The BOUDOIR SEWING MACHINE, an en-
craving of which is here represented, has now
become recognized fayorits wherever it
has been introduced, and is, heyohd question,
the best, as well rs the handsomest, low-priced
Sewing Machine now before the public.
No. l A small and very neat Machine for
Family use.
No. "A largo Machine for quilting heavy
work and for Plantation use.
I This Machine is much admired for its simplici-
ty, and for its reliability and durability it is un-
surpassed. A child twelve years can run it with
ease and yet it will sew from the eoarsest cloth
to the finest Swiss. There ia no trouble Of re-
winding the thread. as it is taken from the spools
II has no bolts to give trouble, and will run
backwards as well as forwards. ard still sews
equally perfect, and without danger of breaking
needles 1t runs hy friction, and by closing the
box over it, it is thrown out of gear. In fact,
we have no hesitation in recommending it ms the
best family Sewing Machine in use.

THE ATTACK ON THE STRANGE SCHOONER AT
CHARLEsToN.-The Charleston Courier Of the ith
instant saws:
Yesterday afternoon about three O'Clock, while
the wind was blowing heavy from the northeast,
a schooner crossed the bar and was beating up the
channel abreast Of the beach Of Morris Island,
when she having attracted the attention Of some
Of the sent nes, one Of the batteries fred several
blank cartridges at her for the purpose OF bring
ing her to, which the captain Of the vessel paid
no attention to, but kept on his course, when
shotted gun was discharged, the ball from which
II Ia supposed struck her in the bulwarks, when
she put about and proceeded down near the bar
and anchored.
During the firing It is said that the schooner
displayed the Omitted States ensign but as her
character and not her nationality was In question,
she should Immediately have come to and held
intercourse with the commander on the Island
instead Of acting In manner that produced the
impression that she intended to force passage
Soon after the firing took place, boat from Fort
derson to make enquiry into the cause Of the YES
mission for his boat to proceed TO the schooner;
and II Is reported that the boat did 90 to the aus
picious vessel, but Of this we have certain in
formation.
About six O'Clock last evening the steamer
General Clinch, with Lieut. T b. Buger, was
sent FROM the city to look after the schooner and
investigate her character, but after proceeding
some distance down the channel they were un-
able to discover anything Of her. and suppose tina,
she had gone to sea.
As the wind was blowing very strong from the
| northeast, she will, no doubt, take a southerly
course. .-
