Convention. We do not believe that he has
the exclusive patent right to that production

he has that reputation and We ask, 10 he the

chievous purposes-,o commit honest Ine'

Election Of Governor.

We have reluctantly TO confess, that We
believe our Candidate for Governor is badly
beaten. Returns from many counties show
an increased Democratic vote, and although
the Wings have also increased, yet the de.
lection in Rutherford has turned the day q.
sainst US. In this county in ls4s The Wing
majority was s26, now it is stated as 300
majority for Reid, being change Of ll26
votes, this was enough 10 defeat us. Still
We hoped something from Democratic oppo'
silien to Free Suffrage, in the East, but this
I'll vanishes into thin air" as we learn that
Information has been received here that Reid
has gained cast Of Raleigh, from 1000 10
1900 votes. This settled the question:
there is no hope for Gov. Manly. We re-
grei his defeat, because it vii give the South
ern Conveniionisls a chance to rejoice. Reid
will be claimed as advocating that measure,
although we have seen no account Of his hav'
ing come out for i, in his speeches. Gov
! Manlys defeat is 10 be attributed princi pa ly
to the prejudice excited against him in the
West, relative to The appoi tment Of Com
missloners TO lay eff The turnpike Road from
Salisbury to the Georgia line. The people
Of Rutherford believed tina, he had acted a
gainst their Interests, and believing SO, they
supported Reid in preie ence to him. Tit
thing 10 done and there is no in cryin,
over tive have only 10 grin and bear it
the best way We can.

S ELECT MIS- CELLANY
PROFESSOR JUSTUs LlEBIG.

The name of Liebig is perhaps more
generally known than that of any other
scientific man; as Professor Of Chemistry
in the Grand Duchy Of Hesse, he has es-
tablished a school Of Chemistry, which has
become a model for all others. Yet, not
withslandIng his present celebrity, when a,
school, according to DR.. Gregory, he was
considered very dull boy, the uninteres,-
ing dry studies of the mode of tuition then
prevalent in Germany being totally insult
ed to his peculiar intellect; the consequence
was, he was generally 'booby," tha, is the
lowest scholar, the unenviable distinction
being only shared with him by another dull
scholar, who accustomed himself 10 write
music instead Of attending to his lessons :
this boy also became distinguished as a
clever musician. it is curious fact, that
being on one occasion reproached by his
schoolmasler for his incapacity, the former
was severely questioned as to what pursuit
he intended to follow through life, "I'II be
a chemist" was the prophetic answer, but,
like Cassandra, he was believed by no one,
and hearty laugh at his expense was the
consequence of this sally.
DR.. Liebig is chiefly indebted for the uni
versatility of his fame to the subjects of which
he has treated; Organic Chemistry has been
that of great portion of his labors; the
dependence of animal and vegetable life on
each other, and the beautiful dispensaion
of Providence by which this has been ef
fec'ed, form the text Of great part of his po-
pular works. To him, the cultivator Of the
soil, and the breeder of cattle, is deeply in
debeG for the lessons in his art given to
him by Liebig he has shown to the grower
of corn how he can produce two ears where
but one grew before, and thus enable him to
meet the demands of an increasing popuIa-
ton, although he cannot add a single foot
to the extent of his land. The medical man
has, indeed also taken advantage of his re-
searches in animal economy, and his more
recent inquiries into the Chemistry Of food,
nay, even the cook may place the latter book
on his shelf. and consult it with great advan-
,age to himself and for those for whom he
prepares his various savory compounds: he
will there learn that
"If flesh employed in food is again to be-
come flesh in the body, if it is to possess
the power Of reproducing itself in its origi
nal condition, none of the constituents Of
raw flesh ought TO be Withdrawn from it
during its preparation for food. If its COM
position be altered any way-if one of the
constituents which belong essentially to its
constitution be removed, a corresponding
variation must take place in the power of
that piece of flesh to re-assume in the living
body the original form and quality on which
its properties in the living organism de-
pend"
The researches Of Liebig have brought to
light a very curious fact, eminently sugges-
tive OF the care bestowed on the provisions

TO MY SISTER IN HEAVEN.
BY QUITS.
Pm thinking now with sadened joy,
Dear Sister mine!
Of days when was but boy,
Of days lang syne;
And unto us twas given,
To smile with JOY at all things bright;
But now thy SOULS in Heaven!
Oh these were days ofjoy and hope,
Dear Sister mine!
When we sported on the sunny slope,
In days lang syne;
With hearts untouched by sorrows sting,
And free from cares dark leaven,
We dreamed not of Deaths dusky wing,
But now thou art in Heaven!
Thy souls in Heaven-and am lone,
Sweet Sister dear.
For that sweet face which on me shonc,
sorrow here;
mourn that form so bright as thine
Should from thy soul be riven!
Thy arms no more shall me entwine,
For thou art now in Heaven!
But long ought not mourn thy loss,
My Sister, love!
For thou art free from earthly dross,
In Heaven above;
Freedom from ills, from care, from strife,
To thy dear self is given;
For none of these disturb the life
Which now thou leadest in Heaven!
Bend on me, from Thy spirit home,
My Sister dear
Thy spirit eyes, while shall roam
In sorrow here;
Until the time shall onward roll
When twill to me be given,
To fly from earth-and when my soul
Shall join thine own in Heaven!

Perhaps no works on chemistry are of
such general application as those Of Pro-
fessor Liebig, nor has any done such uni
versal good by removing the scales Of pre-
Ijudice from the eyes Of those most interest,"
ed in the knowledge of truth. Thus i, has
been acknowledged of late years, that sci
enlifc researches are not so dry and unin-
teres,ing as people were won, to believe
Referring simply to hemistry-what trade,
manufacture, or wha, mechanical art can be
mentioned which has not been benefited by
The truths taught by that science? The
| watch or clock-maker we'll understands the
value OF the knowledge of the expansive
powers Of heat, while engaged in the con-
structure of his delicate machinery. The
baker applies to the chemist TO inquire the
nature Of fermentation that his bread may
be properly leavened. The dyer is, in fact,
a practical chemist, and that Of no mean or
der; and there are, in reality, no callings
or trades, however independent Of science,
in which the knowledge which we have de-
scribed would not be found advantageous.
For much of the useful knowledge on this
subject of late years supplied TO the world,
Baron Liebig deserves credit, nor does he
even rest from his arduous task but still
presses forward with undated vigor, for,
like all true philosophers, he believes ,ha,
great as our scientific knowledge may be, we
have as yet scarcely passed the threshold; ;
and speaking of his work on the Chem
Islry of Food-a work noted for its research
and The care with which it is written-he
expresses his opinion, that it ought only to
be regarded as the mere commencement Of
more compile le,e work on the subject
