jg i jl i ' The Subterranean Wonders of the Western Alleghanian Slope. Tho Kanawha '‘Republican thus dis courses on this theme The subterranean wonders of the great Western Alleghenian slope contmue, from time to tame, to bo developed to the astonishment of the intelligent dwellers upon the surface. There oan be no doubt that Nature has had for centuries and still has, her workshops, or great laboratories, here and there un derneath the rirfhee^df the. great- re gion o f country,.‘embracing a large part of Western Pcnnsylvanii, Trans-Alle- -hanian Virginia, and parts of Ohio and Kentucky , in which she employs all her —jost potent ohenrical-agencies and af finities. The extent of her manufac tory of gasdowp in the" lower regions, near Holden, on tho Kanawha river maybe estimated by tjhefact that when in the spring of'1844, in boring a salt Veil, at the depth of 1>000 feeft the au gur strhok the reservoir of gas, the stream of gas that rose to the' upper surface was so powerful as to shoot the whole boring: apparatus, Consisting of one thousand feet of poles and a sinker weighing five hundred pounds, into the air,like an arrow. .The stream of gas is. ing up with unabated force, day night, for sixteen years. When ‘onroad is completed, this gas may imed to some account. PipeB may id along the road, so os to - light y night the whole road East 'to mond and west to Cincinnati, and then enough to spare to light up three cities. That in the some region there is an extensive subterranean manufactory of oil admits nc doubt. The oil t^ukes. its appearance on the water of our river, and in places comes up to the surfaoe of the earth.' Barrels of it have been Thus nature invites the search for the great reservoir that is doubtless way down below. The Secret of Exoland’s Greatness. It was a noble and beautiful answer of our Queen, says the British Workman, that she gave to an African prince, who sent an embassitge, with costly presents, and asked her in return to tell hint the secret of England’s greatness and Eng land’s glory; and our beloved Queen sent him not the number of her fleet, nor the number of her armies, not the details of her inexhaustihle wealth.— She did not, like Hezekiah, in an evil hour, show the embassador her dia mond^ and her rich ornaments, but handing him a beautifully bound copy of the Bible, she said, “Tell the Prince that this is theseoret of England’s mtnntvinca 99 Sugar-Making—-South-Western Ga —The editor of the Savannah Jtepub/i- «m I trtLreUing l fif South Western G&Oir gia, writes as .follows: “On mv way down , (through Lowndes county) L noticed several sugar-boilers, and learned that nearly all th^. sugar consumed ja made by the planters. It is said to be quite profitable, and thought by spine to be a better crop than cotton. It is hot sold by the pound, but by the barrel.. It is first packed away in flour or whiskey barrels, and then set aside to drip; after whioh a flour barrel full of sugar commands $15, and a whiskey barrel $20. Someare very expert, and luce on artiole not for behind, the sample of new sugars we see in, our )ourVJ(hd gallon^r- sufficient quantities tf^supply all home wonts, and is quite as muoh an article of food as with us. ‘ The ExcoinruNrcATiON iQF Victob Emanuel.—The Paris ConstituUonnel Btatoo that the Pope had addressed a monitory to King Victor Emanuel, intimating that henceforth' all relations between His Holiness and the Royal Family must be considered os broken off. That His Mqjesty will understand tb&t he has openly violated the laws of tho.Churoli, and is formally excommunicated.. The Holy Father reserves to himself the du ty of taking into consideration the in terests of the Universal Churohand the good Catholics of Piedmont, before pro ceeding to severer measures, whioh, in any event, weigh from henceforth upon the person of the King. Le Nord says, the moment the Pope's bull is fulmina ted, the cities of Milan, Genoa, Leghorn, Turin, Bologna and Florence, have agreed to' illuminate, and give the character of a national celebration to the event. A Douglas Crow.—A Washington wri ter says! “The friends of Mr. Douglas are in Washington in large numbers, and they crow loudly over the letter of Mr. Dim- inick, who, they say, is a convert from the strongholds of Buchanan. They are certain of the nomination of their favorite at Chorloston, whilst most Southern members are equally certain the other way. It is reported that Sen ator Clingman of North Carolina, ex presses the opinion that Mr. Douglas will win the nomination Judge Dmiglas lias again declar ed that he will indignantly refuse the Charleston nomination, if any attempt is made to put him on a slave-code plat form, or upon the Administration con struction of the Dred Scott Decision.— Cor, Phila.
