The Southron says that the Nashville Con.
ventiOn has dwindled down into o mere party
affair. No doubt the sOuthrOn would rejoice
il such should be the case. All the influence
itcan Weld with the Nhig party land its abili-
~ and locality give it much influenced has
been, and will continue to be, exerted towards
making TIA mere party affair, : By endeavor-
ing to persuade the wings that they ought to
have nothing to do with it. In a word, that
they owe a higher allegiance to party than
they do to the South. But the SOuthron will
be disappointed in its fond wish. Wings and
democrats will both meet in Nashville, lofty
men of elevated patriotism, who will be gov
erned by an honest wish to protect and guard
the rights of the South, and not to advance the
interests Of a mere party.

EDITORS OF THE GLOBE,
Washington, D.. C

We have on our mail books scores Of
what are technically called, in the Office,
"single packets" that is, where only one
paper goes TO a post Office. These pack
cts have the name Of the subscriber, with
that of the post Office, written upon the
wrapper, and not on the paper. The wrap
pers are directed first to save time, andthe
papers put into them afterwards. When
ever, therefore, a subscriber gets o pape
with his name written not on the paper but
on the wrapper, his is a single packet
What we want to be at is this:-We
would like to have all our single packets
doubled, trebled, quarupled, or more if it
might be. II is troublesome to send out
these single packets-too troublesome in
proportion to the gain. W. can FIX up two
or three papers for the mail nearly as soon
as we can one. Besides, we always rea.
lize a feeling Of anxiety in regard to these
little packets, in sending one paper AWAY
so fat. We feel for them in that lonely
and uncertain journey. As 10 the larger
packets, the very bulk will command some
respect for them from the post Office clerks.
But these solitary little fellows, in their
seeming insignifcance, may probably be
kicked into some corner, or miss their way,
and be lost among the hills and hollows.
Asmall package does not arrive 50 certain
" at its destination as a large e We
have a remedy 70 propose for this state OF
things. Let each subscriber, who gets a
single packet obtain another subscriber or.
two, whose papers may go along with this
for company. II is a pity to have one pa
per take such long journeys, as som do.
SOLITARY and alone." Give them more
company, and they will travel more swiftly
and reach their destination more surely.

the whole number of emigrants starting across

JUNE COURT.

A discussion on Constitutional reform took
place, on Monday last, in presence of a large
audience. The speakers were S. McD. MOORE
R. L. DoWE, T. j. NICHE and H. w. SuEF-

than that the discussion was marked by ability,
the various speakers maintaining their opinions
with much zeal. As has been elsewhere re-
marked, the Judicial tenure is the great cues
ton -Messrs MlcHlE and STUART contending
for the good behaniou' tenure---theis opponents
for the term tenure. 1t would be strange if the
people of Augusta should be found in opposition
to a reform which meets the unqualified appro-
val of nine-telt1s of the people of Virginia, for
we have not yet seen an address from candi-
dates in other counties in which the term tenure
is not advocated. Ffr. SHEYFEy, not having
concluded, will again address the people at the
July Court. We have heard his speech highly
complimented-- the retormers are we'll pleased
with their candidates and have no doubt of their
election, if all do their duty.

IMPORTANT lNvENTIoN.--We yesterday wit
messed the operation of small SAW Mill, con-
structed upon new and singular principl
OF selt-propulsOn The inventor is Mr. Amos
Jackson, OF Pottowatamie county, Iowa, who, in
company with several of his brethren in the
Mormon faith are now in his city. Mr.. jackson,
has spent many years of toll, and large sums OF
money, in perfecting his invention, and our inn
preston is that the method now presented will
entirely supersede the mills now in use
This mill is built in such manner as to de-
rive its entire propclling power from the weight
of the log TO be sawed, which he accompshes
in the following manner: the ordinary ways up
on which the carriage travels, are fixed upon
bearings that enter into the France the opposite
ends are provided with large segments of Il cog
wheel working into series OF cog wheels and
pinons; thus, it will be seen, that when the
log is pushed forward to the saw, its weight is
brought 10 act with great force through the seq
mens, upon shaft having several intermedia; e
gearngs to increase the speed sufficiently for
driving the crank shaft Whenwe consider that
the weight of saw logs is commonly six to eight
thousand pounds, we may Judge OF the immense
propelling power thus obtained, indeed, the fear
is, that means will have to be used to check and
regulate the velocity of the descending mass, as
the segment describes its area. If the princi le
when carried out, answers as well as the one we
have witnessed, we cannot see what use there
can be for steam water, or any other power than
that used by Mr.. jackson for saw-milling. Sew
eral years ago, while the invention was still in
complete, it was submitted to the Hon. II. L.
Ellsworth then Commissioner of the Pat mt Of
fee, who at once pronounced it the best means
ever devised for saving.
An important part OF the invention consists in
new form of saw, whereby all setting is dis
Pensed with. The toothed edge of Mr.. Jack
sons saw is made thick, and diminishing to the
back, thus leaving all friction out of the question:
and saving the setting. The price ofthese mills,
we are informed, will be light, compared with
others, and they can be attached to wheels for
travelling through the country. Measures have
been taken TO secure patent The invention
|. can be examined to-day at Nr. J. T.. Wares Pa
