Davenport’* Balm Fi-e*rpvln* Proces*. In the Times of the 7th Inst., editorial reference was made to the new preserving process discovered nnd patent'd by J. W. Davenport, of Dallas, Texas. In our columns this morning will bo found an advorlisement in which the wonderful nv.rlta of this new I even clou are set forth, and attested by many of the most scien tific and prominent men in Texas, who are reforrod to by permission. The Balm preserved fruits and vegetables have boon used and recommended by largo numbers of gentlemen In Mississippi, nnd the elements of the Balm carefully examined by distinguished phy sicians, who pronounce It free from all In jurious agents. But the most wonderful feature of the discovery Is the cheapness of the process by which fruits, vegetables anil meats may bo kept perfectly fresh and sweet for an indeiliilte time. Mr. 11. Smith Is now in the city to sell county rights, and he will be glad to show samples of the Halm Preserves to all who may desire to see for themselves, He can be found at A. M.

The Extinguisher hose of which several sections were bursted at the last lire, has been mended nnd the whole number of sections, 9in all, aro in good repair. The repairing has been done entirely at the expense of the Hook and Ladder Company, and they hope that It will stand the tost of many future llres. The Extinguisher hose is now composed of 3 long and 2 nhort sections which is directly attached to the engine; 4other sections in good re pair are in readiness to replace such as may at any future time burst. The hose now used by the Extinguisher has been In operation about four years and is necessarily beginning to show the efforts of time. New hose for It will cost about $150.00, which they will buy when the old hose gives entirely out, but not before.

A BRIDE FOR TlJft GtINRY JORDAN.” ANOTHER I!BAUTINl!L LITTLES STEAMER To BK BROUGHT FROM LOUISVILLE, KY. NEGOTIATIONS GOING FORWARD FOR HER PURCHASE. Having heard for several days that the bountiful patronage extended on all sides to the Ind' pendent steamer, theG. Gunby Jordan, warranted the immediate pur chase of another little steamer to lake Ike surplu a trade, wo yesterday found out tho following facts: That already negotia tions have been carried on between Capt. Henry Moore, of tho “Jordan,” and par ties In Louisville, arid he finds out tlmt he can get the steamer “Hope”—which Ims been 1 lunched from tho docks but a few weeks. Tbo subscriptions for her purchase we learn have been made up entirely from PLANTERS ALONG THE RIVER. The steamer has received tho name “Hope,” which, If she is bought and brought to our river can be changed to suit our locality, though her present name Is by no means an Inappropriate one, HER DIMENSIONS. Tho "Hope" is 108 feet long and 21 feet wide and Ims two 19 inch cylinders 8 feet long. She is very nearly the size of the Wylly and runs lightly. If her purchase is effected, Charley Marks, now tho first mate on theG. Gunby G ordan, will PROCEED To LOUISVILLE select her crow and bring her as he did the Jordan, around by tlm Gulf, and on her trip around, she wilt no doubt bring a large crowd of Columbus excursionists This little steamer has been promised all THE ORANGE TRADE from the wealthy planters in the vicinity of, and having their plantations on the Chipol i river, one of the tributaries of tho Apalachicola. By reason of her size she will bo üble to navigate along by the groves themselves and save tho planters tho expense and trouble of shipping their oranges a long way by cumbrous barges and 11 its, which they aro compelled to do at present. Those planters also promise thonew boat full freight charges which is 50c. on every box. Having received ho much encourage ment from tho wide awake and thrifty planters along the river, we have no doubt but that the subscriptions have all been received by Captain Moore by this time, and that less than sixty days from this dute she like the Jordan,may be float ing triumphantly on the broad bosom ol the Chattahoochee. The lliiseni.ini sneial Club. The Rosemont Club met on Thursday evening last at the residence of Mrs. Co mer on Rose Hill. In spite of the threat ening weather, there wus quite a full at tendance. The evening, as usual, passed mo-t pleasantly. One of the most inter esting features was a half hour’s talk by the kind hostess herself, who entertained the club with a most interesting account of what she saw and beard in her travels in the old world. She did not finish the entire tour in this single talk, but only carried tier hearers over the sea, through England and France and le'.t them among the lakes of Switzerland until next time tho Club meets. The veritable M—-tt O’B—nee Mrs. Jarley was present, and enlivened the evening with some of his inimitable songs. We omitted st the time, unintentional ly, to notice a charming tea party given by Mrs. Comer to the members of the Club some two weeks ago. It was a most delightful affair. This excellent lady is very fond of young people, and to those who have the honor of her acqu liutanee, her beautiful home is always jpp ui. The C ub will meet at her house again in August. * FKAUAI i:\TS. —Tho unl’orms of the officers of the Central Line look handsome; and the ot- Itoers do, too, as to that matter. —Haven’t heard of any large chicken snakes lately; but still the ptudont house keeper socs to the fastening of her coups. —Quito a number of “dusters” of the usual length and color arrived Gy the fast train.

We, the under*igned, do hereby certify t*at we have this day fully tested Davenport's Balm Preserving Process by mating greeu corn turns tees and a bird, so preserved, aud found the corn as iresn and sweet as if just pluck and and boiled. Tho tomatoes, waich were aten raw with vin* gar. were as fresh ahd luscious as if justlrom tho vino, and tue bird was delicious, iresh aud juicy. P F WHITEHEAD.

The corn tested was put up last July, tho toma to*** two or three weeks a*o, aud the bird was a .at papabotlo, ordinarily almost impossible to pres rve Of th s process, the Dadas, Texas, Commercial, of the loth says: T -day, the writer visited Dr. Davenport’s res idence aud re-msp cted some of the materials which have been preserved by tho pr*>cess. Tne demonstration of its success ar<- as complete as the eNidene**B of the sense ot sight, touch and ta-*te c*u and make them Green corn, plucked now nearly two years .-go, is as fresh, nutritious and as aweo a* if tne shucks had just b* en takeu from it. Tomatoes are. b. virtue of the preser vative, always ripe and luscious Asparagus can* well spoil after subjection to the Doctor’s treatment. And passing from the vegetable kingdom to the animal, the experiment*—per haps W 6 should say triumphw-are startling. What can the reader say t > oysters six months out of their shells, but smelling and tasting like they w re just delivered from the grappling hooi.s that dislodged them from their beds? Mutton is a hard thong to keep, eep cia'ly iu warm weath er, but Dr. Davenport, having fresh mutton once, can have it always, if he likes. At least he has some that is just as fresh aud juicy now as the butcher delivered it s x months ago Beef seems to tke kindly to >he i rocess, The most critical tests have been applied, and the meat invariably comes out fresh as a daisy.
