C0-0peratiOn.''

Does it pay the manufacturer best to
persuc the usual old mode of hiring his
workmen for the least money, or to inter
est them by cooperation? The manu-
featuring interest Of Staunton is rapidly
increasing, and it is we'll for us to study
this question. Facts, as well as theory,
answer Cooperation. s..eatt
Under the old system the selfish rule
of conduct is for Capital to give Labor as
little as possible, and as a natural result
Labor gives Capital as little return as it
dare, with very Indifferent interest sin
the quality of the article made or the
success of the business. They both quick
ly take advantage of the necessities of the
other to rise or fall. They stand all
through their connection in direct antag-
onism towards each other, which not un-
frequently results in strikes, lockout, RI
OTIS, loss and suffering.
A practical example of the complete
reverse of this system is furnished us in
an English Coal Mine. A large Company
from the above cause had Advertised to
sell out, having lost continuously for years,
and not expecting to realize one half Of
their investment, from the sales.
A proposal was made from their miners.
The Company to receive a certain rate Of
interest on their money, the hands. to be
entitled to draw their wages weekly. The
scale to be regulated by Board of Min
ers and the Directors. Then all profit
above the interest, cost of labor, &C., was
to be, divided equally between Capital and
Labor. The miners who let their money
lay we're allowed the same rate of inter.
est as other stock owners. The result was
constant work, better coal, no waste, the
miners watched each other, and at the
end of the second year they had over five
per cent extra to divide between the here
tofore bankrupt Company and idle mi
ners. Il. &c.,
Each of our manufacturers and farm
ers can easily arrange with their workmen
some simple plan Of co operation which
will render their interests identical and
add to our general prosperity.

GREAT HURRICANE AND FREsHET IN
MAINE-IMMENsE Loss OF PROPERTY, &c.
The additional reports of the great hur-
ricane in the East on the 18th instant show
that the destruction of property was very
great in Maine. An account says:
The hurricane at PASSPORT was terrific
Vessels, wharves stores and fish houses were
smashed to atoms. Great quantities of fish
and oil were destroyed. The steamer New
York narrowly escaped loss with all on board
She was driven ashore and lost both anchors
Twenty-seven vessels got ashore in Romney's
bay. The schooner Rio was lost in Romney's
bay, with all on board. A bark at New
River wax lost with all on board, seventeen
in number Grand Menau is swept away,
with all tie weirs and smoke houses The
towns oe Lubec, Pembroke and Perry lose
heavily. Many houses and barns were blown
down. Tho loss cannot be less than FIVE
millions dollars. A large part Of the town
is perfect wreck. n .4,rs ss4f tst

great pleasure to recommend it. 1t does its work
admirably, and comes fully up TO all claimed for
it. One man witha horse can with your Planter,
do the work, which in the old way, it, requires
four men and one horse to do. It is SO simple in
its construction that there is no danger Of its
getting out of order. believe it to be the best
machine of its kind that has ever been made.

/ In the United States Circuit Court at Rich
mond, Va, Tuesday, the cases against delin-
quent postmasters were all continued until the
next term, with che exception of suit 3l2--
United States against j.. B. Lowry, late of
Hampton, Va, which was dismissed. The
postmasters were delinquent because they
were compelled by the Confederate Govern.
ment to hand over all the sums they possessed
upon the occurrence ofsthe late war. Since
the termination of the struggle the United
States Government authorities have, !institu.,
ted a suit against the respective postmasters
for the recovery Of the funds E.laza. ols.
Hays Parker, noted Texas OUTLAW and
bandit leader, committed suicide at the resi-
ldence OF Mrs. Fields, near Mckinney, about
ten days. since: He was afflicted with rheu-
matlsm, and feeling conviction that he could
not escape capture, he took his own life, He
was perhaps the most desperate and hardened
of all the Williams who have so long invested
that portion Of Texas. During the war he
was member Of company commanded by
the noted Bill Anderson, who vas at ono time
a captain under Quantrell It is generally
understood that Parker, then known as HAYS,
was the murderer Of Col. Erwin, in Grayson
county, Of the soldier Robinson, in Collin
county, and, of old man Loving, in Dallas
county. These are probably but few Of his
recent victims. How. many have fallen by
his hands no man can tell He was the lead
er OF the Williams who. attempted to assassi-
nate Judge Hart, and had in bis possession,
when he killed himself, the Judges hat, and
various articles Of wearing apparel belonging
to Judge Gray.

ficient, and to put in gentleman of
doubtful capacity, the Cincinnati Com
mercial, Republican, remarks:
We have not the slightest objection
to seeing Mr.. Foulds in the service of
his country in the capacity Of Postmas-
ter, but, as he is resident of Coving-
ton and the Postmaster in that town is
an old gentleman, and not able to give
much attention to the Office, and with
al in comfortable circumstances, we sug-
gcst to the President that he should re-
move Jesse II. Grant from the Coving-
ton Post-office, and appoint Thomas III.
Foulds to that place, permitting G. w.
Thomas to be Postmaster of Cincinnati
while he is preferred for that office by
those interested most directly and large
ly in its good management"
The old gentleman here alluded to, of
course, is none other than the father OF

A dispatch from Memphis contains

some time since:
A prisoner in the Helena, Arkansas,
Jail, yesterday overheard two negro
prisoners discussing the assassination
of General Hindman. He informed
the jailor, who together with the Mar
shall took one of them out and after
charging him with the crime, he con-
fessed to being one of nine negroes
who had formed u conspiracy to burn
the town of Helena and avenge the
hanging of negro last September for
rape that three of the party had gone
to Hindman's house for the purpose of
burning it, he having prosecuted the
negro who was hung, and one of the
number seeing Hindman sitting by the
window. had lcveled a musEet and
fired, killing him. The others becom-
ing frightened had fled and abandoned
the plot to burn the town. Five OF
them have been arrested, and are now
in Jail. The authorities are now search
ing for the others.

which obligations have been contracted,
It is hereby provided and declared that
the faith of the United States is SOL

or its equivalent, of all the obligations
of the United States not bearing inter-

obligations not already due shall be re-
deemed or paid before maturity, unless
at such time United States notes shall be
convertible into coin at the option of the
holder, or unless at such time bonds of

make provisions at the earliest practical
BILE period for the redemption of the
United States notes in coin.
