A lead pencil is in itself a small affair, but consideredas a manufactured product, it rises into much importance. To start a first-class factory, with improved machinery and stock of | well-seasoned wood, requires a capital of about $100,000; ground, covered is abont half an acre, chieflyroccupied by drying houses for the stor? age of red cedar. The- Florida red cedar is mostly used in this country and in Europe? some '.'iben" wood, as the Germans call it, or English yew, is used in Germany?white pine is occasionally used for a common grade of a ] carpec tor's pencil! The lead" of the pencils is the well-known graphite or plumbago; the best of this is the natural, found in a pure state in masses large enough to cut iri.to strips. Of this there is but one mine up to the standard, which is in Asiat? ic Siberia, and pencils made from this graphite are all one grade, and pay here fifty cents per fross special, and thirty per cent, ad valorem uty. The Cumberland mines in England, were the first discovered, but are now exhaust? ed. "What was formerly refused in cutting the graphite is now ground, cleaned and refined, aud.then mixed with a fine clay. In mixing the clay and graphite, great care must be taken in selecting and cleaning the slay and getting the proper proportions; the mixture, with water, after being well kneaded, is placed in a large receiver and strongly com? pressed and forced out through a small groove at the bottom, in the shape of a thread of the thickness and style required?either square, octagon, or round. This thread, or lead wire is cut in bars of proper length (done by little girls,) and then straightened, dried at a moderate heat, and packed in air-tight cruci? bles and placed in the furnaces: the grade of the pencil depends upon the amount of heat it is exposed to, the amount of clay used in mix? ing, and Ihe quality of the plumbago. The coloring of the lead is by various pigments. The wood, after being thoroughly seasoned, is cut in thin strips and dried again, then cut into strips pencil length. These strips arc grooved by machinery, then carried on a belt to the glueing room, where the lead is glued in the groove, and then the other half of the pen? cil glued on. After being dried under pressure, they are sent to the turning room and rounded, squared, or made octagon, by a very ingenious little machine, which passes them ready for polishing or coloring?the former is done on lathes by boys, and the latter by a machine which holds the brush and turns the pencils fed to i t through a hopper. After the pencil is polished, it is cut the exact length by a circu? lar sa>v, and the end is cut smooth by a drop knife, the pencil resting on an iron bed. -The stamping is done by a hollow die, which is heated; the gold or silver foil is then laid on the pencil, which rests in an iron bed, and the die is then pressed on it by a screw lever. The pencils are then ready to go to the packing room, whence they rind their way to all parts of the civilized world at prices ranging from two to twenty dollars per gross.?American Ex change and Review. Jefferson Davis and the Con-federate Archives.?A correspondent of the Galveston News writes from New Orleans: .It has been published in the North that the Grant Government has come into possession of j documents of a startling character, and that | they are to see thewght, and arc expected to produce intense excitement. They are said to unfold a secret plan of the Confederate author? ities- t> burn Northern cities. Mr. Davis has ?poken of this to a friend. He wishes the pre? tended documents to be published. He is not afraid for any document to which he and his Cabinet gave their assent to be placed before the public. He says no such plan ever went from the executivo office, or from any officer in charge of a department of the Confederate Government; that if anything of the sort has beeu-.<liscovered it will prove to be a forgery, or to have emanated from parties having no connection with the Confederate Government. It mint be remembered that when Colonel Dahlgren and his command were captnred they had in their possession papers which showed the objects of their expedition?the capture of! Bichmond, the killing of Mr. Davis and his Cabinet, &c With these facts before him, Mr. Davis positively refused to sanction any retaliatory measures, and gave strict orders to have the party treated as prisoners of war. He always took high grouuu upon questions which touched npon the usages of civilized warfare. He urged the acceptance of these usages with the broadest and most liberal in? terpretation admissible. Ho never backed j down from that position during the war. buch , being the case, it is not credible that he could have approved a mode of warfare which recog? nized incendiarism as legitimate. Let the Grant men produce the documents. Let the world see them, and they will prove to be for? geries or the absurd plans of Radicals, fools, or cowards. It is rather late for the man who can wield the sword, the drumhead court-mar? tial, and other inventions known to tyrants, to attempt to raise another storm of indignation and bitter sectional feeling, and thus to secure nis re-election. ? The following note, written to her school? mate by a girl who had been absent several days, illustrates the sweet simplicity of child? hood: "Dear Susie?I Shan't attend school " again until I Get some new cufls, collars and Jewelry?dear Mama agrees with me that it is my Dooty to take the shine out :>f that Upstart Mamy Jones and I'll do it if I never learn nothing.1' ? "Mama," said a little boy who had been sent to dry a towel before the iire, "is it douo when it's brown ?" ? The salt business of Michigan is falling off; this will not interfere with the Grant Salt River explorations next fall, however. j A Model Carpet-Bagger. We believe that it is generally conceded that Gov. Scott is a rascal, and that, in affiliation with other rascals, he and his confreres, black and white, have burthened South Carolina with an enormous debt, impoverished the people and enriched themselves. There was a time, and that not long ago, when Governor Scott contemplated following the example of Bul? lock of Georgia. He made his preparations for quitting the State ; but receiving the assu? rances of support from Washington, he con? cluded to remain and brazen it out. The sharp trick by which he defeated the impeachment at the last session of the Legislature cannot be forgotten; neither could it be very successfully tried over again. It is now probable that he will give way at the next election to a succes? sor, there being already half a dozen gubernato? rial candidates in the field. This man, twelve or fifteen years ago, drifted from somewhere into "the little one-horse town of Florida," Henry county, Ohio, where he set up for a Doctor. He was a quack of the first water. He had never graduated?never at? tended medical lectures. But in that primitive region he managed to pick up a small practice, and if any of his patients died under his empi? rical hands, so much the worse for the patients. During this time, says a recent biographer, "he was a candidate for Justice of the Peace, but was beaten in his township where his party had a majority." He subsequently?such was the ambitious nature of this quack?ran for Coun? ty Treasurer, and was beaten again. He next went into the dry goods trade in "the little one-horse town," and afterwards at Napoleon, in the same county, where he presently became bankrupt, failing so utterly that his creditors Sot nothing. The breaking out of the war oated him, as a flood floats all sorts of drift wood. He was pretentious and plausible, man? aged to get a lieutenant-colonelcy, got to be brigadier general, and when the war closed, was appointed through the congenial auspices of Impeacher Ashley, of Holt and Conover no? toriety?to take charge of the Freedman's Bu? reau at Charleston, 8. C, and in 1868 the ne? groes elected him Governor of that Siate. Since then, like his associate, Niles G. Parker, he has been busily engaged in improving his opportu? nities. He is now reputed to be worth a million of dollars; has bought, since he became Gov? ernor, a large amount of real estate in Henry county, Ohio, and in the adjacent counties; is part owner- of thousands of acres of land in Northern 3\?chigan, and is now building for himself a fine brick mansion at Napoleon, Ohio, where his family continuo to reside for six months of the year. He has also "other valuable property in the town, including a tav? ern stand." Finally, "he drinks whiskey and gambles largelv for money." Such is the his? tory of the model carpet-bagger of South Caro? lina.?Baltimore Gazette. Validity of Debts Incurred for Sale of Slaves.?The Supreme Court of the Uni? ted States decided at the last session, in the cases of White vs. Hart and Osborne vs. Nich? olson, that notes given for the purchase of slaves could still be enforced. Chief Justice Chase has directed a dissent to be entered for him from such a judgment, on the grounds: 1. That contracts for the purchase and sale of slaves were and are against sound morals and natural Justice, and without support, ex? cept in positive law. 2. That the laws of tho several States by which alone slavery and slave contracts could be supported, were annulled by the Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution, which abol? ished slavery. 3. That thenceforward the common law of all the States was restored to its original princi? ples of liberty, justice and right, in conformity with which some of the highest courts of the late slave States, notably %that of Louisiana, have decided, and all raigh*t on the same prin? ciple decide slave contracts to be invalid, as inconsistent with their jurisprudence, and this court has properly refused to interfere with those decisions. 4. That the clausein the Fourteenth Amend? ment of tho Constitution which forbids com? pensation for slaves emancipated by the Thir? teenth can be vindicated only on these princi? ples. 5. That clauses in State Constitutions, Acts of State Legislatures, and decisions of State Courts, warranted by the Thirteenth and Four? teenth Amendments, cannot be held void as in violation of the original Constitution, which forbids the States to pass any law violating the obligation of contracts. Applying the Platform.?Hon. John B. Baldwin, of Augusta County, Va., in his speech in the Convention at Richmond, gave an amus? ing illustration of the way in which he applied the Cincinnati platform and Mr. Greeley's his? tory, to answer the objections of those who are opposed to his acceptance by the Southern people. Mr. Baldwin said he had lately been in New York and had met there several. of that class of gentlemen, one of whom had approached him with a very determined resolution to per? suade him to drop the Chappaqua farmer by some means or other. "How can you Southern men support Gree ley ?" said this anxious patriot. "Don't you remember what he has written and said about you years ago ?" "Ah well," said Mr. Baldwin, "we have granted him a general amnesty for that." "But," continued he, "you must remember his course during the war. It is impossible you can support him after that." "So it would be, but we have removed his disabilities." "But, ray dear sir, he cannot possibly be elec? ted, and you are putting yourself in a bad po? sition by supporting a man who will surely be beaten." "Well, we don't know how that may turn out," wound up Mr. Baldwin, "but anyhow toe have gone on hti bond." Singular Variety of Cotton.?Dr. T. L. Anderson, of Wilkes County, has developed, by cultivation and careful selection of seed, a variety of cotton which is certainly a curiosity, and may prove a very valuable variety. This cotton is peculiar on account of its excessive fruitfulness and the manner in which the bolls arc developed. As described by the Washing? ton Gazette, in growth and appearance the weed has the resemblance of the prolific vari? eties, growing up in a somewhat conical form, though we think the growth is more vigorous than these varieties. The squares and blooms grow in clusters; and very thick. A very large Sroportion of the bolls are what we would call oublc, for want of a better word?that is, two bolls are produced from the same square. This tendency to doubling is exhibited throughout the plant, and the stalk and limbs of many specimens seem to take on the same character? istic, there being a groove on each side, present? ing somewhat the appearance of a doublc-bar re red gun. This crowding of the bolls docs not seem to diminish their size, but they are fcncrally very large and healthy in appearance. Ipon one stalk in his field .Mr. A. exhibits fifteen young bolls so closely clustered as to be covered with a single open hand. He has ta? ken great paius during the past two or three years to preserve the seed pure and unmixed with other varieties. He has now several acres planted in this cotton, and we wish that his experiment may be of value to himself and the cotton interests of tho country.?Augusta Chronicle. ? A nice young girl at Green Bay, Wiscon? sin, was being courted by a nice young man. He was generously inclined, and made her pres? ents of hair oil, which he purchased from the store of the father of his adored. After giving her some twenty bottles of the oleaginous fluid, lie found that he was working in a circle?as fast as he presented them ?110 returned them to the store, thus dutifully making trade fur her father.

Resolved, That the particular site for the buildings be left for further consideration and decision. Resolved, That this location is made upon the condition that at least three hundred thou? sand dollars be raised in Louisville and the State at large. Resolved, That the Board will, as soon as practicable after the raising of this amount from Kentucky, proceed to raise the further amount elsewhere of two hundred thousand dollars. Resolved, That the Executive Committee of the Board be requested to send the Treasurer, as agent, into Kentucky by the first of October, if possible, that he may canvass the State vig? orously, so that the sum offered in Kentucky may be raised by the first of May, 1873. Resolved, That Brethren Burrows, Henderson and Pritchard be appointed a sub-committee to prepare and present to the Board, at the annu? al meeting in Mobile in May next, a report of the circumstances and causes which have led the committee to the conclusions that have been reached. The New Postal Arrangement.?By the new postal law, which came into operation on the 1st of July, a great benefit has been con? ferred upon the geueral public. According to the new regulation, packages of dry goods, hardware, drugs (except liquid drugs) and other merchandise not exceeding twelve ounces in weight can be mailed to any part of the United States at a charge of two cents for each two ounces or fraction of two ounces. Much time and money will bo saved by this arrange? ment. The post office authorities will forward a twelve ounce package to San Francisco for twelve cents. For instance, a pair of boots, if neither boot weighs more than tho specified twelve ounces, may be wrapped up in two sep? arate parcels, and sent across the continent for twenty-four cents. Up to the present time, it is said, the post office ha3 lost money by the new system, simply owing to the fact that the general public has not taken advantajjo of it to such an extent as will make it rcmuncratirc. But it is confidently expected that when the advantages of the system arc thoroughly ap j predated, the scheme will prove as profitable j to the Government as it is beneficial to the public. It is, in fact, nothing more nor less I than an adaptation of the English parcel post, 1 and although the charges in England are some ' what less than the rate adopted here, yet, when it is remembered that the distances are as noth I ing when compared with those in this country, it will be seen that there is no cause for dissat? isfaction. Anecdote of General Lee.?Not many anecdotes are extant illustrative of the humor and wit of the late General Robert E. Lee, for tho sufficient good reason that the General wore a gravity and severity of manner toward all but his most intimate friends inconsistent with the sallies which at odd times, however, he mado in the happiest style. At the close of the first session ot Washington College, after Gen. Leo had become President of that institu? tion, (in the Chapel of which ho is now buried,) about sixteen young gentlemen, all from the South, were graduated with full colle? giate honors, and delivered public addresses on Commencement Day. The General, with the rest of the Faculty, occupied seats on the stand, and the youthful orators, naturally am? bitious of shining as much as possible on such an occasion and in the eyes of the Confederate chieftain, sprinkled their speeches with an unusually large quantity of rhetorical gems and flowers; in particular alluding very fre? quently and pointedly to the General in lofty terms of eulogium, which above all things in the world he disliked. As one after another emptied himself of his glittering language, tho impatience of General Lee obviously increased. Presently, while the band was performing, he leaned toward Col. Wm. Allen, one of the Pro? fessors, and enquired, in his peculiar slow, modulated tone: "Col. Allen, how many more of them are to speak?" "Only four more, General," replied Col. Allen. General Lee hitched his chair a little closer, and with all the solemnity, asked, "Couldn't you arrange it, Colonel, for all four to speak at once f ? In New Hampshire the following is pos? ted on a fence : "Nottis?know kow is alloud in these medderH, eny men or women letten tharc kows run the rode wot gits inter my mcd ders aforesoed shall have his tail cut orf by me. Obadiah Rogers." ? "Where was Bishop Latimer burned to death?" asked a teacher in a commanding voice. "Joshua knows,'' said a little girl at tho bottom of the class. "Well," said the teacher, "if Joshua knows he may tell." "In the fire," replied Joshua, looking very grave and wise. All Sorts of Paragraphs. -| ?

"How wonderful," exclaims some un? known philosopher, "are the laws governing human existence! Were it not for tight-lacing all civilized countries would be overrun with women." ?

Somebody has asserted that the progeny of a house-fly during a single season amounts to 2,080,320 individuals. To test this would be easy.

A printer, having been "thing" by his sweetheart, tried to commit suicide. The "devil" found him out and took him to the sauctum where the editor was writing duns to deliuqucnt subscribers. The picture of de? spair presented by the editor reconciled the printer to his fate. He began to consider him? self as comparatively happy. ? A Fairficld man, who failed to get a thir? ty-cent pineapple fur a quarter of a dollar, wanted to know "whether we were breathing the pure air of freedom or being strangled with the fetid breath of a hellish despotism."

A boy in Kockport, who had just come into possession of his first shot-gun, amused himself by banging away at his lather, who was greasing harness on the wood pile.

Some parents can nev? er let a boy have any fun. ? The editor of the Ncwbcrry Herald is getting jubilant.

Let Grceley bo elected, and peace, harmony and prosperity will fill and crown every city, town, village and hamlet, from the Atlautic to the Pacific, and from Maine to Mexico. VLv.r.v up the Family Attachment.?One of the saddest things about a large family who have lived happily together for years under the old roof-tree, is the scattering of distant homes, .which takes place as they grow up, one by one, to years of maturity. It is often the case that in "the cares and bustle of business, letters grow more and more infrequent, and finally brothers and sisters will sometimes entirely lose sight of each other. These kindred ties arc much too sacred to be thus lightly severed. It takes such a little while to write a letter, and the expense is so trilling, there can hardly be an excuse for the neglect. Sons in particular, away from home, are apt to grow very neglectful of letter-writing. Oh, if they knew how many heartaches such neg? lect often causes to the loving breast that pil? lowed their tired heads in childhood, they would not be so thoughtless. If they knew the joy that a letter brought, and could see how its lightest words were dwelt over and talked over by the fireside, they would not be so sparing of their messages.

By the act of June 6, 1S72, all stamp tax? es on instruments in writing arc repealed from October 1, 1S72, except the two cent stamp on checks.
