AMERICAN GENIUS.

We are not little grati6ed to learn, from
the New York Statesman, that the long sought
principle Of labor saving in spinning silk, FAX,
and hemp Of graduated fineness,for which large
premiums have been offered by various Euro
pean governments, and societies established
for the promotion of the useful arts, is now a
5ou,to be brought into practical operation BY
the talents and genius Of an American citizen.
An ineeniously constructed machine, to attain
this important object, is now exhibiting in New
York. II is declared 10 be adapted 10 the spin
ming of fax, hemp, or silk, and is constructed
on the most simple, certain and safe principles.
and may be easily suited to the manufacture Of
sail cloths, linen, cambrickS, and silk, or adapt
ed, by enlargement, to abe manufacture oil cor
dage It's advantages over other imprcyef
Inents cannot, without the sight OF the model
be clearly delineated TO the lnquirlng and OPP
erative mechanic. The fax, hemp, or SIX, is
10 be cleansed or hatcheied, and its hbres
properly divided and placed on the machine,
when a small instrument, called feeder, takes
il I'D and passes il between others which are
connected with spindles, when itPasses through
another singular and curious revolving IN
strument called the eyener, which twists and
untwists (if necessary the thread, ii too large
from any cause, or from defect in the flax, and
puts il into thread of any fineness or coarSeneSs
desired, and at one single operation, from
fax, hemp or silk, which ever may be used
The machinery may be multiplied similar
20 the principle ofspinning cotton. tits thought
20 be admirably adapted to the eastern, middle
and southern states, as we'll as for private ana

and although the death Of Col. Sharp kas cost
US both our lives, yet, strange as II may seem TO
some I can never regret it. No, would delib-
erately have chosen, the day Mr.. BcauChamp
started 10 Frankfort 10 kill Col Sharp, to have
lain down with HIM, as shall this evening do
