BooT AND SHOE IrEM.-A patent has
recently been taken out in England for
making the leather upper Of shoes with.
out seams, SO as to save the expense Of
sewing, and at the same time obtain up
pers that are never affected with the rip
ping out disorder, which has become SO
common with uppers that arc sewed with
some machines. The method of making
the seamless uppers is to cut them out
the desired shape with the middle open
ing for the foot; then put each into .
mould, where it is pressed into proper
shape ready for the last on which to sew
the welt and sole. ,.

is THIS TREASON /?

Thurlow Weed is probably quite as
familiar with the plan Of the Administra-
ton, its operations and the results thereof,
as any man outside of official circles.
Hence the following from his pen in the
Ersnmg Journal, possesses deep signiii
cance, if nothing more
Actual war, all the seventies of which
have been visited upon Union men, has
existed for third OF a year, costing us
more than three thousand Rres and more
than hundred million dollars. The prosecu-
ton of the war call for still greater sac
rifice. Meanwhile business Is paralyzed,
property deprecated and labor mreqmitsd.
The enemy strikes wherever he finds a
weak or defenceless point. Ifa Union
visor is up, juvelin is thrust by it if q
seam is found in our armor, its wearer is
pierced. Priratsas, TO oar great sAans,
and great annoyance cruise Oith safety, cap
turing our merchant ships, and causing con
sternation IN our Commercial Cities. We
held Fort Sumpter, but allowed rebels, in
reach of its guns, to construct the forth,
cations and batteries to which it was sur
rendered. We hold Fort Pickeus, but in
reach of its guns, permit the enemy to en-
trench aud fortify
We have NAyY--a NAVY which, in
other wars, was not only our means OF
defence-our pride and glory-but the
terror of our enemies. What has that Ma.
ry done, or what is it doing, with effect,
in this war? Has it rendered the Block
ade efficient? Has it achieved glory, or
won laurels {? Where, along the extend
ed and exposed Coast of Rebellion, has
the Navy made its mark =? Where, or in
what way has it annoyed or harassed an
enemy who is constantly annoying and
harassing us
Is it not time, we ask earnestly, that
this war should assume all the features
and all the penalties of war Can the
Government afford, any longer, to invent
mitigations or indulge sympathies Life
and spirit must be impaired to this war,
and zeal and confidence restored, by a
radical reform in this respect. The enc.
my must be struck at wherever he can be
hurt. Exposed places invite attack all
along the coast. The Carolinas, Georgia,
Florida, &C., &c., either or all of which
States have harbors, villages and fields at
our mercy, are not even menaced and
instead of being obliged to defend themselrs'
they send their regiments TO beard w almost
in sight Of the Capital
Those who censure ~ for saying that
the Administration is slow, weak and in
efficient, and neglects to propitiate any
portion of the disaffected, whom it shows
itself so incapable of subduing, had bet
ter reserve few of their anathamas for
for Mr.. Weed and other sensible men of
the Republican persuasion" Grand

EsrITUTIoN-DEMAND FOR WORK.
AN APPEAL TO THE DECLARATION OF In
DEpENDENcE.-About 1000 Germans held
meeting at Harmonic Garden, New
York, on Wednesday last, to take in con.
sideration the suffering and destitution
now weighing SO heavily upon the labor
ing classes. A plan of organization was
submitted for general Workingman's
Uniou, in order to secure better condi
ton Of the working classes, and to pre-
vent such deplorable reverses as the pres
ent, overtaking them. The President o
the meeting, Mr.. Mitchell, contendine
that, taking the Declaration of Independ
ence, which declared that "all men were
borne free and equal" the working man
had the right to demand the necessarie'
of life at any time, and under all circum
stances. He said they would insist that
this right be recognized. If no 9th
er way existed, he would commence toar
upon the moneyed power This was re.
ceived with cheers. He said however
they wished to bring about these reforms
in a peaceful way.-A Committee OF
twelve was appointed to carry out the
objects of the Union. Arrangements are
to be made for grand procession of un.
employed working men marching through
the streets to the City Hall. ..r d.

GOV. SPRAGUE.

There is but one Democratic Governor
in the Northern States, and that Gov
ernor, (Sprague, of Rhode Island,) has
made his mark as Commander in-Chief
of the forces of his State, not by bravado
speeches, promises, or rewarding his par.
tizan friends with office, but by actual
service in the field. While the Republi-
can Governors were figuring in the ap-
pointment of Brigadier Generals, Quar-
termasters and Contractors, Gov. Sprague,
who, with every loyal Democrat, saw the
necessity of energetic and decided action
Immediately armed and equipped brig
ade, and accompanied by the gallant
Burnside, was among the first to proceed
to the defence of Washington. While
the Governors and Senators Of neighbor'
ing States went down to Washington
and Bull Run, to witness the slaughter
of the rebels and see them run, General
Sprague was upon the battle field, and
fought gallantly and bravely through the
engagement. The charge of the Rhode
Island Brigade at Bull Run, and the
brave conduct of its commander, are ap-
plauded by every loyal citizen. While
he did not advise the Forward to Rich.
mond" movement, he was at his post in
the advance, during that bloody and des'
perate battle.
The States of Ohio, Iowa, Maine and
New York, choose State officers this fall,
and because the Union Democracy pro-
pose to nominate and elect men, who,
like Gov. Sprague, are true to the Union,
and who refuse to coalesce with party
which is founded on the abolition ele'
ment, the organs of that party, with Gen.
Greeley at their head, howl about "seces-
sion Democratsp' and its fanatical and
demented followers charge Democrats
with " treason !" Out upon such big
oted tyrants such republican patriots
who think that all the loyalty, patriotism
and fidelity to the country, lies in the i'm.
maculate party to which they belong
Let them look to their Camerons, their
Welles', their paper blockade, and their
Government contract frauds, and then
tell us, with continuation of the ineffi-
cheney, imbecility and dishonesty of those
men, how long it will take to suppress
the formidable rebellion, and restore the
Union to its former peace and prosperity.

SWEDEN.

A peculiar embassy has lately made its
way to Stockholm. 1t consist Of five
peasants from Wormso ian island at the
entrance Of the Gulf of Finland,) who
have crossed the Baltic in an open boat
to appeal to the Swedish government for
protection against the wrongs which they
endure under Russian rule. 1t appears
that the island of Wormso, and several
adjoining ones, as we'll as couple Of par.
ishes on the main land, are inhabited by
a people who from very ancient times
have reserved their Swedish language
and manners. They possess certain priv
ileges secured to them by treaty between
Sweden and Russia, and have never been
serfs like their Russian neighbors on the
continent, but are called, in official docu.
ments, "free Swedish peasants"
For long period, however, the pro
prietors of the land have exerted them.
selves to the utmost to oust the free
Swedes, and to introduce serfs in their
stead. The proprietor of the island oi
Wsrmso is Baron Otto Won Stachelberg,
in whose family it has been since 174S
From that date to this very effort has
been made to turn the free peasants into
serfs, or rather slaves, and the present
baron has brought the system Of persecu.
tion to such pitch that the unfortunate
Swedes can endure it no longer. In his
capacity of hereditary proprietor the bar.
on is justice of the peace, and admins
ters justices justice, imposing fines, and
hauls to prison to his hearts content.
Complaints have repeatedly been made by
the Russian Government but hitherto
without effect, and the complainants have
only suffered the more in consequence OF
the representations.
Calling to mind an old saying of theirs
that when their need is greatest they
must look to the west for help, these sim.
pie people have sent deputation to
Stockholm to plead their cause. 1t il
hardly likely, however that they obtain
any redress from that quarter. Mean.
while the position of the five hardy mar.
iners is far from being pleasant one
Not daring to return to Wormso until
there is an Improvement in the state oi
affairs, they are at present living in their
boat, over which they have erected kind
of tent to protect them from the weather
The AftonbladS describes them as pri.
mitive people, with the Swedish speech
and manners Of 400 years ago, and pro-
verbal for their unsssuming honesty and
integrity.

WHOLESALE HANGING IN TExAs.-Ths

following
BY VIM. Wilson, mail carrier on tho
Gatesville route, we learn that on Thurs.
day 10Th inst, there were nine men hung
at the bead of Neill's creek, in Coryell
county. The circumstances, as we gath
cred, were abont these: A man named
Underwood, and three or four men nam
ed Barnes, with other persons, making in
all nine, had short time before, attack.
ed two men who had recently moved in-
to that county and had established stock
rancho. One of the men was killed and
the other horribly mutilated and left for
dead but he so far recovered as to crawl
to Gatesville. He gave information Of
the facts, and the people of the county
Immediately assembled together in great
numbers, arrested the nine men and
hung them all till dead. Much excite.

this whole matter. '-+
