u ING HARROW. Patented May 25th 1858.
The attention of manufacturers of agricultural
implements, and the raisers of small gran is invit
ed to recent and most valuable improvement in
the construction of the Harrow, invented by V. NJ.
CHAFEE, of GRANVILLE, Illinois In this nipple
ment the teeth are inserted in two self revolving
horizontal wheels, by which the furrow of the
teeth made to the line of the direction of
the harrow, and the teeth 60 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 astraight
harrow, consequently it does its work far better,
and more of it. Once passing over 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, and what must be a
great consideration with every practical farmer,
passing corn stubble ground, il keeps itself
entirely free of stalks, by it's action it scaters
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 lie
will also sell single Harrows, and the receipt of
SIS he will ship good six feet Harrow to any part
of the country, the purchaser paying freight Ad-

DIR. GRAVES FAMILY MEDICINES.
Wed not desire to interfere with the professional
ethics of medical schools, do possess any
skill in pharmaeeutics, but DIR. Graves has opened
to our inspection of letters from his agents
and most respectable druggists in all parts of the
country, which commend his family medicines IN
the highest terms They meet with very extended
sale, which of itself is excellent recommendation.
We always teel reluctant to make any endorse
ment of medicines, but there SO many localities
where no regular practitioners within reach,
and so many diseases which require prompt
dies, that supply of the prescriptions prepared BY
Or. Graves, commended they for efficiency,
would prove almost invaluable In all cases of
sickness first advice is to call the aid of ply
stefan, but, If that is impractcabe, il seems
that Dr. Graves offers remedial agents in ague,
cholera mOrbus, &C.. which may be safely used,
he gives assurance that deleteriOus compounds
are used in their preparation.-LosisriHeJ Journal.
DR.. Graves anti-Fever and Ague, anti-Bilious,
Purifying, and Cathartic Pills invaluable to
those afflicted with any of these complaints. His
American Liniment is gaining a high reputation
for healing all kinds of ailments, both CT and
beast; aid parents should remember that his 'Goden

c,nncin decentralization.

During his recent stay in Staunton, Mr.. Cog
gin was entertained at the house OF orr towns
man, John D. Inboden, ESQ. While seated quiz
city Saturday night conversing with q few
friends he was surprised by serenade and found
it impossible to resist the calls made upon hin
by large crowd of our citizens in front Of Mr.
Imboden's residence. Though much ayerse tc
saying anything, he finally yielded to the solicit
tatons of his friends, and briefly addressed the
people, thanking them for the compliment anc
expressing his firm beliefin the triumph of his
and their cause on the 26th of May.
In response to calls made upon him, Mr.. I'm
boden also made q few appropriate remarks, af'
tor which many Of our fellow citizens paid thei!
respects to Mr.. Goggin, who has 9 pleasant
smile, cheering word and hearty shake Of
the hand for all
We understand that the band also called upon
Mr.. Letcher, who made his appearance and
thanked them, but owing to his physical oondi'
ton declined making speech.

Extrayagauce at washington.

AT the last session of Congress, the OlerK Oh
the House Of Representatives was directed Dy
resolution, to make report OF the expenditures
of the House. lie did so in letter OF 2lz pa
ges. 1t appears from the report that the sum
Of S460, 900 was expended in fitting up one wing
OF the Capitol. Among the articles purchased
for the Speakers room was large French plaIe
mirror at 1880, six chairs at $95 each, nsnr
brush $3.50, two combs $3.50, clothes brush
81 go. and nail brush Sl.25. The f0sSes eA-
penses OF the House amounted to $'oo'oo' sS
follows: 278 buffalo and other COMBS ~ w
$50 ENGLISH and other brushes S9S8.S7, 48o bars
of toilet soap and soap dishes $2O4.49. But not
content with combing, brushing and washing at
the public expense, the peoples money was Ia
ken to buy snuff for the use of members Ihe
Clerk reports among his purchases, II bottles o.
Maccoboy, bottles of Martinique and Is lbs o.
American Gentlemen Snuff In addition to these
extraordinary items, the livery bill.of the Houses
for carriages and horses, amounted to S',zl'
All this extravaganza occurred in one year, end
ing November Both, 1858. Notwithstanding the
members of Congress receive salaries OF so'oVo
each, per annum, they must have an extra al
lowance for carriages and horses, combs, Orusll-
es and snuff, and the public must even proYioe
the Speaker with the means OF cleaning MS
finger nails. Whether any law OF Congress
authorizes such expenditures does not appear

The Movement in tennessee.

The Opposition Convention of Tennessee
which net at Nashville abou, two weeks ego
was one of the largest and most enthusiastic o.
the kind ever held in that State. Prominent
among the members were John Bell, Neil 5
Brown, Jorre Clemens, II. 5, Foote, zo'licottaI
and others ofnational reputation. NessFs Glenn.
ems and Foote were formerly Democratic Uni
ted States Senators, ithe one from Mississippi
and the other from Alabama. Both now reside
in Memphis, Tennessee, and are doing their ut
most to break down the party in power. ku-
NOR says also that Ex-senator Jones, lately an
"Old Line Wing" aud 'new light Democrat,
hes come back to the ranks Of the Opposition
1t is probably to him that Brownlow Glludes

'sThough Whig in sentiment, in oil times

among those who have been prejudiced against
'Qld Line Wings as they are called; and from q
,pisapprehension of their notifies in going into

we have done them injustice. We had q free
and full conversation with one ofthem last week
nc Nashville, emu with our understanding OF
their object in acting with the Democracy, we

Yours truly,
The Tone Of the Canvass.

The Richmond Index, Jealous Democratic
paper, has the following in which we heartily
concur:
"We are pleased to be able to announce that
the canvass between the Gubernatorial candi-
dates is conducted with the utmost courtesy and
good feeling. a gentleman from one of the
Southwestern counties writes that they cut and
thrust very good humoredly, and seem to en-
joy each others company in private. This is
two gentlemen, and we shall expect to hear
of their exchanging scrap books at their last
meeting before the fourth Thursday in May
The relations between Messrs. Letcher and Cog.
gin ought to suggest to their friends everywhere
the proprety ofkeeping cool during the canvass.
Why should the friends of the candidates fight
Or Quarre. with each other, when the vorY best
social relations exist between the candidates
themselycsl Tho thing is absurd and gilicu-
Ilous."

Election of Judge ,

Next Thursday is the day Of election for Judge
Of the Court Of Appeals We agein remind our
readers of the Importance OF attending to this
business. Let each one 60 to the polls himself
and use his influence to bring out his ne'ghbors.
If The people arc SO Indifferent as not to vote, it
will be o strong argument for changing the pres
ont mode of electipg Judges. 1t Is due TO Dol.
Baldwin, moreover, that his neighbora and
friends, those who have known him from boy
hood, should now give him helping hand
He did not thrust himself before the people, but
was called out by his fellow citizens; lot rs then
rally to his support. It is worth some effort to
secure The election to ons of the most important
Offices in the gift Of the people, Of one whom we
know and con6de in.
The Blue Ridge Republican, of CulpepeT Q.
T., advocates thu election Of Mr.. Robertson,
and while the editor has 'no personal acquaint-
ance with either of the candidate" and does
mot know either of them by sight," he appeals
to the people Of tho eastern counties generally to
give him unanimous vote. The people of the
Valley knoeo COL Baldwin-they know him to
De competent, honest and faithful-and we ap'
peal to them to come ont on Thursday, and, as

DoMIS1oA AND DENIARK.-The New York
Herald has letters from San Domingo to the 18th
nit, announcing hostilities between Dominica
and Denmark & Danish envoy recently ar
rived there in a war vessel, and perenptorily
demanded $4,000 indemnity for the seizure of
the Danish vessels by President Paez during the
recent revolution in Dominica. President Santa
Ana offered to refer the matter to arbitrators,
but the Danish functonary declined, giving the
Donlinicans twenty-four hours to comply with
his demands, with the understanding that re-
fusal would be followed by the blockade OF the
port. The Dominicans decided in favor of war,
and forthwith commenced manning the bate
ries. There was but one Danish war vessel il
port.
Letters received at Washington from San Do
mineo state that previous to the Danish action
against Santa Ana's Government the French
had demanded the concession of all the gold, sill
YER, copper and coal mines OF the Republic

the Hon. Vim. l.. Goggin beat himself to-day,
(Wednesdsy,) in discussion with his competitor,
Mr. Letcher. As we have given an account in
another place of their meeting in Monroe, on

the points they made here. Mr.. Goggin's effort
was received with unbounded applause. He
bore down on Cir. Letcher. and the extravaganza
of the Administration. lie charged Buchanan
with corruption outright. He spoke OF the Tn
ion in glowing and eloquent terms.
Mr.. Letcher made about the same speech here
that be did in Union. 1t was only varied in
this. that he read from the Lewisburg Chronicle
of ls47, an extract endorsing the Ruffher Pam
phlet; remarking that the editor of the Grsen5rl-
er Independent was, in 1847, editor Of the Osron-
icEe, While Mr.. Goggin was throwing hot-shot

dcation for the Office Of Judge, oil admit who
know him, that he would dignity and adorn the
