MISCELLANEOUS.

Carrying Concealed Wearons.--We
have omitted 10 mention that his Honor
Judge Tracey, at the late term Of the Su.
perior Court. sentenced to the Penitenia.
ry, George r. Thompson and Robt. Pres.
ton, the first for 8 aud the latter for years.
The offences for which the prisoners were
tried and conFicted, were ASSAULT and Bal.
terry, apith intent to Murder.
Our object in now adverling 10 the cir
cumsiance is, TO express the qualification
with which the remarks Of tho judge ac-
companying the sentence upon these un-
fortunate individuals; were received by
The large assembly present. The structures
ofthe Judge, upon the baneful and unman-
ly habit Of carrying concealed deadly wea-
pons, were exceedingly pertinent, aud fe-
licitously expressed. He siigmelized the
habit as a co,0ardly and detestable one.
He rem arked, that no honest, sober, brave
man had any need ofsuch weapons in any
community, however barbaroDs and un-
civilized, much less here. where he lives
under the egis of the laws. The frequent
occurrence Of these crimes at the South,
so much more common at The South than
at the North, was attributable measurably
TO the sickly sympa'hies of Juries. and the
want OF 6rmness in the Courts. The state
of society was depicted as most wretched
and unsafe, when young men we're in the
daily habit of armins themselves with as
much non chalance as they would put on
an article Of dress; every morning, when
they don their clothes, Of buckling on
dirk knife; thus weakening that natural
horrer of shedding blood, which proves the
surest guaranty of mutual safely; familiar
izius the weak but impetous young man
with blood, creating in him morbid ap-
petite, preparing him 10 cut the throat Of
his friend, ON every little freak of temper,
and poluting his conscience, and subject
ing it to The annoyance OF the worm that
never dies, the fire that is never quenched.
Judge Tracy has no sympathy for the
carriers Of dirk knives and pistols-they
must expect no forbearance at his hands.
He looks upon them as nuisances to soci-
ETY.. as.mad dogs, who should be sol rid Of,
or shut up.
We repeat, that his remarks were 10 liIe
point, aud met with the concurrence and
commentator Of the large assembly pre-.
sent. We exceedingly regret, that they
were delivered exlemporaneously; they
should have been written out, and publish
ed for the benefit OF this, and every other
community, where this pernicious habit Of
carving concealed weapons PREVAILS

LETTER OF Mr.. ELLswoRTu-BoMMER's
PATENT.
We invite the attention of the readers Of
The CuI,iva,nr to the annexed letter Of The
Hon. Mr.. Ellsworth, chief of the Patent
office at Washington, on the subject of pa
tents. and the claims Of Mr.. BONNER in
particular. There is no subject in The
whole range of agriculture. of more inter-
est 10 the farmer, than that of manures;
and any improvement in its manufacture,
by which its quantity and quality may be
increased, will be received by them with
favor. Tha, the manures made iD the way
recommended by Mr.. BONNER, or accord
ing to the patent claimed by him, arc Of
superior quality, no one acquainted with
that method can doubt. But it, as MIR.
Ellsworth seems inclined to suppose, it is
only the French method. with some un-
important additions, so far as the making
of the. manure, or its quality is concerned,
that method should be generally known,
that all may avail themselves Off advan-
tages, and we thank Mr.. Ellsworth for
enabling US 10 give the specifications a
place in the Cultivator. We have given
the large pamphlet, jus, published by Mr..
Bommer, land containing an ample account
of his method and its advantages, copy
of which he has kindly placed in our
hands, an attentive perusal, and can
safely say there are few, If any, publica-
tons on the subjectthere discussed, what
ever may be their pretensions, which COM
bine such mass of practical instruction
on the preparation and use of manure
or the iesaliryof the patent under which
heis acting, we do mol expressan opinion;
but we know lha, the method used by him,
and described in The pamphlet, a copy of
which is furnished every purchaser ot
right, willsmake manure in any quantity,
and Of The hes. quality for almost every
kind of cultivated crop. Of the French
method. as described in The specifications,
we are not competent to judge, having

Destructive Confagration.-Great loss

Cotton Press, discovered fire in The room

Que of them attempted TO extinsuish it by
threshing il with stick, while the other
ran for bucket Of water, but the fire ma
king such quick progress, he was compel
led 10 abapdon the room. The flames in
a few minutes ascended TO the cupalo and
extended under tue roof to the adjoining
rooms. where large number of bales of
cotton were slowed which were almost en-
tircly isnited. In consequence Of The i'm
rnense heat o such a mass Of combustible
matter, ,and tie length of time which elaps.
cd before the engines could possibly reach
there. The fire communicated through the
walls to the upper centrewing, aud exten.
ded on the front as far as The waP which
divides the front from the side building.
Through the exertions Of the fire depart
ment the FIRE was confined to these limits,
although The heat was at times SO intense,
as to almosePreclnde the using ofthe pipes

Der of bates of cotton consumed is estimat-
ed a, $500, viz. 4,550 in The wing, 1900
in The main building, ,and $500 in the front.
The loss Of which estimated. al $40 per
oale, would be S340,OO0. TIE damage
done 10 the building could possibly be re-
paired for S25, 900, and the engine and Two
screws for $1,000 more, making the total

calculation S375, 900, which we understand
is fully covered by insurance; the cotton
