The Harper's Ferry Roller Mill.

Having a little time at our dis
posal whilst at Harpcr's Ferry the
other day, we strollcd up to the big
mill on the old Island of Yirginius.
This mill having been changed from
the Burr to that of the full Roller
system, the change required a large
force of mechanics all winter, involv-
ing a large outlay of money for labor,
material, and the machincry,-con-
sisting in part of "a sett Stevens i'm
proved rollers, 6 Smiths No. 1 pu-
%rifers, 3 Smith centrifugal reels, 1
double scalping chest, 1 aspirator, G
Princess dust collectors, 2 bran sep
arators, 3 boiling chests, containing
six reels each; 4 improved flour
packers, cleaners, s~cparators, smut
tiers, and much other machinery re-
CURED by the new system. This mill
is supposed to be complete in all its
appointments. From q personal in
spection, we believe it to be one of
the best constructed mills in this
country. 1t was designed by the
Noyes NJ. I. G. Co.. of Buffalo, the
contractors, to be equal TO any mill in
the United States of same. capacity
$50 to 400 barrels daily-inth the quail
ity of its productions and from the
tests SO far made, there is every
reason to believe the contractors and
owners will realize their expectations.
The Mill Company are improving their
other property, consisting of some
seventeen dwellings,, and from the
homes of the coopers and other evil
dence of business, our county may
feel a just pride in the new enter
prise. The former owners, Messrs.
McCrcight & Yantis, have sold this
property to the Harper's Ferry Mill
Company, organized under our State
laws. The officers of the company
are, Samuel Fletcher, of Philadelphia,
President; S. Y. Yantis, Secretary
and Treasurer; j. a. McCrcight,
Manager.

Hostile War Vessels inacom-

NEW YORK, April PA Russian.

lowing one another up the coast and
there is much talk among ship
ping men here as to what those yes
sells are about. on April 10th the
English sloop=of-war Garnet arrived.
at Havana from Vera Cruz and found.
the Russian corvette Stryfax there.
The two vessels left within two hours.
of each other four days later and
there was much excitementin Havana
as the announcement of war between
England and Russia was momentarily
expected and it was thought the two
vessels would fight after theyleft the
harbor. they were next heard from
at Norfolk, where they arrived last
Monday, and they are expected at
New York in a few days. It is said
the Garnet may be coming here to
act as convoy to the English mail
steamers. The two vessels are about
evenly matched in size and armament.

Postmaster General Villas, in reply
to a recent letter of Senator Morgan,
of Alabama, in regard to the advisa-
biIity of changes of postal officials,
says:
"It is, however, to be remembered
that a great many other considcra-
lions than the barrow views of indi.
viduals who are simply seeking a
change must be regarded. The ad-
ministration must act upon sound
policy. And 1 think it would occur
to the South above all sections of the
Union that nothing could be more
desirable to them than that this adj
ministration should meet with alp
proval in the North, because if the
administration is going to benefit the
South by securing them for the future
fair. appointments where they have
been abused. it viii! be OF little avail
unless it be in such manners as to
meet also the approva! of the whole
country. If the news from Michigan
be true, we are justified in the course
of action taken"

Manitoba, the scene of the Rel

resources, and if tue insurgents can
wrest the territory from the control
of the British and set up a govern
ment of their own, they will occupy

Texas in the south, eventually to be
absorbed in the Federal Union. Rel
