A Good Thing in Leather.

Our friend, Mr., Isaac Bier6eld, of New
berry, has received a patent-and we be-
lieve the first issaed to a South Carolinian
for animportant invention and improve
ment in Tanning.
In the words of the Nswberry Sun, we
say: 'The ingredients used in this new
process makes the Leather fine and close
The specimens he las exhibited to us are
Of fine polish, and remarkably weighty

posed of large quantity of Leather tan

general satisfaction. He tells us that he
has found that he can tan leather from 40
to so per cent, cheaper than heretofore
The light stocks can be tanned in from ff-
teen to twenty days, and heavy stocks in
proportion. We consider this new process
of Mr.. Bierfeld of great and decided util-

in great abundance. Those engaged in
the business of Tanning would do we'll,

THE HEROES OF THE REvoLUTIoN-
The following extracts from the letters of
General Nathaniel Greene will be read
with interest ,-
"At the battle Of Eutaw Springs" writes
the General, "hundreds Of men were naked
as they were bora. Posterity will scarcely
believe that the bare loins Of many brave
men, who carried death into the enemy's
ranks at Eutaw, were CALLED by their car
touch boxes, while folded rag or some moss
protected their shoulders from sustaining
ths same injury from the musket.
In letter to the Secretary Of War, he
says; awe have three hundred men with
out arms, and more than one Thousand so
naked that they can be put on duty only
in cases of desperate nature. l have
been seven months in tho field without
taking of my clothes

knew how to answer, English impcrti-
nence and obtrusiveness. And now,
since his assumption of so much author
ity towards our Secretary of State and
our government, he has stopped to lee
ture upon constitutional law to our head
minister in the Cabinet, and to comment
ing upon the habits of our President in
the exercise of his executive duties, and
it is full time that he was taught that
plebeians are capable of a dignity that
patricians must respect. He came here
as L L D.. Russell came fully impress
sed with the idea that we were but semi
civilized people, and had no virtues, no
character, no moral dignity worth
while for an Englishman to regard. Rus
sell has been taught better, and VIC think
his Lordship feels differently since his
retort courteous from our Secretary of
State. Boston Post. .. ........

1t would be much pleasanter to the
good sense of Americans if British pre-
sumption could be confined to British
soil. 1t is not enough that the leading
press of England should give every pos
sible assistance toward bursting their
Republican bubble" should create an
undertone of public sentiment against us
in all the nations of Europe, but we must
be cuffed like an unruly school-boy by the
accredited Minister of England residing
in our capital. Must we bear it all, and
complain not? Is it so soon that foreign
powers see an imbccility in our divisions,
and begin to treat us as they would a mis-
erable Mexican or South American State?
Perhaps they think these things may be
done with impunity. We understand
Lord Lyons. He is is not great. No
man who had an ounce of true foresight,
Of common political sagacity, or of true
moral dignity of character, could have
leaned as he has leaned to the South side
view Of the rebellion, and given a. moral
support to the most wicked and causeless
war ever forced upon a civilized nation.
Some future Macauy will take care of
Lord Lyons littlencss, if his own contcm-
poraries do not. The aristocrats of Eng
land want authority to show that our
blockade is not cffectual, is impractical;
they quote Lord Lyons. They want ev-
ilence to show that our government is
distracted and divided, and therefore
weak; they quote Lord Lyons, They
want evidence to show that secession is
popular and respectable in the United
States; they quote Lord Lyons. Lord
John Russell wants authority to show that
We are in most miserable and pitiable
plight, one calling for the serious atten-
ton Of the British House Of Commons;
he quotes Lord Lyons. We would COM

n SOUTHERN Convention in Macon,
Ca, has passed resolution i'll favor of
the Southern Confederacy rendering un-
restricted free trade of all friendly ma
tions. This is intended as loud bid in
favor of England and France breaking
our blockade in order to avail themselves
of the privilege of having free ports and
free markets for their manufactures, of
which they stand greatly in need. Free
trade with one half the United States is
more favorable than trade with all of it
under a thirty per cent. tariff. 1t is very
likely that the Southern Government
may adopt the Macon suggestion, for
what is their tariff good for as long as
not a single vessel can enter or depart
from one of their ports? We have be-
licved ever since the war broke out that
they would sell out commercially to Eng
land and France if an opportunity oc-
cured, and that these Governments
would buy if they could make anything
bv it..

ANOTHER BURNING OIL WELL.-A
correspondent of the Buffalo Express
writes that on Wednesday last a fountain
well was opened on the Blood farm, four
miles from the mouth of Oil Greek, in
Vcnango county. A stream of oil four
inches through, spouted some sixty feet
into the air before the workmen could re-
move all their tools, and quick as light
ming burst into flame from the engine
fire. Up to Saturday it had been burn
ing with no diminution of force, per-
feet column of fire and smoke. No per-
sons were seriously, though some were
slightly burned by the explosion.

fcndant, though such a Government had
not been thus peaceably established and
maintained, had been impressed in the
hostile service of the revolutionary Gov
ernment and compulsorily detained in
such service. ri. '..-.' ...l-..-. .l,
s. As to the first of these two points, the
difficulty in the way of the defence is
that the Government of the United
States has not been subverted, and that
its authority IN the hostile districts, if
suspended, or at present superseded, is
not superseded by that of Government
which has at any time been peaceably cs-
tablished, much less by one which has
been maintained in peace. The Govern
ment of the States now Confederated for
purposes, hostile to the Constitutional
Union was not authorized without con-
temporancous outbreak of civil war. This
war has been continued without inter
ruption. The contest has been on their
part war against an established Gov
ornment, to which they owe allegiance.
So long as this Government exists, and
the contest is maintained, the peaceablc
establishment of the revolutionary Gov
ernment cannot be asserted.
As to the other point mean the
question of compulsion-the defence has
not sufficiently been made out in law
The mere fact, if it were proved that by
an act of legislation of the revolutionary
Government under whose power the de-
fendant resided, military or naval service
was required of every SUCH resident, un-
der pain of banishmcnt, or confscation
or excuse. Unless actual force was exer-
ciscd against him personally ly under Il rea-
sonable fear of death, or serious bodily
harm, the allegation Of compulsion cannot
be sustained. If he was, at first, impress
sed forcibly into the hostile service, the
Inference might be that his detention in
it was afterwards compulsory, so long as
he remained on board the armed vessel
in which he was subordinate. But
any such favorable infcrcntewould, even
in that case, be rcbuttcd by the proof
that, as prizcmastcr, he afterwards re-
maincd i'll the hostile service when he
was no longer subordinate.
The consideration of this point is, how
ever, not necessary, because there is no
sufficient proof that he did not at first en-
gage voluntarily i'll the hostile service.
The propositions of law stated by the
defendants counsel must, for these rea-
sons, be answered negatively. .4

IIIapOrtant TO Soldiers.

John Dunn, late private in Compa-
ny G, of the Fifth New York Volunteers,
lost his arm at the battle of Big Bethel,
in Virginia. in June last, He was disa-
bled by his wound from further service,
and was honorably discharged. He ap-
piled to the Government for the 500
bounty offered soldiers. Mr.. French,
the Auditor, refuses to sanction the pay
mcnt of the money, on the ground that
the act requires a full service of two
years, or during the war. 1t is contcn-
dcd, on the part of Dunn, that his term
of service has expired by the law rogula-
ting the discharge of soldiers disabled
while in the line of duty, and that it
could never have been intended by Con-
grcss that those who had distinguished
themselves by their bravery in the field,
and been rendered unable by their
wounds to continue longer in the service,
should be deprived of the bounty allowed
by the act.
Unless Congress changes the law next
December, large class of mcritorious
soldiers will be deprived of the benefit of

Bay- In ONE of the companies of
the 8th Wisconsin regiment, was a
young man under age, who enlisted with
out his fathers consent, and contrary to
his wishes. The father, farmer, resi-
ding in the northwestern part Of the
State, wrote several letters to his son,
while the regiment were in quarters at
Camp Randall, for the purpose Of per-
suading him to return. At last he wrote
him that he must come---that he had a
large amount of threshing to do-that he
could not afford to hire help, if it were to
be had, which was hardly possible, owing
to the number of recruits--and that he
must return home and help him, even if
he enlisted again afterward.
The young man replied:
