sB-The Maine Farmer gives the particu-
lars of the burning of the oil-cloth carpet fac
tory at Winthrop, on Thursday the 18th inst.
The large factory, with another large bvlding
aext east of it, was totally destroyed, with all
their contents. The buildings were owned by
Charles NJ. Bailey, but the business was car
ried on by Levi & Reuben Jones, who are
large losers. The total loss is estimated by
them as being between thirty and forty thou
sand dollars. There was an insurance on the
two buildings and apparatus consumed, OF ten
thousand five hundred dollars. The cause of
the fire is yet mystery, but there are suspic-
ions that it was the work of an incendiars.

Wooden Shoe Mandatory.

We visited day or two since the Wooden Shoe
Mandatory of Messrs Them Traps, of this City,
whose advertisement appears in our paper to-day.
We had frequently heard of this establishment, but
we had no idea, until visit to it that it was so
thorough and interesting in its operations We
found 1t to be. The enterprising manufacturers
have in their employment some thirty hands, and
turning out about hundred pair of shoes per
day. The shape and size of the shoe first mark
ed and sawed out and then it is bored and scooped
out and fashioned at the bottom, and sand papered
and lined and painted and topped with leather and
thus finished in various rooms in the same building.
Most of this work is done by machinery, driven by
steam. The wood used is gum and poplar, which
is well steamed before the shoe is made. We un-
derstand these shoes are actually lighter than the
leather brogan Of the number and as for dura.
bility, the bottoms will last until the next war.
We learn that Messrs. Them & Traps, who are nm
ishing one hundred pair per day, have more orders
than they can fill.
Wooden shoes are worn in the northern part OF
Europe and in localities in this country; but
suppose this is the first mandatory of the Sort
by machinery and steam, which has been estab-
lished. See advertisement.

Cured on the Potomac since the battle of Drains
vile. That affair turns out to have been very dam
aging to the Yankees. Our batteries still keep
ing Lincoln's vessels shy, though occasionally
steals by. Our forces appear to be ready for the
enemy. There are indications that McClean's
forces will 60 into winter quarters though the con-
tinued mlldness OF the winter may possibly force
an advance
PENrNsuLA.-A sharp skrmish took place at
Bethel on Christmas day, in which the enemy lost
six killed and one prisoner. Our forces lost three
horses, and one man killed Gen. Magruder has
been anticipating attempted advance of the enemy
for some time His command is said to be in fine
condition and the Notifications at Yorktown imprcg-
nabe.
We have rumors of fighting on Sunday last near
Norfolk in which it is said the Yankees lost
gun-boat.
SOUTH CARoLINA-A dispatch from Charleston
on the 9th, says, that Federal feet Of twelve gun
boats had passed up to White Point on Eiisto
Island and made demonstrations on Gen. Evans
forces. The North Carolina battery disabled a few
gun-boats on the oath. Five Federal steamers were
anchored off Coles Island. A b,ttle was expected
in that quarter at an early day.
Observation-Disclosures troops continue to pour
into this State An early fight is not looked for at
Bowling Green. But few Yankees had as yet
crossed Green River.
Large numbers Of kentuckians were hocking to
the standard of Gen. Marshall in the blue grass

united with the Kansas Jayhawkers, and attacked
Col Cooper, Bushy Creek, the 9th. The
enemy had between four and eight thousand men,

Cooper drove them back with loss of nearly 500.

The Mason.slideII Affair.

The difficulty of arriving at correct and definite
conclusions in regard to this affair." does not check
the disposition to speculate upon it, by all persons
and gives rise to sundry conjectures and rumors
which have little or no foundation. We should be
glad to give our readers full information upon this
highly interesting subject but were we to copy in
full all that we upon it in our exchanges, they
would be little the wiser.
We think it is beyond question, that the British
government has instructed Lord Lyons to demand
the surrender of ENJOYS and their secretaries
the deck of British vessel, and an ample apology
for the insult. But we arc inclined to the opinion
that Lord Lyons has not yet made the demand Pc
remptorily. He is evidently preparing to do so, as
it appears not to be doubted that he has ordered
Admiral Milne with his feet of 45 war vessels to
the harbor of Boston. But his movements have
been delayed by the cunning craft of Mr.. Seward,
who it is more than intinated, previous to the
reception of the dispatches of Lord Lyons from his
government had sent letters to the L. S. Minister
Mr. Adams, at London dsavowing all intention to
insult the British flag, and all knowledge on the
part of the that the capture to take
place, with explanations and apologies The rumor,
therefore, that Lord Lyons had made the demand,
and that Lincoln had peremptorily refused is doubt
less, incorrect.
The whole British nation, as well as all Europe,
is intensely excited upon the subject. Nothing
short of the surrender of Mason and Slidell and
ample apology, will satisfy the British government
or people. The governments of Europe, it is said
approve Of the course of England in making the de-
mand 1t is also clear that the most cordial under
standing exists between England and France upon
the subject and it is believed that France will back
England, however ready the Emperor may be to Of
fer his mediation, in the event Of a war.
We therefore conclude, that the advance expana-
tons of Mr. Seward will not settle the matter. The
demand for their surrender will be persisted n and
we fear, such is the hatred of the North to the
South, that rather than forego his purpose to reek
his vengeance upon the South. Lincoln will accede
to the most humiliating terms demanded by Eng
land in order to avoid a conflict with her at present
The gigantic preparations for war making by Eng
land, indicate to us that the complications of the
two governments will not be settled even by the
surrender 1t is stated that France has already in
dcated to England her readiness to acknowledge the
independence of the Southern Confederacy. Should
Lincoln, therefore, surrender ENJOYS the proba-
bility is, both powers will acknowledge our indie
pendehce which will vastly increase the irritation,
and terminate in war. or o complete back down by
Lincoln. The news by the next steamer is looked
for with much anxiety.
