The Government Bakery.

The Alexandria correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Inquirer, in letter dated
Aug. IL, thus describes the mammoth ba-
kerry, supposed 10 be the largest in the
world, in which the bread for the Army of
the Potomac. and for the hospitals near
Washington, is prepared:
During my ramb'es to-day stepped into
the Government Bakery, a short distance
out of Alexandria, which is n anaged by
Capt. A. B. Mott, of Wyoming county,
Pa, attached to the Commissary Depart
ment. Capt. Mott kindly showed me
through the extensive establishment, and
was much surprised at its extent, and pleas
ed at the excelen, management and marked
cleanliness which prevailed in every de-
partment. The bakery, a one-story frame
building, with its appurtenances. covers a
little more than an acre of ground. About
two hundred men are constantly employed,
twenty ovens are in operation, and between
four hundred and five hundred barrels OF
-four are daily converted into good whole
some bread, which is furnished TO the Army
of the Potomac and hospitals and garrisons
around Alexandria. Five hundred barrels
of -four will turn out ninety thousand loaves
or rations of bread, twenty-five ounces to
the loaf. The yeast is made at the bakery
from potatoes, malt and hops, and the bread
turned out is of the best quality, there be

A Whisper to Daughters.

Girls, before you decide to accept man
as your companion for life, look well TO his
resentments See if he hates ANYBODY
soundy. If so you run a great risk in
marrying him. A man who can hate
we'll, has not the qualities to make good
friend. A truly noble soul will never hate
bitterly, even though deeply injured. He
stands on too high ground. lie may be
deeply hurt and much displeased; be may
avoid one he knows to be an enemy, but he
does not harbor hatred in his soul.
A noble soul is not always on the look
out for little offences, but he takes good
humoredly SLIGHT annnyances that ar Pie"
ty enough in every ones pathway. DO
not countenance a person who thinks TO add
to his importance by clustering at hotel
servants, railroad employees, or whenever
he feels safe to do it. Instead of proving
hin cosmopolitan, as he plainly thinks,
his barking and snarling only show his aflin-
ity to the puppy. Do not marry rowdy
if he be ever so rich, hoping your influence
will reform him. See to it that he is well
reformed before you take step from which
you can never recede while life lasts.
1t is an excellent sign for young man
if he is kind aud attentive to his mothel
and sisters. Such one will be quite sure
TO make kind husband. There is some

PreSentimentS.

Napoleon l. had faith in preseutimentS.
Paul" he observed TO Count Montholon,
in a conversation on the death of that Rus
sian emperor, was man who had soul,
and was accessible to noble resolutions, but
all his moral faults were concentrated by
the restless forcbodings of that animal in-
stiuct which / have so often observed II
some of my bravest soldiers. Lascelles,
for example, who in the middle of the night
wrote to me from bivouac on the battlefield
of Wagram. to ask me to sign Immediately
the decree for the transmission OF his title
and his mqjordt of count TO his wite's son,
because he felt that he was about to tall IN
the battle of the ensuing day and the un-
fortunate man was right. Cervoni, who
stood near me at EckmuhI, and now faced
cannon for the first time since the war IN
Italy, said TO me, Sire, you forced me TO
quit Marseilles. which loved, by writing
to me that the cross of the legion of honor
was only to be won by soldiers in the pres
I ence of the enemy. Here l am but this

/ Paul was constantly dreaming of conspira-
cies and assassinations. He had brought a
sk;llful mechanic from abroad, in order TO
make him a number of secret passages, by
which he might escape from the different
chambers which he most frequently used IN
his palace. There was one man alone who
/ had his entire confidence, ard that was
! Count Phal-n, Governor of ST. Petersburg,
and chief director of the police. He was
at supper with the general the night before
his assassination, when he received letter

ing no deleterious substances worked in to
make it weigh heavy or give it white,
fancy appearance.
According 10 the army regulations, each
soldier is entitled to twenty-five ounces of
bread or -four daily but by the govern
meni doing the baking for its own troops,
a great saving is effected in the difference
between bread and -four, and the soldiers,
who invariably prefer soft bread to "hard
tack " or -four, are greatly benefited there
by. The saving in the month Of June
alone was three thousand one hundred and
seventy-four barrels Of -four to the govern
meni, in the difference between bread and
flour, and the gain in four months has been
sufficient to pay all expenses Of erecting
and supplying the bakery. $4,000, and a
net surplus of $1,000 to $4,000 in addition.
Gas has been introduced throughout the
building and into the ovens, so that the ba-
kers can see that the bread is not overdone
or not baked enough. The water is also
introduced, and six hundred feet of hose
kept on hand to guard against fire. The
railroad passes by the side of the main
building, where -four is delivered from the
cars into the warehouse, and the bread is
taken directly to the army of the Potomac,
who thus receive fresh bread every day.
Some of the bakers are workmen from
Europe, and they assert that there is no
bakery of this magnitude in the old coun-
try, and it is believed to be the largest es-
tablishment of the kird in The world. The
highest issue of bread in one day from this
bakery was la $50 loares, in February
last. During the non,h of July only
$4,000 loaves were issued, the Army Of
the Potomac being mostly on the march
and subsistng on ;. hard tack" bat since its
return to the Rappahannock the bakery
has been worked nearly toits full capacity
TO supply the army.
Capt. Mott is assisted by Mr.. Zephaniah
Jones, of Washington City, as superintend-
ent, who was formerly in charge of the
Capitol extension, and who was also su-
perintendeut of the bakery in the Capitol
building year or two ago. Their success
full management of this extensive establish
ment is highly creditable to both.

ON WINTER.
Winter is the coldest season in the year,
because it comes in the winter. In some
countries winter comes in summer, and then
it is very pleasant. l wish winter came in
the summer in this country. Then could
go skating barefoot and slide down hill ia
linen ,rowsers. We could SNOWFALL with
out our fingers getting coll-and men who
go out sleigh-riding wouldn't have to stop
at every tavern to warm, as they do now.
1t SHOWS more in winter than il does in any
other season of the year. This is because
so many cutters and sleighs are made at
that time.
Ice grows much better in winter than in
summer, which was aa inconvenience be-
fore the discovery of ice houses. Water
that is left out of doors is apt TO freeze at
this season. Some people take in their
wells and cisterns on col night and keep
them by the fire, and they don't freeze.
Skating is great fun in the winter. The
boys get their skates on when the river is
frozen over, and race, play ta-, break
through the ice and get wet all over, (they
get drowned sometimes y fall and break
their heads, and enjoy themselves in many
oher ways. A wicked boy once borrowed
my skates and ran off with them, and l
could not catch him. Mother said judge
ment would overiake him one day. Judg-
ment will have TO be pretty lively on its
legs if it does, for he runs bully.
There amt much sleigh riding except in
the winter-folks don't seem to care about
it in warm weathe". The grown up boys
and girls like 10 60 sleish-riding. The
boys generally drive with one hand, and
help the girls hold their muffs with the
other. Brother Bob let me 90 little way

FRIDAY MORNING, sEIT. 4, 1863.
Gov. BrOmlette of Kentucky, Oh Ne
san gro Soldiers.

Since the election in Kentucky, demo-
cratic copperheads claim that the State has
gone against the Government. Read what
the new Governor says of negro soldiers
You object to negro soldiers. Who be-
gan this business? Who raised the first
negro regiment? Did Lincoln? Don't
you know that in the beginning OF this
strife, in New Orleans, they heralded 1t
abroad that they had already organized
two regiments of negroes TO fight the Yam
KEGS with? Don't you know that the first
act in the Tennessee rebel legislature was
the organization of free negro regiments!
Don't you know il TO be a fact furthermore,
that they have regiments of Indians in their
service, to tomahawk and scalp our women
and children? And yet none of you here
assembled, will venture to say, have heard
these constitutional Union gentlemen object
to their using negro regiments TO fight US
With. You never heard one OF them OBJ
ject to enlisting the Indians against us.
Why is it you have grown SO terribly re-
pugnant TO negro aid ? You are willing it
should be employed against us, but now
that it is being employed to help us you are
terribly disturbed. The reason seems ire
sistihle, that then they were fighting on The
side you were anxious should win; but as
soon as they are employed against that side
you object.
Suppose one of you We're assaulted by
| robbers, who threatened to burn your house
and murder your family if you didn't give
up your money! that your neighbor came
running to your assistance, and with him
one or two stout negroes, with clubs, and
axes and guns; that while you were en-
gagged in close, hand-to-hand conflict with
one of them you should see that brawny
negro holding them down, would you say,
Hold oni | don't want any negro to help
/ me. Here, Mr.. Robber, am not going TO
succeed in driving you off by any such aid
chat you may burn my house and take
my property Is that what any sane man
would do? But it is just in this way that

PRINTING WITHOUT INK.--A gentle
man. a large capitalist, and one of the most
successful inventors of the day, has sue
ceeded in chemically treating the pulp,
during the process of manufacturing print
ing paper. in such manner that when the
paper is imp essed upon the uninked types
the chemical particles are crushed, and a
perfect black impression is the result. The
advantage sought TO be obtained is the dis
carding of ink and rollers; and by revolu-
tionizing printing machinery and printing
from a continuous roll of paper, it is calcu-
lated that the time occupied in impressing
large quantities of paper will be nominal
in comparison to the requirements OF the
present day. Cleanliness in the printing
office would thus become proserbial, and
the time now wasted in making and distribu-
ting the rollers obviated. We have been as
s;sting this gentleman in some parts OF his
experiment, and further information Is
withheld, at his request. until Let,ers-Pat-
ent shall be obtained. d.-London 1ypograph-

The Lawrence Massacre.

The Leavenworth Conservative gives
some further particulars of the terrible
tragedy at Lawrence. Kansas:
We found Massachusetts street a mass of
smoulderins ruins and crumbling walls, the
light from which cast sickening glare upon
The little knots Of excited men and de-
tracted women, gazing upon the ruins of
their once happy homes and prosperous
business. Only two business houses were
left upon this street-one known as the
Armory, and the other as the old Miller
block. About 125 houses in all were burn
ell, and only one or two escaped being ran
sacked, and everything of value carried
away or destroyed. The force of the reb-
els is variously estimated from 25O to 400.
Reliable parties place it at 800. Their
every act during their stay in the city was
characterized by the most cowardly barbar-
ism. They entered the town on the gallop,
firing into every house, and when the occu-
pants appeared at the door they were shot
crisp, lay near the ruins Of the Eldridge
house. They could not be recognized.
Eighteen out of 22 unarmed colored re
cruits, encamped south of the town were
murdered in their tents. Their bodies lay
in the colored church when we arrived.
SIessrs. Trask, DIR. Griswold, Baker and
Thorp, were shot down in the yard of DIR.
Griswold, before the eyes of their families.
Judge Carpenter was wounded in his yard,
and fell, when his wife and sister threw
themselves upon his body, begging for mer-
cy, but to no avail. The fiends dismouut-
ed, stuck their pistols between the persons
of his protectors, and fired. Miss Stone,
daughter of the proprietor of the City Ho-
tel, had diamond ring stolen from her fin
GER Quantrell obliged the man to restore
ii. In revenge for this, the ruffians after
ward came back and shot her father before
the mothers eyes. They also tried to kill
Miss Stone. Gen. Collamore went into his
well TO hide, and the bad air killed him.
His son and Pat Keefe lost their lives try
ing to get the father out. The life of dis
trict attorney Riggs was saved by the hero
ism o. his wife, who seized the bride of
the rebels horse, who attempted to shoot
him as he ran. Several cases of remarka-
bic bravery of women were related to US.
The wife of sheriff Brown three successive
times put out the fire kindled to burn the
house. Her husband was hidden under the
floor. The house was saved by her hero
ism.

In the meantime, the children watch him

is disposed of she presumes upon gossip,
and possibly upon a jest; and when at last
the dessert is spread upon the table, all
hands are merry, and the face of the hus-
band and father, which entered the house
So pinched and savage and sharp, becomes
