A son of Mr.. Walter, of the London
Times. has invented 8 printing press
which j. represented to be remarkable
for its simplicity, accuracy, speed and
economy. 1t is said to require but
few persons to feed and work it, and
to be capable of turning off II 600 i'm
pressiuns, printed on both sides, in an
hour. Its cylinders make two hun
dred revolutions per minute. The
machine Is almost entirely'selt-acting,
from the pumping OF the ink into the
ink-boX out Of the cisterm below
stairs, to the registering OF the num-
bers as they are printed, IN the man
ayers room above.
The Philadelphia Press is ofopin-
ion, "lrOm present indications, that
large communities of English and
Scotch people will soon be settled in
the northern belt of Southern States
from which the cOlored hands are
now daily migrating toward the
Gulf" The Press speaks of the great
inducements the South now unqueS-
tiOnably presents in the way OF cheap
lands, fertile soil, healthy climate, and
the universal want Of capital and la
Dor, and concludes that these will ere
long prove irresistible to Northern
emigrants and defect the current
from the West TO the South.
Mack says there Is some doubt about
Gov. Stevenson. Of Kentucky, being
allowed to take his seat in the United
States Senate. The leading Radicals
Of the Senate have been cOllecl ing in
fOTmatiOn-or what they choose to
call such-concerning his " record in
the war" and they have stuffed them
selves full of all manner of charges
against him. AmORg the rest, they
have the assertion OF Mr.. Winter
smith, who was a rival candidate for
the Senat0rship, that the Governor re
turned from Richmond in 1861 with a
rebel COlOnels commission in his
pocket, and that there are men in
Kentucky who saw that document.

A Chicago paper, correcting the
misstateEnent Of cOtempOFaTy, says
the Erie Canal had paid to the State
all its original cost, with interest on
loans and expense of management and
repairs, as long ago as 1886. Since
then the same canal has paid all the
cost of its enlargement and its repairs
and expenses and from 1886 to the
close ofIS6S has paid large surplus
into the state Treasury. This surplus
for several years has averaged $G,g00,-
600 annually. The Erie Canal has
probably paid into the New York
State Treasury, in excess Of lis cost oi
enlargement, repairs and
not less than $25, 900, 600.
The revenues of that canal have been
taken to build other canals, pay the
State debt and keep up a vast army Of
Office holders and contractors.
From a series Of calculations based
on the production Of cotton, its mar
ket value in bales and then in the form
Of yarns, il is stated that, If the South
were to spin their entire cotton crop
and then export the whole in this
form they would increase the home
value of each crop by about Sl50, 900,
I'D. and give employment 10 10000
hands, principally females from ten
years Of age 20 and small boys" The
paid labor wouid amount to SO, ,U00.-
600 per HnDum. Ia view Of his pre-

meT strongly urges "the planters Of
the cotton-grOwing districts all over
the South TO combine together ia Joint
stock companies, erect cotton mills Of
sufficient capacity 10 spin up their
CROPS" and then ship their yarn ''di-
