French and Epglish expresses
A new plot had been disc lvered, tho OBJ
ject Of which was the restoration Of Santa

Miramon, whose position at the capital
was day by day becoming more and more
compromised, is said to be at the head oi
the movement
The expedition against Tampico, arrested
the other side Of San Luis Potosi by the de.
feat Of Mejia, had been reorganized, and
at last accounts was already on the march
thither, 1t is commanded by General
Vol, and numbers about one thousand
men.
The British express, from the capital the
18th, says that condueta of several millions
of specie was to leave the city on the 24th,
for Vera Cruz, under a strong guard
The British residents in the capital had
addressed paper to Mr. Otway the British
Minister, in which they make strong repre-
sentations to him in reference to his conduct
toward their countrymen during the massa-
ere at Tacubaya.

Every Democrat in both Legislatures,

TO COTTON PLANTERS

HAVE bought the patent of Messrs. W. F. &
e. J. Provost's Iron Screw and Le-
yer Press, for the Parishes of East and West
FeIiciana and Pointe Coupec. This press is now
ahead of all others in use, for durability econo-
my strength, &C.; and it is the same that took the
premium at the Mississippi State Fair, in 1858.
The sale Of the patent Of this celebrated Press
for the different counties in the Southern States
has been unprecedented and it is generally pre-
dlcted that in few years, they will superccde
all other cotton Presses known
A word as to the cost of these presses: It has
been proven beyond the least possibility of a
doubt that there has never been Press invented
that can begin to compare with this one for cheap
ness. Therefore, if there is any thing in economy
they must certainly find great favor with the cot
ton planting portion Of our community They
seldom get out of repair, are easily fixed, and
taking all things into consideration, no Press
has ever been thought Of by any mechanic, that
is destined to prove OF so great benefit to the
cotton planter, as "Proyost's Iron Screw and Le-
yer Press"
In the language of the Mesars Provost, eve
claim for this Press many advantages over all
the Presses in use. The Press s we'll adapted to
any style Of Gin House, as it can be worked in
or out Of the lint room taking up but little space
requires but little timber and must be durable,
as all of its working parts are Of iron, of great
power, as it combines both the lever and the
screw, and so simple that the negroes can work
it with dispatch We can press any weight of
bales required with ease"
As it is more easy to convince persons of the
superiority of this press by showing it in full
operation, this ia to let planters know that have
one in Bayou Sara, and will take pleasure in
showing it to any who may desire to purchase.
will also contract to put up these Presses on
any plantation in the parishes of Pointe Coupee
and East and West Feliciana. Orders particu-
larly desired, as wish to show planters the
greatsuperiority of Provost's Press overall others
in existence. iell. II. TENNEY.

IRON HOOPS AND TIES
......- For Cotton Bales.
Prize, 6 cents per pound-25 per cent less
z-s than Rope.

zzs than Rope az...
ANY one considering the advantages of Iron
over Rope as material for binding cotton bales,
will be surprised that it has not been adopted
long since. In its security against fire there is
an overwhelming reason for its adoption.
The presses in the Seaport Cities have been
the main cause of its not being generally adopt
ed; but, now that objection is removed gener-
ally, and the Orleans Press, the largest in n o.,
give it the preference over rope. The Fassmann
Iron Hoop and Tie is the improvement of one
of the proprietors and is adopted from the fact
that it is found, after long experiment, to COM
bine the egreatest merits in simplicity and facility
Of application of any one yet made. 1t is 80
prepared as to require no change for recon-
pressing. Thus obviating the only remaining
difficulty at the sea board cities. % "a =
The hoops are sent Of any length from eight
to ten feet and full guarantee given that
neither the Ties nor Hoops shall break And
further, that all cotton bound in them shall be
received on the same terms at the Orleans Press
as rope bound cotton. The weight per bale is
about the same as rope, not one pound more or
less =5Esz @E @
TO show the opinion Ship Masters have of it,
we give the following, among numerous COM
mendations we have:
The undersigned masters Of vessels having

Hoops and Ties, hereby recommend the same
