Fo« S in relation to Mr, j Pierce’s Now Boston speech, which he has sent *; us for publication. Mr. J. says in his letter tons: | “Enclosed is a letter from A. T. Foss, which, it j you think it will add to the already abundant < proof on the subject,” <fec., “you are at liberty to j publish.” Manchester, August 23d, 1858. i ( William P. Jones; My dear .Sir—l have received your of the luth { last'.', in wliich you make inquiries of mo in regard to a speech made by General Franklin Pierce at New Boston (N. H.j) which was reported by me. the truthfulness of which repoit has been denied. You also inquire respecting an affidavit which you gay “is charged to be a forgery.” Yon request of me “ the personal favor” to inform you ot the facts in the case, which in common courtesy, I do not feel at liberty to refuse. The facts are these; On thi 2d day ot January last, Gen. Pierce, agreeable to previous notice, made a political speech in New Boston, on the is sue that was then before the people of New Hamp shire on their approaching election. The issue was this: Hon. John Atwood, the Democratic nominee for the office of Governor, had expressed dissatisfaction with some features of tho fugitive slave law. For this he had been dropped by his party, and a new nomination had been made. — This occasioned a divison in tho Democratic ranks, and so many of the party adhered to the views of Mr. Atwood, that the party wore beaten in the ensuing election by a heavy majority. An other election was now at the duor, and all the available orators of the party wore brought into the field. New Boston, the home of John Atwood, was assigned to Gen. I*. The only question be tween Mr. Atwood and his friends, and the lead ers of the democratic party, was the fugitive slave law ; the town of New Boston at the previous elec tion, on this very issue, had given her entire vote for Mr. Atwood, with tho exception of some forty or fifty, which were given to the regular nominee. It was expected of course that Gen. P. would apeak with special reference to the fugitive slave law: it was what he came for; it was what the people came to hear. He did speak of that law, and the result was that in the ensuing election New Boston gave a heavy majority against Mr. Atwood. I was there to report this' speech, and did so with entire fidelity, attributing nothing to (lea. I*. which he did not utter. Seven months af ter the publication of this report, it was found ne cessary for Gen. P.’s interest to deny its truth. As I felt entirely sure of the correctness of the report, as I did not rely at all upon memory in making the report, but wrote the words which are ascribed to Gen. P. as they fell from his lips, and therefore knew that there was not a word in that report with in quotation marks, which he did not then and there speak—l therefore, when asked if willing to make an affidavit to the truth of the report, felt no hesitancy in so doing. This is the affidavit I pre sume of which you speak. These sayings of Gen. P’s were uttered no doubt at that time to affect the ponding election. And it is not at all surprising that he succeeded so well in changing the vote of Now Boston, since he was so successful in convincing so many that the Fugi tive slave law was as revolting to his feelings as to theirs ; but to secure the peace of the country we ought to submit to it for the present. 1 will here do Gen. P. the justice to say that however these sentiments might have been dictated by policy, I have not the slightest doubt that he spoke the feelings ofliis heart. These sentiments did not fall upon democratic ears as something new and strange ; they were sentiments which had been held torth by Gen. P., by the democratic leaders, by democratic legislatures, conventions, and cau cuses, in everjr-variety of phrase, and with every assurance that they were sincerely and heartily en tertained. The question is being urged in democratic papers at the South if Gen. P. holds sentiments so accor dant with my own on the fugitive slave law, why Ido not support him for the Presidency f My an swer is two fold. First while Ido not doubt that Gen. P. would act in entire accordance with the feelings of his heart, and certainly in harmony with his professions, in doing what he might be able to do lor the modification of tho fugitive slave law, and for tho removal of slavery from all those pla ces where the General Government have exclu sive power over it, if this could be done in har mony with his political aspirations and interests, still 1 do not believe that he is capable of acting from those high moral considerations which ought always to control us irrespective of personal con- , siderationa. Secondly, Ido not believe he passes ! the requisite statesmanship for so responsible nu 1 office. You speak of yourself as a Scott Whig. I trust you will not deem it a rudeness, if with entire frankness I say, that while 1 feel myself unable to tote for Gen. Fierce, much less do I feel that I could give niv vote to your favorite nominee.— While Ican feel no objection is Gen. Scoff as a slates m-m, I do feel a strong objection, to him as a pro-sla very tmm, {occupying a platform, which, so far as slavery is concerned, seem-* built in rivalahip of the one which Gen. Pierce stands. Besides, Gen. Scott is a Southerner by birth and education, and it is a natural inference that he would not feel the same repugnance to slavery as one born and edu cated at the North, and should it be consonant with his interests that his influence would be given against the institution of Southern slavery. I believe the above fully answers the inquiries yon have made, and it is entirely at your disposal. With sentiments of respect, Your obedient servant, A. T. Foss. The Kor-i-nook.—The re-cutting of this j?em, which is unique in its kind, waa finished on Tues day last. The expectations of the Jewish artist who undertook this responsible task have been fully realized, and the misgivings of the scientific f entlemen, who questioned the final success, re nted. It is now unsurpassed by any diamond above ground in shape, lustre and beauty. Her Majesty the Queen inspected the two smaller diamonds before her departure for Balmoral, and expressed her high satisfaction with the brilliancy and beauty given them by the new process. The largest gem having left the hands of the artisiaus employed for the purpose, thev have oaeh received from the hands of their employer, Mr. Garrard, ; the Queen’s jeweller, a pieceof silver plate, with the i model of the Koh-i-noor hi the centre, and bearing | the following inscription : “ Presented by Mr. Garrard to Mr. Fodder and Mr. Voorzanger, in commemoration of the cutting of the Koh-i-noor. Commenced the 16th July, and finished the 7th September, ISs2.” —Jewish Chronicle. Embezzlement.—Mr. Wm. Hunter, of tho linn \ otfMeCarthy & Hunter, was arrested on Wednes day ut the instance of Messrs. Phelan di Delamere upon a charge of embezzling goods from them to a large amount. Upon failure to give a bond for S4OOO for his appearance at a preliminary examina tion, he was committed to Jail. It appears that Hunter has been for a long time engaged by Phe lan <fe Delamere, as their confidei tal clerk. About three years ago he left their employ and shortly afterwards associated himself with Mr. T. McCar thy, in the drygoods business, where he was at the time of his arrest. A search-warrant was taken out yesterday morn ing, and up to the hour of writing goods consist ing of silks, muslins, <fec., costing, in New York, Howards of $2,100, had been found in their store claimed by Mr. Delamere as the property of his flrni. He says he identifies them by his private price-mark, which is crossed out bv a pencil and others substituted. We feel it but due to Mr. Mc- Carthy to state that heis not at all implicated hi ibis case, and has been exonerated from all blame in this connection, by all tho parties interested, and that it was partially through hi* instrumentality that the matter is brought to light.— Mobile Adver tiser. ' ' '* — 1 - I—l.« The Mohawk Indian*.—The editors of the New York Commercial Advertiser received a visit on Thursday morning from Mr. John W. Hill and his son, of that branch of the Mohawk tribe whose settlement is on the Bay of Qumte. This portion of the tribe consists of about five hundred mdividdals, all of whom, the Advertiser learns, •re members of the Protestant Episcopal Church. They came to New York “ to solicit aid from the clergy and others of the Episcopal churches, lor the purpose of meeting the expense in the erec tion of anew church in their settlement.” Tbe Messrs. Htli ar« highly respectable men, and bring •with them letters of recommendation from the j Bishops of Toronto, Montreal, sud Quebec, Arch- : deaeon Stuart, and others. Navt Yard at Algiers.—Com. Josiah Tatnall and Capt. R Farrand, of the V. S. Navy. arrived in this city on Tuesday last, lor the purpose of ex aming and reporting on the locality proposed tor the navy yard and depot in or near Algiers. Their ' Attention, we believe, is more particularly drawn to the *ite near the Third District ferry landing, at Algiers. The officers entered on their examina tion on Wednesday last, and, it is expected, will j fbrward a report to Washington Oitv to-day. —JT. j 0. P*. 5 ’ Hope. ~v t1 „.

Maco ; from the Amatold mountains and Waterkloof, \ ’tiuiKd to send out parties of marauders who tick the herd* of the colonists and sweep off cal i]o within sight of Grahamstowu. Various cotm oraoting movements had been made by Gem Oath 'art with but little success, excepting on the 241 h Inly, when the Rifle Brigade, with the loss of only me man, killed upwards of 100 Caffres and cult ured some powder and stores. Gen. C atheurt aas issued a proclamation, couched iu rather sor •astic language, calling on tho colonists to send him a deputation of fighting men to show, at least, sympathy with his operations. I ailing the arrival of this deputation, he says “he should arrive at the painful conviction that the colonists of the pre sent day have not the energy to exert themselves iu their own cause, and are unable to keep their enemies at the distance to which he has removed them, and what is worse, the chief Kreili, con vinced of the same fact, instead of standing in awe of the colonists, would henceforth hold them in the estimation which they would deserve.” He also threatens, if ill supported on this occasion, that the array will be withdrawn from a war “in which Britain has no real interest, except from motives of sympathy and benevolence;” in which case his parting advice to the colonists would be to “ keep fewer sheep and oxen and mure shep erds and herdsmen; for wild men and wild beasts will soon again recover their ancient soveriegnity on the Fish River and Zuubiirg and beyond, and you will be unable to drive them out as your fathers did in the olden time.” Private accounts states that tho war has no pros pect of a speed termination. On the contrary, the Cadres are becoming better disciplined, and manoeuvre with all the slull of regular troops, and in their latest engagement, extended, advanced, re tired, &C.. by the sound of the bugle. The Cape Town Mail of 3d August says “At this moment, life and property are scarcely anywhere secure within one hundred miles ot Caffre Land except in the immediate vicinity of military posts. Produc tive industry within that wide space is everywhere paralysed, and the inhabitants of the best portion of the Eastern Province are reduced to the misery of seeing their once fertile lands thrown out of cultivation, their valuable flocks ot the finest wool bearing sheen in the world plundered, driven about, and destroyed ; their laborers dispersed and enticed away to join the savage enemy on one side, or be embodied in scarcely less savage bauds of irregular levies on the other and their families are kept iu continual alarm, liable at any moment to be huddled together iu lagers or exposed to nil the demoralization of crowded camps. Accounts from other parts of the Colony, Caftra ria excepted, are favorable. An impetus is given to business by the establishment of steamships from England to India and Australia, touching at tho Cape, and efforts, though tardy, arc making to improve the harbor accommodation, Coal is said to have been discovered near the Constantia Vine yards. Measures arc is progress to make Table Bay a coaling depot for Eastern steamers. From Natal the news is peaceful and favorable; rice and coffee can be grown to advantage, and fif teen thousand cane tops have been ordered from the Mauritius to experiment in growing sugar. In a letter of Francis W. Rice, Esq., defending his course as United States Consul at Acapulco, oh appears iu the New York Times, the fol lowing system of unjust extortion practiced by the officers of the Government against American citi zens is thus alluded to. When I first went to Acapulco, I was requested by the Judge, to detail tire papers of the mail steam ship Fremont, until a case iu his court could bo decided in regard to a charge of contraband in the port of San Bias. To this 1 immediately replied, (it was the second day after 1 opened my office,) that I had no authority to comply with any such request—but on the contrary, if the courts had any intention of detaining or troubling the ship, I must necessarily be found in the defensive. This short note was replied to by the Judge, (written by old Perdijon Garay, a keen Mexican lawyer, who had been banished and imprisoned in the Cast'e of Acapulco, by Arista,) on four foolscap pages—in which law and precedent iu regard to Consuls, was quoted as far back as 200 years—ad vising me as to what my duty was in the premises. 1 still politely refused, telling the Judge that I must go according to the law r and my instructions, as 1 understood them, ami if 1 went wrong, I should beheld to answer by the United States Secretary offdate. Another thing. I found all Americans passing over to tho city of Mexico, taking passports from the Prefect of Police, paying him 12 each for them. I notified the Prefect that this ought to be discontinued, as I was authorized by my Govern ment to give passport* gratis, and that the only charge he could reasonably make was 25 cento to vise them. He refused to vise my passports, and still demanded $2 12. I therefore notified the Americans that they need not pay this charge, and the Prefect finally gave tip the point, confes sing that I was right. But, Mexioan-iike of coarse ho is my enemy. Thcn’l found Ain erica us taking out '■'curias d« seguridadf (letters of security) which had to be renewed half yearly, at a cost of eight or ten dol lars a year besides a good deal of trouble. I pro tested against this, and the Americans refused to apply for them. Thereupon, they were all brought 'to the Police Court, and fined S2O. I defended j them by producing the treaty of 1831, Article 15, j 1 thi*k, which says that no tuxes, charges, or im i posts shall belaid on Americans except those levied : on Mexican citizens ; and the thing was dropped as to the “carta*." 1 This year they took the same course, but I again remonstrated, and the “curias"' have again dropped through. Would you believe that while no American is thus imposed upon now in Acapulco, notices appear semi-yearly in the Mexico city papers, signed by the different Minis ters, (I do*not recollect to have seen Mr. Letcher’s name signed to any of these notices) notifying the i people of their nations, that they must go through with this costly and troublesome routine! Well, \ 1 don’t suppose ibis made me many friends iu the i Police Department, do you ? But don’t you think | it better to support the rights of your own i countrymen, and not allow treaty stipulations to be l ijTraded, than to be flattered by Mexican officials | for your suavity, and laughed at behind your back 1 for your subserviency. { What do you suppose I have seen an American ■ ship detained here for ? Why, because her form er owner owed $94 for a meat bill contracted in | San Francisco a year previous 1 The Judge held ! that the bottom of the shin wan always good for the i meat, whether purchased by her present owners or not, or whether contracted in San Francisco or any other country! I showed him the law, and the captain was released. But enough : I have piled up facts sufficient to enable you to judge of my difficulties in Acapulco—but do not shun the work, and as long as I remain in Acapulco, I shall pursue the same coarse, kill or care. Cheat Postage. —Tho Colonial and Internation al Cheap Postage Association, recently formed in London, under the Presidency of Earl Granville, and of which Lord Ashburton and Mr. Brow n, M. P. for Lancashire, arc the most prominent support : ere, have issued the following circular explanatory of their view’s: “Let a Postal Union be formed between as many countries as possible, on the following simple I grounds: j “1. Each country shall fix a rate of foreign pos ; tage at its own discretion, provided that the rate j be uniform to every country in the proposed Postal 1 Union, and .every part of that country, and that rate shall be prepaid in all cases. “2. Each country shall engage to receive, trans mit or deliver to its address, free of any charge whatever, any letter passing to it free from the post offices of tiie other subscribing countries. “In other word?, each country shall levy a re venue on letters outwards, none on letters in wards. “Thus each country would collect its own reve nue in its own coin, subject to its own regulations: uniformity and simplicity would be secured a? far as they are practically useful to the inhabitants of a country, and cheapness would come of itself. Indeed, no Government would enter such an ar rangement that did not recognise the advantage of cheap postage, and no country would very long charge its citizens much more for the carriage of a letter than a stranger would have to pay for the reply of that letter when the service rendered is precisely the same.” The Dead on the Plains.— Col. George E. Blod get, who has just reached St. Joseph' from tho plains, has furnished the Gazette of that plaec with a list containing the names, time of death, end former residence of some 150 persons, whose graves he saw on the roadside on the North side of the Platte, between Devil’s Gate and the Missouri river. There are many graves oft’ the road he did not see ; the majority w r ho die are buried at the differ ent camping places, sometimes four ©r five miles off' the main trail. He describes the scene along the entire road as truly heart rending; from the imperfect manner in which the dead are buried, the wolves soon scent and drag them from their shallow graves, strewing the trail with hu ran bones. He estimates the emigration this year at 40,0'>> people, with B*9oo wagons, and about 60,000 head of cattle.—St, lso/i* Intelligencer, 17 th met. — A heavy hotel robbery was committed at the Aster House, N.Y., ofl Saturday evening, when ! two foreigners from Bremen, who had arrived iu the steamer Pacific, had their trunks rifled of jewelry, money, hills ot exchange, & e ., amount ing in ail to some $2,000.

The case is so plain that I can but hope that Geor ' gia will be right too. Sir, the deep, the profound p ; thinking, the wise nud good, the patriotism of * i Georgia, will yet come up to the help of their couu j I try. Such men ns Dr. Pierce will not remain idle i ! spectators, when our country needs their aid.— » j From the days of Israel, the best men stood up for . | their Canaan, for their rights, civil and religious, i j and you will find many who, in common, arc silent 3 but watching, and when they find a Nero or an ■ Ahab Sto be placed over them, they will speak and act too. Those partisans, who regard alone i ■ the spoils of their country, and seek them through ■ , availability, may fret and rave at the sentiments of | I such means Dr. Pierce; their object is to silence ? i him and allsuch, that they may reap their harvest so r spoils—many of whom would have it at the cost of ’ our glorious Republic. Rule or min is still in the I i hearts of many. But, sir, there are good men nud 7 true, (and I hope a majority in Georgia,) who will ' j not go to thorns to gather grapes, nor expect to ! gather figs of thistles, and if they need wool will not shear a goat to get it. Such men cannot bow to . • the ipsedixit of the late National Conventions.

The Democracy. ; lu » late number of his paper, the Editor of 'he ■ y'Hfhrn Banner, in the conclusion of a longe li- j orial, makes up the following bill of indictment j ~ gainst the late Secession, now “Democratic” party | >f Georgia and the South: In the indictment which we feci it to be our duty o put forth against their leaders, we do not in- I bide the rank and file of their party. The great Tody of them were, no doubt, misled by their old political and personal associations,and kept in the lark aa to the ulterior designs of their leaders in dieir late sectional movements of “resistance, •secession,” <fcc. But, upon the testimony of El wood Fisher, the Senior Editor of the Southern Press, the acknowledged organ, at Washington City of all the late Southern Rights Clubs and or ganizations at the South, we charge and accuse them of a concerted design to dissolve the Union of I these States, and insist that they are unworthy of ( the confidence either of their own rank and file, whom they have betrayed , or of any portion of the people of Georgia. What says Mr. Fisher ? lu his valedictory address of August 9th, which is re produced in the Macon Telegraph of the 17th in.-t., wo find the following: “To this position the two editors of this press were called. Speaking now for himself, the senior editor lias to say that he could not have refused such a call without self-reproach. Such a press had for years been n darling object of Mr. Calhoun, who had steadily insi . L ed that the senior editor of this paper should cojduct it. lie undertook the task, not to defend slave property alone, but all property; and to defend the whole system of Southern Society, which ho considered the best the world had yet seen on an extensive sca’e.” We introduce this paragraph to show that Fisher was in the counsels of Mr. Calhoun, and acquaint ed with his designs. He afterwards says : “The views of Mr. Calhoun on the question of slavery have now all been vindicated by events. His speeches were prophecies. Y'et, except from ixis own State, he was almost universally opposed and denounced. We have repeatedly seen him deserted in Congress by all his professed friends. Ho was a man the most hopeful, and of the most amiable disposition and equanimity we ever knew, but one. Yet we have heard from his own lips on such occasions, the language of a spirit stricken with that sentiment the most terrible of all—the loss of faith among his fellow-men. It was quite the fashion among Southerm members to show ;heir great independence and profoundly by dif fering from him, and presenting plans of Southern policy of their own. And now the South has made the battle. She lias displayed her sagacity by the variety of her expedients, and the confusion of her counsels. Continued divisions have characterized her tactics, and her only achievement is defeat. But she has at last reached a groat desideratum. She has arrived at the long desired union of the South. And that has been found in submission.— submission, not to necessity, which binds all men and States, with or without their will—but she has pronounced her own voluntary declaration of opin ion in favor of submission—of “abiding by and ad hering to” measures which she once unanimously denounced, and for which several of her Stat s con - templated disunion. Such was the behest of party, and such the power of party. “And to tnia even South Carolina appear? to humble herself. “And does she suppose she wiil find incase of Democratic success, tie-share of office or spoils —does she expect to roa’ize from the chance of a chance, an equivalent for the dignity, consistency, and character she hud ?—she that yesterday pro claimed the Compromise to be such a robbery and outrage —docs she now “ adhere to and abide by its faithful execution?” We can tell South Caro lina and all the South there is no equivalent. The word of a State, of a people, of a section, is more important than that of a man—more than the chastity of a w oman. War, pestilence and famine, fire and flood, may visit a country, and from all these effects it may recover. But'a demoralized people, spring seldom revisits, and day never dawns on the night of their shame. South Caro lina is ave-y good head of a State rights party. She never can be anything but the tail of a Nation al Democratic one, and a tail that will be continu ally trodden on.” We call attention to the assertion of Fisher in the above extract, that for these Compromise meas ures several of the Southern States comtempluted dis union. He, undoubtedly, alludes to South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi, the only States in which the “contemplated disunion” movements were seriously made, and by the Southern Rights parties in those States. His testimony is that of an accomplice and a loading conspirator, and is fortified bv all the contemporaneous movements made in those States by the various Southern Rights parties, clubs, and affiliated societies. Un less the rank and file of the democratic party now promptly repudiate the action and the organization of the leaders who stand convicted at the bar of public opinion, and of a design to break up the Union, it will be demoralized in the public estima tion and incapable hereafter of any vigorous effort, to say nothing of the extreme peril to the peace and integrity of the Union, with the rains of the State government in the hands of men entertaining such views and opinions. Dangerous as were these men to the pence of the country under their sectional, Southern Rights or ganization of the last two years, they become much more so in re-investing themselves with the garb of the “ democratic party,” of Georgia, ami attempt ing to appropriate it to their own exclusive con trol. Whilst they remained outside of the fold of the National Democracy, they could not deceive the people. They were regarded as wolves seek ing the destruction of the flock, and treated accord ingly. They are still wolves, but have of late pretended to put on “sheep's clothing,” the better to accomplish their purposes. The editor of the Columbus, (Ga.) Sentinel, (a Southern Rights print) bears the following pointed testimony against them in his paper of the loth inst. Says he: “ Inasmuch, therefore, as there is no probabili ty that tho Southern Rights men can vote for a candidate of their own w ith a chance of affecting the prospects of either of the candidates of the national parties, it is their bounden duty to cast their votes and influence for that candidate who is most favorable inclined to State Rights. This, we understand from his letter, is the po sition of General Quitman. This also, is the po sition of Mr. Tony, and this is the position of the great body of Southern Rights men in Georgia. They del not propose to merge the Southern Rights party into the l>eniocrotic party. They have but little more confidence in the Democrats of the North than they have in the Whigs of the North. Tho Northern'wings of both parties are tainted with abolition.” His testimony is that The great body of Southern Rights men in Georgia, do mot propose to merge the Southern Rights party into the Democrat ic party." j&t:Z The truth is they are the same old sectional party in disguise , and that man must be blind who does not see it. Tbb Germans Repudiating the Democracy.—A number of the most influential Germans of Cincin nati, have joined in a letter pledging five hundred German voters in one Congressional district against Pierce. They say: Wo have for many years past, voted and acted wit h the Democratic party, supposing the principles of that party true to the great interests of our adopt ed home, and the free institutions of our glorious and independent country. But, satisfied from the movements of the late Democratic Convention, tho interests of our country and her institutions, are no part of the creed of the leaders of that party ; on the contrary, self-emulation is the sole object of these demagogues. We know them well now ; we know their love for the Dutch. They would ride into office through our votes and then kick ns for our stupidity. We now frankly confess that we have been duped for years, and sincerely hope our brethren will not remain in the dark as long as wc have. Wc shall, each of us, use every effort to give them light, that they may see, sooner than welmvo, the error they have fallen into. The following are the signors to 'ho letter : Niclas Mannger, E. 11.

Francis Reis, Alabama Insane Hospital.— The Legislature of Alabama at its last session passed an act “to es tablish a hospital for insane persons in Alabama.” Tho Mobile Register says that by this act five per cent on the total amount of the revenues of the State, for four years, was net apart for the purchase of tho necessary lands, the erection of the build ings, and making tho proper improvements ; the ojirire cost, however, was not to exceed, until oth erwise ordered, the sum of one hundred thousand dollars. Tuscaloosa was selected as the point for the location of the institution, and the Governor was vested with power to carry the act into effect. Under his appointment, a board of commissioners designated a tract of land, not far from the Uni versity of Alabama, as a site for the institution, and Dr. A. Lopez was commissioned to visit the insane asylums iu the different States of the Union, and reporta plan for the construction of the edi fice. He has reported iu favor of erecting a build ing 777 feet in length, four stories in height at the centre, and three stories at the wings. This will afford accommodations for Jsb patient*, and it if estimated to cost about *IBO,OOO. On the 21st inst. about two hundred feet of the bridge at ludianpolis, Ind., fell.

One produce house iu that city has received an order for fifty tons from a Rappahannock farm er, and another for thirty tons. Tho Fredericks burg papers says: “We have also had cited to us several instances wherein practical results were shown from the ap plicatiug of guano. One gentleman, whose means were rather limited, commenced a few years ago by tho application of fifty pounds. At that time his farm raised a bare sufficiency ot corn to support the ordinary wants of his household and his stock, whilst in the way of wheat he had but a small quan tity to sell. He increased the application gradual ly as his increased crops allowed, until this year he has one hundred and fifty barrels of corn to sell, besides a very fair crop of wheat. He is able to apply what will be equal to about four tons cf guano this Fall, when but a few years since his means allowed him an application ol only fifty pounds.” Opticians preserve a peculiar race of spiders, whose webs they employ to strain across the eye pieces of important telescopes, a? no fabric of hu • man construction, is sufficiently fine for the pur pose.
