ure decidedly the best books that agents can possibly em
ploy their time In supplying to the people of^0?e United

possessed by every family in this great republic. There Is,
not a city or town in these United States, not even t{jO??
of small importance, but contains many oltlnms to whom
these works are indispensable. They are adapted to the
literary wants of the Christian, the patriot, the statesman,
nud the domestic circle, got up in a superior style of art
.nd workmanship; and aro not only such books ^ *11

free to recommend, and willing to see the purchaser again
after they have been bought.
Our Plan.?The plan tne publisher hw so- successfully
carried out for several years, is the obtaining responsible
men as agents, who are well known In their own counties, |
towns, and villages, and have time and deposition to^dr
culate good and instructive books among their neightors
and friends. Aiiy person wishing to embark In the euter
prise will risk little in sending $26 or $50, tor^hichhc
will receive an assortment as he may direct, at the whole
Knterprising and active men of respectability and good
address, would do well to engage in the sale of the above
volumes; and all postmasters, clergymen, book pedlars,

TN consequence of the great number of complaints which
X have for a long time Deon mode by Emigrants, of frauds
committed upon them in the sending of money to their
friends in Ireland, aud to aid and protect the Emigrant,
the IrMh Emigrant Sooiety established a fund, deposited

Persons residing out of the city, by enclosing in a letter
the sum they wish forwarded, with the plainly written
direction to whom and where it Is to be paid, will have the
same remitted.
There is a great advantage In purchasing the Society's
drafts?that the Bank has a branch in each of the princi
pal towns in Ireland, and thus the losses by discount, and
otherwise, are avoided.
The Society keeps an office at No. 22 Spruce street, to
which ('migrants can apply to obtain situations for which
they are fitted.
Ciders flrom.employers in the country, stating the ser
vices required, the wages, and the cheapest modes of con

EVES RIGHT!
In a recent exposure of the violation of the
common law, as connected with the rights of
owners on the line of u street running down to
the water, the friends of a late surveyor insist,
find not withoiit reason, that he is not to be
held responsible as it were particeps criminu for
any alterations of the line of a canal, us appro
priated for by Congress and the corporation for
deepening and cleansing, while he is to suffer
us a victim for not doing all that might have
been expected. Let the first proper step as to
" nuisance" be taken, and the public attention
kept fixed, there is not a shadow of doubt as to
sundry violations of common law where free
holders are debarred the free use of a street
and stream. But what greater nuisance in
municipal affairs can be inflicted than that laws
for general government are to be treated as a
dead letter, whether in a spirit of negligence or
in one of mistaken favor? Upon no point are
the people becoming more alive than upon this:
that by no one of their servants, from the highest
to the lowest, either openly by truckling, or
covertly by management, through third persons,
will the march of public improvement be per
mitted longer to be arrested with impunity. At
the proper time, if such practices obtain to the
detriment of citizens' rights, two tolerably well
informed freeholders will present a list of cases
of infraction, which may remain or be suffered
to spring up for animadversion. The ago and
experience of one will not fail to cause a pause
and reflection, while the course of the other
will demonstrate his responsibility in every
point to any artful dodger, who may be made
to feel that others arc really not as blind as he
may have imagined.
Leaving tiie low point of one street, which
seems to be a case settled by public opinion,
the writer deems it a duty to draw public at
tention to the extended improvements in the
neighborhood of L and M streets, and to ask
that public to pass down the west side of
Twelfth street, and wonder how it is that,
while a portion of pavement and flagging is on
the east side of the street, towards those streets,
where there are comparatively few houses built,
on the tcett side the pavement stops at the noto
rious K street. It is certain that those who
took in their fences had signed for the same,
and several near K street, north, have been
incommoded for years. And now, the reason:
Seven feet of the pavement line on Twelfth
street, at the east end of Franklin Row, is en
closed without " property authority," as dis
closed by the United States engineer; and the
sort Of authority claimed to enclose and retain
has never been exhibited, for the simple reason
that it is known that the then surveyor who
indicated certain slopes, as per order, did so
under protest, as his deputy in the Treasury
building and one of the building contractors
would be qualified in open court!
But again?as the original plat-books in the
city surveyor's office show that but five feet
open areas were allowed to the front* of houses,
and that, subsequently to the erection of Frank
lin Row, in 1832, the width was extended but
one foot, how is it that seven feet above ground
nrc yet retained, while a ragged pavement is
kept for the adornment of that elevated and
gaseous region ? It is the duty of the Mayor
to order in the line of the board fence, at all
event*, when he knows that the people of the
coterminous portions of the square demand it. j
If the owners cannot afford to put up a wall on
Twelfth street, let them board in and prop up.
to their hearts' content?only let them not con
tinue to invade the line of sight and of passage.
It is neither asked nor expected of the Mayor
to interpose where many and vigorous efforts
have been and will coutinue to be exerted to
sustain the right of all against privilege as
sumed, and upon an arbitrary assumption of
trickery and invasion bf the rights of property
belonging to others. Injunctions and powder
were " many a time and oft'' spoken of, and
some of tlie'heroes sold out and abandoned the
enterprise as one that would not pay, and one
of the councilmen was turned out for his ma
noeuvres?and others may profit by his experi
ence! Let all threats be met by resolution.
The people expect it. One ex-Mayor was once
truly roused, but he went to Bleep. There will
be no rest for any who fail in their whole duty to
Twelfth Street.
The Homestead.?The homestead of every
man is a holy thing which no law or monopoly
should be able to wrest from the family. Give
the father his home, in fact, and secure, and
he has position, station, character, and rights
worthy to defend. Ho is a permanent inhabit
ant of the State, and he is heart and soul de- i
voted to the interests of the State, for her in- i
terests arc his interests. But let the wealthy
capitalists be able to monopolize the sod, and
seize, almost at will, upon the poor man s
homestead, and we shall nave a moneyed ans
tocrncy to lord it over the people as cruelly us
over the English aristocracy made laborers styl
dependents by the law of entail. The only
ultimate reaonreo the masses possess against
the sure encroachments of capital upon labor is
to be found in the exemption of the homestead,
and the guarantee of the right to labor by laws
founded on the natural right of man to live.

ROTATION OF THE EARTH.
To the Editors of the American Telegraph.
Guntlkmkn : The late interesting experi
ments with the pendulum, by which it is sup
posed the diurnal revolution of the earth has
been demonstrated and rendered visible, seem
to have attracted very general attention; and
if it would not be thought top presumptuous in
"A Mechanic" to meddle with matters ol
science, tbe writer would venture with becom
ing diffidence to suggest a possible difficulty in
the demonstrations alluded to.
So far as the public hnve been made ac
quainted with the experiments, both at home
and abroad, they seem to have been greatly
wanting in some of the characteristics necessary
to force conviction on the cautious mind of a
true philosopher. In the first place, they seem
not to have been sufficiently numerous, not
sufficiently extended, to entitle them to the np
puliation of demonstrations; and, in the second
place, the public have not been informed
whether, in any of the experiment# which have
been made, the variation of the pendulum has
been observed to traverse the magnetic meri
dian. It is but reasonable to suppose, that like
the magnetic needle, the pendulum, in its oscil
lations, would be in Bome degree influenced to
wards the magnetio meridian; and if its first
movements be not precisely in that meridian,
it must necessarily vary until it arrive there ;
and at that point, the writer supposes, its
variation will cease. The writer has had no
opportunity to test this iuiiuenoe by experi
ment, and as the public has not been informed
whether any experiments have been made by
others with this view, he would with great dif
fidence submit the inquiry, whether the hori
zontal variations of the pendulum heretofore
witnessed may not possibly be due to the earth's
magnetic attraction, rather than to its diurnal
revolution ? The free pendulum, in its hori
zontal movement, is an instrument strikingly
similar to the magnetic needle; and if, instead
of its being allowed to oscillate in a vertical
plane, the weight be elevated to the level of the
point of suspension, and maintained in that
position by any contrivance which will not af
fect its free horizontal motion?as, for instance,
by a similar weight in the opposite direction,
the two being united by an inflexible bar, in
stead of the wire?it will be at once perceived
that, after all, it is but a modification of the
needle, and governed in its horizontal move
ments by the same laws. Even in the Bimple
pendulum used in these experiments, there is
a very manifest resemblance to (he needle ; the
weight in the opposite point of its oscillations
alternately representing the two poles, and the
whole freely turning on its central pivot. In
view of this strong resemblance between the
magnetic needle and the free pendulum, it seems
difficult to imagine why the former should be
subjeot to the earth's magnetic attraction alone,
and the latter not at all.
If any of your scientific readers should think
it very silly in the writer thus to doubt, after
great philosophers have uttered their convic
tions, he trusts that they will pardon this as the
first offence of A Mechanic.
Productions ok Sevsn-eiohths of an Ache
of Land.?1 have just eeven-eightlis of an acre
of land where I re*ido. Upon it there is a
small but comfortable dwelling-house, wood
house, enrringe-house, smoke-house, and barn;
a wood-yard, harn-yard, and a lane five rods
long from thence to the road ; also a front yard,
four by six rods. By this time, perhaps, the
reader is about ready to say, well, this about
occupies your seven-eighths of an acre. But I
also have a garden upon this same seven-eighths
of an acre, from which I raised, the summer
past, all the onions, squashes, cucumbers, to
matoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet corn,
asparagus, pie plants, beets, muskmelons, peas,
beans, and cabbages, that were wanted for my
family use (a family of six persons, besides
workmen,) during the time of using garden
sauce. And after the maturity of the crop,
gathered for fall and winter use, half a bushel
of onions, seven bushels of potatoes, three
bushels of sweet potatoes, quarter of a bushel
of sweet corn, and fifty fine cabbage heads.
1 have also a small nursery upon this seven
eights of an acre, consisting of over 2,000 trees
mostly of fine site for transplanting?apple,
peach, pear, plum, cherry, quince, and grape
trees. During the time of fruiting we hud
raspberries, gooseberries, and currants, almost
without measure?bushels of each. Cherries,
peaches, plums, pears, grapes, and apples have
been used as free as water, how many I cannot
tell. I have sold from the same seven-eighths
of an acre, trees to the amount of $74.08. Fruit j
for cash : Cherries $<i.36, peaches $18.04, pears
$0.60, plums $7.60, quinces $2, and grapes i
$5.76. Making in the aggregate $115.12. i
have put 30 bushels of fine winter apples in my
cellar; and to finish the list, have cut from 4u0
to 600 lbs. good hay.
This is a correct statement of seven-eighths of
an acre of land in Richfield, Summit county,

The. System wonics well. ? By the new
constitution of Kentucky, the Judges of the
several courts were made elective by the peo- ]
pie. Many fears were expressed that tbe sys
tem would work badly?that the people would ,
not be likely to select properly qualified candi
dates. The first election has just taken place,
and the Louisville Courier speaks of the result
in the following terms:
" The election on Monday last has satisfied
the most skeptical that the people are not so
incompetent in deciding upon the merits of
candidates as some have heretofore so strenu
ously contended for. Our best men have gen
erally been elected, and a Judiciary of which
Kentucky may well feel proud. We know of
but few in this city or county who are chosen
that wo would alter if we could, ami even those
few we doubt not will make good officers."
Ai.abama.?Col. James Abercrombie has been
nominated as the " Union" candidate for Con
gress in the 2d (Ililliard's) District, and will be
opposed by N. l. Yancey, the celebrated Secos
sionist. who, at last accounts, was in quite n j
(|uardary as to whether he would aocept the j
"Southern Rights" nomination for Congress, or
for Governor, both of which have been tondered
to him by Democratic friends. Judge Collier,
the present Democratic Governor. is a candidate
for re-election, but takes so crooked a position
on the slavery question, that he is discarded by
all parties.
Hieroglyphics.?a fatal mistake was made
by a druggist of New York on Tuesday. The
prescription of the physician in attendance on

three doses of the six grains. About six hours
after the medicine was administered the ohild

Explosion?From Mexico.?New 0ileum,
May 23.?The steamer Echo blew up at Bayou
Hara day before yesterday, killing several of
those on board.
Ailvices received from Mexico to the 3d, state
that the finances were in a most deplorable con
dition. (Jrout excitement existed relative to
the landing of the Americans at Tebuantepec
without permission of the Government. The
American schooner Lear left here a month'ago
with provisions for the expedition at Tebuan
tepec, but the Mexican authorities refused the
captain permissiou to land his cargo, and
threatened to seize the vessel. A revenue cut
ter has been despatched to the relief of the
schooner, and complaints have been forwarded
I to Washington of the conduct of the Mexicans.
i Damage from IIiuh Water.?Lnffatupori,
I Indiana, May 23.?Great damage has been done
I on the canal. A viaduct has been Carried away
! fifteen miles east of Huntingdon, and another
j has suffered the same fate six miles east of the
; same place. The aqueduct between Peru and
Huntingdon is injured, and a leak has occurred
between Toledo and Logansport. The Wabash
river is very high, and threatens destruction to
the aqueduct and bridge at this place. Tt will
take four weeks to repair the damage already
done.
A Sad Spectacle.?The Cumberland Civilian
of yesterday says: "Along with the prisoners
who left here yesterday was the Rev. Dr. C.
II. Weber, ou his way to the lunatic asylum.
He is a German by birth, a Lutheran clergy
man, and a scholar of very high attainments,
cspeciully in the languages, of which he speaks
most of the living ones. He came to this place
some months ago, and engaged in giving in
struction in the languages. Among his pupils
were a number of our first citizens. In March
Inst he unfortunately tasted that fatal drug,
alcohol. ' Farilin discmnug,' &c., wns as true of
him us of many others. His case has been sub
mitted to two juries of this court. The second
one very properly pronounced him a lunatic,
and he has accordingly been sent to the asy
lum."

The St. Charles Hotel, at New Orleans, is
getting rapidly towards completion. The foun
dations are finished, and the coutracts for fin
ishing the brick and granite have been made.
When finished it will be, it is said, the most
superb building of the kind in the world, both
in dimensions and architectural qualities. It is
to have at least one hundred rooms more than
the old hotel, and will excel it in the style of
its finish and interior arrangements.

culture was 148,800, and the product was
119,047 hogsheads of 1,000 pounds each, and
000,000 gallons of molasses. In 1860 aud '61,
the crop will exceed 200,000 hogsheads, worth
