John Dean, an old and highly respectable citiaea of Clarke county, died at hie plantation Saturday, and was buried with Masonic honors, Sunday. The deceased was distinguished for his hospitality, gene rosity and sterling integrity, and was, we believe, upwards of eighty years old- Mrs. Dean was buried on the preceding Suuday —having died just one week before her hus band. * ♦» Stump Speech—in Court. A fine opportunity was presented the dis tinguished counsel for the plaiutiff (f) in the libel case, yesterday, to deliver himself of the chaste speech he was not allowed, much to his disappointment, to utter before tho Commission at the meeting on Tuesday afternoon. He took occasion, in ostensibly addressing the jury, to pander to the appe tites and prejndicos of the crowd in attend ance, by ‘'throwing dirt” at the Proprietor of the Daily Press. lie (the distin guished Advocate) resorted to his favorite mode of argument — by calling Mr. Puohe a “sealiwag,” declaring that all that kept his filthy sheet going was General Order 49, that he, "the pet of the Bureau,” was “backed by bayonets,” and was, indeed, “a sneaking hound.” Unable, mentally or intellectually, to answer the masterly argument and appeal of the scholarly lawyer who preceded him, the ex-“goveruor,” true to his instinct, acted the blackguard to perfection. Insensible to shame himself, wo could but feel pity for the poor trans-Oeonce Governor in his senseless ravings. Atmospheric Chances. The causes of certain atmospheric phe nomena have been discussed by a scientific French professor, who maintains that these causes are internal. Taking it for granted that the central mass of the globe is fluid fire, it is urged that the vapor therefrom, acting against the inner surface of the earth's crust by which it is enclosed, will, by ex citing powerful electrical currents, produce sudden chauges above the surface. He maintains that another effect of the internal pressure will be continual changes of level on the outer surface, so much so that, in liib point of view, there is no such thing as firm land. This is a very uncomfortable theory for the inhabitants of the outer crusts of this planet, especially in those regions recently shaken by earthquakes. Heat from the Stars. It is a starring fact that if the earth were dependent alone upon the sun for heat, it would not get heat enough to keep existence in animal and vegetable life upon its surface. It results from the researches of Pouillet that the stars furnish heat enough in the course of a year to melt a crust of icc seventy-five teet thick—almost as much as is supplied by the sun. This may appear strange when we consider how immeasurably small mast be the amount of heat from any one of those distant bodies. But the surprise vanishes when we remember that the whole firmament is so thickly sown with stars that in some places thousands are crowded together within a space no greater than that occupied by the full moon. The eye can not see more than a thousand at the same time in the clearest heaven, yet the number is probably indefinite. From the first to the sixth magnitude inclusive, the total number of visible stars is 3,138. Perpetual motion. The Petersburg Express says Mr. W. D. Wright, of that city, has invented a machine that comes nearer perpetual motion than anything we have read or heard of, and all it lacks is the proper machinery to make it perfect, for which purpose he will visit Baltimore next week. His model consists of two boxes about four inches apart, which contains the machinery, connected with two tracks, one with a grade of two and a half inches, and the other about or.e inch. The hall used is a canister shot found on the battle field, April 2d, 1865, snd weighs six ounces, which is placed upon the top track and started. It passes through the box down on the lower track into tho other box, causing a hell to strike as it passes through to the top track, and continues on as long as the ball remains on the track. This is certainly a curious invention. Honor Your Husinoss. It is a good sign when a man is proud of his calling. Yet nothing is more common than to hear men finding fault constantly with their particular business, and deeming themselves unfortunate because fastened to. it by the necessity of gaining a livelihood. In this spirit men fret, and laboriously destroy all their comlort in tho work ; or they change their business, and go on mis erably, shifting from one thing and to another, till the grave or the pool-house gives them a fast grip. But while occasion ally a man fails iu life because he is not in the place fitted for his peculiar talents, it happens ten times oftener that failure results from neglect, and even contempt, of an honest business. A man should put lii3 heart into everything that he does. There is not a profession that has not its peculiar cares and vexations. No man will escape annoyances by changing business. No mer cantile business is altogether agreeable. Commerce, in its endless varieties, is affected like all other human pursuits, with trials, unwelcome duties, and spirit-tiring necessi ties. It is the very wantonness of folly for a man to search out tho frets and burdens of hia calling, and give his mind every day to a consideration of them. They belong to human fife. They are inevitable. Brooding, then, only gives them strength. On the other hand, a man has power given to him to shed beauty and pleasure upon the home liest toil, if he is wise. Let a man adopt his business and identify it with his life, and cover it with pleasant associations ; for God has given us imagination not alone to make some poets, but to enable all men to beautify homely things. Heart-varnish will cover up innumerable evils and defects. Look at the good things. Accept your lotas a man does a piece of rugged ground, and begin to get out tho rocks and roots, to deepen and mel low the soil, to enrich and plant it. There is something in the most forbidding avocation, around which a man may twine pleasant fancies—out of which he may dcvelopc an honest pride. lab Printing. K. H. Ptfuwx's Printing Office, 190 Broad street, is amply supplied with all necessary presses and types, and other materials, to do all kinds of job work with neatness, prompt ness, accuracy and dispatch, and at the lowest prices. Persons wanting cards, circulars, loiter aud bill heads, programmes, prospectuses, pamphlets, and, in fact, any one wishing printing done, will do well to give him a call. He is determined not to be outdone either in quality of the work done, or in tho price it may be doue for. Patrons may rely on their work being cheaply, quickly, and well done. Plaut—Planl—Plaiil. To our readers we say, Plant. Except tho tenderest vegetables, the seed of all other varieties may now be planted in this climate. The cost of seed is trifling, compared with the profits of very early crops. By planting now, you get ahead of grass and cut worms. Better spend a little extra labor in protect ing your early vegetables from a few cold nights, than to spend days of toil in sub duing tho grass that comes up with, and outgrows the tender plant. It is as well, too, that the frost should compel you to replant as that the cut worm should. There fore, plant—plant ogaiu— keep planting, and your perseverance will be richly rewarded.

Wahhinutqn, January 22.—Tbo Recon. struction bill was read over. Mr. Doolittle objected to the eecond reading, and it went ov*r under rules. Thu Conference Committee reported on the Anti-Contraction bill, which was adopted. Tho amendment ts the Cotton Tax, admitting foreign cotton duty free, was reaffirmed by the Senate by a vote of 25 to 18. The Maryland Union League petitions an extension of the Reconitruction acts over Maryland. The case of Senator Thomas was resumed, when the Scnato adjourned, in honor of Mr. Noel. Hcnuc.— The Deficiency bill was resumed. Mr. Maynard, of Ten»essee, proposed tho matter of stationery to be left to tho honor of the members. i Mr. Stevens objected, itating that it was an old rule under which members made stationery cover pantaloons and shirts. Mr. Ross proposed an amendment, sus pending tho payment ol members while travelling in Europe. The bill finally passed. Resolutions from Mississippi, praying the removal of political disabilities from certain citizens, were presented. Mr. Blaine introduced a bill taxing shares in National Banks. The Post Office Committee was directed to inquire into the expediency of abolishing the franking privilege. The Committee on Education was directed to inquire into the expediency of providing for a general system of education in rebel dom—educating every child between the ages of five and twenty. The bill forfeiting lands granted by the Rebel States for railroad purposes, was re sumed. During the discussion Mr. Chandler called Mr. Julian a coward. Vhe Speaker ruled bis words unparlia mentary. Mr. Chandler retorted, “certainly not it he is one.” Mr. Julian retorted, that Mr- Chandler could test his cowardice at any time. Mr. Chandler replied, very well, sir, I’ll take an early opportunity. Tho biil went over. The death of Thomas E. Noell was an nounced, and after appropriate proceedings the House adjourned. Washington Items. Washikgtox, January 22.—The Secretary of Navy has sent Congress an amended esti mate, reducing the naval expenses twenty two million dollars. In connection with Grant’s reported oppo sition to the new reconstruction act, it is regarded as significant that Washburne, of Illinois, though in his seat, did not vote for or against the bill. The case reported below is from Louis iana: “Armstrong worked his foundry in New Orleans, while Lovell commanded making shot and shell for the Confederates. When New Orleans was captured, Armstrong took the oath, and continued working his factory, which was afterwards seized and condemned. Armstrong’s pardon is dated March.” The Armstrong foundry case, pending in the Supreme Court, is very much contested. First the Attorney General moved to dismiss the appeal, insisting the case should be heard on Writ of Error. In this he was overruled. Second Armstrong moved to file a plea of pardon, which the Attorney General resisted. Leave was given after argument to file the plea, so that the case will now be heard on the merits, and will come up next week. the Attorney General represents the United States, and Hon. Humphrey Mar shall, of Kentucky, appears for Armstrong. The ease is considered a leading one, which must decide the points—lst. Whether a seizure and capture are the same. 2d Whether property liable to capture and prize embraces land held by private title. 3d. Whether property tainted by the guilty consent ot the owner is relieved by his par don after condemnation and before sale. 4th. Whether the citizen, shut up in a place occupied by Confederate arms, can be re sponsible to the United States for a breach of the municipal law under command of the Confederates. sth. Whether the Constitu tion operates with its guarantee upon him when the United States recover the city. Ihe Post Office Department has matured arrangements tor regular mails from Balti more, by Havana and Key West, to New Orleans and back. The Liberty leaves New Orleans to-day, aud the Cuba leaves Balti more to-morrow, the 23d inst. A contract has also been made to convey mails from New Orleans, by Pensacola, St, Marks, Cedar Keys, Tampa, Fort Jefferson, and Dry lortugas, to Key West aud back, twice a month. Florida Convention. Tai.i.aiiassf.e, January 22.—1n the Con vention a resolution prescribing an oath of office for members and officers of the Con vention was passed. A resolution was passed to telegraph to General Meade, informing him that the Con vention was organized, and ready to receive any communication he had to make. Aslo, to Col. Sprague, commanding tho District of Florida, inviting him to a seat in the Con vention. The report of the Committee on Organiza tion relative to the election of clerks aud messengers, was taken up and amended, so as to authorize the President to appoint such number of each as he concluded was neces sary, and adopted. The rules of the House of Representa tives, with some slight alterations, were adopted. Governor Walker and the State officers were invited to seats in the Convention. A Committee on Finance, Relief, and Printing was appointed. An ordinance for the relief of the people ol Florida, which prohibits the sale of uny property on execution and the collection of taxes, and ordering the release of all per* sons now imprisoned for the non-payment of I tftxca, wus introduced and passed, Erom Atlanta. Atlakta, Jan nary 22. (-The time of the Convention wa* largely taken op in the di»- cussion of alleged misrepresentations by reporters for the press. A committee of five was appointed to investigate such charges. Three additional sections of the bill of Rights were adopted, essentially, as in the old constitution. A call was issued to-day by the Radical State Committee, for a convention at this point on the 19th of February next, to transact such business as may be brought before it. • From Virginia- Richmond, January 22. —Grant leaves for Washington to-morrow. Scofield gives an entertainment to the Peabody Trustees to night. Bishop Mcllwaine, of Ohio, made a brief address to tho Convention to-day. In the Convention, the proposed article in the Bill of Right; declaring Virginia coequal with other States, etc., was defeated. At a meeting of tl»e Peabody Fund Trus tees, to-day, the following resolution was offered by Gen. Grant, and adopted : Resolved , That in view of the present des titution prevailing in the Southern and Southwestern States, it is in the opinion of this board expedient that the Executive Committee aud the General Agent be au thorized, in conformity with the permission granted by Mr. Peabody to expend forty per cent, of the principal of the funds, in addi tion to the accrued interest, and that as large a poition of said sum, not exceeding two hundred thousand dollars, be expended during the current year, as in their judgment can be advantageously used in promoting the object of the Trustees, and the authority of the board is hereby given to such appro, priation. Another resolution was adopted, giviug several agents authority to increase the sums already promised for education, and make payments quarterly or semi annually. Ihe Board then adjourned to meet in New York on the third Thursday in June next. North Carolina Convention- Raleigh, January 22.—The Convention speut to-day in fixing the per diem, travel ling expenses, etc., nnd resolving to have a reporter for the Convention.
