SOMETHING NEW IN THE SCIENTIFIC WoILD.- We
copy the following interesting article from She New
Orleans PicayuRe. 1t is from the pen Of their New
York correspondent "Walter Olyde:"
certain DIR. Benjamin lIariinge, man Of orig
nal mind-a careful, truthful and never-tiring
student of nature-has spent the last - years in
his laboratory in hquidatng quartz rock and COM
bining it again in new and varied forms DiSSolving
quartz slick with an excess Of alkal is nothing new
in chemistry but TO do it with the slick very greatly
IN excess the alkali, and in large quantities
and at small expense has been one of the greatest
studies of chemistry for the past quarter ofa century
This DIR. Hardinge surely accomplished; for | have
seen three thousand gallons of liquid dissolved at
time and in the short space Of two hours, and
at an expense merely nominal. The capacity of
this monster machine is six thousand gallons, and
it can digest twelve tons Of quartz, oize flint.
rock in twentyfour hours, and convert it into the
waters of cryStaliZation. But then you have the
basis for the widest speculatons Your readers are,
perhaps, that a very large portion of our
globe is Of just this material either IN the form Of
sand rock or other siliceous substances.
by chemical combinations, DIR. Hardinge makes
an article Of plastic marble purer than the purest
Parian. II can be made of any color by mixtures
with various metallic oxides. Every article of marble
work may thus he cast perfectly castings of
metal are, and copies of Corinthian pillars,
statutes, mantclS, etc, be furnished at ex-
pense of probably one per cent their cost BY q
proper combination with ordinary sand or marble, a
stone is made harder than the hardest flint and u
price less than the cheapest brick Your parlors
may be frescOed with marble, and time will never
njure the colors This is, undoubtedly the same
process used in the catacombs of Egypt, the coors
of which are as fresh as when they were first put
on, three Thousand years ago.
Your lcvecs may now be built o! stone made on
the premises, and You will have trouble to make
them equal in size to the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
Solomon's temple
This liquid quartz is also made into paint, incom-
bustible and soluble. Your ships and steamboats,
cannot burn up, and the mcanest hut will be as safe
from fire as the marble palace. This seems almost
like the fables of the Arabian Nights, yet it cannot
he otherwise than true.
For diSsolving gold bearing quartz, this inven-
tons value is without limit. Every atom of gold
may be precipitated and saved, and then the liquid
is Of far value than the whole thing has cost.
Think Of one great iron monarch digesting twelve
tons of flint in twenty four hours.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IN SAMPSON


Pursuant to previous notice, the Democrats of
Sampson county held Convention in the Court
House in Clinton, on Saturday the Odd ult to NOM
mate candidates to represent the county the next
State Legislature.
On motion of Or. Thomas Bunting, William C.
DraughOrn, ESQ.,, called to the Chair, and A. c.
johnson and e. W. Robinson were requested to act
as Secretaries
The Convention being ready for business, letter
from A. a. Mckoy, Esq, declining denomination
read, as follows
Gentlemen Of the Contention -
As have taken occasion heretofore to inform
some of you privately that circumstances beyond
my control prevents me from becoming candidate
for the Senate at your next election (however much
might desire so to do) again take this occasion
to rciterate the same.
! trust my friends know me well enough to ap-
preciate my motives in declining to permit nv name
to go before the Convention Suffice it to saw that
reasons OF nature so strong compel me to fo-eeo
the wishes OF my constituents, (who two years ago
gave m, so tattering demonstration at the ballot
bax,) that it is beyond my power to consent again
to become a candidate. These reasons are purely
personal, and are known to many of YOU already
But in declining to permit my name to be brought
before the Convention, | have abated none of nv
zeal for our success Yonr cause is my cause, and
where the fight wakes warmest, there will nv
voice and influence be brought to bear for the non-
inees Of this Convention. | cannot but recall the
many pleasant incidents Of the last campaign in
which my friends and fellow Democrats struggled
manfuy for the success of the party and its nomi-
nees nor can | ever cease to be grateful to nv
| friends who battled nobly for our common cause
These things will betreasured among the bright re-
collections of the past and shall ever feel proud OF
that distinguished honor which you, unasied, con.
| terred upon me. Of my friends can only ask the
same unwavering support for my successor, which
they SO freely gave to me.
BY united harmonious action we can achieve A
glorious victory, and thereby punish those who
would for their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and selfish pur
poses destroy the organization of our party upon
which SO much of veal or woe depends.
Make your nominations and when thus made pc
heart in hand to the contest and thereby secure
their election. And when once a man is appointed
as your standard bearer be to him firm faithful and
true, feeling that his cause is your cause and the
cause of our common country. Trusting that yeul
action may be harmonious, and that glorious tri
umph may yet await US in the coming campaigns
State and National,
With sentiments of high regard, 80
am your obedient servant

aldates which resulted in the nomination of Dr. G

because Of its authorship being somewhat IN mys-
tery-and having also heard that John Pool de-
nounccs the letter to Mr. Johnson in relation to ms

dorse every word of that letter. and it is useless for
Pool to deny the facts stated. Mr. Pool in my pre-
sence declared time and again, he would not 1t elect

preparation of public money, denounced MIR. Jordan

for these measures TO obtain Judgeship. Mr. Jor-
dan replied to that that suspected another
until he himself had crossed that line which sepa-
rates honesty from dishonesty, and | am sure Mr.
Pool never alluded to the subject again in my pres

With regard to Mr.. Jordan's position in society,
