Direct Communication with
France.

HNHE commercial intercourse to be estab-
Il lished between the Port of Norfolk and
the coast OF France, renders an acquaintance
with the language of that country, not only
a. necessity for those whose business may be
thus directed, but enhances its value as so
cial accomplishment both to Ladies and Gen
tlemen. The undersigned having possessed
peculiar facilities in qualifying himself for
that capacity, respectfully offers his services
to the Ladies and Gentlemen of Norfolk and
Portsmouth as Il French Preeepter; to the
Ladies at their residences-to Gentlemen at
his office at Mrs. Freeman's Boarding house
No. 50, E. Main street.
Schools attended both for classes of French
and Book Keeping on moderate terms.
Merchants and Others requiring temporary
assistance in arranging their books, making
up accounts &c, will do well to apply to him
before his time is fully occupied. A thorough
knowledge of the French and sufficient ac-
quaintance with the German and Spanish
languages to keep mercantile accounts in
them if required, may render his services
useful to those engaged in the foreign CONT
mental trade.

poned to the TWENTY THIRD Of the pre-

GYPsUM.-Martin county, Astounding
in mineral wealth, is now laying claim
to new and unexpected riches. A large
bed Of gypsum or Plaster Of Paris, has
just been discovered, said to be inexhaus-
tible and Of the purest quality. 1t was
found on the farm of VIM. Herman, near
the Mountain Springs. Specimens have
been examined by Professor Owen, and
pronounced to be equal to the best article
in use. Nearly all Of the Plaster now
consumed in this part Of the country
comes from Nova Scotia via New Orleans,
and costs consumers from 81 to So per
Dbl If the above statement Of the po-
sition Of the Martin county gypsum and
its quality, be correct, Plaster Of Paris
can DO afforded any where on our Rail-
roads as cheap as ordinary lime. Plaster
of Paris beside its use by masvns, is an
excellent fertilizer especially for wheat
fields and potato lands. Martin county
with her immense deposits Of iron ore
her coal fields-her forests-her mineral
paint mines-her lime stone, her lead ore
and her gypsum beds, is worthy the at
tention of capitalists and enterprising
manufacturers. She may one day be
the richest and most populous county in
the State.
The Dover Hill Comet says an artist
has been employed in painting landscapes
and other scenes upon the walls Of the
American Paint Mandatory, all the
colors for which were compounded from
the mineral paints dug by the company
from their paint mines. The paintings
are good and are worthwhile editor says,
of the examination Of visitors. The
paints-which are excellcnt--comprise
in part the following: Yellow Ochre,
Spruce Ochre, Dover Red, Venitian red
Raw and Burnt TIMBER, Raw and Burnt
Terra de Sienna, Dover Brown, and Van
dyke Brown.

:g- The London Times advocates the in
PRODUCTION of African labor into the West
India Islands, on the same system as the
Coolies arc now employed in the Mauritius.
Coolies are to be had in India by thousands,
the country being overstocked with popula-
ton. The colonial government regulates the
amount Of labor required. On the arrival OF
q ship-load of Coolies, an officer goes on
beard ard asks if any Coolie has complaint
to make, and then lodges the whole in O
depot on shore, where they arc kept for two
days that tley may receive full information
as to the value of their labor, and may not
be entrapped into any injudicious engage
ments. Herecontracts arc made between the
planters and the Coolies-the former giving
securities for the faithful performance of their
part of the agreement. 1t is on this plan the
London Times advises the cultivation by
negroes Of the fertile estates, now untitled, in
the West India Islands.

AMERICAN Domestic EcoNoMY.-An Eastern
paper commenting on the effect of the times on
the domestic habits Of the people, says many
useful lessons will be learned. The secret
why the American laborer cannot compete
in wages with the German and Frenchman,
is because it costs the former twice as much
rs the latter to live. The waste of an Amer
lean kitchen, and by American cookery,
would feed German or q French family of
equal size and equal station in life. Labor
ing men throw away in ex.ravagant super
fluffy the means of making old age indepen-
dent and comfortable, and men of larger in
comes waste in proportion. The philanthro-
pist could not render greater service to the
country, and to the poor especially, than by
communicating moro sound knowledge upon
The economy Of food. We often throw away
the most nutritious portion, and spoil the
good qualities of the remainder by the mode
in which lis served up. Scientific men do moi
appreciate its importance, and sometimes
feel that it is beneath them, rs though i
was not one of the most important subject,
in the philosophy of life. But he who show,
how greater nourishment may be obtained
out of a potato, or how bread may be prepar
ed so as to give the greatest sustenancs ans
with the least danger to health, renders
greater service than he who makes al indie
finite number of political platforms.

A NEW MODE OF DuELLINo.-Mr. Ridge
way, editor of the Richmond Wing who wa.
assaulted in his Office by son of Gov. Wise
last week, sent the following challenge tc
young Wise.
81 propose that you and select only one
friend each, and, with one pair of pistols, We
shall all meet in your office or mine, at an
hour to be hereafter designated; that after
thus meeting AMI the door being locked you
and shall be securely blindfolded: that then
the seconds shall load one of the pistols and
leave the other unloaded; that they shall next
determine by lot the choice of pistols; that
the pistols shall be placed directly against my
breast and mine against yours that, next and
finally, at the giving of the word, we shall
both pull trigger, and let the consequences
take care Of themselves"
Mr.. Wise declined the new mode as ur-
known to the code Of honor, and one thai
leaves the issue entirely to chance, which he
dislikes.

EMANCIPATION OF RUSSIAN SERFs.-The
young Emperor Of Russia has determined to
carry out by degrees the policy first COM
menced by his uncle, Emperor Alexander, of
gradually abolishing serfdom in the Russian
dominion. A recent ukase provides for the
first step. An experiment is to be made in
three of the most western provinces of the
European Empire. District committees ore
to be appointed in each province, composed
jointly of intelligent landholders and of
nominees of the Crown, who are to devise
plans for their respective districts for the
abolition Of serfdom. The main condition,
Of change are to be 8" the maintenance of the
right of property in the soil, and the option
to the cultivators to purchase at q redemption
price the permanent ownership, without rent
Of the allotments or Enclosures in connection
with their habitations." The serfs arc fur
Their to have, within certain limits. and con.
ditions, the right to hire as farms, certain
portions of land, for which they are to pay
labor or money rent.
If these first experiments are successful
scrfdom will be gradually abolished through
out the whole empire under the mild sway o
Alexander the III.

H The following are reported as Mr.
Bright's last words, to the Faithful" on

tongue for utterance.

THE OCTOBER CANVASS.

The candidates for the State Offices, Sc
leeted by the 9th Jan. Convention. having
placed themselves on the right side Of the
popular sovereignty platform, and being,
as far as We know, capable and honest
executive officers, there is no other reason
for opposing their election that we can
see. except it be to subServe some party
schemec The chief stake in the contest
will be for the ". s. Scholarships, as the
seats Of Bright and Fitch will undoubt-
edly be declared vacant. The great OBJ
ject in every county should be to secure
members Of the Legislature Of the right
stamp. The political views Of the Exc
cutive officers to be voted for in the next
canvas, are of less consequence than
those whom the Legislature will elect in
the place Of Bright and Fitch. TO be
sure that the right men shall be elected
to the Legislature, it ought to be known
who are to be the candidates for Senators,
that the candidates for the Legislature
may be pledged to the people to sup
port the best men. Governor Wright
has been indicated by large number o.
independent Democrats as one Of the
candidates; and the Pocket will insist
upon the nomination Of Law or Hovey
Whoever the candidates are to be, they
should be known, that their names may
be the rallying signs Of the popular SOW
ereignty party.
