HOW I FELL IN LOVE.
I fell in love when I was passing a sum
mer at Saratoga. She. the w oman I ador
ed, I mean, was fair enough to plead my
excuse for the truth. She had soft fair
hair which she wore in the most glossy of
braids, wound round a small, exquis
itely shaped head; she had large black
eyes, making a most bewitching contrast
to the light hair, and a clear pale com
plexion, white as snow; black eyebrows
and lashes completed the piquant contrast.
—She was neither tall nor petite—-just
about the size that is the most tempting
for the caresses of a tall man—just tall
enough for the head to lny confidingly
against my shirt front, and the lips to he
within kissable distance hv a light bend
of my head.'
“Mr. Graham, allow me to introduce
you to my cousin, who joined our party
this morning.”
“Thank you for the offer.” And I
bent my arm to accommodate the tiny
hand of a saucy little brunette, with whom
I had been carrying on a desperate flirta
tion for three weeks.
“What is her name Miss Stanly?” I in
quired.
“Elizabeth Stanley; hut as she is fair
and slender, we call her Lilly.”
Lilly Stanley! it was a name to fall in
love with. 1 only took one look, and my
heart was gone. I distinctly felt the void
it left, when it sprang from under my vest
into Miss Stanley’s possession. 1 don’t
know what she wore, hut her fair face
and slender throat rose above clouds of
soft white lace. There were pearls here
and there; and, altogether, if I had fallen
at her feet, I should have only acted
out my sensations. It broke in upon this
rapturous dream to hear my first flame,
Miss Stanley, say,
“The Redowa. I am engaged to Capt
Hawley, and here he comes.”
L)id I ask her to dance? I am sure I
don’t know. I recollect only that, five
minutes later we were gliding lazily
through a slow, dreamy Iledowa, and.I
held a tiny white-gloved hand in mine, and
found my idol was not the spiritual form
she looked, by clasping my arm round a
substantial waist—a slender, graceful
waste—still made of flesh and blood,
likewise silk, whalebone and lace.
I wished to have gone home next day;
but I could not do it. Leave Saratoga!
Leave the paradise that contained my
angel! 1 could not endure the idea. My
partner wrote the most appalling letter,
threatening bankruptcy, ruiu, all sorts of
horrors, if 1 did uot appear immediately
in the counting-room; hut I wrote savage
ly back that ruin was Heaven compared
to absence from , and there I stopped,
because the carriage waited for me to
take my angel to ride.
Dick pondered over the blank, but con
sidered I must be engaged in some specu
lation and wrote warning letters accor
dingly.
Fink silk and roses, blue silk and for
get-mc-nots, lillies of the valley in a white
bonnet, and other attractions too numer
ous to mention, succeeded the white lace;
and hs my senses came slowly back to me,
and I had eyes for details, I was charmed
with the neatness of every dress, from
the glossy braids to the tiny slipper. The
silks were deliciously fresh; the lace al
ways snowy-white; the skirts and stock
ings, sometimes displayed by the raising
of a dress, were always so pure, so fine,
and smooth, that every day found me
more deeply in love.
Parting time came at last. Miss Stan
ley went to visit her aunt in Boston—I
found out that we both lived in Philadel
phia—aud I returned to the counting-house
and my disconsolate partner.
A month of seperation fanned the flame
the month of intercourse had lighted
in my heart. The face was in all my
dreams—now with drooping lillies falling
from the soft braids, now set in the fine
lace of the most bewitching blue bonnet,
now wreathed with pnle pink rose buds,
now under the shadows of the drooping
white plumes of her riding-hat.
Walking down Walnut street one love
ly September morning, I saw a lady step
into tiie cars. One glance at the neatly-
gloved hand sent the blood to my heart;
the little gaiter made it give a sudden
hound, and a fair face made it palpitate
till I nearly choked.
She was at home. I should hear again
the soft, low voice, whose every modula
tion told of her angelic temper. I should
see the sweet smile that always greeted
me, and again be in Elysium. Ah, me!
I could not call until the following morn
ing, then I left Dick groaning over neglec
ted Western customers, and went home,
donned my white suit of linen, with a nar
row, black necktie, smoothed my finest shirt
over my broad chest, drew on my most in
tense pair of pale huff-kids, set a becoming
straw hat over nicely arranged curls, and
sallied forth
I ran lightly up the steps of 161?
street and rang the bell, gave my card to
tlie girl who opened the door, and went
into the parlor. It was in a semi-dark state,
fashionable in the warm months, and com
ing in from the glaring sunlight—I could
see nothing—I groped my way to a scat.
“1 say I won’t.”
A shrill, harsh voice in the next room
gave forth this sentence with an angry
vehemence that started me.
A low, sweet voice answered:
“Lilly, my dear.
“Your dear! I don’t want to be coaxed,”
answered the first voice. “I will go, and
there’s the end of it.”
“But you have been away all summer,
and Jennie has not left home at all.”
“Jennie! What does a great ugly, red
faced thing like her want at a watering
place ?”
“She is your sister.”
“Well, let her wait till I’am married,
and then she can rule here. I have set
my heart on going to aunt Nell’s and I’am
going.”
The folding doors were thrown violent
ly back, and I saw into the next room.
Upon the sofa lay a pale, delicate-look
ing lady, evidently an ’ “
invalid. Near
her stood a tall, rather ugly girl, with a
high color, probably “Jennie;” but the
most prominent figure stood in the open
ing she had made by throwing back the
doors. A faded calico wrapper torn un
der both arms, fell in uneven folds to
the floor, a rent here and there making
an ungraceful festoon; the pretty feet were
thrust ftito old slippers, and the stockings
were—were—well, the word will out—
they were dirty stockings on a lady?
Faugh? The light hair 1 had so much
admired was gone, except a little knot
at the back of her head, which was tum
bled, and had a dead, dry look; the glossy
braids probably reposed upon her dressing
glass. She did not see me as I sat in a
dark corner; and, crossing the room, she
hit her foot on a stool.
“Confound the thing!” was her lady
like exclamation, and a vicious kick sent
the stool spinning across the floor.
I rose. “Good morning Miss Stan
ley.”
A scream, a dash for the door, dark
ness came again over the parlor, and I was
alone.
I fell out of love as rapidly as I had
fallen into it, and took my white suit and
and blasted hopes out of the front door.
Dick is delighted, vows 1 am as thor
ough a busines man as himself, and I have
almost resolved to retain him as my only
partner through life.

The “Little Villain,” of the New York
Times has recently relieved his guilt op
pressed soul, by giving utterance to the
following:
The peculiarities of the people of the
United States were never more strikingly
illustrated than in the progress of the pres
ent war. We are always on the highest
pinnacle of hope or in the lowest depths
of despair. For the first three months of
our campaigning, nothing could exceed
the confidence not to say arrogance of
the supporters of the Union. We had
confidence not only in our strength, but
an equal degree of confidence in the rebels
weakness. The loyal North was brave,
enthusiastic, irresistible. The disloyal
South was fearful, lukewarm, and demor
alized. The latter had only to be met
promptly in the field and they would
dissolve as a rebel mob—for were they
not without money, and without food/
The early victories in Western Virginia
and in Misssouri, where we had sharp
and decisive leaders, seemed to sustain
the complacent theory of the sanguine
Unionists. We rose of mornings only to
read of further victories, and to wonder
whether, after all Jeff. Davis would ven
ture to come with his rebel Congress to so
unsafe a place as Richmond. And when
we found that a step indicating so much
hardihood had been taken, we had per
haps a mingled feeling of surprise and
pleasure, so sure were we of their cap
ture.
We rode a high horse in those days,
and compelled the rebels, in imagination,
to go on foot. Our habitual thought of
them Avas, that in due time they should
all he hanged. And so avc continued,
down to that fine day, all so confiident,
“On to Richmond,” and fetched up so
uneasily at Bull Run.
Since that ill-fated day, the A’ery heav
ens arc vexed with our unmanly lamen
tations. Noav, all of a sudden, we go to
work to unsay all of our proud boastings,
and to pull down the air castle, we have
so assidiouslv been building. And there
is as little reason in the present shocking
abasement of ourselves as there Avas in the
former exultation and self-glory. The
rebels were always strong always deter
mined and desperate.
That Ave might haA-e known. They
had as good generals as the United States
have produced. That Ave might have
known, for they got them from us. The
whole population and moneyed power of
the South Avould be wielded aganist us.
That was Aveli known, for the last stand
of loyalty Avas made when the question
of secession Avas an open one to the peo
ple of each rebel State. Here, then, Avere
elements for a hard fight; and we should
haA'e made up our minds to it, and let alone
our extravagant conceits of our own A'ast
power and the rebels immeasurable Aveak-
ness. But Ave did not, and were for our
temerity unhorsed at Bull Run.
Confederate Treasury 2Vote»*
We regret to learn that parties have al
ready engaged in counterfeiting the notes
of the Confederate Government issue.—
The Bank of the City of Petersburg de
tected, on Thursday last, a counterfeit of
the denomination of fh*e dollars. The
Express says of the spurious note :
“In the counterfeit bill, the folloA\-ing
stipulations are out of the body of the
note, but are abo\m and beloAv on the bor
der: “Receivable in payment of all dues
except export duties,’ and “Fundable
Confederate States Stocks, hearing eight
per cent, interest.” The counterfeit has
no vignette. Avhile the genuine bill has a
centre vignette, comprised of a female
with a pole and liberty cap, and eagle on
the lelt of the female, and on the left end
of the bill the figure of a sailor. The
numbering and filling up in the counterfeit
are very indifferent. The notes should be
Avell scanned before received, as doubtless
the whole of the denominations issued by
the Confederate Government have been
counterfeited, and are now in circulation.
The counterfeits are signed “S. Sumerson,
Register,” the “for” being omitted, “A.
L. Rcssoff, Treasurer,” the “for” also
omitted here. They purport to have been
lithographed by J. Manouvier, New Or
leans. The genuine Avere lithographed by
Hoyer & Ludwig, Richmond.
The Avork of the lithographer in the
counterfeit bill is decidedly better than
that of the genuine, and it is well calcula
ted to circulate freely outside of banking
institutions. We are anxious to caution
the public in regard to the reception of
this issue, as, under the present condition
of things, this circulation must, to a great
extent, supersede the regular bank circu
lation throughout the Confederate States.

Atlanta, September!, 1S61.
To the People of Georgia:
We now have in the service of the Con
federate States twenty-five Regiments and
three Battalions, who have gone tinder
State authority, and six or seven Inde
pendent or Confederate Regiments, who
have gone under direct tender to, and or
ders from, the Secretary of War, making
together about 30.000 gallant Georgia
troops. Ch'er 20,000 of this number are
now in Virginia.
They are our fellow-citizens, our neigh
bors, our friends, our relati\-es. They are
enduring all the hardships and toils of a
soldier’s life, in defence of our wh es, our
children and our common country. Win
ter will soon be upon us ; and it will be
impossible for them to get, especially in
Virginia, with the money allowed them for
that purpose, by the Confederate Govern
ment, such supplies of clothing, shoes, and
blankets as are absolutely necessary, in
that severe climate, to their health and
comfort. Shall we permit them to suffer
for the necessaries of life, while avc have
plenty at home? Never! To pre\ r ent
this, I propose, at public expense, to pur
chase for them, such supplies as can be
had in Georgia, of such articles as are most
essential.
Some of our manufacturers are making
a good at tide of plain woolen cloth; oth
ers arc making leather and shoes, while
our ladies, who have acted so noble a part,
are, in different parts of the State, making
quantities of woolen jeans cloth. The sol-
dieis need all Ave can spare. I wish to
purchase for them 30,000 pair of good,
plain, serviceable shoes; and woolen doth,
including country jeans ; enough to nmke
30,000 suits of clothing : together with all
the good blankets that can he found in the
market.
I therefore invite all manufacturers of
shoes, or woolen doth, avIio can assist in
supplying the demand, aud all persons
having good blankets for sale, to inform
me of the Supply which each can furnish,
and the price at which each article can be
afforded. I also request the Clerk of the
Superior Court in each county to act as
agent, for the purchase of Avoolen jeans
from the ladies, and to inform me at an
early day of the price of that article in his
county. It is hoped that the ladies will
use every reasonable exertion to make a
supply of this A-ery desirable and useful
article, and will furnish, delivered at the
offices of the Clerks of the Superior
Courts, at reasonable prices, all they can
spare. Prompt action is respectfully so
licited.
The supplies ahoA r e mentioned are in
tended alike for all Georgians in the ser-
A'ice, Avherever they may be, embracing as
well those who belong to Independent or
Confederate Regiments, as those who be
long to regularly organized State Regi
ments. Assistance to be afforded first to
those found to he most needy. Copies of
this address will be forwarded to the Sec
retary of War Avith request that he send
them to the Colonels commanding regi
ments from Georgia, who are respectfully
requested to report to me at the earliest
day possible, such necessities of those un
der their respective commands as can
not he supplied with the means at their
disposal.
1 am informed that large numbers of
soldiers, from this State, are norv sick in
Virginia, far away from their homes and
frieuds. They must have prompt atten
tion. A patriotic and humane association
of Georgians at Richmond have taken
steps to establish a Hospital there, for our
sick and wounded. They haA-e informed
me of the facts, and appealed to me for as
sistance, and I have promptly ordered the
funds which are necessary to establish the
Hospital to be placed at their disposal.
They avi 11 need supplies of sheets, blank
ets, coverlets, and such other articles as
may be necessary to alleviate the suffer
ings, and add to the comfort of the sick
and wounded. I appeal to the ladies of
Georgia to take from their OAvn household
supply, and send enough, at once, to re
lieve the sick and wounded. Let the do
nations from each locality, be boxed and
and sent, witli the names of the donors,
and the use for which they are contrib
uted, to Quarter Master General Ira R.
Foster, at Atlanta, who avi 11 forward them
to Virginia at public expense, together
with any contributions which maybe made
to the soldiers by their friends.
Citizens of Georgia, our cause is the
cause of religion and humanity. The
struggle in which Ave are engaged, is the
struggle of a great and free people, to
maintain their heritage of Liberty and In
dependence, transmitted to us by our Rev
olutionary fathers of 1776. The effort of
the Lincoln Government is an effort to
subjugate us to tyranny .and oppression.
The cause of the Confederate States is
the cause of every patriotic citizen of the
South. We believe God is with us, and
presides in our councils. Let us try to
live near to Him and implore His contin
ued favor. We have at the helm of
State, the distinguished Statesman and in-
A'incible warrior, Jefferson Davis. By his
side Ave have Georgia’s OAvn great States
man, Alexander II. Stephens. They are
worthy of our fullest confidence. Let us
all with one heart and mind, by universal
acclamation, continue them in the proud
position they now occupy. Their suc
cess is our success, tlieir defeat would be
our defeat ! At the call of the President,
our troops have rallied to their country’s
standard, and are ready to shed their blood
if need be, in their country’s cause. They
now call upon us for necessary supplies.
The sick and Avounded appeal to us for as
sistance. Shall the appeal he made in
vain ? I know it will not.
I am very respectfullv,
JOSEPH E" BROWN.

The prospect is that the Conventiouists,
by postponing their day of meeting one
month, and industriously stirring up their
friends in the several counties, will be able
t<> get up a Convention on Wednesday.
The appointment of delegates to it was a
very easy matter in counties in which
they only invited to their meetings those
favorable to the Convention. But in oth
er counties, in Avhich the question of send
ing delegates at all Avas left to the people,
they have been unable to send a delega
tion. We have already noticed one or
two instances of this kind ; and Ave now
see that in Wilkinson county, on the 3d
inst., at the meeting called to consider the
question, it was unanimously resolved not
to send delegates to either the proposed
State or Senatorial Convention ; and at a
meeting held in Crawford county on the
2d, during the term of the Superior Court,
the question “Shall we be represented in
the Convention?” was put and decided in
the negative by a large majority.

The following is the leading editorial
article in the Cincinnati Commercial oi
the 30th ;
For the first time the rebels are at a
loss as to where they are to be struck.—
The circulation of female spies and trait
orous Northern newspapers being greatly
circumscribed, and the disloyal clerks in
the various departments of the Govern
ment being closely watched, and the pub
lication of army moA-ements being so fat
restricted as to embarrass the inquiries
after truth, and the arrest of spies and oth
er agents of the conspirators in the North
render more circumspection in their move
ments available, our “Southern brethren”
are really beginning to be plagued to
ktioAv what we are about. More than all
this, the Adams’ Express has stopped car
rying letters to the South, and telegraphic
dispatches are not to be forwarded from
Louisville any more, while increased vig
ilance is to be exercised all along the
Ohio, to prevent smuggling and stop the
movements of the conspirators. This will
really embarrass our “Southern brethren.”
They will not knoAv where to look for the
blow. The next they know, a mighty
fleet, with ten thousand men aboard, will
open one of their cotton ports and let a
streak of daylight into the benighted re
gions of the original Secessia. YelloAv
Jack is not guarding their coast this year.
The NeAv England skippers knoAv the
Southern coast far better than the South
erners themselves knoAv it. “Things is
Avorkin’.” The reverses which the people
of the North have met have not chauged
the order of things, or reversed the march
of empire.
This is folloAved up by another editorial
paragraph as folloAvs :
There is reason to belieA-e that the pro
found repose which the Southern coast,
and the nests of the conspirators in the
cotton States, have been permitted to en
joy, Avill hereafter he seriously disturbed.
Gen. Butler’s expedition is not the only
one that Avill be launched. There is noth
ing to prevent the embarkation of ten
thousand men at Baltimore any day, to
strike a LIoav somewhere on the Southern
coast. It Avould not surprise us to learn
that Gen. McClellan, having securely
fortified Washington, had made a “for
ward movement” by way of Charleston,
Savannah, or NeAv Orleans.

The Richmond Examiner says feAV men
have lived more beloved or died more la
mented than the late Colonel Bartow.—
Every man in his regiment seemed to re
gard him as a personal friend, and his at
tentions to the comforts of his men, both
privates and officers, gave him a strong
hold upon their regard and gratitude.—
We Avere reminded of this, a feAV days
since, upon seeing in the yard of John W.
Davis, of this, a neatly executed column,
about six feet high, and a foot in diameter,
which has since been erected as a ceuotapli
on the field of Manassas, on the spot
a\ here the hero fell. It bears simply his
name and dying Avords :
“FRANCES S. BARTOW.”
“They have killed me, boys,
But never give up the fight.”
We were not surprised to learn, upon
enquiry, that it was executed and erected
at the expense of the Eighth Regiment oi
Georgia Volunteers.—Republican.
ApprclimvionN in Philadelphia*
The Philadelphia Ledger says :
While avc may entertain unbounded con
fidence in the gallant men and their gifted
Generals who guard the line of the Poto
mac, Ave must bear in mind that whatever
disasters avc have experienced thus far
have arisen from over-confidence, and that
there is a possibility of further disasters,
against the results of which it is simple
prudence to guard ourselves. In the
present temper of Baltimore and Mary
land, it is quite probable that a serious re
verse to our arms on the Potomac Avould
transfer the seat of war to this side of Bal
timore. The rebels have shown us their
expectations and intentions by extending
their military system, by act of the Rich
mond Congress, over not only Maryland,
but over Delaware—and Delaware’s
Northern boundary is but a few miles be
low Chester. In this vieAV' of the matter,
Philadelphia becomes a frontier city, and
is to be strenglitened as such. Yet, what
has been done to meet a contingency
which the chances of war may at any mo
ment bring upon us ? Our Home Guard
and RoserA'c Brigade are but a nucleus ol
partially trained soldiers, and though our
teeming population would be ready to pour
forth manfully, they would a\ 7 ail but little
in the open field. It is only behind de
fences that our numbers could be made
available, and those defences should be
provided.
This article, on account of its scarcity
and high price, at this time, commands
public attention. The following ou the
subject may, therefore, be of interest to
those engaged in its manufacture :
The Process of Making Good Butter.—
The first great essential in butter making
is cleanliness. The milk-house, spring
house, vault, or Avhatever the place in
which milk is kept, should be clean and
sweet in every particular. The Avails
should he Avhitewashed at least every
three or four Aveeks, and the arrangements
for ventilation should be such as will
give, whenever desired, full ingress to
fresh air. Pure, sweet air, is absolutely
necessary to the making of pure, sweet
butter. The milk-vessels must also be
kept perfectly clean. This can be done
only by regular and frequent washin
scalding and scouring.
Skimming of the cream, is the next point
of importance. It should be done with
great care. The purer the cream, the bet
ter the butter will be and the easier the
churning. The cream should be churned
at the furthest, at thirty-six hours from
the .time it Avas drawn from the cow. If
left a longer time, the cream assumes a
strong taste, which spoils the flavor of the
butter. Besides that it is more difficult to
churn.
The temperature of the cream is also
very important, and should receive the
dairy woman’s close attention, if she wish
es to save herself a large outlay of time
and labor. From 55 to 60 deg. is about
the proper temperature. If below this,
the butter particles do not separate readi
ly, and if above it, the color, flavor and
consistency of the butter are all injured
When the butter begins to form, a little
cold water should be poured into the
churn, and the dashers moved slowly
back and forth, in order to prevent the
butter from closing too rapidly, while at
the same time it gives every particle of
cream a chance to furnish its quota of bat
ter.
Where, in the winter-season, bat few
cows are kept, and it is not convenient to
have the milk-room slightly wanned as is
usually done in large dairies, it is advisa
ble to place the cream by the stove, keep
ing it well stirred, so that the tempera
ture may be at the same throughout the
entire quantity. A thermometer should
be regarded as an indispensable appendage
to every dairy. Where a thermometer is
not convenient, the proper temperature of
the cream may be pretty closely deter
mined by testing it with the finger.—
It should feel not quite so warm as new
milk.
Upon the proper working of butter de
pends much of its superiority. Machines
for the purpose have been inA-ented ; but
where the quantity to be worked is not
large, the butter-spoon or ladle Avill an
swer every purpose. So long as adrop of
milk, however minute, oozes from the mass
when cut dotvn with the spoon, so long
should the working be continued.
There is no fixed rule for salting butter,
some preferring more, and some less salt.
An ounce of salt to the pound is the quan-
tity generally used. After the salt has
been worked in, the butter should be al-
loAved to stand twenty-four hours, and then
be worked over. By the second working,
not only rendered more solid and compact,
but the salt is more thoroughly incorpora
ted, the streaks are avoided, and the but
ter will keep sweet a longer time.

‘1 write to chronicle a fact that I sup
pose no one would-have ever believed like
ly to occur again in South Carolina. On
Tuesday morning, the 13th tilt., by the
datvn of day, Henry, a servant of Mr. Jesso
M. Mixson, (avIio is uoav in the service at
at Braddock’s Point) and Toney, a lad of
10 or 12 years old, started out a “coon
hunting,” and in going to the field they
passed a small pond about 150 yards from
the negro quarters. Their dog, Buck,
passed through the pond, Avhen they saw
some huge animal run out, and their faith
ful dog in full cry pursuing. They sup
posed it a deer, but in a fe vr minutes they
heard Buck** “baying” at the top of Iris
voice very faithfully. They aproaelied
the tree, and saw on a pine distinctly a
huge animal, growling and wagging its tail.
Henry sent home immediately for the gun,
nad when it came made a capital shot, aim
ing at the head, and bringing the tiger to the
ground. Mrs. Mixson sent round and sum
moned the neighbors to come and see the
animal. 1 availed myself of the opportu
nity, with others, and found it to he 6 feet
and 10 inches long ; 2 feet 5 inches high;
15 inches deep across the breast; 7 inches
wide across the face, just above the eyes;
and 12 inches around the fore leg, above
the first joint. The head and legs of this
monster seemed to be much larger in propor
tion than the body.”—Charleston Mercury.
Bleaching Powders.
The following letter calls the attention
ofcapitalists to an important subject—the
manufacture of bleaching poAvders. Wo
join with our correspondent in the hope
that some of our enterprising men av ill take
hold of the business, and put in operation
without delay. We append the letter
here :
Dahlonega, Ga., Sept. 3,*1861.
Hear Sir: As much uneasiness is being
felt by many of our paper-makers andedi-
tors, about the supply of chloride of lime,
I will direct your attention to two locali
ties of the black oxide of manganese, from
which it is made. One isowned by Win.
Dorn, of South Carolina, forty miles above
Augusta, and 7 miles from the Savannah
rh’er, of good quality and exhaustible
quantity; the other near Cartersville, Ga.
The manufacture of bleaching powder is
a monopoly by Mr. Tennant, ot Glasgow.
Scotland, who supplies America at from
$45 to $50 per ton, and gets his manganese
from Germany at $27 per ton, (average
price ) He has used the article from Mr.
Dorn’s mine, and finds it of superior quali
ty. The best of corbonate of lime may be
obtained in Carolina and Georgia for its
manufacture. The process is simple,
though expensive, in consequence of the
cost of the retorts, which arc made of
platina, in Tennant’s factory, and cost $9,-
000 each. The chlorine gas is passed
through tubes from the retorts into a
chamber, the floor of which is covered
with lime, which, being ranked frequently,
absorbs the chlorine and makes the com
mon bleaching powder.
I hope some of our enterprising men
will at once commence the manufacture of
it, and render ourselves independent of
the North or Europe.
Respectfully, M. F. STEPHENSON.
