BONES IN New YoRK.-The price
paid for bones varies according TO
quality. Thigh bones Of ,bullocks are
made into handles of tooth brushes, and
are of the most value, being worth ten
or twelve cents apiece. The jaw-bones
rank next, and sell for $18 per thous-
and. The "short" bones, which are
thrown from the family table, are worth
so cents per bushel. A Mr.. Greene,
in NewY ork, pays 800 daily for bones,
and there are many in that city who
are engaged in the business who pay an
equal amount. Ok hoofs are worth
$40 per ton, horse hoofs, and sleeps
hoofs, and horns, SIS per ton. On
the arrival of the bones at the factory,
thigh and jaw-bones are sawn SO as to
admit Of the removal of the marrow
Then they are thrown into a vast caul-
dron, and boiled until all the marrow
and fatty substances are extracted
The fat is then skinned off and placed
in coolers and the bones are deposited
in heaps for assortment. The thigh
bones are placed in one heap for the
turner's, the jaws and other bones suit:
able for buttons are placed in SECOND
pile the bones suitable for bone black
come No. 8, and the remainder, are
around up for phosphates and manures'
Bone black is used by sugar re6ners,
and is worth % and 81 cents pound
sstuart's refinery pays $4,000 annually
for this article, and each Of the other ter
reineries pay nearly the same amount
Mr.. Greene realizes about $4,000 pei
annum for soap fat produced by bone

THE ErFEc 1T,

The following letter from one of the largest
wholesale shoe houses in this city, countermanding
standing orders for goods from the North, is only
one Of hundreds of Others similar in their charac-
ter, which have been written from New Orleans
since the result of the Presidential election was
ascertained. The language of the letter is mild
but frm-and the spirit which prompted it is as
deserving Of oil praise, is the example worthy of
imitation. If Northern manufacturers, who make
war upon our section and our institutions, expect
to continue profitable trade relations with the
South, they will find themselves most egregously
mistaken:
Messrs BRisroL HAII, New Haven, Conn
tfenHelRen--Ne regret very much to say to y0u
that the course of late political events has com
PEELED US to countermand all our standing orders
with your house; and you will therefore please
ship nothing more to US, unless we send you
special order.
We embrace this opportunity to say, gentlemen
that up to this time our business correspondence
with your house has been highly satisfactory to us
and that nothing but the untoward circumstances
alluded to above, would have interrupted our
business relations with you. Prudential motives
prevents US from assuming any new responsible
itiy in the present state Of affairs We are further
impelled in the course we have taken, by proper
sense of what we consider due to Southern inter
est, and we have determined that henceforth we
will deal with no firm that has not friendly feel
ing towards the South and her institutions.
We are happy to say that we have heretofore
considered you as good constitutional Union men.
If, however we are mistaken in regard to your
political standing and you favor the so-called
Black Republican party, we hope you will candidly
say SO to US, for we now canddiy say to you, that
we intend to confne our dealings to those houses
and firms that have just and proper appreciation
of the rights of the Southern States.
Should dawn of better things appear for the
spring trade, it will give us great pleasure to re-
sumo our business transactions with you, provided
you agree with us in the sentiments we have ex-
pressed in regard to Southern rights.
In conclusion, we will say that up to this time
we have been Union men, and our motto has been
Union for the sake Of the Union;' but henceforth
our motto will be Union Of the South for the de-
fence of the South.n
Hoping to hear from you by return of mail we
remain respectfully,

The following letters explain themselves. Itwas
hardly necessary for MIR. Gilman to expose the ri
diculous assertions, and to rebuke the sectional in
science and arrogance of an old man who has
grown rich mainly by selling his wares to Southern
people. But, inasmuch as Mr.. Gilman has under.
taken the task, everybody will agree that he has
performed it most skillfully and effectively:
To s. H. Gilman, New Orleans.
Sa'-To accommodate your old friends, Burrows
u hemble, lent them money, to be paid me from
sales of their mills. ] sent them to my agents. and
directed them, as desired by Burrows 4 Kemble to
hand them over to you. You refused even to take
them on storage from Republican State. Fortu-
nately we sustain the South in our small county of
Hamilton; four State does also) if not, your lead
ing rebellious State of South Carolina, who leads
the van, has q population nearly as large as our
county; and we could, if so inclined to act, crush
down your sister State, with the loss of but few
lives; as the Congoes. when notified of our ap.
proach, would do all of the numbering necessary.

P. sTomeet their views hope You winow take them and

An Indignant Syifc7s Retaliation upon a
FFee-Leye Husband.


The Cleveland (0.) Plaindealer relates this story
in its usual elegant (?) style: w-..5
An influential man, who resides near Cuyahoga
Falls, has been absent from home good deal dur
ing the past year. he told his wife he went off to
buy cattle. He never brought any cattle home
with him. and his wife wondered what under the
sum- he did with them. Women are generally
sharp. Hperhaps has never occurred to some pee.
Pile, that women know few things. And this par
ticuiar woman, in the course Of time snufed a
large mice. She positively ascertaned, indeed
that her husband was mingling with loose crino.
line in several adjacent places, and that buying
cattle" was false and wicked pretext. She was
indignant, but she did not arise and howl.
0nreturning from cattle buying (''in my minds
eye, Heratfo') tour, not long since, the man was
rather surprised not to find his wife at home and
was somewhat more surprised to learn that she
had been absent for three days, and was good
deal more surprised to learn that she had gone off
with man with black whiskers. He started in
pursuit. He secured the country round. At last
he met her. She was in buggy with Mr.. Whis-
kers. They were returning home. 'tWhere in ---
have you been, Maria?n shouted the husband
boiling with indignation. ooh, I've been off buy.
ing cattle!n ahe sweetly replied, while Mr.. Whis.
kers lashed the horse into furious pace and they
dashed away.
There was reconciliation, but we do not know
how i was brought about, but of the truth of the
principal features of this item there is no doubt
The man don't go off buying cattle nowadays. In

How He SUPPORTED HIM.-During the Scott ard
Pierce campaign in '52, the little town Of s., in
New Hampshire, was the scene of many a stout
debate between old Squire Lefferls, who went the
entire animal for Scott, and gentleman named
Merchant, who bet his pile on handsome Frank
Pierce. Now, Merchant held the position of county
clerk, and had married one of the Squre's daugh-
ters, while the Squire himself had always voted
the Democratic ticket before. Though The best Of
friends in private lfe they were awfally bitter on
each other while in the political field, until the
Squire used up his political opponent as follows !:
It happened that Merchant spoke for Pierce one
day. and poked such an extremely sharp stick at
old Leferts, that the latter got up Scott meeting
tile following night, on purpose to retaliate. The
meelIng was strongly attended and the Squire
pitched into Merchant with prodigious emphasis
4 Yes, feilow-oitizens,' said he and this is the
man that dared to insult the good sense Of this com
mnnity by running for an honorable office not quite
q year ago. He The old gentleman had lis

in the crowd, bawled ont; Squire Lefferts sup

his mind, and ne spoke: Fellow citizens = said

Mr.. Hiitor-The Breckenridge ticket at the lat,
election in this city for President received q!
votes. But one other regular ticket was run--tht
Bell and Everett-which received 60 votes. With
SO large preponderanoe for Breckenridge there
could be but little excitement, and the election
passed off quietly and with result which helps tc
swell the Breckinridge majority in the State to
near 40O0. We do not learn that any Of our Gov.
ernment officials have resigned their places, and
we presume that all will hold on until the 4th Of
March. Lincoln's election has certainly cast o
gloom upon the city, and the attention Of all is now
anxiously directed towards North Carolina and her
statesmen 1t is believed here that Florida will be
governed in her actions by South Carolina and
| Georgia. It is probable that she will join the
| Southern Confederacy, it one is formed.
| The u. s. Marshal has sold the materials saved
from the lost ship Cerro Gordo, but the damaged
cotton remains unsold. The absence of the Ad-
miralty Judge prevents the arrangement of the sal
wage, and no order for the sale of cargo win be
issued until his arrival There are several cases Of
salvage awaiting his return; also, the trial OF the
