TIME successful development Of the art of sew
ing by machines, is an invention destined to
work Il complete aud beneficial revolution, in all
important and indispensable branch of the indus
try of Tie world. and to add rs much to the COM
fort and welfare of mankind as any mechanical
device that the mind Of man has yet conceived, or
his ingenuity carried into effect II is an iuven--
ton which will assuredy mark an era in human
progress. II is in fact the creation of a art.
That machines will produce 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
been fully tested and established, and their capac-
i.y of production shown to be little less than
marvellous, even in this nge Of astounding me-
chanical developments. That vast beneficial and
social consequences will accrue from their use is
no less certain. For some Of these have actually
been experienced. In families the advantages Of
a Good Sewing NJ chine are beyond computation.
1t has become a household companion, and is fast
Incoming an indispensable one, relieving females
from the waste Of precious time, and unhealthy
confinement, to which they have for eyes been
subject, by the necessity of hand sewing. In
this department the sewing machine may be re-
gardcd as means Of disseminating learning, ex:
tending education and public intellige as now
girls and middle-aged women, whose toll by the
hand needle was so much required, to do the FAM
ilv sewing, can accomplish great and better
results in one-tenth the time, and thus leave the
ba lance Of the time f6r reading and instruction.
And it is not to he forgotten that whatever instru-
mentality reaches this subject and tends to pro-
mote that kind OfmprOvement, contributes Ia like
manner to make better wives better mothers, and
their influence in turn to make better men, and
| all united to make better community and bet
ter world. AS

SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. Z, 1863.
The Presbyterian Church South and 6la-
very.

Our attention has been recently called to
the action of the Southern General Assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian Church, during the
past summer. on the subject of slavery.
While no disposition is manifested to libcrate
their slaves, they propose very important inn
provements in their condition, which, If car
ried into practice, would 60 very far towards
removing the curse of slavery, and thus Sc
cure a federation of the institution, until its
entire abolition can be secured by the slow
but sure operation of public opinion in the
States where it now exists. If what is now
suggested by this leading and influential &C.
clesiastical body, had been proposed three or
four years ago, as the basis of a settlement Of
the vexed question of slavery, it would have
been most gladly accepted by the North, and
the present rebellion, with all its direful con-
sequences, would have been prevented. Up
to the time of the rebellion, there was not ono
in twenty of the Northern population but
would have been willing that slavery should
continue indefinitely in tho ameliorated form
now proposed. But now, as the decree has
gone forth that slavery must die, the
great body of the people, both North and
West, are pledged to see the decree executed
in reasonable time. They will not now be
satisfied with any modification of the system
which does not look to its ultimate aboli-
tiun.
1t is now proposed that whites and blacks
worship together in churches and families;
that the testimony of slaves be allowed in
courts of justice in all cases affecting their
own rights; that the marriage relation be
sanctioned and protected by the laws Of the
State. They concluded by laying down the
broad proposition, that slavery ceases to be a
justified relation, when the advantages grow
ing out of it are not mutual; and they quote
and endorse tho scriptural command, !" Give
unto your servants that which is just and
equal"
This is not the first time in the history of
people. that they have commenced to
strengthen and furnish their outworks, just
as the foundation of their main citadel was
giving away. This repentant voice from the
South comes too late. The institution Of
slavery cannot be remodeled now that it's
hour Of dissolution is at hand. One year
ago they might, perhaps, have saved
slavery for generations to come, with these
benevolent guarantees. But they made q
different election and they must now abide
the result. The thousands Of Northern he
roes that have poured out their blood within
the past year at Charlottesville. Gettysburg,
Chattanooga, and other battlefelds, to ap-
pease the great Moloch Of slavery, cry from
the ground for its determination, and that

earnest of tho future, believing that we have,
to the best of our moderate ability, pursued Il
steadfast, consistent course, and added our
mite to the support Of free Government
This shall be our chief aim. AS long as the

has marked out for its guidance.
For the past few weeks we have been una.

We been able to present the usual variety of
selected matter. much Of our available space

those who have aided us thus far, will bear Us
company through our next volume.
