letter on hand for publication tomorrow.
That Election.

Sans enemies think they have done .
terrible thing indeed by electing Wise in vir.
ginia. They have accomplished wonder.
full victory truly. So low has the Old Line
Democratic party fallen, and SO rare are its
triumphs nowadays. that its followers set
up an astounding huzza Of victory over the
result of an election provided they amt badly
beaten, or il they elect their candidate at all
and by even a reduced majority. This ex.
hibits their trembling fear of Sam. Here they
are shouting over Virginia. Well now what
has Virginia been doing for Democracy this
election to occasion such joy among the
Democratic cormorants Of party over the
country! Why she has simply not gone for
Sam. Sam had the Democracy so badly
scared. that they are now Jumping for Joy,
he didn't entirely eat them up! Why Wise,
their candidate, who stumped the State over
made nearly two hundred speeches. and
worked harder than probably ever man be.
fore worked to prevent his political annihi-
lation, has been elected by a less majority
than the political nobody Pierce received
over the great Scott! Sam needn't care for
any such "defeat' a. this. He has done
well. Virginia has always been Democratic
in every portion of her dominion, except
where the light of education and the refine.
ments of civilization have spread. In her
cities, where there is gen eral education, and
plenty of newspapers, and thousands of
avenues of information, she is not Democrat
ic-but in the "interior," in those very Sec
tions where having no telegraph lines or
progressive mail facilities, news does not
creep out into the world till days after the
local neightorhoods have ceased to be aston.
ished-these are Democratic to the CORE
We heard from the civilized parts Of the
State first-from those portions where tele.
graph lines abound and mail facilities are
good. Those sections gave large msjorities
for Flournoy. "But wait till we here from
the back counties-from the far Interior"
said our Old Line friends. And sure enough,
county after county came in which had been
traversed BY Wise, who doubtless told the
people that he was running against Bene.
dict Arnold, and Gen. Washington was
going to vote for him, Wise; and these coun.
ties gave Wise tremendous votes. Ingnor-

~ We find in the Cleveland Herald Of
the Gath, an account Of lately discovered
mode of making boots and shoes BY machines.
The claims Of the inventors (who were
Frenchmen) of the machine, were SO great
that il was difficult to credit them, but
they seemed to be will backed by good
proof. Specimens ofwork were shown Of all
varieties, and excellent finish. There is now
an effort being made to organize company
at Utica to 60 into the manufacturing by
these machines on large scale. The Utica
Telegraph thus speaks of the performances Of
the machines:
The machine is so perfect that it 10 only
necessary to place in it two pieces Of sole
and upper leather, and in an incredibly short
space OF time il turns out q complete boot or
shoe, az is desired.
The machines can be run by women end
boys, and their proper management does not
require any knowledge Of the present way of
making boots and shoes.
II these statements are correct, shoe max.
ing is on the eve of great revolu lion, and
the followers of st. Crispin had better be
looking out for new trade.

THE ANTI. TELEGRAPHERs-S
We noticed some time since that the people
along the line OF the Nashville and New Or
leans Telegraph, under the belief that the
wires caused the drouth, were pulling them
down miles alta time. We learn from the
Tuscumbia North Albanian that these
''heathen" are not disposed to give over their
notions. They have already caused large
damage to the company and great inconve-
nience to the public, and all attempts to quiet
them have heretofore been fruitless. The
following truly characteristic proclamation
was found by the men engaged in putting up
the wire at place near the line of Marion
county, where it had been torn down. We
give it uerbdtim:
The State of Alabama this the of May
Marion county
Notice to the Managers of the TELEGRAPH
Ware you ar hereby forwarned to not to put
up the ware any more for it shall not Stay up
any more long at a time If you do not let it
stay down the hole country is going to Just
90 before your Eyes and tare it down and
cut the post and throw way the glasses and
throw way the ware and skin the first man
sails any thing A gainst it and throw his hide
crows A pole and split 100000
Jump up John the Wolf ketcher.
This is just about such a document as
might be expected from people who believe
that the telegraph prevents rain. One. of the
builders of this Iihe tells an anecdote of an
old lady,, who is now prominent among the
believers in the new theory. Our informant
says that when they were putting up the
wire, eight years ago, opposite the dwelling
of the old lady referred to, she came out and
insisted that they should put il further from
the house-for, says she, "Supposin thar
should be q war, and they should be sendin'
cannons and bombs along the TELEGRAPH, and
they should burst right here and tare every.
thing, ali to pieces; should like to know
who's gwine to pay for it! Take it away
off thar; tor don't like the pesky thing no
howY
This is probably the same old lady who IS
ready to swear, that during the drought Of
last summer she frequently saw the clouds
"gather over the TELEGRAPH wire and bile for
half an hour, trying their best to rain. bat
had to give il up at last" -
The question of telegraph" or "no tele-
graph" is assuming considerable importance
among our Alabama neig hbors, and, the cam
didates for the Legislature are called out up
on it. 1t is currently reported, and by some
believed, that at least one gentleman holding
q seat in the State Senate believes that the
telegraph "won' let it yain!"

Our readers have doubtless heard and read
much Of the experiments which have been
going on for some time in Troy, N. Y, to pro-
duce printing paper from Eastwood, or more
familiarly known in the West a. Lynn. We
now have the pleasure of announcing "by
authority" that the scheme is no longer an
experiment, but an absolute certainly, among
the greatest improvements as we'll a. wonders
of the age. We have now an actual live
newspaper before us, neat and substantial in
every important particular, printed upon pa
per made from the newly discovered msteri.
al. The Albany N. Y. Evening Journal.
tested its merits on the 2lst inst. by print
ing its entire edition upon it. II is the in
vention of a Mr.. Beardslee of Troy, N. Y,
who has succeeded in series of experiments
in producing any kind of paper from various
fibrous woods that can be produced from
cotton or linen rags. His specimens COM
prise wrapping paper, news and book print
ing paper, and bank note paper, all Of which
are of superior quality and justify the most
sanguine expectations.
We cannot doubt that an entire revolution
in The manufacture of paper is at hand, and
the extent and value of the discovery may be
better comprehended when we reflect that
the supply Of material is exhaustless and Of
little cost when compared with material now
employed. The relative cost OF newspaper
is estimated at about one half that manu-
factu:ed from the usual material. Several
other kinds of wood have been tried and
found to answer q good purpose in some
varieties of paper.
Whitewood, Spruce and Buckeye, also
Pine, Cedar and Hemlock. have been found to
possess good qualities, and are readily con.
verted into pulp. The West will Oxford the
most ample facilities for the manufacture oil
this new paper, and also an extended
market. We hope soon to see the expert.
meet attempted by Western enterprise.
