Machinery In Chester.

The people of the South have long been GEN.
sured for the want of an euterprising spirit and
inventive talent. The prying genius Of the Yam
kee has 80 far superseded them in this respect,
that il is thought almost useless and vain to at
tempt any thing here which has not been fairly
tested and established in the North. But while
we attribute some of this to the pryiDg disposi
ton and inherent inventive talent OF the Yankee,
we also think that much Of it is owing to the fact
that We have not confidence in ourselves and that
our people do not give sufficient encouragement
and patronage to our men of genius to justify
them in embarkiug in doubtful undertaking.
These ideas suggested themselves to US the 9TH
er day as we visited the machinery Of Mr.. John
Simpson of this place. He is doing large bus
iness, and every thing is carried on by steam and
machinery. The 'saw.mil, Grist- Mill, Planning
Machine and all his other machinery are driven
by one engine aud exhibit great skin intheir ar
rangement. We know of few such establishments
Of machinery, and the labor Of such man as Mr..
Simpson should be appreciated In onr midst If
this establishment was in the North it would be
lauded by the Press and the public as 'the great
ever heard of or known beyond the limits of our
District. Such ought not to be the case, especi.
ally in these perilous times, should we encourage
our men of genius aud invention, and patronze
their establishments. Mr.. Simpson has done
much for our District in the way Of machinery,
and we are glad to see that his establishment is
beginning to attract attention from abroad. May
he continue to receive liberal patronage, and
realize just compensation for his machinery and
labor Chester Standard.

rH1RTY.s1xTH CONGRESS.

THIRTY-sIXTH CONGRESS-.
The first session of the thirty sixth Congress
opened, on Monday the 9th inst, with throng
of visitors, newspaper-repOrters and lobby mem
bers-and good deal of debate and wranging
1t is likely to prove an important session, mas
much as it will call forth the strength and tactics
of the various parties and manifest the degree
of harmony at the South and the opposition and
resistance to Federal encroachments on Southern
rights and liberties.
Southern members are boldly meeting the 1ues-
ton of all absorbing interest to their section
They seem generally to have adopted for their
motto: "We are for aight-forward, manly
dealing" Mr.. MASON, Senator from Virginia,
introduced on the first day of the session, reso-
luton, which wepublish in another column, for the
| appointment of committee to inquire thoroughly
into the facts of the Harper's Ferry emeute and
to report "whether any and what legislation
may be necessary to preserve the peace Of the
country. This resolution, brought forward thus
early, and striking, as it does at the very heart
of disturbances, fell like an unexpected thunder
clap on the Senate. The Black Republicans be-
gan to shift about for q shield to protect them;
when, 10 Mr. TRUMBULL, of Illinois, brought
| forth the brilliant amendment to inquire, also,
into the facts attending somewhat similar act,
committed at Liberty, in the State of Missouri,
nearly FIVE years ago! Facts lead US to the be-
lief that this amendment was intended for no other
purpose than to clog and trammel free and Impair
tial inquiry into the extent, nature and procur
ing causes of the Harper's Ferry invasion.
Hon. JAMES CHEsNUr, on the 7th inst made q
clear and healthful speech on the resolution, as
amended by the Senator from Illinois. After
stinging Mr.. TRUMBULL with a few sharp and
pointed queries, as to the purpose of introducing
this amendment, he goes on to declare that the
South do not ask sympathy; they stand upon their
rights-they ask for 'justice, simple, unmixed,
full iustice;" and, passing over the book Of Hell
per and his endorsers, explains to the Senator
from Wisconsin what has produced all this trouble
and what the people of the South mean. "Iti the
miserable intermeddling, nefarious spirit of many
of the people of our associate States with matters
which concerns them not" that has produced the
trouble. He shows conclusvely that the doctrines,
promulgated by Mr.. SEWARD in a speech deliver
ed in the Senate chamber on Sd March, 1858,
culminate in just such outbreaks as we have re-
Gently seen SEWARD then declared that "free
labor was organizing itself to assume the govern
ment; and to invade US soon-in Delaware, Mary-
land, Virginia, Missouri and Texas" What more
natural than for the rude unlettered mind Of the
North to catch up these sentiments, and wage
more 6ercey than ever, the irrepressibe conflict"
He said, further, that recent ebullitions mean,
that the heart Of the Southern people has been
! stirred-they have seen the impending danger

MI. 1Iason's Resolution.

The following is the resolution Of Senator Ma
son, Of Virginia, which he introduced shortly after
the organization of the Senate and which has
caused the excited debate in that body for the
past few days:
Re,olvea, That Committee be appointed to
nauire into the facts attending the late invasion
and seizure Of the Armory and Arsenal Of the q.
States at Harper's Ferry, in Virginia, by band
of armed men, and report whether the same was
attended by armed resistance to the authorities
and public force of the United States, and by the
murder of any Of the citizens Of Virginia, or of
any troops sent there to protect the public proper
ty: whether such invasion and seizure was made
under color of any organization intended to sub.
vert the Government of any of the States of the
Union what was the character and extent Of such
organization, and whether any citizens of the q.
States not present, were implicated therein or ac
cessory thereto, by contributions Of money, arms,
munitions or otherwise; what was the character
and .xtent of the military equipment in the hands
or under the control Of said armed band, and
where, and how, and when the same was obtained
and transported to the place so invaded. That
said Committee report whether any and what leg
islation may, in their opinion, be necessary on
the part of the United States for the future pres
ervation of the peace of the country, or for the
safety Of the public property and that said
Committee have power to send for persons and
papers.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS.

The Attorney General of Virginia, Mr.. TUCKER,
and the Postmaster General, MIR. Holt, have both
declared that the circulation of obnoxious and
incendiary publications may be prohibited by the
States. Mr.. TICKER says that the Federal power
to transmit, does not carry with it the power to
publish and circulate, mail matter. In conform
ity with this view, Mr.. HOLT says that such pub
licatious may not only be prevented from circula-
ting, but may be destroyed, They have the same
right to do this, that man has "to pluck the
burning fuse from bombshell which is about to
explode at his feet.'

"THE IMPENDING CRISIS"

s'The impending crisis of the South" is the title
of work by HINTON Rowan HELPER alias Hell
FER, which proposes and plans for carrying on
the work of treason aud insurrection commenced
by old BROWN, and is "endorsed and circulated
by the leaders Of the Black Republican party, in
oludipg sixty-eight members of Congress-" This
HELPER, or HELPER says Mr.. B1aas, Of North
Carolina, is Southerner-a thief-a fugitive
from jussice-''a dishonest, degraded and dis
graced man." Yet, on the authority of this man,
the leaders of the Black Republicans are sending
forth vile, libellous, inHammatory publication
against the South and backing it with Congress.

Message of Governor Wise.-Governor Wise, in
his Message to the Legislature, gives history Of
the Harper's Ferry invasion. He thinks the mo-
tive of the North is to see whether we will face
danger now sealed in blood, and says we must
face it, and have settlement at once-the sooner
the better. Replying to Mr. Buchanan's opinion,
that the United States Government have no right
to interfere in such cases as the Harper's Ferry
invasion, he says it is an alarming announcement
to the slave States, adding that we must rely on
ourselves and fight for peace. 81 say, then, to
YOUR tents-orgauize and arm" He recommends
that Virginia now demand from each State Of the
Union what position it intends to maintain in re-
spect to slavery, and that she permit more tenn
porizine with the Constitution; no more compro-
mises. He recommends the enrolling Of all citi-
