The Chattanooga ('renn.) Gazette alludes
as follows to the erection of large establish.
ment in that city, f"r the purpose of curing ba-
con, etc:
circulating abont town the other day, we
took occasion to visit the large cmoke house
of Messrs. G. F. SGreenvlle & Co. Mr.. G.,
the active partner has taken great pains and
spared no expense to fit up house every way
safe and convenient. Immediately adjoining
it is a large ante.room, with thick floor for
receiving bacon and preparing for handling
A door leads from it into the smoke house.
Deep vaults are sunk in the ground and walled
up with brick. At one end ofthe vaults are steps
to 90 down,wilh wood-at the other is the fire,
which is covered over with CRATES, forming a
net work that makes it impossible for spark
to get through. Green hickory wood alone is
used. An additional security against fire do
ing damage is found in keeping large cistern
full of water convenient for immediate use, and
DR.. G.. informed US that he also had small fire
engine, intended for his warehouse yard, ready
for use if fire was to break out in any of his
extensive buildings. They expect to cure be-
tween four and five hundred thousand pounds,
of bacon this season; having already upward
of 400, 900 in store and engaged. This seems
like doing business in the right way"
We trust this enterprise will be crowned with
complete success, and that it will be the fore.

any extra trouble, or without diminishing, to
any material extent, the yield of the much pri-
ded staples. And suppose the yield was some

er States, for indispensable plantation necessa-
ries. Thus, it will be seen, they would save
in three ways: lst, in the enhanced price Of
their staple; I'd, in raising articles of prime me-
cessity, such as pork, upon their own planta
tions (Which establishments like the above
could readily cure,) and which would involve
but the expenditure of a trtling amount in
comparison to the sums now paid for those
neccssaries; Sd, in the diversilcation of labor
so much needed in all Of the slaveholding,

The NEW Empress of France.

We are indebted to an esteemed friend, who
was formerly resident in Spain, for the following
sketch, which seems to explain the family origin
81 the new Empress of France very satisfactorily:
Her history is no less romantic than that offthe
Empress Josephine: @r~ :,
'By to-day's advices from Europe we are told
that the Emperor Napoleon III. has espoused a
Spanish lady, whose grandfather was British
consul at Malaga and whose mother was an Irish
lady by the name of Fitzpatrick also, that this
new Empress was in her own right, Countess
Tcba, although, bearing the name of Mad'lle
Montego Thus much by telegraph. Now the
plain English of all this is, no doubt, as follows:
"a worthy Scotchman, by the name of VIII
liam kirkpatrick, was for some time the Amer
can consul at Malaga, and, failing III business,
was succeeded by George G. Barrel as United
States consul at Malaga. This was, | think, un-
der President Monroe's administration.
''Mr. Kirkpatrick's eldest daughter, Maria, or
'Mariquita,' as she was Familiarity called and
known by all Americans there, was very fine,
dashing lady, and married the Count de Teba,
Younger brother Of. the celebrated Palafoix,
who behaved so gallantly at the siege Of lara
g0Sa, and VINO III reply W deluauu VI ouiish
der, declared he would continue the defence by
'War to the kpife.''.
sThe Palafoix family embraced numerous IT,
ties, and was singularly brave and noble. .
"Ihis husband of Maria Kirkpatrick Count de
Teba) was a gallant soldier, and so cut up by
wounds as to be unable to mount his horse with
out aid, and when in the saddle looked more as
if he was hooked on than seated there.
'The new Empress Of the French is no doubt
the daughter of this Countess Teba, .Marquita
Kirkpatrick who was the daughter of William
kirkpatrick, late United States Consul at Mala-
ga-not British Consul-not Fitzpatrick-and
not Irish.
"The British Consul at Malaga was William
Laird, another cid Scotch gentleman, and he was
followed by Mr.. Marks, an Englishman.
IF the new Empress of France was Countess
Teba, as stated, then her mother is dead, as also
is her father, and she took the title of her moth
er. The name Montego, under which she pass
ed in Paris, is perhaps one of the family names
or titles of the Palafoix family. ."-N.5Y. Com.

AusTRAuA.-The advices from Australia
continue to be of the most encouraging charac-
ter. The produce of the gold fields becomes
more and more extraordinary every day. Inc
Weld of those in Victoria to>September 24th,
was at least 2,s9s,6l5 ounces, equal to tfo-,
l45,l52. The total number Of dIegers was
UPWARDS of $4,000; the average earnings per
man an ounce per week. The rate OF pro
duction in September last was equal to LII,
S40.000a year.
The wool season at Adelaide was at its
height wher the Australian left that port, l4th
October,l and shearing was proceeding rapidly;
wages we're very high; the wool was in better
condition than usual The prospects of the
harvest were extremely favorable; nearly w,
600 acres were under cultivation, two.tnrds
of Which were bearing wheat, barley and oats.
At Melbourne (Victoria,) the wool shearng
had also commenced; the wages paid were dou-
BILE those of former times. Itwas feared there
would be difficulty in bringing the wool to
the sea.board, owing to the high rates OF carrI'
age. -
Itis gratifying to learn that despatch cbest,isre
sent by the Adelaide steamer, to the authors
ties in New South Wales and Victoria, author
izng the Legislative Councils in both those
Colonies to form themselves each into Par
lament of an upper and lower house-the
Crown having determined to concede to them
the management of their own affairs, including
the entire receipts from the public lands, SO as
to assimilate their condition to that OF Canada
The transportation ofconvicts to those fcolonl
es is also to cease ina short time.

ANEW LIQUOR LAW IN FLoR1DA.-Though

Maine liquor law. 1t has done the next thing to
it. According to bill just passed, all licenses
hereafter to retail spirituous liquors are to pay
tax of 5000; and persons offending are to

thought, will operate to prohibit licenses to 4
large extent, if not altogether.

AS Coop AS IF IT WERE EsoP--The
"Naptucket I,lander" says the following story
was lately told by reformed inebriatc, as an
apology for much of the folly of drunkards
A mouse, ranging about brewery: happen
ing to fall into vat of beer, was in imminent
danger of drowning, and applied to cat to
help him out.
''It is foolish request. for as soon as get
you out I.shall eat you."
The mouse pteously replied, "rhat fate
would be better than to be drowned in beer" !"
The cat lifted him out, but the fume of the
beer caused puss to sneeze, and the mouse
took refuge in bis hole. The cat called upon
the mouse to come out
"You, sir, did you not promise that should
eat you2"
"Ah." replied the mouse, "but you know |
was in liquor at the time"
