ID BY SUPERHEATED STEAM.-The under
signed respectfully informs the people of Clear
field and adjoining counties that he has the agen-
cy of the above patent-and will sell individual,
county or township rights for its use The lum-
ber dried by this process is stronger, finishes bet
ter, is easier on TOOLS and requires less time in
drying than any other process known, drying
inch lumber perfectly in Sc hours better than
many months under the old system using the
same amount of fuel per day that a common kiln
consumes The certificate of a number of resi-

amply sufficient to convince the most sceptical of
its utility. Persons desirous of purchasing rights

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
TO MISS ELLA

Oh think os me fondy, no flower that springs.
But some fond recollection Of happiness brings;
No bird ever carols his sweet native laws,
But speaks to my bosom of earlier days.
Oh {! think of me fondly, at noon on the bill,
Il thou see'st the young kiss the bright flashing
riii,
Whose eye as thy own, its beauty increased
Marked the day-god Of glory arise in the east.
Oh think of me fondy, when moonlight looks down,
Aad glad evening smiles meath its bright jewelld
crown,
Whose rat heart with thine to the land of the best
Roved softly, while watching tie star of the West
Oh! think of me fondly, when music is near,
Some long buried echo will wake in thy ear
Whose tones may bring back that fond measure of
yoIe,
Which, save in our memories, we ne'er may hear
more.
Oh! think of me fondlY, as wandering roam,
Exllsd from country, and loved ones at home.
No mother to love me to enhance my bliss,
No fond sister to greet me with her sweet kiss.
Oh think of me fondly when weary lay,
In the tent with my comrades at close of the day;
And if in battle should fall with the brave,
Oh think of me then and shed tear nay grace.

THE PRESS .

THE mission of the press is a very noble one,
and in general, it has been nobly falfed.
Count its many services TO mankind, and COM
pare them with the services OF every other exiS-
ting institution, and it will be found that not one
of them, not even the pulpit Itself, has been
widely beneficial in its action and influence.
First of all, it has ever been the watchful guar
dian Of the liberties of the people. In the broad
light of knowl edge which it diffuses through the
land, tyranny, which loves the darkness, cannot
exist. Hence it is that one of the first steps
which despots take In the stride towards power
is its complete suppression, or the destruction
of its freedom.
1t has also been the reformer of innumerable
abuses and the author or suggester of count
less improvements. 1t has built railways, open
ed ports, and founded charities. BY means of
the information which it has diffused among the
people it has elevated their character, human
| lied their sentiments and refined their tastes
Sometimes famiiarlzing science, sometimes ex-
pounding ethics, now defending religion and now
discussing politics or collecting news it has min
istered to ovory interest and co-op0ratvd iu ev-
cry lofty aim of christianizcd society.
The history of what the Confederate preSs has
achieved during this war would alone fill VOL
ume. In the beginning of the contest it aroused
the spirit of volunteering, aud since that time it
has furthered every public and every private
plan for the benefit of the army and the country.
Without It's assistance the former would have
been only half fed and clothed and the latter left
in almost u ter darkness as TO its own fortunes
and prospects.
Such is the institution which our panic -strick
en- and unwise Legislators would destroy for the
sake of the few men who could be Withdrawn
from it for the field Columbia South Carolin-
ian.
