To the Editor of the Metropolitan Re cord : Mr. Editor— Murder will out, and so will evidence. Having seen Ban Rice’s testimony before the Destruction Committee, I have felt sorter slighted because no mention aint been made of mine. I suppose it has been suppressed, but I am not to be hid out in obscurity, Our country is tile special jury, and by and by this business will go up before it on appeal. The record must go up fair and complete, and therefore I’ll take occasion to make public what I swore to. I said a good deal more than lean put down, Mr. Editor: and at times my language was considered im pudent, but they thought that was all the better for their side; for it illus trated the rebellious spirit—l heard one of ’em say: “Let him goon—the ruling passion strong in death. He’s good State’s evidence.” When I was put on the stand, old Boutwell swore me most fiercely and solemnly to spmk the truth, the whole truth, and notlang but the truth ; and I observed that'he was then entertain ing about a quirt of double rectified, and it looked like it had soured on his stomach. Old Blow was settin off on one side with a memorandum book, gettln ready to note down some “garb led extracts.” Old Iron works was chairman, aud when he nodded his Republican head, old Boutwell says he: “Your name is Arp, I believe, sir.” “So called,” s4ys T. “You reside ill the State of Georgia, do you ?” “ f can’t say exactly,” says I. “I live in Rome, right ?n the fork of two Injun rivers.” “In the State of Georgia,” says he fiercely. / “In astateofnneertaintyaboutthat,” says 1. “We don’t know whether Georgia is a StaJ,c or not. I would like for you to state [’ourself, if you know. The state of country requires that this matter should be settled, and I will proceed to statu”— “ Never mim|, sir,” says he. “ How old are you, Mj. Arp ?” “That depeiils on circumstauces,” says J. “ I (Un’t know whether to count the last five years or not. During the war your folks said that a State couldn’t secede, but that while she was in a state of rebellion she ceased to exist. Now you say wti got out, and we shan’t get back again Vntil 1870. A man’s age has got soinethfag to do with his rights —and if we are Dot to vote, I don’t think we ought to eclint the time. That’s about as near as I can conae to my age, sir.” ■ “Well, sir,” stys he, ‘are you familiar with the political sentiments of the cit izens of your Styte.” “Got no citizens yet, sir, that we know of. 1 will thank jou to speak of us as ‘peo ple.’ ” “Well, sir,” says he, “I’ll humor your obstinacy. Are the people of your State”— “Don’t speak it as a State, sir, if you please. J’|n on oath now, and you must excuse lie for being particular. Call it a ‘section’ ” “Mr. Arp, are fhe people of your see wtion sulficently litmbled aud repentant 'to come back inio the Union on such terms as we maj think proper to im pose?” “ Not much tlni' aint,” says I. “I don’t think they ire prepared for it yet. They-wouldu’t voluntarily go it blind against your hanh They say the deal wasn’t fair, and you’ve marked the cards, aud stole tie trumps; but at the same time they dm’t care a darn what yoh do. They’v* become indifferent, and don’t care nothin about your Guy Fawkes business'. I mean no respect to you, gentlemch, but I swore to tell you the whole tiuth. Our people aint a noticein you/only out of curiosity. They don’t expfet anything decent, or honorable, or /noble from you, and they’ve gone to work diggin, and plow in, and plantib, and raisin boy chil dren.” Right here tie man with a memoran dum scratclieddown a garbled extract, “and old Boutwell ” says he : “ What do you mean ly that, sir? What infer ence do you iitend?” “I’m stntiA facts,” says I, “You must draw yflur own inferences. They are raisin boy children. Any harm about that? Any treason? Can’t a man raise bot children ? Perhapsyou’d like to amenil the Constitution and stop it. Old Phiiroah tried to stop it among the Israelites, but it didn’t pay. He finally caught the dropsy in the Red Sea. We are raisin boy children for the fun of it They are a good thing to have in the house, as Mrs. Toodles would say.” “Mr. Arp, are not the feelings of your people very bitter towards the north?” “I beg your pardon, sir, but you’ll have to split the question, or else I’ll have to split the answer. Our people have a very high regard for honorable men, brave men, noble-hearted men ; and there’s a heap of ’em north, sir, and there’s a heap of widows and or phans there we are sorry for ; but as for this here Radical party, they look upon ’em like they was hyenas a scratchin up the dead for a livin. It’s as natural to hate ’em as it is to kill a snake. It’s utte'riy impossible for me to tell the strength, and length, and bight, depth, and breadth of their contempt for that party. They look upou a Radical as— as—as—well, as a beggar on horseback —a buzzard sailin round a dead eagle— a suck-egg dog creeping up to the tail of a dead lion. The talk about liirin Brownlow to abuse ’em, to use language on ’em like he did a few years ago when he spoke against Pryne. If they do hire Brownlow, he’ll spatter ’em, he’lJ daub ’em all over, and slime ’em and slobber on ’em about right; and it will stick, for the pores are open, and their morals spongy. I’d like to stand off ahout ten rods and hear him spread himself. It would be worse than a squirt-gun full of cow slop, and I have no doubt would give general satisfac tion.’’ “That’s sufficient, sir,” says old Boutwell. “Ef it was in their power to do so, would your people renew the fight.” “Not unless they could fight the Radicals all alone, and all the world agree to hands off. Even then there wouldn’t be no fight, for ws couldn’t cotch you.” “ What do your people say upon the subject of negro equality ?” “They say it’s a lie, sir—it don’t ex ist by nature, and never can in practice. Folks were not created free and equal. That may be a theoretical truth, but it’s always been a practical lie. There’s grades of society everywhere. There’s men I give the sidewalk to, and there’s men that gives it to me. There’s men that I vote, and men that vote me, and the grades go up, up, up, step by step, from my sort to Mr. Davis, and Mr. Stephens, and General Lee, and Howell Cobb, and Ben Hill, and their sort ■ and then again it goes from medown down down, to the niggers, and the Republi cans and Radicals, aud that’s as low as they run. There ain’t no equality and you can’t make one. We’ll vote the niggers certain. I’ll vote Tip, and Tip’s a ‘ head center.’ He’ll vote about forty, and the first thing you know we’li elect seven big, black, greasy niggers to Congress. We’lldoitcertain— ! seven of ’em eighteen carats strong with African musk. The other rebel States will do the same thing, and you’ll have about fifty of ’em to draw seats with, and you can all stick your legs upou your desks together, and swap lies and vermin, and be shampooned at the same Bhop, and the fair Bexes can sit together in the galleries and mix odors, and fan their scent about pro miscuous. We’il give you a full benefit I of your Civil Rights bill, see if we don’t. You go on—play your cards. We are bidin our time. Weare payin your taxes and your duties and back rations for ! 1864, and licenses, and your infernal revenue, and obeyia your laws without flavin any han4 in makin ’em, and we &X 6 cut off from pensions and public J. M.Coopsb, VOLUME 67. lands; and you sold a poor man’s still in my county the other day because he couldn’t pay your tax on some peach brandy he stilled for his neighbors two years ago; and soon you’ll be sellin the land for the land tax; and you're tryin your best to play the devil generally ; but you’ll catch it in the long run. See if you don’t. Talk about Fenians.— When the good men of the north and the south all get together, they’ll walk over the track so fast that you won’t have time to get out of the way. You’ll subside into obscurity, and your chil dren will deny that their daddies ever belonged to such a party. Excuse me, fentlemen, but I’m a little excited. 'ive cents a pound on cotton will ex cite anybody that makes it. Tax on industry—on sweat and toil. Protec tive tariffs for Pennsylvania, and five cents a pound tax on southern cotton half its average worth—and your folks will manage some way or other to steal the other half. My advice to you is to quit this foolishness, and begin to travel the only road to peace. 1 ' Old Blow couldn’t keep up with his garbled extracts. \ “What makes the President so popu lar at the south?” “Contrast, sir—contrast. The more he ain’t like your party, the more pop ular ho is. He would treat us about right, I reckon, if you would let him alone, but you bedevil him so thatsome times he don’t understand himself. I don’t think he knew fora while whether his peace Proclamation restored the writ of habeqs corpus ornot. Butdoyou go on and impeach him, and that will bring matters to a focus. I’ll bet you’d bo in Fort Delaware in a week, and the southern members be here in their seats, and they’ll look round at the po litical wreck, andruin, and plunder, and stealage that’s been goin on, and they might exclaim, in the language of the poet, “ Who's pin here since I’sh pin gone?” “Mr. Arp, suppose we should have a war with England or France, what would the rebels do ?” “They’d follow General Lee, and General Johnston, and Longstreet, and Bragg, and old Bory. My opinion is, that General Lee would head tlie Union army, and General Grant would be his chief of staff, and General Buell would rank mighty high, and” “What would you do with General Sherman ?” “Sorry you mentioned him. We’d have to hire him, I reckon, as a camp fiddler, and make him sing ‘Hail Co lumbia’ by firelight, as a warning to the boys how mean it is to burn cities and towns and make war upon defence less women and children. No, sir, our boys wouldn’t fight under no such.” At this time the man with the mem orandum put down some more garbled extracts. “Do you think, Mr. Arp, that if the South should ever hold the balance of power, they would demand pay for their negroes?” “ I can’t say, sir. But I don’t think the South has lost anything that way. We got their labor before the war for their vittels and clothes and doctor's bills, and we get it now for about the same. It's all settled down that way, and your Bureau couldent help it. The only difference is in the distribution. Some of us don’t own as many as we used to, but everybody has got a nigger or two now, and they’ll all vote ’em or turn ’em oft'. A nigger that wouldent vote as I told him shouldent black my boots.” At this time the Committee looked at one another, seemin to be bothered and astonished. Garbled extracts were put down with a vim. “ Mr. Boutwell,”says he. “ Mr. Chair man, I think, sir, we are aboutthrough with the witness. I think, sir, his tes timony settles the question as to what we ought to do with southern traitors!” The chairman gave me a Republican nod, and remarked, “ Yes, sir, I think we do. The scoundrels burnt my iron works.” AVliereupou I retired, having given general satisfaction Yours truly, The “Artemus Ward and wife” who were suffocated by gas in New England turned out not to be the parentsof“The Babes in the Woodbut there is no mistake about the fact of another dis tinguished man of letters, without a wife, having been nearly asphyxiated by gas one night during the week. A careless fellow —one of the kind that would drop a coal into a powder barrel by stealth, and call it fun —he retired to his humble but virtuous couch, and, according to his usual cus tom, read until his eyelids trembled be tween a sleep and wake. Then, too in dolent to get up and turn off the gas at the chandelier, whose crystal prisms quivered in the centre of the room, he put forth his hand and stopped it at the portable, which stood upon the tableby his side. Oh, that portable ! More fatal it came near proving than any potable that ever before was drunk ! The flexible iube that connected the portable with the burner above, lay in supine coils upon the table, inert in look, but more deadly in fact thau the hooded snake ;hat lurks in tangled grasses. I should have said more deadly than :he worm of the Still, but then I love the Still —aye, indeed, I love thee, Still, and it was thy Worms, I fancy, that furnished the Diet of that celebrated convocation to which so frequent refer ence is made. Deadily, I say, lay the folds of that long, flexible gutta-percha pipe upon the table, and little did the occupant of the humble but virtuous couch, one© before referred to, dream that he was to enact the part of a Laocoon in its em braces. About the third hour of the morning he awoke, imagining that a large beano lay across his chest againßt which hia heaving lung strove in vain, powerless to effect a respiration. Assured by the sense of touch that there was no beam upon his chest, be concluded that it must be in his eye, aud, though strangely uncomfortable from a buzzing in his ears and -a wild throbbing of the temples, he again turned himself to the wall, and sought sleep as a duty. In the morning when the faithful boy came with a feather-brush in one hand and a cocktail in the other, to dust the furniture and the clothes and prepare his master for his daily wrestle with, the'world: There in the twilight cold and gray. Lifeless but beautiful be lay, Wnlle in the room gas smelled by far Worse than petroleum or tar. All methods to bring the asphyxiated to failed, until I happened into the room. Knowing the habits of my friend X hesitated not a moment. There upon the table stood the cocktail, com pounded by Tim, struggling with its fragrant breath to overpower the noxi ous fumes that had done all the mis chief. The room was already redolent of lemon peel, mingled with a sniff of Angostora. . You remember tne ideuwhich a poet ess her name escapes my treacherous memory so beautifully embodies in verse. A wife bending over the bed whereon her husband lies stretched in the silence and immutability of death but unwilling to believe that life has all departed, cries wildly for his harp to awake him with his favorite air; tremb llngly, wistfully, her fingers sweep the' chords, but idly the sounds fall upon the dull ear of him who lies before here I i .

A Touching (story EXSMEXLSIOa I and the pale .eye-lids do not unclose. “ Hang up the harp, he’ll wake no more,” is then thedesparing wail of the wife, for love has done all that it can do. As already intimated, I borrowed an idea. The cocktail, which the faithful hand of affection had early brought, stood upon the table before me. . “Bring me that glass I" I weeping cried, “And If one spark of life remain. He'll waken wnen its spell Is tried, Or never wake again “ In accordance with my modest but firm request, it was brought me —by a strong eflort of self-control and a stern immolation of natural inclination upon the shrine of friendship, I did not drink it myself. Tenderly I neared it to his lips—they faintly quivered, as you may have seen needles when a magnet approaches. I was not rash—for a too sudden move, ment might have upset the tumbler and dissipated all our hopes at once. Pres ently the eye lids began to twitch, and his finely chiseled nostrils dilated as though they smelt something good. The moment was auspicious, and I touched the goblet to his nose. The ef fect was miraculous. As though a pow erful galvanic battery had suddenly been applied to his back-bone, he sprang up in bed, extended both arms, and emptied the glass at a gulp. “ Too much sugar,” he moaned ; and feebly falling back, we thought that in deed his spirit had fled. But careful attention and much rubbing brought him to. “Just one more rubber,” he cried; evidently under the impression that he was playing whist, dollar points. The first indication of convalescence was his reply to the remark—" How pale you are!” “Yes,” Baidhe ; “ I’m a little bucket.” Then he turned his face to the mirror, and observed that it was no wonder he looked ghastly. After a long-drawn sigh he added that if he had kicked the bucket he supposed they would have .published his death in the Oas-ctte. Silence ensued for five minutes or more. In a voice tremulous with emo tion hethen propounded a conundrum : “ Had I died and had my epitaph been written, what metre should have been used?" Everybody knew but nobody spake. It is pleasant sometimes to lend oneself to a delusion if it pleases a friend. He smiled that pensive smile which his friends so well know, shouting: “Gas-meter!” He fell back exhausted. Slowly and sadly we all walked down from his room in the uppermost story; a candle we placed on the cold hearthstone, and we left him alone in his glory. The qnly person unaffected was the landlady, Signora Triphammersmith. His rent was paid in advance, she said, and in any event it was none «of her funeral. Indeed, on first discovery of the accident, “To Let” had been con spicuously posted in the windows of the apartment. To the gentlemen, however, who immediately applied for the eligi ble rooms, she explained that he could not move his trunk in until the coffin was carried out, whereat he manifested considerable chagrin and went away without concluding the negotiation. My friend has not yet fully recovered from the effects of that nearly fatal night, and for the greater part of the week I have watched beside him. For merly, while in vigorous health, he was watched by the police, but now they have thrown oft'on him, and the performance of that duty rests wholly with me. Oflate, my reflections have been upon the instability of human life ; how man that is born of woman, his days are short and full of wool. I have also thought sadly of the ter rible prices the Gas Company charge the citizens of this metropolis for the privilege of being suffocated. Incredi ble as tlie story may seem, on learning of the accident which had occurred, they sent around their agent, measured the number of cubic inches that my friend contained, and sent him in a bill for that amount of gas. Who hence forth will say that fiction is not some times stranger than truth ? Irrepressible. Late developments seem to indicate that the “ pretty waiter girls ” of New York are more than a match for the Legislature of the Empire State, and the Metropolitan Police combination. The Legislature tried to put them down by interdietingsrefreshments at places of public entertainment, and the “waiter girls ” instantly changed their base to free concert saloons and evaded the law. The Excise Commissioners next thought to squelch them by refusing to grant licenses to places where females were kept as “waiters.” Yet the “pretty waiter girl ” still lives, adapting herself to circumstances ; has taken the tem perance pledge and now openly defies Police Superintendent Kennedy. In other words, the “pretty waiter girl” saloons on Broadway have decided to keep open and sell ice creams, cordials, soda, pastry, fruit, segars, etc. At the “Metropolitan,” the “ Oriental,” and the “ Zouave,” the leading concerns of this kind in New York, a bounti ful supply of these things were retailed on Saturday night. The Herald says : “Another new feature is the dressingof all the lady waiters alike. In one of thesaloonsthey appear in white dresses every other evening and in black alter nate nights. On Saturday evening they all appeared in their new costumes, no low neck dresses beingallowed. All the saloons were crowded on Saturday night and did a thriving business, the Oriental keeping open till near two o’clock. Everything in the eating line was disposed of, and fully as much soda and sarsaparilla dispensed as when liquor was sold. In fact the receipts of two or three of these places exceeded those of any night when they disposed of liquor.” The exasperated police authorities appear to be fairly outwitted in their efforts to break up the “pretty waiter girl” system, and will have to wait until next January before tney can make an other strikeatthem through the Legisla ture. A Warning to Fat Women. A French paper related the case of a young lady in Lyons, who was engaged to be married, and who was predisposed to corpulency. Some of her young friends ridiculed her stout figure, <Ssc., which at the time only exoited her laughter. Her health subsequently de clined. and she finally died rather sud denly. As there was no apparent cause for such a quick death, the account states “with grief the parents resigned themselves to having a post mortem examination. They then found what they never before suspected—her intes tines were burned up by acids, which she had taken unknown to them, to stop the growing fatness, which reduced her to despair. The young girl died the victim of ridiculous vanity.” LANCASTER, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1866. Curious Wills. From Chambers' Journal. Some, who in life would not have given a cup of water to a beggar, by their wills leave enormouß sums to charities, to secure for themselves a kind of posthumous admiration. Others allow not their presentments to sleep with them in the grave, but leave be hind them wills which excite the bit terest feelings and animosities among their surviving relatives. Some wills are remarkable for their consciseness and perspicuity; others for their un precedented shapes andcurious contents. One man provides for a college, another a cat; one gives a legacy to provide bread and herrings to the poor in Lent, and kid gloves to the minister; while others provide for bull-baiting, the wel fare of maid servants, and the promo tion of matrimony. John Hodge has kept his name out of oblivion by giving twenty shillings a year to a poor man to go about the parish church of Trysail during sermon time to keep people awake iind dogs out of the church. Henry Greene, of Melbourne, Derby shire, gave his property for providing for green waistcoats for four poor wo men every year, such waistcoats to be lined with green galloon lace. In the same neighborhood, and in spired by a similar feeling, Thomas Gray provided gray waistcoats and gray coats. John Nicholson, stationer, of London, was so attached to his family name, that the bulk of his property was given in charity for the support and main tenance of such poor persons in Eng land as should appear to be of the name of Nicholson. David Martinett, of Calcutta, while giving directions to his executor, says : “ As to this fulsome carcase, having al ready seen enough of worldly pomp, I desire nothing relative to it to be done only its being stowed away in my old green cheat to save expenses.” Hethen bequeathed to one man all the debts he owed, and to another his sincerity. A Lancashire gentleman, in the last century, having given his body to the worms of the family vault, bequeathed an ounce of modesty to the authors of the London Journal and Free Briton, giving as his reasons for the smallness of the legacy, that he was “ convinced that an ounce will be found more than they’ll ever make use of.” Another testator, after having stated at great length in his will the number of obligations he was under, bequeathed to his benefactor ten thousand—here the leaf turned over, and the legatee turning to the other side, found the legacy was ten thousand thanks. A testator, who evidently intended to :hwart his relations, and be a benefac- tor to the lawyers, gave to certain per sons “ as many acres of land as shall be found equal to the area enclosed by the centre of oscillation of the earth in a revolution round the sun, supposing the mean distance of the sun 21,600 semi-diameters of the earth from it.” An uncle left in his will eleven silver spoons to his nephew, adding: “If I have not left him the dozen, he knows the reason.” The fact was, the nephew had some littie time before stolen the twelfth spoon from his relative. Sir Joseph Jeykell left his fortune to pay the national debt. When Lord Mansfield heard of this, lib said : “Sir Joseph was a very good man and a good lawyer, but his bequest was a very foolish one ; he might as well have attempted to stop the middle arch of Blackfriar’s Bridge with his full-bot tomed wig!” Lord Pembroke gave “notliiug to Lord Say, which legacy*l gave him be cause I know be will bestow it ou the poor;” and then, after giving other equally peculiar legacies, he finished with “Item. I give up the ghost.” Dean Swift’s character is exemplified in his will. Among other things he bequeathed to Mr. John Grattan, of Clonmethau, a silver box “in which I desire the said John to keep the tobacco he usually cheweth called pigtail.” The celebrated Sarah, Dutchess of Marlboro, leftPittilO,ooo for “the uoble defense he had made for the support of the laws of England, and to prevent the ruin of his country.” A somewhat Bimilar bequest was not long ago made to Mr. Disraeli. • Bacon left a will appointing six ex ecutors, but no property except his name and memory, which he bequeathed to “men's charitable speeches, to foreign nations and the next ages.” . Lord Clarendon had nothing to leave his daughter but his executor’s kind ness, and Lord Nelson left neither a will of real or personal estate behind him, although he bequeathed his adopt ed daughter to the beneficence of his country. Milton’s will was nuncupative--that is, by word of mouth—he being blind at the time he made it. Shakespeare’s was maae in regular form; so was Byron's. Chatteron’s will was a strange one > consisting of a mixture of levity, bitter satire and actual despair, announcing a purpose of self-destruction. Others wrote their wills in verse, and as a specimen, we will give thatofWil liam Jacket of the parish of Islington, which was proved in 1787, when no wit nesses were required toawillofpersonal estate: I give and bequeath, when I’m laid UDderneath To my two loving sisters so dear, The whole of my store, Which God’s goodness has granted me here. And that none may prevent, This my will intent, Or occasion the least of raw racket, With a solemn appeal, 1 confirm, sign ana seal, This, the act and deed of Will Jacket. Some wills contain a kind of auto biography of the testator, as well as his thoughts and opinions. Such was the will of Napoleon, which gave a hand some legacy to the wretch Cantilllon, “who had as much right to assassinate that oligarchist, the Duke of Welling ton, as the latter had to send me. to perish on the rock of St. Helena.” Such also was Sir William Petty’s, which states, with certain amount of self pride, that <( atthe full age of fif teen, I had obtained the Latin, French and Greek tongues,” and at twenty years of age, “had gotten up three score pounds with as much mathematics as any of my atre were known to have.” Tbe Farmer Should Know His Business. The farmer must know what he is doing—and he must know beforehand: the thing must all be a plan in his mind —else it will be a hap-hazard thing, which will result in disaster. It is so with all business. And the further one sees into his plan, the better he will succeed, if he prosecutes It diligently. A clear view, seeing the thing success fully and harmonious inallits bearings, then vigorously carried out—that is the business man’s way. It Is the only Way to success. A hap-hazard business will not do. That is the way with tqo many farmers—mere plowing, harrowing, sow , ing, .careless of the condition of the soil, and the time of treating it, As we sow, so we reap. The Fisheries or ?Tew England. MACKEREL. As an item of political economy, the fisheries of Gloucester are of first-rate importance as to the people of New England, affording as they do, em ployment to thousands of our citizens at good wages, and furnishing the peo ple with plenty of healthy and nutri tious food at comparatively ci}eap rates. Besides, they are the nurseries of our seamen, ready without preliminary training, to Bend forth men in case of war, competent to build up at once a navy without a superior in the world. The Reciprocity Treaty, whatever may have been its effects on the interests of the country as a whole, was of undoubt ed profit to the fishing interests of this place, and its abrogation is greatly to be regretted. In order to appreciate the advantages heretofore derived from the operation of this treaty, it is neces sary to bear in mind that four or five hundred American vesselsareemployed in the mackerel business, catching from lot) to 2-50,000 barrels of mackerel each season, and that some seasons more than one-half are caught within three miles of the British shore, from which limit, according to maritime law, we are now excluded. Mackerel fishing commences about the Ist of May, by some vessels going south as far as Block Island, or even farther. But the catch is of poor quality —mostly No. 3. About the Ist of June they start for the Banks and Gulf of St. Lawrence, aud make two or three, aud sometimes, though seldom, four trips in a season, which extends to the last of November. In fishing for mackerel, the vessel Is hove to, as it is called, which is done by hauling in the jib—the foresail and mainsail remaining hoisted. The main boom is guyed out —being brought out nearly at right angles on the larboard side and fastened. Then letting off the foresheet aud putting the helm to port, brings the vessel in the wind, and she lays steady and drifts square off to lee ward. The men are stationed along the starboard side, each having two lines with hooks attached, on which are fixed the pig, an article made by running pewter or lead ou the hook. The Captain, or Skipper as he is called, stands in the middle of the vessels and “tales” the mackerel at first, by heaving out the bait, which consists of salt Pehagen or “ Porgies,” ground fine in a mill made for that purpose. The fish bite eagerly, and are drawn in ra pidly and snapped off the hook. When they slack up biting, all hands turn to and dress them, which is done by split ting them on the back alongside the back-bone. After soaking sufficiently, they are put in Darrels and stowed away in the hold. When brought into port they are taken out and culled —those measuring thirteen inches or more, and fat, are called No. 1; those between 10 and 13, No. 2; smaller, No., 3 —other divisions being made ou account of fat ness. They are then branded by the Inspector aud put into market. Mackerel are fat about the Ist of July aud after that few No. 3’s are taken. The l's are mostly sent to New York, the 2’s to Boston and the country towns, and the poorest to the West or the West Indies. Mackerel in small quantities are taken in Ipswich Bay and all along the coast at spine seasons by amateurs, but this forms no part of the regular fishery. The first fishermen of the season are the George’s fishermen. They com mence about the Ist of February and continue till July, and some even through the season till December. The fish are tak;en with the hand line; that is, a line with a heavy lead and hooks attached, the lead weighing usually about nine pounds, thus heavy on ac count of the strong current running on George’s Bank. It is perilous busi ness, many ships being lost yearly, as a general thing—the past winter being an exception. The most of the vessels lost are rim down by larger vessels, the Banks being in the track of outward and inward bound ships. Others be coming weighed down with ice form ing outside and in, are engulfed by a sudden gale or heavy sea; or again, parting from their anchors, two come in contact and both are sunk.— The fish taken are mostly cod —very large—and some halibut. The cod iu the first of the season, are brought into port fresh, and split and salted onshore by people who buy them—the owners of the vessel usually buying the cod, and the halibut being fresh by being kept on ice, is sold to small buyers or smoked by the owners. The cod are salted very heavily into large hogsheads, where they lay through hot weather, when they are putout of doorsou flakes, and allowed the sun one day , aud then shipped to market. After the Ist of April the fish are split and salted on board. These vessels use for bait fresh herring brought from Newfoundland, the first arriving here about the middle of January, packed in snow and ice. After the middle of May the fishermen do not depend on others for bait, as the herring appear all along the coast and on the fishiDg grounds, and are caught in nets carried for that purpose. The next branch of cod fishing is trawl fishing—a trawl is made by a number of cod lines, from one to four dozen being joined together, with hooks attached to them—about three or four feet apart. It is lowered to the bottom of the ocean and anchored at each end, with buoys connected to show Its posi- tion. After the trawl has laid a few hours it is under-run, by commencing at one end, and hauling up the trawl, and taking off the fish, and dropping the trawl on the opposite side of the boat. This method of fishing is carried on in schooners, carrying usually nine men, and four cfonea. Two men usually go in one dory and use one trawl. The fishermen who go in the winter and fish along shore, furnishing fresh fish generally, also use trawls, using clams for bait, of which there is an in exhaustible supply in our flats and coves. The fish usually caught in win ter are haddock. I have mentioned the principal branches of the fishing business. Be sides these, are the hake, and others of the poorer sort, prepared for the West India market. An important branch of the business for the past few years has been the preparing of cod liver oil, which sold at one time for three or four dollars per gallon, but now brings only about $1,25, yielding but small profit. Annisquam, Mass. A wabrant for the arrest of William R. Roberts, President of the Fenian Brotherhood, was issued on Wednesday afternoon by the U. 8. Commissioner for the Southern District of New York. Mlssoarl Politics-Frank Blair on the Stomp-Stlrrlng Appeal. Major General Frank Blair, who did more than any other man living, to : keep Missouri in the Union, is now stumping that State for the purpose of effecting a bold and thorough organiza tion against the Radicals, who he says are attempting to rob freemen of their rights, and convert them into more subjects of despotic power. The repor ter for the St. Louis Republican gives a full sketch of his speech it Palmyra, from which we clip the following : “The principal point in the speech at Palmyra, was upon the course to be pursued with regard to the registry law. Heretofore, a mere difference of opinion even on the pari ofhimwhowassincerely attached to the Union, has been consid ered treason and the milUiain the hands of Radical leaders have driven the legal voter from the polls. When threatshave not deterred men from voting, the poll books have been destroyed. Thip is all changed now. Every legal voter must determine he will vote, and when any one voter is oppressed, the entire com munity must make his cause their own. It will uot do for any one man to be permitted to be registered and a dozen other legal voters to be excluded. The dozen must demand that that excluded one shall be considered and registered. If he is not, all must join in assisting that one iu his legal prosecution against the register, who dares to reject him. There must be brought to bear the force of public opinion, and in addition, the power of thorough organization. “There should be a Johnson club in every township in every county—every body in favor of the maintenance of the Union should be urged to combine in the plan for the general defense of republican freedom—the liberties of the people. No one should stand back in this eventful period, but all should be brave aud enthusiastic. If the Radicals carry out their threat aud refuse to re gister any but Radicals, the Union men must choose their own judges and clerks, and in another place vote. These poll books must be preserved, and when the Supreme Court declares the oath to be unconstitutional aud void, the ballots thus deposited will be declared legal, and will be counted in any contested election. The Supreme Court will de liver its opinion before the meeting of the Legislature, and the immense ma jority which will be exhibited in favor of the Constitution and the Union will teach the cabal that rules Gov. Fletch er that this is not the era to trifle with a free people. It is no time now to talk about minor points, while a malig nant and inhuman party, in possession temporarily of power, threaten to de grade and extinguish those who enter tain differences of opinion from them. We must work, we must organize, we must assert our rights. Away with this truckling to fear. Let us assert our manhood. Let us despise their threats, as we will brush away illegal opposi tion. The law itself fixes a penalty which stares that Registrar in the face who dares reject a legal vote. He is to be disqualified from ever holding oflice again, and if he has property, he is lia ble to be sued for damages in the Courts. If a Judge refuses to do his duty he can be impeached. We can rest assured the day will speedily come when publicopin ion will ostracise and abandon these miserable tools of this disunion cabal, and there will be no respectable citizen who will admit such a one in his house. No violence will be necessary—the peo ple themselves will arrest the evil. The oath could be taken by no man who lived in Missouri in 18(31 without perjury, and Drake, intended it for none but per jurers. But it was unconstitutional, aud to take it was like the promise made to the robber who robs you and then re frains to take yourlife because of an oath be extorts from you that you wilLnot complain of him. You make the oath, but you do complain, and society will not permit you to keep your oath ; it forces you to disclose the crime. So, then, knowing from one of the Judges of the United States Supreme Court, that that court has decided this oath to be unconstitutional, I, said the General, mean to take it, and demand my right to be registered. And (he continued) I call upon all men who did not actually aid the rebellion to go for ward and take that oath and restore to themselves that liberty which has been taken away from them. Why, you call yourself freemen! Youarcnot freemen ! The 4th section, 11th article, of the new Constitution places your lives and property, whether you be Radical or not, in the hands of the Governor of the State, and you have done this thing yourselves either by voting for it or re fusing to vote at all. The man that now stands back and refuses to aid in the restoration to him of that liberty of which he is deprived, does not deserve to vote, or to be considered a man. Let no man stand back; let every man do his whole duty aud these renegade reb els who now control the Radical party will be swept from their places and de prived of their power to inflict any more outrages upon us.

Americana are proverbial for the avidity and commendable zeal with which they par ticipate In enterprises having for their ohjeot the development of our national resources. At*\ one time “ Railroads "—at another “Coal”— lir?S.V ir°PP® r " or “ Iron," and more recently Oil have been the all-absorbing topics. In all these several enterprises, as will be recollected, those who Hrst took hold of them made money* some larger amounts thou others, according to their Investments. Mining operations In the fields of Colorado and elsewhere now mainly engross the publlo attention. Consideringtliatseveralsuoli com panies havo been already organized—-that they are now at work—that tho reports from their mines are highly favorable—that It Is known that at the present time there are on tho way from the ledges of Nevada and Colorado numer ons" bars or silver" and “brtckH of gold," It is believed that the enthusiasm already mani fested on the subject will, In a little time, be so greatly increased on the recoipt and exhibit of these “returns,” tliatlumuaerable companies will spring up, whose stock , being based at the then greatly Inflated prices of ledges, will neces sarily bo less desirables than that now to be had —thereby giving to those who avail themßelves of the occasiou now presented, of securing “original Interests,” an opportunity of then disposing of the large amount of slock each holder rocelves, at a handsome advance. With these preliminary remarks tbo follow ing taosPECTUs is respectfully presented. 'lho property of the Company proposed to bo organized by the Rale of these *• original Inter ests” consists of the following Ledges, all situ ated within u radius of fis*e miles of Central City, Colorado. TRAIL CREEK DISTRICT. Mammoth Lode,* oflQO feet Never Fall Lode.t of 200 feet. Vanderbilt Loae,; 0 f 200 feet. Union Lode of 200 feet. Gold Ophlr Lode, of 100 feet. TRAIL RUN DISTRICT.

His opinion Is as follows : This is to certify that I havo carefully exam ined the titles to tho foregoing lodes or ledges, and am satlslled that they are perfect. THOMAS MASON, Attorney at Law. Central City, Colorado. Professor Edward N. Kent, of the New York Assay Ofllcc, says: “ As to tho extent of the gold mines of Colo rado, I am not prepared to give an estimate, os I lound enough to fully employ my time within a radius of ttvo miles of Cen tral City, (tho location of tho above Ledges,l but as to the richness of theh, I havo no hesitation In saying, that I believe them to be the richest ever discovered. With science, capital and the Pacidc Railroad, Colorado Is destined In my opinion, to rival or supersodo California and Australia, and become the El Dorado of the World.’ Am tho purchaso of either of tho above lodos would require more money than the majority of persons havo at command, It has boea deter mined to consolidate them, and to divide them into Twelve Hundred and Fifty ORIGINAL SHARES which will cost tho subscribers hereto ONE HUNDRED DOI.I.AJLI EACH, thus affording the man of limited means, os well as the capitalist, an opportunity to socuro an Interest In this region or “practically Inex haustible” wealtn. As all are aware, the usual plau adopted for the development of such a property Is to form a company and Issue certificates of stock. The plan hero proposed may be considered prelimi nary to the formation or two or more Companies on these properties, which are subject to no royalty, leases or mortgages. The Subscribers can then upon Lblssolld and substantial basis, elect officers from among themselves, each subscriber being eligible to the position of an officer of the Company. In order that handsome returns may be speedily realized, these subscriptions are based upon the proposition that the subscribers imm'edlatelyon recelptofthe Deeds(nowready for delivery, and which may be examined at the office of the undersigned before subscrib ing,) may lease their lands on heavy royalties orut once organize Companies In the usual way for which there Is an ample basis. To accommodate those of moderate means hese “ Interests’’are put at sloo each, In order to get the list filled at once, and to prevent any delay In the organization of the Company. Considering tue numerous valuable**Ledges” Which constitute the basis of this enterprise— the fair and equitable features—the low prices at which " Interests ” In It are offered, and that each intercut entitles the holder to his pro rata share of stock In all the Companies that may be organized upon them—also recolleetlngthat in all, there are only I,(XK> Interests to be sold aud It would only require one hundred gentle men each to take ten (1,000) to absorb thewhole It Is presumed that it is bardly necessary to suggest to those desiring to secure one or more of these original Interests, to at once send In Ihelr subscriptions.
