REDUCING Ore WITHOUT STAMPS. - Tie
Idaho Statesman says:-Messrs Charles de
la Baume and Charles Maps, have filed "a
caveat to secure the patent right for pro-
cess Of working BY gamators, which re.
duces the ore without the aid of other MAJ
chinery, and especially without toe need Of
stamps. BY this method, the hardest rock
is rendered so soft that it may be readily
crushed with The fingers. The editor of the
Statesman says: I'VE selected a piece OF
quartz so hard that it could be broken with
difficulty, and in about five minutes Mr. La
Baume made it almost as soft as we'll burned
lime. The cleavage of the rock was entirely
destroyed, and every particle to all appear
ances set free. In word the disintegration
was perfect. The great advantage TO be
gained by this process is its cheapness. We
are assured by Mr.. La Baume that the necesl
sary chemicals will not exceed the cost of
one dollar per ton. The arastra or the
amalgamating pan is all the machinery re
quired. The plan is to- roast the ore in a
perpetual furnace, after which it is subjected
to a chemical bath, which completely disin.
tegrates the rock. In the composition Of
this bath consists the invention" Mr.. La
Baume is a practical chemist and has been
three years practicing at this process, which
is at length perfected. Some method is now
needed for tue separation Of gold from sand.
How to KEEP CHOLERA OFF-Many peo
pie says the Call, are anxious to know how
TO comport themselves in conduct and mat
tiers Of diet, so as 10 be free of the danger Of
an attack from cholera. Medical authorities
generally agree in the following propositions:
Keep the person aud premises clean; have
rooms we'll ventilated; avoid excessive use of
intoxicating drinks; be careful Of the diet,
and eat nothing but healthy and plain food;
eschew she'll fish when the cholera is about;
sxpe all fear from the mind; be quiet and
attend to business AS usual, be regular in all
habits, and generally abstemious.

The Future of the South.

We utter but trite sentiment, says the Ma
tionaZ Istellgencer, when we say that the future
of the South is in the hands of its young men.
How many of them are qualifying themselves
to manage its factories, control its railroads,
minei its ore, work its machine shops, and cult
vate its plantations? Professional men it has
in abundance-able lawyers, accomplished ply
sicians, eloquent speakers. These have their
uses, but the growth of State depends less on
them than ON the character of the men who
manage its industrial enterprises. What is
most needed in the South to-day is that the
young blood which fought for it so CALAMITY
should work it as determinedly. On the plan
tation, in the shop, in the factory, there the
South is to effect its true restoration The
young men who dug trenches and fed on homi-
ny and pork, who went clad in homespun gray,
and slept in cold or rain or shine under the can
opy Of the heavens to further the fortunes, as
they believed, of their native land, can now do
noble service by laying hold of its plough-han-
dies, turning its lathes, guiding its spindles,
handling its locomotives. But there is want of
capital No matter. They have youth, health,
hope, ambition, and good abilities They have
every incentive for which to work. Begin with
will, and success will crown their efforts.

The Radical Leaders,

The Richmond Wing says that now fresh
from victory, with the whole North in their
grasp, the Radical leaders threaten to 60 long
way beyond the constitutional amendment
Under the common defence and generalwel-
fare" clause of the Constitution, they purpose
to claim the most extraordinary powers-the
power to remove the elected Governors of the
Southern States, to declare null and void the
present Southern Legislatures, and SO to regu-
late suffrage as to place the elective franchise in
the hands of the negroes, and that far less re-
spectacle handful of men, improperly called
ssSouthern loyalists, it being assumed that any
terms Of restoration prescribed by the Northern
Radicals will be ratified and accepted by South
ern Legislatures thus constituted tits further
proposed to send Northern preachers and teach
ers to the South at the expense Of the Govern
ment and thus educate and conuet the white
heather.
This plan of salvation and reorganization is
the invention of that learned and pious divine,
DR.. B. F. Butler of Massachusetts,. This man
has stolen a march upon Stevens and Sumner,
and now stands before the country as the most
conspicuous and progressive leader of the Rad
icals. He has stolen their thunder, and super
added some of his own. There are no extrem-
tiles to which he is not prepared to go. In the
last few days, Bennett, of the Herald, has be-
come his lieutenant, and the spectacle is pre-
sented of two cross-eyed men, who are as re-
markable for their moral and mental as for their
visual obliquity, leading the Northern masses.
No wonder the North does not see straight
when it looks through two pairs of such crossed
and crooked eyes,

Spoon Butler.

The Richmond Times says ''that thieving
poltroon, Butler, is still preaching Impeachment
of the President with as much earnestness as
Peter, the Hermit, waged the crusade against
the Saracens. The path of the hero of big
Bethel is not strewn with roses, however, as
the victims of his various grand larcenies, en-
couraged by the success of the pillaged banker,
who recovered fifty thousand dollars of him by
SUIT are instituting their actions against Butler
In every direction. IF these proceedings as
sumo criminal shape, we think it not improb-
able that Butler will be learning some useful
mechanic art, in State prison, long before the
President is elected from the white House. !"

rascallty would grace Penitentiary better than

Constitutional Amendment.

1t is now decided that the requisite three
fourths of all the States cannot be induced to
adopt the proposed Constitutional Amendment
The Radicals will probably assume that it is on
ly necessary to have the adoption of three
fourths of the States now represented in Con-
gress. Should they assume this demonstrations
al position, they will be checkmated by COLI
sion with the President and the Supreme Court.
The judicial as well as the executive depart
ment OF the Government, has repeatedly recog-
nlzed the rehabilitated States, and bound itself
by these precedents. Instead of treating spu-
rious amendment ratified only by three-fourths
OF the residue as a part of the supreme law of
the land, the judiciary would disregard it en-
tirely, and treat it as perfect nullity.

The constitutional Amendments.

The question, whether the Constitutional
amendments shall be adopted, involves subject
vastly more important than the immediate
changes which amendment are designed to
effect.
If the power Of alteration extends as far as is
now assumed for the pursposes of these propos-
ed amendments, then it is plain that the power
also extends to the complete obliteration of
States. The exception in the Constitution
forbidding amendments which would deprive a
State of its equal representation in the Senate,
can itself be amended and erased.
The provisions that no State shall be divided
without its consent, can be amended and erased
It is as easy to make New York two States,
and New England one State, as it is to pass
these amendments now before the people, If
these are passed the precedent will be establish
ed. There will then be no limits to the changes
which, in political excitement, will be urged on
by radical men on both Sides 1t is therefore
the very body Of the Constitution which is now
in dangerr
We beseech the radical leaders to face this
great truth and give it due attention. The
future of this country is not within the view of
living prophets; but there are innumerable
reasons for their belief that the majority of more
than million now opposing the radical measures
will In time gain the power in Congress and
in the State. When that time comes, there is
every reason to suppose that sectional party
will again spring up.
That sectional party, however, will not main
tain Northern against Southern interests 1t
will in all probability be party in which the
South and the West will be united against the
Northeast. The grand questions of political
economy, which are to be the controlling ques-
tons in our country, will be very likely to enlist
men in the manufacturing and consuming parts
of the country, while the interests of the pro-
ducers will tend to bind then together in other
parts Of the country.
The South and the West are more homoge-
neous than the South and the Northeast The
people of the South and the West are much
alike, especially along our. great rivers, where
they have a great deal of inter communication
In that day of which we speak, firm unalter-
able Constitution will be an invaluable guar
antee to the East and the North. A week
Constitution, easily amended, the subject of all
the winds of popular caprice, will be as useless
as the paper on which it is printed.
Adopt these amendments now and we shall
have established precedent which takes all
the strength and firmness of the Constitution
away from it, and deprives it Of the vital force
which is necessary to permanently T.

Financial Revolution.

Kappa" the Washington correspondent OF
the Richmond Eransiner, under date Of No
vember the 25th, says that the Radical organs
have the impudence and folly Of imputing the
present monetary and business arrangement to
the Presidents policy of restoration. What is
more remarkable-they find the people ready to
believe it. While engaged in reasonable plot
to overthrow the Constitution, and usurp the
Government they can find no cause for CONNER
cial panic, except in the opposition ofthe Presi-
dent to their will. They WILL before February,
unless all signs fail, produce, by their action,
financial revolution that will bring the Radical
States to their senses.

Home Manufacture.

We have frequently urged the Importance OF
establishing and patronizing home manufactures
of all kinds in the South. We are pleased to
see other papers urging the same views upon
the minds of the Southern people The Rich
mond Wing says that the South can and ought
to manufacture at home everything that she
produces, and sell and benefit by the profits OF
her products She ought to make her own
woollen and cotton goods her cloths, hannels.
hosiery, blankets her calicoes, sheeting, shirt
ing, &C., &c. her plows, hoes, axes, rakes, &c.;
her saddles, brides, shoes, &c. her carriages,
wagons and carts her labor-saving machines,
and every farming implement and kitchen uten-
sill, all articles of household furniture, locomo-
tive engines, cars, railroad iron, &C., SC. The
South ought to do all this work, and the con-
viction of this has at last taken possession OF
the Southern mind Her engagement in these
industries is only question of time. The pc
Rod has arrived when they have become ne
cessity, and while present circumstances are not
such as to favor their early development on any
scale of magnitude, we can and must make those
small beginnings which, at no distant future,
we hope, will be expanded into a general and
complete establishment of home manufactures
and home markets.
Those who live long enough will yet see the
South the manufacturer of its products. We
raise the raw material for most classes of manu-
features, and the most important metals Our
coal-felds and our water-power are without
limit, and we produce all the food required for
laborers When labor and capital shall be
brought hither and employed in manufactures,
we can make and sell our fabrics cheaper than
any people on earth

Water Power at Richmond.

Richmond shouldebe one of the most impor-
tant manufacturing cities in the United States.
IF it does not become such it will not be the
fault of nature but Of man. The engineer of
the James River and Kanawha canal reports
that for 100000 the water power can be in
creased near Richmond so as to furnish 100 fac
tories with water power. He shows that there
is 1000 feet of front on the river between the
city of Richmond and the first lock, and that
by charging the canal there will be afforded IA
ciites for furnishing at least 100 factories with
water
