For the Standard


Mr.. HOLDEN: wish to call public attention to
the great improvements in the State Library, and
the many additions which have been made to it. of
valuable standard and works, under the super
attendance of the present able and efficient Librarian
o. Fl. Perry, Esq. He deserves high commcndation
for these improvements and should the Library con-
tinue under his charge for several years longer and
the fund coming to it, in future, be expended
as discreetly, and with as much judgment, it has
been during the last year two, it will indeed be
an honor to the State. Amongst the many valuable
works recently purchased, under the direction of
Mr.. Perry, will refer particularly to but one-The
Parliamentary Debates Of misunderstanding
from the tenth century to the present date. 1t is
indeed most valuable work-a history of the world
for the last eight centuries!
In addition to the improvements in the State Lib
rary much credit is due Mr.. Perry for the very
valuable collection of books which he has been able
to procure for the two Legislative Libraries "-one
for the Senate and the other for the House of Com
mons They will indeed be very convenient to the
members of each House for reference. There are in
each library, many valuable public documents
State and National-statstical works of different
kinds-State Codes-public statutes-reports of
committees, &c, various subjects and many 9TH
er works which will be useful to the legislator
There will be no excuse hereafter for ignorance
amongst our lawmakers any subject connected
with their high and responsible positon-for they
have but "to reach forth and obtain knowledge
Again say, much credit should be given Mr.. Per-
ry--and if any are disposed to doubt when I assert
that our State Library is becoming object worthy
our admiration let them call and see Cor themselves.

JUDGE DOUGLAS AND LECoMPToN.- last N. Y.
Herald contains number ofletters written by men,
bers of the Kansas Convention which framed the Le-
compton Constitution stating that Judge Douglas
wrote to John Calhoun, prominent member of the
Convention, suggesting the Lecompton Constitution
as it was framed, and pledging himself to advocate
the admission of the State under it. One of these
members of the Convention declares that he the
letter, and that he knows it to have been in Judge
Douglas handwriting, while all of them declare that
such letter was in Lecompton, and that Douglass
friends followed the advice given in it Judge
Douglas, in his recent speech at Milwaukee, denies
the charge out and out and pronounces it a SANDER
81 appeal to God" SAID he, in the presence of
high Heaven and this audience, that the charge is
false, care not who made it." Then it is false for
Stephen A. Douglas is a man of truth. We do not
believe he would wilfully prevaricae or utter false
hood. The showing against him is strong, but we
are bound to take his denial.

LABoRERs FOR CuBA.-It was recently announced
that the Captain General of Cuba had determined
to stop the immigration of negroes into that island
Since that time, according to the statements of
newspaper correspondents at Havana, the Captain
General has approved of plan for introducing five
thousand natives of Polynesia experiment.
This new description of laborers represented to
be athletic and straight-haired, with good black
compilations. A letter dated Havana, September
18th, published in the New Orleans Delta, says

mate with our servle stock better than the Asatic.
Vessels will be immediately dispatched by those in

already on their way in anticipation of the authori-
zation To meet our increasing agricultural industry
the necessity is pressing for hands," The voyage
from the Islands of Polynesia being short compared
with that of Coolies in the passage from their re-
spective countries, this new system is likely to be
attended with less hardship than has characterized
some other branches of the apprenticeship" bust
ness. But the supply of labor to be obtained from
the Pacific must be very limited, few years ago
the entire population of Polynesia exclusive of the
Sandwich Islands, was only about 100000. The
most populous were the Navigators, which were

AN OLD GAME.-The game of panic, especially
bank panic, on the of Presidential election, is
so uniformly practiced that everybody expects it
just certainly they do any other symptom Of
our our-yearly excitement.
The Raleigh Register, the leading organ of the
Bell and Everett party in this State gravely informs
us that the Bank of North Carolina has determined
to stop dlscountng and all that sort of thing, and
then goes on to argue as remedy for bank con-
traction that we should all vote for Bell and Ev-
erett
Now, we recollect some few Presidential elections,
and the editor of the Register recollects some few
more. We Presidential election pass
without this sort of talk, and perhaps action
on the part of the banks They are sure to be
about to suspend their usual discounts. Why it is
as natural as flowers in May, dead leaves in au-
tumn The people used to that talk, and will
not be influenced by it one iota.
We presume our monied institutions will 60 on
as usual consulting prudence and paying respect to
the usual indications that influence sensible men in
other avocations. But this accustomed cry coming
from some political panc-maker, will go for what ii
is worth. 1t was found out twenty years ago, and
more perhaps. It's humbug.

How TO TELL Coon CoAL-A writer gives the
following instructions to consumers of coal IN ma
king their purchases:
Almost all coal has "bone" in it. That is, it has
hard Jumps that cannot be burned keep them in the
stove as long you may; and in bad coal the pro-
portion Of "bone" is sometimes very large. Here
is great waste that somebody has to bear the ex-
pense Of How shall consumers avodit? Atten-
ton to the following rule will, in great measuure
ensure good article of coal; and the best is always
the cheapest. In proportion as coal has broad fiat
pieces of dull coal dust look it is "bony" and
worthless. If the Jumps are smooth and of shiny
black color, and of shape approaching square, that
more We will add, in addition, that if in burning
a good article of coal the fire should happen to go
out if the Jumps taken out and washed free from
the ashes, they will burn much more readily than
without this treatment. With the hard "bony "
coal spoken of above however, this treatment will
not avail it cannot be made to burn again. Exam

The New Motive PowER.-The Paris correspou.-
dent Of the London Star states that the whole OF
the scientific world is in state of revolution at
the bare prospect of the success obtained by III.
Lenoirs new motive power, for which we have been
prepared for many months past. The trial has been
made at last and the result has excited the greatest
interest throughout Paris. As usual in all great
discoveries, that made by NJ Lenoir is founded up
on the simplest fact in science being merely the
application upon large scale of one Of the ele-
mentary experiments Of chemistry-that of the
synthesiS of water in the radiometer He has simply
utilized the principle of the expansion of air when
at lofty temperature, by means of combustion
through the spark of induction of hydrogen. The
economy produced is calculated at not less than forty
per cent. by the suppression of the boiler, the
chimney and the other accessories hitherto used in
the construction of steam engines The machine it.
self offers saving of thirty per cent. Several
engines, varying from five to ten horse power, con-
structed by Marinonl have been despatched to Eng
land and Belgium. NJ. Hardouin has ordered one
of twenty horse power for the works hurrying on
ip the Isthmus of Suez. This new machine, which
seems to realize every dream of inventor and manu-
facturer, by offering immense result of power IN
exchange fer mere nominal supply of fuel, is about
to be tried on some Of the French railways. Until
then it would be premature to pronounce the asser-
tons made by the inventor and his friends as the re-
suits of proof

Ohio and Indiana are not near so large as at first
claimed. There is, therefore, some little room for
hope that those States will vote against Lincoln
The Democrats have gained five members of Con-
gress in the late elections. This will make the next
House, which will assemble in December 1851
Democratic, as again Of five makes a difference of
ten in majorities. Both branches of Congress and

SILK MANUFACTURES IN THE UNITED SrATEs.-The
United States Economist says!
1t is estimated that there are now about SO mills
in operation in different parts Of the United States
in which from 5000 to 10000 hands constantly
employed. About threeiourths of the operatives
are children under 16 years of age who engaged
at comparatively trHng wages. The entire value
of the machinery and mills connected with the silk
trade is estimated at S3OOO,OOO The average cost
of manufacture silk goods is about one-hat Of
the value of the raw material. Taking, therefore,
the value of the import Of raw silk in 1859 at 81,
OOO 900 We shall have about 1000 900 the present
value of the annual production Of silk goods in the
