Elizabeth City, Aug. 30.r :' Editoes Joxjenai. : Thirty days ago I wrote you from this place,' and I am really glad to see the im pi l ement of the city developing so rr r i lly. The work on the new court bouse is progressing finely a ware Lor.se that was under wayjthen is finished and occupied, two others are going up at a good speed, and e v i d ences of prosperity - are quite visible at every turn. ; - i. .- e There was a small fire here a few days ago, and T. met " Gen.

The-people speak very highlyh of it, - and physicians say it has a very fattening, tendenT cy, which is good foi enfeebled per sons and debilitated systems. Be ing made from pure hops and malt, tins must De tne ease This city has the prospect to-day of becoming the" most noted place i n the world, and one of its citizens 1 la'T the distinguished inventor, of the crown j : .

Price, jr. of this invented, patented, and constructing a cotton picker, success, will render his name famous and his parse very plethoric. It is the most complete piece of mechanism I have - ever, seen. A stock company has been formed for the purpose of making an experimental machine and test ing it thoroughly : before offering rights to manufacture it. . A de scription would hbe elll nigh im possible, but suffice it to say it is a machine: about the -size, and has much the appearance of the larger class of wheat threshers. It is to be drawn by two horses attached to it, but not connected. with each other,; a driver sits-up in front and performs six. different offices; two boys stand on the back platform, one to take away any trash . that may be passing along the elevator, while, the other ; bags the cotton; ties the sack and chucks it off in the rear. - The - horses pass down the alley between the rows, shield ed from contact with the weed by a contrivance of . paper, snfrrounding them and passing out before eacn one, . much ; after- the - manner of a cow-catcher to locomotive..The picker strides the row to be picked, and by means of eccentric axles can be made to" accommodate the height of the weed. The picking is to be done by means of revolving discs of seven feet diameter, wnicn revolve on a shaft somewhat as the saws.of a cotton gin.; These discs are pro vided with several fingers or. pro jections like unto the.; teeth of a circular, saw of large size, but of course hot so near together. The flat parts, that is the sides of these discs,contain innumerable pointed pins :- near am inch in length, and set at a peculiar angle both as to the plain of the disc and the centre of the radius; of h. these pinsthere will be in an ordinary machine just sixty-eight : thousand.' The fingers or projections will by a forward and upward motion lift the limbs of the weed, brinff them in contact with the revolving discs, and, passing between them, will i be subject to the points of these numlerless pins by means of which the cotton will be drawn from the burr and pressed towards the seat of the pin, as you nut cotton in the ordinary card by milliner asrainst. the inclination of the tooth. At the proper place there is revolving brashes like those of the cotton sin. only much small- pr which will "Dicka the teeth" of the picker, pass the cotton on to an endless band which, will convey it $o the elevator ; this will then pass it up to the top of the machine ex pose it to the; view of the trasher, who will take out any stray leaves that may fall in, as it passes, and then directs 1 it into a hopper with one opening at -the top and two at the bottom ; below, these openings will be suspended a bag to each; by means of a : trap partition the delivery of the ; cotton can :' be changed from one opening to, the other, at the wish of the operator, and as soon as one bag 1 is : full by turning a crank the "delivery is . di rected to the other, so no-time is lost-in putting on bags. . Mr.' Price claims that the picker will pick all , opened boll and in flict no serious damage on the un matured hones,, that the weed in twenty -four hours after the machine has passed over, it will be in . as thrifty condition h as before. ' In company with a practical farmer, I had the" model explained by .; the inventor, we - suggested every , ob stacle and objection either of us could devi-e and each one had been considered by . the patentee and a remedy or a supposed rem edy provided. Mr. Price is 'very. .'sanguine of success l)ut says if this does not meet his expectations, ; he will try again,4 as the subject is not ex hausted I confess all the obstacles were so readily met by him, that I felt that none could prevent, him from succeeding. - The inventor is a man of - only thirty-one years of age, born in Pennsylvania, but has been chiefly reired . at his present home, h He has made several inventions, some of which are patented. - A notable one is a metal row-lock which you can't lose if your boat ! upsets: hand can detach from your boat with the greatest ease, when you wish to. Another was a rudder for ships, but an en glish inventor? was just ahead of him . at the patent : office with ? it. r Stilly another whicl? . I rather hope he won't patent,yand that is a hoop to be roUed - by Jsails for boys to play ' "with, although it pleased me so I tried to buy the model. He is energetically pushing the s experimental i cotton picker to completion, to endeavor, to give it a good . trial during the. month of October. " If it proves a success . a large fortune is opened for him and a great blessing to the woi Id at largo. - - h..v: N. S. Hubbs Resolution in Lenoir. Uditoes Jotjenal: I deem itj a superfluous work to bore your in telligent readers' with, a further, ex planation h with reference to the passa ge of the Lenoir resolution endorsing Hon. O. Hubbs for Con gress. , With your permission. I will say, however, that the resolu tion had been voted on and passed, without a dissenting voice, prior to the conversation beiiceeri Mr. Parrotl and myself, to which he refers, and that the chairman had then "va cated his seat, land the crowd in great part had left the court room," and that he was SDeakin? to others as to the propriety " of inserting this technically- irregular transac tion in the proceedings, when Mr. P.'s attention was attracted to the topich'ofh conversation. (I think Mr. P.. knowing the convention had adjourned, was engaged-in conver sation at the time the motion was entertained.) He sternly objected to the" insertion of the. resolution in the report of the proceedings; and, knowing it to be irregular, and knowing, too, that in the very zenith of the proceeding three rous ing cheers were given for Hubbs, and, believing moreover that there was but one O'Hara man in the county," I readily acquiesced in his susrsestion to suppress it in pre- Iparing the proceedings for publica- uon, wmcu x uiu icw uaj ai terwards.the resolution was pub-. lished separatelj', at the instance of many true Republicans, with no view whatever to adding strength to Mr.s Hubbs in this county, but that the voters ot other counties' in the district might know the cause for the omission in the proceedings of , our - convention of an endorse ment, by resolution, of our worthy standard-bearer.-- The resolution, when published, ; was accompanied with a most explicit ; and truthful statement of the circumstances un der which it was passed. . Very respectfully, John W. Collins. Mr. Collins remarked to me, on the 31st ult., that he had sent the Hubbs resolution to the JouenaL for publication, with a statement that it was- passed - alter a motion to adjourn hadUbeen carried, and that, as X Was' absent from 'town, he had used my name as secretary of the convention, to which I re sponded "all 5 right;" and 1 now certify that this version of the whole matter is correct. i-ih"; '; h L. B. COX. -h I certify that the foregoing is a true statement, as I was present and made the motion to adopt the resolution. : V - y -:h--h : - W. J. Tope. New Berne Advertisements. f. R.
