ANTS IMPROVED CHIMNEYS.
To construct chimney which would
carry smoke has been fund 10 prsc
tice one Of the mos precarious obi els
Of mechanism, - little has the theory
Of smoke and draft been understood.
that if ever a chimney was constructed
TO draw well, il was evidently mai
ter Of accidenr, for no mechanic seem
ed 10 have any rule for constructing &
chimney which would ensure a good
one. We have been extremely graft
fed within few days, by The inSpec
Iion Of hue, and a set Of fire places,
constructed upon q plan entirely new
in principle, invented by MIR. Henry
Ants. We had not the pleasure OF
seeing Mr.. Ants model, but We saw
the practicable effect OF his discovery,
by a chimney and fire places in
operation, in the house Of MIR Joseph
Wallace, in Front Street the success
Of which Is complete, and triumphant
Iy sustsins Mr.. Ants theory on it, is,
that cold atmospheric air tends 10 The
centre of gravity, iIll il meets with
some obstruction, which gives il anoth

cir is exactly vertical, in motion; that
hence, The fie TO carry il of should be
perfectly vertical, and 10 no place Of
smaller dimensions than at the bottom
or first inlet. He maintains that il mat
,ers not how many inletS there be to
1t, provided that the area Of cross sec
.ion Of the flus be equal to those Of all
the inlets combined, it may be grea
ter, but must never be smaller. He
therefore starts with single Aue from
the cellar, regulating tho size to cover
the area Of oil the contemplated inlets
from bottom TO top. He c1rnssi it up
all the way Of the same size, 10 exact
perpendicular direction; nor need the
wall be more than the width Of one
brick in thickness. Wherever he
wants e fireplace he attaches iambs Of
the usual shape. leaving the common
diculsr wall Of the Aue for .
back, throwing an arch across at The
proper place in the usual form cover
ing it tight to the back wall. Imme

ofthe arch, he leaves horizontal sper

Of the arch, which, for jambs from

have no doubt the plan will, on little

Southern Literary Journal.-The third
article in the January number Of this Peri
odical was no doubt designed to make an
impression upon the mind ofthe reader hos
tile to missionary operations, if not to the
Christian religion, as it IS understood oy
most Of the denominations of this State.
The article is a sketch Of "most afro.
cious liar called "Joe Wilkins" "He'
laughs with every body-lies with every boz;
dv .He is member Of several Socie.
ties-the Temperance, the Bible, Mtssiona-
ru and others. He talks to me just as
freely as he did at school; and I can see
that he lies just as much as ever."
Now, it is not said expressly that this afro.
cious liar is member Of any Christian
church--,his is left to be inferred; and 9th.
er statements are made calculated to ident''
fy him with Christians.

We are indebted to Col. Manning for |
copy Of the speech of Mr.. Pickens, of this !
State, on the abolition question, and the4
speech Of Mr.. Adams on his resolution to
inquire inlo the cause Of the loss Of the fos.i
tifcation bill Of last scscion.
The latter of these speeches we hsvc
read. We had previously seen ,sssated
somewhere that Mr.. A. was supposed to be
laboring under some degree Of mental de-
rangement; and while reading the speech
we were almost half inclined to suspect that
there was some shadow Of foundation in
truth for the report. Mr.. A. used to be q
good reasoner, but in different parts Of this
speech there is no connection between the
premises and conclusions. Besides, mad.
men often hate their best friends most and
the bitter hatred evinccd by Mr. A. in this
speech for Mr.. Webster his former friend
and supporter, savors very much Of noras
if not of mental insanity. Mr.. Adams's
recent movements remind US forcibly Of
some incidents in his past history, which are.
no. very crcdiable to himself nor to the
country over which he was afterwards made
President. He seems to us now little ike
a spoiled child, who is more frettcd by TAX
ing away its toy than it was gratifed in re-.
ceiving it.
We have also read the speech Of Mr..
Webster, which was the occasion, though,
not the cause Of Nj. Adams's fierce onset,
and though able, some part Of it evinccs q
littleness which we did not expect from so
great man. There was really no call for
his censuring as he did the House of Rep.
resentatiYes of the last session, nor any
propricty in his doing it. If party papers,
and even members Of high standing in the
House, censured the Senate and him parti-
cularly, he ought to have felt himself above
recrimination such as he INDUCED himself
in,

Tallahassee, Jan. 23.-We continue to

has been attacked near Newnansville, and
forced to retreat. A portion Of Capt. NJ

Government appropriate annually ten thou
sand dollars for the civilization of the In.

To understand more fully the extent Of
the outrage which has been committed upon
the constitution, it is necessary to bear in
mind, that this general congress was elected
under the constitution Of 1924, with consti.
tutional powers alone; that the members
took the oath prescribed by that constitution
to observe and sustain it, and that in viola.
ton of this cath the two houses decreed
themselves into convention, and united in
one house or chamber, thus destroying the
Senate and usurping powers which were
never granted.
