NEW PATENT.
Hlhe undersigned having prosured

TTyhe undersigned having procured the exclu- l sive right of manufacturing andsellipg to the citizens of Prairie county Arkansas. the late improvement in blows, (known as Har- ris' twelve pointed shovel and turning plow,)
 would inform the planters of said county that
 he is prepared to receive and fill all orderss which will be done in regular turn, notifying the person ordering, as soon as ready.
 This is no Yankee humbug for speculation, but was gotten up in the South by an expe- rienced workman, on scientific principles, to suit the wants of the cotton growing commu- nity, and five minutes examination will satisfy
 the most creduIous, that it is the neatest, best, and in the end, the cheapest blow ever of- fered.
 They will be put up at Atlanta, Prairie county, under the superintendence of an ex- perienced workman and no means or time will
 be spared in making them neat and durable
 The advantages of this over all other blows to the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go- ing to the shop, time saved in changing blows and the smiths bill. In this you have four distinct blows, all working perfect, (no sub- stitute in either,) which yon can change at pleasure on any part of your farm, no other tool being required but your clevis pin; first, you have a small shovel, suited for all ordi- nary purposes of that tool, by adding one mould, either right or left, you have good turning half shovel for ridging and milling and place a cutter before it and you have an excel- lent new ground piow: in the third place, put on both moulds and you have . large shovel, perfectly suited to breaking out the middles of cotton rows: and fourth, by reversing the moulds of the large shovel, you have good cotton sweep, all four working better than you can get any common smith to make of wrought iron. In addition you have, by adjusting the point, (whichis is made of the best of wrought blow steel J five extra points and eleven extra sharpcnings, over other blows, which h said, by some of the most prominent planters iis North MississiPpii,. to be: sufficient for five cutter, or ST 50-100 with cutter attached; these are shop prices. twin send them to Brownsville or Hickory Plain, in lots of 20 for $3 per lot or to Des Arc, at $6 per lst < R5Y- Terms invariably cash on delivery of the blow.

 A Trip to the Pigeon Rosst, etc.

0, fly to the Pigeon Roost, and we will tell You glorious tale, Capt. J. c. MORRILL,; Of the chickens and pigeons, without number, That were slain as they pass'd our way like
 thunder.
 Confinement to the editorial chair has doubt less stifened your wings, and flight so far distant would not be a very pleasant under taking. With this reasonable supposition we win come to your sanctum without further ceremony and tell you of the fine times we had on Grand Prairie, and some of the won ders of the Pigeon Roost.
 Early cne lovely morning last week, in com pany with Col. w. W. Wair, Dr. O.. A. Rives and GULL, and L. D. Hardshaw's we'll trained pointers, left your beautiful. town FEN ROUTE for the Pigeon Roost. According to previous arrangement we halted at the residence of Col B. B. Allen, one of Carolina's most mo- ble sons, who has recently settled in Arkansas Judging from the snowy whiteness of his neat iy arranged and widely extended fields, he must be No. farmer, and will enjoy rich reward from the prolific soil he has cultiva- ted. At Col. Aliens we met with s. Massin- gill, Esq, of North Carolina, one of the Coloneps old companions and boyhood friends, kind hearted, high-tcned gentleman, who is on vistit to this section in search of new home. He is highly pleased with the lands in this country, and we hope the day is not far distant when he will be " one amongst ds."
 After partaking of sumptuous dinner pre- pared by the direction of Mrs. Allen, we re- sumed our trip, Col. Allen and Mr. MassingiA accompanying us. At early dusk we halted at the residence of Col. R. E. Rives, two miles from Grand Prairie We have often been the recipient of kindness-but never were we met with heartier welcome, or a more free bestowal of favor and and kindness than we received at the happy home of this kind family.
 After pleasant and refreshing sleep we awoke the next morning, enjoyed fine break fast, and were soon again on our way, our number augmented by the company of Messrs. J. I. Farrar and David Ross, two high spirit ed, jovial, fine fellows--just the spirits for such hunt, and better marksmen are but sell dom found. We soon reached the widely ex- tended and beautiful prairie.
 ssType of the Infinite I look away
 Over thy pillows, and cannot stay
 My thoughts upon resting place, or make A shore beyond my vision, where they break But on my spirit stretches, till it's pain
 To think; then rests, and then puts forth again.' Our dogs were soon busily engaged and in very short time flushed several prairie chick ems, which were no sooner up and on the wing than they were brought down by the unerrine aim of our marksmen. In little while we were out of ammunition, but had a goodly number of delicious birds in it's stead. Wt then crossed the prairie to the beautiful village of Brownsville, where we replenished ouI stock of powder and shot, got our dinners and hastened for the Roost, which we reached just in time to see the pigeons come in.

ANOTHER AMERICAN TRIUMPH.-We
have had frequent occasion recently to
speak of the success of the Atlantic
Monthly. We have been prompted to
do this from an honest pride at the accom-
plishment. not only of our own, but, we
believe, of a national desire, to see our
periodical literature vindicated from the
charge our English brethren have so often
brought against it, that it cannot ascend
above the level of lOve-sick stories and
sentimental poetry, because our reading
public can appreciate nothing better. Ma
ny an attempt has been made to establish
something similar to the heightened Pc
riodicals Of England, and as often as each
attempt has failed, the voice Of exultation
from the English press has been loud,
and the cry raised that we can't do it.
Well do we remember this when Put
MANS Monthly was compelled to give
way, in which we thought we had found
a refutation of the English opinion in
regard to us. But we can now safely boast
of triumph, as the Atlantic Monthly
has attained circulation of 40. 900, near
ly double that ever reached by Putnam's,
and is placed upon q sure basis, its pub
fishers being among the most enterprising
in our country, and have been actuated
to considerable degree in the establish
ment of the Atlantic, by this same NOR
tifying fact we refer to, that our Ameri-
can literature had no true exponent. The
many expressions Of favor and well wish
es received the past year from their sub
scribers, prove that they too have given
their support to the Atlantic from q de-
termination that our country, in spite Of
British misgivings, shall have periodi-
cal Of its own, not only equal, but even
superior, to any Of those published in
England. And aOso the English press
have honestly admitted that we have such
periodical, for the London Critic and
Atheneum have been lavish Of their
praise the past few months. The "Au-
tocrat" has been rspublished monthly in
London. IS it appeared in the Atlantic,
calling forth golden opinions and the con-
iessiOn that their own periodicals have
contained nothing so brilliant since the
"Noctes Ambrosiane." li
At the present time two different hous-
es in London monthly re-publish the
ministers Wooing," by Mrs. II. B.
Stowe, and its circulation there almost
exceeds the same here. We have heard
it stated that the editors have received
and approved, up to the Ersssnt time. suf-
fcieut material from American authors to
furnish several numbers fully equal to any
that have yet appeared. The April num-
Der is looked for a. one of the very best
yet isued. Wsrepeat again. that in chro-
melting the success of the Atlantic. we
are expressing national feeling of some
thing more than pleasure, that we have
at last accomplished our desires, and tia
our literature has such an ornament as the
Atlantic Monthly. = BOstOn Saturday

The EMIGRATION AND IT'S EFFECTs.-
The Chicago Tribune. in speaking Of the
emigration that is likely to flow to The
Kansas gold mines, has the following:
Nor is the movement likely to be coll
fined to our own continent. The war
like aspect of affairs in Europe is cansiuS
many there to set their faces towards this
country. The uncertainty of property IN
some instances, the fear of cOnscrPtiOn
in others, and the dread Of anarchy wher'
ever revolution threatens. will doubtless
lead to a greatly-increased foreign emf,
grafton the coming year. only q small
proportion of which will stop short Of the
West.
One of the immediate results OF tins
movement to the West will be an inersa:-
ed activity in every description Of OGsl'
ness. The gold hunters will take Cu'
little capital with them while those VINO
come from the older States, and nom
