New Portable Horse Mill.

TNHE undersigned respectfully informs the farm IL CTS and planters of the South and West, that he has invented new portable CREST MILL, we'll adapted to grinding corn and wheat by animal pow CT; which he warrants to grind faster with the same power, than any other kind of horse mill in use It is capable of grinding l2 bushels of good meal per hour; and with good horses, he will warrant i to grind from 4 to bushels of excellent meal or flour in the same time
 It is deemed unnecessary to give description of this mill, as it is presumed no one will purchase without first examining and judging of its mers- Suffice to say, it is driven by band; can be attach ed to any common gin-wheel; and, for cheapness. simplicity durability, and practical utility, he war rants 1t superior to any other portable Grist Mil in use
 He has in operation, at his residence miles Southwest oi Little Rock, and earnestly invites all who wish to purchase mill, to examine it before purchasing elsewhee. The price is from S75 to- $l25 according to size and quality
 He also manufactures, to order, Sfr0,r Cutters, Fann,ag Mills, Threshiag Machines Gins, Horse Four CTS, and all kinds of machinery on the most apyro- we'd plans, and of durable materials
 Orders addressed to him, at Little Rock, Arlsan- sas, will meet with prompt attention.

 We need not ask attention to letter from Gov. Steele, of New Hampshire. This stout hearted old republican has expressed himself in the following letter, in regard to the unjust and cruel sentence inflicted upon the cham pion of free suffrage in Rhode Island, in the short and emphatic tone which we think 1t is time to adopt towards the Rhode Island tyrants.
 The letter was addressed to committee of the Hillsborough democracy.

Mr. Featherstonhaugh, who travelled thro' this country several years since as geolo- gist, has been writing work about the United States, which is said by the English journals to surpass, in virulence of abuse, the famous works of Trollope, Marryatt, Hall, and Dick ems. FThe London Spectator says: ''Uncouth language and behavior, even on the part of females, offensive and disgusting conduct by the men, habitual blasphemy, with pure, un- mitgated blackguardism, and rullianism, and universal worship of mammon superseding every other object in life, stand out strikimgly in the travellers pages whilst his plain-spo- ken, straightforward manner, give an air of truth to his pictures"

II OR truth is mighty, that DR.. Leidy's SARSAPA-

Of any other preparation Of Sarsapara that is made
1t is warranted TO be stronger than six bottles of
most Others stronger than four of some and stronger
than three Of the strongest prepared by any other in
the United States.
Dr. Leldy's Sarsaparilla is recommended by all
respectable physicians in preference to any other
Ali who have ever used it have derived more benefit
from one bottle than three to ten of others; and
those who after having used other preparations with
out benefit will use Dr. Leidy's, will soon be con-
WINGED (as thousands have already been) of the FORE
going assertion.
The apparatus with which DR.. Leidy's extracts,
used in his preparation of Sarsaparlla prepared
the only enc in the United States, imported by DIR.
Leidy himself from the celebrated house of Peleter
& Caventou in Paris, at great expense and is ca
pable of extracting the medicinal virtues Of Sarsa-
paria and other roots more efectually than by any
other process.
AS several hundred certificates of remarkable
cures and recommendations from clergymen and
physicians have been from time to time published IN

the public acquainted to where DR.. Leidy's Sar-
