y wishing to purchase, at No. 10 St. ~
Charles street, New Orleans, up stairs ~
The utility of these machines longer matter Of
opinion but settled fact, manufacturers at the North

interested and planters are fast bringing them
INTO general use, not only fort the use of their families
but especially for making up negro clothing.
An experienced hand, with one of Wilson's Rotary
Machines,-which takes from 1900 to 1900 stitches
per minute-can do the work of fifteen seamstresses
with ease
This machine is simple, and not liable to get ont of
order; it is not noisy complicated with
shuttle or two needles, and dozen or more Wheels
but on the contrary, neat little article working with
one needle only, not having shuttle or wheel in;

Senator Hammond's Speech.

Many of cur contemporaries have marveled
at the exceedingly low tone Of the late speech
Of Senator Hammond Of South Carolina, in
which. as IN all Southern speeches, the Slave
~ question was the theme. We have no diff
Guilty ia accounting for the Senator's manifest
backing down. He isyielding, as all Southern
men mus. yield-and none so quick as your
rampant fire eaters-to the unmistakeable and
earnest sentiment Of the North. The speech
is confession of the strongest man of the en-
tire South, that the threatenings and the rawlings
Of the last half dozen years, with which S,uth-
ern politicians have menaced the existence of
the Union itself, have been mere bosh. This
is encouraging. 1t is an earnest that we have
but to push on witt the frmness and modera-
ton heretofore displayed, to ensure, in the
couacils Of the nation and the policy Of the
Executive, the re-affirmation Of the old Dem
ocratic principles from which our pro- Slavery
politicians have so widely departed. The pur-
poses of Republication will then have been
acconplished.-[P Press and Tribune.

The Paraguay Expedition.

The Washington Union prepares us to ex-
pect trouble to the Paraguay Expedition. 1t
says:
We are likely to encounter more or less OBJ
stacles in the pr - cntion of such an enter
prise, and it would be strange, indeed, il a
naval expedition, looking to rosibe hos lie
encounter with the forces and forts of forigir
power. should come off without damage ia
some way; and it must be remembered that we
propose to visit nation whose population is
twelve hundred miles from the sea, with fort:
and military establishments, all Of which may
be brought to bear against us. If, then. we
find the river Paraguay INSTRUCTED, it will b.
our service to get rid u such obstacles as bes
we can. If the work shall he serio IA. it will
take little more Jf oar time an iat,,r; il tri
flng, thai will be our good luck. The Para
qua Expedition, however, in any event, will be
likely to visit the capital of President Lopez,
md, we trust and believe. only to procure from
him all the satisfaction our Commissioner IN ~

HUNGARIAN Grass A correspondent al

success in growing Hungarian Grass-two
bushels of seed from four quarts sown. 1t i.
verv nutriciops and sweet grass. and great
favorite with'horses and cattle. Sowed June
it matured August 1, standing dry weather well
The average yield is said to be six tons of dry
grass and thirty bushels of seed per acre. The
specimen sent US is finer stock than timothy
of the same length, with fine, sucnlent leaves
said to be more nutricious than timothy. i
forms large stosl from single seed, and.
although an annual, will pay better than mos
of the perennial grasses, as the hay is goot
when matured enough to ripen its seed, which
is valuable as oats. We are willing to endo rst
all that this OF any other correspondent has
SAID of this grass, except calling it new name
or rather believing it new species. 1t is the
same thing that We rec ,mneaded on the grea

The last advices from Oskaloosa would lead
TO the conclusion that perfect unanimity does
not exist there in relation to the point to which
they will build their railroad. public senti-
ment being divided between two and perhaps
three routes, one by way of Kirkville to Of
tumwa. one via same place to Agency City
and third inclining to Eddyville. We ac-
knowledge that we were deceived in relation
to this matter by the first intelligence received,
which seemed to look only to connection
with this place. In the present aspect Of the
question, we do not feel inclined to say much
about it, although We are very confident that
much might be said. We shall still feel fat
tered. il Oska)oosa should conclude to form
a connection BY rail with ns, either by way Of
Eddyville or Kirkville, but if they prefer to
20 to Dahlonega aud Agency City, we shall
congratulate those very thriving towns upon
their good fortune. ..

proposition was carried by thu almost unani-

ponents Of the measure have induced Judge
Woodward Of the Supreme Court to grant an

Woodward also forbids the Ju iga submitting

We regret exceedingly that few remarks
which We ventured to make about the recent
railroad movement at Oskaloosa, had the ef-
feet to arouse our sensitive ard excitable
friend up in the Northwestern corner Of this
county, but it did. He come down On US like
thousand brick, in the style Of the angriest
kind Of a hedgehog. We can think Of but
one safe and comfortable way to get along
with our friend, and that is not to NEEDLE with
him. This seems to be hard altern alive, for
really the Inducements on our part are strong
to live on friendly terms with him. He is our
near neighbor. and besides lives in COM
munitv for whom we entertain great respect.
But we have never, within our recollection, al
Iuded to him, even incidentally, without his
iaundlced eye fancying something disre-
spectful or unfriendly TO his town! We Ger.
tanly think that orr neighhor exhibits bad
taste as we'll as bad temper on these occasions.
Eddyville is right smart town; we admit it,
and have said II hundred times. 1t may Sc
cure a connection with the rest Of the world
perhaps. Certainly it will be much more like
ly to succeed in so doing, by cuItivating such a
spirit, ard behaving so amiably, that some
body will desire connection with them. We
are very confident that the nnamiable, sensi
tive and we must add, selfish disposition which
our neigbor has manifested towards the rest
Of mankind. has marred rather than promo
ted the railroad prospects Of our sister City
We would hope. that the foregoing might exert
a reformatory influence on our neighbor; but we
must Confess that the chances are decidedly
against it.
