Richland Manufacturing Establishment.
Having few leisure moments to spare
the other day, We concluded that there WAS
no more profitable way to spend the time
than in strolling through this establish
ment aud investigating the workings Of its
machinery. Through the POliteness7 Of the
agent, Mr.. Sam Orr, We were conducted
through every depar tment, and found, a
little to our establishment, everything in
perfect working order, and all departments
moving with perfect system. 1t will be
remembered that when the present compa,
ny took charge of this Factory at the close of
the war, there Was hardly piece Of perfect
machinery in it. The machinery had Ell
Their been worn out during the war or parts
Of it carried away by pilfering soldiers
Possessing, however a limited capital
aud an unlimited energy. the company,
with the assistance Of the best machinists,
had succeeded in starting up some of the
spiudles and perhaps a few looms, when
the terrible tornado, whose terrible hand
some Of US felt and none Of us have forgot
ten, carried away the roof Of their building
and crushed in the walls and immense tim
bers upon the machinery, damaging il to
such an extent as to require q considera-
bic outlay of cash, and a great deal of time
aud labor to repair it. But now, every cog
and wheel, and all the intricate aud impor-
tanI parts of the machinery are new, ell
the work having been done by their own
WoTkmen under the superintendencs Of
their head machinisl, Mr.. Smith There
is no part of the machinery used 10 the es-
adjustment that cannot be duplicated in its
own machine shop, and duplicates Of the
parts most liable to break or wear out are
always on hand, ready for immediate use.
Thus it will be seen that the present COM
pany has labOred under many and weighly
disadvantages since il has had charge Of
the Factory. and deserve something more
than the hollow applause of the public for
It's success in battling against the ravages
of wars aud tOrnadoes. The immensity of
the achievement can be appreciated only by

The Senate in Executive session Friday
resumed the consideration Of ;hs nomina-
ton of General SCho6eld as Secretary Of
War. The debate Was confined to the pre-
Amble and resolution introduced Thursday
in substance as follows:
WHERBAs, The order Of the President
in removing Secretary Stanton from Office
was unconstitutional and illegal, but on 40
count Of Mr.. Stanton having on Tuesday
rslinquished said Office therefore,
ResozUed, That the Senate do advise, and
consent to the appointment Of General Scho-
field.
There was not full Senate. but the par
ties separated on the preamble as they did
on the impeachment articles, while the vote'
on Ghe resolution itself was without such
distinction. Both the preamble and rsso-
luton was adopted. therefore General scho-
field is confirmed as Secretary of War.

The final defeat of impeachment is com
mented on very severely BY extreme men
in the Republican party. Several are so
ineensed I'D to favor an adjournment Of
Congress within two weeks, in order to let
the President, as they express it, have full
swing until the Presidential election, so that
such men as FesSenden, Trumbull & Co.
may see how they have aided the demo
cratic party by voting against impeachment.

Vases.
BY T. IRWIN, DUBLIN, IRELAND.

One handled Vase, which like fair girl stands
With white arm Topped upon her side, before
An evening we'll, amid the villaged lands,
Listening to hear her lovers step once more,
While rural affairs fume above the sands,
And from the wavy deep the fishers oar;
How long, since thou in some Ach@an home
Stood water-brimmd, have rolled away the years
While the barbarian, swarming ruined Rome
Buried beneath the wrecks of house and shrine
Those craven groups upon thy marble sides?
That vailed maiden, wounded and in tears,
By yonder little Cupid-shape divine,
That tiny joking boy-brd with loosed bow,
From whose broad, merry forehead laughing curls
Hang round his cheeks in umbes shaking from the blow
And what the other group that near them glides?
Bacchantes they, carreering in mad whirls
Along the beaten grass
With all the raptures and the grace of wine,
With jars and flutes and cymbals round and round;
Some holding each their hair, elate or bowed,
Elastic footed to the measure bound
And with robes flying, floating gestures pass
Like some white drift of stormy autumn cloud
And, last what shapes of youth and age see?
marble image of sweet Summer, who,
With saddest mien, though formed for pleasure now
Turning Ger smoothest shoulder his dropped brow
Der which garland weaves
Of lush loose berries and of languid leaves
Upon an aged man, who hardly breathes,
Resting at foot of yon sepulchral tree
Waiting for Death-bids him last adeu.

Written for The Irish Republic.
The Flag of Erin.
Banner of our Irish nation,
Take again thy rightful station,
For the robber rag Of crimson
Must be torn from out thy shore
High in Liberty's proud vanguard
Thou shalt float our green old standard
Hidden long meath dust and ruin,
Up and face the day once more.
Up and wave Ger mount and valley,
All the true shall round thee rally,
And the false shall flee before thee,
Swept as by whirlwinds might;
Down with despots-slave and master,
Cet and Saxon-may disaster
Crush their crafty, crawling spirits
In the dust from Eires sight
Cleave thy cloud and rush to glory
Sunburst that hast waved where CORY
Swept Potomac, Rhine and Tagus
Past the Irish soldiers graves,
Lying far from sad old Fire,
Who, Prometheus-like, in weary
Chains lies bound, prey to vultures,
On her rock beside the waves.
Glorious flag, whose radiance golden
Shed upon the ages olden
Light when all around was darkness,
Fondly on thy folds we gaze;
For no fasehood nor dishonor
Ever stained our dear old banner
Sanctifed by blood of heroes;
God make bright its future days.
Flag of beauty, flag of splendor,
May old Erin's sons defend her,
Till the light shall fash above her,
Free as shines the MONDAY sun;
Till the hated links that bind her
Shall with scorn be flung behind her.
Till fair Freedom smiles upon her
Freedom by her yalor won.
