Wohler and Devilic, have sncceeded in crystalizing the well known substance boron, which has hitherto been know*n oiily as a green isli brown powder,—or in combination with an acid, nnd they submitted specimens of tbecrys- tals to tlie French Academy of Sciences a short time since. These crystals possess a brilliaucy and refractive power which nothing equals but the diamond, and they rival eve.i that in hard ness, being capable of scratching corrnndum* which, next to a diamond, is the hardest sub stance known. The specimens yet obtained are very small, and have a shade of red, or yel low ; but the color is believed to be accidental, and they hope tliAt furtlier experiments , will enable them to procure it colorless - Boron agrees with silicon iu many of its properties, and it is considered as intermediate between it and carbon. This discovery may soon put us ju possession of a fictitious diamond wliieh the most experienced eye. will be unable to distin. guish from the gennine. A Cheervul Philosopht.—The following trutifal passage ocenrs in one of the Fredericka Bremer books: “There is ntnch goodness in the world, altbbtigh at a superficial glance one is disposed to doubt it. Wliat is bad is noised abroad, is echoed back from side to side, and newspapers and the social circles find much to say about it; wbilsy what is good goes at best like snnsfaine, qnietly'through tlie world.” fi^'Here is a venerable marriage notice of the “dden time,” taken from the New York Weekly Mnsenm, June 9, 1792.

The annual lucetilig of the stockholders of tlic Western Railroad was held at Market Hall ail .Monday last, Col. Jno. McRae in the chair. After the traii.sactioii of such preliminary buBiness as is usaal tlie following resolution of fered by E. J. Halo, E.sq., .was adopted-— “Whereas it is umler.stood that the President and Directors of the Company have been ap plied to by several of the owners of mineral lands to negotiate for an interest in those lands in favor of the Company::—Re.'olved that this meeting i.s gratified to find that the owners of tlio.se lands have at length been aroused to the advantages of a connection with our road, and that tlie President and Directors bU authorized and requested to make such arraiigmeiits of the kind as may be mutually advantageoBS.” The election for President of the company resulted in the choice of C. B. Maliett, the former effi cient aiid zealous president of the Board. The election for Directors ■»*as then held. Maj. D. G. McRae declined a re-election and nominated in his stead the llou. J. C. Dobbin—and it being understood that MsJ A. J. O’Hanlou was averse to serving as Director, owing to the pressure of other claims apon his time and at tention, the board as elected stand thus:—Hoi. J. C. Dobbin, Geo. McNeill, A X. McKethan, T. S. Lntterloh, IV. T. Horne, John H. Cook, H. L. Myrover,, IV. McLaurin, Jau es Kyle. The publication of a statement of the claima of the Railroad upon tlie support of the peojile of Cumberland was ordered to be printed, nnd we trust that it w*ill Im carefully read by every voter iu the county before he goes to the polls to ratify or condemn tlie action of the magis trates respecting a county subscription. The matter lias been and is still misrepresented to the people. Designing men, demagogues and self interested individuals arc striving to pre judice the minds of our citizens against a.ssis- tnnee to this great enterprise. Some we give credit for better motives while wc pity their ignorance and condemn their seif blindness. IVc conjure tlie people of Cumlicrland to tliink for tliemselvcs, and wc present a few facts for their con.sideratioii. First, tlie impor tance of the Railroad to the State, and tlie vast resources wliieh its comidetion will devel- ope. And we cannot say more on this point thai is embodied in tlic able nnd succint Re. port of tlie President of tlic Road, in anotlicr column. We call e.special nttentiou to it, and we ask every citizen of Cumberland to weigli well the prospects of benefit and injury before ho forms an opinion or polls liis vote. We tell yon democrats "of Ciiraberland, that an effort is being made to paralyse our energies and to defeat us hereafter by m'en wliose allegiance to tlie party is of a very" doubtful tenure. They represent that it is a know* nothing manmvre to obtain the prestige of success in a work whose cxecufion will be the stepping stone to the fu ture advaiicenicut of works of internal improve ment—and they further say that if the county agrees to the subscription, it n ill be mainly owing to the influence of know nothings basing tlieir local political capital upon this snbscrip- tion. We tell yon that this is a raLsrepresen- tatioii; that these men are seeking popularitv by decrying a work who.se importance can only be estimated by the general good acmiiig to the wliole people. As an answer to all this rigmarole, we cal! your attention to the name of J AS. C. DOBBIN as a Director in this road, and we ask you if yon will permit any man, whatever may be his claims upon your attention, your credniity or yonr confidence to prcjodice you politically against the Wes tern Rail road? In fact, not only as Demo crats in a party sense of the term, but as demo crats in the more extended, the true, rational, republican meaning of the vvord, we appeal to you to give yonr hearts, your hands and your votes to this enterprise. Be assured that it is for your own benefit, yonr own interest, as well as tliat of the state at large I P^onally, and so far as we ourself are individotmy con- cenmd, it matters very little whether the Rail Road is completed or not, and we arc therefore the better qualified to express an opinion whether or not the benefits would exceed the temporary inconveniences, if in fact any existed attendant npon the subscription. In other quarters it is represented that the democrats wish to overtax their fellow citizens of the opposition, and capital is sought to be made of this declaration. All intelligent men can sec the drift of these objection nrged by the opponents of the road. Self interest is at the bottom of the whole of it. Ask a man what bis objections afe to the country subscrip tion, and he will tell yon that the peoplb will be taxed for it, that he is a great friend of the PBOPLE, that lie wishes to see the burden of taxation removed from the peoplx Ac &c. Look into that man’s antecedents and you will find him to be eitlier an old office banter, or one who is looking to the dear people for an office, hoping to obtain it by a great ostensible interest in the welfare of the peoj^e. The argn- meiits and representations of snch men are worth about os much as were the promises of the know nothing to a democrat to support him for an office when they were sworn to op pose him. But we need not| understood by the ■words upon the people of the conn borne in mind that pay the tax tiicmsci money is snbscrilicilj course of time the rl completed as to yid holders—so that til but a nominal impe lation within CuniF speak the more cond urge upon them the! ce.ssity for tliis siiljj whicli must acnic tol completion of the roJ moment that a .viiigld upon tlio people, and icng observation ami matter."!, tliat the iiitl people of tlic countyl and increased, wc wc the matter, and our j that we would be community to snstAid of Magiftrntes in siilj this enterprise.
