PRESIDENT! PIERCE.

The New York Day Book concludes an excellent
article under the heading the friends of President
Pierce" with these observations .ss
Meantime, letthe true friends of the President
everywhere, East, North, West and South, stand up
boldly for him and the principles of his adnistra-
ton. There should be no lukewarmncss nor flag
ging now. Let Us be active as energetic and as
industrious as his enemies. lie has stood the brunt
OF the battle, through the hardest of the fight lie
has been faithful to the true principles of the demo-
cracy, amid not only the abuse, the jeers am the
SCOTS of his enemies, but in the face of deserion
and when those friends that should have stood by
him have turned their backs upon him. and like Pc
ter, de MED him in the hour of trial..
We repeat, and We declare il boldly, there is no.
thing in the course of his whole administration
that President Pierce has done for which the demo-
cracy should desert hirA, which, had he refused
to do they onght not TO have deserted him."
The Day Book, unlike some of the Democratic Jour-
nails in the free States, is honest ad straight for
ward supporter of the Nebraska bill and of President
Pierce's administration; and we heartily commend it
to the attention of such of friends in this State as
wish to take New York paper. Its course on the Ne
braska bill and the question ofsavery puts TO shame
even some of the Southern K n. papers.

w- A Correspondent of the New York Evening

Y A Correspondent of the New York Evening
Post gives the following account of the mode of
making good -four in Ohio. He says:
There arc extensive mills here, at Madison,
which turn out -four equal to any Genesee brands
that have ever seem They are grinding the choice
wheat of the country this year, the more northerly
crop ripening later, and having sprouted by damp
in the fields. .. ...r
l visited the Palmetto Mills, owned by Messrs.
Shrewsbury & Price. They are capable of manu-
featuring four hundred barrels day. The wheat
is brought in bags, and emptied directly from the
railroad cars with a large funnel box hung like
steeyards; and after being weighed, the bottom is
slipped out, and it falls into the lower story of the
building. IL is thence carried by steam.elevators"
which are buckets attached to a revolving belt, to
the top Of the MILL where it passes through sue
ton which separates the fragments of and
chat; and again it falls to the lower story. 1t is
passed up second time, and then goes through
circular sieve called cheat screen which separates
the cheat and very small unmatured g.ains and
again it falls below. The third elevation puts it
though the smut mill, between revolving cylinders
and mstones by which process all the dirt is rubb-
ed off and it falls the third time to the lower floors.
The fourth elevation conveys it to fan, which f.
naly blows out the broken and imperfect grains and
dust and passes it to a large chest capable of hold
ing hundreds of bushels whence it descenls to the
mlstones and is ground. 1t is then elevated the
upper story and poured into small room, called
the hopper-boy, the floor Of which is perforated in
the centre with holes which are the mouths # the
bolts A revolving shaft is fitted with vertical pad
| dies at a cross angle, which plough through the
mass, drawing gradually towards the centre, where
it finds the mouths just named. This process coos
it at the same time, the friction of the mill stones
having made it quite warm The boiling cloths
carry it by inclined plane into lower story, the
finer -four being separated in its progress but this
first separation is not perfect; all from which any
superne flour can be extracted is sent up by return
bolts, and is poured again into the hopperboy. And
the process goes on the various textures Of cloth
and sieve separating the bran and shorts all the time
The finest flour is then deposited in chest, where
by steam screw it is packed into barrels at the
! rate of four hundred day.
The freight on -four from this point to New York
is about dollar and half"

Various rumors have been in circulation :;

in the direction of the basin, much resem-
bling the body Of dead man; stray hat
had been found near the basin, &c., &c.

must be drained, which was done with

horses from gentleman in GAINESVILLE, for

Of Intoxicating liquors, to be in accordance

people appear to have taken decided

as is in their power, to wipe the stain of
drunkenness from the land. They are no

converted into liquid poison, and retailed
in draushts, that sweep thousands to a
drunkard's grave. They have aroused
