Newspaper Page TextSea Serpent. —We learn from the Savannah ~pe r* that on Sunday aftornoon last, about 5 t ,clock, as the steamer Wm. Scabrook, Captain JJIaneENSHIP, was passing Broad River, about thirty miles North of Tybce Light, bound from Charleston for Savannah, those on board the boat saw at the distance of several hundred yard 3 ahead what they at first took to be a floating |ng. As the boat neared it, however, they dis curered it to be a living something, lying appa rently still, partly submeiged in the water; and as they came still closer, it assumed the appear ance so often described by those who profess to have 6cen the Sea Serpent. The passengers and others describe it as being of a dark, muddy co lor, with a head somewhat resembling that of an aligator, 10 to 15 feet in length, which was en tirely out of water. The body, which describ ed a curve as it lay in the water, discovered nu merous bumps of the size of a hogshead rising out of the water, by which they were enabled to make an estimate of its length, which they state at !40 to 150 feet. Capt. Blankenship, in order to gratify his passengers and crew with the best possible view of the sea monster, made a circuit round him, passing within 20 or 30 feet of it, during which bis Snakcship seemed to take no notice of the Jvessel. After holding himself o n exhibition until the boat s crew had enjoyed a full view of him, he slowly sunk be neath his native element. As the steamer pass ed on her course, the serpent again emerged from the water, and leisurely directed his course Southward. Michigan ani> California. — Mr. Cass pre. tented in the Senate, on the Bth inst., the joint resolutions of the Legislature of Michigan in structing the Senators from that State, to vote for the immediate admission o( California us a State into the Union. Uj* From Lieut. Davis’ lecture at tlio Smith senian Institute, it appears that the source of tho tides is to be sought in the great reservoir of ocean round the Southern Pole. This polar re servoir is agitated on opposite sides by the moon in its alternate upper and lower transits, and by the sun in less degree. Here the great central agitation seems to commence, and hence on all sides it seems to flow northward. The Railroad. —We are gratified to learn, says the Knoxville Whig, that the work on the Georgia and East Tennessee Railroad is steadi ly progressing, and our information is, that by the first of June, it will he ready for the Rails from Dalton, to the liiwassec river. It requires hut little timo to lay down the iron, when every tiling is in readiness. With one of the freight cars intended for the Road, they will start out at Dalton, and carry forward the rails upon the road, ns fast as it is completed. Several miles can be laid down in a day. The directors, at a meeting well attended in Athens, on Thursday last, was a week ago, re elected A D. Keys, President, and R. C. Jack son, Secretary. The board adjourned to meet again on Friday the Bth of March, when a gen eral attendance is desired as the Company ex pel to enter into arrangements at once to com plete the Road to Blair’s Ferry. Thr Woodworth Planing Machine. —Tlic Committee on Patents in the Senate of the U. States, have decided against the renewal of this patent. This is an interesting item of intelli gence to inventors generally, as the Woodworth patent has hitherto been a subject of almost in terminable legal litigation. Relics or Washington. —Robert G. Scott, Esq , in his delivery of the oration on the occa sion of laying the corner stone of the Washing, ton Monument at Richmond, on the 22d ult., unfolded a small garment of the finest texture, which “ the wind carried out upon its bosom as ifitliadbecn silk.” “This.” said Mr. Scott “is the blanket in which General Washington when an infant was wrapped up, on his lining baptised into the Church of Christ. Here, too,” added the speaker, holding up the insignia which were in his hands, “ here is the Masonic scarf and apron, made at La Grange, by Madame dc Lafayette, and presented by General Lafayeltei to his Masonic brother, General Washington, mid worn by him when officiating as Master of * Lodge in Alexandria.” A Question eor the Curious. —The Bucks County (Pa.) Intelligencer says that some two or three weeks ago, a couple of wood-choppers, in cutting down a white oak tree on one of the wood lots recently sold by Joseph Carrol, in Warwick township, discovered near the centre of the tree, three chesntits perfectly sound and fresh, and presenting all the appearances to sight end taste, of chcsmits recently taken from their parent tree. The trunk of the tree where they were found was about three feet over, perfectly sound and solid, and wood separated tho ches nuts from each other. The age of the tree, as indicated by the growths in the wood, was about one hundred and fifty years. How did the chesnuts get thcro and what preserved them from decay while being enclosed in their safety box, is a question for the curious. Phknomlnak ib Oregon. —ln tho Cascade fountains, in the month of November, there wore heard loud reports, like distant thunder, "nd immediately after, Silver Creek dried up for twenty.four hours. When the water did resume its course, it was so thoroughly impregnated with alkaline substances as to have the appear ance of Rtrong Icy, and also to cause the death of the fish in the stream. About the time of tho occurrence, strong winds prevailed from tho south, a heavy fall of ashes was noticed in most parts of the valley,and a denso cloud of smoko settled in the atmosphere, shutting out the light °f the sun for nearly a week. CP Books of subscription to the Rail Road between Pensacola and Montgomery, havcbccn opened in the former place, and stock to the “mount of $200,000 subscribed. Lnor.v.ra. -The Mobile Register says;— I here was considerable excitement at Mont, fiomory on Saturday Inst, in consequence of the bolera among slaves on plantations near that "y- Wc learn dial some 15 to 20 cases were ' ln| tounccd up to Saturday night ” Tiie Isthmus. — A gentleman of Cincinnati, with his partner, have sent foward to Chngres 300 mules and seven barges, the whole to form a line for the transportation of goods from Cha gres to Panama. The boats are to he used on the Cruces, and are something in the snape of whale-boats- We learn that butter and other articles are now being put up in St. Louis in suitable packages for mule carriage. A plan is also in view for conveying meats, poultry, etc., over the Isthmus in packages which have a sur face of charcoal composition on them to preserve them pure and sweet. Singular Circumstance. —The Natchez (Miss.) Courier, says : The killing of a fine, fat, stall-fed beef, a few days since, on the planta tion of Mr. JolinO. Hutchins, Second creek, in this county, revealed a rather remarkable cir cumstance. In the stomach of the animat killed, were found twenty-six six penny nails , all without tho slightest particle of rust upon them. The animal was in the finest possible health. llow the nails got wlipre they were found, or how the stomach of the beef relished the indi gestible articles, is more than we can imagine. Bj 5 ’ An exchange says, millions of pigeons have been filling the woods for miles around Franklin, Tcnn., for several weeks past. They have a roost several miles in extent in the edge of Hickman county, and, with a torch and club, the people sally forth at night and bring home their game by meal-bags full. A Petrified Body. —A subject which bad been buried five or six years, was taken up a few days since, says the Houston (Miss ) Re publican, for the purpose of removing to a dif ferent location, and found in a high state of pet rifaction. It required the strength of six or eight men to raise thecoflin from the vault; this caused them to open it, when to their great sur prise, they found it to contain a form of stone. With the exception of the fingers, part of one of the feet, and a small spot under the position of the hands, which had decayed before the petri faction bad taken place, the body was apparent ly a solid stone. This circumstance occurred in this county, seven or eight miles north of this [dace, and presents a problem for scientific solu tion. Notable Death. —The Newark, N. J. Ad vertiser notices the death in that city, at the age of 96 years, of Samuel Baldwin, born in that town in 1751, Ihe descendant of one of the earliest settlers. Among bis fellow students at tbe College of New Jersey, were President .Madison, Philip Freneau, Aaron Burr, and others of like distinction. Being appointed College Usher at the early age of sixteen, he numbered among his pupils Alexander Hamil ton. When the Declaration of Independence was declared,Mr. Baldwin was in Philadelphia, and in the crowd who first heard it proclaimed from the old Independence Hall. While teach ing a classical academy at Charleston, he be came acquainted with the first Col. Hayrte, whose execution by the British so greatly exci ted the indignation of the American people. After the capture of Charleston, he became a prisoner in the bands of the British, and refus ing to take the oath of allegiance to the crown, was obliged to leave the place. Patent Hoors.—A machine has lately been invented for making hoops, which bids fair to do away the necessity of growing hoop-poles, hereafter. Any rough, straight-grained timber, will answer the purpose. It is first sawn into square strips, the width desired for the hoop; these strips arc next turned round, like a hoc handle, and then slit through the centre. Each stick thus makes two half-round hoops. They are then stean.ed and bent. Casks hooped with them, present an extra-neat appearance. The whole work is done by machinery. Just pre vious to setting ihem,iiis necessary to wet them in cold water. A specimen of these hoops was exhibited at. the late Agricultural Show, at Syra cuse, N. Y. UJPTIio Supreme Court of Louisiana has de cided that a planter who ships his crop to one factor, after having contracted for its consign ment to another, from whom lie has received supplies and accommodations, based on a prom ise to ship, is bound to allow commissions to the factor whom ho deceives. Female Culture. —The great entertainments ofall ages arc reading, conversation and thought If our existence after middle life is not enriched by these, it becomes meagre and dull, indeed. And these will prove sources of pleasure just in proportion to previous intellectual cul ture. How is that mind to have subject matter of pleasurable thought,during its solitary hours, which has no knowledge of the treasures of lit erature and science, which has made no exten. sivc acquaintances with the distant and the past! And what is conversation between those who know nothing ! But on tho other hand, what delight is that mind able to receive and impart, which is able to discuss any topic that comes up, with accuracy, copiousness, eloquence and beauty ! The woman who possesses this power can never fail to render herself agreeable and useful in any circle into which she may be thrown, and when she is so, she cannot (ail to be happy. A full mind, a large heart, and an eloquent tongue, arc among the most precious human things. The young forsake their sports and gather round, the old draw nigh to hear, and all involuntarily bow down to the suprema cy of mind. These endowments add brilliancy to youth and beauty, and when nil other charms are departed, they make old age sacred, venera ble, beloved. The Pilot Boat Savannah —Tho Savan nah Republican of the 12th insl. states that this boat which went out in search of the vessel in which it was supposed Mr. G. J. Bulloch, the absconding Cashier, had sailed, returned on Sunday evening, 10th inst. Tho Captain re ports that he went about six hundred miles, but saw nothing of the Abel, the vessel referred to. (PJ’A Telegraphic line will soon be extended from Atlanta, through Marietta to Chattanooga, mid thence to tho West Tui Arts. —The Patent-office Report is quite a creditable production. Mr. Ewbank lias given Congress a poetical description of the origin and progress of invention, and the vast obligations mankind are under to inventors and discoverers. Ail the zeal substantial prosperity in the world be attributes to the mechanic arts, and looks for greater progress in practical science under free institutions, as in most parts of the world philo sophical inquiry and stirring enterprise have been checked and cramped by political oppression. Leave the arts free, says he, and the world can never become a desert again. The following is a specimen of the character of the report, and tiie facts and suggestions it contains : “The power inventors wield is not less mani fest in the changes they have wrought in the habits, customs and occupations of females, than it is obvious in the pursuits of the other sex, ill the out-door world. They have not only brok en up the time-honored arrangements of the kitchen, wash house and dairy, but have inva ded the parlor and boudoir. A century ago the rock and spindle were common; in Europe are women who still twist thread with their lingers. Fifty years since the wheel had a place in every dwelling, and carding no less than spinning, was a domestic duty. With thrifty house-wives the shuttle, too, was not a stranger. Within twenty years knitting was indispensable; not a few of our farmers slill wear home made hose. Then straw-plating, tambour-working, lacc making, plain and fancy embroidery, with other delicate operations of the needle, were and are still taught as necessary accomplishments. Such they will hardly he held much lunger, since these and various other performances are now done by automatic fingers, with a precision, re gularly, dispatch, delicacy of touch and finish, that no human organs can rival. “ Most, if not all, the Fine Arts have been subdued by mechanism. The lathe is still to he met with in its primitive forms, in the potter’s wheel, the spring pole, and in the modern Egyp tiuns’s arteloior—(seated on the ground, this artist employs one hand to revolve the object to be formed, holds the cutting tool in the other, and presses it on tho rest with his toes.) The lathe, so long confined to shape articles whose ■sections were circles, now produces oval, clipti cal, epicycloidal and eccentric work, copies me dallions, and even busts, in equal, enlarged or reduced proportions—performing the work of the engraver, die-sinker, and statuary or sculp tor. “The richest figured tapestry and damask in relief are now produced by magic mechanism. Looms rival the palette and burin ; beside gor geously-colored earpets they weave landscapes equal to oil-paintings, and and potraits after the finest line engravings. Then, from the increase in number of sc wing-inacliines, the time would seem not distant when the needle itself and thimble will be exhibited in museums with dis taffs, spinning-wheels, knitting wires, tambour frames, hand-looms, lacc-making-bobbins, spitl ons, and other antiquarian curiosities, as evi dences of imperfect civilization. In chromo lithography, automaton artists rival the finest touches of old masters, and shortly will multi ply by millions their most esteemed produc tions.” Burns and Scalds. —Scarcely a week passes, says the New Fork Commertial Advertiser, in which the feelings of newspaper readers arc not painful* excited by published accounts of dreadful accidents by fire, or steam,or ofboiling water. We are confident, therefore, of render ing a service to humanity, by giving larger publicity to the following passage from a highly interesting paper in the last number of the Amcri. can Journal of the Medical Sciences, being the “Notes of Hospital l’ractice at Bellevue,” by D. M. Reese, M. D. resident physician : “ Burns —Among the most numerous cases brought into the surgical wards of charity hospi tals, everywhere, may be recorded the injuries received by burns and scalds, which, when ex tensive, are too often fatal. In the treatment of these injures we have had great experience, and uniform success, when the patients were brought in soon after the injury. No fatal case of recent burn or scald has oocured in the hospi tal, although several have been extensive and severe. The universal treatment of all such cases is to cover the parts with wheaten flour, thrown over tiie wounds by a dredging-box, which, if throughly done so as to exclude the air, and prevent its temperature from reaching the suffering tissues, wiii afford instant relief from pain, and allay all that nervous irritation which is the chief source of immediate danger in all cases of extensive burns. We have bad op portunity to test this practice in terrible burns occasioned by explosions of gunpowder, in scalds from the bursting of steam boilers, in examples of persons while drunk falling into the fire, and others in which the clothes were burnt off the entire body by the combustion of spirit gas, Stc. 11l all these cases, and in some of them scarcely any portion ofthe body had esca ped—and notwithstanding, in a few of them, the integuments were literally baked, so that ex tensive andjdccp-scatcd supperation and slough ing were inevitable, and had afterward to be endured—the external application of the flour was in tho first instance our only re medy, and this was continued for one or more days, while the acute effects ofthe injury demanded it. The superficial portions of the burns or scald would often heal under this application alone ; and the solutions of continuity, more orlessdeep, which remained open and discharging, were then dres sed with lime water and oil, by means of a feath er, to which creosote was .added if the granula tions were slow, or the sloughs tardy in bcroinc ing loose. Under this dressing the most formi dable burns have been healed ; and even when the face lias been involved, there inis been scar cely any considernble deformity. In one of our patients, the face being horribly burned by an accidental explosion of gunpowder, the grains of powder having been imbedded in tho skin, very great appcchensions were indulged that the discoloration thus produced would perma nently disfigure and deform the countenance. But, after the persistent application of the flour for three successive days, and until tbe tumefac tion of the face and head had subsided, it was found that, with a few applications of the lirno water dressing, the cicatrization was complete, and even the discoloration was removed. If this simple remedy was resorted to in the severe scalds sometimes occuring from explo sions of steamboat boilers, &c., there can be little doubt that the fataility of such burns would be very rare ; while the popular and mishievous methods of applying raw cotton, oil, molasses, salt, alchohol, spirits of turpentine, sugar of lead water, ice, &c.,to extensive and deep burns are, all of them, injurious, and often destructive to life. Mr. Cobb and Mr. VVinthrop. —The Mas sachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, in its annual Report, pays this compliment to Mr. Cobb, tho present Spcnkcroftlic ilouso : “In regard to the present sluveholding Speaker of the House, it is a curious and instructive fact, that Cobb lias given more weight to the anti-slavery clement of tho House than was done by his Northern pre decessor, Mr. WINIHROP.” |TT A sleain Cotton Factory is to he built at Madison, Morgan county, in this State, $60,000 having already been subscribed. The Atnosfhere. —The Scientific American says:—The atmosphere rises above us with its cathedral dome arching toward* the heavens of which its most familiar synotnc and sym bol. It floats around us like that grand subject which the Apostle John saw in his vision : “a sea of glass like unto crystal.” So massive is it, that when it begins to stir, it tosses about great ships like play-lhings, sweeps cities and forest like snow flakes, to destruction before it. And yet it is so mobile, that we have lived years in it before we can persuade it exists at all, and the great bulk of mankind never realize the truth that they are bathed in an ocean of air.— Its weight is so enormous that iron shivers be fore it like glass, yet a soap-ball sails through it with impunity, and the tinest insect waves it with its wings. We touch it not, but it touches us ; its warm south wind brings back color to the pale face of the invalid ; its cold west winds refresh the fevered brow, and make the blood mantle in our checks ; even its north blasts brace into new vigor the hardened children of our rug ged clime. The eye is indebted to it for all the magnificence of sunrise, the full brightness of mid-day, the chastened radianco of the gloaming, and the clouds that cradle near the setting sun. But for it the rainbow would want its triumphal arcll, and the wind would not send their fleecy messengers on errands round the heavens The cold either would not shed its snow feathers on the earth, nor would drops of dew gather on the flowers. The kindly rain would never fall— hail, storm, nor fog diversify the face of the sky. Our naked globe would turn its tanned unshad owed forehead to the sun, aud one dreary mon otonous blaze of light and heat dazzle and burn up all things. Ail Earthquake in Nicaragua. I.eon De Nicaragua, Dec. 26, 1849. A press of business has prevented mo from transmitting you my llicrmometrical and other observations for the past three months ; but 1 will endeavour, at an early day, to make an ab stract oftliem for the use of the institution. Residing in this volcanic region, you can readi ly comprehend that 1 have been, per furre much interested in the subject of earthquakes. I need not tell you that they are of frequent occurrence here, and probably that class of phenomena could nowhere be studied with greater advantage. I have experienced several, but with one excep tion, they were very slight. The exception here referred to,’ occurred on tho 27th of October last, at about 1 o’clock in the morning. I was roused from sleep by a strong undulatory motion, which was sufficient ly violent to move my bed several inches back wards and forth on the rough paved floor, and to throw down books und other articles, which had been placed on my table. The tiles of the roof were also rattled together violently and the beams and rafters cracked like the tim bers of a deeply laden vessel in a heavy sea. The people all rushed from their houses in the greatest alarm, and commenced praying in loud tones. Tho domestic animals seemed to share the general consternation ; the horses struggled as if to loose themselves, and the dogs commen ced a simultaneous barking. This undulatory motion lasted nearly a minute, steadily increas ing in violence, until suddenly it changed in to a rapid vibratory or horizontal motion, which rendered it difficult to stand upright. This lasted about thirty seconds, and was fol lowed as suddenly by a vertical movement, or series ofshockß, such as one would experience in being vapidly let down a flight of steps ; then declined in violence, but nevertheless seemed to stop abruptly. The whole lasted about two minutes, and can be compared to nothing except the rapid movement ofa large and loaded railroad car on a bad track,in which there are undulations, horizontal irregularities, and breaks. No considerable damage was done. Some old walls were thrown down, and in various places around the country I have observed that rocks were detaclioJ and portions of cliffs bro ken oft'by the shocks. The thick adobe walls of my house were cracked in several places, from top to bottom. Many other buildings suffered in like manner. The motion which seemed most dangerous to me was that which I have des cribed as horizontal, in which tiie earth seemed to slide away from beneath my feet. The night was clear moonlight, and it was very stiii; not a breath of air seemed stirring. The orange trees in my court yard, during the continuance of the undulations, swayed to and fro,with a steady, regular motion, but when tho other motions followed, they had an unstea dy or tremulous motion. The water in my well which is very deep, seemed also much agitated. The direction of the undulations was from north to south,* and they were felt throughout the en tire State of Nicaragua, and in Honduras, and San Salvador, and even, perhaps, beyond these limits. I learn from old residents here, that, as com pared with the others which have occurred with in the last quarter of a century, this earthquake ranked about 7, the maximum being 10. All observers here concur in saying that, while earthquakes are common at all times of (lie year, they are much more numerous and violent at the entrance and close of the two seasons, the wet and the dry ; that is, about tho last of October and the first ofNovomber and the last of April and the first of May. They arc observed as par ticularly numerous and strong after the heavy rains, at the close of the wet seasonin October. It is observed that a general quiet seems to pre vail, for a period, both before and after their oc currence. It is difficult to discover the connexion be tween these different phenomena, but there seems to be a concurrence as to the facts here stated. It is certainly true that the only shocks which I have felt were in the periods indicated, and it isalso certain that nearly all occur in thenight. Perhaps, amidst the occupations and distractions of the'day, the lesser ones pass unobserved. I am, sir, your obedient servant, E. Geo.Squier.
