A correspondent has sent us a start
ling letter from Miss. M. Betham-Ed-
wards, from which we give I'm extract:
IL send You the particulars of n recent
scientific invention, just patented and
destined, without doubt to play very
important partin Our economic history.
| think il must be regarded rs a solu-
ton, for once and for all, Of the great
coal question, or rather fuel question,
not only among ourselves but abroad.
NJ. Bourbonnel of Dion, the celebrated
lion and panther slayer, lighted upon
the following discovery by hazard, and
after six years persistent investigation
brought II 10 entire workable perfect
ton. lie dicso, ere d by means of two
natural substances, inexhaustible IN ma
turc, the means Of lighting and main
tanning fire without wood or coal; q
fire instantaneously lighted and ex-
tinguishcd fire causing no dust,
smoke or trouble fire costing one
tenth at least of ordinary fuel; and
what is more wonderful still, a fire, the
portion of which answering to our fuel
Is everlasting, that is to say, would
last lifetime. NJ. Bourbonnofs in
vcntion comprehends both stove and
fuel. The fire could be Oh the minute
est scale or ON the largest. They would
be used for heating babys food or
for roasting an OK. Being lighted in
simultaneously, there will be q great G.
economy of time. NJ. Bourbonnel al
once patented his invention, and a
body of engineers and sayants from
Paris visited him, and pronounced his
discovery one Of the most remarkable
of the age. He has had several offers
for the purchase ofthe patent in France
but wants to sell II in England, his own
occupation being in another line. An,
English gentleman, or firms, wishing
to ace his fires or stoves, could do 81

From the Clarksvillc ToJacco-Le0J
we sec that the famous whiskey suits
have been brought to termination
In 1852, just after the fall of Fort Don
olson and Just before the arrivals of the
Federals at Clarksville, n meeting of
citizens appointed committee to poor
out all the whiskey in the saloons and
liauor stores. The suit was brought
to recover damages against various
prominent moneyed men alleged to
have been in the meeting, on the
ground that it was Il lawlcss dcstruc-
ton of property. The defense rested
upon an alleged right TO destroy prop
erty which endangcr life md proper
ty. IT became necessary to take much
proof as to the character of the FEEDER
al army and its acts. Many difficult
points of law were involved, and one
Of the cases was tried once and revers-
cd by the Supreme Court. Costs have
accumulated and it has taken about ii
years to make it apparent that a conf
promise was the best termination. The
amount prid by the defendants, $3.50
will perhaps pay only..a part of the
expenses Of the plaintiffs. Nashville

The remarks of Judge L. h. Houston
ofAberdccn, Prcs't of the Stock Breed
ers Association, on the 10th inst, OK
planatory of the objects and purposes
of the organization, were entertaining,
instructive and most admirable In all
respects. Instead of the so or 60 who
heard them we wish every farmer in
Noxubee county, could have been pres
emf, and listened to his sensible advice
and wise counsel.
/ He took the ground that cotton rails
ing Us conducted since the war in our
country, with free labor, is signal
failure, being exhaustive of the soil,
impoverishing to the land owner and
ruinous TO the material welfare of the
country. He thought that reform in
agriculture was the great need of our
State and to this end.the Stock Breed
er's Ass. was found. 1t was organized
ON the 9Th Of January last, in West
Point, by eleven farmers, approaching
the necessity for it, and now numbers
100 members, from all portions Of the
State.
Judge Houston, though one of the
first lawyers in the State, and in active
practice, is a leading planter and stock
raiser in his county. He is well posted
on all of the grasses adapted TO our re-
gion, knows well which have succeed
ed best, when and by whom they have
been tested; in fact seems thoroughly
acquainted with the advantages of our
country for grass and stock raising
He has studied the subject in all of sits
bearings, has had much practical expo
ricnce, large observation, and is thor
oughly convinced that agricultural re-
form is the only salvation of our coun.
try from continued financial distress
And the Judges right. We must dis.
pense with the great army of consum
ers miscaIled laborers, by sowing grass
cs and grain, raising stock, rotating
crops, spending less and in every pos
siblc way, making our lands more self
sustaining.
