Senator, by the tricks of five or six
disorganizers, who, for some time
past, have been moving every rub
bish they could lay their feet upon,
to kick at me, and who can have no
object but to distract and divide the
Democratic party, that they may
build to themselves, upon its ruin, an
importance which they know but too
well they cannot secure as long as it
stands by its principles and remains
united. Yours, Respectfully.
Pierre Soule.

CoTToN BAGGING-A NEW ARTI-
cLE.-The Mississippian contains the
subjoined notice of new article of
bagging made from the moss grow
ing SO extensively in the forests and
swamps of the South and South
west:
awe have examined an article of
cotton bagging made of moss taken
from the trees in our woods, and
while we shall refrain from express
ing our opinion of its merits
having seen it tried with the hooks
ii gives us pleasure TO say that its
appearance indicates strength and
durability, and we think it we'll wor-
thy of the attention of our planters.
We desire to see it fairly tested.
"T'he experiment of manufactu-
ring this new bagging originated
with Maj. Mosely, the Superinten-
dent ofthe Penitentiary. Some year
ago, he attempted its manufacture
with his cotton manchinery, and he
was so well satisfied with the result
that he sent large quantity of moss
to Kentucky. where it was manufac-
tured into bagging with more suita-
BILE machinery. A portion of it has
been received and is now in the store
of Messrs. Fearn 81 Putnam, where
although the heaviest article it may
be bought at price similar to the
Kentucky.
ave learn that should the bagging
be successful, it may be made at a
rate than the Kentucky bagging.-
Having an ine1haustible quantity in
our woods, demand for it would
bring the price of the raw article
down to three cents per pound. Five
cents more would cover the cost of
manufacture, and the article might
be furnished at eight cents per yard.
1t would also be in the power of the
planter to manufacture his own bag
ging. We think the subject is one
well worthy the attention of The Leg
islature. The sale of baggine i'll our
own State alone, will this year a.
mount to at least three hundred and
twenty thousand dollars. 1t is easy
to see that if this new article becomes
a good substitute, owing to its cheap
er price, that the whole of this large
amount OF money will be employed
In our own State for the direct and
permanent benef Of our planters,
mechanics and manufacturers"
PERJURY--ExTRAoRDINAR CASE.
"A charge of perjury, involving the
history of remarkable system of
marriage-brokerage, was preferred
yesterday before Squire SneIlbaker.
1t appeared from the testimony, that
the defendant, Henry Weiss, had a
sister about thirty-five years of age,
rather deaf, for whom he desired a
husband; and through the introduc-
ton of Mr.. and Mrs Weinstein, who
were to receive twenty-five dollars
for the agency, Jonas We'll, young
man twenty-five years of age, was
found willing to entertain an offer.
The defendant then eptered into a
contract to give him two hundred
dollars, and the furniture of house.
as marriage portion, if he would
marry his sister. He consented, and
IN twenty-four hours the nuptials
were celebrated, and the money and
property passed over to We'll. Sub
seq"ently a difficulty sprung up be-
tween defendant and We'll, and the
former made oath in the Superior
Court that he was entitled to the
possession of the property. After
hearing the testimony and the argu-
ment the magistrate held that in
swearing to the ownership of the
property, which had been plainly
passed away 10 We'll, defendant had
sworn what he knew to be false.-
He was then held over upon the
charge IN the sum of six hundred
dollars.
