We copy the following from the New
York Herald Of August 18th:
THE REGION OF THE SEWING MACHINES.
II Dante had been gifted with the
spirit of prophecy he would have set
apart region in his inferno to illus
trate the rivalries and emotions of the
sewing machine manufacturers of the
United States. The conflicts, the mis-
understandings, the ambitions, the
yearnings for appreciation andshotoriety,
the odd, incessant efforts to win medals
Of progress and renown and merit and
honor, which inspire the gentlemen who
manage this industry, have given con-
slant motion and life to the American
department. So when His Majesty
came into the sewing machine de-
partment every effort was made by
our Commissioners to introduce him
to each special machine and ex-
plain its peculiar qualities Let me
give you list of the machines
in the catalogue, so you may know what
His Majesty was asked to do. First, the
Howe Machine Company, New York
then the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, New York; the Whitney Sewing
Machine, Paterson, N. j.; the Wheeler
& Wilson Sewing Machine Company,
New York; the Wilson Sewing Machine
Company, Cleveland, Ohio; the Wilcox
& Gibbs Sewing Machine Manufacturing
Company, New York; Ezra Morrill, &
Co., Derby Line, VT George N. Bacon
& Co., London, England; the Weed
Sewing Machine Company, Hartford,
with the patent effective step motion of
Fairchilds' attachment; the Secor Sew
ing Machine Company, New York; the
Mackay Sole and Shoe Machine, Cam
bridge; the Universal Feed Sewing Ma
chine Company. Every exhibitor ex-
pected special visit from the Emperor,
and His Majesty, with a patience and
courtesy that should be commended, en-
deayored to visit them all.
After waiting a few minutes to COM
prehend the explanations made to him
of the advance of the industry so largely
represented in America, the Emperor
continued his tour Of the other depart
ments, especially inquiring of his at
tendants what different principles were
presented by each separate machine, in
what respect one machine differed from
the other-all of which was explained
TO him, ESPECIALLY THE NEW
PRINCIPLE OF THE PATENT STOP,
OR THE APPLICATION INVENTED
BY MR.. FAIRCHILD, AND NOW
OWNED BY THE WEED MACHINE
CO., BY WHICH THE ACTION OF
THE NEEDLE is ARRESTED BY
THE PRESSURE OF A SPRING
WITHOUT STOPPING THE MOTION

The Confederate Dead.

The South Carolinia,, In speaking OF
the beautiful and enthusiastic celebration
of Memorial Day i'll Columbia on Satur-
day last, concludes thus:
AS appropriate to the subject, We have
culled the following extract from the
beautiful address of Mr.. John E. Bacon,
delivered before the two Literary SOeie-
ties of the State University in June last.
"Twenty miles on the Via Appia,
where tho wheels Of the TriamphA Car
cut deepest the imperial way, are the
twin t,tnaNt Of the immortal Romans
the Horatii and Curatii. Storied urn and
animated bust mark not the spot, but
within those green mounds rest the bones
Of heroes whose deeds have stirred the
blood of ages. So sleep within their
quiet graves, with cross and garland DER
their green turf, and their grand chill
dren's love for epitaph, the mighty host
of martyred Confederate dead At the
dim sausst hour, when thOnghts OF loved
ones come sweetest o'er the soul and the
Ace Mario is stealing freshest DER the
heart, the village maiden strews flowers
OH their graves, and the rustic tear hal
lows their last sad resting place with tho
refreshing dew Of sorrowing affection.
Aud after all, when the mockery Of
earthly grandeur shall have faded, and
the proudest of the worlds pageants shall
have crumbled, genius cannot conapo "a
to their memory purer panegyric, nor
art erect to their virtue a. nobler monu-
ment Of them, naught now remains
save that which is robed fsr the eternal
rest, reposing on beds of glory, clad in
tue robes of Immortality. Pilgrims may
not throng their tombs; marble may not
he worn by the knees of their devotees
but their patience in suffering, their for
titude in adversely, and their heroism III
death, will be the boast OF freemen in all
ages and in all cliines, the love and affec-
ton of their own native lagd, and the
pride and admiration Of the civilized
world"
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1873-05-15

To the Editor Of the Edgedcld -dduerttscr
In your last paper, John II. McDevitt
undertakes toreply to my charges against
h;ln, Ly bringing some against me.
Whether this is the way an innocent and
honest man proves and maintains his
character, leave to the public to decide.
In regard to the charge aboutthe check,
I dare him to prove it, as have dared
him before to prove any charge which he
has made. I have said, and I now again
repeat, that 10 respectable white or col
ored man would believe McDevitt on his
onth.,
In regard to my opposition to the bill
to appoint Committee toinvestigate the
intip1t1tirro-~ ~ -.i-- e',---- ir.-- ~,a--,--a
in the Senate by Senator Cain, Twill say
that did oppose it, not because 1 was
against the investigation, but for the rea-
son that tho proposed Committee was to
be composed OF Messrs. Laurence Cain,
Paris Simkins and Elisha Harris, who,
