Reported Death of the Emperor of China.
The Christian Adyocate of the 10th
publishes the following intelligence,
from a gentleman whom we suppose to
be an American missionary in China:
Fun CAU, China, March %, 1858.
cit is currently reported that the
Emperor is dead. The Russian en-
bassy received letters from Pekin, dated
on last Christmas day, stating that the
emperor was very sick; that his lower
limbs were entirely paralyzed, and that
he could not live much longer. The
English. embassy received news via
Canton from Pekin, dated in February,
1858, to the effect that the emperor is
dead. This report, however, is not
credited here. The report of the en-
peror's dangerous illness seems to be
well authenticated and it is highly
probable his death may soon add a
fresh complication to the present nego-
tiations. and furnish another link to the
chain Of great events by which God is
opening up this mighty empire to the
Gospel of his Son.

Sale of Swamp Lands---LOcOf0cO Scheme
900 Defeated. rDet se

2 Some of the Locofoco papers, having
nothing else to growl about, are growl-
ing because the Commissioners of the
Land Office did not open migrating
establishment, and go to all the coun-
ties in the State to offer the swamp
lands for sale. By this splendid Loco
foco scheme, they would have had the
Commissioner hiring an office and
spreading his books and papers in Hills
dale, to sell the SO acres for sale in that
county and after waiting a week or
ten DAYS, if it was not sold, TO pack up
and go to St. Joseph county and offer
the 40 acres there. Then they would
have had him 90 to Gladwin, Crawford,
lOgemaw, Oscoda, Iosco, and other
counties, where there is not single
iinhabitant, and spread his documents
on a log before the mosquitoes and
black-flies, and owls and bats, of those
localities, and call over his list and de-
mand bidders, when there would not
be a solitary human being within loo
miles of'hifn. If man should happen
to want lot in any of those counties.
the Locofocos would have forced him
to have followed the Commissioner
there to purchase it, and perform the
solemn act amid the bowling of wolves
and the hooting of feathered Locofocos
But to show the utter foolishness of the
idea of going to each county to offer
these lands, we have only to state the
fact that they are situated in JJfty-sia
different counties, and it would have
taken more than .foser years to have
offered them all, if the Locofoco plan
had been adopted, of offering them tc
nobody but the bats, and owls, and
mosquitoes. The plan adopted by the
Commissioner is the only one that
could have been carried out with any
degree of success. Detroit Adc.

Now that Congress has adjourned
sine die, and their acts are before the
people for their investigation, it might
be well to scrutinize their doings a
little, ard look into the conduct of the
present administration The following
are among the most prominent acts
passed during the session.
The Lecompton Constitution and the " English
Bill. fff kf,fl ~ TFH
The Treasury Note Law =.
The 500, 900, 900 loan Bill
The admission Of Minnesota
The bill authorizing Seven Steam Shops of War;
The Civil Appropriation Bill, including the Cap
itol Extension, the Washington Aqueduct, &C., &c.
The Army Appropriation Bill
The Indian Appropriation Bill.
The Post Office Appropriation Bill.
The bill for the Collection of the Revenue
The Ocean Mail Steamer Bill. ee
The Military Road Bill from Astoria to Salem,
Oregon.) ee i
Let us examine the character of some
of the above acts. 1t will be seen that
the Loan Bill was passed for taoe,ty
million dollars instead of fifteen as at
first proposed. This was done in ac-
cordance with Recommendation of the
President, brought in at the very close
of Congress, in which he stated that he
had discovered that several millions
more money were required to meet the
expenditures ofthe government for the
first two quarters of the next fiscal
year than had been estimated by Sec.
rotary Cobb, and hence a failure on the
part of Congress to furnish him all the
money he scanted would be a disgrace
to the country. The bill was passed
for twenty millions, which makes the
account stand thus for sustaining the
government up to the present time:

CoLrs.-ln handling Colts, the same
or more care and good sense should
be exercised. Always keep on good
terms with the colt, if you expect him
to improve in your hands; and do not
apouse the devil in him, thinking you
can drive it out by violent handling:
that is just the way to make baulky
and runaway horses, or broken down
and mean-spirited ones. Cherish the
pride and selt-esteem of the colt,
but bring him gently to know that
you must always be promptly obeyed.
Accustom him to sudden noises and
movements, in such n way that he
will see they will not hurt him. We
can almost invariably recognise a
country horse in our city streets by
his shying and squatting at every un
usual noise or sudden movement,
which our well-trained steeds take nc

WHEAT few years back, it was
the popular opinion that wheat was
not a profitable crop in Middle and
West Tennessee. 1t was a great err
ror, and happily for the country it now
no longer exists. Wheat is to be the
great staple of Tennessee. The peo-
pie of Tennessee have heretofore won
the highest renown in indicating the
rights and honor of the country upon
the field of battle. Our warriors are
amongst the bravcst Of history. "But
Peace hath its triumph, no less re-
moved than war" Our people now
cultivate the Arts of Peace. We send
bread to less favored States. From
every section of the Commonwealth
we have the most favorable accounts.
Thousands and tens of thousands of
broad acres are to-day "arrayed in
living green;" in a little more than a
month the yellow harvest will come,
and the golden fields will be ready for
the sickle.
There will be full barns, smiling ia
ccs and happy hearts. Peace and
plenty will abound. From the facts
before us, we estimate the coming
crop, should no misfortune happen be-
tween now and harvest, at fifteen mil |
lion bushels. We shall not be sur
prised if it should yield even more.

to fully meet the demands ofIamilie5 for gen.
era use.
lit is very simple and is never liable to
get ont of order.
3 1t makes Il seam which viii not rip,
though every thread stitch is cut.
a 1t is not shuttle machine.
5 1t sews with too needles, making any
length stitch desired.
6 1t sews from two ordinary spools, and
thus all trouble or winding thread is avoided
while the same Machine can be adapted at
pleasure, by a mere change of spooIs, to all
varieties Of work.
1.-THE same Machine runs silk or linen
thread, and common spool cotton, with equal
facility.
This Muchine will sew in the sleeves of
q coat with the same ease and facility that it
sews stra ight seam.
This Machine can be run to make one
thousand five hundred stitches per minute.
10 The seems are as elastic as the most elias
tic fabric so that it is free from all liability
to break in washing, ironing or otherwise.
IL The stitches made by this machine are
more beautiful than any o;her~made either by
