A Blu LII OF RECOMMENDATION.

Joshua r.. Giddings has addressed q letter to
Ex-Governor Corwin, reviewing his Aenia speech,
and formally excomm unicating him from the Re-
publican party. Whether Mr.. Corwiu will stay
accommodated, is rather questionable, for we
think he hardly recognizes Mr.. Giddings as au-
thorized to bind hand and foot, and cast over the
party walls, either the real or fancied %violators OF
party principles or policy. We hardly think he
has resigned the Congressional seat to which the
s~uffrages of Republicans elected him, nor has he
since abstained from stumping it for the Republi-
can ticket, nor have we heard that his reception
by Republican audiences is less enthusiastic than
before.
We are rather inclined to believe that Corwin
told the truth when he declared that nineteen twcn-
tietbs of the Republicans of Ohio hold with him
the views which Mr.. Giddings considers so great
ly ct variance with Republican orthodoxy; and we
suspect the excommunicator will find that in this
matter he is like the old gentleman in the jury
box, who complained sadly Of the unreasonable
ness and immovable obstinacy of the eleven jurors
with whom he was associated.

H TWO MURDERS.

On the night of Saturday last, Elisha 7. Ster-
ling, o we'll known and prominent business man
of Cleveland, Ohio, was found dead or dying upon
the streets of that city. circumstances point to
murder as the means by which his death was ac-
much excited in regard to the matter. and the
searching investigation which has been instituted
will probably lead to the detection of the criminal,
and his condign punishment.
The adjoining State Of New-York has also re-

one individual only, but of many. SO far as the
facts have been ascertained, they are briefly these,

horribly mangled.
Intelligence of the event was instantly commu-
nicated throughout the State, but strange to say,
it appeared to produce but little excitement. AL
though the perpetrators of the crime are well
known. we have not heard Of any efforts heipg
made to bring them to justice, which is owing
perhaps to the fact that they all occupy a high
position in society, being gentlemen of property
and standing. And yet professor Webster Of
Mass. was hung for a less crime.

THE LAST RAILROAD MASSACRE.

The massacre at Schaghticoke by the Directors

was in no gense and in no measure an accident"

murder. The evidence al goes to the same point.

would not have been drawn to the fact unless it

intending to patch a structure, never fit for its pur-

and still know of other bridges on this road sim

not to ask whether this or that man be in fault
whether the calamity could or could not have been
prevented. The blame cannot be shifted upon a
sudden freshet, as at South Bend, or a careless
engineer or fagman, as at Norwalk. The Compa-
ny cannot ascribe the event to a single. exception

crime upon providence" The Superintendent

The 6 o'clock down train of the Albany and

The bridge is a single span Of about 100 feet, at a

the attendance-especially in the evening-was
large. Notwithstanding the f-osts of June, there
was a very good display of the different varieties

A PRO-SLAVERY SOCIETY.

Though there is no lack of these among the
church organisations, yet a distinct. specifically
pro-slavery society is something Of a rarity. But
they have one in Alabama, as witness the follow
ing Preamble and closing article of the Constitu'
ton Of the "Southern Rights association of Ala
tama."
We, the citizens of the State of Alabama, whose
names are hereto subscribed, agree to form a So
ciety for the protection and maintenance of the
institution Of slavery, against agitators and enc
mics at home and abroad, and the rights of the
slave holders under the Constitution and laws Of
the country. to be called the Southern Rights As
ISOLATION of Alabama. D..
The object of the Society is declared to be, to
defend the institutions Of the State by all lawful
means ; and for that end, we will foster. as far as
We can, enterprises for the promotion of the pros
perity Of the South, and men living amohg us,and
rue TO the Southern people, while we will dis
courage and oppose enterprises hostile to the in
tsrests Of Southern States. and discountenance
those who aid, or abet, or cherish such enter
prises.
ANY citizen or resident of the State Of Alabama
may be a general member Of this society and any
friend Of the South may be elected an honorary
member.

GREELEY's OLD HAT AT DENVER CITy.-Tbe
world has heard something of G~reeley's old hat,
the everlasting companion of "the old white coat"
and the "blue cotton umbrella" There is q ira
dition that Greeley does not change his garments,
but there is reason to believe this to be a mistake.
We actually saw hita, some years since, wearing a
sleek new black hat, and coat to correspond. But
a great portion of the "populace" have not been
enlightened to this extent. They think the same old
hat and coat adorn the person of the white-coated
philosopher forever and ever. A gentleman, di-
rect from Denver City, informs us that intense sur
prise was manifested among the miners in that
region upon finding in Mr.. Greeley's cabin after
he had set forth to meet his friend Brigham at
Salt Lake, a dingy, weather-beaten caved-in old
bat which had seen severe service over the faxen
hairs Of Horace. 1t Immediately became a Curl
osity, a relic of rare value. 1t was the great orig
inaT "Greeley's old hat" The keeper of the near
est bar, the one from which Horace made q speech
against intemperance, procured the article and
hung it up over the shelf holding his decanters,
and, terrible to relate, at latest aGvices, every
man who takes a drink at that establishment is
obliged to put on the hat and walk around the
room, before he is allowed to have his bitters,
which must be taken while the drinker stands
under the venerable tile. The relic had also 6gur'
ed on a pole at an Indian war-dance, the imagina.

something equivalent to it, of the great chief oil

Manufacture of Steel Pens.

Every school boy reccollects having
seen the name Of Joseph elliott on steel
pens. A letter from Birmingham, Eng
land, Describes the mandatory where
they are made. They now sell at sixty
cents gross whereas, when their man.
ufacture first commenced, they brought
$S5 for the same quantity. The letter
says:
"The steel comes mainly from Sheffield,
in thin strips of about three inches in
width, aud is first submitted to rolling
process to reduce it to the required
thickness for pens. This is done by boys
and men in sort of basement, where dust
and grease seem to be abundant. The
other rooms are generally airy and spa
cious. aud girls and young women, the
employees, numbering FIVE hundred in all.
The successive steps il the manufacture
are very interesting. One machine
and they are all light in their construc-
ti9n-cuts the pen from the steel strip
another stamps it with the manufacturers
name, another bends it, another splits the
point, and scores of small, buzzing grind
stones, from which, by contact with the
pen, streams of sparks are emitted, are
grinding the pens at the point and along
the back, to give them the spring which
is necessary.
" This is considered the most import
ant operation, the onesson which.the value
Of the pen is most dependent. The tenn
pering process comes next. The pens are
placed in small metallic boxes, and sub.
mitted to an intense heat in great oven.
They come out almost as malleable as
putty. Another application of heat re-
verses this state, and makes them too
brittle for use, while third applied in
