NEW INVENTIONS.

1t is no slight evidence of the inventive spir-
it of the age, that almost at the same time,
three apparently equally important discover
les, in the department Of the fneiarts should be
made in Paris, Pe.ersburgh and Berlin. While
Dagurre, in Paris, found out how to produce
the most accurate copies Of subjects in a
chemical way by means of the action of light,
while jacob in Petersburgh, transformed by a
galvanc process, engravings on copper into
works in relief without destroying the form Z,
an invention by means of which it is possible
to multiply in mechanical way, oil paintings
with all their brilllancy of colours, and that
with fidelity hitherto unattainable Is sp.
preaching to perfection at Berlin. The inven'
tor, Jacob Leipmano, has been led by his
studies Of colouring. and The mixing of colours
to the idea on which he has been already en-
gagged ten years, til he has recently been en-
abled to accomplish the difficult object which
he proposed for himself.

THE CHINCH RUG.

A letter from Fairfield District, dated the
4th inst.. gives the f,llowing account OF this
new and formidable enemy of our grain crop.
[Char. Cour.
"The Chinch Bug has done serious injury to
the provision crops in various parts OF the up
country, but they are not general IN thel. az,
tacks-some crops in the same neighborhood
suffering severely, while Lthers remain unin-
iured, and some entire neighborhoods suffering
but little. 1t is not 10 be concealed, however,
that they are comparatively new and for
midable enemy to the farmer in nearly every
section of the State. They exist in the lower
country. but as yet not in numbers sufficient
to do any material injury. They collect in
shoals upon the stalks OF small gram and corn
and exhsustlng the juices. inJu!e and at last,
destroy the plant. Drought is highly favora-
bic to their propagation and growth, while the
plant is Of course less able, at such time, to re
sist their attacks"

APPALLING.

At a temperance meeting held recently in
Hartford Ct, the following astonishing state.
ment was made:
Mr.. Haws remarked, that in addition to the
numerous premature deaths Occasioncd indirect
" by the traffic in intoxicating drinks the cit.
Gems of Hartford had been called, within the last
ten years, to follow to the grave, no less than
one hundred and forty six persons, who died from
Deerium Tlemens, all clear and decided cases ;
nearly fifteen annually.
Then, we say that large proportion ofthem
must have been ssclear snd decided cases. ofmai-
treatment by the physicians, that is, ifthere was
medical attendance. Perhaps, however it was
deemed best for the public to LET THEM ALL DIE.

c.prun. or FORTY SIX 1NDlANs.

The steam boat Charleston, Capt. Love, ar.
rived at this port yesterday afternoon, from Fort
Mellon, via Black Greek having on board 1t.
Hanson, ofthe U. s. Army, with several U. s.
soldiers, who had in charge 46 Indians, consist
ing of men, women AMI children. captured at
Fort Mellon on the 7th inst. The Indians, it
appears, had come in to receive the rations which
it had been the practice to distribute among them,
when Lieut.. H., being in possession of informa.
ton, (receiveI by express the dav previous, }
respecting the massacre of Col. Harney's detach.
ment, promptly determined to mako them pris
oners. In accomplishing this, however, it be-
came necessary to shoot two of the Indians, who
made an attempt to escape. The Charleston
proceeded to Castle Pinckney, where the Indians
will doubtless be imprisoned until orders can be
received as to their final destination.

LIVING AHEAD OF MEANS.

As warning on humber scale, we copy
the following announcement:
The Philadelphia Savings Institution has
failed. The Immediate cause of the failure is
said to be an extensive issue of certificates in
the form of post notes, which, as they reached
maturity, the company were unable to re.
deem.
Here the poor who had deposited their little
surplus as resource against the evil day, are
made to suffer because the Directors of the
Institution chose to make An 'opera:ion" be.
yond their resources, and borrow from next
year. The deuce is, that when we borrow
from next year, we think it will never come.
When surefooted time brings it round, how
ever, we find it as inexorable as the last-the
load which we have improvidently thrown upon
It must be discharged. Borrowers are aston
ished to find too, that it has its own cares, ne
cessities and expenses, quite as much as it
can bear, beside those which they had shifted
upon it from other times, and in the attempt
to conquer the multiplied difficulties, they fail
which like death, is a cure-all for those who
can no longer hold up their heads.

INTERESTING TO RICE PLANTERS.

A sample of Maranham Rice, of which 4oo
casks have lately been imported into Havana is

with 900 tierces rice.
Our planters must look for falling prices next

FROM MEXICO.

News has been received at New Orleans
from the city of Mexico to the l4th ultmo, in.
elusive. The greatest tranquility prevailed
throughout the Republic. Santa Ana was
still the President adinter,na, and, though in a
precarious state of health, exercising the func.
,tions of his Office with increasing applause and
success. Bustamente was moInentarily ex-
pected in the capital. The expedition to
Tampico being crowned with such entire sue
Cess, his return was every where greeted with
the most enthusiastic demonstrations of affec.
ton and regard. According to the Diario del
Gobierno, Santa Ana and he are to effect the
most salutary reform in the Constitution, 10 do
away with the cause of the late disastrous dis.
affection, and concilate all parties.
All the Federal!sts who gave themselves up
to the disposal of the Government are to retire
TO their farms, and never to reside in a city,
or near tortific alton, under pain of death.
Urea was sentenced by Santa Ana to be
banshed for six years. but while on his way to
Vera Cruz for embarkation, he made his es-
cape at Perote on the 30th ult. and has not
have heard ofs'nce.
Lenus was chased out of Monterey by Ca
nalzo he and his brother fled to Monclavo.

SUCCESSIVE Csors OF SILK,-Messrs. r. & H.
Carson. of Lancaster, Pa, in letter to the edi
tor of the Journal of the American Silk Society,
say: I'VE are now feeding large quantity Of
worms and will continue to hatch out and feed
successive crops during the season; have also
hatched out parcel of worms which were pre-.
servedin an ice house since 1887, and the worms
appear quite vigorous and healthy, and do not
differ in any respect from those treated in the
usual way. The vitality of the silk worm con-
tinuing So long is matter Of great importance,
and was an accidental discovery. We are sorry
we did not reserve portion Of them in order to
ascertain how long their vitality could be pre-
served."
Here is fact in corroboration Of several others
which have been published, showing that silk
worm eggs may be preserved in an ice.house thro'
summer without loosing their vitality; and no
one doubts that when thus preserved they will
hatch at any time when properly exposed to a
sufficient degree ofwarmth. We see no good
reason then to doubt that five six full crops of
silk may be made in this climate in sing 9 sea-
son. each of which is equal to q cotton crop by
the same hands a: present prizes.

TERRIBLE TORNADO.

A tornado passed through part Of Con-
necticut on Wednesday afternoon, which was
terrific in is operation. The first account we
have of it is from New Haven, where, at about
noon, it destroyed several buildings, part OF
them brick. The African church was among
the buildings thrown down. At North Haven
several houses were destroyed. Then it pas.
sed over The railroad track, cutting channel
for itself through every thing above the earth's
direct line of travel at this point we have
heard nothing Of its ravages until it arrived at
East Windsor, where it was at P. n. with
undated fury, tearing all before it. Forests
and fruit trees were scattered in all directions,
and buildings torn down, some OF them of
strong construction.
A gentleman, who was in stage at the
time, passing from Ellington to East Windsor.
says he never saw such torrent Of rain as
poured down. Several persons were wMrled
into the air, and good many injured in var
ious ways. A family in the upper part Of
New Haven had just sat down to dinnof in the
basement of small house, when the wind
struck the house aud carried it away, leaving
the family and table untouched, though, we
suppose, not undisturbed. Some buildings
and good deal Of furniture, it is said, have
gone nobody knows where. Hartford and the
other places between that city and New Haven,
on the railroad route escaped but we fear
that the tracks Of the tornado not far off must
have beon one of dreadful devastation. In
character it appears to have resembled thu tor
nado which visited New Brunswick, N. j.
few wears ago. N. Y. Jour. Com.

It is stated in the papers that the President
seeing Mrs. Clinton in crowd at Saratoga
Springs went up to her very politely and offered
her his hand. but that she sternly drew herself
back, and with much appearance of indignation
refused it. The reason which she afterwards as
signed was that Mr.. Van Buren, had villihed her
husband in his life time. 1t is an evidence sfthe
perfect self command of the President that not
the slightest appearance of pain or disappoint'
ment was evinced in his countenance or manner

harbinger of eternal rest. The day before hor
death she declared that she was at peace with
God, and with all mankind, and roady to depart
