Recently lie died, but left behind him an expla nation of the wholti transaction. A short time before Sumierliold's death he caimo into Parker's office, that be iTig his first appearance in Siacramten. to for a number of years, and told him that ho had fathomed the mighty secret of making water burn by icans of a preparation of' potassium which would separato tle particlles4 and ignite the liberated oxygen, thus creating and recreating its own force, and proceeding until all the particles were destroyed.

The sihoo manufacturers bare pro tested in great Iutmbers, again-,t the present tariff as pruecting them out of a most valuable foreign trado and tetidiog to ruin their business. We regard this protest as many times more imipor taut an item of news than tle Olo Departure. Tihe sooier the question of personal rights in its unm sy fr be1omies secondary, aind the rights of property becomo the main ir-ues ipon which political par ties d i ide, the sooner will justico and It fair sharo of influence ink the gov eriment be accorded to the Southern States. Wo do not believe that the oxporiment of negroo suffrage is as yet anything like a succel-srul one. But, we would prefer its removal from the sphere of national politics where it only does the South harm, and that it be 1-ft to the slow, quiet, operatiol of irresistible laws of nature, to put the eliormity down, or te completely nullify its influence for evil. We catru not if there were fifty amend mo ents on t0he suiject, negro suFrige is liit anl experimucnt, and will stand or fall, just as slavery, (which was ini tho eonltit lition, too, just as clearly as inegro .uaifge) upon its meiits, as the inutaie may disclose them. T'IIms a Farming Couuntry. Before the war, we recollect that some high authority expressed a pref oree for a good plantation inl A hhe villo over a Mississippi or lRed lliv.er bottom plant at ion, assorting that the' rMoverg }>r.fits for a series of yearls were greater. This year's expenrie recalls this testimony to mind. WVhile the crops elsewhere are sulfor stng from the seasonis ini various ways, in this whole Abbevillo belt of land, stretching across the State, they are doing about as well as usual, and with remunerative prices, our farmers should hav-o money in their pockets aewt winter. Consider another item--the price they can get for their provisions here. Upon some of the western farms, for by hushels uf corn are raised to the rerne, but selling at but 25 cents a bushel, the money yield to the aore, with more labor of course, being in proportioni to the bulk of th& crop, is but ten dollars. Why, 'eight bush'els be the acre boro brings ten dollars, anid the fodder and peas are extra. This country, again, is healthy. Without extravagance, we believe it o he the beilthiest in the world. Toe bte laboring man, indeed, to all pion, what an invaluablo blessing is the en joymoent of saitmnd health I Last ly. Mir. N. II.
