is an attachment of the gin to the latter ma
chnery that constitutes his improvement
Detail as to the modes of this arrangement is
not necessary. 1t is sufficient to say that
seed cotton, by the means proposed by Mr..
Henry, is to be converted into merchantsble
yarn, on the plantation and in one continu-
Gus process. BY this operation he expects
to relieve the planter from the labor of pack
ing his cotton in bales, the mode now adopt
cd for convenient transportation, the danger
oi loss from damages in shipment, injury to
the staple from the force Of immense pressure,
the necessity of opening and disentangling it,
breaking up Of fibre and waste Of material.
lie expects to gain also many advantages o.
yer the plans now adopted.
The cotton is taken Immediately from the
gin, passed through cleansing machinery and
spun into yarns whilst the cotton is open and
ieecy, dvested of dust and trash, oily and
strong, in the fall and winter months, whilst
the fibre is new and uninjured, and before
ithas been matted or deteriorated by hand
ling. This process he proposes to perform in
one operation and with the ordinary labor Of
the plantation, and to produce better yarn,
without waste, than can be made after the
cotton has gone through the strain of pack
ing and the loss of opening. Now, all this
is proposed to be done without any greatly
increased outlay Of additional capital and
with the ordinary force of the plantation.-
How far it can be done we are unable to de-
termine. What number Of spindles, what
cost, and what power it would require to man
ufacture crop of ten or one hundred bales
of cotton into yarns in time for market, we
have no means of calculating. But the data
for the resolution of these questions are east
ly obtained, and We can but refer them to
the intelligent investig igation Of those persons
who may wish to avail themselves Of Mr..
Henry's invention, with the hope that the
solution of the problem may enable Southern
industry to avail itsclfof Mr.. Henry's inven-
ton and realize the advantages which he so
confidently propounds. Should his idea be
reduced to economical practice, it would add
immensey y to Southern commerce and wealth.

There is beauty il le streamlet,
Murmuring soft. through the grove;

While the blue, foam-crested billows
Dance and frolic .ioyously;
There's beauty in the lig htning CLEANS,
That Ger the dark waves rove;

When the heart is full Of love!
There ia beauty in the brightness

In the sweet, low voice, whose accents
The spirits gladness prove;

THE SLEEP OF PIANrs-The way in which sleep is shown in the vegetable kingdom is in- finitey more variable than among animals Man throws himself proStratc some kinds of monkeys lie on their sides the camel places its head between it's forelcgs ; and birds roost their reads beneath the wing. Beyond these are few remarkable differences. But in plants there is no end to the curious and beautiful di- vcrsty which rewards the seeker in natures mysteries. Some plants droop their leaves at night the flat part becoming tlaccid and pen dulous Others, of the kind called "com- pound" as clover and yetchcs, close their leaf lets together in pairs and occasionally the whole leaf drops at the same time The three leaflets of clover bring their faces to the out side, and so form little triangular pyramid, whose apex is the point of union between the leaflets and their stalks Lupnes, which have leaves resembling seventy y-tingcred hand with closed paraso Chickwecd raises its leaves so as to embrace the stem and some species of lotus, besides many of it's elegant family, the LcguminoSe, bring them together in such q way as to protect the young liowcrbuds and immature seed vessels from the chilly air of night These are only few out of the many cases which could be inStanced of chauge of position in leaves, whilst in flowers there seems to be no limit to variation. The greater part shut the petals at night, the stalks declining on one side but there are some which roll their petals back, and curl them up like mini ature voIutes. The sleep of such plants is probably unuccompanied by any external change. The same may be said of Campana- Jus and other bell-shaped flowers of Crucifcrp it should have been observed, are remarkably careless of repose. Their sleep never appears sound or even constant for many successive nights they seem restless, and in the morning always look dozy and uncomfortable. When flowers are overblown, or the plaut, if an an- nual, is near its decay, the phenomena of sleep are very considerably diminished In fact they are only seen ill perfection when the growing powers of the plant are in full ener- gy. Deciduous treeS-that is, such as cast their leaves in autumn--are in sort of trance iu the winter months. Flowers, too, lose their sensibilities altogether, when the period of fertilization is passed, as may be readily seen by inspecting q field of daisies early in the morning, before the dew is off the grass. The overblown one will be found wide open .those in the younger stages al! crimson-tipped and sound asleep.

DESTRUCTION OF ANrs.--A valuable discov- cry has been made by French gentleman, whose garden was invaded by ants. They swarmed at Ramboniet, in his Aower-baskets and among his fower-brds to such degree that it was impossible to attack them without killing the plants NJ. du Rihert therefore took another course After stirring well up the ant heaps and removing the eggs" he scattered over them few handfuls of guano ]; and with such snccess, that his whole garden was presently cleared This gentleman re- gards guano as an ant-poison, and he declares 5t to be his conviction that, under all circum- stances, its action will be the same He found It useful to water the gmno slightly after hay ing applied it, but it does not appear that this was oi so much consequence to the ants as to the plants A writer in the Gardeners Chron- icle says, in order to test this statement he has made few experiments with the most sat- isfactory results.

LET US BE THANKFuL.-Though good beef continues at prices appalling to the poor; though butter is to many people of even moderate means, an unapproachab ble subject still let us be thankful. The croakers have been utterly disappointed The harvest proves to be one of the most glorious that ever became golden in Gods sunshine. From myrads of fields swell the glad tidings and let the heart of the na ion rejoice We shall have many bar rel of flour beyond our wants, and perhaps, many more than there will be any demand for abroad ; for there, too has the harvest filled every barn. The summer is passing away, and all gloomy antlcipations have come to naught
 The earth has responded to the touch of the plough with richest abundance, assuring US of plenty, and promising that every mouth shall be satisfied. The trees are heavy with luscious fruit-and this luzury will be within reach of us all The breath of pestilence has blown nowhere within the borders of our hppy land Health has followed abundance to our freside and even the worst apprchensons of civil strife have yielded to the general sunshine that our skies have shed through the Union If ever people had reason to thank the Givet of all Good for blessings conferred, surely it is the free, powerful, wealthy and prosperous Ameri- can nation.-Yet how many of us pause to think of this, or to contrast our condition with that of less favored peoples, or those of other years, when famine and epidemic and disas- trous wars have claimed their victims by tens of thousands ! We grow reckless with too much prosperity, and therefore are more appal- led when sudden stroke of misfortune comes among ns, like thunder clap upon a holiday feast.

 DANIEL MORGAN The name of Daniel Morgan, the celebrated commander Of the Eir- ginia rihemen, is household word in Virginia His remains repose at Winchester A Je1sev- man by birth. he early emigratcd to the Nir- gilia wdS, and was a smith in the French War Tall, muscular, and nurcd to all hardShips, lie was fond of adventure, famed for intense dar- ing and lair-breadth escapes. He had been grossly insulted by one British officer, and se- yercly punished by another in the name of King George. He vowed vengeance and kept his VOW. At the opening of the Revolution, he raised battalion of rilcmcn. and drilled them to perfection. They spurned the bay onct, and relied on the deadly aim of the rife.
 He used to say the business of his men was to kill. not to be killed At the battle of Sar- atoga, seeing the day was going against the Americans, by reason of the extraordinary skill and energy of General Frazer with his Scotch division, he resolved to resort to the only measure conceivable to arrest the tide of battle that threatened to oycrwhelm thcm.
 Summoning to his presence the best marks man in his command, whose aim was never known to fail, he said to him, Murphy, GO you see that officer on the iron gray horse :? Do your duty Murphy ascendcd tree, cut away the lnterlaced branches wlth his hatchet rested his rife in sure place, watched his op- portunty, and as he saw Frazer, in bis anma- ted movements, come within practical range fired, and the gallant General fell mortalIy wounded, being shot through the centre of the body That fall decided the day. The enc my soon gave way, and Saratoga became i'm mortal But Morgan the rough soldier was a man of tender feelings, aud he almost wcpt at the deed, and always said it troubled him be- cause it looked so much like kind of assassin ation of brave and noble officer, though gal ant as that officer, was, he placed himself there to be shot at, and was engaged in shoot, ing others.
