Cold Water Philosophy.
If the following reflections, made hy the
Montgomery Journal of Wednesday last, on
the rainy weatliorof this week, do notcvidence
trile philosophic equanimity, we have misun
derstood the mental qualities constituting that
enviable stnte. We must confess that our re
flections for several days havcbcen very differ
ent, and that while we arc at all times thank
ful to Providence for the seasons we enjoy, we
would much prefer to return thanks for “pleas
ant weather” than for the abominable, disa
greeable, sloppy, cheerless, and muddy “time
of it” we have had over here in Georgia. Our
Montgomery friend “reasons well,” and wcare
glad that he has become so marvelously fond
of cold water—muddy at that. The ancient
philosopher who was prepared for and con
tented with whatever followed “thunder” was
not a more striking exemplar of contentment
under difficulties, than an editor who could
derive “delight” from the weather of this
week of March, 1866. Hut we will let our
Montgomery philosopher moralize in his own
way:
“To a well arranged mental apparatus, no
weather is unwelcome. To see it rain “right
smart,” is a ploasant sensation, (we speak
knowingly of course.) It is delightful to draw
up a big chair or lounge before the bright pop
ping fire and doze away the time unconscious
of troubles, and have our fancies set to music
by the falling rain—the low soft patter on tbo
windowsill, is musical aud full of mystery.—
Though our reveries may be sad, their sadness
will be beautiful; and the ghosts of hopes, the
dead dreams, conjured from the shadowy
past by the pattering rain shall assume a form
no longer hideous, to mock us, but bright and
beautiful, pointing forward to their realization
in the far future, rendering our lives hopeful
of good, though our existence thus far had
been checkered, and eventful, and destiny had
not marked us as a certain victim.
If it were not for the rainy days, we could
not appreciate the sunshine, and were it not
for the gloom and sadness that sometimes o'er
sbadows us, the bright and buoyant spirits of
our nature would not be appreciated. While
we write the pattering rain gently falls in
sweot music upon the windowsills, and amidst
the gloom of our sanctum sanctorum we pass
the sadder moments away in holding converse
with our patrons upon paper.”
The Way it Works.
There is well-aimed irony in the following
remark of the Washington Organ :
“ Another abolitionist, Charles M. Wheaton,
of Syracuse, failed recently. He was a specu
lator. and since his failure, has gone to South
Carolina, whore lie has an interest in a rail
road contract. We presume he will make
money enough there to resume his management
of the underground railroad which passes
through Syracuse to Oswego.”
Mr. Charles M. Wheaton, by this operation,
will but be carrying out on a small scale the
practical uses to which one section of the Un
ion perverts its business and political relations
with the other. The above mentioned “un
derground railroad” was established and is
kept in rui.uiug order by the Northern profits
derived from Southern products and trade.—
Fvery Southerner, who loses a slave by the
“ underground” route, has the satisfaction of
knowing that Ins cotton and the profits
derived from liis consumption of Northern
fabrics helped to institute aud keep open that
road; and he ought to be duly thankful that
he has neighbors generous enough to remem
ber him in their application of the profits de
rived from liis labor.
..
The Hoard of Aldcruiou of New York city have
referred toaconimittce a proposition contempla
ting a division of the State of Now York, by the
creation of a now State out of the city and ad
jacent territory, to be culled “ Southern New
York.” This movement has been prompted
by some legislation at Albany which is regard
ed as indicating a disposition on the part
of other portions of the State to disregard the
wants and interests of New York city. The
three islands of Southern New York—Manhat
tan, Stuten, aud Long Island—contain near
one million of inhabitants, and would consti
tute a populous mid immensely wealthy State.
Hut to carry out the proposed division the as
sent of both the State of New York and of Con
gress would have to be obtained, aud we pre
sume that the projoct is hardly attainable.
Summary Justice.
On the last trip of the stcainei Cuba from
Mobile to Montgomery, a thief was detected
issuing from the stateroom of one of the pas
sengers, with a valuable gold cross and chain.
The rascal was caught and laid across a barrel
aud severely whipped. lie was then put
ashore on a very uninviting spot
PARTY VIEWS AND MOVEMENTS.
New York —From this State we receive
many conflicting statements of the strength
and prospects of the Know Nothing nominees
for tlie Presidency and Vice Presidency. The
mi tubers and influence of the seceders from
the party are variously estimated by the press
es of the different factions, according to their
diverse interests and prejudices. Perhaps it
is too soon yet to hazard any definite conjec
ture as to the relative strength, or the proba
ble combinations, of the many parties into
which tlie people of that Stute are divided.—
Some politicians think there are indications
that the Hunker wing of the Democratic party
will no longer maintain a separate organiza
tion, hut that a portion of it will unite with
the iSofts, and the balance with the Know
Nothings. Avery iieavy Know Nothing ma
jority obtained the other day at the municipal
election in the town of Ex-Senator Dickinson s
residence, is claimed as an indication that the
Hunkers are by no means disinclined to the
support o! the American nominees. Wo shall
soon have a better view of the positions and
prospects of parties in that important State.
Texas. —A few popular movements and ex
pressions of opinion by the press indicate that
the Democracy of this State will support Pierce
in the Cincinnati Convention.
Gov. Fitzpatrick. —The Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Argus thinks
that Senator Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, will he
the Democratic nominee for the Vice Presi
dency. He writes: “ Gov. Fitzpatrick’s chances
for the Vice Presidency arc considered by the
knowing politicians as a ‘lectio ahead’ of all
others.” The same writer thinks that Presi
dent Pierce will certainly receive a re-nomina
tion, even should the two-thirds rule be adop
ted.
The Black lleci iilicans. — A letter from
Washington says: “A paper lias been circula
ted among the Northern members who are op
posed to Mr. Fillmore, recommending the call
of a National Convention to assemble in July
next, for tlie purpose of nominating candidates
for President and Vice President. The most
prominent names for nomination hy this pro
posed convention, are John C. Fremont and
Justice McLean, of the Supreme Court. The
latter has long bceu before the people as a sort
of reserved candidate, and perhaps the time
has now arrived for bringing him out.”
New Jersey.— The Democratic Btate Con
vention of New Jersey has selected a delega
tion to the Cincinnati Convention said to be
unanimously in favor of Mr. Buchanan for the
Presidency.
Married men are less troubled with the
rheumatism than are old bachelors. l)r.
Francis assigns as a reason—they sleep warm
er !— Exchange.
Perhaps a better reason tor the exemption
of married men from this trouble may be found
in the sarcastic reply of an Egyptian subject
to a ruler of his tribe who was boasting that
the plague bad not occurred during his admin
istration—“ Allah is too merciful to visit upon
us two plagues at the same time.”
Death of Alvarado Hunter.
Lieut. Charles G. Hunter, better known as
Alvarado Hunter, died in New York Hospital
last week, aged 44 years, lie was a native of
Trenton, N. J., and after being educated at
West Point, entered the navy as a midshipman.
He first came into public notice, by fight
ing a duel with a well known personage
in Philadelphia named Miller, and killing his
antagonist. For this lie was dismissed the
service, blit was afterwards restored by Gen.
Jackson. He then served with the Mediterra
nean squadron for three years. When the
Mexican war broke out, he was appointed, at
liis earnest solicitation, to the command of the
Scourge, and was sent by Com. Perry to Alva
rado to watch proceedings there. Alvarado
contained ten thousand inhabitants, and was
guarded by 3,700 regular troops with 60 guns.
Lieut. Hunter had but 65 men and one gun, a
22-poundcr; but puuting for glory, Hunter
arrived during the night time and sent a mes
sage to the General commanding him to sur
render the city within thirty minutes, or he
would destroy it with ten thousand men, who,
lie said, were awaiting orders from the beach.
The city and fort capitulated, and in the mnru
ing the American flag was waving over thorn.
This exploit was, however, a disobedience of
orders, and Hunter was dismissed from the
squadron, lie was soon after appointed to
the command of the Taney, in the Mediterra
nean, but while acting as Purser was found to
boa defaulter to the amount of SB,OOO, and
was dismissed the service. Being again re
insta'cd, ho was put in command of the brig
Bainbridge, on the Brazilian station; but dis
agreeing with Com. Slaughter, lie brought the
brig home, in disobedience of orders, and was
for this peremptorily dismissed. This misfor
tune preyed heavily upon him, and he appears
to have sunk under the weight of his griefs.—
Augusta Chronicle.
The Norfolk Herald speaking of tlie perfor
mance of the new frigate Merriimic during her
trial trip, says :
“The United Status steam ship Merrimac,
Capt. G. J. l’endergrast, left Boston on Mon
day, the 25th February, on a trial trip and iu
search of distressed vessels, having on board
Mr. Delano, Naval Constructor at the Boston
Navy Y ard, under whose superintendence she
was built, and Mr. Lawson, contractor for her
machinery, She ran as far east as Cape Sa
ble, and then ran down the Gulf Stream to the
latitudo of the Capes of Virginia, without fall
ing in with any vessel in distress, but experi
enced several severe gales, and a heavy snow
storm. The performance of the Merrimac,
both under sail ami steam, was incomparable.
Her speed is said to be beyond that of any of
the government steamers yet afloat; and her
engino, which is perfection itself, works to a
charm.”
A Railroad Break up—Loss of Life.
Petersburg, March 11. —The Express train
on the South Side Railroad, broke through
the bridge yesterday, killing three passengers
and injuring rnauy others. The cars took fire,
aud were entirely consumed.
[We learn from a passenger in the ears last
evening, that Mr. Kilkclly, one of Adams’ Ex
press Agents, Daughtey, V. S. Mail Agent,
aud one passenger, name unknown, have been
taken out dead, from the wreck of cars.] —

From Kansas.
Washington, March 11. —Advices from
Kansas, just received, state that Freesoil offi
cers had been installed at Topeka, on the 4th
inst.
Government dispatches by the steamship
Africa, from Liverpool, received at the State
Department, are unimportant.
Flour.
It is rather hard that so necessary an arti
cle, the very staff of life, should be made so
entirely the subject of speculation. First the
brawl of “superfine"’ was intended to repre
sent the best article made, but it is now any
thing from bran to shorts. Fancy brands—
fancy in more senses than one—till the market.
You have “Family extra” in every imagina
ble phase, two thirds of which would not pass
any inspcctionjas superfine. Our large shipment
abroad promised to remedy the evil. American
flour has fallen so low as to he scouted from
the market. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce
remarks :
Tlie Persia brings advices of the damage
done to the interests of our commerce by the
improper standard adopted for flour inspection
at this port. We called the attention ot tlie
trade to this evil at the time it was and veloped,
and urged the adaption of a standard which
would be alike honorable to the port, and pro
tective to tlie interests of the shippers. In
several instances, flour inspected here as “su
perfine,” lias been seized in France, by the
police, as unfit for human food, and a general
prejudice has been created against American
flour from this cause. It is no use to disguise
this fact; the low standard of inspection here
is a disgrace to the city, and this is acknowl
edged by a majority of the trade. Most of the
flour branded as “superfine,” is not of that
quality, asthe word lias been usedin pastycars;
and the low grades of “extra” arc only a fair
quality of superfine. According to the pres
ent inspection, “fancy” brands are ignored,
and there is little flour lit to be shipped that
does not go by the name of “extra.” The
cry now comes to us from abroad, “send us
your wheat and we will grind it, but give us
no more bogus flour.”
We learn that an invoice of three thousand
barrels of flour sent from New York to Havre
has been seized by the police, and that a still
larger invoice was subject to seizure at Mar
seilles. The New York Hoard of Trade have
the subject under consideration, and it is pre
sumed will devise measures to elevate the
standard of inspections.— Columbus Statesman.
Gold Hunting Revived in Texas.
The Washington (Texas) Ranger says that
a company is being organized at that place,
under Joseph 11. Wood, an old and highly res
pectable citizen, for the purpose of proceeding
to the mines above El Paso. The Ranger adds :
“ The company contemplate leaving about the
Ist of April, and all respectable, able-bodied
men who come with the necessary outfit will
be received into the company. It is well
known that the silver mines are very rich,
and industrious men who are now working
there are getting handsomely paid for their
labor. Nor is this all: Mr. Wood, who has
visited that region around the Guadalupe
mountains, is fully satisfied that gold abounds
in that country, and it is his intention to thor
oughly explore that country. He is sustained
in his belief by many others who have seen
specimens of gold quartz brought from the
mountains, among them is the editor of the
San Antonio Texan, who has been presented
with specimens ol” gold quartz which was pro
cured about one hundred miles north of San
Antonio. He further states that several per
sons who have spent much time in the mines
of California say that where sucli specimens
are found, gold always abounds in the country
around, and often on the surface of the earth.
♦
Nicaragua and the Allies.
lon, the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, says :
The convention between Nicaraguaaml Great
Britain, which 1 alluded to in my letter yester
day, has so much effect as to prevent the for
mer, for some six years, trom resuming pos
session of the port of San Juan. Gen. Walker
intends, it appears, to test the real purpose
and intentions of Great Britain in restricting
Nicaragua from the assertion of any jurisdic
tion in Mosquito. 1 have little doubt now
that Great Britain will profess to find, in the
present act of Gen. Walker, a double pretext
for the protection of the Mosquito Kingdom.
In a war against American tilibusterism it
is well known that both Great Britain and
France are prepared to unite.
The significant article in the Constitutiouel,
appearing simultaneously with one of the same
menacing tenor in the London Morning Post—
both semi-official—show that there does now
exist a cordial understanding between the two
governments extending to American affairs.

Finances of Alabama.
In IS 17 tlie bond debt amounted to $9,232,-
656 ; in 1853 to $4,481,660 ; it now amounts
to $4,231,888. To offset this debt in part the
State owns of Virginia aud North Carolina
bonds SBOO,OOO, which, deducting, leaves the
bond debt at $3,431,888. On the first of Jan.
1858, $584,888 of thebonddebt fallsdue, with
out tlie power of renewal. The outstanding
debts to the old banks amount to $6,040,563,
ofwhich only $286,652, is estimated to be
good—showing that the State has lost about
$6,650,611 by engaging in tlie banking busi
ness—borrowing money tolend to her citizens.
The bank notes of the old banks actually in

death of Mr. Daniel Korncga of that county.—
Mr. K. was engaged in ginning sea island cot
ton on a roller gin, when he was informed by
a servant in attendance that the lint was on
fire iu the room below, where it was received
from tlie gin. He immediately plunged into
the lint room through a small aperture left for
uuclogging tlie mouth of the gin, when the
current of uir fanned the fire into flame, and
involved the whole in conflagration. Mr. Kor
liegn was taken from the devouring elements
a few hours after, nearly consumed—both arms
and legs burned entirely oft", and only a small
portion ol” his body remained to be interred by
his weeping friends.

Soap from Cotton Seed.
Mr. Barnes, a soap manufacturer in New
Orleans, La., has manufactured anew article
of soap, made from cotton seed ; it is purely
vegetable, and has the same properties as Cas

SUPPOSED WRECK OF THE PACIFIC!
Avgusta, March 13—P. M.
We learn by the Arabia, that the British
steamship Edinburgh reports Having seen, on
the 7th of February, pieces of the wreck of a
first class steamer. It is believed that these
were fragments of the ill-fated Pacific.
The European Peace Conference.
Augusta, March 13—P. M.
When the Arabia sailed there were various
rumors of the proceedings and deliberations of
the Peace Conference in session at Paris. It
was rumored that the Russian ambassadors
were raising objections that were like to break
up the Conference. The prodeedings, however,
were kept strictly private.
New Hampshire Election.
Augusta, March 13—P. M.
At the State election in New Hampshire,
which came off on Tuesday, there was no
choice of Governor by the people. Both
branches of the Legislature arc anti-Adminis
tration.
Cotton.
In the Cincinnati Railroad Record we find
the following interesting article upon the cul
tivation of Cotton. The object of the article
is to show that the revenue from the cotton
trade might be vastly increased. To prove
this, lie considers—
First—The amount of the refuse of the
cotton crop. As near as can be ascertained
about 5,000,000 acres of land are planted with
cotton; the average product of this land is a
little over 300 lbs. to the acre baled Cotton,
making according to the author of “Cotton is
King,” in 1853, a total production of 1,600,-
000,000 lbs. of baled Cotton. New, one pound
only of baled is obtained from three and one
third pounds of the rough product. We have,
then the following statement of the cotton pro
duct of the country in 1853.
Total product of the field 6,333,000,000
Total baled Cotton 1,600,000,000
Refuse, thrown to waste 4,733,000,000
This, then, developes the remarkable fact,
that the refuse of the cotton crop is, iu weight,
two and one-third times as great asthe present
available product of the cotton culture. If
Cotton is King now, when only thirty per cent,
of tlie fruit of the cotton plant is made availa
ble, what will he the importance of this great
staple when the plantation shall yield one hun
dred per cent, of valuable and available pro
duct?
Second.—The use to which tlie refuse of the
cotton crop may be applied. The refuse of
tlie cotton crop consists of the seed and a res
idue of fibre still adhering to it, in the
ratio of about 40 per cent, of fibre, and 60 per
cent, of seed.
The Fibre.—The fibre immediately cover
ing the seed is worthless to the spinner, but
may nevertheless be made available in the arts,
for just such purposes as the worn out fibres
of the manufacturer are now employed, and
will supply a commercial want that has long
been felt, and for which ingenuity, misdirect
ed, has long sought. This w orthless fibre sub
jected to proper preparation will furnish a
valuable supply of material for paper making.
Assuming the valuable of this to be the same
as the cheapest rags in market, and we have—
Total refuse 3,733,000,000 lbs.
Fibre 40 per cent 1,403,200,000
Value at one cent per 1b... $14,932,000
Now allowing 20 pev cent, for wastage in
manufacture, the usual allowance of paper
makers, and the quantity of paper made an
nually from this refuse would be as follows :
Fibre 1,493,200,000 lbs.
Waste 20 percent 298,640,000
Paper 1,194,560,000
Estimating this as common wrapping paper
at the average price of wrapping paper per
pound, and we have
1,194,560,000 lbs. paper at 5 cents, $59,728,000
Aud when it is considered that at least two
thirds of this material is suitable lor the man
ufacture of fine printing paper worth from 11
to 14 ecu's per pound, this will be found to be
a low estimate.
A large portion of the profit of :lie manufac
ture would accrue to the cotton growing
States, as tlie labor necessary to be bestowed
ontpaper-making is comparatively little.
To paper makers and those connected with
the press, who know tlie commercial want of
such a material, we need say nothing of the
value of such a supply at the present moment.
The most careless observer cannot fail to per
ceive tlie important bearing which such a sav
ing annually would have on this portion of our
agricultural, manufacturing and publishing in
terests.
The Seed.—The seed of the cotton plant is
in itself by no means a worthless material.—
Like tlax and others seeds it contains a large
per eentage ol” oily matter, which can be ex
tracted and applied to useful purposes. Re
cent experiments have shown that Cotton-seed
oil is one of the most valuable for both illumi
nating and lubricating purposes. In these
respects it ranks equal to the best Sperm oil,
but in our calculations of its value we shall
put it as equal only to the cheapest grease in
the New York market,
Cotton seed, when compressed, yields 39
per cent, of oil aud 70 per cent, of oil cake.—
Assuming the same data as before, the yield of
oil would then be as follows:
Total refuse of crop 3,733,000,000 lbs.
Clean seed 60 per cent 2,289,800,000 “
Oil, 30 per cent, of last ain’t, 671,940,000 “
Oilcake, 70 per cent 1,507,800,000 “
‘The writer then introduces some calculations
showing the use of the oil, cotton seed as a
material for candles, or oil cake, and the arti
cle concludes as follows:
Conclusions.—lt would seem then from the
considerations already mentioned, that we an
nually waste 8,733,000,000 lbs. of valuable
vegetable products, the value of which may
be briefly summed up as follows:
l’aper $59,728,000
Oil 57,194,000
Oil cake 7,839,5300
$1534,761,300
Allowing uuc-half for manufacturing, and
there would still remain a clear gain to the
country as profits and for cost of material,
$67,380,650, over 50 per cent of tlie present
value of the cotton crop.
