Important Discovery.

At the last meeting of the Horticultural
Society, London, various dried vegetables,
such as peas, haricot beans, Brussels sprouts,
carrots, turnips DC, were exhibited from
Peyrusset, Molter & Co., of Paris These
were stated to have been dried by pro-
cess peculiar to Dir. Gannal, the celebrated
embalmer of animal substances. This pro-
cess is understood briefly to consist in di-
viding the large vegetables into pieces, and
placing them in apparatus into which dried
air is driven, until they have parted with
all their water, and have become perfectly
dry. In this condition they may be pre-
served for any length of time, and it is said
that their flavor is not at all interfered with,
inasmuch as nothing is taken from them
except the water they contained, and that,
after they are cooked, they are just as good
as when fresh gathered. If these facts,
therefore, are borne out by experience, the
discovery is very important one, even as
regards vegetables, more especially to ship
owners, for they can be furnished in this
state in quantity, and at very cheap rate;
but in addition to vegetables, fruits, such
as apples, pears, apricots, DC, and even
flowers, may be dried and preserved by
the same process, and, owing TO the rapid
ty with which the drying is conducted, the
latter retain their natural colors, almost as
brightly as when first obtained from the
garden In confirmation of this, several
dried specimens were shown to the meeting;
and it was stated that others would be
present at the great exhibition in Hyde
Park, when it is hoped that additional in
formation viii be furnished Oh the subject.

We received last night papers from
Texas to the Sth inst.
The Brazos river, lately so high, has
now. fallen entirely within its own
banks. Many plantations were over
flowed, some TO the depth of three or
four feet. All these have TO be replan-
ted. They may make good crops of
cotton vet.
The Victoria Advocate OF the 2ith
ult. states that some three weeks since
two persons were killed By Indians, a
bout three miles below San Patricio.
There We're four persons in the party
surprised and attacked by the Sayages
two Americans and two Mexicans,
on their 80 the Ras, r.s,.sr se, .,,s--
chase stock. One american and one
Mexican fell at the lst fire of the Indians,
pierced with arrows, and the other
two of the party were wounded at the
same time, but not so badly but that
they were able to make such resistance
as to put the savages TO flight.
Only four Indians were seen, bat il
is supposed that there were about fif-
teen in the party. One of them ventu-
red boldly into the town, and succeed
ed in capturing valuable horse belong
ing to Mr.. Carrican. Mr.. c. attempt
ed to repel the intruder by discharging
a ''fve shooter" at him, but unfortu-
nately the cap exploded, and he was
compelled to retreat, the Indian follow
ing him up with shower of arrows
The party SURPRISED, and two ofwhom
were killed, are supposed to be from
Colorado. The American that was
fatally shot, exclaimed as he fell 40,
my poor wife and childrenp' He had
a belt around him containing 81 500 in
gold. The other American also had
$1,000 in gold secreted in the same
way.
The Western Texan obtains the fol-
lowing items of news from Mr.. J. H.
Brown, who arrived lately from Eagle
Pass. A young man, named James
Bartlett, who was on his way to San
Antonio, having in his charge runa-
way negro belonging to his brother,
who lives on Caney, which slave he
had pursued, and succeeded in captu-
ring at Preside Rio Grande, was pur-
sued by Mexican and asSaSSinated a.
bout ten miles this side of the river.
Bartlett was shot through the heart
with rifle ball. The negro returned
to Mexico, and the horse and pistol of
Mr.. b. were taken by the Mexican.
Mr. Brown brought in two runaway
negroes, who had been some time in
Mexico.

yention held in the city Of New Orleans,
for the purpose of determining the route of
the Rail Road from that city to Jackson

construction.
ResOlred, That in the action of aid Con-
vention, we rejoice to see the evidences of
an awakened sense, on the part ofthe Queen
City of the South, to the Importance of in
creased facilities for internal transportation,
and also to the necessity of a more direct
Intercourse with her customers, to promote
her prosperity.
Resolged, That believing said road Will
now certainly be constructed, immediate
steps should be taken by the people resi-
ding in the counties lying between the city
of Jackson and Marshall county, for obtain
ing Charter for the extension of said Rail
Road, SO as to form junction with the
Charleston and Memphis Rail Road
ResolOed, That to the accomplishment of
this great work, concert of action is indis-
pensable; and to effect this desired object,

Cure for a Bellowsed Horse.

Some few weeks since, being overta-
ken by severe thunder storm on my
way home, took refuge undera shelter
where were assembled several gentle
men from the same cause. One of the
gentlemen thus accosted me Why
do you not cure your horse of the bel
lowsp 'For the very reason | cannot,' [
replied.
"Well, stranger, says he, when am
at home cure all such cases, and war
rant them, at ten dollars head; but as
| am long way from home, and your
horse is valuable one, will tell you
how you can cure him efiectualIy in a
few days. In the first place, says be,
give your horse salt in his water for
three mornings in succession; after that
pound up piece of blue stone about
the size of a chinquepin, and mix it
with wet meal; give him the same for
ten consecutive mornings, feeding him
rather lightly for those ten days, and
if he is not well at the end of the ten
days will give you my head.
have tried the remedy, and it has
wrought perfect cure,and now give
it to the readers of the Enquirer that
they may save their horses and their
ten dollars Columbus Enquirer.

Preserving Strawberries.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-If you will not
think it presumption, in a poor forlorn
old maid. to presume to tell the editors
of the Soil of the South, how TO pre-
serve Strawberries Il will give you my
method.
| opened a bottle recently, that had
been bottled eight years, and they were
as sound as when first bottled. Take q
pound of good loaf sugar to pound of
strawberries, dissolve the sugar in as
little water as possible, cook the fruit
about eight minutes; now skim them
out, and boil the syrup eight minutes
longer; now bottle them in strong bot
ties, drive in the cork tight, and seal
them well, and put themin cool place
They will keep for years.-Soa Of the

Pennsylvania's California.

Make a BEGINNING.

The first weed pulled up in the gar
den, the first seed put in the ground,
the first dollar put in the Savings Bank,
and the first mile travelled in a journ-
ey, are all very important things; they
make a beginning-an thereby hope.
a promise, pledge, an assurance is
held out that you are in earnest with
what YOU have undertaken. How
many poor, idle, hesitating, erring
outcast is now creeping and crawling
his way through the world who might
have held up his head and prospered,
if, instead of putting off his resolutions
OF amendment and industry, he had on
ly made beginning. A beginning and
good beginning too. is necessary.
