The subscriber havinsr purchased the Tlio-ht of the above Machine for the Counties of Cumberland 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 aide to perform with that description of labor which almost every family is able to supply, without at all interfering with tbe 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 lour 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 have in use one of these machines ISHAM BLAKE. April 12, 1S56. 93-tf Fayettkville, N. C. April 0. 1856. We. the undersigned, having purchased of Mr lsham Blake one of tbe alove 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 far exceeds our expectations, 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 generally used wherever introduced, ' D.

" Curiosities f Thunder Storms The peculiarities of that terrible but mysteri ous agent, lightning; are made the subject of an interesting paper in a recent number of the British Quarterly Review, from which we con dense some of the most prominent statements. Two clouds are not necessary for the production of lightning,' which is frequently discharged from a solitary clump of-vapor, when a connec tion can be established with the earth. A French Academician, named Morcolle, de scribes a case where a mere cloudlet," about a foot in diameter, killed a poor woman by drop ping a thunderbolt upon her head. It has been shown by Faraday that the-electric fluid con- tatnea in a sinsric nasn mignc per nans he sun-' pHetl bYhe"0gItw'',ll " """f' l"r'1' "Walef "uToiVe, M. Arago has divided the light ninar into three sorts. The first includes those where the discharge appears like luminous lines, bent into angles and zigzags, ana varying in complexion from white to blue, purple or red This kind is known as forked lightning, because it occasionally divides into two branches. Car pentiers relates a case where a flash severed into three forks, each of which struck on points several hundred feet apart. Still more numer ous furcations have been reported, for it is said that during a tempest at Landeineau and St. Pol de Leon, twenty-four churches were struck, though only three distinct claps were heard. This was eight churches upiece for the three explosions! The second class of lightning differs from the first in the range of surface over which the flash is diffused, and is designated as sheet lightning. Sometimes it simply gilds the edges of the cloud whence it leaps; but at others it floods with a lurid radiance, er else suffuses its surface with blushes of a rosy or violet hue. The third class of lightning are remarkable for their eccentricities, and have been made the subject of considerable contention among the meteorologists, many of whom have denied their right to be treated as legitimate light nings, they differ so widely from the ordinary sort of flashes. They exhibit themselves as balls or globular lumps of fire not momentary apparitions, but meteors which take their own time, and travel at remarkably slow rates. It is this iucelerity which gives them their doubt ful character, as an electrical bolt is supposed to be one of the leading emblems of velocity. Among other anecdotes related of this kind of lightning is the following incident, which oc curred to a tailor in the Rue St. Jaqnes, Val de Grace, about the year 1843. M. Rabinet was commissioned by the Academy of Sciences to investigate the. facts, and reported substan tially as follows: After a loud thunder clap, the tailor being finishing his meal, saw the chimney-board fall down, as if overset by a slight gust of wind, and a globe of fire, about the size of a child's head, come out quietly and move slowly about the room, at a small height above the floor. The tailor said it looked like a good sized kitten rolled np into a ball and moving without show ins its paws. It was brijrht and sliiiiinr. but he felt no sensation of heat. The globe came near his feet, like a young cat that wants to rub itself against Its master's legs; but by moving them aside gently, he avoided the con tact. It appears to have played for several seconds about his feet, he bendins his bodv over it and examining it attentively. After trying some excursions in different directions, it rose vertically to the heicrht of his head. The globe elongated a little, then steered to wards a hole in the chimney above the mantel piece, which hole received a stovepipe in winter, but was now pasted over with paper. 'The thunder,' be t,aid, 'could not see the hole;' bnt nevertheless, the ball went straight to the aperture, removing the paper without hurting it, ana made its way info the chimney. Shortly afterwnrds, and when he supposed it had time to reach the top, it made a dreadful explosion, which destroyed the npper part of the chimney. and threw the fragments on the roofs of smaller buildings, which they broke through. The tailor's lodgings was on the third story; the lower ones were not visited at all by the thunder-bolt. Lightning, when it meets with an obstruction in its course, frequently shatters the non-conducting object, dispersing and bursting sub stances asunder in every direction, as if they had been charged with gunpowder. The stone pinnacle of a church in Cornwall, was struck by lightning, and one fragment weighing three hundred pounds, was hurled sixty yards to the southward, another four hundred yards to the north, and a third to the southwest. In 1838 the top gallant mast of II. M. ship Rodney was literally cut up into chips by a flash of lightning, the sea being . strew u with the fragments as if the carpenters had been sweep ing their shavings overboard. Sometimes, in striking a tree or mast, the electric fluid will slice it into shreds or filaments, so that it will appear like a huge broom or a handle of laths. Lightning bolts will occasionally dash throngh resisting objects by tearing great openings, as in a Cornish church, where apertures were made in the solid wall of the belfry fourteen in ches square and six inches deep, and as truly regular as if cut out by art. In other instances small holes are drilled, which are surprising for their perfect circularity of form. Window panes have been frequently pierced in this fashion, without affecting the rest of the glass. In forming these apertures, a burr or projection is left upon the edges. Juvenile electricians are in the habit of making holes in cards by passing discharges through them, when a burr or projection will be observ ed on both sides of the orifice. Sometimes a single discharge will produce two holes in a card, each puncture marked by a single burr, one on the upper aud the other on the under side of the card. In some instances the results are such as to suggest that a flash may be split up into several fiery filaments before it strikes an object. In 1111 a weather-cock of tinned copper was hurled by a thunder-bolt from the top of a church iu Creniouia, and, upon inspec tion, was found to be pierced- with eighteen holes: in nine of them the burr was conspicu ous on 6ne side, and in nine it was equally pro minent on the other while the slope of the bnrr was identical in all. - , , . Among the curiosities of lightening are what is termed 'fulgurites," or tubes, which the lightning constructs when it fulls upoii a siliceous spot, by fusing the sand. Thevmav le called cast, 0f thunderbolts; In somehiiloi ks of land in Cumberland, England, these hollow tubes have been found from one-fifth to two inches in diameter, tapering perhaps to a mere point. The entire extent of. the tubes may he thirty feet,. but they usually separate into numerous branches and have the appearance of the skele ton of an inverted tree. They . are lined with glass, as smooth and perfect as if it had been made iua glass house. Lightning will also vitrify the surface of rocks and (Fuse metals. In 1837 several links of the iroujcable of an American packet ship were melted, and the glowing drops falling upon the decV. set tire to everything they touched. It would scem too, that lightning can liquify metajs without harming or even singing more fragile materials connected with them. A ristotle o" afiirms that money has been fused in a nurse without burning the latter. It is a capricious meteor, and the pranks it plays are sometimes perfect I v' inexplical ; A mau in Cornwall was once struck bv a bolt which burned the sleeve of his shirt and also of his coat . to cinder, without frizzling or even 'damaging the outside of the coat in the least. Hails of electrical matter, capable of firing combustible objects, have been seen to issue from the $ea, or to drop into sheets of water, without pp,oducnig any hissing sound, or occa sioning any symptoms of ebullition. As illustrative of the power of lightning to magnetise petals, it is related by Arago that the tools of a shoemaker in Swambia were thus treated, amine had constantly to be freeing his hammer, pitchers, .and knife from the nails, needles, and iawls, which were constantly get ting canght lf them as they lay upon the bench. Xearly two ctuturies ago a couple of English ships were sailing from Loudon to Barbadocs. One of them was struck with lightning, and suddenly the c&ptaiu of the snffering ship was observed to nltr his course and turn his prow, as if making for England again. His consort inauired the reason, but found the whole crew were still proceeding to Barbadocs, as they firmly believed! - A careful inspection showed that the poles of the compasses had been com pletely reversed by the lightning. Rottenness ok Hireling Communities. We are pleased to learn that Professor Wm A. Smith has been lecturing iu the portions of Eastern Virginia on the subject of slavery: especially pleased that he defends slavery on principle contends that the slave relation is the normal and natural condition of society and that shivery is a necessary social and politi- cal institution. This involves the necessity of i extraordinary inconsistency, tins same Mr iill inaintaining that society, without this patri- is ow the " member of a secret political archal element, everywhere proves a failure in j society, regularly inducted under the auspices the long run. This" we learn, he does with ! o!' a dark-lantern, and presents himself to the boldness and great ability. Slavery can only be defended by showing that even the compara tively . partial anu snortnveu experiments in Western Europe to dispense with it have been a tailure, and lias placed tne - emancipated laborer in a worse condition than if he were a slave in law as well as fact. Xo one can doubt this fact who will examine history and statistics. Systems formed on such opposite principles as slavery and universal liberty, cannot both be right cannot both endure. It has been less than three 3"cars since the utter rottenness of hireling society was first an nounced Til the South. Tlie announcement has met with no contradiction, much less wi'.h any serious attempt at refutation aud now, one of : our ablest Professors and most gifted Lecturers, j ooenlv maintains and promulges the doctrine in i publie addresses. I I question, ; lading it quivalent ' The IS orth evades and shirks the bnt will not lie aole to persist in ev; mucli longer, it. so Happens mat an equivalent ' assertion has been made by all the Abolitionists : who are all Socialists -and as such, in fa vor ; of the subversion ami reconstruction of society. ' It. is true thev include slave society in their ; schemes ol relorni, anu insist mat it is also a. failure. But their admissions are good evi dence only against themselves. Their testimo ny as against us is altogether hearsay, aud utterly invalid aud worthless.. BrxwER Lytton to the Schoolboys. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton addressed an eloquent speech to the scholars of Bishop Stortford High School at the annual festival last week. 11c- urged them to that desire of high aspirations, and spoke of: distinction which led the rank and file of the British soldiery up the heights ; huge beast, who far from being exhausted, car of Alma: "They did not hear the roar of the j ried his boat away again with even accelerated cannon, to whose very jaws they marched on ' speed. After a long and exciting chase, the with unflinching tread; they only heard the j captain returned with his prize, which is re whisper at their hearts, 'and if we do our duty j ported to measure sixteen feet from fin to fin this day, what will they say of us in England V i across and nearly forty feet in length- It is Ay, and when a boy sits down resolutely to j expected that the carcase will be forwarded up his desk puts aside an idle pleasnre, faces i to the city to-day, in order to convince all every tedious obstacle firmly bent upon honor-' able distinction, it is the same elevating senti ment which whispers to him 'and if I succeed what will they say of me nt school?' or, a dearer- motive still, 'what will they say of nie at home?' Boys,, when I look at your young faces, I could fancy myself a boj- once more ! I go back to the day when I, too, tried for prizes, sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing. I was once as fond of play as any of you; and, in this summer weather, I fear my head might have been more full of cricket than of Terence or even Homer; but still can remember that, whether at work or at play, I had always a deep though quiet determination that, sooner or later, I would be a somebody, or do a some thing. That determination continues with me to this day; it keeps one hope of my boyhood fresh, when other hopes have long since faded away.. And now that we separate, let it be with that hope upon both sides ou my side, upon yours that, before we die, we will do something to serve our country, that may make us prouder of each other; and, if we fail there, that at least we will never wilfully and con sciously do anything to make us ashamed of each other.

Hr Fillmore against Secret Societies. Mr Fillmore is now a member of, and an avowed advocate of secret political societies, lie is a sworn, third degree Know Nothing. About, the time he wrote his Erie letter, he was ginger and mustard against all secret societies, and, strange to say, ou the around that he feared thev would connect themselves with political parties ! He made furious war on the Free Masons, upon that very ground. Xo more forcible speeches against political associa tions can any where be produced than those de livered m iMitlalo iykir JMllniore, when a can didate of the anti-Masonic party in 1828. He then subscribed to the following sentiments : 3. "The institution (Masonry) is at war with the spirit of our free government, hostile to all equality ofjrights and an impassable 4. " lhe equality ot rights, which trie Con stitution expressly, guarantees, cannot exist whilst a secret society shelters its members, and the ascendancy of lawcand good order cannot be maintained in thtcommuuity while an ex tensive and influential body of men claim anti exercise the power of imposing and enforcing obligations which must soon come into direct collision with the laws and duties of society." 5. "It is vain to temporize and palter with our duty. If we wish to .destroy the baneful influence of Masonry (a secret society) we must withhold our votes from thosa who support it. We frankly acknowledge that in some cases personal and political friendships render this dutv painful and difficult to perform ; but as henest and faithful citizens we are bound to sacrifice oar predictions for individuals to the safety and success of the important principles we have espoused, and why should we startle at a measure in defence of our lights, which our opponents have successfully used to usurp them V G. " They are bound by oath 'to vote for a brother before any person of equal qualifications,' and 'to support his military ..and political pre ferment iu opposition to another.' Is it not necessary in self-defence to resist this alarming conspiracy"? Can we shut our eyes to the fact that ambitions and designing men have attach ed themselves to this institution to obtain that preferment of which they were undeserving ? When it shall become well established that Masonry (a secret society ) has ceased to afford its votaries superior advantages for political objects, the great inducement that now sus tains lhe institution wiM be lost." Such is the strong language employed by' Mr Fillmore iu attacking the charitable and bene- I volent institution of Masonry and, with a most American people as the candidate of that parly for the Presidency. We say nothing of-the proscriptive and blighting principles of the ' Enow- Nothing party, w hich claims and exer- i cises tne power oi enforcing oniigauons inai I must conflict with the Constitution and laws, j To prove the pliableucss of Mr Fillmore, it is j sufficient to point to the fact that the once bit- j ter assailant of Masonry, which has nothing to ! do with politics, on account of its secrecy, is now the head and leader of a secret piditicul j party, that would destroy civil equality and re- ; ligimis liberty. " I I A Fish Stokv. The Mobile Daily Register, of Thursday last, vouches for the truth of the following exciting sporting incident : " To thousands of our citizens, the enormous size, and occasionally large number, of 'Devil size, anu occasionally large uuinuer, oi uevu Fish,' seen at or about the mouth of our big bav, are quite familiar, and one of the bigge?t became yesterday the prey of an indomitable hecafnc vesterdav the orev sea hunter. Capt. Trelethen, of the ship Robert Parker. While on board, or alongside the ' Col. Clay, near the fleet, the captain espied 1 somn thre or four of these monsters of the deep, and hastening to get his harpoon, pro- ceeded in chase of the largest. With the prac- tised aim of a whaler, he drove the harpoon through him, and the wounded leviathan leaped high iu the air before he darted off with the captain and his clipper-built gig rushing through the water at an awful speed. "After a chase of some ten miles, the har poon drew out, but the brute marked his place in the water by his blood, and evjn returned upon his trail, but the captain, having spliced his weapon, again drove it securely into the sceptics that, save in the simple and unusual matter of truth, this is no fish story. A Specimen of tub Expelled Caltforxia Thieves. -The Xew York Tribune of Satnrday says: , ' A singular case of robbery on the steamer Illinois has been brought before the authorities. Three, men were on board .who were charged with robbing a lady passenger, a Mrs Harrison, of a large amount of money. It appears from the facts stated by the captain, that two of tbe three men had been ordered to leave San Fran cisco by t lie noted Vigilance Committee. On their arrival at Panama, by mingling freclv with the passengers, they ascertained who had valuable property in their possession, and then took tickets for rew lork. Among the sengers spotted by these fellows, was Harrison, who had missed her husband on transit. They got access to her ba""-a"-e plundered it of a large sum of money. pas Mrs the and The the lady discovered her loss, . and applied to captain, who instituted a general search, when the property was discovered iu the possession of the suspected persons. It was proposed to hang the trio at the forcyard arm, but by the firmness of Capt. Boggs this last resort was avoided, and the prisoners ironed. Yesterday they were committed for examination. The dwelling of the editor of the Georgia Citizeu, at Macon, Georgia, was destroyed by fire last Wednesday. 4 : The Savannah papers state that Habersham's rice mills' were destroyed by fire early on Sat urday morning. Over twenty thousand bushels of rice were either burnt up or injured.- 1 Capital nil. The best thing we have heard this year, in a political way, occurred at Meadville a few days since. Ono'of the libick Republican editors of that rural town who, last year was very hostile to the Pope, and fully persuaded that 'Ameri cans ought to rule America," met a German acquaintance in the street, aud accosted him something iu this wise: " Well, John, I suppose you are going to give Fremont a vote this year." John studied a moment and cocking one eye, as much as to say, "do you see anything green there," replied that he had no vote to give Fremont. "Why, how is that?" queried our editor friend. " Because," replied John, "I haven't bce here Jong enough.".... "Xot long enough? Why how long have "Oh about ten years."

The Egyptians fondly conceived (reader, pity them, and praise God that thou art better informed) that the soul, even after death, like a grateful guest, dwelt in the body so long as the same was kept sweet and garnished, but finally forsook it, and sought j out a new body, if once the corpse was either carelessly neglected or dcspitefully abused ; and i therefore to woo the soul to constant residence in ineir uotues, cat any rate co give ltt no wil- j ful distaste or cause of alienation,) they were so ' prodigiously expensive, both in embalming their dead and erecting stately palaces for their' - monuments. The long-lasting of these pyramids is not the . least of admiration belonging unto them. They i were born the first, and do live the last, of alf the seven wonders in the world.

An immense' crowd was assembled, on Tuesday afternoon, on) the bridges and quays of the Seine, to witness the movements of a well dressed man, who was walking on the river between the Pont da C.i-'. rousnl and the lock at the Mint, apparently with the greatest ease. He had each foot in at small triangniar box, securely fastened with straps round his legs, and in his hands he car ried a long bataneiHg pole, similar to those used by rope dancers, except that at each emf was attached a large inflated bladder.
