Rstrenchment.- This word has become "sound
of fear'' to "ths'' s'great Republican party"
Amidst the increase Of clerks, increase OF out
fits, increase of salaries. and general increase in
the appropriations called for BY the government,
they stand perfectly aghast whenever it is utter
ed. Retrenchment!-O! Sword once delight
full" to every Jackson ear, now as dismal and
ominous to the same ears as the croakings Of a
night raven. Recently in a debate on the Mis-
sion to France,
MIR. McDufie recalled the recollection Of the
gentleman from Kentucky, mir. WickIife) who
had occupied very honorable place in celebrat.
ed ComDittee Of Retrenchnent, to the views
given in report Of that committee. The popu-
lar doctrine then held the doctrine, said Mr..
Mcn., on which zoe came into power was that
the secret service fund was an anomaly in re-
publican Government; an excrescence on the
system which ought to be cut out-that there
ought to be no secrets IN a republican government,
and no fund which President Of the United
States might control without responsibility. and,
if he remembered right, bill had been threaten
ed, to abolish the fund altogether. Mr.. Med
had not entirely concurred in the doctrines held
at that day; he had been much inclined, at the
time, to believe that it was all hoax; and he
had since that day been called TO witness spec
tacle from which not little profit might be
drawn by those who were capable of prohting by
experience. His experience had convinced him
Of this general truth; that unless men are very
firmly fixed indeed in principle. the most extra
pagan of all administrations must necessarily
be that one tshich comes into poUcr on professions
of refrUichment.
Mr.. Med. said he was now . retrenchment
man, but he foundthat the principal practical ad
vocates Of retrenchment consisted OF very small
fragment of that party which came into power in
1899. He and his companions had been con-
tending for retrenchment, against gentlemen who
we re in favor of liberal expenditures. Long ha-
bit, as well as principle had confirmed those gen.
tlemen in their views, and it was not to be ex-
pected that the mou ent the new administration
came into power, they should suddenly, and all
at once, change the views and habits OF many
years. The administration, therefore, found
none to oppose it. 1t was the case Of two men
who had been standing shoulder to shoulder, and
pressing in opposite directions. The instant
one cave way, both would Of course fall In the
same direction. And he was convinced, that
unless strenuous efforts should be made to cur
tail the public expenditure, it anst 90 On to IN

The saw and chopping mills Of John Mcfher-
son ESQ. near Frederick, were destroyed by flre
on Friday morning. The friction of the mach.
merry, the oiling of which had been neglected. IS
supposed to have occasioned the accident. The
loss is about $4,000.
Three men, Ferraoho. Jocito Fernandez, and
r. Surco. were hung in New Orleans on the Esd

1.-Two Of the criminals aacended the platform
with firm steps and resigned countenances. -
They appeared to be, to use the eloquent Ian
guage of Eugene Aram, equal to any tate. A
proof more cogent than thousands OF other argu'
ments, that the face is not always the lntallioie
index of the purity Of the mind. The other pri'
soner's energy was not equal to the task OF iml-
"a ting the Hardness of his comrades; he ap-
peared weak and detected. and was carried al
most ifeless to the gallows."
Accounts from Pottsville penn. of May 9Th,
state that the brand of thelncendiary had been
dexterously welded at Port Carbon. The proper
ty marked out for destruction, consisted OF SIX
valuable buildings totally DESTROYED, exclusive OF
FIVE additional houses; seton fre IN dlherent paris

by the timely exertions Of the citiz ems from the

Of emigrating TO the Western district of

10 overtake in day or two his Wagon
and Negroes which he had sent on, the
Friday previous. In this he failed, hav-
ing at the fork ofthe Swift run gap road
taken the branch leading to Port Re-
public. whilst the driver OF his Wagon
took the other, leading to Harrisonburg
After remaining at Nicholes's tavern in
the county OF Rockingham about two
weeks, and finding he was not overtak-
en- by said Conner, the waggoner gave
information of the circumstance to his
relations, one Of whom immediately
went over and removed his property
back to this county. Since he left Ma
Olson courthouse. said Conner has not
been heard of, except once, and the in
formation then was vague and inconclu-
sive.-His friends are therefore left in a
state Of entire doubt and uncertainty as
TO the route he has taken, or where he
now is, although the information above
alluded to represented him to be within
20 miles of the Warm Springs. Said
Conner is man about 30 years OF age,
low stature, thick black curling hair,
with short black whiskers. He rode
when he left this place, light bay stall
lion with white face, called Dover;
was dressed in coatee Of blue cassinett
much worn, fur cap, dark pantaloons, Of
meterial not recollected. In his man
ners he is easy and frank in his address
open and unreserved. His ignorance of
the fate of his property is considered the
cause which has thus hurried him be-
yond the reach of intelligence and such
is the anxiety ofhis relations and friends,
to know what has befallen him that any
information obtained Of him, and com
nunicated by letter, addressed to 4. Tur-
ner esq. p. M. Woodville, will be
thankfully received, and ever remember

{ PRESSING BRICKS.

THE subscriber would inform the
Bricklayers of the counties of Augusta g.
Rockbridge, that he has purchased the
patent right of Thos. A. Tricks improved
Brick-Press, in and for the aforesaid
counties of Augusta and Rockbridge.
AS respects the principles ofthe above
mentioned machine, the subscriber ma keS
no hesitation iii affirming them to be ee
nuine.
The most material principle is that it
consists of double mole, by means of
which one brick is hoisted to the top of
the mole at the same time the opposite
IS pressing; which renders it speedy o.
Peration. There can be from six TO 5000
bricks pressed in a day with it, to per
lection, if properly attended. The pow
er OF the machine is remarkable accor-
dag to the patentee's calculation a mai
weighing loO lbs. applying his weight
to the extreme end of the levre eleven
teet long, will cause the pressure upon
the brick to be equal 10 Is, 900 lbs.-the
half Of which is sufficient to press a brick
to perfection.
The subscriber will vend rights to
those who are disposed TO purchase,
upon the lowest terms. He will al
so be able to furnish certificates Of
the satisfactory performance Of the a.
boye machine. For rights, apply to the
subscriber, living three miles North Of
Middlebrook, Augusta county, who will
also furnish model Of the machine.
