ADIscovERY OF THE ARTS.

One of the most important recent discove.
ries is the one applicable to the reprinting Of
books, or reproduction ofengravings. M. Du.
pout, very industrious printer, was seeking
the means of saving the e>expense of stereotyp-
ing. With the assistance of a particular ink
he was already enabled to AVOID the preserva-
ton of the clichcs, which requires many ma
terials, and much place and money, by the
means of The preservation of mere printed
sheet which TYPOGRAPHY afterwards reproduced
whenever it was wanted, but doubling whether
the ink used upon that sheet would retain IN
course of time the same properties, he consul
ted his brother, very intelligent photographer,
and the latter found what neither ventured 20
expect. The new process is applicable not only
to fresh printed sheets, but likewise TO the old.
est books, and which is of far more interest, to
Greek, Chinese, and Hebrew books. II con.
sists in two operations. Over the page OF
engraving of which you want copy you lay
a particular composition. 1t is placed upon
the lithographic stone and pressed, the stone
reproducee, with scrupuous precision, the
original engraving or book. This impression
could not however, serve such as it is 1t IS
itselfcovcred with the same preparation, it may
then print thousands of copies by the ordinary
process of every sort oflithography. Five min.
rutes suffice for both operations. The origlna!
engraving may be restored to the portfolio
which has supplied it, for it has not beeni in the
slightest degree injured the book, thus wholly
reprinted, may undergo binding, and honorably
resume its place in your library. This new
process admits of a reduction Of IS per cent
upon the expenses Of printing and as for en-
craving that which on copper would have cost
IG0O francs will now cost 20 francs! What
consequences will this discovery not yield 1t

Ing, with complete revolution. A man Of the
greatest talent in the art lays claim to priority
in this discovery; as is always the case, when
success has been obtained claims come in.-
The wisdom of the central jury and patent
laws must decide the question. The king,

9TH Of October. 1t will be most splendid
and interesting exhibition Of the productions
of Agriculture and the mechanic arts from all
the most improved parts Of our country. At
the last years fair at least 10000 vis'ters
entered the garden during the exhibition and
contributions for exhibition were received from
$500 persons, each of whom brought an aver

last fairs, ,there were awarded as premiums
one hundred and twenty gold medals, six hun.
dred silver medals, and about fifteen hundred
diplomas-solely at the expense Of the Insti-
tute !; and the number win probably not be
diminished the present year. The Institute

power to put in operation the most massive
machinery which may be brought for exhib''
ton.
During the last meeting Of the legislature
of the state of New York, a resolution was
adopted by meeting composed of most Of
the active members of that body and other
distin guished individuals, requesting the inst'

persons friendly to this important and growing
interest, during the annual fair. Such con.

THE FEVER IN AUGUSTA.

We extract the following sentences from
letter Of DR.. Anthony Of Augusta to the May.
or of that city on the character and origin OF
the fever which has caused 90 great panic
among its citizens.
"As rumor has spread far and wide the
pratuitous fasehood that Yellow Fever and
Contagious epidemic exist in Augusta, it may
not be improper, in order that truth, with its
wholesome bearing may obtain amongst our
friends in Charleston as well as elsewhere, to
state in connexion with tho above, without
resting the truth on its bare announcement,
that so far as have been able. to learn, no
case of Yellow Fever has originated IN Au.
gusta during the whole season; that the dis:
ease by which oar community has been visited
is the same in it's general character with the
fevers which formerly afflicted our city by its
annual recurrence in autum-the same with
that which prevailed in Barnwei District,
South Carolina, the last season, and other dis
tric.s ip Georgia, and elsewhere thatits occur.
renee at this season, after years Of almost un-
paralIe.led health is fairly, and properly attri.
butable to predisposition more or less gener.
al through the country, arising from summer
of unusual heat. followed by the cool easter'y
breezes Of approaching autumn. These caus-
es have introduced fever, the general charac'.
ter of which is primarily, iyacmatory bilious
fever. As the season has progressed, the gen
eral character of the fever has become more
simply inaammatory, or the ordinary febrile
symptoms produced by cold. All these cases
have been found ofeasy control. A modifying
cause has, however, operated with great pow.
er on small portion Of the city, in line Of a
few hundred yards, directly leeward Of the
trash wharf, collection Of putrescent filth
deposited in the river occupying, above water,
a space of a quarter or half an acre. In the
line ofthe easterly and north easterly winds
which prevailed steadily for two or three weeks
over this wharf, considerable number ofcases
were so notified as to render them highly
dangerous and in some instances uncomfortable,
by the superaddition of congestive symptoms.
These cases in order to characterize their dit.
ference are properly denominated "Congestive
cases of bilious fever" This is the ordinary
type of those cases Of bilious fever, which
cause death erlier than the senventh or eightn
day, whenever it prevails.

G0nbl;ag. --Agreeably to the promise we
made last fall, we now revert TO this subject. We
have Stated that the existing law for the proven
lion of gaming. is unconstitutional, and entirely
too severe to be rigdy enforced--tha lis inci,i-
cheney is clearly proved by the fact. that more
gambling is now carried on, secretly, than was
during the time il was licensed by law--that Sc
cre gambling Is dangerous to the peace and safety

.ained, that father, brother son, or partner.
was addicted to this vice. These facts alone, be-
ing sufficiently clear, we are Of opinion thashe
present law should be repealed, and one passed
authorizing the licensing Of certain number OF
gaming houses, under certain restrictions and
subject to strict police regulations By licensing
gaming, large revenue would be raised and
much less immortality would flow from this vice.
We sincerely hope our Legislature will reflect
upon this subject, and come to some action upon
it during the present sesson.--N. 0. T. I'm.
The suppression Of the culpable and ruinous
practice of gambling must be desirable with every
vrtuous and considerate individual in society;
but when it is proposed to legslate on the sub
1Ject not to suppress, but only to limit or restrain
lit, very important considerations are involved
Can the restricting, by law, of gambling estab
lishments to limited number and to fewer hands
remedy the evil even partially? Would not these
fewer establishments monopolisc the business q
the whole, thereby enabling them to pay with
more ease and readiness the advance on the IL
cense? Would not the few thus privileged tc
pursue the practice openly and under the Sanction
oflaw, be capable of doing more harm than the
many now suhject't to that cautious restraint ac
|comPanying the fear Of detection? In which case
would the sufferer be most likely TO inform,
against the author Of his rln-that in which he
was ruined By law, or against law? The latter,
certainly.
But even admitting the practice could be dimi-
nished to some extent, shall we legalize vice to
any extent? Shall we practically affirm the du-
bous question, "Sha we do evil that good may
come Of it," The highest authority furnishes
the answer, "God forbid" We think the vct
had better depend Oh moral influence in toto
than have the sanction Of law IN pari.
