The CHINcHA IsLANns-The Chincha Is
lands-three in number-are situated about
ten miles from the Peruvian coast, and are
one mile apart from each other The north
ern island is about one mile in cirenmfer-
ence, and most Of the guano hitherto ex-
ported has been taken from that island.
The middle island is somewhat smaller.
Considerable quantities are now being ta-
ken, from it. The south island is about the
size Of the secohd-no guano has yet been
taken from it. The quantity now taken
away is about S00,0 tons annually-ot
which zoe, 900 are brought to the United
States, 300, 900 carried to Great Britain,
and 300, 900 tons to various ports on the
continent Of Europe. There are about 100
vessels at the islands all the time--averng-
ing 1000 tons capacity. The average time
of loading is forty days. About half the
guano is exhausted from the north island,
and where they are now digging in the
middle of the island, it is lis feet deep.
Scientific gentlemen have guaged the depth
Of the guanO at numerous points, aud taken
superficial measurements, from which they
estimate that the three islands will yield
100000 tons per annnm for twelve or lif.

FACTS FOR TUE PEoPIE.-The Black Re
publicans tell us they want to restore the
country TO the policy of the earlier presi
dents. They oppose the policy of leaving
the people of the territories perfectly free
TO form and regulate their domestic insti
tutions in their own way, and advocate the
right and duty Of congress to prohibit
slavery in the territories. Let us see il the
earlier presidents sustained any such policy
as this.
We assert, then, and challenge contra
diciion, that no law was enacted by con-
gress prohibiting slavery in the territories,
under the administrations Of Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, Madison or Jackson
In all the territorial laws enacted under
these administrations, the people OF the
territories were left, as they are by the Ne
braska bill, perfectly free to form and regu-
late their domestic institutions in their own
way. For leaving the people of the terri
tories thus free, the democrats are denoun-
ced as slavery extensionists Were WASH
ington, Adams, jefferson, Madison and
jackson slavery eXtensionists ? Like dem
ocrats of to-day, they, too, were opposed to
congressional interference with the domes-
tic institutions Of the territories.
Another dogma Of the black republicans
is, that no more slave states shall be ad-
mitted into the Union. And in this, too,
they pretend to sustain the policy of the
earlier presidents Yet, under the admin
istmtions above named, the slave states Of
Kentucky, Tennessee. Louisiana. Mississip-
pi, &C., were admitted into the Union.
Washington himself signed the bills ad-
mitting Kentucky and Tennessee ! Such
is the false and delusive humbuggery Of the
black republicans, in pretending to favor
the policy Of tho earlier presidents Wash
ington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and
jackson, aud oil the earlier statesmen and
patriots of distinction, opposed the princi-
pies and the policy now advocated by the
black republicans, and sustained the policy
advocated by the democrats,
Let the people remember these facts

How They MAKE LAcE.-Belgium sup.
plies us with more laces than all the other
countries Of Europe together, and laces oi
the rarcst kind, aud finest quality, and the
most artistic design. Brussels point point
dc Nen'cc, antique, point d'Alcncon, point
dc gaze, Brussels point diapers, are the
products of Belgium industry and ingenu,
ity, In fact, lace is indigenous in Belgium
aud has been so for generations. While
other arts have been deSerting the land
that gave them birth, aud, like transplant
ted flowers, hourishcd better upon foreign
soil, lacemaking remained the national art,
The Distinguishing characteristic, the indus.
rial specially Of Belgium. Kohl, the Prus-
sian traveller, accounts for it by the fact
that lacemaking was a feminine occupation
and as women are less Inclined to travel than
men, the arts in which they exceled were
more likC y to remain stationary. In some
parts Of Belgium the flowers are made sep
aratcly, and then worked into the ground,
wlNe Others carry on the pattern and the
design together There is no arbitrary
rule in this respect Indeed, every lace
district has some peculiarity of its own
which distinguishes the lace made there
from every other. The division of the la
Dor is carried en- to such an extent that it
is almost impossible to form a correct idea
of the time required for any given guam
tity but there is no donbt that this sys-
TEN eXpedites the work aud renders it more
perfect. Indeed, it must, if there is any
truth in the old proverb for the same per-
son, being always engaged in the same
thing, cannot fail TO become proficient.
One continues to work at the ground, one
at the flowers, and when they have finish
cd, another works one into the other, and
the task is complete. Some work the fig
nre and the ground conjointly, and others
form their patterns by piercing holes, or
cutting out pieces Of the ground. The
thread required for lace making. is manu-
factured in Belgium, and the finest kind is
made in cellars, and kept there, lest its ex-
poSurc to the atmosphere would make it
liable to break. This thread sells for 1900
francs pound and it has been known in
some instances to reach as high as 10, 900
rraucs. What wonder is it; then, that q
lace dress costs 81, 800 or lace trimming for
one 5000

The Shadows in the Valley.

There's q mossy. shady valley,
Where the waters wind and aow,
And the daisies sleep in winter,
Meath q coyerlid Of snow;
And violets, blue-eyed yiolets,
Bloom in beauty in the spring.
And the sunbeams kiss the wavclets,
Till they seem to laugh and sing.
But in autumn, when the sunlight
Crowns the eedar-0overed hill,
Shadows darken in the valley
Shadows ominous and still;
And the yellow leaves, like banners
or an Elm host that's ned,
Ting'd with gold and royal purple,
Flutter sadly overhead.
And those shadows, gloomy shadows,
Like dim phantOms on the ground,
Stretched their dreamy length forever
On daisy covered mound;
And loved her, yes, loved her,
But the angels loved her, too,
So she's sleeping in the valley,
Meath the sky so bright and blue.
And no slab Of pallid marble,
Rears its white and ghastly head,
Telling wanderers in the valley
OF the virtues Of the dead;
But lilly is her tombstone,
And a dew drop, pure and bright.
Is the epitaph an angel wrote
In the Stiffness Of the uight.
And I'm mournful. very mournful.
For my soul doth ever crave
For the fading Of the shadows
From that little woodland grave.
For the memory Of the loved one,
From my soul will never part;
And those shadows in the valley,
Dim the sunshine Of my heart.

| SENATE.--Mr. Butler resumed his remarks
and in further apology for Mr.. Brooks ut
tack, said where the Legislature Of Massa-
chnsetts saws the attack was cowardly let
them try him in any manner they choose
(Applause.)
/ Mr.. Stuart of Michigan, said the propre-
ties of the Senate were too often disturbed
! by applause, and if the galleries could not
be occupied by gentlemen, they should be
cleared.
The chair inquired whether the gentleman
from Michigan moved that the galleries be
cleared.
Mr.. s. said he did not.
MIR. Fessendsn, In justice to the galleries,
said the applause came from the floor of the
Senate.
Mr.. Butler said he should go on in such n
manner that no one would applaud again.
Mr.. Brooks, he said, assaulted Mr.. Sumner
for no other purpose but to disgrace him.
Brooks was one of the best fellows he knew,
though impetuous, no doubt, and quick at
resentment. Mr.. Sumner received two flesh
wounds, and being rather handsome did not
expose himself. Had he been in the army,
and had not gone out Of it the next day after
the fracas, he would have deserved to be
cashiered.
Mr.. Butler concluded his remarks by
claiming that he had convicted Sumner of
error, misrepresentation and calumny.
Mr.. Wilson replied, maintaining Summers
position, by stating that from the Doth of
May, Sumner had been confined to his room
for the greater part OF the time in consc-
quence of the assault, and would be unable
TO attend TO business for some time yet
Butler had taken u full revenge for the speech
delivered by Sumner This is the way it
should have been met, and not by blows
Wilson endorsed Summers remarks relative
to South Carolina, and referred to former
speeches Of Butler, to show that ever since
he has been in the Senate his replies to Sum
ner have bean in offensive epithets, calcu-
lated to injure the feelings of any man, and
insisted that Butler was the first aggressor.--
Wilson said he would speak his feelings free
ly No one held over him plantation whips.
He would speak the more freely in debate,
because his colleague had been stricken
down.
Butler said Wilson had no right to go back
to old reports to show cause for Summers
his speech was in reply to Buffers speeches
Of this session. He asked Wilson how many
battles there were in Mass. during the Revo-
lation. Wilson replied not many, because
