Freezing water in red-hot Iron Vessels.
As extraordinary os this may seem, it has actually
been done. At a late sitting of the British Associ
ation for the advancement of science, at Cambridge,
England, Professor Boutigny made some experi
ments showing the effect of bringing water in con
tact with red-hot iron ; in the course of which he ac
tually produced ice in a vessel at a glowing red heat
In tho first place, the Professor proceeded to show
that a drop of water projected upon a red-hot plate
docs not touch it; but that a rcpulsivo action is ex
erted between the plate and fluid, which keeps the
latter in a state of rapid vibration. At a white heat
this repulsion acts with tho greatest energy, whilst
it coases, and tho ordinary process of evaporation
takes place at a browu-red heat. Tkc temperature

We were surprised by tho wanton attack which
was made by tlio “ Courier” of last week, upon the
interests of Albany and the wholo of South-western
Georgia, in an article under the head of “ Our Riv-
, , „„ , .... . er.” The article seems to havo been intended to
to be only 96 deg., and this temperature is maintai
ned so long as the heat is kept up. To bring this
water to tlio boiling point, (to 212 deg.) it is there
fore necessary to cool the plate. These phenomena
■tre explained by M. Boutigny on the supposition
that the Sphere of water has a perfect reflecting sur
face, and consequently that the heat of the incandes
cent plate is reflected back upon it; and some ex
periments have been made which show that this is
induce.thc coming Legislature to appropriate money
to clear tire obstructions from the Flint Riv,er. If
wc are right in this supposition, tlie object was a
good one, though the arguments used was most un
fortunate, and if permitted to pass without notice,

Arteriaa Well*.
Wc call tho attention of tho citizens of Albany to
tlie communication of “ Werner,”, which wc publish
in another Column. Wc know of no subject which
could more properly engage the attention of our City
Council than that of furnishing an abundant supply
of pure free-stone water, which we hare no doubt
can be accomplished by tho Artesian Well. • These
wells, wc understand, arc usually bored with on
auger constructed for the purpose, about six inches
in diameter—a tube of iron or other metal to pre
vent the closing of the earth, and to shut off impure
streams of water which it may pass. They may be
sunk to tlie depth of several hundred feet, if neces
sary, at a cost of about one dollar per foot Inalmost
all cases pure water may be found, which will flow
up to the surface, and frequently ft is thrown out
with great force. Oar correspondent has not cx-
age rated our local advantages for health. There is
no place in Georgia which has been more exempt
from mortality and tho ills which flesh is heir to,
than Albany. There are but few places in which
can be found better society, better schools, better
preaching and practice, more sources of rational
enjoyment, or better fellows, than in Albany. Let

Boruion Difficulties.
A fierce civil war is raging between tlie Mormons
and anti-Mormons in the counties of Hancock and
Adams, Illinois. Tho parties are arrayed against
each other in organized companies—blood has been
shed, and a number of Mormon houses have been
burned. Up to tlio last accounts tho excitement
wo* increasing. Tlie anti-Mormons declare thoir
determination to drive tlio Mormons from their
conntics, on accoant of their lawless depredations,
and thc Mormons seem equally determined to de
fend themselves.
Still Lxter.—An extra from the Illinois State
Register, dated Sunday, Sept. 21st, states that tlie
rout of the anti-Mormons by Sheriff Backcnstos and
his posse was complete; and that tlie rencontre of
the 17th, described in the Sheriff's proclamation
published by us, struck such terror to the hearts of
tlie mob supporters in all the surrounding country,
that the people all fled from Carthage, Augusta, and
other auti-Monnon towns, and carried their familes
into the counties of Adams, Marquette, Schuyler,
and McDonough, and were beating up for volunteers
in those counties, to recruit their forces, with which
to renew tho war. It was believed that having so
disgraced themselves by the incendiary modo in
which they carried on the war, their success would
not bo very great
Before this news reached Springfield, Gov. Ford
hod issued a coll for five hundred men to quell the
disturbances.
No tetters have been received at Springfield from
any of thc Mormon party since thc commencement
of tho troubles, except one from a very obscure man
in Nauvoo, and another from McDonough county,
and no newspaper*. It was rumored that tbe mails
were stopped, and there woa a story afloat that ono
mail carrier lias been murdered. No metsengor bad

ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.
FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The llriiish mail steamer Cambria. Cupt.
C. 11. E. Judkins, left Liverpool Sepi, 19,
and arrived here at half past 5 last even
ing, Oct. 2, in u passage of thirteen days.
Thc atmosphere wasso clear that the steam

45 miles out. She brought 23 passengers
from Liveqiool to Halifax, 72 from Liver
pool to Hoston, and 11 from Halifax to
lloston, in all 1U6.
By this arrival we have received Liver
pool papers of the day of sailing and Lon
don up to the evening previous. Our thanks
are due to Messrs Adams and Co. and
Harnden & Co. for papers. Also to Mr.
J. T. Smith, of the Merchant’s Exchange

Messrs. Editors The want of a good snpply
of cold and wholesome water, is a great inconven
ience to tlio city of Albany, as well as to traiuint
persons who visit it, and one which mast, to a con
siderable degree, retard her progress in tbo rotdi,
prosperity. Tbe health of the locality, may non k
considered as pretty feirly tested,, and nothin;
wanting, to retain your own citizens through fe
summer, and to attract other*, but a snpply of god
water. The want of it is felt tbe more senriblr,
because Ico is oat of your reach except at an etot-
mous cost Habit lias, doubtless, done such to
wards reconciling tho older citizens, to tbe mis
and often muddy wator of the Flirt, the strong
limestone of thc common wells, and the in*fy*l
water of cisterns, polluted with soot and other im
parities ; and all resign themselves the morecheK-
fully to tho evil, from an opinion that it is incur
diable. There is, however, in my opinion, tn ca=J
and efficacious remedy for it in an Artesian 4)?--
No other city in the State, is so favorably started
for, such a fountain. Any attempt to sink such t
well at Augusta, Macon, or Columbus, would eri
in failure on account of tbo under-lying granite id
its associate rocks. Here the caao is quite difleiwrti
as the rock to be perforated, lies in a continuou
stratum, with m moderate dip, is easily bared and K
withal, the same formation that has been so suc
cessfully pierced, for that purpose, in Alabama id
Mississippi. The expense of. such a work, if bene
by tbe city as it should bo, would fell lightly if*
ouch individual, and would bear no eomparrisoo U
the advantages that it would bring. Tho property
saved from your first fire, would reimburse, tan}
times, the cost of it It would tend, loo, more th*
•ny thing else, to give the city a permanent rei*i*g
place, otherwise it may travel over half the'diatiieti
continually unsettling the value of property.
So abundant is the water thrown up by nosy «
these wells, that it has, in numerous iostaqoc*, he®
applied to the propulsion of various Uadi of •*
chinery. At Frontea in France, the waters of
