cred method by which he produces sterling
silver at a cost of about seventy-fve cents per
ounce, and that company is forming to
work the discovery ON a profitable scale. The
appliances required are certain chemical
preparations and galvanic apparatus of sufi-

There Is good deal Of anxiety in Republican
circles concerning the Presidents health, and the
effect upon il Of his sinner Of doing business. He
has no system or method whatever, but allows his
time and strength TO be exhausted in listening to
ofBco-seekers, and doing other drudgery which be-
longs 10 the Departments. Until Wednesday NOR
ming he had not even taken q ride for recreation.
From six in the morning until long after mid
night, he permits himself to be made the passive
victim Of the thousands who would readily sacri-
fee his life and the safety Of the nation 10 their
own selfish eagerness for Office. This Of ac-
ton can have but one result.
One Of the many clerks who resigned their Off
ces here from patriotic motives, and went to
Montgomery to tender their services to the South
ern Confederacy, has written to his friends here
that that government is mo great shakes after all.
He and his compatriot applied for Office, and did
not get anything but a vague promise. He says
that there are five times as many applicants for

ment there here, and that the town is so be-

That the present attempt of the cotton

Southern Confederacy:
at is the eleventh-hour men Of disunion, your
Memmingers, your Cobbs, your Toombses, your
Yale and Houmas Benjamin, and the Elects, that
are now brought forth to carry out the program
me made last summer at Charleston, where the
disappointed agreed to break up the government
they found they could no longer control, and es-
tablish another, which would constitute them
permanent masters Of the situation. This they
are now attempting and the adoption Of the
abominable tariff Of the north and the stigma
they have reafixed TO the African slave trade,
perfect freedom Of which was the dearest wish
and hope of every sincere socessionist, are the
evidences of their betrayal Of the honest sup
porters Of revolution

also, that every sincere secessionist wishes
perfect freedom for the African slave trade,

CLOTH Mile LoNG.-The Manchester
Nh Mirror gives an account of a roll Of cloth
woven a the Stark Mills, which contained
1905 yards, OF over a mile Of cloth without
seam or particle Of sewing The object of
weaving cloth to such great length, is that
it can be printed at much less expense than
If cut NJ in the usual lengths, as the differ
ont rieCes OF cloth otherwise must ua sewn
together, while the seams often disarrange
the apparatus and cause considerable damage
by mixing colors. As looms have been con
structed heretofore, 1t has been impossible to
weave cloth to such great length, as the
edges are stretched to q greater extent than
the central portion of the web. Mr.. Gilmore
has constructed an ingenious apparatus for
obviating this difficulty, which will roll five
miles Of cloth much nicer than it is usual to
roll hundred yards
