~ New Invention in Printing. —The New York
Sun notices anew invention for the manufacture o
printing types, which has been but partially tested
thus far:
The operation of the improvement is as follows:
—A set of steel punches are made, corresponding
with the alphabetic letters, figures and points now in
use, which, when struck on copper, leave a raised
impression, instead of intuglio, or sunken—being
exactly the reverse of the present mode. Now, for
instance, by striking the punch S, upon a smooth
piece of copper, and then U, and then N, the word j
SUN is produced upon the copper plate in relief, or
raised, and impressions may be printed therefrom.
A sheet of copper one-eighth of an inch in thick
ness, and as wide, we will say, as one of our columns,
and as long, is prepared with its surfaces perfectly
polished and flat. It is introduced into a machine
having a series of keys answering to the alphabet,
arranged somewhat like a piano. The machinery
of the instrument is so arranged, that by pressing
one of these keys, a letter of the alphabet is pro
duced, in relief, from the copper-plate; and, on an
other key being pressed, another letter is produced
adjoining the first letter, and on a true line with it,
and so on, until a line of letter extending across the
breadth of the copper plate has been made. The
machine is so arranged, that as fast as one line of
letters is made, the copper plate is moved a notch,
and another line follows, struck by the keys, letter
by letter, as before, and so on, until a whole column
of letter is produced, or until the sheet of copper is,
as it were, converted into a stereotype plate, ready
for printing.
Another advantage of this invention is, that much
of the cumbersome machinery for printing can be
done away with, for the copper stereotype can be
bent and secured upon cylinders, and impressions
taken therefrom at a very rapid rate, with but little
expense. A more full description of this invention
cannot be made public until the fereign patents are
secured. A thorough test of one of the machines
will be made as soon as it can be perfected, w hen
the prominent editors and printers will be invited to
be present.
Milcii Cows. —It is known to many farmers that
when young cows first come in, when the calves are
taken away, they will hold up their milk for a short
time, and some will almost dry themselves before
they will give it down. A few years ago I bought a
young cow, which proved to be very wild, and when
I took away her first calf, she would not give down
her milk. I had heard it remarked, that putting a
weight on the cow’s back would make her give her
milk down. I accordingly drove her into the stable,
and put a bushel of grain on her back ; but not be
ing heavy enough, I took it oft* and put my elbows
in the center of her back and bore on till she hol
lowed in her back!
W bile she was kept in this position, she had no
power to hold up her milk ; for it came down as free
ly. After doing this a few times, and afterward put
ting my hand on the back of the co v, it would give
way and she would immediately give down her
milk. —American Agriculturist.
A writer in the Georgetown Baptist Herald says;
‘A preacher, not one hundred miles from here, while
standing, as he thought for the ‘ancient order of
things,’ by ridiculing the doctrine of a call to the
ministry, as proof that there is no such call, observ
ed that he never believed he was called to preach.’—
‘And nobody else ever believed it!’ said au acquaint
ance standing by.
4 Father, did you ever have another wife, besides
mother ?’
‘No, my boy, what possessed you to ask such a
question V
‘Because I saw in the family Bible where you mar
ried Anne Domini in 1835, and that isn’t mother,
for her name was Sally Smith., (Exit boy. with a su
gar plum.)
A Scotch Auditory. —Such was their devotion to
name and to ‘known bodies’ in bonny Dundee, that
when a stranger made his debut, and some unthink
ing Sawney was beginning to applaud him, his friend
caught his arm and exclaimed, ‘Hoot, mon ! what
are you about ? Bide a wee bit; nobody kens wha
he is’
‘Gravity,’ says Rochefoucauld, is a mystery of the
body, invented to conceal the defects of the under
standing.
A housemaid, who was sent to call a gentleman to
dinner, found him engaged in using his tooth brush!
‘Well, is he coming V said the lady of the house,
as the servant returned.
‘Yes, m’am directly,’ was the reply, ‘he’s just shar
pening his teeth.’
The last good thing said on the charms of the
ballet, is the following:
‘A cotemporary says that the dancing women
wear their dresses at half-mast, as a token of respect
for departed modesty.’
A Spanish proverb says : ‘A kiss without a mou
stache is an egg without salt. What wicked people
they must be in Spain!
A correspondent from Charleston, writing to the
editor of the Richmond Whig, says ; ‘I have just
had a conversation with Jenny Lind, and she has de
termined to drop the name of Swedish Nightingale.
She says, that after her late trip from Wilmington
to Charleston, she docs not desire to be a night in
gale again.’
A Shower of Compliments. —‘How fortunate I
sun in meeting a rain beau in this storm,’ said a
young lady who was caught in a shower the other
day to her beau of promise who happened along
with an umbrella.
‘And I,’ said be, gallantly, ‘am as much rejoiced
as the poor Laplander when ho has caught a rain
dear.’
The native African calls thunder ‘the sky’s gun;’
morning ‘the day’s child.’ One who had seen ice,
said ‘it was water fast asleep,’ and the locomotive he
said was a ‘thundermill.’
‘I am like Balaam,’ said a dandy, on meeting a
pretty girl in a passage, ‘stopped by an angel.’—
‘And I am like the angel,’ said she stopped by an
ass.’
One es the most amusing specimens of politeness
we ever remember to have heard, was the reply of
Gem Schuyler to General Burgoyne shortly after the
surrender of the latter to Gen. Gates. Meeting him
at a dinner party at the table of Gates, Burgoyne
felt under the necessity of apologizing for the de
struction of his elegant mansion a few days before,
by his orders. ‘Make no excuses, General, 4 was the
reply. ‘I feel more than compensated by the plea
sure of meeting you at this table.’
A hoosier editor furnishes his readers with the fol
lowing interesting intelligence:
‘A girl, who was one of our first loves was one
night lighting us out, after having passed a delight
ful evening, and in a bashful trepidation she blew
us out of , the door, and drew the caudle behind the
door and kissed it.’

MACON, GEORGIA.
FOR a period of over thirteen years, it liaa been the provinceof
the undersigned, to present to the people of Georgia, and the
surrounding states, the results of the use of innocent Vegetable
Medicines, in the treatment and cure ofdisoase,as contradistinguished
from poisonous substances, to which from childhood, they have been
accustomed, and to whose pernicious effects upon the constitution,
many of then! Ate living Witnesses. ,
The success which during this long series of years, has attended
his administrations, has, in many instances, been such, ob to over
come the most inveterate prejudices in favor of the >ld order of things,
and to produce instead thereof, a conviction that ev.m in medicine,as
in other branches of the physical sciences, new ideas may be advanc
ed, and results achieved, that our ancestors would have deemed im
possible, but which our posterity, thanks to the enlightenment of a
coming age, may find easy of accomplishment. , , A
This succedsin curing diseases of the most hopeless character at.er
alolther means had failed,and that too, in many instances, without see
ing the patient , has long been the subject of general remark, exhibiting
as it does, in bold relief the difference between restoring * case that
has been absolutely abandoned., and simply raising another, that hun
dreds of others could cure. .
Such cases can be pointed out in almost every county in Gee eia,
where gome poor, decrcpid, helpless being, after testing every ly al
means without avail have sent oft', as a dernier resort, a deserts on
of their diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds ot mdes,
and received back those health restoring remedies that have restored
them again to health and to society, to their own astonishment and
their neiehlmrs wonder, putting at naught the sneers of antagonistic
interests, and adding new linger posts at every post oflice and cross
roads, pointing the way the city ot retuge.
Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, he would
yet boldly say, that he firmly believes that nine-tenths ot the so called
incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine,and
ean t*e cured by pursuing a proper course of medication, with the ex t
erciseof necessary care and perseverance, on the part ot the patient,
which in all cases of a lingering character, are of the last importance
The great facilities for this kind ot treatment presented in the cheap
postage system, has been taken advantage of by thousands who hap
pily can indirectly attribute their present good health to that noble spe
cimen of liberal government; and there are thousands more who may
reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let
the afflicted if he cannot write himself, get his neighbor to do it for
him. give a history of his case, age, habits, and symptoms, the same
as if talking to a physician. If able and it is convenient, enclose
the fee; if not convenient just then, a due bill for the amount will
answer, (this obviates the inconvenience of making accounts at great
distances.) and if nut aide, pre-pay and mail the letter to his address,
when medicines suitable to the case will bo compounded and sent
with full directions.
The charge for treatment is only ($5) five dollars, monthly, a sunt
sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one, and yet suffi
cient to preserve him from loss in his extensive administrations.
This done, call at the post office in a reasonable time, and receive
your medicines with as much precision as you would a letter; pre
pare and use them as directed, and persevere; report progress month
ly, or oftener, as may be necessary, and closely watch the progress of
the cure.
Having l>een long and extensively engaged in the treatment of dis
eases peculiar to females, he would say that they may avail them
selves of his knowledge, with the Utmost confidence, in his prudence
and integrity, so that in writing out their symptoms, they nmy express
themselves with the necessary freedom. In some of the diseases of
the renal and procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the
charge will be increased.
Such cases as require personal attention, will be treated on libera
terms in the city, where the neccssnry accommodations can always
be had.
Those wishing further information in regard to results, will address
a post-paid letter to the undersig who will immediately mail to
the applicant such documents as iuujl disarm doubt.

ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE
POWER PRESS.
TllEadvantagesof this new POWER PRESS S , and its superiority
over all others, are as follows: *
XLopow.v mu It M.l left -t tO
trie pully, that is, one hundred pdbnns power applied to the Lever
will exert a force -24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of
the bale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may be put as near
the Gin House as is desired. .It is three times as powerful as a screw
oflß inches diameter, that hadDi nine inch pitch of thread witli the
same length of Lever, and of coitvse the horse has to walk hut one
third as far, for the reason that a lever is required hut one-third as long
to do the same work. And further, the l’ress follower descends with
much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when
but little power is required, which shortens the distance travelled by
the horse, in proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at
the start.
This Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, by
using the wheel and axle, andean he so modified as to answer any
purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic
purposes. For Cotton it requires one-fourth less work to build, and
three-fourths less workto raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec
centric wheel is used, it will not be much orcr half the work to build
asascrew. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, May, &.c. itcannot
be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the
crew, audit is certainly the cheapest ever built.
The whole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed $45, which may he had
ofC. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosized to furnish
hem. This sum iscxclusiva of freight and the cost of right to use
the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will be
10 or sls more for the Iron work, but it will materially lessen the
cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will he the cheap
est in the end. Any good Mechanic can construct the Press from the
drawings and specifications which will accompany each right.
1 shall sell a single right at SJO, which sum can be sent by mail at
my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster
ofthe place where the letter is mailed. Each right will be accompa
nied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will
be able to build the Press. Any communications, post-paid, will he
punctually attended to. A. D. BROWN.

This will certify that we witnessed, at the plantation of Mr. Wil
liam Johnson, in this county, the performance of a Cotton Press re
cently invented and patented by Mr. A.D. Brows, of this place, and
can, with confidence,recommend it to the public. Its great power,
convenienceand simplicity of structure, renders it, in our estimation,
eth best that we have seen. It packs downward, which we deem ve
ry essential; can he placed as near the lint room as desired, andean he
easily covered in and made very durable.

CERTIFICATE FROM MR. WILLIAM JOHNSON,
This vill certify, That I built and used one of Mr. A.D. Brown's
Eccentric Progressive Power Presses last year, and am fully satisfied
that it is the best that I have seen. I found no difficulty in building
fiomthe directions fu mi shed by Mr. Brown, and found it much less
work than to build the Screw.
My brother Abram Johnson used the press for his crop, and was so
well pleased with it that he intends building one at his own place for
his next crop. WILLIAM JOHNSON.

Dr. de GRAF PENREID’S
CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT.
IN introducing this medicine to the people ofthe United States, for
sale, the proprietors beg leave to Submit the following statement
of Dr. deGraft'enried, its discoverer and inventor:
The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this medicino
for the last tvVetity-two years, in all forms of Acute and Chronic Rheu
matism, with a success unparalleled in the annals of of medicine; and
he has no hesitation in saying, that it is decidedly the most valuable
remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most painful and dis
tressing malady.
His note-book contains upwards of three hundred cases, in which it
has been used within the above named period, and in no siuglu
instance has it eotne to his knowledge, of its having failed to effect a
cure when persevered in. Many of the cases were from four to ten
years standing; and what may appear yet more remarkable and extra
ordinary, is, that when the patient has been once relieved, the disease
is permanently cured, remains so, not a solitary instance having been
reported to him of its return.
All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, Impartial and patient
trial, for the results lie entertains no apprehension.
Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well studied
the origin, progress and character of this disease, and is well assured
had consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been
translated into the English language, and had used all the remedies o
any notoriety then in vogue, with the profession, with however, very
rarely any relief to poor suffering humanity.
It has hallled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians
and Surgeons of our own, and of every other country. Itut the un
dersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful
disease, when all others have failed, and that lie shall have been an
humble instrument in the hands of God, of relieving the human family
of a vast amount of suffering.

andbed nearlyall the time. In January last, 1 had an attack as violent
if not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about three weeks
on your recommendation I commenced the use of this Liniment.
(With I must confess hut little faith.) Its effects were astonishing
and decidedly beneficial from its first application. In a few days mv
back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved (and so continue) of ail
the soreness and pains, and the swellings reduced, with the use ot
less than one bottle. 1 have been iu the discharge of my ordinary

Dr. de Graffenried — Dear Fir, forthe last twelve years, I have sui
feree very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one
fourth of the time confined to my bed by it. 1 have had the best med
ical aid to be found in various cities in the United States, with little or
no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly recommended
remedies, which have failed to effect a cure. I spent the last summer
at the White Sulphur and Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose
After my return home, I so far recovered, as to be able to walkabout a
little. About six weeks since, I bad a severe attack which again con
fined me to my bed, I was in great pain and scarcely able to move my
limbs, when a friend of mine called and informed me that you had dis
covered an infallible remedy, and had cured many,and amongst them
one of my friends, and showed me a letter from him stating tho fact]
| was induced to try your Rheumatic Liniment, and take pleasure in
informing you that in less than twenty-four hours from the first appli

I am now able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those afflict

your medicine. Wishing you all the blessings you deserve dear sir

Dr. de Graffenried — Dear Fir, I take pleasure in giving you the
particulars of my affliction by, and relief from Rheumatism. “ During
the spring of 1844 I was afflicted with a very severe attack of Inflam
matory Rheumatism. 1 employed all the most celebrated remedies
then known find used in similar cases, aided by medical advice until
September, 1845, witli no satisfactory result whatever. 1 was then
induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try your Liniment, ns some
thing new, and which had cured Dim; and in one month from the
time I commenced the application, I was well, and clear of the Rheu
matism as 1 ever was, and have continued so to tins time.

An Institution combining the science ofthe West Point Academy
and of Polytechnic Institutes, with the classical literature of our best

CIVIL ENGINEERING
Will be thoroughly and practically taught In the Western Military In
stitute—the Professor, Col. Morgan, being one ofthe most skillful and
experienced Engineersin tlie United States. All the instruments con
nected with that department, have been procured at considerable cost
and are of the best quality.
•The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating that he is now ofter
eds7s per month, forcoinpctant assistant Engineers. Oneofliisfoi
titer pupils receives at this time $2,500 per annum, as Principal En
gineer of a Railroad now under construction in Kentucky—whilst
others of tho same class are receiving in diflerent parts ofthe United
States, $2,000, $1,500, or $1,200 a year as Assistant Engineers.
The time is rapidly approaching when there will lie a great demand
for such as have been prepared fiar that vocation, at the Western Mil
itary Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that they will readily
command $1,200 or $1,500 per annum. Every man of observation
must see that the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give birth
to hundreds of others, tributary to them. The rapid advancement o
onr whole country, and the eagerness of our people, for exploring the
hidden resources of the new States and the newly acquired territory,
will give ample scope for ages to coinc, to tlie skill and enterprise of
It he Engineer,the Geologist, the Mineralogist, the Surveyor and tlie

LEOTARD SCOTT & CO.,

CONTINUE to publish the four leading British Quar
terly Reviews and Blackwood’s Magazine; in addi
tion to which they have recently commenced the publi
cation of a valuable Agricultural work, called the
“ Farmer’s Guide to Scientific and Practical Agricultart,’*
By Heruy Stephens, F. R. 8., of Edinburgh, author
ol the ” Book of the Farm,” &c., &c.; assisted by Johh
i\ Norton, M. A., New Haven, Professor ol
Agriculture in \ ale College, &.c., &c,
r I h; c highly valuable work will comprise fctgfl
royal octavo volumes, containing over HOO page?, witfy
18 or 20 splendid steel engravings, and more than
engravings on wood, in the highest style of the art, il
ilustraiing ahi oat every implement of husbandry now iq
use by the best tanners, the best methods ol ploughing,
planting, haying, harvesting, &.C., &.c., thg various do-’
mestic animals in their highest perfection ; in short, the
jiictorial feature of the book is unique, and will rendejj,
it oi incalculable value to the student of agriculture.
The work is being published in Semi -monthly Num
bers, of 84 pages each, exclusive of the Steel “engrav
ings, and is sold at 25 cents each, or’ s>s tor the entire
w ork in numbers, of which there will be at least twenty
two.
Tiie British Periodicals Re-published are as follows,
viz; : “* ’
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW (Conservative),
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig), ‘
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal),
AND
BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory.)
Although these works are distinguished by the political
shades above indicated, yet but a small portion of their
contents is deyoted to political subjects. It is their lit
erary character which gives them their chief value, and
in that they stand confessedly far above all other jour
nals of their class. Blackwood, still under the masterly
guidance of Christopher Aorlh, m%iptains its ancient ce
lebrity, and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from
the serial works of Bulwer and other literary notable*,
written for that magazine, and first appearing ip its col-,
unins both in Great Britain, and in the United .States- —
Such works as “The Caxtons” aud ** My New Novel’-
(both by Bulwer,) “My Peninsular Medal,” “The Green
Hand,” and other serials, of which numerous rival edi
tions are issued by the leading publishers in this country,
have to be reprinted by those publishers from the p&gea
of Blackwood, after it has been issued by Messrs. Scott *{■
Cos., so thatLtubsenuers to theftepfim of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest reading f. these
fascinating tales.
