DowAGIAC MANUFACTURES. :

DowAGIAC MANUFACTURES. = THE
HKRsDos MLL-This mill, large FIVE story
building, is located on the Dowagiac Greek, from
whence motive power is derived, about eighty rods
from the r. R. Depot, and is owned and run by
G. A. Colby Brother We visited the mill on
Tuesday last and spent an hour very pleasantly in
examining the various machinery in operation.
The mill is by water power, four of the central
discharge wheels being used, each of which run
separate pieces of machinery, and in defiance of
icy demonstrations of winter the heat of summer,
is continually at work, moving the vast machinery
of the establishment being perfect type of your
true temperance man, using nothing but cold water.
The mill contains four of stone, and turns out
from one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred
and fifty barrels of -four per day. Three run of
stone being kept constantly grinding first quality
of -four, and the other-a pony stone" being kept
on second quality. No custom work is done at
this mill. 1t would occupy more space than we
have to spare for to 60 into description of the
various and complicated machinery used in this
establishment, in raising the wheat to the various
bins, cleaning it, flour different machines being
used,) boiling and cooling the -four, and finally
packing it into barrels for which last purpose one
of Moves celebrated Patent Flour Packers is used.
Suffice it to say that the mill is complete in all its
departments and every thing about it is arranged
with aview to labor-saviug One piece OF mechan-
ism we noticed particularly, was machine invented
aud manufactured by the Messrs Colby, called
'Golby's indicator" for registering the number OF
barrels of -four packed each day. ltregisters from
one barrel to ten thousand and it would be d;fcut
70 conceive of more ingenious and useful con-
trivance- The Aour manufactured by the Messrs.
co'oy' Is OF superior quality and reminds us very
mucn OF the tennessee Valley wheat -four. Having
oeen favored NTH sack of this -four, we can add
our 'esu"ons as TO its excellence to that of hun
dreds OF others who are daily using it, The bread
manufactured from it is white, light and entirely
tree from specks. The business done at this mil,
amounts to about So, 900 per year
In connection with the " Herndon Mills, is the
cooper shop Of James P. Wiley, where ten men are
kept consta atty employed, who turn out from one
hundred to one hundred and Twenty-Five barrels
per day.

: Including two reported "mIssing."-

From the Richmond Examiner, Sept. 2
Retaliatory Law of the Confederate
WORCESTERSHIRE of all Yankee
Property I'm the SOuth-COnfederaIe
and state stocks Excepted.
Congress did not adjourn until very late
Saturday night; but we have obtained copy
of the very important bill passed by it to-
wards the adjournment for the sequestratiOn
of all Yankee property in the South.
II will be seen, from the provisions of this
act, that by means of sequestratiOn, the
Confederate States Government has taken
under its control all the Yankee properly
and effects in the States of the Confederacy.
The bill only differs from con6scation bill
in therparticular of holding this property for
particular ends, subject to claims for indem-
nifty and to the future disposition OF the gov
ernment.
There can be no exaggeration of the ex-
tent aud importance of this law. The very
best opinion, as developed in the vie rs of
Congress and gathered from intelligent f.
nancial estimates, is that the Yankee proper
~ in the South sdbject to the provisions OF
the bill-including mortgage interesls-will
not fall short of three hundred millions of
dollars.
1t is singular fact that majority of the
city real estate in the South is owned by
Yankees. In the city of New Orleans alone,
ills estimated that there is fifty millions of
real estate owned by Yankee aliens, aud COM
ing under the operations Of this bill.
The bill is of such extreme length that we
cannot find room for il in our columns to.

Is very full, and we believe complete in every

The New Federal Treasury Notes.


The first issue of the small Treasury notes
was made on Saturday and has already en-
tered into circulation, aud we understand
that some of our tradesmen refused to take
them except at discount, which may have
be n the result of ignorance on both sides.
We will therefore explain that there are two
kinds of Treasury notes.-the Demand Bills, -
for general circulation, and without interest.
and the Treasury notes which bear 3-IOths
per cent interest, redeemable in three years.
The denomination of the Demand Bills /"
are So, $40 and $40, while those bearing in
terest are $50. 500, $500, 81 900 and SIS 900.
There are five kinds of five dollar notes,
payable on demand in New York, Boston.
Philadelphia, st. Louis and Cincinnati, and
of course, for all business purposes, are better
than specie. The name of the place where
the note is redeemable is engraved on the
face. The So note is embellished on the left
margin with full length figure of Crawford g
America" with the motto "E PEuribus
Un1zl," and on the right portrait of Alan
der Hamilton.
There are also five $40 notes, made re-
deemable as above. On the left is a likeness
of President Lincoln; in the centre the
American eagle, and On the right a full length
figure representing the arts. These notes
have been put into circulation. In the GEN.
tire of the $50 notes there is a full length fig
ure of Justice. They are also redeemable at
the places above indicated. They are all a
little larger than the ordinary bank notes,
aad being redeemable on demand will be
highly priced as a circulating medium. and
therefore holders should net submit to any
shave.

Lincoln Thinks the X entucky Peo-
pie will get used TO IL.

1t is said, that in reply to frank and
manly statement of the condition of affairs
In this State, and an honest and patriotic ap-
peal to have the Federal camps here remov-
ed, by the Commissioners recently appointed
by the Governor to visit the President in re-
florence to the neutrality of Kentucky, the
President said, in allusion to statement that
the people would not submit to the occupa-
ton of the State by armed men, ..Ohl Ken
tucky reminds me of the man who complain
ed to his shoemaker that his shoes were so
tight he could not wear them, to which the
shoemaker replied, That one could not tell
whether bis shoes could be worn or not until
be had tried them on five or six times Ken
lucky does not know what she can bear un-
I'll she has tried IT."
And that is the secret of the policy of the
Administration towards Kentucky. They
believe she will wear any kind of a shoe if
10 il only drawn on by degrees. And so they
have gone on step BY step, from one thing to
another, until they have one camp of seven
Thousand men at HOSkins' Cross Roads, and

law, and confiscation proclamations will be

CHARACTERIzTIc PROGRESS OF TIE INvA-
DERs--A friend who reached this city direct
| from Newbern, N. c., on Sunday, informs us
that it was currently aud confidently reported
in New bern on Friday, that the invaders un-
der Gen. Benjamin f. Butler, had attacked
Portsmouth. Oregon Inlet, Ocracoke and
Beacon Island, burning all the buildings and
destroying every thing as far as possible.
The inhabitants along or near the coast ex-
pected the maraGding and plundeIing inva-
ders to extend their efforts as far as Beaufort
and Fort Macon. Prepations were busted in
sending off non-combatants aud movable pro-
perry towards the interior, and gathering
forces to meet and repel or check the plum
derers and thieves. Two regiments (Cols.
Campbell and Singletary,) each LOCO strong,
had reached Newborn.
Whether fully confirmed or not by subse-
quent advices, these reports are probable and
characteristcally prophetic of what may be
expected whenever and wherever the Lincoln
hordes are permitted to pollute Southern soil.
Let our friends all along the coast take
warning in time, and prepare in prudence to
leave the assailants and invaders as little
magin as possible for their destructive van
dalism, and to oppose to them the best de-
fence possible in men, ammunition and de-
fensive works and resources.
Above all let no opportunity be offered for
any spy or cowardiy traitor (wheter under
pretext of excessive zeal for MS or other dis
guiss) to communicate information and in
struction TO the enemy. Charleston Courier, I'd.

Effects OF the War on the Manufac-
turing Interests of France.
A Paris letter of the 10th SAYS:

The American war causes great deal OF
misery here. The great silk, velvet and por-
celian factories have discharged one half of
their workmen, while the manufacture of ar
ticles of luxury, bronzes, &c, are likewise
affected. A packer, who lives in the Fau-
bourg St. Antoine, assured me the other day
that bis business was quite at stand still.
He said that where hitherto he employed
thirty-four men, he now has two. "There are
no goods to pack up now" said he, despond-
ingly; "the Americans only think of cutting
our goods"
The factories that need cotton have been
given somehow to understand that the needf,lI
