Our Ship Building Timber.

The Commercial Herald calls attention 10 the
fact that seventeen years ago Captain Simpson built
a brig at Coos Bay, in Oregon, known as the .dyGgo.
This vessel is l75 tons burden, and has ever since
been carrying heavy cargoes Of coal below deck, and
heavy deck-lOads Of lumber. Yet she il sound to-
day, shows no strain and her hull has cost nothing
for repairs. The brig Nautilus was built six years
ago at Coos Bay, we belive, and has ever since been
engaged in the Tahiti trade. She is one Of the fast
est vessels ever sailing out Of the San Francisco, and
after six years. trial in the tropics is as sound as
ever. These facts are worth recording. OF course
the newer 6r-built vessels do not furnish such con-
elusive data. But quite a feet of these vessels has
already been built out Of Or and cedar, aud the
owners appear to be well satisfied with their ventures.
The two large ships Wildwood and Wssiern Shore
rate well, and there is every probability that they
VIII last as long es the average Eastern-built ships.
In addition to the above we can add a good word
for the timber Soon after Naval Constructor Much
arrived at the Mare Island Navy Yard bis attention
was attracted to this Pacific Coast wood, tho long,
clear and symmetrical pieces Of timber excited bis
admiration, and be made some tests as to its strength
as compared with white oak; taking a piece Of each
kind Of wood four feet long and an inch and q half
square, and resting them at the ends suspended
weights from the middles until they broke. The
yellow fir. more commonly know by the misnomer
Oregon pine, sustained twenty pounds more weight
than the oak. Then, after inspecting the condition
OF this timber used in the construction Of the Navy
Yard tug, which has been exposed on the stocks for
months to the elements, he was satisfied that IL waa
greatly superior to the ordinary white oak for the
planking and ceiling Of vessels. SO, ut his recon-
mendation, the Construction Department at Wash
ington has ordered that the United States man-of-
war .MohicGn, now rebuilding at this Yard, shsll be
planked up with Oregon pine. The Navy Yard
authorities have used this wood for years in repairing
war vessels, but not 60 extensively as will be Ia the
case Of the -MohicdR. Master Builder Joseph Per-
kins, who has undoubtedly built more vessels than
any man on the Pacific Coast, says unequivccally
that it is one of the best ship-building timbers ia the
VdHgo Chronicle, Dec. II.

Gen. Bartlett's Tribute to the South.

At the Lexington centennial celebration on
the 10Th inst, Gen. VIM. F. Bartlett of Pitts
field, Mass, made an excellent speech, and
gave utterances to sentiments of genuine patri-
otism, which will touch responsive chord in
the hearts Of those who fought beneath the
folds of the Conquered Banner" The time
and place of this expression was most oppor-
tune, as the Lexington demonstration is the
forerunner of centennial observances in this
country, intended to commemorate the deeds
of courage and heroism displayed by the foun-
ders of our government. The spirit of recon-
cliation between the sections will become pop
ular, and enlist the sympathy of Confederate
soldiers with the prospect of a lasting and
fraternal peace, based upon a generous and
magnanimous recognition of their services,
sacrifices and genuine patriotism growing out
of fidelity to principle. The words of conf
dence and respect emanating from Gen. Bart
lett on the initial battle-ground Of the Revo-
luton, deserve to remain upon perpetual record,
and be cherished as the sentiments of a brave
soldier wishing to honor the conduct of a gal
liant foe, between whom fraternal relations are
already established, and whose united efforts
for the prosperity and progress of the country
will assuredly maintain liberty and bring hap
piness to the entire nation. We extract the
noble and generous sentiments of Gen. Bartlett,
whose kindly expressions will reach the hearts
of hundreds among our readers who wore the
gray:
Sir the only really belligerent people in the
country to-day, North and South, are those
who, while the war lasted, followed carefully
the paths of peace. Do not believe that the
light and dirty froth, which is blown northward
and scattered over the land oftentimes for ma
licious purposes, represents the true current OF
public opinion at the South. Look to their
heroes their leaders, their Gordons, their Lees,
their Johnsons, their Lamar, Ransom and
Ripley, and tell me if you find in their utter
ances anything but renewed loyalty and devo-
ton to united country. These are the men,
as our great and good Gov. Andrew told you
at the close of the war-these are the men by
whom and through whom you must restore the
! South, instead of the meaner men for whom
power is only 2 synonym for plander;. !.
As an American am as proud OF the men
who charge i 50 1ravely with Picketts Division
on our lines at Gettysburg, as l am of the men
who bravely met and repulsed them there.
Men cannot always choose the right cause, but
when having chosen that which conscience die
tates, they are ready to die for it, if they justify
not their cause, they at least ennoble them
selves, and the men who for conscience sake
fought against their government at Gettysburg
ought easily to be forgiven by the sons of the
men who for conscience sake fought against
the government at Lexington and Bunker
Hill. Oh, sir, as Massachusetts was first in n
war, so let her be first in peace, and she shall
forever be first in the hearts of her country

Agricultural Steam Engines.

Mr.. EDITOR: As steam power is being very
much used on our farmes, we would like to
make statement of what we are now doing
with two six-horse agricultural engines. We
are running 4S inch circular saw mill, and
cut six thousand feet of lumber per day. We
regard this combination of power a perfect
success, for with these two engines we run two
gins and two threshers, and can keep our en-
gines at work all the year round. Our engines
and saw mill were manufactured BY R. Tozer,
of Columbia, S. c., and it gives us much pleas
ure to state that We find this machinery to be
all the manufacturer promised in his contract
and can cheerfully recommend him to any OF
our friends who may anticipate purchasing
either engines or saw mills.

niversary of the First Battle of Manassas.
Gen. Hampton is expected to preside, and an
Grafton will be delivered by Gen. T. NJ Logan,
who now resides in Richmond, Va. The sur
vivors number some of the most gallant sol
diers of the war, including one or two compa-
MES from Anderson, who should make arrange
ments to be fully represented at the proposed
reunion. The objects in view are highly
commendable, and we are glad to see that the
LEGION" is determined to perform its share of
the work in rescuing from oblivion the noble
deeds of Confederate soldiers.

The News and Courier Libel Suit.

The indictment of the Charleston Ne70s and
Courier for libel is attracting large share OF
attention. Messrs. Riordan and Dawson, pro-
prietors Of the aforesaid newspaper, were pros
ecuted in eight cases for libel, involving publi-
cations which extended through several years,
and including charges against c. O. Bowen for
bigamy, forgery, election frauds and instigatlng
murder. The indictment tried last week was
that duplicating Bowen in the murder OF Col.
VIM. Parker White, which occurred during
the war. The trial was confined to Capt. F.
W. Dawson, the principal editor of the Neaos
and Courier, who was the real author of the
articles alleged to be libelous. The defence
admitted the publication of the editorials upon
which the prosecution was based, and intro
duced mass of evidence to sustain the truth
of their allegations that Bowen was connected
with the murder of Col. White. Among the
witnesses produced was Eli G. Grimes, who
committed the murder, and who testified
strongly that Bowen was the instigator of the
awful deed. He was q private in Bowen's
company at the time, and it was from fear,
shoot Col. White. His testimony was positive
and uneouiyocal on this point, and fully sus-
tanned the charges made against Bowen by the
Ne,cs and Courier. The examination of wit
nesses began on Tuesday mccning and ended
on Saturday afternoon. The argument of
counsel was heard on Monday, and we pre-
sumo that verdict is already rendered at this
writing, unless mistrial takes place.
The srraignment of our contemporary is ex-
eeedingly significant. Through all these years
of public corruption and official pluudering the
newspapes has been the only bulwark of the
people against the onslaughts of villains and
regues. From its position and facilities, the
Ne1s and Courier has borne the brunt of the
battle in detecting rascality and exposing the
characters of unscrupulous men in official posi-.
tion. This duty has been performed fearlessly
and uncompromisingly, which involved un-
sparing denunciation of thieves and scoundrels.
Hence, when an attempt is made to muzzle its
utterances and contract the sphere of legitimate
Journalism, there arises q feeling of sympathy
among the masses for the brave defenders of
their rights and liberties. We trust that the
verdict will sustain Capt Dawson, as the
charges are more than sustained against Bowen,
in our opinion 1t is said to be the first crimi-
nal prosecution of newspaper for libel ever
known in South Carolina, and a verdict of
guilty will subject our friend to fine and i'm
nrisonment, at the discretion of the Court.
such result would tend to the manifest inju-
~ of journalism in this State, and prove an
encouragement to the baser elements in poll
tics when all honest men are striving earnest
" TO defeat and expose these enemies of the
general welfare.
