COIUHBIA, S. C. $ Ja mSl#|?; ~ JOHN SMITH'S DREAM; ** THE TEAR 2040. <1 dreamed, boys,' said Smith, 'that I was in the great Patent-office at Washington. I looked, and its ceiling waaraiscd to an enormous height, .while through open doors and . passages,. Isaw room after room groaning with thopsand&Qf models, until it appeared astbongh I-was iu a wilderness of machinery. Very soon a pert little gentlemen, with a quick black eye, *nd a 'pussy' body arranged in the queerest costume l ever sawr came bustling-, up to me, and asked me for my ticket. I involuntary thnrst my hand into the depth of ray breeches pocket, and .- palling oat a card delivered it to him. - After Innkino- at the card, and then at nie, and then at the card again, he burst out into a loud guffaw, that made the old patent-office ring.' -Why, air,' said he, 'this is ncf ticket. It is the business card of John Smith, advertising a patent dog-chum, of whiob he here ' says he is the real inventor, and it bears 'date in the year 1840?two hundred .years ago! The churn may be found in the room marked, 'Inventions of the Year 1840/ but the man John "Smith we haven't got. I " don't, think he is around above ground, just at thjs time/ said the little man chuckling. 'But, said I, who are you, if I am not John Smith? Were you not appointed by Polk Secretary of the Interior, and did T not pint a word in his ear favorable to you,'1 "'Polk! a Secretary of the Interior!' exclaimed he; <1 appointed by Polk ! v Why, my dear sir, I was- appointed only two years ago?not two hundred?-Chief of the Great Central.. Department, 'as the office is now caHed.' 'While we were talking, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson and Fulton walked in and took seats. The rather unexpected arrival of these gentlemen broke up the comments of my bustling interrogator, and one.of those pauses occurred which frequently daoQ .tbe appearance of strangers. Uncle Ben asked Jefferson if he would not like to move up to the fire and warm his feet. 'Fire/said I,.'fire ? Why, Uncle Ben there is no fire-place now a days. Stoves and hot air furnaces are all the go. This building is warmed by a great furnace and two miles of pipe that conduct the hent to every room in it,' 'Not by a long way .''said ray bustling friend-r?'not by a long way, Mr. John Smith. ' This trumpery is all piled away among the inventions of tho years that were. Those things belong to the age of your dog-churn. Why. gentlemen, have -you never heard of the Great Southern Hot Air Company, chartered in the year 196Q, whose business it is to furnish warm air from the south to persons at the north ; priee to families $3 a year;.all done by the gigantic underground tunnel, ,and its branches, worked at the other end >y an air pump! Have you novei heard of this gentlemen ? Here we get the natural heat of the south, warmed by the sun ! none-of your stinking coal -and wood gases to corrupt and destroy it. And then the principle of reciprocity is kept up; for we send back our cold air in the-same way ; and so we keep an equilibrium", foi the south are just as strenuous as ever tc keep up the equilibrium of the Union.? Why gentlemen those stoves required com stanfc care. As often as once a week it was necessary to replenish them with wood 01 coal. Wo, no! those improvements belong ed to the dark ages.' 'Bless me!' exelaimed Uncle Ben. K > V. ^ - *' n' r Impossible !\said Fulton. 'And so you don't use the old 'Frartklin' stove any more?' said Uncle. Ben. . 'Perhaps,' he continued, a qniet'smile playing .over his face,.as if- he intended-a comical shot, 'perhaps yon don't use- lightning nowa-days either, and -my lightning ;.roda of course belong to the. dark- ages . ''We have the --lightning,Iaiyiu8e.it. too, but only one rod, built by the- State, near . its centre, which' is so colossal and powerfnl I 1fc4t.it protects every thing around it;.:: 'Andthen the little fellow rattje.d on .about the use'of lightning;. how it wrote all over the world the English language, until TTnnla -Bad .

'Send you there in five minutes by the watch i' answered the little- map; 'or if that's toe soon, in twenty-four -hours.

The magnetic railway train will'take" you. through in four hours, or the old fashioned^railroad in twenty-four. ; *"What ?' said uncle Ben, 'is the oH-stage company, entirely broken upj?' 'Don't "know what you mean by stages,' eaid the little man, 'but I will look for the njord iD the big/dictionary.'' ?<Jq by steam boat/ said jvuiton. 'Steamboat.!- ^repeated the little man? 'steam h oat too everlasting^slow-^not.Qver twenty-five miles an hour?well enough for freight, but passengers cannot endure them, they go laboring and splashing along at a - snail's paoe and they are enough to wear but any man's patience. Yet the steamboat was the greatest stride ever made-r at any one time im..: the way of locomotion, and was very creditable to Fulton ind the age in which he lived.' 'That is'admitting something/ burst out Fulton,-wbo had sat like a statue, .watching the little matt's volubility.! " 'Bttt/ said Uncle Beu, 'all tbis talk dotft get me on my way to Boston. That is -"tay; birth place. * I was there -for the last time. in 1763,-and yoh know that according to the provisions of my will there is wore-than four million "pounds sterling of iny money which has by tbis time been disposed of by the State somehow.' 'Well, I declare !' ejaculated the "little: man, 'this is a meeting !- About that legacy, Uncle Betf} of yours; two inillmhs'sterliffg: has gone to build the Gutta Percha" Magnetic Telegraph line, connecting Boston with London and Paris,.two of the gre&test cities'in the Eastern.

No wore thrones; no more rulers by .-divine right; no more governmentasustaiDed, by.powder and ball; nor lords nor Dobtes; man is num, not merely one of men, but individually .man, with rights as perfect as powers as great as any other man. The prineiples, Jefferson, of I your Declaration, which you did not create, but only asserted, have, prostrated every ar. bitrary government on the Globe. 'The little man chatted away, aod declared that Europe was divided into two republics, the Eastern and Western ; that Constantinople was the capital of the Western ; and that Africa and Asia were also republican, until the three signers of the Declaration, perfectly wrought up to a frenzy of joy, rose up from their seats, took off their huts, and swinging them found gave 'three cheers for '76, and the old Army of the Revolution !' and I verily believe Uncle Ben forgot all about that money, and about going to Boston, for he did not allude to it any more in my presence.'1 ' ' ' 'Great changes these !'. continued the little man, 'from your days.

Away, round on every,side, stretched a mighty city, whose limits the . eye could not reaoU. Towers, temples, spires, and masts, until they were lost, in the distant haze. Canals traversed every street, and boats of merchandize were loading and unloadibg their freights. Stearn-carriages were, puffing along the roads that ran by the canal, some filled with pleasure parties, and some laden with goods.? Turning my eyes to an elevation, I saw fiftysix gigantic monuments, whose peaks were ' "uearly lost in the spray, ranged in a line, all alike in form and sculpture. 'These/ said the little man, 'were erected to the signers i of the Declaration of Independence/ and . taking out his telescope, he handed it to Oncle Den, who read aloud amoDg the inscrip> tions the names, Franklin, Jefferson, and Adams ! 'But let us know .what thisoity is i called ?' inquired Jefferson.

But I cannot weafry you with what l fcheresaw.-? The fruits of every yearsTnce the organization'-of the department, were divided into rooras and indicated on the door by an inscription. 'There were thousands of improvements in every branch;of science, many of which were so simple that I thought myself a fool that I did not discover them long ago. Principles were applied, the very operations of which I nofr recolTected to have often seen, yet without a'thought of their practical utility I came to the conclusion that accident was the parent of more that I.saw than design;. <for how;' reasoned.I, .'is it possible that these pieces.of machinery, could otherwise have escaped- - the great men who had lived and died in ignorance. ;oj them?'

Since tw tline, dow many years ago, when "benevolent but dariDg theorizers .boldly as- . sertcd and maintained, that if intellectnal .cultivation were good Jor one half the ape cies, it was so also for the otherj'that the fmind of woman was as. sasceptiblp of im-r < provement as that of the man7 and that the harmonious development of the-.human race1 required that both, should. be carried on simultaneously and proportionately, the gteat cause of femafe education has been urged forward with an impetuosity, as feverish as it is irrational . In their haste to prove the -tiuth of -their theory, they have fallen into the gravest possible error. There has sprung up a system of superficial teaching mid Jetfjrn-l iDg, of all systems the worst that couldloe devised. : Not Only have girls been made to study, all that boys attempt, but their, power? are taxed in a much higher degree. * To accomplish all that is marked out fpr them, they must be pressed on, for though their brothi ers can study until -they are twenty-one or i two, they must finish by eighteen. They have the same work to do, and three years less to oo it m; so mat they are put to studying algebra while boys areworking patiently over'their arithmetic; they carry a dozen books to and from school, while two or three are thought enough for their brothers. And in excuse, for this we hear'pleaded the quickness and early development of the female mind. There is some little reason in this, but only a little. The seed sown in a thin soil springs up quickly , we all know, but is its fruit worth the reaping. - 'Light come, light go,' is not truer of silver and gold than of our other possessions. It is this very prone* ness to hold the ideas and facts they acquire upon the surfac? of their minds, reflecting them brightly for a moment, arid then letting them pass away forever; that those who have the training of girls should guard against. . To require, ak some teachers do, a young gifl to pursue at the same time a great variety of 8tudies^abd to expect that her mind wiil.be enlarged and improvedby knowledge thus poured intoit, is as wise as it-would be to turn a river into a garden to water it. It is not the food we eat, bnt that-which we digest, that nourishes us. The advocates of this system of teaching girls ariittle of everything,'and consequently rvnfhinnp fVinmnohlw?fnr arthrinl.lifa iQ.whfc \7> u^"-6-vv"-b-j -? - ? long enough for the comprehensive and the thorough to go on together?say that it expands the mind, and gives to it liveliness andbrilliancy.j and so they give a little of the classics, a? .little mathematics, an imperfect outline of all the ologi6s and isms, a dash of French, German, Italian, music; drawing, and the other accomplishments', and then call their pupils educated, when in sill.probability they wonld be unable to analyze a sentence of their own language, and are but imperfectly acquainted with the geography aodhistory of their native country,'an$, after the lapse of a few months, might mit be able to tell the meanine of the names even of those sciences in which their diplomas declare them proficients. Youngladits let their eyes rest listlt3sly on the'pagesof Newton's Principia, and call studying, who would be uuable to olve, unassisted, a sum in simple interest. - There is a great falsehood underlying this whole system. Girls are allowed to think themselves learned,-when iiffactrtliey lenow nothing; for this vague idea of a subject is not knowledge;' anid-SD grow up and go out into the world, holding the shadow for the substance, until.the hard teachings of life, which, fortunately for our sex make no distinctions, but set for. women a task as hard as for men, and require it to bo aB perfeotly finished agajnst the great examination, make them realize that the brain as well as the hand, has Teal work to do. If women were taught this more in thbir youth, and made to - know that the field of scientific or historic truth is not a placie for pleasure excursions, but for daily toil?where patient labor, and that only would bring them in a. harvest, we should see around us a different race from the thoughtless and fantastie triflers of the present day. The truth would make us free indeed?free from this blind subservienoy to the dictates of fashion able folly and despotists. Tram girls to think, and give them soon J principles for their guide, aod there is little fear but that they will make valuable women. But cradle their minds in'the lap of ease, and require<>? them nothing but to be patient recipients of food prepared hy the labor of others, and there will be bb cause for wonder, if, from tbechrysalis of girlhood, Jtbey emerge butterflies'in the world of fashion and frivolity. . Bot the mind to act to any purpose, it is necessary that it should not be overloaded nor cbnfased in its operations. Bat few sVudietf shpald be^giveo, and in these great accuracy and precision should?be required. The girl who. leaves school, 'mistress of her own language, and of the history, geography and literature connected with' it^it knowing little felse, is .far better educated than ninetenths of the ordinary clam of school girls, who can enumerate a dpeen sciences and half a. dozen languages as among their acquiremebts-T-if that can he called acquired ?of whrch their minds hut for a brief moment have held possession. . The former 'has something, small though it -may he, in the vast.field.of knowledge, she can call her own; the latter stands a thriftless sluggard in other people's grounds; she possesses . nothing, and. most, hopeless case, blinded bv vanity and flatterv. thinks her elf rich.f?iVeto York feachpr. . . vilsP-v- /;' f. * . ? THE WESTERN HOG CROP. , The following' article frbm the ^ocior; uati Price' Cuffent, $ recent date, contains many statements of great interest at the present. .*: .. Consequent, upon.the financial crisis arising out of the failure of the Trust Company, the feeling in the market for hogs as regards contraots for futuire delivery, has been quite subdued the last two or three weeks; and" though there were "plenty of buy era. at |7 forNovember deKvery up to within the last'ten days of August, and but fevf sellers, there are now more sellers than buyers at this rate. The question whether th^next hog croj) will be a 'long' or 'short' one, Js beiqg generally discussed,' and opinions are gi ven on both sides freely and suppOTted'by plausible logic, to saylhe least of it, . Letters from various sections are being placed before the public,Statingthat the hogs are dyqngby thonsaodr in aUdirections,: and that in many-places thereare not enough left to propagatelhe spfcies; in other places we hear the atfimals are unusually abundant1 and well taken care of. In some places it is. stated wi$b the greater-pertinacity that all except pigs?the merestpigs, were slaugh7 tered last winter and spring, pork/being so high, and tben again we are told thai those, not slaughtered in winter were dnfing thfe last summer. * Here and there we find communications in the papers from correspondents of metaatile' agencies stating that tjiereare very few hh?s in the country. &tfti when it is recollected that, these correspondents are country who1"spend their time *roostihg about coiinty court houses,' watching for . clients,' it will be seen .'that their opinion regarding the hog or other crops is exceedingly worthless.- Dealprsaud all interested in- the provision market;will, always fiod itfsafe toassahie there are,! every, year, hogs enough in the coudtry ; there may be less at one. time than another, but there is always enough to fatten so as ta make hog crops, in case the inducements and the means exist to do this. In our paper we publish the aS&essors returns of^the npjnber^ of hogs in'Kentucky, complete. We also publish the returns from thirty one counties' in Ohip. The former', shows an increage-of hcenty-nine per cent;, as compared with last year, and the latter of eighteen per cent. Th& returns in Kentucky are of hogs six months old on the 10th of January each year,, and in Ohio of hogs over six months months old on the 1st of April each year. In Kentucky we find over d|he million hogs over six months old on the 10th of January 1857, and ic( Ohio, if the increase ifi the ^counties not yet heard from is the same as it is in those reported, there "were 2,184,326 hogs over six months old on. the 1st of last April. Indiana and Illinois had no doubt three millions of this age on the 1st of April, so that it will be seen the supply of the animals is ample.? But then it is said, and it is true that hogs are being swept away by the 'hog cholera' at a frightful rate. This, however, is confined to a few localities, chiefly in the vicinity of distilleries,rand we feel safe in saying that the whole' nnmber carried off in this way f3r the year ending December31,1857, will not exceed 'one hundred thousand} or, even if it. should reach one hundred and fifty thousand, it could not diminish seriously the number brought to market. This will be obvious to any person upon the reflection that iujCentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois there were over six million hogs six months old and upwards on the 1st of last April. We think we may assume now, without fear of contradiction, that the supr ply of hogs Is ample. The next question is, will there be a large or small -number of them brought to market. In order.to arrive at a correct conclusion with teference to, this, it is .necessary for ns to examine into the sprifcg of haman actions and see what Htev* .*?.? *. ^ * men will do. or not do as a general thing.under certain circumstances.. ' JVis safe and reasonable to,,'suppose 'that the farmer will tarn his attention to the cultivation of that which, frorft the evidence beforohim, or. the inducements- held out, promises the greatest yield. The moreoverwhelming are the evidences in -favor"df the profits likely to accure, the more assiduity will be exercised in the production of the article. Now let us see whgt are the in. ducement to 'cultivate' hogs, and what, is the supply of tho means with which they can be prepared for market.. Since the 1st ' of last January, hogs have ruled, higher than for a long series of years, and the demand for them has been active, consequently the inducement to breed them have been stronger than they-have been for years, and the result of this i* shown,by the ,assessor's return we publish, : The~ spring: and surati'm I iL .A V. 1 ? , A "L, ,, ? ~ M M h J . luuiy iuuu^u ituoimvu pruv?u- uuupuauj favored for "nil kinds ..of vegetation; everything-aoitfcWe for food .for man and.-, beast grew in- the greatesr profusion throughout .tjte length and" breadth of the land; the wheat, barley, rye,.oats and hay cropsnow gathered are the most abundant that can he. well imagined, and. the-corn, and potato crops now nearly matured, exceed, both as regards quantity and quality, any ever , ^gathered in the country. During the whole ;?ummer and up to the present time strone radncera'ents have existed to take the,beat .care of hogs; and- none can suppose for a moment that the best care has not been taken of them and more especially,'when such ample' means exist with wbi8b tp *<fo "this. So. then-here we-find the strongest , inducements to breed and tokeoare^)f hogs,' s the last nine'months that has ever existed before, and along with this greatest abundance-of food with which to fatten them.? the result, then, must be a large increase in] ; the "number brought to market add a dbpg ; rl?og crop.'

You may have he.ard '^f" it. It may have been in.print; -i aitf Bure; it deserves to be. 'Once upon a time/ then, on a certain Saturday night, the folks at the Bank could not make thdhalajioe come right by just ?100. . This'is.a serious matter in that little establishment. I do not mean the cash, but1 the mistake in arithmetic; ~ for it occasions a world of scrutiny. An. error in balancing has been known, I am told, to keep a delegation of oletks Yrom' each office at work.sometimes through the whole night.? A hqe and cry wasof course made after this ?100, as if tbc old lady in Tbreadneedle street -would be in the Gazette for want of it.iLuckily on the Sunday morning, a clerk (in the middle of a sermon, I dare say, if the; truth wore known), fejt a suspicion of the troth dart through his mind quicker than any flash of the telegraph itself. He told the chief cashier on Monday morning,' that perhaps the mistake might have occurred in packing some bo^es of specie for ihe West Indies, which had Been sent to Southampton for shipment. The suggestion was immediately acted upon. Here was a race, light* ning against steam ! and steam with eightand-forty hours start given.
