DOCTRINE OF COLORS. ,
An onpretendiog little book has ost been pub
lished by Dr Fraotz, ol Dresden, on the Eye,
io ffhieb the physical construction of that or
gan, and the whole science of optics, sre treated
j in a popular and concise manner. - The tltow-
who i respect to color are not without
novelty - Light, or ratbsr every ray of fight
consists of ihe primitive colors, bloe yellow, and
red. If ibe surface of an illomioated ob
ject be bf soeh nature as io reflect tbe ray of
light wiih an eqtal mixture of these colors, it
will appear wbjte. and ibe more etjaal aod inti
mate the mixture, tbe whiter wilt be the color.
If on tbe contrary, tbe illomrnaied surface be of
eoch a natore as to decompose the ray and sep
arate either of the three -colors ; if now it at
tracts two of these odors to itself, or, in other
words, absorbs them, .i appears of the third, or
jemaioing color, which not having been absorb
ed, is reflected for example, if bloe and yellow
be absorbed, tbe object appears red. Bat if tbe
object bave tbe property of absorbing one only of
the primitive, colors, it will then appear of that
color which results from a mixture of tbe two
reflected colors J if, for instance, the red be ab
sorbed, the color of the obiecr will" ha
,-which results from tb mixture of rellow and
blue. From thd respective degrees in which
one or other of the primitive colors predominates
inthe mixteie 4f the reflected colors, arise the
infinitely varioos gradationa aod abades of color,
or light. -Lily, if-tiw surface of tbe object
possess the property of absorbing all ths three
primitive colors, jit will then appear black, which
wifl be the more deep and iniensa, the more per
fectly aod equally they are absorbed. The ob
ject in this case is indeed illominatsd, bat re

Extension ol suffrage says I, is the card
I'll play. That wfl take the masses and
masses is power, for majorities rule. At
that time, squire, we had the forty shilling,
freehold qualification, and it extended no
farther; so I went lor universal sunrage;
for, thinks I, if I can carry that, I can go

Taxation and representation should go band

of recording the departure. for market, of

Monday laat our attention was attracted by
a crowd assembled on Cbeap-side which we
found to be admiring a lot of fine cattle.
On enquiry we found they bad been pur-
rbased for tbe! Cincinnatti market bv Mr
J.mes Bns, from Mr. R Allen, of Jessa
mine. They were fatted by Mr. Alia n. We
estimated their Weights ranging from 2500
to 3000 lus. We find them estimated at
S500 to 4000 lbs. by Mr. Finnell of the In
telligencer. As large beeves or even larger
may nave been and may again be produced,
but fatter ones we do not expect to behold.
Lvery point accessible to the organs of se

If friend Hooper of tbe Western Farmer,
can find them out, we ask bim to take a look
at these cattle, they certainly take the pslra

The Temperance Convention that was he! 1
at this place early in September, resolved ca
poblisbieg a 'paper of the above title and chanc
ier, and appointed Dr. Jjho Dickson and D. II.
M'AnaHy to coed net it. from the many prc;:-
tog engagements. Dr. Dickson already has,!.?
deems it impracticable for him to be recognise J
as one of the editors, though he, will cbeerfcllj
ose all Va tnflaeoce otherwise, to promote its in
terest; the subscriber therefore, proceeds to is
sue this Prospectus io hisowo na me, with a hep
that he will be aided in tbe undertaking, by a J
tbe friends of the Temperance cauae throogbect
ibe country, and that tbe paper may suon haro
an extensive circulation. . ;

sands bt dollars are -aonoallyexpended at tt.c i
tres, at circuses, at the race track, at grccerirr,
while no pains are spared, the Itixory cf retire
ment and ease foregone, and no labor deemed tco
severe to advance the interests of political aspi
rants, can you not dofiomething in a causs that
must be dear to every true patriot, philanthropic,
and chiiatian ? Recollect there are bat few, ve
ry few, such papers in all the Southern counliy.
The Western part of North Carolina, tbe Wes
tern part of Virginia, and the Eastern part cf
Tennessee particularly, need a periodical of Ihh
kind, and it is for yoa now to say whether tlej
shall have it. . ., f
The very low price at which it was fixed bj
the Convention, will make it necessary, that a
very large subscription be had, before tbe publica
tion of it can be justified.
