a SPLENDID MACHINE. As seed time ap-
proaches farmers will begin to look about
for the best machines for sowing and plan
ting. 1t has become an established fact that
wheat properly sown with drills is more IL
able to come to a healthy maturity than
that which is sown broad cast by hand and
dragged in. Speaking Of drills, we have
just been examining in company with some
agricultural friends the MAssILLoN DRILL,
patented by Coggchall and Warner. This
machine is manufactured like all others
from the Massillon works, in good style,
and finished up in NEST superior manner.
The arrangement for depositing the seed
and covering it up, is SO simple and perfect
in its operation that it is hard to conceive a
condition of soil in which it will not work.
We invite the farmers when in town to call
at Ruble's Agricultural store, on Main
street, opposite the McGregor House, and
inspect the machine.

HYATT House. On the occasion of a
recent excursion in Wis, We were railroad.
bound for five hours at GAINESVILLE, and went
to the Hyatt House, Sol. Hutson, propric-
tor. Knowing Sol. Of old, when under his
auspices the old American was so popular,
we went with no misgiving as to the species
of entertainment We should have. We
found everything in order. The fine rooms
of this excellent house were all we'll fur
nished, and the tables were choicely spread
and well attended. What will still further
interest the general reader is the fact that
the pc lite gentleman in the Office is not as
severe upon ones wallet as are many other
hotels We wot of, that furnish much inferior
accommodations.

A viEgir ian AbcIitionist.


Maj. j. l.. Vandiver, of Hampshire county,
who has just returned from an Imprisonment OF
ten months duration on ohnson's Island, near
Sandusky, Ohio, has shown us communication
written by J. Ell. Carskadon, one of Pierpont's
Senators, who claims to represent the counties
of Hampshire, Hardy and Morgan in the Bogus
Government at Wheeling. This communication
published in one of the Wheeling papers, shows
that this Carskadon, native of Hampshire,is OF
the vile abolitionsts one of the most vile. We
understand that he is slave holder himself
though he is wagng war of the most diabolica
character upon the institution of slavery and all
slave holders who will not bow the knee to the
Baal of Abolition. Maj. Vandiver asserts thai
Carskadon intercepted the letters which he had
written to his friends, and, in some instances
replied to them, and returned them to him. He
informed us that Miss Greene, Miss Brown, and
other ladies are now confined in prison at Wheel
ing. These ladies are guilty of no offense save
that of being true friends to the South, which
We are happy to know is true of nearly all the
ladies in the South, IT matters not by how many
male traitors they may be surrounded. We be
ieye that majority of the ladies even N the
free States of the North West are sympathizers
with the South. They discern by instinct the
cause of right and Justice.

Cooking Utensils.

Having called upon the good people of this
comfy to furnish the troops in the command OF
Col. Imboien with socks, gloves, blankets, &C.,
to which they are now responding IN liberal
spirit, as We were sure they wouio, we nope
we will not be considered unnecessarily lmpor-
tunate in now calling upon them to furnish cook
ing utensils, such as ovens, skillets, &c,-anv-
thing that will do to bake bread and fry meat
There are several companies, we learn, who have
only ONE camp kittIe and nothing else to cooS
with. They are in a precidament somewhat sim
liar to that of Tanialus, with plenty of provi'
sions within reach, but unable to partake o.
them. We know that cooking utensils are scarce
among the citiz ms, and that comparatively few
will be able 10 spare them, but if these few wi
furnish what thsy can spare, it will be amply
sufficient TO supply the wants of that command
Persons who have cooking utensils, and are un
able or unwilling 10 donate them, will be pait
the HIGHEST CASH Price for them.

A Bold Letter.

Colonel George P Kane, of Baltimore, who
was so long imprisoned in Fort Lafayette by the
Abolition Government, has written letter In
reply to certain interrogatcries propounded by
the New York Tribune, which concludes as ioi-
lows:
Knowing that the present war is sustained by
these practices, no honest man can call It war
for the Union, and no patriot can give II ms
support. If history be read Alright, the war has
effectually destroyed the Union, and whatever
may have been the hopes of those TO whom it
was once so dear, and | class myself among that
number, it's utter dissolution can only be viewed
now as an accomplished fact.
Whatever my wishes may be for the triumph
of the Southern Confederacy, they find their Or
igin in my sense ofjustice towards, and my sym,
patty with, an oppressed and much wronged
people.
That their bravery in arms, and patient endu-
rance under affection will ultimately triumph,
dc not entertain doubt.

The Yankee Cabinet.

The defeat of the Yankees at FTeder-
icksburg stunned the whole North
1t fell upon them like a thunderbolt.-
1t was very near SCATTERING Iincoln's
Cabinet like piece Of crockery ware
The Republican Senators in caucus re-
solved to ask Lincoln to remodel his
Cabinet. They were particularly severe
upon Seward. AS soon as he heard OF
their action he, and his son, who is as
sistant Secretary, presented their resig-
nations, and Chase, following suit, did
the same thing. Lincoln stiffened his
back, 'put his foot down firmly" and
swore that he would not yield to caucus
dictation. He appealed to Seward and
Chase to withdraw their designations,
and they, good easy souls, complied
Thus matters stand at present with re-
ference to Lincoln's Cabinet. What
the members of the Senatorial caucus
will now do, remaius to be seen.
