THE attention and interest of the citizens of Wilming ton and surrounding country of North Carolina are, and have been sometime since, attracted by a complete and sim ple apparatus for the purpose of manufacturing tar and coal, and generating gas from lightwood. The above machine was invented by Dr. Wm P. McCon nell, an eminent chemist of Washington City, D. C, and having obtained a patent right for the United States for the same, he has associated himself with Veirs & Townshend, under the style of Veirs, Townshend & Co. For the purpose of manufacturing and carrying on the bu siness, they havo had an apparatus constructed in Baltimore, sufficient to contain three cords of wood, and located on the place of Jas. It. Grist, Esq.,near Livingston Creek, in Bruns wick county, N. C, from whom they have purchased all the lightwood on about six thousand acres of pine land, where they have been operating ; but not being organized at pres ent to carry on the business to much extent, and feeling de sirous to introduce and show the utility and profita'bleness of said business, they have recently had constructed a small apparatus, near the Railroad in this place, from which a few days ago, they have given perfect satisfaction to all who witnessed its operation, in regard to the surprising yield of tar from a cord of an average quality of lightwood, besides the coal and gas, which is stated in certificate below by gen tlemen who witnessed the operation. The machines are cylindrical in form, and the rim built of thin sheet-iron ; there are four flues or retorts, extending from the top plate to bottom. The wood to be converted in to tar and coal, is placed in the machine from the doors, and the flues heated with a small portion of the charcoal, made from the same wood, creating an intense heat in the body of the machine, causing the tar to run out from a spout near the bottom of the machine. Two hands are sufficient to at tend to two machines, each containing four cords of light wood, after it has been delivered at the location ; that is. they will place in the wood, fill the barrels with tar, and take out the coal ; thus making an operation each day from both. Four or five hours will be sufficient to char four cords of wood that is, allowing the machines to contain four cords of wood, which size will be very portable ; bat as it regards the size, it will be discretionary with those who use them. They can be made to char and contain twenty cords ; and in regard to durability, the flues being the only part exposed to the fire, and they being built of thick boiler iron, have been pronounced by experienced judges, to last more than two years, as they are exposed to the heat but a few hours each day. The cost of apparatus is comparatively small. Those who wish to engage in this (a very lucrative) busi ness, or wislf farther information, can obtain such by ad dressing Veirs, Townshend & Co., Wilmington, N. C, as soon as practicable. Wilmington, X. C, May 27, 1852. We, the undersigned, certify that on yesterday, the 25th inst., we witnessed in this place the operation of manufac turing Tar, Coal and Gas, by Veirs, '1 ownshend & Co's. patent charring machine, and that it gave the most perfect satisfaction. From one fourth of a cord of an average quality of light wood, measured by disinterested gentlemen, and placed in a small apparatus, they produced in a short space of time both a large quantity and a very superior article of Tar, and a similar article made in Brunswick Co. by a larger machine, capable of holding three cords, which has been located on Mr. J. R. Grist's place, on Livingston Creek, has been sold by Mr. Henry Nutt in this market for $2,25 per barrel, while that made in the old way brought $1,70. And instead of making from one cord of the same wood, about two barrels of tar, as in the old mode from tar kilns, they, by their patent machine, which is both simple and complete, produced the astonishing yield of one and a third barrels from the above named one fourth of a cord of wood, or at the ratio of five and one third barrels per cord, the wood being charred regniartyv The tar is steamed and caused to run out pure and unadulterated ; the coal is of the very best quality ; the gas generated at the same time is not so objectionable in a sanitary point of view as the coal gas: either in its preparation or its use it has no unpleasant smell; even in its crude state it contains no ammoniac nor sulphur ated nyurogen, nor carourettea suipaur, nor in burning docs it produce a trace ot sulphuric acid .1 NO A 1AYLOR, E.

Wilmington, X. C. May 23th, 1S52. This is to certify, that we have seen and inspected a lot of pateni tar,manu;actured by Messrs. V eirs, I ownshend & Do. s Eatent machine, and that it is far superior to any tar that as ever been brought to this market, and is worth much more per bbl. WILL. E. HYDE, D. MACMIULAM. This is to certify, that Messrs. Veirs, Townshend & Co., have been, and are manufacturing tar, coal, &c, with their pa tent machine, containing three cords of lightwood, on my place in lirunswick county, near Livingston Dreek,and have purchased from me all my box-facing and lightwood on a- bout six thousand acres ot pine land JAS. R. GRIST. May 28th, 1852 226 tf 39 ltn THAYER'.S patent bridge. A NEW and valuable trestle Bridee has been patented TX by Mr. G. W. Thayer, of Massachusetts, which will be found to be an important invention. The amount of strength attained by the structure is spoken of as being wonderful. The inventor feels confident that no weight wnich could be placed upon it, could break it down. This consideration, taken together with the economy with which it may be built. will render it worthy the attention of all who are interested in the nibject. J. his bridge is adapted peculiarly to Rail roads as well as county roads, as it can be made of any re quired span, so as not to obstruct the navigation of streams when rafts or boats might be desired to pass, and can also be built at a very moderate expense. Isaac Wells, Wilmington, N. C.,is Agent for this State, as also for South Carolina and Virginia, and will attend to all communications upon the subject addressed to him, post paia. Wilmington, N.

WinfieM Scott for President by the Whig National Convention, reached thi city ? by telegraph, yesterday at noon. , The announcement , cansed considerable excitement, as it was' unexpected, and certainly unwelcome news to our citizens of. all f parties. The Whigs, who had looked with confidence for the nomination of Mr. Fillmor or Webster, were j generally deeply chagrined al the restill, and in many.: instances in our hearing, frankly declared lheir on-, quailified disapproval of the action of the convention. J The Democrats were, perhaps, as mnch , surprised as the Whigs, and we doubt not tRat the nomination of either of the other gentlemen named wonld have been -more satisfactory to them ; for though they speak con- ; fidently of the ability of their party to elect their can il Males, against any nominees on Ihe olber side, we doubt not that most of them regard Gen. Scott as tha t most available man the Whigs could have presented to the great Northern and Western States. Past ex perience has proven to us the potency of . military re- S nown, in an appeal to the popular suffrage,- and the wisest politicians aie unable to compute correctly the strength of the hero of many wars, great and small, irfi that section of the Union where his anti-slavery a!V liances commend him to popular favori It has been the boast of the N. Y. Tribune, the organ ol the Sew ard faction, that the north and West could elect Gen. Scott without the aid of the Whigs of the South. The boast was not made without a. careful estimate of his; strength, and no one will doubt, who knows the views; opinions, and aims of the editor and his fanatical fac tinn, that such a victory would be preferred by the7 to a triumph upon Whig principles with the Natio Whig party. In view of the strong and determined opposition to Scott in the Convention from the South, ami relying as they do upon the strength of the large free Stales, it is to be feared that the canvass will be -conducted at the North upon sectional grounds. If the contest should assume this character, with General Scotfs military prestige aided by the consummate tact of the arch-demagogue Seward.it is easy to foresee that the result would be at least doubtful. Any di vision of Southern strength in his favor would most probably insure his election, and the triumph of the faction by which he has been forced upon the Nation al Whig party. , Gen. Scott has, it is true, declared his acquiescence in the Compromise Platform of the Convention, a Plat form which, faithfully adhered to, would be satisfac tory to the Whigs of the South ; but in view of the past history of the slavery controversy, in the face of the open declarations of Gen. Scott's Northern-friends that they will consider no Platform recognizing the Fugitive Slave Law as binding upon them, we appre hend it wil! be difficult so to assure and establish the confidence of the Southern wing of the party, as to secure their cordial suppor' to the Seward and Greely nominee. In a word, the nomination of Gen. Scott by the Baltimore Convention, is, under the circumstances, highly objectionable to all parties, Whigs, Democrats and Union men of the South. We think we spenk the conviction of a!l when we say that the nomination. cannot receive tne hearty support of any party in Geor gia. In the present RtaUsof feeling we are confident that the nomination of a" third Presidential ticket, by' the Union Whig Delegates at Baltimore, would be promptly responded to by the Whigs of this State, ' most of whom, with the true Union Whigs of the North, would prefer defeat with Fillmore or Webster, as national men, to victory wijh Scott as a, .sectional chief. We shall not be surprised to see a movement for a third Presidential ticket in Georgia,' whicb,; while it would defeat the-designs of mere sectional men. - would preserve the nationality of the Whig iparty of the Union, an event of the highest importance in ihe " estimation of all who regard the nationality of the two great parties as esseniialjp, the perpetuity of "the Re public. Savannah. (Ga.) Morning News, (neutral,) 2M inst. - Interesting to Housekkepers. The following re cipe we find in a Bermuda paper: r- Tomato Figs.-h wil! be noticed that Mr. JB. Hey!, chemist and druggist of this town, obtained a prize at, the show held at Mount Langton last Wednesday, fr . ; Tomato Figs. As the tomatoes prepared according I to Mr. Heyl's plan are very delicious, and may be made an article of export, we have obtained from him a copy of his recipe which we subjoin for general information: ; " Take six pounds of sugar to one peck (or sixteen pounds) of the fruit, scald and remove the skin of the fruit in the usual way, cook themovera fire, their own juice being sufficient without the addition of water, un til the sugar penetrates, and they are clarified ; they are then shaken out, spread on dishes, flattened, and dried in the sun. A small quantity of the syrup should be occasionally sprinkled over them whilst drying, after which pack them down in boxes, treating each layer with powdered sugar. The syrup is afterward? con centrated and bo'tled for use. They keep well from year to year, and retain their flavor surprisinely, which . is nearly that Of the best quality of fresh figs. Tho pear-shaped or single tomatoes answer the purpose best. Ordinary brown sugar may be used, a large portion of which is retained in syrup. Courting in Right Style. " Git eout you nasty puppy let me alone or I'll tell your ma!" cried out Sally to her lover Jake , who sat about ten reet trom her, pulling dirt from the chimney iam. "I arn't techin' on you, Sal," responded Jake. " Well, perhaps you don't mean to nuther do yerr No, I don't." . "Cause you're too tarnal scary, you long-legged, lan tern -jawed, slab-sided, pigeon-toed, gnngic-kneed, owl, you you hain't got a tarn al bit o' sense; get along home with you." li Now, Sal, I love you, and you can't help it. nnd ef you don't let me stay and ooart you, my daddy will sue your'n for that cow he sold him t other day. By jingo, he said he'd do it.' " Well, look here, Jake if you want to court me, you'd better do it as a white man does that thing not set off there as if you thought I was pizen." " How on airth is that, Sal V Why, side right up here, and hug and kiss me, as if you really had some of the bone and sinner, of a man about you Do you spose a woman's only made to look at, you fool you 1 No: they're made for ' practical results, as Kossuth says to hug and kiss, and sicb like." Well," said Jake, drawing a long breath, "if I must, I must, for I do love you Sal "" and so Jake commenced sliding up to her, like a mnplc poker go ing to battle. Laying his arm gently upon Sal's shoulder, we thought we heard Sal say " That's the way to do it, old hoss that is acting like a white man orter." " Oh, Jerusalem a n-d pancakes !" exclaimed Jake, " if this ain't better than any apple sass ever mnrm made, a darned sight ! Crack-e-c ! buck-wheat cakes, slap-iacks and iasses aint no whar 'long side of you, Sal! oh, how I love you !" Here their lips "? came together, and the report that followed was liko pulling a horse's hoofs out of the mire. - Western theatricals are of rather a unique char- ; acter.
