/ = GREAsING WAGoNs.-This is of more i'm
portance than .wagon-owners imagine, The
following, from an unknown source, is valu-
able information on the subject, which we
trust will be duly needed - .-,1
g Few people are aware that they do
wagons and carriages more injury by greas-
ing too plentifully than in any other way.
A well-made wheel will endure common
wear from ten to twenty-five years if care
is taken to use the right kind and proper
amount of grease but if this matter is not
attended to theyswill be used up, in five or
six years. Lardsshould never be used on q
wagon, for it will penetrate the hub, and
work its way out around the lemons Of the
spokes, and spoil the wheel. Tallow is the
best lubricator for wood axle-trees, and
castor oil for iron. Just grease enough
should be applied to the spindle of o wagon
to give it light coating this is better
than more, for the surplus put on will work
out at the endssand be forced by the shout
der-bands and nut-washer into the hub
around the outside of the boxes. To oil an
iron axle-tree, first wipe the spindle clean
with a cloth wet with spirits of turpentine,
aud then apply q few drops of castor oil
near the shoulder and end One teaspoon
full :is sufficient for the WHOLE" ..,.zaz .,ls
We would add that for journals on which
there is q heavy pressure it is q good plan
to mix with the oil some lamp-black or
common SCOT. Powdered plumbago or black
lead is also employed for the same purpose.

THE LATEST DODGE OF THE GOLD
OPERATORS.

A New York letter of July % says:
Some of the gold gamblers in Wall
street managed to make good deal OF
money last night by resorting to trick
which quite throws the old time opera
lions of the mock auction of Peter Funks
into the shade. 1t was asceTtained in the
fore part of the day that the Cunard
steamer Cuba, sailing this morning,
would not take dollar in specie, wher g.
upon the premium declined to 1865.
In order to reverse this downward
movement, and give the market a sharp
twist the other way, certain parties had
| $4,000 taken from the vaults of one
of the banks, in the shape of double
eagles, done up in kegs, and these were
driven up and down the street till late
in the day, as if en- route to the place of
shipment
The bait took, nobody now could doubt
but that shipments would be large, and
straightway the market advanced to
1871, an improvement Of "a per cent
People who purchased a quarter of
million or so at the decline, about noon
were thus enabled to sell out handsome

CHINESE LABOR-LETTEH FROM

LEXINGTON, Va, July 10, 1866.
w. Gift, Esq: DEAR SIR: Your letter
of the 9th reached me this morning too
late, owing to our mail connections, for
my reply to reach you in time for your
meeting of the 18th.
Chinese labor is much more intelligent,
skilful and effective than negro labor,
and | consider the introduction of it, un~
der proper regulations, would be highly
beneficial to the South.
After Jamaica, Trinidad is the largest
of the British West India Islands, and
that it did not pine and dwindle as Ja-
maica has done, is, l am assured by resi-
dents there, chiefly owing to the intro
duction of coolie labor.
Kindly and properly treated, the Chi"
nese are the most faithful creatures in the
world. have been in the country, and
have paid some attention to their traits
of character. AS domeStics and laborers,
gardeners, and cultivators Of the soil gen.
orally, they are not surpassed by any
other people. From the first that arrive
| should like to have a cook and two
house servants. Please let me know how
to proceed in order to procure good ones
and oblige, yours truly, M. +. MAURY.

Measures TO be Taken 10 Suppress

CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. 4.-Gov
Smith, of Alabama, has Issued a vigorou,
proclamation against lawlessness IN Madi
son county, on account Of information thai
citizens are whipped, outraged and even
murdered by disguised men, and that
neither citizens or officers seem to take
steps to have the offenders arrested. The
Governor directs the sheriff to proceed
adding strength TO his posse cOnitdtus by
calling on the military, to arrest offenders,
and assures ample protection TO citizens
MOBILE Aug. 4.-The vote for Con-
gress in this city resulted as follows:
Mann, Conservative, 4,l0S, Buck, Radical,
2,S4S. Prosquez, Democrat, elec;ed TO the

Buckley, Radical for Congress, 1882 and
Worthy, Democrat, LOIS.
SELMA, Aug. 1.-The election passed of
quietly. Reports from several beats show
considerable falling off from the vote Of
last year. The vote in this city resulted
as follow: Buckley, 2,03S; Mann, 5ll. Re-
publican loss, 5ll; Democratic loss, lS2
In Union beat Mann has S2S; Buckley,
none.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. Affection
news are meager As far as heard from
the vote is less than last year. Prob4bili-
ties are in favor of Parkman, Democrat,
in the Third District, by q handsome ma
jOrity.
The contest between Worthy, Demo-
crat, and Buckly, Republican, in the Sec
ond District will be much closer than was
expected, and the latter's friends are fear
ful Of his defest, on account of a great fall
ing of in the negro vote.
MOBILE, August 4-Mann's majority in
Mobile as far as heard from is ,459; sew
eral precincts to hear from; the county
will probably give 1900 majority for
Mann. Advices from the courthouse of
Baldwin county state that a negro
mob took possession of the polls, beat one
white man, and prevented any Democratic
negroes from voting. They we're very
rioious, and the sheriff could net control
them. That precinct gives Buckley go
majority.
NOZZLE, Aug. A private telegram
from Montgomery, Ala, addressed 10 a
government officer in Washington says
Buckley, of the Montgomery district,
Buck, of Mobile, and Hays, Radical, are
elected to Congress.
The third district is doubtful, Macon,

Republican majority. The full returns
