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 five 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 iu excellent condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, aud 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 aud general arrangement of the 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 bjr the hand or fingers. The simplicity of this rrla* 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 the above machine. Any infomation relativethcrcto.can be obtained by calling on A.

A Humorous Satire on Political Petting. I hadn’t any money to bet, bat did have a new suit of clothes, and I was willing to risk them, and try to win another suit on the State elections. Was sure of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana lor the Republicans—so I made up my mind to bet on the Opposition, and started out in pursuit of a customer—was wil ling to bet with any body who had good clothes, and on any body who I thought would win Went ihto the “Pewter Mug”—Buch anan man in his shirt sleeves with ragged breeches and a battered hat, wanted to bet SIO,OOO that “Old Buck” would carry his own State by fifty thousand majority— then when nt) one took hitii lip; he offered $20,900 agaihst SIO,OOO, but as there was no SIO,OOO man on haftd, he npgnanimously came down t 055,000, but as there didn’t appear to be even that small amount ready at the instant—he lowered his terms to SI,OOO, against which he propos ed to lay $30,000, but Still no one listened— he went on offering greater and greater odds, and made bold defiance to all the world to put up $lO against $60,00t) j and finally of fered to stake SIOO,OOO agaihst a glass of whiskey on the Democracy of Pennsylvania— finding no one to take him up even at that of fer, he turned away in high disdain, staggered up to the bar and wanted something out of a black bottle, but in two minutes the enterpris ing bar-deeper kicked the SIOO,OOO man in the street because he couldn’t raise 3 to pay for his liquor. The room seemed to be full of millionaires, who all wanted to bet on Buchanan to any amount—thought that the possession of a great deal of money must make a man thirsty, for I noticed that when any one called the crowd up to drink, the millionaires always re sponded to the invitation, and took double horns—observed, too, that they never asked any one to drink, and thought it must be be cause they feared setting a bad example, aud leading strangers into dissipation. Then a Fillmore man wanted to take a vote on the Presidential question ; so he asked all those in favor of Fillmore to come up and drink, and the millionaires—all came up—then a Buchanan man requested all who were going to vote for Buchanan to come Up ahd take a horn,and the millionaires tgain came up—then Fillmore man claimed it, and the other man claimed it—then they hit —Buchanan man went down before a rap from a chair, but hot before he had floored Fillmore man with a de canter—disinterested millionaire dressed chief ly iu a black eye and a second hand coat, anx ious to preserve the peace, took the decanter from Buchanan man aud drank the contents before the bar-tender caught him at it—then the bar-keeper got excited, jumped oter the bar and pitched into his wealthy customers— he was perfectly sober, and consequently had a tremendous advantage over the others-—so he devoted himself for a few minutes with great energy and singleness of purpose to an individual, who, a little while before, had ex pressed a willingness to stake half a million on Pennsylvania, but who was now surrepti tiously filling his pockets with cod-fish and crackers, and hustled him out —then he took a $60,000 chap by the naps of the neck and pitched him into a corner—theh he gave his attention to a $70,000 fellow, and a poverty stricken rascal Who hadn't offered to bet more than $15,000 on Buchanan, which two were having a quiet fight all alone, and kicked them into the gutter—then he went promiscuously and impartially at the rest O’s tnfe cfpwd with a club, and dealt out two handed hickory ‘jus tice’till all were subdued and satisfied—he came at me in like affectionate manner, but I called for two drinks, and showed him the mo ney, and he thought better of it Thought there wasn’t much chance of winning my new clothes from these gentlemen, so I hurrahed for Buchanan, threw a quarter to the bar keeper, and took myself off while he was look ing for it behind the barrels. In the course of the day I found Brown, who was well dressed and willing to take my bets. So 1 made the following wagers : A new hat that Pennsylvania would give 20,000 Republican majority, a hew Coat On 15,000 majority, aud a cravat, and a pair of pants, and half a dozen shirts on 10,00 U— thfen I got a bet of a pair of pants and an oystet supper on the general result in ihdiiiha—Went home and thought I had done a good day’s work, and made a suit of clothes quicker than I could iu any other way—went to bed satisfied with the world, and dreamed about the cut and quality of my new coat. Next day the election came off—met Darn phool—he’d been betting on Pennsylvania too, that it would go for Fillmore. So had all hi£ namesakes, iu fact he informed me that all the Damphools had bet on Pennsylvania, and on Fillmore. Met Brown and told him I’d take as6 hat, or, if he’d make it a cash bet, and pay it then, I’d allow him a small discount— but Brown said “wait.” Told Brown he might as well go home and put on his old suit, £ and give me the new one, as to wait till mgbt, i but Brown strangely preferred to wait—told him to be careful meantime, and not sit down in any dirty spot with my pantaloons on, then I followed him slily for two hours, admiring my new clothes from a distance. Night came at last, a fid it was titoe for the returns to come in—went to the newspaper of fices and beard the results read. Fremont seemed all right—Wished that 1 had ten hats bet, and clothes enough to last me ten years Then the sealfe scefocd to change, and in a lit tle while I didn’t care for more than half a do zen hats, and Was glad on the whole, (hat 1 hadn’t got a ten year's stock of clothes at stake, as they might go ,out of fashion before 1 could wear them out. Then another tele graph came in, and I thought I could make 3 hats do—then another arrived, and 1 began to be rather glad that I hadn’t bet my old clothes as well as my new ones—then the tel egraph said that Fremont wouldn't have hiore than 5,000 majority—thought that this report must be wrong—went to the Times rffice— same news there ; walked up to the Tribune shop, ditto ; circulated down to the Htrald office, same kind of news there, only worse, and a mighty sight more of it—trembled for a moment, thens thought of “the mountains” with glee, and the “back couutics” with a joy ful hope. News kept coming; same kind— got a little scared—found the fellows I had met with, and tried to convitlCo them that I had meant a suit of summer clothes, a straw hat, and cowliide bodts. Brdwn pulled dowii the corner of his dye and Said ‘No you don’t.* Cruel Brown ! Then another county came in* ahd made the 20,000 majority a Sute failtir'e; ahd so lost my hat sot file; anu t began to fear that 1 should have to relapse into my old clothes. Then another county came in, and took the coat from my back, then anothor, and stripped me of my pantaloons ; then another yet, and de spoiled me of one of my new shirts. Ami the last dispatch of the night fobbed me of my velvet vest, and illy only decent cravat.. Went td bed sorrowful—took a look at my old suit and mourned at the fractured integrity thereof. Disconsolate, I wandered down t town the next morning, and read on the bulletin that Pennsylvania had gone for Fremont after all —borrowed a newspaper, it was even so, and I shouted for joy, for though I had lost my lmt and coat, I had saved my pantaloons.— Papers ull said we had got Pennsylvania surd —met a crazy Buchanan man who wanted td bfet that thd Key Stone State hud gone for old Buck—thought Crn2V Buchanan man had not heard the news, and looked upon him as a special interposition Os fortune in my behalf lie wa6 a speculation, ahd he Was to be mado the most of—l dared nOt trilst him out of my sight lest some ono else should get hold of hint and win his money before I got iny share —- Stuck close to him and coaxed him into the back room of a lager biet shop, got him td bet on Pennsylvania ; he had more money than I had, but he was willing topUt it all up if I would find means to cover it—agreed td raise the balance if it took a leg, and deposit with Jones before 3 o’clock. Left crazy Buchanah man, and w ent out to borrow the money-'-tonhd Damppool—Dam : phool hadn’t got the cash, but, when I show ed him what a sure thing We had on crazy Buchanan man, he said hp’d get it, and he wanted me to let him go halves, but I appeal ed strongly to his friendship, and he finally agreed to let me keep all the profits; and lie would lend me the money out Os pure love. I waited impatiently for liiin to raise the funds and tnaSte his appenfapte. bne o’clock came, and no Dampbool and no money ; began to be uneasy lest I shouldn’t have the funds td put into Jones’ hands, and should therefore loSe tlie chance-“hn!f past one, and no Dam ; phool \ felt hi licit Cicited and Wished I. was behind Damplibol With a sharp stibk Two o’clock, and Damphbol still invisible ; was iii an agony, and feared that Buehahah inaii would escape his fate—haifpaSt two, hbDaiiF phool, felt despairing and deperate, but a Id minutes to 3, Dampbool made his appearance on the horizon just as I was meditating a cheap suicide, for I really had not money enough to buy a rope, a dose of poison of <t charge of powder. But Dampbool came at last ; he had pawned his horses; and agreed to pay 5 cent, per month, hut life had gbt the cash, I hurried to Jones and got it sate’y into his hands at 2 minutes before 3 ; then I went out and danced an ecstatic hornpipe on the side-j walk. After I had effervesced a little, I stepped around and told my boot man that I’d have some money “to-morrow” and pay his little bill—tfiefl t Sfcnt wOrd to Staggs that I’d pay my note ‘‘to-morrbw,” find he needn’t sue ; and also to Snufkins that he might stop his proceedings In cjtfurt, sot I. Should be id funds “to morrow” —I drbppett in and bullied my tailor for having dared to diin me for & bill only 4 months over date—paid it in full with my note due “one day after date,” aud told him to send his boy round “t.O-raorrow.” I left this deluded ihan tiife idea that. I had just fallen heir to a large fortune. Night came, and with it the official returns —to my surprise they didn’t look exactly right, and against hie—hurried to the tele graph office, same story therC—thought some body had lied to the lightning, aiid was going to whip the operator. Found that the dire bitelligeucej however, Was too true—crazy Buchanan man had)\tatd the nfew’S —in fact I learned that crazy Buchanttn than; and 2 or 3 other Buchanan meti; eqtially Crazy, had in dented .Republican majorities of the morniug, hired the telegraph man to 6end them on from!
