The subscriber having purchased the Right of the alxive Machine for the Counties of Cumlerland and Harnett, is now ready to furnish such as may be desirous of obtaining a Right. The machine is simple, both in its structure and operations, and should any portion of it fail, can be easily and speedily repaired by any person having the use of tools. I do not claim for this machine more than what it is able to perform with that description of labor which almost cvery family is able to supply, without at all interfering with ti e ordinary duties. In the first place a child 12 or 15 years of age can perform all the labor, after having seen it operate a few times, and if the direc tions are adhered to, will do as much work in one day as three or four women in the ordinary way. and the work will be much better done.

Wo have the men and the catiital to do it if it r.. i .

Soan mav be made di- I rectly from the seed by boiling it in the alkalies; oils may be extracted in n pure state, with a full yield and free of coloring matter, without the costly method of compression; and Yvhen extracted the seed may be distilled, as it has the essential properties, containing 11 percent. of grape sugar, thus displacing so much grain of use for food. The railroad office of this citv lights its office from gas made from cotton seed cake. The seed itself is richer for the purpose. "No one item of residue, going to waste in this country, will compare in utility and value to cotton seed; and, with a little attention on the part of those inteiested ami capable of ap preciating it, the South in a few years mav reap fifty millions annually of net receipts from working it up. A recent number of the "Scientific. American" says that when cotton sold for six cents per pound, a large amount of it was used for making paper. The waste cot ton fibre is equally as good for ti is purpose, and can be .secured by the use of machinery, as supported by me in the May number of the "Tennessee Farmer and Mechanic." In paper, oils and son), the South can thus beat, the world in quality mid value, if it ( house." ..Xy-i-- aa- Our readers are already aware that pan)r has been established in this city for the purpose of manufacturing rope aud yarn from the fibres of the bark of the cotton plant. The terms of the charter of the manufacturing com pany leaves it open to them to devote their at tention to other branches of manufacture also; and it would appear peculiarly fitting that they should enter upon such as may spring from sources so closely allied to nay to a certain extent identical with that to which they have particularly resolved on attending. We would therefore invite their attention to the enormous revenue which it is alleged upon apparently conclusive grounds, may be netted from produce of the cotton plant at present thrown aw:nr as refuse. The seed, produces, as Air Conkling says, one of the most valuable oils, both for illumina ting and lubricating purposes, ranking in both respects equal to sperm oil The proportion it yields is said to be SO per cent, and the 10 per ' cent, residue is all good oil cake. The total quantity of seed being 2,239,800,000 pounds,' the oil produced would amount to 071,940,000 pounds, the oil cake to 1,507,800,000 pounds. Estimating the value per pound of the oil to be not more than that of the cheapest grease, it would be worth $07,194,000; and valuing the cake at one half the rate at which other oil cake soils, that would lie worth 7,839,300. Here, then, estimating values at extrava gantly low rates, we have a revenue of S 1 3", 000,000 literally being thrown away yearly. Allow that one half of it a preposterously large proportion should be swallowed up iu the course of manufacture, and still there would be sixty-five millions and. a half left for net profit- The Manufacturing Company have already directed their attention to yet another product of the cotton plant, as we commenced by re marking; but it appears that this, too, is ex tremely valuable for paper making purposes, as well as for those to which thev appear more j particularly intending to direct it. We would ! invite their attention, as well as that of our j readers generally, to the subjoined remarks ! from the New York Day Book, tin this point: j Specimens of the bark stripped from cotton stalks have been exhibited to paper manufac turers at the North, and were considered equal to good rags worth six cents per pound, or about $120 per ton, atid were pronounced the best substitute for rags of any raw vegetable material known to the trade. The magnitude of the paper business my be conceived when vc take into consideration that there are 750 paper mills in the JJnited States, employing 3000 engines, and which produce annually at 10 cents per pound, $27,000,000 worth of paper. To manufacture this amount of paper requires 405,000,000 pounds of rags, 1 pound of rags being uecessary to produce 1 pound of paper. The value of the rags at the average of 4 cents per pound, amounts to $16, 000,000, to which, if the cost of making them into paper, including 1 cents to each pound of paper iu labor, with wastage, chemicals, &c, be added, would swell the cost to 23,625,000 to produce $27,000,000 of paper, leaving net profits on the total manufacture of $3,375,000. For the year ending the 30th of June, 1855, we imported 400,003,516 pounds of foreign rags, from twenty-six different countries. Of this amount Tuscany, in Italy, supplied 14,000, 000 pounds. Two Sicilys 6,000,000, Austria 4.000.000, Egypt 2.446,92b, Turkey 2,46b, 928, England 2,591,178. The total ralao ol the 40,013,516 pounds imported was 1,2-0,-150. The manufacture of paper has outstripped Ku cnrmlu'if ,rafiria's find rOD6 cuttings, hemp waste, and othfer articles have been-rcsocUicltoj but the supplies of all have been insufficient to meet the demand, ami prices have been steadily 011 the advance. It is possible that the cotton fields of the South may supply an almost inex liatisfablc supply of hemp, so that hereafter wc shall re.ich'the great desideratum in modern civilization, an abundant and cheap supply of paper. A Itirli Scene iu Court. We find the following; rather amusing ami suggestive sketch in the Yicksburg Whig of the 7th inst.: We are indebted to the facile pen of a distinguished legal friend, one who has a kecrt appreciation of the ludicrous, for the following rney account of a rich settic 'that ecnrrctl at the recent term of the J -rvn'AKk AtSrenit Court. It is only iicce?s;!ry ip l&f-id that "Tenuef.see" passed ';Utfth.iiMrity'!th-dayH since on bis way to the Capitol ".of I lie : State", "where he has already entered uiku t he discharge of his duties i in one of the public institutions: At the lust May term of the Circuit Court of Issaquena county, the trial of the noted raftsin-in and swamper, heretofore Hon ri slung under the .v7v-maiilike soubriquet of "Tennessee," for shooting, with intent to kill, a certain English man, was had. Its developments, particularly after the prisoner was found guilty, and bis Honor Judge Yerger asked "Tennessee" what he had to say why the sentence of the law should not be passed on him, were rich and racy to an unusual degree. This colloquy ensued : Judge Yerger Prisoner nt the bar, stand up. You have been tried br a jury of your own selection, and found guilty of a high crime that must send yon to the Penitentiary. What have you to snv why the sentence of the law should not be passed? Prisoner I admit, Judge, that I shot the man, but he lies when he says I was laying behind a log when I done it. I was squatted down behind some high grass, and shot at the bulge of him with my rifle. Yon see, Judge, he had no coat or 'spenders on, and his shirt stuck out 'bove his britches. I made the worst shot I ever made in iny life. I am one of the best rifle shots in the swamp; never miss a bar, hog, turkey or deer. I was very much skecred when I shot and trimbled a good deal, or I would have kilt him; and I shot at the bulk of him. 1 did it in self-defense, and always said so. lie called my wife bad names, shot a pet pig we had, that my wife loved very much, and threatened to kill me. I'm a naturalized native-born native American, and lie's an Englishman, and I had a right to shoot hint; he can't vole; ami I shot him in self-defense. If you'll just let me off this time, Judge. I'll lake a Bible oath right here never to shoot! any body in this State. 1 never did shoot any Just let rue off t fiTs time, mm i com- ! .,.,,1 ,.,. ...... .: nit r ill , UV.M1 1 Judge Yerger You made a most fortunate shot iu not killing the man. Tennessee Judge, I was badly skerrcd. I. could have killed a squirrel every shot. I'm the best rifle shot iu the swamp, but you see I shot at the bulge of him. Just let me off this time, and I'M take a Bible oath never to do so again. Judge You were fortunate in not killing your intended victim. Hud you done so, you would have been guilty of murder. Such.' depravity as the evidence shows on your part, is rarely witnessed in a court of justice, aud imperatively dem ands that you shall have the heavy hand of the law placed on you, as a punishment for the high crime you have been guilty of, and as an admonition and warning to others. In this maimer the laws are vindicated, and public justice established and venerated. The sentence of the court is, that you be imprisoned in the Penitentiary of this State for' the full end and term of ten years from this day. Prisoner Lord a 'mighty!. Judge! can't yon let it down a little. 1 have suffered mightily in jail; just let it down a little, and I'll never shoot anybody again; I'll tako a Bible outh I won't. Judge Sheriff remand the prisoner to jail, I to await the demand of the keeper ot the Penitentiary. Exit, Tennessee, in tears, JCtnDF We learn, says the Raleigh Standard, that Gov. Bragg, is more than sustaining his high reputation as a debater in the Eastern part of tiie State. His speech at Jackson, Northampton, on the 9th instant, i.s represented to have been one of the ablest and most effective efforts of his life; and u friend writes us as follows of his speech in Murfreesborough, on the 10th : "A large crowd greeted the Gubernatorial" candidates iu this place on the 10th. Gov. Bragg, fully sustained his reputation as an able and eloquent speaker. His address of two hours was a lucid train ot argument irrefutable and irresistible. We were delighted with him, aud look for his re-election by a largely increased majority. Several gentlemen who heard Gov. Bragg's exposition, of Know Nothingi.'in, declared that every word was true.
