The following advice 10 his country,
the original manuscript of which is now
ia possession of gentleman OF. WASH
ingtOn, was found among the papers of
james Madison, many years after his
decease:
"ADYICE TO MY CoUETRY.--As this adj
vice, if il ever sees the light, will not do
it till | am no more, it may be consider
ed assisting from the tomb, whore truth
alone can be respected, and the happi-
ness of man alone consulted. 1t will DO
entitled therefore TO Whatever weight
can be derived from good intentions, and
from the experience of one who served
his country in various stations through q
period of forty years; who espoused in
his youth, and adhered through his life,
to the cause of liberty, and who has
borne part in most of the great trans
actions which will constitute an epoch Of
its destiny.
"The advice neprestmy heart and deep
eet in my conviction is that the Union OF
the States be cherished and perpetuated
Let the open enemy TO it be regarded as
Pandora with the box open, and the
disguised one ~ the serpent creeping
with his deadly wiles into Paradise"

There are still few white mechanics

The Richmond Examiner Of the 18th
inst, says that on Saturday, the 10th
inst, very large and spontaneous meet
ing Of the mechanics and working men
OF Richmond was held to consider their
interests and obtain free expression Of
the sentiments Of the people generally.
From the resolutions passed, we select
the following:
"Resolyei, That awakened TO asense Of
the abiect posture to which labor, and
we who labor, have been reduced, and TO
the privileges which, as citizens and peo-
pie, the institutions of our country vest
in us, we will not sleep again until our
grasp has firmly clenched the rights and
immunities which are ours, as Americans
and men; until our just demands shall
have been met by the concessions Of all
opposing elements.
"Lesolped, That IL is the duty of the
Government TO take care of the unfortu-
nate, and not the rich"
The Enquirer is extremely indignant
at this assemblage, and deals with the

mics of the Confederacy have, for the
last two years, permitted all their rights
and immunities' TO be most materially
circumscribed, their privileges reduced
TO the one high and holy privilege of
shooting and being shot for their coun-
try. These men, without shoes, blank

with wounds, and even unto death, have
nobly and CALAMITY borne all these hard

then lay in state on the rotanda of the
Court House, which had been beautifully
draped for the occasion. The coffln--a
black one with massive silver mountings
was placed on dais in the centre of
the room, and strewn with aprofusion
of beautiful white roses. Four sentries
paced solemnly. around it, and guards
were placed at intervals up and down the
stairway leading to the street.
During the afternoon throng of visi-

The New Albany Ledger, "conserva-
tive" paper, speaking Of the recent cleo
tons, says;
The truth is, the result proves nothing
except that the people do not approve Of
Messrs. VaIIandigLam, Wood, Il. H. Sey-
mour & Co's plan of bringing the war to
a close by Withdrawing and disbanding
our armies, and leaving the rebels in
POSSESSION Of all the territory claimed
by them, which includes Tennessee,
Kentucky, Missouri, and all Of Virginia.
While the masses of the people are, as
we are fully convinced opposed to the
radical measures Of the present admins
tration and anxious for peace, they arc
not willing to surrender half the terrific
nv of the Union 70 the armed rebels, re-
lying upon luck for Tec0nstrueting the
Union at some future time, for the pur-
pose of securing what at bes! would DO
bat temporary and hollow truce.
The question hereupOn isvery natural
ly suggested why Vallandigham, Wood,
and TaH. Seymour were the only candi-
dates brought outby the 80 called con
sentative party, and why Che great mass
of that party voted for these men? The
whole conservative press in Ohio, New
York and Connecticut supported them
and their obnoxious dogmas. If consor-
vatism was SO weak as 10 be used az a
mere tool by the cOpperhead leaders, it
deserves 60 be considered the very oppo-
site Of patriotism and Unionism.

id MoDERN ECONOMY OF TINE The Sci
entihc American thus shows how time
has been economical by the application
OF machinery:
Cotton One man can spin more cotton
yarn now than four hundred men could
have done in the same time in 1760, when
Arkwright, the best cotton spinner, took
out his first patent.
Flosa.--One man can make IS much
flour in day now rs hundred and fifty
could century ago.
Ldce-One woman can now make as
much lace in day As hundred women
could q hundred years ago.
Sugar ut now requires only as many
days to refine sugar as IL did months
thirty years ago
looking Glasses--It once required six
months to put quicksilver on glass; now
il needs only forty minutes
Engines, The engine of hrst-rate
iron. clad frigate win perform as much
work in day as forty-two thousand
horses.
This list might be extended indefinite
ly, for there is scarcely an article of in
dustry produced which has not been in
creased in quantity to the same extent,
by the employment of improved mechAn-
ical means for its production. There is
probably no class of people who have
added more TO the wealth of the country
than inventors, whose business il is to
economist time, by deyisipg the best
methods Of accomplishing labor.
The inventors who enable mankind 70
economist time are the children of free
society. The slave States have never
produced one great inventor.

bill for the suppression Of gambling,
which had passed the Senate, was re-
iected on the 18th instant. In the course
of the debate on the bill il was stated
that tickets were recently sent TO the off,
GERS Of Gen. Lees ARMY from one Of the
large gambling houses Of Richmond, in
wiling them to fine dinner. The dis
cussion in the Legislature appears to
have alarmed the gamblers, for the En-
quirer says oe
"The line of separation between Con-
federate and State authority is plain, dis
tinct, and well defined The States are
the sovereigns--the Confederate Govern
ment ia the creature, called into exist
ence by those sovereigns. The States
retain all power which has not been sps-
officially delegated to the Confederate
Government, or which is not necessary
to carry into effect the delegated powers.
Every citizen owes allegiance to his State
and fidelity to the Confederate Govern
ment. Every State officer Is responsible
to his State, while every Confederate
officer is responsible to the Confederate
Government. Keeping these princi pies
clearly in view, the two Governments can
move on harmoniously, and all conflict
will be avoided. If the great doctrines
of States Rights are fully respected, har-
mony and concert between the two
Governments will most certainly be Sc
cured" Yisa
The conclusion Of this beautiful State
Rigbtp logic is, we infer, that the States
possess preserved right over gambling,
as they do over slavery, and the Confed-
crate Government has no right to inter
ferc. 5r..
