The Cane Fibre.

Tho remarkable invention which was
announced just before the beginning of the
late war for the manufacture of cane fibre
by steam guns is in the hands Of company
of gentlemen of great enterprise and So
gacity. The manufacture of this fibre had
begun before the war, and was suspended
by the commencement Of hostilities-t
material for the fabric being confined to the
South.
This process, without going into details,
is the placing of tightly compressed bun
dies of reeds into steam cylinders or guns,
and subjecting them to the action of steam
at q pressure of about 10 pounds to the
inch for about ten minutes, after which they
are blown into the air by the force Of the
steam in the guns, and the fbres are sepa-
rated by the expansion of the steam amongst
them. The guns are constructed to bear a
pressure of 1000 pounds, and the boilers to
bear 600 pounds to the square inch. The
amount of pressure required, however, does
not exceed rs to so pounds.
We have seen the fibre thus manufac-
tured. 1t is a mass Of completely disinte-
grated fibres, and is ready for manufacture
into some Of the coarser fabrics with little
or no boiling or grinding. For the finer
manufactures it has to be passed through
the process Of bleaching and refining.
If We consider the endless supply Of the
raw material to be found in the southern
States, and the simple process by which the
fibre is produced, We may we'll imagine
that it will cost less than any other kind of
fibre ready to hand to be made into sheets.
The reed abounds on all the rivers from
the Roanoke to the Gulf, and the crop can
not be exhausted. Three years. time will
reproduce better crop than that which
has been cut down.
The company propose to establish bat
terry (now ready to be put up) Of four guns
at Norfolk, to bs supplied with reed from
the Dismal swamp, the Roanoke, and other
waters where the growth of reed is mex
haustable. The fibre manufactured in Nor
foik will be transported to the manufacto-
ries OF paper and boards, which it is pro-
posed shall be located in Richmond and
Baltimore. With reference to that to be
located here, a highly intelligent officer Of
the company was in the CITY the past week
examining sites and asoertaining what were
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1869-02-15

the chances to make arrangements for the
nurpose. We trust the company viii be
able to carry out it's plan 80 far as this city
Ia concerned. It will be q new and very
interesting branch Of manufacture. Is
The reed fibre costs less than half that of
straw, and is much better. The company
have not turned their attention to printing
paper, and do not at this time look to that
branch of manufacture as source of profit.
They have struck out an entirely new field,
which expands largely as 1t is surveyed.
They propose, besides manufacturing box
board and roofing paper, to make wall-pa-
per and paper slabs for partitions in houses !;
nay, even houses composed of the tibrous
slabs fitted into iron framing. Specimens
of the board we have seen, one-sl1th mon u.
thick, are very stout and compact. Iney
may be made Of any required thickness oy
multiplying the layers. There is no SHRINK
ing or expansion in it, and the sheets are
united by liouid which makes them PROOF
against the ravages of insects.
When we consider that paper anu
papier-mache are now used for immune
rable purposes, including such things as ' .,
ter pipes, tanks, trunks, cofns, boats pails'
tubs, corsets, foor-cloths, table-coVers, orha-
mental shop fronts, mantel pieces, coach pan
nels, etc., ETC., and that this cane fibre IS the
cheapest material yet produced to Work
into these forms, we may imagine what
demand will spring up for ia demand
which will be ever increasing, while the
supply of the raw material is inexhaustiole.
The enterprise is but in its inciplency.
It promises to be great business. 1t is IN
the hands of highly practical gentlemen.
The South supplies the raw material, and
il would be better if the manufactures OF
the paper and boards were here also. The
company is DESTROYS that they shall be.

MrcA.-In answer to an inquiry of a cor
respondent we make the following state
ment Mica, (Latin, noico, to shine,) COM
monty called "isinglass," is q name given
in mineralogy to group Of the silicates dis
tinguished for their remarkable lamellar
structure, that is, being composed of thin
plates or scales,-and for the elasticity OF
their lamina or scales, and their half-me-
tallic lustre. This mineral crystalizes in
right rhomboidal prisms of l20 degrees,
which separate with greatest facility in
plates or scales parallel with the base of
the crystal. These may be sub-divided
until several thousand plates may be re-
quired to make the thickness Of an inch.
These plates are sometimes found of IN area
of several square feet. They are usually
transparent, elastic, and tough.
There are varieties of mica in color and
refraction, which we need not describe par
ticularly. Mica is found in granite and
other igneous formations, in limestone and
SUI pcuilHc, 10 IL 1oiStltuclo VI EAhi''Sf
mica-elate, and other kindred rocks, and ia
found both disseminated and in veins.
The uses to which mica is applied do not
warrant the conclusion that the demand for
it is likely to be very great. 1t is used
mainly for stove-doors and lanterns; some
times it is substituted for window-glass,
especially on war vessels, on which the
conclusion of discharge of heavy guns is
apt to fracture glass: the toughness and
pliancy of the mica make it quite suitable
to resist the effects of such severe concus-
sions. Mica is also used for microscopes
and some optical instruments, to which its
admirable transparency and even surface
are well adapted. There is much of it in
Virginia. A large discovery of this mine
raj has been made in Louisa county, but we
apprehend the reports of its value are exag-
gerated. At best mica cannot be an article
of trade to large extent and when We re-
member that it takes a great deal of chip
ping and work to get out only few plates
! that can be used-sometimes those few con-
Stunning very great block-we may safely
say that mica is not the "biggest thing I"
in the world by long way.

General Grant---Plain Talk.

= The reply Of General GRANT to the COM
mittee Of Congress who called to tell him
thss no has been elected President is the
most remarkable speech ever made by .
President to committee of Congress. II
rightly telegraphed 1t Is bold defiance OF
Congress-. He said that he would select
capable, honest men for his advisers, and
If they did not prove efficient he should
remove them. he should have no more
hesitation about removing his own ap-
pointces than those of his predecessor !''3
II that does not mean defiance OF the
tenure"of-ofice Law it can mean nothing. !.
The whole speech ig bold assertion OF !
the dignity, stamina, and resolution OF the
Executive. General GRANT means to act
upon his own judgment, keep his own
councils, and exclude al impairment in
reference or dictation--personal or par
tisan.
This is bold. manly, and independent
send.osf It will be examined and studied
patiently and impatientiy. Many will find
it most fitting to read it standing upon their
heads.
If General GRANT means what he says,
and he has not been in the habit Of saying
what he does not mean, his speech indl-
Gates greet deal. 1t has all the iron OF
JACKSON. There is certainly soon to be
man In the Presidential chair. His verbal
message of Saturday to Congress will fall
like bomb In that body. They will I'M
deretand that he means to be master Of the
situation, and that he means, if he can, to
meet that necessity of revolution-that the
Zero Of 1t shall bring order out Of the
chaos which revolution produces.
.Th's is according to the telegram In the
Journal Of Saturday. The meagre report OF
the Press Association is silent on this point.

Many of our friends, of course,
heard the artillery music, which last
Tuesday evening announced the raising
of the required amount for the rail
road.
The twenty thousand dollars have
been raised, and we may now look
tor work to commence at an early day
on the bed. But the amount is not
all that will be required. More will
be needed, for the road can hardly be
built and equipped tor that amount OF
money. The Directors feel safe, how.
ever, as they announce, in going for
ward in the work and relying upon
the liberality and business sense of the
Toledo people to see that enough more
is made up to complete the road. We
hope the friends OF the road will not
relax their efforts to enlist in its behalf
the sympthies and interest of all those
who have not yet contributed to this
