A NEW MECHANICAL PRINCIPLE.

A new invention has just appeared in Eng
land. called the Satellites" or @Iron Slave"
which il is said will change the system of
agricultural labor, especially in warm climates,
and substitute iron slaves for human slaves.
The MACHINE is intended for agricultural pur-
poses, such as ploughng, sowing, reaping;
also for making canals, roads and tunnels.
IL is frame Of iron, of four feet wide and
twenty feet long, with shat. Of seven feet
long in front, and shaft of six feet six inches
long behind, with two broad wheels, and
steering wheel on the extreme end On tho
front shaft are feet similar TO spokes Of wheels,
with buffers OH their ex,remties ; these enter
the ground by the revolving Of the shaft
This is caused by long lever Of twenty feet
swinging backwards and forwards on spindles
and pulling alternately two levers of three
feet III a box on two wheels, fixed to the
shalt, similar to the capstan on the Great
Britain s,eamship-wi.E this difference, that
the motion can be reversed, or the levers so
placed, that they vibrate, without touching
The driving-wheels. The power to work this
machine is communicated by ropes, pulling
alternately on the large lever; these ropes at
a distance of 1000 yards, were wound around
a double drum, aud corresponding ropes ran
from the drum to a distance of further 100
yards, to two cranks of a steam engine. By
inns trial new mechanical principle was es-
laollshed-vlz: the transmission Of power
from Eyed point to a moving point, going
~ arbiirSy directions at the will Of one maR
al the steering wheel, which was though. i'll
possible by scientific engineers This ma
chine is intended 10 work and move at the
'ate OF three miles per hour. although the We
ocily with which it did 90 at the first trial
has not quite realized that speed.-Bah Sun.

FROM THE HOLLY SPRING GAZETTE.
LUCY NEAL.
Down in a shady valley,
Where sparkling waters steal,
With its vines and budding flowers,
Was the home of Lucy Neal.
Oh, fair young Lucy Neal,
Oh, fair young Lucy Neal,
The love / once did bear for thee,
shall forever feel.
Her voice fell in low murmurs,
The wounded heart to heal,
And harshncss never darkcd the brow,
or my gentle Lncy Neal.
Oh +! she was like the glorious visions
That oft thro' slumber steal,
To light us to the brighter world
And such was Lucy Neal.
And Lucy said her heart was mine,
And her love did not conceal:
For pure and guilcless were the lips,
OF my faithful Lucy Neal.
But there came a dashing soldier,
All panoplicd in steel,
And the stern father gave to him
My lovely Lucy Neal.
They bore her from my bosom
That wound they cannot heal;
"For my heart, my heart is breaking
For the love Of" Lucy Neal.
Farewell Farewell II am dying
Dark visions round me steal,
But the last low murmur of this life
Shall be for Lucy Neal.
