TO THE PUBLIC.

ENIIE administrator of Francis n Smith,
= having given notice that was infringing
said Smiths patent in the manufacture of
Robb'S Corn Sheller-a proceeding calculated
to iniure ne in nay buSiness-I submit the
following facts TO those who are using or
desirous of purchasing them. On the lst
June, lS43, patent was granted to said Smith,
and extended from June |, 1857, for seven
years, in which he makes the suhjoined claim:
g. What claim as my invention and desire
to secnre by Letters Patent is the arrangement
of the inclined concave. and toothed cylinder,
as described, and in combination Herewith
the angular piece (a) the whole being con.
struGted and operating as above described"
FRANCIS n. SMITH.
On the 25th December, 1855, patent was
issued to jones Robb, to the description Of
which is annexed the following claim:
Having fully described my improvements
IN corn shelters and cleaners, what | claim as
my invention and desire to secure by letters
patent is, the hood or casing G, in combina,
! tion with the concave T, fender board or cob
arrester II, and cylinder B, for the purpose of
directing a blast and separating or cleaning
the corn and cob substantially in the manner
described. In testimony whereof ! have
hereunto signed my name before two snJscrib
ing NltneSSesl
J4gRs RoBB.
Under this patent have been mqnufactu-
ring one of the best machines in use, and it
will readily be perceived that there is no
similarity whatever in the claims each made,
end must have been SO regarded by the patent
Office, or no patent would have issued. Parties
interested can see full description of both
machines, as certified by the patent off ice, by
calling on me, pcrusal Of which think will
satisfy any cEe that | am pot infringing
Smiths ner any other patent.
IF Mr.. Smiths administrator, instead of
endeavoling to scare away my customers, were
to institute suit agasnst ne, it would be more
to the purpose or let him come forward and
satisfy me that am infringing, and pledge
my word J vii! cease manufacturing it, as |

In the meantime invite farmers and others

MILITARY.-Dr. Stoneroad commenced
last week to recruit a company of Cavalry
for the regular service, and thus far has
met with good success, considering the
number of men little Miffiin has already
furnished There are yet no doubt enough
young men in our county to make up the
second Cavalry company, who do not wish
to go in Infantry service.

THE CHARLESTON NEWS.

The dispatches we publish this morn
ing describe the closing scenes of the very
remarkable battle that has just taken place in
Charleston harbor, and state the result. Fort
Sumter has been surrendered TO the besiegers,
and Major Anderson and his men have left
Charleston for New York, in the steamer
Isabel All we know OF this catastrophe comes
by telegraph from Charleston, and we have
such an account of it as the secession leaders
have allowed to be sent, When we get
more complete and authentic statement OF
what has taken place, it may appear that
much has been Withheld, which, if told, would
make some things plain that now seem quite
incomprehensible. For instance, it seems
incredible that the batteries of Fort SUM
ter could be worked regularly, for nearly
two DAYS, by select detachment of the en-
gineer corps without doing more damage than
is reported but it would be unreasonable
to make up judgment in the case before
hearing Major Anderson's story OF the battle.
The rumor Of what had taken place at
Charleston caused general and intense ex-
y
members similar excitement in Worcester
In the evening, we found it necessary to print
the dispatches in extras which disappeared in
the crowd, as fast as they could be printed,
for several hours. The news was discussed
very earnestly, and men of all parties were
emphatic in declaring that the authority
of the federal government must be sus-
tanned. 1t would have been difficult for
stranger to tell which Of the vehement union
men in the crowd were republicans and which
democrats. 1t was enough, however, that
they all showed an immovable purpose TO
STAND BY THE COUNTRY, and defend it to the
last against traitors and all other enemies.
That tenderness and forbearance towards the
disunion conspirators, which allowed ,hem to
beleaguer Fort Sumter and Fort Pickens with
batteries was mistaken and disastrous kind.
ness. 1t is not likely to be repeated If the
guns of those forts had been used to prevent
the erection of such batteries, it would have
been impossible to make such an assault on
Fort Sumter. If Fort Pickens is to be
maintained, it seems 10 US that the bat
teries, arrayed against it must be destroy
ed, and the other forts near it, with the
navy yard, retaken. 1t is stated that among
the secession troops now occupying those
places, there is not single company from
Florida. They will undoubtedly undertake to
reduce fort Pickens, but it is not by position
so completely in their power as fort Sumter
was in the power OF Its assaiants, and the re,
ception they will get will not be likely to
please them. The traitors defy the govern
ment of the country and coyet trial of
strength with it. Let them feel its power and
be satisfied.

TRAITOR BURNED IN EFFIGY.-The
usual quiet town of South Reading was iii Il
high state of excitement, OH Friday, day
and evening. The circumstances causing
the excitement are substantially MS follows =
Some months since, while Kemp's Old Folks
Concert Troupe were on southern tour, one
Of their number named Chas. S. Mallett, of
South Reading, was induced to remain in
Georgia, and teach singing. When the seces-
sion fever was at its height there, he joined u
company known as the Ogethorpe Guards,
and being little boastful this fact was com.
municated TO his friends, with remarks not
very satisfactory to them.
The South Reading Gazette noticed his
treachery and we believe the article was
copied into other papers. In reply to this, he
wrote TO his old friends that if they came down
south i'll hostile spirit they would find bloody
graves. Thursday night Mallett returned
from the south, and his acquaintance at South
Reading were anything but glad to see him.
One report says that his wite's father refused
to allow him to sleep in his house that night.
On Friday morning an etiigy was found Sus-
pended on tree in front Of the post office,
bearing the words Traitor Alallett." lie
had by this time becom satisfied that lie had
better leave town, and his baggage was sent
to the depot and forwarded by the first train
10 this city, but there was larger crowd at
the depot than he desired to meet, and he did
not accompany it.
He, however, came to the city by the ten
O'Clock train, having got upon it from the side
opposite the depot, without being seen. 1t is
said that tar and feathers had been provided
for his benefit, but of this there is some doubt.
The efhgy was cut down about 8 o'clock III
the forenoon, and kept secreted till night,
when it was brought out and escorted about
town by a crowd of boys and young men,
after which it was suspended upon a liberty
pole and burned.

DEPARTURE OF MAJOR ANDERSON
AND HIS MEN.

CHARLESTON, April 1.-THE negotiations
were completed last night. Major Anderson
with his command will evacuate this morning
and embark on board the war vessels off the
bar. When Fort Sumter was in flames, and
Anderson could only fire guns at long inter-
walls, the men at our batteries cheered every
fire which the gallant major made in his last
struggles, but looked defiance at the vessels
of war, whose men stood without firing gun
or attempting to divert the fire from single
battery. Five of Andersons men were slight
ly wounded The steamer Isabel will take
Gen. Beauregard to Fort Sumter which will
be turned over by Major Anderson to the
confederate states. 1t is reported that Major
Anderson and command will proceed to New
York in the Isabel.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMs.-Many distin-
guished and influential citizens of Boston and
vicinity comprising members of all parties
and men of all shades of political opinion,
recently rendered to the Hon. Charles Francis
Adams an invitation TO public dinner in the
city Of Boston, previous to his departure for
Europe. The request was signed by Edward
Everett, Josiah Quincy, John G. Pafrey, VIM.
Appleton, Benz. 4. Thomas, Alexander H.
Rice, Emory Washburn, Charles G. Greene,
F. B. Crowninshield, and many others Mr.
Adams declines the invitation, for the reason
that his time and attention are so much alb
sorbed in preparations necessary to accelerate
his departure. He takes occasion, in his
letter of reply, TO say "The doctrine of Sc
cession is not merely revolutionary, it is dis
indignation. Ours should be union and CO.
hesion. trust that your joint expression Of
good will to me, for what have shown a wish
TO promote, may be the torerunner of higher
and nobler tendency to labor in unison to
preserve the United States through the hour
of their peril. In such efforts promise Won
