This important discovery has just been patented by
the United States, and it is now confidently recommended
to Manufacturers, Housekeepers, and others. It is a
labor-saving preparation, and costs less than half of any
other article known for cleansing purposes. While it
cleanses, vhltens, and purifies Cotton, Linen, aad
Woollen goods of every description, it will not injure
tho most delicate fabric. Certificates of its value have
been given by some of tho leading manufacturers of the
country, as well as by many tollable housekeepers and
oitizens.

CAUTION.
OJ PRENTISS’S WASHING AND SOOURINQ SOLU
TION.—The undersigned would caution the publio
against the pnrehase of Liquid Washing isolations, pur
porting to be similar to, or equally efficient with, his.
The undersigned is protected by a patent in the manu
facture of .the only article which can bo safely and offi
olent’y used. Bpurious imitations have been got up,
whloh will prove inefficient in cleansing, and deleteri
ous to the fabrlo. Grocers and retailers should be
careful not to purchase the Washing and Scouring So
lution except of us, as they will otherwise render them
selves liable as infringers Purchasers should be care
ful to purchase ONLY PRENTISS’S SOLUTION, as
they will thus avoid all risk of destroying the fabrics
washed. Conclusive proofs can be furnished that this
article will not injure the fabric. 00?t29-Bjn9*th&tti

NEW AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA j a Popular Dic
tionary of General Knowledge. Edited b/Giiono?
Riplry and Charles A Dana. Vol. IV ,pp 775
Imperial octavo. Appltlons, New York} John
Mth'arlttn, Philadelphia.
The first volume of this invaluable repertory of
General Knowledge was issued, last year, in the
midst of tho Panio, and the suooeoding volumes
have appeared with so much regularity that the
completion of the work, in fifteen volumes, may
be expected, with reasonable certainty, in two
years from this time. This is a groat advantage,
never boforo afforded to the purchasers of, we will
not say similar works, but similar in design. In
Prance and Germany, overy Cyclopaedia, within
our knowledge, has been so delayed in the publi
cation, that the early volumos were old in com
parison with the oonoluding ones. Even in Eng
land, the new edition of the Eooyolopiediaßri*
tannionhas beon several years in bands, and as
the letter P has only just been reached, a consi
derable timo must olapso boforo it is finished
Whoover subscribes for the now American Cyclo
pedia may rely upon having the woijk complete,
a satisfactory library of reference, by the dose of
1860.
Tho predominant feature in this work, of de
voting full space to th.o biography of eminent liv
ing persons, is fully preserved in tho present
volume, Thus we have lives of tho following liv
ing men, with others of less note : Dr. Drownson,
C. Bryant, President Buchanan, J. T. Buck
ingham, Cyrus Buokland, (the American machi
nist,) H. T Buckle, Ole Bull, Sir Uenry Bulwer,
Sir Edward and Lady Lytton Bulwer, Chevalier
Bunson, Sir Bernard Burke, Eiihu Burritt, Pro
fessor Bush, Dr. Bushnell, General W. 0 Butler,
General Gabrara, Lord Clyde, Lord Campbell,
Dr. CaDdlish, Marshal Cnnrobort, Lord Cardigan,
Henry C. Carey, Thomas Carlyle, Dr. W. B. Car
penter, Lewis Cass, John Cassin, George Catter.
mole, William and Robert Chambers, Count de
Chambord, Dr Chandler, and E. H Chapin,
Among the more noticeable general articles in
this volume, are Buddhism, Burgundy, Burmsh,
Butterfly, Byron, Cable, Cicsar, Calendering, Cal
houn, Calico, California, Call of Birds, Calvin,
Camel, Cameo, Canada, Canal, Candle, Cannon,
Canon, Cantori, Canvasfcaok, Caoutchouo, Car

sorship of the Pross, Census, Cervantes, Chal
dee Language, Dr. Chalmers, Change, Dr. Chac
ning, Charcoal, and a whole series of memoirs of
the Charleses.
It will readily be seen how attractive is this
work, from its copiousness, accuracy, and variety
of information. The price ($3 a volume) is won
derfully low. It is to bo procured only by sub
scription; and Mr. John McParlan, at the Arcade
Hotel, is the Bole agent for this oity.
PETERSON’S ILLUSTRATED UNIFORM EDITION
OF HOMOHOUB AMERICAN WORKS. Philadel
phia: T. B. Peterson Brothers.
A song which used to be popnlar, in our youth,
dolarcs that
Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt,
While every laugh most merrily draws one out.”
If this be true, and we know it so to bo, this
Humorous American Series, now in course of pub
lication by Petorson & Brothers, is a tremendous
coffin-nail extractor. It includes some of the
richest, and raciest, and most thoroughly original
comic writing in tho language. And, as if this
were not enough, tho volumes are profusely illus
trated, chiefly by Barley (a born Philadelphian),
who has been called tho Cruikshank of America,
but frequently, even in his fun, mingles a depth
of thought and a*fulness of sentiment far Loyond
what the English artist has ever shown any indi
cations of.
A new volumo of this attractive and popular
series Is beforo us. It contains “The Swamp-
Doctor’s Adventures in the Southwest,” comprised
In forty-two raoy sketches, set off with fourteen
original illustrations in Parley's happiest vein.
In faot, the volumo contains two works—“ Odd
Leaves from the Life of a Louisiana Swamp-Doe.
tor,”, by Dr. Madison Tensas; and “Streaks of
Squatter Life,” by J. S ltobb, of St. Louis, geno
rallyknown as “ Solitairo.”, This is ainiraolo of
cheapness, being exactly eight cents a-piece for
oach gem by Barley, with four hundred pages of
first-class humorous letter-press thrown in, very
attraotivoly bound. Tho book is not entirely
laugh-oxciting. The Sketch “A struggle for
Life,” exhibits thrilling and almost tragic power,
and is spiritedly illustrated. Wo strongly give
our commendation to this series of American hu
mor, which promises to be unique and complete,
and is almost unreasonably low-priced.
TUB MUSTEK; or Love aud Liberty. B/B. F. Pass-
UURV. Boston.
This is an Abolition novel, very well written,
with an interesting plot, well-distinguished char
acters, and by no means violent tone. It takes
one phaso of tho “peculiar institution,” and
builds up an illustrative narrative upon it. Yet,
there is suoh comparative moderation In the senti
ment and expression, that even a planter might
read it through without feeling anger. The basis
is undeniably true. We havenotiood manyfelioi
ties of language. Horo is one, whoro a banquet is
spoken of with its courses “heightened to their
utmost zest by tho ministering spirits of tho
world's vintage, some fresh ami sparkling, others
sedate with ago, and sunned to perfection.” In
page 141, the writer breaks into extravaganco
whon ho eulogises Frodoriok Douglass, Baying
that “in form and nervo he looked as though he
might havo borne his plume victorious over tho
proudest Percy that ever splintered a lanco on the
border.”. Onodistinguishing and happy toaturo of
this story is that Us oharaotors are developed by
interesting dialogue. Mr. Prosbury, however,
commits the error of making somo of them use far
hotter language than is employed, evon by tbo
most intolleottial, in ordinary conversation. This
is the principal limit to his success, but wo aro bo
satisfied with his presont porformanco, as a litera
ry effort, that wo hope to moot him again, and
upon more neutral ground.
Now Hotel, Ninth umt Chestnut*
(For TbeFreßii.]
I take this method of calling the attention of
my fellow* stockholders to our investments In this
enterprise. $450 por share is already called in;
only $5O per share remains to be oallod, and when
so near the end of our monoy we find only un
finished walls. One fourth of tho expense of the
hotel has not been mot; one-fourth of the work
ts not yet done. What Is our heat course, with a
ground rent of $19,250 (nineteen thousand two
hundrodand fifty dollars) per annum? Aro wo
going to override every dollar of oar common
Stock hy two dollars of “preferred stock ? If so,
our present investment is a dead loss. The site
we have is a most valuable ono for stores. .Very
little, comparatively, of the inside work now
done would be required to bo removed if wo al*
torod our plan and made our company a store build
ing association, instead of a hotel aJid store build
ing association , which it is very doubtful if we
have the right to do. Judge Road gave an opin
ion about a year sinco that wo had not a right
to build stores and a hotol, as our charter «w?
limited to building a hotel. It is understood
that all would unite with us in an application to
tho Legislature to allow us to change our object
from one not wanted, foe ono much wanted ; for
fivo stores, suoh as Sharploss’s, Lovy’s, Evans’s,
Dailey’s, and Caldwell’s, whero thoro is up-staira
room as well as storo room—in other words, largo
stores with largo rooms, to accommodate large bu
slnoss—aro in our particular locality very muoh
wanted, and would bring high rents. As stores
only , our property would bring muoh more rent
than as mcro shops and an up-stairs hotol, whilo
tho cost would bo at least one-third less, and our
presont investments, in place of being sunk, would
bo profitable.
Horrible Outrage.—An outrage has been
committed by tho soldiers of Belknap, Texas, hi
a difficulty whioh ocourrcd between a citizen Mr
Goorgo Pettyjohn, and a soldior. the soldier was
shot. Tho latter was taken to tho garrison and
placed in tho hospital, and Mr. Pettyjohn delivered
himself up to tho shoriff. Whilst accompanying
tho shorifl up to tho justice’s office, a party of sol
diors, completely armed, belonging to company B
of tho Second cavalry, who had just arrived from
Fort Mason, and to which tho soldier belonged,
camo ovorto tho town and commenced firing upon
Mr. P.» who, in attempting to escape, ran into
Fisher’s Hotel. Tho soldiors, 6ome twenty in
nuinbor, bonded by a sorgoant named Itosondolph,
followed, firing indiscriminately at evory ono they
saw running, and then surrounded tho hotel and
fired into it, until they were stoppod by Major
Thomas, who camo accompanied by a guard ot sol
diers. Mr. P. was literally shot to pieces.
Three Uniiai-m Fellows have been con
fined in the Boston jail since March last, oharßod

The purpose of compelling the admission of Ore
gon as a State of the Union is resolved upon. Al
though it is known that Oregon has a population
not more than half that of Kansas, and that Kan
sas was entitled to admission more than two years
ago on tho same plea by whioh Oregon asks ad
mission, yet Kansas is to bo kept out under the
English bill, aud Oregon admitted. It is proposed
to affix to tho bill admitting Oregon a clause re
pealing the English proviso, which would be is ef
fect admitting Kansas before the close of the pres
ent session. Rest assured, if this is not done, Kan
sas way be kept out till after 1860.
Should a resolution be introduced into Congress
in favor of specific duties, according to the Presi

reflect how many millions of the people's
treasure are absolutely thrown away upon doubt

and in the consumption of tho time of Congress,
this aid to important home interests is but “ a

FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
[Correspondence of The Press.J
Washington, Deo. 8,1858.
You know that I am a mere spectator here, jot
tiDg down tho excitements, ,tho aberrations, and
tho sinister designs of those entrusted with power,
often under the misapprehension that the recipi
ents are statesmen. It is but'jast to myself to say
that I take 'more pleasure in'approving the acts
and sayings of our public servants, than in con
demning their general policy. 1 With a strong de
siro to- he .guided .by lofty patriotism and exaot_
justice, thero are many things transpiring- Here ■
which must necessarily pass under my notice for
condemnation only. However sternly I may Con

feeling influences my conduot..
One of your correspondents has several times
called your attention to the head of the Post Office
Department, and expressed an apprehension that
his inordinate love of display and.groping ambi
tion would probably bring the deportment into
disgrace. That venerable and vain-glorious func
tionary has succeeded, beyond all parallel in tho
history of our country, in proving his total unfit
ness for the position ho at present occupies, and
yet his aspiring hopes towor to the loftiest position
in the nation. It is a melancholy reflection, that
in many instances, ns the mind and body give
Unmistakable proofs of deoay, the grasping de
sires and inveterate schemes of superannuated'
politicians gather both strength and pertinacity.
It may bo a wise provision of nature, but I doubt
its ndvnntQgo.
For the first timo in tho history of our country,
except In the instance of Goneral Jackson’s
apology for the incompefconcy of Postmaster Gene
ral W. T Barry, has the President been compelled
to descend from his high position, in order to ex
cuse or extenuato tho mismanagement of the Post
Office Department, in his annual message. Mr
Buohanan must give that department more atten
tion, or else its present wretched arrangements
and unwarranted expenditures will draw public
attention to its misfeasance, which may eventuate
in the abolishment of that branch of our Govern
ment. Tho President does not, in a straightfor
ward mannor, accuse the Postinastor General of
too lavish an expondituro of the publio money;
but he says that tho head of that department “ is
placed in a most embarrassing position by tho ex
isting law, which he is obligod to carry into effeot,
having no other alternative.” This statement of
Mr. Buobnnan shows his own disingenuousness.
The law which ho alludes to applies only to the
establishment of mail routes, in which is a pro
vision commanding the Postmaster General to put
them into operation. In all othor cases, where this
mandatory olauso is omitted, ihe Postmaster Gene
ral has discretionary power, to adopt or forego
actual mail service onauch routes. What else but
oxtravnganoe is to bo looked for from a Postmaster
whoso eyes are dazzled with the spotless whiteness
of tho President’s mansion ; but whose devouring
ambition would bo temporarily satisfied with Mr.
Breckinridge’s chair ! Mr. Brown stands greatly
in neod of political friends, and, keenly feeling
this want, ho seems to have boon willing to cstab*
lish mail routes whorever solicited by men of in
fluence. This will account for the excessive in
crease of expenditure in his department.
Mr. Buchanan, in hts friendly but lame expla
nation, deolarea that the deficit of the last fiscal
year amounted to more than $4,400,000 ! and that
for the presont year the deficit will reach $6,200,-
000!!! He asserts, that “ the cause of these largo
defioits is mainly attributable to the increased ex
pense of transporting tho mail.” He further al
leges, that “ in 1852, tho sum paid for this ser
vice (transporting the mails) was but a fraction
above 54.250,000. Since that year it has annual
ly increased, until in 1853 it has reaohed more
than $8,250,000, and in 1850 it will amount to
more than $10,000,000 1' What other motive
Mr. Buohanan oan havo in preparing the way for
this enormous expenditure, than that of permit
ting tho Postmaster General to uso tho publio mo
noy with profuso recklessness, in order to advance
the chances of his nomination to the Vico Presi
dency, I am at a loss to imagine This supposi
tion is generally and frooly expressed in all tho
Washington hotels. No other reasonable conclu
sion can enter the mind.
Now, how stand the faots in Mr. Brown’s case ?
See how plain a statement, corroborated by sta
tistical proofs, shall put both him and tho Presi
dent down. From tho year 1852 to 1557 thoro was
a regular annual increase of 2 000 miles of rail
road, and a corresponding regular annual increase
of $500,000 in expenses; but Mr Brown has, in
1858 the first full year of his term of office, with
an addition of only 670 miles of railroad, increased
tho expenses of transportation fer that yoar to the
suspicions amount of $1,006,721, without either of
tho groat ovorland mail routes having reooived a
singlo cent for thoir sorvices. Mon in high po
sitions, who are mindful of their characters, how
ever muoh. they may be influenced by ambitious
designs? should bo oareful how they vonture asser
tions that can easily bo controverted by published
faots. Mr. Buohanan says, that “for tho service
of 1859, tho expenditures (of the Post Office De
partment) will amount to more than $10,000,000.”
Of oourso this has been predetermined, and I would
express no surprise if thoy were to swell groatly
beyond that sum, as a necessary concomitant of
tho anxiety felt for tho nominations of tho Charles
ton Convention. Until tho succession to Mr.
Breokinridge shall havo bcon determined—and
this carries with it the flattering expectations of
Mr. Buohanan himself that tho country can be put
into such a belligerent condition with foreign na
tions as to require his own renomiaation—there
will he the game wasteful extravagance that I

Both the President and Postmaster General have
recommended the inerease. of letter-postage from
three cents to five cents—thus virtually asking
each man, woman, and child over seven years of
age, within our Union, to contribute two cents
eaoh towards carrying into execution their ambi

In ofder to multiply friends, the President de
clares that the expenses of the department, might
be reduced by empowering the Postmaster General
to carry the mails iu rural districts on horseback,
or by any other conveyance, instead of carrying
them in coaohes, as at present. The Postmaster
General already has the authority, by act of Ocm
gress, to cause the mails to be carried by any con
veyance he chooses to fleleot, without farther appli
caiion to Congress. The inhabitants of the rural
districts appear to be held in very light esteem by
the President The coaghes whioh now.oarrytbe
mails generally carry passengers, andy .without
the aid of the Post Office Department, many of
them would oease running, and thus, to a great

Democratic .Meeting at Cadiz, Ohio/
A correspondent sends us an account of a large
Democratic moetiug held at Cadiz, Ohio, oh the
23d ultimo, which was organized by calling Hen
ry Boyles to the chair, and appointing N. A. Han
na secretary. It was ably addressed by John S.
Pearce, Esq. The resolutions appended below
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, It is the duty of the Democratic party
to guard with sleepless vigilance the principles
upon- which it is organized, and .to frown down
and protest against every attempt to violate them,-
whether in the Presidency, the. Cabinet, or. the <
legislative halls of ,the nation; and whereas, it is
,the further duty of-*every patriotic people to re- w
ward merit, and punish demerit: therefore*, be it
resolved by the Democrats oLHarrison oounty, in.
-general meeting assembled :
■’ First/That we re-endorse the Cincinnati national
Democratic platform of 1856, and do hereby re

therein enunciated; it being otearly the dootrine.
taught by the immortal Jefferson, when he said'
that .“Governments were only legitimately insti
tuted among men when they derived ' their just
powers from the consent of the governed.”
‘ Second. That while we approve the foreign
policy-of the present • Administration,' we are
forced to disapprove, firmly and decidedly, its ul- 1
timate pdioy in regard to Kansas, deeming it a
violation of the cherished principle of popular
Sovereignty, and a oulpable disregard of the pled
ges made by the Democratic party to"the people in
T 856. when James-Buchanan was eleoted to the
Presidency. -
< Third. That we believe that, the people of a
Territory, like those of a.State, are fully capable
Of selecting their own institutions! and that when
they have, by-fair expression of the majority,

| Fourth. That tho English bill is unfair in its
provisions, despotic in its requirements, and not in
keeping with tneDemooratio platform and pledgea •
of 1856. and that we iherefore in-favor of and .
demand its immediate .and unconditional repeal,
j Fifth. That while we Icststupob ft as a general

the State and National Governments, and that in
tho o inion of this meeting, the late act of Con

Washington to $3,000 per session, or from $8 to
$2O per day, should be forthwith repealed or modi

the Democratic dootrine of popular sovereignty
by Stephen A. "Douglas, of Illinois, and John W.

Tenth. That we consider Stephen A. Douglas, of
Illinois, to bo tho true expounder, embodiment,
and fearless defender of the principles of tho Na

tho next National Democratic Convention as a
candidate for the Presidency in 1860.
GENERAL NEWS.
A Negro was whipped to death recently iu
Northumberland county, V*., under the following
cirenmstnnoes. as narrated by the Alexandria
Sentinel: “There had been a party of persons
engaged in traffioing with servants for stolen
goods, and they carried it to such an extent that
the community in self-defence determined to put a
stop to it, and held a publio meeting and passed
resolutions notifying tho perpetrators of so much,
evil to dispose of their property, and leave iho
county in a limited timo, and gesoronsly provided
to seoure them against loss in case they had to Fell
at a sacrifice. The time appointed arrived, but
they still remained, when a number of persons re
paired to the premises of ono of the party, and in
approaching the house discovered signs of a fcoffie
having taken place, and, upon examination. four.d,
a short distance on, the remains of a colored man,
in a horribly lacerated condition, oovered over
with dirt After tho body had been found, a man
who lives in tho neighborhood testified that he
had been a witness of the murder, and had been
deterred from revealing it by the threat of the
murderers. He said that several days before,, as
ho was passing by the placo, he heard the oriea
and groans of a person apparently in great agony,
and upon leaving his wagon and going to the spot
whence they proceeded, he found the colored man
suspendod to a tree and the persons mentioned
cutting him tjbDieces with branches of switches,
and bad at tnVsame time a lire burning under
him, and that he out him down as soon as he could,
hut too late to save his life, as he died soon after,
suffering intense pain. He also said that there
were some freo negro accomplices, who cut the
awitohes with whioh he was scourged. They were
immediately arrested and given nine-and-thirty
on their baro backs, and ordered to leave the
county The excitement was so great that many
were in favor of lynching the demons who com
mitted tho foul aot; but law aud order prevailed,
and they were handed over to the authorities, who
committed them to jail to await the judgment of
tho law. The reason given for the commission of
the deed was, that the negro, with whom they
had boon trading, had informed against them-
His name was Bill, and ho belonged to Mr. George
Brent. The coroner’s inquest brought in a ver
dict that the deceased was whipped to death, and
implicating four men named Dlackerly. and two
others named Coleman and Marsh, in aiding and
abetting in his death.”
