The great trouble with sewing machines, thus
far, has been that those which are good for any
thing, such as Singers, Grover Bakers, or
Whcclcr& Wilson's are too expensive. whilst the
cheaper ones were made SO imperfect that they
did not answer the purpose. Messrs George +.

tcctrons OF the higher priced machines, and only

a Patriotic Family.

The late Col. Samuel Wyke Black OF the
62d Pennsylvania regiment, killed in one OF
the battles before Richmond, was member
of family represented by seven or eight OF
its number at the recent battle on the Pc
ninsula. A brother of the Col. William
Black, was connected with the same regi.
ment, and two of bis nephews, lads of sew
enteen and nineteen years, were privates in
the Sickles brigade. The two young men,
sons of the late Rev. Andrew w. Black,
d. D., lett their widowed mother at the
commencement of the rebellion, eni!sting in
company of picked young men from Pitts.
burgh, Pennsylvania, and coming to this
city to join the brigade of Sickles, in order
to get Immediately on the battle fed.
Col. Black and Gen. Crawford (of Fort
Sumter fame) were cousins, both named af-
ter the Rev. DR.. Samuel Wyke, President
of the University of Pennsylvania, and all
of them sons of clergymen of the Old School
Presbyterian denomination.
Colonel Black, while Governor of Ne.
braska, was for long time an intimate &C.
quaintance of General Beauregard. Their
families resided in the sans vicinity, and
were on terms of intimate friendship. They
both left Nebraska early 10 1861 their
next meeting place was on the battlefield.
Col. Black was an out and out Union man,
fighting bravely for the old flag. His dying
words, distinctly uttered, were, ''On! my
brave fellows-on! - His body is in the
hands of the rebels.-Euening Post.

NEW YORK, July lO.-Tbe World says !:
ave give an interesting statement by q
Union man who has just reached this city
from Atlanta, Georgia, respecting the posi-.
tion OF affairs at the South. We can vouch
for its being trustworthy. 1t appears, first,
that, had the recent contest before Richmond
terminated in Confederate defeat, the re-
bellion would have been ended, as the spirit
OF the South was almost utterly broken by
the long series Of rebel defeats; second that
the rebel army at Richmond previous to the
late battles was undoubtedly over 200, 900
strong. Fully half of Beauregard's army
passed through Atlanta, bound for Rich.
mond, to this gentleman's knowledge.
Third, that but a comparatively small
quantity of cotton has been destroyed at
the South. as the planters do what they can
to save and not destroy their property.
There will be an abundance therefore, for
the needs Of commerce whenever the rebel.
lion is ended. Fourth that the wheat and
oat crops at the South are utter failures,
and that if the corn crop should also fail,
famine as we'll as the other horrors Of war,
be the fate Of tpe South"

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT TOWARD THE JAMES
RIVER.

Special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, July l1.-While on the
peninsula the President bad as accurate re-.
turns as possible made to him of the losses
in the recent battles but there are dozen
stories as to what the actual footing was
This evenings Star says the killed, wounded
and missing in all the seven battles were
reduced to IL 900. Frank Blair, who &C
companied the President, says 10000, while
Senator Wilson was understood to say that
the Presidant told him $4,000. At any
rate reinforcements now have far more than
supplied ell losses.
The Richmond Examiner and Dispatch
of July Z, gives rs more encouraging views
of the rebel dependency than anything we
have hitherto had. Its articles are regard
ed as indicating belief that McClelan's
present position is entirely safe from any
attack they can make and q continued mem
ace to the safety of their capital.
The President, Assistant Secretary Wat
son and Frank Blair bring back most en-.
couraging news from. McOlellan's army,
which they report in fine condition and re-
stored to more than the original strength
again and ready for offensive operations.
1t may be regarded as settled that Nc.
Clellan will remain in command OF the ar
my and Mr.. Stanton retain his place in the
Cabinet. The President is indisposed to
make any changes for the present.

1t is generally believed that Congress will
adjourn next Monday. Little business re-
mains except the con6scation and tariff bill I,
which are in the hands of the conference
committees, and Harris provisional gov
ernment bill, which still hangs fire to the
Senate.
Some law authorizing the employment of
negroes 10 military duties is pretty certain
to be crowded through before adjournment.
The Republicans seemed unanimous on the
subject, and late reverses before Richmond
have opened the eyes of many conservative
Democrats aud border State men in our
perilous condition and the absolute neces~
sity of availing ourselves OF every possible
advantage. The feeling against the present
easy mode of conducting the war is univer-
sal.
Garrett Davis introduced an exceedingly
stringent bill furnishing all who have in
any way given aid or comfort to the rebel
lion, even by expressing wish for its sue
cess to their friends, by fine or imprison
meEt. 1t is hoped by some that such bill
as this, te secure jury trial to all rebels
and avoid any coDfiscation of slaves and
property, will be passed.
Preston Kings bill for enlisting negroes.
which the Senate debated this afternoon,
was approved by every member of the
military committee before its introduc.
tion. 1t liberates all slaves so enlisted.
Fessenden, Wilson end other Senators
bitterly denounced Mr.. Stanton's press
censorship.
1t is supposed now that one object of the
War Departments temporary suppression
of news about the Richmond battles was
to delay the news getting to England. 1t
now turns o1t that even this was a CONS
plete failure, as it is now known that the
rebels had supplied Baltimore secessionists
with full files of Richmond papers up to
last Saturday, which were sent off by the
last steamer to each OF the prominent Lon-
don and Paris journals.
