was not money enough. Upon the second

call was right, and who wonders at it, for does
everybody know that the “tuird trial is always

A New Item in the Wealth of the South.
We condense from the New Orleans Picayune,
and Hunt s Merchants’ Magazine, some facts in re
| gard to a newly discovered source of wealth in the
South, which, in our judgment, are of vast sig
nificance. In the United .States there are about i
I twentv-tive thousand miles of railroad, consuming
about two hundred gallons of oil per mile, for each ;
I year’s work. As enormous as the amount may
seem to be at first, it is nevertheless true that we
consume annually, for railroad purposes alone, be
tween four and live millions worth of oil. Os
course, for many years to come, this item muat
steadily increase, and will, in twenty years, be
double the amount now called for. The'sea was the I
source from which all nations derived their supply
of oil, until its scarcity forced attention to new and
more abundant supplies. Attempts were made to
cheapen the price of this indispensable article, by
extracting it from sun-flower and cotton-seed—
from lard aud various other animal and vegetable
products; but it was found that while the supply
was steadily falling oil’, the demand was increasing
by a law far more equable. As an evidence of the
decline in the supply of whale oil, we inav cite
the figures from Hunt, as presenting tiiis point in
a very forcible way. In five years, from 1838 to
1842, the amount of whale oil diminished from
226,522 barrels to 161,041 barrels, aud the barrels
of sperm oil, in four years, fell off, from 166,285
barrels in 1b43 to 25,217 iu 1846. In fact the cap
ture ot the whale has now become more perilous
and difficult than any pursuit that mortal men ever
resorted to for the support of life. And the vigor
and pertinacity with which that creature has been
followed from sea to sea, has not only forced w
into new habitudes, but threatened at some day to
make it as rare a sight as the unicorn which we
are prepared to prove by the unquestionable au
thority of nursery dit Lies' were once very abundant
iu England.
The price of sperm oil 13 getting to be so ex
travagant, that we have good reason to apprehend,
from this reason, that at no distant day the fashion
able and rich will introduce it upon the toilet, ta
ble. In 1843, sperm oil sold for sixty-three cents
pei- gallon—now we must pay two dollars and fif
teen cents fur it. In 1840, whale oil sold for nine
teen cents, now it sells for ninety-five cents readi- ;
lv. So it seems that the time has arrived for some
discovery among our uunuinbered resources, which
should supply more adequately our vast demand
fur oils. \Ye accordingly find a number of our en
terprising citizens devoting their time and skill to
the investigation of this important subject. To
Lewis S. Robbins, of New York, the people of the I
whole country, and more especially of the South,
are indebted for the discovery that common rosin !
contains sixty-five per cent, of pure oil. He has
since reduced this important fact to practical effect
in the establishment of eight factories in this coun
try, and one in England, which are now manufac
turing yearly one hundred thousand barrels of
good oil. This already reaches a larger supply
than we can gel of sperm oil from every fishery in
the world. This oil is suitable for all the multi
form applications we make of common oils, say,
for machinery, tanning, painting, burning, etc.— I
and we ca.n obtain it for one fifth the price that we
pay now for sperm oils—so at last pine barrens art
about to assert their consequence, too, in the range
of God’s creation. Their present proverbial pov
erty, will, in a quarter of a century, be an unintel- !
ligiblr reproach, and the South will have added
one other invaluable product to her already- grand
catalogue, which, in the eyes of the political econ
omist, has long given her a consideration enjoyed
bv 110 other portion of the earth.

Yellow Fever.- The British brig Eclipse, Capt.
Mitchell, arrived at Quarantine on the 1-th inst.,
from Bahia, Brazil making the passage in thirty
days. The Captain reports having lost one of his
crew during the passage, of yellow fever, and that
this disease prevailed to some extent at Bahia
when he left port. Notwithstanding the preva
lence of yellow fever at Bahia, the Captain found ]
no difficulty in obtaining a clear bill of health, j
which he promptly presented on his arrival in j
port. Those hills of health must be reliable doc- 1
uments. If the mere exhibition of a bill of
health, were to serve as a passport to vessels at
Quarantine, our wharves, during rome period of
the year, would be lined with infected vessels and
cargoes.— Sew York Times, April 24.
We much fear the pestilence will ravage New
York and other northern cities, this or the follow
ing summer. Its march has been steadily in one
j direction for several years; and, very l'kelv, the
whole continent will feel the effects of its terrible
visitations before it stops. If the yellow fever
j- ever gets ?to raging epidemically in New York,
the horrible scenes which accompanied the plague
in London, will be outdone.

An ■' Indomitable.”— Some six years since, savs
? the Buffalo Advertiser, a young man from the
town of Hamburg came to this city in search of
s employment, and not hiding anything better, en
- gaged himself as a canal driver, which business
- 1 he prosecuted faithfully for two years ; at the end
r of which time aspiring a little higher, he procured
-a situation as teamster at one of our brick yards,
e ' and for about a year was actively engaged in haul
, itig brick around the city. During this time, it is
v mil to be supposed that he was idle, or that his
1 mind dealt only upon horses and bricks, for short
e ly after we hear of linn entering one of our High
e Schools, and in a very short time after emerging
e with the highest honors. Next we hear of him as
f Principal of a very respectable Academy at Clarks
:- ville ; again, he lias taken to reading law, and va
ir ries its tediousness during the winter, bv attend
e ing to the duties a- Professor of Vocal Music, at
I. the Hudson river Institute at Claverack, and with

s The Eagle Pf.n.—The eagle pen, which was ta

0 Paris, rva.3 extracted by M. Femlet de Couches
If himself. It requires more than the strength and
n to coin fairs of a chef de protocose to deprive this
fiery bird of one of its feathers. The task is not
an easy one. The'eagle in the Jardtn des Plantes,
e in undergoing this operation, was entangled in a
strong net. The powerful bird made a long re
sistance, aud in the scuffle with it the workman
‘ who to kit upon himself to make this extract, was
dashed to the ground in no very gentle manner.
>n This was done exactly a week previous to the sign
al ing of the treaty, as the pen had to be prepared
at before it could be used for w-riting.

i From the Daily Atlanta Intelligencer, April 25. j 1
The Clergy in Mexico,
j The confiscation of the Church property of 1 .
1 Puebla to the amount of forty millions of dollars, ; ,
by President Commonfort, was a bold and politic
measure, and, despite the revolution which it j
must produce in the internal policy of Mexico, it ]
appears to be a safe one. Commonfort has done j ,
what numbers of Mexican patriots before him
have w ished for, hut feared to attempt, disarmed 1
the priesthood, and thus rendered supreme the j
civil government. Aud now- that it is done, the t
people and the press joyously approve of it. i j
j Mexico has taken her first important progres- j 1
i sive step. The policy of the President, if extend- j
ed throughout the country, not only removes the ;
cause of her numerous deplorable civil dissen- j t
lions, but places 111 the hands of the government j
the power to sustain itself. The wealth of Mexico, 1
j and wealth at this day is strength,) has liith- t
erto remained locked up in the coffers of the -
church, applied to no purpose, or a bad one, while 11
the civil government has been, half the time, t
without a dollar in the Treasury. Under such ;
condition of affairs, it cannot he surprising that 1
the priesthood have been the chief power in the 1
nation, and that the Government should have j f
i been its plaything to be tossed, torn and re-coil- 1 i
! atructed at its will. Hitherto the chief object of t
! M exiean legislation has been to protect, or more 1
properly to advance in power, tlie clergy. The ; c
■’Church" ordered, and the Legislature obeyed, on j 1
i peril of its very existence. t
Another party could easily be found who, under I
the pretended intluence of religious zeal, yet really ,
: incited by tlie money bags of the clergy, were : 1
; ready to yield to every demand of their pay mas
-1 ters. Events have proven that the power of the j
Mexican priesthood was not based so much upon 1
the superstition or blind obedience of the people, t
| as upon the inordinate wealth of the former, and j v
the unparalleled poverty of the latter. The evil t
was one of long standing, inherited by Mexico i (
l aud almost every other Christian nation, from a j f
! preceding age. The people have felt its heavy )
pressure vet have been ignorant how to rid them- u
selves of it. It needed a strong arm and a stout 1
heart to pluck it away, and display its native hide- 1
ousness, and this, we have every reason to hope
that President Comonfort has or will do. s
Spain, prostrated by centuries of misrule and ty- i
ranny, the worst of all tyranny, that of the Church, j *
j has at length shaken off the load which was slow- (
ly dragging her backwards into barbarism. The
people arose against the priesthood, and the pec- r
pie conquered. The property of the Church was ,
: confiscated, the power of the theocracy was bro- j j
ken, and now the clergy of Spain, subjected to j >
the civil power, are forced into the position which 1
the great master of Christianity assigned to them, |
1 that of teachers, not rulers of the people. Sardi- : 1
I nia followed the example. Other Christian na t
tions had years before taken the same course. <
Mexico remained almost a solitary example, com- ( 1
ing down from the darker ages, of a priest-ruled
i nation.
Should Gen. Comonfort, by adopting the policy
of the mother country, succeed in freeing the Gov- 1
S eminent of its ancient tyrants, we shall then for j !
the first time in many years entertain the hope of
' the ultimate regeneration of Mexico. The people
have displayed throughout the late revolution, a 1
i degree of patriotism and valor, worthy of the re- 1
I spect of the world. A Government which can i !
wage a successful war, without a dollar of money |
in the treasury, against a power unlimited in j 1
! wealth, must certainly be planted on the firmest \
| of all foundations, that of the hearts of the people.
■ And when this same Government becomes pos
sessed of the wealth, now useless or perniciously
used by the clergy, our hopes for the future can
. j not be unreasonable.
One Hai-I'S- Heart.—Have you made one happv

: Children of sorrow meet us wherever we turn ; '
there is not a moment that tears are not shed and
sighs uttered. Yet how many of these sighs art
caused by our own thoughtlessness! How many a
daughter wrings the very soul of a fond mother by
| acts of unkindness and ingratitude 1 How many
husbands, by one little word, make a whole day of j
sad hours and unkind thoughts? How many
i wives, by recrimination, estrange and embitter
■ loving hearts! How many brothers and sisters
r meet but to vex and injure each other, making
wounds that no heart caii heal! Ah !if each one

j on North street, below Sixth. About a dozen tine
buildings were destroyed, and the loss is estima
ted to reach *2,000,000, and only partially insured.

j houses on Market, Commerce and North streets.

Editorial Life.
One of the subjects frequently alluded to, but
i little known -of great importance, and of some
though not sufficient, esteem, is that one with'
which we have prefaced these remarks-the life
editorial.
In a country like our own, where the newspaper
i is, perhaps, the most omnipotent and omnipresent
of all agencies—where it stands as preacher,
! chronicler, friend, politician, agent, king and
! judge; rewarding the good, punishing the bad;
encouraging progress, and stating the path and
the goal of that progress—it has the highest crown
;of any in the royal congress of labor. That it is
without reproach, no one will assert. There are
i bad men, who subvert it to the lowest purposes;
ambitious men, who direct it to mere political or
pecuniary objects; insane men, who direct it to
wards what is impracticable and unattainable, as
well as to what is undesirable. But the rule, bv
the verdict of that great jury which comprises our
whole country and all of bur countrymen—ave,
i even by the world at large—has been endorsed;" so
that now it is honorable, as well as responsible,
and as influential as it is powerful. The very men
who transform it from its true intents, and wreneli
it into wrong, pay the homage vice must ever ren
der virtue, in so doing.
li att individual has made a grand discovery in
mechanics, in philosophy, or in any other depart
ment of learning, what is his first step but to se
cure the herculean agency of the press? If a
grand deed has been accomplished, or a high
thought evolved—if progress has been made in
any department soever, from abstract philosophy
to a patent rat trap—the world knows that the dis
coverer is never content with his laurels, unless
they are placed upon his brow by the press. It is,
in our grand human democracy, a Nemesis to the
sinner, but Minerva, with all her glories, to the
good, and a great stay and solace to the suffering.
What an illimitable" field of labor is opened to
it; and with how much zeal, how much ability,
honesty and fidelity through adversity, against
opposition, without reward does it inarch on to
wards the mark of ils high calling ; like an olden
knight, panoplied all in steel, whose progress no
power may prevent. There is suffering in the wav
for those by whom it is served—weak and weary
in their everlasting work, to which lhat of Sisy
phus was but a prologue and adumbration. There
is more than weakened nerves, wearied brain and
a down-letting of nil the physical agencies; for a
thousand lions, and dogs "and hyenas lie in his
path, watching the banner-man as he marches
ready at all times to besmear his golden standard,
though they may not face his trenchant falchion, j
There is the unending wrestler with the world, in
all the mental and material shapes in which it can
be presented, and with those shapes subdivided into
personal and antagonistic ones. Friends must be
defended tojthe death, though their thanks are more i
than they will repay for the labor. Foes must be i
fought, who will come to the encounter, armed
with every weapon, to win their cause ; and when
the terrible combat is ended, does the hero-fighter ,
lie down to repose and rest? New labors and other I
contests are waiting his taxed powers. He turns j
only to meet a fresh foe, on as bitter a field as the I
former, who must be burled down by his arm
because the good, easy world, knows’ that he can i
do it, and gives no quarter if he yields once where j
he has conquered a thousand times.
And more is demanded the more is done. A
piece of unseasonable news- an erroneous chroni- j
cling of one man’s given name, or of one horse’s ;
best time- an inference which, for want of exact j
knowledge concerning all the premises, happens I
to be wrong is visited with reproach and severe '!
censure. The impossibility of perfection below is ;
forgotten, and the editor is expected to compre- 1
bend all the virtues, all the graces, all the heroism
and all the goodness of the world. A thousand |
merciless censors sit around with jagged sticks, to i
torture him for the slightest failure.
So onward overtoiling, learning, striving and j
seeking to improve himself and others, the editor j
goes; crowded hard by importunities always- i
sometimes slipping, but leaping manfully to the !
front again, and marching resolutely, flag and ,
sword in hand, into—the coffin. And as the clods !
rattle over him, the world says : “ Another editor’s
dead -a decent fellow—wonder who’ll take his
place?” Wonder away! Who can fill the vacant
seat ? Not you -nor you nor you—unkind, un- j
charitable, ungenerous, on whom his life has been !
bestowed. For the true editor is not the thing of :
a day, but one who has been taught by time, by
thought, by bitter pain and experience; and the
crucible through which such go is so severe, that
many perish in it where one lives—to die.
Kecovkrt of Damac.es for Liquor Seized in- i
dkii the M vine Law. —ln the Supreme Court, yes- !
tordav, Chief Justice Slutw presiding, Mr. Edgin'
W. Cummings recovered S7OO us damages fora
stock of liquors seized and confiscated by ox-Sher
itf Crocker, under the provisions of the liquor law,
in September, 1852. The liquors were seized in a
store in Kneelund street, and this was the only
considerable seizure in this city. The Plaintiff,
Cummings, claimed SI,OOO as damages; but some
of the witnesses introduced as experts, said that
the liquors were not of the first qualify, and so
the jury deciuiinated the amount claimed.

That Sharpe’s Rifle.- We have had two or
three applications for the Sharpe’s rifle committed :
to our care bv Col. M. C. M. Hammond, and it
would have afforded us much pleasure to have j
complied in each case, but the gun is really not
ours to dispose of as we like. It was sent to our
address to be placed at the direction of the Edge- 1
field Kansas Association ; and we can do no more
than turn it over as that Association shall say. The i
body will, we suppose, meet at this place on next
sale day. At that time, application can be niio'c
for the rifle. It is ready to be delivered at the
bidding of the Association.

MELLS PATENT PLOW STOCK!
lIHIH undersigned has invented and patented
N a most valuable improvement in the PLOW
STOCK—the county rights for which he desires to
sell, lie prefers to let others speak its praise, and
therefore introduces the following certificates, from
two planters, well and favorably known in the
community in which they reside. He might in
troduce nianv others, but the Plow Stock will
speak for itself whenever examined.
JAMES I!. MELL.
Riceboro’, Liberty county, Ga.
This is to certify that T have, with my own hands,
thoroughly tested the newly invented Plow Stock
of James B. Mell, Esq. In'point of simplicity and
perfection, I have never seen or used its equal. In
it is combined every thing that 1 could wish in a
Plow Stock, and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest
and the best that has ever been offered to the pub
lic. 1 speak from having used it with my own
hands. I was raised to follow the plow, and think
that 1 know how one ought to run. I would cheer
| fully thank any one, who will thoroughly fry it, to
; point out to me one single fault in it7 It is’ easier
upon the horse and the plowman than any that I
i have ever used.
The principle upon which you regulate the depth
, of the Plow is so simple, and yet so perfect, as to
j commend itself to any one; and the Stock is adapt*
;ed to any kind of Plow Hoe. It is, moreover, just
.as light as any could desire it to be. 1 would re
| commend to any and all, if they wish the best and
1 cheapest Plow Stock, without Hesitation to get Mr.
James B. Mell’s. D. W. Wilson.
Penfield, Ga., April 15, 1856.
Tn company with several others, I, this dav, wit
nessed the trial of Mr. James B. Mell’s Plow ."stock,
j by Mr. I). W. Wilson, and cheerfully state that all
i present were fully satisfied that it does everything
; as stated above. I would, moreover, state" that 1
, have been using them on my farm for several
: months, and every day serves to confirm me in the
| opinion of the superiority of Mr. Mell’s Plow Stock
! to all others now in use. Thomas P. Janes.

Spirit of the Yankee Women.
A friend encloses us the following verses taken
from the Lowell News. They were endorsed upon
! one of the subscription papers circulated among the
Factory operatives of that place during a recent
movement in behalf of the free State men of Kan
sas. There is a touch of the old Lexington spunk
I in the heart, of the factory girl who indited them,
j Opposed to us as their sentiment is, we can but ad
mire the genuine, true-blue spirit at their bottom.
That girl will make some fellow a good wife,
and be the mother of some solid men without a
doubt.
We point our fair Southrons to the example,
and, ask, is there none to respond to this Yankee
maiden’s bold tone of defiance ? Nous verrons.
i
Three pence a pound on tea,
Charged by John Bull, Esquire,
Kicked up a row, in earlier days,
And kindled Freedom’s fire.
In later times, the self-same wrong,
Makes freemen’s hearts’ blood boil;
We claim the right for black or white,
To squat on Kansas soil; —
And settling there, to make their land.
As freemen do, by votes;
And not have border rascals force,
By threats and curses loud and coarse,
Their bantlings down their throats.
Take, then, our mite, ve Kansas men—
Our hearts are warm and true—
And let it help the holy cause
Embodied now in you.
Fair girls here add, from honest toil,
Their trifle for vour aid.
“Strike for the right—the right is vours,”
Cries many a lovely maid ;
“ We’ll share your homes, ye Yankee boys,
When Kansas shall be free—
And add some copies of yourselves,
To uphold liberty.”
Wheat.— Personal observation and much inqui
ry, have led us to the conclusion that if no unto
ward disaster overtakes the wheat crop between
this time and harvest, the yield in this section will
be at least as much as usual. It is true that a good
deal of it is thin upon the ground—in some in
stances a verv poor “stand”—still, there being a
greater breadth sown than ordinary, and much of
it looking quite promising, as it surely does, we
think we may safely conclude that there will be no
falling off in this region.— Athens Watchman.
