Qua QUIET c1rY.-The most Joyous holidays Of
the year have passed; and while we look with
alaazemen at the records of crime committed in
some other places during this period, when many
allow themselves too free license for indulgence,
we must really: congratulate our people on the few
tranquility which has perveded our city. At no
part OF the season have we been more exempt
from disturbances OF all kinds and at no time
have the nights been quieter, or the streets moro
free from the midnight cls1nor Of the noisy crowd
than now, as will be clearly seen by our daily re-
ports Of the Mayors Court the cases in which are
usually slight offences against the City Ordinancee,
or misdemeanors Of minor importance. Even
the strike, which occurred o few days ago among
the stevedcres, was not attended with any Of the
disorder which notice often happens with SINH
Lar affairs in other cities, and the laborers have
now returned TO their work as quietly and regu-
lGrly as il no disagreement had ever existed be-
tween them and their employers. |
While We admit that weu-regulated police
such as we have at present in our city, assists
much in promoting good order, we believe that q
large portion Of the class OF persons, both white
and colored, who used to be troublesome CUSTOM
ers, have seen the error of their ways aud are neg
endeavoring to sin no more. The colored portion
Of the community have certainly improved, and
we are happy to say their numbers at the Mayors
Court have greatly decreased, while their general
conduct cannot be better than it is at present. It
pleases us much to mention this, and it makes MS
hope that this portion Of cur people, who were be-
guiled by false tongues, and for time drew of
from old associations, are beginning now to dis
cover who are their best and truest friends.

This feat Will be performed in 42 days and AZ

sirous Of creating notoriety, and has taken pc

cles to conclude his present task satisfactorily. A

Yne President,a n1essags.

President johnson has put before
the country another able State paper,
which from its sound reasoning, ad-
herence to the principles of the Con-
stitution and its remarkable modera-
ton, must command the support and
sanction of every right thinking man
in the country. The message, although
of extraordinary length, is, we con-
ceive the ablest ever issued from the
Executive Office. Itscounsels, if heed
ed. would speedily re-nnite the cnnn-
try, infuse life and vigor into every
branch of industry and put the peo-
pie of the United States once more
on the high road to greatness and
prosperity. We will endeavor to
notice its prominent arguments and
recommendations in q day or two,
and in the meantime earnestly crave
careful perusal of it from all our
readers,

business prosperity of the ee..n.syy. y ].
Hon. r. j. Walker, on solicitation,
has published in the National Lateli-

views on the subject, occupying six
closely printed columns of that paper.
Mr.. Walker is well-known as an able
financier, and his opinions will re-

of all parties.
MIR. Walker contends that the
policy of Secretary McCulloch will
ruin the country and force repudia-
tion. he advocates o revenue tariff

Most Valuable Discovery.

NJ. G.. Stevenson, in the Atlanta
LnteHigeneer, notices in an elaborate
article q most wonderful disco sera
which has been made by Louis s.
Robbins, by which any kind of tim
ber can be made to last for centuries.
It has recently been patented, and is
now being introduced into the arts
by ship and house builders, furniture
end carriage makers, &c. In ship
building an idea can be had of its value
and Importance, as the wood is not
only made to last for ages, but is i'm
pervious to the attacks of the teredo
'naUahs. which frequently in tropical
climates destroys whole fleets in a
few years. In railroads, particularly
for bridge timbers and sleepers, the
saving is immense. In this country
there are $4,000 miles of railroads,
with $500 ties or sleepers per mile.
which last on an average only about
years, and cost 81 each-by this
process, it is claimed, they would last
for ages. In 25 years, this scientific
writer estimates the saving in railroad
timbers alone would reach the enor-
nous sum of $500. 100000.
Another value attaches to this in
vention peculiarly applicable to the
Southern States--that our soft woods,
such as sap pine. cotton wood, &c.,
can be made, at trifing cost, as
useful and lasting as oak. The writer
gives the rationale of the process rs
follows:
'Albumen is the constituent in
wood which first decomposes, and
herein the process of decay or putre-
faction commences and proceeds
until the woody tissue is DESTROYED.
But the albumen in the sap is coaeu-
lated by the application of q high
degree of heat, and also by the anti
septic power of creosote which the
oleaginous vapors deposit in the cell
iular tissue. Coagulated albumen is
insoluble in water, and hence it is not
Hhpie 10 De cnangeu Dy exposure to O
humid atmosphere. The essential
oil, disengaged and vaporized by dis
tillation, preserves the elasticity of
tile igneous fibre of the wood, and
protects it against injury from the
ordinary vicissitudes of temperature
and moisture. When wood has been
thus treated by coal tar, or the btu
minous oils, it undergoes certain other
changes from subsequent exposure to
the air. The essential oil loses por-
ton of its hydrogen, at the same
time it takes up an extra portion OF
oxygen from the atmosphere and
hence becomes resinous."
This may be interesting to scienti-
fic men; but whatever the process
