The inventor of a new system of embalming, in
Italy, it is said, is soon expected in this country for
the purpose of securing a patent. The specimens
he exhibits of the perfection of his system are the
finest ever seen. He proiesses to retain, by iiis
process of embalming, all the natural colors as
perfect as in life, and this process is said to be very
simple, being an immersion for several days in
some chemical composition. It is called the “ pe-
trifaciive process,” though the substances prepar
ed by it have not the quality of stone nor are they
heavy.

DIED, *
In Caddo Parish, La’., on the 10th of November.
Col. LEANDER ARTHUR ERWIN, aged 54
years, a native of Burke Co., N. C. lie resided
many years at Athens, Ga., and at Mobile, and
more recently in New Orleans.
Another Revolutionary Soldier, Gone!
Departed this life.in the town of Covington,New
ton county, on Thursday the 20tli day of November,
FRANCIS FARRAR, in the 82d year of his age.
The deceased was a native of the county of Meck
lenburg, in the State of Virginia, where he was
born in the month of April, 1764.
At the early age of sixteen, he went in the ser
vice of his country, and was one of the few, who
have survived till this late day,to tell of those “times
that tried men's souls.” lie was in the battle at
Guilford Court House, and was one of those who
witnessed the surrender of Cornwallis, at York
Town—the closing scene of the Revolution.
When peace was established, the deceased re
moved from Virginia to Georgia, and settled in the
city of Augusta, then a small town, and ever after
ward, continued a citizen of the latter State. Ma
ny years ago he united himself with the Baptist
Church, at Freeman's creek, in Clark county, and
to the day of his death lived a consistent Christian,
as he had always been an “honest man—the noblest
work of God.”
To his friends and relations, at a distance, it will
be a source of consolation to know, that he died in
the full hope of a blissful immortality beyond the
grave. To the last he retained unimpaired, the
faculties of his mind, and met the “grim monster”
calmly and quietly, and like
“ One who wraps the drapery of his couch about him.
And then lies down to pleasant dreams.”
Among iiis last words to an aged Brother, who
during his illness, watched beside his bed, and
ministered to his dying wants, were, “ Brother, I
am not afraid to die.”
Thus departed another, of those brave spirits,
whose lives have been prolonged, to enjoy the fruits
and blessings of that freedom, won by their valor
upon the field of battle.

Liverpool Cotton market.
November 14.—There is a decided change in
the tone and temper of our Cotton market this week
but not much in prices. On Monday 7000 bales of
American were taken on speculation, chiefly, it is
conceived, on the supposition that the recent delib
erations of the Cabinet have had reference to the
Oregon question. Since that time, purchases to
greater or less extent have been made daily on
speculative account, swelling the total sales of the
week to 35.560 bales. Latterly, that is since Tues
day; the trade, whose stocks during the last two
months have undergone a considerable reduction,
have joined freely in the business going on. But,
after all, the advance in price is only to a very lim
ited extent, and is entirely confined to American
qualities; on the ordinary and middling sorts of
this kind Jd advance has been obtained.
We are looking to the next accounts from the U-
nited States (and they are hourly expected) with
much interest, and at the samo time the less pros
perous state of trade in the manufacturing districts,
the harvest and potato crop are producing their
moderating effects upon the minds of. all holders.—
12,000 American have been taken on speculation.
Report from the \bth to the 18/A Nov.—There is
no change whatever in prices in any description
of Cotton since Friday last. The daily business
is only moderate, but transactions at very firm stea
dy prices. The total sale9 since Friday amount to
about 10,000 bales. To dixy 2000 bales have been
sold.

Books of Natural History.” are admirable: and
supplva deficiency, which Has long been felt in
our Elementary Schools, not to say Colleges, in
which “ the Book of Nature fair” has been too lit
tle studied; and our children and youth, conse
quently—nay, our gmwn-up men, though (living
and moving in the midst of the most surprising
wonders, neither heed nor feel any interest in them,
because they have not the most elementary knowl
edge to serve as a first-step, to excite their atten
tion, or guide their observations. This state of
things need no longer, and we hope, will no lon
ger continue. Dr. Ruschenberger, has imposed a
new. duty upon every intelligent and faithful teach-,
