They Stitch, Hem, Bind, Fell, Quilt

Their capacity for work,a s compared with hand
sewing, is as iollows-thus the time required to
make the following articles u.s.

The grcat trouble with sewing machines thus
far has been that those which are good for any,
thing, such as Singers, Grover Bakers, or
Whcoler& Wilson's ARE too expensive, whilst the
cheaper ones were made so imperfect that they
did not answer the purpose. Messrs George +.
Collins Co., of Chicago, bring now before the
American public ElIiot's Improved "Pearl"
double threaded machine, which has all the per-
iectIOns OF the higher priced machines, and only
costs s3O-Gydnd Rdpi@ (Mch.) Adrertiser.
EHiors "Pclrl" Seeing Machiac.-we can
truly say that It Is, for the family, THE invention
OF the age How rapidly aud pleasantly 1t works!
and what convenience 1t must be! We wonder
If any family will be without them when they can
be obtained at so low price as $50. five had 4
wife, farm and family, surely we should have
one of these machines, for they are Just the thing
for tarmer's-or, for that matter, anybody's-

cheap and Serricedbie.-We have, Tor some
weeks past, had on trial one OF Elllots Improv-
ed "Pearl' Sewing Machines. The price Oft
being cheaper than that of any other machine, we
were somewhat skcptlCal regarding its reliability;
but after thorough and critical trial, we will say
It is every way worthy OF the high reputation sus
tanned by 1t. Its cheapncss, instead Of detracting
| from Its WORTH makes it the more desirable IN
| these hard times Its stitch is perfect, and then
the working of 1t is simple that its use is
easily learned. To our family friends we fully

From Fortre.s Monroe.

FoRT MONROE, January 26-The Richmond
Dispatch of Friday shows that the rebels are much
perp exed at their defeat in Kentucky.
The Dispatch says we regret TO say that the re
port of the Federal victory in Kentucky. con-
veyed 20 W on Wednesday night from Northern
sources is more than confirmed BIZ intelligence
received here at the War Department. Ii appears
that our defeat more decisive than even the
Northern accounts had led us 10 believe
The editor says that this disaster in Kentucky
and the apprehension it has excited for the safety
of our connection with the Southwest through
Virginia and Tennessee and that of tho East
Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, and the pos
sble interruption of intercourse with the South by
way of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad by
the Burnside expedition, makes the connection
between Richmond and Danville and the North
Carolina railroads OF vital Importance, and directs
attention to the matter
Augusta, GA, Jan. GA private letter re
ceyed from Charleston yesterday SAYS: Five stone
vessels were sunk in the channel yesterday.
The Savannah Republican, Of this morning,
says:
The statement that Federal vessels had gone
up Broad river is incorrect
The Dispatch contains "A statement that report
had reached Baltimore of the loss of FIVE of the
Burnside feet in Pamlico Sound, and that large
steamboat, probably the Louisiana, had been
burnt.
Thus it would seem that this report had no
other foundation than this Secession sheet.
