LIQUIFYING QUARrz.-The New York Commer-
ciay 4dcertiser thus refers to manufactory which
has lately been opened in that city for the above
purpose, in which twenty powerful machines are
employed night and day:
As fast as the rock is converted into powder
1t falls in trough below, and is thence collected
into common receptacle, whence it is conveyed
to a " digester," where singular transformation
takes place. 1t is here rendered soluble by means
of super heated steam and chemical alkaline
preparations, which converts the mass into Ll-
0uor of Flint" The metals which combine with
the rock or quartz are not affected by this action,
and may readily be separated thus rendering
the process Invaluable when applied to rock con-
tanning the precious or useful metals"
Not only, says the .adodrtiser, can coarse pave
ments be made in this manner, but bricks can be
manufactured much cheaper aud of better quality
than from clay by the present process;
"The invention is not confined to these uses
even, for the finest marbles may be moulded at
will and made to assume any shape desirable.
Paint made from it is incombustible and will
protect anything covered with it as perfectly as
if it were made of stone. A slight and ineXpen-
sive previous preparation of the wood of ships
bottoms with one or two coats of the properly
prepared flint, will make petrilied surface,
combining with the woody fibre, as durable as
copper, and it will always keep free and clean.
N fact. this new agent, or rather this new dscov-
ery from Natures great laboratory is applicable
TO so MANY purposes that in its present infant
state we cannot conceive what may not be done

SwINDLING OF CALIFORNIA EMIGRANTs.-I view
of the great number of persons continually being
swinded by bogus ticket venders, aud which has
grown to be great grievance, the N. Y. Hratd
recommends the appointment, by the Legislature
of California Of one or more Commissioners, to
reside in New York and supervise the emigration
appears impossible for our courts to reach the
numerous bands of fellows who ropresent them
selves as agents for the different lines aud clerks

in evadng the law and swindng the public
But if there was some Commissioner duly accred

WE are in the bondage of old superstition, and
the worship of nine hundred and ninety nine
churches in thousand is yet tnged with the
sombreness illustrative Of the heather element Of
fear. The lghtness, the gaiety, the cheer of true
worship, is but little known among men. What
the hiiarity of children is, breaking away from
masters and schools and romping home to over
power the household with joy, such is to be the
worship of Gods children. The name of Fdther
ought not to make any man tremble that is

THE Portland Courier is informed, on the most
reliable authority, OF most singular and unpre-
cedented circumstance which took place in con
nection with the late earthquake. A married
woman residing not thousand miles from Var
mouth, but whose husband had been absent about
two years, was delivered of healthy and spright-
ly child shortly after the shock.

UNAccoUNTABLE PHENoNENoN-The Palestine
(Texas) AdOoeate of the oath OF October, has the
following statement "About six miles from
jacksonville, on the road leading to this place.
we came across queer pheno menon, few days
since as we were returning home. large ditch
was scooped out of the side of red mountain,
by huge volume of water 4; rocks weighing
several tuns were torn from their base and thrown
distance of twenty to thirty feet saplngs
were torn up by their roots, everything gave way
to the immense force of the water. The trench
commenced near the top of The mountain, on the
north side, and there was no accumulation OF
water above the head Of the ravine, the grass
and weeds were untouched, and every thing goes
to prove that it fell in column at one place,
Some idea may be formed Of the volume of wa
ter, when we say that it left traces down the side
of the mountain. 10y which we determined that it
was about thirty feet wide and ten feet deep
descending at an angle Of about eighty degrees,
it swept everything before it, The main trench
washed out was about ten feet deep. Upon in
quiry ia the neighborhood. we learned from a
Mr. George that it occurred on the night of the
30th September, and he described the night as
one of terrific grandeur the flashes of light sue
ceeded each other so closely that 1t was nearly as
light as day, and the thunder never ceased to
roar for several hours he was therefore unable
to tell any thing in reference to this phenomenon
except that the next morning it was as we have
attempted to describe it.

In his late report the Secretary of War asks
for an appropriation Of $4,000 for experiments
in rifed cannon suggests that much OF the
present artillery can be rifle grooved, and need
not, therefore, be wasted and recommends that
the light troops should be armed with breech
loading arms. The facts that it is inhuman to
send troops into the field ineffectively armed ;
that muzzle-oaded weapons must sooner or later,
be entirely superseded, and that even the cavalry
will be armed with carbines and revovers, instead
Of sabres, are adduced to support this recommen-
daton. While all the nations of Europe are
making every effort to supply themselves with
the most scientific and effective weapons it is
certainly the worst of policy to continue, with a
misplaced economy, to restrict our troops to the
old musket and horse-pistol. Even the Indians
now provide themselves with better arms.

BRoDERIoK's WTLL.-The New York Times, Of
December 7th, says it has received the statement
of Billy Mulligan concerning the alleged forgery
of Senator Broderiok's S will. 1t is full and par
tcular, giving names and dates and all the details
published, because it is ibelous The only wit
nesses are the parties concerned who would not
testify and Mulligan himself whose testimony is
rendered worthless by his conviction. The Times
further says that the matter calls for the rigid
Investigation of the legal authorities, and that
there has always been mystery about the will
which has never been cleared up to the satisiac-
ton of the public. Muligau's statement will
doubtless make its appearance soon in some OF
the papers of that city

averaging thirty six separate libels to every one
hundred lines, Twenty five thousand dollars
apiece are charged for the libels.

SENSIBLE TAIK.-John NJ Bolts declares he
will have no part in the wickedness of secession,
and thinks that Virginia will not secede. He
saws the position of South Carolina is bold, plain,
daring, aatfooted rebellion against and treason
to the President of the United States. He thinks
the only question involved in the Carolina i'm
broglio, is whether it is worth while to keep her
in the Union. lie believes that the Federal laws
should be enforced in South Carolina, notwith-
standing an ordinance of secession, and is bitter
on the secession party.

CLEANLINESS of person, decency of conduct
and proprety of manners, are as essential to the
comfort and happiness of the social state, as a
cultivated intellect and well ordered store of
practical knowledge are to individual success.
When regarded in their relation to society, those
decences, which have been aptly denominated
the minor morals" rise at once to Importance
