desirous of obtaining a Right. The machine issiuiple.
both in its structure and operations, and should any
portion of it fail, can lie 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 every
familv is able to supply, without at all interfering
with "ti e ordinary duties. In the tirst place a child
12 or 1") 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. Below will be found
a certificate from those who have purchased and now

A Lion Hunt.
N-) Arab thinks of at tacking n lion unless
supported by at least twenty muskets; and even
then, if the lion is killed, it is not till he has
committed serious damage in their ranks. For
a long time they will sillier him to devnsfnto
their donars and cany off their cattle in helpless
resignation. It is not till their losses have
driven them to desperation, that they resolve
on attacking him in his lair, and then they
always choose the day time. Having ascer
tained his lair, and having decided in full con
clave that the attack is to l e made, they as
semble at the foot of the mountain, and in groups
of thirty or forty inarch towards the lair, shout
ing at the top of their lungs. On hearing the
noise, the lion, if young, at once quits the lair;
the lioness docs the same unless she has her
infants with her. Rut, as he does not fly lie is
soon in sight, and a discharge of musketry
brings him down on them like a thunderbolt.
If the lion is an adult he knows the meaning of
th:s noise, which wakes him, and he rises slowly,
yawning and scratching his limbs, rubbing his
sides against the trees, and shaking back his
majestic mane. He listens; and the npproaclw
ing cries cuiise him to sharpen his claws, with
certain premonitory growls. He then stalks
slowly towards the first ledge of rocks which
commands the country, and espying his enemies
from his height, he crouches nu'd awaits. The
Arab who first sees him, t ries, "There he is!"
and deathlike stillness succeed.1, They parrse
to contemplate him, and look welf" to their
arms, while the lion slowly licks his paws and
mane, thus making his toilette de combat. After
a long pause, an A nib advances in front of the
group, Hint ill -.tJoner xjf defirtnee -)ioots, ''Tliwrt
knowest ns not, then, that thou liest before us!
Rise and fly! for we belong to such a tribe,
and I am Abdullah!" The lion, who has before
this eaten more than oue warrior who apostro
phized him in precisely the same terms, contin
ues passing his enormous paws over hisr face to
beautify himself and makes no reply to the
challenge, nor to the epithets of "Jew!"
"Christian!" "Infidel!" liberally bestowed on
j him, until the voices swell into a chorus, which
: makes him impatient. He then rises, lashes
' his sides with his tail, and marches straight to

; flight; the brave remain and a trait his attack --
with muskets ready. He is beyotid their reach

We. the undersigned, having purchased of Mr Isham
Blake one of the above machines, cordially recommend
it to the favor of the Public. It washes very rapidly,
and the work is much better done than is usually done
in the old way, and with less wear to the Clothing.
It tar exceeds" our ex;vetations, and has only to be
seen in operation to satisfy the most skeptical of its
utility and economy. We have no doubt of its being
ixenera'tlv used wherever introduced.

State of North Carolina, )
Office of the Secretary of State. )
Secretarv of State, in and
North Carolina, do hereby
nouade. 1 therefore take the earliest oppor
tunity of acquainting her with the particulars
of it. As my station wtis at Fort Johnson, and
the whole of the engagement was at Sullivan's
Island. I was only a spectator, though I and
every man here declared they longed earnestly
to have been there to have partaken the honor
and danger with their fellow soldiers.
Yesterday about II o'clock the bomb ketch
and a ship-ef-war came up from Five-fathom
Hole, and a signal was fired from the Commo
dore for the other ships-of-war to weigh anchor.
At about 11 the ketch began to favor
Sullivan's Island with some bombs. I could
distinctly see many of them burst in the air.
Five fell iti. the fort at Sullivan's Island, but
did no other damage than slightly wounding
one man. -The Soiebay, of 28 guns, which was
ahead of the line, received a shot from the
Island and immediately returned it with her
whole broadside. The enemy then formed in
two lines to attack the fort on Sullivan's Island.
In the first line the l'ristol of 50 guns, the
Soiebay, of 28, the Active of 28 and a 40-gun
vessel, which 1 am told is called the Roebuck,
(I am not sure of her name, but certain of her
strength, for I could plainly see her guns.) In
the second line was the Syren of 28 and two
otherfrigateswho.se names I do not know;
behind them were the bomb ketch and a heavy
hulk of a vessel something like our Prosper.
A brisk and heavy cannonade was kept up at
first, both from the ships and the fort. Some
shot from the fort put their second line into
disorder, and carried away the bow-sprit of one
of the frigates; and as they were near that
bank of sand which runs out from the fort
towards Sullivan's Island, and then turns
towards Cummin's Point (called- the Lower
.Middle.1) the two ships, whose names I do not
know, ran aground there. The first line of the )
enemy appeared to us at this place to bo about j
six or seven hundred yards from the Island, j
but from them I hear they were within 500 j
yards. All the twenty-six pounders were;
pointed at tlie.Rristol. and about two hours j
after the caniionadintr bentin. she received so t
- - - - - - r-j 3
much damage that she was obliged to draw
back, but still continued to fire, though not so
briskly as before.
At about 3 o'clock the Fort had expended all
its ammunition, (it had thirty odd rounds to
each gun and thirty two guns.) The shipping
still kept up a heavy cannonade; the Fort
could not return it. In about two hours they
got a supply of 20 lbs. of gunpowder from
Tufts', and 500 lbs. from Haddrcll's Point.
They fired again, but slowly and with great
judgment. Night came on, and the cannonade
still continued on both sides, and the greatest
number of our shot (if we may judge from the
noise they made against the sides of the ships)

ships that warped oil" must have received con-;
siderable damage, as in general the shot from I
the Island was exceedingly well placed. The :
Briston's mizzen mast is this moment fallen j
down, doubtless in consequence ol" the shot she :

some parts of the cabin, have floated up to town
so that I believe they have met with a recep
tion they little expected.
The officers and men at the Island, I am in-
; formed, behaved with the greatest bravery:
j and notwithstanding so heavy a canouadc for
ten hours, we had but ten men killed ami
twentv-two wounded. There were only Moul
trie's Regiment, consisting of about .io0 men,
mid thirtv of Roberts' Artillery, in the Forts.
The officers behaved nobly, and pointed every
gun themselves; and what is remarkable,
though there was not a man killed but what
was close to an officer, yet only Lieut. Gray
was slightly wounded bv a splinter from a car-

was killed was a Corporal of Grenadiers. The
rest of the men who belonged to his gun im
mediately threw him off the platform with
their hand-spikes, crying out, "Revenge! let us
revenge our comrade's death!" and immediately
retnrned to their gun with the greatest eager
ness. The enemy shot away the flag-staff, with our
colors. A grenadier immediately ran through
a shower of grape shot and stuck the colors up
on a pike. One McDonald, a sergeant iu
Capt. Frank Huger's company, being mortally
wounded, as they were carrying him away cried
out, "1 am killed my brethren, but don't let
liberty expire with me!" While t his happened
