From the Baltimore Patriot. New Invention in Tanning. Mr. S. B. Ilowd, of the State of New York, has made a discovery in the art of tanning, which may become ..highly important to those engaged in that useful branch of industry. Its advantages are said to consist in the small space of time required to complete the process, the diminution in the amount of requisite labor, and the improv
ed quality of the leather. We have been furnished with the following; description of his apparatus, and the manner in which he has applied it to use: "Heconstructed a cylindrical vat, air tight, with a pipe for the purpose of filling it, inserted at the upper side and leading to a reservoir below; the pipe being closed by a cock near the inserted end. At the lower side another cock is inserted as a discharger On the upper side is fitted a small vent cock for the admission of air at the time of discharging. On the upper side is an orifice or man-hole with a stop-plafe at which the skins are put in and taken out. And at one end on the upper side, an air-pump is adapted, with a cock beiow the lower valve, for the purpose of exhausting the air from within the vat." Having thus arranged his apparatus he suspended within the vat, some skins prepared in the ordinary way, shut down the stop-plate, closed the proper cocks, and worked the pumps until he produced as near as possible a vacuum. This partial vacuum was kept uo one hour when the cold hemlock liquor from
the cellar below was admitted into the vat and suffered to remain ten minutes, It., was then discharged and the vat exhausted of air and kept so for another hour. The liquor was again applied and suffered to remain another ten minutes, and thus repeated alternately until the liquor had been applied to the skins 6 times, 10 minutes each; when a piece of calfskin of ordinary thickness was taken out, dried and curried, and by good judges was pronounced to be a first, and unequalled quality of leather. Other experiments were tried by which thicker and heavier pieces of skin were tanned by the same process having the liquor applied to them from 12 to 18 times of 10 minutes each, and when curried were declared by experienced shoemakers and tanners to be handsome, si rouge r and more flexible than if tanned by the old slow process. Ky the first experiment the whole time occupied in tanning a piece -of leather was only twelve
hour--, and by others, only 21 and ou hours. The apparatus-' is represented as not being complicated or expensive consisting mainly of an air-tight vat, which any joiner can construct, and an air pump of the most, simple description. ; . New Invention fou Navigating the Ocean. J. .' A.-Etzler, a native of Germany, and now a citizen of the United States, has made, an invention which is confidently expected to supercede steam in navigating the ocean. The advantages consist in a new plan of sails, which will secure the whole power of the wind, and can be far easier managed than the present sails, and in applying the force of the waves as a propelling power. A company with sufficient mpans was immediately formed in Philadelphia to secure the patent rights in the principal States of Europe, and one of the partners, as asent for the company, will leave for England in a few days. We shall give to our readers the particulars of this invention so soon as the necessary arrangements for securing the patents are effected, being personally acquainted with one of the principal proprietors.

val at the wharf on Thursday, with a view of conducting him to the prison; notwithstanding it was generally known that his return was not objectionable to the government, and that it had been recently discovered that the state of his accounts have been grossly misrepresented by others with the view, as is alleged, of covering up their Own frauds." The leading men at the South during the revolution
and siri'jfc, have been, with few exceptions, of weal
thy families, or at least of families in good circiim
staiicejand of the first jrankjn their respective States; While the leading men of the North have
sprung up almost universally, from the poorer classes in society. The consequence of this material difference is, that the Southern statesman is destitute for the most part, of those practical views of men and
things, and that intimate knowledge of the wants of
all classes of society, for which the Northern statesman, when younir, mostnenerally has to contend with
the. res anrustcc domi the narrow circumstances of
his family to make one dollar do the duty of two -to practice economy even if he does not preach it.-r The Southern statesman on the contrary has been all his life accustomed to have his wants anticipated by obedient slaves; and to enjoy life in the most agrceable manner. John Adams was the son of a poor shoemaker. Thomas Jefferson was one of the colo
nial nobility of Virgiaia, and the heir of thousands of
acres, and hundreds of negroes. Franklin was a printer and the son of a tallow-chandler. Madison was the son of a bishop, and heir to a fortune. Whipple was a sailor, Hopkins a surveyor, Sherman a shoemaker, but many other leaders of the revolution at the South were almost to a man, of the very highest rank in society. Men of splendid fortunes, educated at Oxford or Cambridge, associated in their youth with the sons of the linglish nobility, and in their tastes and dispositions, essentially aristocratic. Such were Pickney, Rutledge. Harrison, Randolph, Pendleton, and other great patriots at the South. And so at the present day, Webster is the son of a poor New Hampshire farmer, and is stigmatized as an aristocrat. Hayne was descended from one of the most aristocratic families in South Carolina, and was lauded as a democrat. Burgess was a cooper, Eiving a salt boiler, Corwin a wagoner. While Caihoun, Paves, Preston, Berrien, Wise and Stanley, are all men of what are called good families, and of the highest standing in their respective counties. Troy 117;:;.
of their times, have been held up as spotless patriots, have, nevertheless, appeared on the historian's page, when truth has triumphed over delusion, the assassins of Liberty. Why, then, can the noble Lord think 1 am ambitious of present popularity, that echo of folly and shadow of renown?"

A Dismissed Ci.titx. An individual of the name of V. W. Curran, has been recently dismissed from the Land Office at -'Washington, -.where he had been employed as clerk. He has published in the Globe
a vcrv" lenuhv communication, upon the subject of
bis dismissal, and endeavors to show -that be experi enced unjust treatment, and that the cabinet had vio
lated the'principle which, he says, they are pledged to
be eoverned bv in making removals. Our own opiu
ion is that Mr. Curran shows a considerable decree of
hardihood, when he claims a continuance in office, af
ter acknowledging that he had been a reporter for the
Globe, a member and even secretary of the Van rJuren
political association, and a pntronizer of the Extra Globe. These facts ought to justify the removal of
anv officer uuder the Government, Mr. Huntington

Information has been received at. the Department
of War from the iadefatigable Col. Worth,, commanding the Army in Florida, of a very favorable char acter.
It appears that, by means of Co-a-coo-che. ("Wild
Cat,) a celebrated Chief, and for some time prisoner
of war at Tampa Ba, sixty nf his uncapturea band
were approaching that place the JUth ultimo, (July,) to be emigrated with their Chief, and it was known that the remainder were gathering to follow. A break had also been made into Sam Jones's band, seventeen of whom were received at Tampa the 19th. Besides the parties which scoured the borders of the Ochlawuha, the Withlacoochee, and the smaller streams which empty into the Gulf, about the beginning of July, and which destroyed many plantations of corn and villages, and made some prisoners, ether detachments have since been put in motion, and made to penetrate the most secret haunts of the Indians with equal good effect. Again, an important operation commenced about the 2-"th of July against Sam Jones in the everglades one detachment of troops moving from the side of the Atlantic and another from the west results yet unknown. Col. Worth is sanguine that, in a few months, with the means given by the Department of War and expected, he will be able to finish this long protracted
contest. Lvery thing, no douot, may oe expecteu frcra him which skill, valor, and perseverance can accomplish. Nat. Int. SWARTWOUT- The New York Express says; "A letter from London, by the Great Western, mentions that Mr. Samuel Svvartwout, late Collector of

"I'll tell you," says an ex-member of Congress, .in Michigan, "how I secured my election in this district several years ago. When ! was nominated, the party to which I belonged was in the minority, and there was no hope Of succeeding unless something more than ordinary was resorted to. After reflecting some time. I came to the conclusion to steal a hog from one of my neighbors, which I did, and in the morning the neighbor traced me to my dwelling, and ascertained beyond a doubt that I. was the thief, and published me as such; when I immediately appealed to the sympathies of the people, and asked them if they thought I would steal a hog, They swallowed the bait; said it was persecution on the part of the neighbor, who was politically opposed to me; and the consequence was, I was triumphantly elected." But the next time I was a candidate for the same office, a Yankee, from Vermont, was the opposing candidate, who having learned the secret, stole a sheep, and ran me sky high. Sandy Hillllerald, - j
A Touching and Beautiful Incident. We know not when we have perused a more touching and beautiful little story, than the following from the Hartford Courant: It was but yesterday that a friend a young gentleman of fine intellect, of noble heart, and one well known to many of our readers, was suddenly snatched by the hand of death from all the endearments of life. Surrounded by every thing that could make existence pleasant and happy a wife that idolized him children that loved him as they only can love, and friends devoted to him the summons came, and he lay upon the bed of death. But a few short years ago, she to whom he was wedded, placed a bridal ring upon his finger, upon the inside of which he had a fewwords privately engraven. The husband would never permit the giver to read them, telling her that the
day would come when her wisn should he gratined, and she should know the secret. Seven years glided away, and a day or two since, when conscious that
he must soon leave his wife forever, he called tier to his bed side, ar.d with his dying accents told her that the hour had at last come when she should see the words upon the ring she had given him. The young mother took it from his cold finger, and, though heart-
stricken with grief, eagerly read the wcrds "I have LOVED IIIEE ON EARTH I 'WILL MEET THEE IN HEAVEN." '
Noble Sentiments We recommend the follow-
in" eloquent remarks delivered in the British House
of Peers, by that truly great man Lord Mansfield, at a
period of great excitement and embarrassment, to the
consideration of many conspicuous actors on our own political arena. To some of our readers they are doubtless familiar to others may be new. Raleigh Register.
"If the noble Lord means by popularity the ap
plause bestowed by after ages on good and virtuous
actions, 1 have long oeen struggling in that race; to
what purpose, all-trying time can alone determine; but if he means that mushroom popularity which is
raised without merit, and lost without crime, he is much mistaken. I defy the noble Lord to point out
a single action in my life where the popularity of the times ever had the smallest influence on my determi
nations. I thank God I have a more permanent and steady rule for my conduct. the dictates of my own breast. Those who have forgone that pleasing adviser, and given up their minds to the slavery of every
popular impulse, I sincerely pity; I pity them still

LIVER COMPLAINT. This disease is discovered 'y n fixed obtuse pain in the right side under the short ribs, attended with heal, and uneasiness about the pit of the stomach; there is in the right side also a distension; the patient loses his appetite, and becomes sick and troubled with vomiting. The tongue becomes rough and black, countenance changes to a pale or citron color, or yellow like those afflicted with jaundice, difficulty of breathing, disturbed rest, attended with a dry cough, difficulty of laying on the left side, the body becomes weak, and finally the disease terminates into another of a more serious nature, which In all probability is far beyond the power of human skill. Dr. Harlich's Compound Strknotheninq and German Aperient Pills, if taken at the commencement of this disease, will check it, and by continuing the use of the medicine a few weeks, a perfect cure will be performed. Thousands can testify to this fact. Certificates of many persons may daily bo seen of the efficacy of this invaluable medicine, by applying at the Medical Office, No. 19 North EIGHTH STREET, Philadelphia.

COMMUNICATED. DIED, at New Bethel, July 30lh, Mr. JOHN G. SHAW, late of Frederick county, Maryland. The deceased resided in this county upwards of two years, during which he won the esteem of every one so fortunate as to enjoy his acquaintance. He has left a widow and a large circle of friends to deplore his premature death. It will be gratifying to his numerous friends in Maryland, to know that he retained the full possession
of his mental faculties, up to the morning of the day on which he died; and during his whole illness he
had a presentiment that his days were numbered, and that soon he should have to pass that bourne whence no traveller returns. Under this conviction, he made
an early arrangement of his business affairs, and prepared himself for the change that awaited him. He expressed himself entirely willing to deliver his sou! into the hands of God that gave it. with a full reliance that he would take it to himself. After bespeak
