BELLE IsLE.-We availed ourselves OF
an invitation to visit the celebrated "Old
Dominion Nail Works on this island yes
terday. The company have just moved
into their commodious building, which has
been in process Of construction for some
time. We were shown over the works by
Mr.. John D. Baird-who may be said TO
have been reared at this place-who fully
explained all details from the putting OF
the pigs of iron in the pudding furnace to
the branding and shipping for market and
we regret that our want Of space prohibits
our imparting the same intelligence to the
uninitiated. This company manufactures
all kinds Of nails, from the cight-inch
spike to the fine three penny, turning out
about three hundred kegs Of all sorts daily.
About six thousand tons of pig iron are
worked up per year, consuming over two
hundred thousand tons of coal. Employ
ment is given to over one hundred and fifty
men and boys; the standard wages are
paid. and pay yments made regularly every
fortnight. K great many improvements
have been made and others are in
contemplation and We are confident
that tho long established reputation Of
these works will continue A No. l. Among
the improvements is Turbine water
wheel, which was put in position by the
late lamented Robert Baird, Of the Man.

death. The kegs are manufactured on
the island. Mr.. Douglas Baird Is general
superintendent, and it is under his unri-

these works have gained national repu.

ASSAULT UPoS FREEDMAN By SOME OF
HIS BRETHRES.-Night before last, as a
negro named Peter cambridge was passing
through Penitentiary bottom, on his way
home, he was attacked by a party Of negro
men, who swore to kill him because he did
not Join them in their meetings and drills.
cambridge, by great effort, succeeded in
escaping from them without receiving
any injury worth mentioning. Policeman
George Hicks, who met him shortly after he
had been assaulted. went with him home.
cambridge has always been opposed to the
drills and meetings of the negroes, and has
repeatedly refused to take any part in
them. On this account has his life been
threatened by the negroes, and he has
been waylaid by them. From whom has
the negro to fear the most danger! Has
it yet been known that a negro has been
threatened or assaulted by white men for
attending these meetings? We have yet
to hear of such case. Perhaps those
gentlemen of the Bureau who fear so much
for "poor Cutiee," and report to Washing
ton of injustice done him by "white !" re-
bells, can enlighten us on this matter.
