STEAM THREsuING MACHINE

STEAM THREsuING MAcHINE.-Mr.
Mansfield, one OF the editors of the Gin
cinnatti Gazette, describes the operations
of Steam Threshing Machine he re-
Gently witnessed in one of the interior
counties of Ohio. He says it employ s
an engine Of ten horse power, and thresh-
es sepea hundred bushels of wheat per
day. While running, it threshes two
bushels per minute. The owner of the
machine furnishes three men, and thresh-
es for five cents per bushel. AS the
machine costs 1880. it soon pays for
itself at this rate. In Pickaway county,
Mr.. M. says, there are three hundred
and fifty mowers and reapers employed.

The Last Outrage

Aue Last ''OuLEaSS.
The last 'outrage" in Kansas has
been committed by Governor WALKER.
He has suggested that, in order to pro-
hibit illegal voting and prevent foreign
Intervention at the ensuing elections, it
will be well to require thiee or six
months residence in the Territory as re-
quisitc to an elcctor.
At this ''outrage" republicanism is
horrifed,-especialy in New York and
Ohio, where elections are to be held this
fall. 1t can scarcely credit the evidence
of it's senses that Kansas should be made
SO to suffer. And it embraces the mel
ancholy occasion to shed fresh tears over
the "wrongs of Kansas
Republcanism has forgotten, though
we have not, that in times past it re-
gard.d as one Of the greatest Of "out-
RACES" that there was no law of Kansas
by which a fixed term Of residence was
required as the qualification of n voter,
by reason of which, Missourians cross
ed the line on the day of election, voted,
and returned, thus overwhelming the
resident citizens. Repablicanism has
forgotten this, though we have not, and
the public has not.
Republicanism has also forgotten that
by their famous Topeka constitution six
months residence was required rs pre-
liminary to the right to vote. The Ian
guage of that constitution is that any
person having the other qualifications
required who shall have resided, and
had "his habitation. domicil, house and
place of permanent abode, in the State
of Kansas for sac months preceding tie
election at which he shall offer to vote,
shall,' &c. This is the language OF
the Topeka constitution, which repub-
licanism would seem to have forgotten,
though we have not forgotten it, nor has
the public.
Governor Walkers suggestion is emf
nently proper, in every respect 1t has
been the practice of all the Territories,
when submitting a constitution to the
people preparatory to application for ad-
mission, to require that voters should
have attained cert"in residence. II
the practice is just and proper as gen
eral rule, it is especially just and proper
as applied to Kansas, the purpose of
its application there being to avoid the
very wrongs and troubles which have
occasioned widespread dissatisfaction
to keep out Missouri interlopers on
the one side and abolitionist interlopers
the other side.
Governor Walkers whole course in
Kansas has been singularly fair and con-
sistent. He is entitled to the more ap-
plause for this, because he has encoun-
tered obstacles which would have dis
couraged and broken down any ordinary
man, or driven him to one extreme in
terest or the other in the Territory for
imaginary protection. Governor Walk
er determined his policy in the outset,
and has pursued it undeyiatingly and
firmly.

NEw ENGLAND AND THE SoyTH.-A news
paper sorry is going the rounds how in a certain
New England parish, a difficulty arose about
TIE location Of the iIcw church building, and
the church was rent with the division. The
pastor at length preached melting sermon on
the subject Of union. and the congregation was
dissolved in tears. The next morning Deacon
Jones went over early to see his opponent,
Deacon Shaw, to make an earnest eiioit for
peace, and the following ensued
Deacon J-"Deacon Shaw, haven't slert
wink last night and l've come over to see if
we can't have peace on the subject of the
church building. We must settle the diff
culty.''
Deacon Swell. I'm very happy to hear
you talk SO for, 10 tell the truth, l have al
ways thought that you were 4 little set in your
way
Deacon J.-"Not at all and as proof that
ain not. I've come this morning On purpose to
see you. Now. Deacon Shaw, we must settle
the difficulty, and there is but one way to do it
you must give it up, for can't"
This accommodating spirit Of Deacon
Jones, it occurs to Us, is fairly cxemplfed in
the conduct of New England towards the South,
which demand the slave States mnst give up
all their rights and all the compromised guar
antces of the Constitution, because it can t or

Alleged Cure for Small Fox.

/ The State Department at Washington has
made public a method of treating smallpox,
proposed by DR.. Land2ll, of Brazil, which is to
dissolve little vaccine lymph. "from four to
six drops. in as many .'ounccs Of cold water,
and give to the patient table spoonful cyery
two or three hours ''The favorable result of
this exhibition is, that it mitigatos the symp-
toms, inodifes t." species, and cures the small
pox." Thcse results are certainly all that 60 Id
&c desired Of any remedy, siid if proved to be
the effect of the alleged remedy, would enttle
it to cur most serious and respectful we might
say grateful, consideration. But as the Bost"n
Courier observes it is well known that many of
the most yirulent animal poisons. such as that
of the rattlesnake, the saliva Of rabies, &C.,
when introduced into the stomach, lose all their
poisonous qualities, and may therefore be swal-
lowed with entire impunitv. They invariably
require, in order 10 be effective. to be inserted
into wound of the skin, Or to be applied to an
atraded. or raw surface. This rule. so far as
we know. is universal, and applies therefore to
tn: vaccine virus rs to any other OF III. animal
Ioisons. Instead, therefore, of waiting until
one has the smallpox TO try a measure of the
most certain inutility the Courier gives the cx-
cellcut advice TO take the only known co; rsc to
prevent the possibility of an attack, viz : to be
properly and thoroughly vacciuatcd. 1t will be
Of more value in case of exposure than all the
diamonds of Brazil. or the syrUps of Peru.

Southern Literary MESSENGER.

The Messenger for April is upoh our table,
though we have not yet had leisure for careful
perusal of its contents, which, at glance, appear
to be attractive and interesting. By the way,
there was in the last Messenger apoem, which we
had not read when we noticed the March number,
but to which literary friend has since called our
attention. 1t is "Guy de Mayne," by Miss Susan
Archer Tally, of this city, and is perfect poetic
gem, which would shine in any volume of English
or American poetry we have ever seen. The au-
thor of such production as that ought not to let
her pen sumber. She is capable of great things
We are almost wesried out in invoking people to
encourage Southern literature, and especially our
own Messenger. Suppose it be conceded (Which
we do not concede) that it is inferior In literary
merit and enterprise to abolition periodicals. how
are we to make 1t equal to the best in the land
but by endowing it with "the sinews of war9'-
Periodicals and newspapers require small Cali
fornia at their backs, to become efficient and
successful. Mr.. Thompson has been laborirg for
years, with unflagging zeal and talent, to sustain
the Messenger and, in addition to his own able and
polished pen, he has arrayed around him some Of
the first writer's in the land. Yet who can say
that the Messenger is as popular, even in Virginia
true to the South and the others are conducted by
abotionistsa If it is at all important to Southern
Interests that the current literature of the South
should be derived from healthful sources let us en-
courage Southern periodicals., and first and fore
most among them, the Southern Literary Messen'
