The Liquor Party

The law requiring all letters to

be prepaid by stamps, goes into operation on the 1st of January 1856, not July next as stated in yesterday's paper. .Y.

By our exchanges we see that

the demonstrations on the 12th hailing the advent of the Liquor Law, was very general throughout the State. «r

A New Material for Making Paper, Cordage and linen. It has been ascertained by actual experiment that the fibre or external cortex of the Asclepias is a,beautiful material for making paper, cordage and linea. There are several yarieties of the Asclepias in the Ohio Valley, but two of them (the milkweed and one other) have as yet been experimented on, and as they are all hardy perennials they will not require as much labor in the cultivation, and yield as much fibre to the acre as either flax or hemp. 'The fact of the Asclepias or milkweed fibre being used for cordage, paper, fcc., may be of importance to the farmers of the We^t—it was given with a view of calling their attention to the fact. From reliable sources we have no doubt that inore fibre can be obtained from an acre of it than from either flax or hemp and, it being a native perennial, will not require as much labor in the 'cultivation. This fibre, we repeat, can be used for all the purposes that flax and hemp are applied to.— Agriculturalists would do well to engage in its cultivation, as from the scarcity of paper material it would meet witli a ready sale, become one of our staple products, and be amply remunerative.

J£3T Major Porter, of New Jersey, lias a command in the Turkish army equivalent to that of Lieutenant Colonel in this country. There are many Americans now serving in the East, both under the Moslem and Muscovite flags, but we hear of none in the army of

England, or that of the French Emperor.

The Clay Comity Wit Ended—11M "Fonr Fowext'Jp confownee!" The following ldbg letter from one oi the 'Soldiers' attached to one division of the 'Army of occupation,' to the Evans* ville Journal indicates that the Clay Co.

Kentucky deserves to name the next President, if he is a Know-Nothing, as a just tribute to the perfect abandon with which she has adopted the platform of the new organization and decapitated the shrieking forms of the Whig and Democratic papers.

I do not know how this may be, but of this one think I am certain, that there is not in the whole Union a firmer and braver m«n, a purer patriot or more honest politician than Garret Davis. He has the intellect, the will, the honesty, and the "good ieport"thata man of eminent office should have. And it is literally true that Henry Clay, (whom

Dodd and Capt. Gavitt have iic services, the safe judgment, and the just returned from the meeting above exalted patriotism of Henry Cky are alluded to. They report it a large and respectable, but are at the same time of the opinion, that 149out ofthe ISOmen present, were directly or remotely connected with the outrages that have been committed here.* The meeting prepared a sort of "Vienna note" as their ultimatum offteconciliation, and dispatched a committee to Terre Haute this morning, to lay it before the commissioners. Gen. Dodd will also be at the conference, and will urge any adjustment of the matter, that he deems compatible with the honor and intertrests of the State. For my own part I consider their proposition a ridiculous piece of cool impudenoe, and under existing circumstances unworthy of respectful consideration. Until they reestablish their own local government, and show a disposition to enforce the laws of the land, and are found protecting instead of destroying public and private property, I deem any demand for redress coming from them unwbrthy of notice. I still insist that this community have r.ot been essentially wronged, and if it has suffered at all, it has been from causes which are incidental in the construction of all large public works, and temporary in, Cjeir char-
