GT A friend suggests that our remarks,
wo weeks agc, relative to the candidates for
District Attorney, might be construed into a
li~sparagement Of our esteemed ellow-eitizen,
,. Q. Merwin, Esq. Certainly nothing was
arther from our intention; rs this is no polit.
cal Office our desire was simply to act with
trict impartiality. We have favorably known
dr. Merwin too long to take advantage Of Gus
POSITION to put a straw in his way. On the
ontrary, we look upon him as eminently quail
lied in point Of ability, education and read.
ng to I'LL the Office with honor, and we wish
Q be distinctly understood now that these are
u sentiments.

The GovEKSoRsHP.--Last week we ex-
pressed our preference for John J. McRae for
this office. We believe he will turn out TO be
the choice of the Democracy Of the State. The
fazoo Democrat of the 10th inst says:
"Col. J. J. McRae, we feel quite certain. is
the choice of the Democracy Of this portion
Of the State, for candidate for Governor.
Col. McRae is a man Of fine abilities. and
would I'LL the Gubernatoral chair with honor
to himself and credit to the State. VIZ have
no choice ourselves among the names men
toned in connection with that station.p
The Democrat says, 1--WE have no choice our.
selves" We may say, for ourself, that our ex.
preston in favor Of Col. McRae is founded
solely on our view Of the best interests Of the
party and the people, and not on any mere
persoGel preference, which we shall never per.
NIT to influence us in our editorial course.

How Lone CAN ONE LIVE WITHOUT SLEEP
This question we have never seen answered.
But an authentic communication has been
made to a British society whose field of oper-
alton is in Asia descriptive Of a mode of pun
ishment which is peculiar to the criminal code
of China. 1t appears from this communion
ton that a Chinese merchant had been con-
victed of numbering his wife, and was sen
fenced to die by being totally deprived Of go
ing to sleep. This singular and extremely
painful mode Of quitting m earthly existence
was carried into execution at Annoy under the
following circumstances /: The condemned was
placed in prison under the care of three Of
the police guards, who relieved each other
every alternate hour. and who prevented the
prisoner from falling asleep for a single mo-
ment, night or day. He thus lived for nine
teen days without enjoying any sleep. AT
the commencement of the eighteenth day his
suffering were so cruel that he implored the
authorities to grant him the blessed opportu-
nifty Of being strangulated, garrotted, guillot-
ined, burned to death, drowned, quartered,
shot, blown up with gunpowder, OF put to
death in any conceivable way which humani-
ty or ferocity could invent. This will give
us some idea Of the horrors Of dying because
you cannot go to sleep.

what ne saw Yesterday


We cannot pretend 10 depict everything that we no

ty of at least few things that under our oD-
seryatioh Yesterday in this great commercial emPo-
rum. !,
Would TO God web had all the abolitioniss OF
the city at the Aston House yesterday, for the Pur
pose OF impressing them with two chapters OF mo-
raj lesson which they either greatly need Or very much
disregard. We saw southern gentleman get into a
chaise with his negro servant and ride up Broadway
with the same nonohalance that northern man would
assume in company with friend, or belle. What
abolitionist dare allow himself TO be caught riding
through the most fashionable street of New York win
negro in his company?
Again we saw an old darky at hotel appealing for
aims for the purpose of raising funds sufficient Tor the
purchase of his children, now held in southern bon
dage. The saloon filled with all manner oil men,
chief among whom were northern abolitionlsts. but
the only persons who spoke to the freed slave were
southerners. One gentleman asked him how he OBJ
tanned his freedom. He replied that he did it by
overwork and that bis Sc massa charged him seven
hundred dollars for himself and five hundred dollars
for his wife However, he paid six hundred and for
ty dollars for himself and four hundred for his wife
and smassa ~ threw in the balance. Among some
dozen southerners quite handsome raised
for the purchase of his children, and not one single
northern abotonist could be induced TO contribute
one cent, although urged to do So ProcuI oh pro

SUPPLY OF GUANo.-An immense deposte of GU
ano has been discovered in the Indian Ocean between
Maurtus and Calcutta 1t has been analysed by
Professor Anderson, of Glasgow, and is now also in
the hands of Professor Way of London, for analysis
Four kinds of it have been brought TO gland, two
of which of superior quality, resembling the guiana
of Saldanah Bay, the other two comparatively in
ferior.
The discoverer relates that being becamed off an
island he sent his boats ashore for water They re-
turned without it, but told what they had found. The
captain visited it himself, and having made several
voyages for guano lehaboe, he at pronounced
the substance with which the island is covered TO be
guano. Having traversed the island in various drec
tons. he found guano everywhere its greatest depth,
however, in the and crevces of the rock. He
secured samples and brought them home. The
pies having been taken from the surface, the
quality is supposed to be inferior to what may be
found beneath, it is injured by the action of the
weather. The deposite is reported to be immense, the
island being twenty miles long by seven broad, and
thus 40 times the size of Ichaboe There strong
currents the island, and it is said that
venent loading stages be erected with great faci
y, in the creeks and bays along its coasts. Steps
are being taken to make the guano available to the
British farmer.
This discovery shows what may be reasonably anti
cipaed from search in other quarters, and especially
off the rainess coast of Peru This is the true way
TO break down the monopoly OF Peru, and to secure
for the agrculturst abundant and cheap supplies oil
