THE Grover 4 Baker Sewing Machine has
special claims TO public attention, as very SUI
perior and valuable assistant in household in
dustry. That this machine has made thousands
of friends, who attest its superiority over every
thing else can not be doubted; and it is claimed
that It's only necessary to REASON upon its Pc
culiarities to enable any person to appreciate
its advantages in the family over any other one
in use. What these advantages are claimed to
be, we propose briefly TO state, that compari-
son may be drawn between the Grover a Baker
and other machines:
|. It makes the only seam formed by sewing
machine in which each stitch is independently
locked, and without dependence upon the other
stitches for strength.
2. II makes the only seam that will admit Of
the thread being cut at every fourth stitch with
out injury TO the seam in wear.
3. 1t is unnecessary to fasten the ends of
seams made by this machine. This is done by
the machine itself, without the use of the hand
needle. fb
A. The Grover Baker stitch is the only one
formed from two ordinary spools, and without
winding from the spool into the shuttle from
three to FIVE times for the under thread.
s. A seam thus formed is more elastic than
any other made bya sewing machine, and is
very valuable in all goods that are to be washed
and stretched under the iron.
g. The machine is adapted to all varieties of
fabrics, sewing each equally we'll, and requiring
no adjustment for any kind Of sewing other
than the adoption Of needles and thread.
7. 1t is more easily kept in order than any
other machine, and need not to be taken apart
to be oiled.
8. The machine sews common spool cotton,
silk, and linen thread with equal facility.
Q. The machine is so simple that an inteli-
gent child of ten years can readily learn to op-
crate and keep il in order.
10. BY reason of its simplicity of construc-

F.P. Blair IA Richmond.

| Under this head the Richmond Dispatch OF
a late date, comments as follows upon the ar
rival Of Mr.. Blair in Richmond,
FrancitP P. Blair senior, the Yankee Pence
Com missioner, arrived in this city late on
Wednesday night, attended by servant Mr..
| Blair came into our lines at point in front of
Port Hudson, held BY the CITY Battery He
was delayed several hours on our lines wait
| ing for a permit TO come to the city, which
was not procured till late hoar Of the night
Since his arrival he has been kept, or kept
himself from the public eye, and his move
ments and whereabouts are shrouded in mys-
terry. Ae is believed to be lodged at the
Spottswood Hotel We think there is little
doubt that he is there, though his name does
not appear on the register. He has been met
accidentally by several OF his old acauaintan--
ces. Their meetings were characterized by
the utmost cordially on both sides. lie ia
said to have had an interview with the chiei
executive officers of the Government What
passed at these interviews we need not ex-
pect to know until Mr.. Blair returns to the
United States, when everything will be pub
lshed in full in the New York Tribune aud
other New York papers Blairs ostensible
business in Richmond, or rather presumed
business here, for there is nothing ostensible
abont him, or his business, or movements, is
to ascertain whether anything can be done to
bring about cessation Of hostilites, and an
end to the war We think his real business Ia
to place the Lincoln Administration in good
opnisn before the Northern people, who are
just called upon to fill another draft Lincoln
knows that the propositions he will make are
such that will be spurned by our Government;
but our rejection Of them will enable him TO
go before his people, and, with Blair's aid, to
prove that the rebels will accept no terms Of
peace, and that nothing is left him hut a Wig
orous prosecution OF the war, Mr. Blair will
return to Grants lines on Saturday, if the
freshet subsidss sufficiently to allow Gag OF
truce to go down the river. We have no news
from the Southwest.

mrs senator Foo,e,. op,nlon

WAsHlEGToN, January 10 From An inter
view with Mrs. Senator Foote it,appears that
her husband resigned his seat at the time il
WAS 30 reported; that the rebel Congress is
slavishly subservient to Davis; that when bills
meet with opposition, the majority go into Sc
cret session and rush them through; that the
character of the war has been changed by
Davis, and is now carried on for his own pur'
poses; that unless it can be terminated to suit
hum and his school of politicians, he will carry
il on more bloody and barbarous than ever;
that thers is not the slightest prospect
Of Mr. Blair meeting With success that the
contractors do not desire termination of the
war, and are doing everything to continue il;
that the great mass Of the people want Ia
come back into the Union under the Consti
tuition, but are restrained by military power;
and As freedom Of the press in this particular
is entirely gone, there is no way for them to
express their views. 1t was for the purpose OF
serving these people that Mr Foote endeavor
ed to reach Washington.
Mrs. Foote says that those who serve with
the Richmond Junts live as we'll as ever, being
supplied with all luxuries at comparatively
small cost as the Government pays the ex
penses.

From WaahIp0ton.

NEw YoRK, January i6--The HerAlds
Washington special says
Admiral Porter has sent a communication
to the Navy Department in which he reports
10 some Of General Butlers statements in re.
gard TO the Naval part Of the expedition, de-
laying the attack on Fort Fisher and thus
causing 1t failure. He says the only work as
signed 10 the Navy was TO silence the rebel
words aud that he did that effeciually on the
Oath and 25lh OF December, bot that ss Gen.
eral Butler then decided that an assault by bis
military forces was unfeasibe, and it would
not have been less 40 on Ru earlier day. He
is Of the opinion that the tort could easily have
been taken by the troops, il an effort had been
made.
General Butler started on the expedition
the Admiral sRys before the naval feet was,
ready to cooperate with him, and thus by sx-
posing his transports to the view Of the enemy
warned them Of their danger. He also
charges that the army portion Of the expedi-
ton WAS gotten up in very unmilitary man
ner.

psys:
There was Il report in Sherdans army on
Saturday night, that large body OF rebels
was advancing on Weston, Lewis county, Va f,
situated on the west branch of the Moponga-

yesterday did not confirm this rumor.
A cavalry expedition left camp at Winches-
ter on the 10th, aud proceeded as far as Ber-
rysvile, seventeen miles southwark, without
meeting any enemy, except few guerrillas,
who kept well Off The command then pro-
ceeded to MlwOod, and found that no rebels
had been there for several weeks. Thence
they proceeded to the Shenandoah, which they
found unfordable, but learned that Rosser' 8
cavalry had gone into winter quarters at ST.
funston, and Mudwall Jacksons command
was at Creighton's.
The steamer, Morning Star, from New Or

The Savannah Republican OF the ] lth inst.
publishes letter from General Sherman to a
prominent citizen, stating that he is merely
military commander, and can act only in that
capacity He cannot give assurances or
pledges affecting civil matters A lature Con
gross will adjust these when Georgia is again
represented there as OF old He says that
Georgia is out Of the Union; therefore a total
reconstruction appears inappropriate as long
as any Of the people remained armed and Or
ganized
The United States would pursue them with
armies and deal with them according TO mill
tAry law Afterwards they will be dealt with
by the civil courts.
He thinks that the sams course should be
adopted as indicated by General Washington
in the whisky rebellion, and in accordance

There is no other alternative for tho people
