The MANUFACTURE OF SILK.-We have
had occasion heretofore TO speak of the
success with which the power loom had
been applied by Mr.. Gray, TO the weaving
of Silk. But tho only experiments which
had then been made, had been made upon
an old and very awkwardly constructed
cotton loom. Within the last three weeks,
one oi the new looms with Improvements
by Mr.. Gray, adapted To the manufacture
Of silk, has been put in operation upon u
piece Of fine white Pongce Handkerchiels,
three quarters wide. This loom has put at
rest all doubt that might before have been
entertained in relation 10 the praclcabiIity
Of weaving silk in this manner. We have
several times made the observation, by
marking the piece with pencil, ard the
loom HIS woven an inch and a half of this
fabric in one minute. Others have at dit.
lerent times witnessed the operation of the
loom, and their observation Of the result
has been precisely the same. The speed
is regulated a. one hundred and forty strokes
of the lathe per minute, aud the fIhrlc whlcl

INDIAN STREAM.

Tie last New Hampshire Statesman
contains some intelligence respecting the
difficulties existing il this settlement. Il
states that the Commissioners had laid oul
the Kings High way to Connecticut river,
and would have continued it further, bur
were interrupted by the guard, and that
when they left, they intimated that they
tect them and continue their labors, to the
point which they had fixed al the 45lh de-
gree of North lalitude.-And this line, il
may be well to mention, takes about one
mile in width from the whole northern tier

A slip from the Office Of The Charleston
Courier, gives accounts from ST. Augustine
to the 81 inst, which state that a company
OF mounted men arrived there on that day
from Picolala, bringing dispatches from
that place and also from Gen. Clinch.
According To the best opinions, the main
body Of Indians are concentrating their for

THADDEUS STEVENS.

This Stevens is very wonderful man
certainly. He is perfectly reckless Of pop

highest station. Now, he is battling again
against masonry, "lhe curse oflhe country,
ana Of all free government" as lie calls it,
and from the camor against him by ma

Frustrated. He is man Of that indomiIa-

PerilS of Sea, forling A father and two
sons were out together, and, having firmly
attached their rope al the summit OF pre-
cipice, descended on their usual occupation.
Having collected as many birds AMI eggs
as they could carry, they were all three as

first, his brother latham or two below

slranls OF the rope grinding aga inst u sharp
edge Of rock, and gradually giving way.

The LATE JomN RANDoLPH.-In Mr.. B
w. Leigh's examination US witness in the
Randolph will case, lore the General Court.
we notice the following evidence:
Questioned as to Mr.. RS attachment to a
young lady who was married about 1906;
says he thinks the lady's marriage took place
in 1907. Witness thinks Mr.. RS attachment
TO her was very enduring one. Should not
say the effect upon his feelings was very OBJ
vious, but it had n strong impression upon
him. 1t was well known to witness that be
had been attached to her, and that he felt tho
disappointment deeply; but he never attr'bu-
ted the defeat of his matrimonial conncXion
TO the intrigues of others. He had said that,
if he and the lady bad been left quite alone
he believed their union would not have been
prevented. There were interferences, he
said, neither intended to break off the match,
nor to urge it on, which had an inauspic ious
effect. lie never spoke disrespectfuly of
the Iady's relations, and one Of them Major
Eygleston) he always mentioned with respect
and kindness. Major F.. was one Of the per-
sons of whom he always spoke kindly. He
did not ascribe his disappointment to the IN
reference Of his own relations. Witness IS
sure he did not attribute it TO the relative I o
whom he has heard others ascribe 1t. Wit
ness thought the attachment strong ono;
that Mr.. r. retained it after the lady's marri-
age and dwelt upon IT more than ne should
have done. Mr.. X. spoke often to witness on
the subject; but witness never said any thing
in relation to II, as he thot 1t matter which
oucbt not to be talked about; has heard of his
speaking often upon the subject TO a number
Of persons. 4. Did Mr.. X. survive the lady?
