Mr.. NOBLE, CT Indiana, who came

his vote recorded in the affirmative
but the senate decided it not to be in
order.
Mr.. BARBOUR, of Va. and MIR. JOHN

Four States, viz: New-Hampshire,
Connecticut, Newly ork and Alabama,
have each but one member in the Sc

Of the eighteen votes from the nine
Western States, five only 1.-TWO from
Tennessee, two from Mississippi, and
one from Illinois) were given against
Mr.. Clay.
AS the proceedings on this occasion
were with closed doors, we were pre-
vented, Of course, from hearing what
reasons, if any, were assigned by the
gentlemen who were in the negative, for
opposing this nomination: We think,
however, that the opposition was ra-
Their of personal character, growing
out of the unpleasant occurrences Of
the past winter, than one founded on a
belief of Mr.. Clay's unftness for the
Office. No member of that body can
doubt his talents or his integrity; he
has given too many proofs Of both, to
permit either to be called in question

COMMUNICATIONS.

The press alluded to below is probably improv-
ed upon, and will be superseded by the use of a
rack and pinion, which is worked by hand with a
wheel and lever; moving a horizontal beam by
which the cotton is pressed this press is said TO
operate to good effect and with speed as made with
the machinery ofwood, but to obtain more power,
the proprietor is now substituting iron rack
and pinion. A more particular description may
hereafter be given.
COTTON PRESS.
In company with some of our citizens, few
days ago, at Mr. Stokes, we witnessed the OPERA
| ton OF machine, invented by gentleman of this
vicinity, intended to facilitate the mode of Press
ing Cotton into bales. This machine has been in
use but short time; but such are its advantages,
| added to its economy, that have no doubt it
VIII supercede all other inventions in relation 10 the
Packing of Cotton Two bales were packed while
we were present; the first, containing $50 lbs was
pressed In two minutes; the other, containing $50
lbs. was pressed in less than three minutes; and
when the attendants become versed in the mode of
sewing up the bagsing, we doubt not but that a
bale can be pressed, sewed, and corded in from IS
TO 80 minutes.
This Press, for which patent has beeu obtain
ed, is the invention of MIR. Webb Hart well known
IN this section of country for several useful i'm
provements and inventions in Gris and other mills.
The only objection we heard advanced to this
patent press, was the size of the chamber con-
tanning the bale. The present size is not the best
calculated for stowage on board of ships, being too
short.-The addition of few more inches in the
depth OF the machine, the expense of which would
be inconsIderabe would render the bale that ex-
act size, which our shippers would prefer, and
which could bein no way detrimental to the Crow
er or the Packer of cotton.

already appeared in the American Farmer and
Richm ond Enquirer, 1.-TWO papers of extensive cir
culation in this safe and North Caroinal we shall
not attempt to give explanation of the machine

which we alude. if we could procure the ehgrav-

tain These charges relate to the transportation o
specie, and the neglect of his public dulles in IN,
pursuit Of pirates. Com. Porter says, that on ,h.
point, the Court of Inquiry was ordered TO give an
oplnion-and that no further proceedings are in
tended to be had OIL the charges oftheSe gentle
men, and that there is every reason to believe that
the government thinks their charges as groundless
as k''o,c them TO be- elf they are tyue, the
opinion of the Court will sustain them, if they are
not the public will decide on the propriety of the

ing" wish nothing concesled | ask no indul-
gence; my conduct is before the public free for

accusing me, 4 hare nothing to fear.''
We understand from Washington, that up TO
the 18th inst, Commodore Porter had not been ar
rested-thst no charges had been preferred against
him: nor had any court been ordered.
In publishing the Commodore defence, we took
1t for granted that it had been delivered before the
court, and gave that caption to it We did not
particularly advert to the brief advertisement in
which he says he "was driven from the presence
OF the court and prevented from making the ex-
plantations which he founded his ius,iica,ions -
THIS error certainly originated with u.s.
The papers from Boston to Charleston, S. G.

ges OF the late storm. 1t was felt more severely

Granville, Newark, Urbsnna and other places sus-

nary destruction and violence OF this tempest The
details which reach us from the sea coast and the
INTERIOR OF the ravages Of these hurricanes, would
fill small volume.
