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.] — Columbia Times. 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 circulation ainouut to $450,153, besides $841,- 619 now in the State Treasury. Tlie total collections from the banks for the past two years were $242,5153. ■ Frightful Death in Thomas County. ThcThomasville (Ga.) Enterprise records the 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. <+■ The Springfield Argus speaks of anew rifle musket manufactured at the United States Ar mory in that city, which lias just been brought to perfection under the direction of the war department, and which will hereafter be made for the service. This weapon weighs about nine and one-half pounds, has the rifle-barrel, the Maynard primer, and all the improvements which modern science has brought to the aid of this branch of manufacture. Dr. William P. Richardson, of New Kent county, Virginia, charges a vaccine agent in that State with having furnished “genuine vac cine matter” to him, in consequence of which eighty persons who had beeu vaccinated in that county with it, are now siek with the small pox, and some of the cases very critical. The sulijcct is now : cfore the legislature. 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 tile soap; the color is dark, for the reason that it is made from tine dirtiest portion of the seed. It is sold at six cents per pound. TELEGRAPHIC. Telegraphed for the Daily Sun, (And not picked up “in the streets.”) 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.
