COTTON SHOE THREAD.

Shoe makers will long deny aud at l,st reluctant
ly acknowledge. that cotton thread sbeer for shoes
than flax; but shoe wearer and shoe buyer knows
the TACT, and wishes to communicate it to the sons
oi St. Crispin and to the public. Cotton thread is
slow to rol, swrls and disends by moisture more
than flax, and hence the seams Of shoes well closed
10y the former, never rip-Shoes thus made are
worth 10 or IL per cent more than if made with
fax; but TO the workmen the use Of cotton is less
agreeable. requiring more to prevent the break
ing Of the thread and some skill in attaching the
bsistle.- Any difficulty standing the way OF old
habits, is insurmnuntable by common minds; hence
the necessity OF good bristes, little trouble in
'roughening them with knife 10 make them adhere,
and less careessness in sowing, will long be formd-
able barriers in the way oil this improvement. Shoe
makers stand in the predramen, of Peter Pnder's
razo, seller. Makers ard buyers have separate and
dlscordant interests. Masons and b. ickayers &C
cording to professor Omstead. and according to
my own tostly experience use more than double
the quantity OF lime that the good # their work re.
qnires, merely because their abours lessen
ed by 1t. Though shoamakets. fol very good rea.
sons concerns themselves, will doubtless condemn
the use OF cotton thread buyers and wearers will
consult their own interests. The disparity in the
value OF shoes made to sell and those made to wear
will be greater hereafter than it is at present, il these
hints receive the attention they deserve.

Columbia Rirer.--The following is extracted
from manuscript furnised the editor OF the New
puryport Heard by Capt frederick Cummerlord'
who made voyage to the Columbia River IN 1871.
The seasons here are very regular The summer
is usually pleasant, wi little or no rain Through
out the winter it rains greater part OF the time.
Between September and March, the prevailing wind
us from the west, which renders the river, Tor the
most part Of that time, almost inaccessible.
The residents have it in their power to live very
comfortable Game oil all kinds is in abundance
as are fish, consisting particularly OF the sturgeon
and salmon. The salmon are peculiarly important
and are entirely superior to those obtained at the
no,thward
To the North West Company, the Post on the
Columbia river IS 0! great consequence. All the
supplies for their extensive chain OF Posts, weaI o
the Rocky Mountain, a. brought into the place,
and from it aie exported all the collections from
them.
From every description OF the river in my power
to obtain am led to believe that II is navgable Tor
vessels OF 500 tons as high as Vaneouyer's Point
about 80 miles from the mouth
Ftom my personal observations, should Judge
that the most practicable and expedent place TO
form settlement, would be Bay which is
formed by curve Of the Bank above Tongue Point.
In his Bay vessel may lie in E and lO lahoms oil
water. without being exposed to the tide OF the heavy
westerly winds.

THE GOVERNORS SPEECH


Our readers will not regret that we have
occupied so much space in this days paper
with the Governors Speech, to the exclusion
OF other matter. Such documents are at all
times interesting, but the present is peculiarly
so, Tor the Importance of the subjects of which
1t treats, and for the enlarged views which it
develops. To the people of this County it has
AN additional recommendation, in the circum-
stance OF its emanating from the first of their
fellow-citizens who has been advanced to the
dignity of Governor of the Commonwealth.
The friends of Gov. Lincoln have not been
disappointed in the belief that it would be his
intention, in the discharge of his official du-
Ties, to merge the partizan in the magistrate.
and to consult the good of the whcle rather
than of part. The following short extract
from the Speech, while i: shows the Just
principles which he entertains, contains q
merlted rcbuke Of the narrowness of the Le-
gislatufe, who, in the official act which they
had just performed, of appointing the Cover
nor's Council, had gone so counter to the
principles here laid down, and have been
governed entirely by party views in making
their selection, to the exclusion, in some in.
stances, of ADLER and better men, who wee in
nomination.. He says
The circumstances which have attended
the late elections are such as to constitute the
strongest pledges to fidelity, in regarding the
feelings and sentiments of our constituents
The causes of former jealousies and divisions
having been removed, or ceased to operate.
the spirit of party has yielded to that of per.
sonal Cancellation and confidence. The union
which is now manifest has resulted from a
conviction, that the honest and patriotic, of
all parties, have but common interest,
which is best to be promoted by concentra.
ton OF common efforts. Il practical confornai-
fy 10 The opinions, mltich hare been, di$tiuctlv
oppressed 6y The public suffrage, is tnaperatire.
ty required in the official measures of those vlo
are out agents IN The exercise Of delegated au.
horaty."
On the whole, the speech is one which is
creditable to the Governor. There is howev.
er, in some passages, a degree of obscurity in
the style, which, we think, ought always to
be avoided in documents, intended, like this,
for every class of readers, and in which every
citizen has direct personal interest.

PORT AU PRINCE. MAY 8.

10 the night of the 9Th and Gil, Of thi:
month, public tranquility was disturbed
at Port all Prince for a few hours
Some good women, under the influence
OF blind superstition, believing thai
the period had arrived, for the accom-
plishment of various predictions of their
astrological counsellors, about the end
OF the world, which the devil and his
agents were to effect by tremendous
earthquakes. The recent long drought,
and some days Of very hot weather,
unusually confirmed their creduliiy
At midnight, oficious persons went from
door to door, awakening every body and
crying out, {" arise light your candle
lose no time; every one is up" In an
instant, this odd invitation spread alarm
throughout the city; real panic seem
ed to seize not only the credulous. out
the most incredulous. Every body in
CURED what was the matter nobody
could tell, but all agreed that it would be
extremely imprudent to go back to bed.
Our police, always on the alert, soon
perceived what was passing, traversed
the city in every direction, and urged
the inhabitants TO go TO rest. Those
who were deaf to this request were az
rested by the patrols, aud led to prison"
