A PREDICTION VERIFIED

President Buchanan returned from his
mission to England last April, and his
friends in Philadelphia applied to the Know
Nothing councils of that city for the use of
Independence Hall for his eption-but
were refused. The Journal of Commerce
thus noticed and prophesed in regard to
the matter:
1.-The Know Nothing councils of Phla-
deiphia have refused the use Of the Hall of
Independence for the reception of the Hon.
James Buchanan. Never mind the people
will furnish him hall, after the 18th of
March next, which viii be sufficient for all
practical purposes. >
The prophesy, says the Bridgeport Far
mer, has been fulfilled and in addition to
this, the Know Nothing council has been
turned out of power, meek and heels" by
an unprecedented majority. This indicates
a very bad state of things for freedom
aud free speech, in bleeding Kansas

The Effect Of Distribution.

The Washington Star speaking Of the eff
feets of distributing the public lands among
the States, says;
Apropos of this land distribution idea -
We stand by President Buchanan's wise and
patriotic policy of deyoting the means of the
General Goyernment-lands,a and surplus
money in the treasury--to paying its debts
and building up Navy commensurate with
the rapid strides of onr foreign commerce,
The means of doing these things must be
raised hereafter by indirect taxation, if those
in hand now, be squandered either in ex-
trayagant or special legislation, or by deposit
with or division among the States. In rails
ing those means Virginia must bear more
than her share of the necessary taxation; as
under any tariff on imports, the South and
the agricultural West bear nearly the whole
brunt. For every dollar of the surplus and
every dollars worth of the public lands Vir-
ginia would get (were this latest invention
of unauthorized Federalism to create neees-
sity for high protection, to triumph) her
people would have to pay it back four fold
Once, at least in paying their share of the
future taxation to make it up to the General
Government when that comes to pay of its
debt and increase its Navy, as must sooner
or later be done; and three times, in ''pro-
lection" to the industrial interests of the
North whose profits grow out of the fact that
the duties exacted on foreign goods Ike theirs
enable them to demand and secure from the
Southern and Western consumers prices,
higher than those at which such goods man
ufaetured abroad would sell for, but fer the
duty upon them.
For every pound of iron the Virginia far
MGR uses, he pays one quarter of its price to
the Pennsylvania iron master-one quarter
more than he would be required to pay for
it were it duty free. That is, if he uses
American iron, then the extra twenty-five
per cent. paid by him goes directly into the
United States Treasury. Otherwise into
the strong box of the Pennsylvania iron
master. Three fourths, at least, of all such
goods as pay duties when imported, that Vir-
ginia consumes, are manufactured at the
North. So she pays, as protection, to III
crease the profits of Northern manufacturing
capital three times as much as she pays into
the National Treasury for the support of the
General Government. The Wig. and all
other supporters of the schemes of distrlb-
uting the General Governments present
means at command, whether in lands or mo-
ney, are for perpetrating this infamous sys-
TEN of pluudering the agriculturing portion
of the community for the benefit Of manu-
featuring capital. - WASHINGTON Star.

ORIGIN OE CGAI


DR.. David Dale Gwen, in recent lecture
at Nincennes upon Agricultural Chemistry.
alluaes to the origin of coal =
The Doctor is not a believer in the theory
of the vegetable origin of coal, but, in the
language OF the Gazette. is an advocate Of
the more modern and rational idea that coal
is the condensation or the qualification of
the vast volumes Of the carbonic gases that
surrounded the world before the tempera-
ture of the earth and its atmosphere had
been reduced to a condition to support
animal life. 1t was the gradual reduction
Of temperature, and the absorption Of the
carbonic gases-so fatal to animal life-into
vegetables and woods, and the condensation
Of them into those vast store houses of fuel
or coal strata-for the future use of man.
that prepared the earth first for the rougher
animals, and finally for a habtation for man.
This is undoubtedly the true theory, and
most beautifully illustrates the benefcent
providence of the Creator, who transformed
the most fatal substance to mans existence
in the earl " periods of the world, to be one
of his chiefest blessings in the maturer ages
of The earth, when man should be fitted for
and need its use. And thus are all appa-
rent evils upon earth made in His infinite
providence, the basis of great good to the
subjects of the Divine government.
In reference to manuring, the Doctor re-
marked:
THE idea Of manuring land from the at
mosphero was novel to some, who were sur
prised to learn that the ammonia deposited
by the rain on each acre of land, in a year,
was sufficient, with its accessories, to pro-
duce two tons of vegetable matter. This
explained the difference between rain and
irrigation to plants. The Importance of
preserving the ammonia of manures, by
covering them from the action of the air,
and carrying the drainage from them into
eisterns, to be carried in a liquid over the
land, was made very evident to the farmer"

/ THE CoAcHMAN WHO MARRIED HIS En-
PLoYER's DAUGHTER The N. Y Times of
Saturday has the following in relation to the
late secret marriage between the daughter Of
Mr.. Boxer, wealthy merchant of that city,
and his coachman
Young Dean, the lucky coachman, has f.
nally agreed to give up his wife for a time,
aid accept the pecuniary offers of her friends.
Yesterday his counsel received a letter from
Mr.. Boxers lawyer, proposing that Dean
cities-capital being provided by Mr.. Boxer
and that be should consent to be separat-
ed from his wife for the period Of six months,
correspondence between them being allowed
during that time. Dean is willing to accept
the proposition, and thus the subject is dis
posed of for the present, at least.
The Rev. Mr.. Hatfield, who performed
the marriage ceremony, describes Mr. Dean
as of prepossessing appearance, gentlemanly
address, and with nothing about him to show
that he was Of Irish origin, but the slight
est possible trogue. Mr. Dean called at his
house on Tuesday, the oath of last Februa-
ry, and enquired if Mr.. Hatfield would, on
the following Saturday, tie the IN arriage knot
for him. Mr.. III. assented. On Saturday,
Mr. Dean presented himself and said, his
intended bride, who was engaged as SER
want in gcntlcman's family close By, had
been unable to perfect her arrangements,
and 1t was necessary to postpone the mar
riage until the ensuing Tuesday To this
Mr., II. agreed, appointing the time of day
for the bridal party to call. Tuesday came,
and the minister held himself in readiness to
perform the ceremony but he waited and
they did not appear. Towards evening, how
ever, Deans friends came to the house ard
told the servant, that owing to the Storm OF
the preceding day, the young lady had been
unable to finish ap her household duties
and as she wanted TO remain in her place
some time longer, she did not wish her mar
riage known, but that they would come next
day.
Wednesday morning eame--the couple
also, and their two witnesses with them
Miss Boxer was dressed as became her as
sumed station, not in silk and hoops, noi
sparkling with diamonds. Mr.. Dean wa
neatly alfred, aud acted like well-bre(
gentleman. As the day was muddy, ant
Mr.. HIS parlor had lately been furnished
with a new carpet, it was deemed pruden
that the ceremony should be performed il
the basement, which was coy enough
place, and there the marriage took place
At its conclusion, Dean took from hi
purse roll of bills, from which detaehing
a V, he delicately passed it over, poli;el,
inquiring if that would satisfy the clergy
man. Mr.. RI bowed an affirmative am
the happy party LEFT, Mr.. H. remarking t.
his wife that the lady had evidently the bcs
of that bargain. lie thought no more o
the matter until his attention was called t,
lit on Tuesday last from the statement in III,
papers, when he found that instead as h,
had supposed, of making poor servant cir
happy, he had probably made 4 wealthy fam.

TO STRANG ERS,

Da. JOHNSTON is the only regular Physician a l.
vertisng to cure private complaints. His remedies
and treatment entirely unknown to others. Pre-

portant Surgical operations sufficient guaran-
tee to the afflicted. Those who wish to be speedily
and eifectually relieved should shun the numerous
trifng imposters, who only ruin their health, and
"es,' TAKE NOTICE.
1t is with the greatest reluctance that DR. JOIN
STON permits his card to appear before the public
deeming it uuprotessonal for physician to adver
tise, but unless he did so, the afflicted, especaT
strangers could not fail to fall into the hands OF the
many impudent and unlearned Imposters, with in

CULTURE OF INDIAN CORN.

Is it best to plant on fiat surface, or on
ridges? This is a question which has been
much considered and discussed in Eastern
Virginia. Each practice has had its jealous
advocates. One farmer Of experience and
great success says be never pursues but fat
culture Another farmer who stands high,
said to the writer, that he had tried the fiat
culture one year, and was confident he lost
100 barrels Of corn by it, I have heard
other similar statements on both sides It
seems, however, that there is nov an APP
preach to better understanding of the sub
ject. And the most sagacious eultivators
say that experience has taught that the pro-
priety Of either practice depends entirely or
chiefly on the nature Of the soil. On light,
sandy soils, liable to suffer from wet, the fat
culture usually succeeds best but on stiff
