with tho two-fold view of benefting the public and
ourselves. The public have been
!SWINDLED BY SPURIOUS MACHINES
MADE IN INITIATION OF OURS.
The metal in them, from the iron casting to the
smallest piece, is of poor quality. Their makers
have not the means TO do their work well. They
hid away in secret places where it would be impos-
sible to have at their command the proper mecoan-
ica appliances IL is only by doing great business
and having extensive manufacturing establishments
that good machines can be made at moderate prices.
The best designed machines, BADLY MADE, are
always liable to get out Of order, and sure to
cost considerable trouble and money to keep them in
repair
The qualities to be looked for in machine are
certainty Of correct action at all rates of speed sim
pticity Of construction, great durability and rd-
pidity Of operation nth he least labor. Machines
to combine these essential qualities must be made of
the best metal and finished 10 perfection We have
the ways and means, on grand SCALE to do this
The purchasers of Machines whose daily bread II
may concern will find that those having the above
qualities not only work well Mt rapid rs well as sloc
rates Of speed, but last Tong in the finest possible
working order Our machines as made By ils, will
earn more money with less labor than any others,
whether in imitation Of ours or not. In fact they
are cheaper than any other machines as gift.

LET Them Cot is reported by our
dispatches that Denmark wants all the me-
groes we can spare, to put to labor in
that delightful region. We are obliged
to Denmark, and our answer is that she
can have them. In Massachusetts there
are many persons whom we cannot recon-
mend to Denmark as full-blooded negroes;
but yet the fact of their having lived there
a few years and having become brighten
ed up in color by the intermixture ofsa
little white blood, ought not to throw
them out of good place. Same in Penn
sylvania, same in New York, and little
more SO in Ohio Now Denmark, you
can have these fellows cheap; we don't
want them ; the Abolitionists don't want
them; although before they went into the
business they thought they did, We
don't expect to get our money back, not
by good deal. But as we've devised
way to fix that by taxing the West pretty
steep, we think well let you have them at
your own terms. Denmark, come and
take them right away and when you
next tell us ''there's something rotten" in
your borders, we shall know what you
mean.-Dubaque Herald.

FINE PROMISES FOR THE Poor
Since the day of the Declaration of Ame-
rican Independence until the present, no
such crops of food have ever been here put
into the bosom of bountiful mother earth.
It would probably be no exaggeration to
say, including in our estimate the free and
slave States, that should nothing disas-
trous in the way of unpropitious weather
be experienced, in many portions of the
country, but mainly West and South, ce-
real crops will scarcely be worth the gath
ering, unless, indeed some very unusual
demand comes from Europe, How far
this unusual condition of affairs is likely
to operate on the future, to what extent
it is likely to be followed up by the South
ern portions of the country, iS would be
rash to guess, but we shall not be sur
prised if in all future time permanent
loss of large demand for Western food
products should be experienced from the
Lower Mississippi Valley. This season
may be regarded as sort of experimental
one in the cultivation Of cereals in the
South and should the crops which now
promise to be SO luxuriant in this section,
be safely harvested, the result will doubt
less be regarded by many as more en-
couraging, particularly by small planters,
than the raising of cotton, Whether this
will lead to diminisheds supply of the
latter may be questioned; in our opinion,
often before as now advanced, it will not /;
but be this as itmay, to our mind nothing
is more certain than that, in the future,
the change We are referring to as occur
ring this season, will become permanent.

WAR NEWS.

An account OF q battle fought near charleston,
South Carolina, on Monday, 10th inst, is pub
lished in the Richmond papers of Saturday last.
The respective forces engaged consisted of FIVE
regiments Of Federal troops and a battery Of Par
rott guns aided by gunboats, which were OPP
posed to parts of four Confederate regiments and
battery. The engagement took place on James
Island, the fight lasting all day, and both sides
losing heavily. Other accounts received by way
ofthe West claim a complete Confederate victory,
stating that the Federals were repulsed three
times, with loss estimated at 400 killed, wound
ed and prisoners. The Confederate loss is re-
ported to be 40 killed and 100 wounded. is's
By the arrival of steamer at New York, it is
reported that the Confederate force at Mobile has
recently been strengthened by $4,000 men from
the army which evacuated Corinth. Fort Nor
gan is still in the hands of the Confederates. 3
The New York Journal of Commerce publishes
private letter from New Orleans, which states
that very little business has been done In that
city since its occupation by the troops under
ButIe. t
AlAichmond paper confirms the rumor Of the
reinforcement of the Confederate army in the
Valley Of the Shenandoah, and states that such
is now the strength of Gen. Jackson's forces,
that the Federal armies must either combine or
fall back to the Potomac.
Eleven hundred and eighty additional horses
were called for about a week ago by Gen. Megs,
to supply the loss of that number broken down
and lost, probably the march Of that
portion Of McDowells division which was sent
in pursuit of Jackson.
The report that General Beauregard isat Rich
mond, is confirmed by despatch from Corinth,
Tennessee, and also by statement received by
theway of Fortress Monroe.
Extraordinary preparations are being made at
Washington for the accommodation of the wound
ed in the coming battle before Richmond. In
addition to the ten or twelve churches which
have been taken for hospital uses, extensive
frame buildings have been erected for similar
purpose.
A Federal gunboat in making a reconnois-
sance in the James River, above City Point. on
Saturday last, was attacked by Confederates on
shore and considerably damaged.
1t is stated that Gov Harris of Tennessee, is
preparing for an important aggressive movement.

CoNFEDERArE PoLIoY The Charles
ton Asrcusy, in On article relating to the
defense of that city, remarks:
Our policy is dearly to s'attack at once
and furiously with the bayonet. Gun
boats cannot fire upon their own men, if
ours get close up. Delay, dirt digging
and artillery, if permitted, must always
end as it has done at Yorktown and at
Corinth. We will invariably be whipped
in that style of fighting. Balps Bluff and
Jackson's fight with Milroy should be our
models. The mountain regiments Of Vir-
ginia in the latter combats charged.
They took no prisoners. Pluck decided
the contest; and the troops of the North,
in the subsequent battles, could not stand.
Our people are calm and prepared for a
desperate resistance. Except the exempts
for railroads, workshops, banks, and news
papers, and the foreign population, few
are not in the ranks of the army. We
have every thing at stake in the struggle,
and little to hope in case Of failure.

PRopoRTIoNs OF THE HUMAN FIG

PROPORTIONS OF THE HUMAN FIG
URE.-The proportions of the human fig
ure are strictly mathematical. The whole
figure is six times the length of the foot.
Whether the form be slender or plump,
this rule holds good. Any deviation from
it is departure from the highest beauty
Of proportion. The Greeks make all their
statues according to this rule. The face,
from the highest point of the forehead,
where the hair begins, to the end of the
chin, is one-tenth of the whole stature. The
hand, from the wrist to the end Of the mid
die finger, Is the same. The chest is
fourth land from the nipples to the top of the
head is the,same. From the top Of the chest
to the highest point of the top of the fore
head, is aseventh. If the length of the
face from the roots of the hair to the chin
be divided into three equal parts, the first
division determines the point where the
eye brows meet, and the second the place
Of the nostrils. The navel is the central
point Of the human body, and if man
should lie on his back with his arms ex-
tended, the periphery Of the circle which
might be described around him, with the
navel for its centre would touch the ex-
tremities of his hands and feet. The
height from the feet to the top Of the head
is the same as the distance from the ex-
tremity Of one hand to that Of the other
when the arms are extended. These are
general measures Of the. species

The Confiscation Bill.

The confscation bill which passed the
Houseof Representatives on Monday week,
provides that all persons found in the civil,
military or naval service of the so-called
Confederate States, shall have their prop
erty, real or personal, subject to seizure
and forfeiture to the United States. The
bill also provides at length for judicial pro-
ceedings in the premises, and finally au-
thorizes the President to issue proclama-
ton calling on the rebels solay down their
arms, which if they fail to do in sixty days
thereafter, all their property is subject to
con6scation. All amendments to tie bill
affecting slaves of rebels were defeated -
Provision is included for the benefit of
loyal creditors, SO that the latter may re-
claim the amount Of their debts after the
rebel property has passed into the hands
of the government.
The bill received Ia majority in q House
of $50 members, 80 of whom voted in the
affirmative and 90 in the negative. Nine
members elected as Republicans, viz,
Messrs. Dawes, Delano, Owen, Granger,
Harrison, Horton, Nixon, Rice Of Mass.
and Train, voted against confscation.
Mr.. Noel, Of Mo-, was the only Democrat
who voted for the bill, and Messrs. Brown
and Whaley sof Virginia were the only
other Border State members who voted
for con6scation.
