A New ARTIcLE.-If all is true that is told in
the following article then is the Rev. Mr. Pepper
lucky man:
The Rev. Mr.. Pepper, a Presbyterian clergyman
of Albany, N. Y. has invented, says the SPRING
field Republican, compound of clay, called Ar
gillo, which resembles in structure and appear
ance, the richest, variegated agates. 1t is to be
used for door knobs, pavements, table tops, and
other ornamental articles 1t surpasses in brillian-
'cy any known variety of marble, and is equally
cheap. The Hartford Wing speaks of it in the fol-
form an idea of its beauty and illimitabIe variety
of color 1t is so hard as to resist any scratch
cept that of crystal or diamond. Already, Mr.
Calhoun has introduced in the Senate a resolution.
which passed instantly, to the effect that all the
floors in the public offices in the Capitol should be
made OF this beautiful material. SI,lOO,OOO has
been offered for the entire patent.

A SINGULAR PLANT. A communication has
been recently made to the London Linn@an So
ciety, covering letter from the northern part of
India, giving an account of plant found there,
which, when chewed, actually destroys the power
of the tongue to appreciate the taste of sugar 1t is
the gymnema sylrestre; nat ord. asclep,adee, and
goes by the name of Indian plant. Two hours after
be appreciated, but the sugar with which it was
sweetened could not be detected. The impression
remains about twentyfour hours, sugar all the while
feeling like sand on the tongue. 1t is suggested
that this may lead to some important physiological
discoveries in regard to the organ Of taste.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

7 Z ( q
All efforts Of the Spiritto get rid 81 the odiam
ofturning the proposed welcome to he volun-
ieers SSom general into political, one-sided az
fair, will prove unavailing. That print may
twist and turn matters a tpeases, YET i cannot
relieve the few choice spirits Of The Locofoco par
~ who engaged at The Court House on Saturday
week, from studied effort 10 make political cap
ital, and purchase up The votes Of the returned
Volunteers, by giving them an invitation to d
Barbecue which II was designed having, at any
rate, and to which the Volunteers would have
been jus, as much invited though they had
never seen the banks of the Rio Grande.
The soldiers are not quito as soft = as these
congregated Soions imlgine, and they might
have spared this expenditure ofpatrio,ism, in the
shape Of Barbecue invitation. 2 If they had
reflected on the composition Of the Jefferson Vol
unteers.
We suppose the result will be, thatsuch Of tho
Volunteers as are Of the Democratic faith will
continue TO be 50. Such as are Wings can scarce
ly be wheedled into The support Of the cass tick
ct by good dinner andfits accompaniment
They may have had rough fare in Mexico, but
they will be found to have no stomachs for bats
thrown out to catch gudgeons.
As to the insinuation Of treason, for sup
posed 'snecring allnsion' TO the gentleman invi-
ted 10 follow Mr.. Bedingcr in an address to tho
volunteers. we can only say that those who arc
alwaysready 10 find unworthy motives" for 9TH
crs, are certain to be actuated by such motives
themselves. The inuendo is as false as il is RI
diculous, and no man will more readily see
through the driit Of Il than the Wing friend
himself The efforts Of the adversary % ava
ken jealousics among Wings are little too sha.-
low for effect.
