"While thus in darkness in regard to
matters and things in distant regions Of our

divines Of our own and distant cities, upon
various intellectual and spiritual subjects

Rev. N. L. Rice, LID, concluded, a
few evenings since, very interesting and
instructive course Of lectures upon various
religious subjects; portion of which were
in answer TO Rev. o. A. Brownson, LID.
tho learned champion and promulgator Of
Catholicism. Tie two leetiHsrs have called
out crowded houses almost5every evening,
DR.. Mcdowell has also taken "a hand in
this free fight" in opposition to Brownson,
and concludes his course this.evening. The
Doctors lectures are decidedly original, and
certainly very fanny.
These lectures have been delivered in the
Mercantile Library Hall, which was com
pleted during the fall, and is probably one
of the finest lecture rooms IN the United
States.

of the State Our enterprising citizens
1Lessrs. Douglass s. Beer, McClelland
Scruggs & Co., J. II. Alexander s Co.
and r. W. s. Allen of Kentucky, have
formed joint stock company for the pur
pose Of establishing Il rope and hemp hack
Ing mandatory. Their buildings, ma
ohinerv. Sc. will be made ready for opera
ton about tie first of April next. Th
cost Of the patent, machinery and building
will be about $4,000. A more correc
idea Of the undertaking may he O3taine
from the annoxel notice from the Evening
News.
Sometime since we noticed in The New
that a company Of gentlemen in this city ha,
purchased Perry s Slaughtor's patent fo
manufacturing Bale Rope and that the,
would proceed TO erect Buildings for the re
ception and use Of the machinery, immedi
ately. In conformity TO this report we hav
now the pleasure Of stating that the groun
has been purchased and contracts made 70
the erection Of the necessary buildings. 1
commencement will I've made with HiH
Rope Machines and one Hemp Hacklcr.-
The former will spin and turn of bctwce,
400 and 500 lbs. Of Rope each, daily, NAL;
ing the aggregate 10000 TO $4,000 lbs, o
100 TO 100 coils. The Hacker will dres
and prepare for market, in the same tim,
between three and four tons Of Hemp.
The Tow taken from the dressed Hem
= will be used in the manufacture of Rop,
and the Hemp, when properly baed an
[ prepared, will be either sold in this, {
shipped TO other markets.
The advantage claimed for the machiner,
1 and the known enterprise of the gcntlemC
G who have taken it in charge, are sure il
cation Of its success.
o You have already seen the result Of II
meeting of the "unterrifed" Bentonians

" countenance upon the banner thrown to Il
i breeze by the Democrat" Benton's @
gan, which bears upon it the principles

D stands forth as the embodiment Of denocr
cy-and democracy is Benton.
