4 4'" IMPORTANT PHOTOGRAPHIC INVENTIONSOLAR CAMERA. Uiulor the litlu of Solar Camera, our ingenious townsman, Mr. IX Woodward, lias invented an instrument which cannot fail to effect a groat revolution in photographic pictures. Our readers have noticcd the daguerreotypes and photograph in oil, which have recently bccomo so popular; hut many may not have an idea of the manner in which they are obtained. For their benefit we propose to make a brief explanation. The photograph is taken in the usual way by means of aAnogalivo on glass, which is printed upon canvas or paper. The canvaB is prepnred^in a peculiar inanucr to make its surface receive the silver-salt on which tho printing is to bo efl'ectod by the rav? of the sun. The glass negative is then laid upon the canvas or paper, the whole placed in direct sunlight and allowed to remain until an inspection of tho surface rcvoals the fact that the darkening of the silver-salt i? complete. In this way, the image or out. lino is obtained, and then the artist proceeds to paint over it. Several inconvcnicnces have been experienced in this procedure, and many atteinps havo been made to get rid of thorn, but hitherto without success. In the first place, tho positive picture must be the same size ns the negative from which it is printed.? In order to acquire such large negatives, tho photographers have been compelled to onlargo their cameras to a most unwieldy size. Tho peculiar optical defect of the lenses used, which cannot be wholly avoided then made themselves very apparent. The fill _I 1 I 1. /\ ...no I r.lli JieiU Ul'lllg tliu Ililcl^U Wi?D I Mill VI1111 and distorted; dim, because of the diffusion of the rnyB of light; distorted, because of the wide surfaco of lens upon which tliey fell. The artist, again, experienced .1 further difficulty. The oil paints with which ho colon&ihc jinagc thrown upon the canvas ore opaque necessarily, therefore the laborsaving of the photograph is confined to the first painting. The canvas once cove red} the out-line is gone forever, and the artist is compelled to copy from nature or from a photograph, just as though ho had never had the benefit of the photographic outline. Huskies, the action of the chemicals employed in the pain table photographs was thought to be injurious to tho brightness of the colors. Mr. Woodward's apparatus entirely obviates these objections. He takes an ordinary glass picture, of small size, and throws it up to a?i}' size he pleases, producing an image of Ihc most remarkable brilliancy.? By using tlie small picture, lie has the advantage of greater clearness and accuracy in the original picture, and by using a small lens with a diaphragm, lie gets rid of all aberration, and gets an image perfectly reproducing all the details of the original. - The picture, wo may state, is introduced into the instrument, and the image thrown upon a screen or canvas to any desired size. The artist who has had his picture transferred, or whoever has a blank canvas before him, he can, with this apparatus, work with a confidence which lie never heforo possessed. As the instrument can be used in a light room, the image being still beautifully clear and distinct, the artist has only to trace the outlines and put in the shadows of the original. All tho while ho is working the image is there upon his canvass, not in iiis minu s eye, out substantially ucfore liiin, mingling its lineaments with those ho has already painted, resting upon them, and perpetually making its mute criticism upon his work. Tliero is no fear of losing the outline. It cannot be painted out. The instrument by which those results is attained is very simple. It is a camera to which the arrangements of the solar microscope and magic lantern have been appended. It is a? box with a moveable mirror behind to reflect the rays of the sun upon a lens which receives them and throws them in a brilliant disk upon the image, illuminating equally and perfectly every portion of the field. The mirror is moved by two screws forming together a un:vcrsnl joint? by. which tho mirror can be accurately adapted to the changing directions of the solar rays. A slido receives the glass picture* the image from which passes through an acromatic lens and is thrown up, of courso, to any desired size. A diaphragm is usually added for the sako of insuring greater brilliancy and precision of outline. There is also an arrangement for introducing gas into the interior, if it is desired to use the instrument at night. By shifting the box a little, it can he made a camera for taking the picture which it is afterwards to en, large. The many applications of this instrument will occur to any thoughtful mind. Its employment in printing positive from negativo pictures is a gfreat merit. There is no ne cessity that the pictures copied shall be of the same size as the copy. It may bo either enlarged or diminished, the detail in either ease remaining perfect. We need only add that this instrument need not be attached to the window like a solar microscope. It remains inside of the room, upon an ordinary camera stand, care being taken that the rays of the son shall fall upon the mirror. It is very portable, and it has the merit of being the only apparatus of tho- kind that has been able to accomplish any practical results.?Baltimore Patriot. \r Wholesale Poisoning.?Either the public is unnocessarily alarmed, or there is a good i deal of unwholesome food for sale this year. It is known that the late freshets Bast and West ?f us drowned large numbers of cattle, sheep and hogs, It is now reported that a j regular business has been done in recovering their bodies and selling' them for meat in the cities. A Jorge business of that kind has been done at New Albany and elsowbore. THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE. Everybody knows* that despite legal penallies ami llio moral reprobation of Christendom, the Slavo-Trade continues to flourish in unimpaired prosperity. Indeed, it is the general opinion that the traffic increases from year to year ; but the public have only a vnguo idea about the matter, and their conclusion rests upon no basis of ascertained fact. In the New York Herald of ycslcrdayi we find an exceedingly interesting and instructive articlo in which the history of the alave trado is recited with the laws and treaties intended for its suppression, and explanation of the manner in which the traffic is conducted, a description of the persons and capital engaged in its prosecution, and a statement of its results. The paper will hereafter appear in our columns. At present, wo propose to direct attention to a few of its moro prominent points?reserving a more thorough discussion of tho subject to some future day. It is generally known that slavery was introduced into this country by a Dutch ship, which brought a cargo of negroes to Virginia in 1G20. During our colonial existence tho slave-trade was ragarded as a legal commerce by all nations, and its profits wore eagerly coveted by all tho maritime Powers. England was particularly succesful in prosecuting it. and in a memorable instance she had her rights to tho monopoly of the traffic recognizee! in a treaty for the settlement of Europe. This interesting fact is overlooked by the writer in tho Herald; bnt ho fixes the chief responsibility of the slave-trade upon English enterprise and cupidity. lie says, "at first, tho trade was prosecuted almost exclusively by tho Sbaniards and Portuguese, who brought over r. few negroes to tho Antilles, the newly settled districts in Brazil. It shortly after passed into the hands of the English, whoso superior skill and energy as sailors gave them advantages over the Cavaliers of Spain. Bristol, in England, was for a long time tho principal soat of tho slave-trade. ami Liveipool owed .1 greater pnrt of lior early growth to the same profitable occupation. The English, lip to the presentcentury, wero tho great slave-traders of the world." It was a Providential thing, that firet cargo of slaves in 1C50. The condition of slavery was so obviously suited to the nogroi and tho negro so well adapted to tho service, that the trade throve apace. Instantly an impulse was imparted to the colonies that had long languished in want and weakness. The production of tobacco was multiplied an infinitn fold , tho culture of cotton was introduced. But for tho supply of ; slave labor, th<s earliest efforts in tho proI duction of cotton might have miscarried, the enterprise might have been abandoned, and civilization have wanted one of its most efficient instruments. Tn five hundred and eleven slaves wero imported into Charleston; in 1705 'CO, Ill toon hundred wore carried into Georgia. lTp to 180S, tlio importation of slaves Jinto this country did not execed 3;j0,000. The aggregate number that had been carried into the British West Indies in 1817, was not less than 1,700,000, of which, by the way, only 600,000 survive at the prcsen1 I <i?yI Passing over the interval from the period when the slave trade was declared to bo piracy to tho year 1840, we find that the number into Brazil from that year to 1851? inclusive, was 348,000, or a little more than 30,000 a year. During tho Bamo period ' tho number importod into Cuba, amounted to an average of about 0,000 a year. The following tables show tlio importations into Brazil and Cuba from 1851 to 1854: Slaves. Imported into Brawl iu tlio yonr 1851 ... 47,000 ? - " 1852... 60,000 ?' " " 185a... 3,700 Totid 100,700 Imported into Cuba in 1851 5,000 ? " " 18A2 7,924 " " " 1853 12,500 " " ?' 1854 10,280 85,653 100,700 j _____ Totul 136,354 ^For tho four years from 1851 to 1854, inclusive, this gives and average importation into both countrios of something over 30,000 a year. As perhaps not more than three-fourths ot tho whole number was reported to tho mixed commission, the yearly average for this period may be set down at 40,uuu. f rom tlio year 1054 thcro woro few, if any, slaves imported into Brazil, in consequence of tho laws passod by the government of that country against tho traffic. Tho slave-trade is now mainly, if not wholly, carried on with Cuba, which imports about twenty thousand slaves every year? which, added to the total of the trade with both Brazil and Cuba sinco tho year 1850, gives the average number imported every year, up to tho present time, at about 30,000. Thus 6tands the slavo-trado at tho present day. In view of its flourishing condition, ARA rton 1? tViHx * 1 * * vnv vau uniuij Mtlli UUUUl FCV1V111^ It ! It is more rational to inquire how it is that the business prospers splendidly under the discouragement of so many and such grievous .ponalties ? How is it that neither the vigilance ol fleets, nor tjjo severity of laws, nor the repngnanco of mankind, can arrest its progress or impair its growing fortunes ?? May it not be suspocted that it is opposod only by Btupid prejudice ? Who knows, if fconsider^feur judgmont, but we may dis, cover Ural tho slave-trade has the sanction of reason, and isjrindicated by experience ?

' . i. U. w- i. i t*# i.j i orfergies to tlio service of mankind : is all i this of no account in tlio opinion of rollout- ' ing people i Strike tlio balance, and say if tlio advantages of tlio slave-trade do not infinitely preponderate over its evils ? It is an interesting inquiry, but we can pursuo it no farther. The policy of attempting to legalize the traffic, wo would obscrvo, is a very dill'erent question. If the slavc-lrado bo thus prosperous, pray whoso wealth and energy are supporting it? The writer in the Herald, himself, we suppose, a Northern man, may give the answer : Vessels for tlio African slave-trado have been fitted out at Baltimore, New York, Bristol, It. I., Boston, and Portland, Me.; but New York is tlio favorito point, becauso it is so much easier, in tho crowd and rush and whirl of business lioro, to carry on tho operations silently. Again : It is in New York, as wo havo already stated, that tho greater' part of tho slavo lleet is fitted out, and a portion of the capital is furnished by some of her wealthiest citizens?men who havo acquired tlieir fortunes in this trade. The credit which tho vjuuan sinvc-iraucr ei.joys iu uur nijukci ia probably as high as that of any class of merchants, not even excepting the llothcliilds. They find no difliculty in obtaining advances to the amount hore upon the securities they ofter, and many of our Iionest psalm-singing merchants take advantage of the odium which attaches to tlio business, to charge an oxtra per centage for their services. Thus it is. Tltcso " psalin singing merchants" in Portland, Boston, and New York, steal tlio negrooa in their primitive abode, subject tliem to all the honors of the "middle passage," and sell them into the intolerable slavery of Brazil and the West Indies. We inherit them from our fathers, and cherish them with considorate kindness. The Yankeo kidnapper is a pious philanthropists; Ilia Southern master is a hideous monstor. Ihis is tlio sort ot sense and justico which prevail in these degenerato days. ?The South. DOESTICKS ON GARROTTING, rhilandor Doostioks, the keen and clover caricaturist, holds forth this on tho subject of g.-irrotting. It seems he thinks thcro is inoro of this species of rascality in the newspapers than in tho streets, for lie give two or three cases that would hardly bear tho ! cross examination of Counsellor Brady. As for example:? 1 lgiorcl, my cstecmcu inenu ana tcuowboardcr at Mrs. Snagley's, has boon garrotted ; and it really seems as if the robbers must have intimately known his private affairs, because the event occurred on the night of the very day that he received a iomittance from England to pay Mrs. SnagIcy his five months' board ; ho appeared at breakfast-table next morning with a countenance so much damaged, and was so cast down on her account, that she could not find it in her heart to refuse him three months longer credit until ho can get another remittance from.England. Jenks, another of our boarders, was garrotted twice in or.o week?it has a bewildering effect upon Jenks?it makes him unsteady in the legs, and causes his breath to smell of rum-punch : on the ?rst occasion of the robbing and choking outrage ho rung the area bell of the house on the other aide of the street, until a policeman interfered and brought him homo ; then Jenks inveiglod the policeman into the house and delivered him over to mo with ir.any formalities, assuring me that he was a garrotter whom ho had overpowered and captured by main strength and ho showed tlio star on the M. F.'s breast tlio place where the. invinciblo fist of Jenks liatT "smashed his law." Jenks was garrotted again two days aflor, and brought homo by a gontlemanlylooking individual who pickcd liis pockets at tho door, took his overcoat, changed hats with him, and then rang tho bell for tho girl to como and let Jcnks into tho house. The girl came, and found this individual trying to whittle off one of tho pickets of tho iron fonco with his pen-kriifo, and mean "while making a furious attempt to sing tho words of "Evening IlyraB to tho Virgin" to the classic air of " Root, Hog, or Tho mania has extended ovon to tho kitchen, and the servants are now following tho example of their bettors, and getting garrotted on every favorable opportunity ?if the boy goes to the butchor's, ho is in I 1_ If t_ 1 variaojy, according w iiis own account, avtnckcd by a band of ruffians and robbed of ibe money before he gets home?this has happened four successive days in broad day light, and has cost Mrs. Snagley about fourand-sixpence a time. I sent Sally, the little erratid girl, with a dime for some beer and she returned in team, with the news that she, too, had been 'garrotted,' and had lo6tthe cfcango. She her fist full of lemon candy, and bad two big apples in her pocket, which I suppose tho robbers had given her. The Retime.?Julia?Now, Alfred, dear I must leave you.
