THE BATH FABER MILLS. A Sketch of their History and Present Condition. Mr. Randall, the editor of the Augusta Con? stitutionalist, baa been inspecting that excel? lent and prosperous establishment, the Bath Paper Mills, and thus dots down his impreti? mons of the enterprise and its energetic and capable head : Very few pereonB, perhaps, have a thorough knowledge of the modus operandi of paper manufacture, which is so indispensable to the fortunes of the press. A recent visit to tbe Bath Mile, in South Carolina, baa introduced ns intimately to ibis branch of art, jud we ?hall endeavor, briefly, to elucidate some of its j mIet"?eil known to many of our readers, the Bath Paper Mille are situated on Horse Creek, lust seven mile* from Augusta. They were first inetituted in 1851, and, after passing through many vicissitudes of finance and fire finally parsed, by public auction, into the hands of the present company, principally res? idente of Geor ia and South Carolina, At the reorganization of the company, in I860, every? thing appertaining to these mills was io a very unpromising condition. At this juncture, Major Wm. Craig was elected president, and. witn bis usual vim, immediately went to work to evoke order ont of chaos. The result of bis labore ie striking!* manifested in 1870. Much money has been spent and much care lavish? ed, but neither vainly nor without ample com? pensation. . ,. We understand that four new turbin water wheels, of the most excellent pattern, have been put in operation, insuring a motive pow? er equal to all emergencies. A new paper ma? chine, with all the modern improvements, has bkewise been introduced. A peculiarity ol this machine ie its "speed gear," a contrivance hy which the movement can be regulated or changed fo six different rales, enabling the operator to make thick or thin paper as the nf cessity of the case requires. Book, news, M?wlla and common wrapping raper ?re DOW manufarfpreu, Ins machmery for this manufacture may be thus g?n?ra.!;' cliseifl?d ; Two paner machines, eight beater -*afcd washer engines*, two large rotary boilers, rag and rope cutters, dusters, thrashers, wet and dry devils, 4c, 4?. Bags, of all kinds ancLvarieties, save woollen, are the bases of paper manufacture; and so it mtv be said that tbe poor vagrants who are daily seen picking up odds and ends tbrougii the streets are very important adjuncts to tne possibilities of the printing press, editors and newsmongers. Alter the rags are gathered in great quantities at the mill, tfleyare taken into a-room set apart for the purpose and careful? ly sorted.. We caniot nay that this is a pleas? ant part of the buaines*. and we are far from recommending the odom of the apartment. Still, the persor-s employed at this task seem? ed very well eatisPcd. and. we dare eay, have no olfactories tc speak of, or else Buch as are adapted providentially to this particular Job. After being assorted, the tags are taken to tbe cutting room and hackt d to pieces by ma? chinery, and by macbinery they aie altcrward .Unsted." The stock is then weighed in crates and put Into two enormous rotary boilers, which hold from 2500 to 5000 pounds each. When filled, a solution of lime, caustic soda, soda ash, 4c., is ponred upon them. Then they are cooked with steam for several hours. It is literally a zag soup, not very tempting to the epicure, but absolutely neces? sary for the design of finally preadiog intel? ligence before the public concerning the Fran co-Germanio war, Ac. Fierce steaming causes the centralization of grease and softens the colora of the rags. Having been sufficiently cooked, the mass ia then emptied and put into the "washer,"' where revolving cylinders cover? ed with wire aro so constructed that the ditty water is lifted and emptied out as fast as the clean element comes in. When the washing is done there ?B an application made of chloride of lime, alum or acid. This chemical applica? tion bleaches the stock, and, if lags had moth? ers, the mothers, after the bleaching process, would not recognize (heir own offspring. Every partiale of the filth uf the original article ia ?Uminated, and there remains a material \ erv mach resembling the finest bakers' donga. This bleached material is then emptied into vats, where it is allowed to drain off. Wheo drained, it ?B called "half stuff" and put into heater engines, which, without exaggeration, "chaw it np" into a pulpy sut etance of the appearance and consistency of 'be best boiled hominy or mash. ? When prop? erly reduced, it is conducted to a'large vat cr "stofTchesl," sod from thence pumped on to the paper machine. Wheo running into the trough which feeds the "news" paper machino it has the appearance of milk. Proceeding gradually a little farther, this milty deposit is .subject to considerable agitation which makes it about as thick as rich cieam. Thia is the first formation of paper, as a thick felt, 1 evolv? ing on alargo cylinder, receives the impress and transmits it, with constantly increasing fibre, to other cylinders, which, being heated hy steam, dry the material until it poors out from the calendar rollers, reels aud cutter, im? maculate charts readv, when neatly bundled, to he put upon the cars of the South Carolina Ballway for transmission abroad. Eveu from this verv harnetl and impeifcct sketch, the reader will understand that paper making involves a large outlay of capital, con? stant vigilance, and much skill and enterprise, lt is evide-nt that Major Craig has bis fores well in hand, and isa perfect Von Moltke in his etrategy, since everything ie done to insure ti.e welfare of the company and tho cotutort of the pereona employed at the mills. THE FRENCH IN BERLIN. How they were Received by the People The Boy? ask the Tarcos for their Cats-The Ladled Talking French and Arabic to the Prisoners-How thc Battle was Lost. [Correspondence of the London Sews.] When the train with the prisoners got in, there were about five thousand people Inside the terminus lining the rails; a great number of "gamins" or "street boys," as they are called here, among them. A tremeudous but merry and good-natured yell received the red trousers of the French Infantry and the blue costume of the Turcos. Ia each carriage there was one Prussian private of either of the two regiments who ?stormed the Geissberg (goat's hill) at Weiasenburg, his helmet adorned with green boughs. The French were partly squat? ting, but their guides invited them to stand up to show their respect for the people of the capital. While they were slowly passing be? fore me, I examined the expression of their couateuauces. It was mostly that ot a shy curiosity, aud of embarrassmeut uot unmixed with pride. Of course they could not under? stand what the people, in an enormous confu? sion ol voices, said to them, but the unspeaka? bly comical griu of the street boys, sitting on the shoulders of each other, at all erects gave them a hint of it. At last one successful cry got the upper hand, for which somebody had furnished the boys with the accessary French, and which I^J?*8*** every Turco or Zouave after ^!t^u.rK0fLeslam^0,ls- Le* chats! les chats ! \\ here are the tom-cats ? had become the lav?me refrain of the juvenile voiceT it was easily observable that, with the boys the French, far from being considered as haughty and humiliated enemies, were extremelv%y,l ular. In a few minutes the boundless hilarirv of the lads commuueated itself to the French themselves, their officers excepted, who hid themselves lu the interior ol' their first-class railway carriage. I left the young ladles hand? ing in refreshing drink to the tawny fellows of Southern France and of the Atlas", and made my cab follow the track ol the circular railway, over which the train was to proceed to the Eastern line. This circular railway, oa a level with the road, has la process of time beeu liaed with houses, aud is. in fact, now a street railway. Dense masses ol people stood all along it. AI last I was overtakeu by the train, aud let 1 pass. But how had its aspect chaoged ! It looked as aever railway train had looked be? fore. That Iraterolzatiou ol the prisoners with the boys had become perfect; numbers of 'hem had crept into the carriages, and were sitting between the legs of the French and the Afin? can?, wearing their caps. Several had pro? vided themselves with cats. Those that could not get into the crowded carriages had climbed on the top of them, where they amused them? selves by Btandlng on their heads and brand? ishing their legs. There were no stairs, no protruding boards, that boys were not SMW upon. Seen from a distance, the train looked like a Buddhist idol, with thousands of legs and thousands of arms protruding lo incon? ceivable directions. , There was a young, tall. Heany, beardless \rab, with a fair skin, and extremely hand sor*? face, who excited general attention be cause be looked altogether like a woman. The people, in fact, imagined that he really was a woman, <?nd the ladles had presented him with a fan, with which he kept fanning himself and smilirg in the most arch and coquettish way, being evidently accustomed to have his fun with the public. I reached the terminus of the Eastern Railway by a short cut before the train, but could get In with great difficulty, owing to the Immense crowds by which lt was surrounded. The densely-peopled neighbor? hood, the seat of the Berlin shawl manuf'ac ture, had poured forth still greater masses Ulan were visible at the west of the town. Here the attempt to admit by ticket only had perfectly broken down. I dare say that there were not less than 50,000 people inside the terminus. Even the huge supper place for the prisoners was filled to the brim, thus ren? dering their passage to their seats extremely ^^he'neatest efforts made by th>? police were of no avail; only the persuasive powers ol the .'secular'' ladies who presided hew made the crowd vield. The prisoners got each a large basin of boutelon au riz. more than a quarter of a pound of boiled beef, bread and cheese, a pint of beer and a cigar, everything-I tasted them myself-of the very best quality. As eight hundred had been expected: Instead of five hundred, the strongest appetite could be satisfied. Supper finished, the ladies present? ed correspondence cards to the prisoners to write to their friends, with a promise that they should be safely forwarded either to the French headquarters or directly from Brus? sels. A greater number of the French than was expected could write; for those that could not the others acted. It rendered the French extremely at their ease to be waited upon by so many pretty and elegant girls, who ali flu? ently spoke French. When tine ladies came to a Turco, they saluted him partly with "Salem aleikumi" and the astonished reply. uAlci kum salem," was given with the hand on the heart. The German soldiers who accompanied the Erisoners were enthusiastic with regard to the raverv with which the French had lought, after tfie Gelssberg had been stormed. They gointed out fourteen men. belonging to the eventy-lonrth Regiment of the line, wno were the whole remainder of the regiment left standing on the battle-field, but who refused to surrender, and who, deprived ot ammunition, kept on fighting at the point of the bayonet. As the Prussians did not like to kill them, they rushed at last in a body upon them, and threw them down wrestling. "Xous ai'?m cherch? ta mort,'' said one of them to me. licomme n?? tre colonel, comme notre g?n?ral, dont voil? ie duval." The train had brought the horse of General Douay. "Ask him," said a Prussian private, "why he thinks they were overpowered." That was a sagacious question, and the reply af the intelligent and well-bred Frenchman told the tale of the whole war. It was, "Wi were too weak in number; we had (cn an ad vanced post) neither cavalry nor sufficient ar tillery with us, and finally we had no more ammunition/' "That ls the thing," said the Prussian; "ask him how many cartridges he had got." "Eighty." was the Frenchman's reply. "Now tell him that I, who had onlv sixtv had forty-five lett when I took him; and tell him that the strength of an army consists ol men and of cartridges, and that firing away eighty cartridges is Just the same as losing ? man. They did very serious damage to us at the beginning-our regiment lost COO men; bul at the expense or such a number of shots that 1 we knew they were more weakened than we < were." t When this was explained to the Frenchman \ he said: "I knew it loo. but too late. We never bet?re fought against such troops as yours. We must no longer skirmish as wc have been accustomed to." Most of the prisoners were tnkon. as skir? mishers, in a cave which lormed their cover, and where they were cut off by the rapid and continuous advance ol the Prussians. TRIAL OF A PRUSSIAN SPY IX BARIS A special dispatch to the New York Tinv.-s. dated Paris, August 22, says : . I have just returned from a most painful spectacle-the first trial by court-martini here of the Prussian spy recently arrested. The trial was held m a building situated opposite the military prison, in the Rue Cherche, Midi Faubourg St. Germain, and was conducted be? fore the Second Council of War. M. Simou net, the Imperial Advocate, prosecuted. At 12 o'clock the prisoner was escorted by gensdarmes and soldiers, and introduced be? fore the court, which was composed ol' seven officers belonging to different branches of the service. In reply to questions from the presi? dent, the prisoner stated that his name was Karl Herdo, and that he was a native of Brandebourg, and a lieutenant in the Fifty fourth Regiment,-lorming a portion of tile Third Prussian Corps d'Armee. The prisoner ls a tall, handsome youngman; small In frame, but of an intelligent appearance. He spoke French fluently, with a slight German accent. He is a man evidently belonging to the higher class of society, and Justified the president's allusion to his distinguished manners. He preserved throughout the proceedings the self possession which he has manifested since bis arrest. The prosecution produced no witnesses, the only evidence against the prisoner being the reports sent np by authorities or (lien, a small town on the banks ol' the Loire, where he was captured. In the act of taking notes and draw? ings. A revolver, a quantity ol' cartridges, a portfolio, a railway indicator, a carte de visite and a portemonnale were found upon the prisoner when he was arrested. The principal documents from the military authorities report that the prisoner acknowledged to the Com? missary of Police of Glen, wno arrested him, that he had sent two letters to Berlin, describ? ing the state ol public 1'eellDg In France, and giving data ot the conformation of the bank of the Loire, and the peculiarities of the road leading from Bourges to Paris. The Police Com? missary reported the prisoner as possessing a minute knowledge of the country, and the relative strength of both armies. He had formed a calculation with regard to the strength of the French arrav, fixing the num? ber ot men at 288,000, and'boasted that the Prussian army was nearly 900,000 strong. He also admitted that the French army was lite? rally infested with Pmssian spies. " On being subsequently interrogated by the Sub-Prelect of Glen, the prisoner almost acknowledged himsetfaspy. Hecameirom London to Bor? deaux, and irom Bordeaux to Orleans, and so to Glen, where he coniessed that he lind no real business. A letter from the commandant of the Gen? darmerie to his superior officer stated that the prisoner openly admitted that he was a spy sent by the Prussian Government, and that he had dispatched information by Switzerland ana Belgium. He had also a correspondent In Paris. In the course of his examination bv the president to-day, he denied all the above coutesslons, and declared that he was not engaged in any correspondence with the enemies of France, and that he onlv visited France on his war to establish hlmselt in Swit? zerland. He further alleged that he had quitted the Prussian service four weeks before the declaration of war, and that all the letters he had wrltteu were familiar ones, addressed to his family-such as touristsordlnarilv write. He explained his presence at Gien ns* arising from the fact that monev was due to him there. Dpon hearing this statement, the Imperial Commissary called for a sentence of guilty from the court, stating that it was time to rid France of spies by whom the enemy had been put into possession of facts highly important in the prosecution of the war. A young advo? cate defended the prisoner, affirming that he was simply a hot-brained enthusiast'" who. in correspondence with his family, had given de? tails regarding the route of tlie annies, anti a inscription ot the river, already well known to the Prussian authorities. After ten minutes' deliberation the tribunal agreed unanimously on the prisoner's culpa? bility, and adjudged him to be visited with the punishment ?f death. The trial was over in less than two hours, and the prisoniv will probably be shot on Wednesday. Some days ago. says the London Echo. Mar? shal Bazaine had gathered together at his din? ner table, at Metz, the members of his lamilv, ot whom several ars In the army. They were waited upon by a servant ot remarkable good M$Tai? r ma,Bn<;r: good, indeed, that the Marshal s wile was str ick with it, and expressed her astonishment on leaving the table. The Marshal at first laughed at his wifes remarks, assuring het that the servant was not a grand seigneur in cisgui8e,but a valet de chambre. Nevertheless, the Marshal's wife insisted so strongly that the handsome lookinc servant was arrested. He turned out to be a Prussian officer. COMMERCIAL If JEWS. dporu.
