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 high out of reach of rings, monopolies, warehouses and hanks, that their bony. future; and that though we have had a good country all the timfwithout a people, so to speak, we may y^t make a people of the fragments left that will in some foture day still be proud to cull this their own, na tive, Sunny South—tueir own home and fireside.

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.

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.

This gives 1,515,000 tans for the northern deposits.

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 also saw a large ship of war from France. After looking af tho great variety of a’essels we returned to the hotel and refreshed ourselves wilh a large melon.

It is very likely-that the Black Hills country is a very good place tor gold- hnneing, But onr advice to the ad 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 of gold' by Cnster’s men is doabtless owing to the general inter est to the general public in any enter prise avhich is likely to involve a little 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- a’enturere. And besides it should be borne in mind that the Black Hills reservation at present be longs to the Iiidiaus by treaty with the United States, and that white men are not allowed to enter them without permits procured in the regu lar way. was also a. summer Jiouse upon which ing glass between each window.

That ave may de- Tive both pleasure aud nntrimeut, judi cious mauagement on tho part or the cook is essential. Select a fat and tender sirloin, pound it well.and place it on a griddle oyer a bed of hard wood coals; sprinkle a little suit on it and allow it to broil until the juice is seen on the-upper side; then lift it off the griddle so that the juice may be saved on the platter and turn it ofi the griddle agaiu, for a raiment oiily; then place on the platter, and lay on it a few thin slices of saveet butter- Srrve immediately with batter-toast or fried potatoes. If steak is co®ked hard and dry all the best qmilities of it are lost; and one might as well feed on chips. Five or six minutes is suf ficient time to eook a steak, aud the hitter the coals the better; unless cook ed qnickly avith great heat it will be tough and unpalatrble.
