A Yankee at Cambridge, Mass, has
invented sewing machine. 1t is very
compact, not occupying space of morc
than about six inches each way. II runs
with so much ease that we should sup
pose one person might easily operate
twenty or thirty Of them, and the work
is done in most thorough and perfect
manner. Both sides of seam look a.
like, appearing to be beautifully stitched,
and the seam is closer and more uniform
than when sewed by the hand. 1t will
sew straight or curved seams with equal
facility, and so rapidly that it takes but
two minutes to sew the whole leugth Of
the outside seam of a pair of pantaloons.
1t SETS 400 stitches minute with perfect
ease, and the proprietor thinks there is no
difficulty in setting 700 in minute. The
thread is less worn by this process than by
hand sewing, and consequently retains
more of Its strength.

MELANCHOLY STEAMBOAT AC-
CIDENT.
FIFTEEN LIVES LOST.


The Steamboat Saladin, from Nash
vile, came in contact, on the night Of the
18th Feb, when near Pitchers Point,
with the steamboat Congress, going up
the river. Fifteen persons on board the
Congress were killed by the collision or
subsequently drowned; but their names
are not given. The New Orleans Plea
yune says
The cabin of the Congress separated
from the hull and was towed down to
Lake Providence by the Saladin. The
hull of the Congrhss Immediately sunk.
We learn further that in consequences
of the collision the connecting pipes of
the engine of the Congress burst, severe
ly scalding several of her passengers.-
The Brunette brought down some Of IN
jured passengers Of the Congress, and
landed them at Vicksbufg.
eDPThe New Orleans papers receiv-
ed last night state that Is or 20 persons
were drowned and 10 scalded.

common sense have resumed their reign
throughout the country; the Legitimate
avenue Of agriculture, foreign and domes-
tic commerce, manufactures, and the
various arts, are all appropriately filled,
and in successful prosecution. 1t IS IN
the power of the agriculturlsts OF the coun-
try to keep them where they are. The
balance of power is with you. 1t
true to your own interests, and you right
ly adhere to our present wise system,
along and bright career of prosperity is
before you. Your destiny is in your
hands; and it is for you to watch CAREFUL
ly the administration OF public affairs, and
sec to it that no false theoretical princi-
plies of government, no rampan or unhal-
lowed ambition whether national or lndl-
vidual, be permittedlto thrust disorder into
our present benefcent system, and snatch
from you the legitimate fruits Of your own
skill and industry-lay your plans at once
for an increased production in every de-
partment Of your farming operations, not
by attempting the cultivation Of moro
acres than you can profitably attend to.
butby enriching, and rendering more pro-
ductivc by careful tillage, what you have
now under management. Introduce the
best systems of husbandry into your
practice, the best seeds and the best i'm
plements; carefully harvest and lay up be-
yond the risk of injury or waste, your
surplus crops, and hold them for the best
probable market; avoid running in debt,
and pay such as are already contracted.
With the adoption of such system rig
idly adhered to, the expiration of the en-
suing five years may see you the most
prosperous class within the Union, if
you are not decidedly so at this present
moment.

How England obtained Ireland

The venerable John Quincy Adams, in
his able speech in the House of Repre-
sentatives, on Monday of last week, while
urging the validity ofour title TO Oregon
said
1.-The Pope was in the custom of CIV
ing away not only all barbarous; countries,
with all their inhabitants, but at times civ
llized countries too. He dethroned SOW
ereigns, laid their kingdoms under an in
terdict, and excommuncated them; and
all this was submitted to. And the Gov
ernment of Great Britain at this day holds
Ireland by no other title. Three hun
dred years before the grant to Ferninqnd
and Isabella, Pope Adrian gave Ireland to
Hentry IL. of England; and England holds
the Island under that title now, unless,
indeed she sets up another title by con-
quest; but Ireland, if in form conquered,
has been in almost perpetual rebellion
ever since. England has been obliged TO
reconquer her some half dozen times, and
if she means to do it again now she must
begin soon. The question has been
raised whether Ireland shall be independ-
ent, and if we get into war with England
it will be pretty serious matter for her
to maintain her title.'

Tragic Romance in Real Life.

The Winchester Virginian says.-A
young woman, named Hoover arrived in
our town, by the cars on Saturday week
last, and from her necdv circumstances,
claimed, and received the aid of some be-
nevolent citizens. With her was an ell
derly lady, her friend who accompanied
her from Lafayette, Ohio. On ther way
from Wheeling and Cumberland, the stage
in which they were, was upset in cross
ing creek, and a small basket contain
ing some clothing and all the money they
had, was swept down with the stream
The morning after her arrival, the young
lady hurried on to Cedar Greek, in this
county, anxious to see her parents, who
had left her seven years ago in the fami-
of friend, being compelled themselves
by sickness to leave Ohio and return to
Virginia in pursuit of health. Her dis
appointment may be conceived, when she
found, on reaching her home, that her
father, anxious about her return, having
collected his little dues and sold some OF
his property, had just started for the
Vest But deeper grief awaits her still.
A letter received by our Postmaster, COM
municated the sad tidings that her affec-
tionate parent on his return home, on
foot, was shot by a man named Martin,
who threw himself into his company
under the guise Of friendship, and mur-
dered him for his little money. The letter
enclosed part of the old mans shroud.
The murderer was arrested. Imagination
can hardly weave more tragic tale.
