TAUNTON.
From the BGrnstable GGsstte.1

From the Barnstable Gazette.
We we're long since acquainted with
the little village of Taunton. II was a
place for holding the several Courts,
and many clients, witnesses, horse jock
les and idlers, were there congregated-
a stream turned few mills, and the
herring were the chief welcome annual
visitors of its borders. The Green, as it
was termed, afforded fine spot for hus-
tie cap and ball, and the houses seemed
TO have existed until repair and change
had grown out OF fashion. A few stages
with lantern ribbed horses, trundled to
the door of the hotel, and every thing
ISippeared to have obtained its acme OF
Improvement. Seeds of decay were
sown in lis streets, and grew up in thorns
and thistles.
But how has it changed. A century
has passed in an hour. The marks Of
wealth meet the eye in every glance
Factories cover the spot where alone
was heard the click of the mill. Thou.
sands are lavished where dollars were
cautiously invested; and the genius Of
internal Improvement has stamped, and
city rises at its call. The most diff
cult experiments of the old world here
meet with success, and the discouraged
artisans of England here fnd patronage,
The agricultural resources of this
place are, 10 appearance, small. Navi-
cation is limited from the nature Of the
river but the deficiencies of both are
forgotten in its facilities for manufac-
lures. We were gratifed in being per-
mitted an examination of the Calico Fac
tory lately established at that place.
The power of water, steam, ingenuity,
chemistry, and enterprise, presents a
tout ensemble which would have astonisb-
ed our pilgrim fathers. The amount Of
property invested in working of cotton,
from IFS raw state 10 its finished perfec-
ton, as it graces the counter Of the
merchant, is proof Of the progressive
independence "of these Colonies" The
improvements making and made in the
outward appearance Of this place bear
no proportion TO the actual increase OF
wealth, We were informed that in the
Calico Factory and its accompaniment,
nearly a million Of dollars had been in
vesled--that the goods wrought here
we're of superior quality, and com.
manded a higher price Than any which
are imported from England. To de.
scribe the Interior ofthis building, and
the several various departments and

processes ofcolouring, bleaching, stamp.
ing, packing, &c. &c. is entirely beyond
our abilities-but the labour is so ar.
ranged and distinguished, that it resem.
bles. if we may SO speak, regular, YET
complex system of human machinery.
The Cotton Factory takes the article in
IFS raw state, and through the instrument
tally of s'its pickers and stealers," spin
ming jenneys, water looms, &c. is ena-
bled TO hand over to the Calico depart
ment the subject for their ingenuity.
Here it is taken possession Of by the
paper capped gentry Of all nations, kin
dred and tongues. Yorkshire, Lanca-
shire, Scotland, ireland, Wales and the
various dialects of Great Britain, are
glomerated 10 solemn poo uo9v over it,
and it comes from their hands as beauti.
full as though il had been washed in the
tints of the rainbow. From the little
which we could discover in flying visit
of few moments, it seems as though
the composition of colours, used for the
stamping and dyeing, must involve an &C
curate knowledge Of chemical prepara-
ton. The operation of stamping, or
printing, as it is termed, is executed with
great rapidly, and the pressure made
use of extremely slight; and yet the
colours in general, are as durable as the
material on which they are impressed.
Here is to be seen an Hydraulic Press,
used in packing. One cannot but re-
member the theory of Archimedes when
he views its powerful effects. This press
mus be of vast consequence 10 mechan-
les, ands considering its utility, is it sur
prising that ii does not more often occu-
pY the place of the screw and wedge.
We recommend to the traveller, who
shall pass through the village Of Taun-
ton, to obtain ticket from the superin-
tendant, and visit this establishment Of
enterprise and ingenuity.

Chesapeake and Dela,Care Canal
We learn from gentleman who has
Just returned from tour of inspec-
ton, that the workmen on the Della
ware and Chesapeake Canal are pro-
ceeding with great rapidity. During
the winter, sic hundred men were
kept at work. The number is now
increased to t,celre hundred, and EN-.
ployment will be given to several
thousands as soon as they can be OBJ
tanned. The tide lock at the de-
bouche into the Delaware stood like adj
amant. Excavations have been begun
for the lock al the western extremity
of the canal, and the work will, this
summer, be carried on, as it was dur
ing the last, on the whoie line of the Ca
nal. In 1897 the Canal will be naviga-
bic; and in four years from the date of
the commencement of the work, the
stockholders will, in all probability, re-
ceive adividend on their investments.

The Albany Argus announces the in
vention of a perfect method of dressing
flax in the straw, without either dew
rotting or water-steeping, or exposing
it to any chemical action. This inn
portant discovery, say the Argus, has
been made by MIR. Roumage, respect
able French gentleman who is now at
Albany, for the purpose Of making it
generally known; to encourage farmers
in the cultivation Of fax; and to consult
with others as TO his choice Of an es-
adjustment in this state. We under.
ders:and that he requires flax to be
drawn from the ground just when the
seed is beginning to change colour, to
be dried little in the sheaf, and deli
vcred to him when thrashed, in the
straw or hay state, without any rotting.
We learn, also, that he offers twenty
dollars ton for it in this state, which
persons conversant with the subject
say is very remunerating price.
