Art of printing by metallic moveable typs
now generaly ascribed to John Guttenhurg,
was successfully practiced in Germany, in
the year MuO. It soon passed into Bohe
mia, and thence into Italy. Not many
years elapsed before it was practiced in
Hollad, whence it was brought to England.
By the close of thcfifllieenth century it had
travelled most of the stats of Europe, and
was known at Constantinople. In the fol
lowing century it was introduced to anew
world in Mexico, and winged its way even
to India and Japan. In 1639, it was intro
duced to tlie Britisli settlements in North !
America; and is now, with its improved:
methods of working overspreading the civ- j
ilized world.

Plain ssaut Sickness.
The most excessive pain is in paroxysms
During its intervals, man experiences the
greatest pleasure, and often approaches a j
state of ccstacy. Now he learns how to
appreciate health. But if continued with i
no solacing inter vails, it causes one to view j
the portals of eternity, though shrouded j
in gloom, with pleasure and delight. It ,
then robs the grave of its horrors and ren- j
dors the ocean of death appearantly calm
and serene.
Sickness often develops ones bcltei feel
ings, such as fortitude and some of the most
beautiful traits of man’s moral nature,it then
acts as a sort of medicine to the soul, ana
becomes a refining crucible; and then again
it is a magniticr which multiplies and en
larges the joys of heaven and the miseries
of earth.
It is often a beautilier of the counter
nance; rendering the teeth pearly, the eye
sparkling, and the cheek flushed. When the
countenance thus puts on the garb of beauty,
and the chest is heaving and the heart rap
idly and powerfully tlirobing—then the
principles of vitality are evolved with in
tensity, the mind omits thoughts which are
bright sparkling coruscations of the soul.
When in such a state, the candle of life
goes out—the death scene is like a clock!
that went down in the night, .it studily
points the beholder to that hour long gone
“There come now and then,” says Ho-!
race Templeton, “moments to the sick man
when to be well and vigorous, lie would
consent to be poor, unfriended in the world, j
taking health alone for his heritage.”— j
Truly man that is born of woman is of few
days and full of trouble, and true also, that
out of bitterness and pain he can distill
sweetness and joy.

Elcrf ienltme.
Horticulture, owing to the condition of,
oar present agricultural interests, is now a
subject of much importance, and should
claim the attention of every cultivator of
the soil; consequently a few thoughts will
be introduced occasionally in our paper in
connection with this subject.
Hops. —The Hop is a bitter plant much
used in brewing, and will grow luxurantly
in otir State. Hops are worth fifty cents
a pound. Its hitter principles is called lu
puliii. It was introduced into England
by the Danes so as to prevent chills and
fever which were then denominated the
Dev cl’s plague.
Grapes. —The Isabella and Catawba
grapes are best suited to our climate. The
best fertilizers for their soil is : first, leather,
hair, horn and bone, and subsequently pot
ash and soda. If properly attended, they
will produce grapes enough to make five
hundred dollars per acre.
’The northern is better adapted than
the southern portion of our State, from the
calcarious nature of its soil, the altitude of
its surface and temperature, of its climate
to the culture of tho grape, and the pro
duction of wine The heat is too great in
the most southern portion of the State, as it
generates acetous fermentation.
The wine drinking people arc remarkable
for their sobriety. A roll of bread and a
pint of wine serves tho Frenchman for a
breakfast.
Ai.monds.— The sweet Almond can not
be raised in Georgia, as it flowers too early.
This is also true in reference to the Apri
cot. By grafting, this defect may be rem
edied
Raspberry, the fruit of a bramble grows
well in our State, of which there are sever
al varieties. The Antwerp, as a variety is
best suited to onr soil, especially that of
Cherokee. It should be planted from slips
or cuttings in hills four or five feet apart
with poles (chestnut or sasafras is prefca
bltj to train them on. Trim them every
spring and then leave four root stalks to
bear the next year. They should be culti
ted.
To prevent insects from devouring tender
plants, such as Tomatoes, &x., use a water
pot so as to sprinkle them with soap suds.
The Irish soap suds are the best.
I’ltraism
This is an age of ultraism. The spirit
of innovation is so prevalent and the trav
elled patli of wisdom and its preempts so
little regarded that the goddess Liberty,
should be represented.
“Inclining forword as to speak.
Her lips half opened and her fingers up,
As though she said, Beware 1” .
Sier.ce, in modern times, is too often
degraded by her false votaries, at “lie shrine
of mamon and patronage. Her devotees j
being blinded by the glitter of gold, and j
entranced by the siren voice of ephemeral
fame, forget truth, and behold but few oi \
the beauties which arc portrayed in the !
mirror cf Nature.
These votaries, who should have their j
shoulders to the wheel to further on the car \
of sicnce, have put on the garb of knowl- !
edge and the semblance of truth ; not as
lovers of wisdom, but as gainers of a few ;
I paltry thousand,
When these donkeys, clothed in the
lion’s skin, have obtained wealth, the world,
instead of hissing, claps its hands and ap
plauds, an 1 then they, with their inflated
cheeks, the louder bray, “Oh, what great
men wc are ! 1”
The path of right reason is too-straight and i
difficult and dull for the ambition of the
present age. The infant, too hasty to be
a youth emerges into manhood, and sports
a cane, puffs a cigar, raps his boot with a
riding whip, and has A. B. as an appendix I
to his name, even before down is seen on
j his lip, or lie. ceases to twattle as an infant. 1
i His curriculum of studies is so shortened he
j becomes a crilie, a statesman, a professor,
although by law considered a minor. The
youths, instead of passing through ti e gates
and walking the paths which our fore-fathers
trod in the attainments of knowledge, are
admittcd.jnto the sanctum sanctorum of sci
ence without even having learned its pass- J
words : hence, in their intercourse with the ;
world, when their minds are forced to think, j
and their observations have become more
general, they arc astounded by some new
idea; and never having studied the thoughts !
of men of by-gone ages, they call them
selves inventors, originators and benefac
tors of mankind !
Tlfe irreverence of the present age, for
things that are old, has, to some degree,
; made men regardless of those ties which
1 have bound together kindred societies, mor
als and literature. The repugnance for
- what wears the aspect of hoary age rejects
what was once considered axioms in religion
: and morals ; consequently socialism, with
i some, is the order of the day, and the spir-
I itual rapper has become the profauer ol ho- j
lv things. But the principle to be appro- ;
bended is not so much the undue irrever
ence of the prsent age for antiquity, but an |
undue estimate of tho present intellectual
achievements. Its iduls are trntly great
wonders, and will stand out prominent in af
ter ages on the historic pngd of the nine
teenth century. The iron horse—the swift j
consumer of space—the telegraph the j
electric-winged messenger—create within
us a fond and parental devotion, and an
over-estimate of our advantages, both artis
tic and scientific, when compared with those
of antiquity. Many tho learned and a host
of the ignorant imagine that our once-blin
ded eyes can sec what they neve saw before
We seem to these to be emerging from
the darkness of b y-gor.e years, whose men
tal effulgence was but glow-worms’ tints
when compared to the bright and sparkling
coruscations of the present. “Old things
have passed away, and, behold, all things
have, become new.” llct.ce, anew religion
is sought after —a Joe Smith is denominated
a prophet of the most high God—the fanatic
believes that, by raps, he can hold, commu
nication with the souls of the dead, and stiil
affirms, although the soul of a sainted father
should answer: “lam in heaven, fabricating
thunder at three cenls a clap.” In his soil
of skepticism, has been planted all the new
—pathies where they have flourished un
til, in some regions, they have grown to be
huge monsters of error, until they arc now
crumbling through the weight of their absur
dities. Any thing that lias the stamp of
novelty on it, passes current, and is lauded
by mankind. One Las only to cry out with
raised hands and up-lifted eyes; old, musty
to have the truths of ages rejected and to
say “1 am an inventor,” to obtain public
favor and raise a breeze, though a “hum
bug,” to be wafted to a haven of wealth
and renown. But thank God truth never
becomcsolu, but brightens as time advan
ces 1 That which we consider new is but
an ill-disguised plunder lrom ola reposito
ries. And that much which we vaunt to
be true consist of old falacies often refute 1
and forgotten, or of unripe theories, which
must perish by the way-side or be choked
up by weeds of a kindred growth.
They have got a county judge in Texas
who is said to have three hands. llow can
such an odd-handed judge lie expected to

I Synopsis of S/i'esMesiCs Message.
Washington, Dec. 6. —The President
commences his message by congratulating
the country on the contrast of tlieagitatiou
which existed in Kansas only one year ago,
with the. peace and quie t which now prevails.
The President refers to the Lecomptoi: Con
stitution, and rc-aflinns his former position
on that subject. He thinks if Kansas had
been admitted with that constitution, the
same quiet would have been restored at .an
earlier day. Being, however, perfectly wil
ling to acquiesce in any other constitutional
mode of settlement, he signed the Eug'ixh
bill; and expresses the opinion that when
Kansas again applies for admission as a
State, she will have the number of popu
lation required by that bill.
lie goes at lengbt into a discussion of the
question involved in the admission of now
Slates, and recommends the passage of a
general law, by which no new Stateshallbe
admitted unless she has a population suffi
cient to entitle her to the Representative.
The President congratulates Congress on
the settlement of our Utah difficulties with
out the effusion of blood.
lie compliments the conduct of the officers
of the army in Utah, and expresses satis
faction at the course pursued by Gov. Al
fred Camming, and honorblay mentions
Col. Kane.
In relation to the treaties recently made
between tins country and the goverment of
China and Japan, the President considers,
particularly in the ease of China, that our
neutral policy contributed much in our favor.
Both treaties, he says, will prove of great
importance to the trade and commerce of
this country.
lie congratulates the country on the
abandonment of the right of search, on the
part of Great Britain.
In reference to Central American affairs,
he says t licit negotiations are stll prgressing,
and he has not yet abandoned all hopes of
success. He refers to what he stated in his
message last year to Congress, and in that
connection states that his views on the sub
ject of the Isthmus routes accord with the
policy heretofore announced by Secretary
Cass. Ilis object only is to keep the routes
open, and desires no other privileges for
the United States than wc shall expect
other nations to enjoy. But this govern
ment will not consent that those Isthmus
routes shall he closed by tbe imbecility of
nations which reside near them.
The President regrets that the Nicara
gua route has been closed, and refers to the
necessity of enforcing our claims again;
Nicargua and Costa Rica.
Mexico, the President, says, is in a condi
tion of civil war, and scarsely any hope ex
ists of her restoration to a permanent gover
ment. He refers to the causes which led
to a rupture of our diplomatic relations with
Mexico, and awards a handsome compli
ment to Hon. John I'osytli for his services
as Minister there.
If it were for the mere hope of obtaining
justice from the liberal party in Mexico—a
party which uow appears to be approach
ing to power—the Prsident says he would
recommend taking poscssior. of such portion
of that country, as would piove a sufficient
indemnity to us for all our claims and griev
nnegs.
In North Mexico, bordering on our Ter
ritory, there are other considerations which
claim our attention. We arc interested in
the peace of that section. In that neigh
borhood reside lawless Indians, who enter
our settlements in Arizona, and there seems
no other way that this trouble or difficulty
can be removed, than by establishing mili
tary posts in Sonora and Chihuahua. lie
recommends this to be done, regarding
Mexico as in state of imbecility ami anarchy.
As to Spain, the President refers to the
causes wlich delayed the appointment of a
successor to the Hon. A. C. Dodge, former
Envoy Extrordinary and Minister Plenipo
tentiary, and says that Mr. Preston, his
successor, will go out with full powers to
settle all difficulties with Spain as soon as
possible.
The Pressdent says that Cuba ought to
belong to this country ; and recommends
that steps be taken for its purchase. As we
have acquired all new territory by honor
able negotiation, this should not be an ex
ception.
In regard to the tariff laws, the President
reaffirms liis former opinion in favor of spe
cific duties on certain articles, and submits
the whole question to the enlightened con
sideration of Congress.
The President calls attention to the pro
posed Pacific railroad, and refers to the
success of the overland mails as showing
the practicability of the rout.
Among other subjects the President reit
erates his former recommendation to estab
-1 lisli a Territorial government in Arizona.
Synopsis of Depnrtmciit Report,
Washington, Dec. 6, —Secretary Cobh,
of the Treasury Department says that the

dred and fifty thousand dollars,and receipts
at < 1 ven million dollars.
Department of the Interior. —Secetary
Thompson, of the Interior Department,
states that the revenue received last year
from the sales of public lands amounted to

the government shall cover all lands con
taining the precious metals, and sell all
lands containing the baser metals. He ad
vises the extension of the pre-emption laws
over the Territory of Utah.
Xa rp Departnicjii.Secxoinry Toucey rc

War Department. —Secretary Floyd, of
the War Department, gives it as his opin

new fortificatons, and those only at exposed
points. Ilis estimates for the next year are
iliree million dollars less than tbe expendi
tures were last year.

150 special public servicies a year, during
tbe last three years ; and collected many
hundred pounds for our chaples and other
funds.

GF* the Cincinnati Gazette has an article
on the prospects of the trade in swine du
ring the ensuing packing seasons, and from
the survey of the whole field of production,
concludes that the increase of Indiana, Illi
nois, lowa, Missouri and Tennessee will
in the aggregate range from fifteen to twen
ty-five per cent, in number, without any
material decrease or increase from last year
in the average weight. Hogs have past
through the summer in good condition.—
The corn that is now being fed to *licm
is of superior quality—much better than
that used last year, and the animals promise
t 5 come forward in good order. ’The con
clusion arrived at may bn stated in brief,
as follows : 1. Very light stocks of old pro
ducts on the Ist of Decembr. 2. An in
creased consumption in 1859. 3. No mate
rial difference in the average weight as com
pared with last year. 4. An increase in
number, in the total crop, of, say 20 per
cent.
A dwarf named Richebourg, who was on
