami hertainty S*
to dely detection, the consequences may
be more I'palling than we care to interpret.
From the nnpn ssion of a print drawing, or
newspaper, or book, plates may he produc
ed in twenty minutes from winch impres
sinus may he produced with the facility of
a steam pres*'” ‘This invention may be
turned to frightful uses if it is wiiat is said

Taxes in England consequent upon her

ters into the mouth, or covers the back, or
is placed under the foot; taxes upon every
thing which it is pleasant to see, hear, feci,

every thing that comes from’abroad, or is

Honor among Politicians. —The city of
Rochester can boast of having at least two
honest politicians. In canvassing the votes
for Mayor last week, a number of informal
votes c-jinc before the Board of Canvassers,
which would have elected the Wlfig Can
didate if allowed. It so happened that the
Whig Candidate, Mr. Allen, was President
of the Board, in his official capacity of
Mayor, to which office he was elected last
year; and, on accepting the informal bal
lots, the board being equally divided, he
gave the casting vote for their rejection,
thus securing the election of his opponent,
Mr. Keeler, the Democratic candidate. Not
to he outdone in politeness, Mr. Keeler at
once resigned, leaving Mr. Allen to act lor
another year as provided for by, the City-
Charter under such circumstances. But
Mr. Alien would not hold over, and he too
resigned! Anew election will be held.
The Common Council passed resolutions
approving the Honorable conduct of both.
If all*politicians were like Messrs. Allen
and Keeltr, vve would have good govern
ments.—X. V. Sun.
Extraordinary Narrative. —The Har
rison (Texas) Times, contain a series ot
„rema: kable paper, uodei die following title,
viz . “The Fennde YVnri lor” ah interesting
narmive of the suffering, singular and sur
prising advuniurns of Alisa Le npora Sid
dons- who led on by patriotism, joined'the
Texan army under Gen. Houston, fought
in the ever memorable bjjttfe of San Auto
hio, where she, after seeing all her com
rades slain, was shot and left for dead.—
Recovering the followiiiiFniorning, she was
captured by the JMexicans, conveyed on
board the ship St. Juan, from which she
attempted to escape with the surgeon in a
storm, but beingsonn mi.sed from tho ship,
they were pursued fry six men in a boat,
overtaken, and after a terrible struggle, she
was recaptured, taken to Ver t Cruz, lied
behind a cart, and made to walk from there
(barefoot, over burning sand, and beneath
the tropical sun) to the city lof Mexico, a
distance of over 250 miles, where she was
tlnown into a prison, from whence she es
caped, made a voyage to sea, and returned
toiler friends in March fik*t. Full and in
teresting particular* written by herself.
’The Phenomena of the Drain. —One of
the most inconceivable dungs in the nature
of the brain is. that the organ of sensitin i
should itself bo insensible, t o cot the
brain gives no pain, \et in the brain alone
resides the power of feeling pain in auv
other part of the body. If the nerve which
leads to it from the injured part be divided,
wc become instantly unconscious of suffer
ing. It is only bv communication with
•he brain that any kind of sensation is pro
produced ; y et the organ itself is insensible.
But there is a cireumstame more wonder
ful stifi. The braui itselfimy be ram wed,
may lie cut away down to the cor/nts redo-,
sun. without destroying life. The aiiim-d
lives and perforins all those functions which,
are necessary to simple vitality, but has no
longer a mind ; it canrot think or fcsl.it
reqnres that the food should he pushed into
its stomach ; once there, it is digested, and
the nominal will even thrive and grow la'.
We infer, therefore, that the part of the
brain called the convolutions, is simqly in
tended for the cxetci*e of the intellect and
faculties, whether of.the low degree called
instinct, or ofthatexaltnd kind bestowed on
men, the gift of reason.— lligan on the

Sad Effects of Sp'tnovs Revivals. —
It is stated that the Baptist churches of
.Massachusetts and Rhode Island, which
were the theatre of the labors of the cele
brated Filler Knapp throe years since,
have, during the last year, received 574
members and excluded 703. Those min
isters who would not lull into his measures
at the time, were denounced as envious of
his rising popularity, the advocates of n
dead orthodoxy, :utd himlerors of ike work
of God. These facts show tint the church
should be very careful to distinguish be
tween genuine revivals of religion, produ
ced by the outpouring of the Spirit of God,
and those spurious excitements gotten up
bv some wandering evangelist, who, by his
novelty of manner and command over the
passion, is able tn produce a momentary
impression up'-N the people. Nothing has
a greater tendency to bring the work of the
Spirit m legeneMti ‘n into contempt, than
the spurious excitements, falsely called re
vivals of religion, which are sometimes at
tributed to it.— Protestant and Herald.

LIVES OF GEORGIA BAPTIST MINISTERS
THE Subscriber intends to publish the
Lives of the Father's of our Israel in Geor
gia, somewhat alter the plan of Taylor’s
Lives of \ a. Bap. Ministers, so soon as he
ean collect and arrange the necessary mate
rials. With reference to such a work, the
venerable and lamented Mercer, in liis
History of the Georgia Association, says:
“It would be a real advantage to the cause
[-generally: it is said of Abel, that he, being
dead, yet speaketh.” His pious example
lingers long behind him. So of Dorcas; ai
i ter her decease, the garments she had made,
during her life, probably for the poor, were
| exhibited as evidence of her ehariiv ! Anri
why may* not the lab us of love, of a good
Minister of Jesus Christ, be preserved in
memory, not only foi the satisfaction of
immediate friends, but as a memento of
the trauseendani excellency of our holy re
ligion.
The light which siich men afford.during
their slay upon earth, is certainly pleasant
and profitable at th© time, and ought not,
in our view, to be extinguished in th ‘grave;
but should be left behind to line others in
to the paths of piety and virtue.”
The subscriber is axvaretbat it is already
too late to revive the memory of some of
those veterans of the cro*s. To prevent
ttie memory of others from perishing, and
to liohl ut their godly examples to- the pre
sent generation, the writer calls upon the
friends and acquaintances of our decease'*
ministers, to communicate with hite re',
peeling them. Facts—facts are wl.t n
needed—such :*s may illustrate llie cliarar
ters and toils of those men of God.
The work may be in readiness for the
press by next Spring, if the aid now asked
for is promptly afforded. -

Whereas a repori has gotten in circula
tion througfi the instrumentality of some
designing person, (to wit.) that we as a
church, about the first of the year 1844,-
pledged omselves to brother Jarrell to sus
tain him in all cases of difficulty, right or
wrong, and more especially lor that vear,
and that this pledge was extorted from us
before lie would agree to serve the church
as her Pastor for that year—now this came
to the ear of the. church sooie time since,,
and the conference publicly denied being:
pledged in any way; but still we hear thar
ft is asserted as the truth beyond the bounds,
of this church, —It seems therefore to be *
duty we owe to ourselves, our’ Pastor and
the cause of Christ, that we make this ear
denial more public, therefore
Jiesn/vrd, Unanimously, that said ?s
port is false, and that we send a copy ol
this to our sister churches, (to wit) Paron,
Indian Springs, Macedonia, Sardis, Indian
Creek, and Kings Hill, with request that
this be read before their respective congre
gations, and that a copy besot warded to’
the Editor of the Christian Index for publi
cation. Done by crdei of Towalnga
church in conference, March Ist, 1845.
