STEAM GRAIN EIEvAToR.--Messrs. G od-
ard and Hovey, of A Albany have just compile
ted floating elevator for the purpose of
unloading and loading grain. The elevator
is so arranged that it will not only measure
grain from one boat and deliver it on anoth-
er, and give the accurate quantity, but will
also receive it from boat and deliver it into
the first second and third stories of any build
ing, at a very cheap rate. 1t will handle
$4,000 bushels of grain per hour; will sepe-
rate the cobs from corn or other large sub
stance, mist alwaysin grain, and will also
screen and blow it, and give the exact
weight.

WAX SEALS ON LETTERS. Post
master General has again cautioned the
public against the use of wax seals on letters
which are to be transmitted across the 18TH
mus, either to or from the Pacific. The
postmaster at San Francisco reports, under
date of the 18th ult, that the last mail from
New York contained large number ol
letters thus sealed, which, owing to the
melting of the wax, it was impossible to
seperate without injury to portion of them.
Similar complaints have been received from
other quarters, and particularly from Eng
tand, in respect to letters sent sealed in this
manner from California.

MADEIRA WINE.-Most disastrous ac-
counts are received ofthe future prospects
of Madeira 1t seems not improbably that
the celebrated wine of Madeira will be a
matter of history. A blight of some sort
has entirely destroyed the vintage for this
year, and seems likely to destroy the vines
themselves. 1t Itappears in the shape of a
thick white powder, which entirely covers
the clusters of grapes. The inhabitants
have memoriOlized the Portuguese Govern
ment to be permitted to cultivate tobacco.

POWER OF CREATION The experiments
made by Professor Crosse of England, of pro-
ducing insect life from elements free from
all ova, have given rise to the fallacious idea
that man possesses the faculty of creation
Whatever the cause of life, electricity, in
itself, or in combination with the gasses--
man has no power OF creation In himself;
however he may be made the medium of life,
or the agent a ting for higher power. AS
a creature, whatever man may do, or seem to
cause, he is but an instrument of power, to
carry out the designs of creation. He com
bincs, he analyses, he executes, but he orig
mates nothing, however wonderfully he may
achieve great results by complicated adap-
tion of means to ends, Professor Crosse is
ditFident and meek disciple of science, who
makes no pretentons to the creative facul-
ty; but insists only on the principle of spon-
taneous creation; yet, as the power of man
is, now-a-days, too often glorifed, instead of
the power Of fGod, too much caution cannot
be used, in confoundlng one with the other
Immense and marvellous as are the powers Of
the human faculties, under the lever of ge-
MUS, still humility is the only door through
which even genius can pass from the dark
ness of ignorance into the full blaze and
dazzling glare of science, as she reveals ma
turc to the ustonishcd meditation of philos-
ophy.

wards of eighty of the U. s. troops, recent
ly sent out, died on the Isthmns and Golden

ONO FOR ScoTT.-The editor of the Pqua
Register has conversed with an intelligent
gentleman, who has travelled through twen-
ty-three counties in this State within the
past six or seven weeks. He was travelling
on business which required him to spend
from one to TIVE days in each county. From
what information he could gather in this trip
he is entirely satisfied that the State will go
for Scott. Numbers are found everywhere,
who never voted a Whig ticket in their lives,
now warmly enlisted in support OF Old Chip

ORIGIN OF WHEAT. most curious and
able dissertation upon the origin of wheat
completely justies the views we have held;
for, although it does not show that oats
change, into rye, as many believe, and offers
no support to some other speculations of the
same kind, nevertheless it demonstrates, be-
yond all further question, that wheat is itself
transmutation of kind of wild grass. NJ.
Esprit, Fabre, of Agde, well known to botan-
lists an acute observer and patient expert
mentalist, has made the discovery, which
has been introduced to public notice by Pro-
fcssor Dunal, Of Montpelier Gardeners

SINGULAR DELUsIoNs-KoSSuh King Of
America.-Mr. Kendall, in his last letter to
the Picayune, from Paris, tells the following
very singular story:-I will close this letter
by mentioning the fact that a most unac-
countahle whim, if whim it can be called has
recently entered into the heads of the lower
classes in Posens Gplicia, aud has even
spread into some parts of Bohemia and Hun
gary, if all accounts be true. According to
the papers--you may have already seen the
report-it would seem that story had got
out and that it flew abroad with the greatest
rapidity, to the effect that the richest of all
the Rothschilds was under sentence of death,
and that his only chance of saving his life
was through themeans of lottery. For this
purpose he offered what our lottery ticket
yeuders would call Il brilliant scheme, the
main features of which were as follows:-
His entire property was to be divided In
sums of 5000 florins, and any and all who
choose to take ticket 10 the lottery, gratis,
of course, would certainly draw that amount
in yellow god, save one person only! In
plain terms, every ticket placed in an i'm
mcnse wheel, except one, had number up
on it,and was to draw aprze OF 5000 aorins;
but the holder of the only blank was to offer
his head to the chopping knife instead of
Rothschid, who transferred the honor.
Notwithstanding the risk of drawing the
blank, it is positively asserted that the rush
for tickets to many of the towns and villages
has been immense. The magistrates, as
well as the military authorities, have had
the greatest difficulty in convincing the
poor farmers and peasants that there is no
such lottery in existance, and thousands have
been sent away disappointed, because they
have been deprived oftho chance of drawing
5000 horins, at the triaing risk ofgracing
an executioncr's block. This is an age of
progress and advancement. In the same
section where the above strange excitement
has prevailed, it is also said that the idea OBJ
tains that Kossuth has been proclaimed king
of America, and. that he is shortly to appear
again in Europe at the head of an immense
army. That such a story as this should get
abroad is not as singular, however, as the
lottery scheme hoax, for accounts of Kos
suth's first reception in the States might
lead the masses of Europe to believe almost

PRICE OF RAILWAY IRoN.-The NY. Ex-
press says the price of railway iron in Eng
land has gone up from SS2l to 1871 per ton,
This adds also under our ad valorem tariff S6
per ton to the duty, thus increasing the pro-
lection, when it is least essential, and dimin-
ishing it when it is most needed by the hard
driven manufacturers.
And this is not all 1t adds SO per ton to
the price paid by the consumer. 1t gives
the British capitalists the control of our mar
ket, the control of our manufactures and con-
troll over the pockets of the consumer. Is
this Independence!

ordination has been manifested by the negro
population within the last few months thun
in any previous period of our history us a
