THIS valuable machine, second only to the invention of the Cotton Gin, is destined to produce a remarkable change in the method of gathering cotton from the field It will do the work of from three to live hands in picking cotton from the stalk, and is evidently a labor-saving ma chine. Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra pidity of its work, will enable the Planter to prepare his crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general arrangement oftlie Plantation. It is light, weighing about 8 pounds, is suspended by a strap over the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank turned by the hand or fingers. The simplicity of this ma chine is its leading feature—it is not liable to get out of or der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent to use it. One harvester, with proper care, will last a series of years. We are now selling State and County Rights for the man ufacture and use of ike above machine; Any ihfotuatioh relative thereto, can be obtained by calling on A.

I To the Democratic Party of the Unit, ed States* National Democratic Committee Rooms, ) November G, 185 G. [ The trust of conducting the national canvass confided to the Democratic National Resident Committed has be'eh ‘discharged With the fideli ty which the honor Mid the exigency of that trust alike demanded, and the committee has to unite its congratulations with your own in announcing the success of the democratic tick et by a decfcWd aWd gratifying majority The struggle is over, and the Union is safe. Ours is indeed, anew and signal triumph.— Heretofore ohr victories have bfce'n achieved over those who, like ourselves, were friends of the Union. This has beeu a conquest over its enemies. Heretofore Ot\r antagonists have contended With fraternal eagernessfor the hon or of promoting the progress or of insuring the duration of the republic ThoSe whom we have just vanquished sought-, lindeta treacherous a’d herance to the forms of the ‘constitution, t‘o rob it of all of its essence and vitality. The principles Os tile d’etiVochttic party having be come the established policy of the federal gov ernment, it became necessary for its enemies to organize some new and desperate combination to overthrow it. An unnatural alliance between fanaticism and venality has engendered a mon ster which the democratic party has with great peril sought out and destroyed. That monster was sectionalism. The circumstances under which the evil ori ginated were peculiar. The land has been clouded by a measma of error. The belief that one part of the Union had beeu invaded by the institution of another, and that the federal government had lent its power to promote this injustice, had spread with epidemical rapidity. It had been infected into the circulation of popular thought with all the force of an un scrupulous press, and was spead broadcast over the land by the whole power of represents five influence. It seemed at one time almost in vain to pursue with the antedote of truth and reason this venemous error as it sped thro’ the channels of public opinion. Our enemies had chosen their ground with skill-; they had recruited their ranks with all the influences which could combine an army. They proclaimed the ultimate abolition of slavery as the incentive to the fanatic—-the di vision of the spoils as the reward of the hieree nary. The pretended invasion of a sacred right constituted their appeal to those patriotic impulses, whilst a feigned regard for the Un ion was to secure the support or the neutrali ty of all whose material iuterests were involv ed in Its duration. These devices had organi zed a formidable array. Masses of holiest ail'd earnest men were deluded by the teachers whom they had trusted into the belief that their government had betrayed and their fellow eiti£eUs had oppressed theta. Divines, girded with the sword and clothed with the authority of the gospel, preached bloody resistance to the laws as the most acceptable service to God Woman quitted her peaceful station to animate with her apprehensions those to whom her wishes are ever a command; and the youth, indoctrinated by Wily managers, responded with inthusiasm to false appeals addressed to their inate and generous hatred of oppression. Pobticions speculated philosophically upon the capacity of the constitution, caring only to know whether its native strength of struc ture would bear the agitation necessary to se cure the success of their nefarious scemes; and still leave enough of stability to insure their enjoyment. It was the purpose of these conspirators <o secure possession of the gov eminent if it per ished in their grasp. It was their purpose to inaugurate the North as the dominant section. The rule of eligibility was to be obedient to the sway and conformity to the opinions of the dominant section. The subjugation of Ireland by force, division, and bribery was to be re produced upon this continent, and the South ern States Were to be reduced to a mere pro vincial appendage of the federal government. Such was the plan, and disunion must have followed its accomplishment. Southern men would have only differed as to the hour and mode of separation. Ihe cement Which binds the fabric of the Union Would have lost its co hesion in the fires of the conflict, and the ma jestic fabric would have crumbled and fallen in ruins, never again to be reconstructed. Never was the public in such peril. Never were the friends of the Union, from any exist ing grievance, less prepared to have apprehen ded a conspiracy so atrocious But tlibSe to whom you had committed the safety of the re public were faithful to their trust. The dem ocratic party was, by common consent, ac knowledged to be the sole party of the Union and was charged with its defence. Sound and truthful documents adequate to the emergency were prepard, atld circulated to an extent scarcely inferior to that of the errors which they have intended to counteract. Able and eloquent orators were impressed into the ser vice of the Union, They responded with an alacrity worthy that with which their ancestry had repaired to the battle-field in the same holy cause: Ncicf Was there more hafmdUy in the democratic cause. Never did the pa triots of every party earn more true glory than when they enrolled themselves in the recent canvass under the banner of democracy, and marched to fight for the salvation ot the Un ion i My fellow citizens, the contest is, for the present over. The democratic party is again in control of the government. It will have ample opportunity to convince those who have been misled, that its only object is the estab lishment of equal rights, not the propagation of a sectional policy It Will show the world that it desires only to promote the political and commercial progress of this great republic —to advance the cause of human Civilisation and liberty, not to acqulrfe the property of other nations, by force or fraud. It vvill de monstrate that democratic principles are alone adequate to the effectual administration of the government, and that they are, as they have beehj fully competent to insure the success Os that republican empire which our fathers have founded atid committed co our care In closing the performance of the arduous and responsible duties confided, to our hands bv the confidence of the democratic party, wc $2,00-, -In ftObwce-.. have to return our thanks to Providence for haviffg permitted us in any sense, however humble, to have been instrumental in preserv ing our beloved country from a conspiracy so dangerous to its peace and tranquility, and in having contributed to a result so conclusive of the established ascendency of democratic prin ciples, and so auspicious to the permanency Os the Ufti'on.

Near Mazarino, in Siei'y, in 1510, was found a giant thirty feet high. His head was the size of a hogshead, and each of his teeth weighed five ounces. (Wonder whether den tists filled teeth with gold in that day.) Near Palermo, in Sicily, in 1547, was found the skelet’dh of W giant 40 feet long, and iii 1550 another thirty feet long.

When the spies went to explore the Cannan ites; they reported the children of Anak as gi ants, in whosepreSbCce they felt themselves to be but as grass-hbppcrs, and they just “pulled foot for home for fear that they should be all devoured by the giants;” for the spies had said that they ate up the inhabitants of the land; Martin Luther.— On the 13th of June, 1823, whilst Dr. Pommer, the painter Cra nach, and the advocate A pell, Were discours ing with Martin Luther, the latter requested that they would accompany him to call on the notary Reicbeuboch.

In order that it might be joyfully celebrated, the magistrates delivered to the guests four bottles of Malm sey wind, and equal pbl’tion of Rhenish, atid six quarts of Franconia. The Council of thfc City, moreover; presented Martin Luther with a ton of Eimbriek ; and as an additional proof of their admiration for the Reformer, the ma gistracy pledged themselves, inthenamc of thfc citizens, to pay for all the wine lie might com siime for the spate of one year A Crash.— The new brick walls of the pus : senger depot, in construction by tub different railroad companies at this point; fell in W ith ii gfeat smash on Tuesday last: ‘J he bhildittg was some 300 sett in lfetigth ahd nbt Covered; atid the heavy raihs of late settled the founda tions on the inside, causing both the side walla to fall for 250 feet.
