In thvee parts. Mr. , from Ncwnan, who left
toms ten days before I did, and who has made in
quiries about him, told me noon landing that he
eould find no one who knew him, and I nave fail-
id to find any one, out of several with whom I
have conversed upon the subjeot and who arc old
and reliable men of Kansas and Western Missouri,
who know anything at all about him.
Col. White alluded tols the same individual who
has been lecturing so extensively though South
Carolina and Georgia for somo weeks past, and
giving such glowing descriptions of the product*
of Kansas. Only think of hogs weighing 10 W
pounds, corn 80 feet in height, and 200 bushels an
avenge crop of oats to the acre! The Col. ar
rived in this city about ten days ego and an
nounoed a lecture, but that is the last we heard of
him. ’ y

We copy Into bur columns, this .morning, so;
wwk ot ttifi proceedings ef the House of Repre
sentative! as refisrt to tha passage of the blU touch
ing the Savannah River appropriation. U Witt
besaon that tha question, at no stage ef Hs pro-
grass,met with any thtngUke seriousoppesltioainor
was there any circumstance connected with its
passage through the House to create the slightest
unsailntss for it* luoooae. Nearly four-fifth* of
the whole body voted for every proposition that
fhvorad Its passage. We feal properly thankful
to our Immediate representative for his course on
this oecuslon, as wa shall on every other where he
may de his duty) but it really doss appear to us
that tha enthusiasm with which one of our city
ootemporaries and tta correspondent heralds the
passage of tho bill as tha “ Triumph of Mr. Sew
ard," is wholly nnoalled for by any of tha olreum-
stances of the oase. So far as the record proves—
and it embraoos avery word that was said, being
taken from the Globe's report—it was a “triumph"
without! contest, for nobody opposed the measure.
The owners of Lexington might just as well have
got np a great agony for his “triumph" when be
walked round tho course at New Orleans a short
time ago, and took tho purse without a competitor.
Indeed, we eannot perceive how any opposition
eould have grown up against this measure. The
bill did not seek to appropriate a dollar from the
publio treasury, nor did it troneh In the slightest
degree upon the constitutional seruplos of the
members | it merely sought to relievo an appropri
ation already made from tho offsets of a most rid
iculous Interpretation by tbs Secretary at War, by
whloh all previous legislation in tha premises bad
been rendered nugatory and useless. Of what
avail was an appropriation for the removal of the
wraoks, when not a dollar oould bo spent in dig-
glnpaway the deposits that bide them from view,
or for the removal of accumulations oaused imme
diately by their presence 7 Yet this was the whole
difficulty, and the sole objeot of tha bill now pend
ing is for the removal of that restriction. We
oannot see how any man of oommon sense and
honesty eould opposcAueh a bill, and the faoiiity
with whloh it passed the House by an overwhelm
ing mq)orlty, Is proof that there really was no dif
ficulty. In the Senate tho treat trouble seems to
bo that the Domooratio strict constructionists, not
eontent with supplying our real wants, are desirous
of forcing upon us even more than we have asked
for!
As beforasald, we feel properly thankful to Mr.
8ewnrd for his agency in this matter, and would
not detract one iota from the full amount of merit
that may be due him, but wo do think that so groat
a puffing on no better grounds is an unpardonable
waste of wind, if it bo not obnoxious to a charge of
“toadyism)" especially when coupled with the seri
ous averment that no man^n the House of Rep
resentatives has a greater personal influence over
its members than tho Representative from this
district—a declaration which no man, save the
writer, can believe.

Like all books of travel by the ladies, this is

whole, very readable) yet, liko most of its kindrod,
Its.facts are not always to be relied on. This
arises from no wilful .misrepresentation, hut from

eirelein which a lady can move in her efforts to
gather up minute facts connected with tbo social
and political condition of the world, being entirely
insufficient for exact discovery, and an enlighten-
judgment uoon what she sees and bears. Being
more susceptible, too, than men, they are apt to
form opinions, and write, from first impressions,
whieb, in a large majority of instances, must lead

The American Salt Manufacture In tka
Southern States.
The following article, published in the Albany
(New York) Evening Journal on the production of
Salt by solar evaporation, and from the salt
springs of the North, is equally applicable to the
Southern Atiautio shore, where the inferiority of
the sea brine is fully compensated by the greater
power of solar evaporation. The sea brino on our
Georgia shores -possesses from 8} to 4 per cent of
salt It is as much as on the Mediterranean coast
and moro than in the Adriatic Gulf, where, never
theless, the salt-works have from the earliest-times
been carried on with great success.
The ocean on our shoros affords other peculiar
advantages, the high tide introducing, without ex
pense, the soa brine on the evaporating field, and
the low tide sending away, with the same facility,
the rains and fresh water whloh would oountcract
tho salt manufacture by atmosphorio evaporation.
With such a double vantage, this manufacture, if
carried on in Georgia, is to be less costly than on
the Mediterranean shores, and easier, also, than
in Syracuse, N. Y., where, according to Professor
Cook, appointed by Syracuse, itself, about, three-
fourths, of solar evaporation are lost to the actual
method of making salt. Now, every one under
stands that, in controlling all the evaporating power
of the wind' and sun, we can have, as in France,
three times more salt than is now made in Syra
cuse, or the same quantity tbreo times cheaper, and
at band for all classes of consumers:
“ The United States are, perhaps, the richest
couutry in salt springs And mineral salt of every
description in the world) still they nro importing,
each year, about twelve million bushels of foroign
salt, and for suoh importation paying two or three
milliotia of dollars.
“In the United 8Utes the Stato of New York
especially rich in salt springs, having twelve, fif-
touu or eighteen per cent, of salt) and still this
State imports annually two or three million bush,
els of foreign salt fur the interior consumption,
when France and Italy, having only three or four
per cent, of salt in their son water, aro manufac
turing, with a brine so weak, a quantity of salt
sufficient not only for themselves, bnt for a large
exportation.
“Why thou ore the United States, and especially
the leading StAte of New York, so backward in
the manufacture of n product of prime and viti
necessity? I do not now enter npon an cxplnna?
tlon of the cause of this; but I shall submit on
this matter the result of my own experience.
• “Everywhere in the south of France tho salt,
made by solur and natural evaporation is a great
deal cheaper than when made in boilers by artifi
cial heat, and this solar salt costs, for the 100 kil-
logramines of 232 pounds, (four bushels,) eight oi
nine cents. The aotunl cost of salt to too manu
facturer in the south of France, in tho last twenty
years, is consequently, per bushel, about two
cents. This fact is of publio notoriety) and b;
some new improvements in salt works, which
myself introduced in Italy in 1848, tho bushel was
produced for only ono and a half cents from the
brine of the Adriatic sea, which has about 2} per
cont. of salt.
“In Syracuse, the greatest market of American
salt, the cost of the manufacture per bushel is
throe times ns muoh j it is six or seven cents in
spite of tbo richness of the brine, whloh has eigh
teen per cent of snlt. Why then so incredible a
difference ? Because, according to the report of
Professor Cook, of 1854, (page 14,) fn the pveeent
method of manufacture by tolar evaporation in
Syracute, about three-fourth* of the evaporating
power ie loet, whereas, in France the whole power
is controlled and so used as to proportionally re
duce the cost of the manufacture, diminishing it
from six or seven cents to about two cents.
“Now, the old manufacturer, or new enterpri
sing capitalists, have in this question two certain
ties. The first is a loss of about three quarters of
the evaporating power in Syracuse, certilled, not
by me, but by Professor Cook, in bis official re
port to the superintendent of tbo salt springs. The
second certainty is, that a better method of evap
oration oould be employed in the United States, os
it is in France, producing three times moro salt,
or the same quantity three times cheaper. It is
also certain that tho natural und Improved method
of evaporation has always produced the best salt
for provisions. Being than superior, by the
economy and by the quality of its products, this
method may be adopted, with immense profit, in
nil Amorlcon salt works, and ospeoially in the
large manufactures at Syracuse.
“The profits of this improved method are
sure, that it has had triumphant success, even with
sea water, on the French coast of tho Mediterra
nean and the Italian eoast of the Adriatic, the first
sea water having three or four nor cent, salt, and
the second only two and a half. The brine of
Syracuse having 18 per cent, will givo eome-
qnently, a great deal more facilities for tho appli
cation of the French method and of my improve
ments made in Italy; and it assures fonr of five
timoaasmuoh salt, und proportionally obeapi
than in France. But, as in Syracuse, the lab:.
costs twice as much os' in France—-labor
costing a dollar a woiking day instead of fort'
or fifty oents—this increased cost will diminish
a little the eoonomy of the French method) so
that this method will be not five or four times
more profitable hat only three or two times, and
will produce in Syracuse the bushel of salt for
about one cent instead of six or seren cents
now.
“With a diminution of five cents per bushel, tho
total saving on (he five or alx million* bushels,
manufactured in Syracuse will be two hundred
and fifty thousand or three hundred thousand dol-
lars a year. -

The Charleston Courier makes up tbo following
summary of tbo various measures of Internal im

the staunchest friends of internal improvement
now in Congress belong to the Domooratio party
Sevoral bills it is said will soon be reported in
Congress from the Committee on Publio Lands,
which are of grant importance. By these bills it
is proposed that the government shall grant, for
the benefit of certain railroads to be constructed
or now in process of construction, in the States of
Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Louisiana, Florida,
and Alabama, alternate sections of such publio
lands lying on oithor side of said roads as bare
not been already entored, and as shall be com
prised within a distance of six miles. A similar
proposition was made during the last Congress,
and the bill passed the Senate scarcely with any
opposition, but was defeated in the House by a
single vote. The amount of land which may thus
bo devoted in Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana,
will be comparatively small, as mueh on tho lines
of the proposed roads has been nlroady located,
and no provision Is to be made for anbstltnting
other tracts in such casos. The same remnrk np-

paratively decreased. In Wisconsin a larger
amount will be required, as the road will pass
through lands not maah located, though it is un
derstood that tho aggregate will not exceed two
millions of acres. Ono of theso Wisconsin roads
is to run from Lake Winnobngo north to tho State

Fight in a Cnuncn.—A correspondent, writing
to the Baltimore American Domocrat from York,
Penn., under date of May 5, says:
Yesterday (Sunday) there was ono of those dis
graceful scenes that sometimes occnr in this coun
try, but very frequently in tho European countries,
to-wlt: We learn that tho German Roman Gatho
iio Priest undertook to chastise ono of bis mem
bers in the churoh during tho hours of service,
which did not end without a regular fist fight
among the members, which only terminated after
the priest had lost nearly oil his vestures, and
numbers of his worshipers, bad received black e'
and bloody noses, not excepting the women,
loam further, that the priest, with a member, has
been arrested, and will be bound over to keep the
peace. This priest is the Austrian Jesuit who
burnt the bible in onr place a few years ago. You
will no doubt have the fall particulars by the pa
pers in a few days.

Death of Pebcival, the Poet.—The telegraph

and graduated at Yale College in 1815. He wrote
'erses at a very early ogo, but bis first appearance
Is an author wns in 1821, when he published his
Prometbous and other poems. He published ano
ther volume of poems tho following year, and at
that period he was the most popular of American
poets; the tenderness ana melancholy sweetness
of ills verses being in accord with tbo prevalent
taste of the day. In 1824 ho was appointed an as
sistant surgeon in tho U. S, Army, and stationed
at West Point to lecture on chemistry; but ho re
signed hU commission after bolding it a few
months. Ho published a third volutno of poems
in 1827, and, in 1843, appeared bis Dream of a
Day, Dr. Perciral was a man of purely scholarly
tastes aud eceentrlo habits, and he united a re-

Roman Nomenclature.—Tho Romans bad a
more complete system of personal nomenclature
than any nation possesses at tho present day.—
They had tbreo names for eaoh individual—the
pranomen, nomen, and cognomen. Tho first de
notes the individual, and corresponded with our
Christian unme j the second marked tho genet or
clan, and tho third distinguished tbo family. For
instance, in Publui Cornelius Solpio, Publius cor
responded to onr John, Thomas, or William;
Cornelius pointed out the gene, and Sclplo convey
ed the information that the individual In question
belonged to tho particular family of the Cornolil,
which descended from the pious Sclpio, who, from
the practice of leading about bis aged and blind
father, thus figuratively bocamo bis scipio or
staff. Sometimes persons received a fourth namo
or agnomen, ofton commemorative of conquests,
and borrowod from the hostile oountry, as, Africa
ns, Gerraanicus. In addressing tho person, the
j)ro;iiomen was generally employed, as U was pe
culiar tq citizens, slavos having nopramomen—the
custom among the Romas being the reverse of
that prevailing in this country, where slaves have
legally the pramomen or given name only, though
tacitly allowed to call themselves by tbo namo of
their muter.
Constant Affection.—Tho mon must have
more justico dono to them in the matter of affeo-
tions. A yonng German who camo to Ohio seven
teen years ago, was betrothed to a fair young girl
in his own country, but thoy wore too poor to
marry. After ho had been hero a short time their
letters wore interrupted, and the girl becoming an
orphan, married another, and bad three children
when her husband died, leaving ber destitute, and
went to the parish poor bouso. Monntirao, our
hero, the emigrant, worked hard and kept his faith
till he had earaod enough to justify him in return
ing to Germany to see whether his betrothed was
false or dead. The faots did not change his true
heart, and he married ber ana brought her and her
children to his little home in Ohio.

shouted “Police! Police!” and contrary to the
rule secured*tbo services of a star, and, by this
tithe, pretty well escorted by rag pickers, school
boys, and passing mon, led tbe poor shivering
female back to tbe Mb barrel. She sobbed terr -
bly,and protested itwM nothing; but tbe police
man agreed with Mr. It., that infanticide was too
grave a crime to go unpunished. Tho crowd
'athered around tho barrel to investigate tbe eon
ents of the bundle. It was found to consist of nr
old silk apron wrapped around a body somo 20
inches in length, and which must have died some
days before.
Feelings of indignation and sbamo for our poor
