Profits Of Wheat Culture.

The Alton Ill.) Courier recently gave two
or three instances of the successful and profita-
bic culture of Wheat. One instance was that
of Col. W. B. Warren, of Jacksonville, whose
crop of Wheat netted $50 per acre, clear of
all expenses, at present prices. Another case
was that of Mr.. Constant, of Sangamon county,
where the nett profit was SIT per acre. But
these example of good Wheat culture are
thrown in the shade by Mr.. J. E. Arnold, OF
Shipman, III. He cultivated 3-4 acres this
season, and realized therefrom nett profit of
$500 84-or 81 40 per acre. He says:
1.-THE land had been some time in cultivation,
and for the last few years rented out for The
wheat was the first Of October in the standing
corn, and was put in with joint eultivstor by 60

Off With their Heads 7

The Philadelphia Times, of the 14th inst,
says the Navy Yard in that city has become q
political Place de Grece. On the previous
Saturday forty American heads fell beneath
the axe of the guillotine there erected, in ad-
diticn to a large number previously decapitated.
This is the only work that the Adlninistra-
ton can do WELL When it comes TO discharge
night watchmen from their posts at the entries
and around the gardens of the Capitol for
sympatlizing with the American party, this
Administration works with celebrity and de-
cision. In every thing else, however, its i'm
becility and cowardice is strikingly manifest.
The Navy Yard at Philadelphia has been Wis
tied of late by this spirit of contemplate pro-
scrption, and is at present filed, it is said,
with foreign ship-builders, who have supplant-
ed native born Americans, who are certainly
better qualified TO reit our vessels and repair
their rigging than foreigners, fresh from Eu-
rope.
The superlative littleness of the Admins
tration is exhibited TO great advantage in acts
of this character, but it is truly humiliating to
the American people--the noblest empire in
the world-to see their Chief Magistrate and
his Cabinet indulging in such puny revenge
upon the members of noble and powerful
party. Gen. Pierce went into office under
very favorable auspices, but his administration
has been unproductive Of honor to himself or
to the country, and it is whiting off, very
appropriately, by devoting the strength of its
remaining days TO the expulsion of poor me-
chanics and policemen from Office, simply be-
cause they have dared to express openly the
sympathy they felt in the success of the Amer
lean party.

We dislike exceedingly to waste time in discuss
ing question, and then, after driving our oppo
nent into a corner, being told, 'nobody disputes il
what are you talking aboutl" So we ask the
True Wing, if it asserts that Samuel Medary is o
foreigner or that he has refused TO refund the
money which he drew for outfit? If the True WHO
will answer these questions, we shall know what we
are talking about Union and American.
The Union and american knows very well
what we have asserted, and its attempt to
divert us from the point will not succeed. We
have said that the fact that the birthplace OF
Medary is not given in the Blue Book, in &C.
cordance with the requirements Of law Of
Congress, is presumptive evidence thas he is a
foreigner. The Union and american boldly
asserted that he was not a foreigner. We call
for the proof of this assertion, and until it is
given, we shall continue to Goubtits anthem
ITCHY.
We have shown that the public records
place Medary in the attitude of having drawn
$4,000 from the treasury for services which
he refused TO perform, and never refunding the
money. The Union asserts that he has re-
funded it. The assertion requires proof, and
We demand It. The records show that it was
charged to him nine months after it was paid
1t devolves upon our neighbor to correct the
records, and make his assertions good. Can
he do it2

Wetting Bricks.

AS it is important that every one engaged in
building should be well informed in regard to the
durabiitys of materials, publish the following
from an exchange paper:
Very few people, or even builders, aware Of
the advantage of wetting before laying them, or il
they are aware of it, they do not practice it, for OF
the many houses in progress in this city, there
are very few in which wet brick are used. wall
twelve inches thick, built of good mortar with bricks
well soaked, is stronger In every respect than one
sixteen inches thick built dry. The reason of this
is that if the bricks saturated with water they
will not abstract from the mortarthe moisture which
is necessary to its equalization, and on the contrary
they will unite chemically with the mortar, and be-
come as solid as rock. On the other hand, if the
bricks are put up dry they Immediately take all the
moisture from the mortar, leaving it too dry to
harden, and the consequence is that when build
ing of this description is taken down or tumbles
down of its own accord, the mortar from it is
like so much sand.--Scientifc american.

The Supreme Judgeship.

We have noticed with pleasure the move
ments of the bar of the Western District, with.
out distinction of parties, having in view the
nomination and election of competent man
to the vacant seat on the Supreme Bench.
Party politics should PROFESSIONALLY be ex-
cnded from this election, and the people natur-
ally and necessarily look to the bar for an ex-
preston as to who is the most suitable man.
They are the best judges of this matter.
Hence we were panied to notice statement
in the Memphis Wing, that the Appeal of that
city, has called for Democratic convention
to make a nomination. We trust no party
will respond to such call. We are sure there
is no disposition on the part of the American
party to make partizan contest in this in
stance. Let the selection be made by Con-
vention or Conventions without reference to
party politics.

Double Election in Kansas.

The Abolitionists in Kansas, who have avow-
ed their intention to resist all laws passed By
the late Legislature, and now recognized by
the Executive and Judicial Departments OF
the government, have held convention, and
nominated ex-Gov. A. Fl. Reeder for Congress,
and he has accepted, the nomination. The law
breakers, however, had forethought enough
to put their election subsequent to that au-
thorized by the laws of the Territory, so that
no'collision is likely to take place while the
farce is going on. -
The election law of the Territory fixes the
first Monday in October for the election. The
3 law breakers, not recognizing the acts of the
Legislature, selected the second Monday in Oc-
tober for their election. 1t is apprehended
that they intend to play double game on the
pro-slavery party. They have given out that
they do not intend to run candidates at the
regular election; but they are trying to bring
out as many pro-slavery candidates as possible,
in the hope, by these Discussions, of running
in Reeder at the last hour. One citizen has
already bit at the bait-a Mr.. Perkins-who
claims to be a National Democrat, but he is
colby received every where. Failing in this
dodge, Reeder will go through the form of an
election a week later, relying upon the Abo-
ltionists of the House of Representatives to
give him his seat; but he will not get it.

THE Two GREAT EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF GEN
PIERcE.-The Charlottesville (Va) AdUocdte emuous
of the fame acqired by Governor Steele, of New
Hampshire, in recounting the magnificent mnnf
cence Of Pierce, in bestowing an entire cent upon
crying boy, narrates the following incident:
"YoUNG AMERIoA.-Whe President Pierce was
standing near the hotel at which he had taken
rooms, little chap, of few summers finding his
hat band unbuckled, went up to the President and
accosted him fix my hat band, SIR What's your
name? said the President. DeBree-'Do you
know meT Yes; you are the President, said
young America, FIX my hat band The President
fixed his hat hand, and then Young America went
to his play, contented and happy that he, too was
the Presidents peer"

OFFICE OF CORREsPoSDING SECRETARY,

A NOBLE CHARTY.-It is stated that the
contributions for the relief of the sufferers al
Norfolk and Portsmouth exceeded one hun
bred and fifty thousand dollars mp to the 18Th
inst. These contributions have come from
every portion of the country, and from almost
every class of society, aud contributions con-
continue 10 be made with commendab.e liber-
atty.
The sum already contributed is a very hand
some one, indeed, but by no means as large as
will be required before the two unfortunate
cities are again blessed with health, and their
scattered citizens can with safety return to
their desolate homes.
Besides the above, large amounts of bread
stuffs, provision, clothing, etc, have been con-
tributed.

POPULATION OF CmoAGo.--The Chicago
Tribune, of the 10th inst, says the present
population of that city, by the enumeration
just completed, is eighty Thousand and twenty
eight-an increase since 1850, of 81 ,40s, or
1900 per cent. These facts are without par
allel in the history of the growth of American
cities; and the Tribune declares that there is
no known reason why this ratio of increase
should not be maintained for twenty years yet
TO come. at the end of which time the popn-
lation Of Chicago win exceed that Of any other
city on the continent.

CHEAP AND EXCELLENT CANDLEs.-The following
recipe have tried twice, and find 1t all that it is
it is cracked up to be. | have no doubt that it
would have been worth more than $40 to me il |
had known it twenty years ago. Most farmers have
lplus OF stale fat and dirty grease which can be
MAJ into good candles at a trfng expense
I kept both tallow and lard candles through the
last summer, the lard candles standing the heat
best, and burning quite as well, and giving good
a light as the tallow ones. Directions for making
good candles from lard: For IL lbs. Of lard, take
ID. of salpetre, and ID. of alum; mix them and
pulverze them dissolve the saltpetre and alum In
gill Of boiling water; pour the compound into
the lard before it is quite ell Melted stir the whole
until it boils skim of what rises; let il simmer
until the water Is all boiled out, till il ceases TO
throw of steam; pour off the lard as soon as il Is
done, and clean the boiler while it is hot. If the
candles are to be run, you may commence immedi-
ately; if to be dipped, let the lard cool first to
cake, and then treat it you would taliow. Cor

Mr.. ". @. MoRAE's invention for preventing
accidents on railroads at switches, drawbridges
and by collisions, is about to be placed on the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, the first
company which has given its consent to the
inventor to show its practical operations on a
railroad. The principle Of Mr.. McRae's inven-
ton is said to be very simple. 1t operates by
electro magnetic action, and, if it answers the
purpose intended it will prove valuable safe
guard to the travelling public.
