FLAX MACHINE.

yHessrs. Websters.
Noticing in The New York Statesman of the 10th
inst. an interesting account Of new invented fax
machine by Mr.. Goodrel, of Oneida county, and
being informed that the one which has been exhi-
bited the week past at Greenbush opposite to this
city, is the same machine, have examined it with
attention, in company with several members OF the
legislature. We were all satisfied it will be found,
In practical operation, the important desderstun to
remove the principal obstacle to an extensive cul-
tnre Of flax, only for domestic purposes, but for
e xportaon in manufactured state to the southern
states and South America. From the simplicity
and solidity ofts construction, its cheapness, and
the rapidly with which one man performs three
separate processes in cleaning flax, the whole per-
formed in less than one minute) In so small q ma
chine, not exceeding in VT. 200 lbs that it cannot fail
to fulfil that public expectation which is so strongly
excited. In proof OF its importance. it was exami-
ned al Roboken by The British and Russian ambas-
sadors--they not only engaged Mr.. Goodrich 10 pro-
coed to Europe with his machine, but actually paid
his passage, as an inducement. He has in
uuence sailed IN the last packet. 1t is earnestly
wished that own country will also profit largely
by the invention that the culture OF flax and hemp
will be greatly extended this year in all directions
that presidents Of agricultural societies and the
board Of agriculture will cause TO patronze the
introduction Of The machines. Samuel S~artwout,

Of that line was sold TO three gentlemen OF Ontario
county, including the New England states, with the
exception of Connecticut. Il is well known that
cotton was cultivated in Georgia upwards of50 years
ago, merely for domestic purposes, and that the
introduction of Whitney's machine called the cot
ton Jenny has been the direct cause ofits becoming
the most valuable staple Of the United States for
expectation. 1t probable GoodreIs aax and hemp
machine will produce results equally important in

were opposed to slavery, to leave the state be-

the gentleman who presided at that dinner, he
incidentally mentioned to us, that certain
person had run away, and crossed the Missis-

that at least, one of the party, who
gave "three, cheers" was disposed to first
set the example of leaving the state. He has
since returned.
