AN ICE NOVELTY.

All day yesterday there was gathered about q
large tub in Charley Lacoume's st. Charles
saloon crowd Of the curious, inspecting what
proved to be one OF the most remarkable pro-
auctions chemical action has ever brought about.
Upon examination it proved to be q column of
ice thirty inches in height and eleven inches
square, from the Louisiana Iceworks. This
block Of ice was Of perfect transparency, and
even glass could not be more go. Cards and
newspapers could be distinctly read through it,
and the medium of ice could be hardly noticed.
This column was placed on exhibition yesterday
morning, and had diminished but very little at 6
o'clock last evening.
Il was exhibited ard introduced by MIR. Domi-
n'qne Poche u, who has hitherto taken such an &C.
tive part IN bull ing up the manufacture Of ice In
our community. and was frozen by the Carrie
process. For long time it WAS thought that ice
could be manufactured economically only in slabs
OF one or TWO inches in thickness, but after much
study Mr.. A. j. Mlchselis, the ice maker of the
Loulslsna company, determined to attempt The
freezing Of solid cake Of the dimensions of that
exhibited. For eight months he studied up the
idea, using the Care process, and now his Efforts
have been crowned with deserved success.
This young and scientific man merits conprat-
ulaton.
Next year it is learned this ice company will
turn out the same quantity they now do in slabs,
IN the form OF these purely transparent cakes,
weighing about 200 pounds. Several scientific
gentlemen inspected the block yesterday and
pronounced it, rs to purity and trans parency if
possible, an improvement on natures handi.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-Information
received mere is to the effect that a re-
QUESTION has been issued for the arrest
Of Senator John Patterson, and others,
upon the Indictments recently found
agains- them by South Carolina grand
jury. Patterson has employed the no.
torious Billy Cook, of this place, as his
counsel and will take the ground that
as United States Senator he has the
same privilege as Minister of the
United States; and, that having been
elected and commissioned as Senator
subsequent to the time his offenses are
alleged to have been committed, he can
not be brought to Columbia for trial
until his term Of Office expires. II this
plea should fail. he will fall back upon
the expedient Of disputing the validity
of Hampton's title to the Governorship.
which ne hopes will delay matters, and
perhaps transfer his case from the State
To the Federal courts.
