Ne,O Method Of Working Butter.-A
very useful and ingenious mode Of extract
ing whey from butler, was recently related
to me by a gentleman who had resided
many years in the grazing districts Of
France and he informed me that a simi-
lar apparatus is al present in successful
operation, near by here. in this Stale, al
though | have not yet seen it. He descri-
bed il in manner that could not fail 10 be
understood by any farmer in The Union.
The machine, he represented as made OF
wood, in form not much unlike a grind.
stone, closely fitted into trough. leaving
a space between the stone and bottom of
the trough mol exceeding q sixteenth Of an
inch in thickness. The trough is first
filled with clean water saturated with
salt, one end of which is crowded full of
the newly -churned butter. Then The stone
is put in motion by means of The crank or
otherwise, aud the butter is drawn beneath
il, and comes out at the other end Of the
trough in thin sheets, not more than one
sixteenth OF an inch in thickness, almost
entirely freed from The whey, and for COM
mou use requires no further sailing. The
brine thus prepared. has another very i'm.
portant office to perform. II imbibes, by
chemical affinity, all the whey with which
it comes in contact, and leaves the butter
by itself.
Although this apparatus is extremely
rude and simple, tits obvious TO an ingeni-
Gus mechanic, how easily such machine
could be improved upon, and answer n
leufold purpose.-Co'respondence Ameri-

COL. POLK'S BRAVERY.

''We cannot see how the original supporters

To which his sapient 'Coonship, the

replies:
I'VE cannot see how any man WHO supper
ted Old Hickory on account Of of his brarelY
and courage. can support young Hickory"
who allowed Henry A. Wise to pull his nose
and insult him with IMMUNITY while in Con
gress."
A more wonton falsehood never was
uttered. When did the then Wing
bully and BLACKBOARD, Henry Il. Wise,
pull Mr.. Folks nose? Was it when
Peyton, Wise, and another of their
comrades, assaulted him, armed with
pistols, in the House ofRepresentatives'

can refers to this circumstances cir

nation, reflected immortal honor on
the unassuming, virtuous Polk, and
eternal disgrace upon the Wing ruff
ans and duelists who assaulted him.
he Mr.. Polk being totally unarmed
and in a perfectly defenceless situation.
And one his brace assailants, Bale
Peyton, who considered himself ag-
grieved by Mr.. Folks course as speak
er Of the House, subsequently declared
that, had Mr.. Polk even raised his
hand, OF placed himself in an attitude Of
defence, he (Peyton) would have "shct
him down like dog" We have it
from the best authority, that Mr.. Wise
nor either of his brace abettors, offer
ed any violence to Col Polk, as he
passed them by, in the Hall, in silent
contempt. Such are the facts in the
case. The man who edits the Repub-
lican thinks the act of these wing bull
lies and duelliSts was one that displayed
the most noble braceyy; and that Mr..
Folks conduct in refusing to fight, IN
armed, three men armed aoih pistols,
showed him to be coacayd Of the first
water!l Such are his ideas of what
constitutes brave or cowardly man.
We admire The moral courage of that
man, who, like Mr.. Polk, could main
tain the dignity of the high station he
filed, and preserve the honor ofthe ma
ton from the ruffian.like assassination
of set Of unprincipled men, in whose
hearts was not to be found one scntil-
iation oftrue moral courage.
For his noble conduct on the occa-
sion referred TO, Mr.. Polk will receive
the almost unanimous support, of those
eswho supported cold Hickory on
account of his brauery and courage. -
