louisville Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.1
General Buell. has incurred great disp1easure
from many Of the Colonels Of regiments here,
because he refuses absolutely to see them and
hear their wishes and grievances. The General
hns had much difficulty in organizing the gari-
GUS regiments in this Department into brigades
and divisions, and he now holds that no person
has business with him except commanders Of
divisions, through whom all matter5 for his
consideration must come. The order is evi-
dently proper: The private must go to the
communicates with the brigade commander.
The brigade commander goes to the command
CT Of the division, who alone las audience with
the gencral commanding. This is certainly
soldierly and highly proper; butanother ques-
ton Of etiquette has arisen, and in consequence
an III feeling has arisen between the Command
ing General and his Division Generals, and it
Is this: General Buell. declines to consult with
these Generals as to his future plans, &c, and
will Dottahe them into his confidence any fur
tber than in matters appertalning to their re-
a1ion, organization, &c. The Division Generals
think they ought to be fully posted as to the
plans and future movements. so that, in the
event Of any misfortune attending the General
Commanding, they could proceed in executing
his plans. &C. Gen. Buell., on the other hand, !,
all they Eiu be required to do is the exc
ention Of his orders, and shon1d any
Division General succeed him, in any
event, to the command, then The plans,
movements, DC, will be found in writing
in the proper Office. Gen. Buell. is not
thorough soldier, will bt strict, just and exactr
ing. He will ncvcr toady to the good will o1
generals, colone1s or priyatcs, but Will require
obedience, and any failure on the part Of OH
GERS. or soldiers will be punished severely.

unapproachable and rigid policy, which, I con

Secretary Casse's recommendation for the

the abolition Of Rinecures, is well received st
Washington. In the Department Of Public
Printing, rctrenchmcnt has been made, and

The readers Of the TRIBUNE need not be
told that We look upon our relations with
Great Britain as exceedingly delicate The
Mason -SGdcu case being set aside, there
get remain between the United States and |
England causes, which, sooner or later, |
without fault on OUT part. or intentional
cause Of offence, would produce war. We
make all possible allowance for the ties Of
blood, language, commerce and social nstl-
tutions, about which so much useless elo-
quence has been expended, and VIC are
forced to confess that there exists, on the
part Of the aristocratic and mercantile
classes in England, reason for war more
potent Than all these reasons for
peace. The rulers hate our institutions
and their influence in English politics
John Bright and his Liberals, reaching out
for Democracy and better government,
are the skeletons in the political closets Of
the men who rule because their fathers
ruled before them; and the manufacturers
and merchants, dependent upon America
for cotton and market, who have hut two
hopes-to coin gold in trade and marry their
sons and daughters into the social circle
above them-these are the forces which gov
ern England: and from them we havenoth-
ingtohope. HMason and shdell were given
up tomorrow, and sent to British soil with
an apology as humble as q British trades
man would make for having been insulted
and cuffed by British lord, month would
not elapse before some other cause Of grief
would be sought out and discovered, Which
would serve their purpose just as well !;
and war would be the result We are
clearly Of the opinion that ne must fight.
And though, 10 vindicate our position in
the eyes Of the civilized world, we might.
in tue case under discussion, be content to
abide the mediation Of . third and friendly
power, we should do so with the assurance
that we were agreeing to a humiliation
that would not ward of The disaster thu,

The following excellent operation in banking
is told Of our Gen. Schoepf1, in Kentucky:
When the Gcneral arrived in the neighbor-
hood Of London, after the Wild Cat fight, he
found that zollicoffer had been leyying on tue
ton, &C., and fad paid them III confederate
bends. Initiating an example which Eeces-
sionists thought so unexceFtionable, General
Schoepff commenced levying on the secession
ists for similar supplies, Meantime be assem-
hlcd the Union men, and, opening an exchange
ing rules by taking the confederate bonds at
par, and Supplying the Union men with good
Ohio and Indiana money in its stead Then
when the secessionists presented their bills, he
paid them Ill off, with the utmost politencss,
in their own currency! They didn't know
enough to be thankful for the arrangement,
but that wasn't his fault.

Especial Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune,1
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16, 1861.
There is again prospect Of active scenes
at Lexington, this time the rebels being be-
sieged and not the Federals. The news pub
lished this morning brings Gen. Pfenti5s to
the opposite side Of the river with force Of
three thousand men, having thrown few
shells into the rebel camp. The rebels have
possession Of the ferry boats, and Prentiss Is
therefore unable to cross. This is IN nnex-
peeted movement, and If it turns out true, rs
reported in the Rez',sN'can Of this morning that
all is hustle and activity along the military
line above Jefferson City, 1t Is highly prooa-
ble that movement OF troops Is designed Tor

the safe arrival of two OF the North Carolina
soldiers captured at Hatteras some months
since, who, it says, escaped IN this way: They
first Recreted themselves on board the steamer
that bore them north, then, after some days
in port, they came out and footed it through
New jersey to Baltimore. Therethey shipped
on..board Chesapeake schooner, and when in
the Potomac river, near Aqua creek, stole d
boat and put themselves ashore, the Confed~

CULTIVATION and .iepaiation Of Flax In
IOEas

N0Mv0vkOu au0 ttpHI0SAO1 ~ TINA IN
eelcorrcspondence Of the Chicago Tribsne.,
FAIasIrID, Iowa, Dec, q, 1900
/ noticed IN your issue Of the 18th
inst, m article headed /" Flax Cotton
again" and agree with you fully, that at
this time this is a subject Of '~uatioual
importsnce"-on that is destined to
revolutionize, to great exteut, the cot.
ton interests Of our country, if not Of The
tho world. The agricultural classes of
the West cannot be too fully alive to the
Importance ofthe subject, as it is one that
interests them directly as producers. ---
Many of orr farmers have been in the
habit Of growing fax just for the seed !;
the straw havi. & been heretofore 'caste
a.tcle entirely. And if without too
much labor they can realize a handsome
price fer the straw, an impor.an. desider-
alum will have been gained, which will
make the fax crop orc Of the mos prof
liable they can raise, as well as equalIze
the prices OF Southern Gotten.
We have had in operation at this place
one of" Randals Breaks and a"Scutch-
er, or Buster" both manufactured III
Rhode Island, for the purpose of prepar
ing fax straw for the manufactory. The
process is as follows:
The fax is moved with an ordinary
scythe or moving machines. before j; Is
thoroughly ripe, aud is cured, III every
respect, the same as hay. 1t may thus
DO tLresh d the same as any ether grain,
the tangling of the straw not injurlng the
Che in the least. 1t is not necessary
that i, should undergo rotting process,
as it breaks equally as well without, the
uuly advantage of rotted over unrotied
straw being in the distance it may have
10 be hauled, as the former wei his about
one half less than the latter, there being
II corresponding difference in price.
The break separates tho woody portion,
or shaves into small PARTICLES, which are
removed by the buster. 1t is then ready
for baleins aud shipping to the manufac,
turer, where it undereoes cottonzlng
process. One ton of straw yields from
500 TO 1000 pounds of liutcrs. About
200 tons of the unrotted straw has been
engaged in the vicinity Of this place at
S. pei ton, by the party who has the
ceutrol of the machinery here. This is
Intended merely as an introduction to the
operations for next season, when larger
amount of machinery will be located here
for the purpose Of preparing the straw for
market Two of the same breaks are in
operation at Mt Pleasant, Henry county,
Iowa, with the sane success as here.
do not think that We can entertain a
doubt as to the success ofthis movement.
With Yankee ingenuity and Western
perseverance both interested, there 10
