By the above it will be seen that Lick
ing county has the greatest number, and
that Jefferson countyis the fifth in point
of number. Another fact is noticed, viz:
that the four counties Of Jefferson, Har-
rison, Columbiana and Carroll, lying con-
tiguous, form a district in which sheep
raising is carried on more extensively than
in any other equal portion of the Slate.

Ice ON the Potomac.

A beautiful scene was witnessed yesterday by
those who were SO fortunate as to be in the
vicinity Of the Potomac. That great body of ice
east of the bridge, and extending down the river,
left its mornings" and majestically moved
with the current in a solid body and stopped, as
our informant states, near what is called the
White House, below Alexandria. The ice above
or west Of the bridge still holds firmly to it's
position, but is thawing gradually. The fears that
we're entertained some ten days ago that the i'm
mense banks of ice above Georgetown, by sud-
den thaw, would carry off the Potomac bridge,
have subsidized, and hopes are entertained that
we shall escape the anticipated freshet.

The Quadrant Superseded.

We are curious to be made acquainted with
the Rev. Tyler Thatchers new and superior
method of determining latitude and longitude.
The San Francisco "Paciic," the journal which
announces this invention, says: Ellis method
Of determining the latitude, by a single observa-
ton of any heavenly body, seen by night or by
day, either on the meridian or at any angle with
the meridian, is perfectly geometrical, and as
obvious and certain in its results as any case
whatever in spherical trigonometry. He employs
the same observations also to fix the longitude.
The method by which this is done is partly
geometrical and partly arithmetical, but as
plain and certain any demonstration in Euclid's
Elements or any sum in the Rule of Three"

Alabama and Direct Trade.

We have seen an able report from the Commit

on the subject of direct trade. There are 5000
copies for the use of the house printed The re-
port accompanies bill for the incorporation of a
!" direct trade and exchange company" devoted
to the promotion Of Southern commerce. This
is the commencement of most commercial re
form We recognise in the company names well
known, of influence, means, and talent.
The report is an able document, and will well
repay reading The subject of "direct trade, y
with all its elements of power, sympathy, and in
fuence, is now fairly launched at the South, and
acknowledged to be the great question of the
Southern States; for it will give them all the ad-
vantages of their climate, SOIL and geographical
position for trade. A brighter day is dawning on
the South. She is turning her energies in the
right direction. Her great policy is this same

We reluctantly transfer to our columns q word
in disparagement of the accomplished, gentle
manly and estimable Senator from North Carolina.
But the following, from the "Pennsylvanian, " has
the force of truth and justice, and favors cause
that should be sacred to the heart of every free
man: a
"There is clause in the new navy punish
ment bill lately presented to the Senate by Mr..
Badger, of North Carolina, in which he Furnishes
the crime of petty theft board ship by restitu-
ton of the value of the thing stolen from the

badge with "ttief'' written on it. What bar
barity, and SO useless too 1t has always ap-
peared to o majority Of sensible people in this
country that the conduct Of grave Senators on
this subject of dicipline in the navy has been ex-
tremely ridiculous. Such men as Mr.. Badger
deem the American sailor BRUTE or something
worse, to be scourged at the caprice of every
tyrannical naval officer. 1t is, indeed, strange
that American Senator'S can long debate on the
subject of whipping American sailors; that those
who have borne the stars and stripes in triumph
over many boisterous wave, and maintained the
honor Of the country at the cannon's mouth,
should be scourged and dashed, and the wounds

Tardy and reluctant as our people are in sub
stituting coal for wood, economy demands that
they must consent to it. But few persons know
how to use the new material The adaptation Of
size and quality to specific uses requires expe-
rience and skill, without which twice the guam
tity will be consumed that would answer under
proper management. "Too much coal" remarks
the {" Miners Journal sis usually placed in the
stove. by which the draft is destroyed, and the
gases are imperfectly consumed. There are two
other errors in the way we burn coal, by which
more than one-half is wasted. First, we have to
shut the door of our stove or furnace to make a
temporary REORGANIZATION at one time, and at
another time we have to leave open the door and
let in cold air to cool off. Second, the gas that
ascends our chimneys carries with it deal of
coal that is unburned, merely coal in yapor, which
gives out little heat for want OF air to consume

of coal when the door is shut When it is open
the yapor is consumed but the heat is reduced
by q food of cold air and carried up the chimney.
What is required, then, is an air-tight door over
the ash-pit, through which you can let in just
what air is necessary for quick or slow combus-
ton as desired The door that admits the coal

cept to put coal in A small fiue should admit a
stream of air, heated by contact with the stove to

The lecture last evening, by Professor Sill
man, was Of an unusually attractive character,
and amply repaid the numerous auditory for the
toll of wading through the mud Of the wretched
paths leading to the building, and for the discom
fort of the beautiful hall crowded beyond its very
narrow limits. The subject of volcanoes, always
an interesting theme, was continued, and in the
usual brilliant style of the distinguished lecturer
instructive, classical, fascinating. Yet shall we
presume to name one defect? Not, of course, in
the treatment Of his subject, in his lively, en-
tertaining delivery, but simply in the quantum of
voice. The lecture, in all its parts was too good
to be lost yet it required rather painful effort
to catch, from a rapid utterance, his thoughts in
full.

in Catalonia, Italy, and particularly of vesuvius,

cavated cities of Pompeii and Hurculaneum were

streets, public and private edifces, the traces of
their inhabitants, even history Of some of them
Of Diomede with his family of eighteen persons
