"A Wonderful nIaohine.


FRIEND CoyER We have but little in
our quiet village to create any very great
excitement, and hence, our neighbor's IL
fairs interest US. About the 18th ut., our
neighbor Mr.. Charles Finn, having been
absent, returned, bringing with hun a
somethteg rolling on two wheels, the
Wheels about two feet IN diameter III EIGHT
inches il breadth, runner preceding each
heel aud drawn by span Of horses.
We had heard . Charley" llabout Il won
aerfal "cofn planter IN which he was in
terested, and We concluded this must he II.
The next day we went 10 see it work and
examined it. 1t is yer, simple III its con
struction and easily worked. ltmarks one
way and drops and covers two rows as fast
as the team may trase 81, planting from 10
to 20 acres per day. Tie drop works SO
simple that / cannot see how it can fail to
deposit in each hill from 3 to 4 kernels.
1t covers by means Of the propeling
wheels rolling behind the drop the run.
ner opening before the drop fresh mark
in which the corn is deposited, thus doing
work better, quicker and easier than it can
be done BY hand. Mr.. Finn has planted
for Cod iogtou, Bradley, Elijah Patch, D.
Beard and others, and as far as | have
heard they vote it a complete success, and
say the pora stands moro even and comes
up better than by the old way. and if they
can secure the services of " Browns corn
planter" they shall never resort TO hand
planting. | understand Mr.. G. Finn has
the right Of the State and if the farmers
desire TO know more about this planter
they can write to Charley and find out.

pledges the most solemn were made to pay
the expenses Of volunteers and support the
families Of soldiers. Disgraced BE that
man who backs down az inch from the
solemn pledges made at that meeting.
We hear it said that bills are presented
most unexpectedly for services rendered at
Or about that time, it being understood
that such services were contributed as q
fst Offering for bruised country. There
are bills that should be paid in whole or
part because they involved outlay Of
means as well as Of time and travel; but
We hope that time and travel Of persons
md teams will be contributed without
thoughts about remuneration.

MEXICO CRY, May 5, 1861.
), 1t hns been long job to get the members Of
Congress to come forward. Most Of them ap.
pear to hare believed TINT the Congress WIS
only trick to get a lot Of liberals together to
oe caught, like 60 many nibb1ing mice, in
trap. After some eighteen days hard work,
Congress les organized, aud are now prepared
to plunge into the great questions OF the day.
IAe en6rt, can assure you beforehand. viii
be melancholy failure, SO far as any Of the
vital questions Of the day are concerned.
There is no man Of capacity in the Congress,
except, perhaps, the members Of the Cabinet
who have resigned TO take their seats il Con
gress. Beth Senior zarco and Senior Ma.a were
considered clever men before they went into
TIE Cabinet. sencr Zasco has found himself
avery weak person 1or administration. and
Scnor Mata has found himself perfectly iacom-
potent. He went into the Cabinet under the
most favorable auspices, and he now leaves,
having done nothing but advise the robbery Of
10000 Of the funds in deposit for the French
conycntlon- Really one loses ali hope Of Mex
leo at seeing such utter incompetency where
We. had been induced to believe there was
some talent
Mexico cannot be IN Indifferent spectator of
passing events in the United States, for with
the dismember1nent and loss Of strength Of
the United States, this country, like 81. Do.
mingo, becomes the within Of Spain. This
startling fact now stares in the face and stag
gers those Mexican politicians, who, at inst
sight, believed the American difficulty would
result to the advantage Of their country. We
here feel d deep and powerful interest in every
sign from your country, and now the hope Is
entertained by every liberal Of Mexico that the
work Of destruction will be stayed, and the
great and glorious American Union be pre-
served to perform its true destiny in the New
World.
Mr, CorHin and suite, Sir Charles Lcnnox
W3ke and attendants, and the new Belgian
Minister aad attendants, ali came PASSENGERS
by the English packet Clyde, but owing to the
quarantine laws ut Vera Cruz were forced to
proceed with tG6t steamer to Ta,npico. They
will all, doubtless, reach here in the next ten
diys.
We IRE hero pretty much the same as on the
departure Of the last mail. The national Con-
grcss is preparing tor its sessions. Great
vent ile reunion Of this body, and Tor a time
it was feared that their efforts would be
crowned With SUCCESS; but now contidcnce

hui I am GLAD to say the yphus Fever, watch
