time to work In. On tho ls of September ths

of Congress Of bat one ohamtcr. The revolu-
tonists will no doubt wait until that time when
new and unpractiscd Assembly must debate
every little step the Executive may be required 10
take, and If we are not much mistaken the result
will be anarchy or Dictatorship within short
period. Debating assemblies are bed governors

land, practical baker in Paris, by which il
is said that bread is produced in an econo.
mical, pure and perfect manner heretofore
unat,ainable. The machinery consists first,
of mechanical kr eading trough, within
which revolve curved blades by which the
dough is kneaded at the rate Of barrel Of
flour in fifteen minutes, in perfection ln-
possible TO attain by the hand process -
This kneader is worked with ease by sin
gle operative; is simple and durable in con-
struction; almost impossible to get cut Of
order, and inexpensive in cost The remain
der Of the equipment is hot-air oven, the
heating of which is accomplished by an in
dependent furnace, the caloric circulating
around it through flues in the brick work by
iron pipes, dc. Any combustibl- can be
used for fuel, and, as the embers are collect
ed spontaneously, no cinders, Ike, or
ashes enter the oven; therefore the necess-
ty of cleaning the bed at each baking is en-
tirely dispensed with. Tbs floor of the oven
Is readily revolved, and in filling the loaves
have only to be reached as far as the centre
BY this means the whole batch is done
evenly and of the same color, besides doing
away with the fatiguing labor Of long hand
led tools, and obviating the effects resulting
from the tradition of heat, which is often di-
sastrous to the workman, and producing the
bread free from blernish whether Of ashes,
coal or hueace. II Is stated that the system
Of VI ROLAND IL already in practical use ia
nearly all the countries of the Old World,
while IN France 1t is rapidly taking the place
OF every other means Of making bread.

New York Nov. 19.-Col. Alexander's
letter to Adjutant General Cooper says,
cannot for fear of this being intercepted, tell
you the strength Of my command. l send
returns Of it. 1t is strong enough to defend
itself and its supplies whether it is able to
assume and sustain an offensive position
remains to be seen but should the command
which have heard are in the rear come up
in time, think we will have sufficient force
to carry out an active invasion If We are OBJ
lged to winter in the monutHS
You can perceive by reference to SANKEY'S
maps that We have an open road 20 Salt Lake
City in the spring. which am told - open
carly. BY this one attack can be made, and
attention called from the main road that by
FORT Bridge may then be traversed by
troops.
The Bear River route is, however, said to
he the best one into the vallei. The other
through the canon can be defended by
handful against thousands, and it is more
over easily obstrueted that in week it could
be made utterly impossible.
The want of cavalry is severely felt, and
we are powerless on account of this de-
ticiency to effect any enlistment Of the
marauding Indians that are continually how
ering around us.
The HeraM says that Gen. Harvey, with
large force, will be despatched for Utah as
soon as he can effect an entrance into The

Marseilles, Nov. 16, 1857.

MAKES REPoRT-T. r. Arnott, Of Ii
verpoo!, visited the United States short
time since, for the purpose Of seeing the eie-
plant and getting posted up in the history
and peculiarties Of a people who invented
the ballot box, dog churns, India rubber
saws ana reaping machines. Having exa-
mined the country, Mr.. Arnott returned
home and reported his jaunt to the Liver
pool Polytechnic Society. Mr. \. was
greatly pleased with what he saw in the
land of yellow corn and small footed wo-
men" He was much surprised with our RI
yer steamers, and the Metropolis delighted
him beyond measure; he told his hearers
that on the Mississippi the Americans have
800 steamboats, running, and that be had
travelled / 800 miles, in seven days, for
twenty dollars, He explained the dexterity
exhibited by the plots, and gave some sta
tis-ical information of our traffic that asto-
nished his audience.
On our railroad system ne said much.
and, although he found some faults, he
thought, on the whole, there was much for
their railroads to copy, especially as regards
the cars. The locomotives attracted his at
tention, but the "camel engine" was his
greatest object Of admiration. The hydrau-
lie dock, he thought, was a masterpiece of
ingenuity and inventive faculty; and the
water works of Paramount and Croton made
him thoroughly perceive that he was travel
ing in a country whose basis was the civili-
zaton of the nineteenth century; and last
". the American telegraph system, ana the
mode of conducting the L. 5. Patent Office
were examples to the world; and he con-
cluded by expressing his admiration oil the
matter of fact inventive mind OF America.
Mr.. Arnott's report is calculated to do
great deal of good, as it posts up Mr. Bull in
a great many matters which Mr.. Bull has
heretofore been very deficient in.

adorned with three splendid steel engray-
ings, THE Night before Christmas"
"Christmas Morning" and THE Fashions, y
and fourteen colored plates, giving pat
terms Cor fine needle and crotchet work, be-
sides some % other euSravings, illustrating
novelties in dress, lessons in drawing, &c, to
say nothing OF some IS pages of such choice
reading as Cooley always furnishes. The
"Lady's Book" mas for so many years been
the regular inmate of the best families in
the couatry, and relied upon as their in
structor in all matters of dress, fine needle
work and culinary affairs, that folks fall be-
hind the times who try to get along with
cut it
The regular subscription price OF the La
dy's Book is So year. To clubs it comes
cheaper, but few persons choose to spend
time to make up club. To avoid the ne
cessiiy, We are enabled by an arrangement
with Cooley, to make this offer to our sub
scribers, or such as wish to become subscri-
bers to the Free Trader. We will send them
the Lady's Book and the Free Trailer one
year for 50. This is getting the Free Ira
der for 81 and Cooley at the lowest club
rates. This offer tc remain open until the
1st of January.

The PERu "VoLKsFREuSD."-Wec copy the
following, in reference to this excellent Ger
man paper, from the La Sale Press, a neu-
trail paper in politics:
..DER VoLKsFREUsD."-This is the name
OF the German Democratic paper published
at Peru. We were honored by visit from
Mr.. CRAMER, one Of its editors, one day last
week. We learn from him that their paper
is prospering beyond all expectation, and
that their circulation is rapidly increasing.
Although we are unable to read it for our
selves, we have heard it we'll spoken Of by
many Of our German fellow citizens, and
we can but advise all such in our midst to
extend to it their patronage. From the large
number Of Germans in Peru, and the ire
menduous democrat majority which that
place gave at the late election, we should
juGge that Der Tolksfrc1tnd welded an ex-'
:ensive influence.
We can add to the above that it is cur
happiness to be able to read German, and
we can assure our readers that Mr.. Cramcr
is very intelligent, able, and pungent wri-
ter.

SHARP AND PLAIN TALK-Here is . pass
at arms between the Chicago Press and the
Times. We think the Times is a little
ahead.
The Times takes exception to our quote
ton from the late speech of Senator Doug
las in this city, relative to the dreaded ef-
fects of the prevalence of Black Republican
principles, in the way of Sinking us (the
sweet scented Democracy out Of our places
of aeorship." We presume no one present
at the meeting would truthfuly side with
the Times in the denial. The best evidence
we gain FIR ,m the testimony of those present
fully sustains our report We are not to
blame for the inelegance of the expression.
Pres.
You are to blame not only for the inele-
gance of the expression. but for its entire
falsehood. The lie, and its repetition, as
well as the original forgery belong to you.
They are Characteristic Of the Fress-malig-
nant, indecent, false-the work of q liar and

Missouri BoSps.-The people of Illinois
have naturally felt 4 very deep interest in
the action Of the Missouri Legislature now in
session in reference to providing means for
paying the interest on her state bonds, as
large proportion Of the securities for redeem
ing the circulation Of our banks consists Of
Missouri bonds \ few days ago the bill
before the Missouri Legislature, imposing
tax of mill per cent, and forbidding the Is
sue of anr aew bonds beyond two millions,
was defeated in the lower house, which had
such bad effect in the New York stock
market, that Missouri bonds fell 20 per cent.
in two days. BY telegraph on Thursday,
however, we are advised that the Missouri
Legislature has reconsidered its action, OF
satber that the main provisions Of the bill
lost in the house were ensrafted by the Se-
nate on the Railroad bill, and that in this
shape the bill had passed the house,-so
that the interest on the Missouri state bonds
may be regarded as permanently provided
for. This Will render the paper Of all our
banks secure beyond any reasonable doubt.

Circuit Court.

The proceedings Of the past week furnish
no material for thrilling items. In the case
of The People vs.. Wilhel", the jury re-
turned a verde: of not guilty. Wilhelm is
the man who was arraigned for stabbing a
man some months ago in front OF his grocery
in Mendoza. The indictment was for an
assault with intent to commit murder, but
as the stabbins occurred in an affray, and
the man is still alive, the jury did not think
the "intent" was made out.
Thomas Desmere, Gustasus Kruger, and
Peter Good, severally plead guilty to indict-
ments for selling too little liquor at a time
that is, in less quantities than one quart, and
were severally fined, the last $50, aud the
others $50 each and costs, which they up
and paid"
The case Of james Still vs.. Tie Chicago
and Rock Llaad Railroad Company excited
some interest Still is the man who year
ago had his horses killed near the Fox River
bridge by train running over them. The
proof was pretty clear that the engineer had
failed to ring the bell or blow his whistle as
he approached the crossing. The jury gave
Still verdict Of $3.50 Tho Railroad Com
pany have entered a motion for new trial,
which is pending.
Three gentlemen from the town Of Bruce
took some lessons in law, for which they
have paid pretty dearly. The case was :,lat
Of John Barnhart VS.. Oscar Head. Barn.
hart had recovered a judgment before Esq.
Spencer for s25, for breaking prairie. Head
appealed to the Circuit Court, where long
trial took place, terminating in the jury
agreeing to disagree. The parties now got /
together and settled. Head agreeing to pay |
the So and half the costs. On footing up
the costs they amounted to just sl62.49, or
$sl.e45 each 1t costs something to learn
law.
