Corn Cultiyator.

re- We had the pleasure of viewing,
the past week, the operation of Patent
Corn Cultivation, invented by Messrs.
T. r. CoRSIoK. aud DANIEL SMYsER,
the latter Of this County. Ii is "a very
simple machine, consisting of common
shovel plows attached TO frame mount
ed upon a couple Of wheels. The pillow
man rides, and guides the two centre
ploSs, which are attached to long han
dies, and play freely. Being thus under
perfect control, the driver is enabled 10
60 rs far from, OF a. near TO, the hill, as
he wishes, This free motion Of the cen.
ire plows vii also enable him TO cover
corn, thus making the machine particu.
larry useful in corn planting time. as
well as at the time for corn blowing. II
does its work we'll and rapidly, man
and two horses eultivatiug readily from
seven TO nine acres per day. II has been
tested by practical experience, and found

is well'known, practical farmer Of this
vicinity. substantial and respected. aud
his representations can be depended up
on. Common wagon wheels may be
used for The machine, aud every farmer
could make the remainder Of the wood
work. Mr.. SMYsER thinks that n farmer
having the shovels could easily construct
one OF the machines, aud at cost no
exceeding four or five dollars. II il

1st Iowa COIorcd Regiment.

/
EE~ We had call, last week, from
Mr.. H. WILLIAMS, OF Capt. LEES Co.,
who has been Cor long while. however,
detailed for duty at Keokuk. He has
now commission to raise company in
the lst Colored Regiment Of Iowa, now
being organized at Davenport. Mr..
WILLIAMS recruited EDWARD HERNDoN,
commonly known as "Cap. LEES con-
traband," and strange as it may appear,
we have yet to learn that single Cop.
perhead has found out that new danger
has threatened the Constitution. There
are two other colored men, slaves when
the war broke out, in the County, and
both are anxious to GO back and fight
the Rebels. But like HERNDoN, both
are so highly priced by their present
employers. that every inducement is
made to get them to stay. We can't say
that we think this course altogether
patriotic in the employers. The govern
ment wants men to recruit the forces in
the field. She wants every man she can
get, white or colored, and if these men
are anxious to 60. by all means give them
Good speed"
By the way, how well it looks for a
lot of lazy. debauched, whisky drinking
bipeds, who, with schools and education
al institutions free to them all their lives,
can yet scarcely scratch their names, or
read sentence without spelling it out as
they go-how well it looks for these fel
lows to stand hob nobbing over a bar.
room counter. and talk of the negro as
being debased." and degraded" and
having "no soul, pc not capable Of ris,
ing above the BRUTE" and "only fit for
slavery how well this looks, in the
light Of the fact that the three contra
bands sent into this County since the
war, have proven themselves SO honest,
so trustworthy, so capable, so valuable
to their employers, as 10 induce every
effort TO be made to keep them-and in
the light Of that other fact that each APP
plies all his leisure devotes every unen-
listed hour-to gaining little knowl
edge Of the simple forms OF learning :?
Why, HERNDoN was whipped, time and
again, by his Mistress in Missouri, for his
efforts to learn to read, and so good use
has he made of his time since he has
been freed from slavery, that o-day he
can read, write and spell better than
ninetenths Of the Copperheads in this
County Not only that, but he is better
informed, in almost every way, than
scores Of these same Copperheads, who
have had teachers and newspapers and
books all their lives at hand, ready to
instruct them. And yet a I" niger is only
a brute, and only fit 10 be slave !"
God help US, how british some white
men can be. too. TO be sure

him 500 in Buchanan. for in point Of
worth Mr.. HART is far his superior.

community have cause TO regret, thai
means sufficient could not be Obtained
TO erect a larger building, and have il
finished completely as designed, with
bell tower and bell. We trust that bu
little time will elapse before this may yet
be done. Liberality in the community

churches, always pays largely-a fac

not yet recognized.

a few companies Of militia in aud villages far

combining quickly the scattered companies all that

The consequences Of this slip shod Southern way Of
doing things are before in the rad Knoxville and the
destruction Of the bridge Strawberry Plains the raid
