In presenting this new invention to the agri-

hibted it in competition with others. and this,
we know, is more than can be said Of any other
Machine in the United States. Some of the adj
vantages of those powers are: low elevation, slow
travel of team, and of course ease of team. 1t is
a great labor saving implement and will save
more than twice its cost every year. beside max

it with ease. You can use any kind of horses the

Loss IN GREAT GENERALS.

The South has suffered severely during this
war in the loss of distinguished Generals. Ihey
expose themselves in every battle and sometimes
we think unnecessarily. And yet, irreparabe
as their. loss seems at the time, the cause has
continued to prosper. When Albert SiCney
j Johnson-consdered by many the best military
genius of Amerca-iell, Respondent feelings op.
pressed many minds but the flag he vindicsted
still waves in triumph When that great STRAIT
egist and heroic spirit, Joe Johnston, was disa-
bled at most critical hour, at the battle of the
Seven Pines, the loss was repaired and Richmond
redeemed. And though our glorious Jackson is
gone, the cause, the men, and the leaders, still
remain, who under the blessings of Providence.
will hnrl back the myrmidons ot'tyranny as fast
as their footsteps profane our soil.--IDlspatcb

The remains of our greatand go cd chief, Lit.
Gen. Thomas j. Jackson, were committed to the
tomb in Lexington, Va, on Friday, the 18th
inst. The body envelcped in the Confederate
flag and covered with flowers, was borne on a
caisson of the Cadet Battery, draped in mourn
ing. Tne Lexington Gazette says:
An Interesting company of the procession con-
sisted cf such off 'ers and soldiers of the old
StonewalI Brigade as happened at the time to be
in the county. 1t awakened thrilling associa-
tions, to see the shattered fragments of This ia.
nous Brigade assembled under the flag of the he
roic Liberty Hall boys, the same fla, which was
for some time the Regimental stand ,rd of Jack
sons old Fourth Regiment, and which that regi-
ment carried in triumph over the bloody field of
Manassas, on the ever memorable 21st day of
July.
Another int eresting part Of the ceremonies of
the day, was the religious services conducted
with admirable propriety, in the church in which
our great chieftain had delighted to worship God
for ten years before the beginning of his late
brilliant career of active operations. The SER
vices were conducted by the Rev. DIR. White,
the only pastor Gen Jackson ever had after he
became an avowed soldier of the Cross "a pas
tor whom be senderly loved and whose re ligious
councils he modestly sought, even in the midst
OF the most absorbing scenes through which he
mad passed during the last two years.
