MAKING PRINTERS OUT OF

The bill Of the Senate to provide FOR the
printing and distribution OF school books, in.
troduced by Mr.. Lawrence, Of Logan, hos
the following in its second secton:
SEC 2. II shall be the duty of the Di-
Irec;ors of the Ohio Peniteniary, from time
to time 10 cause TO he printed and bound,
such books and in such numbers as may be
prescribed in pursuance of the foregoing
section of this act, and the same to furnish
TO The Secretary Of State. The said Direc-
tors shall for the purpose of printing and
binding the said books, from time to time,
employ such number Of conyicts in the penn.
tentiary as may be necessary TO perform said
lprin,ing and binding, and shall provide such
presses, types, tools, implements and mates
rails as may be- necessary therefor, in such
manner as they may deem most expadient.
In case suitable persons may not at any time
be found in The Penitentiary, said Directors
shall employ such competent PERSONS as may
be necessary TO instruct convicts so that they
be made competent 10 perform said work,
and in selecting convicls TO be instructed, as
aforesaid, said Directors shall as far as prac-
iicabe seec, persons under 80 years of age,
nnd snch as may have the longest period 10
remain in the Penitentiary; and il at any
time il shall be necessary. such assistants
and mechanics shall be employed TO aid in
1.-The performance of said WORK as may be
deemed most expedient,"
The convicts in the Ohio Penitentary are
thus TO be made Printers by wholesale, and
Isent forth into the world to take Iheir, place
along side OF honest men, and to be editors
and teachers OF others.
Mr. Lawrence is placed on the list as I

SECOND DISPATCH.

Much complaints made in California Of
the neglect Of Congress in not providing lor
the wants Of the people. Among their wants
are mint, pos; Offices, mail routes, land Il
lies, &c.
The recent rains have opened the uppef
rivers, SO small steamers now navigate them
The rains also give the miners in the dry
diggins better chance TO work out the ore.
Many new veins have been discovered; in
fact, the gold stories are very favorable.
The political complexion of the Legisa'
ture is still doubtful; both parties claim the
mSioriiy. Inths opinion of the Alta Cali
'ornian il is Democratic. The election in
Sacramento is yet TO come off, and may
change the aspect.

Feldspar is composed of four oxydes-
silex, alumina or clay, iron and pOlnshi alex
predoIninates. Ofquartz, in all It's varieties,
il is almost the entire element; Of ieldspar,
il is Tie principal; aIuminous or clay soils
conlain frequently twice as mvch Silex Hs
a!nmina; the quantity OF iron and potash in
leIdspnr is small, not often over two or three
per cent.
Ii appears then that sand is composed of
two oxydes or chemical combinations again
eombiued by the same agency. Feldspar or
clay is composed Of four oxydes, also COM
bined bv chemical ainuiry, 70 form a COM
pound siill more complex lhan quartz or sand.
The qUaiIz and leldspar are combined by
mechanical mixture to form rocks aud
soils.
1t hence follows, that in these two Gle
ments of soils, quartz and feldspur, or sand
and clay, are not less than six combinations
Of ultimate principles, or oxygen and metals,
all by chemical affinity, and two comblna>
tions at least of those compounds forming
] thUse two elements. These six chemical
compounds, again compounded by chemical
agency, are then united by mechanical mix

Quartz and feldspar are not only the es-
seniial elements of soils, but also among the
most important materials in the arts Of civili>
zanon. The principal material OF glass is
quartE; that Of porcelain, feldspar. The
presence Of potash, soda, or some alkaline
substance acting as flux, is Indispensable

Mica is compound of oxydes, more COM
pounded than either quartz or feldspar Ii
conlains all The oxydes entering into botn
these minerals, with The addition Of manga~
nese, much used for bleaching salts, (chlo-
ride of lime.) Mica also contains traces of
the siIicaie Of magnesia---,he article used in
the m manuiaclure of EPSON salts and other
chemicals. This silcate, as its name de-
notes, contains slick, or the oxyde ofslicum.
1t has been found by the progress of geology
in large quantities, both in Pennsylvania and
MARYLAND. From it have been made various
chemicals, aud among them epson salts,

twenty five cents pound; thus bringing the
benefits Of geology and chemistry to every
individual in the community--at least to
every man and woman who rides in cdr
riage with yellow pain, and 10 every child
who uses an atlas with colored maps.
Mica is no, an important element in soils,
and in rocks is less abundant than either
quartz OF feldspar. Though not abundant in
rocks, il is one of the three materials Of
granite, and has an important influence in
modifying the character of rocks iD fitting
them both for agricultural and architectural
purposes. 1t gives 10 gneiss and mica slate
both granite formations, facility in being
worked into slabs Of greatly extended sur
face, fitting them for side walks, bridges,
floors, farm enclosures, and numerous oheV
purposes. These two abundant rocks in
granite formations can be readily formed into
slabs Of an extended and smooth surface, by
the use OF the hammer, chisel, and wedge
while most rocks, not containing mica, res
quMe the drill in addition 10 the other instru-
ments named.
4 Good specimens Of mica slate may be
