MACHINES Fer CUTTING UP CoKS.-There are
two models Of machines for this purpose at
the Crystal Palace, both Of them too small to
convey any correct idea Of their probable eff
cheney. One by j. L. Ream, Of Pulaski, Ill,
is a simple and cheap machine, consisting
Of pair Of thills with an axel, and two wheels
about feet apart, then as the horse walks be-
tween two rows Of corn, both rows Of corn,
both rows are caught inside the wheels and
cut Of by knives attached to the axel, and the
stalks falling backward, are retained till the
attendant, by touching lever let's them fall
in punches ready for binding or setting up.
The other, by W. B. Coates, Of Washington
City, is more costly and cumbersome affair,
and may be better adapted for the large stalks
of southern corn. II consists Of platform on
four wheels, on one side Of which is strong
knife which reyolves half around and cuts the
stalks with blow as they are gathered BY 3
reel, and when cut they fall on the platform
from which they are discharged at intervals.
This machine il is said. can be also adapted
for eating hemp.-0hio CHltivafor.

Keep to the right as the law directs,
For such is the law of the road
Keep to the right, whoever expects
Securely to carry ife's load.
Keep to the right with God and the

STATE OF THE TURKISH ARMY.-A
melancholy account of the state of the
Turkish army is given by a medical
man in the Turkish camp. He states
that 5000 Turkish soldiers had already
died, and that over 5000 were sick and
missing: and then adds:
In addition to cholera, intermittent
fever, and dysentery, the Turkish camp
is visited by new plaques in the shape Of
typhus, ugly wounds, hunger and
cold. The writer Of the letter saw the
troops, half of which were badly dress
ed, badly disciplined, and badly fed
Asiatics and Egyptians, march to the
Danube, "almost without medical atten-
dants. The Turks, strong in faith,
reckoned on the clear skies, the mild
ness Of temperature, the promises OF
consignments ofprovisions and uniforms
from Varna, and of physicians with me-
dicine, surgical instruments, and ban
dages from Constantinople. Omer Pasha
did everything that general possibly
could do, but his exertions to secure a
footing in Wallachia and Moldayia we're
in vain. Rain, snow, wind, and storm
conspired against him, and the loamy
roads were soon in such sad state that
the transport Of the necessaries of life
for large bodies of troops was found to
be impossible, and the Turkish army
had no choice but to retraee its steps,
The dearth of provisions begins TO be
very alarming, and the clothing of the
men is miserable in the extreme. The
skins of the newly-killed, half-starved
sheep are Immediately cut up to make
covering for the naked feet Of the SOL
diers."

MuRDER.-A man by the name Of
John Davis, aged about 60, supposed
to be from johnson County. ILL.,, was
found murdered near Sugar Pine Greek,
Aug, LIST. He was shot through the
body, just below the fifth rib. His body
had been dragged some distance from
the road where he fell, and had been
somewhat eaten by the coyotes. He
was an inofensive old man, and had
been engaged in making shingles, near
the place where he was killed. 1t ha.
been reported that he was killed by In.
dams but this is mistake, rs no Indi-
ans have been in the vicinity for the
last year and half. Various other ru
more are afoat in regard to the manner

who committed the awful tragedy, OF
why it was done.

For Assessor

At last the ties Of Democratic BROTH
erhood in California have been severed,
the golden bonds Of unity rent asunder,
and the party o. progress and universal
liberty is divided against itself, and
threatened with disastrous defeat and
entire anihiliation. It is even as we
had feared and predicted.
1t Is unnecessary to trace the various
causes which led to that division from
the first agitation Of tho Senatorial e.
lection question,-which was crushed
by the unmistakable mandate of the
Democratic masses, and which is now
engraved on the pages Of history as a
warning for the future, to the Conven-
ton scenes in Sacramento. The history Of
that memorable day is still fresh in our
memories. We will not dwell on the
oficious, insulting efforts of the minori-
ty, as attempted to be carried out by
their ambitions leader, nor upon tho OBJ
durate, uncompromising spirit Of the
majority,-too much having been al
ready said, we fear for an ami able ad-
justment Of the difficulties now existing
between the two divisions eff the party.
Every harsh word spoken or written,
but tends still further to widen the
breach between US, and every day the
spirit Of harmony and reconciliation re-
eedes still farther in the distance, until,
unless bond Of union is Immediately
effected, it will be lost in the clouds of
obstruction, which are already casting
their darkening shadows over our heads.
At the head Of our columns are the
names Of the regular democratic nomi-
nees Of the party; men who have been
selected by the majority Of the delegates
Of the people as the opponents Of dem
ocratic principles; as the defenders of
that faith and the advocates OF those
measures, the practical operation of
which has been to carry the starry ban
ner OF our country over every sea, and
to shower heavens choicest blessings on
our own glorious republic
Democrats, arouse from the lethar-
getic sleep which Expresses you; drink
not deeper Of the bitter cup of resent
ment ; do not permit your ancient enc
mies,-who have been often crushed by
your strong arm and unbending will -
again to spring into vitality and powr !;
to exult over the downfall Of your cher
ished principles, and trample in the dust
your trailing banners, in their onward
march to positions Of power and trust :
do not permit ambitious and selfish men.
who, because they cannot rule would ru-
in, and who, to crafty petty spirit of
