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. jirtamtie agMtlnf* IMnumUo ndjountnwnt, tba DwoonUo. putt* met, Thondv »W>‘. »< u » Vr.n.1).

The federal govern 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, bonds, to be issued in tho construction, that is. 2,000- 000 acres to pay tho principal, and 260,000 acres for tho interest.

W. W. WASH, Sen'y B. C. P. R. C. C. Savannah, November Slit, 1863. nov22—td 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.

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, so crashing. 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.

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 and fertile, well timbered and watered, and is admi rably adapted lor settlement and cultivation. There are large quantities of stone in the bluffs suitable either for building or fencing. Should the Pacific Railroad be located through Nebraska, this magnifi cent country will be speedily and thickly settled by enterprlBing farmers. They need no other stimulus to induce them to go there and build up a State than tho natural advantages which the face of the coun try presents.

Ho- was taken to Nordby, and carefully tended ; but died there on tho 9th. In his wanderings ho continually repeated the Inscription of a medal ho wore, “ Let every man do his duty.”— It la supposed that tho vessel had been bound from Hull to Hamburg, and was lost in the storm of the night of September 26th—Foreign Paper. 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 purpose.

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 the exact amount of truth contained in the vague rumors of disease and death bo freely circulated. Dr. McNicl. on behalf of the Special Committee of Phy sicians, submitted tho annexed report, which was adopted: Tun Committee, composed of the physicians, mem bers of the Board of Henltii, appointed to propose what course of action they should take with regard to the alleged existence of cholera in onr cily, beg 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.

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.

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.— Norfolk Argus, 26th. Religious Intelligence.— 1 The Right Bev.
