EVERY NAN TO MAKE HIS OWN IcE.-An Paris
is rejoicing in recent discovery of method of
manufacturing it in speedy and simple manner,
and at small expense. The machineis styled LIE
gLtciers a escale. From drawing and description
now before us we gather the foowing:
A cylinder of metal-tin will answer-with q
moveable cover at end to be kept tightly in its
place by screw when shut with two openings, one
at each end to receive throug two tunnels the mate
rails used and discharge cock at one end to dis.
charge the contents when the cylinder is to be empt
led, is all the apparatus required. This cylinder,
when properly charged, is placed on pair Of rock
ers, SO that a see-ssw motion may be obtained To
convert five hundred French grammes of water into
ice (each gramme being nearly II grains advoir-
dupos) it is necessary only to place in this cylinder
or well 13 hundred grammes ofsuphate Of soda, and
id. Into this preparation or both, says the Inpen
tor place the form or vessel containing the water to
be frozen, bottle of champagne to be trapped, or
any other material to be frozen. Close the cover,
screw it fast and then for seven Or eight minutes
give the cylinder or well sec-saw motion On its
cradle, and you obtain the desired result. solid
block Of ice Of FIVE hundred gralpmes may be pro-
duced by the operation. All PARIS has been run
ming to see the machine of the rue de PAibe Sec.
No GO, where its effects are publicly exhibited.
These machines rapidly sold at from fifty francs
to one hundred and twenty, according to the size.
late number of the pictorial paper rIllustration,
gives drawing aud description sufficiently intel
ligibe to enable any of our metal workers to manu-
facturc them. If We may believe the half of what
is said our dependence for cool drinks will no long
er be upon the icemen, but upon the chemists.

Comparing the Polls.

the sheriff or other returning officer of the Counties
of each Congressional District shall attend on We'd
nesday next after each election at the following
places to compare the votes
At Plymouth, in the 1st District.
At Greenville, in the I'd District
At Warsaw, in the Sd District
At Lumberton, in the 4th District
At Franklinton, in the 9th District
At Greensborough, in the 9Th District.
At Troy, in the 7th District.
At Charlotte, in the 9Th District.
At Wilkesborough, in the 9th District.
At Asheville, in the 10th District.
Italso provides that if any returning officer should
be prevented by accident from reaching the place of
meeting, on Wednesday, his returns shall be re-
ceived on the day following.
The ordinance of the Convention amending the
ordinance providing for soldier voting, passed in
May, 1852, provides that the proper returning of.
cers Of every County in this State shall include in
their returns the votes of officers and soldiers given
in any election. in which they may be entitled to
vote by law, if received within twenty days after
they cast and the said returning officers shall
not make up their returns and declare the result of
said elections until the expiration Of twenty days as
aforesaid
And the act Of the called session Of the Legisls.
ture, passed July 7th 1861 provides that when any
place appointed by the existing laws for the sheris
to meet and compare the votes for members of Con-
gress in said Districts shall be in the possession of
the enemy, the sherifs or other returning officers
in said District may meet at any other place in said
District and compare the polls, and declare who is
elected under the same rules and regulations as are
now provideahy law.
As the ordinance referred to does not expressly
repeal the act of the Legislature in regard to the
day on which the sherifs OF the different Districts
to meet to compare the votes, We learn that it
is the opinion of legal gentlemen who have been
consulted on the subject, that they should meet
the Wednesday following the day Of the election,
and compare the votes as far received; and if it
shall appear that all the votes from the army have
not been received they should provide for another
meeting at the expiration Of twenty days from the
d:y on which the army vote was cast in order that
all the votes polled may be embraced in the final
returns 1t is evident that the ordinance of the
Convention passed with particular reference to
the voting for Governor and members of Assembly,
which was to take place the following summer, and
referred to, was not adverted to. But as it en-
braces in general terms the voting for members of
Congress- it is necessary to construe it with refer
to that also, and repeating it only far rs
it may do so by express words.

Any quantity of superior hay can be cheaply and

of any for If the grass is not from the praires
and gathered it ro,s Is destroyed by fire But lit
tie hay is needed the winters are mild and short
and the "biue grass OF the country furnishes ex-
cellent grazing even in mid winter. How long this
opportunity for gratuitous and superior pasturage
and fodder win continue. it is impossible to tell !;
doubtless the rapid march Of freedom will cut it
short by inducing an immepse emigration but as the

Wool Growers and large Stock Raisers can enjoy

To the Editor Of the Press.
Grateful for, yet unable to answer the
many letters OF Kind inquiry, in relation TO my
self and the noble regiment with which am
connected, permit me, through yonr colu1 ms,
TO inform all interested in my welfare that
my health is and has been good since my con-
nection with the army, and that feel perfect
ly satisfied with my post, fare and duty. As
for the 18th, other of the nine months regi-
ments may have seen more fighting, but |
will venture to assert that none are more
ready or willing to perform the duties as
signed them, whether of guarding, digging,
marching, fighting or eating. 1t is no dispar-
agement TO other regiments of brave men
from our own patriotic State, to say that we
are proud of the 25th and her noble officers.
From the vigilance shown by Col. Fessen-
den tour brigade commander) and staff, no
fears need be entertained of Moseby's catch
ing any steepers in our camp.
Our Surgeon. DIR. Carr, and assistant, DIR.
Bowker, are efficient, energetic and kind. DIR.
True, regret to say, by order from the chief
of his department, has left us to occupy some
other post. Perfect harmony, as heretofore,
Is maintained among the officers of the line.
