From the Pine Bluff Do Bocages Cotton Press.

We mentioned few weeks since that udge Bocage, of this county, hal procured patent for his Jackscrew Cotton Press and spoke at length of some of its advantagesr Since that. we have found the following handsome com pliment to that useful invention in the Scien- utic American of recent date. The scientific American is orthodox authority on all matters pertaining to mechanical science. For the week ending the day of publication of the issue of that paper containing this notice of Bocage's Cotton Press, there were issued from the Bu- reau at Washington City fifty sir putents, from which number the editor selected six of the most prominedt and useful as subjects for edi- torlal comment, and Bocage's Press was one of the sir We have mentioned this to show in what important light this invention is regarded by the scientific men of the country Here is what the Scientific American says on the sub je"t, and we especially commend the notice to- our cotton producing readers:
 COTTON PREss.-This invention renders the Jackscrew Press capable of pressing upwards. and thus affords greater convenience. as the pressngboX can be situated in the picking or ginnug rcom, and the time and labor of trans porting the cotton down to the bottom of the press is saved. It also simplfies the press so that negroes can superinteud its management renders the follower self lowering, and lessens the weight of the rock bar which carries the follower without mdaring its strength at the point where the greatest strain comes upon it. The press, as whole, presents the perfection of simplicity and utility. It is the invention of Judge J. Bocage, of Pine Bluff, Ark, and was patented February 2i, 1858.
