Reasons why this Machine is Umi-
vcrs;aivy Preferred over AilSOlhers.


Because it is the only Sewing Machine
in the world ever invented so constructed as
to fully meet the demands oftamlies for gen.
eral use.
2 1t is very simple and is never liable to
get out Of order.
3 1t makes u seam which viii not rip,
though every thread stitch is cut.
4 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 spools, to all
varieties Of work.
1.-THE same Machine runs silk or linen
thread, and common spool cotton, with equal
facility.
8 This Machine will sew in the sleeves of
coat with the same ease and facility that it
sews straight seam.
8 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.
III The stitches made by this machine arc
more beautiful than any other made either by
hand or machine.
The price of the Machines at Office in New
York, range from SIS to $50, an additional
charge of $40 is only made on each machine
over New York prices at Office in Nashville,
to defray expenses Of transportation &c to

CREAsoTE A CURG FOR DysrNrEnY.--.
The Nashville Jo,snal Of Medicin.
and Surgery" contains an article on
The above subject, by J. W. Brown
M. D., the substance of which will
&c OF interest to many OF our readers.
tfo states that dyscntcry is the princ-
gal disease with which the physician
has to contend IN Tennessee, Arkan-
sas, and North Lonisiva; and in some
localities the mortality is frightiul.
Drs. McGrath e. WeiIder, ofLouisviIlc,
Arkansas, informed him that they had
treated three hundred cases Of the
most aggravated form with success by
the use Of crcasote; and in every case
which it was given Gf not delayed too
long, a marked improvement invaria-
bly, took place. The following is the
formula used by these gentlemen:
Croosotum, ten drops; acetic acid,
twenty drops; suIphate of morphine,
two grains-all mixed in an ounce Of
distilled water. A teaspoonlul ofthis
is given every three or four hours to
adults. Smaller doses are given to
children in gum-Arabic mucilagr.
Drs. McGrath and Weilder consid- |
or it nearly, if not entirely, q specific
in dyscntery. This disease is some
times very fatal and prevalent in all
parts Of our country, and children
about two years old, in the cities are
very liable to be attacked with it in
the months of July, August, and Sep
tcmber. Creasote and morphine alone,
We understand, are given in such ca
ses by New York physicians, but with
what general success we cannot tell
II the above receipt is certain rem.
edy for the disease, a knowledge ofthis
fact should.be promulgated to the ends
Of the earth

ATROCIOUs MURDER OF A NEGRO, AND ACQUITTAL
OF THE MURDERERs-A NEGRO CONVICTED or
RAPE AND SENTENCED TO BE HUNG-BRUTAL
ASSAULT UPON A DEFENCELE>s INVALID
THIRTY-NINE LAsHEs UPON THE BARE BACK

Cone pouden, Of The N Y. Tribune.
GArEsvILIr, Gates Co., n. C., Oct. 10, 1853.
Upon reading what have to write, your readers
will come 10 the conclusion that North Carolina is
curious State for the administration of justice. 1t sp-
pears almost impossible to convict white person OF
capital offence and even in the Of conyc-
ton the customary punishment for murder is seldom
inflicted. Should the victim OF murderous assault
by white man happen to be negro, every proba-
billy is that the guilty party will escape with IMMUNITY.
Not year passes bat that some cases Of this nature
occur within the borders of this State. trial for the
murder Of poor old Negro has jus, taken place at
the session Of the Superior Court held the pact week
in this place for Gates County, Hon. Judge Shepherd
presiding.
TIE case which awakened q mos. intense interest,
was that Of the Commonwealth VS.. Jason Franklin,
Robert Brinkly and Albert Yaun. The latter two
are NrgiBians by birth. What increased the IL
terest and excitement in the csse, the fact that
daughter Of the first prisoner, Franklin, iCorneha
Franklipl was the principal witness against the &C
oused. Her testimony interesting in It's details
and thrilling in its effect upon the bystaniers. Her
manner wss pathetic, and her childish and general
appearance touching, that it produced great sen
saion in the court room, and enlisted tender symps
thy in her behalf. For daughter to testify against
her father sa trial and which rarely takes
place in cour. of justice When does the scene is
certainly very solemn and impressive. The position
Of the wituess is responsible, solemn and fearful.
Upon her evidence hangs the LIE of beloved parent.
Tie ties Of blood and flial affection are touched.
Deep and amos. hear-bresking must be the struggle
that takes place in her breast between love for her
tatier and love Of truth. What darkness and gloom
must surround her. She feels that she stands between
her father and the awful frowns Of an ignominious
death.
The three men, Franklin, Brinkly and Vaup were
brought into court and the indictment read. {. II.
Hines esq., Solicitor for the First Circuit, appeared
in behalf OF the State. j. Parker Jorion and W. H.

TIE French Law OF MARRI.og.-In the late De
Riviere case, some light was thrown upon the peculiar
character Of the French law Of marriage, and the fo-
lowing recent illustration Of il may not be without IN
terest to our lady readers. Gahgnaai Gays:
Considerable interest was lately excited IN ease
of ptermarriage which has occurred at Pau. young
Frenchman Of respectable family in that place, some
time ago made the acquaintance Of young Enghsh
elri and fell in love with her. She represented that
she was Of highly respectable family, and had for
tune Of 1000, deposited at Couits's Bank. lie went
10 England and duly married 10 her In the Eagksh
form, at place called Ledbury. But 1t turDsd out
that bis wife of low origin, and had not farthing
in the world AMI the poor husband vas not only ar.
rested for debts which che had incurred but placed
himself in serious prcdicament BY drawing on
Messrs Coutts for funds which she did not possess.
He was undoubtedly duped, but nevertheless be -.
manned her husband. His family, however, took kGsi
proceedings to have the marriage set aside, and Tho
Court Of Pau decided that II u null and void, IL
asmuch az il was not effected in accordance with
French Isw-it not having been published in France,
and the consent of the young mans parents not hav-
