our mind, but that the Herald, in such hands, will
flourish like Green Bay Tree Persons in this

There are about $4,000 worth Of axes
sold in Portsmouth, yearly, to supply the
wants of the different Iron Furnaces in
the adjacent hills; wants, too, that are in,
creasiug rapidly. Until recently, these
axes have all been imported from the East;
but hereafter, good portion Of them will
be made at home. Messrs. McFarlns
and II. Kinney, have now in operation a
very successful mandatory for axes
Under their present arrangement, with
an engine OF inch cylinder, one man
can make from twenty to twenty-five axes
per day; and they are now having Mr..
Maddox build them another engine Of the
same size, which, together with their ma
chinery TO arrive, will enable them to
conduct the manufacture OF axes and
edge tools in manner credible to them
selves and beneficial to our place. They
have already sold some twenty-five dozen
axes to Furnace proprietors, all Of which
give entire satisfaction, not one having
been returned
The Axe and Tool Factory, the new
Rolling Mill, the Soap, Candle, and Lard
Oil Factory, and the Sash and Blind Fac
tory of Mr.. Purdum, will all be valuable
acquisitions to Portsmouth. There is still
room and work for more.-Daiiy Ports

From CHINA,-Wo have reports that
the rebels have captured the great city of
Pekin, the capital of the Chinese Empire,
but that subsequently the Mongol Tartars
made descent and drove them from the
place. But this rumor seems to have
been premature, as later dates make no
mention of it. 1t seems however to be
certain that body of insurgents from
Nankin marched to the city of Yangdeow,
formed junction with the rebel force
there, drove off the imperialists, and car,
rying the garrison, with them, marched
northward. At Shanghae the insurgents
are still in possession, and have rebeled

This bill has passed both branches Of the National

ceved the approval Of the President and is now the
law of the nation; if any act Of legislation based
upon violation Of national faith be rightly call
ed law. The friends of the measure predicated
their arguments upon the hypothesis TINT Congress
had no constitutional right to make a compromise,
and yet they claim that the compromise Of 1850 re-
pealed the Missouri compromise Of 1890. Under
the existing circumstances We ask, what Southern
man can reasonably expect the people OF the free
States to observe the compromise Of 1850 especially
the %-called fugitive slave law. OF the @enty-one
