THE subscribers have the pleasure of announ-
einr to their numerous friends and customers that
they have now Oh hand large supply OF the above
pouyhs Of this year manufacture, which. owing TO
The change Of times we are enabled to ocr at great
" reduced prices.
From the liberal encouragement extended to US
last wear by the sale Of over 1000 Of these ploughs,
and the universal satisfaction they gave, we were
induced to spair no pains in selecting the very best
Oi materials, and employing the b>st mechanical
ssIl in their construction. The consequence has
been that we have produced results that are highly
satisfactory to ourselves, and must be to those who
purchase Of US. We have now plough which Is
50 we'll adapted to soil, that it sets all comoeli-
lion a, defiance. For the information OF thouse un-
acquainted with its construction, we will ofer this
hei explanation: The whole surface OF the plough
is ground smooth. The mould-board Is made OF
brought iron. The shear of steel, (Which is at
ched to the moud-bolrd by three small balts,) SO
that is easily taken of by means OF the clcvis'pn,

d the mould-board is constructed Oil strictly sclen-
tic principles, so that it scou.s perfectly bright in
The most loose and loamy SOIL Which is III truth the
great dssideratum in this section Of the country; as
thereby enables team to accomplish at least one.
third more work in day, with far greater case, and
IN much better manner, than with one that Will
not scour, This every practical man knows With
in the part year we have received the warmest test-
nonials in regard TO them from hundreds Of our
PRACTICAL men who have them in use !; and at the st.
Louis County Agricultural socie,y's Fair, held IN
October last we were on trial AM, awarded the pre-
MUM. Also diploma at the Fair of the Mechan-
les Institute held in this city in November last. But
the bes, evidence of their superiority 10 all others
Tow in use is the fact that no farmer who has used
them will, for any consideration, make nsc Of any
other. We have reduced the price at retail for cash
mhand to 50 rs for the two horse ploughs, with

WAsuIScroN, April l. 1s43.-The ru-
mors which have prevailed here, for some
days past, Of an open rupture between Mess
rs SPENCER AMI Upshur, are utterly untrue.
The Cabinet is quite as harmonious as Cab
inets generally are; and were it otherwise,
1t is improbable that they would give vent
TO their i!l-hunor by kicking each others
shins, under the table,-as was alleged
Ii is said that, since the Cour; Martial in the
2jomers case was decided upon, our Secre-
tary Spencer has felt himself much aggriey-

more so. But this will not probably lead
to any black eyes and sore shins, or to a
breaking up of the Cabinet. ". Y.
