POETRY.

From the Boston Morning Post
KNOW YE NOT THAT YE ARE MEN.
Know ye not that ye are men,
Yelaboring throngs of earth'
Must ye be told and told again
That Truth and Toll are worth,
Why do you look upon the ground.
No fire within the eye,
When noble born are all around,
And Wealth and Rank 60 by'
For, have ye not heart within,
And dsense and soul as tliey'
And more-have ye not toiled to win
The bread ye eat to-day!
Do ye despise your sunburnt hands
So hard and brown with toll;
That have made fair the forest lands,
And turned the forest soil?
What! do you fear the naughty gaze
OF inrich array!
sTis said, Pride hath not many days,
And Riches fly away.
Up, heart and hand. and persevere,
And overcome the scorn-
The naughty hate and heaftless sneer
Ofthis worlds gentle-born!
Fear not-shrink MOTTO you is given
The guardianship of Earth;
And on the record book OF Heaven
Is writ your honest worth!
Honor yourselves! be honest, true,
And willing, firm, and strong;
Do well whate'er your hands may do,
Though praise may linger long!
A high and holy work is yours,
And yours should be fame
That lives for ages, and endures
Beyond the hero's name!
Go, with your hands upon the plough,
And the plough beneath the sod;
Pity the heart that scorns, and bow
To nothing but your God!

AN Address
TO THE ELECTORS OF OHIO,
The a\ition Of 1S25 :

Henry Clays bargain uith JOHN Quincy Adams,
through tol,ich fhe latter in defiance of the tciH
of the people, soas made President Of the Uni
ted States, and the former cOrvupfiy secured to
himself the office Of SecretGy Of State

TRIAL COMMITTEE OF OHIO.
"The coalition Of Bli6l and Black George-the
combination unheard of till then Of the puritan
with the blackleg John Randolph
TO THE FREEyMEN OF OHIO.
FELLow-CITIzENs:
Henry Clay is once again candidate for the
high Office of Chief Magistrate of this glorious
Union. Twenty years have now elapsed since he
was first an unsuccessful candidate for this same
Office, and his repeated defeats and disappointments
render it sufficiently evident, that with the mass
of the American people, his general unfitness Tor
that station is no new theme. But that act of his
life which has been rightly considered of darker
hue and a more damning character than any other,
is one to which we may justly call your especial
attention. 1t belongs to an era since which an
entire generation has passed from the stage OF
human action; and though the career Of its author
had otherwise been "without spot or blemish," it
should Of itsclf suffice forever to debar him from
the exalted place to which he aspires.
In entering upon detailed exposition of that
foul transaction, we do but avail ourselves OF a
right that belongs to all American citizens-the
right freely to discuss the character and qualfica-
tions Of every man who asks US ior our votes. We
shall endeavor to give its history with perfect
fairness and candor. We have ever been taught,
and we most sincerely believe, that no fdfsehood
can be of any use in free discussion before afree
people. If we should err in single statement,
the error win not only be unintenonal but it must
occur in spite of our most anxious precaution.-
All important facts shall be stated with the utmost
particularly. We win give names, times and
places, and all our quotations shall be from the
most authentic sources. We desire, fellow citi-
gems, to lay nothing before you which will not
safely bear your severest scrutiny, May we not,
therefore, fairly solicit, and confidently expect,
the candid attention Of every honest man into
whose hands this address may fall, no matter what
may have been his previous political biasi
sse # THE CHARGE. es1
The charge against Mr.. Clay, in the investiga-
ton Of which we now wish you to join, is briefly
this:
That he, while the election for President was
before the house Of representatives, in the winter
Of ls24-5, being Representative from Kentucky
and Speaker of the House. entered into corrupt
.coAlition with John Quincy Adams, man to whom

Geneva, an incorporated village
in Walworth county, is situated on
section Sc in township 2 north, and
range II east, on The north bank and
near the outlet Of Geneva lake. The
site of this charming village was hap
py selection commanding as it does, a
prospect of one of the most picturesque
landscape sceneries in the West; and
surrounded by truly delightful, high
ly cultivated fertile, healthy and well
watered country.
The settlement Of this place was COM
menced by Mr. Christopher Payne, in
March, 1886; but owing to some diff
Guilty arising between that gentleman
and some OF the surveyors, very little
was done until 1888, when the present
Touring mill (said to be the first built
in the territory was erected
The water power here is improved
by dam which has been erected a
cross the creek through which the lake
has its outlet and thus raising the wa
ter Of the lake about four feet. The
water is taken from the lake through
canal into which the whole stream
can be turned and used for propeiIing
machinery. Below the mills the creek
IS rapid and the water may he used by
erecting dams one or two miles apart,
for the distance of several miles

LATER rRoE TEXAS. copy the
following from the New Orleans Plea
yune Of The l4th inst.
BY the arrival OF the steamship Nep-
tune, we have papers from Galveston
10 the 10th inst.
The bill which was passed by the
House of Representatives, ordering
the heads Of departments to Austin,
was defeated in the Senate on its first
reading.
Mr. Thomas Bryson, died a few
days since, at Mr.. Stevenson's, ncUr
Washington, while on his way TO the
latter place with dispatches from Gal
weston.
In answer TO a call made upon Pres.
ident Houston by The House of Repre-
seniatives for information, SC. he sent
n message on the LIST inst. declining to
comply with the requisition. Gen.
Houston had previously been called
upon for correspondence by both
Houses. He the offered to submit ev-
erything TO the Senate with closed
doors. lie now offers to allow the
Speaker OF the House and members Of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs to-
examine all the Correspondence OF the
Executive with Foreign Powers
The Senate having adopted resolu-
tons requesting the President TO recall
Charles II. Raymond, Esq, bearer of
dispatches 10 the United States Gov
ernment, he promptly refused.
The following extract we make from
the Galveston Star, OF a late date:
COMMISSIONER TO MExrco.-Mr.
Lindsay, who lately arrived at Wash
ing,on from Bexar, reported tina, sew
eral traders from the Rio Grande in
formed him that it was currently re-
ported in Mexico that the negotiations
between our Commissioners and those
Of Mexico had broken oil, and that the
object OF the mission had entirely fail
ed. There is probability that this is
correct, for it is confirmed in part by
another report received by way Of Cor
pus Christi from Ma,amoras.
The Editor of the Houston Tele-
graph has received the following in
telligence from Bexar, tho trade of
which city is represented as very dull:
IA few traders have arrived from
the Rio Grandc within the last six or
eight weeks, but they brought only a
few hundred dollars to purchase goods
They eonfrmed the report circulated
few weeks since, that Agaton, the
bandit who has long been a terror TO
the border settlers, was killed about
three months since, while in pursuit
OF a party of traders"
The Texan Democrat announces
the arrival in the country of General
Mercer, distinguished citizen of Nir-
ginia. Gen. Mercer is concerned in
some 0f the recent contracts for coloni-
zation in Texas, proposes to visit Ger
many so soon as he concludes the bust
ness which at present occupies him,

the Interests Of the company.

Sailing INFLUENTIAL very
simple instrument has been invented in
England, for sailing meet, by the use
of which the entire curing process
can be effected in less than ten minutes,
the brine being previously prepared.
II is somewhat similar in appearance
TO a syringe. and acts upon a similar
principle, the brine being forced to
penetrate through every fibre OF the
meat subjected TO the action Of the in
s;rumcnt. A much smaller quantity
of pickle isthus required than by the
ordinary process, and the result is
much more complete. The nutritious
properties ofthc meat are also said to
be preserved more fully by this than
by any other process known.

The DHcGINGs.-There are at present ..
bout four hundred miners engaged a, Potosi.
Pigeon and Beeown in this County. These
diggings are severally doing very we'll. much
better. notwithstanding the very unfavorablo
character of the fall and even of December,
than they were twelve months ago. This
may be somewhat. attributable 10 the capricss
offor,une-for certainly there is a ute enough
of chance connected with this species ofbus.

CoAL.-Some of the coal beds in
England are worked to the depth Of
one thousand feet. In the United
States there is no occasion to work an
ihracite to to a great depth, as il is ell
evated, and the beds are extensive
The annual amount of coal consumed
in Great Britain is estimated at 2S,-
SIS, 900 tons, giving employment to
100000 persons. There were raised
of anthracite in the United States in
1910, S5o,926 tons: of bitumeneous
coal, $685. lis bushels. The number
Of persons employed in raising the an
thracitc was 3,0i3: capital invested,
S4,450,lla From the foreign slatis-
ties it appears, that the anthracite Of
this country is raised with twice the
facility of that with which the coal of
England is raised.

Best SuGAR.-The discovery OF
sugar in the beet was made in Prussia
so long ago as i447. The soil of the
United States is said TO be peculiarly
well adapted TO The production of this
saccharine Vegetable, the sugar from
which is made in the following man
ner, according to Chaplin:
The process is by first cutting of
the rootlet,s and necks, washing, rasp-
ing and pressing. The juice is put in
TO copper boiler and mixed with one
i0Oth part of sulphuric acid. and lime
to sa,urate the acid. a brisk heat -
applied, when thick greenish froth
forms, and the juice, of a yellow cast,
becomes clarified. The scum is re-
moved in an hour or two, and the
juice let of by stop cock, little a.
bove the bottom, and transferred 10
boiler and evapora,ed. At a certain
density animal charcoal, in the proper
ton Of 10 100 ofjuiee, is added in
powder, and afterwards the frolh is
removed. and the syrup is filtered
through wooilcn cloths and cooled
Sulpha,e oflime is added in few
hours which is carefully removed be-
fore boiling for chrys,ahza;iou.-
Otherwise the process is the same as
cane sugar.
