A Great INvrNr1oN. The Albany Argus de:

A GREAT INVENTION. The Albany Argus de;
scribes newly invented machine for planning wood
which is now in operation in that city. 1t says:
A satisfactory idea of the Invention can only be
formed by seeing it at work. Though simple in its
construction, and easily comprehended at glance,
it is difficult to convey clear understanding of the
n.odus operandi, paper. 1t will be Efficient, per-
haps, to say, that nothing heretofore invented APP
proaches it, either in respect to the speed with which
does it's work. the accuracy of surface and finish
which it gives to every thing and any thing which
passes through it, in the shape of plank or board.
rough board placed within its vortex comes ont as
and polished as mirror, to the tune of los feet
minute-and this without driving the machine. Its
MAXIMUM capacity is double and even treble this
speed-and the greater the power and apidty of the
working, the more perfect is its execution. We can
we'll believe that it will out work at the rate of
300 and even 300 feet per minute-or as fast as 1t
can be fed.
In this respect it outstrps the famous Woodwork
invention and promises to snpersede 1t entlieiy The
maximum capacity of that machine, we are told, is
80 40 feet per minute Such as are interested t in
thing new and strange, and we'll worth inspection
and Study. The inventor may be seen at Towsend's
furnace at any time TO exhibit the capacity and pow
er of his machine to all visitors.

THE THIRD DISTRICT

The last Hornets Nest ard True Soutbron con-
'ans the following statement of the state of affairs
In the Third District: ~ t.sz ~ ar
STATE OF AFFAIRS As the whole State has
aen'lon directed towards this district we take &C.
cdsion 10 make few remarks, which wall set them
right upon the state of things here, &C. =
IN the hst place there has been entirely lost sight
VI Ihe distinction which few years ago, divided
men into parties, called wing and democratic. We
nave been in search of OF the old parsans, but
we nave not been successful in finding one
we hnd some few violent Dockery men and great
many Staesrights Caldwell men, but as for the old
distinctions we seek for them in vain.
In the next place get letters affirming the en-
couraging prospects of Caldwell; but these letters
come from men that belonged formerly to the two
distinguishing rites Of the Country and what mioht
appear strange to sOme (but for the turn in the aE
talrs) those couched in the strongest language
from persons that were wings.
And lastly, poor and rich, old and Young of all
parties are animated by the hope that the Maor may
prove successful.
Mr.. Caldwell is an able debater, well versed in all
matters pertaining to Government, and has such
nobeness about him that before the people, we know
no man that can compete with him."
The above is most cheering but few days will
solve all doubts. For ourpart have felt confident
from the first of Maj. Cadwel's success and all that
Is needed to ensure it is strong and united rally on
the day ofelection. We call upon the State Rights men
of Moore, Arson, Richmond, and indeed upon all
men OF this stamp in the District, whom this paper
may reach before he election to eaUe Uote unpo
ed, but to work for their gallant candidate from the ope-
ming Of the polls to tie going do,On Of the sun. The
time for argument has passed. and the hour for action
has arrived. Great interests at stake in this ell
ection Gen. Dockerys uoe, if he should be elected to
the House, may turn tie scale in favor of the Consolda
tonists Of the free STATES, and inroAue these States in
ciVi' ,Oar. He is pledged to vote and money to
coerce and slaughter the people of South Carolina
and eOery man '0ho sustains him at the polls to make
himself Pcrty to THE atrOcious deed Let this start
ling fact be rung in the of the people from Lin
coin to Richmond, on the day of election.
Let it be remembered that Gen. Dockery o. is
the civil war candidate; and that Maj. Caldwell is
for peace, for the Union according to the Constitution
and for the rights of the slaveholding States. -

A DUEI.-

We received the following by the last Wester n
Mail, in extra from the Rutherfordton Banner
office, dated July &c, 1851
GA DUEL. Agentleman passed through this place
on Saturday, 26th, bringing the intelligence that a
duel was fou ght the 24th inst. between Col. John
Baxter, of Hendersonville, and Marcus Erwin, Esq,
of Ashve, one of the editors of the Ashville News.
The parties met near the Saluda Gap, in S. g..
Col. B had previously determined not to fire. Mr..
E. fred and his ball took effect in the right hand of
his adversary, entering at the knucke of the middle
finger where it is inserted on the hand, ranging up
the palm and coming out the wrist. Col. b. s
pistol went off when his hand struck.
Col. B. was the challenged party. The difficulty
grew out of political differences leading to per-
sonaities. John WooGfn, ESQ.,, of AshviIle, acted
second for Col. B., and DR.. E. r. Jones, of Hen
Jacksonville, for Mr. E.
The above is all the news We have from the de-
plorable affair. II we learn more before going to

"The meeting numerously attended, and con-
tanned an unusual number of enterprising business
men. The Reports submitted and the information
elcited in the progress of the deliberations of the
Convention. were sufficient to convince the most
skeptical that this important work would be comPle
ed, if any continue to doubt. The best feeling pre-
vailed among the stockholders assembled, who gave
TO the movement that strength which is the result of
concert and harmony in feeling and interest"

PRoGREss OF Pound COTTON. The foil ow
ing is an account of the travels of pound of manu-
featured American cotton:
The cotton sent from the United States to
London thence tc Manchester, where it spun
into yarn thence to Paisley, where it was woven !;
next TO Ayrshire, to be tamoured and then to Dunn
barton, where it hand-sewed. 1t was then
again sent to Paisley whence it was conveyed to
distant part of Renfrew be bleached, and then
turned to Paisley. 1t was afterwards sent to Gas-
Cow and finished and from Glasgow it was taken
to London. From its shipment in America till its
arrival in the London warehouse, it must have jour
neyed 5000 miles by sea, and 900 by land Its value
was increased by the process of the manufacturer
1000 per cent, whilst less than $50 persons were
engaged in its carriage and preparaton.'
The Mr.. Peabody, who gave the grand fete in
London on the Fourth of July. is native of Salem,
Massachusetts, who passed the early part of his life
at Baltimore, where he was an extensive and enter
prising merchant. Some years ago he left Baltimore
and went to London where he established himself in
the commission and banking business, and has
ceeded to the of his ambition having amassed
an immense fortune, said to equal nearly two millions
sterling The fete is said to have cost him upwards
of S 10000. The concert at which I4ablache, Miss
Hays and other eminent artstes appeared, must have
cost him nearly half that sum. 49, .as..
