A Valuable Discovery.
It is a singular fact that iri.niariy 'parts of
the South; inaccessible by railways orotlier
nodes of speedy transportation, toe usa of
ce is regarded as an epicurian _ indulgence,
which may ho dispensed with as you
dispense with a variety of articles universal,
ly classified as luxuries. Its value as a
jKiwerful remedial agent iii the treatment
of n numerous class'of diseases peculiar lo
rarm climates is seemingly unknown, .or,
f known, unappreciated.
This popular delusion will soon be cor
ected, however, by the general introduc :
ion of ice as an article of commerce and
,rhde, which is likely' to bo accomplished
without the expense of transportation from
Northern climes, and the consequent lqss
by wastage.
We have observed, in a late issue of the
‘Augusta Constitutionalist, a letter address
ed the editor, by gr.C. C. Girardoy, of New
Orleans, a gctleroan of high character,
a’liich gives an interesting account of a ma
chine recently invented tor tile manufacture
of ice, that is capable of supplying the de
mand, however grcatjiu the city%or neigh
borhood where it may bo used, at, the low
lost- of cine cent per pound. The machine
s successfully operated at several points in
Louisiana and .Texas, where the heavy cost
if imported ice forbids its use. '
.Mr. Girardey in the course of bis remarks
llnded to dost of this article in New Orleans
/hen brought from the North, ho says:—
The cost here is three cents to the cousum-
r, and the quantity-imported about 89,000
oils per annum. We.can safely estimate
lie wastage from molting to be about onc-
alf this quantity. The freight paid fropi
iostouto this pojt ranges irorit J8 to 415
•er ton—on an average not less than $10
ier ton. Out of a cargo shipped from Bos-
ui, is estimated by dealers that onc-third
S least is lost by shrinkage and loss.—
‘his will make the cost by transportation
> any Southern port equal to about ^15—
caving diit of view entirely the prices paid
t this Yankee mills.”
He states that the cost of the machine
• innufacturcd ice is $2,50 per ton, which is.
saving ofimported iceof about $11, besides
.ivirig employment to our own people as
ngincers and managers. This is certainly
• good showing that the invention wiU bo-
oine in a short time, an institution' of the
Louth.'
Mr. G. concludes his letter with the re
nark that i’fwill pay beyond any dtlier in-
i us trial enterprise now established a,s an
investment, prove a relief to communities,
nd establish the independence of a large
ortion of onr Southern people in an article
• iiieh from its general use and great ne :
.essity, has'become almost indispensable.

WHAT THE RADICALS INTEND.
The New York News says the Radicals
have evidently determined to. “step at noth
ing.” Their motto being that of all desper
ate men of all ages of the world; “to rule or
to ruin.” One of their meditated steps is
tlio impeachment of President Johnson.—
The Rump Parliament did not hesitate to
bring to trial theis Sovereign, Charles the
First. The present Congress, with far less
excuse, in fact without the shadow of a rea
son, Bavo their own insensate hate, will not
likt; the effrontery to pronounce fnTSc judg
ment upon our duly elected President." This
is one of the signs of the times. The meas
ure has already been discussed in the parti
san prints. The President’s course in tlie
New Orloans-riots, and similar acts, will
furnish for tlieir purposes accusation enough;
Congress has the power and the will like
wise ; if manipulated by unscrupulous-and
skilful leaders the measure .vpill be a suc
cess, and Mr. Johnson's office will be filled
by Sumner or some kindred Radical New
England fiinaticisnwill rush over the land
in a full tide pf bloody glory—Massachu
setts will be all in all. A Directory will be
established, equaling iu costly terror tliat of
Danton, Marat and Robespierre, and the ad
vocates of “civil rights” will have “rights"
enough, and some that are not “civil.” This
may sound like tho utterance or forboding
of an alarmist/but stranger things (ban this
have chanced, even iii dir own day. The
war.came upon us uiiawafes ; and so came
peaeefand. -so,' unless wc take liecd, may
come the impeachment of Andrcfv Johnson.
But it is not'yet too late to prevent this ca
tastrophe. Congress can be checked by the
Fall elections, and- public opinion can be
rightly directed and rendered overwhelm-"
