AN ADMIssIoN.-The Washington cor
respondent of the New Orleans Delta, who
seems to be the organ of the most ultra
Southern politicians, III the course of de-
fence of President Pierce, observes:
IA law of political policy opposed To-
the universal sentiment of free people
cannot be executed or enforced without
using the means and appliances of a strong
central power. We have seen this illus
trated in the Fugitive Slave LAWN the,
matter of Kansas-in Cuba-and now in
Nicaragua The South has lost every
thing, while the North passed us with a.
giants stride, enlarging in all the grand
Of material power, addition of

ton. The President has given us all he
could control-his veto power and his mes
sages. The President has accomplished
nothing practically in our favor, simply
because be canont, in a free country, estab-

the people, The will of the people is a.

E7r The ice on the River commence,

EE The ice on the River commenced
moving at this place on Saturday evening,
From its great weight it moved with ire
sistible force, sweeping, in its course,
whatever it came in contact with. We
noticed the wreck Of the City of Wheeling
move from its position with quiet power
that seemed unchecked in the slightest de-
gree by the large cable with which it was
tied to the shore. Fortunately, most of
the boats and barges in this vicinity were
harbored in such positions as to avoid the
inevitable crush that must havo ensued if
the vast unbroken sheet of ice which COW
cred the river had come in contact with
them. We have not heard of any serious
damage in this neighborhood although
the losses in the aggregate must be con-
siderable. At the present writing, { Mon

BRUTAL MURDER IN IowA.-The Vinton
Eagle gives an account of brutal murder
of an orphan boy, Dane by birth, and
bound to one Olisleager, residing in Buck
ingham county, Iowa. Olisleager grew
tired of supporting the boy and compelled
him to sleep on an icy floor, without any
covering, at the same time beating him unf-
til he was covered with bruisesand nine of
his ribs broken, From this outrageous
treatment the boy died on the ped inst,
and Olisleager forced his body into boot
box by breaking his neck and throwing his
head forward on his breast, He was then
about to bury hia victim, when he was ar.
rested and committed to Jail in default Of
$4,000 bail,

STEAMER BosroN SuNE.--We learn that
the ice, on Sunday last gorged against the
barges lying along side Of the steamer Bos-
ton, sinking them. and breaking a hole in
the hull of the Boston about thirty feet
long. She lies sunk, surrounded by the
ice, with the barges under her. This is
reliable, as we have it from one Of our bu-
siness men who conversed with one of the
officers Of the boat yesterday at Wheelers-

Eg- The Coroner held an inquest on
Tuesday last, on the body of John Davis,
who was found on the morning of that day,
in the upper part of town, frozen to death.
1t seems the deceased was an incorporate
man, and on the night previous had be-
come so much intoxicated as to be unable
to reach his home. In his mental and
physical prostration, occasioned by liquor,
lie mistook the side of shanty for his bed,
and stripping himself, lay down on the icy
ground, in which position he was found
in the morning still breathing, but past all
recovery.
We learn that he heobiained the liquor from
a man who had only short time before
served term eff twenty days in Jail fors sell
ling liquor illegally. While the Coroner
is holding the inquest over the murdered
body of poor John Davis, the Probate
Court is in session with some fifteen cases
before it for keeping doggeries cantrary to
law. Some of these will doubtless be sent
tojail. Some may perhaps escape the pen
atty altogether, aud those who have money
enough or can give the needed security
will remove their cases to higher Court,
if for nothing else, tOgain time and get
the advantage of the possible death or alb
sence of the witnesses in future trial.
Well, this is very free country, and whis-
ky is cheap! Davis is out of the way,
and his murderer probably made two cents
clear profits on the drink that finished him!
Lot all the keepers of "rot-gut" rejoice
Davis was dangerous and not very profit

THE BAGASSE FURNACE.

DATENTED Dec. 4th. 1856; same patent
n reissued Aug. 9th, 1856; and new patent grant
ed Aug. 9th, 1856; TO. S. H. Gilman, of New Or
leans. This furnace is now in use on EIGHTEEN
PLANTATIONS IN LOUISIANA, and COM
bines with unqualified success the six important
and distinctive features of,
1, Working entirely by natural draught.
2. Containing no CRATE bars or other irons in
interior.
3. Never requiring the bagasse to be stirred or
touched after it falls from the carrier into the
hopper of the furnace,
a. Drying the bagasse thoroughly in the furnace
where it remains more than one hour, exposed
to great heat, before it reaches the point Of
combustion.
S. Forming no Stag, and the ashes being carried
by the draught into a second chamber, are with
drawn at any time without stopping the sugar
mill.
6. Burning all the bagasse on plantations Of any
size, and requiring no other attention than to
take out the ashes and occasionally throw in
Wood-the average consumption of which has
been only one-halfa cord in twenty-fo -four hours,
when the furnace, fues and chimney were
proportioned.
Ihe furnace erected under the new patent of
August 9Th, 1856, are fed without rollers BY a
simple arrangement of balanced doors in the bot
tom Of the hoppers, which open by the weight Of
the bagasse and require no attention whatever.
This is the only Bagasse Furnace which com>
blnes the above named features, either theoreti-
cally or practically.
An investigation of the patents, specifications
and drawings Ito be had of the subscribersl will
prove this furnace to be constructed upon strictly
scientific principles, entirely distinct from those
OF and other patented furnace, and an exanina-
ton Of the furnace in operation, will convince the
the most incredulous of the successful application
ofthe principles laid down in the patents, as well
as lts perfect simplicity of construction and
management. economy and durability. Some Of
these furnaces have taken of three crops without
any repairs, there being nothing but FIRE brick
exposed to the fire.
Lhe undersigned are now prepared to contract
with parties for supplying and putting these
furnaces in operation, and solicit Of sugar planters
an investigation Of their testified achievements.
