The seeming disfavor with which our

| Similar resolutions have likewise b
| adopted by a Ileal company in York,
' we doubt not but that if the proposit
" j was generally submitted, two thirds of
1 Heat companies in the State Would ind<
I the move made by the Puirlicld and Y
II companies. Under the continued and
j creasing pressure of public opinion,
Legislature, it would seem, will evciitn:
! be forced to act and institute the rcforn
' ' loudly called for and demanded by the s
' ! ereign authorities
We have always considered the mil
I system in this State one of the veriest In
bugs of tbo day ; and when the people i
i as they are now beginning to do, that it
humbug they will then regard it m the ii
of nn oppression, and w hen so felt, a I
people will not he slow in making kn?i
, their \oicc and determination to those w
I make laws for them. As long r.s they
quieted with tiro idea that tiny are do
the State service and performing ail net
p ; duty, which every good citizen owes to
I country in consideration of the protect
! which the laws of that country afford h
j they will cheerfully perform it, howo
j onerous or hurthenvotne it may be to tlr
. | Hut when they are convinced that the Si
, ' or country de'ives no benefit and in no |
bahle contingency could derive any ben
r I from duties tli.it uro a tax both upon l!
I i inclination* ?nd their time, the obligut
I falls to the ground and tltey \viIi speak
j for reform.
I Men are called out from year to year,
( mustered in the Heat companies and at
j reviews and xhen at length they are
L" i empt from aye. they are no more com
L' I tent to perform military service, practiosi
than the raw iccroit who had never mas
u j ed a day in his life. In fuel is less so
i cording to the opinions of some, for in
j ing drilled for regular service, lie must
| learn that which his meagre training ha
' j course taught him imperfeetly. Thcr
j comparatively vary few members of a I
j company who ever manifest any sort of
sire to learn an \ thing about military mat
e for the reason that they can sec no well
r* | lined object before tlietu. They are
'' | that it is all important to keep up the
^ j ...? - 1 ? - ' " . ?
j so'i of vague notion that it is import
| but reduce the question down to a prj
L" cal issue and they are not able to dinting
s what this importance consists in. The g
? | secret is, that it was the custom of our f
'* j fathers, was iiiiiiitltfrvil indispensable
!* i tlmsc day* when war nnd military rem
' was the great focus around which reiil<
0 j the world'- ambition and though this f
Ir>j4 has iiceli revolutionized and seie
J literature and statesmanship now eiig
I the aspirations of men, yet from In
j which clings to us after the spirit a*?d
j ti\e is gone, the system of an older ng?
' continued, i'tibiic opinion, however, ut
j the induenco of the progress of the ng
beginning to bo aroused and we doubt
i but that in a few years the system wil
' abolished or else a material modification
it be effected.
* * We believo that some sort of an org
" ; ration should be preserved in order that
l* ' available strength of the country coiil
r* . any time be ascertained, and the patrol
j ti hi, which is connected with the otlu
I is cf importance to keep up. It might
! lie amiss too, to encourage the organiza
|V of volunteer coiupaniea; usually are i
, nccttd with these, young men who I

Correspondence of the I-hicmUr Ledger.
Wasicnuton City, Sept. 28, 1858. \
Mr. Editor: I send >ou herewith, home j j
specimens of a newly invented printing pa- ; j
per. It is ninde of the residuum of the
licet combined w ith cotton. A large quan- ,
tity of sugar is annually made in Germany
and France out of the licet. 'I'die residuum
is fibrous and pulpy, and the ingenious
ones in Europe have been trying for years 1
to transmute it into paper. Hut ns usual ^
an An.erican has achieved the desideratum, t
Dr. Collyer, of New Jersey lias spent the (
past three or four years in Europe intent \
upon this enterprise and has, finally, succeeded
after about eight bundled ex peri*
men Is. His discovery has beeu .patented
in foreign countries as well as in the Uni- 1
led States. The samples 1 send you were (
made in England, but arrangements will >
' soon be completed for its manufacture iu f
| this country. r
The new paper is already extensively t
used in England. The London Times is
piinfed on it, and announces a consequent
I saving of JtldO.OUO a year in its press expenses.
No glycerine is used on tlie paper
1 for it is "selfeizing," and it will take a per'
feet and tenacious imprctodon of the types
without being previously dampened or wet. \
It is not my design to describe this new J
' fabric minutely. I have marked on the dif- ,
i fcrent samples the proportion of beet and
J cotton therein. and enclose a particular description
of the paper drawn up by the sole
j Agent for the disposal of it in the United <
: States. I can assure you that it is entirely t
J reliable, i>s I have been for many years nc- c
i quaintcd with Gen. Winchester. He is a ^
practical printer and tins in his time pub- ^
j I is bed several papers iu New York and (
| San Francisco. He knows what paper
I ought to be, and has such entire confidence
I in this patent of Dr. Collyer's. that he has
I devoted hi- time and industry exclusively
i to its introduction into this country. I *
j send you also a copy of a N. Y. paper, '
which win printed "dry." The press of '
this city have all been furnished with sani- '
pies and unanimously approve the new fabric.
The wrapping paper is very tine for
olTiec uses, being very tough, light and
j takes the ink without spreading.
You will see no doubt, at once the ben- |
! efit to the South involved in the new manI
| ufueturc, as cotton forms uu indispensable
j portion of its basis. If iny memory does
not mislead me, I think that 200,000 tons of I
paper are annually required by the news- j '
papers of this country. li?gs have failed .
to supply the demands of the paper mills, <
and even the mummies of Kgypt have been
compelled to contribute their em aiming
stripe's to the Wants of modern literature ?

I'huraub and his people can rent undisturbed

The Period or Lite subject to Imam- 1
tv.?The London Lancet soys that to do- 1
. lerminu the period of life which furnishes 1
1 the greatest number of insane persons, it u '
sufficient to bring together the records,1
j made up in.tier dilhrtnt circuuistam cs ?? ,
One of those, made at the Uicetreo, France,
wlo-re t?oor men only are received ; another !
at tlie Snlpetrioro, a hospital for poor wo. j i
' men ; the third, an establishment devoted to
the wealthy, have been examined,and it np- I |
1 pears that the age which furnishes tlie great- j '
> est number of insane is, for men, that from
1 thirty to forty years, while for women it is
that from fifty to sixty years. The ages 1 i
which furnish the least, for both sexes, are I
childhood, youth, nr.d advanced age ? i <
1 Among women insanity generally appears '
earlier than among men, indeed, from twen -1
tv to thirty years of age. The rich are |
more subject to insanity,in proportion, than ' |
1 the poor ,
Mk;.anchoi.v Affair.? We understand
tljut oil Thursday night last two
gentlemen, bio:hers, the one from Beau , (
I tort and the ojJ^er from an adjoining Dia-{ (

' long standing, (lie afflicted eye of both ^
witu eaten out. They had had the beat
medical advice within their reach, but f
' without benefit. In their extremity tliey ^
had heard of l)r Hale's fame a< a can i '
cer doctor, and as a last hope had sought 1
his service On Saturday, the next day
after their arrival, one of the brother* feli j
dead on '.he floor, and on tho Monday ' "
following tho othor died suddenly. We
arc gratified to learn these itnfortunates .
received tho kindest attention in their

fourteen years old, came to hie death yea* '

leading at the same time, a colt,# lied ^

Information Wantkh.?Some fortv I

roin Virginia with Ins family, and settled I
a South Carolina. After residing there
lonie years, he left his then residence, and
ocated in Georgia ; from thence returned
nto Virginia, leaving sons and daughters
here. Subsequently, Silas, his son, roomed
from Virgin a, and located in the
ricinity >\ his brothers and sisters. Some
hirty years have gone b .since the fatli r

rrolhers or sisters.
An aged sister now survives, and deires
