Mr. Editor: It is with no littlo decree of pleasure that I " tnke my pen iu hand to inform you of tlio lioaltlt" of our Union store, " hoping these few lines may Dud you enjoying the sumo blessing." On the 27th of last month we completed stock subscription to the amount of fifteen thousand dollars; counting one hundred uud fifty members. This is not all nt present uruilalilc; a portion, owing to ' hard times,' being settled by note with interest payable iu installments and produce to suit the cir cumstances of those interested. A few linve moved out of tho vicinity before pay incut, so tlmt our permanent stock may not, now, be above fourteen, or fourteen thou- sand five hundred.

The object of our trade is not to in crease the capital, but merely to defray ex penses; those interested reaping the profits or savings of trade as they go along. Our ;tles to members have been made nt about eighteen per cent, below common rates. 2. Loss by fire about sixty dollars, be sides that arising' from discontinuing busi ness during one summer. 3. Out-of-the-way location ; trading most of our time on a Mock entirely to ourselves. 4. We have counted all expenses to tho 1 Cth, including two months' canvassing for new stock. 5. Our invoice of merchandise was taken nt original cost, not counting freight. C. Lots and building nro set down at cost, two or four hundred dollars below present value. 7. Ilave made no nccount of store furni ture, scales, Ac. 8. A portion of our trade lias been turning produce paid on stock into cash without profit. In a few cases have not done even this. Now, then, if under these drawbacks the Union Store has more than met its ex penses, what may it not do for its members with a more respectable capital, more en couraging smiles from the community, nnd fewer sneers from its enemies? Utopian, is it ? Respectfully, yours, C. lloEL. Salem, Sept. 26, 1859. Take Time to Think. Thoughtless la Jjor is most unprofitable. A carpenter can not lay out a frame of a house thoughtlessly, and have each part lit its corresponding part. The woman who ninkes your shirt lias to calculate has to think while cutting jt out. It is not lost time we spend in careful thought, in plunuitig our labor, rea soning of effects to result from certain causes. If wheat is to be sowed, let as think of the preparation necessary of the mode of doing it, of the profit of it. John Brown knows that he wnuts an eighty-acre lot plowed. When " things come round," he goes at it. He does not stop to think. If wet, no matter; if dry and cloudy, all the same; if the work might profitably be deferred and other work performed, that needs it, it makes no difference to John Brown. If it cost him double the amount it would to perforin it at a seasonable time, rio matter; John's thoughtlessness keeps him ignorant of his losses; ignorance is bliss, and 'tis fully to be wise folly to think, perhaps! Take time to think. There is no need of whirling through life like a popinjay. It is not the way to make the most of it. If yon desire cash, you can only get it by thinking, calculating, and laboring for it. If happiness ia desired, it is only obtained, substantially, hy earnest, 6?r!ous thought. Piairit Farmer.

L.Tulbot, In commencing :a scries of articles for the Fort Wayne Times Iu regard to the Wyandotte Cave, makes tho following comparison between tho Wyandotte and Mammoth Caves: Wy andotte Cave, one of the most extensive and remarkablo in the world, Is situated in Crawford county, Indiana, about twenty five miles below New Albany, on Blue river. I have called it a rcmurkable cave The Mammoth Cave of Kentucky has hith erto been designated as tho greatest known cave In tho world. It may startle your scientific renders to hear me assert the fact . that there is one stalagmite alone in Wyan- and mapped a distance of twenty miles in length, and there aro numerous avenues. I huve never penetrated to their end, al though I havo visited the cave for scientific and other purposes over a dozen different times, spending on ono visit four days und nights within it darksome balls. The Mammoth Cave is distinguished more for its vastucss than its beauty; the Wynndotto for its great extent, its mammoth hull, its lofty ceilings, reaching frequently to the height of two hundred and sixty-seven feet, and especially for its numerous and beauti ful fountains, which almost continually meet the eye in every direction. A portion of this cavo bus been known and visited over forty years. This portion is about three miles In length, and is termed the Old Cave. In 1850, a new door from within the Old Cave was discovered, which extended the caves united to about twelve miles in ex tent. Iu 1853 a still newer discovery of ingress was accidentally made, which has uddcil eight or ten miles thereto, and dis closed a plan of formation more extensive and more beautiful than any heretofore known. This cave contains every kind of formation peculiar to the Mammoth aud other caves, besides some very peculiar and un'que formations found only in Wyandotte Cavo. The First Meeting of Kosslth and Garibaldi. A correspondent of the New York Times says that these two champions of Hungarian and Italian independence met for the first time at the international dinner, g'.vcn by Consul Sanders, in London, in 1854, to Mr. Buchanan and the European Republican leaders. In the course of the evening, Kossuth's eloquence became the theme of eulogy. Rising with a modest grace, Kossuth replied, ever elegant and appropriate in tho sociul hour as he is grand and pursunsive on public occasions. At the close of his response, he exclaimed, with electric earnestness, " Gentlemen, would you know what I think the most eloquent speech of modern times?" He repeated in impressive tones the words "Soldiers! for tho love you bear your country, I offer you war, hunger, thirst, cold and death. Who accepts the terms, let him follow me!" There is the orator, he said, waving his hand towards him, whose intrepid impetu osity now rings through the world. Gari baldi, taken by surprise was, for a few mo ments, quite overcome with emotion, but he mastered himself, and made a beautiful and soldierly reply. Before parting that night, all gathered into a circle once more. Mazzini took the guitar, and striking the chords with the hand of a master, accompanied the thrilling burst of patriotic songs, in which Ilerzen, the Russiun Republican; Worcell, the Pole; Pulhky, Ledru Rollin all that band of glorious and accomplished spirits, joined with a fervor never to be forgotten by those who witnessed and shared it. Natoleos and the Prophets. Almost fifty years ago the Rev. George Stanley Faber, an English clergyman nnd a writer well known to the theological world, ear nestly contended that a portion of the proph ecies of Scripture referred to Napoleon I., and endeavored to trace out his destiny by their light. The Emperor's final defeat and exile had not entered into Mr. Faber's calculations; but, though his theory was apparently overturned by these events, by a slight modification of his positions, he re ferred the restoration of Napoleonic power to a successor and relative to the great Em- lnT nnd in 1852 Publisl,cd treatise entitled " Napoleon III., the Man . ber prophecies constant success to Napo- Jeon until 18C6, when he will fall suddenly and irremediably. , : , Tl,e ,n pe may have one goou eneci upon os, in cnecmng me exces- ' ' J UB Mr. Cobb and his free trade followers tell as that gold enters into com merce like any other article of merchandise, and holds only a relative value. Perhaps they may condescend to explain why it is, when the raolta of the treasury tn empty by the demand for this golden merchandise abroad, that it is not replaced with some thing else which tho public creditors will accept fur their claims. So absurd a theory was never before propounded, for according to it the more gold shipped abroad, tho more genera! prosperity is enhanced. We tried that theory both in 1837 and in 1857 and the country ascertained at some little cost how it worked. Whenever we have to supply a deficiency between the ex changes of natural products and industrial skill, by tho payment of tho difference in J those precious metals which form the busis of our banking system, currency and ex change, then it must be taken for granted that we are fast going to the leeward, and the sooner the ship is tacked the better. England never pays us nny difference, ex cept iu fuiniuo seasons, und when a tariff which protects our own labor excludes their manufactures. Such won the experience under the tariff of 1842, and such will be the experience again, whenever we will have wisdom enough to return to a policy based upon that principle. Aud until wo do so, gold will contiutio to flow out under a false and pernicious system, which protects, en courages, and prefers foreign labor, though it be that of the pauper aud convict, to free American labor. ISf Now that peace is established in Eu rope, the flow of emigration to this country will gradually recover its wonted volume. There can bo no doubt that the war has checked it very materially. In tho ordin ary courso of things the emigration for this year would have been equal to if not greater than for 1856; the evil effects of tho finan cial revulsion having passed away in Eu ropo and the United Stutes. The great hu man spring tide hitherwnrd wns interrupted by tho depreciation of saleable property on tho continent, which followed the warlike preparations early in the year, and by the drafting of able bodied men info the Lnnd wchr. The first reason was a very cogent one, ns tho German emigrants generally sell off their farms, houses, and stock for ready money, which they bring with them to invest in the cheap aud fertilo lands of the West. The return of peace will speed ily restore this species of property to its for mer value, and this fact, combined with the withdrawal of the extraordinary military restrictions, will tend to increase the amount of emigration for the latter half of the year. As the Germans prefer to come out in the spring or summer, however, the rush of em igration will be postponed till 18G0. Of course these remarks apply exclusively to Austria, Prussia, tho German States, and Italy. Death of a Pbi.nter who knew Junius. The Pendleton (S. C.) Messenger, in a sketch of the " Old Stone Meeting House," iu that town, after speaking of several cel ebrities buried in the graveyard, says: Be neath a cluster of cedars reposes all that is mortal of John Miller, printer. Wo lin gered long by his grave, for his eventful life afforded us food for meditation. If we could have seen and conversed with his de scendants, who live in this vicinity, wc could givo a fuller sketch of him. Mr. Miller was tho oldest typo in the State. For the pub lication of Junius' letters the author of those papers he well knew he was expelled from England. He came to South Caro lina: probably worked for a while in the office of the first paper published in this State, ot Charleston, and thence removed to Pendleton, using the press which Gen. Greene hnd in his campaign: he did job work until he commenced tho publication of the Pendleton Messenger the second paper established iu this State. The world has speculated much as to the authorship of Junius, but John Miller carried the secret lo his grave at the " Old Stone Meeting House," and has left no information as to the name of the author. Poisons and Antidotes. We recently published an article defining olive oil as a general antidote for poisons. A correspon dent writes to the Louisville Journal that it has been the aim of scientific physicians for many years to discover something that could be used in those cases wherein it is impossible to discover the nature of the poi son swallowed, or when the urgency of the case does not permit time to send for a phy sician, but all the efforts in this direction have proved unsatisfactory. Olive oil has been commended, but it will not answer in a great many cases. In cases of poisoning by liquor, potassa, soda, ammonia, carbon- j ate of potash and ammonia, Ac, olive oil may be given, as it unites with the poison, 1 forms soap, and protects the stomach, but it would be of no benefit in a case of poison ing by phosphorus. Emetics and demul-' cents are also recommended in all cases. '' This ia more reliable as a general thing than ' the above, but it has its objections, as we cannot always get emetics to clear the stomach entirely of the poison; therefore, our end is not accomplished. j Prof. C. W. Wright, of the Kentucky School of Medicine, who has devoted mncb time to the etodt of pefem tod tbw pro- side of Truth in every issue No. 20 per antidotes, in a pnper on that subject says: " Tho best antidote for all acids, ex cept Oxalic, Arsciiious, and Prussic, Is car bonate of soda. For the salts of cromium, copper, iron, gold, mercury, tin, nnd zinc, Antidotes: albuminous substances, as eggs, flour, and water, milk, tec. For the salts of lead antidote, iihim; aud for narcotics, emetics with strong coffee or tea should be used. Emetics and demulcents to be used in poisoning by vegetables and animal irri tuuts." Prof. Wright also gives a for mula for the preparation of a general an tidotc, applicable in all cases of corrosive poisoning, and we think It comes nearer perfection than anything heretofore pro posed. It consists of hydrate of mngno- sia, sweet oil and albumen, iu equal parts, given in tablespoonful doses until relief is obtuined. If this antidoto be preceded by an emetic, it will be sure to bo followed by tho happiest results. The Rahey " Seciiet." In the Gen tleman's Furrier, by Burtlett (sixth edi tion) published iu 1792, pnge 293, is the following: "The method proposed by Dr. Bracken is to tie tip one of his foru feet close, and to fustcn a cord or small rope about tho. other fetlock, bringfng the end of it over the horse's shoulders; then let him bo hit or kicked with your foot behind that knee, at the same time pulling his nose down strongly to the manger, and you will bring him down upon his knees, where he should be held till he is tired, which cannot bo long; but if he docs not lie down soon, let him bo thrust sideways ngninst his quar ters to throw him over; by forcing him down in this way several times you may teach him to lie down at tho words you first used for that purpose." Rarey's Rystera is exactly the same. Captain Bonaparte. Raymond, in a late letter to the New York Times, says: " It may not be uninteresting to your renders to know that an American, Jrromo Bonaparte of the First Chasseurs d'Afriquo, particularly distinguished himself during the Italian campaign. I had the pleasure or seeing Captain Bonaparte at Novara nnd Milan during my stay at tho allied head quarters, and gleaned many interesting items from him concerning the fino cavalry regiment he belongs to. I am told that at Solferino Captain Bonaparte wus conspicu ous in his dashing attacks upon the masses of Austrian lnfautry. I notice from tho official returns that his regiment lost a great many men as well us officers during the many charges made. I tun happy to add, however, that the Captain escaped unhurt, although he was ever foremost among the brave men under his command. I can as sure you I took great pleasure and pride in informing his fellow officer whom 1 met in Milan that Captain Bonaparte was a genu ine Yankee, und one that we claimed as a fair representative of Brother Jonathan." Pamno Feat Blonpin to de Eclipsed. W. T. Aymnr, a favorito performer iu tho Louise WeJIs equestrian troupe, is about making arrangements to do somo somer saults nt Niagara that will entirely eclipse M. Blondiu's feat of tight-rope walking. Ho proposes, if Mr. Porter will allow scaf folding to be erected on Goat Island, to turn a somersault down into the water nt tlie foot of the island, a depth of one hun dred and seventy feet from the point where he springs. He chooses this place because it is the only one witli sufficient depth of wuter, nnd clear of rocks for him to alight in. The bare contemplating of such a feat, as of a thing actually to bo accomplished, stamps Mr. Aymnr ns one of the boldest public performers tho world ever saw. If lie takes the daring ienp nnd lives he is in dubitably the world's champion iu his line, Bolton Herald. Love and Politics. During tho Fre mont campaign, our Democratic friends were severe on us Republicans because a certuin zealous church in Kent county had dismissed from its communion a member who avowed his determination to vote for Jnnies Biichunan for President. Certainly, that church would now stand vindicated before the country. But we now have a case of particular zeal which fairly equals the above. A staunch old Dred Scott Lo eofoeo, of Eaton county, ns we learn from the Republican, has a sensible daughter, who has for some time been courted by a Republican lover, and, as tho upshot of it, had concluded to marry. This consumma tion the pnternul Democrat decidedly op posed. Jjeing questioned, he freely avowed that his great objection to the daughter's lover was that he was " a Black Republi can." lint love laughs at impediments. The mutual attentions of the young people continued. A few days since, the daughter was riding out in a carriage in company with her futlier, when the subject of the proposed marriage came np, and he asked nrr if she intended to persist iu her deter mination of marrying the Republican youth. She replied that they intended to get mar ried the coming full, when he requested her to get out of the carriage, and demanded her bonnet and shawl. She complied with both requests, and found lodgings at a neigh bor's house. The young man, learning how matters stood, was soon on hand, and, like a gallant lover, soon provided for the dis carded daughter a husband's home. We should not be surprised to hear that the young couple brought old fatrr familiut aronnd all right, and that he voted for the Rf publican candidate in 18G0. Detroit Tribune. Is n Trce?

The New York Sun says, for some time past English statesmen and the English people have been looking to the United States as their naturul ally. In ptiblio meetings, and even In both Houses of Par liament, language has been used which clearly Indicated the desire of the speaker! that England should pursue such a policy as would win for her the friemUiip of this country. Evon tho English aristocracy be gin to realize that the timo may come when England, pressed by rivals and enemies In Europe, must throw herself upon the gene rosity of the great Republic of the West for aid and protection. In a recent discussion in the British House of Lords, on the subject of submariue telegraphs, Lord Elleuborough, a tory peer, declared that it was the duty and policy of England to favor every project which tended to cement iu a closer bond of friendship tho wo great branches of a kindred race, and to draw England aud America luto friendly ullinuce. Let England bo luvolvcd in a life ami death strttgglo with the despotisms of Eu rope as she may be before many years pass by and the appeal of her people aud of her tulere will be to the great American Democracy. We mny yet have to extend our protection to the British Islands, and by so doing become heir to the great coloni ul possessions of tho "parent country."

Tho Valley Tan contains the following sta tistics of Mormon population. Tho popu lation or Mormons in tho United States and British dominions in 1855 wns not less 68,700, of which 38,000 were residcut In Utah, 5,000 in New York State, 4,000 ia California, 5,000 iu Nova Scotia and the Cumulus, and 9,000 in South America. In Europo there were 30,000, of which 28,000 were in Great Britain and Ireland, 5,000 in Scandinavia, 2,000 in Germany and Switzerland, and in Franco and the rest of Europe 1,000; in Australia and Polynesia 2,400; in Africa 100; and on travel 2,800. To these if wo add the different branches, including Strnngites, Rigdonitc.t, and Whilcites, the whole sect was not less thau 120,000. In 185G thcro appears to have been a decrcaso in tho population of Utah, the number being only 81,022, of which 9,000 were children, about 11,000 women, and 11,000 men capable of bearing arms, There were 2,388 men with eight or more wives; of these, 13 havo moio than nine teen wives; 730 men with five wives; 1,100 with four wives, and 2,400 with moro than ono wife. teaT The receipts of tho American l)i bio Society the past year exceeded by ncurly $20,000 thoso of the previous year, Tho receipts of the American Tract So ciety amount to $383,378, being a slight increase over the previous year, The re ceipt of the American Home Missionary Society aro in advance of the previous year.
