air For a week past we have had several
showers of rain, and on Tuesday of last week
we had a shower accompanied with a great deal
of thunder and lightning, which struck the new

Accinarr.—Tho five o'clock train of cars,
on Thursday last, when about ono mile west
of this place, ran against and killed a valuable
cow belonging to Mr. John Warfield. Two of
the passenger cars was thrown from the track
and severely damaged. Wo are happy to state
that no persons were hurt. The wreck was re
moved in a very short time, causing but little
detention to other trains.
36r The old Lutheran Church in Chambers

of erecting a new ono on the same spot. The
corner stone was opened on Friday week. The
glass and coin in the stone were found in a
state of preservation; but the papers and books
were mouldered away into ashes. The Bible
was completely destroyed—nothing but the
clasps and remnants of leather remaining. It
was enclosed in a heavy tin case. The stone
being porous, moisture had passed through by

Nebraska-Kansas and Homestead Bills.
Having received a copy of the Lion. Diehard
Brodhead's views, expressed in the Senate of
the United States, on the Nebraska•lCansas and
Homestead Bills, mid after commencing a
comment on them, we met with HOMO remarks
in the York Republican, which coincide so well
with our view, that we adopt them:
The Senator voted for the Nebraska Iniquity,
and seems to take pride in it, although he is
evidently conscious that he has not in so doing
faithfully reflected the real popular sentiment
of the greet free State which lie in part pro
fesses to represent. He was, however, not
quite orthodox in the view of his political use
elates inasmuch no lie voted on that bill to re
fuse the right of suffrage. to unnaturalized
foreigners, nud on the Homestead bill also
voted to withhold from the same class the right
of entering upon, and appropriating the Public
Lands to their own use without pay and on
equal terms with American citizens born on
the soil or who had duly become such by natu
ralization. Our Senator has long been consid
ered a good deal of a "Know Nothing," and in
his course on this matter, he is supposed to
have shown a decided proclivity towards the
peculiar doctrines of that myeterious organiza
tion. We of course cannot follow the Senator
through all his views—in this hot weather, they
would become "dissolving views" for us. We
therefore select only one or two things from his
camera obscura. Like Connecticut TOME;
he does not seem to have much faith in the
"Right of Instruction" when applied to himself,
for after stating that both the Democratic and
Whig Conventions of Pennsylvania passed re
solutions in favor of the Homestead Bill, he
still, "believing that it is a bill subversive of
principle and injurious to his State, felt bound,
by a stern sense of duty, to oppose it to the
utmost of his ability." This is a modest way
the Senator has of setting his judgment and
"sense of duty" above those of others. He says
further:—"l have a proper regard for enlight
ened popular opinion, but do not think conven
tions and State Legislatures always its true
exponent." Was the Loco Foco Convention
"its true exponent" when it passed resolutions
in favor of Senator Brodhead's public course?
Was the State Legislature "its tree exponent"
when it elected him to the U. S. Senate? Does
the Bight of Instruction depend upon whether
your bull gores my ox, or my bull gores your
ow? The fact is, that the Senator is practical
ly Whig, but theoretically wrong; or, as the
Judges of the Supreme Court sometimes say
of the "Court below," he is right, but for a
wrong reason.
We find another singular doctrine for a pro
fessed democrat in these "views." Mr. Brod
head says t—"l know that free-holders aro the
natural and best supporters of a free govern
ment." Now, suppose some Whig had said
that, how the whole Loccifoco pack would have
opened upon him, and cited the declaration as
a proof of federalism and aristocracy. But
coming front a "democrat" it is, wet suppose,
all right. Will poor men, who have neither
houses nor lands, but aro only torn with stout
arms and honest hearts—or, even bank Stock
holders and Presidents—"stick a pin there?"
The Senator, further pursuing his views of
the right of Instruction, spoke the following
paragraph, which is worthy of attention t—
`•The State is entitled not only to my indus
try, but to my judgment. I give it upon this
occasion against the bill notwithstanding the
resolutions of the two conventions. The con
ventions and the Legislature sometimes start
wrong in Pennsylvania upon great National
questions. They started wrong, in my day, on
the question of the Bank of the United States,
on the question of the Sub• Treasury and the
Wilmot proviso, and it took the people some
time to put them right. The recent Democra
tic Convention which re-nominated Gov. Bigler
started wrong, by passing a resolutions in fa
vor of the homestead bill; and by sense species
of political thimble-rigging, a few members
thereof made the convention dodge the question
contained in the Nebraska bill. Nay, more,
they prevented a majority front passing a reset•
lotion in favor of it; for there were a largo ma
jority in its favor. If the convention thought
proper to express an opinion in regard to one
great measure before Congress, it surely should
not have been too timid to consider another of
equal importance in every point of view. But
I feel assured that the gentleman the conven
tion placed before the people Ibr Governor, will
not shrink from a proper support of one of the
measures of the Democratic party. Do main
tained, with great power and ability,
the true faith upon the same subject when he
was a candidate its 1851, and was succeosful.
It may be policy for public men not to meet
fairly. or to withhold an expression of opinion,
upon great questions; but I never thought so. I
have always acted upon the belief that the course
of sound policy was the course of true duty."
The Senator arraigns Conventions and the
Legislature, but relies upon the peopleand Gov.
Bigler. Ile denounces the dodging of the Neb.
casks question by the Convention, but thinks
the Governor will not 'shrink' from its support .
Alas! the oracle is still sealed and dumb—the
Governor dodges too, and we doubt whether ev
en Senator Brodhead will prevail on him to
speak out. But our capful' of air is exhausted
and our powers of endurance have gone with it.
THE NEW LAND litt.t.—The following are
the principles embodied in the Homestead bill,
recently introduced into the Senate by Mr.
Hunter, and which has passed that body :
1. A reduction or graduation of the prices of
the public lands.
2. Preemption rights, giving the first right
to the States respectively in which the public
lands may lie, to the whole of them, at the re.
duced and graduated prices.
it. Preemption grants of land to States for
rail roads and canals, at the reduced and gra.
cleated prices.
4. Pre-emption rights to hold hood for five
years to actual settlers, heads of families, for
one hundred and sixty acres earl:, at the lowest
reduction of twenty-five cents per acre, or
twelve and a half cents for such lands as :nay
have been in the market over twenty years.
Distressing Case of Hydrophobia.
The Dayton (6.) Empire notices an instance
ore man in Montgomery county, Ohio who
was bitten some time ago by a dog, and who
now has symptoms like hydrophobia
_ .
"A few days ago, while in the room with his
wife, he felt rather strangely, and seemed inch'.
ned to bito and grate his teeth with all the pow
er he possessed. lie asked his wife to hand
him a piece of sole-loather, which being crimpli.
ed with, he hit it through in several places, and
continued biting until it was chewed to pieces.
He then requested her to hand him a chip.
which he also torn into splinters with his teeth.
At this point he was slued with very strange
and wild sensations, and he told his wife she
had better leave the room, as he was fearful he
might commit some personal violence. She
did 80 immediately, and locked the door. Ho
tried to get out, but finding the door locked, he
went to the window, which was in the second
or third story of the house, out, perfect
ly crazy and raving, as is supposed, with hydro
phobia. He ran several miles before he was
overtaken, screaming and crying with the moat
intense 'agony. lie was finally secured and
Salo of the Public Works.
The last "Repv6limn", has a chapter on the
Sale of the Public Works, which deserves the
attention of the People. It does not advocate
a sale—it says nothing to commit the demo
emetic party to a sale. It argues that if the
People want a sale, they must elect democrats
to the Legislature. It says that some of the
Whigs in the last Legislature, who favored a
sale, were its worst enemies. It takes the po
sition that the "Whig press and Whig party.
have done snore to prevent a sale than all the
other influences combined!" . Such are the ex
traordinary allegations of this champion of dem
ocracy. The Republic then goes on to say:
"liemeemts have ruled the State, and they
will continue to do so. The next legislature
will almost certainly he largely democratic, the
opinions of Whig politicians to the contrary
notwithstanding. Democrats at the last session
showed a patriotic desire to take this question
away from politics. They die, not permit the
mere question of keeping a few men m office to
influence their votes m the slightest. They per
formed n duty to the people regardless of the
machinery of party. and they will do so again.
We say therefore, if the largo mass of our citi
zens who deem this subject tooimportant tube
Made the football of politicians, would further
the sale of the public works, they will, oven in
Whig counties, send democrats to the legisla
ture. Such men will be able to exercise some
influence in that body, because they are of the
dominant party; while Whigs in the same posi
tion, would be in a great degree powerless to ef
feet any good, in a great measure of this kind."
We will not question the idea hero that the
democrats will be the "dominant party" in the
next Legislature—though it is not so sure. It
is true that "democrats have ruled the State,"
and it is equally true that they have not sold
the public works. That is a significant MAW
show they are not in favor of id It is equally
tree that Governor Bigler in his message never
advocated a sale. It is also true, that n major
ity of the democratic members of the Legisla
ture voted against a sale—that the Democratic
State Convention which nominated Gov. Bigler
did not adopt n resolution favorable to a sale,
nor did the democratic party in Chester county
ever adopt a resolution in favor of a sale.
And yCt, says the Republican, if the People
would "further a sale, they will, even in Whig
counties, send Democrats to the Legislature I"
Advice most gravely given, but requiring, we
should judge, some effort even for demeenttsto
swallow. How the office-holders on the rail
road and mud-bosses, must bo laughing in their
sleeves, if they suppose the whigs are so green
as to vote with them for the "democratic candi
dates!" The Editor must presume largely on
the gullibility of Whigs as well as Democrats,
who are in favor of a sale, it he supposes their
votes are to be had for 'democratic candidates,'
without better evidence that it is the best
means of selling the public works than his
word! If the democratic party is in favor of a
sale, why has it not said so? If Bigler is in fa
vor of a Sale, why not say so?— Vit. Record.
Gov. Bigler and the Stump.
Our readers will remember that in 1851, the
opposition papers denounced Govenor Johnston
in unmeasured terms, for neglecting his official
duties nod stumping the State. in order to se
cure his re-election. And within the last few
weeks, quite a number of thorn have said, that
although Governor Bigler was justifiable in ad
dressing the people at large, three Ve:W3 ago,
when he had no public duties to perform, such
n course nt this time could not be defended; as
his obligations ns Governor of Theinsylvain,
would require his undivided attention at the
seat of government. In the face of these ante
cedents Mr. Bonham, the chairmanof the Dem
ocratic State Committee, publishes a letter
from his Excellency, from which we make the
following extract:
"I have no opinions to disguise on any sub
ject to be in the least affected by the election
of a Governor—am willing and anx
ious that each elector should understand, 113111 r
as possible, the effect of the vote which he is
about to cast. Besides, my official nets are
matters of public concorn, and in passing up
on their wisdom, justice and policy, the people
have a right to all the facts and nifiirmation
that can be thrown before them. I shall,
therefore, stand prepared to account for my
stewardsiiip byspeaking to our party friends in
the usual way, or, if preferred, by meeting
Judge Pollock before the people, without dis
tinction of party, and discussing political top
ics, past and present, State and National. great
and small. This lam willing to do to the ex
tent of my spare time and limited abilities, and
during the continuance of my health, which,
thank God, is now excellent."
We are not informed as to the course likely
to be pursued by Judge Pollock or the chain»an
of the Whig State Central Committee, with re
ference to this communication. If consulted.
our advice would be,
that Col. Curtin should
forthwith challenge Governor Bigler, through
Mr. Bonham, to meet Judge Pollock on the
stump; on condition, that previous to commen
cing such canvass, each party should hand to
his antagonist in writing, his position, unequiv
ocally expressed, on the following questions, no
well as on any other important issues that
may suggest themselves to either party.
Aro you in favor of the repeal of that portion
of the Kansas and Nebraska Bill, that permits
the existence of Slavery within said Territories?
Are you in lhvor of the enactment of a law,
to dispose of all the Public Works belonging to
the Commonwealth ?
Are you in favor of the Bible being used in
our common schools without. note or comment?
Are you oppose - I to any division of the pub•
lie school fund?
As the Governor informs no that he has °no
opinions to disguise," he will no doubt give us
his long concealed sentiments on the above
questions, when he does so, Judge Pollock will
be at his service; but until he shall have avow
ed at least one principle, he can hardly expect
the People's candidate, who has boldly uttered
his views from the commencement of the cam•
paign, to notice his letter.—lliarisburg
[From the Phila. Daily News.
Where was Judge Black
It appears from the proceedings of the Su
premo Court yesterday that this distinguished
functionary was not on the bench when it was
virivally decided that the orderly and decent
observance of the Christian Sabbath ns °stab.
linked by our worthy Mayor, must no longer be
maintained, and that in spite of his praisewor
thy efforts to suppress the evil, Once thousand
dunking shops may be opened to deal outtheir
fiery poison to our fathers and husbands and
brothers on the next Sabbath. The question
before the Court was a most important one, a
question in which every citizen leek; a warm in
terest, and on the decision of which thousands
were waiting wills intense anxiety. Itut where
was his houor—the Chief Justice? The Judge
is a candidate for reelection at the approach
ing fall campaign, and it is important to know
his opinion on such a vital question as was pre.
seined yesterday. Wo fear that his absenting
himself frosts the bench, was not amideLtal.—
However, such a course may be excused among
politicians, it is altogether unjustifiable in a
lodge. But we hope his honor may he able to
clear himself from the imputation that will
otherwise be entertained by
Gus. PIERCE I,l' NI, HASIPSIIIM—Ns man
since the days of Benedict Arnold ever lost
caste with the American people more rapidly
than Gen. Pierce. At first his weakness and
folly became obvious in his appointments,which
subjected him to ridicule. But more recently
his utter disregard of his own professions, and
his treachery to freedom, have brought upon
him the contempt of the community. Even in
his own native State, whore two years ago he
stood so high, he is regarded n 3 unworthyof the
confidence 01 the people. The late defeat of
his political friends in New I Eampshire is full
evidence of this. The failure to elect a United

full proof that hia popularity at home has de

EQuNit Alt
Tho Revenues upon the Public Wosks.—
Worie and Worse 1
We copy front the Village Reenrtl,whicli says
That the Managers of the Public Works, for
some reason, had studiously concealed the in
come forseveral months past. The circumstance
was remarkable, and wo expressed nor fears
that there was reason to liClieve it indicated an
alarming falling off in the revenueof the State.
The Harrisburg Telegraph of last week, con
tains the following tabular statement from the
office of the Auditor General, which more than
realizes our worst apprehensions. We invite to
this statement, the sober attention of the tax
payers of the State, It exhibits a falling oft in
the revenues during the. last six months, as
compared with-1853, of $166,224 101! This
terrible tilling off, is owing to the rates of toll
established for the year 1854, and which also
defeated a sale of the main line. The state
ment is furnished by the Chief Clerk of the
Auditor General's department:
p re sent fiscal year. Last fisral yea,
December $204,530 46 $112,302 26
January 57,784 12 95,606 13
February 04,753 89 69,355 35
March 84,939 21 147,779 03
April 113,434 40 121,133 49
May 139,772 89 192,561 31
June 232,840 68 232,310 09
900,055 65 975,031 55
The receipts for December, given above, arc
under the old toll sheets.
It will be remarked that this alarming re
duction of revenue has occurred at a time
when the trade and business have flourished to
an unusual degree—and when large increase of
revenues was predicted by those who manage
the State and its Canals. See the Governor's
last message. See also the Canal COM 11113•
sinners' report. If the recension fall off $160.-
000 in 6 months, what will be the loss in 12
months? The result is easily calculated I
Could a more forcible argument be presented
in favor of a sale of the Public Works ? The
revenues in all previous years have never real
ized expectatimis ; they have disappointed eve
ry hope. And yet in the face of all these facts,
the dominant party still cling to the Public
Works as they cling to their lives. The light
of experience is lost upon them. Nothing can de
stroy the infatuation which has seized them. Ito
the very last report of the Canal Board, a large
increase in 185.1, over the previous year is pre
dicted. The income of the year for 185:3, is
stated to be $1,893,216 50. Estimated income
for 1852, $2,100,000. Increase, $206.752 50!!
Instead of the increase predicted, we have a
decrease almost to an equal amount! Thu:{ it
has always been. It is not likely that the din.
crepancy betweeen what was predicted for '5l
and what has been realized, will shake the con
fidence of those especially, who hold ollices on
the public works, and who have it in their cow
er to build up and pull down those who con
trol the sale of the works. We have a gloomy
financial prospect before us, unless the people
will rise in their majesty—take the reins in
their own hands and absolve themselves forev
er from the public works.
Biglerisms,
We have received the tbllowing items of in
formation within a few days, on the most un
doubted authority:
First.—Governor Bigler has just pardoned
three unmitigated scoundrels, who were con
victed of high crimes in Philadelphia, and sen
tenced to prison. Supposed reason—they and
their friends have votes, and the Governor
wants them.
Second.—During his last trip to the city he
visited an extensive lager beer establishment in
Moyamensing,. Supposed reason—ditto, ditto.
Third.—A boat captain of Northumberland,
Pa., lately attempted to sell a free colored boy
in his employment, in Maryland, and was ar
rested for kidnapping, but was released through
the exertions of his Excellency. Supposed
reason—ditto, ditto. The last nam ed scoundrel
has, since his release, defrauded his creditors,
forsaken his family, and fled to parts unknown,
and we fear that the ungrateful. wretch will not
return in time to vote for the Governor. Ver

The Treaty with Japan.
It is understood that this treaty has beets ra
tified by the Senate. It is short, and contains
twelve articles. It is not, as has been asserted,
a commercial treaty, but as its first article inti
mates, a mere agreement of pence and amity
between the two nations. The port of Simoda,
in the Principality of Idea, is to be immediate
ly opened to American vessels, to obtain wood,
water, provisions, coal, and other necessaries,
upon paying a fixed price. The port of Hake
dada, in the Principality of Matsmai, is to be
opened in a year. Shipwrecked crews are to
be assisted and conveyed, as soon as possible,
to these ports. They shall not be subject to
confinement, but shall be free. MI Americans
residing at these two ports, shall not be placed
under the restraint that the Dutch and Chinese
are at Nangasaki, but shall be allowed to go
where they please within seven Japanese miles
of the ports assigned them. If any goods are
wished, or anything else beyond mere necessi
ties, it shall be regulated by future agreement.
The ships of the United States shall be permit
ted to exchange gold and silver coin and oth
er articles of goods, for articles of goods, under
such riclulations as shall be temporarily estab
lished by the Japanese Government for that
purpose. Necessary articles for ships are only
to be obtained through the agency of special
Japanese officers. Ships are to resort to no
other ports, except the two specified, unless
driven thither by stress of weather. Commis
of the United States shall be allowed to reside
at Simoda, if deemed necessary. These in
all the provisions, and although of themselves
they amount to but little, are important, as
opening that immense empire to our vessels.

The Romish Propaganda.
The annual report of the Roman Catholic
Propaganda for the last year has just been pub
lished - in Europe, and from it we glean some
information of interest. This report states
that during the year 1853, the receipts of the
Propaganda amounted to $3,953,149 francs,
and the ballance containing from the year 18-
62, was 1,245,112 francs; thus giving a total
fund of 5,198,262, francs for operations. Of
this large amount of money, France contribu
ted 2,361,148 francs, Sardinia 257,121 francs,
Prussia 200,998 francs, and Great Britain 193,-
716. The manner in which this was expended
is thus stated, the amounts being in francs :

jests, from our exchange 3, which would materi

Foreigners vs. Americans.
The Native American or Know Nothing
movement, as it is styled, has been urged upon
the people. They have forborne until forbear
ance has ceased to be a virtue. They have
afforded an asylum to the oppressed of all na
tions; and how have they been repaid? The
emigrants in our country have clubbed together
in clonish squads, and, while affecting love and
patriotism fur the land of their adoption, have
bid defiance to our laws and attempted to un
dermine our institutions. They celebrate, with
uproarious fervor, the customs and saints' days
of the land they have abandoned, and their
riotous conduct makes them dreaded by all
lovers of law and order. They would do away
with our Sabbath, they world exterminate our
Bible, and exterminate no if they had the pow
er, but we know just enough not to give it to
them. They growl if Americans organize so
cieties for mere social purposes, and deny them
the right to do so, while they organize ns Irish
Americans, Irish Greens, le., &c.; German
Republicans, &c., &c. The Irish, of all other
foreigners, have been the most conspicuous to
thrust themselves into our political affairs, even
before they have attained the right of citizen
ship. On the public works they have indulged
in their clannish and brutal propensities to the
terror of the surrounding neighborhood. Their
prominent papers have styled Americans "erne.
arils, and sorts of cowards," and the early set
tlers of the country "PIRATES." At "cVash
ington, you will find robust Irishmen filling
stations the duties of which could be well dis
charged' by men who have been maimed while
fighting the battles of their country. That is
not all—old American soldiers have applied
and have been refused, thrust aside to snake
room for the "better Republicans." The last
item is, that two Americans who commanded
companies in the Mexican war, have been re
moved from offices, the salary of each being
$l5OO per year, and. an Irishman and a Ger
man appointed in their places. Neither of these
.firreigners are naturalized. One of them has
been in the country just eighteen months.—,
Glorious Democracy! We ask of every native
born citizen, is it not time we had an American
party? Methinks I can hear the shout of
thousands ascending to heaven, front the work
shop, the harvest-field, the store, the counting
house, the bank, the college, the minister's
closet, on lmard the merchantman and the
man-of-war, from the barracks, the law office.
and every place occupied by Americans—"lT
IS TIME I" May God help us no he (lid our
forefathers, when they struggled against British
tyranny. They hail both an open rind a secret
foe. They had the British army, Indian allies,
and the Tories. We have foreign influence.
Jesuitism, and Native Demagogues.—PaNic

Renewed Persecution of Protestants in
Tuscany,
The London Morning Advertiser announces
the renewal of the persecution of the Prates
tants in Tuscany. Several letters from Tusca
ny, dated in May and June last, have been
received in London, containing most interesting
and detailed accounts of persons, of both sexes
and all ages, who, for reading their Bibles, or
even for being suspected of it, or connected
with those who are suspected. have been thrown
into dungeons and await their trial. Many
others, it is said, are trucked and watched by
their enemies, with the hope of getting some
thing whereof to accuse them. And so slight
are the grounds on which the hated Bible-read
ers are incarcerated, that, after a temporary
confinement among felons, a number of persons
have been released, the government being una
ble to sustain any charge against them. One
case is mentioned in which a child, not even
suspected of being a Bible-reader, was impris
oned with his father, because the father was
suspected of this crime in the eyes of the Tus
can priests. . . . .
Tftese persecutions are declared to be the
work of "false priests." They are not popular
among the mass of the people. One letter,
quoted by the Advertiser, says: "The govern
ment witnesses can scarcely show their faces in
their native towns, being openly pursued by
contemptuous expressions; not by the friends
of the prisoners—who keep themselves quiet—
but by the political Liberals, or Partite Rosso.
who desire liberty of conscience no a part of
the general liberty they seek after."
They begin to understand, even in Tuscany,
that there can be no enlightened civil liberty
where there is no liberty of conscience, and
that there can be no liberty of conscience
where the Bible is not free; and they will ulti
mately learn that there can be no liberty to
read the Bible, no liberty of conscience, no civ
il liberty, where Romanism is dominant and
able to control the government and the people.
Waking up a Congregation
On last Sabbath morning, while the newly
installed pastor of the Jane st. (N. Y.) M. B.
Church, Rev. J. B. Wakely, was preaching a
very eloquent sermon on our "National Privil
eges," he observed some of the elder portion of
his congregation "napping," and addressed
them in the following manner:
"You may wake up when the grave of Amer
ican Liberty is dog, and her funeral oration has
been pronounced I You may wake up when
the genius of Columbia has taken her flight to
some other land I You may wake up when,
the sun of Freedom has gone down, and the
darkness covered our once bright and beauti
ful country ! Be careful, or you will wake up
when it is too late too late! TOO LATE! The
die is cast ; the nation dead; every star in the
galaxy of Liberty is extinguished—and the
stars and stripes, that we have looked at with
wonder, delight, and, oy, no longer wave, but
lie torn, and rent in pieces. Such is the fate
of this nation, unless the people wake up to
the protection of their rights. The child is list
ening to my voice to•day, who, unless there is
a waking up, will live to see America scrapped
in her winding sheet, and Tyrants hold a Jubi
lee over a Men Republic."

Cheap Paper.
Paper at present costs so much that the prig
weighs very heavily upon publishers. Thes
latter will, no doubt;hitil with peculiar plensur
the announcement that. a Mr. Samuel Nola'
late of the cite of Diffilin, Ireland, but now
resident of New York city, hns, with the aid c
his brother-in-law, Dr. Antisel, invented an
patented at Washington a papentnaking mt
chine and pulp, by means of which paper en
be made and furnished to the market at a en,
of about four cents per pound. Dr. A Miser
chemical knowledge brought the pulp to pet
fection, and if we may believe the statement w
find ill print, it will cost, in its raw state in
more than a sixth of a cent per pound. Th
editor of the Long Island Vindicator, withou
enlightening us.as to the name of the materis
from which the pulp is made, thus speaks of ii
"The material from which the pulp is inant
factored will flourish and grow abundantly i
ground that is at present useless to the farina
and here, ton, the community will lie the gait
era. We have seen and examined specimen
of the pulp, awl have no hesitation in ',rollout
ring it just the things wanted. It is as whit
and clear as the most clearly bleached cello,
and is capable of the most delicate tint. Th
harshness and transparency of the straw page
is not to be found in it, while it is capable c
the highest finish, maintaining all the pliant
and toughness of the pure linen rags."
The difficulty, then, ill the way of our prod'
ring, by means of this invention, a cheap multi
of paper at an early day, is, first, that the pier
front which the pulp is made will. have to It
cultivated by farmers; and .second, that capitt
must be linind to put the machine in operatic.:
So it will lie a 01,11.0011 or two beare we em
have any relief from the present exorbitant pr'
ces of paper in thin way. Still, it is a great iu
vention, not merely for printer, and publisher
but for the reading public, front whose pocket,
