Who took the Premium at the Augusta Coun-
ty Fair? Singer? No Howe? No Florence
No Empire? No Who then? Wheeler & Viii
son. One of The Staunton Agents told a young
lady that had the Wheeler s. Wilson that it
would not sew in wet weather Wonder if he
did not find out that it would sew in damp
weather on the last day Of the Fair. What a
funney 'iphezlov'' that Agent is. But now to
the point; the Wheeler & Wilson is the only sew
ing machine that can or did stand the test before
impartial judges, those judges were Messrs. Funk
houser, Lushbaugh, Lipscomb, Smith, Butcher,
Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Coiner.
What machine did Fell & Hem bias canton
flannel? None but the Wheeler & Wilson, there
fore take it for granted that they could not do
it.
Now let the other machines stand back and let
the only Perfect Family Sewing machine have
its proper place; and that place is first over all.
now invite the public to come and examine tie

THE STATE LuNAT1c AsY1uM.-We
print ON article from the Columbia Puos-
NIX, to which brief reference has al
ready been madej containing statement
OF 1hcts IN connection with the terrible
abuses said to exist iu the management
OF the State Lunatio Asylum-an insti-
tuition in which the people nave taken a
deep interest, and whose philan thropic
purposes commend it to the care and re.
gard OF the public. It is not doubted
that DIR. Ensor is doing the best he can
with the material at bis command; but
the brutal tyranny of tho negro Harris.
as described by the PHOENIX, is an ont
rage upon decency and propriety.
Governor Scott seems inclined to sup
port such measures as will increase the
efficiency of the institution and insure
the comfort and well-being of its in,
mates, and we trust the General Assem-
bly Will require that the existing condi.
tion OF affairs be thoroughly investigat-
ed' with the object OF protecting the un-
loTtunates who cannot care for them
serves and are, as it were, the wards of
Tue state. II the colored lunatics prefer
10 nave coiored keeper, we have no
against the practice Of submitting white
men aud white women to the On nric;ons
lnsoience and constant ill-treatment of n
cruel and malignant negro.
r., Harris is. we believe, the Secretary and
treasurer of the Asylum, as we'll as tho
head attendant, and to keep him in a
position for which he is, by nature aud
temper, wholly unfit, is only to prove
that it is determined to make use of the
helpless and the afflicted as u means of
rewarding tho hangers-on of a political
party. The man Harris was appointed.
we presume, because ho is negro radi-
Cal, and Tor that reason alone can Le he

The NEW ERA.-At recent meeting
OF revenue reformers in New York city,
In which Democrats aud Republicans
participated, the Hon. james Brooks, q
democratic member of Congress from
New York, and member of the Com
mittee OF Ways and Means, was called
ont. We find the following brief report
OF his remarks: "Mr. Brooks thanked
them Tor the compliment. If it had
been earlier in the evening, and not for
oidden to tell tales out Of school, he
could tell tales of that Committee. hnt
he thought that after tho 4th of March
next. that Committee would consist OF
new members. No one could form an
opinion of the immense influence exert.
cd by lobbyists on that COMMITTEES; but
q new era was dawning in the West. and
he thong ht it would spread all over the
country in time"

IMMIGRANTS TO SOUTHERN PoRTs. The
St. Louis (Mo.) Democrat says:

IMMIGRANTS TO SOUTHERN PoRTs The
st. Louis (Mo.) Democrat says:
1t is stated that arrangements are being
made for the establishment of q line Of
emigrant vessels between Denmark, Swe-
den and Norway, and one of the South
ern cities. The idea is an excellent one.
The Ubiquitous system of exacting q two
dollars and half per capita tax upon
emigrants exists only in New York, and
the authorities who have imposed it sh ow
no disposition to remit it. The sooner,
then, that some other port of entry is
discovered, the better it will be for the
emigrant and tho country at large. OF
all the accessions to our working force,
both as common laborers and skilled
.workmen, the Swedes and Norwegians
are pronounced by employers to be the
best. The men are temperate, frugal
and industrious, and with their families
rapidly develope into thrifty farms and
tidy villages tho country where their CO.
ionies locate. 1t is particularly impor-
t"nt that these emigrants be we'll re-
ceived, that they may persuade their
neighbors in the futherland to follow
them to the new country. The lines of
railroads lending from each of the South
ern cities now form numerous connec.
tions with the West and North west, and
make those ports rs easy of access az
New York or Boston.
1t is to be hoped that this limo will soon
be successfully established, and that
others connecting with Germany, France,
England and Ireland will quickly follow
in its wake.
fortunes have been made in the emi-
grant transporting trade, which is more
lucrative aud less troublesome than the
carrying OF frst-class passengers, aud
other fortunes, it is fair to presume, may
yet be made oni If it. Sufficient capital
judiciously in the enterprise
would undoubtedly yield largo per
cent. upon the investment. The very
fact that shippers would be able to send
emigrants $3.50 her head cheaper to
Southern ports than to New York would
give them in short time the bulk of the
travel. This is subject in which the
managers of the railroads leading South
are particularly interested, and they, as
well as capitalists South and West, would
do we'll TO agitate the matter.
