Rnpcr from Corn HusIss.

We are informed that the Pittsbnrg
Paper Manufacturing Company nave
rendered the use of their mill at SteubennT
Vile, for the purpose of testing the AUS
trian patent for making paper from corn
husks. and that the same has been ac-
cepted, and the test will be commenced
this week. If, as is expected, the expert
ment proves successful, steps will imme-
diately be taken to manufacture printing
paper on an extensive scale by the new
process 1t is stated as curious fact III
connection with this new process, that
the discovery is an Austrian one, and so
much cheaper is it even in Austria,
where rags are lower than in this coun-
try, that the husks are imported and the
paper made from is used exclusively by
the government. About ten months Will
nrobably be consumed in bringing from
Austria all information as to the process
and the models of the machinery-which
American ingenuity will doubtless I'M
proye upon-at the end of which time
there will be in the market better paper
than the great majority of publishers
now use, at not more than half the pres
ent prices. F

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE AND VIRGINIA ADVERTISER

Mr.. Montgomery Blair, of Maryland, for
mery Postmaster General under Mr. Lincoln $
administration, has written letter to the Cit
zens of Talbot County, Md, in opposition to
the Registry law and to negro suffrage. lie
roundly denounces the party which passed the
law, and stigmatizes that measure as a part
of the scheme Of the Northern radicals to DIS
franchise the South He is confident that
this ambitious and revolutionary party, Will
meet with no countenance. He terms 1t q
precious Grew which, while the wal lasted,
found it possible ''to deceive the loyal people
by the cry Of <Copperhead' upon every man
who asserted the Constitutional rights Of the
people Of DIaryland and other Southern States,
as States in the Union, but he thinks it time
now to settle with the gang Of sconndrels who
avalled themselves of the public difficulties to
perpetrate unnumbered crimes against the
rights Of person and property il Nd And
he tells us that while the ostensible purpose OF
the Regitry law is the punishment OF I!ebais,
s'its real object is to screen from punishment
the lawless men who, under cover OF transcen-
dent LOYALTY, have really been the greatest
offenders against the cause Of the Union.
