are compelled to live by haves-and die by inches
Study and labor to excel your competitors, and then
you will fail to command the patronage Of the most
discerning and liberal paymasters, There is a great
variety Of highly useful knowledge which appertans
every kind OF business that may be acquired by

wright the mechanic powers should be well understood
and il the machinery is to be propelled by steam or
water you should study the science Of Hydraulics and
should have perfect knowledge OF the chemical COM
binaton Of heat and water both in its latent and active
state, and understand hour quart OF water converted

The fact was known a quarter of century 10
Chymists that gum shelsc insonbe in water be-

The whole art of giving beautiful and durable colors
different bodies, depends entirely upon the chymical
affinity Of such bodies for the colorng material, and the
affinity Of this latter for the different coIored rays of
light.
We speak undcrs,andingly, when we say, that the

tons Of dollars annually, from the lack Of scientific
knowledge how best to combine vegetable tann,n with
animal gelatin which is the chymca process Of making
eather--cal it by what other name you please.
There is vast amount OF knowledge which is now
completely useless that ought to be brought home to

We learn from the Natchez Courier that the u
s. Bank has purchased of the Commissioners of the
State of Mississippi the Union Bank Bonds Of that
State 10 The amount Of five millions of dollars which
are to be paid for in the following manner, viz:

December.
ST. 100000 in New York or Philadelphia, 60 days
after LIST of January.
In reference to this important transaction, the
Courier says:
=" Most sincerely do congratulate the State of
Mississippi upon this timely and advantageous nego-
tiation Nothing in the range of probability could
have been done signally beneficial to the citizens
of our State particularly those ofthe interior, this
arrangement. II will enable the Union Bank forth
with TO commence discountng, which she will in
no doubt do, as understand is the intention at the
rate of about million and half month, until she
will have loaned TO our citizens about and
half millions This will afford great relief to those
who are compelled to pay money TO the Marshal and
SherS at the fall terms of the courts and thus
immense amounts of property from sacrifice under
the hammer--it will Immediately revive our cur
rency and resuscate the depressed condition of all
the monetary affairs OF the State whereas If the ne
gotiation had not been made nth Mr.. Biddle, it
could not have been made on this side Of the Atlantic
And even if the Commissioners had been successful
in Europe the relief would have come too late for all
those who need assistance this fall"
