Flax Cotton Against King Cotton.

A private letter from Boston thus speaks
of the recent invention for "Aaxins out"
king cotton -
There are now in operation in this city
experimental works for the manufacture Of
flax fibre into material called fibrilia, or
flax cotton. This can be produced in any
quantity at between seven and eight cents
per pound, and the cloth made from it is
better in every respect and will take and
preserve colors better than cloth made from
cotton. The raw material, fax wild or
cultivated, can be and is produced in Can
ada and all the northern states in vast
quantities. Colonel Lander, in one of his
recent reports speaks of coming TO plains
covered with immense quantities of this
plant growing wild. Now here is an article
which even now can be had in quantities,
so that IFS material can be produced at from
two to three cents per pound less than cot
ton, which makes better cloth, and which
is destined to supersede cotton. Slowly but
surely the parties owning the patents for
the process for the manufacture of this art
icle are working it into the attention of our
people.
The mill first started to manufacture cloth
from this material will be the most danger
Gus anti-slavery society in the world.
With this l send you some of the article
and some of the cloth made from it also a
pamphlet describing it. Some people are
looking to this matter as offering solution
to the slavery question. Napoleon l. offer
ed one million francs to any one who would
invent machinery to manufacture fax by
spinning it into cloth."-N 7. Post.

A New-YOrker Lynched in Georgia.

10 the Editor Of The ~ 7. Tribune:
SIR: "He's an Abolitionist." Let this
remark be made-it matters not whether it
is true or false-of Northern man, and
ten chances to one if the person against
whom the charge is made is not Immediately
Lynched, or at least treated with coat of
tar and feathers. Such is the report brought
by w-Yorker, just returned from
Georgia, and who only escaped Lynching by
the retraction of the expression made use Of
by his accuser. Over-hearing the New
Yorker referred to (Col. Vedder) giving an
account of how he was treated on one oc-
casion by the Chivalry of the South, l will
give it as near as possible in his own words.
A short time before he left Macon, Geor-
gia, Che returned on the last steamer from
Savannah) where he was on business, Major
Bumell, friend of Col. Vedder, also a
stranger, as well as the Colonel in Macon,
while conversing with several persons, was
insulted by an individual of no character,
by the name of Dick Peltier, and South
Carolinian, and also stranger in Macon.
The insult the Major resented, and Peltier,
out of revenge, Immediately circulated the
story that both Major Bumell and Col. Ved-
der were abolionists, and said that he "in.
tended to get drunk that night and raise
h--ll." This occurred about 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. Peltier with plenty of
whisky, soon drew party around him who
were ready for anything. About 9 o'clock
that night, which was dark, Col Vedder,
leaving his hotel came upon this party
near the depot in the lower part of the
city. As soon as he approached them, num-
bering then about thirty persons, they ae-
cusa,ion him of being id Aboli-
ZIONIST" This accusation he denied, declar-
ing that he would put thousand dollars in
in the hands of the city authorities, to be
appropriated as they chose, ie he could not
prove himself innocent ofthe charge. The
mob, however, would not listen to reason.
make an example of himw "Here's a
rope| "Take him to the wood !" There
comes the train let us lay him across the
track were among the expressions shout
ed. He was Immediately seized, thrown to
the ground, and violently choked, while one
attempted to put rope around his neck,
and another to bind his feet.
When the innocent victim of this hellish
outrage had become speechless, and some
one cried out: sFor Gods sake have
mercy on the mamie talks fair" the
seoundrel Peltier informed them that he
know nothing against Col. Yedder, and that
they had got the wrong man. He was then
raised from the ground, and ordered TO
leave the city within twenty -four hours.
This be refused to do, unless they could ac-
cuse him Of something which he could not
prove to be false.
After letting Col, yedder 60, the mob
went in search of Maj. Bumell with the full
determination of hanging him, which they
would undoubtedly have done had they
found him.
