For sev ers I years past wo have been able to sell all the fine Friction Roller Gins at 33 per saw, which we cm Id make, without the aid ot a travelling agent. B a have made the gins, and the gins, or rather the cof ton ginned by them have sold others as fust as we coula make them. We have not been content in be ing able to sell, but it has been our aim to continue to improve. Each year the demand has increased, and as our fine gins have been used, we think we can af firm the planter has realized increased profits, ii has been truly said that the finest article of cotton ever offered in the Savannah market has been raised Hancock county. The crops of several individ uals have been esteemed of this clmracter. Some have had offers for their entire crop, to be grown, al the highest prices, and in • very instance our gins have been used to produce this Gue article. VS hen cotton is low | cent, per lb. in once tells in a moderate crop. We think wo can safely affirm that in every instances where planters have managed their crops neatly and ginned on oar gins, they have received the very highest market value—in many instances j cent, over tbe highest market price. Il has been said by some persona, interested in essening the charaoter of our gins, that they do nut stand as high in Hancock county as they have doue. We should think this a great mistake, from the fael of an increased demand in theoounty. We know many opposed buying at first on account of the price, but we are assured from the increased sale and from gratuitous commendations of our gins, that the far mere are beginning to view ii good economy tobuy o us. We are also seldom able to sell a common gin, which we make as low as other gin-makers. Oui last year’s gins have given even greater satisfoctiot than any we have ever made before. We willdelivei ;opurchasers, at 33 per saw, our fine Friction-Rullei Gins ; or common kind from 32 to 32.50, as in qua : ity. All communications will be immediately an swered. G. T. OGLEBY A BROTHER.

Whether in penning a stanza or pointing a political paragraph, the accom plished editor of the Louisville Journal has but few rivals in this country. THE GIFT OF A ROSE. I send thee, Mary, a sweet young rose. That bright with the hues of the sunset glows ; Its beauty, alas! is frail and brief, It will come to thee with a withered loaf, But the fervent kiss that my earnest lips Have left for thee on its crimson tips Will not from the fading flower depart, But come all fresh to thy lip and heart; For oh, ’lis a breath of the love and trust, That will live when our lips and our hearts are dust. : Mary, dear Mary, pray love this flower, Let it have f>r thy heart a spell of power; Fur I plucked it fresh from its lovely stalk, On the blooming edge of that garden walk Where we strayed together so deeply blest When the sun was low in the golden west, And murmured our loves in burning words, Wi. h none to hear but the flowers and birds, And lingered long on the dear sweet spot, [not. While our warm hearts kissed, though ourl'psdid Mary, dear Mary, my thoughts still cleave To each memory sweet of that blessed eve, To each tone more dear than the sweetest lute, To each vow we breathed when our lips were mute, To the wild, deep thrill through each trembling frame, From fingers warmed with a pulse of flame, To each gentle tear, to each gentle sob, To each sigh that told of the heart’s deep throb : :<* m •> ■ 1 iftoth. iny «.ns now rtrav t Tfo tlwy SrMk At morn as lfo »ky’« »3fr bias Tliroajr. tCetifomnllnyfirera of th* When i come to thee will they smile to greet Thy lover’s stepe with their perfume sweet 7 Will they list at eve to our tender vows? Will they weave their wreaths for our gentle brows? And when at last we are doomed to part, Will they breathe a sigh for each breaking heart? Mary, dear Mary, I fain would know, Do thy heart’s sweet flowers keep their fresh young glow? Are their eyes yet turned on the skies above? Do they glitter still with the dews of love? Has no blighting frost, has no bitter blast, Cold, cold o’er their buds and their blossoms past? If my name is said, are tbeir leaves yet stirred To the olden thrill at the cherished word ? And say, oh say, will those dear heart flowers Still bloom for me in the Eden bowers? a. ». p. [From the Knickerbocker Magazine.] BONG—THE OLD FARMERS ELEGY. On a green, grassy knoll, by tbe banka of the brook That so long and eo often had watered hie fleck, The old farmer rests in hfr long and laet sleep, While the weteiaa low lisping lullaby He ban plowed his last furrow, has reaped his last grain, No morn shall awake him to labor again. , The blue bird aings sweet on the gay maple bough Its warbling oft cheered him while holding the plough ; And the roobins above him hop light on tbe mould, For he fed them with crumbs when the season waa cold. You tree that with fragrance ia filling the air, 3o rich wi’b its blossoms and fair, By his own band was planted, and welt did he say, It would live when its planter had mouldered away. ; There’s the well that he dug with its waters so cold, With i*s wet dripping bucket se mossy and old ; No more from its depth by the patriarch drawn. For ihe pitcher ie broken —the old man is gone. And the seat where he sat by the old cotfege door. In'ihe still summer’s eve, when,bis labors were o’er, With his eye on the moon, and his pipe in his hand Dispensing his truths like a sage of the land. ’Twai a gloom giving day when the old farmer died; The stout hearted motirnedphe affectionate cried ; And tbe prayers of the just tor his rest did ascend. For they all lost a Brother, a Man and a Friend. For upright and honest the old Parmer was ; His God t e revered, he respected the laws ; Tbough-fomelesa he lived, he has gene where hie worth Will outshine, like pure gold, ail tbe dross of this earth. He has ploughed his last furrow, has reaped hie last grain, No morn shall awake him to labor again. LAY OF THE FAMINE. TUB IRISH HUSBAND TO HIS WIFB.

Amongthe valuable contributions to science made at the late meeting of the Scientific As socintion at New Haven, was a lecture by E. Geo Sqnier, Charge to Nicaragua, upon the volcanic phenomenon of Central America, and the geographical and topographical fea tures of Nicaragua. The following extracts will doubtless be read with interest: “ The volcanoes of Central America are all situated on the Pacific coast; the eastern slope of the Continent consisting of broken mountain ranges, which exhibit few traces of volcanic action. In fact they occur almost in a right line, running due N. W and 8. E com mencing with the high volcano of Costago, in Costa Rica, (14,000 feet high) from (he sum mit of which both oceans are visible, to Citial tepett. in the department of Vera Cruz, in ' Mexico There are several hundred volcanic I peaks and extinct craters on this line. “On the 11th and 12;b days of April last, rumbling sounds, resembling thunder, were heard in the city of Leon, situated in the cen tre of the great plain. They seemed to pro ceed from the direction of the volcanoes and were supposed to come from the great volcano of Momotoinbo, whi r h ofien emits noises, ar d shows other symptoms of activity, bes'de send ing out smoke. This volcano, however, on this occasion exhibited no unusual indications. The sounds increased in loudness and fre quency on the night of the 12th, and occa sional tremors of the earth were felt as far as Leon which near the mountains were quite tbo mnrttfa? of Shl'May: «n» orifteo at the time of the oa&um were ve,y severe in the vreiihty, resembling, from accounts of the natives, a senes of concussions. The precise point where the opening was made might be said to be in the plain; it was, however some what elevated by the lava which had ages be fore flowed down from the volcano, and it was through this bed of lava that the eruption took place. No people reride within some miles of the spot, conseque: ty I am not well informed concerning the earlier phenomena exhibited by the new volcano, it seems, however, that the outburst was attended by much flame, and that at first quantities of mel.ed matter were ejected irregularly in every direction. Indeed, this was clearly the case, as was shown upon my visit to the spot some days thereafter. F'or a wide distance around were scattered large flakes resembling freshly cast iron This re gular discharge continued only for a few hours, and was followed by a current of lava, which flowed down the slope of the land to ward the West in lh« form of a high ridge, ising above the tops of the trees and bearing down everything which opposed its progress. While this flow continued, which it did for the remainder of the day, the earth was quiet, ex cepting only a very slight tremor, which was not fell beyond a few miles. Upon the 14th, however, the lava stopped flowing, and an en tirely new action followed. A series of erup (ions commenced, each lasting about three minutes, succeeded by a pause of equal du ration. Each eruption was accompanied by concussions of the ear h, too slight, however, to be felt at Leon, attended also by an outburst of flame a hundred feet or more in height; showers of red hot stones were also ejected with each eruption to the height of several hundred feet. Most of these fell back in the mouth or crater, the rest falling outward and gradually building up a cone around it. B/ the attraction of this process the stones became more or less rounded, thus exolaming a pecu liarity in the volcanic stones already alluded to. These explosions continued uninterruptedly for seven days, and could be accurately observ ed from Leon iu the night. “ Upon the morning of the 22d, accompa nied by Dr. J. W. Livingston, U. S. Consul for Leon, I set out to visit the spot. No one had ventured near it but we had no difficulty in persuading some vaqueros from the village of Arola to act as guides. We rode with difficulty over beds of lava, until within about a mile and a half of the place, proceeding thence on foot. In order to obtain a full view of the youthful volcano, we ascended a high necked ridge of scoriae, entirely overlooking it. From this point it presented the appear ance of an immense kettle upturned with a hole knocked in the bottom, forming the crit ter. From this side, upon one side ran off the lava stream, yet fervent with heat, and send ing off its tremendous radiations. The erup tions had ceased that morning, but a volume of smoke was still emitted, which the strong north-east wind swept down in a trailing cur rent along the tree tops. •* The cone was patched over with yellow, the crystalized sulphur from the hot vapor passing up among the loose stones. The trees all around were stripped of their limbs, leaves and bark, resembling so many giant skeletons. Tempted by the quietude of *nd anxious to inspect it more closely, in spite of he entreaties of our guides, we descended from our position, and going to the windward, scrambled over the intervening lava beds through patches of thorny cactuses and agaves towards the cone. On all sides we found the flakes of melted matter which had been thrown out on the first day of the erup tion, and which had moulded themselves over whatever they fell upon. We bad no difficul ty in reaching the base of the cone, the wind driving off the smoke and vapors to the leeward. It was perhaps a hundred and forty ©r two hundred feet high, by two hundred yards in diameter at the base, and of great regularity of outline. It was made up entire ly of stones, more or less rounded and of every size from one pound up to five hundred. No sound was heard when we reached it except a low rummbling noise, accompanied by a very slight tremulous motion. Anxious to examine it more closely, and to test the truth of the popular assertion that any marked disturbance near the volcanic rents is sure to bring on an eruption, we prepared to asscend. Fearing we might find the stones too much heated near the summit, 1 prepared myself with two staffs, as supports, to save my hands. The Dr. dis dained such appliances, and started without them. The ascent was very laborious, the stone rolling away beneath our feet and rat tling down the sides. We. however, succeed ed in almost reaching the summit when Dr Livingston, who was a little in advance, sud denly recoiled with an exclamation of pain, having all at onre reached a layer of stones so hot as to blister his hands at the first toucn. We paused for a moment, and I was looking to my footing, when I was startled by an excla mation of terror from my companion, who gave simultaneously an almost superhuman leap down the side. At the same instant a strange roar almost deafened me ; there seemed to be a whirl of the atmosphere, and a sinking of the mass upon which I was standing. Quick as thought I glanced upward ; the heav ens were black with stones, and a thousand ligmiugs flashed among them. All this was in an instant, and with the quickness of thought I too was dashing down the side, reaching the bottom at the same instout with my compan ion. and just in time to escape the stones, which fell in rattling torrents wlier* we had stood a moment before. 1 need not say, that iu spite of spring cactuses and rugged beds of lava, we were not long in putting a respecta ble and safe distance between us and the fla ming object of our curiosity. The eruption lasted for nearly an hour, interspersed with lulls, like long breathings The noise was that of innumerable blast furnaces in full operation, and the air was filled with projected and falling ■tones. The aubsidence was almost as sudden as the outburst, and we waited several hours iu vain for another eruption. Our guide assured us that another attempt to ascend, or any marked disturbance on the slope or in the vicinity, would be followed by an eruption, but we did not care to try the ex periment.” From th. Tempera neo Star. Physiology of Digestion. BY A. C. DAYTON, ». D., VICKSBCRS. What do we eat for 1 Most persons eat to satisfy the cravings of hunger, or to gratify the sense of taste. This is sll right. But whydo we hunger, and for what purpose did God give us the sense of taste ? The answer to these questions leads us one step farther into the mysteries of our physical being. All living things are nourished from sources extraneous tu themselves. The tree imbibes its sustenance from the earth by iis roots, or from the air by its leaves. It is stationary, and its food is always present to it. But animals are nut thus tiled. They move from place to place, and get their food where they can find it. It was needful therefore, for them to have an instinct to impel them to obtain it, and a receptacle in which to receive and store it. The painful sense of hunger, and the pleasura ble sense of taste, are the workings of this in stinct, and the stomach is the storehouse, and in some respects Ihe manufactory of the nutriment which furnishes die animal with the means to supply iu waste, and increase iu growth. Let us spend a moment in the exami nation of the facts connec’ed with this process of digestion. The apparatus provided for it in the human subject, is various and complica ted. The hands are used to sieziog tbe food and conveying it to the mouth. The teeth perform an essential and most important part in grinding and mixing it with the salira. When properly ground and softened, it is swallowed, and passes dowu through a tube which lies behind the windpipe, to the stom ach, where it is destined to undergo some very important changes. I be stomach is a membranous bag. which is large enough, when stretched, to hold two or three pints, (in some persons much more ) Iu walls consist of three layers or eoau. Ths outer one »strong and tense, and gives it shape; the middle one is muscular, and gives itmotien; the inner is celled the nervous or the maeotu eoat, aad contains the peculiar apparatus of digestion. It ia composed of in numerable little sacks with open months, called folikles. which separate from the blood that passes through their vessels, a peculiar fluid called the gastrict juic, or the juice of the stomach. This is remarkable for i’s pow er of dissolving such substances as are used for food. It is probably formed in part during thu intervals ot eating, and lies hid in the little sacks! spoke of, which small that they - cannot be seen without a microscope, and eo numerous that they cannot becounted. When the food is swallo wed anti comes iu contact I with them, they discharge .their contents, and it is absorbed by the food which is rapidly dis solved by it- When thus dissolved, it is called r chyme, and passes out of the stomach by a , different door from that by which it entered. It goes into the intestinal tube, (which in the ’ human subject is very much like that of a hog, which most of your readers have seen,) and as I 1 it passes along through this tube it is exposed ; to the action of a million of little white vessels, i called lacteals, which take from it the puerer and finer parts,which are fit for the nourishment of the system, and carry them Into a vesser prepared for their reception, called the thoracic duct. This chyme refined and purified, is now called chyle. Itisfomtfwhat like milk in appearance. The vessel containing it con ; ducts it to the great veins which are bringing back the blood to the hcart.and it goes with the blood to the right chamber of the heart. The next beat of tbe heart churns it up with the . blood and sends it to the lungs, where it is further purified, and then sent back to the left chamber of the heart, making a part of the arterial blood which is sent out through the arteries to every psrt, and taken up by the cap illary vessels, (which I described in my article on the circulation.) and appropriated to the nourishment of the system. Let me mention again, an important func tion of these capillaries. The particles which compose t‘ e system become in time worn out, useless and even poisonous, if retained. They must be removed a;i«i their place sup plied by new matter. Tifey are converted into carbonic acid and changed, and are taken away, and the n nun bnudiß? and g n*w ones in enwpiete repair. This is really what we eat for—to give these little laborers the materials for their work. The stomach is the great laboratory or work shop where these materials are prepared. In their intestines they are assorted and the good ■elected. In the lungs they are aired and purified, and the arteries are the hod carriers which convey them to the places where they are needed. In my next, 1 will show how we can de range this beautiful process, and inflict upon ourselves all the horrors of dyspepsia or indi gestion. The aiatof October. •‘The Daily Dispatch” is the title of a very handsome and spicy little “penny paper” which has recently made its debut in Rich mond, Va , under the auspice* of Wm. H. Da vis &Co. The appearance of this racy little caterer for public favor is decidedly taking, and as a test of its quality, we subjoin the fol lowing leader of the secund number issued on the 21st of October. This Day —-Our little Dispatch popped its nose into the world upon a day, not only glorious io itself, but surrounded by a constellation of glorious days. On the 14th of October. 1806 was fought the battles of Je na and Auerstodt, which for the lime beiog,an nihilated 'he Prussian monarchy. On the 17th of October. 1777, the forces of Burgoyne sur rendered to the American army at Saratoga. On the 17th, 18th, and 19th was fuught the battle of Leipsic. (1813.) between the allied power* and the Emperor Napoleon. This was the most tremendous conflict that ever oc curred in Europe, since the famous battle ot Chalons, which was fuught between Attila, King of the Huns, and the Roman Consul 2E tius, in the reign of the Emperor Theodosius, when three hundred thousand men are said to have fal’en on both sides. Not less thin five hundred thousand men were engaged in the battle of Leipsic, and according t » Napoleon, not less than 200.000 were left dead or wounded on ihe field. /According to the same authority, “it was the death knell of the Em pire—the tomb of her gigantic power.” Yes terday, 2Cth October, was rendered famous by the battle of Navarino, fought in 1827. This day, forty-five years ago, ’.he combined fleets of France and Spain, which had long been threatening England with invasion, were totally defeated off Cape Trafalgar, by Lord Nelson,who was killed in the action Tb : s was the most magnificent sea-fight that ever oc curred. Sixty ships of the line (among which was one of 140 guns, while several others car rind 120, 110, 100 and 90,) with ten frigates of the largest class, manned by fifty thousand seamen, were for five hours engaged in a des perate condition, yard arm to yard arm, the opposing vessel being, in many instances, so • lose that the rammers touched each other's ► ides in the act of loading. Tbe day was one of the most beautiful that ever shone. There wa< a very gentle breeze stirring, and a long ground swell, setting into the bay of Cadiz, imparted to th? vessels, m thev geyd , lio a, ri&iufc u.>: if »;•>- -* «f racfful hi ' l,> l >e ’ T “ e Allies were formed in a short distance in the itar ofthe oti.’&F; ;he ships in the rear being destined to rake the enemy as they broke through the front flHk of vessels. The two lines comprised thirty-three line of battle ships, and seven frigales. The English with twenty-seven line of bat’te ships, and three frigates, bore down upon the allied squad ron in two lines, Collingwood leading the one and Nelson the other. The object was to break the enemy’s line in two places at once, and thus either destoy him in detail, or, by drawing the vesselscut off to the assistance of those directly assailed, compel a close fight. A beautiful “October sun” shone full upon the sails of the enemy, presenting in its most attractive form the vast prize of which Nelson felt sure he should obtain possession. It was to him, doubtless, a moment us the most intense exultation, yet ne seems to have felt assured that he wou’d not survive the battle. He made the signal for the fleet to crowd all sail, and setting the example h’rnself led hi« line in the Victory, and carried her into action whilo some of the s ower sailing ships were yet several miles in the rear. When all arrange ments had been made, and before the firing had commenced, he asked Captain Hardy if he thought all had been done as it ought to be. When that officer replied in the affirmative, he said, • I will amuse the fleet with a signal,” and immediately made that one which has grown into a proverb : '"England expects every man to do his duty.” The shout which ran from ship to ship, until it had pervaded the whole fleet, was sublime bey ond description The result of the batde is well known. The al lied fleets were annihilated ; 19 ships of the line were taken, and the rest escaped in such a shattered condition, that seven of them a few weeks after, fell an easy prey 10 a Bri.ish squadron, commanded by Admiral btrachan. Napoleon’s visions of ships and colonies melt ed into air. and his marine received a blow from which it could never recover. The in vasion of England became an impossibility, and John Bull believed the ocean as much his own peculiar territory, as the fast anchored iele, until the Yankees dispelled the agreeable illusion. Forty five years have elapsed since that great day. The old ‘ Victory” lies moored in the harbor of Portsmouth, just as she was when Nelson breathed his fret on board of her. The spot where he fell is marked by a star; the cabin in which he died is exhibited to the curious stranger —and on the return of this day,a salute is annually fired from her batter ies. Unchanged herself, she exists in the midst of change. A fleet more formidable than any ever dreamed of by Nelson—which have realized! in part, Napoleon’s dream of introdu cing a system of naval tactics not dependent upon thewinda and waves—whose batteries would have blown them and all tbe “spoils of Trafalgar” into the air, or sent them to “Davy Jones’ locker” in the reefing of a topsail—has grown up around her. Could Nelson arise from the dead, ihe sight would overwhelm him with astonishment. Hark yi, Girls !—lt is high time that some body told you a little plain truth.

Dehaven commanding the Ex pedition in search of Sir John Franklin. United States Brig Advance- Off Port Leopold, August 22 l p so. S.r ; I have the honor to acquaint you with the proceedings of the squadron order my command since leaving the Whale Fibh Islands whence my last despatch waa dated. We sailed ou the 291 h of June, but, owing to cairns and very light winds, we did not reach the latitude of Uppernavick till the 6th of July. Up to this place no obstruction from ice was met with. We found a clear passage of from ten to twenty miles in width, between the land and the “pack.” The la', ter was sighted daily, and had the appearance of being impenetra ble. To the northward of Uppernavick many streams of floe ice were found extending from the main pack close into the land. Through these with a fair wind, we found little difficul ty in forcing our way, until we approached Baffin’s Islands in the latitude of 74°. Here the ice appeared so close and continuous along the land that our progress in that direc tion wis arrested At the same time a clear and wide opening presented itself leading to the west. We had a fair wind to enter it, and it was so directly in our course for Lancaster Sound that I could not resist the temptation ; particularly as the passage looked to be almost S by the usual northern fpu' ■ . < jrs our hopes tfut flitwr .» »uti u. forty miles, iftw was made I and On both sides iu a coatinuons line. “We bad but estered a deep bight in the main pack. To return to the eastward whence we came would, perhaps, have cost us days, with the uncertainty of being able to get along even then. Besides, of thn only three authentic ac counts of attempts to make the passage through the pack in about this latitude, two were emi nently successful. The third did not succeed so well. In view of these facts, I thought it advisable to enter the pack and endeavor to push through it, in a direct line for tbe theatre of our research- es. We accordingly did so. and for several days succeeded in making some headway, until at last the ice became so tight and immovable that it became impossible either to advance or re treat In this hopeless condition we remained until the 29th of July, when, by a sudden movement of the floes, an opening presented itself to t' e north. A southeast wind spring ing up at the same time, we availed ourselves of it, and, with a press of sail, succeeded in forcing our way into clear water. On the following day we were brought up again by the ice, having made a run of more than sixty miles. The wind by this time had freshened to a gale, which, together with a thick fog, made our position not a little em barrassing. The vessels were placed in as secure a position as could be found; notwith standing which they were in imminent danger from the heavy masses of ice driven before ihe gale, which pressed upon them. They with stood the shock, though, bravely. The dan ger was over on the gale abating We were now in latitude 75° longitude 60 deg., in the usual Melville Bay route. It did not appear much more favorable Ilian the mid die one, from wbence we had just escaped. However, by keeping along the edge of the land ice,, (which had no appearance of having moved this season, and extended full thirty miles from the shore.)wa w ere enabled to avail ourselves of occasional narrow openings which appeared with the changes ofihe wind; eo that, with the aid of warps, during calm wealh er, we succeeded in reaching Cape Yorke ou ihe 15th instant. Between Cape Yorke and Cape Diggs we had open water, but were delayed by calms We took advantage of the delay, and hauled the vessels into the shore, at the Crimson Cliffs of Beverly,” where we filled up onr casks from a mountain stream. These cliffs are so named from the red snow on them, spe cimens of which were obtained. A few miles to the east ofCape Yorke two Esquimaux were met with. Toe only thing wo could understand them to say was, that more of their people were living not far dis tant. On the 18th we got a fair wind, and, passing Cape Dudley Diggs, shaped our course for the western side of Badin’s Bay. The “ pack ” was soon met with, but it was in streams and very loose, so that little obstruction was found from it. On the morning of the'l9th we clear ed it entirely, and a decided swell of the sea indicated that we had reach d the “ north wa ters.” The same day we fell in with the squadron of two vessels under Capt fenny. They had be-m unsuccessful in th»ir. sfforG to VTaos’S Sound, 'r iicy wereuow bound iu the same direction as ourselves Oa the evening of the 19th we entered the Sound, but a violent gale came on from the eastward, accompanied with a thick fog and a heavy sea, which compelled us to heave to.— During tho gale we parted company from the Rescue. The following day tho wind moderated, but the weather still continued thick and foggy.— We spent tho most of it in searching for our consort, without success, when, loth to lose so good a wind, we bore up for the westward On the morning of ‘he 21st the fog cleared off, and we found ourselves off Cape Craw ford. on the southern side of the Sound. At the same time a sail waa seen, which I hoped might be the Rescue, but it proved to be the schooner Felix, Capt Sir John Ross. From hirr we learned that Commodore Aus tin was at Pond's Bay with 'wo of his vessels seeking for information, whilst the other two bad been despatched to examine tho north shore of the Sound. We also learned that the North Star might be looked for at Port Leo pold. At that place I resolved to touch, (as well to gain information as to send despatches home) previous to repairing to Wellington Straits, the appointed place of rendezvous with our consort. I am happy to inform you that the officers and men of both vessels are perhaps in better health than they were on leaving New York, and they are now possessed with a spirit which 1 think argues well for the ruccess of our en terprise Very respectfully, &c., Epwis J.

Were their abilities equal to their sympathy, they would chase the cloud of sorrow from the brow of sadness. For others’ woes they will shed e pitying tear, such tears perhaps, as an gels love to shed, as they draw for awhile their golden harps, and turn their radiant eyes oa this polluted scene. When the dark veil of adversity hangs low over our pathway, how cheering is the voice sympathy I A tender chord is touched in the bosom of the Christian that will not cease to vibrate, till they tread be hills and dales of Paradise, and slake their thirst from that stream that “flows fast by the throne us God.” It is a sacred duty enjoined upon us by One who spake as never man spake.

"Jesus wept!’’ Recognition of Voice between the Ewe and the Lamb.— The acuteness of a sheep’s ear sur passes all things in nature that I know of An ewe will distinguish her own lamb s bleat a mong a thousand, all braying at the same time. Besides, the distinguishmeot of voice is per fectly reciprocal between the ewe and lamb, who, amid tbe deafening sound, run to meet one another. There are few things that have ever amused mo more than a sheep shearing, and then the sport continues the whole day. We put the flock into a fold, set oat all the lambs to the bill, and then set oat the ewes to them as they are shorn. The moment that a lamb hears its dam’s voice it rushes from the crowd to meet her ; but instead of finding the rough, well-clad, comfortable mamma which it left an hour or a few hours ago, it meets a poor, naked, shivering, and most deplorable looking creature. It wheels about, and ut tering a loud tremendous bleat of perfect de spair, flies from the frightful vision. The mother’s voice arrests its flight; it returns a gain, generally for ten or a dozen times before the reconcilement is fairly made up.— The £t trick Shepherd.

If efficacious it may have some influence upon the value of Quinine. At any rate it is worth the experiment of a trial. Mr. Editor: Let me communicate to the public, through the columns of your paper, a very simple but a very certain cure for Chills ar.d Fever: The first chill is generally very light, and one is apt to suppose it will end there. The se cond one comes on the same hour, say the se cond day after. The exact time is then known when the third may be expected, and the pa tient has his case completely under his own control. In anticipation of the third chill, about a half an hour or twenty minutes before, apply a strong mustard plaster six by eight in ches, up and down the small of the back. This creates a reaction throughout the system, and the chill time passes harmlessly by. In order to facilitate and make more certain the cure, it would be better for the patient to take a dose of purgative pills, allowing suffi cient time for (he effects to pass off before the ehill time This simple and certain mode of curing Chillsand Fever need .only be tried to convince one of its efficacy and of the folly of stuffing people to death with drugs. J. M B. Mr. Clay at Home.—The Lexington Ob server concludes a notice of the arrival of Mr. Clay in that city, which was celebrated by bon-fires end the firing of cannon, end his cordial reception by the people of all parties, with the following remarks : “We have seldom seen him in better health or better spirits. And certainly we have never known I itn to return among ns, when his re turn produced so deep and intense emotion. It was uo homage to power—no sycophant adu lation to the trappings of office, but the spon taneous tribute of respect and devotion to an aged patriot whoso every pulsation seems to be for his country.” Earthquake —The shock of an earthquake was felt at Cleveland, Ohio, on the Ist inst- The Herald says : The first indication of the phenomenon was a low rumbling sound, somewhat like distant thunder, apparently in a northwesterly direc tion. This sound increased in intensity for about three or four seconds, the deepest into nations being like very heavy distant thunder ; the earth at the same instant exhibited a trem bling motion, which fasted nearly two seconds, when it gradually died away with the sound in an easterly or southeast direction. The concussion was so violent that it pro duced a jarring and rattling of the windows, furniture and crockery, and a very sensible trembling could be felt by one who stood up on the ground. Imfortant Associatibn.— An association has been formed at Jerusalem.which has for its object the liberty and scientific investigation of all subjects connected with'he H*ly Land. The members are all Protestants, and they reside within the territory embraced between the Mediterranean and the Euphrates, the Nile and tbe Orontes. The Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem holds the office of patron. Several persons residing at Juffa, Damascus and Bey rout are corresponding members. The papers read will be formed into a volume and publish ed annually. Much light, it is behoved, will, in this manner, be thrown upon many impor tant subjects in literature, history, geology, and various branches of science.

VOL.LXIV —NEW SERIES VOL. XIV—NO 43. American Inventive Genius. —The New ark, N. J., Advertiser has the de scription of a valuable invention now on ex hibition at the Essex County Fair: Crane’s Astronomical Clock.— This interest ing machine is the great attraction of the Es sex County Fair, and reflects honor both ou the inventor and our country. It requires winding but once in 376 days, and hence the ordinary chances of accidents by removing the shade to wind it, &.C., are very much lessened as compared with an ordi nary 8 day clock By simple inspection it gives the time of day, the days of the month during the whole year, the rising and setting of the sun and tnoon for any latitude, the pha ses of the moon, and the time of the sun and moon entering the signs, high and low tide, Arp- This clock is also so improved as to compen sate for differences of the motive power, and is calculated to be isochronal, the absence of which property iu time keeper* has formerly been a very serious difficulty, Mr. A. D. Crane, the inventor, has always davoted himself to the study of Horology and many of his friends in Newark have seen a wooden clock, made by him in his boyhood, with the assistance of no ether tool than his penknife, which was unexceptionable as an ordinary clock. The farmers of New Jersey are also indebted to his inventive genius for the best horse power now in use. The admi rable clock in Trinitv Chutch, Newark, was constructed by Mr Crane, and contains many novelties of value. The variation is but ten seconds in two mouths. Tbe clock is divided into three part*; the time dial being in the gallery ; the escapement is like that of a chron ometer, with compensating pendulum, and the hands are carried by separate weight, so tfau theyymay-JMi moved irvwpoctive of the clock, SUIT are detached from it. though moved by it. This secures the works from receiving any injury from accidental movements of the hands by wind, ice, or other causes ; but im mediately on tbe removal of any distorbing cause, Ihe hands resume their proper position, and are again acted upon by the clock. The striking is performed by one wheel and an es capement acting on the hammer. Mr. Crane’s greatest achievement, however, has not yet met the public eye. He is now engaged in arranging the relative parts of a style of Chronometer for sea use, in a cheap form, with less than half the work of an ordi nary movement. The train is calcolated to run four days, but by a peculiar arrangement it runs four day more, making 8 days, and this without any extra expense in its construction The escapement is peculiarly constructed, and gives four timesas much motion to the balance as the best chronometer escapement, being the great desideratum in time piece*. When manufactured, they may be afforded at one sixth the the usual price of ehip-chronometers, and will perform equal to those es the highest cost. The inventor has also made an improvement in the common Yankee clock, by which many parts are done away with, and their quality as time-keepers improved, while the price of a good brass clock will be lessened to one dol lar. A valuable machine for weighing and meas uring grain is thus described by the St. Louis Republican. It would find numerous purcha sers in this quarter: Scales for Weiohino Gs ain.—One us the most convenient and accurate machines we have seen to weigh wheat or any kind of grain, has been invent ed by Mr. W. H. T. Bramble, of Lafayette, Ind., and patented by him on the 7th of May, 1850. A model is now exhibiting by Mr. Insley, at the Vir ginia hotel in this city. We have not sufficient fa milarity with tho construction of tbe scales to at tempt a description at this time, but may say from what we have seen, that its construction and tbe principle upon which it acts is perfectly simple. Once seen, the wonder is that it wee not before in vented. I o warehouse men, millers, and those en gaged in the buying and eeliiog of grab, it seems to us to be of great value. By Every simple, yet accurate arrangement, any amount of grain may be received, weighed, and the account kept per bushel, and tue total added up by dial plates on one end of the scales. In ibis it dispenses with ihe use of tal lies and all account keeping. If a certain quantity of wheat is to be delivered, tbe machine is slightly shifted, the index set at the other end to measure the quantity required, and when that passes through it it stops. Bui its greatest value is to millers, who have to trust to other men to attend the "run.” By placing it over the hopper he may at all times ascer tain precisely how much flour he is making to the bushel. Ho may detect any errors on the part of his workmen or machinery. It is of very cheap con situation. Mr. Insley is here to sell rights to States, counties, • r individuals only. The model will be exhibited in tbe Exchange, and we commend it to the attention of our grain merchants, millers, &c. Sticking, or Court Plaster.— Bruise a sufficient quantity of isinglass, and let it soak in a litle warn water for four-and-twenty hours; expose it to heal over the fire till a greater part of the water ia dissipated, and supply its place by proof spirits of wine, which will combine with the isinglass. Strain the whole through a pieco of openlluen, taking e«re-<4ra> a*,. 1,.. -ritife inixtUr-: Aar. uraf, when cool, it may form a trembling jelly. Extend tbe piece of black silk, of which you propose making yonr plaster, on a wooden frame, and fix it in that position by means of racks or pack-thread. Then apply the isinglass (after ii has been readered liquid by a gentle heat) to the silk with a brush of finer ha<r (ba er is the best.) As soon as this first coating is dried, which will not be long, apply a second; and afterwards, if you wish the article to be very superior, a third. When the whole isdry, cover it with two or three coatings of the bal sam of Peru. Growth or St. Louis.—The Naples (111 ) Observer gives the following panorama in fu turum of the City of the Mound* : The present population of St. Louis ia computed at little leas than 90,000—ten years ago it was 22,640 ten years hence it wdl be the queen city of a mighty empire, with innumerable church steeples and ca thedral spires, flinging back the sun’s rays from bur nished points, directing the thought of man heaven ward ; while the fevered pulsation of her commer cial arteries, diffusing and con entratine the ener gies of a continental trade, will lure the hearts of her children to the shrine of Mimmoo. With a free pen cil we would fain sketch the prospective grandeur, numerical strength, political and social influences which are the manifest destiny of St. Louis—equi distant from all extremes of our great confederacy— seated by tbe river an 1 railway crossing, soon to divide North America in four parts, and give to her produce and manufactures a ready outlet to the mar kets of tbe world. The past, however striking, has but vaguely shadowed forth her coming greatness. Tomato Catsup.—Messrs Editors : An nexed I send you a most admirable recipe for making twelve bottles of the above catsup, which I received from a New York lady some years since. I also sand you a bottle put up by tne in 1847, to enable you testily as to it* keeping qualities Y. Take half a bushel of ripe tomatoes, slice them, and place them in layers in a wooden or earthen vessel, salting each layer well, using for the whole two quarts of table salt; let them stand twenty four hours ; then stew them over a slow fire six hours ; after that force them through a wire sieve sufficiently fine to ex clude the seed*. Then add the following: Spices, whole, two ounces of black pepper, two ounces allspice, two ounces of clove-, and simmer the contents over as ow fire for four hours. When cold, bottle, adding a table spoonful of best salad oil to each bottle to ex clude the air and prevent mould ; cork tightly, and seal the bottles ; keep them in summer in a cool place, and always in an upright posi tion. [We can, from experience, vouch for tbe excellence of the article made by the above recipe.—Editors."] — Nat. Int. The Flying Dutchman. —This famous ra cer has been sold to four noblemen and *en tlemen by the Earl of Eglington for £7,000. He is not intended lor the turf again, and will only be kept for breeding purposes. The Fbing Dutchman has won fourteen races, never having been beaten till r-ceotly at the great St Leger by the Earl of Zetland's Volti geur, an event attributable, perhaps, to the great weights the favoriie was compelled from his age to carry—namely 19 lbs. more than Volligeur. The Dutchman has realised the sum of £17.725 altogether for bis late noble proprietor, exclusive of plate, cups, and otner trophiesof the race course. Professor Agassiz is still lecturing in Bos ton on the nnity of tbe human race. On Friday last, in the course of the lec.ure, he pointed out many differences between the forms of the negro and the white race, a large proportion of which have not been previously remarked, and in proof of his statements he exhibi ed a large number of daguerreotypes of individuals of various races of negroes - These he procured during his visit to the South fast spring, during which he paid much attention to the anatomy of the negro race, as there exhibited in individuals of the purest African blood.

A Whauxo Frat.—Lent week we publish ed in the ship news, a brief account of a large bull sperm whale, which attacked the barque Parker Cook, on the23d of July, in lat Mi N., lon. 38 50 W. Cspt. Gamaliel Smith of the schooner Union, in the course of conver sation with Capt. Cook of the barque, learn e<l, that when the whale was first seen, two boats were sent in pursuit of him. The near est boat met him bead on, and when nearly abreast of hie hump the boat eteerer darted 'Wo irone (harpoons) into him, but before’the boat could be brought head on and stern off, he broached half out of water and capsized her. The line fouled around the leg of the boai steerer, John Jarvis, who with great presence of mind, though dragging in the water, took a knife from his pocket and cut the line. His foot was nearly severed from the leg. The other boat picked up the men. Clear of the boats the whale made a rush at the barque, head on, and struck her with such force that he buried the cutwater and stem smack up to the planking in the fore part of hie head, and the shock prostrated the men on deck. He made another dash al the vessel, but but not with such force as the first. In the meantime Captain Cook had prepared his bomb-lance, and lowered it down in one of the boats to renew the fight. Thrice within eight yards Captain Cook fired the lance into the monster,and eventually set him spouting blood, though at every dart, open mouthed, he made a rush at toe boat, requiring the utmost skill to avoid him. In his Surry he was desperate.but after running bis rounds he turned fin up.head towards the snn, and blew his last. He stowed down 103 barrels of oil; When cut in, the barque steered for Fayal, to obtain medical advice for Mr. Jarvis and to repair her stem and cutwater, which tbo whale had started in his encounter. Save roun Potatoe Vises —Most of our agricultural readers are doubtless aware of tbe value of the sweet potatoe vine, when green, as food for cattle, and especially milch cows. It has been ourbabit for several years past, to use green potatoe vines as food for milch cows, and we have found them not only highly nutritive, but they impart as fine a fla vor and as rich a color to tbe butter as even clover. Tbe plan of cutting the vines, by which the pototato is but little, if any, injured, ir preferable to turning the cows in npon them as they trample upon and injure the potatoes, and if allowed to eat freely of tbe vines, which they find more succulent and palatable man anything else they can get at that season, they will eat but litt'e dry food, and as a natural con sequence, when the vines give out they fall off. We were forcibly struck with tbis fact some four or five years ago. —since wbicb, we have not turned our cows in upon the vines, but have had the viens cut and fed to them. We would, however, advise, as a precautionary measure that the vines be carefully cut up, as the cows are liable to get choaked with them where tbis precaution is not taken. A friend of ours lost a very fiine cow in this way some days ago. But the chief object of our article is, to re commend the saving of the potatoe vines as sod. der for cattle. That they will, if well cured, make a more nutritious article of food than the common blade fodder, we have not a doubt. The process of curing well, we apprehend, will be found rather tedious, —but the labor thus employed will be moat amply repaid. We intend to try the experiment in a few days and would recommend those of our readers who have not an abundant supply of good provender for their cattle to do likewise.— Ala. Beacon. Madame Btsuor’s First Svndat Concert. —Tbe New York Day Book says that never was triumph more grand and complete than that which last Sunday night attended the first great Sunday evening concert of Madame Anna Bishop. The magnificent Tripier Hall was filled by upward of three thousand people, and it was altogether the grandest and most imposing performance, says that paper, ever heard in the United States. The whole of the music was sacred, being sublime selections from Handel, Haydn, and Mercedante. She gives her second sacred concert next Sunday. Concerts of this class are much in vogue in Europe, but there were doubts as to how they would suit the religious scruples of our peo. pie —Balt. Sun. The Boston Atlas says that the U. 3.
