ft 1 mr -si m'-i DAILY APPEAL. MEMPHIS SUNDAY MORNING APRIL 26, 1857. THE "WAR OF THE EOSES." The of the Roses" which plunged our fatherland In sanguinary conflict, on account of the feuds of the houses of York and Lancaster, promises to be nothing to the war which is bow on the tapit between the nomisaf and anti-nominatien sections of the "btoad and comprehensive platform" party in our city. A very interesting little skirmish has already come off, which will serve to give both combatants and spectators a keen relish for the future progress of the conflict. It appears that Sir.

Home F. Hill, the present Recorder of the city, at the American and Whig mass meeting on Thursday evening, was put in nomination, among other gentlemen, for the office which he now holds. On the succeeding day Mr. Hill published a card in the Evening Vitilor, announcing that he "does not agree to the plan proposed be pursued by a portion of the American party, in making their nominations," and as the office for which he is a candidate is not a political one, he does not think "it should be madeaiarty test" Mr. Hill is so clearly in.

the right in this matter, that we cannot refrain from expressing our hearty concurrence la his conclusion and course, even at the risk of incurring the censure of interfering in a matter in which we have bo immediate interest. Mr. Hill has tried both plans, and has found, as be inti mates, from experience, that the nominating plan does not always work as smoothly as could be desired by those who are determined to make a political engine out of our City Gov-erametst. Is 1855, he was the nominee of the then KsftW-Nothing order for City Recorder, and was badly defeated by the defection of some of the followers of "Sam," notwithstanding the ticket of bis order was elected by an overwhelming majority. Last year Mr.

Hill again declared himself a candidate, without reference to parties, cliques or orders, throwing himself and his claims upon the people of all parties, and taking a bold, independent stand upon his fidelity as an officer, and he was triumphantly elected. Mr. Hill may therefore be said to have considerable experience in the workings of this machinery of nominations, and that experience convinces him that it is safer to rely upon the people for an election, when the office to which he aspires is as far removed from the operations of the Federal Government as that of City Recorder, who is a mere mmtcipal, judicial magistrate. But the Eagle and Enquirer, intent upon securing all the spoils of our next City Administration for the parties out of power, and stung to resentment by Mr. Hill's sober, cool and independent card, walks into the ring and takes ilr.

Hill "by the horns," saying, "we can get alosg without Mr. Hill," and hereby transfer him to the "Sag-Niehts," with all the "honors of war that is, with the drums beating the dead'martk" with our colors flying at bt "kalfasl." And lest there may be others who contemplate the same movement with the aferesaw Hill, it turns around to the "sea of upturned faces" who compete the par ty out of power, and at the same time, cracking its whip of de thus addresses the who are not willing to tude: "All abide ioa of the Americans (where Afemnrtln nf th tiallnt-Tinir v-. 8 rJ 9 ek, wl" piease consider inem-Mr. w. B.

Tsf the parly." The italics we UWM 1 .1 s. nut oar cotemporaiy usea The Eagle brandished the baton. tbB, and Hill and other gentle- er leave immediately, or deny the authority of the editor of the Enquirer to exercise the important prerogative of expelling whomsoever he pleases from the American party. We ow nothing of the rules and regulations of a camp which is foraging around generally and is out of power. We cannot say whether the editerof the Jnutrrr has everbeen Invested with the right to lead whomsoever be pleases out of the "communion of saints" without a trial or a rote, duly taken.

We know nothing of these things, for we nerer attended many Know-Nothing or American meetings, and can not glean from the practices the common law of tie order, any thing to satisfy our mind on this important point. But we do know that Mr. Hill has the political right guarantied by the Constitution of his country to continue a candidate.for.the Jlecordership or any other office, until the election shall have decided his issue with the editor of the nqirer. And we would strongly advise him to take the chances, throw hlmlf on his constitutional rights and the faror of the people, and defy the right of the s5tttrer or any other journal to cooly as-nign him a position different from the one he assumes to occupy. Thus far Mr.

Hill has given evidence of cool, sober judgment, which will carry him safely through he trying ordeal to which he is subjected. It seems to us, however, that there is a very Important principle brought Into practical issue by this controversy, aBd which we wish to see decided dispassionately by the cool, intelligent and reflecting portion of the citizens of Memphis, without respect to party. We have hitherto opposed any party organization, in the Democratic party, with the view of carrying our municipal elections. It has seemed to us that municipal offices are not the proper subject for an angry, heated and prejudiced contest by partisans, and that these officers ought to be selected with a single riew to their ability, experience, integrity and devotion to the true interests of the city. The object of making party nominations, for these offices, is simply and unquestionably to secure good berths for zealous partisans and to send out to the country, with the riew to influence the State elec tions, an impressiea of the great strength of the triumphant party in the city.

Is not this a perversion and gross abuse of the elective franchise, and is it not sacrificing the important interests of the city to mere factional pre iudice? We think so. And we believe that all good and intelligent citizens would be sub serving the best interests of the city by frown ing Indfgnantly upon every movement to chain our city and its interests to the car of party. The English. Xamaoih. Bteaaer.

The building of this enormous steamer by the English, has decidedly taken some wind out of American enterprise on a scale might talk about Still ere long we expect to see one from Jonathan that will out do the Great Eaitern, which is rtw being finished off in the Victoria Dock, near London. A correspondent of the Carolina Timet takes some interest in the Great Eaitern, narrates his 'interview' with her, and gives the follow ing facts and surmises "The Great Eastern is of two hundred and twenty-two thousand five hundred tons burden. When ypu remember that the Persia and Adriatic, the two largest steamers afloat, do not exceed four thousand tons, you have a small data upon which to base your ideas of this wonderful conception. Her length is more than the eighth of a mile being six hundred and eighty feet, her breadth eighty-three, and her depth of bold sixty feet As she stands on the stocks, so great is the elevation of her decks, that a fine view is afforded from them of the surrounding country and city. Her engines are of three thousand horse power.

One thousand horse power will be provided for the side paddle wheels and the remainder for the screws. The paddle wheels themselres make a respectable eized amphitheatre, being one hundred and twenty feet in circumference. One hundred furnaces are required to heat the ten boilers that will generate the steam necessary to drive her through the water. Besides her engines, she will have seven masts, several of them qture rigged. -I I I are th nUiMaU KliaMSHSSr cts-OTffTeTth shp in cairmlatedocarre ten thousand per sons, but the company hope to clear expenses if titr ran average four thousand.

She will carry ten life boats, but each of them are to be complete screw steamers. If she is safely launched it will be as great a wonder as her erection. Her entire weight Is to rest upon two immense cradles, upon which she is to be lowered to low water mark by hydraulic pres sure, and then, at high tide, sne is to noai away, the queen of the seas. Her speed is estimated at an average of fifteen miles an hour, which will take her to America In four days, and India, by the Cape, in thirty, or to Australia in thirty-five days. Her first trip is to be to America, where the directors expect to make a speculation by malting ner a spectacle.

But what does this conception necessitate on the seas. Already it is determined to issue a dally paper on board, and will there not be a necessity for a police, lawyers, doctors, and may be hangmen? Will It not necessitate a Mavor and Alderman to issue tavern licenses and'an armed force to put down rebellion? If she will not carry steam cars she will carry steamboats, and telegraphs are a necessity, for it is arranged that her officers will eommu-nicate by telegraph. Her launch is expected to take place in the coming fall. An old lady once, in taking passage across the ocean, was very careful to ascertain the thickness of the ship's planks, and this has been omitted above. The Great Eatlern has no planks about her, Is entirely of iron, the Bheets of which are all three quarters of an inch thick, and as she is double-cased, a ship within a ship, in case of accident to the outer shell, she is still safe with the inner."

A. REYNOLDS, Captain Nicaraguan Army. Iha Dred Eeou Cats Letter of Judge Btory. The Buffalo Ctmmercial jldcerttter relates that in the opinion delivered by Justice Nelson, of this Stale, he quoted a very remarkable letter written by Judge Stoey in 182S, relating to a case analagous to that of Dred Scott. It seems that Judge Story was accustomed to write at least once a year to Lord Stoweli, sending him a copy of bis judicial decisions, which the latter reciprocated.

At length a case arose in the English court (of which Lord Stowell was Chief Justice) where an Anti gua slave" was carried by bis master to Eng' land for temporary residence, and was subsequently taken back to Antigua. He brought suit for his freedom," and the Inferior Court decided against his right to "freedom." In the Appellate Court Lore Stowell, in behalf of a majority ot the Court, affirmed the judgment below. Lord Stowell sent his decision to Judge Stoky, who delayed replying so long that Lord S. again wrote to him, expressing regret at not receiving a reply, and a hope that their- pleasant correspondence, of so many years standing, would not cease. To these letters, Judge Stokst replied as follows: Salem, near Boston, Sept 22, 1E28.

To Rt. Hon. Wm. Lord Stowell Jlfy Lord: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letters of January and May last, the former of which reached me in the latter part of spring, and the latter quite recently. I have read with great attention, your judgment In the slave case from the vice Admiralty Court in Antigua.

Upon the fullest considerations which I have been able to give the subject, 1 entirely concur in your views. If I had been called upon to pronounce a judgment in a like case, I should certainly have arrived at the same result, though I might not have been able to present tne reasons wnicn lea to it in ouik.ug and convincing manner. It appears to me that the decision is Impregnable. In my native State (Mass.) the state of slavery is not reconiz ed as gal and yet, if a slave should come hither and afterward re turn to his own home, we should certainly think that the local law would re-attach upon him, and that his servile character wou'd be re-Integrated. I have had occasion to know tnat your judgment uas neen extensively reau in America, (where questions of this nature are not of uufrequent discussion,) and I never have beard any other opinion but that of approbation of it expressed among the profession of the law.

I cannot but think that, upon questions of this sort, as well as general maritime law, it were well if the common lawyers had studied a little more extensively the principles of public and civil law, and had looked beyond their own municipal jurisprudence. I remain with the highest respect, Your most ob't serv't, JOSEPH STORY. A Model Wife. A pleasant little story reached me the other day. One of our famous Amerl can sculptors, residing in that delightful city whither all the genius of England and America seems to tend, was one day seated in bis studio at work on an Apollo for which, by the way, he might stand as model himself when his attention was attracted by a tremendous tramnling of horses in his court-yard.

He looked out the window, and beheld a magnifi cent carriage with out-rlders drawn up before his door. Presently a gentleman claimed admission to his studio, and announced himself as the Prince di He came to give the sculptor a large commission. His daughter, who bad been struck by some statues of American that she had seen, wisbei to sit to him for her bust She was then below in the carriage. Was the sculptor at leisure? Price was no object all that was necessary was to n-atifv his daughter, who waB an invalid. The sculptor expressed bis willingness to begin the work instantly, and the Prince making a sign to ms lackeys irom me winaow, mey proceeded to lift a lovely girl, who seemed about eighteen, out of the carriage, and bore ber in their arms carefully up the stairs to the artist's studio.

The sculptor could not repress a look of surprise at this curious mode of lo comotion, particularly as the lady did not bear the slightest trace or niness in ner counte nance, lne rinee mierrupiea ms giance, ana renlied to it. My daughter has been paralyzed in all her limbs." he said, "for the laBt two months. It is a sad thing. She has had all the medical aid in Florence, but without avail." The sculptor looked again at the invalid. Nothing more beautiful in face or form could have been dreamed by Phidias.

A face like Cenci's before it was clouded with the memory of crime, masses of rich, lustrous auburn hair, framing a clear, pale face, with deep blue eyes swimming beneath a fringe of the silkiest black lashes. Through ber delicate muslin robe the contour of a divinely moulded form were indicated, and when the young Signorina cast upon the sculptor a rapid glance, soft as starlight, piercing as electric fire, he felt his heart leap with a mysterious presage of some Indefinable catastrophe. She sat The sculptor worked at his model like one inspired, and a pang struck his heart as the hour for her retiring came. The Prince and bis lackeys bore her again down stairs in their arms. The carriage door closed on her, the horses swept-throuch the gate.

The sculptor did no more work that day. To-morrow she was to come again. He lay awake all night dreamii of ber. Then he would shudder, and say to himself, It is not love, but pity that I feel. She is a paralytic The nextdar the same scene was repeated.

with this difference, that the prince, having seen his daughter posed bjvthe artist, excused himself on the plea of a business engagement, saying that he would return in time to conduct Vi hnm. D.ui. twirl (hi sculptor was a model of manly her deplorable condition was, in ber father's opinion, a safeguard against anr of the dangers which he might otherwise have anticipated. He left toe room, and drove away in ins carriage, jv silence ensued. The scnlptordared not look il his model, but worked away on his clay image without raising his eyes.

Still a silence. Then it seemed as if a slight rustle had filled the room. A small white band stole across his mouth, and a burning kisa was printed on bis forehead. With almost a shriek, he leaped to his feet, and there, with blushes crimsoning her pale cheeks and alabaster neck, knelt the paralytic gin, wun ner oeauuiui eyes impior ins nanlon. "I saw you a long time ago," she said (an Italian woman when she loves knows no half measure,) "and I loved you.

My father was verv strict with me. I could not move without being watched. It was impossible for me to meet you or seeyou. I feigned paralysis. For two months I have scarcely moved.

In his pity for my condition try father relaxed his surveillance of my motions. He gratified every wish, and.fi an invalid, I excited no suspicion by desiring to become your sitter. I have said that I love you. If you do not return my love, I can only die." What answer made the American? We need not inquire; only when the Prince di returned, he found nothing in the studio but a clar model of his paralytic daughter. The original was nowhere to be found.

A few days afterwards, in a small town of ranee, the Florentine princess sunk her nobility iu the name ol an American sculptor. AH UNEXPECTED WITNESS A STARTLING COBItT SCENE. On my last tt to Mississippi I arrived one pleasant autumn evening at the village of Deep-woods, having cojie in the stage that day from Moody Creek. I found the Inn well filled, end learned that the cricult court was in session there. At the supper table I found the judge and some half dozen lawyers besides the county officers and numerous visitors who had come to attend the trials.

I had some business to transact with a merchant in that place, whose name was Landor Wallace, and I made up my mind to call upon him during tne evening, i knew where his store was, and after tea walk ed down to the place. The building was all fast however, and I turned my steps towards hiB dwelling. I knocked at the door, and my summons was answered bv a black woman. I asked her if Mr. Wallace was at home.

She looked into my face a few burst into tears. "He's 'to hum, but he's dead," she sobbed, with much effort I managed to learn from the negroes that Wallace had been murdered three days before, and that bis murderer would be tried on to morrow. Under such circumstances I could not disturb any other of the family, and having learned from tne slave the leading particulars I ltftthe door and returned to the Inn. There I learned some further matters touching the mur der, but those who understood the subject were busy, and I was forced to wait until to-morrow for a clear knowledge of the case. Though toe murder Had been committed so recentlv, tho body having not ret been buried vet as the court was in session, and the accused and witnesses on nana, me trial was to late place immediately.

On the following morning I entered the court room with the crowd, and tne nrst case wblcn came was that of the murder of or wal lace. I be accused was a young man, not over five and twenty, named Edward uemartin. lie bad been employed several years as Wallace' chief clerk, and was one of the most capabli routbs in the country. I bad some dealings witn Dim ana naa learned to love ana respect him. He was hch ly built with a native pride which, while it gave him firmness and dignity-never made his manner haughty or overbearing- He was an orphan of irpnen descent, and Had i 1 1 i i oten uoru auu rcarcu new vsiicaus.

Aim sat in the prisoners's box I could see blm plain Ir. He was very pale and seemed to suffer much: yet he did not look like a guilty man I could not believe ne bad ever committed murder. He was too brave and honorable for that At length the trial commenced. The wit nesBes came on and gave their testimony, and my heart sank witliin me as 1 round how stronslr the tide of circumstances sat again? him. it was proved that be wished to marry with Landor Wallace's niece, a young girl named Isabel Wallace, and that the uncle had objected.

From this a quarrel had ensued, and the youth had left Wallace's service. It was proed imtoermore toai uemartm uau cnai ieiged Wallace to fixht him a duel, and that the merchant had refused on the ground that he could not consent to meet one whom he still regarded la the light of a son. Then It was proved that the youth was very wroth at this and that he swore Mr. Wallace shuiild either fight or suffer the consequences." He was de termined to have satisfaction. On the morning after the murder the mer chant started on horseback for Dantonvill and in half an hour afterwards the prisoner mounted his Dorse and started alter mm, say inor aa lenntil into the aailJle.

that hi "would easily overtake Mr. Wallace1- then, he added, in presence of three ot who swore to the words: "I can trouMe as well on the road to Dalltonvillec'T anywhere!" This was at six o'clock in tl.p. evening. At nine o'clock, a man named Har-K rold Dunk Harrold he was called was com- ing from Dantonvllle, and in a smalk niece cf 1st wood through which the road cv upon the body of Landor Wallace, antf otd'' same time he saw Edward Demartin raj-RTK away from the spot. The moon was shining brightly and he recognized the prisoner very plainly.

He leaped from bis saddle and found the merchant senseless, and bleeding freely from several deep wounds, and close by he found a silver-handled bowie-knife, which had been proved to be the prisoner's property. The knife was covered with blood, and the physicians had decided ttut wounds had been maJe with it The murcJl man had also received a blow upon the "hlch was fn l-1 1 1 Vat tu.

He arose, Jtf although be was pale and wan, yet bis voiW: was firm. He tint called upon God to witness tbat be spoke tne trulD, and went on. lie said on tne afternoon before tbe murder, be had spent over two hours with Mr. Wallace and tbat all their difficulty had been settled, and that the merchant bad explained to him tbat bis only objection to the marriage of Isabel had been the fact that he had promised her father on his dy Ids bed that she should not be married until jit, twenty vears of aee. ox We made our ditTerence all up at tbat time," continued Demartin, aim Bir.

Wallace asked me if I would come back into bis service. He said if I bad been willing to have asked tbe reason of bis refusal of Isabella's band be would have given it, but I was hot and impet uous, and he was a little nettled by it, so ne re solved to tell me nothing. He bad just asked me if I would come back into his service, when some one entered the store who wished to Bee him. I told him I bad planned to go to Dantonville tbat evening, but would call on him wben I returned. He said he bad logo toDan- tonville too, and bade me call on him In that nlace.

at the time sinnifvinc tbat we could arrange matters there. After that went over by tne late, ana wnen came oacK i learnea that Mr. Wallace hid been gone half an boar. I got my horse ready at once, and wben about to start I maile tbe remarks which have been sworn to but I made them jokingly, in viewof tne friendly meeting ive were to nave, nine thinking of what was to occur. I rode at the distance of some ten miles, in the little wood, I found Mr.

Wallace's horse standing by tbe side of the road. A little further on I found the merchant weltering in his blood. I leaned from mv saddle and knelt down by the side of the body. I turned his face up and call ed hiB name several times. Tbe ilrsh was yet warm, but life seemed extinct Igot my hands aad clothes thus bespattered with blood, but I thought not of that.

When I found that life was gone, and that I could not well handle tbe body alone, I remonnted my horse and started back for help. a it Das been urged tnat if reany sougnc help I would have ridden on towards Danton ville, where i eouia nave round it wunin uau i mile, rather than towards a point where there was no bouse for over six miles. 'But I could not stop to think then. My first intent waB towards heme, and rouowea it. 1 na.l gone four miles when my horse fell.

He.was too lame to trot, boon aittrwards 1 was overtaken by Dunk Harrold and another man, who arrested me for the murder. With regard to the knife the knife found was wine, and it ad been stolen from ma that day. Th-s routh sat down as he ceased sneaking ad the judge shook his bead. Any one can invent a story nice ne said, in his charge to the jury, but no one could have invented the -circumstances which bear against the prisoner." in snort tne re seemed, to oe no nope tor use youth.

The judge had summoned the evidence all Up making it more strongagainst the prisoner than before, it possiDie, ana me jury were on me point of retiring, when a sudden commotion was perceptible at the door, and In a moment more a voung girl, or maiden, rushed into the court-room with her long chestnut hair floating wildly in the wind, her bosom, heaving deeply and her eyes fairly burning with intense eager ness, it was isaoei wauaee. was a lorm at once voluptuous and queenly. She cast one quick glance of love upon the prisoner, full of love, eagerness ana nope, ana men returning to the judge, she cried: Is he tried yet, sir is ne round guilty "Not yet but he soon will be," answered the judge, overcoming bis astonishment as quickly as possible for the benefit of his dignity. Oh ne's innocent, lie's innocent me fair girl exclaimed. He's not the murderer.

Hoi officers seize upon Dunk Harrold, and sae that be does not escape Uulck quick even as me maiden entered tne room mr- last words were uttered he made a rushforTSel street, but a stout boatman in the doorway held blm until the sheriff came up. The fellow struggled hard, but a pair of iron cuff were soon p.aeed upon nts wrists, ana ne was car rA liarlr "Now." continued the eirl. turning to me judge, will you send whom you please fc take my uncle's word down He it alive At these words Edward Demartin started to his feet and uttered a cry of joy. But his feelings quickly overcame him, and he sank fainting back, as soon as tne nrst outburst 01 astonishment consequent upon this startling intelligence had passed, Isabel explained what bad happened. She said two pbyslclaus were witn ner uncle, and tnat ne naa revived trom his lethargic sleep, and that he had his senses perfectly, and that he wished to give to the proper persona an account of the assault which had been made upon hid.

Tne court was adjourned at once, and men the judge himself, accompanied by three of the lawyers and the of the jury went the merchant's house. They found the wounded man very weak, and the physicians said he could not live long. As soon as the new com ers were arranged about his bed, he related to them as follows He said that on the day he started for Dan tonville, be saw young Demartin at his store and that all tne dinerence between mem wsb there made up, and also that he promised to meet him in Dantonville. He started alone on horseback, having first packed away five thou sand dollars, wmcn ne was to carry witn nim It was dusk when ne started, and in half an hour it was fairly night, only there was a bright moon. When he reached the little wood, he was overtaken by Dunk Harrold.

He felt a sudden fear tbat Harrold meant to rob him, for he (Harrold) had seen blm packing the money away in bis pocket-book. So he made a move for his pistol, but before he could reach It Harrold gave him a blow on the head with a short club, which knocked him from bis horse. He remembered well of the villain stab bing him several times, and knew when he took the money from his pocket He could remember nothing more, until he came to bis senses on the morning of the then present day. The pnysicians said tnat tne suderer had been in a sort of cataleptic state, induced by one of the stabs, and partly aided by the blow on the bead, ills account was taken down word for word, by one of the lawyers and duly witnessed while the two physicians swore tbat the man was in possession of full sens and sound mind. With these attested docu ments, the party returned to the court room The ccurt was quickly opened, and ere long the jury returned a verdict of acquittal for Edward Demartin, and thereupon ihtpy of the spectators burst forth in a horJ-Uf court tried not to stop.

Nr Mr. Dunk Harrold was soon put upon trial for the murder, and was duly convicted for the crime. When he foui.d tbat all was known he made a full confession. He confessed the deed and tbat he did it for the money. He knew that young Demartin was going on the same road, so be contrived to steal me youtn's knife, meaning to fasten the murder upon him and- but for the wondeiful interposition of the Power, which had held the murdered man for wi ness.

tbe scheme would have succeeded. Mr. Wallace lived until noon the next day, and before be died be placed tbe band of bis lovelv neice within the hand of Edward De martin. and bade them live together upon his bounty. He had no family of his own, and to Isabel be left all Ms property: but it was the understanding mat Edward was to manage I for her.

and be ber companion for life. Thougl there was deep sorrow in the loss of so hind arid generous an uncle, yet there was joy in the thought that she had a noble and loving busband.

Most of he marBheg are just "a wash" at low water, parts of them are bare when the tide Is out, and all of them, in tbe early Bumtcer, are covered with a rankgroxth of grass and weeds, which begin to decay in August. This is the commencement, too, of the sickly season, and a few minutes' walk about the grounds of the Observatory after sunset has been round sumcient lo bttng on upon strangers an attack of ague and fever. The place is so unhealthy tbat my family are compelled to desert it for four or five months every year.

Last year they broke up In Hay, and did not return till November. Now, I am not going into a dissertation con-cerolng malarias or miasm, for, be tbe seeds of the pestilence what they may, those of these intermittents are supposed to be due In a great measure to the marshes of the Potomac The decay of tbe vegetable matter upon them Infects the air with impurities of some kind, which predispose to chills and fevers such is the popular belief, at any rate. 1 1 i a iOlS UlingS De ID iue uis.uijr ut iue nmmun- er experiment, a process or. reasoning iue the following led me to try It If it bo tbe decay of the vegetable matter on the marshes tbat produces the sickness on the hill, then the sickness must be owing to tbe deleterious effects of some gas, miasm or ef fluvium tbat Is set free during tbe decomposition; and if so, the poisonous matter, or tbe basis ot It, whatever It be, must have been elaborated during the growth of tbe weeds, and set free in their decay. Now, if this rea soning be good, wby might we not, by planting otner vegetable matter between us ana mt marshes, and by bringing It Into rigorous growth just about tbe time tbat that ot tbe marshes begins to decay, bring fresh forces of the vegetable kingdom again to play upon this poisonous matter, and elaborate it again into vegetable tissue, and so purify tbe air 7 This reasoning appeared plausible enough to justify the trouble and expense of explrement, and was encouraged to expect more or less success lruia in iue circumstance mai everybody said." plant trees between you and the marshes they will keep off the chills." jiut as to me trees, it go nappens mat at tne very time wben me decomposition on tbe marshes is going on most rapidly, the trees, for the most part, have stopped their growth to prepare for tbe winter, and tnough trees might do some good, yet a rank growth of something' got up for the occasion might do more.

Hops climb they are good absorbents, and -of a rank growth, but there were objections to hops on account ot stakes, poles, I recollect that Ibad often seen sunflow ers growing about tbe cabins in tbe West, and badlieard, in explanation, that it was "heal- my" to nave mem. imswas so mucn more in favor of making the experiment with sun flowers. An "acre of sunflowers will absorb during tneir growtn many mousana gallons ot water more than are supplied by the rains. great absorbents. Ibey are of easy cultivation, are more ranc man nops mey require no poles, and the seed are very valuable.

I paid $8 a bushel for then. This plant, therefore, apparently ottered to tuinil all tne conditions required to satisfy the problem for If the sup position mat me ague ana lever poison be imparted to the atmosphere by the decaying veg etable matter in the marshes, and if thlsoison were set tree aunnr; me process or decay, wny Bhould not the sunflowers In their rank growth absorb It, and again elaborate It into vegetable matter, and so hr it, at least for a while, and until cold weather? I consulted upon this subject with one ot the most useful men this country ever produced the late A. J. Downing, of Newburg and he thought the idea good one. i mally, 1 resolved to make the experiment at the risk of spoiling the looks of a beautiful lawn.

Accordingly, in tbe fall of ISxj, the gardener trenched up to tbe depth of two and a half feet a belt about forty-five feet broad arouna me uoservatory on tne marsby side and from 150 to 200 yards from the building! The conditions of tbe theory I was about to try required rich ground, tall sunflowers and a rank growth. Accordingly, after being well manured from the stable yard, the ground was properly prepared and planted In sunflowers last spring, iney grew nneiy tne sickly sea son was expected with more than the usual anxiety. Finally it set in, and there was sha king at tbe President's House and other places as usual, but for the first time since the Observatory was built the watchmen about it weath ered the summer clear of chills and fevers These men, being most exposed to the night air, sutler most, and beretofore two or three re lays of them would be attacked during tbe sea son for as one falls sick another is employed in ms place, wuo, in turn, being attacked would in like manner give way to a fresh hand. And, last year, attacks oi ague and fever were more than usually prevalent in the neighboring parts ot tne city. liere is encouragement, not discovery or proof but it is worth further trial, at any rate.

Accordingly, tbe gardener is making ready to try the experiment again this year, but with variations. The "seeds are not to be planted quite as early as in the first instance and, in tne next place, mere area to be two plantings so mat me last crop may be caugnt by frost -while yet the plants are flowering, and therefore, tn full and rigorous growth, during me season ot active decay in me marsbes. Suppose the fact should be established that hedge of sunflowers between the dwellings of farmers and the. ponds or arsbes and standing pools, would generally keep ague and fever away, tbe discovery that Buen a simple contri vance would constitute an impassable barrier to "tne pestilence mat waiketu in darkness" would be an acblevement worth recording. ine destruction mat walketb at noonday may form the subject of another eommunica tion, if you can find room for It Indeed, other remarks upon tne subject in nana are suggesting themselves, but with your leave, I will re serve them for the next number of the Rural In the meantime, I hope that all who can, but especially those who live in noted fever and ague districts, will prepare to try the sunflower experiment mis summer.

Tbe readers of the Rural are mostly In th region of westerlyjvlnds, and that the results of each experimijit should throw light upon the rest, It Is des tible to know, approximately at least, in eac" case, me situation or tbe dwelling, its distance from and height above the supposed tityon of miasma, as well as its distance fromhe hedge of sunflowers, their height, know that one of the offices of tbe vegen'ie Kingdom is to preserve th purity ot atmosphere; and that during meir groTmany plants taite up irom tne air and fix fo tawbile various noxious vapors.
