The Gordian Knot.

Slavery, the chronic difficulty of the
Government, becomes more aud more COM
nlicatc as the sword of the North cuts
farther and farther into the labyrinths of
Rebellion.
The President in his annual message,
recommended to Congress a gigantic
scheme of colonization. Without discus
sing the feasibility of colonization, is it
not apostle to inquire, why expatriate
the negro from the cotton, rice and sugar
fields he has learned to plant and till I?
Why break the commercial bonds that
connect the natives of the South, with the
civilization of the whole world? Our
common humanity will object, if any
modern Alexander attempts to cut the
Gordian knot by colonization. In his re-
cent message, the President suggested that
we buy out slavery. This scenes to be
putting our hand into the wrong pocket
to suit the natural interests of the nation.
The motto of our revolutionary fathers
was millions for defense, but not one
cent for tribute" viii the "soverign
people" pay tribute to the southern oil
garchy, now that the heel of oppression
is red with the blood of frecmcn?
In the meantime the difficulties of
slavery continue to unfold themselves
around the President and his Cabinet,
and they may yet find these difficulties
like the serpents that entwined around
LAGOON and his children.
All the efforts of the Government as yet
to cut through the complications of slave
ry, are pari passu, if ever inaugurated,
50 slow towards the jubilee of freedom to
the slave, that the pyramids will corrode
beneath the dcws of Africa before il ever
comes, .

held you back that you might give the
death blow to the rebellion that has dis

patience you have shown, and your conf

now accomplished. l feel that the pa

The New Line of Rebel Defense.

A Baltimore letter in the New York
Herald, thus describes the new position
of the rebel army, on information said to
be derived from trustworthy sources:
"The examination of correct map of
Virginia will show that there is remark
able similarity between Gordonsville juno
ton and Manassas junction, as defensive
positions. In front of the latter is Bull

long line hundred miles in extent
that is to say, on the sem-circle formed
by the Rappahannock, from Gordonsvillc

guard the whole of this long line but are
distributed in army corps, the same as
they were on the Potomac, at the points
where they are most likely to be attack
cd. These points are five miles North of
the town of Orange, at the bridge where
the road from Culpepper to Louisa crosses
the Rapidan; at Germania, where the
road from Warrenton to Bowling Green
crosses the same stream at Fredericks-
burg, and at Port Royal The troops who
were posted for the support of the Poto-

places, and the gnns formerly mounted in
those batteries are also there. 1t seems
to be the impression among the rebels that
Gen. Mcclellan will march down the old
road near the Potomac, taking Occoquan
and Dumfries on his rout, and will seek
to occupy Fredericksburg. AS the sue

NEW TIN BUCKETS
Which are acknowledged by all who have given
them trial, to be greatly preferred above Cedar,
or other wood buckets, for the following reasons :
LIST. When new, they do not, like cedar, i'm
part very strong, unpleasant TASTE for the first
two seasons they are used.
I'd. After being used for number of years,
they are free from the objection to old wooden
buckets--the impossibility of cleansing so
thoroughly but that the pores of the wood will
contain sour, and thereby render it impossible to
make nice article of sugar.
Sd. 1t requires not more than half the labor
to cleanse, distribute, and gather tin tubs, that
is necessary when wood tubs are used. A boy,
with his hand-sled, loaded with tin tubs is bet
ter and more expeditions team than yoke Of oxen
drawing 100 wood tubs
4th. They can be packed nice and dry In
some corner in the chamber, without being ex-
posed as wood tubs necessarily are, on account
of their bulk.
9th There are no hoops to drop off and need
replacing every year, as is the case with WOOD
tubs.
9th. The squirrels cannot destroy them. nei-
Their will the worms perforate them.
18th. The sap that falls into tin tubs is secured
which cannot be said of wood, as many n every
lot allow the sap to escape from the joints as
fast as it falls from the tree
Sth When you put away 100 tin buckets,
at the close Of the sugar season, you will find
one hundred tit for use the season following
while in the same number Of wood buckets, thei e
will be a halfdozen or more, as good as no buckets
at all.
9th. They cost but triae more than wood
buckets.
10th. The increased worth OF the sugar pro.
duced. will in one season pay the excess of the
cost of tin over wood buckets.
There need be no fear of their rusting sap rather
preserves tin from rusting, they have been tried.
| To any farmer in the County, who may wish 10
try Tin Sap-Buckets, the subscriber can furn
them with better tub, at less price than can lie
had elsewhere. Do not stick to the old wood
buckets but rather give them away. as you actua!.
y lose more every season, by their use, than they
are worth. Give Inc call, and order tin buckets
for the coming season.
