minute description.
We give it below, in Col. Bossard's own
words. lie has forwarded an application 10 the
proper Department for patent, with all neces:
sary drawings, and we trust he will succeed in
securing ;lis right. ltmay not be properly call

improvement upon the old mode of cleansing
Rice. We have heard the worth of Col. BIS
Improvement, ifhe succeeds in procuring pa.
tent, variorsly estimated, by those who have
knowledge of such matters, from $4,000 to
100000. He confidently asserts that with it
two horses can do, the labor Of eight or ten with
the old mode of pounding. This certainly is
great saving of power. Col. Bossard has one
regularly running. which practically illustrates
his views and tests his improvement.
This machine operates with shaft of eight
squares which is eighteen inches in diameter.
In every alternate square, there are fixed two
liGers parallel to each other, placed far enough
apart to pass up the exterio, sides of the pcsle.
The ifcrs are just thirteen inches long, when
measured from the surface of the shaft outward,
and in each of the other squares Of the shaft,
there is single litter Of equal dimension,
placed in a central position TO the former ones.
Pinions are placed on the outer sides OF the
pestle in horizontal position to the centre OF
the shaft, at which point the parallel licrs are
in the revolving of the shaft to receive the pes.

ions, and finishes the elevation required.
The ins,an, the pes,le falls into the morter,
saw in a second of time, the pinions are again
taken by parallel lifer, and thus the process is
continued, producing four blows of the pestle
to each entire revolution of The shaft.
Three lilters are therefore employed to each

BRUTUS AND A TRUE CAROLlNIAN.
We find our exchanges condemning in un.
measured terms, as incendiary, insidions, and
traiorous, the recent publications now flooding
the country, the writers calling themselves by
the above names. Many have been received
here, but believing their circulation was limi
ted and their issue would cease with number
or two, we deemed it advisable not to magnify
their Importance with notice, hoping that, like
other fancy flights of error and diseased imagl.'
nations, they would soon fall into "the tombs OF
the Capulets." But their issues come in such
numbers, and with such ominous regularity,

ries that these publications are deliberate
attack upon the institutions of our State, using
the arguments found in the mouths Of .Aboli.
tionists, and the writers, whoever they are and
wherever they may be, are acting as tools in
the hands of Hale, Giddngs & Co-men, who
would set the torch of fire To the goodly temple
of Liberty reared in these lands. and would
exult over the ruins thereof, because, forsooth.

some of those who shelter under it, have the
DiH to cling 10 an Institution, which the pseudo.
philan,hropi.'s Of The North fastened upon
their ancestry. The name of true Carolinidn
was never more falsely assumed, reminding us
Of a prowling wolf in sleeps clothing; and
the name of Brutus so far as il means stabbing

things into one uncomfortable chaos, and amid
the crash to fall suicidally, may he tru'y sgni.

tions continue. The writer says, he is native
Carolnan, and the anonymous correspondent
of Barrett, who for aught we know is a truth
telling depQnent, asserts the same. But he or
they wear the garb Of concealmcnt. "They
love darkness rather than light because their
deeds are evil" Truth never loses any
strength from an open and bold advocacy.

If their views are correct. why seek secrecy?
Let these pamphlets be written where they
may, it is thought they are printed in Ciucin.
