CoMBUsTIBLE MUD.-Ata recent meeting
Of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Major RisIey
described combustible mud of which he first
heard last September It exists in large tracts
notably in the Pertabghur districts in Dude,
where there is ajheel OF swamp of black mud
which looks like ashes and shoulders like
wood The mud, when dried, blazes quite
freely, It has been tried at Cawnpofe by Mr..
Taylor, the locom ,tive foreman, and was
found to give very nearly as much steam as
wood. Kit would do very wen for locomotives,
and could be supplied at six annas the
maund.t' When charred it can be used in a
blacksmith's furnace. The ash, Of which it
leaves g eat deal, win, they say, be very use-
full as manure for poor sandy soils. bits Of
bone and fragments Of decayed wood were
found in it at considerable depths. The Cal
catta analyzers call it impure peat, resulting
from the continual decomposition Of vegetable
matter at the bottom ofamarsh., Its curious
that the natives, though wen aware Of its
properties, make no use of It; their reasons
being that it owes its origin to enormous sac

At period when the free and the slave
States were divided IN opinion upon point Of
rights under the Constitution; when there
must have been, inevitably, either COLI. ion
or compromise; and Wien at least eight
tenths Of the citizens of the United States
were sincerely anxious for such compromise
as in several similar situations before had saw

most unexpected move was made, which de-
stroyed the existing status, complicated the

free and save States, not only into greater
mutual distrust and anger, but into position
from which neither could recede. We mean
the occupation OF Fort Sumter BIZ Major An
Lerson.
The point here Is distinctly made. The re-

war is charged not upon the Charleston trai-

The Commissioners Of Agriculture reports
the condition Of the crops to the 1st Of Sep
tember as follows: Wheat, quality not good,
especially at the west, for 1t was effected with
blight and rust andwet weather during har-
vest. There is not so much of the old crop in
the hands Of farmers as has been supposed.
Oats, one of the largest crops ever raised in
the country. Hay was greatly injured at the
west, but very little at the east; the quality is
good, except in Ohio, Illinois and Missouri.
Corn escaped material injury at the west. { It
is the greatest crop ever raised in the loyal
States. Buckwheat, if not injured by prema-
ture frost, will be good. Potatoes, indications
OF rot in many localities, and in some places
much injured. The yield, however, win be
good, as the amount planted is greater than
last year. Hops ripened wellin all the States
except New York, there It is injured from lice;
the crop is therefore seriously injured, as New
York in 1851 produced nine and three-fourths
millions Of the eleven millions In the country.
rattened hogs show decrease of about one
tenth from last year, and the hogs are
smaller and younger than usual,

From San Domingo and Havassa.
NEW York, Sept 81. 8,
4 The steamer Columbia, from Havana, has
arrived. .,
San Domingo is quiet. The Protector
Cabrai has imprisoned his predecessor in pow
er, Pemustel, and his advisers are making
preparations for the election Of permanent
President. Gen. Valveid is the most promi-
nent candidate.
From Havana, royal decree orders that
the army in Cuba be reduced to the same
footing as before the campaign in San Domin-
go. This would imply a denial to the state
ment, that Spain was determined to reconquer
the Dominican Isle.
The Diario de La Marina declares, though
without giving official authority, that the Is
land Of Cuba now owes to Spain SIS, 900.
In 1927 the debt amounted to S167 100000, a
quarter of which has since been paid of.

TIE RfAsoN.-It is not quite Just to state,
as several city papers have, that Mr.. Higgins,
ofthe Congress Street Grammar School, left
his position 4because ofthe nadeqaacy Of the
salary" Mr.. 8. sought the place he has just
vacated, at precisely the salary he now leaves.
II was an increase of what he had been receiy-
ing for years in the same State to which he
now returns. It was apparently quite SAITH
tory to him,-as he purchased q house and
settled down to his work. But wider field
of usefulness offers, with increased remunera-
lion; and he very properly accepts it. The
reason therefor may be stated to be, rather,
The promotion of an excellent teacher to
more responsible and ariuous duties, and con-
sequently an increased remuneration. d.
not think that inadequacy of salary to our
teachers, can be fairly charged to the an
thorities OF the city. They compare well with
the other city salaries-and VIC ought not,
ourselves, to convey the idea through our own
plpers, that we are niggardly in this respect.
