LERow AID BLopGETT's SEWING MA
sCnISE.-Last week we visited the tailoring
factory No. 33 Gold street, ibis city, and
were much surprised to find thirty Of the
above machines running on clothing, and
twenty sewing up bags. These machines
are attended by girls, and have been in ac-
Tive operation for year. They are driven
I by steniIi power, and so rapid is their ope-
TAfisn, liietthe thirty machines iurn out
300 pairs Of pantnloons in one day. and
llicy could. If driven, have turned out 600
pairs The superiority of the rotary ma
chine over the reciprocatng one, consists
in the continued and uniform action and
motion of the shuttle, there is no stopping
ats motion to make return stroke, conse-
quently no jarring and less liability to get
ont of order, and for this reason its speed
Gan be greatly increased. No less than
10000 caps were made in this factory in
six months. We saw fine coats, every
stitch, except the button holes, put in by
. this machine, and the work could no, be
surpassed. The sewing is stronger than
by hand, and wholesale goods made by this
machine arc better and command higher
price than the handmade clothes. The
stitching is beautiful, and is alike on both
sides of the cloth.-Scicnti6c American.

NASHVILLE Nav 10, n. !

The Committee reported this afternoon.
The Board OF Domestic Missions in their
report recommended scporate Southern
Bible Society, independent OF tho Northern
or any other organization. The Board OF
Foreign Missions recommended the same
with regard TO foreign missions.
The question OF new English transla-
ton was argued at so,no lcngih, and disap-
proved, the Board recommending the circu-
laton OF the present authorized version
which shall be recognized by Protestant
Christians until better one shall make its
appearance.
The right of the Rev. Mr.. McClay, Of
New York, to take scat in The Conven-
ton was objected 10 yesterday but on his
disclaiming that he was all abolitionist he
was allowed a seat-n0t as a member OF

mmltHnenus action!
Was it;contemplated by the fathers OF
tho Republic, that the Federal Union must
necessarily compromise all Anglo Amer-
can States Cor even all the original thir-
( teen) when they provided for the establish
Nme,it of constitution between, among and
4 oyernine States
Is it correct, therefore, to talk Of scpara-
ton, or OF q dissolution of the Government
being PRODUCED by the secess OIL of one
State,whcn that government rs it is called,
was created by the ratfyihg sets of nino
States!
Is it correct also, to speak Of any change
in our Federal system, as destruction of
principles?
Is not the genuine American principle
the cardinal axiom--of truo republicanisin,
MS deduced from American history, to be
summed up in these postulatcs-" equal
and harmonious alliance Of sovcrcignlics
--and homogcneity of governors and the
governed {?
Are not republican institutions best pre-
served in small republics! Is it possible
for the General Government to be admin
istercd now, (even supposing always the
best intentioD but by continuing in it's
present anti slavery attitude!
In other States, do not the signs of tho
times clearly indicate that the present Cen
trail Government must restrict slavery, (and
thus destroy it gradually, but surely, if not
violently or propagate slavery! Is not
separation indicated as the proper remedy
in both cases
Can.South Carolina be considered as
using her own right to the injury of others,
by seeding, and il SO, does this rule restrict
sovereignty!
Would not Confcdcracy embracing all
that are now called Southern States, be as
bad rs the present Union, and involve the
same elements of discord and incoInpat-
, bilitys?
Were not the grievances which led to
the revolution, triling, when compared
with those the Southern States have long
endured!
Was there not moro homogcncity and
harmony OF interests between the Colonies
and their parent State, than now exists, or
can exist, between the two sections CT this
country!
Are not the inducements, motives and
arguments now urged against action, tho
same in kind, us those employed against
the revolution! The anti-revolutionary
Partyin all the Colonies, was composed OF
lately arrived emigrants, whose affections
still clung to the mother State-of office
holders and Office seekers under the Union
and of those whose commercial calcula-
tion overru.ed their patriotism. Is not the
case precisely similar now

MosT SINGULAR SToRy.-Wc find the
following strange tale related in late
number Of Gallignani, the editor of which
translates it from one Of the Paris journals
The story is decidedly French, and our
readers may believe it or not, just as they
choose:
A short time since NJ. Macquart, con-
tractor for slaugh,crng horses n, Mon,luu-
con, purchased four days agou lot OF thirty
three worn out animals, and amongst them
were several which had formerly belonged
TO The army. The thriy-thrcc were killed.
and the men proceeded TO cut them up
Judge of the stupcacation OF one OF The
men, named Matclot, OH finding in one of
them small box in silver, containing a
cross OF tho Legion Of Honor, and a paper,
ina perfect state OF preservation, contain
ing the following lines:
"As cannot survive the defeat Of my
Emperor, and us have neither wife, nor
child, nor cousins, am about to get myself
killed in II las, charge against those scroun.
drels the English, and rs will not let
them have my cross, will make my faith
ful horse Chateau Margot swallow it, lie
will give it up when he can.
PIERRE DARDENNE,
Sergeant in the I'd Squadron Red I.unccrs.
Matelot took the things to the Commits
sary of Police Of the district, and that func-
tionary allowed him to keep the silver box.
AS for the cross it was sent to the Graude
Chancellerie OF the Legion of Honor. From
documents published by the Professors of
the Ecole d'Alfort, it appears that certain
horses have lived to the age Of forty five;
that which Charles XII. rode at the baitlc
Of Pultowa attained that age. The white
charger of Napoleon lived twcnty-ninc
years. Chateau -NIargol IS supposed to have
been about forty.

The Virginia iaComcntion has becn en-
gagged for some time in discussions as to
the basis of representation tho Eastern
portion demanding representation FOR their
slavss and the WcAcrn, in which tho
whites arc norp numerous, insisting that
representation should be in proportion to
white population alone, and at ono time the
debates became so excited that threats were
seriously made of division of tho State.
But, few days since the Convention after
an animated contest, and the rejection OF
several other propositions, adopted the plan
OF representation proposed by the coInpro-
misc committee, whi;h had been once re-
jcctcd and again mu,i.t in committee Of The

this plan the western section of the State
will have majority jnuriccn in the House

majority Of four on the joint ballot. II also
