he would say, we should no more be citi-
zens of the same common country. But
said he, we have Fillmore at the head OF
the Government. who has so far enforced
its execution. We have the gallant men
who have pledged themselves to keep the
peace Of the Union. We have such men
as Cass, Dickinson, Dallas, on the one side
and hosts of others; on the other. The
Union then will be preserved. Indications
from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mis-
sssippi and North Carolina had been ia
vourablc Wings and Democrats had not
cared for the old issues, which were said
to be defunct. They were now making
great effort to save the Union, whose flag
had foatedto the breeze in every land
That flag should not go down; it would
not go down. if the Compromise was faith
fully carried out Yet the Amherst people
had, some Of them, declared it was ga
measure concerned IN sin and brought
forth in iniqxity." Would Mr.. Powell be
expected to support, or to acquicsce in
such measures! He was sure he would
not, If he regarded them sinful and iniqui-
tous.
Mr.. G. said, he had been assailed by the
Democratic press-by the Examiner and
by the Republican-he could only say he
regretted the excess to which party feeling
drove the conductors of public journals
Mr.. Powell had caused to be circulated
numbers Of the Republican, containing ma
ny articles, in the view of Mr.. c., calcu-
lated TO mislcad the public. He did not
appear, to answer for himself in his official
course, but under cover Of his frank he
circulated this paper. Mr.. G. alluded to
the several articles, and asked if this was a
specimen of fairness in political oppo-
nent!
But Wings and Union men must be
put down, because the Administration, here
and there, had turned out political op-
ponent-Mr. Cawthon of Lynchburg, for
example. Mr.. G. said Mr.. Cawthon
would acquit him, he was sure, of all par.
ticipation in this act. But could Mr.
Powell complain He had voted to turn
out James E. Heath, as Auditor, who
was Wing, when every other Democra,
in the Legislature save one voted for him.
We had then his example. Though al
others, save himself and another, though
Mr.. Heath proper person to be retained
yet he sought to remove him. Say nc
more than said he of prescription.
Mr. G.. concluded his remarks by a
gain adverting to the value of the Unior
and the consequences of its dissolution
He showed that the purpose to scccde hao

besought Virginia to 60 not with her,

Etuart's confession and evidence not on
" prove him to have been implicated in
the murder of Mr.. Moore, at Dobbins'
Ranch, in the murderous assault on the
Captain Of the Kaskia, in this harbor--but

attempt on Mr.. Maconday's. in the robbie

has taken place in this city or neighborhood

calling.
The astounding revelations contained in
the testimony and confession we publish

To further the ends of Justice, we are OBJ

wonder that with such an organization,

Union Candidate.

The Republican speaks Of Col. Boiling
as "the boosted Union candidate" "the
great Union candidate" &c We are very
sure that Col. Boiling will consider it no re-
proach,to be spoken OF as the friend of the
Union and the candidate of that party whose
chief present object is,to redeem the Union
from the peril in which it has been placed,
by foreign war and territorial acquisitions.
Nor will he regardita as a title of evil omen,
when he looks to the late results in Abba
ma, North Carolina. and Tennessee. II
the Republican chooses to style him the U.
mon candidate, so be it, say we, and We
place his name accordingly, at the head Of

Foreign Tribute - the 0cWhus Oh
n vfrUtntnn.
The London correspondent ofthe Phila-
deiphia North American says:
A trial Of a few agricultural implements
which have been shown in the great Ex-
hibition, was made yesterday at Mr.. Mechi's
model farm at Tiptrecheath. Col. johnson,
of New York, was present on the part OF
the United States. The American reap
ing machines attracted much attention, but
as the wheat was wet and unripe, only one
machine worked to advantage. This was
McCormick's. The Times sent reporter
to Tiptrce, and he says that about the sue
cess Of this machine, when tried under more
favorable circumstances, there cannot be a
doubt; and as to its advantages, they were
sufficiently Indicated yesterday BY the loud
cheers which burst from the large body Of
farmers assembled.
The Times adds "That it is not little
singularthat such an invention should come
to us from America, where the comings of
the labor market have compelled people
to look out for mechanical facilities in car
rying out their harvesting operations
There it has been in existence for seven
years, whilst we in this country have been
going on from autumn to autumn, DEEPEN
dent for securing our crops upon armies OF
impoverished Irish peasants, who come to
reap and remain to FIJI our work houses,
swell our rates, and aggravate the moral
and physical wrctchedness Of our surplus
population" The "Morning Post" of to-
day, referring to the meeting at Mechi's
farm, and the trial of agricultural instru-
ments, remarks of McCormick's machine,
and twice did it 20 over the field, and,
"without the slightest failure, cut the corn
leaving the stubble about the ordinary
height, and throwing the several plants at
the side Gifts path in heaps, just fitted for
being tied up in sheaves. 1t is probable
that some improvements and notifications
OF the details of this implement may be dis
covered; but its universal adoption must
be matter of certainty" "Itmust be OBJ
vious that, with this implement, the farmer
obtains in a far greater degrees control
over bis harvest which he ncverhad before;
and the extra wages paid to Irish reapers
illbesavcd. This machine has bcenin gen
eral use several years in America, and its
introduction here is one of the most impor-
tant helps which the farmer has lately re-
ceived from machinery" These very crit
les, who now speak in such high terms Of
praise ofthis American machine, spoke OF
it with ridicule when it was in the Crystal
Palacel When, however, they discovered
the practical utility Of many Of the Ameri
can articles in the Exhibition, they are as
tonished atihe ingenuity of the Americans.
So McCormick's rcaping machine will be
awarded first class prize.

Dear Sir The distinguished party.
with which embarked, arrived last even

by much wit, great humor, and entire good
nature.
AS yet, we have seen little or nothing of
society here, as we ere determined to scru.
tnIse very closely, and use much cir.
cumspeciion in forming acquaintance. l
must say, however, that one Of our party
has violated our understanding, and ac-
cepted introductions to good many per
sons. lie urges IN extenuatiou that he was
warmly solicited, and we console ourselves
with the knowledge ofthe fact, that he has
not accepted an introduction to any one
lower in the scale, than Judge or mem
Der ofCongress.
l have the satisfaction to inform you,that
the President has signiGcd his intention to
accept the invltation to visit Lynchburg
The invitation has not yet been given, but
he has said through Mr. Stuart to our
friend X. that he should accept. He leaves
here in the morning for the "Red" and
"Swect," where he will remain about u
week, thence he will 60 to the Ma
tural Bridge, and thence to Lynchburg,
where he will arrive about next Thursday
or Friday week write enly 10 give You

The President.

We are highly grati6ed, as we are sure
our citizens generally are. at learning that
the President will visit Lynchburg, during
the next week, on his return to Washing
ton. 1t will afford all good citizens, Of
whatever party. pleasure to unite in doing
honor. through him, to the high station
and dignity, Of which he is the present
embodinent,and tothe many virtues which
all attribute to him, as a man. We expect
to announce in our next issue the precise
day Of his arrival, SO that citizens of the
country who may desire to pay their re-
spects to him, viii have the proper infor-
nation. In the meantime, we trust the aU-
thoritics and citizens of the town will make
becoming preparations for his reception.

"The statement was founded upon a

We have seen one ofthe new coupon
bonds of the James River and Kanawha
Company, guaranteed by the State of vir.
gina. 1t is a beautiful specimen of en-
craving, and is ornamcntcd with vignettes
of George Washington, John Marshall
Joseph c. Cabell, and John Y Mason
The likeness of Judge Marshall, whose
name, as well as that of Washington, is
indelbly impressed upon the history of the
Improvement, seems to be a good copy
of one of the best portraits, and the like
ness Of MIR. Cabell and Judge Mason, the
former and present Presidents of the Com
pany, are remarkably fine.
These bonds b. ing guaranteed by the
State, possess Of course, allthe security oil
the State bonds, and the same advantage
IN having coupons attached. Guaranteed
bonds have, however, generally been ra-
ted little lower than the State bonds, for
the rerson, we suppose, that purchasers
consider the punctual payment of interest
less certain. We understand the Compa-
ny have negotiated sale of their bonds to
the amount of 100000, to Sclden; With
ers & Co, of Washington, at lo3 cents per
dollar-R. Times
