T HE MERITS OF THIS
Plow over others, for
the cultivation of both Cet-
ton and Corn are many, but I shall mention
only Us leading merits: With four wings,
two small and two largo, it can be converted
into Seven different Plows, all of which arc
very necessary for tho cultivation of dif
ferent crops. And another very important
feature is durability. A Plow completed
will last a man from two to five years, accord
ing to the soil he cultivates, and will only
cost about Three Dollars to put it up. An
Agency will soon be established in Rome,
and then planters will be invited to call and
seo for themselves. Address.

to the requisition of tho Prosidont,
and will not. Union men hopo the
Government will take possession of
the upper part of the State in order to
secure tho Powder mills at Brandy
wine, at which the secessionists evident
ly aim.
A Beginning.-Wo learn ft-om a friend
present on the occasion, of the occur
rence of an adventure which goes to
show that our citizens are on tho look
out for whatever may turn up of bene
fit to tho common cause. On Thursday
the lfith instant, the inhabitants of the
lower portion of the parish of St. Marys,
on Berwick,s Bay, and as the vicinage,
having boon advised of the npcarvice
in those wa'ors of a couple of suspected
craft, determined to make lawful prizes
of them. A few choice spirits according
ly embarked in the little steamer A. B.
Srgrr, belonging to the agent of the
Opelousas liuilroad, under tne command
of Capt. U. 11. Keen. The expedition
was in a brief period successful. They
first boarded a schooner lying at anchor
in tho upper yurt of the bay, bound for
the North, and waiting for a wind. Ta
king posessionof her in tho name of the
.Southern Confederacy and leaving a
man in charge, they then proceeded fif
teen milos up Grand Lake to Cypress
Island Pass, and took possession of an
other large schooner. Both of these
vessels were loaded with live oak timber,
and will prove timely and valuable ac
quisitions.—N. O. Bulletin.
General Cass.—Gen. Casa made a
speech at Detroit {Mich.) on Ihe 17th
inst., on the occasion of the Board of
Trade unfurling the National flag over
their rooms. He was strongly in favor
of supporting the Union, the Constitu
tion and the country’s flag, under all
circumstances like the present. It we*
the duty of every citizen to ttand by
the Government.

Orders for India Cotton.—Tho Lon
don Mercantile Gazotte of the 9th in
stant, while sneaking of the anxiety
prevailing in England in reference to
the feasibility of receiving supplies of
cotton adequate to the demand, notices
a heavy fulling off in the importations
from India, and remarks as follows.
This is an unfortunate movement, be
cause we have every reason ■ to believe
that orders have lately been sent to the
East for the purchase of from 800,000,
to 1,000,000 Dnles, under the impres
sion, on the part of the operators, that
cotton would rule very high in price*
hore, owing to the secession movement
in tho Southern States of America. The
largo orders sent out, however, will test
the power of Indie to furnish us with
the required amount of supply. * Wet
believe that tbe whole quantity here
named may be purchased, now that
railway communication la rapidly open
ing up tho internal resources of the
country.
The high prices obtained for cotton
India, does not encourage the expecto-
lon of large arrivals from that quater.
Lincoln’s Trick at Sorter—How
the First Gun was Fired—Tai Secret
Out.—It is evident now that the rea-
bon why the fleet did not assist Major
Anderson was because the Qovemment
really wishod Major Anderson to be
defeated. The Tribune tacitly confesses
it this morning. It says; “ We
have hit Fort Sumter, but we have united
the North,” This corresponds with the
wish of a prominent Republican, who
said he hoped Major Anderson would
be defeated, in order to do just what
the Tribune now claims it has done-
exposed a gallant band of soldier* to
death in order to carry a political
point! ”
OrncERS Interrogated.—A Wash-
igton dispatch to the Now Orleans Delta
says -.
“The line officers ordered to the ships
now fitting out for the contemplated
expedition are all taken from the Nor
thern Statos, and are all interrogated os
to their views respecting the present
position of affairs in the South. Where
there is any hesitation in answering the
questions, or any suspicion of the loyal,
ty of tho person interrogated, he is im
mediately set-aside os unfit for the pur
pose now in view.”

Picket Guard no Use.—At tfaei
