investigation of the troubles between Col.

New Hamphshire state Convention.
CoNcORD, January s.-The Republican
State Convention met to-day.
Aresolution was adopted, recognising in
Andrew Johnson the just citizen, sincere
patriot, and distinguished statesman; de-
claring that the tone Of his recent annual
message to Congress meets our warm appro-
val, and augurs well for the success Of his
administration. We pledge him our hearty
confidence and support in all his efforts to
restore harmony and mutual trust between
the different sections of the Union, upon the
principles of universal liberty TO all.
A resolution declares that scheme to
plant, by foreign bayonets, an Austrian
despotism in Mexico, originated under the
guise Of hostility to the United States, is a
standing insult to our honor, and a menace
to our republican institutions.
Hon. George G. Fogg presided over the
Convention, which was largely attended and
harmonious throughout.

Exfreme nfeasurea.

Accounts from Mexico show that ex-
treme measures are being used toward the
people. Maximilian at first tried mild
measures, but finding that they did not
succeed, the French officers were instruct
ed to use the utmost severity. A gentle-
man who travelled from the City of Mexi-
co to Vera Cruz, states that the read Is
lined on each side with the bIackehed
corpsss of guerrillas. There are. no trials
or courtmartials. If a man is caught
robbing, or even looks suspicious, be is
promptly strung up by the roadside.
Sous 1ieutenants are at once Judge, jury
and executioners. As consequence, q
reign of terror prevails all over Mexic9
except along the Rio Grande.

BosToS, January S.--Goxernor Andrews
has sent 10 the Senate 9 special message,
covering several important documents Of
local interest for the consideration of the
Legislature. The message states that the
total expenditures incurred by Massaehu-
sets on account of the war amounts to ST.
7O5,1O9. This sum only includes such ex-
penses as have occurred under the direction
and supervision of the several State Depart
ments, as authorized by legislative enact
ments; as far as ascertained the expenses
incurred by cities and towns for bounties
and other military purposes amount to
nearly an equal sum.

HOTEL BURNER.
The case Of Robert Martin, alleged hotel
burner, who was discharged two or three
days ago from military custody and imme-
diately re-arrested on a civil warrant, came
up to-day before o. S. Commissioner 0s-
borne. Some testimony was taken and the

day, reports that on the night of the 23d her
captain, John Campbell, was washed over
board by heavy sea.
ANOTHER QUARREL.
The secret organization among the French
Canadian residents in the State Of New York
has commenced an internal quarrel similar
to that of the Fenians. One faction is anx-
ious to plunge headlong into war, declare
against England, establish 8 Canadian re-
public with Capitol and Department at
Elmira, N. Y. and invade Canada The
other faction is opposed to any such rash ac-
ton! The Head Centre or Chairman of the
convention has published a letter in which
he takes ground against any hasty action.
MATTERS IN EeRTH CAROLINA.

cluding Mayor, Town Commissioners and
s9udges, they having beon appointed by the
Provisional Governors Itis probsble that
the military authorities will direct the Off
GERS heretofore acting for the State to con-
tinue their functions for the present.
LETTER PROM MALLORY.
NEW YoRK, January s-s. R. Mallory,
Esq, Naval Secretary. f-thc Confederacy,
writes letter from Fort Lafayette 10 the citi-
zens Of Florida, in which he says that all
who study the strides of public sentiment
on the subject Of slavery during the last
quarter Of century cannot fail to see that
with or without the proposed amendment to
the Federal Constitution slavery can neye,
be re-established within the American
Union He says it is idle to speculate upon
the advantages or disadvantages of freedom
to the negro, and the fact cannot be ignored
that he is a permanent element Of Southern
population, and with reference to Florida
all schemes for colonization or depopulatior
are useless. His interests are identified
with the state, liberty and property, anc
entitled to protection. He favers the ad

the wooI growers convention.


On Tuesday, at Columbus, as we learn
from the correspondence of the Cincinnati
COnlmereiGI the Ohio Wool Growers
Convention met in the Senate Chamber
and was called to order by the President
Hon. r. N. Montgomery, of Mahoning
who made neat and appropriate address;
congratulating his hearers OnitlTs auspices
under which they were convened as in
happy contrast with the circumstances of
twelve months ago. he presented mum
Der of topics which underwent discussions
at some length, resulting in the adoption
of the following propositions as the sense
of the meeting: That the cost of labor
pertaining to the production Of wool has
doubled within the last ten years, AMI now
reached $l.5O per day; that the prOduc-
tion Of merino wool, at the present rate of
expenses, costs rs cents per pound; that
the convention disapproves the policy of
terminating the Canadian Reciprocity
Treaty; that the wool growers interests

As the time is now approaching when

situated on the side of gravel hill, cover
ing pit ten feet deep and twelve feet
square, and is simply frame structure
over the pit, about four or Ave feet in
height; the sides of the pit are boarded
up, and the drainage is through the gravel
Finding it expensive to haul ice from
the neighboring ponds and rivers, he last
winter filled his house with snow, after the
custom, flor my friend is a traTeler,) SIM
ply rolling it up in masses, and with a
wheelbarrow conveying it to the house
first lining the sides of the pit with straw,
and after it was filed covering the snow
with the same material, thus filling his
house without cost, and securing an abun-
dsnt supply of good ice for his large fam

settled down to compact mass, when'the
spring and summer heats affected it, and

Manufacturing Establishments Of
,,.1 .- Cleveland.
Deem'ng the opening of the new year
an opportune time to glance at the mate
rial elements of the prosperity Of our city,
we shall commence Immediately the pub
lication of separate notices of our various
manufacturing establishments: An an
nual review of the industry of city shows
what progress it has made in wealth and
Importance, and, besides furnishing data
upon which to base calculations of its
future prosperity, if the exhibit be favor
able and truthful, serves as means of
increasing its growth and capacities by
attracting capital and population. Manu-
featuring has become the leading business
of Cleveland, and must always be ths
principal source of its prosperity. There
are now in successful operation in this city
something like two hundred manufactures
of various kinds, conducted on as la'ge
ascale as any in the United States. Ofoil
refneries alone we have about thirty, the
majority of which do an extensive business.
Workers in Iron, such as Boiler-makers,
Car-roofers, Founders, Stone-makers, Scale
makers, Sewing-machine makers, Railing
makers, &C., SC; Brass and Steel workers
manufactures in wood; Brewers, Soap
and Candle makers, Paper-makers, and
manufacturers of miscellaneous articles, -
not to mention establishments specially de-
voted to repairing-swell the list, and de-
serve particular mention. -
The publication of all the facts and fig
ure of general interest relating to these es-
tablishments viii necessarily require much
time in the research, and labor in the pre-
paration; and while we bespeak for our
the attention and assistance of
proprietors of manufaetoriss, We also re-
quest any whose establishments may be
omitted, to furnish us with such informa-
tion as may be useful'to supply the omis-
sion.
We commence this review to-day, as
will be seen by an article in another col
1mn, on the Oil Refining Business of
Cleveland, giving something of its early
history, anaccount of Gthe process of REIN
ing, together with list of Refneries in
operation, to be followed by the details be-
fore referred to. ''''. 5Es7,
