A NEW SOURCE FOR SUPPLYING
BUTTER.
From the N. Y. Herald.


Butter was recently up to so cents pound
and those who were Oh lged to buy it will be
delighted 10 learn that The cows horns are
not the only source whence this necessary
article for the table is to be obtained. A
physician in New-York mentions in a COM
municatiol the result of some experiments,
in which. by the aid of analysis, butter was
found in a pure state. in grasses, seeds and
grain.-Out of 100 weight of Indian corn
meal, for instance, good chemist can extract
from s TO 10 pounds Of butter:

than cow can, as The COW must appropriate
a considerable share Of it for the uses and
necessities of her organization. Give COW
100 pounds Of hay, and she will render back
pounds OF butter, but an expert chemist can
realize ~ or I3 pounds out Of it,
The next time that butter reaches fifty
cents, we have no doubt that company will

GEN. TAYLoR's GOOD THINGS.
Eou the Nerc- York Commercial Adccrtise

From the -Aelc- OTk Commercial Adccrt'SeT.
If Gen. Taylor did not say the good things that
arc ascribed TO him, we mnst give the gentlemen
who have put them in his mouth credit for an adj
mirable perception of what Is becoming in the
mouth of great commander. n collection of all
his reputed savings in times Of emergency would
be as fine an ana as there is in print any where.
His abrupt close of the conference with Ampudia,
for instance, when treating with him for the sur
render of Monterey is as much TO the purpose and
rs full of meanings any Of Wellingtons despatch
cs-"Sir hold YOU your town and your army in
the hollow of my hand, and YOU know it. The
conference is closed-in thirty minutes you shall
hear from my batteries.
Ofcourse Gen TAYLOR would not have said this
10 gallant and respected enemy. He woul have
spoken in very different vein to brave and gal
liant general, who had maintained his position as
long rs it could be maintained, and now, having
satisfied the demands of honor and duty TO their
full extent ready, with the frankness of a sol
dcr and gentleman, TO accept the necessity OF his
position. But to Ampudia, neither brave nor gal
liant, and whiting a capitulafion he knew to
be inevitable, the response fitting as it was
weli-timed and effective.
There was on the other hand, delicious touch
of humor in the Generals acknowledgement to tho
shows who laughed at him for dodging.-In the
thick of the fight at Bucna Vista, when the ball,
were flying considerable" Gen. Taylor saw some
OF his men duckinG their heads the missiles
whizzcd by, and called out mo lodging, gentle
men; soldiers don't dodgc.H-But in a few mo-
ments n twenty-four FOUNDER came humming so
the old gcntlemans nose that he involuntari-
ly duckcd his own hcad-whereat some of the
'bovS" -snickered right out" dodge the halls
gentlemen" exclaimed old ZACH as grave as a
mustard pot; dodge the balls, gentlemen, but
don't rum
In the same style was his quiet remark at Re-
saca de Ia Palma, where the balls made lively
music, too. One of them cut off piece of his
coat tail; whcreupon he dryly remarked to one
who near him, these balls are getting excit-
ed
But the best thing he is said to have said was
also at Buena Vista. 1t was not only quaint but
grand; there was sort of heroic largenesS about
II, in conception and expression, than which we
know of nothing more fills the minds eve. 1t
was when the last, desperate, almost overwhelm-
ing charge was made upon Capt. Bragg's battery.
The captain saw the mighty cohort coming, with
an anxious gaze for there was no infantry at
hand to sustain him. Placing his pieces in posi-
ton, he hurried TO the General, who was not far
off to represent that his little band would be rid
den over, and TO beg for reinforcements. Il have
no reinforeements TO give YOU" answered the
General "but Major Bliss and l will support YOU"
Major Bliss and l" accordingly put spurs to
their horses and took post beside the cannon
We all know what the result was.

| EFFECT OF SLAVE LABoR-Tbe recent turn
out among the workmen at the Tredagar iron
works at Richmond has occasioncd some discus
sion at the South upon the prospects and result )
| of slavery. The Oh arleston Mercury, the leader
of the ultra slave party declares that there shall
he no distinction between the free Llborer and the
slave. The system is to last for ages, and the
slaves are not to he nailed to the worn out lands
which have been exhausted by their labor, but
are to be transplanted to the more vigorous soils
acquired by conquest. The Apalachicola (Flori-
da) Advertiser takes the other side, and gives the
following picture of the effects Of slavery in that
city
In this small community we have sad instance
Of the influence which the employment of slaves
will have to diminish population, and reduce the
wealth Of community, In 1888, when first
came to this city, there we're but few slaves and
they were mostly owned by our own citizens; at
that time our population amounted to about
250O-the high rate of wages here, and the reduc-
ton in the value of slave labor in Georgia and Al
alamo sent gangs ofHegToeS fOm those states to be
hired out here in opposition to The rhite LabOrers-
the result has been, that population has been
duced 10 1907 whilst the quantity Of cotton ship
ped since 1888 has been quadrupled The white
laborers could not subsist the wages paid to the
slave-thcy were driven away. But the evil was
not confined to them alone; the merchants who
supplied them with food and raiment, and the
landlords who rented them dwellings, have felt
the effects of diminished demand for what they
each supplied. The rqges ot'he rhite IabonT was
diffused by him through the whole community
he was a consumer as well as producer-ho
boarded up but little; but the wages of'the Stare Ia
borer sent TO enrich his already 'oeohhy master an
Georgia and alabama; not dollar Of it ever re-
turns here
We desire to encourage the honest industrious
whites from the interior of the state to come and
settle in city, and perform the labor now done
by foreign negroes, many Of whom are curse to
the community. 1t is evidence of a want OF
that feeling of sympathy which we should possess
for our own color, that while many honest, indus
trious white men and women in our city are una
bic to buy decent rament, and can scarcely make
two ends meet in the matter of bread and meat,
that there are in the city negro men and women
revealing in plenty, who iaunt by us on Sunday

sprlug, residents Of Louisville. aud both paid
their addresses to a young lady Of much
beauty-Miss Louisa Jenkings. Dorsey was
the preferred sutton Of the lady. but Bassford
had money, and was favored by the parents.
The result was that she was ptn'suaded, or
rather forced, to marry Bassford, who immc-
diately brought her TO Lancaster in this State,
and set up business.
A short time since, Mrs. Bassford, upon
entering the dining-room Of the hotel where
they bOrded, encountered Dorsey. She pre-
vailed upon him to leave her, and he subse-
queutly signed paper promising to leave
the city on a visit, and modest them no farther

to this city on a visit and put mp at Mrs. Nu-

since her marriage, urging her to leave her
