Dm. », 186* Th« Uoe of the Dictionary. Thu trader may discover by the fol lowing extract that it would be possible to write * tecbnieally gramatiooi Sen tence which wouhf be almost unintelli gible. The words below can all be found in the dictionary, and all are grauiatically used ; and yet the thing is as hopelessly dark as if written tn Cherokee. It is an amusing illustration of the fact that one may write Euglish or speak it, and still use an unknown tongne. The latter purports to be a note from an author to a critic: Sir: You have behaved like an im petiginous scrovle 1 Like those inqui nate, crass sciolists who, envious of my moral ceisitude, carry their nugacity to the height of creating symposically the facund words which my polymathic genius uses with überty to abligate the tongues of the weetless : Sir, you have crassly parodied my own pet words, as though they were tangrams. I will not coacervate reproaches—l would obduce a veil over the atramental ingratitude which has chamfered even my uudis cerptible heart. I am silent on the foscillation which ray coadjuvancy must have given you when I offered to be io ueyour fautor and adininele. I will not speak of the lippitude, the ablepsy, you have shown in exacerba ting me—One whose genius you should have approached with mental discalce ation. So I tell you, sir, syncopphicallv, and without supervacaneous words, nothing will render ignoscible your conduct to me. I warn you that 1 would vellicate your nose, if I thought that any moral diathrosis could be thereby performed—if I thought that 1 should not iuipignorate my reputation by such a digtadiation. Go, tachygrapliic scroyle! band with your crass, inquinate fautors—draw oblectations from the thought, if you can, of having synachronically lost the existimation of the greatest poet since Milton, and draw upon your head this letter, which will drive you to Walker and send you to sleep over it, Knowledge is power, and power is mercy ; so I wish you wo worse than i t may prove an eternal hypnotic.” For an entire solution of the above highly interesting missive, the anxious reader is invited to amuse himself an hour or two with Walker’s or Webster's unabridged. A Wonderful Land with Stone Trees Six Hundred Feet Long.—ln the Eastern Slope newspaper we find a report of many of the curiosities and the great riches of the Black Rock country, in the northwestern portion of California. The reports of the singular features of that section are of many years standing, but are so marvellou s that they have seldom obtained credence. Among the wonderful stories we have heard is one that there is a petrified tree there seven hundred feet in length! The present reirort in part confirms pre vious statements, and establishes the fact, that Black Rock is one of the wonders of the Pacific coast, like the Yosomite, the big trees, the Gycers, etc. Besides the curiosities there appears to be an abundance of silver at Black Rock, but the ore is said to be of an unusual variety and very difficult to work ; but it has been worked with very good results at the mills at Washoe. The quantity of ore is so great that it is said it will justify the erection of a thou sand mills, A gentleman who visited the section has exhibited to the editor of the East ern Slope very many curiosities peculiar to the country, strange petrifications from the ravines, curious water-worn pebbles from the mountain tops ; knives j arrow-heads and daggers manufactured by Indian skill from solid flint, a supe rior quality apparently of ore-block tin, said to contain six hundred dollars in silver to the ton, pebble tin, with its curious fracture, that admits no change in form, and a thousand strange and new things. The editor says: He also tells us of tunny strange things that he saw, but could not bring with him, and many stranger things that fie heard but did not see. Among the latter list of wonders is a great basin that contains a petrified forest, apparently floated there, many vast trees of solid stone, ranging from six to fifteen feet in diameter. Doubtful as this tale may appear j shall we dare to dispute its correctness when we know this strange country has a boiling spring of fresh water fifteen feet in diameter, that cannot be sounded, from which no drop of water ever runs ; that in the same vicinity there is a flowing stream of cold and apparently good water, the drinking of which in duces venereal disease; and that uny water found by digging is as salt as salt can make it; that a half dollar depos. ited in the soil is eaten up by the salt, and alter thirty days no vestige can be found. —A Baltimore dispatch says it is ru mored that Reverdy Johnson will take a seat in the Cabinet, and that the Demo crats will elect Governor Swann to the unexpired term of two years in the United States Senate, reserving the full six years term for a straight out Eastern Shore Democrat. the daily press.

Questions fob Bacuei.obs. —The fol lowing elementary catechism tor youug men about to marry, is commended to bachelor readers: Are you aware, sir, of the price of coal and candles? Bo you know which is the most eco nomical, aitch-bone, or the round of beef? How far will a leg of mutton go in a small family ? How much dearer now is silver than Britannia? Declare, if you can, rash youth, the sum per annum that chemisettes, perle rines, cardinals, bonnets, veils, crapes, ribbons, flowers, gloves, cuffs, and col lars would come to in a lump ? If unable to answer these inquiries, we would say to him, “Go back to school. - ' He that would be a husband should also undergo training, physical and moral. He should be further exam ined thus: Can you read or write amid the noise of a nursery ? Can you wait any given time for breakfast ? Can you maintain your serenity dur ing a washing day ? Can you cut your old frieuds? Can you stand being contradicted in the face of all reason ? Can you keep your temper when you are not listened to? Can you do what you are told without being told why ? In one word, young man, have you the patience of Job ? If you can lay your hand on your heart and answer “yes," take your li* cense aud marry—not else. AUGUSTA, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1866.
