This extraordinary article is manufactured b) W. I* Ktrid-o & Co., New York and Bostdn. Ttie success with which it has bee* reeeiwd by ?? over credulous public, aoaad Sir. F. C. Wells, of New York, to pat up a preparation, which be designated by the name of ' Balm oFTen Thousand jFiowers.'' Of course, Messrs. PetrnJge & I Co. were not to be irnpo&ed upon iu any such manner, after, as they declared, the original rece.pt cost tbeiu 910,000. So thfy brought a stilt against Mr. Weils to restrain bun from using a n.imo so much Cite that of their own mixture. The trial came ofT in New Votk, a ft- w weeks since. The plaintiffs uere obliged to read the receipt, and it appears that this I woodarisl mixtuio was compounded of pahn oil, potash, alcohol and white sugar, iloney was formerly used instead of sugar, mod hence the name, " Balm of sr Thousand Flo wars." The preparation, including the bottle and wrapper, cost about 4Kea cents, and is retailed for fifty.

It is highly bi to mi nous, and the fire day accompanies it The aand atone and fossils ire the same as on Deep River. This point is 7 >r 8 miles West of Fooenxa'a, which ia the extreme joint at which any actual diaoovery of coal boa aeretvfore been made. The coal bason ia thus shown to be 88 miles in ength, with the probability of its extending io i'ee Dee River. Piofeesor Johnson expressed the >pinion that the coal baton extended Sooth-West o the Montgomery line. From recent discoveries, ire think, there are reasonable data for the opinod, that the coal bason docs extend to the Pee [Dee, near the mouth of Little River, and thence in a Sontli Westerly direction through Anton, and perhaps through the North-West corner of Cheaterfisld, where there is an out crop of the old red sand stone.

The oration was delivered by the Rev. J. R. Pickett, of the Meth odist Episcopal Church. The remark is universal, that the subject ol Temperance has been worn threadbare?that lit tie new could be expected from the most gifted on such occasions. On (his occasion, however, the remark did not apply. The speaker not only Baid many new, but also many good things, appropriate and illustrative of the subject of hit discourse.

I [From the N. O. Daily Delta. I Southern Organization a " So long"?thus we read in the editorial col* nrans of the Natchez, (Miss.,) Pree Trader of the 28Ih ulU, a paper which ia published at Gen. j Quitman's home, and ie supposed to represent his 1 political views?"so long as there are political principles to be constructed and enforced in the ^ Union, wis are in favor of the ascendeucy of un- t adulterated Democracy. And so long as the South 8 is content to defend her rights and honor in the ^ Union, we know of no party in the Union in whose capacity or disposition to proteot thoee >] rights we wonid give the snap of oor finger ex- \ cept the Democratic party. But should the South determine that national parties are powerless in J the protection of their rights in ths Union, then j we say organize a Southern party upon the etern- ( al principles of pure Stat* Rights, with snch other principles as the exigencies of the times may call for." The above, coming from the source it does, is significant enough. Conoeding the Free Trader to bo a genuine Southern journal, which sees i more lhau " through a glass darkly" the real c condition and tendency of national politics, as re- j spects the safety and destiny of the South, we fee) prone to lay aside the preliminary hypotheses and contingencies, nrmesely intended to somewhat mitigate the emphasis of the concluding proposition and render its enunciation less start- i ling. Doing this, the gift, the pith, the gravamen 1 of the Free Trader's article stands sharply outlined before us in the advice: "Organize a Southern party upon the eternal principles of pure \ States' Rights, and upon such other principles as the exigencies of the times may call for." We say that we lay aside the hypotheses and j contingencies which are mentioned; and well we may do to. They refer no longer to hypothetical conditions; they relate no longer to contingent a possibilities. Hypotheses has become demonstration ; contingency is reality. Henceforth?so it is written in t!4b book of fate?no power, under J Heaven, can save the South but the South. She must resolve to conquer her own destiny or re- j linquish it forever. No national party can save her, because the very essence of political nation ' ality consists In the steadfast cohesion with those . who have the power and the will to crush her. Such a nationality would afford about as much I ? flifl anon/inilft orivAs tn tha victim he i swallows; it might absorb, but it would not defend.
