used, and the servants are forbidden to apply

Suppose the statue, thus soaped or creased,
has had the plaster mould made from it, we
must next expect the staining effects of the
medium. Now, to remove this, may not di-
luted acid have been applied, which, although
able to take away the unsightly traces of the
application and leave the surface in q snow
like purity, must, by disntegrating the mate
rial, leave it so soft that it may be scratched
by the finger nail" Suppose the surface of
this statue to be in this softened condition,
what must be the effect of taking another
mould from it, with or without greasing, when
we know that, to make perfect mould, there
must be most intimate approximation between
the plaster used and this crumbling marble,
and that some force must necessarily be used
to separate them, when the plaster becomes
firm? Suppose that the plaster brings away
fakes from the softened surface, who is to re-
pair the injury, and how can it be effected?
What would be the emotions of Virginian, Of
the next generation, in beholding the muta-
ton of this beautiful piece of art if such q
result should occur, seeing, on one side the
original marble ruined by an effort of redupl-
cation to save its features from improbable
accidents; whilst, on the other hand its place
is supplied by a harsh, opaque, and paltry
plaster cast?
The author of this circular asserts of this
statue, which should stand for centuries, "Hat
there is titte prospect u its lasting many gears
longer yet the statue Of Pompey in the Senate
house, at whose feet great Caesar fell" still
stands in all its pristine grandeur in the Spada
gallery.
He asserts that the constant absorption Of
moisture, in one of the most genial climates of
the world, and in a protected position too,) and
the crumbling surface, shew the urgency of
the case and he announces his inability F" to
make more than two sets of moulds.' Now, to
me it seems that if there is any urgency in the
case, it is to let the statue alone, and lift comes
thus injured into his hands, why not, in the
name Of common sense, be content with one
mould, if ever that can be successfully taken
without the peril of destruction to an original,
which he says is already SO dilapidated as only
to be able to last a few more years, and more
especially too, when it is perfectly notorious,
that from one mould, casts can be taken and
reproduced in bronze, zinc, iron, lead, plaster,

Imnortant TO Printers.

An invention of character interesting and
important to the publishers Of journals of large
circulation, has been patented by Mr.. Victor
Beaumont, citizen of New York, though of
French birth. 1t is printing press, which, at
a moderate rate of speed, will deliver thirty
thousand sheets, printed on both Sides in a
single hour! Its movement combines the
original principles of Napier, which are APP
piled by Hoe in his great press, with some new
and beautiful and simple arrangements and de-
vices of the inventor. 1t has large central
cylinder like the Hoe press, on which are fas-
tened the forms for both sides of the sheet to be
printed. The type are held fast by Hoes pa
tent column-rules. The paper used is contin-
nous strip or band, dispensing with men to feed
the separate sheets as in other power presses.
This strip or band Mr.. Beaumont arranges very
ingeniously, he avoids the inconvenience in
separable from having il in the form Of n roll,
by laying it in pile, folded backward and for
ward like a piece of broadcloth; one end Of
this pile is put into the press which then draws
in its own supply without tearing or strain
ing the paper till the whole sheet has passed
through.
AS there are no feeders, room is obtained for
additional printing cylinders: moderatesized
press will have twelve of these, and will re-
quire three hands to run it, two of them being
employed in carrying and looking after the
paper. Each twelve-cylinder press will work
four of these continuous sheets ut time, or
one to each three of its cylinders. Each sheet
will pass twice through; at its first passage one
Of its sides will be entirely printed, the forms of
the newspaper being impressed omit alternately.
AS it comes out, the machine lays it back again
in the same sort OF a pile, so that when it is
all done, the attendant supplies its place with
a fresh pile, and then carries it to the proper
spot for it to be taken up and passed through
the second time, which prints the side left blank
before. Then the mechanism passes it along
to the knives which cut the sheets apart, while
another contrivance puts them in neat piles
ready for the carriers. These knives are very
ingenious. A serious difficulty has been expe-
rienced in other machines designed to print
continuous sheet, from the fact that an ordinary
knife cannot be relied on to cut paper which is
wet enough for printing This inconvenience
Mr.. Beaumont obviates by making his serrated,
or saw-shaped knives with long and acute
teeth. The points of the teeth easily pierce the
paper, and once having obtained an entrance,
the cutting is completed in an instant.
These are the chief features of what we con-
slider avery admirable invention. Nopresses have
yet been built on this plan, but when we state
that Mr. Hoe has purchased the patent and is
now ready to make them, we say enough to
convince practical men that our opinion is well
founded. We suppose that this press must SUI
persede all Others for everywhere great rapidity
is required-N J.. Tribune.

We have thirty-two sovereign States, with

may he said that America is the miracle of the

requires much merit; to perpetuate them to
our posterity much virtue and circumspcction.
That they may be continued from father 70 son,

MELANCHOLY EVENT.

We were mnch panied to learn from pr-
vate letter. received last night, of depiorable
event which terminated the life of DR.. William
l.. Warning of Essex county, Virginia. The
circumstances are as follows: As he was en-
tering the town Of Tappahannock, in company
with another gentleman, both being in q buggy,
they we~e told by some boys that u dcranged
man, by the name of Fisher, had stationed
himself on the roadside with gun, for the
purpose Of shooting the gentleman wfo accom-
panied DR.. Warning. He, to avoid the man,
got out Of the buggy and walked into the
village by another way. DR.. Warning, not
supposing himself in danger, drove On, and,
when he reached the spot at which the man
was stationed, he told him not to shoot, that
he was his friend, but the wretch fired upon
him. and all the shot took effect on his head
and side He lived but few hours aud died
amid the regrets and lamentations of kindred
friends and neighbors
We knew DR.. Warning well. A better and
a purer man never lived Ahectionatc to his
friends, kind to the poor, and polite to all de
grees of men, he was universally beloved in
his neighborhood and county.

IRREGULARITIES OF OUR COUNTRY

For some days past we have been enjoying
that charming season peculiar TO America. the
Indian summer 1t is one Of those many pecu-
liarities that distinguish our favored country
from all others. We have rivers that will com
pare with any on the globe. We have cities
that have sprung up as if by magic, and that
vie in beauty, in enterprise, and in population
with those of the old world. We have forests
that would hide armies, and prairies that equal
in extent many Of the principalities and States
across the waters
Our population comprehends every form and
diversity Of mankind. We have the black, the
white, the muatto, and the red man--this last,
| Of a stamp and with characteristics peculiar to
the tribes of the new world Their traditions
are incorporated with our early history, and
garnish our American literature. They have
| bequeathed us some Of the finest specimens Of
eloquence TO be found in any language-some
of them tributes to the generosity others invec.
tiyes against the rapacity Of their conquerors
We have territory reaching from ocean to
ocean, and some Of the isles Of the sea are even
lifting up theireye ito the hills whence cometh
their help They prefer incorporation with us
TO nominal independence, or a continued sub
lection 10 other countries.
Last Of all, we have form Of government
suited TO the age, and suited, indeed, to the
wants of man in every age. 1t cramps none Of
his energies--it filches from him none of his
rights--it imposes on him no burdens and no
expressions, 1t quarters upon the masses no
proud aristocracy TO eat out their substance and
subdue their pride Of manhood aid Freedom

The Worcester Murder Casc.-W

The Worcester Murder Casc.-We learn
from the Worcester Transcript that the trial of
Manly Ransom for the murder of his wife Nancy
Ransom, at Spencer, on the 18th Of July, 1851,
was concluded on Friday, after the testimony for
the government had all been given in, by allowing
the prisoner 10 retract his plea of moi guilty, and
plead guilty of manslaughter.
After some brief remarks from the court, tend
ing TO the same issue the prisoner was then asked
by the clerk IL he desired 10 rctract his plea, TO
which he answered affirmatively, and then plead
guilty of manslaughter,
Mr.. Wayland, by permission of the court, pro.
ceeded TO introduce testimony IN mitigation OF
sentence. Several witnesses from Spencer and
vicinity were called, and the general character of
their evidence was, that the prisoner was general
" peaceable and quiet, and Woodworking man,
but at times given TO intemperance and irritation
and on the other hand that his wife was an intern
perate and auarrclsome woman, of bad reputation,
Of more than ordinary physical strength, and had
sometimes driven the prisoner from his house.
The court, after a consideration of the case and
its attendant circumstances, sentenced the prison
CIR to hard labor the State Prison al Charlesown,
Tor tue term of three years, three days of which
TO be in solitary confinement

A LEGAL ANEcDoTE.--The following anec.

Mason, of New Hampshire, and it is said to
have occurred at Portsmouth:
There is well-known custom prevailing in
our criminal courts, assigning counsel to such
prisoners rs have no one to defend them On
one occasion, the court finding man accused
Of theft, and without counsel, said to wag Of
lawyer, who was present, "Mr. 49,, please
withdraw with the prisoner, confer with him.
and give him such counsel rs may be best for
his interests" The lawyer and client withdrew,
and in fifteen minutes the lawyer returned into
court alone. "Where is the prisoner" asked
the court. He has gone your honor told me
to give him the best advice | could for his in
terest; and as he said he was guilty, thought
the best counsel could offer him was to cut

Military Excit,

Military Excitement.--ln one Of our public
schools, on Wednesday, the opening exercises
having been concluded the boys, as usual, resorted
To their books for the educational labor before
them, though with heavy hearts, for on their way
TO the school they had witnessed certain military
gatherings, which indicated grand celebration Of
the anniversary of the battle of Yorktown and
they Juvenile patriots they We're, desired 10
participate in the holiday They had scarcely
opened their books-the sharp eye Of the teacher
resting upon his pupils--when the sound of the
bugc, and the blowing of the flies, and beating
of drums, in the immediate neighborhood, at once
arrested their mental energies and struck chord
in every heart that vibrated TO the martial music.
An intense state of excitement succeeded the
shock, some of the boys leaving their seats and
rushing TO the windows, while others Were unde-
cded as TO whether they should disregard their
vigilant tutor and obey their natural impulses. In
vain was the order given to be composed, and 10
resume their studies. The fuel had been kndled,
and the teacher could not suppress the fame OF
excitement. Finding all his efforts TO this end I'M
awaiting, he dismissed the objects of his charge,
TO the unbounded JOY OF the juveniles, who, with
race-horse speed, flew TO the City Hall TO see the
gay and brilliant military assemblagc. Two or
three little fellows, in their haste forgot their hats,
and, as consequence, were bare headed witnesses
of the display They had probably asked their pa
rents unsuccessfully, for holiday but the tutor
g Soon granted what their sires denied"
