"Nuf sed. and socia ROBT. H. HARRIS. Pineville, P.O., N. C A JAPANESE MEDICAL SECRET. Tho historian of Commodore Perry's ex pedition to Japan concludes that the Japa nese aro deficient in knowledge of medicine nnd surgery, but he pays some of their medical preparations nre very remarkable, producing most singular effect. Of these, says the writer, there is one spoken of by Titsingb, who saw its application and its consequence ; and from soma of the officers of our expedition we have hoard of this pre- j paration, of which, we believe, they have j brought home specimens. Titsingb thus writes: Instead of enclosing the bodies ' of tlie dead in coffins of a length and breadth ! proportionate to the deceased, they pluce the body in a tub three feet bigh, two feet j and a half in diameter at the top, and two feet at the bottom. It is difficult to conceive bow the body of a grown person can be compressed into so small a space, when the i limbs rendered rigid by death, cannot be J bent in any way. The Japanese to whom I made this observation, told iue that they produced the result by means of a particu lar powder called Dosia, which they intro duce into the ears, nostrils, and mouth of the deceased ; after which the limbs, all at once, acquire astonishing flexibility. As he promised to perform the ceremony in my presence, I could not do otherwise than suspend my judgment, lest I should con demn, as an absurd fiction, a fact which, in deed, surpasses our conceptions, but may yet be susceptible of a plausible explana tion, especially by galvanism, the recently discovered effects of which ulso appeared at first to exceed the bounds of credulity. "The experiment accordingly took place in the month of October, 176.'!, when the cold was prery severe. A young Dutch man having died in our factory at Dezima, I directed the physician to cause the body to be washed and left all night exposed to the air, on a table placed near an open window, in order that it might become com pletely stiff. Next morning several Japa nese, some of the officers of our factory, tind myself, went to examine the corpse, which was hard as a piece of wood. One of the interpreters, named Derby, drew from his bosom a Santock, or pocket book, and took out of it an oblong paper, filled with a coarse powder resembling sand. This was the famous Dosia powder. He put a pinch into the ears, another pinch into the nostrils, and a third into the mouth ; pres ently, whether from the effect of this drug, or of some trick I could not detect, the arms, which had been crossed over the breast, dropped of themselves, and in less than twenty minutes, by the watch, the body recovered its flexibility. I attributed this phenomenon to the action of some subtle poison, but was assured that the Dosia powder, so far from being poisonous, was a most excellent medicine in child bearing, for disease of the eyes, and for other mala dies. An infusion of this powder, taken even in perfect health, is said to havo vir tues which cause it to be iu request among j the Japanese of all classes. It cheers tlie spirits and refreshes the body. It is care- ! fully tied up in a white cloth and dried, after being used, as it serves a great number of times without losing its virtues." The Wages of Needlewomen. It was recently stated in a New York journal that there were no less than twenty thous and dissolute women in that city. One great cause of this fearful infirmity is the low wages whieh are paid to the great body of needlewomen, as well as to most classes of females, except domestics. Imagine a widow, with two or three children, thrown upon the world without means, and compel led to make a living for herself and little ones; how can she do it by sewing? how pay rent, purchase clothing, fuel, and food? We arc told that the coarser kinds of gar- mentsj such as pantaloons and vests, are now made at rates so low, that an industri ous female, if she toil for ten hours a day throughout the week, even if ready at the needle, cannot realise more than three dol lars. This sum would be scarcely sufficient to provide food and clothing for a single woman. What, then, must be the condition of a widow, with one, two or even three, helpless little ones to take care of? The almshouse, or a course of infamy, are the only alternatives. The field for female la bor is not sufficiently wide in this country: there should be more avocations thrown open to them. Those, for example, who attend stores and that is regarded a high er and more profitable line than most others find it exceedingly difficult to get along. This is especially the case if they reside at a great distances from the centres of trade, and are compelled to pay omnibus hire ; to purchase one meal a day (dinner,) in addition to their boarding at home, and to attire themselves in neat apparel. This latter constitutes an important item, under the circumstances. The best possible cure is remunerative employment ; and this will apply in an especial manner to those young females in every great city who are beset by so many temptations. Phil. Inq. Boston, October 2. The Common Councill last night voted an invitation to President Pierce to visit this citv. There was some opposition, but the vote was finally carried. DR. FRANKLIN'S ONLY SON. While the name of Franklin has been so ; prominently before the public, it may not I be uninteresting to give some account of ; his only son, William, about whom we ' think little is known by the community at large. Unlike his faher, whose chief claim to veneration is for the invaluable services he rendered his country in her greatest need, the son, from first to last, was a de voted loyalist. Uefore the Revolutionary war he held several civil and military offices of importance. At the commencement of the war he held the office of Governor of New Jersey, which appointment he receiv ed in 17C3. When the difficulties between the mother oountry aud the colonies were coming to a crisis, he threw his whole influence in favor of loyalty, and endeavored to prevent the legislative assembly of New Jersey from sanctioning the preceedings of the General Congress at Philadelphia. These efforts, however, did but little to stay the tide of popular sentiment in favor of resistance to tyranny, and soon involved him in difficul ty. He was deposed from office by the Whigs to give place to William Living ston, and sent a prisoner to Connecticut, where he remained ubout two years in East Windsor, in the house of Captain Ebene zer Grant, near where the Theological Seminary now stands. In 1778 ho was ex changed, and soon after went to England. There he spent the remainder of his life, receiving a pension from the British Gov ernment for the losses he had sustained for bis fidelity. He died in 1813, at the age of 82. As might be expected, his opposition to the cause of liberty, so dear to the heart of his father, produced an estrangement be tween them. For years they had no inter course. When, in 1784, the son wrote to his father, iu his reply Dr. Franklin says : "Nothing has ever hurt me so much, and effected me with such keen sensations, as to find myself deserted in my old age by my only son : and not only deserted, but to find him taking up arms against me in a cause wherein my good fame, fortune and j life were all at stake." In his will, also, ho ulludes to the part his son had acted. After making him some bequests, he adds : "Tho part he acted against me in the late war, which is of public notoriety, will ac count for my leaving him no more of an estate he endeavored to deprive me of." The patriotism of the father stands forth all the brighter when contrasted with the desertion of the son. The Methodist Episcopal Church South. The Western Christian Advocate gives the following summary of Southern Meth odism : Southern Methodism has now six Bishops the Rev. Messrs. Soule, Andrew, Paine, Pierce, Carley and Kavanaugh. Two have died since its organization Drs. Capers and Bascom- Thej- have to attend twenty two annual conferences, besides tho Pacific, embracing an immense re gion, from Virginia to Texas and the Indi an Territory-. Some of these bodies are very large. In South Carolina there are over 45,000 colored members ; in Georgia more than 20,000 ; in Alabama nearly 20, 000 Arc. Whole number of traveling preach ers, 1,924 ; superannuated, 150 ; local, 4, 356 ; white members, 428,511 ; colored, 104,584; Indians, 3,757 ; total, 603.303. The increase last year was over 23,000 The Southern Methodist Church now num bers more than 300 missions, domestic and foreign ; 270 missionaries ; 70,000 mission members, with 25,000 pupils in the mission schools. There are missions among the people of color, tlie German population at the South, the Indian tribes, in China and California, (now the Pacific Conference.) The society has been in existence since 1845, and from .$68,000, its annual receipts have reached nearly $170,000. Southern Methodism has made rapid advances in its educational efforts, having not leas than 8,000 students in its numerous colleges and academies. In 1845 its Sunday School Society was formed. Now there are over 2,000 schools, nearly 93,000 scholars, 14, 000 teachers, and 17,000 volumes in the libraries. Five thousand dollars have been collected for the tract cause. General Rules rou Using Gnano. Nesbit, in his work on Agricultural Chem istry, gives the following rules for using guano. 1. That guano is best applied in damp or showery weather. 2. That guano should not generally be put on grass land iu the spring, later than April. 3. That when guano is applied to arable land it should immediately be mixed with the soil, either by harrowing or otiierwise. 4. That guano and artificial manures in general should bo put on binds only in quantities sufficient for the particular crop intended to be grown, and not with the in tention of assisting the succeeding one. Each crop should be separately manured. 5. That guano before application should be mixed with at least from five to six times its weight in ashes, charcoal or fine soil. 6. That guano should on no account be allowed to come in direct contact with the seed. POUTED! Si Tue Pennsylvania Lveoain. We believe that there can be no longer any doubt as to the combination between the black republicans (Fremouters) and the know-nothings (Fillmorites) of Pennsyl vania, with a view to defeat the demoerncy, both at the State election of the 14th of October and at the Presidential election of the 4th of November. The following are said to bo the terms of tho compact: In the first instance, it is agreed that the Fremouters and Fillmorites shall combine to elect the know-nothing candidates for canal commissioner and the other officers to be chosen by the State at large, as ulso the candidates for Congress iu tbe districts where the Fillmoreites are il.e strongest, and vice versa where the black republicans aro strongest. If the result of the vote at the State election justifies the measure, it is then proposed to run a double electoral ticket against Mr Buchanan; while, in the contrary event, tho Fremouters will not run any ticket, but will support the Fill more electoral ticket, on condition that they (the Fillmore electors) agree to cast their vote for Fremont, in case he gets in the other States more electoral votes than Fillmore. The know-nothings may have the State offices with their patronage and emolument, provided as a reward for this act of liberality on the part of the Fre mouters, they support the black republican candidate for the Presidency. It remains to be seen whether the voters of the old Keystone State will allow them selves to be driven wherever tlie wire-pullers of these two parties, for theirown selfish purposes, may choose to draw them. Jour nal of Commerce. A Question op Veracity. We pub lish a letter from Mr McMasters, editor of the Freeman's Journal of this city, in re gard to the position which Mr John C. Fre mont occupies before the public in regard to bis religion. He has denied, time and again, to clergymen and laymen that he is. or ever has been, a Catholic; yet Mr McMas ters challenges him to say so over his own signature, as he will thereupon prove him a liar ! The matter has now come down to a serious issue. The public generally aro not so much interested to know what Mr Fremont's religion is, as they are to know whether he has been guilty of inten tional and wilful deception. Some of Mr Fremont's warmest friends now doubt his honest', and nothing will satisfy them but a direct statement from him. It is really a most unfortunate position for a man aspiring to the office of the Chief Magis trate of twenty-four millions of people. The letter of Mr McMasters, however, is a stinging epistle, and the Fremont men can no lougar laugh or ridicule the matter out of countenance. Let us know whether Mr Fremont is a man of truth or not. Either Mr Fremont or Mr McMasters has told a glaring, unscrupulous lie -V. Y. Day Book. CP" Hon. P. S Brooks, of S. Carolina, has been nominated for re-election to Con- A Fkemonter. Joshua R. Giddings, a supporter of Fremont, says: 'I look forward to the day when there shall be a servile insurrection in the South; when tho black man, armed with British bayonets, and commanded by British offi cers, shall wage a war of extermination against the .master; when the torch of the incendiary shall light up the towns nnd cities of tho South, and blot out the last vestige of slavery." Tho above represents the character of our opponents, and teaches us what we may expect from them should they get into power. We do not charge that all the Fre mont men would endorse Giddings' re marks, but it is characteristic of the hatred entertained towards us by that party. Destitute condition of Kansas Em igrants. The Petersburg Express has a letter from one of the Virginia emigrants iu Kansas, stating that times are very bard, the winter fast approaching, and there nre many destitute of any prospect of braving its severity in their present pcnuilt ss con dition. All tlie fighting hud been stopped by the active measures of Gov. Geary. It would be well for subscriptions to be taken up to aid Southerners now q the territo ry. The Missouri Republican describes the difference between going and returning em igrants : They were then in companies of hun dreds ; they had family circles, and looked happy ; they took quarters in the cabins of steamboats, and partook of the luxury of repose and a plenteous table. They were thrifty looking emigrants, who would do honor to any new country. Wc now see them in squads of tens and twenties crippled, sickly and apparently poverty stricken crowded upon the decks of steamboats, almost begging their way back to the homes they left but a few months before. And civil war iu Kansas has wrought all this mischief doomed manv a hopeful heart to despair and death, and embittered the livesof hundreds more, whose piteous stories the world will never know.

THE EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION. TO THE PUBLIC. I take pleasure in announcing to the public, tlr.'t afl the arrangvinents for the Educational Convention to laj held in Sl uhary, on Tuesday, the 21st day of Octo ber (instant,) havo bra completed. Essayists of distinction have Ikxii pro cured on all subjects projxised ut the pre luniuary meeting in OoMsboro' in M.iy last; and from tho rvKsbte infonnat'on iu mv possession, I fivl authorized to say, that the ensuing Convention promises to be the most respectable and imposing one of the kind ever assembled in North Carolina. It will form ::n imjx.rtant era in the ed ucational history of the State ; ;ml from it will probably date new combine! and sys tematic efforts on the part of all the friends of the great cause which calls it together. In the nam" of that cati.-e, mid on In-half of the Committee of rrrparath ns, a cor dial invitation to attend this Convention is again given to all the friends of Education in North Carolina. Let no one stay away for the want of a special invitation, as such could not bo sent to every individual and let it le distinct ly understood that it is important for the loading Schools and Colleges to bo repre sented. Teachers and officers of Common Schools tire particularly requested to attend, and indeed the invitation is special to every friend of North Carolina. All who attend will be furnished with free return tickets over the the Rail Roads of the Suite, and the people of Salisbury will freely entertain the delegates, while there. The Convention will perhaps organizo Tuesday ('veiling at early 'candle light. c, ir. WILEY, Ch'n of Com. of Preparations. October 1st, 1850. The Inventor of Pickled HeitUJfO. Some of our most valuable inventions aro of so simple a character that the only won der about them seems to be that they were never found out before. It is said that tho Emperor of Russia has just returned from a visit to the little town of Borgo on tho Bal tic, where he took part in the ceremony of laying the foundation of a monument to tho memory of the fisherman Beukels, who first introduced the plan of preserving herrings by salting and packing them . Formerly the vast number of herrings which woro captured on the northern and western shores of the empire, were last to the world by tho rapid decomposition of tho fish. Beukels conceived the happy idea of salting them, and having instructed his neighbors bow to preserve them by this process, went him self to Finland, and taught the Fins how to deal with the fish. As a reward for his public spirit, tho name of Beukels has been handed down to posterity as a benefactor of mankind. The Emperor Charles tho Fifth vi.-itcd his tomb ; Peter the Great granted a pension to one of his deceiidants, and now Alexander has laid the foundation stono of a monument to be erected to his honor. . . Observations on the Moon. Science has been enabled to find out incch concern ing lunar mountains. The elevation of ur wards of a thousand have been accurately measured, on the scientific principle that the length of the shadow indicates thehoight of the body behind which it is east, provid ed the inclination by which the light falls is known. Whenever light falls on a per pendicular body with an inclination of half a right angle, (forty-five degrees,) tho shadow formed beyond is exactly t , long as the body is high. When the sun shines bv this inclination upon the lunar mountains, their shadows aro consequently as long na the mountains are tall. When tho light falls with greater inclination the shadow is lengthened iu a ratio known to the mathe matician. Thirty-nine of the lunar moun tains are found by estimates taken in this way to be higher than Mount Hlnnc; six aro about eighteen thousand feet. In Illustra tion of the delicacy with which investiga tions relating to the height of lunar moun tains have been carried on, the German as tronomer Moodier has distinctly seen a shadow in the imam not larger than threo seconds of angular measurement, and which was cast by a body nnt exceeding twenty eight feet in bight. 1 m - Tuienxial Convention ok til: Episco palChuiu h of tub L"mtk: Status.
