Democrat to Consistency.
Hoe. John S. Millson, who was taken upas the j
Democratic cundidate for the Speakership after j
the withdrawal of Mr. Bocock, was in Congress in
* 354, and was the only member from Virginia who
voted against the Kansas-Nebraska bill. The De
mocracy took him up as a mere party trick. They
thought that the anti-Lccompton Democrats would ..
vote for him in a body because of his difference
with his party oa tins question, and that they
could thus secure enough Democratic votes for
taeir candidate to throw the responsibility of elec
ting or defeating him on the “South Americans.”
But the refractory Douglas Democracy would not
louch the bait; Millson fell short of Bocock in
Democratic votes; and though a majority of the
Southern Opposition voted for him, he lacked 15
or 18 votes ol an election—had they all roted for
him, he would still have lacked 6 or 8.
The Southern Democracy, it will be borne in
mind, excuse themselves for not voting for and
easily electing Gilmer, on the ground of his un
soundness on the Kansas question. Yet they vote
for Millson, who also opposed their Kansas policy ! j
They can elect Gilmer whenever they choose, aiid !
therefore, in voting for him, they would but com- j
promise their dislike to an Anti-Lecompton politi- l
cian with a view to defeat a Black Republican ; ‘■
but they cannot elect Millson with the aid eveu of j
the entire South American vote, and therefore
their support of him is a gratuitous compliment to
a man who co-operated with those Southern Op- i
positionists whom the Democracy have so perais- :
tentiy and fiercely denounced as traitors to their
section !—Columbus Enquirer.
The developments of each day in the Ilouse I
show that the Democracy do not desire an organi- :
zaiion, until they shall tbiuk they have made all
tha political capital they cau. If this was not !
their object, and they Lad really desired to organ
ise, they would have elected Mr. Gilmer without
hesitation; for he i3 known to be as sound, on all
questions involving the right3 of the South, as any
Democrat in the House. It is passing strange to
one who is not familiar with Democratic tactics, !
how exceedingly fastidious Southern Democrats
become about Southern Rights whenever any man
ie suggested who does not belong to the Democra
cy. But only let him affiliate with that immaculate
crowd, and he may openly advocate Squatter Sov
ereignty, or any other equally obnoxious doctrine,
and ho is a marvelously proper man—worthy of
Southern support for any position! Therefore
Gilmer, who is opposed to the corrupt party, “is
unsound,” while Millson, who entertains the same
views of the Kansas swindle, is worthy of southern
support! Great is Democracy!
The SrEAKEEsaiP. —The Columbus Enquirer
says : The Democracy have never yet, on a single
balloting in Congress, cast votes enough for any
candidate of theirs for Speaker to enable the entire
Southern Opposition, supporting him in a body, to
eloct him or run him ahead of Sherman. But the
Southern Opposition, on at least three several oc
casions, have commanded votes enough for two of
their little party (Gilmer and Bolder) to enable
the Democracy to elect them easily if they had
been so inclined. These two simple facts are suf
ficient to dissipate all the Democratic sophistry
about the responsibility of the Southern Ameri
cans for the failure to organize the House. The
Southern Opposition have never had a chance to
elect anybody but Sherman, and that they refused
to do, and will refuse to the end of the chapter;
while the Democracy have had several opportuni
ties to elect a Southern slaveholding Speaker, and
ihat they refuse to do, though they know the only
alternative is the election of a Black Republican.
That is the statement of the case “in a nut shell.”

The New Treaty. —The Mobile Register, whose
editor was the Minister Mexico previous to Mr.
McLaue’s appointment, expresses the following
opinion of the new treaty :
“ The ra*ideation of the treaty at this stage of
Mexican atlairs and by a Government which has
just lost a battle, which is reduced to a single city,
threatened every moment with capture; a govern
ment which seems in the very act of sharing the fate
of a long list of ephemeral* predecessors, affords
but little promise of practical utility.”
Direct Importation*. —A meeting of merchants
■was held in Charleston on Saturday night last, for
the purpose of interchanging views on the policy
of establishing a coffee market in-that city. The
Mercury says :—‘‘The meeting, though unorgan
ized, was successful in securing assurances from
different firms of participation in the scheme.
One firm will take a fourth part of any cargo im
ported direct from Rio, and another will despatch
■cl suitable vessel. These offers were from two of
our most) reliable and extensive firms. The gentle
men attendant upon the meeting wero saDguine of
success. A future conference will be held for the
perfection of details.”
The Pike’s Peak Express arrived at Fort Leav
enworth on the 30th Dec., bringing SIO,OOO in gold

therefrom. g—,
How to Restore Letters Damaged by Water.—
Alfred Smee has forwarded to the London Times
a recipe for tho recovery of writing obliterated by
the action of sea water. The letter so damaged
should be lightly once brushed over with diluted
fkuriatic acid, the strength a3 sold as such at all
chemists’ shop3. As soon as the paper is thorough
ly damped it must be again brushed over with a
saturated solution of yellow ferruginate of potash,
when immediately the writing -appears in a Prus
sian blue. In tbi3 latter operation plenty of the
Squid should be employed, and care must be taken
that the brush be not used so roughly as to tear
the surface of the paper. The letter should then
bs washed in a basin of clean water and dried first
between the folds of blotting paper, and subse
quently by holding it before the fire, when the
letter is fit fur the counting house. If the letter
should be of much permanent value, he recom
mends it to be carefully sized with a solution of
isinglass before being filed ; but if the paper has
been much rotted, the operation requires care, and
should not be done until a notorial copy, or pho
tograph, has been taken. Where the operation ia
to be conducted by those having somo knowledge
of chemistry a little of the solution of the red fer*
mginaie of potash may be added to the yellow, as
in some cases it would render tho color more com
plex.
Much has been written about woman’s love, but

Bacs Ah T r> Froxt.—An Irish news-carrier, (says
the Builder) who sometimes courts the Muses, has
given his idea of the church-building taste of the
people of America in the following lines, which
contain mere truth than poetry :
“ They puts up a front to the street,
Like ould Westminster Abbev;
Bot then ihev thinks to ehatc the Lord,
And builds the beck part shajby,”

“Tt finance” Meeting.—A meeting of citizens
was called in Savannah on Saturday night last,
aud a “Vigilance Committee” of twenty-five ap
pointed, “to detect and expose such persons as
may be suspected of entertaining or uttering sen
timents hostile to slavery,” and to “use the most
expedient means to secure their instant removal.”
And in instances of the commission of overt arts,
or infringements of the laws regulating intercourse
with slaves, to use every exertion to bring the i
offenders to justice, and us>istin their prosecution
before the Courts of tho country. The following,
among other resolutions, were passed unanimous
ly:
IV. Resolved, That looking forward to a time
when all the ties which now connect us with the
■ Northern States of this confederacy may be sev -
ered, and considering that prudence as well as a
proper regard for the interests of our own section
demand that all our domestic resources should be
fostered and developed, we earnestly recommend,
1st —Direct Foreign Trtule.
2nd—The Patronage of Southern Commerce and :
Manufactures.
3d—Education in Southern Sehools and Col
leges.
4th —Fatronage to Southern Authors and Edi
tors.
sth—The employment of Southern Teachers,
aud the use of Southern School Books.
tlth—Non-intercourse with all cities aud sections !
at the North inimical to slavery and Southern in- ,
| stitutions.
And to secure respect to these recommendations
we individually and collectively pledge ourselves
| in all cases, to prefer in our business, or for our
I use, the natural and artificial productions of the
j South to all others and goods of foreign origiu
which have been imported directly into u Southern
port, to those of the same character, imported
through a Northern port.
V. Resolved, That we earnestly request of the
various transportation lines of this and the adja
-1 cent States, that they will so modify their rates of
| freight that the iron, coal, slate, granite, lime and
other mineral productions of onr own and tho
| adjoining States, may be brought to this market
at prices which will enable them to compete with
1 similar articles of Northern production.
VI. Resolved, That we recommend to our Legis- j
ture,
1st —To establish a normal school, at which
teachers may be trained, who shall in all cases be
preferred as*instructors in the free schools of this
State.
2d— To require that all the books used in the free
| schools of this State shall be the productions of j
Southern authors and be printed on Southern pa- \
per by Southern presses.
VII. Resolved, That we recommend to those of
our citizens, who have habitually during their an- ;
nual visits to the North, and at other times pur- j
chased their supplies of dry goods, groceries,
hardware and other articles’from Norther Mer
chants, hereafter to extend their patronage in
: these respects to the dealers in such commodities,
j who are part of our own people—share in the de
fence of our institutions—and contribute to our
prosperity.
Tho meeting was well attended, and was ad
dressed by several gentlemen, who urged the irn
j portance of putting gentlemen of stauding and
i respectability upon the committee.
Similar meetings were held in Camdeu and
Sumter counties last week, and vigilance commit
tees appointed.
When Ladies Should be Looked at.— A writer
in the Atlantic Monthly thus enlightens the belles
of the street concerning the inalienable rights of
meu to look at tbeir pretty faces:
There are some very pretty, but unhappily very
i ill-bred women, who don’t understand the laws of
the road with regard to handsome faces. Nature
and custom would no doubt agree in conceding to
all males the right of at least two distinct looks at
every comely female countenance,Without any in
fraction of the rules of courtesy or the sentiment
of respect. The first look is necessary to define
tbe person of the individual one meets, so as to
avoid her in passing. Any unusual attraction dis
covered in a first glance is sufficient apology for a
second—not a prolonged and impertinent stare,
but an appreciating homage of the eye3, such as a
stranger may inoffensively yield to a passing im
age. It is ’astonishing how morbidly sensitive
some vulgar beauties are to tbe slightest demon
stration of this kind. When a tady walks the
streets she leaves her virtuous indiguation coun
tenance at home; she knows well enough that the
street is a picture gallery, where pretty faces
framed in pretty bonnets are meant to be seen,
and everybody has a right to see them.

The Constitutionalist and Hon= Thes.
Hardeman.
Mr. Editor :—The truth, when told, strangely
affects the Democratic press. It throws all the
Democratic editors into political and
why? Because the touchstone of that beautiful
principle rarely ever comes in contact with their
conscience. They avoid if, because they hate the
truth. The truth unfolds to view acts and sayings
of theirs, and their party lenders, of the deepest
and darkest corruption. 1 have been led to thus
premise, from an editorial comment in the Augus
ta Constitutionalist, on Mr. Hardeman’s recent
letter to the-editor of the Georgia Citizen.
Have you read that comment on Mr. llarde- |
man’s letter? In the first place, I say to the Con- j
stitutionalist, that Mr. Hardeman’s recent letter is j
based upon the truth of assertions that “will and i
does have weight with any man familiar with the |
action of the House and of tho different parties j
into which it is divided.” The Constitutionalist
denies the truth of a fact that Mr. Hardeman as- .
sorted in his letter, to wit: that the anti-Lecorup
ton Democrats, who have been throwing away
their votes, will vote for Sherman, if the Southern
Americans go to Bocock, rnther than elect an
Administration Democrat. So far as the truth of
Hardeman’s statement is concerned, I have this to
say to the Constitutionalist: Hardeman’s state
ment is true; the people of Macon, where he
lives, know’ it to be true ; the people ot the 3d Dis- j
trict will believe it true ; Hardeman asserts the I
fact. It is the duty of the Constiutioualist to dis- !
prove it bv evidence and facts, and not by a bare
denial, llow presumptuous! how puffed up
is the editor of the Constitutionalist! His inflated
imagination has magnified his parts into an intel
lectual Hercules.
Again, the Constitutionalist denies two other
important facts mentioned in Mr. Hardeman’s let
ter. The first of these two facts denied by the
Constitutionalist is, that the Southern Americans
did not, through Mr. Ethridge, of Tennessee,
make a proposition to Democrats in the House, to
this effect: that they (the Americans) would go
for Bocock, whenever they could get enough
votes, with theirs, to elect hun, provided they (the
Democrats) would agree to come to one of their
party, (Americans.) whenever they could swell his
vote, so that, w ith the Democrats, he could be
elected. The Constitutionalist denies the fact.—-
Well, I say it is true and, unlike the Constitu
tionalist, I will give the proof .br my assertion. If
he will look into the Globe, he will there find the
proposition reported as made by Etheridge, and
stated by Mr. Hardeman.
In the next place, he says it is not true that the
Democrats have denounced Mr. Sherman, as Mr.
Hardeman represents. At that denial of the Con
stitutionalist, lam not surprised—for it onlv
shows the sympathy felt for the Black Republl- j
can candidate, for Speaker. For shame! Harde- I
man, for shame! for saying a Democratic speaker
denounced .Sherman on the floor of the House —
for there is no diflerence between a Black Repub
enn and a Douglas Democrat. The Constitutional
ist says it can disprove Mr. Hardeman’s assertions,
from tbe record. The Constitutionalist can do no
such thing; and it knew it could not disprove Mr.
Hardeman’s assertions, from the record, at the
time it penned the assertion. The proof, the
proof, from the record ! I defy the Constitutional
ist to prove Hardeman's assertion false, from the 1
record.
The Constitutionalist lias said ii could disprove
Mr. Hardeman’s statemets, in his letter to the Edi
tor of the Georgia Citizen. Let it do it, or forever
stand self-contradicted and condemned for mis
representation, I will tell the Constitutionalist
that Mr. Hardeman is not compelled to resort to
anything but the truth, to defend his conduct at
Washington. The Constitutionalist dare not pub
lish Gilmer’s amendment to Clark’s resolution.
It dare not publish Nelson’s speech in support of
Gilmer’s amendment. What is Mr. Giluier’s
amendment? It is the pledge drawn up and sign
ed, in lt>so, by Henry Clay and his associates,
binding themselves not to support any man “for
President, Vice-President, or Senator, or Repre
sentative in Congress, or as a member of a State
Legislature, of whatever party, who is not known
to be opposed to the disturbance of the settlement
of 1850, and to the renewal, in any form, of agita
tion upon the subject of slavery, hereafter.”
Among the 44 names signed to that pledge, (the
Gilmer amendment,) is to be found Henry Clay,
Alex. H. Stephens, Howell Cobb, Robert Toombs,
Ac. See Appendix to Congressional Globe, Vol.
29, page 833. It can be seen and read by all, if
they will look at tbG book as named, and turn to
the page as pointed out.
Hardeman is right, when he charges on the
Democratic party a disposition tojkeep up agitation
on the subject of slavery. The Gtimer amendment
is against agitation on ihe subject of slavery, in
any form. The Constitutionalist, being against
the Gilmer amendment, must be in favor of agita
ting the question of slavery, both in and out of
Congress. The Constitutionalist professes to be
against the agitation of the slavery question, yet
denounces Mr. Gilmer’s amendment, that would,
if adopted, forever prevent the further agitation
j of the question of slavery, in or out of Congress.
What hypocricy!
To the “Georgia Telegraph” I have n few words
to say. No doubt Mr. Hardeman’s letter is “an
! unfortunate letter” for office seekers and political
varupyres. Mr. Ilatdeman is at least the equal, if
not the intellectual superior, of the Editor of the
Telegraph. Mr. Hardeman is well posted in telling
i the truth, that is certain. lie is, 1 confess, not vet
well posted in misrepresentation and political dis
simulation. If he will read and be instructed by_
■*~the Telegraph, he too can betray his constituents,
as Judas did his master. Low ndes.
llow Sermons are Made. —There arc probable
ten thousand persons in these United States whose
chief occupation is that of sermon making. At
i the period of the week for going forth to this bat
tle comes, the minister begins to feel like a man
j awaitiug a surgical operation; come to it be must,
however his reluctance may cause a temporary
delay. He enters his study, takes up bis Bible,
I turn’s over its pages, and reads out text here and
j another there, but all are alike sealed up or un
i suited either to his mood or to his idea of lps
peoples’ ueed, and hence ho rises and takes two or
three rounds in his study—then lie stands, and
looks out of the window and feels anew the at
traction of this-great book of nature, walks out,
looks at the leaves, the flowers, the meadows, the
cattle, the clouds, and with unconcentrated
thought gazes into the boundless expanse.
But still those two sermons for next Sabbath,
1 where are they to come from? He goes back to
his house, plays a little with the children, talks a
moment with bis wife, fumbles the newspaper,
looking here p.nd thereon its columns with his
eyes while his mind is wandering to tbe euds of
the earth in searth for those two next Sabbath
sermons which are still non est, but calling louder
and louder for a place among the actual aud ex
perimental. He hums ft tune, drums with his
fingers, and does a variety of unconscious things,
so absorbed is the intricate machinery of his mind
iu the vain endeavor tq work out the problem.
After these various turns, like the gyrations of a
hawk before he pounces on his prey, the minister
| rushes back to his study seizes his Bible convul
sively, as if to force it to yield, up a text, and to
t mqjte sure of no failure this time, he falls foul of
; the first that ccme? tp hand as a sort of Hobson’s
| choice, and at it he goes with might and main.—

A Chapter for Young Tlercli&jjts-
Tbe commercial statistics of this country exhibit
an awful disproportion between the number of
successful and unsuccessful merchants, or those
who succeed and those who fail in business. We
do not remember the aggregate; but it is enough
to startle the voting adventurer, and very much
increase his anxiety and apprehension for his own
fate.
Ho would do well before spreading his sails to
the breeze, to inquire how it ia that the sea of com
merce is strewn with wrecks, and that sd few in
deed safely survive the storms which threaten all
who trust their fortunes to it. Few, however,
pause to reflect upon the shore before launching
their barks on the treacherous wave. Forgetting
the disasters of the sea, and with minds bent oulv
upon the examples of brilliant success of some who j
have gone before them, tlrnv push off confident and I
self-reliant, scorning the advice of old and experi
enced mariners, looking ahead with eager hopes I
and anticipations, and crowding sale witn impatient !
ardor. Bye and bye, a storm tears the sales to j
shreds and leaves the bark to the helpless merev of ‘
the waves. Few ever reach the shore—few are j
ever refitted for another vovage. The great rua- I
jority are hopelessly lost, ft requires more than j
ordinary energy and sagacity—more than ordinary i
strength of hope- to gather up the remnants of a
wrecked fortune aud prepare resolutely for anew 1
and successful adventure. There are’ instances, i
but they are rare.
Drooping metaphor of ship and sea, and coming !
down to plain sailing on land-let U3 ask what is I
the chief cause of commercial failures? It is we ,
believe, extravagant living and pretensions. £ail- i
ures are often owing to an overdone business, *
over-credit and over-trading; but with younger i
merchants, much oftner to expensive living—to j
expensive houses, expensive tables and expensive
dressing. It is the remark of a very sensible and j
a very successful merchant, that any man of ordi
narv capacity, who has a small capital, attends to 1
his business and lives economically, can, not only j
make a living, but lay up money. We believe the :
remark strictly true. On the other hand, it may
be said with equal truth, that no busiucss, howev- |
| er goud, will support an extravagant man who
does not attend to it. To suppose a pursuit in
life that flourishes without attention, without la- j
bor, without care, without looking after in some
way or other, is to suppose au absurdity. It j
would be against common sense and against the
divine law. And to suppose a business that can ,
long continue successfully while money is drawn
from it faster than it is received by it, 13 also ab
surd. It is idle for any young adventurer to sup-
Sose that his enterprize will prosper unless he
evotes his energies and hia talents faithfully to
j it; and it is equally idle for him to suppose it’ can
j long survive, if he spends money more rapidly
1 than he makes it.
The young merchant having satisfied himself j
that he is fit for business, has the means for it,
aud that there is an opening, should next deter
mine that iu no eveut will he live beyond bis in
come. He should calculate closclv aud begin up
on the most economical scale. He should know
that it is easier to enlarge the style of living than
to curtail it. The necessity to retrench expenses
seldom forces itself upon a man uutil he fails— i
whereas he is seldom backward about iucreasittg
his outlay in proportion to hia means. Therefore,
he should determine to live economically—to live
within his means, whatever they be. If he makes
this good resolution and adheres to it, his neigh
bors will respect him the more for it and his credit
will rise among merchants. He will find himself
soon on a firm footing—he wiil owe no more than
he can pay without embarrassment, and he will be
steadily increasing bis meaus. He will, pursuing
steadily this policy, find his credit more extensive
than his business wisely, conducted demands. He
should not be too ready to rush into a rapid ex
tension of his operations because he learns that
he has won the confidence of older merchants. If
he spreads a little more sail than he can carry in ;
a storm, the storm will more than probably come, J
and then he will be wrecked—he will find when it
is too late that he has abused the credit he enjoy
ed —that lie has thrown away one of the brightest
jewels Commerce can bestow upon its constituents
— confidence. Once lost, it is seldom retrieved.
But if our young friend avoids this rock ou which
so many have split and broken tbeir fortunes, lie
must go on to prosperity and independence. He
must achieve a high position amongst commercial
men, and, it is to be hoped, before nis head is sil
vered o’er with the frosts of age, be able to retire
from the cares of business, resigning his place to
a younger merchant, whom he has wisely trained
iu the paths of his vocation. Such a man can en
joy the evening of life with all those happy asso
ciations aud reflections which are tbe rewards of
time well spent, aud of that thrift earned by good
judgment, industry and honesty.
The career of the opposite character is general
ly brief. His course begins with a vanity and fol
ly which hardly anything but ruin cun subdue or
check, and which too often terminates only in
, recklessness and despair. He generally begins
business as though the mere beginning is all—that
he is at once a made merchant, with a made busi
ness —that lie must talk and swell around, and
make himself heard and felt, aud his consequence
appreciated. He must live ns leading merchants
do—nay, as there is always the greatest facility of
reasoning one’s self into the error and folly for
which there is a predilection—he finds no difficulty
in satisfying himself that to live finely and liberally
is one way to grow popular and get business! He
becomes more and more inflated; is decidedly outoo
. magnificent a scale for his capital or his capacity.
’ He plays the merchant more out of doors tnun He
docs in his sioro, where some faithful clerk uiav
be helping him to spend his money, end he none
the wiser. What with a slow business aud extrava
gant living, it is not long before the shoe begins to
pinch—money is a little tight! Oh no, it is not
him, particularly, that is under the screws; it is a
general thing—everybody is hard up ; eveu “the
times are hard!” lie increases his demands upon
1 the banks, but never dreams of reducing Lift ex
penses aud lowering his pretensions!
If there is a money pressure, and trade is dull
just now; if he can only get a little indulgence, a
“little time,” all will be well. Bye aud bye, the
Banks throw out some of his paper; for which he
damns them roundly as a set of ungrateful, swind
ling or shaving shops, in which the merchants have
been foolishly keeping their money, while the
aforesaid shops were conducting their shaving ope
rations upon it! But he has himself had little or
uoue on deposite for a twelve-mouth, and tho Bank
clerk, who keeps his account, has to be tery sharp
Ito prevent hint front over-checking! The storv is
I soon told. Disappointed and embarrassed, hebas
not the resolution to look his case firmly in the
face. He will not now examine his affairs which
he has so long neglected. He is profoundly obli
vious to his family expenses—bis habits become
more reckless; aud ifcincliued to drink, he increas
es the number of his daily potations. The last act
of the drama of his career as a merchant, which
has been until uow a farce, closes rapidly and pain
fully. Exhausting his credit at Bank, and among
his neighbors by “loans on call,” he is finally pro
tested, makes an assaigumeut, gnd is wound up,
paving his creditors fifteen or twenty cents iu the
dollar"’ Aud this i9 the end of many a young man
of capacity, who, had he begun with less vanity,
less conceit, aud with a better understanding of his
means and the economy and prudence with which
they should have been employed, would have made
a successful aud prosperous merchant But once
fallen, fcty evey recover from the fall. {
This picture is all the more gloomy if the fate of
the hero invokes a family t\ ith it. ‘Alas, it is sad
to see the misery to poor woman and children,
which oft comes of folly nud recklessness such as
j this. It may be said that the ladies are ofteu to
blame for the’ extravagance that lends to ruin, and
deservedly share the distress The jpdguunt is
unjust. There are indeed extravagant lames: but
when a young woman is introduced by a husband
whom sbe loves and trusts, iuto his house, it is not
surprising that she should acquiesce in Ihe scale
of living he adopt s, and which, as she confide* in
him, she thinks he is able to maintain. If be is not
and does not undeceive hermit is his fault, pot hers,
and he adds to his folly the Bin of misleading the
being be has undertaken to protect iu a matter in
volving her welfare even more seriously than hj*;.
Eyery man should at the boginuing of married life
be frank on this point: but if he should neglect
this duty and find ne is living too fast, rare indeed
is tbe wife who will not submit to the exigency and
avoid perhaps misery itself, by a prompt reform in
the house , ihe made her vows at tbe altar to share
his fate, to love and cherish him, and an humbler
manner of living would be bliss to her were it ne
cessary for his welfare aud happiness.
Believing in the sagacity and prudence of woman, as well as
her devoted affection, wc could not recoinrncn.i a beues pnrtnei*
to the young merchant than a wife. Bhc will not onlv rive him
the Lest councils, h'tt will lie his guardian ungel to Ture him

Danoer op Straining the Eyes in Twilight.—
In the London and Edinburgh Philosophical Maga
zine, for May, is an account of sudden loss of the
power of distinguishing colors, produced by over
taxing iho eyes. A BCR-oaptaln, wb? was ip the
habit, when time hung heavy on his hands,’ of oc-
I cupying it by working at embroidery, was one
afternoon engaged upon a red iiower, and, being
anxious to tiuisn it prolonged hi3 labor until twi
light eome ua, and he found it difficult to select
the suitable colors. To obtain more light, he
I went into the companion-way, and there continued
big work. While thus taxing his his power
i of distinguishing the colors suddenly vanished. ;
He went upon deck, hoping tha? m* increase of
light would restore hi3 vision. In vain. From
that time to the present, more than ten years, he
has remained color-blind. Mr. White Cooper, who
brought this case to notice, says that, after the
great Exhibition of 1651, several instances came
under his notice in which the sensibility of the

Nitrogenized Superphosphate
OF LIME.
. Patented November 25, 1859.
I
T)RIOR to the year 1847, Superphosphate had been made In
| JT England, by treating burnt bonce with sulphuric acid, and
by the formation of sulphate of lbue, thus abstracting one atom
of lime from the bones, a soluble phosphate had been formed.
In 1847, J. J. Mapea made a aeries of experiments, thus: he
. fouud, analytically, that Peruvian Guano contained the neeessa
i ry elements for Insuring the growth of plants, but not In the
right relative proportions to each other. He instituted a series
i of experiments, practically, by which he proved that one huc
: dred pounds of burnt bones, treated with fifty-six pounds of
j sulphuric acid, thirty-six pounds of Peruvian Guano, and twen
ty pounds of sulphate of ammonia, forme-.l a mixture every way
, euperiorto Peruvian Guano, and that it would not excite the
soli, but would continually add to Its fertility.
He had found that one barrel of blood, fresh horn the animal,
mixed with a cord of organic matter, would, by fermentation,
j produce a manure equal to a cord of well-rotted stable manure— !
i lie further fouud that eeventeen barrels .of blood, when dried,
, would make one barrel, and that blood could be procured at
j comparatively little tost, in certain sections; that ft could be j
: dried by cooking and pressing, so as to produce a dry powder,
: and by adding to the above named ingredients, au equal weight
j of dried bullock’s blood a manure Is formed one hundred pound*.
■ of which are equal in power and lasting eftect to out hundred
: and eighty five pound* of the best Peruvian Guano.
1 Since ho has ottered his invention to the runners of the coun- j
j tiy, some fifty companies have Imitated this article under va-
I rious names, and for the purpose of rendering it popular, have I
I traduced Prof. Map< and his article, claiming to make that of a j
’ superior equality. Every t ear presents new Imitators of this
j article, who manufacriire an inferior article, using the mineral
Phosphates as a basis, instead of the calcined boties of animals,
i Notwithstanding all this, the demand for Mapes* Nitrogenized
1 Surperphosphate of Lime has doubled.
| Peruvian Guano contains an excessive amount of Ammonia,
the only use of which iato render water capable of.dissolving a
larger amount of the Inorganic constituents of the soli, or as
i sometlmeo called to act as an excitant. The market gardeners of !
I New Kirecht commenced some years ago by using two hundred
weight of guano to the acre: they are now- compelled to use
. twelve hundred weight to produce me same effect, and their land
! Uevidently impoverished by its uae, while those who have used
the Nitrogenized Superphosphate oi Lime, have steadily found
their soils to be improved, and instead of requiring more, they
requh e less fertilizing material each v, tar. And this is partial- !
lariy true of Cotton and Tobacco lands.
Among the advantages arising from the use of Nitrogenized !
Superphosphate are the following: It carries no weed seed to I
the soil: It prevents rust, and insures the perfecting cf plants; !
thus, when used on cotton, the bolls do not lUU, and, as by the ;
experience of Mr. Lomas, Col, Davla, Col. Goodwin, and others, 1
. It gives a greater w eight per acre of cotton, for w heat. It has |
steadily proved Itself (o be superior to Peruvian Guano; when ‘
1 in contact with seed, It does not destrov it as does the Peruvian t
: Guano; and it supplies the deficiency “of phosphate of ilrne and ‘
other Ingredients, produced by excessive reaping of grain and :
j undue pasturage.
The reports ou the fttrra of thß Inventor, of the American In- ‘
! stitute, and committees of other Institutions who have visited It,
although it is manured entirely with this fertilizer, prove that no
■ manure ha* yet been used which produces an equal arnoum of
profit.
The subscriber has been appointed Sole Agent In Augusta for
the sale of the above fertilizer and ocAKLNrxss that its con
stituents are the materials stated above, and nothing else.
Planters desiring moie Information will please send for our elr-
I culoi, containing Testimonial* and the art Idee by Dr. EnderUn
( which constitute the best treaih-s ou Phosphate ever writtea. ’
i price $36 per ton, In Augusta.
