Few of our citizens are aware of the great extent of the mechanical tin-1 manufacturing rations which arc jr i 1 1 ir on in ami immediately about our city 1 1 t lu.-r. !y t!in-e which up a part of our foreign am! coat-wi.e oLportatious, but to j-e whic!i are necessary for our own Coiisuiupiiou atol the progn ive building :; f the city anJ its suburbs. Our uticutiou was lee. ully attracted t.i the su!j"ct of lirick Makiug, bv tlie iticivi-ed demand fir an higio r .rices i.t that article, and by statemeuis which have recently been pul.li.-hcd rf tho inadequacy of the supply in other cities. Although the amount of building iimv going oil here is Ki.-s thau at some firmer periods, there i yet au active demand for building materials nhich naturally directs attention to the sources ofM-.pp'.y. w The ni A-t extensive c-iaMh-hineut in our vicinity f ir the mnnufacturo of lirick, is wli.it is known as the -'.New York I i rick Works" an auoiiiiii ' us ti-iiric. t 1 be I indicative of the origin i.f the concern, the proprietor. Mr. !'i:n :i lii 1.1:1:1.!., baviog beeu a Irick maker in the State 01 New V - 1 k be! r lie eh w.. I! ,.-ti.n as the scene of his skill and cutcnu'i-e. Mr. i i:v,:...,i'., JJi-n-k .ir 1 is a), nit four miles iVoin the city, on the line oi' the i';Vli:.n.-g iiaiiroad. We tiok ceeasiyn, a few days ago, to visit the eiabii.-hiiieiit, and wire indebted to the poiife attention of .Mr. Aim-Hi Al l. .tt, the .upc-niifen jcnt, f jr sumo inf..i matiou as to the art and ii'Y-t -ry of brick making in genera!, but cpteial!y for an opportunity to witness the process by which bricks enough for two or three duelling bouses are daily inadc lhcr. The process is by improved and economical machinery the machiues used being a pifcut of Alfred !I ill of 1'erth Atnboy, N. J. There are thirty-f iurof these machines, capable of turning out ten thousand bricks each, daily. They are employed alternately, seventeen one day and the other seventeen the next so that one in muki axi meventv thou sand bricks are made daily. And so great is the improvement upon the old mode, and such the economy of labor, that most of the men had accomplished their stint of ten thousaul a day fir each machine, befi ra 4 o'clock ia the afternoon, an were winding up their day's work. The machines all connect with an iron horizontal shaft, running the whole leu-'tU of th.; yald, about 2U00 feet, or more than two-lifihs of a mile. They are driven by a steam engine of forty-five hor.se power. The thirty-four perpendicular shaf:s that connect with this long one, and enter the tubs iu which the clay is ground before it passes ibto the moulds, are about sei n'v feet apart. In the rear of each tub am vats for moist ening the clay, wl.i :h boll enough for a day's w irk. While one set of vats are being v.vrked off one day, the others are being replenished with clay for the next d ay's operations. The clay is drawn up au inclined piauc from th pit near by, by means nf another gtcr.ni engine, and dis tributed into the vats over a rail irack, which ruus the whole length of the shaft iu the rear of the vats. One man feeds the tubs from the vat, another nets as moul ler, who is followed up by two more men, officiating as " ofi'-bearers," as tl.ev are termed, iix bricks are mouldered at a time, and emptied upon the smooth yard, where they remain "flat on their backs" about six hours. They are theu turned upon their edges, in which posiiiuu they remain about six hours more. They arc then piled in rows at' ut h-u hundred feet iu length, teu courses high, aud so kept for about two days, when they are piled in the kilu f )T burning. In the kilu a discretionary heat is kept up fiuiu Monday morning till Satur day night, pains being tak'.-n, as we were pleased to learn, to avoid any cucroaciMucut upon the S-lbath. About four ih.ys is required fur the cooling of the kiln, 1 et" re the bricks c:ti be bandied. A certain ijuan tity of Authr.icile coal dust is mixed with the clay, a process peculiar, we believe, to Mr. SlubUil, and which gives mure solidity to the brick, aud renders it nn re imjei vious to water. The locality fun.i.-bes a superior material for Irick, tie clay ia the region of the yard being a beautiful blue earth, excellent iu quality, abundant in quantity, and extending to the depth of twenty or thirty feet. The water ued is forced iuto a reservoir and conducted around the yard by pipes. The burning shed.s arj about iiftccn hundred feet lou-; a rail track, connected with tlie l-'itchburg Railroad, runs the whole leiisrlh of vai l, by which means eait bodies arc carefully loaded from the kilu anil tiaiisj oiled to almost any luaiket. At the depot in Cbarlestowu, tlieau cart bcUi.s ale swung oil upon a set of wheels, by the aid of a derrick, and tianrj t iled to any desired locality. The bricks, thus caxifuily packed in, are not disturbed untii they arrive at their place of destination. Tb'-y re n. ver thiowu into the carts promis cuouslv, but are always carefully an angfd. 4 , . , The vard covers njont f rty acres of ground, rf alVmooth, hard sur xo, where it was formerly a quagmire; and twenty millions of bricks are made during the tix mouths of the year that the Jwrk is usually car ried on. Constant employment is given to two hundred aud ten men at the yard (almost all of them Trench Canadians) and between thirty and forty horses are daily employed in teaming for distribution to customers. From the profusion of the wood used for burning, we opine that "Ooody lilake" would never have suffered for the want of a stick, if she had lived iu tlie vicinity of the enormous pile. This is how the tenth year of the operation of this stablishiucut. The bricks made are handsome aud appear to be of an excellent quality. They have a high reputation, we believe, in the market. Mr. Abbot, the Superintendent, Las had an experience of a score of year.-, fr more, at brick making, and his 1 flieien cy is manifest throughout the whole of this large and well ordered con ceru Irjitmi iMHy Lci.uhij Tmrrbr, JnneX, l.r:j. jwjX Jjave the Agency for selling these Machines, and County Rights.

N'H'U'y, As usual iu all utrfut ninl ivjmk'V improvements, this Patent '- is :..n infringed by different individuals. It is well known, however, tb-it it Us heen litigated and thoroughly established by law. Injunctions have 1 t-:l, panted ag.tiu.st many of the infringing parties, and fevcral application fur injunctions and suits for damages are still pending. The community are therefore cautioned against buying, selling or using any ofth.se infringements, as the law will be put in force in every instance. Not a single machine is now in use of similar construc tion, but is au infringement. Those who have bctu persuaded to buy or use, ihruugh the f.iLe representations of parties selling these infringe iiietits, arc offered the opportunity to save themselves costs and trouble, by calling on the Patentee, who is always willing to settle on reasonable term. K':N.IMIX C. TAYLOR, Auest, LvLLvy, fmn Co., 1'a. LEWISBURG, UNION COUNTY, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1853. Corre.'OuJrucsorUic LcwislmiKCuruuidr.j 'York State, Nov. 1853. A little village in the Empire State,!ike a small town ia the Keystoiie,has its evils aud its blessings. The afi'airs of every man aud of every family are either known or "guessed at," by all o'.hers. 1'very new coiner or visitor must ruu the gaunt let of eyes and tongues. "Look not every man on his own things simply, bat kep also a sharp look-out for the things of others," is an injunction of SV;J Pupuhir which is scrupulously honored. There are local as well as political parties, to watch for the l'ost Oiliee prize every four years ; aud two or three churches, to half-starve such well-disposed preachers as are induced to settle with them by reason of " rapid growth of the place," and its "central position." Rehearsing political assertions, aud narrow sectarian bickerings, are given out rare exhibitions of statesmanship and theology, in various shops aud stores, wheu farm-work is cot driving. Of course there is an "aristocracy" say a dozen of both sexes, more conceited than others of their age, who feel somewhat above them, and are secretly envied, while openly de nounced as "big bugs" aud "high flyers" by their quoudam associates. Aud there are one or two "rich old hunks" that is, men worth a fjw thousands more than those neighbors who love money equally as well but have not been quite so fortu tunate iu its pursuit. It is an unpardon able wrong iu these rich men to expend their own money as they deem best,instead of opening their purses and dividing their money among the store-loungers who arc planning for theru schemes of bcucvolcuce which they themselves never indulge in. While to their faces they are very blandly saluted as u the Judge," or " tlie 'Squire, or "the General," or "Me Deacon," and their opinions acceded to with the utmost deference, behind their backs they are abused as everything wrong. If they do not lay out their money, they arc "miscfc'y niggards," the " cause of all these hard times," and of the "want of prosperity" of ,. 4.wn." And if make investments, they arc " taking the advantage of the pour," aud "buying up the whole country." However, with all the enormous sins' of these rich men, there are always scores of denunciators ready to take their places, reputation inclusive. On this other hand, you have the pure breezes uf hvaven always around you you can sec the waving Crests, the cultivated fields, and, all the details of rural life and you can live iu comparative iudepcudenco of landlords, market caprices, thieves, and fires. Y'uu can always Cud some of the choice spirits of earth iu such localities those who are doing good to all, and diffu sing a quiet- joy in many households. Iu "social intercourse and converse sweet" on topics higher than horses fir dollars, many precious hours are passed. Here you often find the genuine pastor and the true phy sician the salt of tlie earth indeed, preser ving soul and body froui putrefaction, and daily strengthening the cords of affection which biud man to man. And when sickness and suffering or auy rail sorrow comes, the potty division walls between neighbors arc soon broken down, and how easily all become as ouc family ! l'robably the greatest difference between a 'York aud a Pennsylvania village, is in their business habits. Tho quietness of a small town in l'cuu'a, is proverbial, while its Yankee prototype in size is always in motion. Every man, woman and child Ls tinkering aud contriving for some improve ment to gain Seine advantage to get a-hcad some way. It is on record that a right 'cute Yankee baby is planning some "improved machinery" before it leaves its cradle; but "the fact wants confirmation." Certain it is, however, that he soon devel ops that propensity, and "swapping" and buying and selling occupy most of his spare time. I am inclined to think too many hours are spent iu mere "head work," for much of it adds nothing to the sum-total of property ; while the plodder who keeps his hands busy without troubling Lis head enough to endanger its sanity, is adding to the stock of tangible wealth. The two brothers who spent all day in "swapping j.-jekets," were no richer at night ; but the third, who ii'c a jacket during the same time, was a benefactor. Superior activity is productive of great inventions discov eries aud adaptation of natural resources to man's uses : by these means Jonathan gets ahead of, aud vmjiLs Ins than llaus. Another trait of the Yankee is to keep his money always in use. While llaus salts down Lis half-dollars until Lis barrel is pretty well filled, Jonathan puts every one he can get out at interest, or invests it iu real estate, somewhere. Many in this region send their money for loaniug to the Western States, for the sake of the higher rates of interest there legalized, (Jonathan wants to make money " 'cording to law," you must know ) Your true Yankee farmers are noticea ble for their love of knowledge and their spoiling and singing schools, debating and other societies, aud above all their books . aud periodicals coming to every family, make learning a thing universal. It would astonish Some of the Tenu'a farmers per haps not your readers, however to see the loads of newspapers coming weekly to every Utile pot-office where the Yankees have the ii.Cuer.ce. A N. Y. Tribune of the morning,! saw the evcuing of the same day at a small storey -and-a-half house, lid miles from the Eric Railway and 210 from 2s'ew York city. The poorest here are all determined that MeiV children "shall have au equal chance with the richest," aud a well-cultivated mind they are aware gives them that chance. Hence they will not be found "starving their heads for the sake of pleasiug their stomachs;" they prefer plain food and rich reading. I stopped at a town in Tompkins couuty containing three or four villages and 4 or fiOOO inhabitants, in which no intoxicating liquor is sold publicly, aud where cases of iutempcranco are almost uukuowu. The authorities will not grant a license, aud all the thirsty can procure it is stated is smuggled in by a stage driver. (Yet at the List election, which it was supposed would decide the Maine Law for the State, scores of its rampant advocates remained at homo ! Oup who had a brother who is a reformed inau, and to re-instate whom in church, society, and secret associations, Le Lad taken much pains, refused to go to the polls, "because Le mutt stay and make a cow-pen !" Very similar to the "friends of tho Maine Law" iu Pittsburg, who secured the re-nomination of Ir. Carothers as tho Whig candidate for Seuate, and supposing him "all safe enough," refused to exert themselves on election day, while his oppouents rallied and defeated him by 2 or 300.) There is an organization in this State called the "tixrso Lcajjae," by which men of property combine and pledge money to pay the expenses of seeing anti liquor lows enforced. It is of little or no consequence what laws are enacted on such a subject, (the Small Note Law is an illus tration hilt if voannn&ihla Mun 1-- and devote time and money to ensure the ... tnf'jrecmciii of those laws, there is some virtue and "legal suasion" in them. I an..; not familiar with the details of the League) but should deem it an important plan. The local question of the day just here, is the Stago question. Under the Whig administration, the WLig merchant had the Post Office, but a Democrat happened to get the contract for carrying - the Mail. Under Pierce, the Dem. merchant has the P. 0., but the late Whig P. M. underbid and got the Mail trontract. The old mail carrier did noFwaut to give up running his stage (1G miles) and put down the fare tii 37 ets. and continued it the new con tractor run the same route for 25 cts. the old ono came down to 121 the new one carried fir nothing the old one ditto, and dinner aud cigars gratis ! This losing game of conrse could not continue. The con tractor has money, and the legal righf,and Lis friends wax warm in his support. The other pleads poverty aud infirmity aud that he inhabiteth "a free country," and Lis friends "will see him through." The con sequence is, a great aud wordy war iu Ccn tcrville Hards, Softs, aud Maiuc Law aro forgotten iu the contest between the Old and New Stage parties. One man would do a good business, with fair charges; as it is, each lias to take ia "dead heads" or at half prices, aud thus (especially in bad weather) good loads " keep up appearan ces." The way the village aud adj iceut country is canvassed for passengers, would ' " beeue a more important cause." And then to see the "proprietors" running ia debt everywhere they can, iu order to com jwl custom from reluctant "patrons !" As a stranger to the iutcstiua war, it was very amusing to me to hear the arguments pro and con to be persuaded at first to ride with Tweedledum, and secondly with Twe dledee..."Very foolish all this," you will readily say, "for it is ruining them both." True, but the folly is not conliued to the runners of stages printers, mechanics and merchants often set the bauic example for, in all cases, nnralhJ-fur competition is the -M instead of the " Ve of busin ess." One bubble' must 'burst' at last. The more desperate the case, the greater will Li the boasts and show of prosperity. As it stands, the Stage question may bo tuised by some pettifogging politician into a law -suit or two ; or if " public feeling" can be got to "bleed" enough to keep up both Stages until next Election, the next Governor may be chosen by some connec tion of Lis name with the Stage question in Ccutervillel It Las spread iuto tho church, and one pastor's "influence is expected" in behalf of his parishioner, the owEcr of one of the stages. Heaven help the good man to steer clear of the Scylla and Chary bdis of the Stage question ! The beauty and fertility of Owego creek aud itu adjuctut Lille, ttrunk a SrtLs who was traveling thro' Iwre, as a fair type of a favorite valley iu Switzerland, aud a settlement of cs'een.ed and independent Swiss families has been there made. A Plank Road aloug Owego Creek was recently projected the plank necessary arc now lying along the route proposed but tho work is dead. Alleged cause tho liud owners will not yield the right of way without exorbitant damages. The lumbermen up your West Branch would do well to naturalize soino of the Stump Maehiucs which men Work with iu this region when they have leisure time. A yoke or span, levers, chains, and two or three hands extract a great many pine stiluips in a day ; thus allowing the land to come into use ; and then the stump', piled up edgewise, make a fence that can nut be crawled through or jumped over. I have seen stump fences, 20 or S'J years old, which are hot half worn out.

TLcre la a little paper printed at San Diego, California, called the San Dyo Herald an ordinary pur, which went into the support of Juii.n Bigleb for Got ernor, and that was nut suspected of ever being inclined to fun. Tho editor's name is J. JuJson Ames, sometimes familiarly known as " Ikiston a couuty judge, and a moderate man. lately before the elec tion he took it into Lis head to go on a tour to another part of the State, to elec tioneer for the Democratic Uiglcr, and en trusted the H rnll during his absence to the charge of John rbccuix, Esq., a gen tleman of that ilk, known iu this vicinity by the name of " Derby." But the Judge had forgotten to inquire into the nature of 3Ir. l'lucnix's polities, and the first thing the new editor did was to change the political character ot the Herald by running up the Whig flag, bearing the name of William Waldo fur Governor. The Judge's consternation may be fancied, lie immediately wrote back a letter to Phoenix, telling hira to bring the ILmhl back to its allegiance ; whereupon l'hoeiiix declares his Democ racy that his support of Waldo was a mistake, aud asks forgiveness, avowing himself ready " to embrace Democracy with ardor, slap her on the back, and de clare himself in favor of erecting a statute of Andrew Jackson on the plaza." " 'Whatever is, is right,' (says Phoenix,) "as the old gentlemau sweetly remarked when he chopped off the end of his nose with a razor, iu the endeavor to kill a fly that had lit thereon when he was shaving;" and applies the remark to the election of Uigler, and adds, " If this election should, however indirectly, cause San Diego to assume its proper position as the first com mercial city of California, I shall reverence the name of John Uigler for ever, and I will bestow that honored appellation upon my youngest child, aud have it engraved upon a piece of leather or other suitable material, aud suspended about that tender infant's neck, until such time as he shall be old enough to learn and love the virtues of his honored godsirc." Mr. Phoenix, in his arm-chair, writes an eloquent valedictory on retiring from the editor-ship : "Te Deum Lai'PJLmiis. Judge Ames has returned! With tho completion of this article, my labors are ended; and, wiping my pen on my coat-tail, and placing it behind my sinister ear with a graceful bow and bland smile for my honored ad mirers, and a wink of intense meaning for my enemies, I shall abdicate with dignity the ' arm-chair,' in favor of its legitimate proprietor. iy the way, tins 'arm-chair is but a plcasaut fiction of Boston's ' the ouly seat i:i the 11 ruhl office, being the empty nail keg, which I buve occupied while writing my leaders upuu the inverted sugar box, that answers the purpose of a table. 1'ut ?ucb is life. Divested of its poetry and romaiiee, the object of our highest adiuiratiaii become mere common places, like the J:rtUi't chuir and table. Many ideas which we have learned to love and reverence from the etry of imagina tion as tables, become old sug:ir boxes ou eie inspection and more intimate ac quaintance." If he has given offence to any one, he is ready to accept their apologies. lie says, " Commencing as an Iudependent journ al, 1 have gradually p.nscd through all the stages of incipient WLiggery, decided Conservatism, dignified Hccautation, bud ding Democracy and rampant Radicalism, and 1 now close the series with au cutirtly Literary number, in which I have carefully abstained from the uieutiou of baldu and Wigler, I mean Waglcr aud ljildo, no never miud as Toodles says, I bavn't mentioned avy 'cm, but been careful to preserve a perfect armed neutrality." The description of the sirmal home of Judge A me, after all the double IWnix had caused him, is very rich. lie says, " C'lolly we guncd from the window of the office upou the new town road ; we descried a cloud of dust in the distance ; high above it waved a whip L.h, and we said ' IJootoii' cometh, and ' his driving is like that of Jehu the son of 2umshi, 1'jr he driveth furiously.' "Calmly we seated ourselves in the arn chair, aud contiuued our labors. Anon a step, a heavy step, was heard upon the stairr", aud ' liostou ' stood before us. ' In shape aud gesture proudly eminent, stood like a tower but bin fice deep hears of thuuder had intrenched, aud care sat on Lis faded check ; but under brows of dauntless courage aud considerate pride, waiting revenge.' We rose, and with an unfaltering voice said, Well, Judge, how do yon do.' He made no reply, but com menced taking off his coat. We removed ours, also our cravat" The sixth and last round is described by the pressman and compositors as hav ing been fearfully scientific ! "We held Boston down over the press by our nose (which we had inserted between his t - hair was employed in holding one of bis hands, we held the other iu our left, and with the 'sheep's foot' brandished above our bead, shouted to him, ' say Waldo.'

"At this moment we discovered that we had been laboring under a ' misunder standing,' and through tho amicable inter vention of the pressman, who thrust a roller between our faces, (which gave the whole affair a very different eoniplrxion,') the mat'rr was finally settled on the most friendly terms, ' and without prejudice to the honor of either party.' We write this while sitting without auy clothing, except our left stocking, and the rim of our hat encircling our neck like a ruff of the Elizabethan ra that article of dress hav-' iug been knocked over our head at an early stage of the proceedings, and the crown subsequently torn off, while the Judge is soppiug his eyes with cold water iu the next roo t., (a small boy standing beside tho sufferer with a basin,) aud glaucing w::h interest over the advertiss juetts iu the second page of the iS.m Diiifn HcraM, a fair copy of which was struck upon the back of his shirt at the time wo held him over the press."

Sixpenny Savings Ba&k. We copy the following interesting ex tract from an arUele iu the New York Tribune, ou the iSixpeuny Savings Dank. The first deposit was made July lU, and on the 7th iust., there had beeu o'.i'.H de posits made by 1G 18 depositors, amount ing to $UO,U84 57. The days of deposit are Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, from five to eight o'clock iu the evening. The officers are President, Zadock Pratt; Vice President", Elijah 1'. Purdy and William Adams ; Secretary, Jauics J. Sloan; with a Hoard of Trustees, thirty tix iu number. If you desire to spend an hour of en joyment in witnessing the working of one of the best moneyed institutions cvdr de vised in this country, for the benefit of the poor, you may drop iu at the corner of liroadway aud Anthony streets, this even ing, between 5 and h o'clock. We have had a good many ragged schools, but here is a ragged child's bank literally a six penny savings bank, where a great many of the depositors comiueuce with a six pence or a shilling. Put go and see to day, as we did last Saturday, the little boys and girls, the day laboring man or woman, black and white, old and young, coming to lay up the earnings of the week, where they will be safe from tha tempta tions of Sunday a day upon which more rum is sold, more drunkards made, more crimes committed, more families rendered miserable, thau auy other day. This in stitution is oue of the great aids of those who are engaged throughout the city in the work of temperance aud reform, let VOLUME X NO ZD. Whole Number, 501. not one iu ten of thclu aro are aware of iu existence, or if they arc tLcy do not ap preciate the advantage to their protoges enough to encouragr- them to deposit all their spare change every wei k in the Fix Penny Savings Bank. When this ono has proved it-lf successful, we shall havo them all over the city, gathering up and saving many a hard earned dollar. At our visit we noticed more than cue wife and a hard working husband, who coulj keep sober all the week while employed, but who could not resist the temptation to spend his money ou Sunday. A great portion of the deposits made while we were present, were by boys of ten or tdxieen years old, who bore evident marks of having just received the iuony for their work. In several cases it wls brought iu parcel as they received it, and gave us a deal of pleasure to see the de positor count out the sum actually neces sary to reserve for his board, Jfcj., to a shilling, depositing the balance. Among the rest came a bright-eyed, pretty girl, perhaps a dozen years old, and with her a little boy of a less number of a less number of years. She gave her name as Sarah Berry, residence, Green street, her father a cirtuiau, and mother an occasional washer, by which she had been able t save a fow shillings from family expenses which she gave her daugh ter from time to time to deposit. Now she was iu high glee, for she had brought enough to make up three dollars, when it would draw interest. It would be accu mulating. " Is this your brother ?" " No, sir; he is a little boy that lives in the same house, and he has heard of the Sixpenny Savings Bank, and has como to deposit a quarter dollar that his father gave him, and he is going to try to make three dollars pretty soon, lie will save every cent. 5Iy father, and his father too, will save, and give ns to deposit." "What is your name, tuy fiue little fellow V "John Deer, sir." " Well, yon are a dear little fellow. And so yon want to put your money in me about it, and then JS told my mother, and she said iho was willing, and so is my father, and here is the quarter, sir." " Yes. Can you write f " " Yes sir. I can write my name." " Very well, write it there. Now there is your bank-bojk. Good bye. You can come Monday, Thursday, or Sturday,aay time we shall always be glad to see you." This is a specimen of the manner of ex Alderman Purdy to the little children whe come to male their deposits. We veutur to say that no man in New York that da;, felt so prond and happy over his bank book as those two little children. Rev. Ma. Bekcuek.
