New REAPING MACHINE.-The edilo
ofIhe Richmond Compiler was present
few days since, alta exhibition of 9
Reaping Machine, invented by Mr. Nc.
COrmick, Of Rockbridge, Virginia, the
operation of which he describes in a re.
CUaI nunber Ofsltis pePeI.
"1'he machine, placed on small wheels,
was moved by two horses around the rye
field in which the exhibition took place,
at quick pace, making a clear passage
through the grain as il moved, about five
feet wide. This it did with complete
ness which it is impossible for the cradle
10 accomplish. This machine would eff.
fecluallY destroy The vocation of the
'sGleaner," who has been, liz times byeN
gone, the subject of many pretty story
or pleasant poem. The wheels ef the
machine keep in constant motion saw,
with edge and teeth not unlike a reap
hook, which saws down the gtain as it is
bent and forced against its edge by are
voIving apparatus, resembling seine
reel. The grain falls upon bed or plat.
form just behind the teeth, whenc9 it is
rakad by hand. This raking of the grain
away is the most laborious part OF the

The GRAVE YARp.-By reference 10 our
advertising columns it will be seen thai Inc
President and board Of Trustees have invited
the citizens TO meet at the School-house on to-
morrow evening, to devise means Tor the pof'
chase Of burying ground. We hope that a
general attendance will be given. !; is well
known to the people that private claim ex-
lists against the ground at presen: used as
buryiag place, and j. is urgsi by many that
the present location is 20 near the town, and
may hereafter be needed for building purposes.
Were We 10 consult our own feelings we
shon,d be opposed to disturbing the repose Of
the dead, but, If clear title cannot be obtain
ed 10 the grouad, and all disquiet with It's
present location silenced. no time should oe
los, in preparing another place. that those VINO
have friends there may attend 10 the removal
Of their bodies, and new burials be no Longer
suffered. liza decision should be given against
removal. a purchase should BE- made. and
the ground enclosed, regularly laid off, and
sexton appointed TO see that bufials are made
in corresponding order.

~ The Miners Express sent in exchange
&c! the Herald being the only one sent 10 his
town, the editors to crafty their malice, have
sent copy or two Of the paper containing
their abuse Of US, to some of our friends in this
place. If they have few spare copies on
hand, and will send them 10 US, we will see
that they are distributed, and we will also send
one to such papers in the Territory as they
have withheld them from so that they NAV
see to what the press is coming too. We
should repub1ish their abuse, were it not that
it is Of a character which forbids its publica.
ton in paper laying the leas, claims 10 de-
cency and proprie,y.
We send about 80 copies Of our paper TO
Dubuque. Wonder if the difference in the
subscription lists between the two papers in
our respective towns has not little agency in
producing that enmity so manifest towards it.
or is it because Of the contrast drawn last win.
ter between the journals executed At the Ex-
press and Herald Offices. Jealousy, thou ac-

DAvIDsoN's FLYING MAcHINE.-Our ex-
changes for sometime past. have contained no.
tees Of Davidson's project Of navigating the
air by means of wings attached to bal'oon'
some ridiculing, and some encouraging his
idea. By letter written by the companion
of Davidson in his perilons voyage, published
in the St. Louis Organ Of the 18th inst. we
learn that tho experiment has proved success
ful beyond all expectation. The flying ma
chine lately made an ascension from Carrolton
few miles above New Orleans, rose gradual
" until it raised to an altitude of about one
mile, when the wings were spread, and with
few evolu,ions the whole mass was moved
ahead at rapid rate. She was cut loose from
her moorings at P. M. and at little past 6
was lowering over Natchez when they drop
ned a letter attached to small parachute.
Between and 8 in the evening, they were
over Vicksbnrgh. when they took few sails
over the city to afford an opportunity for the
people to observe them. A few shots were
here fred at them by some evil disposed per-
sons. To avoid a crowd in landing from tnei'
lofty voyage, they gave her wings few flaps
and in a short time were over the farm Of a
Mr.. Alexander, where, by the assistance Of
his negroes, they were enabled TO land in per-
feet safety
II the stat ement made by the companion Of
Davidson be true, the invention must prove Of
vast importance, 10 the speedy despatch Of i'm
portant documents from distant parts. We
have not room for the account to-day, but hope
to have perhaps more complete particulars il
| time for our next.

AZ The Wing meeting on Saturday 'ast'
f., the nomination Of candidate for the House
&C REPRESENTATIVES, was rather sorry affair,
a, least so far as numbers are concerned. No
blame can cer,ainly attach to the principle mo-
yers in this business, for the slim attendance
on that occasion, as they were quite active In
stirring up their more supine brethren. But
twas all 10 no purpose. So well are they a.
ware that they cannot succeed, except through
dissersion or division in the Democratic ranks.
tia, all efforts to create" a healthy excltement"
among them are in vain, and the mass OF them'
instead of laboring zealously in their own cause
are waiting for the Democrats to work out
their own destruction. Shall their hopes be
realized! Shall We suffer ourselves TO be d.
vided and conquered, or shall We, as patriots
forget our partiali'ies and prejudices, and te'
solve to conquer, or fall at our pos'sa "Uni'
tel we stand, divided we fall" and our ene-
mics rise.
The proceedings, which will be found 10
another column, must create a smile upon the
countenance Of every Democratic reader in the
county. Our opponents have as already bea-
ten-on paper.
