The Romans wrote their hooks i.cipally on parchments, and the monks he dark ages were sonelimcs tempted, ov the dearness of skins, to erase an old .anusci ipt from a paichment, in order to jbstitute anew writing. This may ac .unt, in part, for the scarcity ot ancient manuscripts. Masterpieces of geneius have been and may yet be found bcnetli the leg endary life of a saint or a martyr, or the theological speculation of an early father.

We recognize in 1 ( printing press one of the most impor tant agents which this age of wonders is privileged to enjoy, and may appropriately finish this chapter by an allusion to its history. ’ 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. Hints for the Farmer.— Dig your potatoes when the ground is dry; you cau : then gather them free from dirt, then stow them away under cover, where the frost i will not touch them. Toads are the best protection of cubbage against lice. Plants when drooping, are revived by a few grains of camphor. Sulpheris valuable in preserving grapes, Arc., from insects. Lard never spoils in warm weather, if it | is cooked enough in frying out In feeding corn, sixty pounds ground go i as far as one hundred pounds in the kernel. Corn meal should never be grouud very flue, it injures the richness of it. Turnips of small size have double the tritious matter, that large ones have.

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 administer even-handed justice! 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 expences of government for the next fiscal year will require seventy-million two hun dred and fifty thousand dollars, including fifteen million five hundred thousand dob lars for the army, thirteen million five hun dred thousand dollars for the navy, and two j hundred and ten thosand dollars for the ordnance department, and fortifications. Post, Office Department. Secretary Brown, of the Post Office Department re commends that the franking privilege he a bolished, and tho issue of stamps be substi tuted. He dcprocats tho transmission of heavy matter by mail—recommends the adoption of miifom rates of postage at five cents—favors the establsbmeut of a line of mail steamers from San-Francisco to Japan and China. Ho estimates the expenditures next year at fourteen million seven hun 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 two million dollars. He recommends that 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 commendesan increase in the number of officers of the navy, of all classes; and fa vors I lie purchase of ail the vessels lately chartered for the Paraguay expedition. — lie also recommends the construction of ten light drnght steamers. War Department. —Secretary Floyd, of the War Department, gives it as his opin ion that the Nevaje and Gamanche war just commenced, will prove to bo fierce and bloody ; but he states that it will be vigor ously prosecuted. He recommends but tew 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. Death of a Venerable Gle.rgym'nin Eng land—The London Watchman announces tbe death of the Rev. John Ilickling, the “oldest Methodist preacher in the world and last snrviver of the ‘helpers’of John Wesly,” He died on the 9th of November, and it is said of him : 11s was in the 71st year of his ministry, and would have been 93 years old, had lie lived only thee weeks longer. Willi n him has died the last of that noble body of men sent out to preach by the late Rev. John Wesley. Ilis last public service lie con ducted at Brimingliani, a tori night since, when he lectured on “Early Methodism.— At the time of liis death large hand bills were.announcing him to conduct six servi ces in this circuit and Kingswood year Bris tol. lie lias conducted on the average 150 special public servicies a year, during tbe last three years ; and collected many hundred pounds for our chaples and other funds. Net Weight of Hogs. At this season the following table for de termining the net by the gross weight of hogs, may be useful to dealers in pork. It is based upon the Kentucky rule —that is, for one hundred pounds gross deduct twen ty-five pounds ; for the second one .hundr ed pounds subtract twelve and a half pounds, and for the third one hundred pounds de duct six and a quarter pounds. All over three hundred pounds is calculated as net: 100 gross will net 75 105 gross will net 79 110 gross will net So 215 gross will net 88 120 gross will net 92 125 gross will net 90 130 gross will net 101 135 gross will net 105 140 gross will net 110 115 gross will net 11 1 150 gross will lief 118 155 gross will net 1,21 100 gross will net 127 IGS gross will net 131 .170 gross will net 130 175 gross will net 140 ISO gross will net 143 185 gross will net 149 190 gross will net 153 195 gross will net ‘ 158 200 gross will net 162 205 gross will net 167 210 gross will net 171 215 gross will net 175 220 gross will net 181 225 gross will net 185 230 gross will net 190 235 gross will net *195 240 gross will net 200 245 gross will net 209 250 gross will net 214 255 gross will net 218 260 gross will net 223 265 gross will net 228 270 gross will net 232 275 gross will net 237 380 gross will net 242 285 gross will net 246 290 gross will net 251 21F5 gross will net 159 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 ly sixty centimetres (twenty-three and a half inches) high, has just died in Rue de Four, St. Germain, Paris; aged liintey.— He was, when young, in the service of the Duchess d’Orleans, mother of King Louis Philippe. Alter the first revolution broke out, lie was emrdoyd to carry dispatches a broad, and for that purpose was dressed as a baby,the dispatches being concealed in his cap, and a nurse being made carry him. For the last twenty-five years he has lived in the Rue de Four, and durring all tiiat time neverwent out.
