Brevet MaJ. (Jen. H. Smith.
in tlif I>aily Journal of ,Jun. loth, pui>*
li>lii'il ;it Little Rock, Ark., we find the
I'ol In wilier pleasant and unprejudiced notice
ol lien. Charles II. Smith, formerly of
Eastport in this State.
"We learn this morning that Gen. C.
II. Smith, who for the past three years
has been stationed among us, is ordered
to Xew Orleans, to assume command of
the Department of Louisiana, made va
cant by the decease of Gen. Mower.
I hough we feel gratified at the promotion
nl a worthy officer, it is with feelings of
sincere regret that we bid him adieu.
IV e congratulate the people of the Cres
cent City, on the accession to not only
their number, but their social circle, of so
competent an officer and affable a gentle
man. Long enough to respect him, we
ma\ say love him, have we known him.
Just in decisions, and courteous to all,
has he ever been, anil we still have the
consolation of knowing that while in per
son lit may claim a residence in another
.State, he still remains our military com
mander.
To the General and his accomplished
wire, we have hut to sat' that they bear
with them our heartiest well wishes, and
we bespeak for them a stay in the Crescent
City that in “other days” will be looked
on as one of the bright spots in life's
weary “desert.”
in the Daily Gazette of same date and
place, tlie following appears. Considering
the source from which it emanates, a rebel
organ of the most rabieal stripe, a higher
compliment, in the estimation of royal
people, could not he paid than is contained
in the following:
“General Smith has been in command
here tor nearly three years. As an officer
we regard him to be considerate, cool and
forbearing. We are constrained to qualify
the terms of this reference because we be
lieve that Gen. Smith, as the IT. S. com
manderof this depaatment, permitted his
partisan bias to influence him in lending
his aid to defeat the will of the people of
this State in their vote upon the ratification
of the present constitution of Arkansas.
Otherwise we believe Gen. Smith has con
ducted himself in the position he occupied
as military commander here with much
fairness and unusual consideration for the
rights and feelings of a community in
which he commanded as a representative
of theirflushed ami giddy conquerors."
PEARLS.
Pearls are the third product of the ocean
for which regular fisheries have been es
tablished the most important being those
in the bay of Bengal, C’eylon, and other
parts of the Indian Ocean. There the
pearl oyster is procured by divers, who
sink to the bottom, with the aid of large
stones, and remain there about thirty
seconds gathering all the shells within
reach. The work is exceedingly severe, and
the men are frequently devoured bv
sharks. The search for pearls always encfs
at noon, when the gun is fired, and all the
boats return to the shore, in order that the
boat may be examined and cared for by
daylight. The shell fish are piled together,
and the heap is left for about ten days, by
which time the remains becomes entirely
decomposed. The shells are then easily
opened, the round pearls, which are found
in the body of the oyster, which furnish
nacre, or mother-of-peal, are cleansed and
sold by the cake.
The pearls are sifted to separate the dif
ferent sizes; the smaller ones are sold bv
the weight and the others singly, accortf
ing to their value. The nacre and
the pearl are formed of essentially
the same material, but nacre is deposited
over tlie whole shell in layers, while the
pearl is the result of an efi'ort on the part
of tiie oyster to free itself from the irrita
tion of some foreign substance which has
penetrated within its valves. As the ani
mal is ineable of ejecting any intruder,
such as an unwelcome grain of sand, it
renders it less obnoxious by depositing
around it thesmooth and lustrous substance
which is so eagerly sought by man. The
Chinese are so well acquainted with the
fact, that they force the oyster to form
pearls, by thrusting small figures of tin be
tween the valves, and then returning the
ereature to the water, whence it is fished
up in the course of a few years, and the
pearl is extracted retaining the shape of
the tin. There is but one kind of oyster
which produces pearls to any considerable
extent, although they can occasionally be
found in other species of oysters, and even
in muscles.
