had the opportunity of examining the
model of a new agricultural imple-
ment.ust invented by a citizen Of
Sampson county, and which seems TO
possess decided advantages over any
machinery yet contrived Tor the cul-
tivation of cotton. 1t consists Of a
sort of double sweep. SO contrlved as
to scrape the cotton bed thoroughly
on both sides of the young cotton
and at the same time, by means Of an
ingenious contrivance. the cotton is
chopped out with as much regularity
as it could be done with hoe The
machine is.quite light, weighing little
more than an ordinary pow, and
resting upon two wheels, the depth
is nice y adjusted, anil it Can BE- drawn
with ease by any one horse.

crowd to see what tine demonstration

chokers that it was a delegation from the

improvised in the East ROOM The Presi-
dent, sustained by staff Of the sleekest
looking men ever sdw, slouched into the
room, and tall, solemn son of Christian
lied Africa stepped forward and addressed
his Excellency. The colored brother was
filled with thankfulness. He thanked
God for everything, but especially for our
Chief Magistrate. The pious delegation
evidently thought our excellent President
precious boon-.-a special Providence, as
it were His Exce!ency has imprinted
on bis intellectual countenance perpetu-
al expression of bore. On this 90 aston it
deepened into one intense bore, and, with
his heavy deal eyes fixed on the speaker,
lie seemed to be gazing through and far
beyond intoa dim distance, where unknown
Cabinet officers may be found. He was
too full for utterancc, at least nothing
could be understood, although I have no
question but handsome response will be
gotten up and printed to morrow. As we
came out heard one white choker say to

bound in humble thankfulness, and l said,
