T HE MERITS OF THIS'
Plow over others, for
the cultivation of both Cot-
ton and Corn are many, but I shall mention
only its leading merits: With four wings,
two small and two large, it can be eonverted
Into Seven different Plows, all of which are
very necessary for tho cultivation of dif
ferent cfops. And another very important
feature is durability. A Plow completed
williasta man from two to Ate years, accord
ing to tho soil he cultivates, and will only
cost about Three Dollars to put it up. An
Agency will soon bo established in Romo,
and then planters will bo invited to call and
see for themselves. Address,

Stampede of Mormbkit.
It is tyith a feeling of unmitigated
satisfaction, that we record toe pro
posed exodus of the Mormons, from
Utah. The apostle of deliverance is a
martial but benevolent person of the
name of Copt. Walter M. Gibson. It
seems that this individual, some time
ago, matured and suggested a plan for
ithe immediate emigration of tho Mor
mons to Oceanica, which plan was sol
emnly approved by that “only man of
God,” Mr. Brigham Young, and subse
quently laid before the President for
his approval. As a matter of oourse
the President stated, gently but firmly,
that Mr. Brigham Young might, for all
the Executive cared, take his Mormons
and go to grass with them. This being
sotpewhat unsatisfactory, the warlike
Gibson came at once to the rescue,
“identified himself with the Mormon
fraternity,” “made* their interests his
pWn,” and wisely suggested that, as an
alternative, they emigrate to one of
the East India Islands. This proposal
was accepted, and as the report says,
“reliable information has been received
here, to the effect that the views of
Cupt. Gibson will be carried out.” We
earnestly hope so. The only difficulty
seems to be, that the “sweet and com
mendable" Saints have got some prop
erty in Utah which they want the Gov
ernment to buy, and which the Govern
ment won’t buy on any terms. But
even this difficulty does not seem to be
very serious, for it is said that, if they
cannot dispose of their property, they
will abandon it when arrangements for
emigration are completed. Let them
be commended to this lovely act of for
titude and self-sacrifice. May tho
wind Bit in tho hollow of their sails,
and, the Republic bo relieve i of a pes
tilent nuisance.—N. Y. Day Rook.
First Blood Shed for Liberty in the
Revolutionary Wan
The' first blood shed in defence of life
erty, and in opposing English oppress
ion, was in the South. The State of
North Carolina^-the “OldNorth State,”
and twin-sister of .Sbilth Carolina—is
entitled to the honor. It was during the
governor at .
the,most splendid palaces in either Nona -
or South America, at NeWbern, S. O.,
with the proceeds of taxes imposed up*
on the people for .the purpose, and to
Which taxation a portion of them
rebelled, just as did the meh of Massa
chusetts afterwards. It took place in
the (year 1771, and is narrated by Mr.
Wheeler in bis History of North Cato*
lina. On the 16th of May, in that year,
a battle was fought Ijetween the Ameri
can and British forces on -the banks 'of
the Almanao river, in what is known
now as the county of that name, called
the battle of the almanac. The Ameri
can forces were called the "regulators,”
for their efforts in endeavoring to bring
about an equitable regulation of taxes
and other oppressive matters. The
American forces amounted to two thous
and, and were headed by three men
named Husbands, Hunter, and Butler;
while the British forces, including mili
tia called out by Tyron, amounted to
upwards of elevenhundrod.buthad the
As might^hav/ been Oxpectedf the
Americans were defeated, aftor an ac
tion of two hours, With a loss of twenty
dead and several wounded, while that
ofthe royal forces, in killed, wounded
and missing, was sixty-one.

Witticisms of Lord Palmerston.
Lord Palmerston and the Earl of.
Derby having been seen chatting at
Epsom in a friendly-way, and arm in
arm, gave rise to the report that they
would go hand in hand in politics;
indeed it is difficult to understand that
snch fierce antagonists in the political
arena should he able to fling off all
enmity. Palmerston oven went so far
as to joke Derby, and. show him the
last caricature in Punch, wherein Derby
seen jumping through a paper hoop
at a riding circus, and coming down
smack on bis head—but “Pam” is ah
ways joking. I told you in my last
about Delaiue, the editor of the Times,
being received in so friendly a way by
Palmerston, and that it. has raised the
ire of the Premier’s _ foes. But his
Lordship must have his bon mot at the
expense of the affair ; so tho last thing
in town attributed to Lord Palmerston
„ this conundrum: “Why are my din
ners like Lady Palmerston’s dresses?—
Because they are muzzling Delaine”
(mouseline de laine); and so also his
ohop-fallen. colleague Gladstone, who
has got them all into a muss, is made
the subject of conundrum number two:
“Why is Gladstone like lobster salad t
Because he is very good, but disagrees
wfth everybody.” It is to this deter
mination to be jelly, whioh has made
him what he is athis time of life.—Lon

things, certain leave-taking occUrrehces
at Richmond, on his departure from
that oity.' The mere mention of the
cosdiallty 'shown him by the Virginians s
quite ovcipowored hito. and in a chok
ed voice he exclaimed, “They’re a.
