FRIDAY, DECEMBER I, 1854.
OFFCIAL ORGAN OP THE CIM.
TflANKsorviso day was observed yesterday as
such occasions ordinarily; are. Business was sus
pended, the various churches vrcrc opened, and the
opportunity for recreation was improved. Many
went off "excursioning," gunning parties scattered
in all directions, some passed the day in social visit,
others rode into the country, while many lounged
about the streets, and held up the corners, devoutly
wishing that the holi-day was over, so that they
could get back to their beloved stores ani work
again. It was a delightful day, the sun giving us
his wannest and brightest smile. Certainly no com-
munity has greater reason for the offering up of
thanks for the blessings of the past year than this
of ours.

In the Senate, the following Bilw and Resolutions
' were introduced :
By Mr. Boyd, a Bill for the compensation of Jus

may be said that it is just; right and proper. Mag
istrates are poorly paid. Wc never heard of but one

In the House. Mr. Settle introduced a series of
Resolutions on the subject of Slavery, which gave
rise to an animated debate, in which several inem
bers joined. The 7 debate arose on a'proposijtion

select Committee to be called the Committee on
Federal Relations, to which all such matters coming

Mr. Barnnger had never known the introduction
of political resolutions in the Legislature productive
oi any gooa to the Mate.. He alluded to the purpo
ses for which they had assembled, ; and thought it
their duty to attend to more important affairs of a
domestic character. He dwelt upon the condition
of the State, her indebtedness and necessities, and
thought it the duty of her Legislature to raise her
credit. lie spoke of the importance of more import
ant matters claiming the attention of the Legisla
ture, as internal Improvements, Finances and Revi

Mr. Settle said he had no intention in the intro
duction of the resolutions to make political or party
capital thereby, lie thought the charge to that ef
lecx came with a bad grace from the other side of
the House, since they already had introduced on
that side a long series of resolutions on a political
issue. (Alluding tjMr. Leach's resolutions on the
land question.) Mr. Settle concluded his remarks
by moving to lay Mr. Leach's motion proposing the
Committee on the table, with the following result:

Ayes -n jars o. the House remsing to lay on

was granted.
The following Bills and Resolutions were intro
duced in the House :
By Mr. Barnes, of - Edgecombe, a Resolution in
structing the Committee on the Judiciary to inquire

By Mr. Black, a Bill relating to the sale of real
estate in the County of Mecklenburg, which passed
its nrst reading and was referred to the Committee

By Mr. Carmichael, a Bill to distribute the Com

cording to white population. Referred to the Com
mittee on Education.
Concurring in a Message from the Senate, the
House proceeded to vote for Comptroller. Mr. B.
W. Brooks was placed in nomination by Mr. Waugh,
and no other nominationjbeing made, the House pro
ceeded to vote with the following result : Mr.
Brooks, 104 Felix Axley, 2 Mr. Brogden 1 !
Mr. Steele introduced a Bill incorporating the
Wilmington and Charlotte Rail Road Company. ,
Mr. J. H. Headen introduced a Bill to incorporate
the Chatham Rail Road Company. This road is
contemplated to extend; from the coal fields to some
point on the Central Road west of Raleigh. '
These two Billswere referred to the Committee
on Internal Improvements.
Mr. Watts introduced a Bill relating to floating
ton timber on the Roanoke river, which, by suspen
sion of Rules, passed through its several readings,
enrolled and sent to the! Senate.
By Mr. Bryson, a Bill relating to the destruction
of live stock. Referred to the Committee on the
Judiciary.
The Committee on the election of Comptroller re

and Western Turnpike jRoad : Messrs. Rolen, Pat

The Governor transmitted the Report of the Presi
dent and Directors of the Cape Fear and Deep River
Navigation Company, which was ordered to be
printed.
Well! the Comptroller's office lias been filled,
and the disappointed turned away with a heart
heavier than their fobs. I had felt some interest in
Brogden, and1 had intimated that he would get the
nomination. It will learn me a lesson to never risk
my reputation as 'a prophet on the doings of the
Democracy. They do strange and unaccountable
things sometimes. Mr. Brooks i3 said to be a very
worthy man, he having made himself by industry
and personal efforts. I should have conjectured he
was every way worthy of the office by the Whigs
voting for him with so much unanimity. We may
have an opportunity sotne of these days of seeing
whether or not the Democracy will return the com
pliment. I was not a little amused to-day. Passing by
Editor Holden'8,.1 saw a small flag-staff erected on
the top of his, palings, bearing a small flag seven
by nine inches on which was painted two small
red stripes, and all surmounted by three turkey
feathers. Now, I was puzzled to know what it all
meant, I went away vtith several conjectures on
my mind : First, that in compliance with the rec
ommendation of jDavid, the Governor, to have two
small monuments erected, he, Holden, had erected
a small nag, on a small
staff with two small red
one unto David Sebastopol
hers were emblems of vic
strips, one for Asa and
Reid. And that the feal
tory and rejoicing. But why not have used the
feathers of some chivalric Shanghai ? Was it be
cause, the victory was i" nothing to Bragg on?"
NothiBg to crow over, and only worthy of a gobble?
the nag must have been some allusion to Asa and
David, or it was a "sign" that Holden had joined
the Know Nothings or the D. Q. I's. I don't know
which, but would give my allowance of pea nuts to
morrow to know..
Yours, . " in one grande perplexitie. "

For the Herald.
Black Rock, Nov. 27, 1854.
Mb. Bukr : A few days before taking leave of
my native 4( Yankee land," it came in my way to
visit some of the numerous manufactories with
which the Stste of Connecticut abounds, and, pre
suming that many of your readers, (if not all,) take
an interest in these curious, and useful branches of
industry, which have so largely contributed to the
wealth of our country, I haye ventured to send you
the subjoined description, of two very important de
partments of handicraft. It is, I believe, somewhat
proverbial, that the Connecticut Yankee is a versa
tile character, much given to inventions, and noted
for his skillful and, "cunning devices." At a very
early period in life, his singular predilection com
mences to develope itself, and his inventive genius
takes visible shape, in an endless variety of curious
forms, from that-of a church steeple, of unique and
gigaatic proportions, down through the whole cata
logue of the familiar or the wonderful, to a baby
cart, a jack-knife, or a wooden nutmeg.
Among the vast number of manufacturing towns
which have, ever since the days of good old John
Winthrop, heen rapidly springing up in every valley
and beside every streamlet, is the village of West
Winsted, and whoever visits it,
" From morn till setting sun," j
will hear the never-ceasing hum of industry, the j
loud strokes of the noisy hammer, and the unvary
ing clatter of machinery. The first establishment I
visited was the one devoted to the manufacture of
grass scythes. It was very interesting to watch
the variousj.stages of progress, by which a rough
plate or rof of iron, ; without form or comeliness,'!
rapidly assumed the proportions of a keen, polished
and perfect Instrument.; The work of shaping is
done, almost entirely, by the use of utrip-hammers."
oi w men a separaiu one us requireoi lor each opera'
tion. These are so adjusted," that-' the weight of tie
workman's foot, upon a pedal, sets in motion, like a
thing of life, any one he wishes totw. The bar of
metal la Lrst heated to whiteness, and then drawn
beneath a very powerful hammer, which performs, I
Should thins, J2U stroke?, or thereabouts, per inn
ute.' In this way the requisite thickness is attained
for i welding on,! the steel, which is to fbrm the
edge. This being done, it is again heated, until the
metal becomes so soft and yielding that a few mode
rate strokes upon the edge, with the Hat " or a
small hammer, are sufficient to pi re it the nroner
degree of curvature It is then 8 paked under the j
large hammer, and, in less than one minute, is re
ouceu to tne nnai thicKness. .Again heated and a
gain hammered, the " bucking-up " is performed.
Another heat, and a different hammer the bead
ing " hammer breaks loose. Of course, I cannot '
stop to describe each process: of roughing," !
f welding,'7 " smoking," u backing-up," " beading,"
heeling," " pointing," and so on, through the chap
ter. It would cover a sheet. The most that 1 hope
to do, in this sketch, is to convey some general idea
of the means and method employed, of the amount
of labor expended in the manufacture of a single
scythe, and of the number annually produced.
After the instrument, by successive heatings and
hammerings, has been brought to the proper form,
it is tempered by slowly drawing it through the fire,
until it is nearly red. The workman then throws
water upon it with a little stick, dipped in a trough,
and by the peculiar hissing, determines, if the right
temper has been reached. An experienced temper
er can judge with surprising accuracy, though this
is the most nice and difficult part of the operation.
Thus far, the work has been confined to a single
apartment. Each scythe has received some seven
teen heatings, and about the same number of ham
merings. It needs now only to be ground, polished
and painted. By this time we arij glad enough to
escape the " noise and confusion " of the fbrging
room. At times this is excessive, and the workmen
find it necessary to stop their ears with cotton, in
order to prevent premature deafness. Any one
who doubts the necessity of this precaution should
go and stand for a half-hour, among 15 or 20 trip
hammers, nearly all rattling furiously away. Some
at the rate of 200 strokes per minute. My word
for it, the truth will be strikingly demonstrated to
all unbelievers of this sort. 1
The grinding room is contiguous, peering thro' the
thick dust, as wenter, coughing, sneezing and scarce
ly able to breathe the hot and stifling air, we discern
several stalwart fellows, completely! begrimed with
sweat and dirt, each seated astride a narrow bench,
beneath which revolves, with tremendous velocity,
a large grindstone, five or six feet in diameter. The
workmen grasp the scythe firmly at each end, lays it
flat upon the stone, (leaning forward over the end
of the bench) and throws upon it nearly the whole
weight of his body. To avoid bending the instru
ment, the grinder fastens it to a stiff, narrow strip
of board. The instant the iron touches the stone,
the disintegrated particles are ignited by the intense
friction, and a long fiery jet of hissing sparks pours
out, two or three feet from the stone. Our stay
here is very brief, and we hasten qHiickly into the
open air, greatly prefering even thejdeafeningdiu o'
the noisy trip-hammers, rather than to inhale the
sharp grit from the grindstones, which is flying off
by flints. No part of scythe making is so destruc
tive to health as the grinding, and he who confines
himself closely to this employment, cannot reason
ably flatter himself with the hope of a very long life.
The next operation is that of polishing by means
of the " Emery wheel," which revolyes very swiftly,
and operates precisely like the grindstone, only that
it cuts away with less rapidity, and leaves a smooth,
even surface. A coat of paint and an appropriate la
bel are now added, and the instrument is careful
ly packed for market. Forty-five hundred dozen
(54,000) are annually made in one sfiop, and of this
number, only about 2400, or about 4 in 90 arc found
defective. Besides the common grass scythe, this !
company manufactures a -great number of cradle j
scythes and "hay-knives;" for perpendicularhr divid-1
ing a stack or a mow.
The next place I visited was the Auger manufac
tory, though I dread to commence; a description,
lest I be stigmatized as a "bore." .From the very
nature of the case, my liability to that charge be
comes strikingly obvious. But, I will content my
self with as concise an account aslpossible, with
out presuming to follow all the twists and turns
which a thorough handling of the subject would in
volve, but will confine myself strictly to the point
iest the reader should lose his temper.
First, a rod of iron is cut to the; proper length,
and the portion that is to form the 41 web " ham
mered flat, at a uniform width and thickness, accor
ding to the size required. The flat portion is then
heated, and a slit, half an inch deep, made with a
chisel, longitudinally across the end of the flattened
part. Into this opening a strip of steel, large enough
to fill it, is inserted, after which the same part is
dipped into pulverized borax, heated and again
hammered until the iron and the steel are completely
joined. The borax melts and runsfinto all parts of
the seam, forming a flux which prevents oxydation
and greatly assists the welding process. The piece
of steel, thus inserted, is to form the cutting part,
or " lips, "and the screw, when the auger is finished.
Another hand receives the instrument in this state,
heats the whole of the flattened part, fastens the
" shank " into a vice, and applying a crank to the
heated end, turns it quickly around two or three
times. This process forms the web, and it is only
at this moment that you begin to perceive, (unless
previously informed) what the sooty workman is
about. After an operation of straightening, which
occupies half a minute more, he throws from his
hand what looks very much like a rusty old auger
that has passed through much hard service, and
finally lost its handle and point. Another process
is that of hammering out this point, upon which a
spiral thread is to be cut. This is a new operation,
requiring great attention and precision, yet the
workman strikes rapidly, and with such astonishing
accuracy, that, though he raises his hammer at
each stroke, two or three feet from the anvil, he
never fails to hit in precisely the right place. The
"next man " files the " lips, " or cutting edges, to
their proper shape, after which the steel point is
turned in a lathe which reduces it to a conical form.
The thread is then cut by means of a wheel or disc
of steel, whose edge has been longitudinally furrow
ed and then cross-cut, with great uniformity, so as
to make a complete revolving file. : This being set
in motion, the steel point is held across the edge
of the disc, slightly inclined, so that each thread
will join its fellow, when the revolution is comple
ted. - The auger is slowly turned iwith the hand,
and, in less than ten seconds, a perfect 44 double
threaded " screw is formed. Tt is then polished,
varnished and packed.
In these operations which I have attempted to
describe, a great deal is saved, in respect, both of
time and material, by means of a proper 44 division
of labor. " By confining himself, Exclusively, to a
single branch of the business, each workman is able,
beyond a doubt, to accomplish a third more labor
than otherwise. These manufactories are conduct
ed upon this principle, which accounts for the rap
idity and unerring accuracy with which their opera
tions are performed. The man who tempers does
nothing else, and the work of welding, grinding,
polishing, painting, labelling, packing, and so on,
am 1 At. m
requires lor cacn tne exclusive attention or one or
more hands.
In my next, I will speak of the 44 bab v-cart " man
ufactory, and perhaps narrate some of the incidents
that transpired, during: the progress of my hither
ward trip, ;' Yours sincerely, . W.
