President Laurens on Slavery.

Henry Laurens, of South Carolina, Pres
ident of the Continental Congress, wrote,
Aug. IA, l776to his son, John Laurens, then
in England and afterwards colonel in the
American army, as follows;--
:" You know, my dear son, abhor sla-

very had been established by British kings
and parliaments, as well as by the laws of

growing under the same authority and cul-

former days there was no combating the
prejudices of men supported by interest ;
the day hope is approaching when, from
principles of gratitude as well as justice,
every man will strive TO be foremost in
showing his readiness to comply with the
golden rule. Not less than twenty thou
sand pounds sterling would all my negroes
produce if sold at public auction tomorrow.

are indebted to Englishmen for that favor !;
nevertheless am devising means for man

the entail Of slavery. Great powers oppose

HAVE PATIENCE WITH THE BoYs.-
General Towne, once taught school in
Sturbridge, Mass. when father applied to
him to take charge of son, who he frankly
admitted had given him great deal of
vexation. lie had been placed with several
instructors TO no good purpose he seemed
to be stupid, and the father feared the boy
would never come to anything.
This interview caused the instructor TO
suspect that the father-not case without
a precedent--had conceived prejudice a.
gainst the boy and this suspicion was
strengthened by his subdued appearance,
in his fathers presence, and by the coleness
and indifference of the fathers manner,
when taking leave of his son. After the
father had gone the instructor called the
boy, and with smile of encouragement
put book into his hands and asked him to
read. The lad took the book with nervous
fingers, and with tremuIous voice pro-
ceeded to comply. After reading half page
continually turning his eyes from the book
TO the teacher, he was told to stop, which
he did, at the same tine dodging his head
in singular manner. Upon being asked
why he did so, he replied -
Il thought you won beat me-"
The instructor assured him he was in nc
danger of being beaten for the few mis-
takes he had made-and when the teacher
said with a smile, 81 believe you mean &c
be good boy" the tears that filled his eyes
were demonstrative.
The intelligent teacher comprehended
the case. He was right. Encouragement
and gentle discipline produced their fruits
The boy progressed rapidly, and the fathers
surprise may be imagined, at the teachers
assurance in due time that his pupil was a
lad of uncommon promise, and his convic-
tion that, with the advantages of a good
education, this poor, brow-beaten boy would
distinguish himself in after life. Upon this
suggestion he was sent to college. The re-
suit is matt,r of history. Gov. VIM.

Stop the War.

The Lowell Advertiser Ga democratic pa

Oh, no, is the answer we would cease hos

would very naturally be enraptured with it.
Certainly, if such project could be sue
cessfnl, we should say by all means adopt
it. i would, however, be very hnmliating
to do SO. 1t would be saying that The ad-
ministrations of Messrs. Pierce and Bu-
chanan had been robbing the Southern
States of their lawful rights and that the
republican administration of Mr.. Lincoln
would remedy the errors of the past, and
abide by the guarantees of the Constitution
The South have armed in opposition to the
Federal Government; for what purpose
No Northern army of invasion was tread
ing Southern soil, when all the batteries oi
war opened upon Sumter; if there were
any grievances to complain of they were
grievances perpetrated by dc mocratic ad-
ministrations.
Probably by this time our advocates 70,
peace will change their ground, and tell US
it was not the grievances of the past that
occasioned the war, but dread of the Gu
rure. Mr.. Lincoln had been elected Presi-
dent and the South were fearful of the con.
sequences. Very prudent and very consid-
crate were the statesmen of the South tc
have prevented the election of Mr.. Lin
coin, but they preferred to divide the dem
ocratic party for the express purpose of de-
feating, and Fastening the disruption of the
Union, an event for which they have been
preparing ever since 1882. Mr.. Lincoln
elected, it was in their power, had they re-
mained in the national confederacy, to con-
trail both branches of Congress, and to
thwarr any unconstitutional measure of op-
preston, which either he or his cabinet
might have concocted."

A $4,000 SMoKE.-We met an intelli-
gent and economical gentleman at the State
Fair at Rochester, who had Just built a
three thousand dollar smoke house He
was induced to do so for the following rea.
sons: Finding, many years ago, that the
habit of smoking tobacco was injuring his
health. he discontinued the practice, al
though it cost him many severe effort.
He WAS subsequently, encouraged, how
ever, at the pecuniary saving it was cons
tantly effecting. BY an accurate aritk-
meticaI calculation, he ascertained that the
daily cost of segars, with anual interest,
and compound interest, that is, with the in
terest placed out again on interest, would
amount 10 over three thousand dollars in
twenty years. Having already affected this
saving, he concluded TO build handsome
dwelling. His friends often inquiring, "how
can you afford to build so good house p
He invariably answered" 4" This is my smoke
house-the amount | have saved in not
puffiug $4,000 TO the winds"

TIE VIGILANCE CoMMItrEE ALARMED
ABOUT PHoNoGRAPHY.-Re Rev. j. II. Aug
hey, a refugee from Mississippi, gives an a.
musine account of his examination by a
vigilance committee, OF whom the chairman
was Parson Locke. Methodist brother.
The parson began his examination of his
brother parson as to his soundhess on the
goose "as follows:
+" Parson Anghey, you have been report
ed to us as holding abolition sentiments, and
as being disloyal to the confederate states."
WHO reported me, and where are your
witnesses I"
"Any one has right TO report, and it is
optional whether he confronts the accused
or not. The proceedings of vigilance
committees are somewhat informal"
Proceed, then, with your trial in your
own way
we propose toask you few questions,
and in your answers you may defend your
self or admit your guilt. In the first place,
did you ever say that you did not believe
that God ordained the institution of slavery"
Il believe that God did not ordain the
institution of slavery"
"You are known to be an adebt in Pho
biography, and you are reported to be corr
respondent of an abolition Phonocranhic
journal"
81 understand the Science of Phonogra-
ply, and am correspondent of Phonogra-
phic journal, but the journal eschews poll
ties"
Another member of the committee then
interrogated me.
Parson Aughey, what is punnyogra-
phy3'
Phono2raphy, sir, is system of wri-
ting by means of philosophic alphebet,
composed of the simplest geometrical signs,
| in which one mark is used to represent one
and invariably the same sound.

Yes sir, converse fuently in phonog-
raphy, and those who speak the language

" In the District p
"No sir in the poetic Columbia"
was next interrogated by another mem
Der Of the committee.
"Parson Aughey, is photography an abb
oltion fxin2"
"No sir; photography, abstractly con-
sidered. has no political complexion it may
be used to promote either side of any ques-
ton, sacred or profane. mental, moral, phys
ical or political"
swell, you ought to talk and write plain
English, what common folks can understand,
or Wen have TO say of you, what Agrippa
said of Paul, much learning hath made
thee mad Suppose you was to preach in
photography, who'd understand it ?--whod
know what was piped or harped? Ill bet
some Yankee invented it to spread his alb
clifton notions underhandedly. I, for one,
would be for maxim the parson promise to
talk and write no more photography. I'll
bet photography is agin slavery, tho / new
er hearn tell of it before. I'm agin all Sc
cret societies. I'm agin the odd fellers, free
masons, sons of temperance, good templars
aud phonogaphy. want to know what's
writ and what's talked. You cant throw
/
dust in my eyes. Photography, from what
I've found out about it to-day, is agin the con-
federate states, and we ought to be agin it."

Sir William Armstrong zests his reputation
for scientific ability, on the invention Of ths
piece Of ordnance which bears his name, and
which is described By the Parliamentary Sc.
1ect Committee as the :" only complete sYAtem
demonstrating ordnance for firing projectiles
9Th heavy charges Of powder ever offered to
Now, scientifc men both in England and
America know that the Armstrong gun Is a
piracy as unblushing as the depredatIous Of
The Alabama, and the claim Of Sir William to
the invention il almost sublime In its impu-
dence,
In the years 1s4s, Professor Paul Tread
Een of came1idge manufactured for the
United States Government certain cannon on
precisely the same mode OF construction as
those used by Sir William Armstrong in the
construction Of the Armstrong gun. The
process, Of which re now propose to give q
very brief account, WIS patented in America
ana England in 1871, and printed in the Eng
ltsh specifications Of patents in 1854. In
let form a short account Of tho process of
man anuiactu1ing his guns, and circulated it
generally In Europe and America, and with
Ill this light It ia too great demand upon
our crednlity to suppose that Sir Wllliam,. in
6ane methods, had not seen the aHphlets
ard specifications Of NJ. T1eadwe1.
Putting aside cast iron as material for
making canpon, On account Of its fraguttY,
and taking the fhct that wrought presents
much mofr resistance to cross fracture than
1t does to fracture in the direction Of it's
hbre. MI. Tleadwell conceived the idea Of
building up q gun OF wrought iron wherein
the fibre should run round the gun; i. C., at
right angles to the direction Of the bare.
4 bar Of wrought iron is heated to welding
heat, and wound 1onnd q mandrel {reprssent-
lug the bore Of the gum. when sufficient
thickness is obtained, the mass is again
heated and placed in strong mould and the
mandre1 again placed in the centre-the force
Of a bydrot tasic press Of the power Of one
thousand tons is then applied ard the mass ia
crushed into the mould, forming at once the
outside and inside Of the gun, and thorough
y welding the bars into hom ogeneous mass
Of coil.
This process is repeated and another coil
formed those TWO coils are then placed In
the furnace and heated to Welding heat and
sgsin placed in the mould, one above the
other, and the press again applied md the
two coils welded tcEether-the process Is re-.
peated until the requisite length is obtained
necessary tor the gun, which Is then flushed
inside ard out, and forms q gun four times
as strong as any cast iron gun.
This gun and this process Of manufacture
are the subjects Of 8fr. Treadwel1's patents,
which expired in England in 1858, and the
Armstrong gun and the Armstrong process
a1e identical with lis. The only difference
If 1t can be called difference In manufacture
is that Armstrong uses the steam hammer il
crushing the coils into the mould, while Mr.
TteadHe1l uses the hydroEtAtic press. Ate,
the gun is made, Sir William Armstrong II
