Kxamples of Great Age Among the Jewe.
The “ Art of Prolonging Lifo ” saysProm tho
history of the Jews we are enabled to colloct the fol
lowing facts. Abraham, a man of great and resolute
mind who was fortunate In all his undertakings, at-
- tained to the age of 176 years; his Bon Isaac, a chaste,
peaceable man, and fona of tranquility, to 180 •, Jacob,
who was also a lover of peace but crahy and cunning,
lived only 147 years; Ishmael, a warrior, 137; Sarah,
the only (emale of the ancient world with whoso du
ration of lire we are acquainted, lived 127 years ;
. Joseph a man of great prudence and political talents,
much afllcted in nls youth, but greatly honored in his
latter days, lived to the ago of 110.
Hoses, a man of extraordinary strength and spirit,
rich in deeds but week in words, carried his life, dur
ing which he was exposed to great care aud fatigue,
to tho age of 120. But ho even complains that the
Ufa of man endures only three-score-and ten, or at
most four score years ; and we hence find that, in re
gard to ago, the case was exactly the same three
uonsand years ago as it is at present.
The warlike and active Joshua lived to the age of
110. Ell, the high priest, a corpulent phlegmatic
man, o. a resigned disposition, lived to be only 90 ;
bnt Elisha, severe towards others and towards him
self, who despised convenience and riches, lived far
above 100. Ia the latter period of the Jewish State,
the prophet Simeon, a man full of hope and confi
dence in God, was distinguished by a life of 90 rears.
However replete with lablcs the history of the Egyp
tians may bo, the age or their kings, recorded from
the earliest periods present nothing remarkable. The
longest reign is somewhat above fifty years.
A Sight not often Seen,
In Aaron, a town of some 0,000 to 8,000 inhabitants
in Switzerland, the Protestants and Catholics have
bnt one church. They share it peaceably together.—
What is more, considering man’s prejudices, they
have but one grave-yard, and there their dust mingles
together. The Bight of bo much unexpected liberali
ty did me good. The church Is divided into two parts,
A Catholic and a Protestant. They have their relig
ious services alternate, and they never quarrel.
The same bell calls both to church, tho same roof
covers both congregations and I rather guess the
same God hears tho prayers of both. I was astonish
ed to find this fact, for the Aarau people were des
cribed to me as very intolerant Protestants, and the
Catholics there as much embittered against them ;
And I made special inquiry whether during the late
religious difficulties in Switzerland, the joint use of
the church was not endangered by tho prevailing high
prejudices. I was told that it was not.
1 frankly expressed to th i Catholic soxlon, who
showed us the church, my gratification at tho har
monious action of the two religious sects. “ Well, as
to that,” said lie, “ tho people of Aarau are neither
very zealoua Catholics nor very active Pratestants ;
they might both be improved in their zeal for their
respective nhnrnb*-.” 1m«t-Z ImO a UmtUumiU DC-
Tore me. I said nothing in reply, but after we were
out of church, I conld not help saying to my com pan-
ions : “ The Aarau people may bo poor protestants
and poor Catholics, but surely thoy are good Chris
tians.— Memoranda European Travel.

ment, in I860, having donated 2,500,000 acres in aid
of It, that land, and the remains or the road, wore
made over to the present company, who placed the
whole in trust to soonro $17,000,000 of 7 per cent,

000 acres to pay tho principal, and 260,000 acres for
tho interest. Of these bonds, the first issue a* 0 por

The Now Assay Office.
This work fa going forward with energy, and expec
tations are entertained that it will be completed in
shout throe months, unless something unforeseen
should occur. The building, which is situated direct
ly in the rear of the old United States Bank, will be
a very substantial structure, four stories in height be
sides the basement, built upon the most improved
plan, with iron roof and beamB, and essentially fire
proof. The floor beams are of wrought iron, on a now
<pian, being raudi like an II rail. Several builders
have already taken drawings and measurements, with
tho view of imitating them. Tho roof will also con
sist of iron bars, overlaid with some incombustible
material.
The Assay Office will have a huge stack or chim
ney, 144 feet in height, lined with fire-brick ; and by
means of the furnaces an intense heat will be gener
ated in them, so as to effectually consume all tue or
fenslve gases which would otherwise bo thrown into
the atmosphere. Tbe basement and first story of the
building are of cut stone, all the superstructure brick.
Included in tho furnace apparatus connected with the
establishment, will bo a flue steam engine, of eight
or ten horse power; a crushing mill for pulverizlug
the dross or scoria; an Improved hoisting machine
for raising heavy articles from the basement to the
upper Btories; twelve or fourteen furnaces to bo lo
cated in the first story and basement, and to form two
distinct seta at either end of tho building, ouo of
which will be for refining gold, and tho other for sil
ver.
Tho hoisting machine, the crushing mill, and other
machinery that maybe introduced, will all bo pro
pelled by the steam engine, which will also be cm-
ployedito distribute hot air through the different of
fices, and especially to expel the impure acid gases
(which rise to tbe third story,) from tho building.—
The furnaces, before alluded to are to bo constructed
on a new plan, acting on tho biow-pipe system ; and
anthracite is to bo nsed as a fuel, instead of charcoal,
as at New Orloans and Philadelphia, which is far
more expensive. The arrangement of the building ia
to b> as follows :
Basement, for engine, furnaces, &o.
1st story, for melting and refining.
2d story, for tbe assay department.
8d story,for separating or parting metals.
4th story, for purposes not yet specified.
'With the facilities here afforded, a vest amount of
work may be accomplished. It is judged, that ten or
fifteen men will be employed in tho assay office—
though the number is net definitely known—one man
being competent to make three melts in a day, of
1690 ounces.
Tbe bank building on Wall street will be nsed for
the Sub-Treasury. An eiovated platform will connect
It with tbe Custom House. Without doubt, a strong
effort will be made by our Representatives at the next
session of Congress, to secure the passage of the
Mint bill; and incase of its success, a purchase of
the property In the rear, extendlag back to Pine-et.,
will be made, on which to ereot the proposed Mint.
The appointments to the Assay Office have not yet
been rally made. Besides the assayor, Prof. Torrey,
Is the melter, refiner, wolghor, Ac., with assistants.
The works now in progress are under the superinten
dence of able men, one of whom bos had extensive
experience In the Mints of the United States.
The processes for which tho present institution Is
established, may be described thus, briefly : Califor
nia gold will be first melted, purified with nitre, (salt
. petre) repeatedly skimmed, to removo earthy parti-
elts, and ladled oat into a basin of water 2 or 2t feet
deep, to granulate the metal. In this form, it is like
■now-flakes, that it may be acted open by nitric-acid
to peperate the silver from the gold. The silver Is
precipitated through a strong salt brine, of a severe
strength, and afterwards washed and dried. In this
form.lt is called chloride of silver or horn silver, and
only reqolres re-meltlng to produce refined silver*—
Tbe gold Is also re-melted, making fine gold. It then
undergoes another melting process, mixed np with 1
part of of copper and Oof silver, or 9 of gold, which
forms tbe standard of the United States coin. The
metal la next run into ingots, about sixteen Inches
long, one wide and half on loch thick, weighing twen
tv or thirty onnees. When stamped with ‘ U. 8.,’ and
tneir exact weight, they are ready for shipment as
coinage—Jour. Com.
Bank Failobks.—Wo most cordially agree with
tbe Chicago Courant, that the winding up a few
banking oonoerns, and tbe consequent failure of sun
dry speculations, makes no dangerous trail In the
path of bonert Industry. The country has a Meehan-
lo am, and this arm belongs to men who venture
nothing on a sea of speculation. It has, also, a Mer
cantile organization, propped properly—a combina
tion of common sense that adheres to business fact,
not wanders Into mazes of foolish indulgences, based
npon rumors of foreign wars, and tbe puzzling para
graphs of political protocols. With an honest ad<
ministration, a commercial and mercantile thorough-
ism, and an Industrious yeomanry, the thirty and odd
States can stand tbe upsetting of all tbe Banks in tbe
Union, and the squabbilngs or all the governments !n
Europe. Every one to his own affairs, and give no
on lo caucuses or rotten banks—Republic.

The following hurried letter from a friend in Athens
to the editor of the Chronicle, furnishes the melan
choly details of the sudden death of Judge Dougher-
ty:
Athens, Go., Nov. 20.
Editor Chronicle fy Sentinel—Bin: About dusk
this evening our citizens were startled by the appall
ing intelligence, that Judge Dougherty was killed, by
the arrival of a messenger for medical and other aid.
He was on his return from a hunt, in accompany
with two friends. When about four miles from town,
in the vicinity of Wilson’s Mill,on climing a fence he
fell backwards and expired in a few minutes. It is
supposed to have been occasioned by an apoplectic
fit, ’
You, Mr. Fditor, can judge of the sensations pro
duced hero when the sorrowlul event was rendered
certain. Few ore able to realize it, it Ib bo sudden,

In tbe death of Judge Dougherty our community
has suffered a great loss—one ofits best and most re
spected citizens, and Georgia one of her brightest jew
els ; for he was beloved and respected w nen living,
by all who knew him, and but few will hear of his
death without paying the tribute of a tear to his mem
ory.
A public meeting of tho citizens of this and the ad

Col. Fremont’* Expedition.
A gentleman of this city has placed In our hands
a letter written to him by a member of Colonel Fre
mont's party, and dated “ 8aline, Fork of tho Kan
sas river, October 30.” The party had been camping
ut this place Tor several weeks, anxiously waiting for
Col. Fremont to Join them, but he had not arrived at
the date of tho letter, although he left Independence
on tho 22d ult. Tim distance between that point aud
the camp is about 350 miles.
There was a great desire in tho camp to get for
ward. The Indians of tho party, particularly, mani
fested impatience at the delay. The weather was
vory cold, tho thermometer standing at fifteen de
grees, and there had been several hail and snow
storms. The Indiana predict a long and very severe
winter, with ranch falling weather, and the reasons
they assign for it arc, the appearance of tho “ fire
light,” as they call the aurora borealis, and tho mi
gration of the buffalo southward; tho latter, they
say, is an unfailing indication.
The company are well armed, and have been em
ploying their lolsure time In acquiring a skilful use of
their rifles. It is confidently nsserted that there is
not a man in tho party who caunot bring down a
” red skin ” at a distance of two hundred yards with
the greatest ease, should occasion require it.
The health of the party was generally good, though
some of them had experienced the HI effects of par
taking too plentifully of buffalo meat, bafore becom
ing accustomed to it.
Mr. Egloffstcin, tho topographical engineer of the
expedition, has made a thorough survey of tho coun
try lying around the encampment. The soil is rich

are large quantities of stone in the bluffs suitable
either for building or fencing. Should the Pacific

to induce them to go there and build up a State than

Yankbc Calculations.—The Hnllowell Gazette
says that some cate Yankee has estimated that tho
ocean contains 36,000,000 cubio miles of water—a
quantity about equal to that which all the rivers of
tho earth would disgorge in 40,000 years. Tho
amonnt of heat received from tbo sun In a single
year would be sufficient, ifequelly distributed, to
\°r ut ot . ice tbirty-two fed thick, enveloping
the whole earth. According to tbe technical recKon-
log, the solar heat which annually rises from tbe sea
water in the form of vapor, would, if properly dl-
rected, exert an Influence equal to sixteen billions of
borae power. A company of 41 Young Americana”
will undoubtedly soon be formed, for the purpose of
adapting this laat mentioned powor to manufacturing

plnmmoth clipper Ship,
Tho N. Y. Tribune saya:
Tho clippers are leaky, os n class. Tho ships are
immensely long, narrow, and sharp as a wedge. Their
construction ia thus such that they buckle and twist
like a withe in heavy weather. The fact that thoy do
so is one of tho necessary conditions of their unex
ampled speed. A stiff vessel cannot be propelled
over tho uneven aud varying aurfaci of the ocean
like a flexible one. To obtain tbo utmost degree of
E ossiblo velocity, a ship must bo so built os to adapt
erself measurably to the uneven surface she travers
es. Tho strain upon tho clippers, owing to their ex
treme sharpness and length, (the propelling power
being aloft, and not under or upon deck, ns in steam
ers) luduces their rapid deterioration. It produces
a weakness, which increases in geometrical ratio to
their years, so that it may be fairly doubted whether
the average life of our best clippers is going to exceed
five years, It is not long since we saw the very legi
ble marks of premature old age upon one of the
finest of these crafts, and the captain acknowledged
that such results as were there appareut, were the
inevitable results of the peculiar construction of the
ship, and it is a fact of well understood significance,
that our clippers generally land their cargoes in Cali
fornia in very bad condition.
Tho great marine underwriting interest fa thus be
coming sensitive in regard to this class of ships. The
rate of Insurance fa already higher, and more difficulty
experienced in procuring it. The cargo of a new
clipper is not to-uay so favorite a risk in tho Pacific
as the cargo of an old whaler. As in regard to the
general architectural characteristics of clippers, so,
too, in respect to their immense tonnage and capacity.
Some of our richest and most enterprising commer
cial bouses steadily refuse to touch the largest of these
ships, in the way of purchase, on tho ground that the
delay and difficulty of loading such great carriers in
most of the porta of the world, fa a great drawback
upon the advantages obtained by their superior speed.
A comparatively slow ship, that can load at once aud
be off, may reach her port of destination sooner than
a swift ouo that waits lonnerfor her cargo.
Theao consideration* nil point to one result in re
spect to tho present unparalleled strides of our mer
cantile marine. It fa that wo have touched, or are
close upon, the culminating point ns regards tho size
and speed of our clippers, indeed, it seems not im
probable, In view of them, that tho present rage for
monster clipper ships will soon subside, and bo fol
lowed by a general couviction in favor of ships con
structed on a model, as to shape and capacity, some
where between our old Liverpool liners, and tho ex
tremesoi modern clippers.
IlcnltH of our City.
New Orloans fa little given to panic making, and
our citizeus are usually fortified by common sense
and moral courage against those preposterous appre
hensions that sometimes create consternation iu a
whole community. Wo presume, however, tliut the
terrible experience of the past summer has contribu
ted somewhat to the geueration ot an extreme semi
tiveneBS touching our Banitary condition, aud upon
this supposition we con readily understand and ex
cuse tho unfounded rumors of the ravages of the chol
era amongst us, which for the last day or two have I
been caught up from mouth to mouth, and transmitted
to every part of our city with wonderful rapidity and
alarming exaggeration. At the same time we are
pleased that tho prevalence of those groundless re-
jiortu Lovo Loon iuhUo Hie occusion for a calm and
deliberate investigation of facts by tbe Board of Health,
and that tho action of that body has incontrovertibly
demonstrated the favorable condition of public heulth,
and lias scattered to tho wiuds the terrors of the tim
id, aud tho silly stories propagated by them.
A meeting of the Boavd of Health was held on
Thursday last, for the express purpose of ascertaining

leave to report:
That after investigation and consultation with
members of tho faculty, they liavo come to tho con
clusion that there Is no present cause far alarm or
for supposing that the disease fa likely to assume an
epidemic cliaructer, and they base their opiuion upon
tho following facta;
1st.—The murky, moist and dnmp condition of the
ntmospbere which bos occurred for some time past,
has given rise to influenzas, and, os usual, diarrlircas
aud cholera, which, from ueglcct, terminated futally,
in many instances; but almost entirely confined to
the Charity Hospital.
2d«—The recent change of tho weather lias had a
very obvious effect in reducing the number of cases.
For example :
On Sunday, the 20th, there were admitted in the
Charity Hospital, four cases of cholera, although
other cases hud been admitted previously.
On Monday there were eight cases.
On Tuesday -" eleveu •'
On Wednesday “ four “
On Thursday " two •*
We will add, that by the records of the Charity
Hospital, we Hud that there were seventy cases of
cholera admitted during the month of November,
1852 ; and in 1851, there were, during tho season-
say January and February—one hundred and four
cases treated in the same institution —-N. O. Bee. 26th,

bales Uplands and 490 bales Sea Islands, against 37,472
bales Uplands and 040 bales Sea Islands at the sume time
last year.
Tho market opened with a good demand on Friday, In
fluenced by tho Canada’s accounts, and during tho day
1,050 bales wore disposed of at last week’s quotations,
Saturday the market was very active, and 1.208 bates
changed hands at full prices, Monday’s'operations footed
up 894 bales, without change. On Tuesday there was leas
Inquiry, as parties were awaiting later accounts from Eu
rope ; tho sales amounted to only 497 biles, but we could
not learn that holders had relaxed from their askiug rates,
Tho Atlantic’s accounts came to hand on Tuesday evening,
reporting sales at Liverpool for tho three days ending tho
16th ult., 15.000 bales, at prices in favor of buyers, but
without any actual change in quotations. Tho steamer’s
new* had an unfavorable efTect on our market, as operators
had been looking for an advance at Liverpool, and on Wed
nesday sales were limited to 301 bates at easier prices.—
Yesterday’s transactions did not exceed 478 bates, and the
market closed heavy at our quotations, which exhibit a
decline of % to Mo on tho week’s operations. ThB falling
off is mostly on the middling and lower grades, the latter
being eutirely neglectod. Fair Cotton continues scarce and

Ileal tli of Jackson.
We learn that grossly false reports are In circula
tion through the country, relative to tho prevalence
of vellow fever here. The following statement sign
ed by tho physicians of the city, lias been issued iu
handbills:
“ The undersigned, physicians of the city of Jack-
son, do hereby certify that the yellow fever, os an
epidemic, lias ceased to exist; and that the recent
rumors of its prevalence in our city are without foun
dation.”
Wo will only add to tho above that, as was to havo
been expected, a few cases of fever, generally of a
mild character, have occurred since the first frost. No
cousideration would induce us to fail to give warning
if there was any danger ia visiting here. But we as
sure our friends in the country that there is uot the
slightest danger from yellow fever iu Jackson, and
that the town fa now unusually healthy. The seven
or eight cases which have occurred within the nast
three weeks, with twoexcoptlonrf, were among tlioso
who remained during tho epidemic.—Missistippian.

John A. Dix and the Slavery Question-
On the 4th inst., John A. Dix, of New York, deliv
ered an Bildress before an assemblage of the Demo
cracy at Tammany Hail. In tbe course of it, he thus
defined his position on the slavery question to be in
strict accordance with the anti-agitation platform laid
down by the National Democracy, in their convention
of Juno,1852 :
There is one subject on which I wish to say a sin
gle word—tbe compromise measures. The Democrat
ic party in this State has declared its approbation of
them as a settlement of the slavery question, which is
not to he disturbed. The declaration has been made
unreservedly and in good faith. We Intend to abvie
by it, and I will say for myself, as I know von will
alh ‘ ' "
_.Jow me to Bay for you, in tbe language of tne Balti
more Convention, Inal we will discountenance all fur-
ther agitation of the question " in or out of Congress.”
Monday week Congress will meet, and already the
eyes of the peoplo are turned in that direction. The
next session of Congress will be important. Most of
tbo Representatives come fresh from tho people, and
servo their first term. Tbo questions that will be
brought before them will receive just snob a meeting
as they would if they were to be decided by the public
themselves, for the Representatives will bear with
them sympathy direct from their constituents. The
present Administration will receive a cordial support;
lor if we run over the names of the members, wo
shall find a largo majority who havo never wavered
in their loyalty. Let tho opposing press utter forth
their loud declamations against tho unpopularity of
the President and his policy: the people have spoken
throughout tho country an approving voice, and no
fears need be entertained. Let us await the action of
Congress before wejgive vent to expressions which, in
the end, may prove incommodious to our feelings.—
