We have received the Prospectus ofa monthly
Journal, to be published in Charleston, s. C., by
D. X. Whitaker, entitled The Rights Of the
South" Mr.. Whittaker's thorough Identification
with the South, and the strong inducement for the
South to support Southern literature, entitle
him to liberal patronage. We do sincerely hope
that every subscriber to Northern periodicals or
papers will stop. Read Coli. A. Calhoun's letter
to the Editor of the Saturday Courier, Philadel.
plia-look at the ceurse being pursued by the
Dol ar Newspaper-bothp PIE elged too, to be neutral
in politics. Why, the North takes none Of our pa
pers. And, though they be able, from the cheap
ness of labor resulting from their degrading sys-
tenn of slavery, and from the patronage Of the
South, to publish papers little cheaper, is that
little difference worth the poisoning Of the youth
full Southern mind Give the Southern papers all
your patronage, and the South will publish as
cheap as the North. Remember every Northern
paper you take, is like warming the viper i'll your
bosom to sting you to dcafh. ::

TRUE TO THE MARK.

Texas has spoken out. Her first four resolutions
are those offered by Mr.. Calhoun in the U. 8.
Senate, in lS47, and were adopted not only as
matter of assent to the principles declared, but as
a compliment to Mr. Calhoun, whom her Senator
had SO maliciously villiied. A resolution intro
duced, rendering the thanks of Texas to Houston
for his course in the Senate, was lost by more than
two-thirds. Finally, the Legislature appointed 8
delegates to the Southern Convention-four from
each Congressional District This is TEXAS. The
following is the sixth of the series:

think that their forefathers u; hit and left their
bones bleaching Hobkrk's Hill for far less cause

grave Of DeKalb, and think how the gallant Ger
MN forsook his native land, his boyhood's home,
his friends and all, to fight for US. Meshinks that
when the gloom of the night of the first day of
April comes over earth, that the halowed spirit of
the departed patriot German will visit him who
was careless about that days proceedings,-who

STEAM BoILERs--Iinw tn MANAGE THEM.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
makes the following remarks touching the man.
agemcnt Of steam boilers:
Having once owned an engine of fsx.ho"se
power, and having, for weeks together, been
engineer and firemeh myself, |, for the sake Of
convenience, kept the water in the boiler full at
the upper gauge cock, some six inches above the
fire line, and leaving but very small space for
steam The effect found to be as follows
(thc fireman being threatened with discharge,
in case the water did not show at the upper cock
Il was never under any apprehensions that he
would so far forget his duty as to allow the wa
ter to fall to point that was dangerous
On taking up the said boiler, three yeirs af.
forwards, and which had been in use some seven
years previous to my purchase, one of Messrs.
Rush and Mahlenburg's boiler makers called
my attention to it, and taking a pick of some
three pounds weight, with punch point of one
fourth OF an inch, struck the said point trough
the boiler, along the fire line, i'll various places,
expending but one blow, and that not very
hard one, rs, also, through the sheets which were
exposed to the fire. This engine was worked
to its full power, and the steam in the boile.'
kept up to $50 lbs the square inch. men
ton this to show tha' it does not require very
strong iron to withstand the pressure.
What wish to impress upon those who have
the charge Of steam engines is this--keep the
boilers as full OF water as possible-in effect so
full that the water will lot flow over into your
steam cylinders.
BY this plan you not only insure in great
measure against explosion, but what is OF still
greater importance, should an explosion take
place while go filled, the number of square feet
occupied by steam is greatly lessened, and
probably nothing more than mere rent will
take place, water being incompressible.
