WHEAT REAPER.

The farmers of Berkeley, by reference to our
advertising columns, will see that JAMES M.
Hire g. Sos propose to furnish hem with Nc
CoRxic's improved WHEAT REAPER We had
the pleasure of witnessing the performance of one
Of these machines during the last harvest, on the
farm Of q gentleman in Jefferson County. We
we're highly delighted at the exhibition, though the
machine was working at the time undor disadvsn-
tsges-beiug in inexperienced hands and the
Wheat thin. We were fully impressed with its
value to every far mer, not only in enabling him to
cut his harvest with ease and in q short time, but
in the great saving to every acre, by the clearly
manner in which i, performs its work. We sec
from number of certificates left in our possession
by Mr.. Hite, from some Of the most respectable
gentlemen and farmers in this State. that this Rea-
per will cut at eas, 90 acres per day. if the Wheat
is in good condition, and that it will prove saving
from one and a halft tro bushels Of Wheat per
acre over the ordinary plan of grading. We
should judge this estimate to be correct from the
exhibition which we witnessed of its working. -
Any farmer can easily make his own calcu lation'
Of the value of such machine. Since last year
Mr.. Isaac Twin Hite has made quite an improve
ment to this valuable machine by the addition Of a
small carriage which carries the raker and enable.
him to perform his work, as we are informed, with
comparative ease. We learn from Mr.. Hite that
no has also made some other slight improvements
to tho machine, which will enable it to work some
what better in lodged Wheat We are mush pleas
ed to learn that Mr.. Hite has disposed of several
Of his machines in this County, ana we hope our
farmers may find them most valuable acquisition
to their operations. We refer the farmers oil
Berkeley 10 the annexed certificate of Mr.. Andrew
w. McClesry, one of our most intelligent farmers,
who tried the Reaper" last year. Mr.. Hite has
left two or three of MS Improved machines with
Mr. McCleary for sale. to whom he refers all who
wish to see or learn any farther particulars about
s operation. Mr.. McCleary says:-
used in cutting my last harvest one OF
the Mccormick Wheat Reapers, manu-.
featured by Mr.. James NJ. Hite IL Son, OF
Clarke county, Va, and would recon-
mend them to The farmers generally. 1t

draught for two horses. and when we'll
made is not liable to get out Of order.
With ordinary work, it will cut from Is
TO l6 acres per day, and when we'll push.
ed will cut from 20 to % acres per day.

the wheat was ripe and dry, but does not

We direct the attention of the Ladies of Berke-

turned, in order that measures may be taken in Me

OUR TOM"

We find the following article in the last Rich
mond Enquirer, which the Editors think very
Capital hit at two distinguished Tennessee Whigs
Hon. EfHRAin Fl. Foster and Gov. JONES
Let US read the article-here i Isl
A pendant TO Farley OF Logan County.
The Nashville Union, quoting our re-
marks abou, the de!ea, of the independent
and brilliant Farley, upon whose single
vote the whole policy of our large State
turned last wipter; thus hits away at two
Wing Candidates in Tennessee, Ephriam
II. Foster for Governor and Eek. Governor
Jones for Congress-the latter forced to
yield to the claims Of Gentry, rival
Wing. We hope, and from the late &C.
counts we are warrented IN believing, that
the same fate will attend their exertions
to hoodwink the State Of Tennessee. In
chronicling the consistent acts Of Foster,
the Union might we'll have added "for
Texas and against Texas" like our own
Newton.
"The Enquirer does not know much a.
bout our Tennessee politicians. or they
would have placed Mr.. Farley only "se-

private life in company with another
distinguished Wing IN our State, who has
lately turned philosopher in accordance
with the will of the gentry of his district. "
Now what more admirable picture of "Our
Tom," of the "5ig Union" at Washington could
have been drawn than the one above by the httie
Union at Nashville. "Our Tom" once said in the
Enquirer that the election of Gen. Jackson to the
Presidency would prove a curse to the Country,
and afterwards that he was the greatest and best
-next "Our Tom" stood shoulder to shoulder
with Gen. Dromgoole against the whole chivalry
of tho South for Van Buren,, and then just before
the meeting of the Baltimore "Intrigue Conven-
tion," deserted him, and betrayed him to his enc

shoulder and encourag ed his treason to the Wing
party, and then whisilsd him down the wind

deaf, and did justice TO every ones merits but his
