THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of the South in its former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at the
low rate of 81 so for six months.
The annals of the American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude Of its issues and the mo-
righteousness of its results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very life of free government is on trial,
and it will be sad commentary on the
capacity of the people for the exercise of
that high trust if they, the jurors who are
to try the issue, pronounce q verdict of
self-condemnation. If the South has any
hope it is in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election;
| and every citizen is vitally interested in
the progress of the battle, and cannot
| afford to be without sonnd and reliable
| newspaper.
AS an organ, not only Of sound Demo-
cratic principles, but as a vehicle Of ge-
neral news, the CLEANER is confidently
| commended to Southern support. A large
eight-page paper, Of forty-eight columns,
respondents, the daily wealth of tele-
graphic communication and readable edi-
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disabuse the Northern mind
of the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
| industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view of the
matter, no more valuable aid to the true
reconstruction OF the country and restora-
tion OF just sentiment at the North toward
| the South can be rendered than by sub
scribing to the WEEKLY CLEANER and
| sending it to acquaintar ces and friends in
the Northern States.
| We SIX the aid Of such of our political
comrades as shall see this prospectus, in
the distribution of the paper; especially
during the progress of the impending
campaign.
The WEEKLY CLEANER is published
every Wednesday morning, and mailed to
single Subscribers at $500 per arum; Six
Months, s1.50; Three Months, 75c.; Single
Copies, 10c. Sample copies will be sent
on receipt of address. Money for sub
scription should be sent in drafts or post
Office orders, but may be sent in regis
! tered letter.

nal states that the reports that they
have been enabled to gather in re-
gard to the cotton crop of that Sec
tion, and, in fact, the whole State,
indicate that the yield will be about
equal to that of last year. The num-
Der of acres under cultivation is much
less than was the case last year, but
the yield to the acre has been de-
cidedly better. On the whole, the
farmers have done we'll with the in

that their fortune has been thus
good.

BrioIC-NIaIring Extraordinary.

There is now on exhibition in the
rear of No. 80 Ann street, New York,
machine in active work which,
from the character of its labors, can
not fail to awaken general interest.
Itstands at the further extremity of
o courtyard, and, from its simplicity
of form, might be passed by un-
noticed. Nevertheless there is much
to see about it, and its work affords
pleasant field for reflection. It is q
machine for making bricks, nothing
more, and although not the first Of
its kind, it has peculiar qualities
worth making note of. It consists
principally of an upright cylinder.
standing on O revolving disc, all
standing in q space Of about eight
feet square, and weighing two and q
half tons. The top Of the cylinder
is about breast high, and into it is
easily thrown the clay. which is then
simply watered. There is no other
preparation. The machine does its
own tempering. Within the cylinder
reyolves an upright shaft, furnished
with blades set at an angle, which
cut up and temper the clay, at the
same time pressing it downward into
the brass moulds in the revolving
disc. as fast as they are brought
round. BY simple arrangement
the clay is further compressed as it
travels round, and is then tilted out
"a perfect brick in few moments,
and lifted off ready for hacking.
Owing to the want of space for
dumping clay, the labors of the ma
chine yesterday were necessarily Of
short duration-while the material
lasted. But enough of its working
was shown to astonish the visitors.
The bricks turned up on the table or
revolving disc much more rapidly
than two inexperienced hands could
remove them. They were perfect in
shape, of smooth surface, and SO COM
pressed that they could be handled
without soiling the fingers. The
rapidity with which the unshapen
clod turned out ''perfect brick"
was truly astonishing, and suggests
the hope that the promised machine
to grind up the old folk and turn out
babies is not q myth after ALL
An engine of 15-horse power drives
the machine exhibited yesterday.
When at its full working power, two
men are required to shovel in the
clay, two boys to remove the brick,
three to truck them off to the hack,
in which they are piled for prepara-
tory drying, prior to being placed in
the kilns. With this force, assuming
the clay to be laid down at the ma
chine, 10000 bricks can be easily
made, trucked off and hacked in ten
hours. This is truly remarkable,
and there is fair reason to hope that
the advent of this machine is pro-
mise OF reduced prices in the build
ing material it supplies, and, as q
consequence, reduced rents. The
machine is the invention of Mr..
Gard, of Chicago, where it is now in
extensive operation, and where, on
one occasion, it turned out A, 500
bricks in single day. 1t will re-
main on exhibition at the place above
named for some time, where it will
we'll repay the visits of machinist,
capitalists and the curious.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

AVOID POIsON.-INVALID READER,
do you know what nine-tenths of the bit
ter compounds You are solicited by the
propretors to accept as universal pana-
ceas are composed of? Give heed for a
moment. They are manufactured from
unpurifed alcohol, containing consider
able portion of fusH OLA poison almost
as deadly as prussic acid. The basis of
the regular tincturos of the Materia Me-
dica is the same. No amount of "herbal
extracts" can overcome the bad tendency
OF this pernicious element. The essence
of sound rye, thoroughly rectifed, is the
only stimulant which can be safely used
as component of q tonic, alternative and
anti-bilious medicine, and HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS is the only medi-
cinal preparation in the world in which
this article is used as an ingredient.
Hence the extraordinary effects of this
great specific. 1t gives strength without
producing excitement. No other tonic
does this. All the ordinary bitters flush
the face and affect the brain. Hostetter's
Bitters diffuses an agreeable calm through
the nervous SYSTEM promotes digestion
and produces sleep. No other tonic 80
quickly revives the exhausted physical
energies, restores the appetite and re-
moves the gloom and depression which
always accompanies weakness of the
bodily powers. 1t purges from the sys-
tenn the morbid humors which retard its
natural functions. and which bring pale
ness to the cheek and suffering to the
brow. 1t banishes those clogs upon plea
sure, restores the system to high health,
and necessarily proves valuable adjunct
to the digestive organs. A trial is all that
Is needed to establish it in the confidence

CODperhead Assault on Repub-
lican Meeting in SanduSlzy.

|
One of the most disgraceful and
dastardly acts our city has witnessed
in long time was perpetrated last
Monday evening at the meeting ap-
pointed for General Gibson in the
fifth ward. AS soon as had taken
his position on the balcony where
he was to speak, the rebel element
commenced such yell as has sell
dom been heard since the Confeder-
ate lines were obliterated, and at the
same time stones, brick bats, and
other missiles were thrown among
those who were there peaceably to
listen to the speech. p. Hornig,
marble CUTTER on the corner of
Market and Jackson streets had his
head severely cut by one of the fly
ing missiles. Several other parties
were hit, though none were serious
ly injured. The Republicans though
out in force, refused to retaliate,
and not blow was struck or stone
thrown by them, but after cndeav-
oring to hold a meeting, as they had
a perfect right to, and finding it inn
possible without general row and
cleaning out of tue intruders, they
adjourned, and quietly marched
back to their headquarters. Thus
ended one Of the most disgraceful
proceedings in our midst, we have
ever been called on to record San
dusky Register.

New YoRK.-The n. Y. Post
speaking of the probable result in
that State says:
It is now generally conceded that
Mr.. Seymour cannot be elected
President of the United States
But Republican journals have not
generally included New York in
their estimates Of the probable cleo
toral votes for Grant. It was not
needed to secure his election; and
the overwhelming reverse of last
fall was accepted as reason for
not counting it. Yet no Republican,
journalist or politician of good
judgement has in his own mind con-
ceded this state to the democrats at
the November election. The ma
tional and state nominations were
! made with reference to obtaining a
majority in New York General
Grant was the choice Of all the Re
publicans. Mr.. Griswold was NOM
mated for Governor because he was
considered as sure to carry the
state. We do not believe this con
fndence to be i'll founded. Events
since the nomination of Seymour
have shown the people that the on
ly way to peace and order, lies
through the election of Grant
There is no doubt that the Re
publicans will elect from three fifths
to two thirds of the next Assembly,
and almost the same proportion of
the next Assembly, and almost the
same proportion of the Congress
sional delegation. This narrows
down the contest to the state and
electoral tickets. The popularity
of Gen. Grant, and the anxiety of
our best citizens for a full and
speedy determination Of the south
ern controversy, assure him of a
large majority. The counties which
always give Republican majorities
will all give handsome gains Mr..
Griswold is popular wherever he is
known, and always runs ahead of his
ticket. Heis of pure personal char
acter, an earnest patriot, with ex-
perience in national affairs, and free
from any alliance or aff1liation with
any ring of corrupt combination.

From the Monthly Report of the
Commissioner of Agriculture, we
reproduce the following:
WHEAr.-The correspondence of
August and September has beeE
very voluminuous and indefinite
concerning wheat, furnishing nu-
merous and contradictory elements

ments of disappointed expectations
in threshing are sufficiently abund-

other parts of the west, to furnish
themes for agricultural croakers q

in the distant west has been burden
to wheat-growers. On the other
hand, cases are mentioned of q
threefold average with half an av-
erage yield, giving a fifty per cent.
aggregate increase Notwithstanding
the loss; numerous returns declare
the present the largest crop in many
years; and the majority, in view of
the general increase in acreage,
show better result than that of last
year, after accounting for losses in
the yield. 1t may be stated, how
ever, that the average yield per acre
of the whole country is scarcely
equal to that of 1867, but the in
creased area sown will secure an ag-
eregate somewhat larger than the
product of that year,
