A NEGRO PROPHET IN VIRGINIA-Hop
the creatures are Hun,Jaggcd.-A correspondent
of the Alexandria Gazette thus writes from Han
over county, under date of 9th of July: early
yesterday morning every road and by-path of our
lovely land was filled with hurrying crowds of
men, women and children of the colored race,
vending their way to the home of Baylor, the
prophet. Baylor is an old negro who has seen
the Almighty face to face, and talked with him
as man talks with man. He knows all things,
present, past and future. He has wooden angels,
good and bad, which he keeps chained in his
domicile who perform at his bidding the most
extraordinary feats, and over whom ne keeps
vigls night aud day. He gives to all who ask
it the body and blood of the Saviour. He has
constructed chariot in which he sits, and from
which he discloses his wonderful visions and as
founding revelations, and in which he designs to
ride triumphantly to Heaven, like Elijah Of old.
To this strange being hundreds of the sons and
daughters of Africa, for miles and miles around,
were speeding their way, putting, blowing, fan.
ming, seetbiEg and sweltering beneath the melt
ing rays of the July sum- to drink in the streams
of supernatural wisdom which flow from his

A SIGNIFICANT FAcT.-When the Demo-
cratic party is a unit, it is invincible. For the
first time in ten years the old organization now
presents an undivided front to the enemy.
There is but one wish and one desire among
Democrats in all the States and that is for the
success of the good old cause of Constitutional
Government. We have had enough of expert
ments-of trampling Constitutions under foot of
arbitrary arrests of test oaths, and of the sup
preston of free discussion.
The Democratic platform opens up the way of
escape, and the people are endorsing it in the
North, in the South, in the East and in the West.

Congress, we shall be able to realize once more

A Wonderful Invention.

The conversion of the soft and feecy fibre of
cotton into hard and solid substance like horn
and ivory, is one of those remarkable discoveries
which distinguish the inventive genius of the
present age. This surprising transmutation of
vegetable matter has, however, been accomplished
by different persons almost simultaneously, both
in Europe and this country, like many other
great inventions.
These inventions are all fundamentally alike
in treating cotton fax, and other vegetable fibre,
by first converting it in the usual manner with
nitro-suphuric acid into pyroxiline or gun-cotton
The gun-cotton is then dissolved with either and
alcohol to produce collodion same. The solvents
are evaporated from the solution of pyroxiline or
gun-cotton by slow and difficult processes, and
the residuum, when in plastic state is subjected
to pressure in moulds to form it into solid
substant in any desired mass or shape.
This new material is substance as distinct
from the original vegetable matter of which it is
composed, as caoutchouk or India rubber in its
natural state as a gum is from vulcanized rubber.
1t resembles horn and ivory in texture and quail
ty, and like those substances may be applied to
the manufacture of combs, buttons, and various
objects of use and ornament. In it's pure state
it is transparent like amber, and admits of any
shade of coloring, from pure white to jet black.
DR. McClelland has made special application of
it to dental plates in imitation of the natural gum;
and for this purpose the purity of the substance,
as we'll as it's great strength and the beauty of
the color, appears to adapt it admirably. Perfect
limitations may also be made of coral and tortoise
she'll

The BANKRUPT Bill.

The following is the text Of the bill to establish
uniform system of Bankruptcy throughout the United
States which has now passed both houses of Con-
gress:
"Be it enacted That the provisions of the second
clause of the thrtyhrd section of said cha not
apply to of proceeding in bankruptcy common
ced prior to the first day Of january, 1862 and the
time during which the operation Of the provision of
said clause is postponed shall be extended until the
said day of January, 1862 and said clause is SO
amended as to read as follows: In all proceedings
in bankruptcy commenced after January, 1869, no
discharge shall be granted debtor whose assets
shall not be equal to fifty per centum Of the claims
proved against his estate, upon which he shall be
liable as the principal debtor unless the assent in
writing OF majority in number and value of his
creditors, to whom he shall have become liable as
principal debtor, and who shall have proved their
claims be fled in the at before the time of
the hearing of the application for discharge.
"Section 2. That said act be further amended as
follows: The phrase presented defended, /" in
the fourteenth section Of said act shall read prose
cuted defended the phrase nonresident deb
tors" IL line five, section twenty-five of the act,
printed in the Statutes at large shall read "non-
resident creditors; that the word 'or' in the next
to the last line of the thirty ninth section of the
shall read ''and and that the phrase section thir
teen in the forty section of said act shall read
''section eleven and the phrase spends any part
thereof in gaming" in the forty-fourth section Of
said act shall read cor shall spend any part there
OF in gaming" and that the words "with the
senior register orr and the phrase 'to be delivered
to the register, in the forty seventh section of said
act be stricken out.
''Section 8. That the Registers in Bankruptcy
shall have power administer oaths in all and
in relation to all matters in which oaths may be ad
mnistered by Commissioners Circuit Courts of the
United States, and such Commissioners may take
proof of debts in bankruptcy in all subject to
revision of such proofs by by Court accor
ding to the provisions of said act"
1t will be seen by the above that the time in which
debtors may avail themselves of the benefit of the
law, without paying fifty per cent of their indebted
ness, has been extended to the let of January 1862
