Patent Tanning Machine

IL The great saving of time and labor effected by
this machine renders II one Of the most valuable OF
modern inventions, heing Of the utmost importance
to those already engaged in the manufacture Of eath
er, besides offering the greatest inducements to 9TH
ers for starting the business.
BY this machine, which in its operation strictly
follows the p inciples Of the old way all kinds Of
hides and skins may be tanned, not only so as to
produce a superior article Of leather, but with sa-
wing Of seventyhve per cent. in time and fifty per
cent. in labor, besides great economy in bark or
tanning material.
A tannery in which the improved method was
adopted, would, by its savings alone, be attended
with large profits, whist a neighboring one where
the old plan was pursued would be losing money
The invention, which has been awarded gold
medal by the American Institute, as being the most
valuable improvement ever introduced into this
branch Of manufactures, has given the highest salts
faction in the different States IN which IL is in USE
In the opinion of practical men who have adopted
the Improvement, at the cost of about FIVE hundred
dollars an establishment can be started which will
tan two thousand sides of sole leather, four thou
sand calf skins per annum at fifty per cent less than
the usual expense of manufacture. Where greater
amount of business is required TO be done, add-
tlonaI outlay Of course, will be necessary. BY this
machine sole leather can be thoroughly tanned in
twenty to thirty days, upper leather IN two weeks,
and cafskins in from three to seven days. The
subscribers offer for sale single and county rights
for the above, and will afford the most liberal faci-
ties to those purchasing State rights for the purpose
Of reselling counties or individuals. A neat mod
Ell Of the machine, showing its action and consruc-
ton will, if required, be furnished gratis all pur
chasers.
For further particulars, address (post pad) Bu-
chanan q Co, at the office of the Albion newspaper
New York.
One of these machines will be exhibited in opera
ton at the great national fair at Washington city
Persons at distance who may be unable to be
present at the fair, would do well to procure some
friend at Washington, to attend and examine for
them the great advantages of this improvement

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF OCCUPATION,

Corpus Christi, Texas, Sept Ia, Is45
SrR: | respectfully acknowledge the following
communications from the Secretary Of War One OF
August 49, conveying the instructions Of tho depart
ment in relation to the employment, Of volunteers
from the United States; Of August 90, enclosing
copies Of circulars to the governors Of Louisiana,
Alabama, and Misssspp and two Of August 30,
giving further instructions for my government and
enclosing copies Of instructions to Commodore Con-
ner, and Of letter of August % to Major General
Gaines; also, your communications Of August &c
and 30, enclosing copy Of the same letter to Gen.
Gaines, and desiring more frequent communications
from my headquarters. ....
now regret that suffered the interval between
July % and August Is to elapse without making
any report to your office; but | was necessarily oc-
cupied during that time in examining the country,
and afterwards in making an establishment at this
point, and could not have reported anything import
ant, of positive nature, until my arrival here.
Could have imagined the possibility Of such ex-
travagant rumors as prevailed in New Orleans and
above all, that they could gain credence in the pub
lie mind, when the same means Of communication
brought no report from me, would certainly have
apprized the department by every opportunity Of
our operations, unimportant as they might have
seemed. No intelligence worthy Of credit was re-
ceived from the Rio Grande until just before my
port of August Is, Since that date | have kept the
department advised at short intervals Of our situs-
ton and the news from the frontier. ... ..aa ...
In view OF the large endorsements OF regular
troops ordered to. join me- | cannot believe that
II will become necessary, under any circum-
stances, to employ volunteers from the United
States. In reply to my communication Of Aug 16 to
President Jones, a copy Of which was forwarded to
office, the President indicated few companies
Of rangers amounting m all 70 about three hundred
men, as proper to be mustered into service for the
protection OF the frontier. have accordingly given
orders for the muster Of one compsny Austin and
one at Bexsr. A company at this place, and one at
Goliad designated by the President and will be

mustered when their enrolment is completed Three
small detaehments, of thirty men each, are 10 b 9
considered in service, but cannot, from their posi-
ton, be conveniently mustered at present. IL will
be recollected that when addressed the President
Of Texas on this subject | could not anticipate the
transfer of dragons from Fort Washia; and al
though two OF the companies indicated above might,
perhaps, be dispensed with, | think IL best from
motives OF policy, to retain them for three months,
the term for which all 10 be mustered. You will
see from my Especial orders" No IA, that have
directed two Of the three companies from Red river
to San Antonio retaining one at Austin. With
company Of mounted rangers at each place, the
frontier will be secure from insult. The comman-
der Of the rangers al San Antonio Major Hays, has
reputation as partisan, and TO him have specially
lntrusted the duty Of keeping me advised of any
movements on the Rio Grande IN the neghborhood
OF Laredo with strict injunetions, however, 10 mo-
lest no Mexican establishments on this side Of the
river. Should San Antonio be seriously menaced,
IL can be readily succored from this point route

would at once put larger force in that town, but
for the difficulty sf supplying It,
An examination is now making by an officer OF
engineers Of the country in our front, chiefly TO Sc
lect suitnble sites for encampments, should il be-
come necessary TO winter in this neghborhood. The
great scarcity OF wood will render Il necessary
that case, TO change our position. RecoDnoisances
