Whether the distiller's wort stops at
the alcoholic fermentation or passes into
the acetoas, is chemical question on
which hangs his profit or loss, and the
brewer, if his business is sufficiently
large, finds it pay to keep chemist on
his premises. Glance through a work
on technology, and it becomes at once
apparent that there is now scarcely any
process in the arts or manufactures
over some part of which chemistry does
uot preside. And then, lastly, We
come to the fact that in these times,
agriculture, to be proftably carried on,
must have like guidance. The analysis
of manures and soils; their adaptations
to each other; the use Of gypsum OR
other substance for fixing ammonia: the
utilization of coprolites; the production
of artificial manures-all these are
boons of chemistry which it behoves the
farmer to acquaint himself with: Be
it in the lucifer match, or in disinfected
sewage, or in photographs-in bread
made without fermentation, or perfumes
extracted from refuse, we may perceive
that chemistry affects all our industries
and that, by consequence, knowledge OF
it concerns every one who is directly or
indirectly connected with our industries.

FRANKFORT, KY, September 8, 1861.
The long agony is over. After three days
of debates and discussions, resolutions,
amendments, motions, substitutes, claims
and c0unter-claims, the Senate has at last
arbitrarily disposed of the whole matter by
admitting Messrs. Grove, Fisk, Baker, Whit
aker and Bush as members Of its body, and
summarily dismissing the remainder Of the
claimants TO their homes.
In caucus last evening the Union Senators
unanimously nominated John +. Fisk, of
Kenton for the office Of President and J. H.
johnson, editor of the Frankfort Common
tOedlth, for Clerk. As the Union men COM
prise two.thirds of the Senate these gentle
men will undoubtedly be elected without
difficulty, and the Legislature will proceed
Immediately to business.
The Governors Message will probably be
delivered to. day. l send you an advance
copy, which will probably engros5 all the
space you have to spare.
The town is full of distinguished person
ages, John @. Breckinridge, Ex-Governor
Moorehead and others being among them
These latter gentlemen held conference
with some other leaders Of the Secession
party of this State, at the Governors house
last evening. What transpired of course i:
unknown, but it would not be surprising i
some startling events should occur here be
fore long. GILBERT.

more rapidly.
A SUGGESTED IMPRovEMENT.-The landing
on the Cincinnati side leading from the ferry
platform is in a very bad condition for pe-
destrians. We would suggest the same be
improved, and we are certain upon its COM
pletion the owners of the landing will be
| hailed as great benefactors Of humanity.
Gentlemen do not let the walk remain in its
present condition any longer.
