Is NEW ENGLAND DYING OUT?-Hall's Jour-
mel of Health returns the following spirited
reply in the negative to this question, the af-
irmative of which the desponding ones are SO
fond of quoting
About three fourths of all the children born
in Boston during 1865 were ofparents born in
a foreign land; therefore, argues one Of the pa
pers, the Yankee stock will in time die ont in
New England" We think by that time, Yam
kee stock will have pe0pled, viii be the pre-
dominant stock OF this continent, from the St
Lawrence to the Gulf.and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific shore. Because Yankee inteili-
gence knows how to rear children to maturity
while foreign ignorance and filth kills almost
as soon as born; for ont of every hundred chill
dren dying, cishty-eight are OF foreign parent
age, and this has been the rate for tie last five
years in New York city, where the native non
uiation is per cent, and the foreignl5f af
nearly equal and it is presumed that th5 same
proportions hold good III all our large edes.-
in Boston are of foreign parents, and IS per
cent. die, it Is very easy TO see that they might
as well have not been born at all, and great
deal 'mightier." as far as the question of the
foreign outstripping the Yankee stock is con-
cerned. The fact is, neither Yankee men nor
Yankee principles, nor Yankee rift, will ever
die out, while this planet is inhabited ;and if it
Is ever depopulated by contlagration, the last
survivor of a smOuldering world will be Jona-
than at the death singly and alone, resoiutely
trying TO put out the fire; il by famine, the
last LOAF OF bread will be owned by Yankee

SOMETHING NEw.-An Automatic Turn
Table" has been constructed at Saco River Sta
ton, Portland & Rochester railroad, by
young mechanic, Mr.. freeman Hanson, which
bids fair to make an entire revolution in the
construction of railroad tuln tables 1T is turn
ed by tile weight of the engine, running upon
an inclined platform set upon sar wheels, and
balancing upon pivot over to the upper side
OF the track, when the platform and engine is
carried around a half circle turning the engine
BY its own weight. This is capital invention,
labor saving, safe and rapid of execution, and
it seems must come into general use Its con-
struction is simple, and at very much less cost
than those now in use, turned by hand orsteam
power.
Mr.. Hanson is young mechanic, whose gem
ius, as displayed in this instance, will entitlo
him to high position among inventors. He
has secured his invention by Letters Patent in
the United States, and We learn that measures
have been taken to secure patents in England,
France and Spain. We trust he may reap a
harvest of wealth from his new invention.

Message OF the Governor of son5h Caro-
lima.

- COLUMBIA, Nov. 27.
The Governors message was laid before the
Legislature to-day. 1t takes gloomy view of
the present condition of affairs, and attributes
the depression of agriculture and business in
the State to the intolerance of her conquerors,
and urges that the whole population should be
stimulated to work by letting them see that
labor is honorable and idleness reprehensible.
The message is mainly devoted to State affairs,
and says the result of the experiment of free
labor has been highly encouraging under the
the Constitutional amendment, which. the
Governor says, neither the interest nor honor
OF the State will allow her to ratify
