SCALING TURTLEs.-The tortoise shell of com
merce is merely the scales that cover the bony
shield of the turtle. These scales are l3 in mum
Der. varying from eighth to quarter of an inch
in thickness. large turtle will furnish about
eight pounds To detach this shell from the living
animal is q cruel process, which it made
my flesh creep TO witness. The fishers
do not kill the turtles did they do SO, they
i'll few years would eXterminate them. When
the turtle is caught they fasten him, and his
back with dry leaves or grass, to which they set
fire. The heat causes the plates to separate at
their joints. large knife is then carefully insert
ed horizontally beneath them, and the lamne lift
ed from the back, care being taken not to injure
the shell by muph heat lor to force off until
the heat has fully prepared it for separation
Many turtles die under this cruel operation but in
stances numerous in which they have been
caught second time, with the coating repro
duced: but i'll such cases, instead Of l3 pieces it is
81 single piece Had the l,uar turtles the power of
Shricking, they would have made that barren is
land very hell with their cries OF torture Bard 5

KINNEYs GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZED BY THE
UNITED STATEs.-An official letter acknowledging
the authority of Colonel kinney's Government on
behalf of the United States was addressed to Colo
mel kinney 1t seems, very shortly after his election
as Governor of GreytoSn, by Mr. Mason United
States Vice-Commereial agent at that port The
Commercial agent, in concluding his letter takes il
upon him to say
For my own individual part, have seen this
movement in favor of Il government and the estab
lshment of law with great satisfaction, and am con
tdent that it will be productive of great good to
this place; and cannot refrain from congratulanr
you, and the citizens through you, that this has
been brought about with much harmony and
unanimity. Should you go on as you have began
l believe that Mr.. Everets prediction, made in
the same speech to which | have above alluded
that San Juan in time will be a great American
city, inhabited by Americans chiefly, viii yet be
fulfilled
The report that Kinney had resigned the Office OF
Governor is said to be untrue.

ABOLITION FALSEHooDS-The st. Louis Re-

the election, pronounees all the statements to the
effect that Mr.. Furnam shot at, that the ball
killed child that the Free State men armed them
selves, that citizen was knocked down and stab
bed, &c, as base falsehoods The Republican
says:
1.-The whole thing is premeditated lie intended
to have its effects the Ohio election and publish
ed with that view. Our information is that the
election was conducted without any excitement
whatever-that there fighting at all-no
shooting and no running away of Missourians, for

was on board hesteamboat Empire, when that
vessel was sunk i'll the Hudson river, and SO many
lives were lost. About year ago she went to Eu

kept without food for several days. When the hoar

nor correction use for vain to try to straghten
