soldiers stationed at Fort Moultrie, was tried
on Wednesday and Thursday by court-mar-
tal, at the Citadel, on charge OF embezzllng
government property, consisting of iron bolts,
bricks, &C., from the works. A valuable bar
rel of metal and bolts, as the corpus deficit,
had been seized at the Mount Pleasant ferry
boat wharf, just from sullivan's Island, and
this was charged to be following the track OF
several others which had met with ready
.sale in this city upon the sergeant's consign-
ment. The sergeant denies these facts in toto,
and alleges that the barrel had been sent over,
and was on Its way, to the Arsenal when
seized. officer May, who has since resigned
from the detective force, was in charge Of the
case and made the seizure. The decision OF
the court is not yet known, and will not be
made public until Srders are received from
Washington.

A NEW CULrvAroR.-Mr. j. R. Minter, OF
Unionvllle, has patented an Improvement In
cultlvators which promises to be of great i'm
portance to farmers and planters. 1t consists
essentially OF three working parts or plougha
attached TO suitable stock, and adjustable By
means of very simple arrangement of slots
and bolts. The central piece is small shovel
plough, attached 10 the standard; the side
pieces are winged scrapers, fastened to slotted
bars; the whole being calculated to stir the
entire space between the rows at one passage,
the adjustment rendering 1t capable Of being
adapted to rows OF different width; but the
crowping excellence of this new implement,
as claimed by the inventor, lies in Its use as
scraper at the first working of cotton. Fol
this purpose, the central plough is taken of
and the two side scrapers made to straddle
the row, cutting as close to the plants as Is de
sired, cleaning the whole bed at one move
ment, and leaving little work for the hoe,
thus making an immense saving Of labor.

CoLoRISG SEEDS FOR SowrEG.-Mr. ]. c. q.
Claussen, of this city, has recently taken out
patent tor an extremely ingenious and simple
device Intended TO insure the equal dlstIibu.
tion of seeds In sowing, whether in drills or
broadcast, By hand or by machine. In sowing
seeds that on account of their size and color
are undistinguishable from the soil, there Is,
In the ordinary way, no guide for the opera
tor, who cannot see whether his work Is done
uniformly or not. Mr.. Claussen proposes to
remedy this by colorlng the seed white by
first moistening them and then rolling them
in -four OF other suitable material until they
are coated. 1t is stated that this does not in
jure the seed in the least, and that when 1t Is
deposited in the ground the coating by the ab-
sorption and retention of moisture hastens
the process OF termination.

The greatest danger to the
Administration party, during the
next. four years, will be found in
it's unprecedented predOminance
over all political opposition
Having nothing in Congress that
can successfully prevent the pas
sage Of any arbitrary measure it
may see fit to inaugurate, it will
soen tire of a warfare that meets
no opposition sufficiently power
fnlto ctiCally accomplish any
thing, and thus will be led, like
the tabled serpentgto Ifasten its
fangs7of death intooits own vi
tails. So long as Alexander had
nations TO conquer he was brave
and valiant, but when he had
vanquished his last foe and met
no hammered armies to impede
his progress, he soon lost the
power to governhi himself and died
a victim to his own excesses.
Nothing is more dangerous to
the existence Of a political party
than too great an ascendancy of
political power; nothing is more
dangerous to republican institu-
tions, as all history proves, than
the preponderance, to a great
degree, ,aof political power in the
ranks Of a party organization.
Parties thus situated fall with
the weight Of self-bred corrup-
ton, and only that character of
public sentiment latent in all
government, above and beyond
the influence and designs Of evil
men, can preserve the unity of
civil institutions in such an
emergency. We do not affirm
that the success of the Radical
party, in the election Tuesday,
November 9th, will be the means
of the destruction of the Union,
but we do affirm as our belief
that the unparalleled extent of
the victory it has gained will be
the death-knell Of its distinctive
|party or organization. Exchange.

Quoted heat in the order given

also that the tightness or loose

fore evident in the selection of
winter clothing, and especially
that to be worn next to the

Quoting power, as wool and silk,
should be chosen, and the fabrics

AS regards the external gar
