THNiIE successful development of the art Of sew.
ing By machines, is an invention destined to
work u complete and beneficial revolution, in an
important aud indispensable branch Of the indus
try of the world and to add as much to the COM
fort and welfare of mankind any mechanical
device that the mind Of man has yet conceived, or
his ingenuity carried into effect 1t is an invcu.
ton which will assnrcdiy mark an era in human
progress. 1t is in fact the creation of new art.
That machines will produce an entire change IN
the universal labor of sewing is now beyond
doubt-the beginning Of the end" has, indeed,
already appeared; for their working powers have
boon fully tested and cstniished and their capac'
ity of production shown to he little less than
marvellous, even in this age Of astounding me-
chanical developments. That vast beneficial, snd
social consequences, will accrue from their use is
no less certain. For some Of these have actually
been experienced. In families the advantages Of
Good Sewing Machine are beyond computation
II has become a household companion, aud Is fast
becoming an indispensable one relieving females
from the waste of precious time, and unhealthy

this department the sewing machine may be re-

girls and midde-aged women, whose toll by the

lily sewing, can accomplish as great and better
results, in One-tenth the time, and thus leave the
balance of the time for reading and instruction.
And il is not to be forgotten that whatever iustr-
mentality reaches this subject, and tends to pro-

BRANCH MINT FOR THE NORTHERN COAST.
Tho establishment of mint in the Column
river valley is now being agitated by our CO.
temporaries in Oregon. This is good
measure, and we think if it is properly rep
resented to the attention of Congress, the
application will not be refused. There is
certainly much more need for mint some
where in the Columbia river valley, than
there was at Pixies Peak, and in Nevada
Territory, where minis have been already es-
tablishcd. We presume the Oregon delega-
ton will induce Congress to comply with the
request of our citizens. The location Of the
mint should be entirely ignored, for after all,
it will be located by commissioner appoint
by the President, Gas was the case in Neva-
da Territory with reference to the accom-
mediation Of the mining interest.

VALLANDIGHAM.

a soldier in the West thus writes of the
of the case of tho traitor Vallandigham
His offence was essentially a military one,
in this respect, that it demooralized the army,
prevented recruiting, encouraged desertion, in
cited men to resist the arrest of deserters, and
tended to make trouble about the increase of
the army by conscription, by melting resistance
to the execution of the law These, mind you.
are not prOblematical results of his course, but
actual. Specific cases of all of them, except
ing the last, are continually occurring, invaria-
bly, among men who call themselves Democrats
and swear by Vallandigham. The only remedy
was by sudden and short stOppage.
This could not possibly be effected by the
civil law. His offence is hardly known to civil
law, and there would have been no end to trou-
bic in getting him indicted. Then he would
have been simply bound to stand his trial at
some future day, and would have gone on talk,
ing his treason and sedition. And the bad ef:
fects before mentioned would have gone on
growing in power and influence, and might
have got too big to stop
" Moreover, special cases Of i'll doing, result
ing from and directly in accordance with hi,
teachings have constantly to be attended TO-
They cannot be overlooked. Should we pun
iSh them and let him 60 on melting the com
mission Of just such acts, abusing the court,
that try them, and bringing their authority i'll
to disrepute?
You have no idea of the amount of oper
and bold disloyalty-not simply disloyalty BY
the Republican standard, but by that Of an,
honest man--cxisting in Ohio, Indiana ant
Illinois, among the Vallandigham party. |
must be stopped and put down now, not 81,
months hence, and military tribunals are tn
only ones that can do it. 1t is that, or the los
of the cause. The course of these men pro
longs the war and costs lives by thousands

must so down, and that speedily"
