cotton, with the cultiyators in vogue in
the prairies west, would be better than
the Southern style. The work of these
Kansas men is a yerification of his judg-
ment.
Finding that they were so well pleased
in every way, wanted to learn what
they thought of the country and what
aspects most struck them. The old gen
tleman was rapid and good talker,
and had TO take my notes very rough
", but here are the most salient con-
trasts: He likes the climate and soil
better than any country he has ever seen;
thinks il a fine country for grass-grow-
ing and raising stock; thinks it a better
corn country than any other, and the
corn is better in quality; thinks If better
for oats than any State except New
York. | told him that there had been
over 100 bushels raised TO the acre in
Mississippi, which rather staggered him.
He thinks it delightful for breezes, and
not as hot as in more northern States;
likes the nights in summer; climate all
right; no insect pests except the boil
worm; no house-fies here compared to
the North; hardly any mosquitoes here;
no fleas; no flies TO trouble stock; no
nets needed for horses; never has seen
a fly Yet on COW when milking her /;
thinks he can make more off 10 acres
here than 50 elsewhere; had had one
chill; all the rest Of the family have
been perfectly healthy. Gle had many
chills in the NorthwesD.
These. in a rough way, give his i'm
pressions, and are of interest to me par
ticularly, as corroborative of what /
have said about the country as TO health,
fertility of soil, exemption from insects,
ETC., in my letters and talks. These
men are delighted with their expe-
rience; with the climate, soil and peo-
pie. Seeing they were so pleasantly
impressed with every thing, | told them
they had better 90 over to Starkville;
so they, with the Messrs. Young, went
over, and saw grass to their hearts
content at the Jersey stock farm of Col.
W. B. Montgomery: and now thev add
to their other favorable impressions the
full confidence that grass and thorough
bred stock can be raised.
| am looking to see good many
poor but industrious men come down
to follow the example of these Kansas
emigrants. have not before advocated
cotton-raising, but when it is such
success as above, let us have down here

LIMITS OF Microscopic VISION

LIMITS OF MICROSCOPIC VISION
1t being believed and stated by many
that the power of the microscope could
not be developed to a much greater ex-
tent, DIR. Royston Pigott has made an
experiment Of making miniature of n
very minute object, such as spiders
web, and by these means found that OBJ
jects as small as the one-millionth of an
inch could be seen by the aid of the mi
croscope. Opticians should, therefore,
still use their energies to improve object
glasses and other accessories. The
present power of compound micro
scopes is now limited TO about 1900 di-
ameters; this is equivalent to charging
the object 100000 times. Still, with
such an immense power, objects are
seen which are mere points

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.-Ac-
cording to the Scientific -inerican, Light
ing gas with the finger is feat any
body may perform. Let person in his
slippers walk briskly over a wooden ear
pet, scufiling his feet thereon, or stand
upon chair with its LEGS upon four
tumblers to insulate it, and be rubbed
there up and down a few times with a
muff by a second individual, and he will
light his gas by simply placing his finger
to the tube. 1t is only necessary to take
the precaution not TO touch any thing or
be touched by any body during the trial
of the experiment. The shock of the
electricity acquired by the process we
have described is discharged by contact
with another object. One person must
turn on the gas while another fires it. 1t
is pretty sole to say, however, that the
above method will never bankrupt

The DEMOCRATS and the Greenbackers
of the West are now making an at
tempt to splice teams for 1850, and
they hope that their movement may be
followed all over the Union. The west.
ern Democratic organs say that if this
is done an undoubted victory awaits
them, and there will be an end to the
Republican party, and in counting up
their strength they say they cannot
only elect but that they will have
twenty electoral votes to spare. This
is but another of those Utopian ideas
under which the opposition to the Re-
publicans have been laboring for the
last twenty years. They have built
air castle after air castle, only to have
them toppled over by Republican VIC
tories. The picture looks grand in the
distance, but its transparent character
is easily detected. Distance lends
enchautment to the VIEW But this
union question is not so easily settled,
until it is known which party is to be
"gobbled up The Greenbackers
have Leen proluse in their denuncia-
tions of the rottenness Of the Democrat
ic party, while the latter have been no
less sparing in branding the Greenback-
er5 as men with minds too narrow to
look through milestone, even though
it had hole through it as large as a
barrel. What terribly terrific army
this combination would make.

II THE Democrats in Congress can
force an extra session they will obtain
some advantages that are not to be de-
spised. They will at once have con-
troll OF both Houses of Congress,
they will have majority in the Senate
with power to turn ont the Republicans
who nov hold office under that body,
and to give the places, two or three
hundred in number, t. Democrats who
are too hungry to wait until next De-
cernher they will secure the Speaker
ship of the House and control of its
organization without running the risk
that death may reduce or destroy their
slight majority before December, and
they will have chance to put through
good many jobs which canno, he
passed while the Senate is Republican.
The scheme attempts to make the Re-
publlcans responsible to the country
for the expense OF an extra session, by
lacking to appropriation bills, which
ought to pass, political amendments for
which no Republican can properly
vote but if the extra session is called
the American people will comprehend
the situation and place the RESPONSE
bility where it properly belongs.
