And when an article is advertised for sale, whex it if sold, the advertiser should attend to taking it out of the paper, because it misleads the readers of the paper besides running him to lnorecost.

Baynci Editor and Proprietor. FAYETTEVILLE. X. C. JTOrE7r1051. THE SEWING MACHINE. We some time since gave an unfavorable no tice in the Carolinian of the Sewing Machine of Messrs Lerow & Blodget, after examining it at Wilmington, in the shop of Mr Barr. This no tice of ours has been extensively copied into other papers, and has met the eyes of the pro prietors, Messrs L. &. B.f and they have publish ed in the Wilmington Journal a card, which we give them the full benefit of as follows: From the Wilmington Journal. Messrs Editors: Within the past week we have seen a notice of the 'Sew ing Machine'' in the Ilaleih Standard, copied from the Carolinian which requires a. statement of facts in order to remove the prejudice and error which the article refer red to might produce. The Editor of the Carolinian says: "I have seen the Sewing Machine at Mr Barr's shop. It is a simple little concern, that might be put into a good sized hat. There is some out side gear, however, that makes it necessary to have it upon a table of about two feet square. It is moved iby a treadle, which operates on springs of wire. The needle works perpendicu larly. The mode of making the stitch is not ea sily understood by a looker on. From what I saw of the sewing, I am not favorably impressed with it, tor this reason : , Every stitch, instead of taking hold of the cloth, is entirely dependent upon a single thread. 1 he seam is held togeth er by a thread, and not by the cloth. There is a single thread that runs along the seam, and the stitches made by the needle, instead of catching on the cloth, catch on the thread. 1 his thread may be cut at any point and drawn out, even to the length oljan ordinal-) needle full, and then the seam for this whole length comes apart,-just as if there had been no sewing there! Therefore for durability, I consider the machine sewing not at all comparable to hand sewing." Had the Editor expressed a desire to see and learn the "modus operandi" of the Machine, any one of the proprietors would have taken pleasure in satisfying his curi osity and given him a very different esti mate of its merits from that published. We cannot suppose there was a disposi tion to misrepresent the ''Machine,'' but his examination must have been very has ty and unsatisfactory, as the operation of sewing is as dift'erent from his statement as light and darkness. As regards the ins cription, this is sufficiently accurate. The Machine cannot sew with a sin"le thread," as stated, but two threads are used in all cases, ine "seam' is more uniform and substantial than can be made by hand, and when the threads are broken or cut, it is more difficult to rip than any sew ins; we have ever seen. As regards cutting a thread and drawing it as retires . . a . ented, we assert that it is not possible to draw it to the length of a quarter oi an inch. The stitch mostly resembling it is the Shoe and Harness makers, and we have no doubt that it will in a short time be ad vantageously used in the manufacture of saddlery. It is so customary to cry 'humbug' in re gard to anything new, that it is very diffi cult, by any newspaper notice, to bring a valuable invention fairly before the public. We assert that we can prove, that this is of real value, and will accomplish all that has been stated in our advertisements. Mr Barr, who is a practical Tailor, has been using it with the most satisfactory re sults, and one of the proprietors, in the present month, has seen in New York some thirty or forty Machines in suc cessful operation, worked by girls al most entirely, and making all sorts of garments, from the thickest to the thinnest material, in the best manner. We have bought the patent for this State, and an Agent will visit many counties duriu this summer with the view of effect ing sales, when the public will have an op portunity of testing the merits of our Sew- ng Machine. THE PROPRIETORS. In justification of our former statement, we must say that what we asserted in regard to the cutting and drawing of the thread, tee saw, and could not be mistaken in it. Others saw it also, and will affirm it. We certainly had then, nor have now, no de sign to injure the sale of the Machine, and as we shall visit Wilmington probably in a few days, we will give " the proprietors" a fair oppor tunity to upset what we have said if they can; and we shall retract if they convince us we are The Cosdex Murder. We learn from a gentleman who came up yesterday afternoon from Charleston, that the full particulars of this most brutal murder have at length been developed, & that the fiends who were the principal actors are among the persons now confined in the Chester town jail.

Jr. Cdalitionist, by 1,000 pfarality. Kantoul is' a professed Oemo crat, and is the man who disgraced him self by taking the nine day's seat in the' United StateV Senate at the hands of tht Coalitionists. ln tlWourfh District! Mr Thompson. Whig, delcats Palfrey by 100 to 150 votes. The few returns received" from the Seventh District indicate the election of Bishop, Coalitiott Democrat, over Goodrith. Whig. The General Assembly of the Presby terian Churches of the United States met in St. Louis on the 15th instant. The following Synods' w;ere represented : Ner York, New Jersey, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, Ten nessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi. The Rev. E. P. Humphrey, of Louisville, was chosen Moderator, and the Rev. W. D. Howard, of Penrr., Clerk pro tern. On the 19t!i u It., the Generaf Assembly voted to meet next time at Charleston, S. C. Charleston was selected after a long discussion and by a large majority. The New School General Assembly, which met at IHica, New York, had an animated debate on the slaverv rttiestion. on the 21st inst., and paused the report of the committee on that subject, refusing to iniei lere witn the. question at all. Chooks AN McHhidk. It appears that the citizens of Guilford County are not yet relieved from the abolition preachers. A large mass meeting of the people took place in Greensboro', on the 20th wit. to adopt measures to get rid of them, at which the following Resolution was adopted: Resolved, 1 hat a committee of five be appointed to notify Adam Crooks and Jesse JYIcBride, persons who are said to be em issaries of Abolition Societies at the North, immediately to leave the county, and that if they fail to do so, they must abide by the consequences. A committee was appointed in pursu ance of the above, bet we have not yet learned the result. The publie will be at a loss which to admire most the patience and forbearance of the citizens of Guilford, or the audacity of these clerical 'ruffians. Commercial. The Cresson Case. It is generally known that that Mr Warden Cress tm, of Philadelphia, while in Jerusalem, embraced the Jewish religion. On his return he was, at the instigation of his fmily indict ed before a jury of six persons, who re turned a verdict that the said W. Cresson was insane, ordering his property to be placed in the hands of commissioners ap pointed for that purpose. Mr Cresson, justly aggrieved at this decision, carried his case before the Court of Common Pleas. In this court, the case has been pending before Judge King for the last five days; .numerous depositions having been taken on both sides. After the charge of the Judge, the jury retired, and in an hour returned a verdict, "That the said Warden Cresson was perfectly sane and fully capable of managing his own affairs." Two boys, named Patrick J. White and John Cokely, were brought before Justice Rogers at Boston, on Tuesday, as truants from the Quincy School, and were each sentenced to six months imprisonment in the House of Reformation. On the day previous, John O'Brien aged 10, had been sentenced one month for same offence, with an intimation that if brought up again, he would be sentenced perhaps during his. minority. The Oswego Journal says, that from fifteen totwenty fugitive slaves pass through that city weekly to Canada. They are often nearly destitute, and depend upon the charitv of the colored people for food and lodgings.
