The first of these re quires month or years ; the last only *a few weeks ; the first produces thick leather, the last thin. In tawing the skin is soaked and scraped to get rid of the hair ami putreseible parls, then treated with alum ami salt, tlieu stretched and scraped to make it flexible, and in some cases satura ted with animal fat or grease. It is only by custom and convenience that we are confined to leather ’in the making of our shoes. Any substance which will exclude the water, and will en dure the rubs and thumps given bv the foot will do for shoes, A iiatter can make an excellent shoe out of felt, and by the same process which he uses in making hats ; using ,e other mold, and a water proot mixture in the sole to keep out the wet. A farmer may make, very pleasant shoes out of an old wool bat by providing a suita ble sole; and lie may provide a suitable sole by com binding several thicknesses of felt with a little wax and rosin, or wax or India rubber or tallow, inserted between the leaves to keep out misture. Osnaburgs boiled in linseed oil and wax, and then blackened will do very well for the uppers, only it will require a lining of osnaburgs again to make it sufficiently strong, a:.d to keep the blackened side from defiling the foot. !<njpr IVorn ihc iVortli.

He was a member of the Baldwin Blues, and had been in set vice more than a year, w hen he was so enfeebled by disease as to be compelled to ask for a dis charge, which he obtained. His fellow soldiers say that lie was a true soidier, ever at his post, and ever willing to do his duty, so long as he was physically able to discharge it. He was a soldier ol three wars. He served in the Mexican war, and saw niueli hard service, though engaged in no buttle He was with General Walker in his Nicarauguau Revolution, and while there, no doubt from hardship and exposure, prepared his constitution tor the inroads of that subtle disease which terminated his life. He was a printer by profession, and one of the thousands of that class who leave the rose to shoulder a musket, when ever the country calls. Like all other men ha had some faults; but withal he was an honest and peaceable man. “After life’s* fitful fever he sleeps well.” Died, in this city,on the 4th inst., in the 83d year of her age, Mrs. Mary E Blount, relict of the late Col.

Wheu the impressments made by General Mercer some weeks since were loudly complained of : it was generally s? id, -bat while the Planter, objected to the principle of impressment, they would promptly furnish all the labor needed, if an appeal were made to them I am informed that General Mercer, now has ample authority to make impiesamtct.s. If the* a sufficient supply of labor is not tendered witbin ten days from this date, he will resort immediate ly to that means of proem ing it, with my full sanc tion, and I doubt not with the sanction of the General Assembly. After you have been repeatedly notified of the absolute necessity lor more labor to complete the fortifications adjudged by tbe Military authorities in command, to be indispensable to the defence of the key of the 8tate, will you delay action till you are compelled to contribute means for the protec tion, not only of all yenr slaves, but ofyour homes, your firesides and your altars? I will not believe that theie was a waDt of sin cerity in your professions of liberality and patriot ism wher. many of you threatened resistance to impressment upou principle; and not because you were unwilling to aid the cause with your means. I renew the cal! for negroes to complete the fortifi cations around Savannah, and trust eveiy planter m Georgia will respond by a prompt tender of one- fifth ot all his working men. As stated iu my for mer apptal, the General in command will only ac cept the number actually needed. JOSEPH E. BROWN.
