A Maiden Lamenting* for Her Fawn*
FROM MiRTCLI’I FORK.
It is a wondrous th’ng, how fleet
’Twason those little silver feet;
With what a pretty skipping grace
It oft would challenge me the race,
And when ’t had left me far away,
’Twould stay, and run again, and star,
For it was nimbler much than hinds,
And trod as if on the four winds.
1 have a garden of my own,
But so with roses overgrown,
And lilies, that you would it guess
To be a little wilderness ;
And ail ihe spring-time of the year
It only loved to be there.
Among the beds of lilies I
Have sought it oft where it should lie,
Yet eould not, till itself would rise,
Find it, although before mine eyes.
For in the flaxen lilies’ shade,
It like a bank of lilies laid.
Upon the roses it would feed
Until its lips e’en seemed to bleed,
And then to me ’twould boldly trip,
And print those roses on my lip.
But all its chief delight was still
With roses thus itself to fill.
And its pure virgin limbs to fold
In whitest sheets of lilies cold.
Had it lived long it would have been
Lilies without, roses within.
[From the N. O. Delta.]
The following verses by Longfellow, (from the
M Opal for 184 S,”) bear the simple title of
“By the Seaside-”
The twilight is sad and cloudy,
The wind blow s wild and free,
And like the wings of sea-birds
Flash the white caps of the sea.
But in the fisherman’s cottage
There shines a ruddier light,
And a little face at the window
Peers out into the night.
Close, close it is pressed to the window.
As if those childish eyes
Were looking into the darkness.
To see some shape arise.
And a woman’s waving shadow
Is passing to and fro,
Now rising to the ceiling,
Now bowing and bending low.
What tale does the roaring ocean.
And the night-wind, bleak and wild.
As it beats at the crazy casement.
Tell to the little child ?
And why do the roaring ocean,
And the night-wind, wild and bleak.
As they beat at the heart oi the mother,
Drive the color from her check 7
The Play Things*
CHILD.
Oh, mother, here’s the very top
That brother used to spin;
The rase with seeds I’ve seen him drop
To call our robin in ;
v The line that held his pretty kite.
His bow, bis cup and ball,
The slate on which he learned to write.
The feather, cap, and all.
MOTHER,
My dear, I’d put the things away,
Just where they were before ;
Go, Anna, take him out to play,
And shut the closet door,
ft!weet innocent! he litt e thinks,
The slightest thought expressed
Os him that’s gone, how deep it sinks
Within a mothci’s breast.
[Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.}
Brooklyn Navy Yard, Feb. 23.
There is much that is calculated to make an
American love his country, —to make him feel
that his interests are identified with his coun
try’s interests, when strolling through a place
like this. For what mean these 2,000 black,
grim-visaged dogs of war, and some 60,000
death-missiles, which he sees strewed in heaps
around him, but to repel any who would raise
a hostile arm against his liberties! He finds
himself involuntarily sympathising with their
their object, and feels that he is already, in
spirit, enlisted for her defence.
The work on the U. S. Dry Dock seems to
be progressing very slowly, few men being at
present employed. This work was commenced
in 1812, and will probably be completed in
1860, although at an immense cost. To look
down from an eminence into this vast excava
tion, covered with a confused network of poles,
ropes, cranes and dericks, the effect is almost
grand. Five thousand piles, 30 feet long, are
driven deep into the earth, over its entire bot
tom. Upon these is erected a solid platform of
planking and timbers to the depth of ten feet,
which forms the foundation of the massive
•tone superstructure, which will be carried up
36 feet, by a series of steps, forming an im
mense chamber, 'whose extreme dimensions
will be 86 by 300 feet.
Next to the Dock, the famous wrought iron
English cannon.is the most conspicuous. This,
it will be remembered, was made to replace
the “Peace Maker," which exploded with such
fearful effects on the steamer Princeton. Its
■weight is fifteen tons, and has a 12 inch bore.
At the time of the siege of San Juan d’Ulloa,
much was said about taking it there, to assist
in the reduction of that fortress; but Com
modore Perry objected, and it has since re
mained idle, as it probably always will. We
have a number of cannon in the Gulf which
are much larger, of cast iron, in which our
gunners have much more confidence, from the
liability of the fonnar to flaws; and besides, it
rather touches their sense of honor, to take a
foreign gun into service. This English gun,
however, is of exquisite workmanship, and is
very fine to look at.
The work on the new war steamer is but
•lowly progressing, ten men only being engag
ed on it. The suspension is caused by the
absence of the machinery, now making by a
Philadelphia company.
The old frigate Sabine is solitary and alone.
She is a fine ship, and, no doubt, would prove
herself a good sailer, as she is made after the
same model with the Savannah, which vessel
is rather distinguished for her sailing qualities.
The keel and lower timbers are partially de
cayed, but can. be easily replaced, and she fit
ted for sea and launched in 60 days after re
ceiving, orders.
The ship Isaac Walton has been chartered
tty the government, and is now taking in stores
fer the XT. S. troops in California. She will
probably sail sometime next week, to discharge
At Monterey.
The Macedonian, which, last summer bore
tha charities of America to famishing Ire
land, and whose appearance off the Cove of
MMSHsaai
f Cork occasioned such joy to thousands, is now
[ an unsightly hulk, dismantled and deserted.
The U* S. brig Dolphin, which returned to
this port from a cruise off the coast of Africa,
last summer, is now preparing to go out again,
—probably to the West Indies,—her officers
having just been ordered to her She is a
poor sailor.
The Savannah and Vincennes, steamers
Legate, Polk and Fulton, the brig Washing
ton and the sloop of war Saratoga (arrived the
20th) are the remaining vessels in port. All
but the last are laid up. W. 11. H.

Vbka Cruz, Feb. 18, ISIS.
Peace continues to be the principal subject
of discussion here, and an important cne it is
to those who have located themselves and
made extensive preparations for a long so
journ in Vera Cruz. A large majority of the
intelligent portion of the community, and
those most familiar with Mexican affairs, do
not appear to regard the prospects of peace in
any brighter light than they did before the
treaty was signed, and argue generally in
opinion that neither Mr. Trist nor the Mexi
can commissioners were properly authorized
by their respective Governments to negotiate,
but admitting that they were, if the basis of
the treaty be such as it is represented to be,
the U. S. Government cannot, with honor to
itself, after having carried the war so far, and
in a manner subjugated the whole country,
accept of peace on such conditions as set forth
in that precious document.
On the other hand, you may well judge of
the future by the past, that the national obsti
nacy of the Mexican people to hear any pro
positions of peace from the United States still
continues to reign supreme, and particularly
as these commissioners on their part have no
doubt acted without authority. It is true that
at several meetings of the Deputies at Quere
taro, consisting of Irom eighteen to twenty
five members, a large majority of them were
in favor of peace, but this is only about one
fourth of the number sufficient to form a quo
rum, aad although every effort has been made
for the last six months to bring them togeth
er, they are not much nearer to it now than
they ever have been since Queretaro was made
the seat of Government. Again, admitting
that peace will be made, it is the universal
opinion that, in the present state of things,
the Mexican people would be fighting amongst
themselves in less than three months after
the Americans should withdraw to the limits
which may be agreed upon ; and if the peace
party be not strong enough to thrash those
opposed to it, which is quite unlikely—as
those generally opposed to it are the soldiery
ol the country—we would be just where we
were before the war was carried into their old
capital. To obtain and secure a permanent
peace with Mexico, a strong party must first
be raised to support it, and it must be raised
independent of American influence and suc
cor. Its leaders must be entirely disconnect
ed with previous efforts to accomplish that
end, and must come forth with their own free
will and accord for that purpose.
Amongst the late arrivals here is our friend
Jewell, late editor of the Vera Cruz Eagle. I
learn that he is making tracts for the city of
Mexico, to establish a paper there.
Preparations are going on to celebrate
the glorious 2‘id of February in a becoming
manner, and all the public offices are to be
closed on that slay.
I cannot let the opportunity pass -without
bringing to the notice the several deparraents
of Vera Cruz, particularly as they have un
dergone a change, and the public are interested
to know something about the management of
affairs at this, the most iniportart post in Mexi
co* Os Gen Twiggs it is scarcely necessary to
say that he is the same as of former days, and
his energy only appears to increase with his
years. He has an eye to every thing around
him, and, if necessary a hand in it. Capt.
Master, chief of tho quartermaster’s depart
ment of Vera Cruz, has by his energy, industry,
good management, and obliging and gentle
manly deportment, won the esteem of ail who
have the pleasure of his acquaintance or have
transacted business with the department. The
same may be said of Capts. Jordan and Clen
denen, assistant quartermasters, Capt.
commissary and Capt. Williamson, in charge
of the ordnance department. Capt. Lawton,
the harbormaster, who has also charge of the
Government vessels in port, is one of the most
efficient officers in the employ of the Govern
ment. Indeed, the whole department of the
city could not lie changed for the better.
It is much to be regretted that there is a
probability of Gen. Twiggs leaving us soon,
but the likelihood of Col. Wilson again being
placed in command when the general leaves is
hailed with much pleasure by all.
Capt. Winder, our excellent Lieutenant
Governor and Judge, transacts his business to
the admiration of all; and although he has no
cone of laws to govern his decisions, the code
of j ustiee serves a better purpose, and he sees it
well administered.
I have nothing in the shape of local news to
give you, so for the present adieu.
Yours truly,
From the Bio Grande.
TheU. S. steamship Fashion, Capt. Morgan,
arrived yesterday from the Brazos, whence she
sailed on the evening of the 21st. We are in
debted to Capt. Morgan for late Matamoros
papers. The news from this quarter is devoid
of general interest.
The Flag of the 16th inst., contains the fol
lowing paragraph relative to San Luis and Za
' cateces;
We have reports from San Luis Potosi and
Zacatecas within the last few days, which say
that in the former city, although great exer
tions are being made to organize a force to re
pel an expected march of our forces upon them,
yet nothing has been accomplished, nor did
there seem a probability that any thing could
be done towards raising an opposing force. In
Zacatecas report says a formidable force has
been organized, Gen. Bustaraente at the head,
who declares that he will not only defend the
State, but will yet redeem his country from
the disgrace wliich overwhelms her, if Santa
Anna is no longer instrusted with command in
the army. Bustamente attributes all the mis
fortunes’ that hare attended the Mexican arms
to the treachery or jealousy of Santa Anna,
who, he says, has sacrificed his country rather
than any other Mexican general should gain
the credit of a victory over the Americans. —
Crush Santa Anna, and then, he says, the
Mexican people can bo again united, and the
invaders made to feel the might of a nation
wronged.
The Flag learns that the election of Capt.
Hickey to the Texas Senate from the Nueces
Co. has been declared null and void—the vote
polled at the mouth of the Rio Grande being
declared illegal, that place not having been
designated as an election precinct.
The Flag contains no news from above ex
cept a report of a race meeting at Monterey,
which is spoken of in very glowing terms.
Maj. Washington, chief of Artillery, Lieut.
Sisgreaves, Topographical Engineers, and Maj.
Sparks, U. S. Paymaster, were the judges
on the occasion. Genl. Wool was present on
the judges’ stand, and the course was visited
by a large concourse of persons, among whom
were many lovely senoritas.
The Flag of the 16th announces the death
of John C. Glen, Surgeon U. S. A., which
occurred in Matamoras on the 14th inst. The
Flag thus notices the deceased;
Dr. Glen was a native of Charleston, S. C.,
and entered the army June 22, 1829. He had
served creditably in the Florida war was tor
some time upon duty on the southwestern |
border of the United State* and in Tezss—and :
for the past two years or more had been serv
ing with the Army of Occupation in Mexico.
The death of no one could cause more univer- 1
sal sorrow, and the grief occasioned is deeply
and sincerely felt by all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance. May he who does all
things for good so order this dispensation of
His Pi evidence that the grief of his relatives
may be assuaged, and that they may find com
fort and consolation in their bereavement in the
truth of His divine promises.
The remains of the lamented object of our
notice were interred in the army burial ground
at this place with the military honors suitable
to his rank, and his obsequies were attended
by a numerous concourse of friends, citizens
as well as military.
We extract the following exibit of disbdrs

Manufacturing at the South-
The importance of manufactures at the
south is rapidly developing itself, and the
effect thereof will in a few years be very sen
sibly experienced in other portions of the
union. Indeed it is already an interesting
question, whether it is not now, in some de
gree, the cause of certain events that are
transpiring in the manufacturing districts of
the east and north. Be this as it may, the
growth and extention of manufacturing enter
prise in the south, bids fair to equal, if not to
surpass its remarkable progress in the east;
and to those who have not enjoyed accesss to
collective facts and statistical reports on the
subject, it will prove, at present, a matter of
no small surprise. We have occasionally re
ferred, incidentally, to some isolated facts re
lating to the subject, and to the general char
acter of the progress of the work; but some
late statements have fallen under our observa
tion, from which we are able to compile a
general and more comprehensive view of the
present state of things in this respect, with a
glance at the prospect for the future.
“ A few years ago,” says De Bow’s Review,
“and South Carolina was supposed to be
prejudiced against the manufacturing system,
because hostile to the tariff. She maintained
the reverse, however, and was willing to give
her attention to legitimate manufactures.”
The consequence of this has been, that a
large amount of capital has been invested in
manufactures, and the names of some of the
most distinguished men in the state are now
associated with the enterprise. Some late
statistics furnish at length an account of the
following establishments, which we give, for
brevity, only by name; several of them are
large, and steadily increasing :
1. The DeKalb cotton factory, near Camden.
2. The Bivingsville cotton factory, near
Spartanburg Court-housej now the property
of G. &E. C. Leitner*
3. A new establishment, now being erected
by Dr. Bivings, on a large scale.
4. The Saluda factory, near Columbia, lately
enlarged and improved.
o. The Vaucluse factory, near Hamburg,
under the management of Gen. Jas. Jones.
G. The Graniteville factory, near Aiken,
lately established and under the management
of William Gregg, Es}.
7. The Fulton factory, near Stateburg, in
the hands of the enterprising Col. Dyson.
8 The Mount Dearborn factory, on the Ca
tawba, recently put in operation by the pro
prietor, D. McCulloch, Esq.
There are three yarn factories in full opera
tion, two of them of considerable importance.
One known as the Marlborough yarn factory,
owned by Messrs. Townsend & McQueen, but
now under lease to an enterprising and prac
tical manufacturer from the north. In this,
none but white operatives are employed.
There is a small factory at Society Hill,
owned by Col. Williams, which supplies the
neighborhood with a superior article of cotton
bagging. It also ships yarn for a northern
market.
There is an extensive establishment near
Charleston, from which the best results are
expected. There are several minor establish
ments in the back country, where the best
water-power in the world is said to abound.
New iron works are also springing up, while
those which date an earlier existence are in
creasing in importance. Besides several of a
minor character, in a thriving condition, there
are the Cherokee iron works, on Broad river,
in Spartanburg district, veiy extensive, under
the management of Major Thomas T. Twiss.
The South Carolina iron works, on Paccolet,
in the same .district, and the King’s Moun
tain iron works, on Broad river, in York dis
trict. Thus South Carolina is pressing on to
contest the markets of the world with both
Old and New England, and there are a variety
of considerations which suggest the belief
that she, with some of her sister states, will
prove formidable competitors.
Georgia and Tennessee are also destined to
become, perhaps, the greatest manufacturing
states in the union. This may seem a broad
expression, but there are facts existing which
will ere long not fail to command profound
attention, and assuredly exert a very marked
and peculiar influence in the commercial
world. From a late report made by Mr. Nes
bit, as chairman of the committee on manu
factures in the state of Georgia, we extract
the following significant passages;
“Georgia presents the greatest possible ad
vantage as a manufacturing State. She has a
large amount of unemployed capital and labor.
She boasts a climate favorable for every kirid
of enterprise and exertion. And then she oc
cupies a geopraphical position, which gives
her ready access to the markets of the world,
with her manufactured products.
“But a few years have elapsed since the in
troduction of manufacturing into Georgia.—
Those few years have witnessed the initiative
, policy, its rapid advance, and its triumph and
success. We have in successful operation se
’ veral iron establishments, with large capitals,
, and giving employment to some hundreds of
| operatives. These establishments are furnish
ing iron ware of various kinds, ckeap in price,
respectable in quantity, and unexcelled in
quality. They are also preparing to supply
, iron for machinery, agricultural implements,
! rail roads and all the uses of life. In the de
. partment of cotton manufacturing, your com-
L mittee have collected a few statistics, which
they do not present as accurate, but approxi
mating thereto. We know of thirty-two cot
ton factories in our State, in operation, or in
progress of construction. There is employed
in the building and working of. these thirty
two factories, two millions of dollars. The
| number of hands engaged therein is near three
thousand, and of persons directly receiving
their support from the same, six thousand. —
The consumption oi provisions and agricultu
ral products (other than cotton) by these fac
tories, is fully equally to three hundred thou
sand dollars per annum, at present prices.—
, Their consumption of cotton, per annum,
reaches 18,000 to 20,000 bags, and the value of
manufactured goods, turned but by them last
year fell nothing short of one and a half million
of dollars. One third of these manufactured |
goods were told out of the State, mostly in the
north era mtrketa,and]partially in the valley of
the Mississippi—that illimitable field of con
sumption which lays open to the enterprise of
our manufactures.*'
The Concluding sentence e last of thpara
graph corresponds with the views we expres
sed sometime ago, in speaking of the tenden
cy of the cotton trade. But it is clear that
the~enterprise of the southern States will not
be confined to this branch of manufactures. —
They will inVade the valley of the Mississippi
with as great a diversity of traffic as that of
the Yankee pedlar of an earlier age, and to
an immeasurably multiplied extent.
In Tennessee, the advantages and facilities
and inducements existing with reference to
the employment of capital in manufactures, aTe
being responded to with that sort of emulation
and enterprise that will speedly develope the
resources and capacities of this important State.
Traversed by fdil and rivers, with a
double outlet, to the gulf and the Atlantic,
and the growing and persuasive , west beyond;
with her immense agricultural products ena
bling her to feed the operative cheap and well,
she cannot pause. And in less than another
quarter of a century there is in less than another
the States of the south and southwest will be
the controlling centre and source of the manu
facturing operations of the world—at least in
one particular class thereof; for nothing can
enter into successful competition with manu
facturing enterprise established in the midst of
the raw material*

Macon,” the correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury, and who has taken up
his pen in favor of a Rail Road from Halcy
ondale to connect with the South Carolina
Hoad, seems to require some notice at the
hands of our brethren of the Savannah press.
If we are not mistaken in the writer, the press
in Savannah, are giving themselves unneces
sary trouble. If they will refer to their files
they will find a lengthy advertisement, by
which the said Halcyondale, was to become
quite a thriving inland city— lots were adver
tised, and every inducement offered to settlers.
How many availed themselves of the opportu
nity, deponent sayeth not; but one thing
we believe is certain, Halcyondale has not
yet received a charter, and we think never will,
its then advocate is tht originator of this
dangerous Rail Road route, about which he
speaks so confidently* 4
Comparison of Home Markets-
The Savannah Republican of the 2d inst.,
remarks :—By the following table, which we
take from the last circular of Wright & Lew
in, Brokers, New York, it appears that the
quotations of the Savannah market were high
er on the dates named, than those of any other
market in the United States. The circular in
question is dated on the 26tjx ult., and was
prepared to be sent out to England by the
last Hibernia.

If the Republican had confined itself to the
seaboard markets, it would have been correct,
but when it says “higher on the dates named
than any other market in the United States
it is a little, out of the way, unless the insig
nificant markets of Augusta and Hamburg,
with a stock on hand greater than either Sa
vannah or Charleston, are ruled out as be
longing to some other country. This we can
not consent to, and“although 4 it affords us plea
sure to see that Savannah stands A No. 1, in
the above list, the merchants who purchase
Cotton in this market very seldom find an op
portunity to ship,forsale, to either the Savan
nah or Charleston markets, but are compelled
to go further to get remunerating prices.
On the 16th February, we find in our Let

Theatre-liPwWft’s Benefit-
Wc have notieed the benefits of two of our
worthy young actors, and it afforded us plea
sure to see the house so well filled on both oc
casions. It was an assurance to the Manager
and to themselves that their endeavors in ca
tering for our amusement and instruction were
duly appreciated by our citizens.
We this morning call attention to the Bene
fit of Mr. Wolfe, one of our old and sterling
actors, who has contributed his full share to
the attractions of the Theatre during the pre
sent season, which takes place This Evening.
The Bill he offers, independent of his claims,
should draw a full house. The celebrated
National Drama of “ Putqam,” is to be re

Santa Anna’s Retirement-
The N. O. Delta of the 27th ult. speaking of
this renouned hero, says—“ There is no
reason to doubt the truth of the report brought
by the Edith, that the great Mexican, whose
energy has sustained this war and communi
cated whatever of vigor has characterized the
defence of Mexico, had received his passports
from our Commander-in-Chief, and ere this
has arrived in Vera Cruz on his way to foreign
parts. A gentleman now in this city saw the
letter to General Twiggs from General Scott,
directing the former to allow General Santa
Anna to depart in peace from Vera Cruz. It
is probable that the Mexican Chief arrived at
Vera Cruz in time to unite in the celebration
of the anniversaries of Washington’s birth-day
and of the glorious victory of Buena Vista.”
The Telegraph-
The Charleston Courier, of 3d inst., says—
“ Yesterday, the lightning-line was in active
operation, sending and receiving messages
from Augusta to the North, There were des
patches from Boston of the first inst., and
New York ofthe second. As no mention was
made of the arrital of the steamer, it is rea
sonable to conclude that she aid not reach
Boston yesterday. Our correspondent will
doubtless give us early notice of her arrival.”
Among these who followed the remains of
Ex-President Adams to the tomb, was Christo
pher Hughes, Esq., who was Secretary to the
Congress of Ghent, when the Treaty of Peace
was concluded between Great Britain and this
country. Os the American members of that
Congress, Mr. Clay and Mr. Gallatin are the
only survivors. Os the Cabinet of Mr. Mon
roe, it it stated that there is now but Mr. Cal
houn.
Almost A Fatal Accident to Henry Clay.
After retiring to rest on Thursday evening,
being a guest of Mayor Swift’s, of Philadel
phia—the servant who waits upon him, instead
of stopping off the gas in the usual way, blew
it out, and left the room. The Mayor was
awakened near daylight by an unsufferable
smell of gas. He proceeded immediately to
the room of Mr. Clay, and with difficulty
opened the widow—the room being filled with
gas. On enquiry of Mr. Clay if he was alive,
the reply was, “Yes, my old friend, and never
felt better in my life!” Oh ! my !
North Carolina*
The Whig State Convention assembled at
Raleigh on the 22d ult., and nominated
Charles Manly as their candidate for Governor.
A series of resolutions were reported by Mr.
Rayner, denunciatory of the Administration
and the war, and complimentary to Mr. Clay
and Gens. Taylor and Scott. No reference,
whatever, was made to the Wilmot Proviso,
but an unconditional pledge was given to sup
port the nominee of the Whig National Con
vention for the Presidency.

Correspondence of the Neve.
Washington, Feb. 28,1848.
The Treaty—-The Wilmot Proviso—Political
discussion.
It now seems to be conceded that the treaty
will be ratified by the Senate. The Texas
Senators will vote against it, because it respects
grants in Texas previous to the revolution of
1836. Amendments, it is said, will be made,
and in this form it will be sent back to Mexico,
What fate it will meet there, we cannot fore
see. For our own individual part, we do not
think that peace will ensue* although it is our
desire that it should. We look with great
solicitude for the action of the Mexican Con
gress, and the demonstrations ofthe people of
that country. From these we will be enabled
to form conclusions more correct than the
latest intelligence from distracted Mexico af
fords.
A copy of the treaty was in the hands ofthe
British minister in this city as soon, if not soon
er, than it was in those of the President; thus
showing that British interference was exerted
to frame it. But to this the Administration
had no objection; for a year ago, when British
mediation was rumored, it was officially pro
claimed that Government would not ac
cept of it, although any effort from that quar
-1 tar to produce peace would not be unaccept
j able.
Extbaorbixabt rui or Rain.—An np.
•u«a quantity of rain hasfallen during the
past month. A day or two before our last
number went to press, there was quite a heary
fall of rain, but this was only a sprinkling, to
that which sucaceded it. On Wednesday
night the 23d., about 9 o’clock, the rain com
menced falling, and continued through the
next day, and a considerable part of the night.
The weather was cold and inclement for some
days afterwards. —Edgefield Adv., in#.
Mortality op Lowell por 1847.—The
whole number of deaths during the year waa
949. Estimating the population of Lowell at
30,000, there has been one death in every 32
inhabitants in round nvmbersw— Lowell Cour.
Cotton.—Two bales of cotton were turned
out of store yesterday, marked and sent to the
press, in the course of shipment, without any*
thing extraordinary in their appearance, ex
cept being a little charred on the end. On be
ing put in the press, fire gushed out of the
ends of the bales, which were found, upon ex
amination, to be in a state of complete igni
tion. The cotton had been in store a week,
and the tire had been smothered in the bales
for more than that time.—Sor. Rep. March 2*
To Cut Glass with a Piece of Iron.—Draw
with a pencil on paper any pattern to which
you would have the glass conform; place the
pattern under the glass, holding both together
in the left hand, (for the glass must not rest ou
any plain surface;) then take a common spike
or some similar piece of iron, heat the point of
it to readness, and apply it to the edge of the
glass; draw the iron slowly forward, and the
edge of the glass will immediately crack; con
tinue moving the iron slowly over the glass,
tracing the pattern, and the chink in the glass
will follow at the distance of about half an inch
in every direction according to the motion of
the iron. It may sometimes be found requisite,
however, especially in forming corners, to ap
ply a wet finger to the -opposite side of the
glass. Tumblers and other glasses may be cut
or divided very fancifully by similar mean*.
The iron must be re-heated as often as the crc*
vice in the glass ceases to follow. —Sientific
