FIAx CLIFTON IN ENGLAND.-"We mention

grating wood by charging it in a cannon with
steam, and then suddenly disrharging it with
explosion. 1t has been found that fax ard
hemp. reduced to fine short flore hy the same
means, is well ;plapted for mixing with wool
in various clothes Short fax fibre is capable
of being most intimately mixed with the wool
in the iulhng operation. The shortness of its
fibre may unfit it for spinning on cotton ma
clin2ry, and for weaving into plain cloth, but
not for mixing with wool AS there will be

TIE SAvAXAn ExPEDITIoN.-Adviccs from
Port Royal state that Dupont and Sherman
are fitting out new expedition with great cE-
ergy. lis destination was not divulged there,
but from operations already going forward on
the Savannah River, is supposed to be Savan-
nah. A channel has been surveyed by which
a Hotilla can reach the city without passing
Fort Pulaski. This the rebels have obstructed
by logs and hulks, which our troops were en-
gagged in removing. The rebels had erected i
battery at the head Of this channel, but it is
probable that this will not long resist the kind
of fire that disposed Of the Port Royal batter
les.
Sould the gunboats reach the city, it must
surrender, in spite of the 25,OO0 troops who
are reported as ready to defend it, and then
Fort Pulaski must fall into our hands. The
expedition was to consist of all the available
troops at Port Royal, except enough TO hold

A young man once picked up piece Of gold

A Word Of kav.ce.

We think we have heard or read somewhere.
OF IL provcrb which warns Us of counting chick
ems bcfnlc they are hatchcd, and another which
speaks Of firing Il gun before il is loaded
They both mean that it is not wise to specu-
late before you are sure of Your facts, aud we
commend them 10 certain very knowing
morning Journal, which pats Mr. Lincoln on
the back so familiarly for his decided "con.crv-
at<m' on the slavery question MIR. Lincoln
is a man Of sagaci'y y and good sense, and knows
what lac is at. but the thing that be knows
better than anything else is his duty To carr,
out the wishes Of the American people. What
ever they may determine he will execute, and
the wri crs wh1 lake 50 much pains 10 square
his views with those Of the hal!-faccd bor,lcr-
State Union picn, and Of the secret sympathi-
sers in secession at the Norh, viii wake NJ,
some fine morning TO find themselves egregious-
ly mistaken.
As President of the nation, on whom the
ultimate responsibility of action rests, Mr..
Lincoln cannot be expected 10 move as rapid
y as u centipede, or to exhibit as much en-
lhusiasm as Boston orator, but we have rt;l-
son TO believe that he will be true 10 his con
victions as an auti-savcry man, aud I'aricu-
l;,rly when he Sees as he must soon see, il he
docs not already, that these convictions are
shared by nine-tenths of the people of The
North It is idle 10 talk about controlling or
resisting the sentiment Of hostility 10 slavery
engeudercd by this war. Even before it broke
out The popular sentiment Of every free State
was decidedly opposed to any txtrnsicn in
growth Of the evil; but nov thai il has become
| the cause of most disastrous and wicked civ
| il war it is still more hateful. few timid
persons here and there, whose minds obey THEN
own prejudices and not their reasons, and Il
squad of antiquated politicians, may protest
against the agitation Of the subject; but tlfeil
circumstances viii be rs Intellectual as the beat
ing cf drums during an eclipse TO stop the mo-
tion of the sun. The opinions Of our north
ern communities are nearly unanimous on this
point, that slavery must sooner or later be cN
tinguished, and the only division relates 10 thC
methods by which the elids can be best attain

APPLE DuMPLi NG$.--l'are ard thinlv slice

as ordinary biscuit, roll out and butter il over
lightly, aud then double ii over once and re-
peat. Put in no more apples than the crust
will easily lap over on, and two small dump
lings are better than one large one, US they are
more easily got into bag, aud take less time
in cooking. When the fruit is cooked il is
done, and the time of cooking must he rogu.

THE MUSICAL FEsTIvAL.-Some idea
may be entertained of the character of the
entertainment on next Tuesday evening
from the fact. that the main piece, the
"Oratorio. will require about one hour
for its performance, and the association
has been eight months in practice upon it.
Any attempt of this piece by any Society
out of the largest cities is exceedingly
rare, and hence but mparatively few
persons ever have an opportun ty to listen
30 it. Although the 1st part will be in
German, from the expressive character OF
the music, aided by the programme. the
main idea will be Ineligible to the Eng
lish auditor. The overture, with which
the Festival commences, is intended to be
descriptive of the chaos which preceded
creation, not being really part of the Ora
torio" Part second consists mostly of
English pieces. Should the evening prsve
favorable, we have no doubt the Hall Will
be tested to its utmost capacity. We pub
fish the programme in another column.
