A Bli- THING.-The cast stool and cannon factory of Crupp, tit Essen, Prussia, which has lately been .su fre? quently mentioned in connection with thc guns used by thc Prussians in their late wars, is one of the greatest industrial establishments in the world. It will bc interesting to read the fol? lowing statistics, winch arc taken from the J) nick Til'tetter, published tit Leipsic, Saxony. The whole estab? lishment comprises an area of about .175 acres, intersected by railroads of nearly thirteen miles in length, on which four locomotives and 150 cars are continually in motion. The build? ings alone cover a surface of 72~;: acres. As a matter of course, the es? tablishment has its own gas factory, as also its own bakery and eating house for unmarried workmen. In 1864, there were employed in the steel works 6,600 workmen, exclusive of those who worked in its coal mines and in the blast furnaces of Narrowin, which belonged to those works. There were then 350 furnaces in ac? tivity, for melting, heating and pud? dling work; also, 130 steam engines, averaging from four to 1,000 horse? power, thirty-four steam forges-thc hammers weighing from two to 30,000 centers, (110 pounds a center,) 110 blacksmith-shops, and 500 turning mills, and other machine shops. In 1864, thu factory produced the mon? strous mass of more than 51,000,000 pounds of ca?t steel, which left the establishment in the form of cannons, shafts, axle-trees, wheels, wheel boxes, springs, rails, boiler plates, rollers, ?cc, to be shipped in every direction, all over the world. In 1805, there were 8,000 workmen employed, and the production of cast steel reached the amount of 100,000,000 pounds. THE DANGERS OF INNOVATION.-Ex Senator Wall, of New Jersey, recently said, in a speech before thc Young Men's D?mocratie Club, of Boston : It is high time, if we intend to pre? serve our form of government, that "arther innovations and encroach ^nents were resisted. Political inno? vations originate just as a path is formed in the field. The first person who crosses the grass treads it down. Soon, when- , the footsteps are, the grass lias changed its color, the de? pressions are distinct. Not long af? terwards, bits and patches of the soil, where, very recently, thc grass was only flattened, are laid low. You see the naked earth, thc roots of the grass are dried, the grass itself is killed. It springs up no more; and then the bare places gradually extend, until the brown devours the intervening green between. By-and-by, thc bare worn places join one another, and all the grass between them is destroyed, and the continuous path is formed. Trecks enlarge the path on either side, and generally the hedges and fences are overthrown, and the tres? passers go in and out unrestrained. Remember, citizens! in this hour of innovation and encroachment upon your dearest, rights, and be warned in time, that it is first the trampled grass, then the beaten pathway, next the broken hedges and prostrate fintees, until despotism rides free and unrestrained. ->.-<>. Gov. WELLS, OF LOTISIANA, A DK I AT'LTKI:.-It appears from a recent response by the State Auditor of Louisiana, to a resolution of the Le? gislature, asking for information in relation to the matter, that Governor Janies Madison "Wells, of Louisiana, is a defaulter to the State as Tax Col? lector of the Parish of Rapides, in tho year 1810. The Auditor says: "I beg to say. that, according to the books of this office, he appears to be indebted to the State, as Tax Collect? or of the Parish of Rapides, for taxes of 1840, in the sum of 312,078. _ The penalty, under the law, for failing to settle within the time prescribed, being two per cent, per month upon the sum withheld, will amount to 820,072.02, which, added to the principal, makes his total indebted? ness ?38,750.02." The latest novelty is a hot skate, provided with a chamber for holding hot water and keeping the foot w arm. Our political affairs look squally, but not more so than they have look? ed since the surrender of C?en. Lei'. The radicals, it would seem, are nearly at the end of their row. Wc have more to fear from hasty and dis? affected persons in our midst than from the radicals themselves. As for military rule, wo have been under that full long enough to have become used to it. For one. we have never regarded the Union a Paradise since Lhe radicals usurped the reins of power, and are not anxious enough to get back into it to stultify ourselves beyond thc hope of ever regaining our self-respect, lt would be impos? sible, we think, to demoralize our former servan is more than they have been already, or for us to sailer se? verer heart crucifixions than wc have already endured. A good crop this year; lines of steamers established between every j important Southern port and Europe, to carry off our products and bring in ; foreign goods, in time to meet next j winter's trade, together with manu- I f?cturing companies organized in every municipality in the South, and railroads penetrating every section, will bring about reconstruction soon enough for all practical purposes. In the meantime, let us maintain our integrity, and be true to tho legacy left us by our fathers. Indeed, the clouds are dark, but not so dark as they were a twelvemonth ago. Hope on, hope ever. This is our motto. [ Bainbridge Argus. OXE METHOD OF DISFRANCHISEMENT. If rebels are to be disfranchised, says the National Intelligencer, there is but one method by which it eau be con? stitutionally accomplished, and that is by calling a national constitutional convention, and thus enacting the will of the people into the fundamen? tal law. The Constitution, as it stands, gives no suck authority to Congress. In undertaking to exer? cise it, that body is overstepping the bounds of its delegated powers, and assuming au authority to control the question of suffrage, which, bj- the express reservations of that instru? ment, belongs "to thc States respect? ively." Neither the House of Rep? resentatives, or the Senate, nor the Executive, nor the Supreme Court, nor all combined, eau declare who shall and who shall not vole. Nor even the whole body of the people, save in the method prescribed by the Constitution-by amending the or- ' ganie law. Ii, therefore, negroes are to be made voters, and white men, because rebels, are to be disfran? chised, let the deed be done by the people, in their high sovereign capa? city of a constitutional convention, and not by usurpation of power on the part of Congress.

MACH BITTERS was struggling imo no? tice against the prejudices which e very? thing new. however exe?, lient, is doomed to encounte r. To-day, it stands at the head of all the tonic and alterative preparations in exist? ence. Its celebrity has evoked many imi? tations, but no rivals. Physicians pro? nounce it the only safe stimulant that has ever been introduced into thc sick cham? ber. In tho hospitals e>f the army and navy, tho surgeons lind it the very bt:st tonic for convalescents, and report it as invaluable for sustaining the vigor of I troops on tho march, as a remedy for scurvy and all scorbutic affections, anti as ! the only specific f' ir sea-sickness. Califor? nia and Australia have emphatically en? dorsed it as tho Miner's Medicine par er ce?ence, and in Spanish America and all the tropical climates, it is considered the only reliable antidote to epidemic fever. There is no myste ry about the causes of its success. It is tho only stomachic and j alterative in which arc combined the grand requisites of a mild, pure and unvitiated vegetable stimulant, with the finest selec? tion of tonic, anti-bilious, anti-scorbutic, aperient and depurative herbs, plants, roots and barks that hav?: ever been inter? mixed in a medicinal preparation. It is also proper to state that the Fitters ar?' sold exclusively in glass, and never, under any circumstances, by the gallon or the' barrel. Impostors and imitators arc abroad, and the only safeguard tho public has against them is to see that the Bitters they buy bear the engraved label and note of hand of Messrs. Hostotter Je Smith, and tho Government stamp over the cork of the bottle. Feb '27 fC Tl?e Gravest Maladies OF rOUTH AX I) EARLY MANHOOD.
