writing from Richmond, thus speaks of Brownlow
wfo recently had the debate in Philadelphia with
an abolitionist s4 nE .~
your correspondent had an interview with
Brosnlow, the veritsble "fghting parson' lie
stopped in this city on his way home from Phlia-
dc. Tia He seems to be very we'll satisfied with
siss~ Ssfesalt CT his controversy With Af.Pyflae-
thinks he "got him down" The audience was
made up almost entirely of men Of Northern sentl-
ment. among whom were not few free negroes
Passmore Williamson being one of the number
Mr. g. complains Of the press having done hlm
great injustice in their reports, and says III his last
speech he took occasion to denouncc the papers
and reporters for their misrepresentation.
He says he lost nothing on account OF his III
| ability t. speak himself, ample justice was done
to his manuscript by his reader, Gen. Small, who
is an admirable elocutionist. The debates are now
in the presses Of Lippincott, and will be out III

ton of the throat and experienced no rellet from
medical treatment in Philadelphia.
! The appearance of this remarkable man IS strlk-

BoNEs-The following shows what IS done
with bones in the city of New York The same
operations are carried upon an extensive scale
in the vicinity of Boston: ;.
The price paid for bones varies according to
quality. Thigh bones Of bullocks are made INTO
handles of tooth brushes, and of the most value
being worth 10 or II cents apiece. The jaw bones
rank next, and sell for &l8 per thousand he
s.sbort7 bones which are thrown from the family
table. sell for so cents per bushel. A Mr. Green
in New York, pays 500 per day for bones, and
there arc many in that city engaged III the bust
ness who pay an equal amount. OK hools are
worth $40 per tun On the arrival Of the bones
at the factory, the thigh and jaw bones are sawed
50 as to admit of the removal Of the marrow They
arc then thrown into vast cauldron, and boiled
until all the marrow and fatty substances attached
to them are thoroughly extracted. The fat is then
skinned off and placed in coolers, and the bones
are deposited in heaps for assortment. The thigh
bones are placed in one heap for the turner's; the
laws and other bones suitable for buttons are
placed in a second pile; the bones suitable tol
s.bone black come third, and the remainder arc
ground up for phosphatcs and man"res. BonG
/ black is used by sugar refners, and Is worth -
and 33 cents per pound. Stuart s refinery pays
1000 annually for this article, and each OF the
/ other ten refneries pay nearly the same amount
| Mr. Green realizes about $4,000 per annum from
soap lat produced by bone-boiling.

A POISONED VALLEY.

A singular discovery has lately been made near
Batten, in Java, of poisoned valley. MI AieA'

dressed by him to the Royal Geographical Society;
It is known BY the name Of Guevo Upas, or poi
soned valley; aud following path which had been
made for the purpose, the party shortly reached II
with couple of dogs and fowls for the purpose OF
making experiments On arriving at the top OF
tho ,nountain the party dismouuted and scrambled

tie assistance Of the branches ana projecting roots
When at a few yards from the valley, a strong
nauseous, sllfocatng smell was experienced; but
ON annroachinr the margin, the Inconvenience was
no lonocr found. The valley is about n half mile
in circumference, of oval shape and about thirty
feet deep The bottom of it appeared to be hat,
without any vegetation and few large stones scat
tered here and there. Skeletons OF human beings,
tigers. bears deer and all sorts OF birds and Wllo
animals E,v about in profusion. The ground on

South and he has no voice in shaping the character
