The 3 ew Mineral Corniidnm?Its History and
Remarkable Prope rties.
A recent debate in Congress, upon a propo?
sition to. admit free of duty, machinery for the
manufacture in the West of plate glass, brought
into notice a mineral almost'unknown to the
gener.il public, yet which from- a very early pe?
riod 'has occupied a prominent place in the
mechanical arts. This substance?corundum
?has been in use in Egypt, India and China
from .a remote age, under various names, as an
abrasive agent of great hardness and cutting
ewer. There is little'doubt iff was the material
which, was engraved many of the obelisks
? of'Egypt and the granites of Asia Minor and '
Hindustan, as well as f.U the precious stones'
cut by the lapidaries of the Orient?with the
exception of the diamond, it being the next
hardest substance in -nature to-that prince of j
gems. Our readers' will not confound the min?
eral under notice with the Naxoe, Ephesiarj
and e ther varieties of ejiery, sometimes called
corundum,in commercial parlance. The dif?
ference between the two ia very marked, coruc
dwm4be?gpurfralumiti,rpth a cutting- power
?taineftr, wmle?ie best emery tff commerce?
that of Naxos?is a mixture of oxide of iron
and f^umini,.with an. abrasive power of fifty
sever.. This difference has bean shown by Dr.
J. Lawrence Smith, of Louisville, Ky^ proba?
bly the bestauthority; on. the subject, in a series
cf interesting papers, oublished in Silliman's
Jovnvxl in 1850-51 and 1866. The attention
of the'Western Tvorld was called first to the
subject of corundum, by Sir Charles Greenville,
in a .very .elaborate, and exhaustive paper pub?
lished in tne'proceediujjs of the Royal Histori?
cal Society ?f London'lor tiie year 1798. Thfe
learned gentleman, being at the time a resident
of India, visited.the Jollity there which from
ancient date had been the chief source of sup?
ply for the mineral, and very little can now be
added to the description he jgase of the same.
While India has been ffie chief source of sup?
ply for the article, its product being known' in
the trade .as the. "Carnaiio" crystals, yet the
mineral has been discovered in many localities
both- in theOTd and Nf w Worlds. The corun?
dum of commerce came to the market until a
Iate.iiate almost entirely in the form of crys?
tals, picked up in the mountain ravines of India
and China, and brought down by the natives in
small quantities on taedr backs. The supply
has always been very t.ncertaip, the' market at
times heilig bare and .commanding large pricey
from parties who must have it, such as lapida>
?iesr manufacturers of corundum wheels, ?c.

Petersburg. New-wants having arisen for a

expensive for the purpose, search was made in
various sections of- our -country for pure corun?
dum., which was at last found and is being

rom this mine are before us. They are the
pure Orientails^pftre,, ruby and topaz, al?

cutting quality that will polish any substance
but the diamond, and even that when rapid
friction is used; in fact," they only' lack trans?
parency to be pure .gems of sapphire and ruby.
We are informed1 it. was* fVonl this mine the

erable interest in the neighborhood of the lo?

remote districts! The fact that the gems
known ?s sapphire, rtiby, &c.; are simply pure
corundum, has raised the belief in Sue minds of J

He is old. rich, and married to a young and

to' test them by stratagem. Announcing bis
intention to spend a month at an eastern water
cure, he departed one-morning, but returned
by 'the next" train. Reaching" 'home* late in the
evening, he armed himself and started .for his

ght light in his wife's bed-room. Crouching
ander the window he heard a low murmuring
of voices, and at' ence began to work himself

the house and hastening to his wife's room, he
demanded instant admittance. There was a

Planting for the Next Crop.
We are informed by our~correspondents in
every portion, of .the cotton-growing States that
preparations for the next crop are being made
on, an enlarged; scale,, and we fear unless this
disposition to expand receives some check, the
South will find that-the 'coming' year's work
ha!? resulted in their-growing poorer* instead of
richer.- coqrse,yit ianot dWirable.. .and in
fapvty would be & very . short-sighted policy to
keep the supply of American cotton short; but,
at the same time, it .is worth, while for the
planter, wh'o-h!glving tip everything to cotton,
to consider what sacrifices he is willing to ac?
cept for the purpose of furnishing the world
more than it can consume. First, it is well to
remember that provisions have been cheaper
this year than they are likely to be another
twelve mpntns. Prices for corn and pork have
ruled extremely low. This has been very favor?
able to the South, and has enabled the hitter to
raise the present crop at a much smaller cost
than any crop since the war. Higher prices to
be paid for supplies is a point worth consider?
ing. Second r'Frdm every/aide we learn that
there is to be a lavish use of fertilizers?judi?
ciously used on a limited planting would most
j likely result: in a gain; but from the evidence
I received oh this point we fear that the experi?
ence of 1870 is to be repeated, resulting in a I
further increase in the expense account. Third:
Then'again, with a large crop, the cost of the
; labor .to work it will be increased. Contracts
j are at present, we understand, being made with
I the freed men at about - last year's rates; but,
when the busy season comes and extra help is I
[ called in, there will' be increased competition
? and consequently increased Wages to be paid.
? Here, then, are three , causes operating to en
: nance the cost of the present crop to the plant?
er. Fourth: On the other hand, suppose aj
j five million crop is received, what can we reas- I
onably expect the price will be? Planters, we
know, are many of them deceived by the high
quotations .now -ruling,, and believe that this
year is in that respect to repeat itself. The
truth, however, is that consumption cannot in
one year be very largely increased ; the .spin- j
? dles^must be mafe,,before they, can be run.---j
j With a'-gobd season; 'then," ifbr growing, and j
'? with, a supply .from- America -eonsiderably in I
I excess of any possible consumption, and with
! orher countries,"?;" too, growing all they can, as I
wV have every reason to believe they will, it I
cannot be a very difficult problem to determinel
what the average price will be. And with~~?j
very poor price for cotton and all the wheat J
and corn and provisions to buy, in what condi?
tion is another winter likely to leave the plant
er ? Is there not enough in these suggestions
to lead the planter to see the folly of giving up
all his land to cotton ? Would it not De wiser
to raise all the food you want, and after that
I raise all the cotton you can economically ? No
other policy is safe, and the merchant who
I makes the advances should see that it is carried
oaU-^Finahcial Chronicle.- .
The Plain Truth.?Thet Richmond IKs-1
patch closes a leading article with the following
suggestive paragraph:
"The country is ruled through its fears and
its ignorance. We. of the South can do noth-1
ing. , We><fian Daly/pope Tot^" betteir day. It
does seem as if the passions aroused by the
war ought to have subsfded before now. But]
they have not. And the reason is that there
are so many people even now in the North who
know that in the late war the South fought for
the true principles of constitutional liberty and
the North against them. Greeley and other]
honest Republicans, who have no knowledge
of constitutions and laws except such as they j
have nicked up in newspapers, and who believe
that the Constitution was never strained, much I
less destroyed, by Mr. Lincoln, are in favor of
universal amnesty. They are satisfied with the
war and with its results. , But. those men who
know how'they have wronged the Southern
people and imposed upon their own, will never I
be ready to forgive us for having had the right I
side in the war. The wrong-doer never for?
gives his victim. This is the true secret of the I
? opposition f??mnest'y and of the hostility to
;the South." ? ? -. ? ; v >
