of the common saw of the pail of milk

more than a score of years expenditure of
our really liberal educational grant on a
system of education which has been dis
carded everywhere else, and which, spite
of this fact, and of its manifest failure with
our own people, is yet persistently retain,

form of philanthropy without the pO,cer,

now to the question-what assistance have

elevation Of the people, by their example
of consistent purity of life People of
little mental cultivation are imjtafiUe rath-

powerfully influenced for good or evil by
example than by precept-hence there lies
on those above them, to whom they have
the right to look for example, a fearful le-
sponsibIlity in this respect. Such a re-
sponsibility rests in its w%eightiest and
gravest sense on the upper classes Of our
community. Now how have these classes
discharged their sacred duty Of exempIars

mental vice of illicit intercourse which

the ground three quarters of an inch, an
other an inch, and so on. At the depth of
IA #. the plumb was applied, and it was
then found that there was a depth of 81 in.
of water in the tube. The pumping appa-
ratus was screwed on, and in a few seconds
water was produced, abundantly pouring
out at a rate estimated to be equal to $50
gallon pr. minute. The soil into which
the adze or point of the tube had penetrated
was a bright sand, as was indicated from
the colour of the water, and which had
rushed through the perforators at the bot
tom of the tube. Extremely thick at first
the water by continual pumping gradually
clears itself until ultimately it is produced
without the slightest impurity. A variety
of questions were asked as to whether it
was not possible for the tubes to become
Ichoked or stopped up by the sand or earth,
and as to the facilities for withdrawing the
tubes from the earth. These questions
were answered to the satisfaction of those
present and it was also demonstrated that
the tubes could be withdrawn from the
earth in a shorter time than it took to in
sert them. 1t was also shown that by the
outlay of some e 5 or e 6 every man can
have his own tube-well and pump in his
back garden. The water produced is qua
ranteed to be entirely free from surface
drainage, in fact it is not only pure, but
cool and filtered"
The above account does not give an
accurate description of the tube-pump, but
more of it's capacities. From other sources
we are able to describe it more particularly.
The tube may vary in length from o few
feet to less than % it,; as the latter depth
is the greatest from which the mere atmos-
pheric pressure will force water. Should
it be necessary to penetrate to a greater
depth to reach water, then it becomes ne
cessary to dig around the tube in order at
the depth of at least 2s #. from the water
to apply a forcing pump. AS a rule tubes
of Is to 16 #. are used, and if it is neces-
sary to 60 to a greater depth fresh tubes
are screwed on. The diameter of the tubes
varies from II to 4 inches. The greater
part of the tube is of iron, but The point to
be drsvem into the ground is Of strong steel
perforated with holes. Inside the tube is

TUESDAY, 1sr SEPTEMBER 1868.

THE "PATENT TUBE WELL" is an
American invention; was extensively used
i'm the late civil war, as also in the English
expedition to Abyssinia. On both occasions
it has been thoroughly tested, and has been
found to answer its purpose. This purpose
is; in some 20 to 80 minutes, by a very
simple continuance, and at a very small
cost, to bring water from the underlying
layers of earth to the surface.
Before adopting the invention for use in
Abyssinia the British Government had it
tested by a party of the Royal engineers
under a distinguished officer. The expert
mcnts are thus described in an English
paper:
"Tubes OF various sizes were brought
into operation. Commencing with the
smaller, which is used for ordinary domestic
purposes the tube, II in. in diameter, was
driven into the ground some Is fl or 16 II
and, the pumping apparatus being affixed,
water was produced at the rate Of from 10
to II gallons per minute 4 ninrteem minutes
from the commencement of the operation.
When at the depth of Ia it. the use of the
plumb indicated that there wa about 81
fl. of water before commencing the pump
ing in the tube. The next tube tested was
a larger one, 2 in. diameter inside the tube
and D outside. This was driven into the
earth to the same distance as the former
IN twenty minutes, and gave a supply SO
'copious that it was computed that even by
hand pumping, something like 1000 gal
Ions Of water per hour could be produced.
A third tube, upon a, larger scale, was also
tested, 4 in. in diameter. This, of course,
took a longer time to be driven into the
earth, and a greater amount of power was
required. Surrounding the tube, worked
by cranks, was a monkey, weighing 600 h.,
every fall of which in the earlier stages
drove the tube into the earth several inches.
AS this depth increased, however, SO the
driving power of the monkey became less,
until, arriving at a depth of about 13 #
each fall of the weight only drove the tube
deeper half an inch; but by means of an
ingenious apparatus it was shown that the
power of the monkey could be increased

New Hanover County.

In summing up the causes OF the recent
defeat of the Conservatives in the late
election in this State, the Raleigh Sentinel
says
"Upon careful investigation of the numerous
particulars, pro and con, it will strike our readers
at once, that if the same organizatlcn and care
full pains taking had been general, which were e1-
hibited by the Conservatives OF Mecklenburg, Ora,
ven, New Hanover, Duplin, Nash, sampson, ana .1
others the most sanguine expectations or ths
Conservatives would have been reajjzed
So far as reference is made to our coun-
ty. we we'll merit the encomiums of our
Raleigh contemporary. It will be seen that
the Conservative vote polled is quite aslarge
as the registered white. The Radical
majority against us is no fair crit erion, as
the voting by certificate, intended to cover
fraud, was largely resorted to in this city J;
and though the registration BOOKS Will
show that many more negroes tnan whites
failed to vote, and the whites who voted
against us are known and counted and num-
her but O trife more than the colored Con-
servative vote, yet their majority is upward
of one hundred in excess of their register
ed strength. We have the names of many
negroes under age who voted, and even
those of dead on es, who voted by proxy.
Outside of Wilmington less than twenty
five white men voted the Radical ticket,
and even in the city, of those who resided
here prior to the war, scarcely SO many de-
serted their friends. We have much to be
proud of in New Hanover, and the county
will do as we'll again. Our people are
thrown in too close relations with Radical
ism and Radical leaders to be deceived in
to their meshes. Their public men are as
offensive as their principles. Neither will
ever commend themselves to an honorable

Movement to Call the Democratic National

AsHINGToN, April %, ]

The Congressional Democratic Executive
Committee have unanimously passed reso.
lutions requesting theDemocratic National
Committee to reconsider their previous &C
ton and issue call for the Presidential
Nominating Convention to meet in New
York early in June, instead of on the 4th
of July, as now arranged for. It is proba-
Die that a Congressional caucus of all the
democratic members will shortly be called
for the purpose of making the same re-
quest. The feeling appears to be unani-
nous that the day of meeting now fixed is
too distant, and that the political necessi-
ties and welfare of the party require an ear
ier period for the declaration of principles
and nomination Of candidates.
