1t appears from the recent messages of
the Governors Of tho different States,
that the increase in State debts is enor-
nous since the war commenced, Ohio
not excepted. Our debt has increased
vastly, while at the same time u avail.
able resources, in almost every respect,
have diminished. owing to the heavy
drafts On the manual labor Of the State,
to fll the depleted ranks Of our srmies.
The Auditors report, recent" published,
shows that there has been a falling off
of about one million and a half in the
number of acres of cereal crops since
1861, and that the number Of bushels of
cereals is over ten millions less in 1854,
than in 1862. There is a corresponding
decline in all other productions. With
this decline, in connection with the CAPT.
tai in in United States securities,
exempted from taxation, the question of
taxation becomes a serious one for the
consideration of our citizens. The less
capital we have, the greater must be tho
rate Of taxation, Our expenses must be
met ; and that too by paying q per CEN
tage of our capital. Our expenses in
crease, while our productions decrease,
consequently taxation becomes more op.
pressive. We are only beginning to
taste of the bitter waters. Watch and
pray.

The sum Dial.

'Tis an old dial, dark with many stain;
In Summer, crowned with drifting orchard bloom
Tricked in the Autumn with the yellow rain
And white In Winter, like marbled tomb.
And round about its gray, time-eaten brow,
Lean letters speak-a worn and shattered row:
81 am Shade Shadow, too, art thou:
mark the time: say, Gossip, dost thou SOP"
Here would the ringdoves lnger, head to head;
And here the snail a silver course could run,
Beating old Time; and here the peacock spread
Ills gold-green glory, shutting out the sun.
The tardy shade slid forward to the noon;
There came dainty lady to the place,
Smelling flower, humming quiet tune,
Smoothing the willful waving of her lace;
O'er her blue dress an endless blossom strayed
About her tendril curls the sunlight shone;
And round her train the tiger-lilies swayed,
Like courtiers bowing till the queen begone.
She leaned upon the slab a little space,
Then drew jewelled pencil from her zone,
Scribbled something with frolic face,
Folded, inscribed and niched it in the stone.
The shade slipped on, no swifter than the snail;
There came a second lady to the place, ...
Dove-eyed dove-robed, and something wan and pale
An inner beauty shining from her face.
All the mute loveliness of lonely love;
She, straying in the alleys with her book,
Herrlck or Herbert, watched the circling dove,
And spied the tiny letter In the nook.
Then, like to one who confirmation finds
OF some dread secret half accounted true,
Who knows what hands and hearts the letter binds,
And argues loving commerce 'twixt the two,
She beat her fair young forehead on the stone,
The dark shade gloomed an instant on her head,
And 'twixt her taper fingers pearled and shone
The single tear that tear-worn eyes will shed.
The shade slipped onward to the falling gloom;
There came a soldier gallant in her stead,
Swinging beaver with a swaling plume,
ribboned love-lock ripping from his head;
Blue eyed, frank-faced, with clear and open brow,
Scar-seamed little, as the women love,
So kindly fronted that you marveleG how
The frequent sword-hilt had so frayed his glove;
Who switched at Psyche plunging in the sun,
Uncrowned three lilies with backward sweep;
And standing somewhat widely, like to one
More used to "Boot and Saddle" than to creep;
As courtiers do, yet gentleman withal,
Took out the note, held it as one who feared
The fragile thing he held would slip and fall,
Read and re-read, pulling his tawny beard;
Kissed it, I think and hid it in his vest;
Laughed softly, in a fattered, happy way;
Shifted the broidered baldrick on bis breast,
And sauntered past singing roundelay.
T.
The shade crept forward through the dying glow;
There came no more nor dame nor cavalier;
But for little time the brass will show
A small gray spot-the record of a tear.

A New Process .

Many of our readers doubtless read the
New York correspondence of this paner
published in last Sundays issue, giving a
description of q new process of roasting
ores, which the writer had examined! il
consisted in the use Of the draft kme-kiln.
with copper-heated steam to aid combustion
A kiln capable of holding fifty tons, for
instance, is filed by alternate LAYERS of rock
and furi, and set on fire. A stream of SUPER
heated, or dry steon, is conducted under
the furnace or bottom of the kiln, which,
being decomposed, the oxygen, which is the
great natural supporter of combustion. aids
the fuel In the complete destruction Of the
cohesiveness of the ores and sulphurets.
The sulphur being disengaged by the heat.
adds to the general combustion of the mass.
SO that the base metals and all combustible
elements contained in the ore are DESTROYED,
The heat is not so great as to melt the pre-
cious metals, but sufficient to thorouehly
disintegrate the matrice which holds them.
The process is perpetual, as the kiln is fed
at the top, and as fast as the ore is acted
upon it is removed from the bottom. One
half OF the contents of the kiln, or twenty
hve tons of ore, are thus reduced every dav.
the writer says, at an expenditure Of only
one cord of wood, or less. IL this statement
is correct in relation to the amount of fuel
required, it is a subject of immense impor-
tance to the people of this State, for the pro-
cess described ,saqes the heavy expense of
crushing by stamps, and necessarily saves
larger percentage of the gold and silver
than any process in use here. When ore is
so thoroughly reduced and desulphurized as
in the case described, little grinding be-
fore, or in connection with the amalgama-
tion, is all that is needed. The great saving
OF fuel resulting from the use of the heated
steam to aid combustion, in the manner sup.
posed, is particularly important to us, who
have to pay so much for weod, that we have
hitherto been compelled to forego the adyan.
tages that would undoubtedly result from
roasting our ores. Nothing is said of the
expense of producing the steam required,
but we presume that is not taken into
account, because the water or exhausted
steam from the engine used to propel the
amalgamating and grinding machinery,
would furnish a supply without cost. Ii
appears to us that the process is entirely
practicable, and that by combining it with
the grinding and amalgamating mill recently
invented by Colonel Collins, of this city,
the business of reducing and amalgamating
our ores economically and effectually is
brought very nearly to perfectlon.-H Hnginio

STAGE RoB8ERY IN IDAHo.-About noon
on the Goth ult., as the stage from Idaho to
Umatilla was entering Pleasant Valley, and
in sight of the station, some robbers ordered
the driver to halt. Failing to do so, shots
were fired, killing one of the horses and gra-
zing the head of the driver, who. with the
passengers, twelve or thirteen in number,
wero quickly leaving the coach and doing
their best to reach the station. Before the
ladies had descended from the stage, how
ever, they were surrounded by six men,
who, after helping them to alighht, robbed
them of ST., 900, inficting no further injury.
The stage was then ransacked of $l1 200
more, with which the robbers made good
their escape.
The firm of Hessburg & Co. were losers to
the amount of 81 100, and Mr.. Pebbler,
one of the passengers. to the amout OF

ANOTHER CHAIR FROM SETH KINMAN.-The
Danville (Pa.) american of August 18th
says: Kinman has now constructed a chair
to be presented to President Johnson-a
chair that surpasses all his previous efforts.
1t is made of two grizzly bears, captured by
himself. But we almost despair of giving
anything like an intelligent description of
the article. Suffice it to say that the four
legs, with the feet and claws in perfection,
are those of huge grizzly bear, while
the arms are the arms and paws of
another grizzly; the back and sides are also
ernamented with immense claws. The seat
is soft and exceedingly comfortable, but the
great Creature" of the Constitution" is, that
by touching cord, the head of a monster
grizzly bear, with extended jaws, will dart
in front, from under the seat, swapping and
gnashing its teeth as natural as life.
If the President should happen inadvert-
ally to touch the spring, We trust that the
seat of the Executive breeches may not be
ripped by the mechanical feroclty of the
concealed grizzly.-ED.
