do well to refer to our advertising columns for
the publication under this head. George &.
llcnry's invention of the Cotton Spinner has
Oeenfully tried in other States, as well as our
own, with complete success. It has been
eaectuully proved that for the same expense to
which they are now subjected, cotton planters
can double their profits with this newly invent
ed spinning machinery attachment. Little
negroes, women, or any inefficient field hands,
are fully able to conduct the machinery. See

RIAAIA AND TCRKEY.

The Count dc Gurowsk has lately appeared in
the public press to combat the idea that Russia still
desires to annex Turkey. According to this distin-
euished Pubhcist the present Car is entirely ab-
sorbed in two objects, namely: internal progress,
by the emancipation of the serfs, the construction
of railroads, and the general development of COM
merce and industry; aud the consolidation Of the
empire in Asis and the formation Of grest sest Of
power a, the mouth Of the River Amoor. These
purposes have supplahted the hereditary policy Of
acquiring the shores of the Bosphorous, which, &C.
cordipg TO NJ de Gurowski, is thus entirely sban.
doned at the Russian court. While We admit that
the opinion Of ii. de Gurowsh is entitled to great
weight on every question relating 10 Russia We
cannot but believe that in this instance his judg-
sian policy ought TO be, rather than BY rigorous
examination of the facts and probabilities of the

NAPOLEON AND THK POPE.

Louis Napoleon set out in the present war with
guaranteeing To the Pope the integrity OF his do
minions This guaranty was given no doubt, On
the same polite considerations Which led tO tho
occupation of Rome by French troops. the sap
precision of the Roman Republic. and the restors-
tiou of the Pspal Government. Regard for Plus
TX either as an individual OF a ruler. has nothing
10 do with it, II is not intended for his advantage,
but for that of Louis Napoleon himself who, By
such au offering to Buncombe, hopes to retain In
his following the millions Of jealous Catholics il
France who would be- alienated were be to pursue
in Rome the policy he professes for the rest Of
Italy, by letting the people kick the Pope over
board and put themselves under the gosernment oi
Sardinia. whether temporarily permanently.
But. in pursuing this course, Louis Nspoisos
has to encounter some pretty serious difficulties.
Thus, in Rome itself the Pope, the Cardinals, tho
local authorities all as decidedly Austrian iA
their feelings any member Of Francis Joseph's
staff Hence result collisions and ill-feelins not
only between the French officers and the big her
employees Of the Paps Government, but betweoa
the soldiery aud the lower orders Of the people
who are controlled and animated by the priest
hood. In some instances these manifestations
have gone very far, but the vigilance Of the
French commander-inc chief, Gen. Goyon, has pre-
vented any serious disturbance. He has also pro-
vented the citizens of Rome from declaring them
selves in favor of the national movement, which
would be an act of rebellion against the Pope But
be has not been able to do ths in tho provincial
towns; aud at one of these, Perugia, the Papd
authorities have taken bloody vengeance upoa
the rtbels, causing them to be shot down without
mercy BY the Pope's Swiss mercenaries.
Now, will Louis Napoleon allow Cardinal Auto-
nell 10 slaughter the subjects of Rome for express
ing their sympathy with what he is doing in
Lombsrdy and their desire 10 aid him This
seems hardly possible. Or will he order Antonelh
ts stop, and compel him to obey the order This
would be to favor rebellion, vd would deny to the
Pope the right 10 suppress it. In that event.
what becomes of the great edfce Of Bancombs
so laborousy erected tor the benefit Of tho Csths
lies of France
1t is a perplexing question; and it is hard TO 200
bow Napoleon III. can avoid serving Pho Mono vsry
much as Napoleon l. served Pho Settimo.
