Truly THIS Is AN AGE OF IMPROVEMENT.
We had the pleasure of examining yester-
day, new and highly important invention
of our townsman, ID. McCOmb, Esq, of
great value to cotton growers, 1t is new
method of fastening iron hoops on cotton
more secure than rope, and is of easy appli-
cation, so that Two hoops can be put on a
bale in the same time it requires to put on
one rope The hoop is much less liable to
decay than rope. and will not burn, and the
bale can be kept in less bounds than it is
possible to keep it with rope. This improv-
cd hoop promises to revolutionize the char
acter Of cotton packages, and will cost less
than rope. whilst it will be one hundred per
cent better than rope.

Hon. SoIon RnrIand.

We observe by card in the last number
of the Gazette and Democrat that the Hon.
Scion Borland retires from his connection
with that paper. We deem it altogether
superluous to refer TO Maj Borland's well
established character as an eloquent and
forcible writer. We must regret, however,
that our cause is to be deprived of the SER
vices of so effective champion. In CON-
mon with many friends, We wish him abun-
dant prosperity in whatever he may under
take Capt Danley will continue to edit
and publish the Gazette and Democrat, and
make it what beyond peradventure it now
is, one of the best papers in the Mississippi
valley.

A Portrait of the Papacy.

The brief, but terse and vigorous
sketch of the most stupendous conspi-
racy against the rights of man, which
the world has ever seen, which we ap-
pend below, is from the pen of PREM
TiCE, of the Louisville Journal, the
man who, of all others, most deserves
the thanks and confidence of the Amer
lean Party; for, since its primary or
ganization, he has. labored with fiery
and effective zeal in Its behalf, which
has, in the influence which it has ex-
erted in favor of the party, been abso-
lutely astonishing
''The Papacy, that deepest conception
and mightiest achievement of Satan, into
which he hath admitted the whole canon
of truth, and yet contrjved that 1T should
breed only foul and pestilent darkness :
Oh !. it is an ample net for catching men,
delusion and bondage made for the world
No partial error, like that of the Gnostics,
framed out of mystic imaginations- that
of the Arians, framed out of the proud ar
guments of reason-or that of the Munster
Anabaptists, framed out of the licentious-
ness of the will; but stupendous decep-
tion and universal counterfeit of the truth,
which hath chamber for every natural
faculty of the soul, and an occupation for
every energy of the natural spirit Pa
gan Rome is Satan's work, constructed
with his own materials of ambition, arms,
policy, and knowledge; but Papal Rome
/ is Satan's work, constructed with the ma
terials of God. revealed in His Holy Word
The system of Popery is altogether work
of Satan, constructed with the images OF
Holy Writ, and hence Its power to de
ceive and Its vast and long protracted i'll
auencc over the minds Of men; and
even in many cases where Its name and
open authority are rejected, the influence
of its doctrines is injuriously felt,-as
amongst all who attach d peculiar sanctity y
to any particular collection Of elect wor-
shippers on earth, and to any particular
system of faith and form of worship, as il
such were the ONLY divinely appointed
church, system of faith, and form of wor
ship, to the utter and entire exclusion o.
all men, however humble, loving, faithful
merciful. God-fearing, and dutiful, who
may happen to differ in opinion from

Other business demanding a portion
of our time and attention, we have, in
order to maintain, or rather to increase,
the interest of our paper, and render ii
more acceptable to our readers, and more
worthy of an extended patronage, secur-
ed the services of Mr. A. T. HAwLEY,
a gentleman OF ability and experience,
who becomes associated with us in the
editorial department.. For some time a
citizen of our State, he is not unac-
quainted with her wants and interests
and intending to make his permanent
residence among us, becomes identified
with us in the promotion of such mea-
sures as VIII tend to accelerate our i'm
provement and progress
Of Mr.. HIS experience as an editor
we have satisfactory evidences, having
known him in that capacity in 1858.
Of his ability, both as writer and ca
terer, We prefer that our readers, to
whose favor VIC commend him, should
Judge for themselves.

FILLMORE AND D0NELs0N.

Never, in the political history of our
Government, have the popular manifes-
tatlons of determination to elevate the
nominees of political party to the sta
tions to which they aspire, been more
clearly perceivable, or of a more enthu-
siastic character, than are the manifes-
tations which have marked the recep-
tion of the nominations of FILLMORE
and DONELsON. Unmistakable eviden-
ccs of gratifying unanimity of feeling
In their behalf accumulate so rapidly
upon our table, that It becomes as clear
as the sun at MONDAY that political
revolution is going on in the minds of
the people, which will result in the tri-
umphant elevation of these noble and
welltried statesmen to the positions for
which their exalted characters, as patri-
OTIS, so eminently entitle them.
There are few facts better established
than that MILLARD FILLMORE occupies,
this day, a more honorable rank in the
estimation of the American people than
any one of our statesmen. All men concur
in according to him honesty of purpose
and an infiexible integrity of charac-
ter-unitod to n oonaidorato and f:lr-see.
ing ability, which qualify him for the
faithful and worthy discharge of the du
ties of any station to which the prefer
ence of his fellow-citizens may elevate
him We shall take early occasion tC
prepare sketch of his political career
which is in very truth record un
spotted, and free from any Objectionable
features.
The name of Mr. D0NELsON is familiar
to the country, and it may truthfully b.
said that he stands on a proud cini
nence, patriotically devoted to the Unor
and to the proper development of The
true spirit of our institutions Like bi:
distinguished associate upon the Amcri
can ticket, he deserves and will comn,anc
the confidence and support of the Amer
