A REPUBLICAN VIEW.
From the Cincinnati Gazette. !


General Howard appears to have been, In tho
first place, incompetent for the business; In the
next place, Indifferent to law or regulauOns ac-
countability, so that, to this day, the bulk Of his
disbursements haveIto be be received on trust. In
the next place he seems to have thought that the
benevOence OF his mission would cover up all tr-
regularitIes and square his accounts. The worst
feature OF the case is, that the General Of the
Army has sustained such l0oSeness, such indiffer-
ence to PLAN laws and such neglect OF account
ability IN the army dlsbursements.

By means of an ingenious process, late
ly devised, barrel can now be made
consisting oil but one stave. This, 1t sp-
pears, ia accomplished by turning a
steamed log, Of the length OF a barreb
against a sharp knife Of the requisite
length, and thus cutting it into a con-
tnuous sheet Of wood Of the thickness
Of barrel stave. Enough Of this ribbon
Of wood Is then cut off for the circumfer-
ence Of a barrel, and crozGd or chamier.
cd by suitable machinery. To give the
barrel proper shape, sits are cut in
both ends by gang OF saws, and the
heads Are thus brought to the requisite
size as compared with the bilge. The
usual number OF hoops are put on, and
the barrel thus made is said to be equally
as strong as those manufactured in the
ordinary way, the principal saving being
in the amount Of time and labor involved
in the process, the cost OF the material
being about the same In either case.
