The Flying Machine. We have already announced the arrival at Boston of Mr. Petin, whose invention has caused so much excitement in Paris and England; and for the gratification of the scientific and curious, we annex some account of “the machine,” which we find in one of the pamphlets relating to the same : The principle is in creating inclined planes in the air at pleasure. According to M. Petin, the power of regulating aerial lo comotion lies in such a force as will propel the apparatus, not up and down in a per pendicular line, but along the slope of a "broken line, more or less horrizontal, form ing a success of inclined planes. A cock boat on a rolling sea, sliding forward along the inclined planes formed by the waves, may give a notion of the Petinian aerial lo- . comotive system. To form an idea of the stupendous ma chine employed by M. Petin, imagine it suspended by ropes from three huge silk balloons, 22 metres in diameter and 26 metres in height, the ascensional powers of these balloons is 15,000 kilograms. The body of the machine is of slender timber irork, 54 metres in length 1 in breadth and 2 in height. Look above and survey it:— The open frame work, of elongated form, presents, at first sight, in its upper part, fore and aft, seven parallel cross bars or rails. The rails support, on the right and on the left hand side, eight movable hori zontal flaps or sails, four ahead and four as tern, so disposed as to form according to the direction in which they are moved, either a culminating roof or parachute, or an inverted or parascensional roof. On the bows of the ship are two screw- propellers or helixes, likewise supported by one of the cross bars, and moved by means of two small steam engines, of three horse power each. Lastly supportedjby two masts placed, the one horizontally ahead, the other vertically ahead, are two square or triangular sails ; two more sails were also placed on the sides of the balloons. Accor dingly; the entire apparatus, or the Petin ■hip, forms a symmetrical whole, divided into seven principal parts, viz: A centre of gravity, where the boilers are placed. The lateral paits, composed of two movable flaps or sails, intended to serve as surfaces of support to find resistance either on the upper or on the lower strain of air; or to serve as a counterpoise, as a power to break the equipoise round the centre of the support, displacing the ship and determi ning her motions along a more or less hori zontally inclined plane. Two screw-wheels auxiliary moving pow r ers propelling the ship, transmitting a power of tsaction, eith er to progress horizontally or to ascend or descend. Sails, to improve the power of the wind, or to tack. Such are the forces used by M. Petin, and by these the various movements, horizontal, perpendicular and lateral, are regulated. The ascending and descending movements are regulated as follows : The two horizontal screw-wheels, set in motion with great velocity, (350 revolu tions in a minute,) screw themselves into the air and drive back a current on the flaps maintained abaft in an oblique direc tion. These flaps presenting resistance, de compose the force of the air, horizontally driven against them by the screw wheels, into a force of perpendicular pression down wards or upwards, according as the flaps receive this steam of concentrated air in one direction or another. These pressions cause the ship to ascend or descend, or compel it as a perpendicular course. Mr. Webster's Reception in Mew- York. —The Hon. Daniel Webster^ since his ar rival in New York, has received every mark of popular respect and esteem. The Ex press sa s; “On Sunday evening, at the street church when Mr. Webster entered, the whole au dience rose to their feet, and, as he left, lingered around him, and, as many as could taking him by the hand until he took his seat in his carriage. His reception at Ni- blo’s, on Monday night, was proof positive enough of the respect and admiration in which his abilities and services were held by all who gazed upon him. Cheers fol lowed cheers, the men applauding with voices and hands, and hundreds of ladies waving the hankerchiefs as he entered the theatre,” On Tuesday he was cordially received at the City Hall, by Mayor Kings land and the Councils and a large number of leading citizens. When the doors were thrown open several hundred persons crowded in, among them several ladies. Mayor Kingsland addressed Mr. Webster at considerable length, refering in terms of the warmest approval to his public service and bidding him a hearty welcome to the eity of New York, to which Mr. Webster responded brieflyjand eloquently. He was then introduced to the multitude, and the ceremony of shaking hands continued for more than an hour, upwards of six thous - and citizens availing themselves of an in- iuj»io i tj Ali-i YVebster. Court Week.—Our Superior Court com mences at this place on Monday next, and we are under the impression that a great many of our patrons, who reside in Wash ington, will come prepared to settle what ever amounts they are due this office. It is a matter of some importance to us that they should do so, and we shall abide the impression in full confidence of their prompt ness in the premises. Our advertising friends as well as subscribers, who have not paid their accounts, will please note this fact, and act accordingly. Those who wish to pay for their paper at the advance price, will likewise remember that this is the last op portunity that they will have of doingso. It is well to remark in this connection that we have “expelled a few for non-payment of dues,” and have others on trial; “if no satis factory excuse is given,” we shall have to deal with them likewise. If any such subscriber should fail to get his paper, don’t blame the mail about it— you are in fault. New Goods.—Did any body say that they wanted to buy New Spring Goods ? If so, see the advertisement of N. W. Haines & Bro., and Mr. Slager, and give them a call They are receiving their assortments. The Messrs. Haines have a fine run of custom, and are justly popular in the mer cantile line; they are always on hand with new Goods, and the obliging Junior is ever ready to attend the calls of customers and friends. Friend Lazaron will be back this week and the customers of Lazaron & Newman, will find their Store enriched by the varieties of a Philadelphia market. No one knows better how to select Goods than Mr. Laza ron. He is a man of taste—though a bach elor. Mr. Clay.—From the last accounts, this distinguished gentleman’s health was con siderably improved, and hopes were enter tained that he would soon be able to re sume his seat in the Senate. Should his health be restored, it will be a matter of general congratulation to the country, with whose destiny he has been so long and for tunately connected. Death of William B. Bulloch.—It is with the deepest sorrow, says the Savannah Republican of the 6th instant, that we ar- nounce the death, in this city, at a quarter past one o’clock this afternoon, of the Hon. William B. Bulloch, in his 77th year. For some two years past, his health had been failing, but it was not until recently that his friends became apprehensive for his safety. He died of no particular disease, that we are informed of, bnt passed gently away, like the lamp, whose oil has been exhaust ed ; or like the aged oak that falls in the stillness of noonday, when there is no wind abroad, so passed he to his fathers. Protest of the Cass Delegates,—In the Pennsylvania Democratic Convention, assembled at Harrisburgh, after the adop tion of a resolution by the Buchanan ma jority that the Chairman appoint a com mittee to select a delegation to the Nation al Convention, subject to the approval of the Convention, the Cass men drew up and presented a protest against the resolution as a wanton disfranchisement of the Congress ional districts which they in whole or part represented. They further denounced it as a flagrant usurpation of power, as a des perate alternative of a tyrannical majority to silence a large minority in the Conven tion, and as a trampling underfoot of an usuage sanctioned by the action of the Dem- ocratic party in its Conventions for the last 17 years. The protest, after an exciting debate, was admitted on the Journal. Affairs at San Juan—More Trouble with the Mosquitos.—The New York Times is informed by a correspondent st San Juan, that the American residents at that place, held a meeting on the 24th ult., and resolved not to pay the taxes impos ed upon them by the^ British Consul, as agent for the Mosquito King. They then waited upon the commander of the U. S. sloop-of-war, laying in the harbor, and ask ed protection in the event of force being used by the British authorities to secure the payment. Receiving a satisfactory reply, they informed Her Majesty’s Consul of their determination to resist future collection of the tribute. In reply he threatened com pulsory measures, and left at once for Blue- fields, the residence of his Mosquito Majes ty. If this is a true statement of the case, there seems to be more trouble brewing in that quarter of the Isthmus. Tuere is a secret organization of Americans existing at San Juan, termed “Gallinippers,” who are said to exert considerable influence there. AST The New Orleans Prices Current of the 10th inst,, makes the total receipt of cotton at all of the Southern ports, amount to 249,000 bales ahead of last year. Heavy Bains, Crops, &c. We had quite a heavy fall of rain at this place on Sunday, which from the indica tions of the clouds extended pretty gener ally through the country. The week has been warm and cloudy'with an occasional fall of light showers, the morning of yester day was a degree or so cooler than the days previous. The Spring so far, is forward, and for the past two weeks has been propitious to the growth of vegetation, which is put ting forth with much -rapidity. Gardens hereabouts are begining to exhibit a fine appearance, and’some few vegetables may be had of them, our whilom associate, who is something of an horticulturist, boasts of raddishes and lattuoe; other garden? in the village are quite, if not more promis ing than his. Maj. Brantley has one that will bear comparison with any in the coun try. The Wheat is small but has a promising appearance, and barring the accidents of wind and weather, a good^crop may be ex pected. Our farmer? are busily engaged in planting corn, many have finished, and many others will do so this week, a few who are behind in their preparations will be something later. So far, it has been a good time for planting, and the ground has been in fine condition, with anything like a reasonable chance, the labors of re-planting will not be very great. We are glad to learn from different sections of the county, that our farmers are wisely appropriating the lessons of the past two years, and are pitching liberal corn crops. With favorable seasons “we predict a fine yield ’of provis ions in Washington. We hope that our neighboring counties may place themselves in the same category. The Hon. Mr. Smith of Alabama, has is sued a printed circular asking all his fellow members of Congress the particulars of their boy-hood, life, profession, prospect, <kc.— the object being he says, to have a work which will teach the young gentlemen of the day three hundred living arguments how to get up in the world! Such a sketch would be very interesting, but as to teach- ing young gentlemen, how to get up in the world, that depends upon the way these these congressmen got up. Some of them may have got up in a way that ought to have taken them to the gallows instead of to Congress.—Sav. Rep. Extraordinary Feat. — On Monday evening the 1st inst., at eight o’clock, the great feat of walking sixty consecutive hours without sleep or rest was accomplished by Captain Tompkins, at the White Hall, on St. Louis street, New Orleans. Vast crowds assembled to witness the conclusion of the performance. The trial was instituted by the Medical Faculty to test the full extent of Nature’s endurance. For this feat, which has never before been accomplished, Capt. Tompkins was awarded the sum of $5,000 ! So says the New Orleans Daily Times. Perpetual Motion at Last.—The Ro chester Democrat says that, after years of mathematical labor and mechanical results, Professor Willis, of that city, has comple ted and has now in constant operation a self-winding clock, which determines the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years, of time with unfailing accuracy, Continuing in constant motion by itself, never requiring to be wound up, nev er running down, but moving perpetually so long as its components exist. This is about the tenth thousandth time that perpetual motion hes been discovered, but some how or another the machines always run down. What’s in the Wind ?—Almost all of our Georgia exchanges are noticing the ap pointment of a batch of Aids to his Excel lency the Governor. Is there any military exploit on foot ? If there is, a few had bet ter be saved for the file. Towns came near exhausting the line by promotion, and Cobb bids fair to complete the work. 33T At the recent conferences of church es in Groton, Mass., the identical Bible used by John Rodgers, the martyr, and carried by him to the stake—some of the leaves of which bear the marks of the flames—was brought to the conference by the descend ant of the martyr. Possibly it js true. Willis vs. Forrest.—The action for as sault and battery, which has been pending for some time in the New York Courts, was tried the past week, and a verdict was rend ered iu favor of Willis for $2500 damages. New York jaries know how to deal with Forrest. Chevelier Wycofr Foufd Guilty.— Henry Wycoff has keen tried at Genoa and found guilty of a daring attempt to extort a promise of marriage from Miss Gamble, as was also her Courier, Louis Vannaud.— They were sentenced to fifteen months im prisonment. The dog population of the United States is estimated at about 2,000,000, and the expense of keeping them, at upwards of $10,000,000 per annum. This is a pret ty round sum to pay for The Webster Meeting. The demonstration which was. advertised for the fourth inst., is spoken of very dis- paragentlv by many of the New York prints, and the candid of all sides admit that it did not meet the anticipations of the friends of Mr. Webster, the meeting is put down at about 2,500 people. The monied and commercial interest of the city are said to have been pretty well represented. The following are the resolutions, which were offered by Mr. Grinnell and passed by the meeting. The act of nomination was loud ly cheered, and three cheers given for Mr. Webster. Resolved That this meeting reposes un limited confidence in the talents, the integ rity and patriotism of Daniel Webster, whose great services to the country as the defender ofthe Constitution and the .prin ciples upon which it is based—the zealous advocate of the Rights of the People and of Constitutional Liberty—have justly en titled him to the gratitude and affection of every American. As Whigs, we honor him as the able and fearless exponent of our principles; and as Americans, we glorv in his well-earned fame as a Patriot and a Statesman, whose life has been devoted to the maintenance of Republican principles and Constitutional Law ; and we desire to present his name to the Whig National Convention as a candidate for President of the United States at the ap proaching election. His nomination would gladden the hearts of the friends of the Constitution and the country, in every sec tion of our widely extended Republic, and Patriotism, National pride, and a feeling of self-respect, would combine to insure his election—thus securing to our country the triumph of Whig Principles, and to the cause of Republicanism throughout the world, the incalculable advantage of de monstrating the capacity of the people for self-government, by proving their discrimi nation and judgment, by vindicating their capacity to appreciate exalted talent, and by exhibiting their gratitude for great pub lic services, and their readiness to reward a public benefactor. Therefore, Resolved, That this meeting do unani mously nominate DANIEL WEBSTER as a Candidate for President of the United States at the next election, subject to the approval of the Whig National Conven tion. Literary Notice*. American Whig Review.—We have on our table the March No. of this book.— It contains a variety of interesting articles, and has a portrait of the Hon.

Rob’t. Toombs has been West Point Visitors.—The Baltimore Clipper states that the appointment of Ca dets and visitors to West Point, will be an nounced shortly. According to usage, the appointment of visitors are made alternate ly among the States, so that none of the States represented in the Board last year, will be entitled to be represented this year. For the ten appointments of Cadetsat large, in the gift of the President, which have usually been distributed among the sons of deceased officers who distinguished them selves in the Army or Navy, there are no less than fifteen hundred applications, or about one hundred and fifty candidates to each place. Fortunes Unclaimed.—A committee of the New York Legislature, after an inves tigation into the trust funds of the Chance ry Court, have reported that there is near ly a million and a half of dollars now held in trust; and that the rightful owners of nearly a million of this large sum are un known. Whose kin were in litigation there ? Is there none to speak ? What are th’e New York attornies about ? Row in the N. Y. Legislature —There was a considerable row in the New York Legislature a short while since, in conse quence of the attempt to oust a Mr. Snow, whig, of his seat in the House of Assembly, by his political opponents offering a resolu tion that he was v not entitled to his seat> having but an accidental majority. The following is a statement of the facts : “The Whigs would not put up with this dishonorable game, and were compelled to resort to parliamentary remedies to prevent it. And the entire day, until a late hour in the evening, was consumed in scenes of confusion, disgraceful to the Legislature, to the State, and to those by whose agency they were produced. It was a prolonged riot, (says an eye witness,) and the exam ple of the House spreading to the lobbies, disorder and violence reigned there. The police had to be called in,andsome arrests were made. One member, with two or three outside assistants, succeeded in reach ing the basement and cutting off the gas, so as to throw the House in darkness.— Caught in the act, he pleaded the privilege of membership to protect him from arrest! Comparative order was restored only by the closing of the doors and call of the House, and the affair ended in a decision which excludes both contestants, anc. m conduct that would seem to justify the ex clusion of half the other members.” A3T Mr. Weed writes from Genoa, that as the portrait of Columbus was destroyed in the recent conflagration in the Library at Washington the American Consul at Genoa is endeavoring to obtain a copy of the only orignal in existence, which belongs to a family in that city. JEST The Pennsylvanian calls the pre sent Temperance and Anti-temperance is sue, a war between the Maine toes and Cog- niacs. They had the heaviest snow storm of the season, in New York, on the 4th instant. detained from his seat in the House, by a severe attack of inflamatory rheumatism. Savannah Georgian.—Dr Jos. Ganah has bought an interest in this paper, and is associated in its editorial management. It is now published by Punch, Hilton & Ganahl Our best wishes for the success of the new fiyn. %3T A Jeffersonian Club has been or- ganized in New Orleans, for the purpose of promoting the election of Gen. Cass to the Presidency. Mr. Film ore and the N. York Whigs. —At the meeting of the Young Men’s Whig Committee of New York City, there was considerable wrangling among the friends of Webster, Scott and Fillmore.— They succeeded however, in a resolution in favor of Mr. Fillmore, by a majority of two. . AST A convention of the Democratic party of Louisiana met at Baton Rousre on the 9th inst., and declared in favor of Gen. Cass as their choice for the Presidency. New Songstress.—The Northampton (Mass.) Gazette, says that the Sweedish Nightingale, the Swan of Erin, the English Linnet, and the Black Swan, are all to be over shadowed by the ‘Wild Owl,’ an Indi an songstress of the Ottawa tri be in Michi gan. AST' The Democratic candidate has been elected Governor of New Hampshire. Gov. Cobb in Washington.—We clip the following paragraph from the Washing ton Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun ; Govenor Cobb, arrived here yesterday from Milledgeville, Georgia, and has been waited upon by crowds of his old friends. He took lodgings at Brown’s hotel, and looks the very picture of a man who has done his duty and feels conscious of his rectitude. Gov. Cobb will play a most important part in the next presidential election, alike hon orable to him, and beneficial to the national democratic party, which will again become a unit through his agency and support. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. Advance in Cotton. New-York. March 12, P. M. The British steamship Asia has arrived, bringing Liverpool dates to to the 28th ult., four days later than those brought by the Arctic. Liverpool Cotton Market, &c. In the Liverpool market for the week, the sales of Cotton reached 54,000 bales. The demand was good, and prices had advanced one eight (l-8d.) of a penny. The good qualities had improved most. Western Canal Flour is quoted at 22 shillings and 6 pence. Yellow Corn at 29s. to 29s. and 6d. White, at 32 shillings. No American steamer had arrived at Liv erpool since the departure of the Arctic. France. Since the departure of the steamer Arc tic, the relations between France and Aus tria are less friendly. France has protested against the increase of duties on French goods in Austria. England. Earl Derby gave a short programme of the principles that are to govern the new Ministry, in which he repudiates the fran chise measures of Lord John Russell. He also unreservedly expressed a preference for the principles of the American tariff rather than the free trade system of Sir Robert Peel. The explanations of the Premier were well received on Change. Liverpool Market, 28th, P. M. At nor.n of the 2’8th, the day of the sail ing of the Asia, the Liverpool Cotton mar ket was firm, and the sales up to that period of the day were about 6,000 bales. North Carolina.—At a meeting of the Whigs of Wayne county, N. C., held on the 17th ult., the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That as Whigs, belonging to the great conservative party of the country, we entertain an abiding devotion to the Union, the Constitution, and its compro mises. and regard the series of measures passed by Congress to settle the questions arising out of our territorial acquisition, as a settlement in principle and substance of the dangerous and exciting subjects which they embrace. Resolved, That-in Millard Fillmore we behold the honest man, the enlightened statesman, the faithful Executive who has the moral courage to adhere to the Consti tution, despite the opposition of fanatical factions, and a patriotism sufficiently broad to embrace every section, and that he is therefore our first choice for the Presidency of the United States. Resolved, That the Hon. William A. Graham has our warmest recommendation, as the Whig candidate for the Vice Presi dency, since in him we recognise a man. enlightened, firm, faithful, patriotic and true, who never hesitates to denounce the wrong, nor to battle in the cause of right. ([FROM THE 80IL OF THE SOUTH 1 Work for the Mouth-Prepara. tion for Cotton Planting. It is very universally conceded fact, founded upon long practice and experience that Cotton grows and matures best upon soft, deep soils. We know that this , re quisition may not suffice to meet , all the wants of this plant; that the character of the soil, in its consistency, may be all that our rule might require, and yet there might be an absence of some of the essential in gredients necessary to its health, and vigu- rous growth and maturity. Yet this is all good and necessary as far as it gees. We propose not now to discuss or even investi gate these points, but to settle what may bo proper to be done, in the way of good pre parations for the planting of the crop, so- as to secure the largest yield from the soil as we may find it. Following the teachings, of nature and the endorsements of experi ence, we shail advise that by artificial means in our preparations, we assimilate as nearly as possible, that that character or condition of the soil which is known to be best for this crop. We advise, therefore, that lands which are stiff by nature, and which have a close, tenacious clay -beneath, should be prepared by a close and very deep plowing. Avery common, but we think a very erroneous, notion prevails, that deep preparations are not needed for cotton. We have often heard the argu ment that the tap root must reach the hard earth before the plant would begin to grow. An examination of the plant, show ing how largely it relies upon the tap root to what depth it shoots down into the earth added to the fact, that soft, loose soils are peculiarly suited to its production, must demonstrate beyond question, that all such conclusions are not only unreasonable, but must be wrong. We shall insist, therefore, that the pre parations for cotton be very deep and thor ough. The usual method, and perhaps generally the best, is to prepare the land by throwing into beds with some turning plow. It is now, in our estimation, too late in the season to do very deep work with this plow, that being a work which can on ly be safely done, without injury tothe soil, (with the exposures of our Southern cli mate) in the tall and winter. These pre parations which remain now to be made must therefore be done by some plow which may reach deeper to the surface, an opper- ation which we thiuk might be accomplish ed successfully by the u e of a sub soil plow in the formation of the bed, in con nection with some turning plow, not run ning so deep as to be objectionable. The plan which we propose is, to lay off the row with a common scooter or shovel, run the sub-soil plow once in that furrow, breaking to such a depth as may be judged best, or as may be conveniently done with one good mule, then throw a furrow with the turning plow on each side, and in the bottom of each of these side furrows, run the sub-soil plow. Then all the middle of the bed im mediately under the roots of the Cotton, would be broken and pulverized to such depth as would admit the roots easiijWo penetrate, permit the entrance of the warm ing rays of the sun, aud a healthful, need ful absorption of the gases of the atmos phere. In the event of excessive rains, the water is soon absorbed, and settled so far below the roots of the young plants as to prevent all damage. This operation pre sents to our mind but the single objection of being tedious, and if the benefits are what we anticipate, that objection is lost in the ample compensation for extra lebor. We do not intend to be responsible in this plan for more than a suggestion, and offer it to our readers for just what tiny may think it is worth. We are, however, show ing our faith by our works, in its adoption on all our lands which are stiffi, or which base a close underlayer pf clay. That the nerfr®"-of some of pur readers may. be qui eted ^fettle, in so much talk about sub-soil plows, we remark, t hat a well constructed old fashioned C'ouua, » ill answer the pur pose pretty well, and we think that all the new inventions and improvements, with painted stocks and patent labels, must trace their common paternity to this rude, back woods, new-ground plow. Do not be frightened therefore at an introduction to an old friend under a new name. We have thus provided for the proper preparation of the middle ofthe bed, before planting in which the main roots of the plant are to grow, and which can never, after planting be reached by the plow. What, therefore, is not now done, must remain. undone to the close of the crop. The defects of pre paration in other portions ofthe bed, lying between the drills, may be corrected and cured by after cultivation. In lands which are flat and wet, we may not by the plow alone give sufficient elevation to the bed. In all cases, we must perfect the work by draw- ing up with the hoes. This is indispensa bly important in all basin lands, unless they are relieved by thorough ditching. The Cotton plant is peculiarly unfitted for an ex cess of water—indeed it has very appropri ately received the application of a dry weather plant. We are very much inclin ed to the opinion, that the developments of time and larger experience will show that the failures of success on many of our soils, will be ascertained to be the presence of too much water, and the cure will be found in more perfect draining, where we have little suspected the existence of these unfriendly influences. We are not, however, the advocates of indiscriminate high bedding, of all soris of lands. Ihe teaching of reason must not be blindly rejected, but allowed in the ex- ercise of a proper discretion, to determine what is right. In lands which are dry and warm, there can be no benefit in more ele vation than what would be necessary for the easy cultivation of the young] Cotton, and inordinary seasons the chances for success in such land would regard to be better ou slightly elevated beds, than on those which are higher. The distance of the rows must he settled
