Leather Tanned by the New Pro-
cess.

We have seen specimen Of kip leather
tanned by Isaac Bicrfeld, Of Newberry,
$. c., in twenty days, with his Dog Fem
mel preparation. The sample was soft and
pliable and had all the appearance Of be.
ing equal to the best French leather
We understand that our shocmakers so
pronounceit it.
Every body knows what Dog Fennel is,
and will be glad to learn that II is OF some
account after all. The weed grows in great
abundance and perfection in all parts of
Florida. Mr., Bierheld says that now is
the time to gather it, and that it should
be put under shelter. Planters would do
well to lay by goodly portion of il, as il
may prove highly valuable in the manu-
iact,,ro of their leather. - Tallahassee Fiori

Schism Among the Kentucky

The Louisville correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial alludes to the late
article OF the journal as follows;
Whilo the PARTICLE alluded TO has proved
nothing, and simply .misstatod or nj the
most exaggerated the somewhat cloaked
idea OF the President il liaS produced
much mische! and driven the FIRST wedge
in tho split which is without doubt going

ling OF The slavery question in the new
phase IN which 10 has presented itself
the clashine Of state and Federal relations
regarding slave property. The grca. split
IN the Union party, on which tho rebels
dependedin the beginning, Is not far dis
tant.
To all appearance. the journal is trying
to extract itself from the untonablo posi-.
tion in which Il has placed itself in regard
to Cameron aud his late speech.
