Something about sowing machines.

We publish very interesting article, enti-
tied "The Story of the Sewing Machine 1t
shows the progress of the invention, the dis
appointments of tho inventors from year to
year, until finally success crowned their
efforts, and now they arc reaping a rich re-
ward. Nearly or quite 100000 machines have
already boen sold, and still the demand and
sale continues to increase. Messrs. Wheeler
& Wilson are employing twice the number Of
workmen they did one year ago, and the sales
of their popular machines are very large and
constantly increasing. Their family ma
chimes give universal satisfaction, as they are
we'll manufactured, simple in construction,
seldom break or get out of order, and do their
work neatly and well, either fine or coarse
sewing.
Mr.. JNO L. STRONG, 2O5 MelOdeOn Block,
Superior street, has for four years been the
agent for the sale of the Wheeler & Wilson
Sewing Machine in this city, and like the
machine he has established an excellent repu-
tatiOn among all customers. The sales in this
city and Northern Ohio have been large, and
are constantly increasing as the merits oI
the real labor-saver to woman are tested and
diffused among intelligent families.

Signor MOrtara has sent memorial to the
Board of Deputies Of British jews, setting
forth that as the suferings of the Jews in the
Roman States arise from the same misgOYern-
ment from which so many other grievances
flowed, it might be presumed that the ap-
preaching Congress, convened for the express
purpose of settling the affairs of Italy, would
not feel indispOsed to give him redress for the
wrong inflicted on him. The Board resolved
unanimously to accede to the wishes Of Sig
nor MOrtara, to draw up a memorial, and So
licit Lord John Russell to get it presented to
the Congress.
When the little MOrtara was kidnapped,
MOdena was under the absolute control of the
Duke, backed by Austrian bayonets. Now
the tables are turned, asappears by the fol-
lowing despatch from MOdena to the London
Times:
ain consequence Of demand made by the
family Moriara, who gave proofs to the Gov
eminent that the Kidnapping Of their child
had been ordered by the Rev. Father and In
quisitor Filetti, the latter has been arrested
Judicial proceedings have been instituted
against him upon the charge Of kidnapping
child"

j. Brown Jr.-s-InteroEtlng Correspondence
U. S. Marshal JOHNSON having introduced to
the public the subject Of his correspondence
with JOHN BRowN, Jr, through the National
Democrat, We feel at liberty to present Il in full
Before doing so, we ask the reading of the fol-
lowing brief report of a speech made by JOHN
BRowN Jr. at a meeting held in Austinburg,
Ohio, in which he alluded to the treatment and
cruelties he endured in Kansas. He is thus re-
ported
In speaking of his own arrest and imprison-
ment, be said they were betrayed by the United
States troops, who acted as posse for the DO
gus authorities Of the Territory. When arrested
by them, his arms were bound behind him with
a rope about fifteen feet long, and with one end
in the hands Of a United States officer, he was
driven before the troops on a steady trot for
nine miles without being allowed TO rest The
rope was kept on for nearly thirty hours, and
was bound so tightly that his arms swelled to
about twice their usual size, aud when removed
il took off strip Of skin with it, leaving Gear
which he significantly terms "Slavery's Brace.
lett" That rope he exchanged for a chain, which
was fastened TO his right ankle, and also 10 the
lefl Of fellow prisoner. In this manner they,
with several other prisoners, were forced 90
march Thirty miles in one day That chain he
wore for four months. he said be never could
sympathize with the poor slave, driven South
in the coifle gang, until after that days march
He now felt that he understood the meaning Of
the Divine injunction, "Remember them that
are in bonds, as bound with them" He not
only bears on his body the marks of his suffer
ings in behalf Of the oppressed, but he carries
also that identical chain as a token and pledge
ofiuture conflicts and sacrifices.
Such was the rugged prO-slaveTy school in
which JOHN Brown Jr. was educatedin Kansas.
That he is a true ''chip of the old block" is
demonstrated beyond a peradventure in the
correspondence below. That he should be wary
of the plausible ensnarements of United States
officials, and reject the tender mercies of slave
authorities and mObs, is no marvel-that be
should spurn immunity procured by an act Of
treachery, is worthy of Man in his best and no
blest estate. In brief, the spirit and words Of
the letter of JOHN Brown Jr., show that the
mantle of the martyred Father has fallen on no
recreant Son!

LETTER OF JOHNSON TO BROWN.
Jrrrrrsor. I.n,n 24th. lst

JEFFERSON, Jan'y Gath, 1860.
JOHN BRowN JR., Eso.-Sir: left at your
house to-day a summons from the Select Com
mittee of the Senate to appear before said Com
mittee on the 3Olh inst. regret exceedingly
that was unable to see you, for 1 think could
have satisfied you that it would be to your in-
terest to appear before the Committee. The
only objection suppose you can have to do so,
is the fear that the authorities of Virginia might
take advantage of your presence in that region
Gad arrest you and take you to that State.
OF this, I take it upon myself to say you need
have no fear In the letter from Senator Mason
enclosing me the papers, he makes use of this
language, viz: "If you can get an interview, or
other means Of communication with him (JUhn
Brown he may be induced to come under the
assurance you can give, that by late law Of
Congress, no person who has been examined ss
witness before COMMITTEES of either House
of Congress can afterwards be held TO answer
upon a criminal charge for any fact or act done
or committed by him to which bis testimony
may refer. Thus, should the witness have done
anything in eonne1ion with the Harper's Ferry

by testifying before the Committee, he will be
thencefoIth exempt from prosecution"
These are the words of Senator Mason, and
to that add pledge of my sacred honor, that
ifyou will appear in Cleveland on Friday morn
ing next, and accompany me to Washington,
that neither on the way, nor in that city shall
you be molested, but after giving your testimO-
ny, will see you safely returned to your home.
propose that on Thursday next you come to
Cleveland and see Judge Spalding, Judge Til
den, and otheI friends and consult with them as
to the proprety of going as propose, andii you
make up your mind to go, that wa leave that
city on the following day. will also state that
have no warrant for your arrest, nor has there
ever been any issued from any source. The as
sertion to the contrary by the "Cleveland Plain
Dealer" of last week being an unmitigated
falsehood. W
1 leave this letter with your friend Smith Ed
waIds, Esq, with whom have fully conVeTsed
on that matter. Yours,

Gibson ,o Have n New Trial.

The Statesman of Jan. 81st, has the follow
ing notice of the case of Ex-state Treasurer
Gibson, found guilty on the charge of smbez-
element:
The argument upon the motion to set aside
the verdict in the case of the State vs.. VIM.
H. Gibson, was concluded before Judges Nor
ris and Dickey last evening, and the verdict
was set aside and new trial granted in the
case. The principal reasons for this action
were lthe separation of the jury and their
mingling among the people before the rendi-
ton Of their verdictiand the reading of news
paper articles commenting upon the progress
Of the trial, in the jury room by the jurors,
which together were held to be sufficient to
constitute an irregularity and invalidate
the verdict. The Court adjourned until
9 o'clock tomorrow, when the time for
the new trial will probably be designated.
