Patrick's Cathedral, and for his cfii cicnt defence of tho Union and tho Gov ernment from the commonr-emr nt of the rebellion till the present time. Tho threat has been accompanied by certain circumstances which lead to the belief that tho secessionists are in earnest, and hence tbe vencrabte prelate has declared it his duty to make distant allusion thereto in his newspaper organ, the Me tropolitan Kecord, of to-day. The Arch bishop, it seems, lias discovered the au thorship of at least one of the communi cations or "warnings" referred to, 'which was signed "Mount St. Mary." The Itecord says: "Tho author has ' three weeks to w ithdraw it in Ids own name, and not as 'Mount St. Mary's.' , If h6 will not do so, he, will have the consola tion of reading it in print." Porous WATEK-rnooi' Cloth.- This quality tho Scientific American Says, ii given to cloth by' imply passing ii through m hot solution ot weak glue and alum. This is what is done by paper makers to make writing paper, the Tery thing- which constitutes the difference between it and blotlirjpr paper, only on cloth the nap, like tho fur of the leaver, will preserve the cloth from being wet through, as the rain will not adhere, but trickle off us soon 'as it falls, and mois ture will not adhere at all. To apply it to the cloth, make tip ft weak solution of glue, and whilo it is hot add a piece of alum, about an ounce to two quarts, and then brush it over the surface of the cloih while it is hot, and it is afterward dried. Cloth in pieces may be run through this solution and then wrung out tif it nd dried. Dy adding' ft few pieces of soap to the glue, the, cloth will leel much softer. Goods in pieco may be run through a tubful of weak glue, soap, and alum, and squeezed between rollers. This would bo a cheap and expeditious mode of pre paring1 them. Woollen goods arc pre pared by brushing1 them with the ftbovo mixture, first on the inside, then with the grain or nap of tho cloth, alter which it is dried. It is best to dry this first in the air, and then in n stove-room at a low heat, but allow the cloth to remain for a con siderable time to expel all tho moisture completely. This kind of cloth, while suiliciently jvater-proof to i keep out moisture and rain being quite impervi ous to water is pervious 10 me air. Many Lshernien know:that by boiling their pants, jackets, nets, and sails iu a pot with oak bark and tish skins, and af terwards drjingthein,thcy become water proof. The composition luentioned above is nearly of the same nature as the llsh glue and oak bark, and consequently the same effects are produced. The composition is stated to bo im proved by adding about one-tourth tho quantity of the sulphate of copper to the alum. Cloth made of waterproof iu this manner will resists tho til'eet of water even if it is sometimes warm, but it looses its waterproof qualities if boiled, i'er sons who aro exposed to tho inclemency of tho weather will lind it to their ad vantage, as a means ef preserving health, to prepare their clothes ia the way we havo described. Several corps iu the French army are provided witli porous warerproof of cloth tuna s prepared in similar manner. They have bi eafouud very benelicial when the troops ate in active service.

Its main street ran parallel w ith the river for one and a half miles the dwellings were evidently the homes i of taste, comfort and happiness. Two large strain mills for the manufacture of lum ber and Hour, one wind planing mill, and ono brewery, nn"orded at once market and employment. Hut all has fallen, awful ly fallen! The utter ruin expressed by llomer when he said "Tnytt fuit", i al most truo of this place New Ulm was. This beautiful village i now but a small rltnter of building, about one hundred fins F'iuar. i.iosuy . iminuaOiiea wl.cn weca.'ne, but by the pre since of an arm ed soldiery & feeling of security leads many to return who had been driven hence, and many others who had fled from their farms in tho region beyond, so that the town is now quite filled to over flowing. ' The village is protected with rude but sullicient defenses and a liberal detail of pickets from the three companies of sol diers and two companies of militia tern porarily Stationed here. All out side has been burned to ashes. ,Tho homes of a hundred families, with scarce ly an effort to save an article, have fall en before tho ruthless Indian, or tho stern necessity of mutual defense. The esti-. mated loss of property is about one and one half millions of dollars. , ., I The destruction seen here finds a sad counterpart in tho c-Ouulry around and beyond. Between this place and St.' Pe ter's," tho country is mostly deserted, in the panic, but not ravaged; but in the Country west and north, alone, the Cot tonwood IMver, the evil spirits of rapine and murder have done their perfect work. Scouts from fuy company have been in every direction, from five to twenty-five miles, ana all report the same ruin and dovastation--bnt very few houses left standing, and they are Sacked of every thing worth the trouble to steal or effort to ; destroy every bed ' and mattress, every blanket, spread and sheet, every article of wardrobe taken, every trunk broken open and spoiled, every article of provision carried oil-, every horsd driven away, nearly every house burned with every thing in it, and hundreds of families murdered or driven into a captivity worse than death. t - Hardly a harvest finished, the grain uncut, the reaper . standing where the horses were taken off in fright, or by the Indians; unbound the rake lying on the gave unahocked, nnstacked, every har vest field trodden under fool, and every corn-field ravaged by herds- of cattle which' will soon howl for food where no hand is left to give. Add to a'l this tho savage murders of individuals and whole famines wno nave lonj; lived in peace and quit and security, and w ho have thus fallen a swift prey to the Indian rifle, hatchet and scalping-knife antl the woe is complete. Instances of escape1 him I horror came to notice almost daily. There is in this vil lage one little boy, the only'survivor of a tanuly of eleven members, one child with four hatchet wounds in its head, through two of which the brain ' can be seen to pulsate ; one man only escaped, in a company of eight, ambushed by the In dians within the limits of the town ; one lady whoso husband, brother, brother-in law, and finsband's brother-in-law, fell in the last named number, one man, shot in the mouth with three rifle balls, yet lives and will live, though horribly man gled ; auoiher shot with seven balls; Captain Dodd, of St. Peters, shot dead from his horse, pierced with thirteen ri lle balls. These nre some instances of tho effects of tho attack on New Ulm. Tho prisoners carried away captive by tho Indians, were entirely women ami childreh. Tho elder wortten were mur dered, while the younger, outraged and stripped of every article of clothing were forced to march away with their captors. Litllo children wero hewn to chips 'be fore their mother's eyes, or nailed to the house or fence by the hand and feet, and left to linger out their littlo lives in ago ny. I nborn infants were rudely torn from their place, and fiung upon the bleed ing breast of their dying mothers. Moth er and children were scalped aud be headed, and placed in ghastly rows on the ground. In fact, every indignity and outrage, and atrocity which a fitnd could devise, and which have ever character ized Indian warfare, have been practised to the greatest extent tif uii a confiding and peaceful people. Pen and words utterly fail to depict these barbarities; it ha often been attempted, but never realized in description. Indiana Cotton and Molasses. ' We were shown, hint niubt, a lull boll of new cotton, raised by Mr. (ieoi-e W. '(Mark, of Scott1 county, Indiana.

Ptiily 11 oosicr Liraburg-fr Cheese, on How. to Pay t the P.eut.i :,..... It i admitted on all hand, especially in Washoe, that some of' the shrspest, fCT., . o be The ! cuiesi ana tarseemgest customers t met with, hail from San I'rancisco. The subject of this screed belongs M this class, andoui hero is tho daddy bf them V . 0 wr" o. "ftshoo Jia liarj riu.i'e ''i"e;;'' to sell, aim W,f" more fortuue seekers than any delegate our city had there, lie returned homo the other day, and before long had half a 'dozen irons in the fire. Ono of his speculations has a touch of fun in it, and w ill probably do to tell. A well known auctioneer on the corner of Lattery and I Vont streets, holds forth tri-weckly in a large a1cs roori, which is above a t.ne, spacious basement, cligibl" forfMoragu. The base ment at the time of which we write, was unoccupied, and the bill "To Pent," on the doar denoted the want of a tenant. Our friend from Washoe saw the placard and a speculation t once. He entered and " took a lease of the premises for three months. " The day alter the lease had been executed, a number of curi ous looking boxes wero carted to the door and stored in the basement, - The next day the auctioneer had a large gale, and his room was crowded with custom erg ; but before he had got fairly warm ed to his knocking down business an in tolerable odor began to permeate the apartment. The olfactories of the knight of the hammer were evidently not pe culiar, for his etiRtomcrs became restive ; handkerchiefs '.were pressed to noses, and sundry expression ihe of disgust, aBSuredJhim that air was horribly foul everywhere. At, length the atmosphere thickened,- and various jocular sugges tion about catting it with a kinfe, ac companied with the "cutting off" of the speakers, roused the auctioneer to the fact that his sale was being very serious ly injured. It was evident that the aroma came from tho basement, a fact ( that wa9 easily ferrcred out by the auc tioneer follow-in? his nose in that direc tion. ' Here he found our Washoe friend, coat off ftnd up to tho arm-pits in work. A number of boxes had been opened, and scattered over the lloor some cut iu two and others denuded of their canvass cov erings were several juicy packages of Limbourger cheese. Of course this dis covery at once explained the aromatic mystery. . . Auctioneer was savage wrtir rage. He would not allow such offensive articles to be' stored., in his basement. They must bo .removed at once. ."Washoe" was not of the same mind ; ho had leas ed the premises' for thb purpose of stor ing merchandise. "Aud if Limburger cheese" said he with a sly twinkle of tho eye, is not merchandise, what the devil is it" "It may come under tho head of mer- ciiandise,- replied tno auctioneer: "Out merchandise or .no merchandise, I'll be if you are goini: to make my nlace smell like a hog ranche. 1 want you to leave." . , "Washoe" couldn't think of it. "Vou see, my friend," he. continued, I've got several shipments of this arti cle consigned to me, and this is only a samploof it. I expect to make a splen did speculation out of it and to control the market beforo my lease expiree." "The devil you do?" "Oh yes," said Washoe with the ut most nonchalance; , "1 shouldn't . won der if I should get a contract to supply the ajmv with it." "lou shouldn't, eh? Well I n case you get a contract tu supply the. army, you intend to make this your depot, .1 pre dume'.'" "Certainly, on the strength of this ai ti do I hope to realize quite a sum " . "If you realize a sum commensurate with its strength, angrily suggested the auctioneer, it will be quite a sum." "That's my idea, too; what a coinci dence.". The auctioneer saw that he had caught a tartar, and foresaw ruin to his business if the cheese continued to arrive, but he was too shrewd himself not to know that "Washoe" had tho law of him, so he determined to compromise, "Washoe" agreed to leave in consideration of a handsome bonus, which was gladly paid down, the leaso canceled, and thu Lim buruer cheese taken away. . We have not been informed as to where the cheese has been removed; but if "Washoe" hasn't based a basement on the east side of Montgomery street, some where between California and Sacramen to, then a sewer has "broken looso" that's all Cul K: It will be gratifying to the frijisijs of Prig. -Oen.

Writes: "You all remember lariiia, thfu nambulist. Well, last Spring Farina Wan at Washington. He had originated an army bridge, constructed of ropes on Iho Piondin type. I won't describe it in de tail, but it was a single cable on which was a single plank, and had a rope hand rail on each si hy all guyed to steady, it. Farina built many funanibulistio and aerial castles on his Inventiou. It was exhibited to Bonie one from the War Ie pai -Unent, and favorably reported aipon. Put Farina suggested and added, im provements, and accomplished the attend ance of Old Abe, General Scott, members of the Cabinet, a member of other dig nilaries, and a bery r f lady spectators. Farnia was in his glory, all emjles apd politenesss, and sanguine of success. The rope bridge was strung over tho canal at a considerable height from the green and filthy wafer. Troops were in attendance detailed to test th contriv ance. They began moving iiv single? flic, and quite a squad had crossed, the bridge was crowded with them, when, hor ror of horrors, tho brldire suddenly r.an- sied, spilling- the poor fellows down in the slime, .home hung on momniept and then dropped down among their com panions. Tho cry of alarm was soon discovered to bo groundless, for the men began creeping on shore, Woefully innddy and bedraggled. ' i Farnia at lirsl looked on dumbfonad- ed, " but" said he, in narrating the ad venture,"! saw that that was the death of my army bridge; so I let out the laugli that was bursting mo. Old Abe-looked at me a moment and then laughed ; the gallant old General, Cobinet ministers. ami tames lonowoci, and there was an Executive -chorus. Nothing, was eaitl about the bridge by any of us. - Tho in specting party went home, and I didnot press tlie bridge matter any further." Farina added, with a sigh,' " but' I the bridge was a good one for all that." Flax Cotton. Some time ago we look occasion to notice several fino samples oY Has ootton which were shown its by lit. S.
