Curtis gave q some what detailed de rPtlol

did not hesitate TO call that artist the greatest
since the great Of the Italian prime. The 1gilsh

is not TO return for we can never worship the
again--it must be to press forward. To speak ex-
actly, the new work Of Art must be further de-
velopment Of the Christian sentiment. For If the
doctrine OF the discourse was true, and that SEN
ment IS one day 20 rule the world IL must needs
found an Art as glorious The essential spirit OF
Christianity has never yet permeated the world.
Italian Art represented the elimination OF pecu-
liar and partial view Of that spirit. Have the
Lion and the Lamb yet lain down together Pos
sby it shall be the next work of Art to palnttha
repose.
In conclusion Mr.. Curtis remarked that the view
of Art thus taken, was the intellectual, the scien-
tific view, but that the true and highest success
of any artistic work was the satisfaction OF the
sense of beauty This is independent Of any IN
tellectual relations. If we could discover tina the
statues of the Venus and Of the Apollo were OF
another age and Of another meaning than we sup
pose it could not affect their influence as works
of Art So Raphael and the artists did not paint
to illustrate principle but to satisfy love and
instinct of beauty in themselves. Bat this pure

rock Sometimes the Emery forms almost a sohd
mass several yards in length and oreadtn one
Of these places, opened for the purpose OF eA,

all the rock taken out is Emery; the spaces be-
tween the blocks are filled with an earth higniy

PREsERvATIyE INFLUENCE OF CHLOROFORM
NJ Augendre, assayer in the mint, at Constan
tinople has written TO the French Academy with
a view to point out a new property OF choroform,
which might be turned TO valuable account under
certain circumstances as an antseptic Although
ether presents many analogous relations TO chic
reform. it entirely differs from it to this last
named property, for piece of beef or other flesh
placed In phial, in which few drops of ether
had been poured putreies within a few days;
while the same flesh suspended in a phial, in
which few drops OF chlOroform had been placed,
remains perfectly sweet and untsinted; l2OOth
part of chloroform is sufficient to preserve AMI
nal substances from putretscton for an indefinite
length Of time. NJ. Augendre has also succeeded
in preserving vegetables, suth as bananas &c. for
long time by the same means.
NJ Augendre is OF opinion that the action OF the
chlorofornl in all the cases is purely physical
one. consisting in a contraction Of the FIBRE or OF
the paripchyma, which is Immediately induced
a contraction which expels the juices and thus
prevents putrefaction. The author concludes his
communication by stating a fact worthy OF no.
tice that the most powerful antseptlcs we are
acquainted with such as the chlorides of sodium,
zinc and mercury and the chloride of tormyle, are
all chlorine compounds, and that they act on
organized substances without yielding up any oil
their constituent principles to these substances.

ELECTRICIrY-NEW APPLICATIONS.

A late number of the L..adoR Philosophical Ma
eozine describes a new Electrical Machine, in
which gutta percha, owing to its highly electrical
properties, affords the means OF producing In
very simple manner an amount OF electricity as
great as that of the common electrical machine.
The machine. as improved, consists of a wooden
frame some eighteen inches HIGH which carries
two wooden rollers Of equal diameter TO the
axle of one Of which a handle is attached by
which it can be rotated. Around the rollers, aud
fitting them tightly, is passed band oil gutta
perchH about four inches in width-the rubbers
are tour brushes Of bristles, and are placed out
side the band and opposite the axis OF each roller
double CONDUCTOR connected by brass rod pass
ipg over the top Of the machine is applied similar
in form the conductor of the plate machine.
When the handle of the machine is turned, caus'
ing the eutta perchs band to move at moderate
velocity an abundant supply OF electricity Is ex.
cited. The electricity given Oft appears to be OF
higher intensity, and understandable states OF the
weather nearly as much in quantity as that OF an
ordinary plate glass machine.
FIRST IDEA OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
Since the success of the Magnetic Telegraph,
various claimants have come forward 70 contest the
honor of the discovery Of the original idea. BY
paragraph in the London Philosophical Journal,
trans ated FROM a German work by Schwenter, and
published in 1896 it will appear that the crude
idea of the electric telegraph was entertained
quotes from previous author; .
How two people might communicate with
each other at a distance by means oil Magnetic
Needle: If Caudius were at Paris and Johannes
at Rome and one wished TO carry some ln'orma'
ton to the other, each must be provided with
Magnetic Needle so strongly touched with the mag
net, that it may be able to move the other, from
Rome to Paris Now, suppose that Johannes and
Claudius have each a compass divided into an al
nbabet according TO the Number of the letters, and
always communicated with each other at six
O'Clock in the evening; them latter the needle had
turned 81 times from the sign which Claudius had
given to Johannes) II Claudlus wished 70 say 70
Johannes, come to me- he might make his nee
die stand still, or move till it come to c, then to o.
then to NJ, and so forth. IT. now, the needle OF
johannes compass moved at the same time to the
same letters, be could easily write down the
words of Caudius and understand bis meaning
that magnet of such power could be found IN
the world"

THE OUTLAW WILL CASE.

The Outlaw Will Case was taken up in Wake
Superior Court on Thursday last, and occupied the
time of the Court until the adjournment, Saturday
night ut twelve o'clock. This case, well from the
of property stake the strong array of e
gal talent either side, excited general attention
and the Court House crowded from the COM
mencement of the trial until its close.
Some twenty thirty witnesses were examined
and cross-examined, and the Counsel did not COM
mence their arguments until Saturday morning. Mr..
Moore spoke first in favor of the will, and fol-
lowed by Mr.. G. w. Haywood on the side.
Mr.. Busbee then spoke against the validity of the
will, and was followed bv Mr.. Badger on the same
side; and Mr.. Miller concluded in behalf of the will
Mr.. William H. Haywood, Jr. who appeared against
the will with Messrs. Badger and Busbee, put the
the Jury, stating in the what the de-
PENDANTS expected to prove.
At late hour on Saturday night, Judge Ellis sum-
med up the evidence and the arguments and deiv-
cred his charge to the Jury. His charge remark
able for its cearness and the compact in which
he recapitulated the evidence and arguments. The
Jury then retired, and not being able agree, at
twelve o'clock Saturday night the Judge discharg
ed them.
We heard all the evidence and the arguments, but
deem it duty, under the circumstances, not to
repeat them to readers. new trial will no doubt
be had at the ensuing June Court and any statement
of the facts in the might prejudice the public
mind against one side or other.
1t will be seen, by reference to the order in another
column, that extra Term of the Superior Court is
to be held in this place the third Monday in June
next. There thirty the civil docket,
we understand, which not reached at the late
Term.
We learn that Judge Ellis, upon application, re-
duced the term of Joshua Hintons imprisonment from
eighteen to fifteen months. ....-

THE PLANK ROAD.

The Peoples Press, printed at Salem, makes the
following suggestion in relation to the Fayetteville
Plank Road:
.We would respectfully suggest the stockholders
in the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road, the
propriety of extending the Road this place, in
der afford better facilities for transportation
community who have had much commercial inter-
course with Fayetteville any other village and Sec
ton of country, commanding the same amount of
trade We have no doubt it would be to the interest
of the stockholders in general thus to extend the
road. es ..s.s-ss.7
Fayetteville has enjoyed the benefits arising from
our Northern trade number of years, and should
be particularly interested in this matter, taking into
consideration other schemes of Internal Improvement
in this State and in Virginia which may in the course
of time, divert the channel of trade"

'THE BoDY OF Col. MoTz FOUND. The body Of
Col. Andrew Motz was found, last Sunday Evening
(3Oth) ia the South Fork of the Catawba, about

bridge, over the Creek which he had cross, to-
reach home. The body was found by Messrs Hous-

manner.
It truly gratifying amid the tears of the rela-
tons and friends of the late COL Motz to hear that
his body found, and that his remains were placed
where his aectionate relatives could visit them when
they desire. In the death of COL Moiz, this
munity has lost an intelligent, industrious, and high

papers OF that State TO be " unconstitutional, disgrace

abstract OF the debate in the Pennsylvania Senate,
with the vote rePealng the single section which pro-
hl0ts the use OF the State prisons for the safe-keep-
Ing OF the fugitive slaves. This is favorable action
as far as 1t goes. That the whole of the unjust Sec
tons were not repealed is owing TO the unanimous
vote, IN the negative, of the Wing members who con-
sttute the majority of the Pennsylvania Senate. The
Harrisburg Keystone (DemocraLic) saws that in
January large majority of the Legislature were in
favor OF repeating the whoie law of l94O-but that
the change of action has been wrought by execu-
tive interference, to screen Gov. Johnston from the
