Columbus Democrat. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 18??-18??, 1849-03-17
Rail Roads and Free Trade.

The Louisville Democrat says: Kentucky
Is horse and mule producing country.
and these animals are sent thence to the north.
to the east, and 10 the south. When New
York and New England entered vigorously
upoh rsiIroad-making, the Kentucky hor.s
dealers thought that these two markets would
be lost 10 them; and men more learned in the
theory and principles Of trade than shey nigh,
have though, so TOO. But, behold the re.
suit Of free in,ercommunicalion and OF free
trade! New England aud New York, though
hooped almost with iron rails, and where
ihree-lourths Of the travelling done on land
IS done IN carriages drasged-no, no, drag.
gej, drawn-by the iron horse, ars not only
markets for kentucky horses and mules bu,
two OF the best markets 10 which they eau
be taken.
Now, how does ell this happen' In tho
pla.nest aud most ineligible manner. The
railroads stimulate everything into activity
They give employment, they make trade, and
they furnish facilities for carrying il on; they
create capital by making demand for lab.i,
fhey make wealth, and the wealth enables il,
possessors 10 purchase largely Of what is
brought to them from abroad, which they do
not produce az home, and which they need.
So that these iron roads, By their dIec, and
their indirect influence ia The commercial
world, enable many persons to purchase hor-
ses, who, but Tor them, could no.; and pur-
chase them, perhaps, without very well un.
derstaudjng, in some cases. how it is that they
are so much better able to DO so now than be-
fore the era Of railroads.
Columbus Democrat. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 18??-18??, 1849-03-17

DANoNps, &c.-A Paris paper quoted
by the Louisiana Courier, says that a dia.
mond Of the first water, and Of perfect crys-
Utilization, and weighing l0i carats, has been
found recently al Borneo, which the Sultan
appropriated 10 himself, giving to the finder
a small SUN IN silver This was done in the
usual "your purse or your liie,' style so IA.
m.Iiar 10 Eastern despots. The finder re-
ceived very significant message, which, al
loving for little enthusiasm, meant plainly
the diamond or your life.
The English army has recently captured
famous diamond at Lahore, known by the
name Of koh--Hoor--said to be the largest
and most precious in the world; aud hopo
is expressed BY the Delhi G5zerc, that this
Jewel will be carried to England and worn
by Der Majesty Queen Victoria. It's likely
that il viii be taken to England, but we doubt
whether her Majesty will wear a diamond ac-
CURED by such questionable means. Atheist
it is but plumber
The dilmond found at Lahore is tho "a
nous one, probably, that belonged formerly
to the Great Mogul; and lift is, then il is the
most valuable stone known. lis weight is
900 carats; it is half the size Of a hens egg,
and II must be worth some millions Of dollars,
computing its value after the manner in
which the price Of diamonds is ascertaned.
There is or was diamond belonging to
the crown jewels Of Russia that weighed 100
carals, and cost 100000 sterIing-nearly
half million Of dollars. And the famous
Pin diamond was sold for the same sum.
Diamonds are Of nearly all colors. The
blue aud black are the most esteemed, and
are the rarest. The cutting Of them is ex
peusiye. The emitting oflho Pit, or some
Other magnificent stone, cost $4,000.
Sir Isaac Newton ~as tho first person, NO
believe, who expressed the opinion that the
damo1i was comblstible, and the opinion,
afterwards demonstrated to be true by actual
! experiment, was at the time il was announced,
contrary to all pre-exsting theory aud expe-
rience, and as proof, therefore, if proof were
needed, Of the unequalled mental powers Of
/ that great man, aud also Of his great scientific
at,ainmen&; for then tie combusti5iliiy ofthe
diamond wsy thing Of which no man had
/ yet dreamed Of in lis philosophy. 1t was
though, to be not only indeslrucible by fire,
but indeslucuble to any operation Of the ee
mcnls. 1t was known to be Tangible, but
was otherwise believed to be beyond the reach
Of all known dissoyens. Chemistry showed
/ lhatlhis ins0lubie, Understandable, adaman-
line substance, was in its nature just as com
bu.libIe as charcoal, requiring only higher
degree oiheal TO consume it-six thousand
degrees of Fahrenheit we believe; and that
exposed to thar temperature it disappeared,
leaving no race bchiad.
