SUNFLowERs A PREVENTIVE OF AGUE.-
Lieut.. Maury in an article communicated to the
Rural New Yorker, maintains that the growing
of sunfowers around dwelling located near a
fever and ague region, ndutraizes the miasma
in which that disease originates; and seems to
support the theory by successful experiment.
He says that an acre of sunfowers will absorb
during their growth MANY thousand gallons of
water more than supplied by the rains They
are of easy cultivation, and the seeds which are
very valuable, find a ready market at the drug
store. The theory or science Of the experiment
is this: The ague and fey. er poison is set free
during the process of vegetable decay, which
poison is absorbed BY til. rank growing sun
flower, again elaborated into vegetable matter,
and SO retained until cold. weather sets in. He
reports the results of SOME experiments made.
and also suggests that water lilies planted in
marshes would have sirtiiar beneficial effect
The New York Commercial Advertiser re-
marks: eli on second trial the result proves
equally favorable the practical benefit of the
discovery will be great inGeed, and Lieut.. Mau
ry will have added another TO the evidences he

The SILVER MooN.-The Louisville Courier
says that captain Greenaw the Napoleon of
the river, has just added another to his list of
boats, the Silver Moon. He had her built ex-
pressly for Red river, but at the same time she
will prove of servicein any river where business
is done and low water to contend with. This
boat is very staunchly built, with capacity for
$50 tons. The hull is 1856 feet in length, with
SO feet beam and s. feet hold. She is a regu-
lar wheeler, and full grown, fair proper
toned, good looking Silver Moon. Her ma
chinery has been tested and works we'll, being
put up by Roach q Long. The boilers were
built by Joe Mitchell, the hull by J. Collins,
and the cabin by S. W. Downs The chande
liers, and a newly invented water gauge, were
from the Novelty works. This water gauge is
the patent of Mr. Hoyt, of Boston. It is the
most simple, and at the same time ingenious
contrivance we have ever seen, consisting of
two pipes, one conducting steam from the sur
face of the boiler, and the other water from the
dresser below the boiler. The pipes direct to
The sides of the boiler and meet at the water
line, where an index is stationed with pointers.
which are elevated or depressed as the water
rises or falls in the boilers. The Silver Moon is
IN charge of captain Greenlaw, her owner.
The Silver Moon arrived at Shreveport few
days ago, and is one of the most admirable low
water boats we have ever examined.

democratic organs have been trying to make
it appear that the American party in Pennsyl
vania have fused with the black republicans in
the support Of Wilmot for governor. This is
fabrication The American presses and the
American party of Pennsylvania deny any such
proceeding, and notice has been issued, and
signed by over five thousand Americans, call
ing a convention of the American party, at Lam
caster, on the Goth Of the present month, to
nominate straightout American ticket for the
State officers The Altoona meeting the pro-
ceedings Of which are paraded in the columns
of the democratic organs in the south as the
proceedings of the American State convention
of Pennsylvania, are thus spoken of by the
Philadelphia Sun:
t'Thirty nine persons met at Altoona, as
suming to be the know nothing State council of
Pennsylvania when attempt was made to boil
ster up the black republican candidate for gov
ernor, by endorsing his Americanism On a
vote being taken, there were 22 in favor Of such
an endorsement, and II against it. The IL i'm
medlately seeded and leftthe room, declaring
that it was no business of the council, if this
could be called one, to endorse candidates, as
when the order was alive that business belong
ed to the subordinate councils. This maenifi-
| cent farce was played out by the remaining 90,
| electlng 81 delegates to represent the order in
the national council. The number belonging
to the State council, previous to the disruption
of the order, was upwards of thousand."A
This Altoona farce was altogether a black
republican trick. But it was unsuccessful
The Americans of Pennsylvania are unwilling
to fuse with any party that is not strictly ma
tional and determined to promote true Ameri-
can principles. The black republicans are vie
ing with the democracy in their efforts to at
tract foreign influence to the aid of their party.
and there is nothing in common between the
black republicans and Americans more than
there is between the democrats and the Amer
leans. .

Hirh Prices of Food.

they have 70 pay for their daily food. Meat is
high, and -four is high, and meal is high, and veg

are at home and not purchased every day.
But IL is needless to cry out against the prices.
They will continue as they are, if they do not in

In AGRICULTURAL pursuits. The soil is not sufficiently

they drain the older country of its spare capital

and to the Democrats, it was as sad and mourn
ful an occasion as the funeral sof mother.
Oh such a victory, so decisive and over
whelming in its character, never witnessed
before. Hatton positively annihilated Harris
This may seem an exaggeration, but it is only
sober, earnest truth. | know that such glO-
rious triumph as Hatton achieved over Har-
rs at Camden, in their first conflict, was not
anticipated by our American friends. But, it
was certainly an unparalleled victory by the
admission of Democrats, and even virtually
acknowledged by Gen. Harris himself Not a
partial victory, not mere triumph of wit
but wholesale victory of wit, eloquence, and
logic on every topic of debate from first to
last. l have not time at present to go into the
details of the speeches, but assure you, that
you may rely with the most implicit conf

noblest stamp, and worthy of the noblest
cause that ever enlisted the attention Of the
people of Tennessee, and abundantly able TO
triumph over mis- opponent anywhere.

EDIroRs OF THE PATRIOT: Believing the follow
ing information might be interesting to many Of
the readers of the PATRIOT, have thought proper
to write to you on the subject to wit: The subject
of Western Emigration. There is now in this
place and vicinity effort being made to organize
a company for the promotion of Western Emigra-
ton, upon plan something like this: Some fifty
or seventy-fve persons, (heads OF families prine-
pally,) will be required to take stock in sums no.
less than one hundred dollars each, and as much
more as they may desire-making IN the aggregate
some fifteen or twenty thousand dolars-Whieh
stock will be placed In the hands, or under the
troll OF agent, TO be selected by those who take
stock, for the purpose OF purchasing suitable
site for town or business point, on or near some
naVigable stream, surrounded with rich and cheap
lands; lay of lots aud prepare them for sale;
build grist and sa~-ml; procure, at the most
convenient point, sufficient amount OF provisions
to supply those who may hrst emigrste to the
place and to make any and AL improvements ne
eessary to promote the rapid settlement Of the
town; and remove, as Tar as possible, all the pri
vutions and Inconvenience of settling 10 new
country The joint Interest will be only the
amount Of stock tsken-any other means belong
