Mary Hartung Cast Do.Sn.-The Albany
Argus: Dec. 30, says: "Mary Hartung is
much cast down by the decision of the su-
preme Court, refusing her new trial. 1t
is said by those who have seen and convere-
sed with her, that she Is more affected than
she was by the verdict of the jury, finding
her guilty of murder. She seems to be
much disappointed in her estimate of Rhine
mans character. Rhineman was her para
mour, and it was for him iii not by hin)
that Hartung was poisoned. From remarks
that have fallen from her lips, it is pretty
evident that she has all along expected fro m
this man some admissions whereby she
would be saved from the ssverest penalty
Of the law, but thus far he has maintained
studied silence, and seems all careless as to
her fate. When told that he had been ap.
prised of the decision of the Court, she anx.
iously inquired whether he had said any
thing, and on receiving a negative reply,
wept the more, and called him Coward

Disciples of John Brown IN 1ro"se'' "A
KingsviAe Is. C.) correspondent OF inc re-
tersburg Express, under date OF peosmoer
18th says:
There passed through this city to-day one
of the most ridiculeusly, miserable buzzard
looking svictims of misplaced confidence In
aboL5ionism the eye ever gazed upon. 1t
W = tarred and feathered Quaker. named
chompsen, who thought getting his bread
from Southern hands and his employment
from Southern men, ventured while at work
upon th Capitol building at Columbia, to
uttsr anti.slavery sentiments and sympathy
with old John Brown. The people there
gave him notice to leave, but he would
not They then Gagged him for a lev
days. To-day they took him out and march
ed him, escorted by two negroes, to the de-
pot, where they first gave him thirty nine
lashes and then tarred and feathered him
from the top of his head to his waist, and
placed him on the train for this place, under
the charge of committee. The commit
tee, with their precious freight of tar, festh-
ers and abolition continued on to Charleston,
where they will place him on board New
York steamer, with express understanding
that the Captain will not permit him TO leave
the steamer until he reaches that place.
Benjamin F. Winter, blacksmith, has
been ordered to leave the town of Hamilton,
Harris county, Ga, by meeting OF citizens,
for avowing aboliting and incendiary senti-
ments.
A man named J. Gennochih, AN Itai an was
arrested in Petersburg, on Monday, for ex.
pressing the incendiary sentiment that Gin
stead Of John Brown being hung, he ought
to have been released and been made Presi-
dent of the United States" He was to
have had hearing bsfore the Mayor yester-
day.
DR.. Mulroe, Of s. c., the owner OF two
plantations and negroes sufficient to work
them, was arrested few days ago, as a sus-
picious character, by Vigilance Commit
tee, in Eufala, Ala. The Doctor was ped
ding ploughs, and it was hard to believe
that so wealthy man would turn Gravel
ing Yankee" A friend who knew the Doc
tor at home; happened to be in town, how
ever, and hearing of the difficulty he was in,
went to the place where the committee were
trying him, and when he entered and found
DR.. NJ. occupying chair, and under going
an examination under such peculiar circun-
stances, he was so astonished that be exclaim-
ed, sWhy DR. Mulroef' and burst outin loud
laugh, while the Doctor, overcome with his
feelings, burst into tears, and the sympathy
was so intense that the whole committee
were In tears. AS a finale, all pledged
themselves to sell as many ploughs as they
could.

Mrs. Waity took the child-an infant about

Poor House, and has taken good care Ut it
ever since, she and her children becoming
quite attached to it and desiring to keep it.
Yesterday Mr.. Anderson, the poor-master,
went up 70 Mrs. Waity's, and, in spite OF her
remonstranoes, her petitions, and the tears
of herself, her children and some Of the
neighbors, took away the child and gave it to
sons strange woman. This apparently quite
nnnsosssary and unfeeliDg act naturally ex-
cites no little indignation, and it would be well
for Mr.. Anderson to restore the child to Mrs.
Waity Or give satisfactory account Of his
conduct.

We did mot know that meeting for the
discussion Of public matters was to have been
held on Tuesday night. But it seems there
was one held, 1t tho corner Of Fourth and
Main streets, and, from report, We should
have been glad to have been present and ia
ken notes. Mr.. Sample, we are told, said
not word about politics, but spent his time
upon the Des Moines Railroad, and in trying
to create prejudice against the rich tax
payers, to his advantage. After concluding,
he had barrel Of beer rolled out, and called
upon the people to come up and drink. ID.
B. Smith, however, went at the crowd in the
style of fierce party fanatic. He said he
didn't care about local issues. Mr.. Sample
was nominated - Democrat. AS Demo
crat, he called on the party to rally to his
support. He wanted him to be elected, and
he was to be elected, as representative Of
the party, to carry out Democratic measures,
and to promote the interests of the party

Lace.

Production OF Brussels ana mecAlIn
Lace.
The spinning OF the {ine thread used for
lace making in the Netherlands, 10 IN opera
ton demanding 80 high degree Of exquisite
skill, minute manipulation, and vigilant at
tention, that il appears impossible that il
can ever be taken from human hands by
machinery. None but Belgian fingers are
skilled in this art. The very finest sort of
this thread is made in Brussels, in damp,
underground cellars, for 1t will break by
contact with the dry air above ground and
it IL obtained in good condition only when
made and kept in humid, subterraneous at
mosphere. There are numbers OF old Bel
gian thread-makers, who, like spiders, have
passed the best part of their lives spinning
in cellars. This sort Of occupation natural-
ly has an injurious effect on the health and the
eye sight of the operatives il impaired at an
early age.
In former days Mechlin was renowned for
ito lace manufactures. For q century and
more it held supremacy in the markets Of
Europe, and the Mechlin lace was considered
the perfection Of that article, commanding
by far the highest prices, and being the
source OF large revenue to it's fabricators.
1t has, however, fallen of very considerably
of late years, in supply and demand. While
this lace is not SO fine ~ that which is made
at Brussels, it is much more durable, and,
therefore, Of more intrinsic value as an ar
ticle of use. In regard to lace not produced
by hand, that which is known a. bobbinet
may be said to surpass every other branch Of
human industry in the complex ingenuity of
its machinery, one Of the "spotting frames,"
as they are termed, being as much beyond
the most curious chronometcr, in multiplicity
OF mechanical device, as that is beyond q
common hand saw.
