u ING HARROW. Patented May 25th, 1858.
The attention Of manufacturers of agricultural
implements, and the raisers of small grain, is invit
ed to a recent and most valuable improvement ia
the construction of the Harrow, invented by Y. M.
CnAFEE, of GRANVILLE, Illinois. In this new nipple
ment the teeth inserted in two self revolving
horizontal wheels, by which the furrow of the
teeth made to the line of the direction of
the harrow aud the teeth go round the circuit
of the wheel every time the harrow moves forward
the length of the diameter of the wheel each tooth
has just three times the effect of tooth in straight
harrow, consequently it does its work far better
and more of it, Once passing the ground with
this harrow leaves it better narrowed than by two
passages with the ordinary harrow. 1t is much
lighter draft upon the team, aud what must be a
great consideration with every practical farmer in
passing over corn or stubbe ground, il keeps itself
entirely free OF stalks by its action il scatters
them each side of it.
The Inventor proposes to sell the right to manu-
acture these HarrOws, for any given Territory,
either Counties States at moderate prices. He
will also sell single Harrows, and the receipt of
Sl5 he will ship good six feet Harrow to any part
of the country, the purchaser paying freight. Adj

SIR Your note of this date has just been placed in

duyto do justice 20 the reputation to your At the
saue time maintain my right, in the discharge Of
Isy duty senator, to comment freely and fully
the character of executive I1iHtmenS, especially
in my own State | deny, however, that my gem
eral remarks in relation the list of Illinois app
pointees, confirmed by the Senate during my alb
senCe could be fairly interpreted to embrace your
son When you seemed to CONSUME them, l
promptly replied that what had said Of the Illinois
appointments was true general rule, but Ihst
there exceptions, among whom | recognized
some of my own friends Alludjng particularly ID
your son. added that had nothing say in regard
to the merits Of his appointment, choosing TO leave
that question where placed it by my remarks 10
the Senate during the last session, your presence
at the time Of his confirmation. You now admit
that you understood this explanation to exempt
your son from the application of my general rs-
marks; and yet, you have failed to withdraw the
tfensive language, but, the contrary a subse~
quent stage of the debate, when apologizing for a
breach of senatorial decorum, you expressly declar-
cd that you had nothing to retraGt-thUs appearing
in my apprehension, to reafirm the Objectionable
words.
As to the other ground of offence admitted in your
reply to my note, | have TO say that did not ur-
dersland you to assume to correct me in a quotation
of your language as | was Unconscious OF making
any such citation but to repeat the original offence
in another form; otherwise, l would have made a
proper response on the instant.
This explanation, which is due alike to US both
on the points presented in your reply, affords You
another opportunity of Withdrawing the offensiV
words which you admit you applied to me il yes

SIR: Your note of yesterday was handed NE this
morning. In reply, l have 20 say that you yester-
day made charge that the lately app in ed fed
eral officers of Illinois corrupt, dishonest
or words to that effect. You knew my son to be
enc of those officers, aud you could expect me
TO hear such charge without prompt denial Of its
truth, l pronounced it to be, to your knowledge,
untrue. You subsequently, modified it as 10 satS
isfy ne that you excepted my son from the general
charge, although you did not name him, and made
no further Issue with you that subject. When,
at the subsequent period of your remarks, you at
tributed 10 me statements which l had Hot made,
requested that in quoting me you would do go
tTuthfully. These remarks we're certainly not - de-
liberately premeditated" but they cannot be quail
fled correctly "a the impulse of mcmentary pas
sion " The first was prompted by determination
to defend the honor and character Of my son, IS
dear to as my own, against attack so general
in its terms necessarily 10 include him; and the
second was the exercise of my right TO reclify a
Misrepresentation of my own remarks.

SIR: Your note Of last evening was handed me at
II H., to>day Your explanation in regard to my son
being nor explicit, have no hesitation in saying
that if you had excepted him from your charge or
not made it general would not have deemed myself
warranted in repelling it IN the wOrds of which you
complain as offensive, and which, in CONSCIENCE of
yOur explanation | now withdraw.
| am also informed by your note that, if you had
not been mistaken in relation to my remarks on he
subject of your misrepresentation of my sentiments
you would at the instant have made proper response
This likewise enables me to say that, in my closing
remarks explanatory TO the Senate of my share in
exoiteing debate upon subject not relevant to any
thing before that body and the responsibility tor
the introduction of which rested solely with you,
should have withdrawn, as | now do, the second of,
fensive remarks, il you had made the same satiyae
