doincr their work perfectly smooth and beautiful.
In addition to the above, I will furnish all kinds of
gearing and shafting: Iron Water-wheel;: Patent Saw

Mr J I. Stewart can be consulted with reference to
the above mills or machinery, and orders through him
will receive prompt attention. A list of prices, to
gether with circulars containing certificates from per
sons using my mills, will be sent on application.

FRANKLIN PIEECE ON HARPER'S
FERRY.
Ex-President Franklin Pierce has addressed a
long and decidedly patriotic letter to the Executive
Committee of a Union meeting which has been
held in Faneuil Hall. Boston, lie appeals to the
people for sympathy vith the South, lie denounces
the Harper's Ferry riot: and finds not a shadow
of excuse for those who sympathised with Brown s
fate. With vehement truth he says :
"It is not the recent invasion of Virginia which
should awaken the strongest apprehension, hut the I
teachings, still vehemently persisted in, from which ,
it sprung, with the inevitable necessity which it
evolves the effect from the cause. Suhtle, crafty
men, who, passing by duties and obligations,
habitually appeal to sectional prejudice and passions,
by denouncing the institutions and people of the !
South, and thus inflame the northern mind to the
pitch of resistance to the clear provisions ofthe
fundamental law who, under plausible pretexts
addressed to those prejudices and passions, pass
local laws designed to evade constitutional obliga- J
llv and trnl v. whether thev believe it
or not, the men who are hurrying us upon swift
destruction."
An Atrocious Case of Lynching. The
Leavenworth ( Kansas) Herald relates the following
tragical occurrence as having taken place in
Jcfl'erson county of that Territory :
It appears thatafyoung man by the name of
Price gained a law suit over his father-in-law, who,
to revenge himself, persuaded his daughter to leave
her husband, and live with him afterward suing
the son-in-law for her hoard, gained the case, and
seized his cattle to justify judgment. The son-in-law
afterwards seized the old man's cattle and was
making off with tliem when he was arrested; and
brought hack. He was about to he tried by law when
a body of men composed of citizens ofthe neighbor
hood, seized and hung him without judge or jury,
very coolly burying him near by. A coroner s
jury afterwards returned a-vcrdict against them,
but, though a mock trial was had, nothing wasdone.
Complimentary A man once asked another
who he liked best to hear preach. 'Why,' said he,
I like to hear Air B best, because 1 don't like
to hear any preaching, and his comes the nearest
to nothing of any I ever heard."

I will give the mode which I have practiced
for a long time very successfully. Tho hams I
cure, generally sell in Savannah at 15 to 18 cents
and are considered equal to Westphalia. Kill tho
hogs before day, and when they arc drained reuwye
them to the smoke house; or, which is better, kill
them at 4 or 5 P M., and get them to the smoke
house by nightfall The object is to keep tho
meat from the sun and flies. Cut up the meat,
cutting off the hams first, so that while some of
the hands are engaged in cutting up the other
meat, the hams can be attended to; sprinkle a
small teaspoonful of powdered saltpetre on each
ham, and rub it in with the fingers, or make a
solution of saltpetre and swab the hams with it;
theu add a tahlespoonful, or more, of red pepper
to eaoh hum and rub it in; then add a tahlespoonful
of good brown sugar or good New Orleans syrup
to each lwm and rub that in; let the hams lay till
the other meat is cut up and rubbed with salt and
laid away; then take the hams and rub them with
salt and lay them away single, on boards.
The next morning or the next night take up
the hams and rub them with salt thoroughly and
put them in ti.ht tubs (molasses hogsheads cut in
two) till the erd of the fourth week; then hang
them up to smoke. The shoulders may be treated
in the same wlv the middlings need not be.
Smoke with tan hark or green hickory wood; kindle
with light-wood chips. Have some hickory ashes
prepared in dry weather and kept in a barrel in
the smoke house, ai.d when the meat is taken down
(early in March) rub it all with ashes; lay away
the hams by themselves in tubs or boxes; between
every layer of hams put four sticks, made from
old oak boards or seasoned wood. Tack the
shoulders by themselves in the same way, and the
sides or middlings the same. Over-haul the meat
the 1st of May and 1st of July, and rub with
ashes again if need be.
This is very troublesome; but every lover of
ham must take pains in order to succeed.
Hancock county, Ga., Dec 12. D. 1.
FICrHT WITH A RUNAWAY
Mr James Wallace, residing near Kelly's Cove,
in the county of Blatien, had a violent rencontre
with a runaway slave, some two or three weeks
since, which resulted in the death of the latter.
Mr Wallace's statement is, that, while passing
through a thick cane-brake on theside ofthe river,
he came suddenly upon a nero, unknown to him
in the act of tying a hog belonging to Mr. James
Allen, in whose employ he (Wallace) then was.
lie ordered the negro to let go the hog, when tho
latter immediately rose and with a stick, struck him
( Wallace) a severe blow on his arm and neck,
Wallace fending off the blow. The uegro then
closed in on Wallace and cut his clothes in several
places, his knife being too dull to inflict a serious
wound. Mr Wallace tried to shoot him, but, the
negro seized the muzzle of the gun. and held it off
so that, if discharged, it would not strike him
Wallace fired one barrel and missed. lie then got
his knife from his pocket, opened it with his teeth
and struck the negro a severe blow in his side,
which caused him to loose his hold, but still holding
on to the muzzle ofthe gun. Wallace; pulled the
gun back until it got In a range with tho negro's
body, and fired, putting the whole contents into
him. The negro fell and rolled over into the river.
His body has not yet been recovered. Signs of
the struggle were seen afterwards by seveal persons
such as the trampling down ofthe canes, and foot
prints of different sizorf, and blood from the placeof
the rencontre to the rivr. Tliisgocs to corroborate
Mr. Wallace's statement. Wilni. llirahl.

Retaliatory Mkasurks. We notice in the
Richmond Whig accounts of meetings in several
counties in Virginia, taking measures for retaliating
on the North fur its outrages on the South. The
following resolutions, adopted in Westnifircland
county, may serve as a sample of the spirit of all
these meetings :
"First We will adopt a strict non-intercourne
in trade and commerce with the citizens and mer
chants of all nonslaveholding States. We will
neither sell to them any article of the growth or
manufacture of our State or buy from them or
consume any article of the growth or manufacture
of their States.
"Second We will cease to travel amongst
them or visit them, except upon the most urgent
and unavoidable business!
"Third We will cniphy no laborers or mech
anics from the North.
"Fourth We will arrest and send out of the
! State, in the most summary manner, all itinerant
! venders of Northern books, newspapers, permdicals,
or any other article or Northern growth or manu
facture; and all persons who arc suspected of anti
slavery opinion; or sympathies, or whoeaunot givo
a precise and true account of themselves, as en
gaged in lawful business, we will treat as vagrants
and incendiaries.
Tn Meettsq in Boston. The meeting in
JSoston, expressive of sympathy with the South,
appears to have been a very Iar;c and respectable
one. lion. Wm. Appleton called the meeting to
order, and Kx-Guv. Lincoln presided, assisted by
one hundred and twenty-nine vice Presidents,
among whom were Ex-( Jovernors Morton, liriggs,
Clifford, and Gardner, Mayor Lincoln, P C Prooks,
C C Green, J3 V Uallett, G T Curtis, G S Hib
hard, E T) Peach, Prof. Felton, and others. Very
able speeches, expressed in bold and fearless terms,
were delivered by Mr Everett and Mr On thing
A letter of concurrence in the objects of the meet
ing was read from Ex-President Fierce. The
resolutions are patriotic and worthy the eminent
source from which they flow. We copy the fol
lowing, which hears upon the immediate subject
of irritation to the South:
Resolved, That we look with indignation and
abhorrence upon the recent invasion of the Com
monwealth of Virginia; that however narrow or
however comprehensive was the clandestine and
iniepuitous pcheme in its instruments of execution,
it was an undisguised assault upon the peace and
welfare ofthe whole country; that we deeply sym
pathise with the people of Virginia in the trying
scenes through which they have been called to
pass; and proffer them and their civil authorities,
and those of the Federal Government, our unfail
ing countenance and support in the mainteuauco
of the laws of the land and public peaec.
