NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
RELICS OF THE REVOLUTION.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune has
furnished that paper with account of curious
collection of letters written in the times of the Revo-
luton. The manuscript books spoken of in the
article must, it is thought, have been the letter
books Of Col. PICKERING commencing with the Pc
nod at which he assumed the position of Quarter
master General of the army, which Gen. GREENE
had thrown up in disgust The extracts from these
letters contain pretty distinct evidence of the penuy
TO which the American army was reduced. The
Continental money had ceased to circulate; quar-
masters certificates, being merely promises to pay
were not in very good credit, and the only means of
obtaining supplies forced levies, either by the
svl or military authorities. Public fodder in those
days was scarce. Gen. WASHINGTON writes that
his horses are starving. Col. PICKERING replies,
with patriotism which in this age it would be hard
30 MATCH with offer to devote to the public ser
Tiee the hy bought with his private money to feed
his own private cow How many of our public
servants of to-day would be prepared to make sacr-
fees like this

New Steam Mill.

Mr.. Gro. EAsrMAN's new steam mill in
this place is rapidly progressing to compile
ton. Tho lower part was raised on Monday
last and the entire framework will soon be
completed. The mill is to be lO4 feet long,
by 90 wide and two stories high. 1t is to
stand on the same lot, and partly on the very
site occupied by the old mill which was con-
sumed by fire, one year ago the 10th Of this
month. 14 ,a t
The erection of the new building is under
the superintendent of Mr.. JAMES NJ KELLY,
superior workman, lately from Richmond,
Maine. Mr.. X. intends that this shall be a
finished, modsi mill; and at present, appear
ances warrant us in believing that such will
be the case.
This will be quite large and convenient
mill capable of cutting an unusually great
quantity of lumber; and when in operation
will materially add to the business Of oul
lively village.
