To SALERATCs EArERs.-At a late con.
venlon OF dentists it was asserted that
the main, ifn"t the sole cause ofthe great
increase Of defective teeth, was the use Of
saleralus and cream Of tartar in the man.

agreed with the facts offered in proof. ad.
ding the results of some experiments made
by himself He soaked sound tooth in a
solution of saleratus, and they were des-
iroyed in fourteen days. We have the
opinion Of men whose talents, time and
o. al are given to dentistry, that saleratus
and cream ot tartar in bread are a chief
cause of ruin to teeth. Now, will those
who know this fact go on eating all that
comes in their way, without inquirpg

hCted the httiDg out OF tsibasttr expeditions
against Nicaragua. The assembled wisdom Of
that republic comes now With proposition TO
insert in treaty between the two governments
tacit admission on the part Of the United
States that il has rot done its duty. No other
Interpretation can be given to y stipulation
which il simply reiterasion of an admitted
principle Of the laws Of nations
II was the duty Of our government, on re-
ceiving the insulting declaration of the Presi-
dents Of Costa Rios and Nicaragua to demand
an immediate and categorical explanation of IL;
In tact, to force those ignorant officials publicly
TO retract and eat their own words; aud if this
was not done at once and without hesitation or
evasion on their part, to recall Gen. Lamar and
send hcme their Ministers in Washington. A
suspension of amicable relations with them, and
q simple but unzealous enforcement Of our
neutrality laws, would supersede all necessity Of
any further demonstrations against them. We
doubt not that Mr.. Buchanan has demanded
such an explanation, and that he will exhibit
proper energy in the resentment Of the insult
to the good faith and honor Of our government.
The insoient character of the notifications aud
additions to the Cas- Yrisarri treaty call for
another energetic reproof to the foolish gov
eminent Of Nicaragua Martinez Is proving
himself to be the King Bomba of America, and
deserves To be dealt with accordingly.

No QUARTER TO DoCGIAs-It Is given out In
the newspapers that Hon. Alexander H. Ste
phens, Of Georgia, who went out to Illinois
lately as peacemaker between the Douglas aud
anti Douglas democracy of that State, has given
it up as bad job, and returned home in de-
spair. In support of this view of the case, the
Chicago Herald (anti-Douglas organ) says
I'VE are bound, under any circumstances, TO
make this fight to the end. Stephen A. Douglas
cannot be re elected to the Senate. Saltpetre
cannot save him. The people of Washington
may rely confidently on this. Mr.. Douglas will
not be allowed to triumph over Mr.. Buchanan
We have no doubt of the truth OF these re-
marks. The united opposition of Illinois in
1866 against the united democracy, on the Co
vernon, polled heavy majority. What chance
then has Mr.. Douglas against the united oppo-
sition now, with the addition of a determined
wing of his own party against him. or course
the opposition will carry the State, and after
the thing it lone the democracy Of illinois,
like the party in New York after the Van Buren,
split of lsis viii be left To patch up recon-
Citation If they can. And thus ends the final
chapter Of Mr.. Douglas and his Kansas Nebrss-
ka bill. Within month or two be will have

Iuh OOMlN6 OfEhA SEASON-ENoAGEMENT
OF PIccoLoNNI-We are glad to announce, on
the authority of Mr.. Lumley, the director of Her
Msjestys theatre, that the departure of Mile.
PiccolomiDi for the United States has been de-
finitively fixed and that she will leave England
about the 26th day of September. She will sing
at the Academy of Music, under the direction of
Mr.. Ullman, who has already introduced many
musical celebrities to the New York public. So
by the middle of October We may expect an
operate .furoe second only to that caused by
the appearance of Jenny Lind. The announce
ment made by Barnum that he had engaged the
principal artists Of Her Majesty theatre was q
miserable humbug; but still 1t will further the
ends of Lumley and Ullman, and Piccolomini
will undoubtedly make a greater furore by
coming alone than If she were attended by a
number Of other artists, who would, at first,
divide public attention with her. We say at
first because Mile. Piccolomini's overwhelming
triumph in this country is beyond peradventurc.
She is youthful, beautiful and engaging; she
exerts over her audience degree of magnetism
that has not been equalled since Malibrsn. She
is magnificent actress, as well as first
class singer, and her engagement has been
the salvation Of the London Opera for the past
two or three seasons 1t was our pleasure to
zee the excitement created by Piccolomini ut
her dfJm Ia Italy, and in the course of an ex-
perieLce Of many years we have never seen
anything equal to it. This triumph was re-
peated over and over again in London, in
Paris, in the provinces OF England and in Ger
many. As we have already stated, Mile. Pic
colomlni possesses all the requisites TO raise our
mercurial and gallant people 10 the highest
pitch Of excitement She has. we are told, the
greatest anxiety to visit the United States, and
we lave no doubt that she will renew with us
her transatlantic triumphs She is younger
and handsomer than Jenny Lind; and is withal,
splendid actress, shining equally well In
the concert room or upon the stage. We shall
have, when Piccolomini makes her debut. such a
mastering Of the crinoline, the Opera cloaks,
the kid gloves and all the other fashionable
fripperies rs viii make the Broadway shop
keepers smile at their profits LUXURY ia
which, by all accounts, they have not been
able TO indulge for some time. Better than all
with Msretzek to commence with Nine. easier
and Ulman to follow with Piccolomini, we
shall have good four or six months Opera sea-
son, and we may reasonably expect that the
Opera, the most agreeable, refined, artistic,
soothing and fascinating Of public amusements,
will become permanently established iu our
midst. Please then TO get ready for Piccolo-
mini hats, Piccolomini cloal1s, Piccolomini

f.cting committees the amiable peacemsker
OF 'se Dolly News innocently inquiries, "why
cannot all factions agree to unite, with one set
OF 'air and honorable inspectors, with clean and
uus'ufltd ballot boxes, and With peaceable
polls held open for one entire day and evening,
with every voters name and residence register
ed, ard with the returns made and published
under the oaths Of The inspectors, 30 that for
once an honestly elected set Of delegates may
be presented at the State Convention, just as
curiosity"
Why mott We suspect that the intelligent
reacer can answer the question at once; that
this thing canno be done, because of the selfish
motives ana corrupt practices which, more or
less, govern all tn &c conflicting cliques and
factions. But we nevertheless warn these de-
mocI attic cliques and factions that the city Of
New York is the most important stronghold of
the democratic party In the North, and in the
whole country; that if they lose it in the COM
ing November election the chances Of the par
ty OF the Union for the campaign Of 1860 will
be reduced to the smallest possibilities, and
that from what was accomplished BY the fu-
sion IF the cpposion elements last December,
and IRON present appearances, nothing but the
most cordial reunion and harmony of our
wrangiirg democracy will save the city in
Eovtmb, from falling into the absolute oc-
cupaeion Of Inc opposition.
With regard TO the December election we
earnestly desire to see q new and independents
party 1.-The taypayers' party-take possession Of
the field. There is no hope for reduction of
the long continued and existing spells cOrrup-
tons and reckless squanderings from the city
treasury short of some such independent organi-
zation as taxpayers party. But this opposi-
ton movement for November is fusion move
ment for 1860, and if the democracy would
meet it and defeat it, they must bury the
Ratchet in the coal hole of Tammany Hall,
otherwise their disgusting feuds and squabbles
will, perhaps, complete the ruin Of all con-
cerned.

UgI'he trial of Thomas Washington
Smith for shooting Richard Carter, in
Philadelphia, on the 18th day of Noyem-
Der last, has been progressing this week,
in that city, and had not ended yester-
day. Smith is from North East in this
county and the circumstances Of the case
have been printed heretofore in this pa
per. That Smith was made the victim
Of a conspiracy, by which the mistress
If Carter was made his wife to cover her
shame, is beyond question. That so
sensitive mind as Bis should be dis
tracted and unbalanced by what result
ed, was a natural consequence, and that
he should shoot down, while in this
mental condition, the man who ruined
his whole life, appears to us to have
been what we may well call special
work of Providence. We have been a
witness on his trial and we confidently
expect his acquittal.
