each neighborhood, consisting of froip* three to
six, to combine, construct the vats and divide the
labor among themselves. They will make as good
leather as they now get, if not better, aud they
will g^t double the quantity they now receive
from the tanners.
Tanning Leather.—Pure watervat six feet
square, four feet deep. Lime water vat—same.
Vat for bark four feet wide, four deep, and
eight long. Soak hides till soft in pure water—
from five to seven days—then flesh on beam.
I Beam for breaking the hides six feet long—a
j log, two feet diameter, split in two—underneath
' hollowed out for prop, to raise or depress. In
the process of breaking, use a knife two feet
long with shanks for handles—knife littU round-
ing.
As soon as flesh is taken oft, (one hand will
flesh a dozen hides a day,) the hides are put in
the linievat—weak solution—one bushel Hme—
first slacked. The vat not quite full of water
Hides to be taken out every other day to air,
and replaced smooth—plunge or stir vat every
time the hides are drawn An iron hook, like
ice-hooks, to draw the hides.
As soon as hair will slip, throw hides over
beam, hairside up and rub with fleshing knite
The hair ofi, the hides are put back in vat of
pure water, and to remain there a day or two—
then throw across the beam again, and with same
fleshing knife, work out all the lime and remain
ing flesh. One hand will flesh 50 hides a day
The process of bating may be omitted in tan
ning coarse leather.
Take the hides as clean as possible to the bark-
vat. At first ono bushel of bark, pounded or
ground—this weak solution to continue two days
—and gradually strengthened by addition of bark,
.say one bushel daily. Keep it in two weeks;
handling and strengthening liquor.
Then clean out vat, taking out all the bark
Throw in pounded bark—put down one hide—
cover that inch thick with bark and so on, each
hide. Let in water and let it remain a month
Again clean out vat, reverse hides and repeal
operation—and let this remain a month. Again
clean out vat and repeat t)peration—and remain
another month.
((’hestnut oak bark the best—tho’ Spanish or
black oak good )
After yd month, the hide being tanned, is tak
en out and hung upon poles. This is sole leather
without further labor.
That intended for upper leather, half dry, is
oiled on the grain or hair side with a mop. Ke-
verse side, and grease heavily on flesh side, i
pound tallow and A pint train oil to a side mixed.
This mixture is prepared thus: melt the tallow
slowly and take same quantity of oil mixed and
stirred in—alter it becomes cool, is ready for use.
Then hang the hides in shade till dry.

^4 Th{eiinj Gcricral and a General Thief.—
The Yankee papers announce that Gen. Rufus
King has been appointed to the command at Nor
folk, vice Gen. Viele, relieved. This man, King,
is the same scoundrel who, last summer, held com
mand at Fredericksburg, and, while there, profit
ed by his position to commit various acts of thieve
ry. Among others reported to us, on unques
tionable authority, was his stealing a lady’s piano,
boxing it up and sending it North, for the amuse
ment ol his accomplished wife. He will doubt
less put in practice the same profitable arts in
the new field to which he has been called; and the
ladies of Norfolk may look to their wardrobes and
furniture. This creature, who glories in playing
the pArt of the thief, claims to come of the best
breed of Yankee dogs. His father, or grand-father,
was old Rufus King.—Richmond \Yhij.
A'/nbaryo on Clothing.—The express company
has been notified not to take any clothing and
clothing material beyond the limits of Georgia
except upon the order of the Confederate authori
ties. So says the Macon Telegraph. The same
paper adds:
Governor Hrown’s order is preliminary to a
general seizure of cloth, clothing, leatBer, &c.,
for tho use of the troops, under the prices es
tablishes by a resolution of the Legislature,
which allows a dollar a pound for leather, three
dollars a pair for shoes, and so on.
Lii^s.—Two hundred dozen of common hen
eggs were sold in this city yesterday by an en
terprising huckster, at 55 cents per dozen. Since
the lays of hens bring such a good round price,
why may not the lays of a poet bring something
handsome' We, though a rough sort of songster,
have a mind to try an experiment, and see what
can be done in this intellectual way. Here is a
fair specimen of our ability in this line—a touch
ing song adapted to any ttine:
The rooster is a useful fowl.
He crows at the oreak of day—
He gallantly escorTs the hens,
And cackles when they lay!
And so on for several verses, which- we have
forgotten, but which we can easily remember, if
sufficient inducements are offered.— Selma Rep.
A Heavy Discount.—The Houston (Texas)
News says:
The State Gazette makes some very just stric
tures upon the prices of our penitentiary goods
when sold^o the Confederate Goverumont, as com
pared with the prices our own citizeus have to
pay. The editor says the goods are sold to the
(Government 500 per cent, lesyj than they would
bring if offered to the people.
■\ViU-any arithm«>tical friend inform us what
remains after a discount of 500 per cei#,?
