The Alebemisth, it is well kiown, had accumulated a vast number of unconnect e dcheibicalfaicts, but with feis exceptions, they .wasted their labors upon unattainable and chimerical 'bjects. Their attemfts to the conversidon of quicksilver into gold, and She'iearch'after the elixer of health or triiversal 'remedies and antidotes, were arduously'carried on during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Many amu sing accounts of the professors and adrpts of those periods, have been handed down by the-chemical historians of the time. Among the bistorians on chemistry. may be. mentioned tassil Valentine. who - flourished in the fourteenth century. His writigs' notwithstatiding they are tinc tured with 'he fooleries of alchemy, are fullof intelligent ohservatiuns. lie was the -discoveror ol' sulphuric and nitric acid, and several preparations of actitmo - ny. , Paracetlsas, a writer about this timue. isefly.celebrated for the holdness and assiduity with which he introduced chem icalipreparations into the practice of meid .Itytheworks of Helmnant, who was a sound writer of his day. we fitrst see the word pae made use of, and by the term' cfvid gas, .be 0o doubt alluded to wa since. was called fixed air. and more re cently carbonic acid gas ; but as an exper imentaL' and'.acute reasonter, however. --noete caieinto com apeitinu with Glau ber.

The theory of * ebeitical adfinity thus esiablished tupon the *foundation of experiment, hy Mlayow, S catustituted the basis upotn which mtost of .thefsupersiructure of modern chiemistry -restS.

Pnen nustic-hihemist'atbeen mouch extended' by-tbe isebguished'Priestley, of Phila ~ ~ephia ; it was tn 1774 thei Dr. Priestley ~ ade the great discovery of or?/gen gas, upon which so much of the subsequent : progress of chemical science has depend ed. He obtained this. gas by exposing a quantity of pexoxide of mercury to the action of the sun's rays, concentrated upon it by a powerful lens. " l present ly found," says he, *" that air was expell ed from this preparation of murcury. very readily." Nitrous and nitric acid, mturiatic acid, and ammonia, we'e also his discoveries. Priestley a short time after having dis covered oxygen, ascertained that plants had the power of decomposing carbonic acid gas, and yitiated air, exhaled front the hings of animals. and noxious gases, arising from decomposed vegetable mat ter-rendering these, exhalations perfect 13 Inure by appropriating the deleterious attots to their own organization, and: throwing 68' the pure portion, which again was fit for respiration. In 1776. Cavendish presented to the Royal Society of London, an essay ou inflamable air. He describes it as the lightest known substance, and that by combustion with oxygen, water was the only result ; hence the term hydrogen early applied to this gas. Cavendish al so discovered the composition of the atmosphere and demonstrated very clearly that the air is composed of oxygen and nitrogen, in a state of mere mechani. cal combination. lie was led to this con clusion from the circumstance that in pass ing currents of electricity through cott .mon air, he was enabled to generate ni trous and nitric acid. These beautiful experiments of Coven dish, laid the foundation for that most useful of all the branches of chemistry I mean analytic, and synthetic cl'mistry. Scheele about the same time discovered chlorine. This discovery of Seheel.-. in conjunction with the labors of his eminent contemporaries, contributed to invert chemis'ry with a degree of interest and importance, which gave it an entirely new and 'distinct aspect, and an elevated rank in natural science. About the year 1786. Laioisier, Four croy, and their. associates in Paris, tin dertook the celebrated reform in the no ineiclature of chemistry ;" which being improved uponby, . emnet- successors. hits resulted in far greater. erfe"tion avoister nferred:'-t at, oxygen wa4'the universal, and only aeidifying principle. and by a-series of well conceived research-. es. he demonstrated the identity of char coal and'the diamond. - The discovery of the chemical influ cnces of electricity, dates an important epoch. in the history of chemisrry, ani is one of the most fertile sources of its re cent progress. The first discoverer of the applicatiot. of electricity to the bodies of recently killed animals, was made by Galvani, an anatomist of Bologna. who lived about the year 1790. lIe observed that by placing two plates of different metals upon a portion of the flesh of a fing. that spasmodic or convulsive con tractions were produced. From this dis covery of Galvani, i: led philoshphers to the observance of the great analogy br iween Galvanistn or electricity, and inner cation Valta improved tilis form of electricity considerably; he invented the Pile of Volta. and about the year 1800 the chemical pocers of the Voltaic Pile was observ'd in regard to the decompo'sition of certain salb, in solution, and water, by Mr. Nicholson: these were, however. more correctly investigated shortly after wards. by the distinguished French chem ist. M. BHerznlius. But in the hands of Sir Htumphrey Davy. the Voltaic Pile led It more important and extraordinary re suits than to any of his co itemporaries. Anterior to she ttme of Davy, the alka lies and alkaline eg~rths yvere regarded by chemnists. as simle erc-etenentary boies. Hur Davy ins 1807. <ucceedled in de-comu posing these substances,by mneans of a pow erful galvanic aparatus, and showe-d thast the basis of these alkalies are metals, ss hich have a pow erful aflinisy for oxygen, and united wvith it in definite proportions. Davy rendered great service to chemistr3 by his numerous dliscoveries, and also by correctiog the f'alse opinion which prevail ed, that oxygen "was the only acidifying pri'tiple-he d'emons'trated she existence of acids thout oxygeti, -andl laid the fottn-I dation of the theory of the Ihydracids. Tlo these great researc-hes of Davy. he added that of te discovery of the sft lam p. sft Anatyctic chemistry was first scientii cally cultivated by M1. Bregmian, a Sw iss. about the year 1765. This matd it is said, died in consequence of int*nse applica tion to his favorise studv. lHe turned his atteotion to the attalysisotf the mtinerals, and several of the tmineral'waters. Thsis bratnch of chemistry was gi-eatly extended and ittproved by Klapreth: who spens at it his long and laborious life. Another great name 'connected with chemical an alysie, is Monsieur le Docteur' Valquehn,] wvhto originally was quite an'obisrure indt vidual. living~ in a remote cruntry village of Normandy. He afterwards was em poyed in the Laboratory of Fourcroy, where he acquired great' dexterity in the ordinary duties of his si'uation, and ulti-, miately became an expert arid originli analyst. H e arose to high' eminence as'a chemtist. and his importami contributions and discoveries are now rdlieving many diseases to which humtan flesh is heir to. The principal English analftiscal chem ists.'are 'Howard. Tenant, Wollaston, Chenevix, and Sir H.I Davy. The' litst, and 'most- inte'resting iranch f chsemistry. is organic c4mistry ; tsuis iepa~rment' ill of .quitoe recent. orgmn ; some progress however was made'in or ganic chemistry by Scheele. 'but it hat been c'tiefiy enriched by the labors0 modern philosophers, and in their hand it has assumed an entirely new aspect. The Hercules of oranic chemistry' it Jnstus Leibig, whose works on animal au agricultural chemistry. far excel any thing of the kind that has ever been written. Such is a brief expose of the history of chemistry, from- the arbest discoveries made in it, down to the present period. In a subject so complicated and evten sive as chemistry, systematic arrangemeni is of the utmost tmportance; and as out globe (and perhaps also the universe) i. composed of fifty-four elenientory: stib stances, and if we regard the three im' pon'derables. heat, light, and electricity, as matter, there are fifty.seven.

JOIIN C. CALHOUN. There. ate:a few men to whom when there is real danger in affairs, the eyes of the people instinctively. turn for guidance and help. In the midst of political strife such men may be: as much and even more abused than leaders of a difi'erent cbarac .ter.. .-There are other men who are eleva terd in times of peace and prosperity, lut when dark clotds arise they are instantly forgotten.. Mr. Calhoun belongs to the -first. He is reviled wit- n in office, but he is. no sooner our of office than the pen -ple of all parties begin to desire his return. 'Prue, most men at the North have thought him wrong,. sometin.es;. but no one ever doubted that as-a statesmen ie. belonged to the very highest ratik, and very few, if any, however much they tried to do so, have everibeen teally able to expel from their minds, tite' conviction that .he is an honest and sincere patriot, and as -mjch above most politicians in moral, as he is in intellectual greatness. When t he office of Secretary of State was made vacant by the sad accident on board the Princeton, and Mr. Calhoun's name was mentioned, the whole country called hint to that sta. tion. Now there is the same desire ;hat he should return to the Senaie. The position which he took in the Sonae on the Oregon question, was so profoundly wise, that the attention of patriots through the country was fastened to it. with strong aplfroval. Now that the - furious and reckless. portion of the people talk crazily of injustice and war that approval desires the return of this statesman to the place .where he may again enforce the same councils of wisdom.-N.
