Drinking Impure Water.-The
following deserves the CT n .ideration
Of the reader:
Set pitcher of water in a room
inhabited, and in a few hours it will
have absorbed from the room nearly
all the respired and perspired gases
of the room, the air of which will
have become purer, but the water
utterly filthy. This depends Oh tho
fact that the water has the faculty of
condensing, and thereby absorbing.
all the gases, which it does without
increasing its own bulk. The colder
the water is the greater its capacity
to contain these gases. AT ordinary
temperatures, a pint of water will
contain pint OF carbonic gas, aud
several pints Of ammonia.
The capacity is nearly doubled by
reducing the temperature to that Of
ice. Hence water kept in room
. awhile is always unfit for use and
should often be renewed, whether it
has become warm or not, And for
the same reason, the water in a
pump should be always pumped out in
the morning before any is used. That
Which has stood in pitcher over
night is not fit for coffee in the morn
ing.
Impure water is more injurious to
the health than impure air, aud every
person should provide the means Of
providing fresh. pure water for all
domestic uses.

Ito ! for Cincinnati.

The city, to which we refer, has
always been noted for the industry
Of its people. What would not be
undertaken by n Cincinnatian, must
surely be a poor enterprise, this we
have heard, and in fact know it from
experience, therefore, as n natural
consequence, our markets were, up
on whole, generally oyerstock ed
with wares, merchandise, and pro-
ducts of their industry. They
resorted to all sorts Of things to
make a few cents, or as they term it
coppers. We knew one in particu-
lar, whose sole business was, to steal
valuable dogs during the summer
months, and tax. them to New Or
leans in the Fall or Winter and dis
pose of them at enormous rates. And
vice versa, would steal good dogs in
New Orleans and take them to his
home and get the "needful" for the
brutes. We cite this, only to show.
what n speculative people live in
tina, portion Of the country. The
South was ever ready to receive
the products of their soil, etc, at
fair rates, thus affordins them splen-
did opportunities to turn into money
everything they could display to the
sight of the purchaser, but forget
ting this they arrayed themselves
against us, when the cry of "rcbel"
was raised by our enemies. They,
like many others, begin to feel the
effects, and doubtless would sacri-
6ce much, if they could b. excused
from participating with our friends,
in trying to convince us that they
are in the right, and We in the wrong.
How they feel is fully shown in the
following lines. which were publish
ed in the Cincinnati Gazette, "A Black
Republican sheet, of the most DISCUS
ting order. Here are the words:
1T is no uncommon occurrence 10
hear merchant pork packer or gene
raj business man say he would will
ingly give 100000 to $4,000 to
be put just where he was before the
commencement of the civil war"
We believe every word continued
in the above and look upon them in the
light ola viper singing its own bo-
dy, for they will not be able to hold
up under the pressure of the times,
and down they 60 into bankruptcy
with the con-oling thought. that they
brough, their ruin upon themselves.

The change in the time of the ar
rival Of the NicksburS mail, may pro-
baby cause some of our Texas sub
scribers to receive the their papers
a any or go later, if such is the case,
We trust they will attach no blame
upon our Office. Tho stage is ad-
vcrtiscd to arrive in our city at four
o'clock, \. NJ. but up to the present
writing it comes between six aud
seven, affording us no opportunity Of
getting our paper in the mail in time

tributable to the bad state of the roads,
and that better time will be kept,

Au article is published in the New

Real Condition Of the South" Th'
source from which the Post derived
its information, is, Of course, reliable
| :" A stone-cutter who has just re-
turned to this city from Montgomery
Alabama, brings some curious intor.
nation concerning the actual condi.
ton Of affairs at the tar South. A
mechanic, attending strictly to his
own business and taking no active
part in political affairs, but possess
ing great natural intelligence, he was
suffered to go and come at his plea
sure, aud improved his opportunities
by observing the tone of public sen-
timent in the late capital Of the
rebels.
He asserts that the wealthy plan
ters and other prominent men in
Alabama will rank themselves on
the winning side; that they already
begin to regard the chances of the
rebellion as hopeless; that the en-
forcement of the blockade Of the
Southern ports has digusted them,
for the reason that cotton cannot be
shipped nor provisions be brought
in; and that they are willing to
swear fealty to the Government, re-
quiring only the presence and pro-
lection of a force of Federal troops
to shake off the tyranny of the rebel
leaders. They see that the rebellion
must eventually be crushed, and that
so long as Davis and his fellow con-
spirators are permitted to hold the
South under reign Of terrorism ba-
siness must languish and the rebel
States drift toward ruin"

duction, and may be stuffed down
