This ia well understood by the fast men of
iverpool themselves where even an addition of 24
hours to the time of the nsnil process oauses them
to plsee a higher value upon their salt. Between
Saturday and Monday the charge in the pana ia al-
lowed 48 houta to crystalixe and be. drawn. The
salt made thua is called '-Sunday aalt," and ia oon-
aidered rather better than that whioh ia made in 84
hours.
Dr. Brownrigg, in his "Art Qf making Common
Salt," proceeds on the principle:
1st. " That in the common prooess for making
white aalt the salt is deprived of a considerable
lart of its aoid spirit, by the violent boiling used
n its preparation, whence it is rendered less fit for
preserving flesh, fish, and other provisions than it
would be if prepared with a more gentle heat."
8d. " That moat kinds of white salt are rendered
impnre by the mixture of various heterogeneous
substances, whioh render it less proper for preserv-
ing provisions than it would be if separated Irom
them."
This can only be done by time and oareful man-
agement. Mr. Dennis cites the fact that in Holland
not even the best bsy salt is considered flt for curing
provisions until it is rsorystalixed by a oareful pro
oass, whioh separatea all foreign sntatancea from it.
Ha asoribee the superiority of Dutch herring to the
sslt in whioh they are enrad, and it may be that
the foreign artiole of pickled cabbage owea its rep-
utation to the same cause. It is ssserted that no
oountry in Enrope use boiled salt for curing provi-
aiona ; and even Poland, which has the most ex
tensive and purest salt minea in the world, in former
timea imported French salt to cure provisions
We have not time or room to describe the defects
of boiled or blown salt. We only desired to give
some idea of the French mode, which is certainly
aa expensive and pains-taking as one could desire.
In the fint instance the sea-water is introduced into
a large reservoir, from whioh it is caused to flow
slowly through a series of smsller ones and long
winding passsges, calculated both to promote
evaporation, and the depositing of foreign snbstsn-
ces out of the water, until it comea to the orystal-
ising pana. The distance ¿hat the piokle tows
from the main reservoir to the last pan, is fre-
quently more than ten miles in the largest works,
and seldom less thsn three miles in the smalleat
This plan not only purifies the pickle, snd produces
a salt free from the defecta of other kinds of solar
aalt; but it haatens the process of msking to such
an extent, aa to render it of the first importance in
the protection of the pans from raina. It aervee to
concentrate the evaporation of the whole works on
the laat or loweet pana In the series, so that, at lssst
a cart of a crop may be made, even in the worst
sessons.
In France, this method ^produces a orop of salt in
about three weeka, while in Spain, Portugal, the
Bahama Islsnds, <fco., where, the whole prooess of
evaporation is carried .on in single pans it requires
as many months, in the best seasons, and the pro-
oess. may be postponed indefinitely by rains.
Mr. Dennis thinks, the Gulf coast well adapted
to the business of mating salt by solar evaporation,
There is an average of per cent, of salt in the
waters of: the Golf stream, fully equal to the Waters
of the Mediterranean. He says that at Turk's
Island and others'of the Bahamas there is some ex
oellent salt made at works where the French plan
is carried out in part or the whole, but at many,
(probably a majority,) of the works on these islands
the ssme careless slovenliness prevail as among the
Spanish and Portuguese. At Key-West the an
nual produot, we believe, is at least forty thousand
bushels, and Mr. Dennis pays that in the vioinity
of Tallahassee and Tampa Bay, the people have
been in a habit, for a number of years, of using
solar salt, (made in Key West,) apd now they will
use no other, if they can get it, without reference to
any difference-in jirice.that there may happen to be
between that and Liverpool salt for the time being.
He says that among the Florida Keys, and on the
coast of Texas, from Galveston to the Bio Grande,
enough of the very oeat solar sslt oan be made,
oheaply, under all probable oircumstances, to sup-
ply the whole United States esst of the mountains;
and anywhere on the coast of California it oan be
made' to supply the sountry to the wost of them.

ing them, vowed he wonld
that self-same day telegraph to those of the
tribe sojourning in the laud of Washington, warn-
ing them of these idolatrous movements and be-
seeobing them to cast lots and select him tobe a
Judge smong the tribes, and surely he would
chastise the blaeksliders acd maintain the true
faith. And the tribe of Washington hearkened
unto the voice of Thomaa, and straight way cast
lots and signified that he should be their Judge. To
other tribes Thos. also spake, but with what effect
ia not known unto this the fourteenth day of the
eighth month. If s¡o be, the other tribes hearkened
unto the voice of Thomas, there is yet hope that
the Waooa may be reclaimed to the true worship,
through bis ministration^ and if not, there is still
hope that the more diatant branohes of the great
tribe of Waooa, oovering much space in the regions
round about—even all the land from Bed Biver to
the Del Norte—will select Biohard, the Firm, to
rule over tbem; and that he will reason with the
backallders in and around the old Waco Village to

Thi Practical Test.—Abstractions are the pe-
culiar food of fanaticism. Where men have before
them palpable and patent facts, npon which to
base conclusions, they seldom differ very material-
ly, or quarrel abont the interpretation of these
facts. Many things look best, and therefore peo-
ple think they can see tbem best, at a distance.
Philosophers of the Greely school are positive that
SamfSo is in all respects like his white brothei
and should be free and equal with the mo9t exalted
of the white race. Practically this sssumption of
equal'ty has never been established in the history
of the world, as those who have had the best op-
portunities ot knowing know best. The New York
Daily News, arguing against the introduction of
free negro suffrage, the significant fact, that the
vote in its favor was immensely larger in that State,
in the counties which had few or no negroes, than
in those which had a great many. The same cir
cumstance baa been noted elsewhere. The Cin-
cinnatiEnquirer states its observations upon the
subject thus: -
"There is a remarkable and very suggestive fact
in regard to the negro emigration into this State.
It is (his: Of the 25 thousand free negroes iu the
State, the vast majority reside in counties where
there >y few abolitionists, and which have
been chiefly settled by emigrants from the South
em States. These negroes appear to have a great
dread of the abolition counties—they give them a
wide birth. Thus, for example, Ashtabula has a
negro population of 48, Geauga of seven, Trumbull
65. The other counties on the lake have a propor-
tionate number of negroes. These counties are
settled almost exclusively by New England emi
grants. On the other hand, Boss county, a Vir-
ginia settlement, has one thousand nine hundred
and six negroes; Gallia has one thousand one
hundred and ninety-eight, and Hamilton county has
over four thousand.
"In these counties the negro is regarded as an
inferior, socially and politically, and the abolition-
ist has but a Blight bold. What is the cause of
this striking discrepancy ? Is it that the negro feels
and knows his inferiority, and naturally attaches
himself to the population which is disposed to
regard him as an inferiorf oris it that the whites
in the lake shore counties are abolitionists from an
ignorance of the real character of the negro ? Cer-
tainly there is no better mode of curing a neighbor-
hood ol abolitionism than by inflicting on them a
colony of free negroes. The only way in which
Giddings can ever be defeated will be by a few
more such philanthropic efforts of those of Colonel
Mendenhall, in settling a few hundred North Caro-
lina or Kentucky negroes in Ashtabula. If our
Southern friends will send as their surplus negro
population, let them provide that they may be lo
cated among their kind and generous friends iii
the Western Reserve. Such earnest philanthropy
as they profess ought not to be 'wasted on the de
rfppi.
i is a vaat deal ot a ecitaiu kind original-
ity about negro composition. Take thia example
of an illustration, lately used by a colored exhorter
at an evening conference meeting in the lower part
ofPhiladelbhia:—"My bredren, God bless your
aoule,' ligion is like the Schuylkill riber. In the
spring come tbe fresh, and he bring in all the old
logs, slabs, and stick hab peen Ijin' on de bank and
carrying dem down in the current. Bimeby de
water go down; den a log cotch here on dis island,
den a slab get cotched on de shore, and de sticks
on de bushes; and dere dey lie, wid'rin' and dryin*
till eomesnodder fresh. J ¡at so dere oomea vival
'ligion; dis old sinner brought in, dat old backslid
Ler brought back; an' all the folka seem comin'—
1 mighty good times. Bus bredren, God bless
jr souls 1 bimeby' vival'a gone; den bis ole siu-
' is stuck on his ole Bin; den dat backslider is
1 where he was afore, on jus'such a rock ;
artar anoder got 'ligion lies 'long de shore

I send you an aocount of a rich prize, captured off
Lagos, on the 16th of April, with upwardaof £6000
in gold on board lor the purohase of a cargo of sla ves
Which was made prize of and sent on board
Her Majeaty'a steam sloop Prometheus, 6 guns,
Commander, Charlea W. Hope. On the 16th of
April, while tbe Prometheus was making a passage
from Lagos to the Island of St. Thomas, she ob
served a sail in the offing, and, as she appeared to
be beating to windward, the Prometheus altered
course aDd chased her, and npon nearing her, she
was observed to tack and keep away, and, thinking
she was not observed, made all possible sail, setting
studding sails, with tbe hope of getting away, at
o same time throwing overboard a quantity of
ir cargo, also her anchors and cables, and sawing
ir beams through to allow the vessel to work.
.Upon the Prometheus coming np with her abont
6 r. M., and firing a gun, she hoisted Spanish colors,
upon Mr Jameson, master of the Prome-
theus, was sent on board of her, and from tbe va-
gueness of the answers to the questions put by him,
that officer proceeded to search tbe vessel, and
" und, under a cargo of bread, flour, rice, bales of
Kacco, acd oases of goods, (the leagers were fnll
Of w^er,) plank for slave deek, and all other gear

were removed to^be Prometheus, and ob the 18th,

Editobs Civilian I observe that one of yonr
correspondents is bragging of making oorn stalks
11 feet high, with the assistance of guano and other
manures generally, Now our lands which know
no manure,* but that impregnated into every par-
ticle of tbem by nature herself, will do mnob better
tban that. I have seen co1 n fields tbis season in
which there are very few stalks less tban twelve
feet in height, and many will reach to fifteen feet
Our bottom landa will make from fifty to seventy
five bnshels per aore. Cotton will vary from to
1 bale per aore. We have also made fine wheat
crops. One farmer says that he made 80 bnshels

Tbe large city hospital of Chioago has been placed,
by the Board of Health, under the charge of two
medioal boards,one of the allopathic sobooi of med-
icine, and the other of tbe homeopathic. To the
latter only about one fourth of the building bas
been allotted, but more room will be given if need-
ed. Each patient, on entering, is to ohoose which
sobooi of physicians shall take him in oharge. If
he is indifferent, or nnable to choose, be will be as-
signed to one or the other schools, according as the
week in which he enters may be odd or even, as
numbered in the year. Thus the two systems are
fairly matched against each other, and a sharp and
oareful rivalry will be inaugurated in the good
work of aaving life. The respective boards are to
keep reoords of tbe symptoms, treatment and result
of their oases, a published comparison of whioh, at
tbe end of the year, would no doubt form an ex-
ceedingly interesting study for the profession gen-
erally.
Band Box Story.—Lord Ellenborough was once
about to go on a circuit, when lady Ellenborough
said she would like to accompany bim. He repli-
ed that be had no objection, provided she did not
enoumber tbe carriage with bandboxes, which
were bis utter abborence. During tie first day's
journey Lord Ellenborough, happening to stretch
bis legs, struck bis foot against something below
the seat. He discovered that it was a bandbox.
Up went the window and out ent the bandbox.
Tbe coachman stopped, aud the footmen thinking
that the bandbox had tumbled out of the window

J| Walker reached the Terri-
pro-slavery party had with great unani-
to the conclusion that it was useless to
the struggle to make Kansas a slavehold-
State; it being apparent, past peradventure,
" a very large majority of tbose whose wright
to a vote on the subject no one disputed, were op
posed to tbe establishment of slavery as a perma
nent institution of the new State. On consulta-
tion, upon coming to this opinion, they very prop-
erly concluded that their biest policy would be to
secure Democratic ascendancy in the organisation
of the new State, under the auspices, of the old
law and order party, and with such provisions as
would secure to tbe present holders of slaves there
and to the slaveholding Missourians on the borden
of Kansas, all theirrights. Or, in other words, to
place it, though a non-slavebolding State, in the
strictest and closest sympathy with all the positions
of tbe national Democratic party upon all slavery
questions. 1
To tbis end it was determined long before the
late Democratic Territorial Convention met, that
its nominee should be from a non-slavebolding
Statoi and some one who had been conspicuous as
an active sympathizer wiib the law,and order party
throughout all their troubles, through not a pro>
slavery man. Tbis was to obtain for the new
constitution, and, indeed for all points of their po-
licy of making the State as thoroughly Democratic
as possible from the start, the votes ot as many
free State settlers as possible. This is the secret
of the nomination of ex-Gov. Ransom. This policy,
so far, bas succeeded even better than its most
sanguine advocate anticipated, it beiDg already
evidenr that it will triumph in the end by a large
majority ■ _
In pursuance of' the understanding to abandon
further serious efforts to make the new State slave
holding, it was, that Free State men were permit-
ted to become heavy owners in the 4 towns known
as the pro-slavery cities; Leavenworth, Doniphan,
Atchison, and Kickapoo. And also on account of
it alone did Gen, Stringteilow sell out i>is Squatter
Sovereign (newspaper,) to become an advocate ol
a non-siaveholdiug but ultra Democratic State.
On reaching the Territory, Gov. Walker became
aware that it would be utterly useless for him to
endeavor tos'ruggle against the prevailing senti-
ment on the slavery question, and entered heartily
into tbe plans to secure the ascendancy of the
Democratic party in the affairs of the new State,
which had been previously initiated, as we describe
above. He found, too, that the proportion in favor
of submitting the constitution to the popular vote,
was—as represented in tbe late Democratic Con
vention—as forty to one; or, in other words, that
all were in tavor of it, than which nothing could
be more natural. He, therefore, to streugchen
himself and the Democratic party, took vehement
ground in favor of what all desi: ed.
Our informant, in explaining the meaning of Gov,
Walker's protest that unless the constitution be
submitted to th>- popular vote, he would join the
opposition to it, remarked that it amounted pre-
cisely to a declaration on his (our inlormani's) part,
that if Pi esident Buchanan shall make a Bepub!
can party administration, be would join the opposi-
tion to it; or, in other words, that he would sustain
the Democratic party—a truism, in which all coin
sided, concerning a contingency that could not
possibly occur.
He informs us, further, that there is a question
among Democrats there as to whom the new con-
stitution shall be submitted—as to what classes of
settlers; and that bis belief is, that the convention
will limit the right to vote Upon it to such as are
bona fide settlers when the convention shall termi-
nate its labors and adjourn.

managing milk, whether intended for the chnrn or
otherwise, is to scald it immediately, as it is strain-
ed from tbe oow. After tbis operatiod, it does not
sour so soon, even in summer; and if it is intended
for butter making, you have sweet milk for family
use, after tbe dream is taken off. In winter the
cream thatia taken from scalded milk will not re-
