BROWN’S ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE
POWER PRESS.
T HE advantage ol ttiimew POWER PRESS,
and iu auperiorty over all others, as follows:
The power applied is multiplied 440 times, by the
Lever and Eccentric puliy. that. is, one houdred
pounds power applied to the Lever will exert a force
24,000 pounds ou 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. Jt is three
times as powerful as a screw of 18 inches diameter,
that has a nine inch pitch of thread with the same
length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk
but one-third as far, for the reason that a lever is
required but one-third as long to the same work. And
farther, the Press foilowerdescends with much great
er rapidity at the commencement of the operation,
when but little power ia required, which shortens the
distance travelled by uie 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, and can be ao
modified as to answerany purposes where a Press is
necessary for manufacturing or domestic purposes.
Forcotton itreqairesone-tourth less work to build,
end three-fourths less work to raise, than the screws,
and if a cast iron Eccentric wheel is used, it will be
mnehover half the work to build as a screw. For
Pressing Cotton. Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, 4c. it cannot
lie excelled. There is one-third less timber in this
Press than in the screw, and it ia ceitaioly the cheap
est ever built.
The whole cost of the Trone will not exceed 945,

The Shawl,
THE HOST GRACEFUL AND FEMININE OAKMENT IN
THE WORLD.
Wo scarcely know u truer teat of a gentle,
woman’s taste in dress than her .selection of n
shawl, and her manner of wearing it: and yet, if
tbo truth must be owned, it is the.test from which
few Englishwomen come with triumph. General-
lv speaking, tho shawl is not their forte, in fact
they are rniher afraid of it. They acknowledgers
comfort and convenience for the open carriage, or
the sea-side promenade, hot rarely recoguise it
for what it is, n garment capable of appearing tho
most feminine and graceful in iho world. They
are two often oppressed by a heap of folse notions
on the subject; have somehow an idea that n
shawl is “old”or dowdyand yet havo a dim
comprehension that the costly shawls which they
more frequently hear of than see, mutt have some
uuimagiued merits prove an excuse for their
priro-
The Frenchwoman on ibe contrary, has tradi«
tiou about "Cashmere," and remembers nn blank
ol ignorance on Hie subject. She played atdress-
ing her doll with one, you may be sure; chron
icled at an epoch in her lire, her first possession
ofthe real thing; holds it ns precious as a diamond
and as something to which appertains tho same
tort of intrinsic value; and shrugs her shoulders
with compnssionate contempt at an Englishwom
an’s ignorant indifiV-reucu on lliis subject—just as
a lover of olive* pilies the coarse patute which re
ject* them. Truly the taste for the shawl is a
little inherent, and a great deal acquired ami cul
tivated; as apprecialion for the highest attributes
of every department of art ever nn.st be from a
relish for Canovn’s ch'Js-d'auvresdov/alo a relish
for M. Soyer’s dishes
Of course iimong those we are addressing, there
is n minority who do know, and duly esteem a
liesutiful sh**wl: pe,haps, from the possession of
wealth, they have long been accustomed to be
turrounJed by objects of rare and exquisite fabric,
and their praciiced eyes would be quick at detec
ting inferiority : perhaps without great riches or
ibe personal possession of valuable attire, a fine
taste may have been cultivaled by circumstances:
and perhaps they are Anglo Indians, nr the rela
tives and nearer friends of Anglo Indians who
know well a ••Cn»hmere,"—measuring every other
shawl iulhe world bv and from it—and to whom
the wold conjures up a host of memories half sun
shine and half shadow.
It was not mini quite the close of the last cen
tury, that Cashmeres were prized in Europe.
Travellers' tales had mentioned them, it is true,
but tlint was before the locomotive age. and when
travellers were few. and travelling unspeakably
tedious; when soldiers went to India to hold an
increase their country’* territory ; when a few tra
ders made princely fortune* ; but when every sys
tem of interchange was narrow anil exclusive, and
people were taught to be content with clumsey
common wares iuslead of raising them to excel-
leure by the spur of competition. Itis said that
in the year 1787, ,he embassadors Tippno Saib
left behind them at Paris a few Cashmere shawls
—intended as gracious presents, we presume—but
which were regarded solely as curiosities, and not
even much esteemed in that capacity fur we learn
that iltey were emplo\ed as dressing gowns, and
oven nsed for carpeting! Not till after Napoleon’s
expedition to Egypt did they become the rage;
aud a solid good resulted from that campaign iu the
introduction of a fablic destined lo he the mndrl
of of one ofthe must famous manufacture* of the
French.
Madame Emile Gaudin, a lady of Greek extrac
tion, and a reigning beauty, is reputed to have first
wortin Cashmere shawl in Taris; hut if we know
anything of the "Con till’s Wife," or the "Empress
Josephine." she wns uot very far behind, for her
love of Cashmere* was next to her love of fin wers,
us more than one anecdote might be called to tes
tify. What scenes this history of an inanimate
object conjures up to the ntind’seye. These lead
ers ol fuxhinu when the old century went nut nn
the young Republic of France, whose .Master was
already found—who were they T The wives of
men who were wot king out the destiny of Europe,
guided by a chief who. be be judged lor good or
servatism inseparable from semi-barbarism. Lon
don is now one of the chief marts for Cs-htneres.
It may not be generally known that London deal
ers send quantities of shawls to France. America,
Russia, and even Turkey, a convincing proof of
the exterpriso of British merchanrs. They sup
ply many other foreigners, especiully finding tt
market among them for tho gold embroidered
shawls, which are frequently woru on state neca*
sinus at foreign courts. The duty on Iixliats
shawls is now only about five per cent. Twice a
year there are public sales, to which dealers aro
invited by catalogues sent to Paris and other con
tinental cities. One of tho great merits of a
Cashmere seems that it is really never nut of date;
and when, comparing even the old “ pine " pat
terns with fit's large long shawls, the rich hnrdere
of which sweep in graceful Hawing lines into iho
very centre, we feel that they are still " of one:
family," and hold together—if the comparison be
not too fanciful—rich and poor, in right cUuisb
fashion.
Some of she most modern and most costly Tn-
dinn shawls resemble in pattern that of the long
French Cashmere, simply however because tbo
French have copied the Indian design- The gold
and silver thread employed for the embroidery
of Cashmere shawls is usually prepared in Iho
following manner; and the chief seatof the man
ufacture is at Itoorliamponr, n city of the Dec-
can. A piece or the purest ore is beaten into a
cylindrical form about the size of u thick reed,
and then beaten out length until it will puss
through an orifice the eighth of nn iuch in diam
eter; it is drawn through still finer perforations
until it is reduced to the proportion of n bobbin
thread. Now n different plan ia pursued; the
wire already produced is wound upon several
reel* which work upon pivots, the end of tha
■hrend being passed through still finer holes, and
then alfixed to a large reel which is set rapidly in
motion and still further attenuates the threads. It
is afterwards flattened on ail anvil of highly pol
ished steel, by a practiced and dexterous work
man; and by an ingenious process, a silk thread
if afterwards plated, or sheathed, as it were, by
this minute wire. It is asserted that if a lump of
sliver be guilt in the first instance before being
drawn iu>o wire, it will retain ibe gilding through
all the subsequent liard usages of hammering,
winding aud drawing to which it is subjected,
com'ng out to the very last n gilded thread. It is
easy to uuiierstHiid that gold nnd silver thread of
this pure description, unlike tinsel Query, it is nut
liable to tarnish
There are few of our readers who can require
quite telling that China crape is made entirely of
silk, and that shawls manufactured of it are gen
erally costlv in proportion to tile richness of tbo
pattern. The foundation or ground of the shnwls
is chiefly made at Nankin, and llieu sent to Can
ton to be embroidered. The pattern ia formed
by two ” needletneti." who work togetber, the
one passing the silk down, and the other from be
neath pasting it up, while a third workman
changes the silk lor them when necessary.
Thu* the apparent marvel of equal neatness ou
both sides is accounted for. by the explanation of
this simple method ; but we have quite failed,
from rxauiiim’ionof the work, to detect the pro
cess of fastening nn and oil'; with such mysteri
ous ingenuity is this needful operation performed.
China crape shawls have been very frshioiiahle of
late years, aud almost deft ing vulgar imitation,
are little likely to fall into disrepute.

As we havo said, the Cashmere thavrl became
the rage. The farce of pretended equality in
France wus acted out, and the curtain dropped nn
it in preparation for quite a different tableau ; peo
ple no longer risked their lives bv dressing cle
ganlly. and it was now expected that lite soubntle
the blonehissrute, or the poissonniere should dress
precisely the same as the lady of a general officer.
There was wealth, too, in the land, and the enor
mous sums demanded lor these shawls were readi
ly lorlbcniniug. Sums equivalent to two or three
hundred pouudsnf our money were commonly
paid even for soiled worn articles, which had done
duty as turbans to Mogul soldiers, or girded as
Bayadere’s waist, or been the sacredotal garment
of an idolatrous priest—and had very frequently
been thus used by more llinn one generation. It
is true, tbedurability of the fabric, nud the lasting
properties ofthe dyes, permitted the cleansing ol
these shawls with scarcely perceptible injury or
deterioration, but still it wai only the intrinsic
merit of the thing, which could have overcome
Ibe natural repugnance which the knowu or sus
pected history of a Cashmere must iu tnauy iu-
•lances Iluve occasioned.
The Levant traders hud now large commissions,
the result was that new shawls were soon more
ensily procurable, hut still bearing nn enormous
price. This is readily accounted lor. nnd a brief
description of the manufacture of Indian shawls
will show how itis that they never enu be cheap:
The wool of the Thibet goat is the finest in the
world, and for the best shawls, only the fiuest
even of this wool is used. Thu animals are
shorn once a year, and a full grown gout produces
nhuiit eight minces of wool of this first quality.
There is every reason to suppose that the climate
has very much to do with the perfection of the
animal, for attempts to naturalise it elsewhere
have alt more ur less failed. The loom on which
a Cashmere shawl is woven ia of the rudest and
most primitive description, the warp being sup
ported by two sticks, and the wool eutirely work
ed in by the human baud*. This slow laborious
procett permits a neatness and exactness of finish
beyond tbe power of any machinery to rival; and
when we take iuto account a life-loug practice in
:be art, aud—remembering the Hindtio "castes.”
which usually limit a family to the exercise of a
tingle craft—in most iustances the family secrets
and traditions which have been preserved, we
cease to wonder at the perfection of the work.
These Asiatic weavers, temperate in their habits
aud readily contented, receive a wage of from
three-halfpence to two-pence a day, but if their
wants more nearly approximated to those of an
European laborer, what would an Indian Cash
mere be worth, when we are informed that Irom
thirty to forty men have some times been employ
ed from eighteen mouths to two years in the man
ufacturer of a single shawl! There is something
very kindling to the Imaginatjnu ill tha thought of
these swarthy weavers, attired perhaps iu our
Manchester calicoes, laboring patiently for week*
and mouths to produce a fabric worthy of rank
and royalty, without other than most vague or
false ideas of iho scenes in which their work will
be displayed.
The borders of these shawls are made in sev
eral pieces, sometimes as many as from ten to
twenty,«»d aro afterward sown together to form
the pattern; aud by the border an Indian shawl
may always be recuguised from u French or Pais
ley one, however rinse an imitation tho latter may
appear. Every stitch of tbe border of tho Indian
shawls being worked by the hand ts distinct in
itself, and may he pulled out—though it is uot
very easily detached—without further injury to
the fabric; whereas the shawl made on a French
or Brilivb loom his the bonier formed in one
piece, whence a long thread may at any lime be
readily drawn. Indeed there is no surer test by
which a lady may know a veritable Cashmere,
than by examining the bonier; but if she have a
fine eye for color ibis faculty will also assist her

removing their operations to a distance whenever
they have reason to dread inquisitive looker* on.
But the result in their fabrics is perceived in the
peculiar richness and clearness of their hues, and
at the same time absence of glare; the reds,
bines, and greens, reminding one more or the har-
monions tints of old staiued glass than anything
else.
It mast not. however, bo supposed that In the
progressive nineteenth century, even this Asiatic
manufacture has remained stationary. Receiving
the impetus of fashion, the shawls of Cashmere
have become, within the last dozen v ears, riche
and more elaborate tban ever; thetrrichness and
elaboration of pattern necessitating even a firmer

Facts lo be Itruiembercd*
Experience has established the fact, that tyran
ny begets tyrany—that one usurpation unresisted,
is ceitaiu to be followed by mjutber, aud that tbe
progress of lawless power was never impeded by
tame submission.
These truths have been wonderfully exempli
fied in the history of this country, as we will pro
ceed briefly to show.
1. Virginia possessed a large territory in the
North West—the Northern States insisted that it
should be ceded to the Confederation for the gen
eral good. Virginia yielded lo tbit demand for
tbe sake of peace aud harmony—aud not because
law or equity required that she should do so. Her
right lo the laud wus clear and uudisputed.aud from
motives of generosity and fretulship, she made
them equal beneficiaries with herself, iu that val
uable domain.
But no sooner was this done, than the perfij-
inut North, excluded Virginia aud all theSoo-Ibcra
Stot.-s from the right to curry their institutions
there; and to this th- South submitted.
2. In the Conventiou by which the Constitution
was framed—the North demanded that ourslavet
should not be counted as a pai l of the representa
tive population; for the sake of Union and yonce,
the South agreed that two fifths shosld be exclud
ed.
3. In 1803, the Louisiana Territory was acquir
ed from France, containing 1.189.112square wiles.
Both under the constitution of this country, aud
by the laws ol'Fraiice, the Southern man bad a
a right to emigrate with his property to any pot-
tiou of that Territory. But in 1820, Missouri ap
plied ior admission into the Union us a State—
and opposition was mude, because by her Cotisti-
ration, slavery wai recognized. For the sake of
Union, of peace, of harmony, the South transferred
to tree-soil 901 G07 square miles—aud retained fur
herself 281,445 square miles.
4. Oregon was acquired from Spain, and the
South submitted to the application of the Wilmot
Frvoiso. by which 311.403 square miles of stuvo
territory was made free
5. The wliule territory obtained from Mexico,
chiefly by the blond aud treasure of the South, it
now added to the already uvergrowu power or tbe
North,
Iu the above summary of tacts, we have mere
ly staled the land account, between the North and
the South ; aud have said nothing iu reference to
other grievous burdens imposed upon, aud patient
ly borne by the South.
The result is that the North is now strong en
ough to wage a war ol rxteriniiiatiuii against the
South nud her institutions—and her strength has
thus increased because the South would uot re
fuse compliance with her unjust demands.
Judging by the past, wbat is the South to ex
pect iu loe future t From the formation of tbe
government, she has allowed herself to be robbed;
and the North lias been the rubber. For the sake
of Union, our hither* deprived their posterity of
that beautiful laud, north of thu Ohio—for iho
of Union, they ceded their title to that immeuso
tract of country acquired from Spain and Franca—
and now, we their children, are called upon to
•'ibuiit quietly to be robbed of all the fruits of
the Mexican war; and this, too, with the uvowed
object of degrading the South, of crushing her in
stitutions, and depriving her of her equal position
in the Union. Well muy Southern men, iu view
of these) things, exclaim to the North. "How
lung wilt tbuu abuse our patience.”
£5?* “Letters or Fire” has until lately been
one of those stuck phrases of poets, iu use since
Homer’s time. It is understood as being entirely
figurative and typical uf enduring fame. But War-
nock, the hatter, in thu fii st story ot tbe Irving
House, having no taste for figurative phrases, has
written his uume in actual lire—most materia) gas
light. As soon ns Broadway grows daik. the
word ‘'Warnock.”formed by a hundred jets of
gas, blazes out over the street, from his window,
lighting the way to a choice aud elegant stock of
lints Mr. Wat nock, it is clear, does not hide bit
light uniter a bushel—as is also proved by the tale
ol bit lists-—A*. Y. Tribune.
