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.

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

. 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.

Interesting Facts.
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. |

i- Europe in the shade by the magnitude of their operai

I Justly has it been stated, that the press of a single t

us, then, reverence the press as our Franklin did. Lot c

* 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

. 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
