OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES THAT OVER.


l was bred from my youth a
blacksmith and farmer, and,
whether natural mechanic or
not, ] was always very anxious to
know the why's and wherefores Of
things, or more properly speaking,
the casualties and preventiyes.--
/ was also fond Of trying expert
mcnts upon such things as APP
'peared favorable for improvement.
| was generally in the shop with
my father evenings, rainy days,
and such other time as ] could be
spared from'the farm orschool. BY
being in the shop so much. / OBJ
tanned the views of the farmers
generally, and by thatwa enabled
to make many improvements on
the farm. ! learned, also, that
many farmers entertain very err
|roneous ideas about blacksmith
ing, (and | might add blacksmiths
|too;) still they were bound TO die
tate according to prejudices; as,
for instance, one says: "This
horse overreaches; / want you to
put the front shoes as far forward
as possible, and set the hind shoes
as far back, or he will tear them
off, / would sometimes try to
reason the case by saying the
way to prevent a horse from over
reaching, is to augment the speed
|of the front feet, and retard the
motion Of the hind ones; but in
order to accomplish that, | shall
have to reverse your directions
Some who had little or no me-
chanical genius, would cut short
all argument, and say, "lol!ow my
directions or else not shoe the
horse" OF course a mechanic
must obey orders, il he breaks
owners; so the horse would 90 oui
Of the shop, nicely lfettered, with
his shoes clicking at every step
while, perhaps, the man ofinquiry
would desire a full explanation
Ms way is, to make the toe-corkl
very low, and standing a little un
der, and the shoes set as far back
as convenient on the forward feet
with high heel-corks, so as to lei
them roll over as soon as possible
On the hind feet, I have the hee
cork low, and the toe-cork high
projecting forward, thus keeping
back the hind foot, while coming
up over a high toe-cork, giving
time to the forward foot to get ou'
of the way. If thus shod, tn,
horse will travel clean, without {
click, and bis speed WILDE increas

SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE,

The suljoined paragraph gives US the intelli-
gcnce of q movement on the part of Southern men
in Washington, which looks like an approach to
Southern independence in the right direction. 1t
ishich time to change our mania for Conventions
into the more practical policy of fiction; and the
formation Of Commercial Association promises
good beginning. Let it 60 on:
WASHINGTON, June 20.-Thcre was prelimiua-
~ meeting last evening oil the Southerners to take
into consideration the formation Of Southern
Commercial Association. The members were to
pledge themselves to give the preference in the
bestowal of Southern business patronage to those
only in the North who would respect the sacred
rights guaranteed to the South by the Constltu-
ton and laws of the United States, and that they
would withhold the same from abolitionists, con-
siIcriuu ;hcm ~ rncui,s /" The best interests Of
the common country, as far as practicable.
The influence which lucrative commerce always
bestows on an agency, should be opened in New
York this season for the fall trade, and the South
cru merchants should discriminate between friends
and foes. 1t was proposed also to establish pro-
slavery journal which should be free to the men,
bcrs Of the association. Circulars would shortly
be sent forth, inviting the cooperation Of the
South, and means gQald be taken to bring the
subject before the Se9thern Commercial Conven-
ton which meets atsayannah in December next.
