Far AND BONE BOILING AND OTHER PUBLIC
NuIsAscrs--Tbe Sanitary police have been re-
peatedly required to sbate these nuisancesi but
il seems they are still allowed to exist. The bone
and fat boiling concerns are yet at work, hiling
the atmosphere with their noxious and pcstiier-
Qua vapors. II is true the operations OF some
of them are suspended during the day; but on
the approach of evening they are agein in fuii
blast aud during the entire night ntinue the
manufacture Of pestilential gases, our citizens
| cannot be aware Of the number extent oi
| these and other nuisanoes prejuf lal to health
| that are allowed to exist within the city's
limits. An intelligent correspondent has fur
nished us with atummary Of few that have
recently come under his observation We emu
merate portion FOR the benefit OF the city
officials, WHO are especially concerned m the
abatement of such nuisauo es:--

dock, awaiting tide and wind to be re-
moved in sailing vessels some twenty
miles up the Hudson to enc Of the bone
boiling establishments. Some Of these car
cases-dead horses, &c.-lie OH the wharf or in
the boats all day before being removed. And,
further, when blood and the offal from
slaughter houses are brought to this dock from
all parts OF the city, instead Of being put in
boats to be carried away, the stuff is cast into
the river by the contractors men-a great
saving, no doubt, to them, but not at oil bene-
fetal to the city. The stencil from this dock is
intoerable.
In Thirty-ninth street, from Eleventh avenue
to the river, Is brick row called Abattoir
place, numbering from one to forty. This row
was formerly used for fat boiling and melting
purposes; but the proprictors have removed to
Newtown creek, Long Island, and the principal
business now carried on in the row during the
day is the conversion of animal stomachs into
an epicurean dish called "tripe." At night
two or three tallow melting factories are in
operation, the odor from which is most offen-
sive.
IL rOItiotu stTccV IL an estaUilSnuout cH-
gagged in the manufacture of "sausage casings."
1t is shut up during the day; but in the evening
and night, when it is in full! operation, it fills
the air with stencil absolutely sitting. The
pork slaughter houses supply this concern with
entrails at one cent and half hog. The in
testines that have not undergone decomposition
are cleaned and prepared for the European
as well as our own marke. for sausage castings,
and the lard is packed in barrels and tierces
and sent down town for sale. The slip here
has been so filled up by the refuse thrown into
it that II is with difficulty schooners can get to
the dock at low water
The above are few of the nuisances the au-
thorities are called upon to abate. The hot
weather now prevailing renders every hours
delay that occurs in their removal detrimental
to the public health, and we trust this appeal
to vigorous action will not be allowed to pass
unheeded by the officials concerned.

In which the great Central and Western States
will assert their natural supremacy, and
crush out the extremists or corner-men Of the
continent, as we may call them--one faction
of .hese residing in the southeast, and the
other In the northeast coY'uer OF the At
lartic seaboardf When will che day come
that We of the Centre and West
shall be "Americans,n and not "Ysnkees," in
the eyes of Europe, aud indeed of all the world'
We are called yankees" now-even by our
Southern foes, who know better, geographi-
cally-mersly because 1t is seen that we are
the helots of Yankee oligarchy, patiently
submitting to Yankee rule, and fighting out
war which had its origin in Yankee intolerance
and bigotry. With seven hundred and fifty
thousand more population than the six New
England States put together, we have but two
representatives in the Senate Of the United
States, while New England has twelve; and,
not content with foisting on us the greater part
of the burdens Of the war, while at the same
time running the trade and marine Of our great
est city-tha greatest city on the continent
New England has nov capped the climax Of
but twelve and half per cent of her popula-
tion has been enrolled for the coming draft, no
less than twenty-six per cent of our population
in the first ten districts Of New York have been
enrolled for the same purpose! Does this really
mean that the lives Of two and fraction citi-
zens of New York are but worth the life of one
Massachusetts man? Or will the Bay State as
sert that one Of her lanlzy sons is able to whip
two and something over of our New York
athletes? The question is pertinent one; for,
as things are now progressing, no one can tell
how soon these questions may be brought to
very practical test. The only remedy for these
evils is for the Central and Northern States to
make strong alliance, offensive and defensive,
during the progress of the Chicago Convention,
and to place upon a platform, opposed alike to
Southeastern and Northeastern extremists,
some conservative soldier or statesman who
shall be the vigorous exponent Of national,
anti-oorner policy.

A CorroN FACTORY IN LYNcHBuRa. 1t
is not perhaps generally known that fac
tory for the manufacture of cotton yarn has
been established, and is in successful oper-
alton in this city. I: is prepared now to
turn out thirty bales day, thus furnish
ing material for about $40 yards of cotton
cloth, suitable for manufacturing plain
goods, cotton plaids for servants wear, or
for the filling used in woollen cloths to
clothe our armies and people. The factory
is situated on the canal, about two miles
below the city. and having abundant water
power and room for expansion, may be in
creased to an almest indefinite extent. We
hail every effort of this kind, as indicating
the approach of that period when we shall
be independent in fact, all the nations Of
the earth. If we had now plenty of cot
ton, woollen, and shoe factories in the Con-
federacy, We might save the millions that
are lost in attempts to run the blockade,
and provide our armies and people with all
that really need, and that at very moderate
expense.
Messrs. Slaughter, Murrell & Nowlin
deserve thanks for their efforts thus to con-
tribute to the public want, and under the
energetic superintendent Of Mr.. Jno. r.
Slaughter, we hope that the operations Of
the establishment may be largely extended

Covered Ger with moss and mould,
Thinking Of those busy members
Meath the winding sheet now cold.
Which in the days we've left behlnd.us
Passed to and fro across the sill,
Coming downward from the pathway
Passing outward up the hill.
Footsteps Of bride once crossed It
Feet in tiny slippers white,
Scarcely pressed 1t for her steppings
Like her boundings were light.
Footsteps hasting quickly homeward
Summoned when deaths hour was near,
Footsteps sad and slow and mournful
AZ they bore the funeral bier:
Footsteps of mother flying
Ger the threshold filled with joy,
Holding out her arms to welcome
Home again her sailor boy.
Childhood's footsteps slowly tottering
On to reach the garden gate,
When the weary father came not
Tho the gloom was gathering late.
Aged pilgrims footsteps passing
Feebly in no more to roam,
Till they crossed the silent river,
Onward to their heavenly home.
A noisless footstep oft hath GRO ssed IL
And cold and chilling breath,
Told them tho they saw no shadow
Twas the icy foot Of death.

The Marriage Altar.

Judge Charlton, in recent eloquent adj

ISOLATION, at Augusta. Georgia, thus
sketches the marriage scene:
have drawn from you many pictures Of
death; let me sketch for you : brief, bu.
bright scene Of beautiful life. It is the
marriage altar. A lovely female clothed in
all the freshness of youth and SURPRISING
beauty, leans upon the arm of him to whom
she has just plighted her faith; to whom
she has given up herself forever. Look in
her eyes, ye gloomy philosophers. and tell
nae if you dare, that there is no happiness
on earth.
See the trusting, the heroic devotion
which impels her to leave country, parents
for comparative stranger. She has
launched her frsil bark upon q wide and
stormy sea she has handed over her hap
piness and doom for this world, to another g
keeping; but she has done it fearlessly
for love whispers to her, that her chosen
guardian aud protector bears q manly and
noble heart. ooh, wo to him that forqets
his oath and his manhood
'Her dark wing shall the raven Dap.

His warm blood the wolf shall lap,

died in few hours after their arrival. Out
of 500 men who left Tazewell, $50 died
