VITALITY or SEEDS. There is no limit to
the vitality Of cereal grains kept perfectly
dry in an Interchangeable temperature. Most
OF the garden seeds will grow after two
years, and those Of the cueumus family after
many years. In fact, many persons prefer
melon.seeds two or three years old. Onion.
seed loses vitality Of about half the seeds the
second year; and old par.nip seed is not as
good Us new. All garden-soeds should bS
kept in aIr-tight vessels, and nome but the
best should DO saved.

There were not many gatherings yesterday at the
usual corners. The weather was unpropitions at
times the wind came with bracing blast from the
northwest then it changed to clustering southwest
sending considerable quantity of dust from dry
places towards night it chopped round to the north
east, with signs of rain, indicating something of
real grey north-easter. So much for the appearance
of the weather. M
Business was lively and active on the leyee though
the arrivals were not numerous they were sufficient
with those of two days previous to keep matters ex
citing Down below Canal street, where the sugar
| interest rules supreme, there was fine display of
Louisiana products Abiding to the sugar depot we
have to remark on many illusions from the country
press, regarding the facilities and conveniences for
the receiving and sale of sugar and molasses. 1t is
very unreasonable to expect that the evee or steam
boat landing can be used as a real warehouse. One
thousand hogsheads of sugar might be kept there for
weeks, or perhaps months, and obstruct the entire
business of the city, We alluded few days since to
some remarks made by the Planters Banner regard
ing the sugar depot. The Banners remarks have at
cted the notice of the Sugar Planter Of West Baton
Rouge, which INDUCES in the following remarks:
We have abundant evidence that large number of
planters will seek a market elsewhere, unless some
attention is paid to the matter. day or two since
We asked planter OF our parish, who had interested
himself greatlyn the attempt TO build mart in New
Orleans whether he intended to take much interest
in the present move. He replied that he would not.
He found better accommodations in every particular
in ST. Louis, and that would be his market for the
future. This is no idle threat There are many
more like him, whom could cite as references If
we felt so disposed
AS regards the threat above we have no fears of it,
The dealers in St. LOUIS the grocer and refners in
New York, desire nothing more than that sugar
should be shipped to these places on planters ac-
count; then they would combine and purchase at
their own prices; in fact they would make a value
for it. Moreover good long credit could be realized
by shipping to either of the above markets. In New
York sales could be effected payable six months after
convenience, but generally four to six months in
st. Louis from cash to 80 days. payable in currency
say Wisconsin, Illinois and other promises to pay
We will give any planter only one season to become
opposed to any other market than New Orleans. We
might ask, why not retain your sugar in the sugar
house until purchaser calls for it, Like some o.
our cotton planting friends holding cotton in theil
gin houses waiting for buyers to come from Manches
ter with gold in hand to purchase Our country
friends will find that the city and country must move
together. There never can be two distinct and
antagonistca interests between the State and city
prosperity.

An Unfounded Report.


In the Washington Union, of the 5th inst, we find
the following:
The absurd statement going the rounds Of the
press TO the effect that negotiations are in progress
between the Administration and Mr. Bernhsel for the
withdrawal Of the army from Utaa, the emigration OF
the Mormons to some island of the ocean, and the
purchase Of their lands in Salt Lake Valley by the
Government, is, of course, altogether destitute OF
| foundation in fact.
military departments of the country, where its pres
enee is required independently OF the Mormons and
1t would probably remain in that department in the
strength that has been dispatched there though
| every Mormon should evacuate the Territory.
| The lands of Salt Lake Valley have not, we be-
lieve, been yet sold to the Mormons- They occupy
them sqnatters, and have never yet derived titles
from the Government. 1t would be remarkable if
the Government should negotiate for the purchase of
its own lands which it has never sold. m
The Mormons are believed to have no present in
tenton of evaclating Utah. The march OF formi-
dable force of United States troops in that direction
would probably induce serious consideration af the
subject on their part but, strongly fortified they
are behind their can0ns and mountain gorges, well
provided with provisions, arms and ammunition,
strengthened by manifold and formidable alliances
with Indian tribes far and near-not to speak Of the
strength they command in Washington through the
opposition that is manifested towards an increase Of
| the army-the thought has not yet entered their
minds of preparing for any early removal from Salt
| Lake Valley. The information received by the Gov
ernment from reliable sources all concurs in aseTibng
to the Mormons the very opposite temper and pur-
pose to the reported and it is not believed that
they will be disposed 70 think OF captuation upon
any terms SO long as the Government is preyehted
from sending military force against them formidable
enough in numbers to inspire them with trepdation.
So far from any relaxation being likely to occur in
the efforts of the Administration TO press on rein
foroements to the army in Utah. we have conclusive
reason to believe that every al lbs command
will be exhausted by the Mar Department for swelling
aud expediting those reiaforeemenis. The prepara-
tions OF the Administration will be such that what
ever responsibility for misehances to our gallant
army shall attach to the Government shall fall alone
/ AT the door of Congress.

SINGULAR. - We learn from the officers of the
steamship Gen. Rsk, recently arrived from Brazos ST.
Jago, that great quantities of the wreck of the
steamship opelousas, which vessel met with so sad
fate near Berwcks Bay in November last, have been
cast ashore on Padre and Brazos st. Jago Islands,
about four hundred miles in southwesterly direc-
ton from the place where the accident occurred This
circumstance is the singular from the fact that
the trade winds have scarcely been interrupted during
the season by northers other causes, and it was
but reasonable to suppose that the wreck would have
drifted near the Sabine Pass, or somewhere there
about. This fact would seem to indicate that there
is strong current setting towards the southwest
from the outlets of the Mississippi and Atchafalaya
rivers. We publish the fact, however, without further
comment for the benefit Of those who take deeper
interest than we do in matters of the winds and
weathers, currents and courses and the changes of
the mighty deep.

FRIDAY MoRNING. FEBRUARY u. 1s5a.
DIR. Boynton's Lectures.

Dr. Boynton delivered another lecture to the schoo
children and ladies at Odd Fellows Hail. yesterday
afternoon and at night he delivered the fifth Of hi
regular series to the public.
The subject of this lecture was the coal formations
Of the earth and though it might previously have
seemed rather dry subject, the Doctor made it an
uncommonly interesting one A great part Of the
lecture was devoted to explanation of carbon, and
the manner in which 1t discharges its important func
tions in nature. 1t was shown that carbon, in its
gaseous state, Ia small portion Of which now exists
in the atmosphere) at certain period Of the earths
growth existed in such quantity as to forbid animal
life, out Of the water whilst it permitted the growth
of vegetation of certain class-the ferns, cactuses
and other plants, of which we now find the fossil re-
mains. In that age of the world, when there were
hills mountains, nor any land at considerable
elevation above the water, mighty and luxuriant
forests of vegetation existed and had the world to
themselves there being no living thing beast, bird
insect of any kind to disturb their awful soltudes
This vegetation grew and decayed throughout ar
age of which we can form no conception by oul
limited ideas of time and the decayed matter, sink
ing beneath the elemental changes and revolutions o
succeeding ages became dried and preserved in its
appropriate place in the earths crust In the present
age, we dig it out and call it coal-the mightest o
all the agents Of present civilization and enght
enment
The vegetation of the carbonifeous period, as indi
Gated by its fossil remains, was handsomely illus
trated by painting, to certain extent imaginary
but still correct so far the form and appearance
the trees and plants could be arrived at, by thei
evident relationship to trees and plants existing
The painting highly interesting one to behold
and was heartily applauded by the audience.
DR.. Boynton, after concluding his lecture on th,
coal formation, introduced his immense galvanc bat
terry and delighted his audience with series of Thu
most beautiful and astonishing electrical experiments
With streams of electricity he burnt tin silver gold
copper and steel the metals disappearing readl,
as wax, and emitting the most intensely brillian
flames of white, yellow green and blue. The methot
of firing submarine batteries was illustrated tht
electric light produced in globe of water ant
| by another electric light, with varying hues, tht
painting of Niagara Falls was exhibted-the hal
| being otherwise darkened for the purpose So in
tense was the light upon the painting, that candle
flame, held between, was marked by a distinc
shadow. The audience testified their pleasure in th
heartiest manner during these experiments.
This afternoon DR.. Boynton delivers another lectur
to the school children, and tonight he delivers th
sixth of his regular course to the public.
