The people of oik have tried both rosin and coal gas, and Newton says that, to the consumer, there is ifference between rosin gas at $7 and coal ,t $4?the price charged in Norfolk, Winer, Charlottesville, &c. For reasons not ting the consumer, the Norfolk Company ged their works from rosin to coal. We add that the Staunton Company decided in of rosin works for the same reasons, in that influenced the Norfolk Company, but iave every assurance that our works will nue to operate well. e Gas Company of Norfolk lighted the city st with rosin gas. The selection of this ras owing to the smaller outlay required for lachiuery necessary for its production, and e superior brilliancy claimed for the light coal gas. The result of many experiments ! by scientific men at the north, upon the re 3 values of this and other gases, coincided :ablishing its greater purity and brilliancy coal gas. Without having these experi s now before me. and speaking from recolm only, the rosin was said to be nearly 100 ent, denser than ordinary coal gas; and as luminating power is in direct proportion to ensity, one cubic foot of rosin was stated to as much light as two of the other gas.

We commend them especially to those I who are in training for a life of activity, rather 1 , than meditation and profound thought: < "The mental activity of children should not I ; be spread over muuu umc uu ?uj uu> , i itsbould be very regular in its intervals, and, i very strenuous while it lasts. The great thing to gain is the capacity to put the faculties into i : intense and determined action at the precise mo- J , ment such action is demanded. The press on i which this sheet is printed would be of little I use to us if it required tweuty four hours to ' work off as many thousand copies, or if, with the , ability to print the whole edition in two hours, ) it could not be equally relied on, any part of t the day, to do it. There is something analogous in the demand made on mental machinery. You must purchase before a sharp sighted rival t anticipates you, and must think rapidly to de' cide whether the venture is likely to pay; the i cross-examination of opposing counsel draws ! out facts which upset your whole plan of de- r > fence, and your mind must be alert or your cli- t , ent and your professional reputation are alike , ruined ; your patient exhibits new and alarm ng symptoms, and his life depends on the readiness t with which you can command your resources; i the telegraph, at a late hour of the night, brings j . news of grave importance, and you must discov^ er and explain its bearings before the paper goes to press. The mind should be trained in child- < ! hood to meet the deraaud which will be made on j it in after life. I What will he mainly neeaea men is, unci good health and a constitution fortified forstren! uous work, and then alacrity, penetration, and i ' force of intellect, and the power of ready and > I entire concentration of all the mental energies on the business in hand until it is completed." f The Japanese have considerable religious , . freedom, notwithstanding their pagan notions, ( s and their isolation heretofore, as will be seen from the following account: 1 "The orthodox religion of Japan is Sintoo? all worship the sun. Their belief is that the world was regenerated through the instrumentality and appearance on earth of a female, and : after having performed this great and good work, i ' for which by God she was ordained, she ascend- i i ed to heaven and became embodied in the sun. i Their national flag is emblematical of their re' ligion, displaying as it does the sun in all its purity upou the white field. There are other , sects among them the most numerous would j ' appear to be the followers of Buddha. Many suppose that Buddhism is the principal creed, from the fact that its followers number three hundred and twenty millions ; this and the Ma- < homedan religion being the principal creed or religion of the nation of the East. The founder | of the Buddhist religion was a man called Sakya 1 Sintia, wtio was Dorn, its was supposes, ?nu| thousand four hundred and twenty years before the Christian era. It is not known for a certainty when Buddhism was first introduced into Japan. The statement so often made that Christianity is not at the present in auy way tolerated, i is a mistake, for the Government is far from be- , ing intolerant in religious matters. The people of Japan attend very little to religious matters. Religion is a matter of business, which is attend- I ed to altogether by the Makado and his priests. Some of the Japauese attached to the Embassy worship Buddha, some Sintoo, some Mahomet, 1 and some worship nothing. The two Ambassa- 1 dors and one of the interpreters are Buddhists ; ] the Censor has no particular religion; the Vice- | Governor is partly Sintoo and partly Buddhist." George McDuffie, one of the old-school ( statesmen of South Carolina, thus philosophical- | ly expresses himself on the subject of negro slaver}': I Where all the offices of dependent servitude are performed by a separate caste, distinguished by color, and wholly excluded from all participation in the government, it is not to be doubted, that the spirit of freedom is rendered much more , onrt l/\fW nmntiir tlinap who are frpp hv l"uuu ,V'VI n ; ' ~J the very contrast. No man in the Southern States, whatever may be his rank or station, would think of speaking to the very poorest white man in the community, with the imperious tone of insolence and authority, which are habitually used towards the white servants of the North. These views of the political effect of slavery, are conclusively sustained by the philosophical expositions of Mr Burke, in his celebrated speech on the conciliation with the , American colonics. And I will venture to pre, diet that if the liberty of this country shall be extinguished, the last glimmering of that glorious light will beam forth from the South.CONTRIBUTORIAL. A Sunday In Sew York. The outside world that one encounters in the bustle and jostle of hasty travel these times, impressesonc with too much distrust iu humanity.

We had been several weeks on the wing ; and had passed several days in New York. The outside world there too is very hard. One sees much that is cold, and selfish, and repulsive. The faces on Broadway seem to say?Take care! The summer Sabbath morning found us with the atmosphere of loneliness around us. The f forms that brushed our sleeve in hurried passing t j along the pavement seemed infinitely distant. ' Leaving the Metropolitan Hotel, going down ' | Broadway, the first church one finds is Fourth ,! Church. We turned in there. It was early, and i we had time to observe the gathering crowd. The crowd was perhaps less wealthy than filled the venerable walls of Trinity. It was less 11 select than that which listened that morning to - Dr. Taylor from the fashionable pews of Grace. | And doubtless I)r. Tyng appeared before a more ' | aristocratic auditory in the capacious aud costly l- St. George's ; as did also Dr. Clieever in the white-marble Church of the Puritans ; and Dr. I Mublenburg in the unique Church of the Iloly r: Communion ; and possibly also did Dr. Bellows - in that bizzarest of all church buildings, the; |.j Church of All Souls, which the profane many a; will persist in calling the Church of the Holy e; Zehra. i "I We turned in to the entrance of the Fourth | Church. We were kindly received and politely . disposed of. Dr. Chapin preached. He is a short man, full vI in person; having very much the presence of a r j Southern man. K j He read:?"Be not forgetful to eutertain "! strangers: for thereby same have entertained y angels unawares." !* These words were his text. His discourse * ! seemed to grow out of it without au effort. There p; was no labor at display?no ostentation. All ' was simjilt?, earnest, and practical. There was t,; nothing doctrinal. So quietly, so clearly, so e ! earnestly?nay, so fervently?flowed the great ,fj stream of truth which was not arguemcnt, that c many a knotty and often-repulsive duty bloomed e j forth in the beauteous hues of divine light and | love. The speaker never hesitated for a word, f - The gush of glowing charity that seemed wely | ling froin his heart hardly needed words. He e - showed the beauty and expediency of justice, ; even for the life here. V ice was folly.

Not Miss Lyons of Columbia, the accomplished 0 and brilliant brunette daughter of Israel. S Neither of these. Rutledge was written by e Miss Mintukn, a young lady of New York city; c me who breathes the atmosphere of upper-ten-dom P( ?a lady, that is to say, of high social position tl and, as Rutledge indicates, of coneiderable ge- j] aius in that way. a The book has had an unusual run with us in Columbia. Everybody is reading or has read it. tl ? f?i. ?j . me scene is new iur& ?uu tuci?iuvu>g| ?.vu a i dash or so elsewhere. It is the autobiagraphy c sf a beautiful and brilliant young lady, just a i, little fast. There are in it a "course of true a love," a seduction, a good many tears, a ghostly 0 room, a murder, two suicides, a flirtation, and fa of course a marriage. The hero, Mr. Rutledge, 0 lives at "Rutledge," a romantic old mansion. Hence the title. The heroine is an orphan, at a b boarding school, just like Jane JSyre and like s Beulah. She?her name never comes out in the J book at all?she spends some time at "Rutledge" 1 (mansion,)and falls in love with Rutledge (hero ;) s and he proceeds to return the compliment. He 1 is a solemn kind of body. Afterwards, the heroine lives in the city; sees the world, flirts and s dances. The parties become estranged?rough h ruuniug of love. Then, the country again. A I usual amount of useless reserve on the heroine's y part towards Rutledgc(hero)?useless and guilty, v we opine?pervades the volume. She herself a says her conduct towards him "is marked with pride, folly, and deceit;" and we agree with her. t This is the theme proper of the book. He is kept 1 in a fume all the time. Later in the story, a g great deal of romance is introduced?estrange- j raent, murder, suicide, nonsense, guilt, otherwise, ] reconciliation, and a good time generally, to quit ( on. , It is a good novel, and to a very large extent deserves the immense success it is having. Messrs. Townsend and North have it on sale, in Columbia. This firm is the former Toirnnmd <JCo. They have a large and varied stock of books on sale. Mrs. Rlon's Book. Its title is the "Ladies' Southern Florist." It is written by Mary C. Rion, of Winnsboro', S. C.; published by Peter B. Glass; printed by C. P. Pelham; bound by E. R. Stoke9 ; and sold by Booksellers generally, and Peter B. Glass in particular. It is a haudsome duodecimo, with border, printed in clear small pica; and is fair to see, reflecting credit upon our rising Southern house of publication, in Columbia. We said a few weeks ago, knowing the authoress, that the book would be quite the book in its special sphere. We were sure enough of it then, but are surer now, since we have examined for ourselves the greater part of the volume, in advance sheets. It deals in actualities?not in sentimentalities about roses, loves, angels, and ' such stuff of the fashionable poets. It tells in plain language how to plant flowers, when, and where; how to dig, trench, hoe, manure, prune and water the flowers ; how to kill bugs, caterpillars and worms; how to manage cuttings, buddings, and hundreds of other similar things. There is fifty times as much common-sense in this little book on flowers?on Southern flowers, be it remembered?as we have ever seen in anything of the kind. We have gone ourself to the books for facts on flowers, and we speak from our observation. The hooks are far too ambitious ?they are up in the skies of science, in the clouds of sentiment, but never down in the soil of practical facts. We have seen volumes read upon some favorite but sickly climber, which meanwhile died very quietly; all for want of some simple home truth too humble for the hooks, but which you can find given in unmistakeable language here in Mrs. Rion's "Southern Florist.'

We have had the Fourth Re port two or three months. The Spartan remarks : "The practical importance of the survey in which Prof. Lieber is engaged does not occur appreciatively to the popular mind, and already some opposition to its further prosecution is growing up in the State. We hope, however, it may not be arrested." We had been under the impression that every| body knew that the Survey was arrested at the ! last session of the Legislature?arrested by the I Legislature's refusing to appropriate any pay for the work. Mr. Lieber (not Prof. Lieber) accordingly, is not engaged in the Survey now, and has not been since last December. The appointment was made, but no appropriation to pay for the Survey was voted him ; and Mr. Lieber did not chose to work for nothing?very nat| urally, we think. J. W. D.
