VERY SIGNIFICANT. The New York
Press, with scarcely an exception, approve
OF the bold Proclamation Of Gen. IRE
MONT, declaring marital law in Missouri
and liberatiag tic slaves Of rebels found IN
arms against the national government.
They think that lie would not have dared
to hurl such thuuderbolt, without the APP
proyal Of the Cabinet az Washington. But
our impression is that the Administrators
rather desired that Fremont should under
take the experinent-but did not dare to
commence it at Washington. There are
occasions in which leaders mus mark out
great tracks for others to follow, and Cen
eral Fremont has done that. Mil@aahee

~ t1,ha Beer-sseed.n


of the " 43eer-Seed,', Or California
yeast Plant" the Newbprypot (Mass.)
Herald Says
& Beer seed, OF, rs It is sometimes more
appropriately called, the beer plant, q sort
of vegetable "what IS j" imported from
CALIFORNIA, that land Of wonders and Cd
.dities. IS attracting considerable attention
among the curious. il is small, willte,
irresE.aiar shaped substance, not unlise rice
III general appearance, and possesses the
property Of starting fermentation IN bot
tie Of sweetened water which in twenty
four hours results ia quite palatable beer.
The seed seems all alive during fermenta-
ton, rising and falling in regular currents,
the ascending platoons discharging their
gas at the surface and falling back to reload
like regular soldiers. But the most sin
gular thing about it is its property OF
propagation or indefinite multiplication,
without any change Of its structure q de-
Neaopment--that Is, il does not grow UP
into plant and 90 to seed, bus each seed
brings forth new seed, and that another,
,oq 5Rf,itum. There is Of course much
speculation about its nature, many locking
upon it with almost supeFstitious curiosity,
as if it were an exception to all known
Jays Of life and growth. We are inclined
to think, however, that it is simply g new
species Of the Crytogamus genus Of plants,
which includes, besides liehena, MOSES,
DC, that have regular vegetable stluc-
tufe, yeast, ferments, mold, vegetable ard
animal fungi, such as smut on gram, and
cancers and warts on animals, and prob
ably also the principle Of cholera, potato
rot, and other epidemics. These exhibit
the very lowest form Of organization-a
.eosgegies Of cells, from which all vegetable
and animal tissues are formed, each cell
having an individual life Of its own, grow
ing and propagating Independent Of the
general life of the system to which it be-
longs SO that it may live and grow after
the cessation Of the general life. These
SoRey orders Of plants are for the most
part illustrations Of cell life proceeding on
its own hook, and not developing iuto the
regular structure Of roots, stems, leaves,
and capillary tissue 10 this class the
beer seed seems to belong, which has an
analogue, as we have heard several remark,
in the well known vinegar plant.
