The saw is circular in form and works horizon

the block of timber which is brought in con
tact with the saw by a slide, and to give the
shingle a taper it is contrived so that the block
on either side.can be lowered,or raised. The
shingles aro turned out with incredible rapid

twenty thousand shingles in a day, and is con

To the Public.
My attention has been called to a communication
over the signature of Puo Boao Publico in the
Nineteenth Century, a paper published at Fort Val
ley, Ga., in which special attention is called to the
fact that my mannfactnring partner, who resides in
New Haven, Ct., belongs to the se called Black Re
publican party, and once subscribed twenty-five
dollars to supply the Kansas emigrants with “nfles.”
Now it is not my intention to say that he (Mr. Kit
lam) is right in his political views; indeed I think
them wrong, and ever since X could myself vote J
have opposed them at the ballot box, and vo
' ivutii
. voted with
undevuting uniformity the Democratic ticket,
whichjevery body knows bss been favorable to the
South and her instiutions,—but I must be. allowed
to remark that though he he a Black Republican
I have.the best reason forknowing that be is not an

Whatever may be thought of it here, there exists
a wide difference between the one and the other in

FROM BALTIMORE.
Correspondence ofthe Georgia Telegraph.
Baltimore,- March 10,1860.
The Legislature—The Agony over—The
BrorJc Bill passed—Apprehended Duel, Syc.
The House continued in labor from 7 o’clock
last night until 2 o’clock this morning, when it
brought forth thc Brock Bantling—and is now
doing as well as could be expected. Its second
birth presents it in a somewhat improved form.
It appears with a couple of amendments pro
viding for the opening of the Book—not the
one that was sent to tho penitentiary—but a
new one, for tho purpose of allowing the citi
zens of Baltimore to subscribe for ono million
dollars in its stock, and also providing for tho
certain and prompt payment of tho Park tax.
These arc decided improvements and will take
much of the odium from it Opposition will
now cease, and tho Sun will be consoled for its
defeat by the amount which it will have pocket
ed since it has opened its batteries against the
bill, and which has no doubt been contributed
by Brock himself for tho lengthy and numer
ous communications which have been publish
ed in that paper in its defence. They must
liavo netted the sum of at least $20 per day
from that source. The bill was. passed to_a
third reading which ta tantamount to its final
passage. . . * ■„ - .
It ta stated hfcte ttMlay that a challenge has
been sent and accepted from Mr. Coleman Yel-
lott, Senator from this, city, to CoL McKaig of
Alh-yany c-Mtmty. Tin- dilliuulty grew out of
the debato on the Stump resolutions. . Efforts
are making to prevent a hostile meeting which
it ta hoped may succeed.
. The Judge will be ousted* and "his place filled
by a better man.
No decision has yet Been given upon the Con
stitutionality of tha tuur Palira T.aw anrl fearc
are entertained that its validity may not be
sustained by Judge Martin. Should that fail
wc shall be in a pretty fix. Its passage through
the Legislature has already driven half of the
rowdies out of the city, and recovered thiings
to a comparative state of quietness. But let
the Law be pronounced unconstitutional, and
they will return, and redouble their energies
in their old vocation.

f l am myself a Northern man, hut, like many others
have become identified in both feeling and interest
with the section of my adoption. I have been eon-
nected for some years with the carriage business in
Macon and am in a position to know something about
it as well as about those who supply this market, and
am free to say to any one in want of a carriage that
has not been manufactured by, or paid tribute to, a
member of the Black Republican party of the North,
he must look elsewhere than in Macon for it. In-
deed there ore other Black Republicans than Mr.
Killam w ho own an interest in carriage establish
ments in Macon, audit would not be necessary to go
far to find one that is entirely owned by a member
of that party! Yet they suppl;

offers advantageous might have been accepted but
were not, nnd taking advantage of the feverish con
dition of tho public mind, threats of exposure con
nected with this very matter wvre held out to deter

^personal Liberty” in New YorK.
Black Republicanism has recently belched
in the New York Assembiy an eructation more
offensive than anything we liavo yet had from
THE STEAMSHIP Qr Garrison. It is a report on a new
“Personal Liberty Bill,” in which Ute major.ty
demand: “Shall the soil of Xewlork be long
er polluted by the track of- the Slave hunter.
“ Must we help to send the slave back tochams
and tortures,” and “blood hounds.” and “dis
mal swamps’.’with “no eye to pity him save
God’s? ” &C., and so on, in a general and mogt
offensive 'personal liberty” of Speech, unparal
leled by any legislative document wc ever heard
0t After asking these and many more ques
tions of the kind, tile, committee answer they
will do no such thing, and recommend thc pass
age of a' nullifying act reported, which they say
is according to a “ higher law than Constitu
tions ” and “may bd.regarded as the crowning
act of the efforts of New York at" redemption
from tlic blight and curse of Slavery.” As for
the allegation that the bill-in question will in
jure, disaffect and-alienate “our brethren of the
South,” [the conuuittee give these words the
sarcastic effect of quotation marks] they say:
' Of the teii millions of “our brethren of tbe South”
about four millions are slaves and.free persons of
color, who would hail with delight such a statute.
Ot tho remaining six millions, who are free whites,
Only about one fourth of a million aro slave holdecs;
or could have any interest in tho reclaiming of fngi-
live slaves; while thc five anil three-fourths millions
of noh-slavcholding whites could havo no desire for
their being sent back among them, to compete with
and degrade their free labor.
Thc report winds up with a'digest of the an-
■ ti-fugitivc slave law legislation of all thc North
ern States, of Which this law proposes to put
New York in the vanguard. In the way of
low-flung malignant fanaticism this document
beats anything we have ever read. The Herald
says its all Buncombe—a sop to the abolition
Cerberus of tbo rural districts and the Seward
leaders will not permit-the bil[ to pass. AA r ell
if they like that talk, it really makes very little
difference with us whether they pass the bill or
not? The animus ta the thing we look at A Ye
would rather they would strike than scowl and
spit at us. By all the gods of war, we hope to
see the day when just such Statutes as that will
be met by retaliatory acts on - the part of the
South which will be something more than Bun

Glad to Get Home.
A correspondent of the CincinnatiTimcs late-
ly alluded "to, a number of negro fugitives who
were voluntarily returning to their masters. A
second letter from the steamer on board which
they were, dated at'Napoleon, Arkansas, makes
this further mention of them :
The negroes returning into slavery, mention
ed in my last letter, disembarked at this point
So desirous were they to get on shore, that they
could hardly be restrained from jumping from
the boat before she had landed. Their eyes
sparkled, and they grinned from one car to the
other at the prospect of once more returning to.
their old homes. One of the women exclaim
ed—
‘‘Bress God! Fse home now, and no one ’ell
eber catch dis child gwinc away agin; I’s gwinc
to stay home, I is!” and she fairly danced again
in the exuberance of her/eelings. On the wharf
boat they were met by one whom I took to be
their owner, who received them .cordially, and
was evidently delighted to sec them. He ex
amined them critically, and I heard him say to
one— : : A - " * I
AYhy Jane'you don't look so hearty as yon
did, you ain’t sick, are you ?”
“No, Massa, I ain’t sick as I knows on, but
I’s mighty tired and worried, and dis child
wants to get home."
They were evidently well-known in Napoleon,
for many came up and shook hands with them
while they remained on the wharf boat. One
of the passengers informed me that yesterday
ho was standing by one of the colored women,
who was busily ironing. All at once she stop
ped, and throwing up her arms, exclaimed—
“Oh, golly, isn’t I glad I’s near home!
So much for thc returned slaves, who tasted
the “sweets of liberty,” but, incomprehensible
to rabid Abolitionists, preferred the bitters of
slavery.

A Slaveholder’s Insurance Compant.—
A bill has been introduced into the Maryland
Senate to incorporate tho Southern Slavehold
er’s Insurance Company of Maryland. It em
powers the company “ to insure any person or
persons, whether the same be residents of the
state of Maryland or any other State, District or
Territory of the United States, against any loss
sustained by his, her or their slaves running
away, absconding or escaping from his her or
their control, and such insurance shall be made
at such rates and under such regulations
an m«y Lo ihtcnuincd upon by the board of di
rectors of said company; and when a slave so
insured shall run away, abscond or escape from
tho control of his or her owner or owners, it
shall be the duty of said owner or owners, to
notify the company of such fact without delay,
and said company shall be entitled to return
said slave to tho custody of hta or her owner
or owners within a reasonable time after such
notification, or in default thereof shall pay to
the owner or owners the value of said slaves,
as fixed by the policy of insurance; unless,
meanwhile, by disease or injury, the value of
such slave shall have been decreased, and in
case of such disease or injury, the value of such
slave shall be ascertained by arbitrament and
appraisement
Connecticut.
The Connecticut State election comes off the
second of next month, and advices assure us that
Herculean exertions are put forth by the Black
Republicans, not only of that State, but of New
York and Massachusetts. Money is poured out
in the nutmeg State like water, and we may
probably look for a signal defeat there. Last
