Process or WHIrENING PHINTISG PAPER.
Those who are not acquainted with the
manufacture of paper viii scarcely believe that
the paper of which most Of our newspapers
are cornposd is made from the rags Of old cal
leo. bur such Is the case. The rags are first
reduced to a course paste, technically termed
half paste then I'D a suitable vat, from four to
eight pounds Of chloride Of lime, dissolved In
sufficient water TO cover the paste, is poured
on the co'ored mass: it is now acid.Ged with
halra pound Ct sulp1uric acid every pound
Of the chloride Of LIME employed. The mix
ture is then a-iated for q short time by ma
chiuery suited 10 he purpose; when the rags
appear quite white, water is made to flow
through the mass, tIllcoBtiuU.ng the agitation
until all tie time has been washed out Of the
pull, A little free hydrochl0Tic acid added
to Tie last portions Of water would ;en1 more
-IfcCr'y to remove The lime from the pulp,
a8d thereby prevent its turning brown by age.
II most the paper m anutactDriss IN France,
instead cf using chloride Of lime, chloride gas
IS passed through the pulp; this is a better
process It carefully carried out,for as 10 lime
IS used in tine process, none can remain on the
paper S .iedtifc American.

uraE sourHERN PRESIDENT

The following are the comments If the
Y Tribune, the organ Of the Northern Wing
Abolitionism, on the appointment of John p
Gaines Governor of Oregon. We suppose that
the mo party Administrations" will claim the
acknowledgements of the South for this act of
kindncss--thcap appointment of n regular Aboli
tionst to Office, because his constituents refuse
to endorse his Bill to abolish the slave trade
in the District of Columbia This is another
link in the cl,an Southern men should lock to
it,
"Hon. John p. Gaines, of Kentucky,
VIC rejoice TO state, has heen appointed
Governor of Oregon by General Taylor,
and has accepted. He is one Of natures
noblemcn, and was chosen to Congress in
~ 1lO majority in district usually
against us. This year lie has been run
out simply because he reported bill last
winter to abolish the slave trade in the
District Of Columbia, and would not, like
his democratic opponent, go the whole
hog for slavery extension, ut all hazards
and 10 the last extremity. Slavery is
just now in the condition of a sombody
foretold in the Scriptures as "having
great wrath because he knoweth he hath
but short time Or IL, 22.) We
regret that the Wing party has to bear
the consequences of that furry, through
the defeat of such men us Majo~ Gaines,
but the reverse will work out good in the
end. Meantime we thank General Tay-
lor and his Cabinet for their admirable Sc
lection of u Governor for Oregon.

other District, being 2G ,22o, an increase of 49,
90 within teny years. The next highest is St.

cral Districts and Parishes have fallen off We
will venture the assertion that in the next ten
years the population of Pickens District viii,
have greatly increased. For the last several
years there has been considerable immgra-

RAIL ROAD MEETING.

AT meeting in the town Of Hender-
son, on Monday the oath day ofScptcm-
bcr, 1870, composed of the people Of
Henderson county, Kentucky, and of cit
liens Of the city of Evansville and Wander
burg county, Indiana. II. j. Eastin was
appointed Chairman, and ID. Banks, Sec
rotary. The chairman having stated the
object Of the meeting, introduced the
Hon Samuel Hall, President of the Ey-
ansville and Mount Carmel Railroad,
who addressed the meeting. Judge
Lockhart and Mcssrs. Jones, Carpenter
and Inglc, of Evansville, and Col. f. III.
Hopkins, of Henderson, having been call
ed upon, also addressed the meeting.
Whereupon, Hon. A. Dixon moved
the following resolutions, which were Sc,
conded and sustained in 81 cech by l..
w. Powell, Esq and unanimously adop-
tod.
Resolved, That in the opinion Of this
meeting, it is all important to the com
mercial, manufacturing and agricultural
interests of the people of the Western
States, that the Railroad now being con-
structed from the cities of Charleston and
Savannah to the city of Nashville, should
be extended to some point ON the Ohio
river.
Resolved further, That in the opinion of
this meeting, the town Of Henderson is
the most eligible point OIL the Ohio river
for the terminus Of said road First, be-
cause the country over which the road
would pass from Nashville to Henderson
is almost continued level, and the cost
Of construction would be less per mile
than 10 any other pom on the river; and
secondly, because it would bring the ter
minus IF the said road within twelve
miles Of the city of Evansville, Indiana; at
which point the great central canal, from
the Lakes through tho State Of Indiana,
terminates, and which is also the tcrmi-
nus ofthe contemplated Railroad from
Evansville TO Mount Carmel, branching
and terminating at different points on tn,
Lakes, and thus with the aid of the Ohio
river from Henderson TO Evansville, dis
tancc Of only twelve miles, and navigablc
atall stages of the water by the largest
class of steamboats, securing continued
chain of Railroad and canal communica-
tion from the great Lakes in the NORTH
to the cities of Charleston and Savannah
or the shores of the Atlantic in tht
South.
Resolred further, That the citizens o
South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kcl
lucky and Indiana have a common inter
est in the construction Of the proposcc
road, and that they be respectfully invi
It'd to cooperate with us in procuring
from the Legislatures of Kentucky ant

FLORIDA ELECTIONS.

In this State there were five Senatorial
vacancies TO fill. In those Districts the
Wings had four; the Democrats one.
The result of this election is gain for
the latter of three, thus just reversing the
figures. This county (Leon) Columbia
and Nassau have put Democrats in the
places of Wings, and as the matter now
stands, VIC have one majority in the Sen
ate, instead of five against us as at the
