" Thus Bttith the Lerd, X Offer thee Three Things." 1 long to no sex bnt on the eternal principles of right and wrong, to witness the attention paid to this child of some freeman born into Slavery through the direful curse laid by the law upon its mother. j No doubt the father, whoever he may be, holds tip his hands in holy horror at the idea of legal amalgamation, reads his bible to find some semblanoe of tho old Jewish law, Wp rove it a "Divine institution,"! "and talks wisely and On the streets too" about the degradation and licentiousness of the negro race. The little white lamb among a colored flock was petted and patted, and even kissed ; for it was kept sweet and clean in pink and white. What a world of thought clustered about this one sweet child. Feniw. Legislature, Session of 1883. The Discovery of Shot-making. BUSINESS CABDS. MISCELLANEOUS. About seventy years ago there lived i* the oity of Boston, England, a Mr. William Watts, a plumber and glazier. To this occupation he added that of a shot-maker. At that time shot-making was but a partially developed art, and consisted in letting drops of melted lead fall into a vessel of water from a bight of but tWo or three feet, which caused the drops to suddenly cool in a rounded form. But as the metal did not thoroughly solidify before it reached the water, the sudden contact of it with the latter caused a slight indentation on the surface of every shot exactly at the point where it first touched the liquid* la fact, it destroyed or rather prevented, perfect sphericity—a slight imperfeotion to all appearance, but quite sufficient to prevent the little missiles from traveling in a straight line when sent from a gun.

Com 1 Mr. Watts was a bit of a sportsman himself, and seeing that with the shot as then made he could not secure a certain aim, he investigated the matter, and soon eom* to the conclusion that that imperfect sphericity was the cause of the shot tying wide of the mark. The fault ascertained, the question next was How to correct it. He racked his brain day and night, hoping to discover some method of making a perfectly round shot—many were the experiments he made, but all in vain, and he at last gave up the idea in dispair. Bet Mr. Watts had a wife who was not so easily beated, and she had s«t ber wits to work also. She was a remarkably qsiet, thoughtful woman, and took it into her need that, as there was a cure for almost pvery ill, so there might be a remedy for had shot. She was one of those who did'nt know what impossibilities meant. This idea having entered her mind, there it remained, and we all of us know that if a woman bets ber heart on accomplishing anything, accomplish it she will. Day after day she watched the process of shotmaking, as she sat by the water tank knitting away for dear life, but saying never a word, though eye, brain and fingers were not unemployed for a moment. Po matters went on for many months; Mr.Wattsbecame desponding!' his business fell off, and poverty stared him in the face. Rather than mako imperfect shot, he oared sot to mnkc any, and he must soon have gene to ruin had it not been for a dream. XVI—Lancaster—Wm. Hamilton, r; John A. Hiestand, r. XVII—York—A.

An English journal, after valuing the total product of tbe mines of Great Britain at £41,491,102 per annum, and computing that England's supply of soal will last at least seven hundred years longer, at present rates of consumption, gives the following account of tho depth to which the bowels of the earth have been pierced in England :— The depth to which we mine for coal is already great. The pit at Dunkenfield, in Cheshire, is 2004 feet beblow the surface to the point whore it intersects the " Black Mine Coal," a Beam that is four foet six inches thick, and of the best quality for domestic and manufacturing purposes; from this point s further depth of five hundred feet has been attained by means of an engine plane in the bed of coal, so that a great portion of the coal is raised from tbo enormous depth of 2504 feet. At Pendleton, near Manchester, coal is daily worked from the enormous depth of 2504 feet,and the coal of Wigan is brought from 1773 feet below the surface. Many of the Durham colleries are equally deep, and far more extended in their subterranean labyrinths. Some of those, and others in Cumberland, are worked out far under. the bed of the sea; and on both sides of the island we are rapidly extending our subterranean burrowing. Dolcoath tin mine, in Cornwall, is now working at one thousand eight hundred feet from the surface, and is rapidly sinking deeper. The depth of Tresvean, a copper mine, is 2180 feet. Many other tin and copper mines are approaohing these depths ; and under the atlantic waves, man is pursuing his labors daily at half a mile from the surfaoe. To aid the miner in these severe tasks, the gigantic steam engines, with cylinders 100 inches in diameter, are employed in pumping water from these vast depths. She is in receipt of the latest patterns for Ladies' Dresses anil Cloaks, and Children's Clothing and will avail herself of these advantages in serving her customers. Pittston, Oet. 3,1861. A. H.

Sculptor, and Dealer in CORNER OF LLOYD & PRIME STREETS, BUFFALO, N. Y., The Zachcons, who did climb tho tree Hi* dark skinned conqueror* to nee, One night Mr. Watts wag suddenly arronsed from comfortable slumber by a vigorous shake of his shoulder. Hubding his eyes, and " God blessing" himself, he sat bolt upright in bed, and perceived with peat surprise (for the moon was shining into the chamber) that his usually quiet wife was pacing the room, exclaiming, not " Eureka/' but something very much to the same effect: " I've found out how to do it;" and then she added: " Get up directly, William, I've made your fortune I" Mr. Watts was now thoroughly awake, and Mrs. Watts related her " vision of the night." She had dreamed (or rather thought in her sleep) that, if the drops of molten lead were allowed to fall through the air from a considerable hight, so as to get thoroughly hardened before they reached the wSfer, their perfectly spherical forms wouly not be damaged by the sudden contact therewith. The next moning Mr. and Mrs. Watts, in great secresy, tried the experiment. Opposite their house was a lofty old church tower—that of St Mary lledcliffe—and this tower was selected as the scene rf operations. The sexton was a neighbo*,— From him the key was borrowed, and by eight o'clock Mr. Watts was there with a charcoal brazier, some lead, and a bucket of water, and the shot card (or mold) as the implement was called, through which the melted lead was poured or strained to form drops. You may be sure they "locked themselves in. The stairoase of the tower was circular, so that a " well" was formed from the top to the bottom—-just the thing required. At the summit Mr. Watts fixed his " card," while at the bottom Mrs. Watts stood beside the pail of water, on the added contents of whioh, before long, so much might depend.

January 9, 1862.—ly Commission Merchants will doubtless be all told by your own correspondent, M. F., who teas there. 1 have looked down into the hold of the Darlington, and seen the mass of living, moving humanity stowed away, " in Out middle, pottage," enduring the closeness and dimness with songs of rejoicing, for their inconveniences were to end in freedom. not in Slavery. I have shaken hands till the strong grip of the emancipated, in the first enthusiasm of joy, made my very nerves quiver. For more than one old mother, who had escaped from the tyranny that had robbed her of half her household (and in one case of all) clasped my hand so tightly, as she cried, " Bress the Lord, missis." " Thank the good Lord, missis." "We neber 'spect to see this day, missis ; nebber, nebber, nebber." " We amost in heben now,missis." That I actually shrunk with pain. Oh ! what strength they have gathered from their hard toil in oane and cotton fields, for the white tyrant's work. But his day of power is past. The laborers on the Sea Islands seem a more oppressed and degraded class than those gathered upon the mainland plantations or the coast towns. It is said the flying Rebels took with them all the bright, sound, able ones, and left behind those who could not do much in helping them to nphold the rebellion, by maintaining and sustaining the only class, in these fertile regions, that cannot or will not sustain themselves.

BLACK, Winding machines, which are masterpieces of mechanical skill, are'ever at work raising the minerals from each dark abyss, and " man engines," of considerable ingenuit—so called because they bring the wearied miner to the light ot day, saving him from the toil of climbing on perpendicular ladders—are introduced in many of our most perfectly oondacted mines.— Our coal costs us annually one thousand lives, and more than double that number of our metalliferous miners perish from aocideuts in the mines, or at an unusually early ago—thirty-two—from diseases contracted by the conditions of their toils. By the industry of our mining population there is annually added to our national wealth considerably more than £30,000,- 000. This, when elaborated by the process of manufacture, is increased in value teo-fold. While we are thus drawing upon that " hoarded treasure, guarded by dragons white and red," which the enchanted Martin is fabled to have concealed in the eaves of the earth, we should remember how muoh of mental labor and muscular power is expend* 1, and how large a per centage of human life is annually sacrificed in the contest with those hydra-headed evils which are truly personified by the dragons of the legend. This opinion gains ground by every accession of contrabands brought in from other parts of the country, where the masters have had no opportunity of selecting. Many of the shrewd and intelligent have made use of their wit by escaping to our lines, and are now doing* good service in the Union cause, which will and no recorder in the present. But the historic pen will, in coming time, do justice to tne noble deeds and daring enterprises which they have accomplished. They, and they alone, in this heart of Rebeldom, hold the key that shall open all doors for our entroe.— For they know every inoh of ground, they know every mark of high or low tide, they know where the cotton is storod, where the oorn, rice, and sweet pototoes grow, where the enemy is weakest, and where the people are most ready for liberty, and not since the first hour of this fratricidal war has our Government done a better or wiser thing than to order them to be enlisted into the servico of the country of their birth. Black Slavery at the North is a different thing from white Slavery, and I beg to say to those who still lean to the side of the oppressor, that white Slavery is " Constitutional" in Georgia. Among the slaves brought from the ooast is a grandmother and a numerous family. The elder woman is tall, stately, and dignified. The blood of some proud race flushes her almost white face. Her daughters are both whiter than herself, and her grand ohildren are ! whiter still, and some of them very beautiful.AI-SO, SOLE AGENTS FOR B10WS ft SPBAGUE'S CELEBRATED PRACTICAL WATCHMAKERS NOBTHEASTEBH PENNSYLVANIA!

Hissing and spattering they fell into the water, until all the lead above was used, and then, with eager haste, Mrs. Watts plunged her hand into the now warm fluid, and drew some of the tibot therefrom. Examining them eagerly she had the inexpressible delight of seeing that eaoh and all wore fruitless—perfectly and entirely spherioal.

" Thus Bttith the Lerd, X Offer thee Three Things." 1 long to no sex bnt on the eternal principles of right and wrong, to witness the attention paid to this child of some freeman born into Slavery through the direful curse laid by the law upon its mother. j No doubt the father, whoever he may be, holds tip his hands in holy horror at the idea of legal amalgamation, reads his bible to find some semblanoe of tho old Jewish law, Wp rove it a "Divine institution,"! "and talks wisely and On the streets too" about the degradation and licentiousness of the negro race. The little white lamb among a colored flock was petted and patted, and even kissed ; for it was kept sweet and clean in pink and white. What a world of thought clustered about this one sweet child. Feniw. Legislature, Session of 1883. The Discovery of Shot-making. BUSINESS CABDS. MISCELLANEOUS. About seventy years ago there lived i* the oity of Boston, England, a Mr. William Watts, a plumber and glazier. To this occupation he added that of a shot-maker. At that time shot-making was but a partially developed art, and consisted in letting drops of melted lead fall into a vessel of water from a bight of but tWo or three feet, which caused the drops to suddenly cool in a rounded form. But as the metal did not thoroughly solidify before it reached the water, the sudden contact of it with the latter caused a slight indentation on the surface of every shot exactly at the point where it first touched the liquid* la fact, it destroyed or rather prevented, perfect sphericity—a slight imperfeotion to all appearance, but quite sufficient to prevent the little missiles from traveling in a straight line when sent from a gun.

Com 1 Mr. Watts was a bit of a sportsman himself, and seeing that with the shot as then made he could not secure a certain aim, he investigated the matter, and soon eom* to the conclusion that that imperfect sphericity was the cause of the shot tying wide of the mark. The fault ascertained, the question next was How to correct it. He racked his brain day and night, hoping to discover some method of making a perfectly round shot—many were the experiments he made, but all in vain, and he at last gave up the idea in dispair. Bet Mr. Watts had a wife who was not so easily beated, and she had s«t ber wits to work also. She was a remarkably qsiet, thoughtful woman, and took it into her need that, as there was a cure for almost pvery ill, so there might be a remedy for had shot. She was one of those who did'nt know what impossibilities meant. This idea having entered her mind, there it remained, and we all of us know that if a woman bets ber heart on accomplishing anything, accomplish it she will. Day after day she watched the process of shotmaking, as she sat by the water tank knitting away for dear life, but saying never a word, though eye, brain and fingers were not unemployed for a moment. Po matters went on for many months; Mr.Wattsbecame desponding!' his business fell off, and poverty stared him in the face. Rather than mako imperfect shot, he oared sot to mnkc any, and he must soon have gene to ruin had it not been for a dream. XVI—Lancaster—Wm. Hamilton, r; John A. Hiestand, r. XVII—York—A.

An English journal, after valuing the total product of tbe mines of Great Britain at £41,491,102 per annum, and computing that England's supply of soal will last at least seven hundred years longer, at present rates of consumption, gives the following account of tho depth to which the bowels of the earth have been pierced in England :— The depth to which we mine for coal is already great. The pit at Dunkenfield, in Cheshire, is 2004 feet beblow the surface to the point whore it intersects the " Black Mine Coal," a Beam that is four foet six inches thick, and of the best quality for domestic and manufacturing purposes; from this point s further depth of five hundred feet has been attained by means of an engine plane in the bed of coal, so that a great portion of the coal is raised from tbo enormous depth of 2504 feet. At Pendleton, near Manchester, coal is daily worked from the enormous depth of 2504 feet,and the coal of Wigan is brought from 1773 feet below the surface. Many of the Durham colleries are equally deep, and far more extended in their subterranean labyrinths. Some of those, and others in Cumberland, are worked out far under. the bed of the sea; and on both sides of the island we are rapidly extending our subterranean burrowing. Dolcoath tin mine, in Cornwall, is now working at one thousand eight hundred feet from the surface, and is rapidly sinking deeper. The depth of Tresvean, a copper mine, is 2180 feet. Many other tin and copper mines are approaohing these depths ; and under the atlantic waves, man is pursuing his labors daily at half a mile from the surfaoe. To aid the miner in these severe tasks, the gigantic steam engines, with cylinders 100 inches in diameter, are employed in pumping water from these vast depths. She is in receipt of the latest patterns for Ladies' Dresses anil Cloaks, and Children's Clothing and will avail herself of these advantages in serving her customers. Pittston, Oet. 3,1861. A. H.

Y., The Zachcons, who did climb tho tree Hi* dark skinned conqueror* to nee, One night Mr. Watts wag suddenly arronsed from comfortable slumber by a vigorous shake of his shoulder. Hubding his eyes, and " God blessing" himself, he sat bolt upright in bed, and perceived with peat surprise (for the moon was shining into the chamber) that his usually quiet wife was pacing the room, exclaiming, not " Eureka/' but something very much to the same effect: " I've found out how to do it;" and then she added: " Get up directly, William, I've made your fortune I" Mr. Watts was now thoroughly awake, and Mrs. Watts related her " vision of the night." She had dreamed (or rather thought in her sleep) that, if the drops of molten lead were allowed to fall through the air from a considerable hight, so as to get thoroughly hardened before they reached the wSfer, their perfectly spherical forms wouly not be damaged by the sudden contact therewith. The next moning Mr. and Mrs. Watts, in great secresy, tried the experiment. Opposite their house was a lofty old church tower—that of St Mary lledcliffe—and this tower was selected as the scene rf operations. The sexton was a neighbo*,— From him the key was borrowed, and by eight o'clock Mr. Watts was there with a charcoal brazier, some lead, and a bucket of water, and the shot card (or mold) as the implement was called, through which the melted lead was poured or strained to form drops. You may be sure they "locked themselves in. The stairoase of the tower was circular, so that a " well" was formed from the top to the bottom—-just the thing required. At the summit Mr. Watts fixed his " card," while at the bottom Mrs. Watts stood beside the pail of water, on the added contents of whioh, before long, so much might depend.

I have shaken hands till the strong grip of the emancipated, in the first enthusiasm of joy, made my very nerves quiver. For more than one old mother, who had escaped from the tyranny that had robbed her of half her household (and in one case of all) clasped my hand so tightly, as she cried, " Bress the Lord, missis." " Thank the good Lord, missis." "We neber 'spect to see this day, missis ; nebber, nebber, nebber." " We amost in heben now,missis." That I actually shrunk with pain. Oh ! what strength they have gathered from their hard toil in oane and cotton fields, for the white tyrant's work. But his day of power is past. The laborers on the Sea Islands seem a more oppressed and degraded class than those gathered upon the mainland plantations or the coast towns. It is said the flying Rebels took with them all the bright, sound, able ones, and left behind those who could not do much in helping them to nphold the rebellion, by maintaining and sustaining the only class, in these fertile regions, that cannot or will not sustain themselves.

BLACK, Winding machines, which are masterpieces of mechanical skill, are'ever at work raising the minerals from each dark abyss, and " man engines," of considerable ingenuit—so called because they bring the wearied miner to the light ot day, saving him from the toil of climbing on perpendicular ladders—are introduced in many of our most perfectly oondacted mines.— Our coal costs us annually one thousand lives, and more than double that number of our metalliferous miners perish from aocideuts in the mines, or at an unusually early ago—thirty-two—from diseases contracted by the conditions of their toils. By the industry of our mining population there is annually added to our national wealth considerably more than £30,000,- 000. This, when elaborated by the process of manufacture, is increased in value teo-fold. While we are thus drawing upon that " hoarded treasure, guarded by dragons white and red," which the enchanted Martin is fabled to have concealed in the eaves of the earth, we should remember how muoh of mental labor and muscular power is expend* 1, and how large a per centage of human life is annually sacrificed in the contest with those hydra-headed evils which are truly personified by the dragons of the legend. This opinion gains ground by every accession of contrabands brought in from other parts of the country, where the masters have had no opportunity of selecting. Many of the shrewd and intelligent have made use of their wit by escaping to our lines, and are now doing* good service in the Union cause, which will and no recorder in the present. But the historic pen will, in coming time, do justice to tne noble deeds and daring enterprises which they have accomplished. They, and they alone, in this heart of Rebeldom, hold the key that shall open all doors for our entroe.— For they know every inoh of ground, they know every mark of high or low tide, they know where the cotton is storod, where the oorn, rice, and sweet pototoes grow, where the enemy is weakest, and where the people are most ready for liberty, and not since the first hour of this fratricidal war has our Government done a better or wiser thing than to order them to be enlisted into the servico of the country of their birth. Black Slavery at the North is a different thing from white Slavery, and I beg to say to those who still lean to the side of the oppressor, that white Slavery is " Constitutional" in Georgia. Among the slaves brought from the ooast is a grandmother and a numerous family. The elder woman is tall, stately, and dignified. The blood of some proud race flushes her almost white face. Her daughters are both whiter than herself, and her grand ohildren are ! whiter still, and some of them very beautiful.AI-SO, SOLE AGENTS FOR B10WS ft SPBAGUE'S CELEBRATED PRACTICAL WATCHMAKERS NOBTHEASTEBH PENNSYLVANIA!
