The man/facture of paper for the flu Lional currency has been a matter of long and scientific x.periment, conducted by NI r. Clark himself, experiment that has, at last, be n crowned with signal tri umph. The reader must be content with results, for processes are "under the nose " llere was the problem : wanted a fabric firm enough to resist the rough handling of all sorts of Lingers; light enough to pocket a forture without carrying a pick ; duck enough to resist the action of wa ter, and peculiar enough to defy the can /ring of how admirably all this has been d : Br. U:ark places before nue a bowl or water and a piece, of the article that, in an v enlighted ord,r of reformation, mu- t always precede eel mons, to wit, soap, and in my hand a bright. new tote, gay with gild ng and green, and, fur its beauty, lar worthier of a frantic, than the thousand pounder of SUM uel Rogers, putt and banker, and then bids me "wa.h it.:" Ilis clear and steady eye having no uncertain flicker of mad• mess, I comply, pI tlog launderer, it must be owned,' a little delicately. But my task-master impatiently relieves 1110 from duty, and gives the note precisely such an application of suds and friction as Bridg_ et might make to a soiled bandanna The note comes out of the bath as beautiful as ever, and placed for a moment bet \Veen two pieces of paper, is produced as dry as ono of the jokes of the little-logged clerk of the Ind an !louse—Charles Lamb The paper is positively insoluble either in hot or cold water, and never again can, be reduced to a pulp. It is as touglppi a rag.carpet. The notes once issued up : MI thin paper, and the rogues'are laid by the heels in a twinkling. If you area receiver of mon,y, you have only to sit, in the words of the mill California song. • , %vint, y ,ur washbowl on dour knoo anti !rive each doubtful bill a plunge.— It genuine. no harm ; if false. no 'wetter. Then, think what a luxury it will be to have clean currency every day. Take an old bank note, that has drifted about e world, in the vilest of hand- and the vi lest of places, earrvipg sorts of con tabu' in its texture, o that whose relief called down the i -le benedic tion, "God bless the e 13 t Nrgyle!" to the small-pox ;nd • ague, awl there are a thousand tl, er that you would liar Ily touch wi (la; tongs. l agine yourself washing !wen Mondays, and money, Tuesdays; think of a laundry bills Tanning thus: • A. B —To be returned Friday.

And if, all on a washing .day, "that little bill'' should be insinuat ingly presented for payment, a curt"cur rency's gone to the laundry" may pos sibly insure you a blessed day of . grace But there is more about this : wonderful paper'' that we are to have by and by 1" . photography has been a fortnidableallyof counterfeiters, and so itgave birth to an -other problem : wanted, a paper that can not be photographed. And here you have it, and a splendid little trinalph, it. is, withal. Hero is a eird of sober colors -all the russets, browns and shades,cf yel low laid off in little paralklogratns. 'lt is," in fact, a map of the ground fought over in finding a tint that will "take" black aa..the sin the counterfeiters is trying, to-commit.

CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1864. tience, and the bitter weed, disappoint- ment, grows thick along'the way. Taking a gee° of the new paper and holding it up to a strong light, you shall -see faint yellow fibres hidden in the body of the fabric, and running like threads of fine nerves in every direction. Behold in them the silent but masterly detec tives, for when that fragment of paper has kissed the plate of steel, and has at tained, perhaps, so great a value that a hand's breadth of it will cover a vast es tate, and the wicked photographer tries his art upon it, out come the cunning devie:?s of the engraver, and the faces of statesmen, and out, by the same sign, come the faint yellow fibres that lie under the surface, but us black as the crime?— All over exquisite vignette and rich me dallion, those inky spider legs twist and sprawl and everything but crawl ; it is like a beautiful face seen tCrough the tatters of a black lace veil, and the coun terfeit:r is cau_cht in an ugly net of his own making: is undoubted heir to a leg acy of legs. Of the mathematical accu racy of the machinery you can form a no tion when I tell you that if one hundred notes of uniform area weigh tour ounces, every other- hundred will weigh precisely the sonic, so that you might issue bills of any given denomination by weiAht. ii! , ind twelve pounds of V 5s at one hun vd and twenty.livc dollars an ounce— • 000 Grant, now, there is nothing stranger in the Arabian Entertainments of a thou sand anti one nights than the little his tory of this curious fabric, of which forty thousand sheets can be woven in the pa- Per-mill every day. Grant there is wag is enough in it to keep the fated princess, whose Ile hung trembling from the thread of a story, another night alive. Plitt . ), the eider, possibly wrote certain chapters -of his \atural History with soot., and certai:.ly the laws el the rebel Congress ought to be emrro-sed iii but ternut, but no such vulgar ingredient en tars intotho ink of the Trea-ury. Leav iT iz the paper mill, it is a mater of course that you should be next dour to an Ink-Will, and ;I , you are. In one corner of this apartment is a little engine, ap parently from the Shetland Islands, that received its birth and education within these walls. This engine plays miller to the parti-colored grists. Five iron fel lows, resembling overgrown coffee stand m a row, grin ling the constituents for ioks of seven tints. Four or five wen, colored like Joseph's coat, plunging, two listed and bare armed int t masses of black and green dough, and kneading for dear life, it all looks like the devil's baking day That green ink is the most stub bornly honest thing in Christendom ex cept a Christian ; acid; cannot per:made, nor alkalies corrupt; beneath its vernal back a Treasury note is aq safe as if it we e testace,ms enough to belong to a cabinet of couchology, While there is noihirg in this little kingdoin of ink to charm any eye but a chemist's yet we may wonder at the fine effects of that exquisite ineorporivien of rude and unneighborly ingrtilient , , until" wo have the polished surface of the prin tel note, where the ink becomes the most delicate of coloring, lying al mg the dim ridge in the steel, ligh r and thin as a streak of sunshine on the hills. And now you enter a spacious room, as quiet as an old titim Qua/Per meeting house, and an air of calm Germanic stu dent lite -fills the silence like a speech." Here are twelve tables, each one with a large full paper moon of its own, to in tercept and s s o!ten the light that floods the untrained windows from without. At these tables, every man with the green eaves of a shade jutting over his eyes, end a small microscope projecting from one of them. like a round dormer window oh some quaint Dutch fashion, sit twelve authors who write with pens of adamant upon pages or steel. Were all author ship so painful and so slow, men would write "little here below, nor write that little long" Engravers, like poets, are an irritable people; they uo not like to be loUed at o ver the shoulder; they want nobody doub ling the cape of their elbows; they depre cab heavy footsteps; they steel them selves against intrUTerif. -- Hn't the pleas ant smile of the Chief of the Bureau con• ciliates them, and they let you look. One of them is chipping away at a face about as , a mason dresses a stone. He lends you his _glass and the deAicate nose has the texture of a grater, and the bird you would have vowed a ground sparrow, a 'minute ago, proves to be an awkward nick in the plate, but most artistically done. Engraving and painting aro the twin arts of deception; they produce most beauti ful effects from most improbable causes Thus, a painter will spear an eye 'with a fine harpoon of ti pencil, as if he had sud denly gone a whaling, and will put a light in it by the frantic assault, that looks like the glimpse ora soul; or he will tick- . le the corners of a sober mouth with a brush dabbled in brown, till it is ready to laugh out aloud. • Another of the twelve is plowing 4 lte has the, very atom of all plowshares,o and is cutting the furrows; in other.words, he is "ruling.". Take a greenback and ez amineat. Lo, : there, in tbOspfne, i lines the "beets" of . bisiniimer !fellow. , A third_ iii at work upon the "Discovery of the Mississippi," by De Soto There are sixty figures in it, to-day he is busy with the hem of a garment. As you see him now, soh° has been forth° lasttwelve calendar months. If you can see grass grow and flowers bud and bloom, you can see the progress he is making. But it will be done by and by, and it will out last you andr.t That engraver has wrought a miracle ; ho has transmuted a base metal into gold ; he has made that little plate of steel worth four thousand dollars. Balance it with golden eagles and the birds will fly away with their side of the scales , the dull iron will kick the bum. You will find the picture on the back of the 3's, and they will be known as DeSotos. The design is a wise and beau tiftil one : to engrave the historical paint• ings in the Capital, and "flank" the notes with them, arranged in chronologici.l or der. Thus, the "cues' . will have upon the face, I, ONE, and upon the back, the Landing of Columbus; the twos will coni tnnmortde the Landing of the Pilgrims; the threes, the, Discovery of the Nissis sippi ; the I,ooo's, Lutze's "Westward the star of Empire takes its way." Here now, you will Vave a "five one side of it English letters and Roman characters, to wit : "V., 5, five," and on the other the ;Surrender of Burgoyne. Let us see if there arc not thin elements of an education in this. The alien, ignorant of our tongue, earns the bill hut cannot read it. lle is not quite certain it is the "five" it ought to be; it represents to bbn, certainiteeks of potatoes and pounds of pork and ounces of tea, but it dues no wore. I'lut us reigns upon one side of the bill but Minerva presides on the eth er.

I div id uals of this description abound in every community, and all such deser - ve to live a lieu of übseurity—and had I my wish th,y should most assuredly do so. They are unfit to associate with civil so ciety, and we suffer by being placed in contact with them; and while being o bliged to endure their presence, we con sole ourselves wit the thought that they are only " necsessary evils," and are perhaps placed in our, midst, by our Creator for some wise' purpose : possit ly to prevent us from becoming too supremely happy, and they are -sent as a sort of check on our desires and indulgences. But why do boorish men engage in u buSiness which, to follow With an idea to profit, reguires the most unremitting attention and polite ness to their customers ? Some men in the retail business are perfect " bulls in a 'Al as shop," they do not seem to know how to treat their patrons with common polite ness, especially if they do not purchase everything they happen to price or exam ine. I. went into a shoe atom in Second street; the 'other day, and at.ked td look at satin shoes, While waiting, I saw a country man examining a pair of boots,' •orte , of 'which ho 'had ,pulled Off his fodt after: having. tried it on.

"I eau do all that," was the spirited reply, and lam sure I cannot come a cross a more ill•mannered dog than you are in the whole city " Whether the man had been sorely tried by the departed customer I know not; but I certainly thought that scarcely any thing a customer could do or say could warrant such a rude speech from a shop keeper who wished to retain a respectable patronage. I half hesitated to deal with the man myself; but, as he had already handed me a pair of gaiters to try on, I could not refuse to do so. I tried to get my foot into the shoe, but could not; the gaiter was too narrow, or my foot was too wide. I stated to him the difficulty, and he handed me another pair. The result was the same. I plainly saw the fellow w w getting impatient; his face betrayed that much. He handed me a pair of No. 9 shoes. I had asked for sevens, and could wear sixes. I quietly returned the No. 9's without trying them on. "You haven't tried that pair," observ he. " on "No sir," replied I; " I. wear No. Ts." He blushed a trifle at my quietrebulte, and handed me the number I asked for. which pair I finally got on. When I ask ed the price, I found it to be beyond my present means. lie wanted one di liar more than I bad with me. " Have you none fur $2 50 ?" asked I. "Nu:" was the snappish reply. " Then I can't purchase to-day,', said I. " Will you give me $3 25? " asked he. " I can't," replied I. "Then you'd better take it off your foot as soon us possible," said he. I stared at him, expecting to see him smile at what I took to be pleasantry; but t..) my surprise he wore a grub expres shin, and, to use a homely , but appropri ate phrase, he looked as " savage as a meat-axe." I turned my hack on the boor, and left his establish went, resolved never again to enter it; and I have related the scenes enacted there to all my acqu-ain tauces, who, with one accord, voted the fellow a perfect boor, and one who did not deserve a single cu,torner. Doubtless there arc many such to be found engaged in different pursuits, but I have never met with one , su thoroughly rude before. Several years ago I. used to buy a pop ular periodical at a book store, the pro prietor of which was one of those unde serving fortunate individuals who mar ried a fortune. One day I asked for the aforementioned paper, and it appears I wade the very excusable mistake of call ing one duty before its issue " We haven't got it," was the gruff re ply; and then the boor added, " Don't you want it also fur next Christmas ? " " Nu," replied 1, mortified, as I observ ed several school misses snickering at his low wit; " nor do I ever want it of you any wore, sir." I withheld my patronage from him there. after, and when it is taken into considera tion that I am a oonsiderable'reader of all ,orts of printed matter, and that my monthly bill for such goods us that fellow sold amounted to one dollar and thirty. two cents, the reader will perceive that if he treated one hundred such customers as he did me, and they all left him as I did, the loss to him was no trifling mut ter. No man in the retail business should needlessly offend a single customer by in civility. lie cannot, in truth, do it if he would succed iu the long run. Sup pose it is only one customer. That very person may havo sufficient influence to induce fifty others to avoid running the risk of a similar rebuff, and those fifty persons may toll others, and thus the ul timate loss to the uncivil shopkeeper may be incalculable. Besides, it costs nothing to be polite. A civil word may turn a hard customer into a good one, while a good redly Will often' repel a good patron, and never secure an indifferent one. B. F. T While,l condemn the universal prac tice (particularly among feinales)'of mere ly pricing goods, it should be borne in in mind by the merchants and their sales men, that folks must necessarily price the article before purchasing it; hence, all pricers must not be supposed to be the only pricers; and by being rude to some customers, you may lose a very valuable one. Some - shopkeepers are naturally gruff in their replies to customers. They deem it business-like. Still, they are obliging and accommodating.

Exeoution or the_ Girondist BY JOHN 8. 0 ABBOTT During the progress of the French Re volution, there were two parties which erase, and for a long time contested for the supremacy, the Girondists and /the Jacobins. Tho mob of Paris was at the disposal of the Jacobins, and sustained them itt their most atrocious measures. "We must," said Murat, one of the lead ers of the Jacobins, "strike into the heArts of our foes. It is our onLy safety." The Girondists attempted to arrest the pro gross of the frightful mas:aeres in which the Jacobins were engaging. They thus, exposed themselves to the dangerous charge of being in sympathy with the avistocrats. The strife which ensued, a strife involving life or death, was one of the most terrible recorded in history. Madame Roland was one evening urg- ing Veigniaud to rally the Girondists party at every hazard to arrest the etas sacres. "The only hope of France," said she "is in the sacredness of the law. This atrocious carnage causes thousands of bosoms to thrill with horror. All the wise and good in France,' and in the world, will rise to sustain those who ex pose their own hearts as a barrier to ar rest such onortnities." ''Of what avail," was the sad reply of of Vergniaud, "can such exertions be ? The assassins are supported by au the power of the etrect. Such a conflict must necessarily terwinate in a s reet fight - The cannon ate with our foes. The prominent of the friends of order are massacred. Terror will restrain the rest. We shall only provoke our own destruc tion." For several days the strife raged in the Convention with the utmost intensity. between the Girondists and the Jacobins. The party which could obtain the ma jority would surely consign the other to the scaffold. hl. Roland, this Girondist Minister of the'lnterior, was a man of great power, but Madame Roland, with a brilliance of genius seldom surpassed, prepared for him his specohes in the Con vention. France rec..gnized her marve lous abilities ; the one party regarded her with adoration, and the other wi.h hate. Probably never before in the his• tory of the world has a woman occupied such a position. It soon became evident that the rage of the Jacobins would de scend.upon Madame Roland, and she was urged to estiape from Paris. The heroic woman replied : "I am ashamed to resort to any expe dient. I will neitlierdisguiso myself nor make any attempt at street escape. Nly enemies may find me always in my place. I owe my country an example of firmness, and I will give it." She remained in Paris, and soon per ished upon the guillotine. The Conven tion consisted of eight hundred n-en Twenty-one of the most illustrious men of -Franco- were considered leaders of. the Girondists. The Jacobins accused them of treason, and overawiro. the members of the Convention by a mob, carried the act ousation, and condemned them to death. It was then voted that all Paris should illuminated in view of the triumph of the people. At midnight the whole Conven tion, in procossibn, traversed the brilliant streets, leading, to grace their triumph, the doomed Girondists. They wore all then consigned to the Conciergerie, there to await the final trial. Summer came and went, while these illustrious men lin gered in their dungeons. With fortitude, the record of which has embalmed their memories, the struggled to sustain each other to meet that fate which they knew could not be doubtful. At length the hour of final triumph .came. With the most imposing military array of infantry, cavalry and artillery, to guard against the possibility of any coun• ter revolution, the prisoners were con• ducted in a long procession, two by two. to the judgment bar. It was the 30oi of October, 1793. At eleven o'clock at night the verdict was brought in, and they were doomed to be led the nest morning to the guillotine. As the sen tence Was pronounced, ono of the Gl iondists, Valenti . , Plunged his' dagger to his heart, and fell lifeless to the floor Another in the delirium of enthusiasm, shouted : "This is the most glorious day of my life I" It was midnight when the victims were conducted back to the Oon oiergerie. As they marched along, their voices burst into the Marseilluise Hymbi in tones which reverberated through the corridors of the prison, and echoed through the streets : 'Come children otYour country come, The day of glory dawn■ on high, And tyranny ban wide unfurled bar blooddidalned banner in the aky.," They were placed in one late hall, and the lifeless: body of their companion was deposited irr one corner. By decree of the assembly the remains of Whine were to be taken - wikh the rest, to' the tine, and the axe Was 'to'severhis head frowthe /ifeleAs , bodY, and all the head less trucks xyere to be interred. together.

Death is 'tint 'a reit,' and he who attempts \ to so 'regard it dein but dishonor himself. NO. 386 "What shall we be doing at this dire to-morrow ?" asked Dacoa. "We shall sleep," responded one, "at ter the fatigues of the day, to wake up no. more. Death is but an endless slumber." "No," rejoined Fonchet, "annihilation' is not our destiny. These bodies perish. These thoughts never die.' To.mnrrow,' in o.her words, we shall think, feel, and . act. We shall have solved the problem' of the destiny of the human mind." All turned to Vorgniaud as by a coni mon 'impulse. His discourse was longi and has been described as the most elo. quent which was ever uttered by huinan lips : "Death," said he, in conolusion"id the greqtest act of life. It introduces us to a noble existence. Were in not "do,' their would be something greater. than' God. It would be just man immolating himself uselessly and hopelessly for his country. No ! Vergniand is no 'greater than God. God will not suffer Verg• niaud to•morrow to ascend the scaffold' but to just,fy and avenge him in future ages As the light of day penetrated the dun geon, some sought a moment's sleep, oth'- era wrote a last line to friends, while oth. ers gathered in groups fur conversation. At four o'clock the Bens d' arwes enter ed with the executioners. The hair was cut from their necks, that it might not impede the axe. Gensonne picked up a' lock And sent it to his wife, saying : "Tell her that it is . the only memorial of my love which I can transmit to 4:3r ;' and that toy thoughts in death were hers." Vergifiaud scratched upon his watch a few lilies of tender remembrance, and sent it to the, y l iung lady to vthoua'in a few days he was to be married. Fivti" rude carts conveyed them to the SCaffold.. Each cart contained five personS 511 e; streets through which the Aad procession passed were thronged with eduntless' thousands. It was one of the most splen did of October mornings. As the ears moved, the Girondists sang the Marseil laisellymn. At the end of each verse there was a moment's silence, and., then the strain was renewed loud and sonorous. Arrived at the scaffold, they all embraced. They then resumed their funeral chant. One after another ascended the - scaf— fold, continuing the song till his head kit into the basket. There was no weak ness. No voice faltered-, on - each auc: ceeding moment, as head after head fell, the song grew more faint. Vergniaudat last stood alone. Long confinement had spread a deadly pallor over his intellec tual features. Ile ascended the steps,' the chorus having now died away into a solo of surpassing richness. For a ma; went he gazed upon the headless bodies of hisfrienda. And, then, as he !surreal. ed himself' to the executioner, etimmen= cud anew the strain. '•Oome, children of your country, come ; The thy of glory dawns on high The axe fell, and his lips were silent' in death. Thus perished the Girondists. The h.stery of the French Revolution, in all its sublime annals, has not a trag. edy more thrilling. The Engish church, having been es. tablished by law in Virginia, became, at; all such establishments are wont to do; exceedingly intolerant towards other :sects. In prosecution of this system, of, conversion, three Baptist olergymen had' been indicted, at Fredericksburg for preaching the gospel of the Son of fil.od, " contrary to the statu'o." Henry, Leat ing of this, rode some fifty miles to vol unteer his services in defense of the op pressed. He entered the court, being unknown to all present save the bench and the bar, while the indictment wag being road by the clerk.
