pretty state of things is here disclos-

are TO submit, Of course but If they
are beaten, they will havo their way
after all, and will either dissolve the

The Intelligencer doubtless expects
to lrighten the freemen of Lancaster

such threats: but unless we are
greatly mistaken in the spirit of our

THE FREEZING MACHINE.

The following is an extract from letter from
E. MERRIAM to the editors of the New York Cou-
rier and Enqtd. err:
"After writing to you from the banks of the Guy
ahogs, on the morning of the 3lst ult., waited
to witness the operation of the machine for produ-
cling intense cold by artificial means. At 3, p. M,
the proprietor called at my lodgings and accomps-
MED me to his establishment which is for the con-
structon of locomotives. The large engine of the
works was in operation, and the machine for pro-
ducing intense cold was placed in the harness and
commenced operations In less than an hour, the
mercury in the thermometer within the machine
was reduced from ffty-three degrees above zero,
to twenty-four degrees below that line-that was
the lowest figure marked on the SCALE / cut an
apple in two pieces and placed it outside the pipes
and in few minutes it was frozen hard. A cop
per vessel was placed along side of it on the same
pipe, and filed with water, which was, in q short
time, converted TO solid ice. Water dropped on
the pipes was instantly CONCEALED White frost
formed rapidly on the brass pipes and tubes con-
nected with the machine.
The machine in its present state is arranged for
making ton of ice at an operation. A square
cistern with double wall has the space between
the two walls, say about one foot, filed with pull
verified charcoal inside of the inner wall, are six
rows, each row containing twelve cast iron free
zers, each capable of holding as much water will
make thirty pounds of ice; each freezer has depth
OF twelve inches and the length is the same as the
depth, and the width six inches A flange or rim
OF half an inch extends around the four sides of
the freezer and upon this the freezer is suspended
by restives or bars running at right angles. The
hsnges thus arrsyed separate the reezers. forming
q hue between each of one inch width. A fine Of
equal thickness extends under the bottom The
steam engine connects with sn air-pump which is
made to exhaust the atmosphere from these fues.
and as soon as perfect vacuum is produced, cur.
rent of ether is made to pass through these fues
and continued till all the wster in the freezers is
converted to solid ice. This is the whole process
of refrgsrstion-simple, yet complete. The ex-
pense Of making ice by this process is small, and
on large scale can bs worked at cost not ex-
ceeding three dollars per ton. There is room for
improvement in the cast iron freezers so that they
can be made to discharge the ice with greater IA
cility. This machine is capable of enlargement to
the manufacture of hundreds of thousands
of tons of ice, and of producing intensity Of cold
sufficient for any needed purpose"

np,ru or HoN. Holm q. EATON.

Our recent dispatches from Washington en-
nounce the death of Hon JoHS n. EATON, name
very familiar in the early history of Tennessee pol-
tics. Maj. EATON commenced life as lawyer, we
believe, in Franklin, Williamson county, Tenn
About the year 1924 he was appointed by the
Governor of Tennessee to fill 9 vacancy from this
State in the u s. Sen ate. He was subsequently,
re elected by the Leg islatnre to the position
When Gen. JACKSON was elected President, he was
taken into the Cabinet as Secretary of War Du-
ring Gen. 5AoKsok's second term as President, he
appointed Maj. EATON Minister to Spain, which
closed his official services.
Maj EAroN, through all his vicissitudes in life,
was regarded as q man of great smiability of
temper by bis compeers I'D. associates He was
one of q number Of men Of his day whose success
was more attributable to the Partially of their
patron snd friend, Gen. JACKSON than to their own
unsided efforts. written life of the old hero COM
menced by Mr.. READ, distinguished lawyer of
Middle Tennessee, was completed by Maj. EATON.
The strong attachment that long existed between

death. For number of years Maj. EATON has

"In the recent political Canvass all over the
South, the sentiment of disunion was more fully
developed than at any former period of the history of
our country. Wehesrd disunon preached by men
who had previously occupied front rank in the
opposition to those who recommended that last of
all remedies for political evils. "-Patr1Ot.
These are pretty sweeping declarations for q
southern journal to make against large majority
of its own section. Is it true as charged by the
PATRIOT Are the people of the south disloyal to
the Union? Is it true that such sentiments are
more fully developed than at any former period of
our history And have they been preached during
the recent canvass in Tennessee, ntimated by the
Patriot We think not. We heard nothing of it,
and we don't believe any one else did If the
Patriot is fortified in its charges, let it make them
good, Otherwise it is due to the honor and credit
of the State that they should be retrscted. In
Tennessee, perhaps, such empty declarations might
pass for what they are worth-here the people
know to what credit they are entitled-but when
we remember the svidty with which such things
are seized upon by the abolitionists at the north
and used to prejudice the SOUTH there must be truth
and an urgent necessity to justify such course.
We call, therefore, in the name of Tennessee, fn
the name of the south, in right of the parties ar
raigned, for the proof or retraxit of the charges
on which we are arraigned.
There never was more loyal people to any
king or country than the people Of the South as a
body, are to the Constitution and the Union. If
the Patriots co-laborers at the North were but
half as true to the Union, there would be no dan
ger of our severance. In proof of this, the Ssuth
has asked for nothing but what was right, and has
submitted TO much that was wrong.
Away with this cuckoo song about the party
that has largely the sscendancy in every southern
State but one, being dsloysl to the confederscy.-
1t is unworthy of our southern men and an unmer-
tied imputation against our own section Of the
country that should be left to our more natural
enemies in New England

HON John M GLAYTnN

The Providence Journal noticing the death OF
Senator Clayton, says of him:
gall of his prepared speeches, as well as his dip
lomatic correspond ence, are models in style and
temper, and will long be studied by the students
of our political literature. He was q man of al
most gigantic frame, and of remarkably imposing
presence. Although at times moody, and subject
to great depression of Spirits be was when not so
afflicted, most companionsble in his nature, and
had many warmly attached friends. His popular.
ity in his native state has never been affected by
any of the changes and mutations of parties, and
remained undiminished at the hour of his death
What Mr. Webster was to Massachusetts,, Mr..
Calhoun to South Carolina, s7d Mr.. Clay to Ken
lucky, Mr.. Clayton was to Delaware. Mr.. Clay
ton has been most unfortunate in his domestic re-
latons, and his many and sore bereavements have
no doubt contributed to hasten the event which
will now be SO sincerely deplered throughout the
whole country"
81 The know nothing editors were greatly ex-
ercised in showing their readers why Fillmore
could and would be elected The sbsurdity of
their outgiyings is now matter of history. Since
the election they undertake to tell why he was not
elected and these efforts are more absurd than
their former ones; but they are less liable to ex-
posure to their own readers There is not much
danger in speculuting on the past; but it's rather
periIous to mans reputation as prophet to talk
confidently OF the future-Lou Dem.

SLEEP.-S;x or seven hours every day men are
breathing corpses; the face discharges expression,
the brain gives up thinking; life has gone, only the
animal lies there, pulsating, breathing, snoring
helpless as an infant -unnoticed as statue; all
gone, ali vacant, all empty, useless. Looked at
without educated associations there is no differ
encs between a man in bed and man in coffin.
And yet such is the power of the heart to redeem
animal life and clothe all rude and uncommon
things with its own leafbearing branches, that
there is nothing more exquisite, refined, and pure,
and beautiful than the chamber of the hJuse.
Slept has sprouted out with all the flowers of
the poets. The couch-from the day the bride
ssnctifes it to the day that the aged mother is
borne from it-stands clothed with dignity and
beauty Cursed be the tongue that dare speak evil
of the household bed. By its side oscillstes the
crade-not far from it is the crib In this sacred
precinct, the mothers chamber, lies the heart of
the family. Here the child learns its prayers.
Hither, night by night, angels troop.

Mr.. KING LEAVES HoME.-Mr and Mrs. King
resided in the vicinity of Kington. Mrs. King
was taken sick some two weeks since. Mr. King
supposing that she would "stsy sick" all winter,
got discouraged, and fell in love with good look

Martin returned the compliment, and fell in love
with Mr.. King. On Monday of last week Mr..
King proposed an elopement to Miss Martin Miss
Martin says, "the very thing; where shall we go2"
Mr.. King said, ITO Ohio, by the way of Albany

morning. On reaching home he was astonished
again.
During his absence with Miss Martin Mrs. King
recovered her health, and fell in love with New
York dry goods clerk by the name of Jefers.-
This also ripened into an elopement. Mrs. King
not only left home, but she took with her all the

ANXIOUS FOR COMFORT.

The know nothing papers persist in the assertion
that they elected Buchanan, and the inference is that
therefore they should have the credit for it. We
accent their tscit admission that the election Of
Buchanan was the salvation of the country, but
we must insist that il was the everything and In
vincible democracy, and not the know-nothlngs'
that elected him. We remember right well that
during the canvass he was Justify denounced by
these same men as an old federalst and red re-
nnbIican as an sbolitonist and the tool OF south.
ern ire-eaters as an agrarian in principle and yet
vet an enemy to labor and in derision and scorn
he was called "Ten cent Jimmy" and the @sand-
erer of Jackson and Clay" We remember, also,
that in Pennsylvania, his own State, and in In
diana they were fused with the sbotionsts to &C.
compIsh his defeat, which was appIsuded by their
friends in the South. We cannot believe, there
fore, that the know nothings elected Mr.. Buch-
snsn.
Surely there never was such smother party ss
the know nothing party. They have been for eve-
~ body and against every body, for every thing
and against everything until their ally, the Prince
of darkness, must himself be puzzled as to their
identity.
The Patriot Of Monday, without cracking smile,
informs its readers that Pennsylvania and Indiana
were only saved from going for the sboitionists
"by the resolute action in these States of the
friends of Mr.. Fillmorel" that but for the Ameri.
can know nothing] party, abolitionsm would
have swept every northern State ll' Well, that's
funny, amt it. We suppose Connecticut is one of
the States alluded to by the Patriot, where Fill
more's entire cote was but about as large as Buch.
snsn's mere majority in the single county of Lin.
coin. New York we suppose is another-Mr.
Fillmores own State, which they told US he was
80 "certain" to carry. There he was the hindmost
man in the State, the hindmost man in his Con-
gressionsl district-the bindmost man in his own
county and in his own town. With know moth.
ing majority against them heretofore, the demo-
Gratis beat Fillmores political and personal friend
Haven, sending member of their own to Con.
gress. In the entire State, but five Fillmore men
are elected to the Legislature, and not one to Con-
gressl In Pennsylvania and Indiana, according to
the official vote, Buchanan beat Fremont and Fill
more combined. Perhaps the Patriot has some.
thing more official than the official vote. If so,
we hope it will publish what it has. Newspapers
ought to be careful about their statements A good
deal of money has been lost in that way.
