OFFER EXTRAORDINARILY

rMvFir ,hieh position which SARTAIN'S
MAGAZINE has assumed in regard
"a ;ss literary character, has, we believe,
never been questioned. No American, and no
European magazine has ever arraycd In It's

butors. Minds Of the highest order hnve,
from the first, been employed 70 write for ~.
Withp view, however, TO draw fcrth, for the
use OF their reader, priicles OF shll greater
value, the proprietors have determined, In an
dition 10 he present outlay for literary con-
tributions, 10 offer the sum OF a,a
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS,
for ton Prize Articles; to be published
monthly till the series is completed. hlANt
This offer is entirely different from the
usual schemes bearing the same name.-
Those schemes generally, propose an appa-
rently high price for few stories, without
putting any limit upon the length, and claim
ing all that do not gain prize. Thus they
often, under the appearance OF liberality,
are only lotteries to secure q large amount 81
matter at q small price. Thus, also. their
proprietors fiji out their periodicals from

length, the author who will offer the Longest
story, being pretty sure to gain the prize. In
our plan, on the contrary, the writer's are lin.
tied as to space, no article being accepted
which exceeds very moderate length, We
want the BEST articles, not the longest
Moreover, all the pieces which do not gain
a prize are to be returned to the authors, un.

MIR. SPEAKER McRAE.

This gentleman nop contends, that. in The ad
mission Of California, Congress violated "iour
distinct provisions Of the Constitution !"
We find in The Mississippian, June 81, 1850,
an article on the address Of the Nashville Con-
venton. from which We append an extract
That address, as our readers know, was not
sanctioned by all the members Of the conyen.
ton. Let the Mississppian state the reason.
"The material difference Of opinion was on
the Constitutional rights Of Congress 10 admit
California and VI had a proposition Of Mr..
NcRde been agreed 10, rhich modified his por.
ton of the address, II ,Oould haze bsen signed BY
every member of The Convention %
No one can believe that the proposed mOdif
cation did not wholly change that portion OF the
address, and acknowledge the constitutional right
of Congress to admit California, as that would
have been the only possible mode Of securing the
assent Of those who believed in the existence oil
the right. And we need bar y say that Col.
McRae believed such right to exist, or he would
not have offered such an amendment.

(r- The following method Of obtaining cool
WAFER has been found to work well, and those
who cannot ready procure ice should give it a
trial:
To MAKE WATER Cool YoR SUMNER Let
the jar, pitcher, or vessel used for water, be sur
rounded with one or more folds Of coarse celton,
to be constantly wet. The evaporation of the
water will carry off the heat from the inside, and
