An Essay Read before the Summer Meeting oj thc Stu tr. Grange at Anderson, S. C., on the dih oj August, 1877, by Richard dozer, Eng., of Columbia, Vice Presi dent of the State Agricultural Society. Within tho last 100 years Btcam bas boen used fur almost every purpose where u power hus buen inquired. No motivo power known to mau is equul to it. Engines of every fut m and si/,u have boon uiado und used. It bus aided mankind in spreading civiliza tion and Christianity tq the must rcuiuto part of thc known world, and without it thc commerce of tho wurld would bc brought lo a standstill Tho pluntation engine may be said to date fioin 1S4V>, when Mr. Wm. Libby, of Charleston, built the first piar tu - (iou engine thut wc have any rccurd of, and was need on a lice plantation, on the Com bnhce River. I'levious to tho war hctwecu thc States, this class of engine WUB unknowu 10 tho upper purt of this State, but tho change iu our labor system compelled our plant?is to adopt labor- saving macbinory, wherever it could be adopted. And I know of Un machinery til ot has responded more profitably to thc farmer th.m the steam engine. Nu investment will pay n better interest for thc amount invested. To gin cotton with horse power, it takes four good horses to run a fifty saw gin. and if they turn out four balea per day they uro doing pretty well. It costs ubuut *2 60 per day to feed this stock A good six horse engine is oapable of running two fifty saw gins, and 11 tbo gins uro in gund order ?.hoy should turn out from ten to twelve bules per day, at a cost not exceeding fifty ocuta for fuel, for au engine constructed on proper princi ples should nut consume over half a cord of wood to perform the above work. So you can .readily perceive that there is much advan tage iu using steam over animal power. Tho samo economy is obtained nt whatever work you apply thu s toa Ul engine to-threshing grain, grinding com and sugar ?ano nod sawing lumber; for oven HS small ns a six horst; engine can bo made to saw with a thirty-six inch saw mill, costing about $200, from twelvu tu fiftcon hundred feet of timber per day. And hore let mc say I believe thu plantation engine will do more to solve tho feuco question than all tho legislation thut can bo brought tu bear upon the subject. It is only tho scarcity of funno material that agitates thc question so much. Willi a good stock of fence lumber un hand the fri rt per can easily keep up his fences. Besides his fences, with a Hint8** saw mill and a stcaui engine, ho can always huvo a stock of lumber on hand for any improve ment hu may desire to make. There hus been many improvements in tho plantation engine since itu first intro duction, but utbers are yet in store for this little friend of tho farmer. Whenever it is requisite to move thc present engine (rom ono locality to another, a team lias to bo taken from thc field to move it. This is not economy; fur tho plantation engine having double tho power it takes to move its own weight, should bo mudo to propel itself and draw whatever machine ii. is to work. This is dono in oilier countries. The arguments that arises hero is our roads aro bad. Truo, our ronds aro bud indeed, but they cat. bo improved, and there ia ample room for our County Com missioners to show us what they know about road making. Oontlomon, givo us n good country road and wo will givo you n plantation engine that will move over tho country without taking tho team from tho field nt your busiest time, when your crops need working most. A few words on tho construction of n plantation engine, nod I olose: Tho first snd most important part is tbo boiler; this should bo built of the best iron. Tho loco motivo typo ?8 tllO boat steam generator that hos jot boon produoed. Tho flues should, for burning wood, not be loss than two indies nor largor thon three inches, and a sufficient number introduced, with tho sur faoo of tho firo box, to give from too to twolvo square feet to the horse power, and Of ft Buffloiont Btrongth to with?taud A pre? euro of 100 pounds to tho bquaro ?ooh' Tho engine should be composed of as few purts a possible for ils proper movement und tnado of the bost of metal, that it may bo mude as light os possible. One* very essen tial port is ti o pump. This should receive thc best intention, for muuy u life has been lost through an engine's pump fulling to work and the water iu tho boiler being allowed to fall below the proper height. Proper attention should ulso bc given to thc safety valve, so that, should thu engine have to stop working, or become deranged in any manner, any excess of steam may bo allowed to escape free, A mounted engine should bc mudo to follow in tho track of n common country wauon, for by so doing it will be easier on tho animals pulling it. In pur chasing no engine 1 would advise you to get the best, for it's always tho cheapest in the end, und avoid those cheap machines which aro a curse to tho purchaser and a disgrace to the builder. They uro mudo to sell, und often kill those who try to get work out ol them " Purchase your machinery us near homo as possible. In so doing you will not only confer a benefit on your own citizens, but you will udd to tho wealth of your Stute by keeping your money ut home, und by carrying out that principle so often tulkcd off-build up factories uf >our own.

The Dalli/ News has the following special, dated Simmie, Tuesday, August 28th: "Ycsscrdiy Suleiman Pasha made an assault on tho Russian position in Sobipka Puss ut 9 o'clock in tho morning Tho battle, which was sanguinary, lasted until 6 P.

A telegram to tho Times from Shumla also says: ' Suleiman Pasha hui* captured nearly all tho Russian positions, and thc Russians huvo lost 3,000 in killed und wounded " Thu Standard's despatch from Shumla says: "lt is reported that thc Russians huvo abandoned their works, und that Suleiman P.i.shu in pursuing them." This last version, however, seems tn bo exaggerated.

Statuvoleuce und Clairvoyance. BY WM. n FAHNEHTOOK, M. D. Although tho demotion of tho word Httituvolcnce and it? usc3 huvo'oftcn been given, thcro uro still 6omo who desire an explanation. Wo, therefore, ugniu state thc term Stutuvolcncc is derived from two Latin words, viz : status a state or condition, and volo, will, or a coudition from the will of thc subject and is u state in which eures aro most easily, pleasantly and permanently effected; for when in this condition, thu will of the subject has perfect control of tho nervous system, and by on act of their own will, feeling und even sensation eau be en tirely suspended for un indefinite period, consequently all discuses of a nervous, in flammatory or painful nature cnn bc arrested ut once, und if tho affected parts aro kept tn uti insensible state until the inflammatory condition of thu parts huvc subsided, tho eure will bo effected independent of thc will. Thc functions of tho senses nnd faculties acting independent of thc will, also some times euro diseases; this is effected by their reaching out and observing tho surround ings cf thc individual, even independent of his consciousness. This is often tho enso with children, although vory young, and as they uro ex ceedingly sensitive and many of them eleu1 minded ut birth, manipulation*) or unguarded conversations bc foro them, often ?ive them impressions or ideas which induce hope, faith, or a belief that something is being done for their relief. In this W117 cures huvc sometimes been effected which havo erroneously been ascribed to a magnetio in fluence, when thoy really nnd truly were the result of tho olear minded powers of tho child, which brought about thc necessary condition of tho mind or stutuvolcncc of tho body to effect them. Stat uvolanee, or thc somtinnihulic state is u natural condition, und ninny persons fall into it unconsciously, while, some aro almost ul ways partially or wholly in tho state, al though to a cusuul observer they appear to bc in u natural condition. This state can ulso bo induced by instruc tions, und when persons ure perfectly in tho condition, they are clear-minded in all their faculties and senses, and consequently can read tho mind of any one if so disposed; but if they aro not acquainted with the true nature of the stutc or their powers while in it, they may bc imposed upon, and uncon sciously induced to ape or act out all tho nonsense that the so-culled operator or others cnn invent for thom. These idiotic displays havo been dignified by tho euphonious appellation of "psycholo plea.) experiments," und aro as useless us they ore improper, and ridiculous as they are injurious. They cnn, however, only be effected in those who do not understand thc true naturo of their powers. If, therefore, subjects were taught tho truth, this trifling Villi useful capabilities, which were intended for better purposes, would bc prevented, and by a proper direction of tho sume, much good mit-ht bo efftoted, und moro human suffering prevented. It is well known that faith, fright, fear, joy, grief and extraordinary excitement, prayer, travel, amusements and pleasant as sociations, etc , huvc all in their turn ef fected curc?", aud they do so, simply, by abstracting tho mind from tho diseased cou dition of tho body. Tho statuvolic condition does this moro effectually in every respeot, and is, therefore, not only the most certain, but also tho most pleasant and permanent way of effecting cures-and ns a truo knowlcdgo of thc condition presents inestimable blessings to future generations os well ns to tho present, it should bo embraced as thc greatest boon that haa over been conferred upou sufforiog humanity. CLAIRVOYANCli. It is a matter of surprise, after so much has been written upon tho subject of clair voyance, that so tunny who profess to le clairvoyant or clear minded know so little in regard to its true nature or tho difference as generally understood and tho power of mind-reading Clairvoyance, or seeing without tho aid of tho external eye, nnd mind rending is tito same power, and tho only diflcronco between them i<?, thc thing or object looked at In the ono case tho attention of thc clairvoyant is directed (whether from desiro or other wise) to things existing in tho oxternal world-sud in tho other to things uot tan gible, viz-: to thoughts or ?dons, etc That clairvoyants cnn seo tho ono or tho othor, does not chango its naturo or thc capabilities of tho stutuvolist. All good clairvoyants profess the power of seeing tho ono or reading tho otiior, und it does not matter whether tho thing seen or tho ?doa looked at in tho mind bo real or imaginary-they can seo tho ono or read tho othor with equal facility, if tho mind bo properly directed to them. Hut bocnuso thoy can seo tilings or read ideas that aro imaginary,- does mit prove that they cannot ttuly seo things or ideas whioh uro real. 'I hose powers aro pimply powers tn tho individual, and aro independent of spirits or mon, especially, if the stutuvolist hus n truo knowledge of his powers. lt has nothing to do with "animal mag netism" or nny other nonentity, and depends outii01 y upon tho will of tho subject, to do tho ooo or tho othor, all imaginary ?dens to tho oontrory notwithstanding, Lancaster, Pa. . -?????

A long checkered and remarkable career hus closed in tho death of Brigham Young, thc recognized head of tho Mormon Church, and thc leader of that remarkable sect. Whether laboring under the inspiration of fanaticism, or whether coolly and persist - ently maintaining what ho know to bo a gigantic fraud, he baa succeeded in accom plishing wonderful feats. Ile was born in Whitingh.itn, Vermont, June 1st, 1801, and was, in his early lifo, a zealous Baptist, being something of a preacher. Ho joined tho Mormons in 1832, and soon roso to bo ono of tho twelve upostlcs, having been sent in 1835 to spread thc doctrine, then taught by Joseph Smith, among thc Eastern States. So successful was ho in this, and so popular did he become, that after tho trngio death of Smith, in 1844, ho became president, lt was under his leadership that in ls iii tho Mormons mudo their almost unprecedented pilgrimugo to Salt Lako. Hero You lg has so managed tho tomporal affairs of both thc government and himself as tn render both prosperous and flourishing. Ho was probably immroscly wealthy, ond by sheer force of will and influence intro duced the feature of polygamy into tho Mormon Church in 1852. By tho samo iron will, tireless vigilance and never failing astuteness, ho has successfully conduoted uffuira of his unusually constructed comm munity, modo converts, kept his pcoplo contented, and successfully resisted collis ions, with no interference from tho United States, In mony respects ho was a wonder ful man, but Heaven only knows what dark nnd oankcring secrets will bo buried in tho pulseless boort of thc mightiest of thc "Lat ter-doy Suints."
