Look Out for the h Mark.
When you 6ee the M mark on your
paper, you may then know your sub-
scription is about to expire, and if you
want it continued, you must send more
money.
Despondency Among the Yan
kees.—“The New York Times, in
an article headed, ‘ New Energy De
manned,’ thus refers to a ‘ false secu
rity, that threatens the loyal cause.’
It says:
Gen. Sherman’s recent successes,
and the peace conference, which so
soon followed, have produced a gene
ral impression that, at worst, but lit
tle more fighting remains to be done.
No requisition for more troops, ever
yet issued, has been responded to so
dilatorily, as that now pending. Ev
erywhere, in city, and country, there
is a general flagging of effort, in every
operation for reinforcing our armies in
the field. Nobody cau deny the tact.
The New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Inquirer, also speaks
of the 4 bitter disappointment,’ with
which the news of the failure of the
4 peace movement’ was received in
New York. He says :
With but one or two exceptions,
I think, the New York press have
been encouraging the belief that peace
was near at hand; and so, when the
bubble collapsed, today, a feeling of
bitter disappointment was visible in
almost every face. Anxious faces
surrounded the newspaper bulletins ;
Wall street was on the rampage ;
4 confidence ’ went down, and gold
went up.
The steamers which sailed for Eu
rope, this afternoon, will take out the
news, and it will probably create as
much excitement in London, and
Paris as it does here. The secesh
correspondents of the London Times,
Herald, and Standard, no doubt, will
represent that Mr. Lincoln was try
ing to make peace, and iftt Jeft Da
vis, and ia this way a foreign senti
ment favorable to the rebels will be
created. The north, it will be said,
is sick of the war, and held out the
olive branch, but the rebels rejected
it, confident of their ability to contin
ue the struggle to the bitter end—in
other words, till independence is
won.”
‘That’s very singular, sir,’ said a
young lady to a gentleman, who had
just kissed her. 4 Ob, well, my dear
miss, I will make it plural.’
A Timely Invention.—There is
now in successful operation, at the
Confederate States Laboratory, in
this city, a machine capable of turn
ing out three hundred and forty thou
sand percussion caps in eight hours,
filling, and pressing them. The fast.,
est machine in the United States, of
which we have any knowledge, is
Wright’s patent, which only turns
out thirty thousand in ten hours.
The champion confederate machine,
or machines—as there are two of
them—are capable of turning out an
amount of work by three bands, that
formerly required one hundred and
twenty-five operatives. The inven
tor is Captain Wesley N. Smith, com
manding the Laboratory, whose skill,
and perseverance, and ingenuity, first
called into existence, at the inception
of the war, the extensive Laboratory
works now operating in Richmond.
The graduated fuse cutter, now in
general use, is another of Captain
Smith’s inventions, and has demon
strated its entire efficiency, on numer
ous occasions. The inventor of this
labor-saving machine is still devoting
Lis experience, and knowledge, gain
ed by twenty-five years of study, to
the invention of machinery calculat
ed to substitute able-bodied labor,
now so sorely needed in the active
operations of the army.—Rich. Ex-
aminer.
Not Quite Ruined!—“The Al
bany, Ga., Patriot, of the 23d inst.,
speaking of Governor Brown, says :
We have just beard of some very
heavy speculations he has made in
this section of the state. A few
weeks ago, he purchased, of one per
son in this neighborhood, 300 bales of
cotton, in bis own name.”
Vice and virtue are bitter enemies.
