ft'ESDA Y MORNING, SEI’f.ai.
Cot,. Dcmti.o’n RtNtiMCiATtojc.—Col. Thos. W.
Duffield, long a lending and active whig in Phils- i
delphia county, came to the monster democratic
meeting in Philadelphia, to hear Col. Bigler's
speech, and brought with him from the little vil
lage of Prank ford tvxntf-ti/eht more of the same
sort. After the address of Co!. Bigler, Mr. Duffield
was called out when he made a brief speech, de
claring, that inasmuch as the great whig party,
that he had s» often done battle for, had dwindled
down to a sectional abolition faction, be renounced
all allegiance to it, and henceforth would support
the pany that stood by the Constitution and its
j compromises, fie agreed entirely in the senli
j ments of Col. Bigler ou the subject of the compro- |
I mise and would give him his cordial support.
I Thu Colonel is one of the real working boys,
j and makes his mark wherever he goes.

1 aarooi..—It is said that Mr. Vanderbilt is making
> arrangements to establish a regular steamship line .
- from 8an Pranciaco via Nicaragua and New York
to Liverpool. The New York Commercial Advcr
| tiser says:
1 "The plan proposed la for the new steamship
Northern Light to run between this port and Liv

rhe new steamship Daniel Webster, which are to |
make alternate trips to and from San Juan. En- j

| dust consigned to English houses, wUicu now goes
j by the West India steamers, and the tide of emi
I gration wiii be relied upon for a sufficient quan

I a new steamer to navigate Lake Nicaragua."
A Not roa Tiucolocians.—Somebody has disco

j " Buuyan does not make his hero ever conlri
I but one penny for any religious enterprise, though
: he has him to exhibit most of the Christian ex
cellencies m great attractiveness and beauty. It

be bad. The fact that Christian, and Hopeful,

! without giving away to the work of benevolence
| a single dime, must be very encouraging to the

days/’ _ _
Paist'a Lioht.—Mr. Paine lias announced that
he is now ready to enter into contracts for lighting
the world with gas. In an address to the New
England papers, be says:
“ All the objections of the patent office ate now
overruled, and my patent will issue in its proper
order and time As regards the originality, or
practical value of the invention, 1 would remark,
that both subject* have been made the subject of
critical experimeuts by eminent chemists, (whose
names and statements can he seen at my bouse,)
and they decide that it it both original and of great >
practical value.
I am now ready to contract (where I have juris- j
diction) to light hotels, factories or private dwell- I
ings, with a superior light, fifty per cent less than
that of any artificial light known.
Hkn*c M. Pams.
The •'ire aanibilutor.
The vapor which is emitted from one of these
little machines is said to have precisely the same
effect upon flame that is produced by damp in a
well. Flame cannot exist a second in this vapor;
and yet it can be breathed without the slightest
inconvenience. Dickens, in his “ Household
Words,” devotes several pages to this invention.
We make the following extract from hts descrip
tion of the burning of a bouse, got up expressly
to test the powers of the Fire Annihilatin':
“ Mr. Phillips assured them there was no dan
1 ger. ss he had perfect command over the flames;
' at the same time he requested the company to ob
' serve that he had purposely arranged that evety
! disadvantage should be against him. The house
was full of combustible material—the whole
j Lnuiding w.as in a thorough draft, (it was indeed,)
; and they would observe that the commencement
j of the full force of the fire would be almost'imrne
I diate, and without any of the gradual advances
' which were usual in almost all conflagration*.—
| Lastly, he called on thrm to take note that the
i fury of the flames would be such that no life could
' exist near them for a single instant.
1 “ Without further words a lighted match is ap
■ plied to one of the tarred and turpentined shav
ings that hang in the ground-floor of the house.
“It sparkles—Mazes—and in one momeul the
lower room is full of flames. In the next, they
have risen to the floor above—they crackle, roar,
beat about, springing up to the roof and darting
out tongues and fork* to the right and left of the 1
| building, while a dense hot cloud of smoke, full I
of red (ragincnU of shavings and other emliers, j
comes floating and dancing over the heads of the
1 assembled company. Every body has risen from ;
; his seal—ladies—gentlemen, snd now ail the visi
: tors are crowding towards the other end of the 1
• building! Tbe whole place is titled with the roar
1 of the flames, the noue of voices, hurrying feet, j
and rustling garment*—snd clouds of hot smoke !
nut sunueniy a wan enters the duuumw irma a
aide door, bearing a portable Fire Amu Viator of!
the size we hare mentioned; he is followed by a
aecond. The machines are vomiting forth.* dense
white vapor. They enter just within‘the door
way of the blazing house. A change mstanl'y
take* place m the color and action of the tiames
a* though they grew pale in the presence of then j
master. They sink. There is nothing but dark
ness—and the dense white vapor coiling about in
triumph'”
Vivitiu WisHivi HccKirr.—Add one gill of
alcohoi to a gallon of toft soap, and mil intimate
ly: Apply the soap to the clothes in the usual ,
way, an I let them soak s mm hours in tfn- suds; >
then rmse out with very little labor or rubbing.—
The editor of the Ame rican Agriculturist obtained
the above feunthe steward of ilte Insane Hospital
at Hartford, who says there it not an inmate of the
establishment but what has reason enough to ap- ;
preeiatc its value.
Kbw Cool..—Avoid too much working, eating,
and drinking, and thinking, Una hot weather. All
three heat the blood aud brain. Fartieularly avoid
getting in love nr hi a passion. And that you
may be sure of not getting into a cloae prison, to
he preyed upon by flea*. musquitoes. and other
minute monsters, don't carry a •word-cane', a pu

Worth Knowing.
It is said that a small piece of rosin dipped in
the water which it placed in a vessel on the store,
will produces peculiar property to the atm*wpb««
of the room, which will give great relief to persons
troubled wiih a south. The heat of the water is
sufficient to throw off the aroma of the main, and
givea the tame relief as is affbnled by a combus
tion, because it is more d arable. The same ream
may be used for weeks.

THE SONG OP IRON.
B'ir U. W. CVTTEX.
AuVtarof the “Song*/ Slram,” “C Pluribut Vn
urn." etc.
Heave the bellows and pile the fire,
Like the red and fearful glow '
Wheiethe crater’s hind clouds aspire
• O’er the darkened plains below;
Let the wqighl of your poudrous hammers smite
With the power of the n contain stream;
Or thunder beneath the earthquake might
That dwells in the arm of stemu!
Tbo' I can not boast the diamond's hue,
The tempting gleam of gold,
With which, by the srts of the grasping few.
The nations are' bought and sold;
Yet in my presence more priceless lar
Than the blase of tbo earth's royal gem.
That ever has kindled a ducal star,
Or flamed in a diadem.
In the fearful depths of the rayless mine
My giant strength was laid,
Ere the sun, or the moon, or the stars that shine
III the boundless heavens were made:
Ere darkness was rolled from '.lie deep away;
Ere the skies were spread abroad;
Ere the words that called up the light of day
Were breathed by the lips of God!
Yc were but a poor and powerless race
Till ye wisely sought u.y aid;
Ye dwelt like the beasts of the savage chase, j
111 the gloom of the forest shade;
Where often the uotnad yielded his hearth
To the wolf, in pale affright.
And the tooth of Ihe lion stained the earth
With the blood of the troglodyte.
How helpless ye saw the descending rain,
The water's resistless flow,
The frost that seared the verdant plain,
And the blinding drifts of snow! ..
For you no steer his neck would yield—
No steed your stave would be;
\ e trac'd no furrows along the lie HI,
No pathways o’er the sea!
The myriad stars came forth at even;
The bow of God was bent,
Inscribing the wondrous laws of Heaven
O’er the measureless firmament.
Bright constellations rose and fled;
The fair moon waxed and waned;
But the record which they nightly spread
Unknown to you remained.
But when some prescient spark of mind
Invaded my lone retreat, I
Aud ye learned my Proteus form to bind,
And fashion, with fervent heat.
The glearning sword from th« flames )tap’d out—
And the hook for the golden grain:
And the air grew vocal with freedom’s shout
Where the tyrants of earth were slam!
Then rose th« dome and lofty tower
Where the groaning fonst fell;
And the massive guns looked frowning o’er
The walls of the citadel.
The dizzy and tapering steeple sprung,
And flashed in the summer air;
And the pendant bell in the turret swung
To summon the world to prayer!
Stout ships encountered the howliug storms
On the track has sea secure;
For l held the fate of their gallant forms.
And my grasp is strong and sure.
Midst the lightning's gleam and the tempest’s roar, ,
They feared not the angry main,
For they cast their trusty anchors o’er,
And laugher! at the hurricane.
At ray touch the massive column soar’d!
The graceful arch was thrown!
And forms of beauty the world adored
Rose up in deathless stone, ,
Ye rivalled the tints of the Mushing dawn
With the hues my dust supplied, ,
Till the humblest work of art has shown
Like the mist by rainbows dyed.
I come where the suffering patient lies
On his couch, ail wan aud weak;
And the lustre returns to his sunken eyes.
And the bloom to his pallid check.
Ye fear not the roar of the thunder U»uJ;
Yesleep with the storms around;
For the bolt 1 dutch ill the threatening cloud
Falls harmless to the ground.
Where I tread, the erooked paths grow straight
The old hills disappear;
And 1 draw each distant hostile State,
in friendly commerce, near!
Swift through veins by the lightning hurl’d,
Your thoughts like the tempest sweep,
Till knowledge has covered the roiling world,
As the waters have covered the deep.
And soon ye shall see my massive ore
In many a grander pile
Than ever adorned the Tiber's shore.
Or the banka of the ancient Nile.
The sacred temple shall rear its roof,
The cottage for social glee,
The frowning fortress, thunder-proof,
And the ships of every sea.
Then hurra! ye fearless sons of toil!
Your nation’s strength and pride!
May ye reap a harvest of golden spoil
O'er »)« can u ana t: e ocean wm
May your ponJruua hammers ever smite
With the power of the mountain stream;
Or thunder bcncWth ghe earthquake might
That dwell# ift the »rm of steam!
A New Spki i i.itios.—According to the Cour

with a view tu take them to California, where gold

ture of more than two hundred of tbene young
fugitives waa sold at the Place it* !a Hotn$« on the
15th ult., they beine unu tiling to incur a hew ttmu
of rent. The speculator in question, who is an

Cnanrrn.il Rsmtuutiok.—Some years ago, there
Jived m the interior of Connecticut, an old farmer,
whose name has been made familiar to the nation
by the distinction of one of his sons, ami who was
famous, far and wide, for his hard dr.riktng and
his wit. On one occasion, under the. pressure of
an utiusually large brick, which accidentally got
into his hat at the Tillage inn, the old man strayed
into the graveyard near his residence, where he
found the navigation somewhat rougher than he
was prepared for. The consequence was, that be
fore tie got Ur, he atumbied headlong betw en taro
we'l rounded graves, which were lying in hi* path,
where he found that it wm easier for a ic-n in 1
his situation to lie down than it waa to get up. <
After screral inelfeetual elTocts, and leaning now 1
upon one of the graves, and now iifion the other,
fx the support he required, he fell tiack, and i
throwing hut bands our over Ihe sods which cover- 1
ed the remains of his nearest neighbors, he «
claimed, •• Well! wvei Kind; 1 ** tW, >

, An Auction »c«tne.
The Cincinnati Rnquirer relates the following:
S rolling through our city we chanced into an
nction Turn lo see what bargain* we CouM make,
'hi' auctioneer was upon the stand with a piece
f cal ico.
“ Right cent* a ya'd ! who says ten?”
"Tit give you ten,” says an uld Indy.
" Oiling at ten ! Doing ! gone! fours mehm; j
valk in and settle.”
*• 1 didn't bul on it," exclaimed the old lady ad
ran-ins.
“ We'll thank persons not to hid if they don't
van! an article." said the n.urtionwr. “ Gome,
hen, at eight! who says more than eight !*’
" Nino cents," said an old gentleman opposite
is.
“ Nine ! nine ! who says ten ? Going at nine !
roing! gonpfef^ Yours, sir. Cftihtakes it .at nine
:ents.”
"I didn’t bid," said the old gentleman. "I
lon't want it—wouldn't give }r. i five cents for
he whole pieee.”
[Auctioneer getting mad.] * If any one bids
igain they will have to take the ar'reie or get into i
rouble,” [throwing down aufrily the piece of |
lalico.] “ Give me something else. Ah ! gentle j
non, here is n fine diaper. What can I get for j
his! What do I hear? anythinr you please!”
”I’ll start it at live.” “Tin,” says another, j
‘Twelve andc half,” soys a third. •‘Thirteen!”
wies an old lady—“fourteen! fifteen !” several
roiees.
“Fifteen, I amoffered ! fifteen!—done at fifteen!
•an’t dwell—going !—g-o-i-n-g! gone ! Yours, sir.
Step up. whoever bid.”
No one rame up. All eyes itaring in various
parts of the room.
“Gone, then, at fourteen ! Y'istrs, sir, walk up.”
But the bidder could not be made to walk up. j
"Thirteen, then, madam, yjiu can have it at:
ronr own bid."
" I did’nt {fid; what do you think 1 want of that
irticle!” said the. old lady, indignantly.
“ Here. I’ll take it at thirteen," exclaimed a
roiee at the other end of the root:. All eyes were
.(trued in that direction, but noelaimant came for '
ward.
“ Who says they’ll take it nt thirteen
“ I do,” said an old lariner.
" Well, sir, walk up and take it.”
" I’m afraid it’s stolen goods!” said the bolder.
The auctioneer, now quite mad, sprang down,
ind was about collaring tbe old man, when a per
ion right behind him cried—

By the clear light of the moon we could dtstin

The Cotton Plant—tie* Island Cotton. {
There »re various rtatertenu in rega-d to the
nutrber of tptcin of the cotton plant. Some sa
il ors assert that there are not m *re than eight,
while others aiiinn that there are upwards of a
hundred; and indeed there * no end to them, it
is not at alt likely that anything certain is known
about the matter, beams’? never have taken the
trouble to cultivate a great variety of them in
order to ascertain '.be difference between the
several kinds. Wt believe, however, that at
tempts have been made to do this to tottm exp-*,
in Jamaica, Trinidad and St. V-.nren»'», where the
various plants of the numerous legions where the
cotton ahroi> is found, have been grown side by
side in private gardens, cm plantations, and in bo
t»nical collection*. Of these, the Trinidad alone
remain?, and we are not aware that any great a*l
vantage has been derived from that. Tms much
however; we know, that the several specie* differ
materially in appearance, varying ftoui four or five,
to fifteen to sixteen feet high.
There is no doubt that ibe plant was well known
in ancient limes; but at what period it was intro
duced into America, we are But precisely informed.
The *V-ti /<f-in./ Colton is the produce of a plant
that seems to have been first Carried to the B.iha
mns from the Inland of Ampulla twhnher it m k><
lowed to have been transported from Persia.) and
was sent to Georgia m I lad. Hut then- >* evi
dence of the existence of the cotton plant m Ameri
ca Ion? before there «» any direct'communica
tion between the civilised world, and the two
great portions of this continent; and it is a well
authontiouted fact that the i-p ityards found cotton
cloth, or calico, a common artn*!e of dress among
the inhabitants of Mexico, upon their first invasion
of that country. Colico ulitained its name from
Colicit—an insignificant town in India, where it
was probably first made. 'It was an article too ex
pensive to be purchased by the laboring classes,
on its first introduction into England; and it was
little imagined, in the early days of i s manufac
ture, how wuMerfutly il was destined to alter the
whole lace of commerce and society, and become
the great staple commodity of the wen tern hemis
phere.
In China, It does not appear to have been em
ployed to constitute articles of draw before the
thirteenth century. In .Spain, it is believed that
the Moors employed the filamens of cotton f.r
weaving cloth in the tenth century; but II e quar
rels between the Mohammedans ami the Chris
tians kept the rest of Europe in ignorance of its
manufacture for many ages. Italy was thd first to
adopt it, ami when the genius of Arkwright, Har
greaves and Cartwright had invented the proper
machinery, England turned her attention to it in
earnest, and gave an impetus to the growth and
manufacture of cotton, which has since been, con
stantly on the increase.
The cotton used for manufacturing purpose? is
distinguished by the length and shortness, the
suKinuxs aim coarseness, auu me strengtn ana
weakness of its several filaments. Some species
of the piaut thrive (test where they can have the
benefit of tho sea air, an<i the produce is fine in
. proportion to their nearness or distance from the
coast. Others, again, require the interior of coun
try. In dry climates, as on the mountain bound
shores of Brazil, the heat plants are met with on
tiie coast; while in damp climates, like that of
Pernambuco, the most valuable cotton is obtained
from the interior.
But whether seen bordering the lofty acclivities
of the Andes, with the wide Pacific heaving its
bun adless waves to a amities* horizon beneath a
sky of more than Italian azure, a field of cotton
in full bloom, with its dark green leaves and
snowy poes (with here and there n magnificent
Magnolia of a noble Pine, rearing its lofty head
into the air) is a beautiful sight, more especially
in the picking season, when the host of bitisy
bands are gathering the valuable produce, uml pre
P<tring it to enrich and comfort trie inhabitants of
our own and far distant lands.
The finest ami best kind, is grown on the low
sandy islands off the cost of Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina. It is sometimes called •*bUt<-k
seed cotton,” from the seed contained in the p.als
being black; while the seeds of the staple cotton,
is called the '• grtrn seed cotton/' for a similar
reason. The “staple,” or filament of Sea Island
Cotton is exceedingly long, silken and delicate:
and it commands a high price in market—more
than double that eT’ the short staple Great im
provements have been made in the latte's by assid
uous and careful cultivators, by the selection of
seed; and its culture on fair lands not exhausted
by a ruinous system of tillage, ia believed to be
far more profitable than the culture of Sea Island,
owing to its superior yield and the facility with
which it may be ginned and prepared for market.

Tin; PacscvT Cotton Caor.—All advice* from
tbe interior of this Ktnte tend to confirm us in the
opinion we have already expressed, viz.- that the
present growing cotton crop bids fa r to turn out
far beyond an ordinary yield, both in quantity and
quality. The picking, thus far, ha* I* en uni liter
ropted. In truth, there is every reason to beiie'e
—judging from present indications—that tics year's
picking season wtti be an tmeoramon propitious
one. Wr were shown this morning, in the'count
ing-room of Messrs. Doswetl, Hill A.Co., simples
of seven new bales which they havereeeived with
in the last few days, and we can. without hesita
tion, pronounce these samples as fully faireotton.
- That house has received, as yet, only eight bales
of the new crop, every bale of whie.n could, with
propriety, be classed as above. Nine bales are alt
that have Cf t been brought into this market, though
it is believed that in the course of the next thirty
days the receipts will have become quite libera!.—
