AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten fey the. ablest writers on evory
aubject. Printed from now tyde, and illustrat
ed with Several Thousand ‘Engravings and
The work originally published under the title
• vf The New American Cyclopredia was completed
in 1863, siuce which time the wide circulation it
has attained in all parts of the United States, and
the signal dcvelopments'which have taken place in
every branch of science, literature, and %rt, have
induced the editors and publishers to submit it to
an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a
new edition entitled The American Crei.OF.E-
ni*.
Within the lust ten years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
wade a new work of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political aflairs has-kept pace
with tho discoveries of .science, and their f rnitfnl
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience' and refinement of social life.—
Swat wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume of
the old work appeared, has happily Been ended,
and aneweourso of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accession! to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable explor
ers of Africa. ’
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of tho lapse ot time,
have brought iuto public view a mult.tudo of new
men, whose-names are.in.every one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important edges maintained, of which the de
tails are as yet preserved only in newspapers or
m the transient publications of tho day, but
which now ought to tatfh their places in perma
nent aud authentic history.
In preparing tho present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of tho editors to
bring down the information to the latest-possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the
mest recent discoveries in science, of every fresh
jiroductionin literature, and of the newest inven
tions in.thb "practical arts, as well- as to give a
succinct and original record of the progress of
Political and historical events.
The workhas been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful termi
nation. , *
None of the original, siel-cotjpe plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming* in fact a new Cyclopredia,
With the same plan and compass as its predecssor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, m.d-
with such.improvements in its composition as
nave been suggested. l>v longer experience and
eifiarged knowledge. •
tlmsiasm so necessary to carry forward
firmly and determinedly our first purposes
and undertakings.
After the first flush or starting point there
seems to be an inexcusable lack of will and
, . , , SLan
We have great cause to be ashamed of our
shameful past, and as a people, should feel
like bowing down in sack-cloth and ashes,
and beg the balance of mankind having
looked on at oar game of foliy-aud chance,
to excuse onr boyish" moves, which* per-
zeal, and too much of a disposition with all haps, has already proved the panacea to
of ns to look to somebody else to shape and* convince our judgments and open, a tiny
* ' ’ ray of'light in our yet dark and distant
carry out. the designs we helped to set on
foot. As an instant e and proof, I shall
simply make mention of the meagre atten
dance often in this Hall. Yet wefreqnerit-
ly quote the old adage, “Anything that
is worth doing is worth doing well.” still
we seem to plo.l along ignorant and happy.
Therefore ns your appointee os orator of
the day I hope you will exense'me for al
lowing my first heading to contain a few
“sideema" or “hints” to the m -mhers, my-,
Belfinelnded, of this Grange as to . the du
ties and. obligations devolving upon them.
No one will deny that in God’s creation
of Man He endowed him with a mind .and
sonl, placing him thereby far above all
other auimal or brute creation; and in do
ing which Hb certainly in His allwise good
ness and plans intended that he should fill
his placo or station in life among his fellew
men to £he best of his abilitj’ and measure
of talent given him: that he should ever be
ready and. willing to throw jn Jjis^mit^
however small to aid in forming^and sup
porting and sustaining u world*maqe up
of beings’ similar to himself and of one
great common family. We have only to
look around, and solemnly consider, to ac
cept this proposition as a troism. He who
dares deny it must be an atheist or a heath
en destitute of the power of reason and
thought. Moreover, to add to man’s com
forts and pleasures, and to encourage him
I shall c m’eiitl. to push forward in the good
work of civilization and prosperity He
made w >man anikplaced her by his side that
she might be to him a help meet—a com
forter in sickness andjiorrow, through trib
ulations and ’trials.
Nonetheless than did He iulend thatshe
too should have a pi ce in the world's are
na—a part to enact and a duty to perform
oi no lessimpurtiince, dignity or magnitude
than man’s mission: and it >s a self evident
fact lliut one without the other would be a
blank, a mere.noth lig—aud in a few fleet
ing j earso ly the world of man would cease
to exist. Ho would become a brute and ii
demon, riid it is hard to conjecture what
woman's fate would be,—whether an angel
or anything at all. Hence, the conclusion
is that it is a duty as much incumbent on
the one as the o'ber to till their different
stations in life properly, however "widely
apart may be their respective spheres of
action.
While we learn that man was flrst created
and so endowed with strength and nerve
that he might fell* the forest and till the
soil, yea that lie might-do battle with the
migl h’ armies oi his fellow men or serve
as gladiators for the amusement of the
same, we also leam that woman was crea
ted afterwards, aud so constituted as lo
make it not pivper or possible (o do these
tUiwrs. yet a duly has been assigned her
by God’s Decree equally important and
binding. Therefore, I sh ill contend that
nrither the one nor the other should seek
to avoid or shirk any duty or obligation
devolving upon them:
It is hum in nature, however, to shift
duties and re-poiisibilitics from its own
shoulders to that of its neighbor, or worse,
to trea: demands ai d obligations pressing
upon th>.-m with .even stolid indifference.
We are .all affected with tho same dec
ease, and so terribly much so that oni-
every interest is to (lav suffering and rle-
inanding.aloud for reaction aud change in
policy, so great, so decided and so effective
that »t may speedily prove not only a
“balm in Gilead” to heal the wounded
spirit but perchance fill tho empty pocket
It is high time we were all up and do rig,
that wo wake up to a hearty senso Qf onr
dut3% that we open our eyes to the dnties
that are ahead of us . and all around us,
that we sleep no longer so soundly and nn-
corscion-ly, for the “handwriting is on the
wall,” and onr dnom is sealed unless we
speedily replenish with oil and trim our
lamps anew.
And now the question very naturally
and properly arises: Eor what purpose
are we meeting here in this hail? Is it for
the sake of a little fun and pastime only—
a chance to gas with each other with no
ostensible r (fleet in view—an opportunity
to learn whether this man or the other may
have grass, grasshoppers or caterpillars in
his crop—what particular fashions are in
vogue—hat strange occurrences have taken
place since last we met? Is this all? Then
our seed is falling on barren .rocks, or on a
soil that will produce only weeds or thorns
to pierce onr own bare and unproiccted
feet in the future. Or is it with a serious
determine to tiy, at least, to learn how to
do something to be sailed, to ameliorate.our
troubles aud difficulties, to get our feet out
of the mire, our heads on t. of the financial
chaos, our honors from the boiling caul
dron, our boyish finaks into manly action
— our common sense into rapid activity,
and above all our empty pockets on the
other side of the question- and so for and

S:i3’ then, as some of them do, that you
are obliged to patronize them because of
their capital and cau’t get along without
t. Airily with such stuff, and after meet-,
ing li-.s year’s expenses, better cut down
lo one mule aud plough that yourself than
eontinuo as we have been doing. Let us
force them to soe that we have some rights
and will in the future-take care of ourselves
by raising our own provisions: bacon, corn,
oats, wheat rye, potatoes,-etc., in feet ev
erything we need and can raise. Some
formers may have been too stupid .to nu r
derstund the working of these rings and
monopolies, bat God grant; that tie e3 r es
of most of them have bean opened to see
their doom written in blazingysipitols.
And does any sane man pretend to say
that we cannot raise almost ever3 r thing nec
essary to render, comfort and prosperity to
any country, and make it the greatest even.,
of the great? No clime on earth possesses
greater advantages than this very section,

liberally when fed and nurtured by its hus
bandman, no people that were once more
magnanimous and liberal, and none braver
who ever drew sword to defend a home aud

Then do awaj’ with despondenc3’ and
lethargy and go ye croakers and ask of the
rocks to hide you, throw off your mantle
of pretended manhood and take your s.-ats

once were.', far your superiors. Go look

and cialm-not again that vdii' are filling

let us re assert or.r rights and take our
proper places back with the North Ameri
can States, yea, with the nations of the
earth, not with the savor J as a w’tapbif, bat
with it beat info ploughshares, and by an
activity and consequent prosperity that will
make our worst of enemies respect and
fear us. Let ns pull off onr coats and by
the muscle and^weat of the broav show to
them that we are men among men and that
no obstacle however great shall bow us
down nor force us to coaver under misfor
tune's leash like a spaniel before a tyrant.
Let the cry of make way for freedom by
retrenchment and reversion, of silliness aud
folly into common sense and manly oper
ation be heard throughout the length and
breadth of the fond. Down with monopo-

sucking the life-blood of the agriculturist
and bringing dismay, disorder and ruin
upon onr once prosperous land—poa’erty to
the very doors of its people and left honor
lying slain af their feet.
Let us acknoavledge ourselves, if need be,
as having been the greatest of fools and

The New Otaanj Disc aver'ess
The late: discoveries of guano on
out to be very 'important.;. It is esti
mated that the islands of Lobos de
Teirra and Lobos de Ai'uem • contains
600,000 and 500,000 respectively, none
of which has been worked. ’There
are two islands which are being,
worked, the Maeab and Guanape, oil
which remains : 215,000 and 200,000
tans. This gives 1,515,000 tans for
the northern deposits. The estimat-
mnch bnrry, bustle and confusion, ac- but has never been completed on ac-; p or t<; moI itb we took a Ferry boat,
companied with a great deal of pleas- j conut of the impoverished condition '
ant excitement; I rose from my rest-, of the tax payers and looks very
less pillow at the hoar of 2 a. jl, to , dilapidated; having more the appear-
meet Mrs. L., and Mr. B., at the de
pot with-trunk and lunch basket pack
ed for the trip. At iqnr o’ctaclr the
noise of the train was heard at a dis
tance and we were on our way to Ma
con; which place we reached at 6 a. m.
Failing to arrive in time to get our
ticket for. the round trip to the great
metropolis, we had to remain over un
to spend the day with some friends.
She accordingly went_ to Judge N’s.,
and I to Mr. FV The families were
both glad to see us, and the day was
spent very pleasantly with them. At
a quarter past seven we again met at the
depot where we found Mr. B., waiting
for os with tickets already secured tor
the whole trip.
At the car shed we fortunately met
with Mrs. W. Anderson and her
dunghter Lizzie, who were on their
way to South Carolina to visit some of
their friends and . relatives, We had
quite a pleasant time with them.
When we arrived in Augusta it was
half past five in the. morning; where
we remained until seven; then we took
the train for Columbia S. C. At
Granitesville we stopped long enough
to'eat breakfast; While waiting, Mr.
B., aud our party crossed a littlejbridge
that spanned a beautiful canal, to see
a cotton factory. The grounds were
perfectly ^beautiful. The flower beds-
were arranged in a variety of shapes,
and bordered with boxavood, which
was very tall and nicely trimmed.
There avas also a choice variety of
flowers iu full bloom, which added
much to the beauty of the place.
Near the center of the yard was un
Equestrian, it is said the reason wby
the yard ig so beautiful, is because it
avas owned by a private family avlio.
took great pains in adorning and beau
tifying the ground.
We reached Columbia, at . half past
tavelve, avhere ave found a carriage in
readiness to take us to Mrs. Bryan’s,
avlio is an aunt of Mr. B’s. She give
us a hearty welcome,-aud an excellent
dinner, which reminded nsiu the gen
erous hospitality of the happy driYS-of
our fathers. At five o’clock a Phae
ton with two beantiful bays was se
cured by our . thoughtful friend Mr.
B., for the purpose of taking a ride
over the city, as all too well know,
aa’iis OLce most entirely destroyed ,by
the vandals- under co inmand of "Sher
man . The first buildings , that at
tracted our attention, were those that
were called the tenement block; be
cause they |wA e put uphy one man. who
was a wealthy citizen for the pnrpose
of letting them out to tenants. They
were built on the cottage style witn
six rooms Id each aud were arranged
in eight rows, with eight houses in
each row, making a perfect square.
They were neat aud pretty, and -avere
built exactly alike.
Next we passed the Executive M!au-
sion, which was formerly the residence
of the noble and chivalrous Gen Wade
Hampton; a name that will be honor
ed as long as South Carolina is inhabi
ted by any of the brave ones who
have shared the same fate of the snb-
jngated South. This house which
was once so often frequented by the
best blood of the State, is now occu
pied by Gov. Moses, a Radical of the
meanest strife. The house is built of
brick and is beautiful; the yard is
more than beautiful; it is lovely to be
hold. It was tastefully laid . off and
planted With the choicest flowers,, and
watered by two pretty fountains plac
ed on each side of the jard. There
auce of an old, than of a neav anif' un
finished edifice.
The Methodist Female College is a
large briek building situated in an
oak grove, with the ground covered in
grass. There are several bailings
connected with the main College; the
Presidents being the most handsome
of them all; These buildings are the
rnly ones that escaped the ruthless
hands of Sherman's army. We saw
at a distance the remnant of the Ciin-
federiite building, which was com
menced to be used as a mint. It still
remains like it was left at the close
of the war; with only one story
erected.
In Columbia lives one of the United
States representatives in Congress who
is a negro by the name of Elliott,
He has a wife and several daughters;
lives in an excellent building two sto
ries high with a mansard roof, and
windows with a veranda in front; a
tastefully arranged flower -yard with
summer houses and a green house,
avhich is filled with choice exotics.
His barn is a two story house with an
observatory and Venetian blinds. It
is said when bis wife goes out she
dresses in elegant silks, and rides in a
beatifulFbi'eton driven by a servant
dressed in livery, md drawn by fine
horses.
Neiglo the Shite Treasurer is anoth
er negro who lives iu great stale, and
occupied the house used by Sheiman
ns liis headquarters aahile iu Colum
bia.
Nash, a negro who is a representa
tive in the State Assembly, lives, iu n
large house with all the modern ; ini
__ F _- and create - was trained chqiet> .vines, making the
- cbee " whole scene look very inviting. But
alas! das! these beantiful works would
have been inviting to, the eye of the
stranger, but for the sickening sad
Africa setting by the side of Moses Ihier
lawgiver. But he is not the law giver
of the Isrealites iu whom there
is no guile, but in whom there is noth
ing but rottenness, death an blight in
habited by these unfortunate creatures.
These sons sons of Ham seemed to
have a pleasaut time with their friend
Moses, laughing-aud talking together
as one brother would another. Moses’
heart is buieJr aud. his face ought to be
also.
Alanhasset, for Norfolk- We handed
at pier in ft few minutes, took a hack
and went to the Atlantic a large fine
Hotel well funislied. A large nice
front "room was given us;, we. retired
early; when wo awoke next morning
to our great gratification the sun was
shining brightly. We avent into . the
Indies ordinary where we had a excel
lent breakfast, and every attention
shown us by tidy colored waiters,
with snow white jackets and aprons
on. As soon as breakfastwas over we
walked down to the wharf through
the Norfolk market which to onr ss-
tonishraent was larger than we ex 1
expected to see. While waiting at
the whaf for the ferry boat we saw
too sisters of charity with their black
dresses, long, large white bonnets on.
going on tlieir errands of mercy. We
took our boat for Portsmonth, and on
way to the Navy we passed throngh
Portsmouth’s market. We found
many large W termelons selling from
one, to five cents a piece; I never saw
so many at one sight before. The en
trance to the Navy yard is a large
three story building. The park is
quite pretty with a beautiful platan
of green grass. Here we saw many
cannons and balls lying in large
heaps which were used in our late war;
some weighing as much us five thous
and pounds.
These are keptTis relics, and look
ed upon by every visitor with a great
ileal of pleasure. From this park we
went to the Navy yiud, where, we saw
the Workmen constructing ships. We

venturers who contemplate going
there is to wait a little and ascertain
whether there, is any probability that
the bunting for gold is liable to the
result in finding any. If it should
turn ont that th 2 gold does not exist
in payring quantities in the valleys
of these Black Hills, there are several
things to be made or at least saved—
which the proverb says is equal to
making—by staying at home. Among
these things are scalps, railroad fares,
aud other sundries. The reason why
so much excitement has been created
by the- discovery of a Jew grains

doabtless owing to the general inter

shooting and the loss of some lives.
Gold has been discovedbv scientific
men in a hundred other places west of
theMississippi-without causing theleast
anxiety on the part of onr Eastern ad-

be borne in mind that the
