A NEW INVENTION.

We direct espccia: attention to the Card
Of D. j. RED, who is native of this Dis
trict, but for some years resident of Mis-
sissippi, and well known to many of our
citizens. His co-partner i'll the practice Of
law, having got patent for improvement
in the Cotton Gin, proposes to sell to any
who may wish the improvement. The I'M
provement consists in steel or iron curved
plate, placed at such an angle over the saws
of the Gin, as to give the roll spiral mo-
ton, thus bringing new surface of the
Cotton in contact with the saws at every
Revolution, and increasing the speed more
than 25 per cent, and improving the SAM
pie at least l 4 cent per pound.

IN SESSION.

Our Court has been in session since
Monday last, Ills Honor Judge WnIrSEs
presiding. The business will probably be
dispatched before the end of the week.
While tho Court was being organized,
an incident occurred, which we give as an
item of news, without endorsing the views
expressed. A question from tho Bench
His Honor wished to know if there were
any jurors present who wished to he excused
from attending the Court. J. EDWARD
CALHOUN rose and said:
May it please the Count: ask leave
to say one word. feel bound, in Justice
to myself i'll all candor, to say that 10
not consider an oath taken on the Bible
will impose, OH me, any obligation, because
after years Of careful examination, tho con-
viction is forced upon me, that it is con-
geries Of fraudulent fables. My infidelity
with respect to that book is well known to
the members of the Bar, and they may not
feel safe i'll letting their causes come before
one, who does not pariakc Of the supersti-
tions of this community"
Ills Honor asked if the juror wished to
he excused. Mr.. Calhoun replied:
:" My case is IL new and peculiar one, and
therefore it is submitted for the consid.ra.
ton OF the Court. The Law provides for
the Quaker juror, not for the Infidel one"
This would have been a startling dec!ara-
ton, but for the well known Infid.l opinions
Of Mr.. Calhoun. 1t however, created no
great sensation.

IMMENSE MASS MEETING.

On Friday last, we, like thousands of
others, had the pleasure of attending the
great demonstration in honor of PREsroM
). BROOKS. The day will not be forgotten
soon by the citizcns of this District. We
do not remember ever to have seen such
an immense gathering of the yeomanry of
the country.
LII our limited space, it would be impossi-
BILE to give more than brief outline Of
the proceedings. At the hour of O o'clock,
procession was formed by the Marshalls of
the day, and marched to the stand, lead by
a magnificent amateur baud Of music from
Edgcfield.
The President, DR.. S. V. CAIN, in few
brief remarks, introduced the orator Of the
day, Gen. S. McGowAN, who in speech Of
some thirty minutes, held the audience
still-bound at tile conclusion of which,
Maj. r. A. GRIFFIN presented to lion. P.
S. BRooKs silver goblet from the citizens
Of Laurens. DR.. PnEssLY presented n cane
i'll behalf Of citizen of Florida, formerly
resident of South Carolina. The Presi.
dent then introduced Hon. p. S. BRooKs
to the audience, who was received with
laundering applause. He spoke an hour :;
the most profound silence, except occasional
applause and cheering, prevailed. He gave
succinct view Of the slavery question-al-
luded to all the compromises upon this
question, us being stabs at the institution
acknowledged that his faith in the Demo.
cratic party had been weakened, but he
should vote for BUCHANAN rs the best man
for President-exposed the political trickery
of the Black Republican party, and held
them responsible for the difficulties in Kan
Sas.
Hon. ROBERT TooMBs, from Georgia,
was next introduced, and received with loud
applause. lie gave lucid exposition of
the state of political parties. He reviewed
those acts of Congressional legislation, un-
der the operation of which the South had
been defrauded of her rights. He wished
to hold on to the Union until the true men
of the North had been overwhelmed by
Northern abolitionism. He wished to
stand upon the Georgia Platform and
pledged Georgia to stand upon it--said
that he saw the Gaining between Baooxs
and SuMNER--that he saw it done, and it
was well DONE" Said ho, 1--WE Georgians,
If we are not Judges of ANYTHING else. we
are judges Of good licking.n
AT the close ef his sre,nsrks, dinner was
