Ayfort, France, says the Scientific american,
has communicated to the Imperial Academy
of Medicine the results of investigations upon
the poisonous properties acquired by brine,
after considerable length Of time, in which
pork or other meats had been salted or pickl-
ed The poisonous properties, he states, are
acquired in two or three months after the pre-
parations of the brine, and its use then mixed
with food for any length of time, even although
in small quantities, may produce death. A
simple solution of salt in water, after the same
length of time, does not produce the same ef-
feet. The poison acts as local irritant, ex-
citing violent intestinal congestion and inaam-
nation. 1t likewise increases the secretion OF
the skin and kidneys, and exerts direct effect
upon the nervous system, giving rise to tremb-
ling, loss of sensation, convulsions, &c. Ex-
periments were tried with it in the Veterinary
School upon horses, dogs, and pigs. As brine
is sometime used second time for picking
and other purposes, these facts should be re-
membered.

DIR RAILROAD EXTENSION.

Merely for the purpose of keeping the matter be-
fore the people, we extract from the Times correct
copy of the Act passed at the last session for the ex
tension of the Kings Mountain Railroad. Happily
the Act is unlimited in point of time, so that peo-
pie need not be hasty in their deliberations upon
this important enterprise. 1t reads as follows:
/. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Re-
representatives., now met and sitting in General AS
sembly and by the authority of the same, That for

THE FLORIDA INDIANS.

From the tone of the Florida papers we are to in
fer that the recent outrages committed by the Semi
noes have aroused determined spirit of hostility,
which will end in the forcble removal of the Indians
from the State, or their utter determination. Much
excitement prevails throughout the State and meet
ings have been held to take action for the defence of
the settlements calling upon the authorities for aid
and providing for the equipment Of volunteer COM
panes to be placed in the service. The resolutions
passed by one of these meetings at Tampa, are sub
joined:-
Resolved That it is the sense Of this meeting that
the Indians are now in settled state of hostility and
that the exposed state of the frontier requires mme-
diate protection, and that respectfully call upon
the General Government and Governor of the State
to furnish the necessary protection to the citizens
and take immediate steps for the speedy and forcble
removal of those sayages, and necessary, to wage
O war of determination against them. ...
RESOLVED, That we earnestly request the people Of
every county in the State to hold pubic meetings,
and petition the authorities of the General and State
Government to adopt Immediately such means as
may be necessary to remove the, remainder Of the
Seminoles to the West without delay.
Resolved That we recommend that the people Of
this State submit to no truce or compromise with
these Indians until the last one is elected from
territory.
,Resolued, That we recommend to the citizens Of
this country, to organize two or more companies of
volunteers and tender them to the proper authori-
es to be used for the protection of the frontier and
the prosecution of the war.

FROM THE WEST.

We have several important items Of intelligence
from the Pacific coast by the arrival of the steam
ship Northern Light A telegraphic dispatch in the
Columbia Times contains the following:-
Another Fillibustering expedition, FIVE hundred
strong, had landed in Lower California. .
The Indian war in Oregon is becoming more and
more serious and threatens to be long and bloody
struggle. 1t will probably cost the United States as
much time money and trouble as did the Florida
war The enemy is posted in mountain Businesses,
every portion Of which is known to them, while our
soldiers are entirely ignorant Of the localities. They
ore also more numerous, quite as warlike, better
armed and equipped, more energetic and better pro-
visoned than were the Seminoles. tSaugh-
ter q. s. A. had been shot while sitting in the door
of his tent and an engagement between the Indians
and the Volunteers at Walla Wel.a had taken place,
in which so Indians were killed and wounded, and
2Owhites. General Wool was arranging prelimina-
ries for on early campaign against the hostile in
dians.
On the Isthmus all is quiet. Walker is succeed
ing in his administrative reform, and numbers are
joining his ranks from California and the United
States. ... .'r

PHYSIOLOGY,

The reader will find in another column on enter
tanning and we'll written notice of DR.. LADoRDE's
Physiology, from the pen of q distinguished phys-
clan of Columbia. The article, which, it will be re-
membercd. was promised US too three months ngo,
has been on our table for several weeks; but until
the present issue, has been unavoiaably crowded
out 1t is not necessary that We should add any
good word of our own in behalf of this capital treatise
on Physiology; indeed we have already put in con-
tribution our stock of eucomiums. Every one in
want Of a new book alike useful and interesting will
do well to call at ADIcKEs and WITuERs' store and
procure copy. The editor of the Montgomery
(Ala., J Mail ':borrowel" a copy lately, and among
other paragraphs in reference to it has penncd the
following:-
Some men have the gift of induing any subject
they touch with pen, with certain attractivencss,
however unscductvc may be under ordinary treat
mcnt. Such men, of all others, should write books
for the student They are the gentlemen ushers of
literature and science, and need want no proudcr
calling Such writer is Prof. LaBUrde, and such
book is his Physiology All other school trcatiscs
on the subject that We have seen, are very lame
skeletons. Here We have perspcuous exposition
OF the general principles, little encumbcred as
possible with mere technical learning; aud these
general principles are drought home" constantly to
the mind in illustrations from the n.pace of
life. The knowledge is given in connection with the
demonstration of its practical value; the principles
of Physiology are shown in their thousand relations

MUSIC! NIUSIC!l

Mr. KERN, Professor of Music in the Female Col
lege, informs the public, in his advertisement that
has on hand frstratc Piano for sale, and that he
will furnish instruments of different styles and prices
at small advance on New-York prices. lie is q
thoroughly accomplished musician, and in the selec-
ton of good instruments well as in repairing and
tuning, he is fully competent to give satisfaction
In reference to Worccstcrs Pianos take the fol-
lowing from the Ncw-York Commercial advertiser, o
paper worthy of reliance
1.-THE result of the exhibition of musical instru-
mcnts in the Exposition Unirerseue at Paris, las
shown that American mechanics excel the Europeans
in the manufacture of pianos; and we believe it is
quite safe to say that no better pianos made in
any part of the world than those now made in New
York city. We have examined several instruments
from the factory of Mr. II. WORCESTER, that are so
elegant in form, and pure and powerful in tone,
that We doubt whether they can be surpassed"

THE ENCLOSURE ACT.

The first step towards the consummation of the
idea of general Enclosure System in this State was
made at the last session of the Legislature, by the
passing of an ct to authorize the erection of Gates
upon oil such roads as are not public highways.
If VIC are to judge from the number of petitions an
nually presented to the Legislature for the granting
of this privilege in special cases, the Act will meet
with the cordial approval of the masses of our peO-
pie. 1t certainly could be applied so as to save many
rod of fencing in every neighborhood. Our read
ers will understand that the provision relates to such
roads as ore not under the supervision of the Com
mssioners denominated technically, "privatc
paths" The Act is as follows -
/. Belt enacted by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives, now met and sitting in General Assem-
bly,, and by the authority of the same, That from
and after the first day of January next it shall be
lawful for any citizen of this State, over whose land
any road may pass, other than public highway, to
erect gates thereon and that the persons owning or
erecting such gates shall be liable to be indicted for
nuisance if they fail to keep them in good order.
2. That in case any person or persons shall inter-
fere with injure, destroy, wilfuy leave open any
such gates such person persons shall be liable to
indictment as for misdemeanor.

EXPLANATORY.

We are surprised to learn that in some portions
of the District we made responsible fora misap-
SPOON, in the Senate, in regard to the Bi to con-
fine the Jurisdiction of in small and mean
causes to their respective Beats" This Bill was in
troduced by Mr.. MOSES, of Sumter, and, rs far as
We know, Col WITHERsPooN had no agency whatever
either in introducing or passing the measure. The
only reference made tot, in the letter of Decem-
ber 10th, is as follows
"Giving the list of Magistrates reminds me that
Col. WITHERspooS has given notice of his intention
to introduce Bill to provide for an additional Mag
istrate in Yorkville and also that Bill has passed
the Senate confning the jurisdiction Of Magistrates
in small and mean to their respective Beats"

THE METHODIST CHURCH.

The following official summary of statistics in ref
erence to the membership of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, South, was furnished by the Secretary
of the South Carolina Conference, Rev. P. A. NJ.
WILLIAMS
Local Elders 76; Local Deacons, 70; Licentates,
81. Whites in full connection, 30,GS2; Whites on
probation, 1886. Colored in full connection, 49,,
933: Colored on probation, 5,753.
"Compared with last year, there is decrease of
Local Deacons an increase of 10 Licentiates, and
of All white and decrease of SIS colored mem.
bers. The decrease in the colored arises from the
fact that at previous conference one colored mis-
sion, with 236 members in full connection, was
thrown overheard, and at the late conference one
colored mission reported only 35 members, whereas
there was much larger number of members in that
mission; and further, from some of the circuits
year ago, imperfect returns were made. 1t is very
likely that there is an actual increase in the coored
as in the white membership, but it will not so ap-
near in the minutes"

the robbery of the mails, in February last, while
acting in the capacity Of Mail Agent on the Char

dctment, based upon the loss of money mailed by
Messr-. MOORE & RASEY, Of this place, to Messrs.

"The argument on the first indictment against T.
J. Eccles, late Mail Agent on the Columbia and
Charlotte Road, for robbing the mail, was concluded
yesterday by G. G. Memminger, on the part of the
Judge Gilchrist delivered an able and
explicit charge to the Jury, reviewing the whole Of

the greatness to decline power when offered to
them There is but one man who stands out
on the canvass of history Illuminated with the
glory Of having had the magnanimity to decline
power. There he is, [pointing to the portrait
Of Washington j but no people in ancient or
modern times have had the magnanimity to de-
clue power. The people of the North cannot
decline it. That party, therefore, which pla-
ces itself upon the position of giving power to
the North, will eventually succeed; and when
that parry does succeed, in my opinion, the
Union will be at an end. I say it in no spirit
of threat, at all I am merely explaining my
position. I think that this sectional anti-sla-
very party will succeed at the North, and, there
fore, that revolution will be inevitable But
I do not desire it; far, far from it. All we ask
of you at the North is, to administer the Con-
stitution according to the spirit in which your
fathers adopted it; the spirit Of concession,
compromise, and concord to administer the
Government in the spirit in which it was ad-
ministered for the first quarter of century;
and then you will find the people of the South
loyal to the Union, and no one more so than
myself. What a glorious spectacle it would
be if such state of things could exist in
stead of this, the master branch of the Gov
ernment, being paralyzed and disorganized, it
would be in action, giving vitality to the work
ings of our Government; and the hearts of
our twenty-five millions of people would beat
in harmonious unison! Why do we hear of
treaties abrogated, of threats of sending naval
ornaments to hover upon our coasts? Why do
the masts of hostile ships, perhaps at this very
moment, cast their malignant shadows over our
seas }? Because our country is torn to pieces,
discordant, distracted by the war one portion
of the Confederacy have declared against the
institutions of the other portion. I have the
most melancholy forebodings as to the ultimate
consequences growing out Of this sectional
crusade. But, oh! that it may be otherwise |!

SNOW.

Friday night last we were again made lively by
generous falling of snow, which covered the ground
to the depth of from six to ten inches Our world,
Saturday morning, looked as lovely and pure as
young bride, all decked out in raiment Of virgin
whiteness. Again we have had merry while, keep
ing time to the Ginning of merry sleigh-bells; but
just as one does with the ghead" after frolick,
we are now paying for the fun dearly. Such amud-
dy, "sloshy," watery splashy time of it, the oldest
inhabitant never saw. Just so, in this world of
compensations, those who enjoy the-music must pay
the piper!
From our exchanges We learn that the storm hos
been general throughout the country; visiting many
places with an almost unexampled severity.
