The advantages of this mode of Dress may be brief

I'd. After putting the burrows in proper order. the
Burrs can be kept in order by the labor of from one TO
two hours every ten days or two weeks. person
can crack a pair of Burrs in hour. Burrs have
beep run satisfactorily, with Dress ten days,
NIGHT and day, without taking them up and have
ne7.formed nearly double much work with the same
power, and in the same Tune 30 .s..
3a 1t is much easier to keep the Burrs IN face on
onr svste,n We dispense with the nse of the pick
entirely. except in dressing the burrows, and high
CLASSY spots on the face, which have to be taken OFT
with a very sharp pick.
4th We get a large yield of Flour equal to not
less than fifteen to twenty cents per barrel than is
nossibl. with the old dress, and OF better quality.
The saving in labor tune of the MIL, cost OF picks,
and quantity and quality of Flour in the aggregate
must be very large Item, sufficient In iseit 10 con-

Messrs Editors Permit us through the col
umns of your paper to introduce to the voters
of>Augusta, VIM. L. Mowry, one of the candi-
dates for Commissioner of the Revenue in the
lst District. AS Mr.. Mowry is comparatively
stranger to a large majority of the people, we
deem it but an act of justice to him to state
that we know of no young man who enjoys more
extensively, and deservedlys the esteem and
confidence of those amongst whom he has been
raised. His uprightness and integrity of char
acter-his honesty Of purpose aud mental CO
paeity-w arrant Us to believe that it lectad, the
duties of the office will be faithfully adtniDiser
Mr.. Mowry was a fe" years ago tile uutnr-
tunate victim OF painful and terrible accident,
which resulted in the ampufation of one Of his
legs; in consequence OF which, he has been pre-
vented in engaging in pursuits more coagena to
his feelings than the one to which he now as
pires. Being desiroas Of doing something tor
himself, and at the same time, of serving his
fellow-citizens, he is before them candidate
for their sutfrages; and we bespeak for him their
kind remembrance at the polls on the 18th Thurs
day in May. FRIENDS AND NElGHRoRs.

THE LENNON SLAVE OAsE-Several years
ago, Mr.. Lennon, of Virginia, went to New
York with her family, to take passage for Texas,
where she proposed to settle. Her slaves were
liberated in New York city, on the ground that
the local laws prohibited slavery. This gave
rise to suit at law, which has recently been
decided by che New York Court of Appeals
The opinion of the Court delivered by Judge
DEMO, holds that when Mrs. lennon carried
her slaves to New York she did not garry there
The laws of Virginia. Her claim to hold them
rested on the ground that, as citizen of the
United States. she was entitled, under the Con
stitntion, to all the privileges that she had in
Virginia. Judge D. denies this, and ahirms that
the privileges and immunties" to which Vir-
ginan is emitted in New York are not those OF
citizen of Virginia, but those of citizen OF
New York. And the right to hold slaves, he
says, is not one of the privileges and inmunities
of citizens of New York. Three of the Judges
seden and CLARK dissent from the
judgement pronounced in this case; and five
