0cF A city paper last week published the
ridiculous statement that Mr.. Parrett, former
ly almost an unknown member of the Bar of
this city, had most effectually demolished Col.
Crockett at Barbecue held in Kentucky op
posite Newburg! Now the fact is Col. Crock
EFT so badly used up this young man, that he
left the grounds in ridicule, and ever since it
is only necessary to say Crockett to him to
make him run. What an editor can expect to
gain by making such statement as that Coz
Crockett was defeated in debate by this Mr.
Parrett, where both the men are known, and
after the most igraonenious defeat of the man
this editor claims to have been the victor, is
more than we can conceive. Such statement
would never be made by paper which had
any good reputation to lose.

Progress

The day is still within the memory of many
when men on trial for their lives were not
permitted to defend themselves by counsel,
and this deprivation was made in the name of
fairness, because saith Coke, shat the testi-
mony and proof Of the crime ought to be so
clear and manifest, that there can be no defence
of it. If we travel back still farther, we come
TO time when no prisoner was entitled to q
copy of the indictment against him, of the panel,
or of any of the proceedings; such necessary
aids to defence were refused to Sir Harry
Vane and Colonel Sidney. Hearsay evidence;
things said to have been said by dead or absent
persons; testimonies of the loosest kind, We're
admitted against prisoner in the middle of
the seventeenth century. 1t was not usual
even to examine witnesses against the Crown.
When Thrakmotton, on trial for his life, asked
for the reading of an entire deposition, where's
from portions had been quoted against him, he
was assured that it would be but loss of time,
and would make nothing for him. Then, as
gain, persons prosecuting by the Crown, used
TO be tried by judges holding place and pension
at the pleasure of the prosecutor, as we'll as by
iuries liable to unlimited fine and Imprisonment,
and, not seldom, reminded that they were SO
liable for verdicts unpalatable to the Court
Sheriffs, too, were submissive, and commonly
returned juries so partial that, as Wolsey said
of them, they would find Abel guilty of the
murder of Cain In the reign of Henry the
Eighth, to which we have just referred, seven~
ty~two thousand adjudged criminals were exc
cuted, being an average Of six day, including
SUNDAYS. Towards the latter end of the reign
of Elizabeth, the average came to be one each
day for all the working week, and two for
Sunday Anon.

ARARAT.---The London correspondent
of the New York Commercial Advertiser
says:
An Interesting account appears in the
Times of this morning of an ascent of
Mount Ararat by five Englishmen. The
natives believed the feat to be impossi-
BILE, and that the summit was guarded by
divine prohibition. 1t is 1923 feet a.
boVe the sea level, and terminates in a
precipitous snow capped cone, which has
hitherto foiled all the attempts ofexplorers.
Major Robert Stewart, who was one of
the party, and who writes the account of
it from Erzeroum, states that on reaching
the top, they stuck to the hlltin the snow
short double-edged sword. They also
drank the health of the Queen. On this
he observes: 'Her Majesty's name is
probably the first that has been pronoun-
ced on that solemn height since it was
quilted by the great patriarch of the hui
man race, as no record or tradition exists
of the ascent having ever been made be-

The LARGEST PRINTING Press IN THE
WoRLD.-'Antelope, the New York cor
respondent ofthe New Orleans Picayune,
thus alludes to pair of mammoth print
ing presses, now building by the Messrs.
Hoe: Perhaps when the London Times
ordered ten cylinder press from the
Messrs. Hoe, it imagined it was leaving
even the most enterprising of the Ameri-
can journals in the background, but it
will soon find out its mistake, for I now
learn that the circulation of the Philadel-
phia Ledger, (running well on to one
hundred thousand daily,) has compelled
the enterprising proprietors of that paper,
Messrs. Swain & Abel, to order from the
manufacturers two TWELVE cylinder pres
ses, at cost of $4,000! To accommo-
date these gigantic pieces of workman
ship, the Ledger folks have been obliged
to purchase two adjoining buildings, at
heavy outlay, and in which the presses
are to be placed. When these are intro
duced, the Ledger will be able to print
sixty Thousand sheets an hour, or equal
to one thousand sheets per minute and
all this immense circulation, building of
the fastest presses in the world, and un-
bounded prosperity generally, is the result
of untilnching integrity, an indomitable
perseverance, and business tact that
sees no motto ahead but onward!'

A Picture

Snuff 'Dipping.'-Of all the detestable OBJ
noxious, offensive, unnecessary and fllthy imi-
tations which dear woman is guilty of inherit~
ing from fallen, depraved, corrupt and wicked
man, that of snuff dipping stands pre-emi-
nent. How the second edition of an angel, the
ne plus ultra of heavens best workmanship,
the idol of man. the diamond of song, the gem
of prose and the crowning glory of humanity,
and concentrate a tea or table spoonful Of
pulverized poison, that would kill hog, and
prove certain death to every living creature,
except tobacco worm, is to be totally at vari~
ance with all philosophy, reason, scripture,
taste and refinement, and utterly incomprea
hensible. We wish It were dream, we wish
il were romance, we wish it was not so; but
sad reality presents the picture of an angel OF
beauty, with heavenly smile, rosy cheek,
the eye Of gazelle, standing erect in all her
majesty, dazzling in her robes of silk and dia.
monds, her form reflected in a costly mirror,
with chinquepin stick, nicely scraped, be-
tween her white fingers, with the end in box
of snuff. and regularly applying it to her shin
ing rosy lips and mellow tongue. Faugh. it
makes US sick TO think about it!

| OUR SUGAR LANDS. The deterioration
IN our sugar lands, and the diminution
In the amount made, and the resulting
enhanced cost of the article, is exciting
considerable attention abroad. The Ma
tional lntelligencer suggests the cause of
| IT, deterioration in the following remarks:
1t is known that the continued produc-
ton of single species of plant upon al
most any soil will eventually exhaust it of
those elements especially required as its
pabulum, if that element be not carefully
ascertained and systematically returned
to the soil. Is this not probably the case
in respect to the sugar fields of Louisia-
ma? Chemical analysis has shown that
nearly one-half of the inorganic matter
contained in the cane itself is phosphate
of lime, and nearly fourth silica. The
bare statement of this fact must assuredly
suggest to every mind the probable cause
OF the evil. In the continued culture of
sugar upon the same lands, as of every
thing else, a judicious system of rotation,
with liberal supply of manure, is essen
tlal, and, as has been minated, the latter
must be ofthe kinds specially Indicated
The lower priced guanos and bone.dust
adapted to supply the phosphates: but
these, to some extent, are contained in
the barn yard and many other manures in
use. In the alluvial soils of the Missis-
siPpi Valley, silica is probably even more
meagerly furnished by nature, and its re-
turn is, therefore, more frequently called
for. A partial supply of it may be OBJ
tanned from the cane itself by boiling the
bagasse, or refuse trash in strong potash
lye, and then distributing the liquid or the
residuum, which would contain a con-
siderable quantity of the silicate of potash,
upon the soil.

A PICTURE OF DIsUNION.

In his farewell address to his country
men upon retiring from the presidency
the patriot statesman and hero of the
Hermitage said:
What have you to gain by division
and dissension DeIude not yourselves
| with the hope that the breach, once made.
would be afterwards easily repaired. II
the Union is once severed, the separation
will grow wider and wider; and the con-
troversies which are now debated and
settled in the halls of legislation will be
tried in the field of battle and determined
by the sword. Neither should YOU de-
celve yourselves with the hope that the
first line of separation would be the per-
manent one.
Local interests would
still be found there, and unchastened am
bition. And if the recollection of com.
mon dangers, in which the people of
these United States have stood side by
side against the common foe-the memo
ry of victories won by their united vaIor-
the prosperity and happiness they have
SuJoJeo uHu6i the present. COnSttLuLlOn---
if all these recoIections and proofs of
common interest are not strong enough to
bind US together as one people, what tie
will hold united the new divisions of en-
pire when these bonds have been broken
and this Union dissolved! The first line
of separation would not last long; new
fragments would be torn off, new leaders
would spring up, and this great and glo-
rious republic would soon be broken into
a multitude of petty States, armed for
mutual aggression-loaded with taxes to
pay armies and leaders-seeking aid a.
gainst each other from foreign powers
insulted and trampled upon by the nations
of Europe---untll, harrassed with conflicts
and humbled and debased in spirit, they
would be willing to submit to the domi-
nion of any military adventurer, and to
surrender their liberty for the sake Off

PENNSYLVANIA GIVEN UP BY Demo
Graf "A correspondent of the St. Louis
Democrat, strong BUCHANAN paper,
writing from Philadelphia, and signing
himself a Pennsylvania Democrat,
makes the following reluctant acknowled-
ments:
My confidence that Mr.. Buchanan
will carry his own State is daily becoming
more shaken; and should he fail to get
the electoral vote of Pennsylvania, his
chances will indeed be slim. y
With one or two exceptions, every North
ern and Eastern county shows strong
indications of giving Republican maiori-
ty. However unpalatable what
has been written above may be to others,
it is written with conviction of its stub
born truth. Had not the writer visited
in and talked with the people of many
counties which have always been looked
upon as the strongholds of Democracy,
he would not write thus; he is no croaker,
but well knows that the price of liberty is
eternal vigilance. For the benefit of o.
ther States, whose citizens feel secure in
the certainty ofsuecess, will here record
my prediction-that if the opposition con-
tinue their activity and very thorough or
ganization, and our friends in The old
keystone continue their present indiffer-
ence, the country must be prepared for
four years of the administration of sec
lional party, the consequences of which
will not refer to-
Will Southern Democrats now open
their eyes to what is Transporting, and help
elect Mr.. FILLMORE, or will they indirect
" aid in the election of FREMONT?
