monte OMERY Nov. 22.-Gov. Parsons de-
livered his message to the Legislature to-day.
He urges the adoption Of the amendment to the
Constitution of the United States abolishing
slavery, and the passage Of laws for the pro-
lection of the property Of negroes, which, he
says will secure the admission of one more
representative i'll Congress, and restore the
State to her political rights in the Union. He
approves the special code for the government
Of negroes, and recommends the adoption of
vagrant laws, to be used upon black and white
alike, aud suggests vagrant laws similar to those
of Mississippi be adopted. He also recon-
mends that provision be made for destitute
white and black persons.

WASHINGTON, Nov. N.-Cornmandant Muir
ray, Of the u. S. steamer Rhode Island, reports
this morning the arrival of the rebel ram Stone
wall at the Washington Navy Yard. The only
incident Of the voyage which he has to report
is the sinking of coal schooner, which ran
across the bow Of the off Smiths Point,
in the Chesapeake Bay. The night being dark
it may have been an accident, but to all ap-
pearances the schooner, from Some motive,
purposely encountered her fate. There was an
unavoidable delay in bringing the Stonewall
away FROM Havana, owing to u arrangement Of
her machinery and the Keeping Of holidays by
the Spanish officials, who cx ended to our Off
Gers many courtesies and unexpected ciyilitics.
Tho total amount paid to the Cuban authori-
ties for the custody Of the rams ordnance stores
and provisions, was $40, ,0o4.
The Farragut court martial, who are engaged
in trying Commodore Chain for failing to attack
the Stonewall in the harbor Of Ferral, will to-
morrow embark on this ram for the purpose Of
testing her sailing qualities.

This provides another substantial evidence
that the National debt will be paid by the South
as well as North-that even in those States
where the contendng armies bivouaced and in
which business pursuits were for four years
well nigh suspended-eyen those States, in the
short space space Of six months have risen from
abJect depression to healthy, vigorous con-
dtion
When Congress meets-our dispatches of
yesterday informed us-Secretary Stanton will
present to that body the names of great num-
Der of Generals and Paymasters, whom he will
recommend stricken from the pay rolls and
discharged the service. Secretary Welles will
doubtless make similar report relating to the
Navy, and we doubt not Congress- under the
healthy influence of Andrew johnson, will
take such action as will materially diminish, or
have tendency to diminish the National debt.
One of the tables above furnished, show that
while the aggregate principal of our debt has
diminished, the interest has increased. This
has been in consequence of llquidating indebt-
edness which formerly paid no interest, with
obligations whereon interest accrued
The following exhibit will show the aggre-
gate of illegal tenders in circulation: (

Total. $685., ,7O9, ,61O 90 $sIs, ,125, $40 90
The compound interest notes are practically
withdrawn from circulation, reducing the volume
of our currency by nearly two hundred millions.
But, including these, our aggregate currency is
put down by the Secretary OF the Treasury as
follows
Government Legal Tenders $685. 709, Gil
Notes Of National Banks 203, S17, ,355
Notes OF State Banks (about) GO, 900, 900
Total currency. $S97, $50 966
The telegraph of yesterday also informed us
that bill would be presented before the next
session Of Congress, to repeal the proprietary
stamp system. We trust this will not be done
In the aggregate, the revenue thus derived,
amounts to a very large sum per aInum, and
is felt only by those well able to stand it. To
the retail dealer or purchaser it need not work
a hardship. and if repealed, would not, in our
opinion, lead to decrease in the price of the
articles thus exempted. Hence, the only effect
it would have, would be to relieve the few at
the expense of the many.

COMPOSITION OF,WATER,.

\ Water consists oftwo perm anent gases cons
densed by the force of chemical affinity to the
liquid condition With one of these gases
oxygen, you have already been made familiar.
The her is that light comt,ustible gas called
hydrogen, fourteen and a-hsif times lighter
than air, and by far The highest form iol mat
ter known. One cubid foot of water Yields
more than 1900 cubid feet of mixture of
these tw gases and so persistently do they
relain their aeriform condition, that not even
Q pressure Of twenty to ne on the square inch
Is sufficient to reduce them to liquids. Yet,
immense as this pressure seems, requiring all
the mechanical skill of man to apply it, that
force must be etill greater which is constant
~ acting in every drop of water, to hold these
highly elastic gases in the liquid state.
It is difficult to estimate the magnitude of
such power, as our only standard OF measure-
ment is the quantity of some other force
equally immeasurab.e, which is required to
balance the first. Wa,er is easily decomposed
by electricity, and tbs amount of this agent
required TO force apart its constituents may
give you some imperfect conception to the
magnitude of the power by which they arr go
Imprisoned. 1t has beer proved DO Professor
Far aday, that it requires more electricity TO
decompose a drop of water than to chargs a
thunder-eoud, What revelation Of power
we have here j In every drop of water there
is q constant striving of the elements to ess
cape ! they are exerting a force to break tie
bonds that unite them with strength which
can be measured only by the power Of a valt
and almost illimitahIe amount of!s leetricity ;
and yet this immense force is kept in check by
a force Of equal over and so exactly bal
lanced that not the slightest disturbance can
occnr. Mighty as this influenee is it is mere-
ly one manifestation of His eeaseless power
who "measureth the waters in the hollow Of
his hand.n Fr es Ie3., , g..

THE MANAGEMENT OF BEES.

Procure straw hive about sixteen inches
in diameter, 10 the centre of which make a
hold to the extent of two inches; take off the
edge of the inner side, to allow more room
for the bees to ascend put in a bung moder.
stely tight, and il viii then be ready for use.
Have ready smaller hive 10 fit on the top,
withoutan aperture to allow the bees TO go
in or out, y Let a swarm be procured in the
regular way, which must remain for the first
season with the bung In, and with a covering
TO protect it from the weather, standing on a
pedestal, but not too near wall Should
the swarm be a very early one, symptoms,
such as bee keeper is acquainted with, will
appear then dress the hive, and withdraw
the covering 10 the two-inch hole. But this
will most likely not require to be done till
the following year. When the top hive has
been on Say from the 10Th Of May or the lst
of June, according to the season, to about the
frst week in August-in order to procure the
honey made in the two previous months, take
q thin wire, place 1t between the hives, and
separate the fastening which the bees have
made. Draw the top hive upon clean board
or q sheet of tin, and carry it two yards off;
have ready large garden pot to stand the
hive in; and should the operator have snfi-
Gent nerve, be may strike nearly all the bees
out into q large dish, and replace the hive
in the pot, and in twenty minutes all will have
left. A strong stock is always the cheapest
to maintain, and less liable 10 intrusion from
other bees or wasps. When bees are torpid,
cut off the top of the hive, and introduce a
one-inch deal board, 18th hole ready pre-.
pared spd unite it with the hive by long brads
The owner will perceive that he has still his
bees sufficiently provided tor during the win
ter, and himself amply repaid for the trouble
he has beed put to. There will be no anxiety
in saving or looking after a swarm, no going
off again, no loss of time, and not so numer-
Gus collection of hives, because each stock
will be so much stronger than an ordinary
cottage hive. teHB D9faa~aoa sftT ad5

NEW STYLE OF DRESS.

The latest novelty worthy of remark among
the Modes Parisaceasaes is the introduction OF
a new style OF drees; but the dresses must be
seen and examined TO ne thoroughly under

Bile presenting two or even three diff rem.

ing to the formation of The pattern The
variety of appication O this happy idea is end
less: a walking-dress may in lew iustanls
belcnovertediuto dinner-dress; and vice. versa,
and thus save considerable time and trouble
by avoiding the Inconvenience of Refreshing
This Invention patented by Mesars Jay Of
Regent street Loudon, has found favor with
many of the Pafisiau houses. 1t ia not ne /
cessarily much more expensive than ordauary
dresses; and when the advantages of :. double
or triple robe are taken into consideration ii
is reasonable to suppose that the innova ion
will BE- we'll patronized Although We have
only sigionalized theinvention a applied to
dresses which we have seen and az mired in
Paris, it is susceptible of application to man
ties ami other garments, for which ID FASH
ion of the day encourages originality aud
variety of design, rather than the adoption Of
a special table.
