The Works—A Splendid Suc cess, For several day* past considerable mix* ioty has been felt on tho part of our citizen* in regard to tho illumination of of our little city with Gas. The works have been going on for some two or three mouths ami the enterprise being such an ontire novelty to a large por tion of the people, tlmt curiosity became, very much exeited, and there was an anxious state of oxpootanny exhibited by many. tSomolittlo, unforeseen and unavoidable delays had oceurrod in tho works and their completion has been I'tttni'dod a few weeks. Hut those little disappointments now only seem to mag nify the brilliant realization of the brigh test hopes of all eoncernad. Gn the night of Tuesday tho 14th in d. the city of Rome was first lighted with Gas. This fact is vory significant of the growth and prosperity of tho place, and also of tho cutcrprDo of our citizens. And the enterprise consummated on last Tuesday night will mako an epoch in tho history of Rome. Tho Romo Gas Works are ft complete success. There 1ms been no material mis take in tho estimated cost of the works, the expense of kooping them in oper ation, or the amount of gas that can bo manufactured hy "works of a given size. The light i» mild clear and almost white; vory pleasant to thfl eyes yet quite intense; it is in fact if wo right ly remember the Gas lightsin othorpln- cos, inferior to no Gas wo have seen that wa* made from coal re*tn or any other material. W. II. Magill A Co., the owners of the patent and contractors for the works, dosorve much praise for tho un tiring iiidiMlrv ami.persevering energy with which they have prosecuted this enterprise.

Description ortho Gas Work*. flunking, that perhaps some of our readers, like ourselves may ho curious to know something nf the machinery used ami the process by which illuminating Gas is made from wood, wo give the following brief statement of ft per sonal obiervntion of the Rome Gas Work*. The Gas is made from Pine wood, tho richor in resin the better. The wood ia cut about 15 inches long and split fine It is then put into an air tight iron cyl inder 18 inclios long hy 12 in diameter. This cylinder when filled with pine is put into a furnace where an intense heat is applied to it. An oscape pipe to carry the giw to tho rosorvoir is scrowed into the cylinder und all is ready. As tho pitio in the cylinder hocomes hont- od the gas, which appears to bo only smoke,is drawn olY through tlio escapo pipe to tho bottom of tho reservoir.— Tho reservoir is fillod with wator and ” in passing up through the wator the gas will not in the Empire State. And it’i a dlsgvaeo to Georgia that they liavo done so, as long a* they have. Hut wo have digressed a little in speaking of a thing that will not ho able to trouble the country much longer. * * * The course of the Know-Nothing- American party, in theeontost for Spea ker of the House, lms boon so trcnche- rousaml mean, a*will certainly render tlmt disgusting organization odious (or all time to come, and consign each inom- hor of it to oblivion, which ho so justly merits ****** Was there ever such troachery! Such mennness, such a longing after a poor, miscruhlc and disgraceful organization which must, by the course of its incm* bers stink in tho nostrils of every hon est man 1 If it does m,»t, mid if thoinis- erahle creatures who now represent it are not sent to plutoor tho devil, patri otism will have lost Its charms, and hon esty will he at a low ebb! To sny more about such disgraceful conduct is unne cessary. Every man of those knaves who now represent a shveholding eon- Btitnoiicy should bo hung in efligy , becomes clarified end loses its smoky "• a traitor to his section of tho Un- appearance, Ion!! We hopo our renders will pardon u* for admitting into our columns such op- probious language as the foregoing from the Sotuhcrr.cr <C* Advertiser, Our object is not to insult their doconey, but if )pos- siblo to induce our contemporary to cor- root an evil which has hut recontly sprung up in that paper, and . we hope has not yet taken deop root. Of course wo aro convinced that the members of the Opposition party have not in tlioir Ihisoiu* a consciousness of guilt doservingsuch condemnation* nei ther do we think tlmt respectable Dem ocrats will endorse, oroven tolerate such abuse of their neighbors und friends, merely because thoy dlsagrco with them politically. Wb regret that our contem porary is so regardless of courtesy, of tho dignity of his profession und tho re spect due the solf-ciRccm of his roa- dors. Within a fow wc«ks past such a change has boon wrought in tho tone of the ed itorial articlos in tho 'Southerner' tlmt we would lmvo supi>osed it hail passed into other nnd le»s circumspect hands, did wo not soo the samo name at its head ns editor. Wo ask our neighbor, in all kindnoss if the honor and dignity of tho press does not demand that suoh language as we have quoted should bo excluded from the columns of a public journal? By such ft course the rivalry of political opponents will be tempered with kindness and courtesy, tho respeot of the publio for tho press will bo in creased, and tho influonce of tho press over tho publio strengthened. We will most ohaorfully unite with our contem porary for the accomplishment of this very desirable ond, and add pur plight.to the maintenance of thc most courteous aiid friendly relations. The leservoii Is a circular hole in the ground 8| feet doep hy 13 foot ill diam eter, and fitted to this is a shoot iron cap called tho Gas receiver, which like a large wash-tuh inverted slides down in to it. When there is no gas in the res ervoir it is fillod with wator and the cap settlosdown until the top of It touches the water. Now when the works aro put in operation tho Gas coining in at tho bottom of the reservoir passing up through tho water gradually raises up the receiver until it is full and tho bot tom of the recoivcr'comos lo the surfaco of thowat^r. The Gas is thence car ried in iron pipos.lnid under the ground, to tho various places where it is to* ho usod. The tar is deposited in the bottom of tho rosorvoir and is pumped out through a pipo for that purpose. Tlio Gas Rocoivcr holds 1500 feet of Gas. A cord of good light-wood will make about 28000 feet of Gas, 50 bushels of charcoal and 28 gallons of tar. An ordinary gas burner will consuino fivo feet of Gas por hour and it has the UlumhHtiug power of 18 sperm can dles. The price of Gas in % this city is os- fablishod at five dollars per thousand feet. ^ Crockery and Glass Ware.—Our friend Wm. T.

An old philosopher once said that an ordinary man blown into importance by injudicious friends, was likoavory small statue placed ujmn a very high pedestal —the higher It wus elevated the more painfully proininont would its di- minutivcno.vj nppour. 31 r. Spurgeon has been cajoled and flattered so much by the press, (and we acknowledge wo lmvo been too guilty In this ros|>eet,) und by his friends, tlmt ho really begins to think that ho is the wonder of the world, It will ho soon'from a letter, which wo extract from tho Christian Watchman k Reflector, Boston, that he is going to do terrible things prottv soon ! Listen how tho conceited ami stilted sensation preacher talks to iis :—“I do from my inmost soul detest slavery anywhero anu although 4 commune at the Lord’s ta ble with men of all creeds, yet with a slaveholder I Imvo no fellowship of any sort or kind.—I would as soon think of rocoiving a murderer Into my churcli, or into any sort of friendship, as a man- stenlor.” [By the way, wo know of no “raanstcalwhi” in this country, except those who l>olong to the old Brown clique'.] “ I shall not aparo your nation in the futuro !” [“Angels and ministers of grace defend us!”] “I shall romombor tlmt 1ny volco echoes beyond the Atlantic,” &e, [Wondor if that caused tho earthquake that was recently felt in tho vicinity of Charles ton and Augusta?) "John Brown is immortal in the memories of the good in England, and in iny heart he livuf?” But it hocomos us, upon this matter, to say a few things in a plain way and a serious tone. And, first, this onslaught ii(>on Southern Christians hy the London pastor is unprovoked. The letter woa doubtless written at the special solicita tion of Northern agitators, to keep up thut unhallowed excitement that has now brought our unhappy govSrnment to the vory vorgo of ruin. It was an evil hour for Mr. Spurgeon when ho penned that lettor. The animus of the letter cannot but arrest tho attention of the reader. Tftko a single sentence: "It U far more probable tlmt- any slaveholder who should showhimself iti our uoighlMirhood would get a mark which he would carry to his grave, if it did not earry him thorc!” Is this tho spirit of a true minister of Christ ?
