PoMERoY, TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1857.

ant. Commander Davis, who was pecu-
liarly fitted for it, having been ordered to

placed temporarily under the Chief of the
Bureau Of Ordinabco and photography.
The Secretary recommends that the Exec
utive place the Nautical Almanac" under
the charge of one 81 the Naval Professors

The Patent once.

By synoptical statement furnished to
the Interior Department by the commits
sioner of Patents, which treats of matters
pertaining to that Office up to the 18th Of
November, we are put in possession Of the
following: ~
Previous to the year 1853, the highest
number Of patents issued in any one year
was ,079, which wasin 1849. In 1853
the number was only 958. In 1854 it in
creased to 1909, and in l855, it was aug
mented to 2,024-
From small beginnings the Patent Of
fec has grown into prportions compara-
lively gigantic. Half a century since the
whole revenue of the Office did not exceed
81 500 per annum, which was all appro-
priated to the payment of one clerk, who
transacted the whole business of the office.
The income of the present year will be
about $500, 900, which will still be scarce
ly sufficient to defray the contingent ex-
penses of the Office, with its one hundred
examiners, clerks, and other employees.
If we compare the present condition ol
the Office with what it was few years
since, we shall find that during the foul
years previous to 1853, the average annual
number of applications for patents was
1,52a, while for the four years from 1855
inclusive, such annual average number vii
fall but little short of four hoasandi
The number of patents annually in
creased during the former period averages
900. During the latter it will be abou
1850. For the current year the whole
numberof applications made, the whole
number of patents granted, and the whole
amount Of revenue received, will respect
lively be at least double to what they wert
in any one year period 70 1883,

Abstract of the General Ian d
Office Report.

The report of the General Land Office
is of more than usual length, covering a
period of five quarters, ending 3Oth Sep
tember, 1856, and giving various subjects
of its jurisdiction, and all the operations
of the land system. of the United States
lands sold and disposed of during the pc
riod covered by tle report. There were
sold for cash lO,o62, l07.l9 acl es of the
public lands; and located with military
bounty land warrants 1886, ,240a 0acres; Sc
lected and reported under swamp grants
6,O36, 974.39 and appropriated by the rail
road grants of May, June and August,
1866, (as estimated, 1875, $50 acres,
making a grand aggregate (including 9TH
er internal improvement selections) of Al
l16, ,396.58 acres of the public domain
disposed of during the five quarters end
ing 3Oth September, 1856. This is a
large increase over the quantity disposed
of during the five quarters preceding.
While the sales for cash have greatly fallen
off, the disposal of Congressional grants
and locations of land warrants has more
than proportionably increased. The ta-
bles accompanying the report showing the
sales, locations, swamp selections, &c, are
very full.
Lands to no inconsiderable extent have
been proclaimed and offered at public sale
during the year 1856; the present policy
of the office being to secure them to the
actual settlers under the pre-emption laws,
rather than to favor speculation therein,
by precipitating public sales of large
quantities beyond the means of settlers to
purchase. With the view of making this
the permanent policy of the office, the re-
port recommends slight modification of
thet pre-emption laws. Other amendments
for the equitable adjustment Of conflicting
settlements upon unsuryeyed lands, are
recommended.
The surveys during the year ending 30th
September, 1856, Of which plats have
been returned and approved, amount to
1s,873, 500 acres, of which 9,991,e84
acres are on the Pacific coast, Extensive
surveys have been made, which have not
yet been reported. The surveys of 1856
and those reported in 1856, amount to
41,118,443 acres, of which 17,573,354
acres are in California, and the Territories
of Oregon, Washington, Kansas, Nebras'
ka and Utah.

Commerce ana Navigation.

From apublic document issued from the
Treasury Department, being report of the
Commerce and Navigation of the United
States for the year ending June, 1856, we
take the following facts, which may not
prove entirely uninlerAating to cur read
ers:
The value of the total exports of the
growth, produce and manufacture of the
United States for the yearis $246, 708, ,553.
Of this, cotton constitutes over one-third,
OF $S8, l43,S44, Tobacco $l4.719,468,
Flour $1O,806,G08, Corn $685., ,57l,
Beef $2,60O,1l7, Picked Pork $4, $780,
079, &C., &c.
OF the product of foreign countries,
and exported from this country, there were
$8,606, 475 worth of merchandise free of
duty, and ofarticl IS paying duty $19,64l
818, making the total value of exports for
the year 1875, 1 56,8 ,846.
The amount of goods, wares and mer-
chandise imported into this country du-
ring the year was $262, 1853, $50. We
import S14,418,887 worth of Brown Su-
gar, $3.502, 37O of Molasses, Queensware,
China, DC. $3,7l767O, of Liquors, in
Guiding Wine, Brandy, Beer, Ale and Por-
ter we import s6s e6a3S8; Tobacco, m
cluding onutf and Cigars $4,079,669.
We import more in value of Liquors
and Tobacco, than we do Wollen piece
goods, or Worsted piece goods, and one
half more than the entire importations of
Linen goods, bleaehed and unbleached.
The importation of Coffee amounts to
$16, 1879, 926, and of Tea to Sc, 93O,O86,
or about the same in value as the importa-
ton of Liquors.
The luxuries we import make up about
three-thirteenths of our entiIe imports, or
about sixty millions of dollars WORTH
This includes Tobacco, Liquors, Teas,
Coffee, Chocolate, DC, &c.
The entire tonnage Of vessels built dur
ing the year in the United States, was
582, 450 tons, Of which the State of Maine
alone built 215,9O4 tons, New York 49,
231, and Massachusetts, 500. The en-
tire amount built by the Southern States
was only 54,28l tons, being only one
fourth the amount built by the State of
Maine alone. South Carolina built one
vessel of SO tons burden, while Massachu-
setts with a much less sea coast built IA
vessels, with an aggregate of 1869 tons
burden. The State of Virginia with up
wards of 10000 square miles of territory
built 80 vessels with 1903 tons burden,
while Rhode Island, with only about one
sixteenth the area built7, ,86l tons burden.
The State of Ohio built GA vessels with a
burden of 1851 tons, while North Car
olina with one-fougth largerarea, and much
larger sea coast, built ~ vessels of 1854
tons burden; while Louisiana built 13 yes
sells with but S72 tons burden. The entire
number of vessels built was 1894. m

R. BIsSEL.

The truth is safe. We need have no
anxiety as to its destiny. 1t has an abso-
lutte existence, entirely unaffected by the
belief or disbelief of man. The existence
of error is only relative and subjective. 1t
has no being apart from the mind by which
it is temporarily harbored, and it is, there
fore, simply what the mind which harbors
it makes I. Error, therefore, may be
crushed, exploded, anGihilated. To des-
troy the belief in truth ie2ves the truth
itself unframed, unaffected. When Bry-
ant says: "Truth crushed to earth will
rise again." the only defect in his PROPOSE
ton is its virtual implication that truth
may be crushed to earth--may be even
temporarily and partially defeated. This
is in the nature of the case impossible
The faith of its yotaries may indeed be
shaken and destroyed. They may be be-
guiled from their steadfastness or entangled
in the meshes, or lost in the labyrinths Of
falsehood. The advocates of truth may
be discom6tted and overthrown; truth it.
self never. The minds which have cher
ished it may disown it and cease to feel its
enlightcning and benignant power, but the
injury cannot extend to the truth itself.
All this may seem tame and common place,
but it involves distinction which is pract-
ically overlooked. The point we wish to
press is this: Truth is itself, invariable,
and its seeming variations are simply the
changing relations sustained to it by the
human mind.
We see, then, the importance to each
mind of dealing honestly with itself and
with the truth. Men often weave an elab-
crate web of sophistry, and fancy they
have fairly entangled in it some uDwel-
come doctrine; in fact, all that they have
entangled is in their own minds. We
may sophisticate our own understandings;
we may blind them to the perception, or
deaden them to the power of truth, but
the truth itself we can neither unmake nor
modify, nor adulterate. 1t is necessarily
and absolutely pure. 1t lives with the life
of its Eternal Author. 1t remains free
from the contagion Of falsehood with which
man seeks to adulterate and corrupt it. 1t
rises above the mountains Of elaborate
sophistry and misstatement under which
we may seek to bury it. The contagion
but reaches our own soul. The accumu.
lations of error but weigh down our own
understandings. How important, then
that We ask sincerely, and seek honestly to
answer the question, "What is truth ?"

THE PLANET JUPITER.-Jupiter is now
the evening star, and will continue so until
April 4, 1857. Jupiter is the largest of
all the planets, and nextto Venus. the most
brilliant. 1t is one thousand three hun
dred times larger than the earth, is about
four hundred and ninety-iive million eight
thousand miles distant from the sun, and
is accompanied by four moons, which help
tito its light, Its twelve years revolving
around the sun, and turns about on its axis
once in ten hours, which gives it a velocity
at its equator of four thousand six hundred
and fifty eight miles in a minute, ora speed
of two thousand greater than that of a
cannon ball. Its axis being nearly perpen-

REApING MACHINES VS.. HAND LABOR
The English Agricultural Gazette calcu-
lates that if manufacturers could only dis
tribute 10000 reapers before another har-'
vest, It would Be equivalent to more than
letting loose all England's standing army
on the grain fields of Great Britain. And

means atour command this year, we should

our crop being FIVE days in the rain. Sup
posing these machines to have been week
at work, 500, 900 acres would have yield
ed 100000 quarters of grain, worth
more both in money and as food, by much

ground would have been cleared a fort
night earlier than it will for autumn cult
vation and the other sources of employ
ment which energetic agriculture fur
nishes. -r ta
