NATIONAL FoUNDRY.-Last week we noticed the
reception of Prof Emmons' Report concerning the
advantages Of the valley of Deep River, Chatham
county, site for the establishment of national
foundry. The report was made in pursuance of in
structions from Gov Bragg and has been is to be
laid before Congress with the view of inducing the
Government to locate foundry at a place so well
adapted to the purpose Prof. Enmons enumerates
some of the advantages of Deep River follows -
Its abundant supply Of bituminous and semi-bitu.
mnous Goals of the best qualities; its vast resources
for the manufacture of iron; its materials for
s:ruction in wood and stone; ample water power !;
its soil and productions; and its climate and good
water. Besides, it will be out of reach of any ene
my in time Of war.
A Railroad is now being constructed from the coal
fields to Fayetteville, which would give the U. S.
Arsenal at the latter place easy communication with
the Foundry.
Gov Bragg has manifested commendable FORE
sight in having this report submitted Congress for
consideration. Dem.
Our Representatives in Congress will, we doubt
not, with one voice bring this subject prominently
before that body. 1t is subject of much importance
to North Carolina, and indeed to the country gener-
ally for site could be chosen better suited for the
purpose than that of Deep River. Prof Emmons
has shown this to be so in his able and interesting
Report on the subject. Nor are these views of his
by any meaps new furnished merely for the occa
sion. They are the result of much patient observa
ton and investigation his part, and sincerely
trust they will receive that attention at the hands o
Congress which they really merit.
The people of North Carolina would not be willing
to ask Congress to make the appropriation if they
did not believe the site to be proper and suitable
one for the purpose. They are not asking merely
for "spols" or for money-that they would scorn t.
do; bu: they place this proposed work on the higt
ground of its merits, and confidently appeal t.
members of Congress from all sections to conside
and determine upon it accordingly.

REVOLUTIONARY INCIDENT.-Dr. McChesney of
Trenton, New Jersey, man of fine scholarship
and great research, is responsible for the fol-
lowing remarkable incident in our revolution
AIRY history:
The success of Washington at Trenton, has
been generally considered as the turning point
in the war of our independence. Yet very few
are perhaps aware upon how slight an event
that great, critical event was made to hinge.
On the Christmas eve when Washington and his
followers crossed the Delaware, Col. Ruh the
commander of the Hessans, sat in private
room near Trenton, engaged in drinking and
playing cards. A Tory, who had discovered the
movements of the American troops sent note,
by special messenger to the Colonel, with Or
ders to deliver it into his own hand. The mes
senger found his way to the house, and negro
opened the door, but refused him admttance
took the letter and delivered it to the Colonel,
who was just then shuff1ing for new game.
Supposing the letter to be unimportant, or not
stopping to think of it at all, he went on with
his play. The reading of the letter would have
thwarted the design of Gen. Washington, but
the love of play conquered the Colonels pru-
dence, and gave success to a worthier cause,
involving the loss of his life and army, and ul-
timately the freedom of the Colonies.
Little did the Colonel think, when shutting
the cards, that he was losing the greatest game
that was ever played among the nations of the
world

Esa- A New York paper, whose editor pre-
tends TO be extremely courteous to, if not of the
ladies, gives them the following instructions to
make perfumes. We being hard-toiling fellows,
cannot say whether they are really genuine or
not, but give them as we fad them ss Take a
quantity of freshly gathered flowers, clip the
stems from them and place them in a vessel con-
tanning sufficient olive or almond oil to cover
the petals. After they have remained in the oil
for twenty-tour hours, strain the mass with
piece of sheer muslin, squeezing the oil entirely
from the leaves. To the same oil add a fresh
supply of flowers, repeating the process until
the oil becomes as strongly impregnated with
the volatile essence of the flowers as is required:
then add to the oil an equal quantity of highly
rectihed spirits. This must be shaken every
day for fortnight when the perfumed spirits
on the top may be poured off into the toilet bot
ties for use

active his ideas clear and lucid his hand and

BsT- A New York letter writer relates the fol-
lowing unique incident of the recent municipal
election in that city:
The death of Judge Oakley made a vacancy
in our Supreme Court, and at the election in
November a successor was chosen. But this
successor only takes his seat on the first of jan
uarJ. The month of December would be an
interregnum; but it was considered too short a
time to FILL either by the Governor or by spe-
cial election A cunning young Irishman, how
ever, thought otherwise; and So filling up a
dozen ballots with his own name and handing
them to dozen friends, he elected himsef, in No.
vember, Judge of the Superior Court for the
unexpired term of Judge Oakley, up to the first
of january On Thursday he was sworn in ;
and although he is, l am told, good boot ma
ker, and cannot tell Blackstone from Mother
Goose's Melodies, he pockets salary of about
six hundred dollars, sits on bench with digni-
ty, and win be called Judge for life

A Tall Editors Adventures ut a Railroad
Depot.

"Jeems;;" as he is called-but James W. Clark
-one of the tallest, funniest, awkwardest and
most good natured specimens of the edit
orial fraternity in New York State, and editor of
the Baldwinsville (0nondago county, Gazette,
recently undertook trip to Syracuse, and thus
relates his troubles while there:
While in the Central Railroad Office waiting
for the Oswego train, we reclined on one of the
benches, our head aching very badly, when we
were roughly ordered out by railroad official,
with the polite information that they didn't fur
nish lodgings for strangers
Hardly had we passed through the "hole the
carpenter had made" when a chap hailed us
with say, feller, help me to carry this trunk p
We meekly passed to the extreme east part of
the depot, and took hold of the end of large
trunk, which we assisted to place at the de-
sired location, when We were discharged with
out the customary sixpence
Sadly pondering on our hard fate, we passed
slowly along, when we were caught by the coat
collar, and harsh cultural voice exclaimed,
iswhar bin"
We turned, and 10 fat i'll favored squaw
greeted our eyes. The moment she saw our
features she grunted out " ugh tort you was
my IninnF' and Immediately waddled away
Half blind with rage and modification, our
next move was to stumble in pile of baggage,
when we greeted with s'd-n you, get out
of this adding in an undertone, 'wonder what
the ID you expect to steal here" Just at this
moment Conductor Fiske called out to US -
Here, get into the cars and go home before the
cows eat you up~ We crawled into the hind
car like whipped hound, and threw ourselves
recklessly into a seat. Smash ! we squatted on
lady's bandbox. She, seeing the damage we'd
done, squalled out: "There you great gander-
legs, you've split my new bonnetr
Concealng our shame and confusion as well
as we could, we subsidized into the smallest pos
sible dimensions, until we were kicked out of
the cars at our village depot.
Moral-Never go TO Syracuse without sha-
wing and putting a clean shirt and a decent
coat
