" The North " is understood to comprise all that section of the Union north of the Roanoke the South," in like manner, aU south and south-west of that river. Frighiful Accident.-On Thursday eve ning about 5 o'clock, a most frightful-atid distressing accident occurted id Mobile at the foundary or 1. D. Spear & Co. As a number of the workmen werb preparing to run the moulds for a large casiu, an immense kettle, containing over 8000 lbs. of molten iron, by some means was upset, and part of its contents thrown out, se verely and dangerously scalding Joo. Ca sot Thomas Ste,-eson, John Christian, and an Irishman, together with four negro men. At a late hour on Thursday night they were considered out of danger, but it was feared that some of them would lose their limbs. The building was set on fire by the hot iron, but owing to. the en ergy and activity of the other workmen was saved; One of the negro men, belonging to Mr. John Mott, although very severely scalded. had the courage and fortitude to hold on to the kettle, and prevented more persons from being injured. Stessrs. Spear & Co. sustain a loss of some $800 or $1000. The Presiient Elect- An Incident. The new President on the 31st of January made a visit at the Hermitage and con versed with Gen. Jackson perhaps for the last time. Mr. Polk is said to be -in fine health and spirits, and Mrs. P. is said by the correspond'ent of the Journal of Com inerce to "look remarkably well." On board the steamer from Louisville to Cim cinnati, dinner was served up in fine stlye, and the writer already quoted says-" we noticed no wine on the table at the Presi dent's end, and indeed no spirits any where, except a bottle or two set out by thc proprietors of the boat, of which very little was drank by the party presett." At Jetlrsonville and 1ladison, Indiana, Mr. Polk went or. shore -and was warmly and eiuhtsiastically receivad. At Jeffersonville a plain country looking man came on board, who, from the soiled and coarse condition of his dress, seemted just to have left tje plough handles, or spade in the field. He pressed forward through the saloon of the boat, to a point where the President was standing in con versation with a circle of gentlemen, through which he thrust himself. makiig directly for the President, and offering hi, hand, which Col. Polk received with cor dial go.d will. Says the farmer. " How do you do, Colonel ? ' ' am glad to se you, I am a strong Demobrat, and did all I could for you. I am the father of 2G children, who were all for -Polk, Dala.i and Te.ras." Col Polk re-sponded with :a smile, saying. ", He was happy to tnakt his acquaintance, fe-eling assured thtit lie (the farmer) deserved well of his country. it for no other reason, than because he was the father ofso aimgo a Republican family." Healthof Charlesoa.-The AtnnuAl R port of the City Register for the yeatr IS844. presents a result .as to the health of thtA City of Charleston remarkably favorable. Trhe total numbaer of deaths in a popuht tion of :39,953 w as 553 of all diseeses: of this number 33 were between. 60 and 7tt; 'd1 het ween 70 and SO; 16 het ween 60 ao-l 100; 2 betweena 90 and 100; 3 between 100 and 110: and 1 hett weetn 110 and 120i.

A new Post Oflice has been established S miles below Greenuville C. 11.. on the Augusta road, called Highway, and A. W. Hlarrisappointedl Post Master. The Mail for that Ofll:e leaves Greenville every Sat urday at 12 o'clock.-libid. A g-reat Cotton Mil.--A mill htas been recently erected! in Cincitnnati, for the matn utfacture of cotton cloth,. styled the "Franik lin Factory." It is 154 feet long byV 52 feet wide, andI five stories high. Some idea of the business tat is to be carried on in :his establishment may be formed from the fact that 240 looms and 9.312 spindles will -be constantly kept-in operatiotn. It is exp~ectedl that forty thoiusatnd yards of sheeting will be made each week. At this rate, if regularly kept going, it -will turn out about two millions of yards of sheeting per annunm; and .io do this it will employ three hutndred persons. - The piro prietors of this extensive factory are Messrs. Harkntess, Strader & Fosdick. Entre3 Abstiince tiie Only .Safety. Temperance Societies, regarded as a unit, proposer to cure the hum'an family of one of the most fearful maladies that ever af llicted it-the malady. of Intemperance. Prevention, all will acknowledge far-bet ter than cure--The avoidance of all in toxicating drinks is a simple, easy, and ellicacions preventton; and the question of cutre ~s equally obvious. No man is or cani be cured. while he ciintinues habitual ah~mo driittk wine, cider, beer, or any thing el se that intoxica tes. The mischievous and fatal tendency oftrhese habits, is per haps mnost clearly exhibited in that form (of drunkenness, which, like a certain kind of. fever, assumes the intermittent type, but unlike the latter. is wvitnaout law as to theb precise period of its returns. Many of tus have perhaps wittnessed cases of ihis kind, where a longer or shorter inter anal of entire abstinence has been fdllowed by a paroxysm of deadly indulgence. Those who are unfortunate enough to be addicted to this habit, are from tern para ment, peculiarly liable to delirium tremnens atnd ao sudden. death in several frightful forms. it ma-y be, that in their sober in tervals they reason jostly, as it respects their situation and dantger. They know that for themi, there can be no temperate drinking. They perhaps resolve to ab ..,:..ctber. and in ithis way avoid a temptation which they feel consciou: they are too weak to resist. By degree however, they grow selfconfident,-and for tified iu their own strength, they steep, a it were, upon their posts." Meeting a length with boon companions, or yieldin, to the mapdates of an imperious custom they taste a little wine. From that ver: moment, the nicely adjusted balance o self control is deranged, the demon return in power, reason is cast out and the mat destroyed.-Multitudes have had ocensioi to tnourn the loss of friends, such ton, a seemed to be rescued by the temperanci reform from the. very grave, but alas, wer< enanared and overthrown at last, by i single glass of wine. Numerous have been the instances o druntkards Idetermining ro abondonithei cuips,[& for months-abstnining from liquor But they were [frequently intoxicated qt lighter drinks-the disease and appetit were nourished, atd they nt leta,;h return ed to their former potations, and that it an aggravated excess. Now we wouk rcspectrolly ask, is it not probable, that il every professor of religion, and every tem pet ate man nod woman. had given to such the example of abstainitte from any kind of drink whirhIi can produce intoxication, they would have been much more likely to have become sober met ! A man who has this craving. morbid appetite, has hard work to goveri it, when oti of the n ay c1 temptation-btit place the tetmpting bev. erage before him, and set him the eKam ple of drinking it, and he must be an Un common man if he can resist--Temrier. ance Adcocate. New Cotton Market.-We observed a few days since at the wharves, a shipment of several hundred hales of Cotton on the steamer Factor,for a no, el destination, viz: a new matufacturing establishment about to go into operation 1t the head of the Tallapoosa river-=the first time, we opine. that cotton was -ever shipped up strean from this port. The Factory allided to. established as an experiment by Messrs Marks and liar nelt, two enferprizing planters of this conn try, is at the beatitifu: falls of Tallapoosa, about two miles above the bridge, and ih designed to run about 1100 spindles, and n proportional e ottnber ofloons, and will work up five hundred bales. The tmachi niery, we understand, is very complete, and tme buildings permanent structures, slib stantially and neatly built or tock of at' exceller quality from quarries at the site. From estimates which we have heard made tlhi is likely to be a very prohtatle invest inert withl good management, and barrina accidents-perhaps not less than 25 pet cent. Similar enterprizes in the South when. fairly tested, have we believe, beet found in all or most instances very profiit able, atnd we trust the proprietors of thi: may find it so, and their establishment h( nucleous around which may concentrate ; capital and enterprize whicn will niaki this portion of the State iudependent o the world in articles of this bratich of ti an ifacture. Tbe site is a healthy one, ant there is water powter etoughi to at Talla hassee to employ profitily the capital a ',:lf a doz:i Lowells. We trust thep jeciorg of 'hi~r andttiinir tprize: may meet with the success comtnensu ra:e with their deserts. It is the frtll way to cure the evils ainl complaints o the hard times. The minieral resonree and manufacturing capabilities ofAlabatta are well known and require but a littleen ergy and~ enterprize to develope theim. - A portion of the immetnse capital now al most wasted int the over production of col. ton investel in stocks and devoted to the tnanujfacture of'bagging, domestics, itont, would, it is very evidetnt, save vast suame to the State, add to the general wveahmh an(i yield rich arnd remutietating profits t) th holers. This every one cani see; and it thte language oif Sam Slick "cipher" out for himslf.-Ala Jour. The Picapytue says.-JohnmathIan WVal ker, the abolition vagabond, in Jail rat Pen. sacola for assisting ini the 'escape of tne. groes last summner, made an attempt ot Wednesday last to leave his cotnfitemen: and so far succeeded as to get the Jail don; open;- but lie wvas discovered, atnd s< bariatn " had furtnished hima with a pick axe GREATEST DxscovERY OF THE AGE. The Electro Magnetic Lightt.-Messrs 'J. Maron Saunders and Ju1 Srtrr have a (list succededi with their light. atnd a brit liant affair it is. The- apparatus witi which their light is inad~e is sttman , to allou of easy transportattiona; hut it utay be in creased to an inidefinite extent, and witl its enllargffement is lthe itcrease of the sizt of the light. Though hut t he size of pea, it' is sufficient to illuminate quite large room, and forbids the steady glainet of the eye. The blaze of a catndle tozett feel 'distant from the apparatus, and three feet frotm the wall, casts utpon the wall thick shadow-so mtneh more brilliant is the light, though nOt one twentieth th. size of the candle flame. WVhat wsiil he the power of this light wvhet! increased ta the size of a gas light ? We can not con ceive. A t a dis an~ee the light lool-s unlike othei illumninautions, throwintg out mtost beaudi Cut ray's, which, finelyboreset magifcenlyfrom the'bright centre. Thb inventors say they can muake the light~o different colors. atnd even alternaativel, change fi-om one color to another. Thb apparatus fur producitng this illttminatiot displays great ingenuity, and .a thorougl knowledge of that.portion of science wvhied relates to the principles they have so sue cessftully applied. rThe apparatus will not cost a very gren atmount. It may be kept in one part of th< city. and the light produded by conmnectit wires in any other. Or it may he stowe< away in thte cellar or garret, as it is not er fected by dampness, and wires be carrier to different ruooms, to the street, or to th neighboring streets. What it cannot do ii the wny of illuminations retmains yet ti be discovered, what it can do, we ma: partially conceive. The inventors started from Cincinnat on theo 31st tilt, accompanied by Capt. E A. King. of Dayton, for England am France, wvith the intention of procurinj patents in those countries. We are assure< by thtse who are interested in knowing that there is not the least doubt of their en thus-the new world (and Cincinnati) nas the honor of a discovery. for which the scientific men of old have been working for a contury and a half. 'The brilliancy and cheapness of the light places it beyond the thought of conm petion; added to which. its most undoubted r safety every where and under all circum f stances,'it will in'jhe course of a few Smonths render gas "an obsolete idea." Cincinnati papers. - Continuation of Milk in Cows.-Ex tract of a letter fromn Mr. Galvin Butler, Plvmouth C4. to the editor: "Onl the subject of keeping cows in milk from year to year. I have had some experience. It r is not true that cows kept constantly in milk will after a lapse ofyears fail to their rijilk. This d1epends upon the naiure and disposition of the cow formilk or fattening - I kept one in milk for five years (on stantly. and she increased in her milk ev cry year, and it was almost impossible to iry her when I turned her to beef, I am now milking one for the third year, which neithe. gains nor fails in her milk, and I presume would nt, should she he milked ten years. I ai milkinit another for the first year, which I presume will continue to gain, from year to year. lly cows.have been kept from the bull-not spayed." Spaying Cocs. 8-c.-Ii a late letter to the editor W. S. Gibbes, Esq., of Ches ter District, S. C., says:-"It your No vember noumber, page 357, notice is taken' of spaving cattle. Mr. James Knox. anl active young farmer, and neighb'r of mine has been in the successful practice ofepny ing milch cows and'heifers for sonelyoars, the cows do not seem to sulker muc'i, ncv er lose their milk. and one he spayed three years ago is giving yet her usual quanti ty of milk lie has never lost one.
