“Southern Rights" in New York. —Capt- C.
Kesgles, of New York, the gentleman who tender
ed military e'd to Governor Wise, writes to the
Fredricksburg Recorder as follow? :
An association is uow being formed in this city,
styled the Southern Rights Association ; its object
oeing to protect the rights of States as guaranteed
by the Constitution, and interpreted by the high
court of the United States. The duty of the
members of the society is to be directed against
fanaticism, where it is prejudicial to the peace of
the country. The present enemies of law and
order to be discomtited at the ballot box, by the
popular voice if poseiLle, or at the point of the
bayonet in the alternative contingency. The
watchword, Union and Fraternity.
We hive no doubt the association wili be prompt
ly organized with all due publicity, and will be
composed almost exclusively of mou, who will take
good care to have it extensively heralded at the
South, in order to secure Southern trade 1 We
have quite as much confidence iu the devotion of
an organization in New York, to Southern rights, as
we have in the sincerity of those ultra pro slavery
ruea at the South, who hail from New England.
Tiiey are both influenced, with few exceptions, by
the twitching? of that very delicate and sensitive
indicator of their sentiments, the pocket nerve, and
tue one is equally entitled to the confidence of the
South as the other. There are exceptions to the
rule, but they are like angels visits, ‘‘few and far be
tween.’
A Good Suggestion. —The Richmond Enquirer,
In view of the evident tact that separate legislation
of Virginia to exclude Northern manufactures from
t 1 s S ate, will be futile unless the other Southern
States adopt & common remedy, recommends that
Virginia shall appoint commissioners, to meet simi
lar commissioners from the other Southern States,
most of whose Legislatures are in s-salon at this
time, whose duty it shall be to frame the principle
of non intercourse iato such laws as will receive the
sanction of the different Legislatures ot the Southern
States.— Rich. Ditp.
This suggestion we regard as absurd asthescheme
is ridiculous. Such a thing cannot possibly be
carried into effect, and no practical, business mind
would entertain it for a moment. Such suggestions
are always the emanations of visionary schemers
and impracticable uliraists, whose opinions on any
important question involving the rights and inte
rests of the country are ot little value. We look to
no such remtdiea to relieve ti e ci untry from the
difficulties and from thedarger that threatens, and
fur which it is indebted exclusively to the fanati*
cism of the North, the uitraiem of the South, and
the continued and zealous efforts of the leaders of
the Democracy everywhere to make political capi
tal out of the constant agitation of the slavery ques
tion.
A C«n*frvauve Voice front Hartford.
Tbe Hartford (C‘ nn ) Dry Times publishes a pall
signed by the leading citizeua of that place, for a
meeting of all “who desire to maintain tire Cousti
tu’ion and tbe laws, to vindicate tbe honor of tbe
Stat-*, and to rebuke teat fanatical spirit which sym
pathizes with Rsurrecti- :i, murder, and treason.”
The first name of tbe tinners if the venerable Dish
cp Rrovneli, who, pay? the Times, is the Senior
Bishop of the American Epieoopal Church, a gen
tleman of patriotic views, who is not asrociated
with any party organization, but whose love of
country and devotion tc the cau-e of religion, of
order, and of justice, rise above mere party mea
sures; following him is tbe Rev. Dr Wm. Jarvis,
< ne of the most eminent of tbe clergy 5 Geo Beach
Pres iknt of tbe FLceuix Bank ; Thomas Belknap,
President of the State Bank, and ethers, of both
the Democratic and Whig oart.es. YVe wish that
these noble gentlemen of Hartford, es well as the
conservatives every where, were in a majority in the
count:y. But it is true in politics as in religion—
“ Broad is tbe rord that leads to death,
And thousands walk tog-ther there,
But Wisdom shows a nariow path,
Wdb hetetud there a traveler."
[Richmond Dispatch.
Like toe VMpalch,v?e too wish that the conser
vative sentiment of the North was in the ascen
dant, and we tirnk the day is not far distant when
it will be. We do rot believe, that any people so
ioteiegent as the mar =e3 in the free States, can long
be subservient to the whims and caprices of fana
ticism, e=pc-c'a'ly when they run counter to the
plainest dictates of patriotism, to say nothing of
tbe constitutional duty and obligations as good
— ,uv a-ortaeru people. Ana m tills
conviction tha* forces us to the conclusion that con
servatism wilifce predominant throughout the court
try, X.rtb, South,East and West.
SriEKioß Co CRT —lie ensuing term of Rich
mond Superior Court, agreeably to an act passed
by tha last Legislature, will commence on tbe
fourth Monday in January next. Parties interest
ed will take due Dollce.
Episcopal Fair.—The ladies of the Epieoopal
f'uur ;b, Laving completed all th- arrangements for
their proposed Fair, (for cbsritab'e purposes, we
be eve.) tbe rooms at Mar-oaic Hal’, we are in
formed, wiii bo opened this afternoon at three
o’clock for the reception of visitors, and will con
tmaeopen untU farther notite. Ample arrange
ments have bet provided for refreshments et all
hours, an i tbe I&07 member* and friends of the
Church cave been bußid for weeks past in the
preparation of fancy articles and needle work of all
description, premising a varied and brilliant dis
play. Among the prominent features we notice a
large and be&utifui Christmas Tree, and an elegant
worsted /jjf\'han<jr Buggy-cloth of crcchet-werh,
both ot wbicb ate to be rallied. We trust our citi
zens generally will contribute their aid and ec
cooragemant to the praiseworthy objects in view.
Ex-Presicert Fierce—Ex President Pierce
left Bi sten on Thursday .afterne on, accompanied
by Mis. Pierce, cn route f< r New York, where,
early in January, they embark for Nassau, the
Capita! of New Providence, one of the gruup of
B:Lfima Islardc. The Island has been rccommetft!-
t d by the highest modical authority in Boston es
promising, by Its climate end other surrounding
beneCcia. results to the health of Mrs Pierce, which
it is found cannot beer thu uevtrity of a New Eng
land winter.
The Monkey Actors —A performance will be
given tn.a a;tcri.coii at Concert Hall for the especial
accommodation of “Yeung America,” commencing
at three o'clock—doors open one hour previously.
The naturally ludicroas imitative power of the
Monkey ie at ail times laughable, and when directed
end trained in its development, the effect id still
uiore ludicrous. A performance will be given to
night.
“ Union Saving.” —.’dr. Wilson, who succeeds
Daniel Webster in the Ui bed States Senate from
Ha.-, achusetta, speaks with great contempt of the
“ Union Saving Meetings,” as he oalis them, and
points to the election of a Black Republican Mayor
in Boston immediately after the late Union meet
ing. He also boasts that M&seaobusstis will give
the nc-it Republican candidate Rr the Presidency
fifty thourand m&jority. There is too much reason
to fear that these boastings are well founded, and
that the conservatives of Massachusetts are ia a
hopeless minority.
D. S. Mint.— No less than 3 300 of the new cents
w ere coined at the mint, at Philadelphia last month.
The mint receives Spanish coin in exchange for
cents, at rates which afford a large gain the former
Thec.-otP, however, a:e produced in suchimmtnse
quantity, and so little pains are taken to push them
off into the interior, where they are really wanted,
that the channels cf circulation are choked with
them.
Ge-ese Pscksd by Machinery. —The Scientific)
American announces a machine for picking geese,
the result of a number of years’ labor, and one of
the most ingenious pieces of mechanism ever seen.
It not only plucks the feathers, but separates the
long or es from the short ones while passing through
the machine. It will pick forty five geese per hour.
Ci.ay Statue. —The statue of IJ-nry C’ay, by
Hart, was shipped from Havre for New Orleans
on the sth of November, on the ship Fanny Fern.
It wid be intugu.atei with great ceremouy on the
Ulii of next April, the anniversary of Clay's birth.
The site for its erection will be on Canal 6treet, at
the intersection cf Royal and St. Charles, New

New Book for Schools, Colleges, Ac.
The Word-Work, and Analytical Grammar and
Dictionary; a new and improved system oi
Etymology and Eugiieh Grammar, renc-niug a
classic turn to the English Language, bor the
use cf Schools, Academies and Colleges, and as a
Book of Reference to each rank and position ot
society Together with a system of Penmanship,
Book-Keeping and Arithmetic Rules, with Ex
amples for the Student, Teacher, and Practical
Business man. By E. V. Dams, Principal of
Business School, Spartanburg District, South
Carolina Philadelphia : J. B. Lippincott &
Co. 1859.
The author of this volume, Mr. E. F. Davis, is
Principal of the Business School 'id Spartanburg
District, South Carolina —an institution which
enjoys a deservedly high reputation. He has made
the subject of education in our schools a study for
several years ; and he brings to the accomplish
ment of his present task, ripe scholarship, careful
observation and experience. A glance at the
volume before us, containing 12C octavo pages,
convinces us that ths amount of labor bestowed
upon it must have been very great; and judging
from the favorable notices already made upon it
we do not hesitate to say that the labor baa been
well and faithfully performed,
He says in his Preface : "This complex
as ita title indicates, contains a system for analyzing
words, an Analytical Grammar and Dictionary,
together with a plain, comprehensible, and practical
system of Book-Keeping, with drafts, checks, notes)
fee., fee., and a system of Arithmetical Rules and
Examples, rendered j lain and easy by a construc
tive process" From this it will be seen that the
volume embraces the branches usually found in
three or four separate text books. The plan of
including them all iu one is g red, for convenience
and facility of reference. The only objection is, it
makes the work too costly to be generally adopted
In our schools. Os ita fitness to adorn our libraries,
from Its eminently useful and instructive character,
there cau be no question.
Os the metkod pursued by Mr. Davis in the sev
eral branches, we do not design to speak at length,
leaving it for the reader to see for himself. We
must be permitted to say, however, that the Gram
mar appears to us to be thorough and complete; and
its teaching by the analytical process, such as
must greatly assist the learner to acquire an accu
rate knowledge of the language, and its proper
construction. The Dictionary, by analysis a.so, is
likewise highly beneficial to the student—giving
the roots of words, and the clear and acknowledged
meaning of each. A short treatise on Penmanship
follows, with form of notes, drafts, fee. ; a form of
Book-keeping which recommends itself by its
simplicity and perspicacity; and the volume ending
by a “Practical Arithmetic, ’’ which, without going
deeply into the science, gives the essential elements
necessary to every one who would fit himself for
the ord nary business cf life. Iu short the “Word-
Work" of Mr. Davis is a mu/tum m panto—con
taining au amount of usbfu! information which
recommends it to the attention ot Teachers, Stu
dents, and ail who have the interests of Education
at heart. The author, tco, deserves hearty en
oou .agement and substantial aid for Lis unwearied
lab.rs, and we hope he may receive it from an
eni ghteued public.
The Business School of which Mr. Day ;s is Prin
cipal, will be resumed on the 11th of January next.

Colt's Fowling Piece. —Porter’s Spirit records
a new triumph for Cel. Colt, the great ’‘revolver
and rifleman,” who has lately ctiered sportsmen
and huntsrs a revolving fowling piece, which has
been approved by the Audubon Club cf Chicago.
The Spirit Bays :
We have advocated his rides in Tsxis, his re
volvers in Nicaragua, his pocket c> mpanione
throughout the South, as our editorial labors or
avocations have been varro. sly transposed from
the white settlements to the borders ; and now we
are again in a position to communicate diree ly wi b
thousands of our old spurting friends, v he we know
will be pleased to learn that the inventive genius of
the Colonel has beeu directed especially to their
wants and that bis manufacturers are now ready
to famish them with the very article they need in
the shape of Colt’s Revolving Shut gun. it is a
shot-gun upon the revolving principle. Upon a late
trial of this valuable gun at a distance ff thirty
yards, it put 175 pell ts in a circle of 12 inches
diameter, penetrating 75 eheets of ordinary brown
paper; the shot used being No. G shot; J* ounces
and two drams of powder to each charge. The gun
is a live shooter, and is iiniehed in fine s‘}ls. ihe
cartridges are manufactured to suit the gun, and
are impervious to the effects of water or dampness.
It is well worthy the attention of our sportsmen,
and if brought into geueral use. will create quite a
revolution among fowling pieces.
Touching Glasses in Drinking—A writer in
the Historical Magazine for November, thus at
tempts to explain the origin of the habit of touching
glasses in drinking :
One branch of my ancestry was Scotch, and de
voted adherents to Charles Stuart. While a boy
my father possessed a h°avy cut-and-thrust basket
hilled sword, which one of the Richardson family,
my father’s maternal ancestor, had used at Cullo
den. From him this tradition descended to the
family as to touching glasses iu drinking.
When, after the failure of the expedition of tbe
so-ca led Pretender, Piince Charles, in 1715, that
Prince crossed to France, hii supporters were be
set with spies on every hand, and it frequently
happened that they were placed in situations when
they could not with safety refuse to respond to the
common toast —"The health of the King.” It was
understood between the taithfu!, that when the
“King was drank, it was “the king o’er the water,”
and to express this, symbolically, one glass was
then passed over another. This, in time, was
modified to the silent touching of the glasses. In
the lower part of South Carolina and in Virginia,
generally settled with cavaliers, the habit naa pre
vailed and spread wherever their descendants have
gone in the South and West. It ia the habit of
men to day, in drinking, to touch glasses invaiia
bly—but I have never known the cutom explained
by any one else. You may rely upon this being its
truo exposition.
A cotemporary says he knows a youth, who,
every time he wishes to get a glimpse at his sweet
heart, has to “hol er fire” under her window. In
the alarm of the moment she plunges her head ont
of the window, and exclaims—
“Where?’’
He poeticaiiy slaps himself on the bosom, and
exclaims—
“ Here, my Haugelina!”

At a meeting of the Students cf the Medical Col
lege of Georgia, the fol'owing preamble and resolu
tions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We understand that southern students,
now attending Lectures in the Medical College: of
Philadelphia, are repeatedly insulted by taunts,
indignities and offensive jeers of northern people;
and even placards of insulting Import, meeting
them at every step ; and whereas, from the very
puipita emanate anathemas against the South and
her peculiar institutions; and whereas medical
institutions of the South, offer advantages to
Southern students superior to any of theKcrtb;
and whereas, we condemn and pity any people
who violate the courtesy acd kind coßsßieiatwn
due inoffensive follow citizens from a distant part
of a common country, or even if not violating, are
unable to quell the notions < f insidious fanatics.—
Resolved, That we as a Medical Class sympathize
with acd cheerfully offer to onr fellows and broth
ers, a native asylum from such oontempt.
Resolved, That we cordially invite them to finish
tlieir course of lectures in the Med>ca! College of
Georgia—confident that the Faculty will kindly
receive them, will recognize, and ex h inge their
tickets, extending to them the privileges of their
regular matriculants.
Resolved, That these proceedings be published in
the Southern Medical 4* Surgical Journal, and in
the Augusta papers, and a copy forwarded to one
or more Southern students now in Philadelphia.

“At no period in the history of Agriculture has a
deeper interest been felt in regard to its practical
improvement than exists ac present. It can be
said, with truth, that, in the main, it is owing to
the well-directed efforts of Agricultural Journals.
In the van of these Journals we find the Cultiva

bored more strenuously than it has, and we are
pleased to sea tha’ its labors have been so well ap

Hon J. S. Clemens, formerly United States Sen

“A number of country girls, who i. d ;> •. en to a

laugh at them as heartily as auy one, but I do not

making myself ridiculous by getting into a passion
has preserved me several times from retorting a
witticism by a taunt. Besides, when I sit down
and think over it calmly, lam fores dto confess
that it is nothing more than a fair retaliation for the
blustering tbrents in which our people are so prone
to indulge. We talk about whipping the North
with as much eelf-complaoer.cy as if her whole
population would net more than suffice for a break

yet John Brown, aided by seventeen white men
and seven or eight free negroes, seized a national
Aimory in a thickly populated portion of a Southern
S’ate, and was only captured by the ai l cf United

A Free School on a Grand Scale. —The New
York correspondent of the Boston Peat gives ti e
following account of a public school in the metro
politan city :
‘•The public school in Twelfth street, near Fifth
avenue, partakes ot the characteristics of its locality
and stylish surroundings. Its teachers are iiteral
yof the eiect; being uu-urparsed B 3 regards their
capabilities and accomplishment?. Tho scholars,
ell girls, are for the most part, bright, blooming mid
beautiful in person, and, generally are ir ;oet daintily
dieseed, and affect to te very distingue in man
ners. A fashionable air pervades the parlor like
school rooms, and everything savor* ot style and
ton Within doors, and during school house, this is
a model senoo! and a marvel ot good management;
but there are one or two drawbacks to its perfec
tion, which may as well be aired before it shall be
too late. A rivalry seems to possess the minds of
these miniature women in regard to their outward
adornment, and to such an extent is it earned, that
parents aro beginning to find that they cannot
afford to send their daughters to this free school—
because, forsooth, it costs too much to dress and
hoop them. Auy one who will spend the morning
hour, from eight to nine, neai the mental Mecca of
these five hundred damsels, will be a convert to the
views I am venlillating. The natural consequence
of ali this is that fond fathers and soothers are de
terred from availing themselves of free educational
privileges for their children on account of tho ex
travagance in drees, and the vaunting vanity dis
played by the scholars who now attend the Twelfth
street publio school. Further than this, the conver
sation, as well as thoughts, of the pupils converge
! to the same focus, leaving it to be safely inferred
that whatever may be their text books, their studies
i are chiefly esthetic. Nor is this all. The rivalry
between the scholars in doors is matched by an
outside rivalry, equal in degree, between boys of
every age, who await at the gates the school's dis
missal, of afternoons; and whose felicity it is to
wait upon these pretty girls, with pretty dresses, to
their respective homes or elsewhere. Incipient
beaux and belles, unflidged fops and flirts, dally
pair off together, take easy lessons of love, anti
part to play the same game over on the morrow.—
This may be all right and proper, but I mistake if
the theory of common school education is correctly
conceived and carried into practice by so palpa
ble a nursery of luxury and vauity as I have here
described.”
Steam Railway Car. —A novel car has been
made for one of the street railroads in Chicago, 111.
The car has eight wheels, and appears externally
like a passenger car, but is really a locomotive and
passenger carriage combined. The machinery,
which consists of a flue boiler and two small chim
neys, is enclosed at one end of the car. The smail
cylinders are suspended under the car horizontally
outside of the wheels. The pa eenger part will seat
fifty persons, and it is designed to attach another
car when required. The machine cost four thou
sand dollars, and is to run four miles an hour.

(diamonds,) and upon raised (carved) initiate of the

T lie Burning Mine*
Located in what is baewa as tha 1 jugular vain ’
of the famous Broad Mountain, near the village cf
Loui Castle, ia Schuyiuill County, Pa , is the Burn
ing Mine, one cf the greatest, curiosities in the
anthracite co3l region. Thm singular mine was
first ignited in the winter of 1838, has been burning
ever since, aad bids fair to continue burning as
long as toe fires iu that pit which is bottomless.
The first lighting of this tire was purely accidental.
One of the watchmen placed a light near a prop,
which caught fire, and soon ali tbe wood woik was
in flames. From the wood the fire was communi
cated to the coal, and since that time A has been
inceeeant'-y burning, consuming, in the score and
more of years, no one knows how many thousands
of tons of anthracite,
A vein underneath that which ia burning is now
worked. Several times the fire has been communi
cated to this vein, but itkas always been extinguish
ed by flooding the mine with water, and the miners
work without any difficulty or apparent fear. The
editor ot the Pottsville Mining Record, who recent
ly visited the miue, remarks that he “could not but
think that the digging of coal six hundred feet be
low the earth's suriaee, with a fire of twenty years’
standing, covering acres of ground above their
heads, was not the most agreeable occupation in
the world. The scenery around this mining village
is strikingly grand and beautiful; wherever tbe eye
may turo, the smoke of the steam engines may be
seen ascending, while their deep pulsations break
the stillness of the giant mountains, A hundred
little brooks cud rivulets make music in the deep
gorges and over the shining pebbles. Immenee
structures built of timber and blackened by the
coal dust, tell of the enterprise of tbe operators,
while the dusky countenances of the toil-worn
miners bear witness of their industry.”
The appearance and characteristics of the moun
tain and the mine are thus graphically desoribed :
“ Leaving tbe high road, wh’ch passes through
the village, we wended our way up along the moun
tain gorge to the burning mine. A well worn path
indicated tbe locality of the curiosity we were in
search of, and following this we soon came within
range of the sickening odorß which rise from the
hidden fire. After climbing with some difficulty
from the gorge to the summit of the mountain spur,
beneath which the devouring element rages, we
came to the direct evidences of the magnitude of
this subterranean fire. Immense holes were formed
ju the mountain, funnel-shaped, and about twenty
feet in depth, where the surface of the earth had
caved in upon the cavity formed by the fire. These
extend in a line from the entrance to the mine, a
distance of eeveral hundred yards, and present a
most singular appearance. Around them the trees
are killed by the vapors which continually arise in
the form of steam from this hidden laboratory. The
rocks and pebbles are covered with a sulphurous
coating of a yellowish red hue. The earth over the
mine is loose and porous, being apparently disinte
grated by the continual action of the hot air and
steam which arises from the tire below, and by
thrusting a stick into the vapor wilt at once burst
out.
“We cannot describe the sickening odor of this
vapor. It is sulphurous, and there is a damp, sti
fling effluvia about it, whioh is very nauseating.
The steam which riee3 through the earth is only
moderately warm, owing to the great depth of the
lire. We lingered around the external evidences
of this wonderful subterranean combustion until
we were sLkened by its breath, and the odor of
it hung about us for hours after we had reaohed a
purer atmosphere.”
Macon & Western Railroad. —We are in
debted to Isaac Scott, Esq., President of the Macon
&. Western Railroad, for a copy of bis Fourteenth
Annus! Report to the Company, just published—
the fiscal year closing the last day of November.
It makes the extraordinary exhibit of a Railroad
Company out of debt—not owing a dollar, either of
floating or funded indebtedness, and with a cash
balauce in the Treasury of $130,511 94. Inclosing
up a summary of the results of the twelve years
of his administration, the President says : “During
this whole pesiod, the credit of the Company has
always been maintained. More than the entire
capital has been paid back to the stockholders in
dividends, and now, at the close of this year, it
stands unencumbered by either floating or funded
debt, and worth fuliy lie cost to the owners.’’—
• During this time upwards of three and a half mil
j lions have been collected and disbursed under this
■ functionary, with a Ices cf lees than one-balf of one
! per ctnf, and a certainty of the ultimate reclama-
I tion of the larger part of this email deficit. Such
! illustrations of judgment, economy, integrity and
j fidelity in Railroad management, are beyond all
praise. They ere no less an honor to the State aud
tj the busioecs community, than to the officers of
the Company themselves.
From the Report of tire Superintendent, Alfred
L. Tyler, we see that the Road reoeipte for the past
we e: From Passengers $231,730 95; Freights
1-231,97315: Mails $10,2*11.00. Total $373,905 So.
The expenses for the same period were 44 per cent,
on tfieae earnings, leaving a ueit balance of $209,-
i 784 22. The increase in the business of the Road
j over last year, amounts to $48,673.15. The opera
, tions for the year were conducted without accident,
| save the burning of some cotton on freight. The
Report is vol»*« ! nous, and exceedingly minute and

Quicksands on Staten Island —Part of the
Railroad Track Sinking.— Some eingu’ar dis
coveries which have been made in building the
S'aten Island railroad are mentioned by the Rich
mond County Gez tte, ol December 11. “Near the
eastern ttrmuus of the road it traverses a morass.
This was treated as such places usually are by rail
way engineers ; earth was carted from a distance
and laid on the track until, to ail appearance, it was
Lard and solid. To the surprise ot the engineers, in
a tew days this solid track had sank eome inches
below the adjacent laud. More earth was piled on
tt aud trodden down ; but it sank as before. Again
earth was empied on the line, with the same result.
In a word, tire railway people Lave for some time
bean busily engaged in carting earth to the spot,
with no m re effect than if they had tried te fill the
(o- nu. The more *s is a quicksand, which swallows
all the earth that is thrown into it. The discovery
is not without precedent. On the line of railway
between Liverpool and Loudon similar quicksands
oc cur. When the road was first built the contrac
tors were thunder-struck et the steady subsidence
of the track, upon wuich they bad vainly dumped
thousand of cartloads of earth. With dogged per
severance, however, they went on cartiug earth to
the s ( -o‘, and after a time the ground ceased to
sink, ’iiey had found bottom—at a depth, it is
sad, of something less than n mile. In other parts
cf England—in Lincolnshire, we believe, and’also
in parts of the West—similar quick;auds are
traversed by railways on wid3 platforms, which act
like sno vf shoes, and keep the sleepers afloat on the
urfaoe by their great breadth The only safe
plan is to go on filling in the quicksand with earth
untd bottom is reached.
We hear that the spot to which wo refer is so
’Pongy in its aaloro that while the track sinks a
few inches daily, eome meadows adjacent have
been ru'sed several feet. To what extend this
phenomenon may complicate the difficulty the
engineers must deoiae.
We believe that nearly the whole eastern elope
of the Island, from the pilltides to the sea, rests ou
asi i'ting baiis. It th sbe the fact, the consequen
ces may herea ! ter prove serious to heavy building.
Vegetable Tallow.— The Agricultural Bureau
o. the Patent Office has received specimens of
vegetable fallow, known to botanists as Myriosica
sebifera. It comes from a nut about the siae of a
nutmeg, ull of meat, which, being melted, becomes
a yellowish tallow, excellent for caodies. The plant
is a native of Central and South America, and na
turally attains a height of ten or twelve feet; it
carries herbaceous colored flowers from July till
September, and it makes so profuse a seoretion of
oily matter, that this may be readily obtained from
U, m the form of fat, by immersing it in boiling
water. B. L. Clarke. E q., United States Minister
at Guatema’a, writes that he has no doubt that this
article might be ec lected and exported at conside
rable profit. It gt ws is immense quantities in the
Eoutaern departments and iu Yerapaz, It is sus
ceptible of such high purification as to resemble the
finest, sperm, is solid and quite as transparent. A
sample of this production, in the nut and in the
tallow, is now among the numerous collections of
too Patent Office. The cultivation of it from the
seed will be tried at the Horticultural Garden.

More Silver Mines. —We are informed through
the New York Courier and Enquirer, by letters
from unquestionable sources in Sau Francisco, that
large quantities of very rich silver ore have begun
to come in from the eastern slope of the Sierra,
where it abounds, apparently, in inexhaustible
quantities Ihe ore ia described as of far superior
i ichuess to any ever obtained from Mexico or Peru
and improving in quality aa it is dug from a greater
oeplh, A specimen of ore shows that the mines
are very finely granulated and intermingled with
iron pyrites. The silver te not visible to the eye
but, yet, as h well known, that is no argument
against its abundance. &11 lead ore of that kind
(Galena, or eulphuret cf lead,) contains silver; end
often in considerable proportions. This, from the
accounts received, is richer than any other known.
Ihe ore is said to abound on the surface, oroppinv
out m rocks over 3 considerable extent of country
Ike place is only three or four days’journey east
ward from San Francisco, at Washoe; and a great
excitement is expected to be the result of the dis
covery.
