DEMONSTRATIONS IN WATER PIPEs.-In some
some parts of our country much trouble is
experienced with the pipes which are employ
ed to conduct water filling up with incrusta-
tatOn. In one case it has been found that
cast-iron pipes. three inches in diameter, laid
underground, for conducting spring water at
a distance of half mile, bad nearly filed up
with scale in ten years. Wooden, tile and
glass pipes might be used, but cast-iron pipes
are stronger, and would be preferable to all
others were they not subject to incrust. The
cause of incrustation forming is deposition
on the sides of the pipe of mineral matter held
in suspension by the water. This matter
cannot be seen with the naked eye, but it is
in the water or the crust would not FORM
The incrustation Is simply equalization, and
the action of crystalzation is what is called
polarity. There must be polar attraction in
the interior of the pipes, separating the min
eral matter in the water, atom by atom, until
the pipe is nearly or wholly filed up. The
scale or crust, when formed in the pipes may
be removed with an acid; but this cannot well
be applied to pipes under ground. The
grand object would be the preventing of scale
forming. By connecting large zinc plate
with the pipes by wire, and sinking this
plate in the moist earth, voltaic current will
he generated, and scales may be prevented
forming on the interior of the pipes.-C Charles

In the report of the discussion between Mr..
Goggin and Mr.. Montague. in Caroline coun-
ty. a given in the Fredericksburg News, we
fnd the following:
Mr. Montague said-"I voted for Buchan-
an on the Cincinnati platform, but he has de-
ceiUed me-he IS traitor 10 has party. and so help
me mig Creator, III PeUer cote for him again.
That is always the way. When we told
the Democracy in 1856 that Old Buck was a
trickster and humbug of the first water,
they swOre that it was not so--that it was a
"Whig lie''--that Buck was an immaculate
patriot and an incorruptiblc statesman. AS
usual, the Wings were right-but, usual
also, the discovery OF that fact by the De-
mOcracy comes too late. Apropos of this. how
is il that Mr.. Letcher ''sustains'' President
whom his Lieutenant so fiercely denouaces.-

From the Union and American of yesterday

To THE EDITORS OF THE UNION AND AMER
ICAN: have noticed the article published in
the Banner of this morning-in which an
effort is made to create an impression that
the Post Office Department had been in some
way connected with the application to the
Banks in Nashville for money to pay the con-
tractors in this State.
The truth Is that | apprehended some in
convenience TO the citizens of the State, that
might be put to from the omission of Con-
gress TO pass the usual appropriation Bill for
the Post Office Department, either by the re-
duction of the service in the State, or by the
inability of some of tho contractors to com
ply with their contracts. The idea occurred
to me that the three old Banks in Nashville
might, without Inconvenience, make pay
ment to the contractors until Congress should
meet and make the appropriations. / went
to the Post Office to ascertain from Gen. Ans
derson the amount of money that would be
necessary for the purpose, and found Gen.
Smith in his room. The information which
Gen. Anderson could give was not as specific
as desired, and l requested Gen. Smith to
write TO the Department for the information.
| then called upon the officers OF the Union
and Planters banks TO ascertain how far
could get their cooperation; and ascertain
ing that they would probably unite with me,
wrote myself TO the Post Master General, 80
as to ascertain precisely the amount neces-
sary received his reply, which was sub
mitted to the directors of these Banks, and
they at once cOncurr,d in the views which L
had presented, and agreed to advance to the
contractors, each an equal proportion of the
amount of money necessary to sustain the
mail service, and so informed the Post Mas
ter General. The Post Office Department,
nor any one of its agents, made any sugges-
tions to me, indirectly, in relation to this
movement-it was a suggestion of my own,
and alone for the purpose above stated.

oh, woman's smiles are a wili'o- the-wisp,
And her vows idle song:
You may win them both by hattering word,
Though she know that your words wrong;
And if the one you can keep an hour,
She'll remember the other as long.

When was uncommonly green,
When foolishly trusted in what she said,
And not what she CHANGED TO mean,
And verdanty thought that all was gold
That shone with glden sheen.
nyou still would believe that her whispered VOW
Is as true as the thrill it brings;
II you would not know that her promises are
But the dust on the butterhy's wings,
You'd better be blind to the smile she wears,
And deaf 10 the song she sings.

Vegetable Wax.

The subjoined extract from letter of the
United States Consul at London, to the Sec
rotary of State, contains information, says
the Constitution, which is characteristic of the
energy and enterprise of our countrymeu.
We understand that the seed of the vegetable
wax tree, and the sample of wax to which
Mr.. CANPBELL's letter refers, have been de
posted in the Agricultural Bureau of the
Patent Office: -

SIR:-I am pleased to be able TO add an
other evidence of the forecast, energy and en-
terprize of our commercial marine. in the ar
rival of the ship Florence (of B0ston), Capt.
Dumaresq, at this port, from Nagasaki. in
Japan, from whence she sailed on the 18th
December last with a cargo consisting chief
ly of vegetable wax.
This arrival from Japan is the first that has
ever occurred in any English port; and it is
gratifying to state that there is every proba-
bility of Captain Dumaresq's realizing cent
per cent upon the whole of his outlay. The
wax and the berry or fruit producing it, be-
ing previously unknown in this country, and
deeming it probable that it would be an
equal novelty at your department, ! take the
liberty of sending TO your address, under sep
arate covers, specimens of the wax and berry
the latter growing in clusters similar to
grape clusters, on trees varying from fifteen
to twenty-five feet in height. The cost of the
wax delivered in London is about eight dol
lars per hundred weight The experience OF
Capt. Dumaresq proves that the vegetable
wax bears, without softening. greater de-
gree of atmospheric heat than any other wax
he has experience Of The japanese mode of
preparation of the wax is said TO be very
rude; the berries being first washed by rude
appliances, then boiled. when it is formed in
to cakes of thirty pounds, and subsequently
dried in the sun. Should the labor not be
too costly, there is every probability that the
tree might be successfully raised, and the
wax manufactured in the Southern States.

Mr.. DAVIS SpEEcn.-We publish
on our first page this week synopsis of
the great speech of Henry Winter Davis,
delivered on the 9Th inst, on the occasion
of his accepting the nomination for Con-
grcss. The Hon. Daniel Ullman, of
New York, during an able speech at
meeting of the American delegates to
the Utica Convention, on Saturday even
ing last, referred to Mr.. d. in these terms
"Winter Davis of Maryland, as eloquent
ga man as God ever created, and as true
" hearted and as warm gentleman as
" ever responded to the heart of another
"man." Truly eloquent and powerful
indeed, was the speech of which this
synopsis is only the skeleton those who
were present say they have never heard
it equalled. The readers attention is
called to the statements and truths of
the synopsis. Assuredly, tue Democracy,
las the leaders of the locofoco faction
style themselves,) having endorsed this
Administration and its acts, there are
hundreds of men in this county, who
have voted with 1t heretofore, who will
now forsake it and give their strength to
the great Opposition party, which is
rising up in all the States, to snatch the
country from the hands of the corrupt
MASTERS and destroyers, who are ia item
ing on the public money and grasping
all the while at power, more complete
than they now possess.

WITuouT DISTINCTION OF PARTY

4
| WITHOUT DISTINCTION OF PARTY
A few weeks ago we noticed in the news
papers Of the Judicial District below, a
letter to the Hon. Judge Carmichael,
from sundry prominent citizens of Chess
tertown, withoM distinction Of party,
asking him to become candidate for the
Judgeship and guaranteeing to him the
support of the voters of the district.
That was very we'll Judge Carmichael,
though staunch Democrat, was appoint
ed to Office by Gov. Hicks having given
satisfaction to the people by the manner
in which he discharged the duties of the
Office, and the Office not being political
one, it was very well for people without
distinction of party to say they will
elect him again.
At the present time in this county,
we have case where similar move of
the people, would be equally proper
VIM. j. Jones, Esq, was appointed by
Judge Price, States Attorney for Cecil
county. That Office is no more political
one than the office of Judge, and should
be held above party politics by all right
minded people. Mr.. Jones, during the
time he has held the office, has fulfilled
its duties to the eminent satisfaction of
the people Of the county every juryman
who has served during the time he has
been States Attorney, can bear evidence
to his ability and to his faithfulness to
the State, as we'll as to the unfortunate
men he has been called upon, in the
course of his duty, to prosecute and
his conduct in the office, and The nature
of the Office not being political, leads to
the conclusion that hundreds of men,
" without distinction of party will cast
their votes to keep him in the important
office he so ably, faithfully and impair
TALLY fills.
We but repeat what has been said by
many intelligent men, /" without distnc-
ton of party" that there never was
more competent prosecuting officer at
this bar; no change can be better for the
interests of the county and the people,
and we hazard nothing in saying that
there is no change proposed which would
leave things as well. We leave this
subject for the quiet contemplation of
the voters Of the county.
