Tax JOURIETMIN CARPLIIITYRS.—The Jour. Car
patters who are about forming an Association in this
city and Allegheny, receive the following item of en
eattragemont from Horace Greely. We coincide with
him entirely, and hope that working-men generally
will at lonic think of it:
"The Journeymen Carpenters of Allegheny City,
Pa., have formed a 'House Carpenters' Building Asso
ciation,' and propose to take jobs and execute them
without-the intervention of employers. This is worth
acre than five hundred 'strikes to them, and not ex
orpnowanne to any one else."
rf the Philadelphia Weavers would adopt the scheme
ahtereleferred to they would soonfind a change for the
better. "Strikes," with their attendant evils, would
tretibe rrseessary. The workman would get nearly the
full value of his labor. The employer would not be in
jured. Nearly all the ills which now bear so oppress
ively upon the t 3iler would in a great degree be mitigated.
/Six at least worthy of a trial, and we know of no
Or atseinnn, competent to test it than our intelligent and
bestast cerpenters. Should they succeed, and we do
siotdoolntheir success, it will iu a short time be adopt;
ed krall brimches of productive industry From such
a elsipipkels might then look to a new era in the social
coadidoisefthose whose fortune, or rather misfortune,
it hi tikdepent tip in cities, compelled to labor day by
49* subsistence.
_ Sheriff of Fayette county, Pa., announces that
thenitis not a single in the jail of that county at the pre
omit dine; as a criminal!—Age.
Wonder if they have any doubles in the Fayette
eontity jail? -
Eir The Chronicle of yesterday deals out a
bandit, for the benefit 0 - Mr Deputy Constable ifc-
Keisiy„. of Piu township, for drawing a sword on a
black woman, who made furious resistance while he
was cresting her. We feel constrained to let onr
readers harethe benefit of the effusion referred to:
"A reasonable degree of force with proper assistance,
would have been sufficient to have enabled him to get
her dotty but vile and abandoned as she undoubtedly
israsitersex should have preserved her from personal
violent*. The "little brief authority" of office should
sieverbii made a cover for inhumanity. There is a pro
ler way of doing things of this kind, and the best offi
gora generally do their duty with the least trouble from
?exigence."
Again:
"If hfclEttvr is willing to acknowledge that he
drew the sword in self defence against the woman, he
is curt able--ifnot, as lin officer, he had no business
with such a weapon."
And . )igain:
"The Act that the negro woman had done serious in.
j • WrilelltfcKzt.vr's person, is p'rhaps, some palliation
for his conduct towards her, but a more proper way
would have been for him to have called sufficient as
sistance to have arrested the whole gang."
,NYITR ANCESTORS" AGAIN.
A-little paragraph, under the title "Our Ancestors,"
takeafrom nn English journal, to which it should have
been credited, accidentally crept into the first column,
as editorial, yesterday.
Bytise way, speaking of ancestors reminds us of an
Engl . :whits:lm in the News of the last steamer, announc
ing /*seals of a child, by its father, for three gui
neas! Often, too, even in the neighborhood of Lou
doni may be seen husbands selling their wiyea,in the
marks/ places, for a few shillings! The last is an
economical means of separation, common among the
poorer people, and, being recognized by the English
Constitution, both parties arc at liberty to marry aza;n
after the sale And this is England—"Anti-Slavivy
England!" What a pity that the orat of sof Exeter Hall
snould go three or four thousand miles from horn, to
find slaves to liberate, when there are so many at their
own doors!—N. Y. Sun.
Many suppose _hat C. M. Clay, of Ky., who recur,

"Is it? " inquired the husband; "his muttering, then.
is %Sort of mental thunder, I suppose?"
"Yes," sobbed the wife.
"Well, well," was the reply, "we must expect elec.

he took a trim birch stick, and "whaled" him in a warm

ABBIT'S ANTI-ATTRITION METAL—This
_LI excellent invention for the reduction of friction in
machinery has at length been introduced in our city.—
It consists of a lined box, suitable for all revolving and
sliding motions in the various kinds of machinery,where
great weight or speed are applied; these boxes reduce
friction in a remarkable degree, requiring but little oil,
and are warranted entirely free from the objections
found with those now in use.
These lined boxes have been introduced in *many of
the Eastern Rail Roads, and in various manufacturing
establishments in that section of country, to which the ,
limits of an advertisement will not allow us to refer,and I
nearly thirty well known superintendents,engineers,ma
chinists and engine builders in the east certify that, "in
the use of these boxes, friction is reduced in remark
able degree; oil is required only in small quantities, and
the wear is hardly,perceptible, during a period in which
a hard metal boxkif the same thickness would be worn
out journals running in these boxes attain a smoother
surface than they have seen on those which have been
run in any other box." They also certify "that thepar
tentee of this improvement has received the highest a
ward of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic's Assn
ciation, for specimens of these boxes, (some of which
had been run on the crank of a locomotive engine more
than thirty thousand miles,) at the fair of the Institu
tion, held in Boston in September and October, 1841."
The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, also awarded
Mr. Babbitt the premium for the improvement in box
es, under the Scott Legacy, which confines such awards
to nem and useful improvements.
The Committee on naval affairs reported strongly in
its favor, in consequence of which the right to use it was

aug 12-5 t Auctioneer. ded by Mr. Charles Howard, President of the Balti
more and Susquehanna Railroad Company, who pur
. chased the right for the road,a distance of seventy miles,
for $1,050. Mr. Howard gives the article the follow.
ing recommendation:
"The price was considered a high one, for the com
paratively limited extent to which the Company would
• have an opportunity of making use of the patent right;
but we were satisfied that it was for our interest to a
vail ourselves of the invitation. I can now say, that,
having better tested its value by a more extensive ap
plication of it, I think that the company would be very
unwise to relinquish their right to use it - for a much high
erconsideration than that which was given for it; and I
have no doubt, that if such a proposition were to be
made to the Company, it would, without hesitation, be
declined.
The great merits of the invention are, that it prevents
the heating, and cnnwqucnt cutting and destruction
of the bearings, which are so numerous on the steam
engine; and on the perfection of which depends the val
ue of the engine; while, at the same time, there is a,
very great saving of oil, the expenditure forms a mate
rial item in the cost of workine a large engine. In the
locomotives of the company. efind the saving to be ful
ly ons half of the quantity which was required before
Mr. Babbitt's invention was applied to them. Some
of these locomotives ha vimz nut several thousand miles
I can also say that this inventien makes the machinery

THE Influenza, which is now in al Bost a universal
epidemic, is exciting the inventors of puma
medicines to increased exertions itr the puffing lied )
but owing to the general distrust entertained for AA
generality of such drugs, people fear taking them.—.s
The following, however, from a distinguished Are.
cian in New York, Dr. Nelson, we think may be or
lied on:
"The object of the present communication is to ha
otnmend a single remedy, cheap and of easy aeodasibi
the poor, and to caution them against an injuries*
in this disease, namely, bleeding, either general or
leeches. In all those cases in which the first class
symptoms prevail, let the patient smell frequently ,tit

a common salts bottle, (Sims' Aromatic Palatal ti.
Salts
are preferred) and by putting the Vial to the
mouth to draw a few deep inspirations of volatile mail&
ter into the lungs. Let this process be repeated two
Of three times in an hour, and it will give more speedy
and greater relief, in all slight cases of the first clam
than auv other remedy, and will be sufficient for a
cure. It will also be essentially useful in the severe
cases; and those of the class of prostration, a few
drops of re - :lonia., or hartshorn, ought to taken inter
nails. A neat way of doing so is to take an old tisle.
ioned mixture called lac ammeniaci. However, it is
as a local remedy to act on the disordered surface,
that its use is advised. ' The principles will be ree l er
nized by all physicians versed in molecular orgaannie
tion, and those who are deficient in that, knowledge
may do in that instance as they do in all others—moct
upon the faith they imbibe." These salts are for Gals
