MAKING SHOES By STRAM.-The Haverhiil
(ldass. Publisher gives an account of
steam shoe factory in that place, for sewing
the seams and pegging shoes. The machine
~ is all worked by small five horsepower
engine. In the basement of the building
are the machines for cutting, stripping, roll
ing and shaping the soles. These are then
passed TO the story above, where the shoes
are lasted, and the outer sole tackled on by
hand, which process prepares them for pegg-
ing. The pegging machines are simple in
their construction and mode of operation,
but perform the work with great dispatch
and accuracy, driving the pegs at the rate of
Ia a second. One of the most curious oper-
atoms of the machine is the manner in
which it manufactures the pegs for its own
use. A strip of wood of the required width,
and neatly laid in coil one hundred feetin
length, is put into the machine, and at every
revolution it is moved forward, and a peg
cut off and driven into the shoe. The ra-
pidity and unerring accuracy with which
these machines perform their work is truly
astonishing. After being pegged, the shoes
are passed up to the third story, where the
bottoms are smoothed, secured and brushed.
The fourth story is occupied by the stitching
machines, tended by females, but run by
steam, which saves laborious and fatiguing
operation. --r a.s .

A Southern Tribute to MIR. Lincoln.

n southern TTzbuEe To 4G1E. Limo 01ns
Mr.. Lincoln, though decided Republican
and a complete exponent of the purposes
and spirit of the party, is not the object OF
those prejudices that attach to Mr. Seward,
his strongest competitor for the nomina-
ton. He is a man of ability, not equal to
Mr.. Seward in culture or in his experience
of public affairs, but is considered by many
as his equal in natural force of intellect
We heard one OF the discussions between
him and Douglas in the famous campaign
of 1858, and we certainly regarded him as
full match, at least, for that distinguished
politician. There are some things in the
personal character of Mr.. Lincoln which
will give him great popularity, il they do
not excite enthusiasm among the people.
Born of humble parentage, and passing the
years of his childhood, youth and early
manhood amid the hardships of the back
wooGs of Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois,
acquiring an education by his own labors
as best he could and gradually working
his way to distinction, his life has been one
we'll calculated to excite the admiration and
sympathy of voters, most of whom are
themselves working men. When TO this is
added the purity of his private life, the gen..
eral recognition of which has given him, ia
his own State, the soubriquet of g Honest
Old Abe, we are compelled to admit that
the Chicago Convention has nominated the
very hardest man to beat that it could pos
sibly have given us. ..- .a-.
Mr.. Lincoln's anteeedents were Whig
He was n warm friend and admirer of Mr..
Clay, and was, for many. years, the ac-
knowled9ad leader of the Wing party in II.

The question now is, al how is this ticket
TO be beaten ? We confess that in the di-
vid1d, distracted. and chaotic condition OF
all other parties, the problem is extremely
difficult of solution Paris Ky.) Cfkzeqs,

DRILLED WHEAT.-We have often pub
lished extracts from other papers showing
the superior advantages obtained by sowing
wheat in drills-advantage our farmers
generally seem to have but little idea of, or
they certainly would never SOW wheat
broadcast again. On Tuesday last we saw
one of the best fields of wheat, containing
ten acres, we have ever seen, on the farm Of
Mr. JOHN ELLIOTT, about one mile from
town. This wheat stands full Eve feet high,
thick, and headed out very heavily; while
other fields around and near to it, sown at
the same time and on equally good land,
look bad compared to it. II ,cds sotcn in
drills, which requires three gallons of seed
less per acre Than when sown broadcast.
Dir. ELLIOTT informed US he was confident
this field will yield at least forty bushels to
the acre, and we believe it will be hard to
find another piece of wheat in the country
to equal it. Indeed, SO certain is Mr.. Z. OF
the superiority of his wheat aud the manner
of culture. that he intends entering it at the
lext Fair, when, unless we are greatly mis-
taken, he will take the premium over all
competitors Farmers DESTROYS of observing
the advantages to be obtained by sowing
wheat in drills shonld visit Mr.. ELLGorT's
farm, where they can Judge for themselves.
-Nee Harmony Advertiser.
1t is strange, how some of our farmers
contend against the advantages to be de-
rived from drilling wheat, in the face of
evidence showing that the process Is GER
tainly beneficial. We have the experience
of the best farmers to prove that drilling
prevents freezing out and rust, facilitates
the formation of heavy grain, and requires
less seed than does the broadcast method.
Reasoning altogether from the assertions
OF farmers accustomed to drilling their
wheat, we believe wheat-drill is one of the
best machines that can be put on farm.

f ID ustc-Tne- Lang uaSe or the Heart
The following, from the Terre Haute En-
press, explains itself. The Address of Mr..
LANCE, judging from this extract, mnst, in
the native language Of the speaker, have
been mellifuous and transporting in the
highest degree. The eloquent orator has
here erystalized Music into the most ra-
diank l2ord-genls to use his excellent plen
of increasing the adaptation of our Ian
guage) and has turned out these sparkling
poetic and musical ideas with a profusion
worthy the mind of Schiller.
Mr.. LANCE has in his versatile mind not
only the elements Of poesy aud music, but
when 1t comes to delving in the intricacies
OF business, and marshaling together hosts
of matter-of-fact figures, he is perfectly at
home. For nearly q score of years has
he served the people of his county in the
most responsible public positions, to their
entire satisfaction. When the people of In
diana place him in the State Auditors Office
as the head and manager of the financial and
statistical interests of the Commonwealth,
he will be equal TO the occasion.
But we digress. Read the extract from
Mr. Lange's Grafton.
TERRE HAUTE, June l, 1860.
EDITOR EXPRESS Dear Sir.--I enclose
to you an extract from my Grafton deliver
ed on last Wednesday at the Fair Grounds,
on occasion OF the " Musical Festival of the
German Ssengerbund of Indiana" If you
deem it worthy of place in your paper, |
shall be amply recompensed for the trouble,
which the translation from the German
into the English language has given me.
Allow me at the same time, to remark, that
the German language uses perfect liberty in
the moulding of new words by the simple
process of placing two nouns together with
out any conjunctive particle, a liberty,
which occasionally occurs in the English
language thunderstorm, waterspout.) and
which to the unlimited increase of its wealth
of words might be extended dd minimum.
In the translation herewith handed you,
have ventured upon an experiment of the
kind in the words 'colorsounds, word
sound, and perhaps few more.
Very Respectfully.
ALBERT LANCE.
