same General Jackson. At such a time
instead of proclaiming general jubilee, at
whose sound prison doors should open, and
the captlves be set free, he coolly and de-
IlDerately issues his mandate for the igno-
mlnious punishment of hundreds of his fell
low cltlzens-without remorse orders six
poor victims to be brought to death for no
other CRIME than an imputed misconcep-
tlon OF their rights as American citizens.
We say imputed, for recurrence to the
laws will show that these men did not mis-
cOncelUe their rights.
The law of 1895 limits the tour of mill
TIA duty to period of three months. The
law OF the 10th April, 1912, by which the
term OF service was limited to sir months,
expired by its own provisions on the 10th
.dP'1L, 1914. The men in question were
detailed for duty after the expiration of this
tar, namely, in May, 1914. Every subse-
quent draft could be held to serve only for
three months, unless, undor tho provisions
OF law passed on the 18th of April, 1914,
the President fhe United States should er-
preSSty order continuance of the term:
and such an order in the present case is not
even pretended. On the contrary, it is on
record, that the President of the United
States expressly directed Governor Blount
to consider his draft of militia as called out
under the lGio Of 1895, and gives, as his rea-
son for SO doing, his reliance on the patri-
otlsm of the citizens of Tennessee, to fill
up the ranks as occasion might require
Thus it appears that SIR unhappy men
were doomed to death, and nearly two hun
dred others condemned to suffer ignomin-
ious punishment, not only against the plain
est dictates Of mercy, but in direct viola
ton of the law"

EGYPTIAN CEMENT

powers to surpass any thing of the kind
had ever before seen used the stone itself
yielding to the stroke of hammer, while
the cemented part remained entire; then
let 1t remain under water for several DAYS,
and yet found the cement quite firm, and
placing it near the fire found the heat
only served to harden it, and what adds to
its value is, it gives not the least coloring
to the stone.
have applied it to wood Of different
Kinds, and to glass and crockery- ware,
and 1t appeared to possess the same
strength as on the marble.
l understand that it contains many of
the properties of similar article, ancient
iy used by the Egyptians, and derives its
name from belief that it contains one or
more OF the principal Ingredients used b.
them, so noted for its durability and power
OF resisting both heat and water.

/ that any human invention could so ahridoe

from the cotton. The populace las is usual
in such cases) believed the ingenious in
ventor to have employed, not the meChani-
cal, but the black art. The fever of feel
ing rose so high, that the building in
which the MACHINE was kept was broken
open by the mob, and the machine itself
carried off.
Mr.. Whitney took out patent for his
invention, but it was speedily, and, in the
end, ruinously to him, evaded. The sum
of fifty thousand dollars, literally granted
him by one of the cotton growing States,
was expended-and more-in defending
the lawsuits brought against those who
had pirated the invention. In the result.
MIR. Whitney settled down in New Eng
land, individually poorer for the invention
of machine, which has increased tho
annual product of labor in the cotton
growing States, by nearly the whole
amount of the short staple cotton now
raised.
1t was with the introduction of this ma
chine, that cotton began to be looked to as
an article of expectation. Hence the op-
position in the Senate of the United
States, to the ratification of the twelfth ar
ticle of jays treaty.

illustration more instructive, than that

other, by the various branches of industry.

genius. The poor Massachusetts youth,
who went to the Southern States with no
fortune but his mechanical genius, left
there an invention, to which they owe

the death of his wife, and the future wei

field for exertion. He knew that his mich
loved son was soon to be left in this mer-

for support and he felt the imperious call
of duty to see him settled III life, if posi-

A marriage had lately been agreed upon

tract drawn up, and tho fatal geS was alone
wanting. On the day when the sacrament
al rlonosyllable was to have been pre-
nounced, it was found that the bridegroom
had withdrawn from the happy state which
awaited him upon which the father ilnme-
diately proposed to substitute in his place
another son living in the city. The young
ladys family not having any objection to
the arrangement, the young man was sent
for, and new contract drawn up, in which
the only alteration consisted in the substi-

contract drawn up, and this extemporane-

NEATNESS AND TASTE.

hands Sermon, entitled " The Excellence and H.
fuence Of the Female Character = b, GARDNER
SrANG, Pastor Of the Brick Prcsb, terian Church in
New-iork This sermon is " far the best article
OF the Kind that we have erseen.-It contains ma.
ny OF the finest drawn traits of female characters and
is full of valuable hints and instructions, which if
properly attended to, are calculated, emnently to
exalt females IN the scale of being. The following
beautiful extract on the subject of neatness and
taste, IS peculiarly appropriate. -[ Yankee.
"A Christian woman ought to be distinguish
able by her simplicity, her neatness, her econo
my, her healthful and becoming attire, but ne
yer by her stiffness and precision Nor does
the gospel prescribe all ornament in the article
| OF clothing 1t does, indeed, prohibit that pro
fusion OF ornament which consists in a studied
! display Of personal decorations and costly ar
ray. But no where does it interdict that decent
regard to external appearance, which gives re
! spectabllity to the female character woman
without responsibility is without influence; and
without influence she is without the power of
/ DONG good. Nor do hesitate to say, that it is
no part of the religion Of the gospel for female
to be very scrupulous in avoiding the common
modes Of apparel believe there is much more
anxiety, and much more attention to dress and
much more sin in studiousy avoiding them, than
in naturally falling in with them Fashions,
which characterize gay and worldly circle, a
Christian woman will avoid. But how ridicu-
/ lous would She appear, to disregard the spirit
OF the age, and cleave to the habiliments of her
ancestors, while the prevalent modes Of dress
among persons Of her own class, are not ncon-
sistent with modesty and decorum And let it
not be forgotten. that there is no intrinsic evil
in mere dress of any kind. SO long as the heart
IS not corrupted, nor the best interests of men
injured by the garments they wear, they are Of
little account in the sight of God And is there
no reason to believe that vanity may insnuate
itself into the mind from the love of pIainness
and snguarlty9 Do we not all know enough
! Of human nature to be satisfied, that woman
who is habitually well dressed, thinks less of
her apparel than the woman who is well dress
ed only occasionally, and whose thoughts are
necessarily occupied about the dress of her
neighbours? An Indian may be as vain of her
| blanket. and Quaker Of her bonnet and cap,
| as coxcomb is Of the newest fashion, or cour-
tier Of his splendid retinue And what would
become of the interests Of society," if you pro-
scribe all the ornaments and conveniences of
| dress? To what untold mutitudes do these give
useful employment? How large portion of the
church of God do they elevate above want and
suffering? How many benevolent institutions
