Wood for Fuel

Three cords of green partially seasoned
wood will not warm room for as great a
length of time as one cord we'll dried, and
entirely free from moisture. The rationale
is simple and although to be found in books,
nevertheless true it may be thus under
stood -
'Substances contain heat as latent in
to their bulk Thus if we pour
a cubic inch of alchohol on our head and fan
it, the one cubic inch assumes the form of
vapor and becomes 200 cubic inches capa-
bic of receiving proportionate amount Of
heat, and therefore takes heat from the
nearest hot object, the head, causing it to
keep cool. Water placed on the head and
then rapidly evaporated, will cool the head
from the same cause. 1t may now be under
stood that single pint of water contained
in piece of wood thrown on the fire viii
become LOO pints of vapor, and that this
vapor will increase in size one FIVE hundredtt
part of its bulk for every degree added, 81
that it travels up the chimney, carryingwitf
it as much heat as would warm all the ali
in large room for a considerable space O
time.
Many suppose that green wood may b
burned in stoves with profit.
This is an error, for the vapor viii pass VI
the pipe carrying with it the heat, and pre-
venting its being received by the iron an,
radiated into the room.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1882.
Mr. Hunter, yesterday, made very able
speech in the Senate against the Iowa Land
Bill, which is one Of the numerous PROPOSE
tons to give alternate sections Of the pub
lie lands to railroads in the new States.
Mr.. Hunter always speaks with uncom-
mon ability. His manner is good, and he
treats his subject with high craftsmanship:
He is not a mere politician, but true states
man, in the broadcast sense of the term. His
reelection to the Senate this winter is are
ward justly merited by an able, faithful
Representative, and does the Old Common
wealth, whose servant he is, infinite credit.
It is conclusive illustration that true states
manship is yet highly appreciated by Vir-
ginia. Mr.. Hunter has fewer enemies than
any public man have ever known, who has
been so long and SO distinguished in public
life.
Mr.. Buchanan is here, and makes himself
very agreeable. He has just returned from
a visit to Richmond, where public dinner
was rendered and declined. 1t is supposed
that his visit there was to stimulate his
friends in their efforts to send delegates to
the Baltimore Convention favorable TO him
for the Presidency.
l regret to inform you that Mr. Burt Of
your State, is still detained at his home by
indisposition.
P. S.-The brawling Compromise Sena-
tors of the South, who were once violent fo1
the rights of the South, have not Jared well
Downs is turned out in Louisiana; Foote has
been compelled to decline the Senatorial
canvass in Mississippi; the legislature Of
Alabama refused to go into the election of q
United States Senator, in place of Clemens,
although strongly urged to do so by his
friends, and it is now generally conceded
that he is laid upon the shelf; and it is be.
lieved that Cobb can never restore himself
to the confidence of the Democratic party
of Georgia In those States where the
Wings have majority, they eschew the
Union organization-for example, Louisiana
When they are in minority, they insist OF
keeping up the Union organization-see
Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. They
are a shrewed set of politicians, especially il
| taking care Of number one.

The Administration and Consul Owen.

Several weeks ago we published the letter
of Consul OWEN, in which it was manifest
that he rested the defence Of his official con-
duct in Cubaupon his instructions from the
Government. 1t seemed to US from his
statement that he had not in any respect de-
parted from his instructions, unless his in
reference, at all, in favor of the prisoners be
regarded as such departure.
When Mr. OWENS defence appeared we
published it without comment, expecting
that some denial or explanation, would be
made by the confidential friends of the Ad-
ministration But we have looked in vain
for such explanation, and as the matter now
stands before the public, the opinion must
be that Consul OWEN has been disgraeed
and called home for obeyiag instructions. II
is claimed for the present Administration
that it pursues an independent and fearless
course, standing up manfully for the law and
boldly meeting its responsibilities in the
face of popular clamor. We grant that in
some instances it may have done so, but the
case of Consul OWEN is not one of them. II
his case, unless the friends of the Admins
tration can make some explanation of tn,
matter not heretofore. suggested, every hon
est mind must conclude that the subordinat,
has been sacrificed for the act of his supe
riors. The proclamation Of the President
the subsequent correspondence Of the Cab
met, and the published statement of Mr.
owen, all lead to this conclusion, and if tn
matter is permitted to rest here, the charac
ter of the Administration for independence
cannot, hereafter, be regarded as altogethe

BORROWERS OF NEWsPAPERs.-T Nor

class of community profting by the fruit of
others labor:
The newspaper borrower is generally
not alw ys-a man we'll to do in the world
either engaged in trade, or living in "otium
cum dignitate" on the interest of his money.
He is known as a "wide awake" man; he
doesn't subscribe to paper, because he has
no time to read it, he says, but in the faint
anticipation of leisure moments, sends for
his neighbours paper early every day, and
keeps it until it is called for, frequently re-
plying to message to that effect, that he
hoS1'f trad time 10 Rad Il yet, and will send
It back as soon as he has done so. His fond
ness for newspapers Is Ike rho forr1fHUSs ct a

ly giving currency to the ISLANDERS calculated
to injure them.
No farmer ever suffered half as much
from "crows in the corn-feld'' as we have
from the dctatorial, self-eopceited and grab
all beggar. He has often prosecuted good
subscribers into stopping our paper, his
known fondness for which is so great, that
if we had only dollar per annum for the
last four years from the legion to which he
belongs, we could do almost anything that
money could accomplish, rendering our pa
per correspondingly valuable.

newspaper as it is to refuse the loan of an
axe, wheelbarrow or a servant.

The Empire City from New York, Via
Havana, arrived at New Orleans On the
2lst., with the California mail, and $50
passengers. The Ohioleft Havana for Chag-
res on the 18th inst, with 100 passengers.
The California news is up to the 21st of jan
uary.
The last Legislature established Vallejo
as the seat of Government, the proprietor of
that town, Gen. Vallejo, having agreed to
put up suitable buildings for the Govern
ment; but it seems that he has not quite
completed them. Sometime since, Governor
McDOugal ordered the government archives
and records to be sent back to San Jose, the
old seat. Things remained in this condition
when the Legislature met-some at San Jose
and a majority at Vallejo; but a majority
after meeting, adjourned to meet at Sacra-
mentO City, where large new Court House
was rendered them, and where they are now
sitting. Thus the Californians have three
seats Of Government, which will bring the
question before the Supreme Court, and we
have but little doubt that Vallejo will be
settled upon. We think that Gen. Vallejo
made the most magnificent offer ever made
to Government he has spent much in ac-
complishing it, and because he has not CON-
lpleted the State House, it would be outra-
geOus. to deprive him of what he had spent.
The State itself, if it had undertaken it,
could not have accomplished more than he
has; as it takes years to build up necessary
buildings for a seat of Government.
The Legislature, by vote, fixed it as the
seat of Government, and no act of the Gov,
ernor, or mere resolution to adjourn else
where, can change the act. When the Leg
islature adjourned to Sacramento, the PEG
pie of San Jose refused to give up the re-
cords, and got out an injunction, but finally
they were given up.
The election of United States Senator had
|, not come off, The vote for Governor stands
Bigler, (dem 1914; for Reading, (whig)
\ 1924. Gov. McDOugal Immediately re
signed, and Bigler indicted into Office; but
many believe that the Office really belongs
to Reading, in consequence of frauds in the
election; but as it is hard to establish, il
will probably be passed over. The Legis
lature having now received their records
and found place of sitting, will probably
go to work, and by the next arrival we shall
know who succeeds Freeman in the United
States Senate.

The U. S. Senate.

Whether or not the following humiliating
picture from spirited exchange was promp-
ted by the late union emeute at jackson,
Messrs, Walker Brooke and Stephen Ad-
ans, will no doubt regard it as PERSONAL
Explanations have frequently been demand
ed upon much less explicit grounds.
"The Senate of the United States he's
been, a model of its kind. Possessed of
great political power, its moral influence has
been even greater. It has been made up
of the great intellects of the day. Men
who had no superiors and few equals, gave
dignity to its deliberations, and put upon
its public acts the seal of high character and
lofty mind. No consultative body in the
world ever impressed the spectator with a
more profound respect, than did this body OF
American Patriots But that day has gone
we fear, gone too forever. A mean, dir

HENRY g. ADAMS, ESQ. Union Demoerat.)
Dear SRI am only able to state very
briefly. in answer to your note, that Ieertain-
" should not deem it consistent to support
anv other politics than those Of the d0mi-
nant majority Of the State. AS to the next
presidency, as / have often said 10 you in
private, | do not expect to support the nomi-
nees Of the next Wing Convention, because
/ fear the Convention win not be sound on
the compromise issues. Ny expectation is
to give my support to the Baltimore Con-
vention ticket, provided it is not tinctured
with Secession, and is pledged to the con-
promise measures. From present appear
ances, and the names Of the prominent can
didates before that body, think it certain
that the last named convention will present
a ticket on which the whole South will unite,
and one which will cheerfully support
My feeble health prevents me writing fur
ther. Your friend,
w. BROOKE.
His declaration on the same day the above
was written to D. w. Adams, Esq. (Whig:)
He (Mr. Brooke) had not changed bis
faith-he aoas still a Whig-but if elected
to the Senate, he would be bound to repre-
sent what he understood to be the will Of
the majority of the State. In the Presi-
dental canvass, if both candidates were
equally sound on the slavery question, he
acou2d support the Wing.
Mr.. Alcorn confirmed the statement Of
Mr.. Adams, and after explaining how deci-
ded a Wing he (Mr. Alcorn) had always
been, declared with great emphasis:
Sir, Mr.. Brooke as as good a Wing as
I am!
The Vicksburg Wing says:
Mr.. Brooke is one of the staunchest
Wings in the State.
PER CoNTRA-Mr Brooke made the fol
lowing declaration on the same day to Mr.
Roby, Union democratic representative from
Noxubee, in the presence of another gentle
man. It commits him unqualjfedly to the
support of the nominee of the Baltimore
Convention, provided that nominee is the
gentleman referred to, whether "both can.
didates are equally sound on the slavery
question" or not:
Mr.. Brooke stated to me in conversation
that he would vote for no man for President
who was not in favor of the Compromise
measures, and that If Gen. Cass pas III,
nominee Of the Democratic Contention, h
aoould give him a cheerful support!

Under which Banner 2


The late controversy between the North
and South with its consequent disintegration
Of former political parties, has left the South
ern people an important problem to solve.
The question stated in its broadcast form, is,
simply, whethcritis not more conservative of
the interests Of the Union to organize par
ties on a national basis, than to surrender to
any sectional organization. We do not pro-
pose at this time to argue out the more patri-
otto tendencies of national combinations,
which it seems to US should strike every one,
but briefly to state the inevitable alternative
which must be forced on all by the "current
Of events" The issue presented then is be-
tween the national democracy and the Union
party, the success of either involving the de-
feat Of the other. And here we would re-
mark that though Union party go nominee,
is an exotic of the South, yet from the very
composition of the parties themselves, the
Union and Wing party is for all practical
purposes one and the same, the success of
one inuring to the benefit of the other
One or two facts will bear US out. We as
sert that there can be no sectional organiza-
ton except upon the principles Of the I'm
Jon party. Acquiescence is the basis of that
party, and as a pOlicy, has been rendered
operative by the sovereign voice Of the South.
That question is settled, and has therefore
taken from the Southern rights party the
practical issue upon which it rested.
Resistance to farther encroachmcnts, in
volying the faaldy of the Compromise meo
sures, is the other prominent idea Of the
Union party. Now it is evident that what
ever distrust may be felt, either as regards
the stability or fidelity of the Union party
no antagonist ground can be occupied. Mr.
Yancey Of Alabama was consistent in declar
ing that under present circumstances tn,
Georgia plafform went as far ih-its require
ments as the Southern Rights party coult
60, and that opposed as he was to nationa
organization, the Union party with all hi
distrd thod his good wishes.
1t res no ''keen optics" to pcrceiv
with Fapoy that the Union platform
the one which can sustain sectiona
party and that when like him, they leay
the national democracy, they have no wher
else to 60, since northern Whiggery is bu
al aggrayatiOn Of all the isn,s which mar
tie corruption, injustice and centralisr
which they propose to counteract. This b
ing the case, it seems to US that until pre-
pared to surrender to the Union humbug, n
man should oppose that national party tn
SUCCESS Of whose policy, while i; would r,
store peace and concord, would by its pract
cal regard for SAFE Rights, remove all Occi
sion for state remedies, and in which is to
found at last the only true theory respectin
the nature, design and limitations Of Il
general government.
