2 THE MILWAUKEE NEWS, OCTOBER, 1864. AT. Lincoln Portrayed by his Political ad- herentg. Last spring somei dozen or more republican of the United States senate and republican members of the bouse of representatives united in issuing an appeal to the country agaicBb the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. appeal vras drawn up by a committee, was by the others, and then was ordered to be published, not anonymously, but over the signature of the chairman of the conclave, who was rfo other than Senator C.

Pomeroy of Kansas. The following Are some of the reasons given in this document why Mr. Lincoln ought not to be re-elected: HE CANNOT SUPPRESS THE REBELLION. The people have lost all confidence in his ability to suppress" the rebellion and restore the Union. It is impossible to put out of view the fact that there is a general feeling of disappointment in Jhe loyal north, that after such a wasting ot its precious blood, and euch a vast expenditure of treasure, the rebellion continues unsubdued and all the promises of the administration time and again for its speedy overthrow have been falsified.

THE NATION MORTIFIED AND HUMBLED. The truth is that there is no man who does not wear the livery of office or is not in the pay oi the general government, who does not feel mortified and humbled that our bation with its twenty millions of loyal people In the north, with four millions of auxiliaries in the south, to say nothing of a large host of Union men thWe, has not yet succeeded in overthrow Dead Horses and their Uses.

The bodies upon their arrival, are immediately divested of their hides, which, after being salted, are disposed of to the tanners. The hair of mains and tails is washed and dried, and the larger part of the best quality exported to Europe, where it is manufactured into haircloth. Ihe residue is disposed of in pur own markets, and is used in various articles of commerce, but chiefly as curled hair.

After the hide is removedxthe body IB divided into small parts and conveyed to the tanks, These tanks are eleven in number, and capable of containing 140 bodies. Each tank has a connected with it, and these pipes are supplied with steam from a boiler of great capacity and power. The tanks are filled with flesh, and water is let into them from a Woodward pump, which answers the double service of engine and pump. Tor nine hours the- meat is steamed. At the end of that time the covers of the vats arc removed, the'oil is taken from the surface, and, after being cooled and strained, is put into barrels and sent to market.

From a careful compilation of reports during the week, we find that some sixty-four of the bruin species have been seen within the area of about one mile from our public square.

The number actually killed during the time averages only about one each day. According to the reports very many have been pursued by men and boys with every conceivable kind of weapon, from a pitchfork to a six barrel rifle. Our postmaster, C.

i INDIAN yearii ago, when a gentleman from the central part of New Hampshire was in the Pequawket country, attending to his property near the village of Fryeburg, a company of Indians from the Penobscot tribe came there for a temporary abode, and pitched their tents on an elevation near the Saco river. In passing to his lands he noticed squaw kneeling to pick strawberries, anq creeping to different parts of the patch that furnished tho fruit. Her, attitude struck him as singular; but he concluded she "took that'pasture as most convenient for. the purpose! On 3 return she had disappeared, and be supposed bad gqne to sell bei-rios. -Lut as ho approached the settlement, he observed the imusua-l! sighs of an Iiidiin carrying a squaw on his buck.
