EMOLlENTS.

We perceive, by the Philadelphia papers
that the ladies of that city are raising fund tc
present Mr. Clay with service of silver, which
is TO cost several thousand dollars; and "a pro,
position has also been started 10 raise fund, by
subscription, to purchase Mount Vernon the
home of Washington, which is offered for sale
to be presented TO Mr. Clay as a sign of regard
which shall have some relation to the depths and
extent of the feeling entertained by the donors .
Aud in Providence, Rhode Island, it is proposed
to procure by subscription full length portrait
OF Mr.. Clay, TO hang in the Senate Chamber by
the side of Stuau's Washington, or in some
other public place while elsewhere, some of
his friends are anxious for his statue in marble
the expenses of its procuration TO be paid by
TWO shilling subscriptions.
All this, however, will not eHectually soften
the asperily Of Mr.. Clay's disappointment =
for, after looking, "lo these many years" to
the gift (more precious than ally of the Presi-
dency, he has "seen his iondest hopes decay. -
The "service of silver' will be of ulc service
TO him-Mount Vernon is in too near proxirnitv
to the White House for an agreeable residence
and as TO the portrait and the statue, his friend,
evlnce a satisfaction truly commendable-to be
satisfied with the shddolo since they failed tc
secure the substance itself

GOV. POLK AT HOME.

The Nashville Union, replying 10 The Hammer on
the subject of the vote for MIR Polk IN his own town
Columbia, ssyss--
Ii is true that majority Of votes were given tor
Henry Clay ia Columba, but il Is not true that they
we're given bs the citizens Of that town; for the do
feat Of Gov Polk in his precinct being one of
the highest points OF wing ambition, hundreds OF their
party induced 10 go Ia from adjacent precincts
Tor this ingorious purpose. II Is, therefore, ev-
dence Of lack OF aeighborhood popularity. On the
contrary, il is the best possible evidence that but for
this incoming of wing voters IRON other precincts
CIV. Polk would have had decided majority in the
country seat where he resides.
SO with the Hermitage precinct IL has been the
practice of the personal and political friends OF Messrs
Bell, Foster, CO., for years TO 80 from Nashville
and other precincts OF thus county TO the Hermitage
poll on the morning OF the election, aud there east
their votes The objeef is seif-eyidept Ii is TO give
forth 10 country aud the world, false Impression
an impression that majority of Gen. Jacksons
own neghbors are not friendly 10 him. Contempti-
BILE il is, those who are IN the habit OF II, openly
boast of their conduct at the corners Of the streets
and their presses in this case controlled by intel
lects nebrialed with the Jistment OF malice and
venge, give voice to the false impression and exut
over il.
To all the qualification which this labor and pains
to wrong and misrepresent the great and good old
man of the Hermitage afford these disappointed re-
vengefu and malicious partisan leaders, they are
more than welcome. In the language OF other days
II is wasting ammunition against bomb proof bat
teyh
But the SANDER OF Gov. Folks home reputation be-
comes still grosser ia view of the fact that Maury
county, where he has resided from boyhood, and
where he still resides gave him majority of nsory
hundred rotes and the Congressional District
which he long represented, composed of lincoln,
Giles, Maury, Bedford, and the counties Of Mar
shall and Coffee gape him majority Of nearly thirty
eight hundred.

New WAY OF MANUFACTURING P.tsr-Tbe
following (says the Pensacola Gazette) was related
to us by person who was formerly carpenter in
the U. $. Navy:
During cruise in the South Pacific we we Mt
into the harbor Of Coqulmbo and as the ship had been
out long time, she was covered with rust from siem
to stern. IL was the anxious wish of the commando
that she should be restored to her pristine colors but
on examining the store-room, twas ascertained that
there was not pound Of white lead in the shin in
this emergency bethought me of an expedient which
concocied an admirable substitute composed of the
following ingredients.
"Air-siacked lime, pulverized until il was OF the
consistency of -four which was then passed through
sieve
"hice boiled in large kettle until the substance
was drawn entirely out of the grain the water then
oil plasuc nature, was strained to .eparats the
gram, &c, and clear the liquid. tub about the
SIZE OF half-barrel, Of the prepared lime and
roe-water was mixed with a gallon of Iinseed
OIL, and the material had so much the appearance of
paint that novice could not have told the differ
encc.
"The ship was painted outside and inboard with
the above mixture (Which cost next 10 pothoel and
never presented finer white streak on her ends or
cleaner buiwarks and bertb-icck than ON thai occ,
sion, and no other kind OF white paint wa. used dn
ring the remainder Of the cruise"

Cumous.--A party of gentlemen one day this
week, discovered on an island the Usage about 10
miles above this place, two three old gun barrels
lying upon or near he surface of the ground Upon
digging, they found within three feet abuu, forty gun
barrels some sixty hoes, and thirty forty axes and
some few gun locks, together with other implements
supposed to be used for mining, all nearly eaten up
with rust
II Is said that about forty years ago, company Of
Spaniards assembled the Usage river for the purpose
OF mining and tradng-that they were interrupted
by party of Indians and compelled to retreat, after
hastily burying their Implements stores, and what
ever OF value they had with them, that they were
pursued, and most Of the company killed. The lead
er OF the expedition escaped and afterwards died or
was killed at Lou're Island leaving among his papers
journal of his mining expedition on the Osage--
and this recent discovery is supposed to be stores
buried on the occasion referred 10. There is some
thing said about three sacks made Of deer's hides
hl'ed with dollars, being buried the same time and
