NO man in the world possesses greater qualifications for to vast and laborious u work than Prof. Williams, and no English man can be mentioned who may be said to approximate Ills stnndaid of Oriental, and particularly Sanskrit scholarship A little over a half century ago Wilson gave to the world his dictionary of the Sanskrit language, ami since that time, though full of inaccuracies and awkward blunders, It lias been the chief guide to Kugli h apeak - iug Orleulul acliolni . Wilson’s labors are not to lie lightly spoken of. Few men can appreciate yie labor of compiling a dic tionary of a language, where the sources of information arc as various and contra dictory us they have proved to lie unrelia ble. liut Wilson Inhl (lie foundation for ns to build upon. He hluzcd the way into the vast wilderness, us the Isild, adventur out pioneer, and lalcr scholars have no languugu sufficiently grand lo express their obligations to him. Our old friend and lulor, Monier Wil liams, partakes too much of Wilson’s spir it to dispnruge his work, or to speak light ly of that smirching acliolurnhlp which lirst opened the bra/eu gales of the Impen etrable treasury of Saoskiit love—to boy ish minds. In the following paragraph Prof. Williams from u noble English head and heart, words that Mux Muller and the Korbo's and the (loldwin Smith s would do well to ponder, and, if possible, profit, by. Let me hero [ho guys] assert most em phatically, not only that, considering the condition of Sanskrit scholarship w hen it was compiled, Professor Wilson’s was a wonderful production, hut (hat, like many oilier scholars, 1 could never have learnt Sanskrit at all without its aid. Nevertheless, sincerity obliges me lo confess, wluit other lexicographers may perhaps admit to he not without u pitiallel in their ow n men tal history, that my mind Ims hud to pass through a kind of puinful discipline in volving a gradual weakening of faith iu the performances of my fellow men, not excepting those of my vcucruted teacher. 1 began. Indeed, with much confidence in the thought that one man existed on whom ] could lean us an almost infallible guide , hut us .the work grew under my hands, uud my sensitiveness to error sharpened, 1 discovered lo my surprise that I was compelled to reject much of his teaching as doubtful. Moreover the truth must lie told, Hiatus I advanced further my trust fulness iu others besides my old muster began to experience occasional disagrees hie uml unexpected shocks ; till, now that 1 have arrived at the end of my wink, 1 find myself left with my confidence in tho accuracy of human beings generally— certainly not excepting myself—rather painfully disturbed Now these are honest words, and our old tutor will excuse us for reminding him of what lie so often takes occasion to reminds these who arc.proud of hia friendship—the growth of intellect nnd the facilities of acquiring accurate knowedge. One hun dred years from uow, one grandson or great grandson tuay flue) fatal defects in Prof. William's Dictionary of Sanskrit, hut such a discovery will not weaken the grrat lexicographic's claims upon the con fidence aud gratitude of mankind, or de clare Ids present performance the acciden tal jumble of a pedant. It is useless to speak of the great difll cullies overcome hy Mouicr Williams in the progress of his great work. We re joice with him that the god is born. Xo scholar can ullbi and to do without it, nnd students of philosophy aud tlis human rare, will never cease to thunk the llodcu Professoi lor the great boon which lie Ims conferred upon thtui. With this work extnnt, the desire to know something of the dark language nnd the treasures it coutsius, will he widely Increased. Our American colleges and universities must shortly add the Oriental ehaiu to tlieir list of tutorships, ntul the study of the ancieot ■st of profane records will become the standard discipline of the average miud. * .1 Stimkril Ktiglieh / Hclionri/ t AVymofop icrlfy and ThilolwfU'iilty ,4/rmi./r-tl, tcith .iprint tyffmir, f,t (,'ivrk, /oiln, (lothie, 4/erwam, .-ia g/o-.ViuoN l umt i eher eoaortf* InUo /’iim/woti /.is tisiAv.

Allen ACo IST - .'. The Deepest Well in the World. Alxnrt twenty miles from Berlin is situ ated iu tlis village of Spoienburge, noted for the deei>est well that has ever been sunk Owing to the presence of gypsum Iu the locality, which is at n moderate distance from the capital, it occurred to the Government nuthoities in charge of the mines to obtain a supply of rock salt. With this end in view ilia sinking of a abaft or well, Ui feet in diameter, was commenced some live years ago, and at a depth of 280 feet the salt was reached. The boring was continued to h further depth ofOwfoet, the diameter of the bore being reduced to about 13 inches. The operations were subsequently prosecuted by the aid of steam until a depth of 4,194 feel was attained. At this point the boring was discontinued, the borer or bit being etiil in the salt deposit, which tints txhlb its the enormous thickueaa of 4.907 feet. The boring would have beeu continued in order to discover what desciption of de posit lay under the salt, but for the me chauical difficulties connected with the further prosecution of Hie operations. During the progress of this interesting ■work repeated and careful observations were made of the temperature at various depths. The results confirm very closely with those which have been already ar rived at under similar circumstance*. Dragooning Ukoroia—Tire (>ll tax of on dollar, which is being made thr pretext by Grant organs lor military inter ference with Georgia, was passed original ly by the Radicals when they had the l,eg i-laUuv The act was signed by Governor Mullock It was expected by it to raise four or five hundred tbousaud dollars, but as the tax was not regularly entorced on the negroes. lh yield was much less The same act, w hich was originally de signed to furnish Bullock and the carpet baggers with funds for a job. is now made the pretext by the Government organs of depriving the people of a free election, be cause it Ts enforced on white and bisck Sllfce fVest'eewff mMwe'*w HIK'OTinMtTHn. At a mass meeting of the Liberals at Plc isautwllc, Westchester county, N. Y., Mr. Greeley, among others, was called upon for a speech After reviewing the history of the emancipation of slaves and the "little unpleasantness," he concluded with these words on the reconciliation of the two sections Wo hear of outrages there where there ten or a dozen men concerned In them, but in great States there have been heard of no outrages. You have never heard of them in Virginia, there are no Ku-klux there ; there are uouc in Florida i tbero are none in Mississippi; none in Louisiana or In Texas, Then, I say, letjus try to call these men, this people to us, to say to them, “We arc brothers ; you and we have warred ; we have been opposed to each other and fought, you for .Slavery and Dis union, we for Emancipation mid Union, hut we fought not for our part of the coun try alone, but for our whole country. Our purpose was to mukc all men iu all pnitaoi'lho country free, and our cause was that of Union and Universal Freedom. Now, then, come up and enjoy these priv ileges—take your stand witli us. uud enjoy every good the same as we have it.” Now it seems to me that this is not merely magnanimity, hut statesmanlike policy— the country now needs; and when we have got that, we will consider many questions of the day about which we may agree or dilfcr —turills. hanks, railroads, anil so on. As wo diireml in the past, we may cliticr again. Hut flic first of all questions is the emancipation ol’ ull (lie while men of the country, so that they shall enjoy equal rights with the black men of the country. That is the question on which I stand as u candidate. Wheth er the effort for reconciliation shall he successful in my person or not I do not know, lint 1 thank Heaven that my name w ill lie identified iu history with this great movement lo liberalize the policy ot this country. This movement must prevail; we cannot hate for ever; we shall settle the questions and dissipate the misap prehensions that still part us, if nut tins year, then the next year or the year after, and stand together as Americans, citizens of one country, heirs of one heritage, ready to slum! shoulder lo shoulder in defense of that country if attacked by any enemy whatever. [Great applause.] •• I AHV I'liU.V" The illness of Mrs. Parton seemed to have been looked upon by her friends as fatal. It brought out a good many iucidents of her life, and even some writere essayed bi ographical sketches of her. One in the Evening Telegram thus speaks of her Funny Fern, though nearly sixty years j of age, was ns sprightly a lady until her i present sickness as any hello of twenty live ; and all those who have the honor of her personal friendship are well aware of the delightful charm of her society. In England Fanuy Fern has acliii ved a rep utation only second to that belonging to her efforts in America. Asa writer she is natural, wuim and impressive, and in the power of narrative and description she is never lacking There is no straining after effect. She is naturally a poetess, though she shrinks from rhyme. She is always audacious and never dealn in second-hand ideas, though she lias written for the New V ork Ledger for nearly seventeen years From this widely known newspaper, which owes a great deal of its popularity to her pen, she lias drawn during her connection with its columns, 1 believe, the immense sum of $ 150,000 To give some idea of the popularity of her works—a popularity never attained in this cycle by any other woman writer hut "Ouida" (Miss De Rameau) —I will give some figures from a statement furnished me. Ou the 24th of May, 1854, thirteen months after her first publication of any work, the sides of Fanny Fern’s books had readied the following stupendous number of copies First series of "Fern Leaves.” 70,000 1 "Little Ferns for Fuuuy's Little Frlands," 32,000; second series “Fei n Leaves," 30,000. Total sales in United Slates, 132,000. Sales in Great liritaiu — first series "Fern Leaves," 29,000; “Little Ferns for Johnny's Little Friends,” 19,- 000, or a grand total of 180,000 copies in both countries—an unprecedented occur rence in so short a time. Fanny Fern be came an authoress by accident. She hud a happy home, surrounded by wealth and comfort Suddenly the bolt fell, and her husband nnd luiher were smitten down, leaving the mother and half orphaned children to struggle with a cold world. Adversity followed fast, and the young widow, in sheer des peration, took to the pen, and, with one bold stride, passed at once into tlie galaxy ol American writers. Her suc euss has chiefly lieeu won for one reason, and but for the fact that her books are all adapted to the family, aud are ail on do mestic subjects, with a tine but not over strained perception of ttio rights nnd wrongs of women and children. Tkkkiui.f. —Madame Kudersdorfl is a terribly abused lady. It is well known that she possesses a sweet voice, and sings like a nightingale, but who would have thought she was as bad as an ardent but flighty critic makes her out as follows : To tell you how she sung would be im possible, but if oue uiay esmpare an object of sight to one of sound, we would say that her voice is like a rocket, which from the first bursts upon the sight with a mag niticence that claims undivided attention, aud in an instunt carries your atlentiou from earth to heaven, where it bursts into ten thousand orbs of glory that scintillate, each a separate gem upon the blue em pyrean, and burn each with a varied hue of beauty that at once distracts and com mands attention, until they burst into a fleecy trail of stare that float down the vaulted sk\ softly and slowly, until the earth seems over arched by a lace-work of fire, that drops earthward, as it falls, grow ing thinner, finer, until, like the last ex piring breath of a sigh, it is lost in the eve ning air. Mns Greeley's Illness —Hon. Lew is McKenzie, of Alexandria. Virginia, has received a letter from Horace Greeley, in which, speaking of his invitation to visit the London Agricultural Fair, he informs Mr McKenzie that his wife is dangerous ly ill, indeed, that tier Ills is dispaired of, and that uuiess there is an unexpected change for the better he will be compell ed to forgo ail his contemplated visits A Farmer, whose cribs were full of corn was accustomed to pray that the wants of the needy might be supplied , but when any one ia needy circumsiau ces asked for a little of hia corn, he said he had non* to spare Oue day, alter lieari ng hia father pray for the poor aud needy, his little son said to him Father, 1 wish I had your corn. ” Why, my son. what could you do with it ’ " asked the father. The child replied. •• I would answer your prayer ” Victor Hcoo is, if anything, more spasmodic in bis vagaries of style than ever. Ho has just written a letter to a French socicty.apropos to some celebration on behalf of Alsace and Lorraine, which began . "Friends . You have confidence. You are not conquered. To three Em perors, oppose three dates the 14th of July, the lOth of August, the 21st ef Sep tember. The Mill of July signifies the demolition of the Haslile ; I Oth of August signifies Equality from the discrowning at the Tuileries. and the 21st of September is the date of the proclamation of the Re public, and symbolizes Fraternity. These three ideas will triumph over three armies.” Aud so he goes on, from bad to worse. lie is as impracticable and full of souiidiug verbiage iu his old age as lie was in his youth, and utterly visionary iu both. Several companies have been formed to bring fresh meat from Texas to North ern cities. The entire hold of tlieir ves sels is lined with a non-conducting felt; and, by chemical means, a cold below the freezing point will be kept up. yet not so low as to freeze the meat. The lirst vessel brought back some four hundred tons of carcasses in perfect order, landing them iu twelve days after they were killed. Cotton Movement from Georgia.— The Wilmington (N. C,) Journal under stands that the cotton now passing through that city, tia the Wilmington. Columbia mid Augusta Railroad, and the W. & W. R It., will average 12 car loads per'day. The most of this goes from Georgia and is being carried till the way through over the inland route to the Northern markets. A Michigan minister being in want of a settlement advertises the fact, but gives warning that he is as fastidious about a church as most churches are about a min ister. \EW A DVERTIBEM ENTS MECHANICS' Building uud Loan Assoiation, r pilE Regular Monthly Meeting will he held X tomorrow night at o’clock.

IT is universally conceded that advertising is a necessity to success iu business; it is also conceded, by ihe shrewdest business men, that newspapers are the best medium for reaching all parties whose trade is desired. THE MONHOE ADVERTISER readies more of the people trading; with Ma con than any other journal published in the country; it is, therefore, the best medium of communication with the planting interests. We will be happy at any lime to furnish refer ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere, who will testify to the fact that they have re ceived orders for goods from parties who read their cards in The Advertiser. In fact, many who have availed themselves of its columns, candidly say that its value exceeds that of all other journals in which they are represented The Advertiser has the freshness of youth and the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly ►uccessful. CHARACTER OF ADVERTISEMENTS. No advertisements are admitted which are not believed to be above question and of real value, and from parties so unquestionably re liable that the readers of The Adrertiter will l>e safe in ordering them from any distance.
