' - taawgg Suggestions to oorGraud Juries. Tho sitting of the approaching Courts will afford a fine opportunity for the Grand Juries oi l^ictrinta trv nrcre nnnn the Lefrisla wac uiuvivuw ar>?w..vw. vv ^ ture the passage of such acts ns the moral wants of their communities may require. Should anythinglikearespectible number of them unite upon a presentment, it would more effectually secure the atttention of the members of this body than . the same suggestions from any other source, except, perhaps,^the direct instruction of their constituents. Are there, then, no measures of public utility, of such importance as to require the aid of these conservators of the morality and good order oi the State ? We think there are, and will proceed to point them out, under the hope that they may be brought before the proper tribunal, in such a manner as to secure a prompt and respectful con sideration. First, tlieu, the necessity of a more effectual system of punishment for our criminals has long been felt. It cannot be denied that it bears nc proportion to the crimes for which it is now in flicted. Although many improvements u?vc already been made in our penal code, some o] its enactment are stiil so extremely barbarous, that the leelings of the community revolt at a conviction, and others so lenient that the punishment often bears no proportion to the enormity of the crime. A poor, starving wretch, for instance, may steal a few hams of bacon, or some other property of but little value, and he is publicly tied to the whippingpost to receive the most disgraceful punishmeut that can possibly be inflicted upon a freeman, and lost to all shame or self-respect, instead of being reformed is turned loose upon the community in a state of mind well fitted for the most desperate crimes. On the other hand, should a public brawler, in a fit of madness, deprive a fellow-being of that life which it is the privlege of God alone to take away, he is probably confined a few months in the common jail of the District, with the full privelege of the whole house, and of every luxury and amusement which his friend may afford him. The only plan for the graduation of punish i- t> ?: ment to tne various crimes is me xt-uncuuai). It more effectually combines the objects of all punishment, the prevention of crime and the reformation of the criminal, than any other system that has ever been adopted; and what is no small item, it relieves the State from the expense of supporting her criminals. Wherever this system has been adopted it has met with universal favor. The labor, solitary confinement, instruction, both literary and religious, (for they are generally provided with libraries as well as chaplains,) have had a wonderful effect in not only reforming the criminal, -but in preventing crime, for in the States where Penitentiaries are established, no criminal escapes his just deserts. 'The certainty of punishment being found by experience to be of more importance than its severity, they are invariably convicted, and what is still better, punished, and better still, often reformed. No fact is better established than that the penitentiary system of punishment is the best that has ever been devised, and why our State so studiously refuses to bestow attention to the matter we are at a loss to determine. We hope, ' however, that the press and the people will take the matter in hand and agitate it until the Legislature is forced to yield, or at least until it ascertains from reliable data that the number of criminals in the State will not justify its adoption. _ * Another crying evil, which it would be well for our Grand Jurors to present for the consideration of the Legislature, is the carrying of deadly weapons concealed about the person. In consequence of the great perfection to which the mechanical arts have attained, these murderous instruments are now offered at so trifling a cost that every school boy, out of the pocket change which he is allowed by his parent or guardian, can arm himself in the most deadly manner: and as the bare possession of a weapon of this description almost invariably imparts a desire in the person who habitually carries one to use it, he is prepared, upon the slightest provocation, to deprive his assailant or perhaps innocent by-standers of their lives. Human life is too precious to be heedlessly taken, and the most stringent laws should be enacted against a habit by which it is momentarily endangered. There are other suggestions which we might have made, but we have already transgressed our limits, and perhaps have been engaged in a fruitless effort; we have the consolation, however, of knowing that we have discharged a public trust, and will leave the duty of acting upon those more immediately responsible.?Laurensville Herald. Mif tup Rnv ?M Sprvhi <->f Rf,nie. has made a series of photometric experiments on the disc of the sun, by means of a thermo-electric pile. He has found that the heat of the borders of the disc is nearly half that of the centre, which confirms, as regard; radiation of heat, what was already known for light and chemical action. But he observed further, that the heat was not the same at all points equi-distant from the centre; and that the place of maximum temperature was 3' above the centre; the isothermal curves were a species of parabola. The sun's surface differs in temperature not only because of the absorption due to its atmosphere, but also from certain inherent differences in the surface itself. But M. Secchi also remarks that at the time of the observations, the 20th, 21st, and 23d of March, the solar equator was raised about 2'-6 above the centre, and hence the inferior part of the disc presented the south pole of tliA Run while. the north nole was concealed ; and, moreover, the ascertained point of its greatest heat lies in the equator. The conclusion therefore follows that the equatorial regions of the sun are hotter than the polar. M. Secchi's observations did not extend to the spots of the sun; yet in a few trials they were found to pro duce a sensible diminution of temperature. He says that the prevalence of the spots about the equatorial region corresnonds well with the view that this part is the hottest in the sun. Scientific American. Liberality of Slaves.?A gentleman from Maine, on a visit to Charleston, S. C., writes in the Christian Mirror, that there are live thousand Methodist colored communicants in and near Charleston. and their contribution for benevolent purposes during the year past amounted to more than three dollars to a member. Dry Rot in Cotton.?A New pest to th I cotton plant has made its appearance in Louis f iatia aud Mississippi, and is described as appea; . ing in the shape of a bug or fly which penetrate i bolls fully matured causing them to rot and utterl destroying theiu. The singular feature of it is i appears to be confined to plants raised from wha has been called the improved seed?the Proliti* the Peruvian, the Prout, and othe' kinds. Th produce of the old Mexican is not at" all efl'et ted. Adjoining fields present the greatest cot trasts imaginable?one field, from the old seec , will be entirely free from injury, while the othei i from the Prolific, or other fancy descriptions, v.i f be almost entirely ruined. A correspondent of the New Orleans Bullt-ti ; has several stalks of cotton injured by the dr s rot shown him. They were sent to NewOrlean i as a sample of the ravages of this new destroyei The writer says: "Upon these stalks were a large quantity < [ bolls of every age, size and appearance. Som of the bolls which seemed, from their size, to b > within a few days of maturity, had quite a kealth outside appearance, and a few of these wer . handed me by Capt. Leathers, for dissectior f Upon cutting them open, the staple was in ever ( instance destroyed by a bug or fly, somethin />Amnmn knMlp hiit. miif?h smnl ISUVUIUHUg VHV- VVIUUlVu VVV"V) " . er. In others, where the decay was most con . plete, we found none of these insects, but a sraa worm, seemingly just hatched, and which mos i probably were the offspring of the bugs, whic Laving consumed the provender in these boll; , had gone on their mission of destruction to othe . more abundant regions. From these indication! the inference seems justified, that the dry rot i produced bp a fly, or a bug, more destructiv than the much .dreaded army worm, inasmuc as the worm only destroys the leaves and ver young bolls and forms, while these flies or bug assault indiscriminately the largest and smalles of the bolls." The Great Methodist Church Case.?Joh W. Nelson, the Commissioner to whom was re ferred the Methodist Episcopal Church case, ha made his report for adjusting the accounts be tween the Church North and South. The pre fits from that period, 1845, to January 1855 has been over $255,000?varying annually fror 17,000 to $69,000. The aggregate value of th Book Concern at the commencement of thisyeai was $608,431, the increas3 since 1845 beinj about 46,000. It appears, also, that the profit paid to the Northern beueticiarles since the di vision of the Church, have been $113,000. Th Southerners did not receive any during that pe nou, me normerners contending umi in conae quern* of their voluntary secession, they wer not entitled to participate in profits. The South erners contend that they should receive thei share in money, and that they are entitled t $70,000 more than is allowed them, while th Northerners contend that the sum due the South ern Church is $56,486 39, deducting$10,184 II due for the value of the three Southern newspa pers and the profits which have accrued ou then The Southern Church has taken exception to th Report, and the matter is again before the Cir cuit Court of New York. Events indicate that the Cuban Question ap proaches that state in which it will soon form i party issue in the United States. The institu tion, in this view, of the Lone Star is a signifi cant intimation. The purpose is not the presen invasion of Cuba. The design is so to operate on public opinion as to shape our policy on thi question through the election for the nex Presidency. It is by means of the aggrandizing West, and the commercial North, that publi* sentiment is to give the National Legislator and Executive action such direction as to malt annexation inevitable. The agencies relied on arc mainly jnercantil cupidity and the love of adventure. The firs will be found in our Northern cities, which ex pect golden rewards by the opening of the port of Cuba and the last requires very little stiinu lus in the masses of the West. By these tw< potent principles the design of annexation is t< be wrought to its consummation. In this posture of the question?between th< cupidity of the North and the territorial lust o the West?what will be the position of the South Between the two nether mill stones she will b< ground to dust. It is the policy of the South ern States that Cuba should remain iu stati quo. It is the wish of her citizens that the odi ous monopolies, political and commercial, bi which that siland is deformed should be abol ished. Its oppressed people have their syrapa thies, but in the hereafter?in the dim obscun of the future?there is more to be hazarded fron evil example, in a revolutionary movement, thai can be gained according to any rational proraisi or expectation. If the incubus of the Spanisl authority could be removed by any means shor of internal convulsion, the lesson of caution, it giving even moral aid to such a movement wouk be inappropriate and impertinent. If the argu ment, in this aspect, does not address itself wit! sufficient force to citizens of the Union generally it does with peculiar emphasis to all in the South ers States who arc by association, directly or in directly, lending their name, influence and au thority to that popular impulse which is fast dri ving the people of the United States to the aban donment of our non-intervention policy. Most unfortunately, the Cuban authorities, bj their insane restrictions on American vessels, ar< helping forward the schemes of those in the Uni< ted States, who wish to revolutionize Cuba. Bi subjecting our shipping and citizens who visil the Island to odious exclusions, they are giving i new momentum to public opinion in favour 01 intervention. These measures may not preci pate an invasion of the Island at present, bul they will change our present neutral attitude, il it does not force the Executive to demand pres> eut redress for insults to the National flag.

In an article entitled "Rerainiscenses of Printers, e Authors," etc., in New York, published in the Intcrnah tional Magazine for February last, we find some inter resting facts. It is stated that when Franklin was a v 0 printer, it was a hard task to work off over a thousand \ e sheets on both sides in a day, by the hand press. Since c his time, wo have had the Clymer, the Napier, the ^ 0 Raraage, the Adams, and now Hoe's Lightning Press. | By this last-named achievement in the arts so honoral. ble to a son of New York, and so stupendous in its re- ? e suits to the world at large, twenty thousand papers 1 may be printed in one hour, 1 II IPU. XT V?I- TT 1A ?_J jl uu a via xiciuiu, auu uic iuuuuv, in mvu distinct circulation, consume an aggregate of fifty thousand reams per year. The Harper's, who have thrown a a John Baskerville, and other eminent typographers of !j i- Europe in the shade by the magnitude of their operai tions, use one hundred reams of paper daily, at six 1 t dollars per ream, and make about ten volumes a mill- c 5 ute, or six thousand a day. In the matter of storeo- J s typing, the Harper's alone?a single firm?have within J t their vaults plates frr more than two thousand volumes. ^ I Justly has it been stated, that the press of a single t 1 office in New York City issues more matter than the ^ e industry of the world with all its scribes and illuminac tors, in an entire year, previous the time of Faust. Let t us, then, reverence the press as our Franklin did. Lot c 0 us cherish its freedom, as the triumph of our fathers, ^ if we lovo the name of patriot. Let us teach our children to acknowledge it the palladium of our altars and js our firesides Let us recognize it as the Great Instructor, knocking at every door, and rendering every hovel, ^ 3 as well as every palace, a school house." 3 The Fever in Savannah.?The Savannah Courier e publishes a letter of Dr. Arnold, which states that two s j cases of yellow fover has, in tho last month, occurred ? ' in his practice in that city. Ho speaks of them as iso- 1 e latod cases, and says that he has not, as yet, observed ^ any epidemic tendency to this disease. 1 A Tho Hon. James Whitcomb, Senior U. S. Senator 1 f from Indiana, died "Tit New York on Monday night Had bo lived, ho would have held his scat until 1855. f 2 Valuable Sheep.?It is said that at the late exhj- I1 1 Ktfinn or tho Vermont State Acricultural Societv. there t 1 wero sheep of the French Merino breed present which t 2 $1,000 would not buy, and the stock from which sells t 1 readily for from $200 to $250 for owes, and $250 to ^ $400 for bucks. a * Thomas M. Foote has been appointed Charge to Austria. It is not often that a political cai 5 1 tor is so lucky as he has been. He was four 1 ' years ago editor of the Commercial Advertiser b at Buffalo, N. Y. In 1849 he was appointed n Charge to the Republic of Now Grenada, from d which post he was recalled at his own request, e and took charge of the Albany Register in place b of Jerome Fuller, who was appointed Chier Jus a tico of Minnesota. The Senate has rejected the ' nomination of Mr. Fuller, and Mr. Foote is sent J abroad again on another mission. To be taken n from the Editorial chair and sent to represent his S| ' country to foreign Governments twice within a p 1 little mora than three years, is a high proof of tl the distinction with which Mr. Foote is regarded n at Washington. P Sickness in Southwestern Georgia.?The a Albany Patriot of the 1st inst. says: w " Wc learn that rumors have gone abroad that 1 this section of the State is very sickly, and that ? mortality has been very great. There has been tl ? more " chill and fever" in this section this season than usual, but it has generally been of a mild [ character, easily yielding to medical treatment; fc . the mortality has been very little in this place and g in the pine land section. On plantations in the neighborhood of oreeks and swamps, the sickness a has been severe, but we think it has not been worse di than in similar situations in any othersection. 6t This has been an unusually sickly year through- ^ , out the Southern States, so far as we have hi heard." hi / "W -It*** MMMiaiiiMMi " Adam Clark on Dancing."
