Our manufacturer.! alroady gorge our mar kets periodically. A few years ago no oihci than ingrain carpets wera made licro, and al ready tho Huppiies of tapeutry and Hue curpuli glut the markets, as is nhown by tho prices. Carpets are fre-picntly Been as low as fortj cents a yard, even on Uroadway, which for merly commaudod S'- to t'-i a yard here. Labor waving machinery, of which tho American! have great acutenesa, immediately attends thj introduction of any manufacture). It was but a few years ago that Bilk wan first woven ia Patterson, N. J., and I a; i told that tho iu crwa.se of improvements in tho weaving ma chinery far surpasses tho increase of tho man ufacture itself, no that tho machinery is rap idly thrown out and now dovicea adopted. Tlio attention of a large part of tho world i given to inventions. Inventors aro far morn common hero than in any other country of tho world at any period, and it has bocome a larg business among men of capital to stimulate patent rights. I made a trip recently through a very Hmall street in the money portion of the city, and found three buildings crammed with pattcru makers, most of thoin working for men with offices in the vicinity of Wall street. Tlio lat est agony in patents is the storing of electricity iu small piles of motal, covered, it is said, witA a red oxide of lead. In thin way electricity ti collected, just as gas for burning purposes ij stored in the gasometer; and thus tcrriti.i power, either for lighting or heating or me chanics, is contained in thof-o email ware houses. The sources of the mechanical talent of thin country are not only native, but foreign. In ventors like a society vvhich adopts new sug gestions and articles readily, and tho tendency of democratic institutions here is to open every man's office to a stranger with a new idea. Tho very necessaries of life are with difficulty forced upon old communities. I have seen men in Liverpool who were two or three yaara introducing Amorican starch, farina, and the products of corn, because trade does not relax, nor do the people yearn for novelties in old settled societies, where economy must be tho law of life. Here novelties are rather pre ferred to old standards, and consequently thu mechanical talent of all countries, Franco per haps excepted, looks toward America, i'hn average German mechanic, who never opened his mouth in the old world, gets an andiencu with a new idoi here. The effort of our manufacturers under tho double etimulatioa of the tariff and machinery must bo toward a re-opening of our foreign commerce. Large interests in the interior of tho country have ceased to be reliable. The mines in Nevada, for instance, poured out fo twenty years or more a supply of gold and sil ver that had no parallel; but everv effort madu to discover similar deposits has heen unsuc cessful. The lumber interests ia this country, though still large, begins to be a source of an noyance to us from its decline; and the time iy close at hand when mamifacturers-tmust re place wood as house-building ma.erial. Thin is shown in the rapid growth of the tile inter est I was given in Ohio recently a package ol samples of encaustic tile, and the factory in which they are made employs l-r0 hinds, haa plentv of orders coming from as far east an New lorb and iJoston, is shout to be extended, and is said to be one of tbo most perfect shopa of its kind. The large buildings in Now York are using American hies for their floors to re place wood, and the .British tile-makers hav been compelled to rent expensive ofiices in dif ferent parts of the city to display their ware ayd meet the competition. The growth of th a sthetic craze here ia shown in tho enormous consumption of pottery from both Asia and Europe, and tho corresponding activity of tht American pottery works is inevitably attended with an increase of tariff ratea, as happened but the other day. The best market in th world for British, French and German china and other wares has been tho United States; but the tariff was aimed at this trade last week, and the result must be tlio importation of su perior mechanics from abroad, and the final glutting of our markets with home china. .Manufactures are already advancing beyond the Mississippi river, and the census figures as to tho relative increase of city population ovei country people is a proof of the manufacturing tendency. Men do not only throng to thotowui for comfort, but for occupation, and city life multiplies the manufacture of luxuries and ol artistic things. America has parsed beyond the cruder manufactures, such as iron, glass and woolen goods, and taken up the smaller spec ialties, such as brass work, bronze work, rugs, lamps and whatever ornaments private home? and public resorts. Within the past two or three years our wealthy men have been mak ing largo purcnases of paintings in Europe, and mimeuiately the alert manufacturing in terest claps tho tariff higher on, and the reeoll ought to be, if not an improvement in Amer ican art, the importation of foreigners to paint here. The modern world of manufactures is regu lated by a low-er class socially than in other yean. ' The element t:iat once had no position ?nd was not a consumer of any versatilities is now in the cousuming class. The growth of taste has extended with wages to the furthest isles and nrovinces, and the Americans have a great advantage in. such markets by thoir thor oughly democratic t-iucation. The designs on calico's, for instance, introduced here through the various small schools of design in the country, were found in India to be immediate ly acce'ptab'e to the improved grade of labor, while the old standards of design, unchanged froi veur to year in England, were reje"ted. Tne wbola world has had a social rovolution We m.d ' our chores to-day a deputation from Madagascar. We behold tie king of Belgium ia a mercantile euterpris?, committed to an American explorer, havn.g for its object the growth of trade, the go. ting of raw materials, and tho return of in nr. t. -.enures for them. Such trips aa .lay Gould is about to make in a yac'at a roiii id the world illustrate the tendency in this country to looit elsewhere for business and opoiiings." Whiia the foremast sr-:u!ator in tho country g-vis aronnd tlio world, it may b inferred that ha is loosing for other world to connuer. The iealonsy of the me hanical class in this country of foreign competition on our sod is another proof that these i i;v.nt gluts in the m iiinfacturiug busintj are seek ing outlet :.nd correction. Europe, aa a '.lia:? toloo.i at, is antiim&tcd with a laru rortin of j5fct raveling public, v uo are liow uirectirg their attention to otlier countries India Afric i and Asia. The t.i riff iu America will yield more to the ne.es.-iry for equitable trade conditions with other couutries than to the dentin J ot con sumers hero. For some little while to come we snail still have too good a thing to surren der our market to distant competition ; bnt when we want to break into another zone oar ultra protective system will irritate the manu facturers here as "much as it o ice did the spin ners of Manchester and tho cntlerB of Sheftield. New Engh.nd gives this country very little trouble altout protective- duties at present, finding that the west is shutting her off from formecmarkeuj, Distance jp jn vtaelf a groat protection In Atnoiica, and thU Is why Ohio and Indiana tire able to compete with Nuw England, having food supplies ou the fpot and distance in their favor.

Through puidic iiif'.n mation, road i ng and social iutorcoiiis't the northern belt of tho United states has It'Oii transformed within tho past ten yoar-i, and tho siniplo nqua.ro parlors of old times, with a few stiff portrait will longer do. 1 he cultivation of home has Ihjcoiho general, and design is in le quest oven moro than literature. A booksel ler lately told me that what is called Americana or old look oa American subjecta had boen a drug in the market for sevoral yearn; and, now nai I he, it is the dearest thing in tlo country. Men aspire to own something in dicative of tate, an I go into specialties for recreation and self -dignity ; while the women, who h.ivo nio.o and letter homes in this Cjiin'rv thin elsewhere, have lnxrnod to orna ni' iit 'iiciu and this ta"e for ornamentation has gone into the clubs, and even into the bar rooius.

Hid Story or the IJioodj Battle of Frank lin, Tenn. Tho "BIoHt Desperate Hand to JIund Contest of the War. A correspondent of The Cincinnati Enquiiei recently visited tho baUlo field of Franklin. Tennessee, in company with Gen. Cheatham, who commanded a Confederate corps in tho action of tho :;(th of November, lStil. Gon Cheatham said: "I had the largest corps ia that army sonio thing less than nino thousand men. Hood's disposition of his forces for that fight was: Tho corps I was directing on tho left and center, Stewart's corps on my light, and Stephen D. Lee's corps in reserve. My dis position was: Gen. liato ou tho extreme loft, Gen. John C. Urown with my old division on tho left of tho Columbia rike, with his right resting on that road, Cleburne- on tho right of the same pike, with his left resting on it. As Gen. IJato had a long road around to tho lcft.I waited some time after ho started befora giving tho order to advance. Finally tlio lino move 1 forward. Drown and Cleburne were to stop as they reached tho open fields r.t tho foot of Winstoad's hilL I rode forward to ita sum mit as they moved, and established my head quarters there, and w aited for tho troops to pass over." "It was the grandest sight I ever saw when our army marched over tho hill and readied the open field at its baHe. Each division un folded itself into a single line of battle with aa much steadiness as if forming for . dress par ade," said ex-Governor Porter, who was in those days General Cheatham's chief of staff. He was looking over tho hill from Wiustead'c Hill as ho spoke, and seemed to recall the events of tho day, and again pass them in re view before his mind's eye. "A3 I look ovci this field to-day," ho continued, St feems ae though I can almost witness tho pageant- ovei again. The men were tired, hungry, footsore, ragged, and many of them barefooted, 1ml their spirit was admirable. Bear in mind thai it was the lirst time the two divisions of Cheat ham's corps Cleburne's and Brown's had met side by side in full view of each other iu an open field, with tho advantages for desper ato work equally balanced between them. Foi years each had contended for tho right to we.ii tho name of the crack division of that army, and the fact's of both men and ofiicers sccitiec! to say: 'II ore is tho field upon which the right shall bo decided.' r "Yos," broke in General Cheatham, Kfigh! was in not only those two divisions, but in the whole army that day. Don't you remember, Porter, that as they wheeled into line of battle, in full view of the enemy, their precision and military bearing was as beautifal a sight as was ever witnessed ia war? I could see that the Federal lino waa short and curved, and I know we could easily cover it by going forward ia lir.o of battle by- brigados. So this information was mado before the time to charge came." fcUoforo moving our troops from Winstead's Hill I hr.J arranged with both Cleburne and Brown, the two divisions under my eye, to give them the word with a flag whon to move. When their linos swung into position they cor rected their alignment and then faced toward mo, waiting for the B'gnal to advance. A moment of suspense to see that every Tiling was ready, then tho flag dropped, and tho line moved forward as stoady as a clock. It was two miles and a quarter from the starting point to tve main Federal line, and our advancing column was in full view from Gen. Scho.'ield's Position and from the intrenched line of tho uion troops at the Carter house nearly every foot of tho war. My twenty-four pieces of artillery followed the advancing troops,and oc casionally dropped a shell into tho Federal lines. There was no halt from the time our force started until it struck the Federal breastworks. A regiment was thrown out as ekirmishors in advance of each of my divisions. They struck Wagner's two brigades posted a half muo in advance of the main position, and as they gave way our main line followed them right in, on to the Federal breastworks. I lost hardly a man uatil within fifty yards of the Federal iutrcuchmems. Tho fleeing men from the two brigades posted in their front kopt tho fire off from our troops until aftei their men got beliind the main lino. Our line of battle followed them in. Tho Federals could not fire upon it until it was within very close range. Our advancing line must have been visibly not only to the Federal command ers, but t.j all of their troops in the fortifica tions for nearly an hour before it struck Wag ner. Had it "not been for tho protection tho two brigados thai were in advance gavo our men Cox would have mowed my lino with ar tillery from the moment I started until I reached his main works. As it was, our trJfcps marched for an hour in fuil view of the enemy without any molestation to speak of, except a little harmless artillery-fire from the fort where bchofield had his head-quarters. Tho same may be said of Stewart's corps that was on my right, and also in full view. 1 followed and watched the line very cloely, and then took up my headquarters on Merrill's hill, a sharp knob within musket rango of tho fight Hood was just back of me on the pike. "It would be impossible to describe tho oper ations on this field after the men got together. It was the bloodiest battle of the war. I lost six general officers killed and two wounded. Cleburne was our greatest loss. He was a cap ital soldier. He had some unpleasantness alout Spring Hill with Hood, and I think was a little more daring than usual that day. It was reported to me that he had some words W'th the commander of the army just befor going into battle. Tho charge of the two divis ions of my civps, my old division commanded by Gen. "J. 0. Brown a?:d Cleburne's com manded bv himself, was one of tho most des perate and gallant of all the war. Arms were trailed until time to give the steel came, when the order to charge was given simultaneously by Cleburne and Brown. The men marched to the terrible work with perfect precision and great spirit and determination. Cle burne's horse was killed under him just after the charge began. With sword in hand he sprang to the front of his men, encouraging them with his words and example. Jnst before he reached the Federal works ho was shot dead. Poor fellow, ho never reached the enemy's earthworks toward which he was le.riiiM hi- inen. He feil rixht here," said the old general, . B he pointed to a spat not far from th.i oi 1 gin-house. "Hero ono of th i l e-t .s.!i,:ers th it ever drew a sword give up his li'." Tiie veteran's eyes mois teaed as he look-id at the place iu the open field where his n i: nd w is slain, but Mr. Car tor, wdio own the f irm, has m.v k rd the spot, as ev rv one wh v.sits thi field aka: Where did Pat'C'leb.iriie die It is now obscrnred by tha footprints of pevca After a momoiit Gen.

Jobn Adams, of Stewart's corps, was kdled or. his horse astride the Fed eral breastworks. Scott of the same corps, w as also si ;in r.ear there. Geo. Cockrell, now United States senator from Missouri and Ge.n. ti.iarles were also wounded there. Stewart's corps did desperate w uk that day, and fully divided the honors with my own troops. Brown who eominiuded myoid division, was vwunded early ia the fight, alter Cioburna wai killed; and of my brigade comrn mders Gordon was captured, Graui-erry, Gist, Strahl and Carter were killed a greater mortality of general of ficers than was ever known during tno war when an equal nuxnherot' troops were engaged? The corps I commanded lost eight generals, killed and wounded, and Stewart lost five. About dajk Ejl John's division, of Stephen ft. I .ou'n corps, that was In re-orvo, was" sent to the Htipport of Brown au 1 did some bard tight- . lug. Una Mauigault, of that division, was wounded. Gen. Bate, who went to the left, had a long ana rough roaa to travel to roaoh las 1nition, but ho went Into battle on the laft unt atxiut dark and had a sharp engagement "Artillery played but a small part in this bat tle. We had very hitle channs to nse ours, i cept oaring tho advance, and ths Federals had very little chanco to use theirs. The artillery in tho fort on tho opposite bank of the river did a little damage to Stewart, but that a about all. "It would be impoHsibla to describe this bat tle, for it was fought in sueh clona quartern, and the work was no exacting upon Loth ar mies, that theie was not a second for hernia tion and thought From tho moment Wagner's two brigades got behind tho main line, so that they could shoot without killing their own men, tho Union troops poured a most destruc tive fire into our ranks. Gen. Brown, on the left of tho pike, from tho direction iu which wo were advancing, carried a portion of the first line of earthworks in the first chargo, anil held his advantage to the last Ha also pushed thu whole of his lino right up against tho Federal works, and so intrenched him self that the fighting men were so close together that they could reach across from one line to the other. Brown's division suffered terribly. He gained position and held it under the most trying circumstances." Cox's position was naturally a strong one, and he added to its strength by taking advan tage of every point in building his earthworks. Tho line which Brown struck sloped quite sharply to the left from the cotton gin around beyond the Carter house. The earthworks on the right-hand side of the pike, as he ap proached, were so built that the force in it could enfilade his whole line as it reached the Federal position on tho left of tho piko. As BrOwn charged it a terrible enfilading lire from these works was poured into his men. It was vory destructive, and to save themselves as much as possible his troops made breast-works of the dead bodies of their fallen comrades until they could throw up earth to protect themselves. "The battle was short, but desperate. I lost a greater number of men, according to tho nuuiler engaged, than in any battlo of tho war, except Murfroesboro. Tho real fight only lasted about two hours, but there were sharp asuaiilta on both sides until 10 o'clock. AIout eleven tho Federals withdrew, and about two o'clock I made into the town and got sonie tli.ng to eat, the first I had tasted th it day. .lust at daybreak I rode upon the field, ami Hindi a sight 1 never saw and can never expect to sco again. Tho dead were piled up like shocks of wfceat, or scattered about like sheafs of grain. Tho lieivo flame of battle had nearly all been confined within a range of flftv yards, exvept tho cavalry tight on tho other side of thu river. Almost under your eye, nearly all tho dead, wounded and dying lay. In front of tho Carter house" the bodios lay in heaps, and to tho right of it a locust thicket bad boon mowed off by bullets, as if by a scythe. It was a wonder that any man escaped alive from that storm of iron misi-.iles. A man who counted tho dead told me that there were over fifteen hundred lnidiea in the narrow space on tho right and left of tho piko; .KJ0 Confederates and something over six hun dred Union. I spent two years in the Mexican war and four years iu tho lato conflict I never caw anything "like that field, and never waut to again. "It is all over now, and those aro only re flections upon a sad subject. 1 did not come hero to talk thorn, but to show you the position of our troops and point out where wo began and ended. This is the lirst time I have visited this battle-field since the fight took place, and I have talked more of the events of the war to-day than during all the past fiftoen years. I have never read a true story this battle. It will be hard to writo one. I should have added, to 7hat I said about a visit to tho field next morning at daybreak that wo buried the dead, cared for the wounded men of both sides as best we could, and then moved on to the battle at Nashville " ITiie Value of Willow Wood. Fopnlar Science Monthly. On account of ita comparative incombusti bility, the willow is eminently useful for tlio floors of buildings dosignod to bo lire-proof. It grows to a large size arid furnishes a great amount of lumber. There is a white willow growing at Stockbridge, Mass., which, at four feet from tho ground measures twenty -two feet in circumfereniend extends its branches fifty feet in every direction. Tradition savs it was brought from Connecticut in 1W7 Lv a traveler, who used it as a riding switch. Tho Hon. Jesse W. Fell, in giving an account of ex periments in tree planting on au extensive scale ia Illinois, says: "''ro I called upon to designate one tree which., marc than all others, 1 would recommend for gouoral planting, I would say. unhesitatingly, it should be the white willow." Prof. Brewster eays: "In England, where it is often fifty or sixty feet high in twenty years, there is no wood in "greater demind than good willow. It is light, vory tough, soft, takes a good finish, will bear more pounding and knocks than any other wood grown there, and is used for cricket bats, for floats to paddle wheels of steamers, and brake blocks on cars. It is used extensively for turning, planking, coasting vessels' furniture, ox yokes, woode.i legs, shoe lasts," etc. Fuller says: "It gro.v cth incredibly fast, it being a by" word that tho profit by willows w ill buy tho owner a horse before that by o:hcr trees will pay for a sad dle." The basket willow. w !l cultivated, will yield a net income of ? i r.r year to tho acre. On the whole, therefore, it would seem that the various kinds of wt'lov. tho economic value of which lias been hitherto entirely over looked in our country, are eminently deserving of attention, and will amply reward tho-is who cultivate them.
