Saving and Splitting Wood.

A day or two since our curiosity induced
us to drive down to witness the working of
the machine Of Mr.. Paynter. 1t il driven by
a ten-hOrse steam engine, that drives the saw
and the splitter. IA well ~ u saw capable Of
saving 1000 feet OF lumber per diem. A rail
way running between the engine and the
saw, extends out into the middle of the pile
of wood in the woodward; a hand-car plies
upon it, on which u cord of wood is loadcda at
o time, and a boy moves it backward and
forth between the circular saw and the wood
pile. The saw yer takes the wood, stick by
stick from it, and holds it to the saw, the
length cfthe cut being regulated by n guage.
The pieces cut, fall on to a table over which the
splitter works perpendicularly. Thissplitter
is c single wedge, kpiie-like, a foot long on
the edge; each time it descends it does sure
work, splitting the largest knots in the tough

ALEXANDRIA,:
WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL 20, 1859.

The sound sentiments Of Mr.. Thomas, the
Wing candidate for Congress from this Dis
trict, in relation to the protection of Ameri-
can Industry against the injurious competi-
ten and low wages of foreign countries. are
especially recommended to the consideration
of the intelligent farmers, mechanics, and
laboring men Of the district, in the confident
hope that they will regard their own inter-
ests. His policy, we believe, would build
up fourishing home markets. alexandria
among them for the purchase Of the pro-
duce of the Agricultural community, and
send up the smoke of a hundred furnaces
and FORCES, and set to work a hundred facto-
ries, in our country, where none now exist.
lie is for such a system as will bring us to
export more and import less, and for ena-
bling our working men to obtain fair wages.
and live in comfort, and not TO he forced to
eat the "black bread" Of the down-trodden
masses in Europe. 1t would make US indie
pendent of the fluctuations of foreign grain
markets, in some degree, by giving a popu-
lation at the doors Of the farmers to con-
sumo the wheat and corn that they raise,
and to take it all at the highest prices, with
out the costs and charges Of shipments to
England. 1t would keep our specie at home,
instead of sending it abroad to pay the man
ufacturers in Europe for the goods with
which they furnish US, and which We could,
and ought to, make in our own shops, in our
W cities. 1t is the policy of Henry Clay,
the best and truest friend among the states
men of America that our working people
ever had. 1t is the policy which will develop
the resources Of Virginia, and make her the
first State in the Union-which would make
her a great manufacturing, as she is now a
great agricultural State-and open her ports
to an exporting commerce, valuable and per-
manent, giving employment to all her indus
trious citizens.

At a recent meeting Of the Boston Natural
History Society. attention was called to the
corrosive properties Of Mexican guano. 1t
was stated that this substance in few hours
will destroy the bags which contain it; in a
day will render a cask rotten, and in the
course of a short voyage will 50 dissolve out
the oakum used in caulking vessels, as to
render them exceedingly leaky, as has been
proved in several Instances to the knowledge
of p. A. Stone. of Boston. 1t has been so al
tered by the action Of rain and sea water
that it presents an excess of phosphoric acid,
in the form of soluble acid phosphate oflime.
Whether this action is owing to free phos-
phoric acid, or to the presence of the animal
matter with it, is not satisfactorily determin-
ed. The anmonical guano, such as that from
the Chincha islands, has no such effect on
cloth or wood. This fact is worthy the at
tention of insurance companies.
