--Boston Jan. 3--To-
day, Gov. Banks delivered his valedictory to
the Legislature. He recommended the abio-
CATION OF the Personal Liberty Bill. A large
crowd of citizens were present.
Gov Banks concluded his address by deny
ing that there can be peaeeable secession
The Government cannot be dissolved at the
bidding of any dissatisfied State, nor can that
portion OF the continent occupied by the Amer
lean States, be portioned out to hostile nations.
The interior States will never allow the
Keys OF the Continent on the guilt and ocean
shores to pass into the hands of an enemy, nor
can maratlme cities or States exist independ-
ent OF the plantation or farming interests Of
the interior. He did not, however, anticip pate
ire American Government. He doubted not
that the same Power that has protected US
hitherto, will preserve US hereafter.
MIcHIGAN.-Detroit, Jan. 3.-The Michi-
gan Legislature met at Lansing yesterday
The retiring Governor delivered his annual
message, aud takes strong ground against the
right of secession; charges the President OF
the United States with msrepresenting the
principles of the Republican party, and atlrlbu-
tes the present sectional excitement TO mis-
representa- ton by the Northern Democratic
press, as to the intentions and designs of their
party.
PEN MAKING The process of making steel
pens is thus described:
A strip of thin sheet steel Of the proper
width and thickness is first prepared, by care.
full rolling AMI annealing. In this state it is
ready to be cut into pens by means OF press
in which are fitted the proper tools for cutting
out the blanks The use ofthe press is to give
regulated amount of pressure to the tools
fitted to it. Two pens are cut out of the width
of the steel, the broad part to form the tube
and the points are cut to such a nicely, thai
there is but little waste. The blanks are now
taken to be pierced and the little central hole
and the side slits are cut by another press
These semi-pens are now placed in an anneal
ing oven to make them softer, after which
they are marked, by the aid of die worked BY
the foot. which stamps the name of the make
on the back. The half.fnished little instru
ment is then placed in groove, and by ma
chine converted from q fiat to cylindripa
form. This is called raising the metal. Th,
pens are again placed in the maffle, packed il
small from boxes with lids, and heated to
white heat. They are then withdrawn, ant
suddenly thrown into large vessel Of oil
where they acquire brittleness that make
them almost crumble at the touch. The mex
process is cleaning, then follows tempering
which restores the pen to the required elasti
city, and is accomplished by placing them in
large tin cylinder, open at one end. and turne
over fire in the same manner that coffee
roasted. To these operations succeed the fins
process of cleaning, securing, grinding an
Sitting, all of which are very simple.

GEN. Pillow UNFORTUNATE AGAIS.-
Pillow. late General in the rebel army, made
a mistake at Memphis, which was neuriy as
unfortunate as his famous ditch IN Mexico
Parson Brownslow tells the story in the
Knoxville Wing -
Previous to Gen. Pillow being superseded
by Bishop Polk, ne went to New Orleans
and procured a huge chain cable, costing
s25,600, and brought It 20 Memphis to
blockade the river, by stretching 1t over, and
resting it upon buoys. The cable. carriage
and work cost about $4,000. The first big
tide that came, bringing down the usual
amount Of trees, logs and driltwood, swept
his cable and its supporters, as any tiat-boat
captain would have informed the Conteder-
ate authorities would certainly be the case.
This is no idle tale, but sober reality,
and we shall send the account OF this affair
on to the Confederate forces, to be tried on
the Potomac, on James river and On Chesa-
peake Bay.

A SPANISH COUNTERFEIT DETCTOR-
4 New York letter to the Mobile Tribune
SAYS There is a remarkable man connect
ed with the Custom House here, Spaniard.
His business is to receive and test money
He will pour the contents Of bag of gold or
silver coin into a scale-for it is weiged, not
counted, and in a trice announce the amount
in dollars and cents; then running his fingers
through the shining pieces, and applying his
nose to them. Immediately take out every
counterfeit coin. He was never known to
make mistake in pronouncing money good
or bad, and his infalIible instinct for detect
ing the spurious metal is located in his ol-
factory organs.

ANOTHER CONFEDERATE AC-
COUNT

A correspondent of the Louisville Courier
who was present at the battle of Bull R:n,
and who writes the day after the battle, in
duloes in no exultstion over the result Of the
contest On the contrary, at the very time
when the frightened civilians and sensation
newspapers of the North were representing
that our army was completely broken and
shamefuly routed, this correspondent wrote
under the evident conviction that the for
tunes of the day were with the federal army
rather than with the coniederates, notwth-
standing the ultimate repulse and falling
back OF the former.
As the facts become known we find less
and ess to discourage US in the result of the
late battle. Our men fought with unparaI-
leled bravery and with great and telling ef-
feet upon the enemy until ovcrpowered at
las ty vastly superior numbers of fresh
TROOPS under Gen. Johnston. The following
IS the correspondence Of the Louisville Cou-
rier from Manassas, above alluded to:
The victory has been dearly won-pur-
chased indeed with the hearts blood of thou
sands Of the brayest and truest men of the
Confederate States. We reached the field of
baule just as the victory had been gained,
and only had the mingled satisfaction and
sorrow Of joining In the huzzas and uniting
in the sad lamentations.
The fortunes of the day were evidently
against us. Some of our best officers had
been slain, and the flower of our army lay
strewn upon the field, ghastly in death or
gaping with wounds. At noon the cannon
aiding is described as terrific. 1t was an in
cessant roar for more than two hours, the
havoc and devastation at this time being fear
full Mcdowell, with the aid of Patterson's
division of twenty thousand, had very near
" outfanked US, TPatterson's division was at
Harper's Ferry, near eighty miles from the
scene here described, and were Just in the
act of possessing themselves of the railway to
Richmond. Then all would have been lost.
But most Opportunely VI may say providen-
tially--at this juncture Gen Johnston, with
the remnant OF his divlsiou-0ur army, as we
fondlv call it, for we have been friends and
brothers in camp and field for three months
--reappeared and made one other desperate
struggle to obtain the vantage ground. El-
sey's brigade OF Marylanders and Yirginians
led the charge, and right manfully did they
