be- Several Democratic papers in this State
are daily uttering anathemas against Douglas,
and declaring that he is no longer National
Democrat. We are preserving these papers for
future reference. IfDouglas is reelected to the
United States Senate, we intend to remind these
Democratic editors of these articles so that they
may then remember to mourn over his success.
If he is defeated, and Lincoln, professed Abo-
litionist is elected, we will also remind them of
their present opinions, SO that they may throw
up their hats and rejoice with greatjoy" atthe
defeat of Democrat and the success of an Abo-
Etionist.

We hear it stated on the street that number
of scrip holders intend to fix upon particular
figure at which to make their bids, and thus
purchase the six thousand dollars at their own
price. This of course might defeat the object of
the law if the combination chose to make its
bids high enough; but we cannot say that the
county would have any right to complain, inas-
much as it is doing what no honorable business
man will do-speculate upon its own indebted

MECHANICS, INVENTORS, MANUFACTURERS, AND

The SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN has reached its
fourteenth year, and will enter upon new Vol
ume on the 1th of September It is the only
weekly publication of the kind now issued in
this country, and it has a very extensive circula-
ton in all the States of the Union. 1t is not, as
some might suppose from its title, a dry abstruse
work on technical science; on the contrary, it
so deals with the great events going on in the
scientific, mechanical and industrial worlds, as
to please and instruct every one If the Me-
chanic or Artisan wishes to know the best ma
chine in use, or how to make any substance en-
ployed in his business-if the Housewife wishes
to get recipe for making good color, &c.,
if the Inventor wishes TO knowlwhat is going on
in tie way of improvements--if the Manufac-
turer wishes to keep posted With the times, and
to employ the best facilities in his business-if
the Man of Leisure and Study wishes to keep
himself familiar with the progress made in the
chemical laboratory, or in the construction Of
telegraphs, steamships, railroads, reapers, now
ers, and a thousand other machines and appli
ances, both of peace and r--all these desider-
alta can be found in the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN,
and not elsewhere. They are here presented in a
reliable and interesting form, adapted to the
comprehension of minds unlearned in the higher
branches of science and art.

State School Lands.

MEssRs. EDIroRs.-As majority of our #
mers appear to still very imperfectly underst
the law disposing of the State School Ian
have thought that a few words in regard
would not be uninteresting.
California, with several of the other West
States, has been the recipient of the bounty
Congress in the shape of a donation of FIVE b,
dred thousand acres of land. The act donat
this land requires that it shall be selecteS
parcels of a compact form, and in bodies q
less than 320 acres each. To p,

Legislature has passed law allowing the clti-
zens of the State to purchase any public la ds
to which there is no prior valid title, in pare Els
of not more than three hundred and tive /!
acres to each purchaser, as school lands-t.e
selection Of individuals being confirmed by, and
considered the selection of the State-at the ate
of ST 25 per acre, one-ffth of the purchase mo-

lands are located, after the selections have been
examined and confirmed by the proper officers
the remainder at such time after one year is
the Legislature may direct. Two or more pei
sons can join together and enter 800 acres, or
any additional amount corresponding with GOV
ernment subdivisions, provided the land is all
in one body and the whole tract entered at one
time.
This law is very liberal in its character, CIV
ing as it does ample time in which to pay for
the lands; at the same time it is beneficial to
the State, as it places the school fund upon a
fair rate of interest, with good security. 1t does
not require expensive journeys to be made to
Land Offices, nor difficult proofs to be furnished
in regard to minerals, &C., as our pre-emption
laws unfortunately now do. As natural con-
sequence, its provisions being rapidly availed
of by those who understand them, in the pur-
chase of their lands In the month of Septem-
ber alone about 100000 acres were entered un-
der this law; and it would doubtless be well for
those in this section of the county who wish to
avail themselves of it to do SO without delay, as
the probabilities are that the school lands will
all be taken before the end of the present year.
