the - slinple , and conclusive fact. It was-his
dety - as a tiervant of the 'public, to. have tin

naScanty fragments of. news (doled out-with

over him in authority ?. ilas Mr. CYRUS F/ELD

no , official: representative of the .En
eptitive of the. Atlantic: Telegraph Company,
wlio•has a right- to say; "Da SANT; mfgood

:every. noon, and every evening, to let us know
Ito :vt you are getting on, and how, as far as you
1 can ascortaini.they aro getting on at Valentia.
Mind that÷three messages a day, at least."
• Some of•the, newspapers, which really do
' know:nothing; - can know nothing; of the con
dition of the Cable, indulge in various specu
lations. There is an abrasion near Valentia,
says the Times ;Jhe Cable is cut at two hun
dred and Miles distance, says the Liver
,. pool 'Poet ; the defeet in the Cable, says the
; Nen , York Tributle, Is not far from the Va
lentia_end
,and"the NeW York Herald, which
looks on truth
,as the, last thing to be con
sidered, boldly declares " that the Cable, with
theexception of that portion which is within
fou? or five miles of Valentia Bay, and which
is easily reCoyerable for 'repairing, is as perfect
as Ihen - the last meitiago was received from
_Enfilite'd;!'" .
It 'mojt, p,iobable that; after some great
diftienlilas., ere_ overcome,. the: Atlantic Tele

line. t That this will be immediate we scarcely
axpect. ,-- The shore-ends have yet 'to bd af-'
fixed to the'leabbe at `both termini, and that
-destined for TiMity - Bay has not yet been even
shipped 'from England. Even is it is, with
inadequate and make•shift means, messages
and: intelligence have been transmitted along
the line, froMshore to shore. That is enough
to assure; tweet the Ocean Telegraph is a
reality: r

Correspondence of Tho'riess.i '
- Sept : 23, 1858
It * ;is again. stated that Spain seeks to attach to
liar :possessions the rich Spanish Republio of Do
minica. °The"anarohy and - bloodshed that have
ruled there through so many years would make
one feel careless what fate awaited:that'people.
Hayti also, it is stated, has designs upon the inde
pendence of Dominica. Wouldn't it be an amu
sing sight for the world to see the Cates, Pompeys,
and Cresare of Hayti, clad in martial glory, going,
with a rush, upon land and sea, into the priderof
Castili'en' Hidalgos`! "
Spain has upon her hands just now a great many
difficulties. She has difficulties with English bond
holders;with Mexico, and with the United States.
With either of them she can accomplish little in
the way of war.' Then, to revive her ancient chi
valry, there could be nothing better than a bout
with his Serene Magnificence; Fauetin First.
I hear that the disposition toward the United
States of Russia and the neighboring northern
States of Europe is so kindly that a united effort
is being made to secure a °Mier commercial inter
course between them and us.. We have heard of
ship-oanals across the Isthmus of Sues, for more
rapid communication with the East, and a canal
acmes the Isthmus of Darien, to save the long and
tedious voyage around Cape Horn. Now, why
should not there ho''a canal aoross the Isthmus of
Holstein, which 'Will save 'a thousand and more
miles of voyage of our trade toward the Battle ?
The proJoot has equal advantages for Sweden, and
Norway, and Denmark. $80,000,000 of Bahia
trade with Russia is carried now mostly in Eng
lish bottoms. Wo have been, gaining a portion of
that trade, whilst England loses it. Why should
we not have the, most of it ?' The Governments
there are willing, and so are the people. I learn
that this project of a canal has long been in
view, bat that Lord Palmerston intrigued its delay
thus far.- 'ln proper time I shall speak more fully
on the point.
It is curious to notice the avidity with which
news is sought after, of Hickman's and Haskin's
Ounces for meleotion. The speeches of both
these gentlemen have been commented on freely
in every paper in the - South. It does not astonish
me that their manly bearing and honest adherence
to their pledges to the people have gained for
them amongst Southern citizens many sincere ad
mirers.
The excited rhetoric and fierce and arrogant
politics of the speeches of ultra firemmters, made
south of Mason and Dixon's line, are no more tho
reflex of the popular feeling of.even a respect
able section of the
. South, 'than aro the profane
ravings of Wendell Phillips and Garrison the re•
flex of any large portion of Northern communi.
ties Lot fair men eland by the right, and pursue
a conservativelhational course, and these false gods,
who have lived only in the delusion and passion of
a people in great times of agitation, will topple
from their pediments and grovel in the dust.
- All the members of Congress from Philadelphia
are opposed to locating the post office on Chestnut
street, and as their demands, in the preiont condi
tion of things, will have great influence, it is more
than likely that the post office will go to Second
street, however distasteful it may be to the popu
lar fooling of your citizens. It is said that the de
cision will be kept strictly secret, so as to save the
terrible effect it would have against the return of
these members. It should not be forgotten that
the head and front of this scheme is Governor Big
ler. Of course, he has no 'connection with certain
notorious speculators—jobbers in post office print
ing, newspapers, and market houses
The Democratic State Central Conimittee of
Pennsylvania, it would seem, are in a woful con
dition—puckered up, as it were, like a washer-
woman's thumb. Orders have been sent from
here to insist upon the full endorsement of the
Leeempton policy of the Administration, and a full
denunciation of Judge Douglas for standing by
Democratic principles, at the adjourned meeting
of the Committee, which is to be held in your
city on the 25th of September At the meet
ing which was held at Pittsburgh I learn that
there was some hesitation on this question, and
that great °Terme has been given thereby. It is
asserted that the chairman, R. Biddle Roberts,
and other_Western members, aro opposed to any
such endorsement, and that Colonel Young, of
Barks; Cofftoth, of Somerset; Miller, of Dau
phin, and other independent gentlemen on that
committee, feel in the same way ; but tho• Federal
Cabinet has resolved that the whole policy of the
Administration on Kansas, and particularly that
part which denounces Douglas, shall be elaborately
approved. I give you this from headquarters.

Letter from Lancaster
[Correspondence of The Press.]
Mn Barron Mr. David Reese, whose exten
sive, stabling ' was destroyed by the fire of last
Sunday night, and whose fine hotel property was
placed in such imminent danger, has already com
menced rebuilding, and expects .tn have every
-tutus --euuTieted by the commenoement of the
agricultural fair, on the Oth of October next. Ile
intends 'orating brick, fire-proof stabling, which,
it is earnestly hoped, will be a security against
future similar catastrophes. As proof of the en
terprise and energy of Mr. Reese, it is only necea:
easy to say, that notwithstanding the serious in
convenience occasioned by the loss of his stabling,
his business was carried on as usual, without any
suspension or cessation whatever, and not a single
one of his employees was discharged.
The new buildings, when finished, will bo a fine
improvement to this splendid hotel, whioh has
grown eo deservedly popular under the proprie
torship of Mr beets In the meantime, all the
delights of a comfortable home can he found there,
and the choice products of our markets will con
tinue to fill the table with their welcome and at
tractive greeting, and the stranger and traveller
will meet with everything which careful manage
ment and unaffected hospitality can afford.
Davy has hosts of friends, and will soon forget his
losses , in the Increase of patronage which the fall
trade and travel will bring with it.
The Lancaster County Agrieultural Pair, if we
may judge from the preparations being made by
the managers ' will result in a season of more than
usual interest. The ground upon which it will be
held 'oovers an area of about twenty sorts two
acres of which, at least, aro under cover. 'The
tents are strongly built and appropriately ar
ranged, and the stalls for cattle and horses are not
only numerous, but handsomely covered and well
secured, so that exhibitors need be under no ap
prehension in reference to the safety and comfort
of their stook. The enterprising managers are
doing all In their power to make this fair an in
taresting and attractive exhibition.
Tho erection of the buildings and the prepara
tion of the track are under the superintendency
of Gen. Michael R. Wheel], who is determined
that nothing shall be left undone to bring every
thing in complete order and condition. The track
for the trial of the speed of horsey is pronounced
by competent judges to be the best they oversaw.
Some of tho beet stook in the country is expected
to be present, and it is said that there is a common
farm 'horse, which will be brought on the Crock,
something of the order of Sleepy Davy, that will
make bit mile inside of 2 30. lio'vtill be effered for
sale after his speed has been tested. There will be
quite a largo number of competitors for the fifty
dollar premiums, and the contest, no doubt, will
be quite spirited and exalting.
The newly organized company of Jackson Rifle
men made their fourth parade to-day, escorting
the Fenoibles to the Railroad depot on their leav
ing for their excursion to Harrisburg, Reading,
and Philadelphia. The Riflemen and a large body
of men, °proposing almost a regiment in them
selves, are under the command of that ener
getic and well-tried soldier, Capt. Henry A. Ham
bright. Should nothing molar to' interfere with
the harmony of the company, it will make one of
the first in the State. The lieutenants are Meyers.
Cox, Reese, and McElroy. They now parade in
full uniform, -and have all their equipments ex
cept the rifles, which aro expected to be here the
latter end of the present week.
The President was in town on Friday and until
this morning, when he loft again for the oily of
magnificent distances." Ills appearance here
created little or no excitement, and but few per
sons intruded upon the privacy of his chambers at
Wheatland. Time and the heavy duties of his of
fice seem to have made some impression upon him,
as his hair is whiter, and his features somewhat
more careworn than when he left us, a year and a
half ago Various rumors are abroad in reference
to the object of his vhtt to Lancaster—some say
he came on private business ; others, to look after
the interests of a certain candidate for Congress,
while one impudent wag positively insists upon it
that ho came for the purpose of having his razors
sharpened. Bo that as it may, his visit here
was quiet and unobtrusive. Ile called on
few, persons, and few persons called on him, and
neither' his coming In nor his going out was her
alded, by the ringing of belle or the firing of
cannon.
The weather to-clay has been warn) and oppres
sive, the thermometer somewhere in the eighties,
and straw hats and light summer clothing again
made their appearance in our streets. Some per
sons charge the increased heat upon the comet
which has been ssen for acme nights past in our
western horizon. It may be the cause of it, or it may
not, but whether or not, there is no difference of
opinion in reference to the fact that the weather is
oppreasively warm. DIAC.

Calling up the Dead.
Mn, PRESS : I have accidentally soon the Public
Ledger of the 16th instant, in whioh is a loading
artiole commenoing thus :
"Tug MEDICAL EFFECTS Or FOOD. —There died
la V in London a man who contributed as much
to e preservation of the English army in the
Crimea as Lord Raglan did to their destruction,
by his inefficiency. We mean the celebrated Mr.
Ude, known to the world first of all only as a
French cook of the first order, who has published
a very useful and successful cookery book, but
more extensively known in his later days by ye
lunteering to go after the English army to the East
and establish order' in the culinary department.
By this and his receipts for soups, composed of the
Materials furnished to the army, he was the means
of restoring multitudes of the sick, and preserv
ing thousands who would have perished if they
had to know how and to cook their food before
they ate it. Yot Mr. Ude know only something
of the art, find perhaps a mere nothing of the m
enu of selecting the substances that should com
pose our food."
Without being hypercritical, I challenge the
truth of tha above. Monsieur Louis Euatache
Ude, the celebrated cook, of whom a portrait was
given in an early 'volume of Frazer's Magazine,
died over twenty years ago, to my certain know
ledge. Moreover, be never was in the Crimea.
The mutate writer of Alio above quotation pro
bably means not M. Ude, but M. Alexis Boyer,
'irho was in this crime, and died, last month, in

A Voice from "Interior.”
[Correspondence• or Thegross ] -
You must allow me' a few words - more on the
subject - of the Sifironey. First, in reply tii'what
is said in your nannny artiste. ,Do you know that
the non-redeeming banks lend "their own notes out.
at a distance from their please of business?" If
you do not, you have no right to melte the asser
tion;
if you do, it only proves the eruption, not
the rule. Non-redeeming banks cannot force
their circulation; the moment they attempt it
they aro met with jsuspiolon and distrust; the
rates on it will at once go up, and it gathers in the
hands of brokers, who oompel them to redeem it.
buttit is not scwitlf the par banks; it is they that' ,
lend their circulation away from home, the very
fact of its being redeemed in Philadelphia giving
them an unmerited credit and enabling them to
do so. And not only - le it so circulated, but in
tight times you can find it in masses in the hands
of money-lenders, who lend on it, considering it a
good security, from the'very fact that the redeem
vo bank is bound for it, and they can - realize any
moment by deposiling it either in the redeeming
bank or any other of the city banks. Some of
your laity banks have come within a hair of being
swamped in this' way. The Lewistown and Lan
caster banks, I believe, were' in the habit, either
directly or indireetly, of borrowing all round on
their notes, and opntinued to maintain themselves
in that way for a long time, the "suffering com
munity" meanwhile taking their notes freely,
for they were par : finally, the shavers got
frightened and plumped their collaterals into the
redeeming bank, which one fine morning found it
self in for twenty Units the usual balances kept
with it by those banks, and the " suffering com•
munity" found themselves full of the notes, not of
the " rascally non-redeeming banks," which were
at a half per cont. disoouut, but of the tip-top par
issues of the Lewistown and' Lancaster banks,
worth from ten to fifty cents on the dollar! All
this I will undertake to prove, if neoeesarl.
As to what you say about "fixed" and "circu
lating" capital, Sc., it only amounts to a refieetion
on the management of country banks. Now, Mr.
financial editor, give us your illustration—name
your bank. Can you? If not, you are doing gross
injustice—a thing The Press at least should shrink
from. You say the non-redeeming banks are in
partnership with the brokers: again, name your
bank, or stand oonvioted of recklessness to truth.
It is the nar-redeeming banks that deal most with
brokers, for, instead of using their money at home,
legitimately, they keep heavy amounts of it in
" gilt edge" Philadelphia paper, bought at mei.
ous rates, through brokers. This is part of their
polioy, and when a tight pinch (somas, you will find
that very paper, sometimes with their name on it,
hawking about among the brokers, for they are
often in ouch times depending on the sale of this
"gilt edge" - to enable them to keep their accounts
good with the redeeming bank.
You say, " Let people generally understand,"
Why, sir, if you continue to write as reek-
Tessly as you do, "people generally" will "under
stand" that you don't know what you aro writing
about, and don't ears to know either. What with
your two-fold propositions—laxity in collecting—
" fixed" and " eiroulating"mapital—your •' great
faith in our country officers generally," and then
your charge of collusion with brokers—and finally
your advice to the people to believe a wholesale
falsehood, viz : that no bank is safe that does not
redeem—one does not know whioh to admire
most, the practical knowledge you evince of
what you are talking about, or your delicate
regard for truth! I guess your father and
mother must have both been bankers, and im
parted their great wisdom on the subject to you—
especially in the matter of circulation. If the
banks of the State would circulate their notes as
boldly as you eine:late your weighty opinions, and
with so mush regard to justice and propriety, the
dear publio would have the utmost confidence in
their breaking very soon. Redemption would be
beyond their reach, as, I fear, it will be beyond
yours, unless you pay more regard to certain of the
commandments.
There have been no Lewistown' or Lancaster
banks among the non-redeeming. Do you want
further illustration? Look at that grand pile of
stones next door to you, and mark the widow's
sigh and the orphan's tear, as they pass it, and are
reminded of their lost inheritance. Look opposite
to you at that splendid building, the United States
Bank, and perhaps the poor, deorepid beggar on its
steps will tell you it made him such. Magnificent
relies these of your grand currency regulators!
They furnish reminiscences to" the ' , suffering oom
munity,'' not of half per cent. losses, but of hun
dred per cent. losses, and of long suffering and
sold charity. If they had paid more attention to
their own business and less to grand notions about
circulation and currency, they' might have been
a benefit instead of a curse to the AMittlering com
munity."
Can you point to euoh monuments among the
non-redeeming banks? I mean, of Bourse, the old
banks, and don't include the now brood lately put
in operation, and. which are usually discredited,
and will continue to be discredited, unless they
make arrangements - with some of your regulators
4.-vv.av-v-ve ror them, rind by that means and the fic
titious credit it will give them, they aro enabled to
consummate mognifioent awindlos, all round, as
well on the "suffering community" as on the wise
regulator that will redeem for them.
Col. Forney, popular sovereignty "Is appli
cable to boohoos well as Territories, and it would
be quite as Just for you to aid Moen Southern
States to force slavery on Kansas against its will,
as to aid your eighteen city banks in their pre
sent attempt to force tribute from the country
banks. Country bank officers have a right to
"manage their institutions in their own way,"
as the people of Kansas have, and will not submit
to dictation, come whence it may. INTERIOR.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23,18.18.
The examination of Ray Tompkins anl J ohn 0.
Thomreon. on the charge of arson in burning the hos
pitals at Quarantine, was expected to proceed before
Justice Metcalfe, at Stapleton, this mining. Mr An.
thon, counsel for defence, was in attendance at the ap
pointed time, as were the prisoners and two or three
witnesses for deform.
After waiting for Justice Metcalfe for nearly an hour,
Mr. Anthon said he had received *letter from Attor
ney General Tremaine, dated Albany, September 2lst,
in which he states that he has important engagements
at the Albany (limit, and that Air. Peckham, his as
sociate, is engaged in a murder case in Madison coun
ty, and that he, therefore, desired that the examina
tion might be postponed until Thursday of next week
Mr. Ray Tompkins' expressed the opinion that the
prosecution was disposal to back down, but said he
dwelt' insist upon an examination. It was a great
hardship that, having been arrested for arson, a crime
the penalty for which le hanging, ands It the evidence
against hint haying been received and made public, the
evidence for defence, some or width was highly impor
tant at this juncture, should be ao long withheld. If
be was going to be banged, be wanted them to bo
quick about it. The case was, however, postponed.
The trial of F. A. Talimadge, General Superinten
dent of Police, for not repairing to Quarantine on the
morning of the 2d loot , and for neglecting to station a
police force to protect the remaining hospital, was re
sumed this morning. Several witnessee were examined
bat as yet, nothing very Important has been developed;
and the cane bide fair to la at several days.
A gang of counterfeiters has been arrested over in
Brooklyn, who were operating extensively in bo gee
bank notes. Ono of them, named Edward Kane, be.
longs to Philadelphia, and came on hero to operate•
lie had passed, on the day he was arrested, three five
dollar Ws on the People's Bank, of Derby Line, Ver .
moot, another on the State Bank of Montpelier, Ver.
mont ; all of which were altered from the People' s
Bank, of Paterson, New Jersey. Rene was identified,
and fully committed for examination.
Conjecture is rife concerning the ocean steamer
burnt at sea, as reported by telegraph from Halifax
Some of the morning journals express' an opinion that
the unfortunate steamer may be the North Star. This
is not probable. The spot where the burned steamer
was seen is fifteen hundred miles from Sandy Hook.
The North Star left New York on the 11th, and was
thou out only four days, and could not have been so fart
to the eastward by some four hundred tulles.
The Ariel left on the 4th, and was then out eleven
daye; but the latitude, 45 12, le 200 miles to the smith.
ward other course, and 1,200 to 1,800 miles to the week
ward of where the Ariel ought to have been on the 08th
of September. The North Star has double engines, and
two walking beams ; the Ariel has but one engine, and
one walking beam.
The steamer Alps left New York on the 6th Septem
ber for Liverpool. The Canada left Halifax on the
10th for Liverpool. The only miming steamer that we
know of is the Austria, from Bremen via Southampton,
which left that port on the 4th, and has now been out
19 days. That steamer has a red bottom, but not a
welicing beam.
The races, over the Fashion course, will commence
tomorrow. For the tour-mile race, should the weather
continue line we anticipate seeing one of the beet
races ever run in the United Stater:, not less thou three
(Tar River, Plieholas I, and Lizzie McDonald), proba
bly four horses (Slasher for fourth), contending for the
puree and the honore. Mesta McDonald, who, at the
present writing, is in excellent health, and gallops
beautifully, suede the fastest four-mile heat ever run in
Virginia, while Tar River, one of Llzaleie most for
midable competitors, was close up to her, and won the
Wend host, and the race. Lizzie and NichOlas have
frequently run together, and each has beaten the other,
making some of the fastest races on the maim on
which they have run.
Many gentlemen from distant States are already in
town, who have come on expressly to attend the meet
ing, and we are much mistaken if they do not leave
satisfied with the entertainment provided for them. El
The Second Avenue Railroad has the money to pay a
dividend of 2 per cent. in October, and there is no rea•

poorest telegraph or railway station of his whore
layouts and condition. The intense solicitude of
his friends, under the peculiar eironmstances of
his fearful flight, would readily occur to him, and
his first thought should be to communicate with
them and relieve their distressing anxiety. Tho
fateful silence that has intervened bodes anything
but a termination that any of us will like to hear.
Of 001118^, there Is a bare possibility that ho may
have fallen to the earth in a condition so exhaust-
ed that ho may be usable to make anyone' effort.
But this thought is scarcely any less comforting,
for in such a condition, entirely unable to hell)
himself, ho runs every hazard of being left, um
discovered, to die from exposure and starvation.
Ms balloon was unmanageable. Ho cannot regu
late its dement, and it may have dashed
to the ground or in the woods with soh violence
as to break a limb, adding to his Incapacity and
sufferings. All this, supposing that ho was ena
bled to cling to his frail seat from the beginning
to the end of this wild voyage. But it needs only
a moment's reflection to see that, sitting astride
a strip of board less than a foot wide, and clinging
to the silk sides of the balloon, is no easy task
Crrough so long and venturesome a trip—mounting
uo ton height so groat that it makes ono dizzy to
think of it, and sailing shout at the mercy of
every current. It would require , extraordinary
nerve, endurance, and coolness to maintain ouch n
pillion for, at the very least, twonty-four hours.
In our conversation with Mr. Bannister, ho gave
it as his opinion that the gas would sufficiently
exhaust to let the balloon down within the time
named. Ho thinks it would escape—vety slowly,
indeed—from the neck of the vessel, and there
was about thirteen thousand cubic feet of carbu
rotted hydrogen in it at thallium of the second
ascension.
The sky was clear and the atmosphere free from
commotion on that day, which was favorable.
When they first 06010 down at Knight's station,
Thurston complained of feeling sllghtly qualm
ish. Mr. Bannister felt •no disagreeable sensa
tions whatever, but says that when adverse cur
rents aro met, the balloon rocks back and forth,
(musing severe f ea. sick oss, profuse vomiting, ,to.,
until the stomach is emptied. ' This, with the
rarity of the atmosphere at n great altitude, occa
sions severe hunger, and, if protracted, moos!.
totes bodily prostration. So that tbo longer he
remained in the sky, the weaker would the luck
less aeronaut become, and the more likely to re•
lease his hold.
That the balloon came down. as we stated yes.
tertlay, there is no doubt A brakeman who
same up on last evening's train states positively
that it landed on the farm of Joseph Marks, EN ,
municipal councillor for the township of Tilbury
West, four miles west of Baptiste creek, and about
thirty miles from Windsor. Ho further states that
Mr. M. stripped it on Sunday, and took the silk of
which Wilms wholly made into his house. The
balloon was a new ono, this having boon the Erg
time it misused It soot nearly $l,OOO, and was
mode and owned by both the gentlemen who first
ascended. The same authority that collaring the
demerit of the balloon states that it had three
largo rents in different parts of its surface, indica
ting that it must have descended with some vio
mum.
LATEST.—Tho train at 2P. M. brings no new
intelligence, little additional, but all confirma-
tory. The balloon is on tho ground, hos been
visited, and no one was in or near it. The station
master at Baptiste creek now reports that a man
PM soon in the balloon as it came down—a very
Important fact which ho woolly neglected to state
at first, and one which ho would hays boon very
likely to state if it were so. We regatd this as
wholly improbable. He further states that the
balloon was tumbling over and over as it ORM to
the ground, and that it foil on Saturday. It to t en
rnilos oast of Bello river. Thom is left scarcely a
glimmer of hope.

CORN-ThJegiNG MACHINE.—Ono of the most
pat fret machines. of recent invention, that we have
ever seen, is the Corn-flusklng Machine, the invention
of Messrs. IV Pickett and Andrew llfiln of Naugatuck,
Conn. The machine ia of the moat simple construe
tion, and will not be liable to get out of order ; and
should it ever do eo, can be molly repaired. It consists
of a frame-work of wood, about three feet square, and
of convenientheight for rise To a platform on one
s de of the top of the machine, a small circular saw is
attached, to which the caret corn is applied and the
butt of the ear to which the hocks prow Is 'twat:4'y
sawed off nese to the ear. The ear of corn then paesen
into an t.aolin•d grooved rest in the nay of the maw A
revolving cylluder, covered with rows of card-teeth or
potato, and !noticed at the rameangie with the grooved
at, strips the husks from the ear, and the ear passes
d ;we the Inclined groove into n basket or other recepta
le, while the husks are carried off to the side of the
machine by an inclined plane under the cylinder. The
husts are all separated front the cylinder by a cleaner
attached to the frame parallel with' the cylinder, and
left clean and free from butte or stalks.
The machine to portable, and can be easily carried by
one man from place to place in a field, and requires but
one man in working it. A email forco will pet It in ra•
pid operation, and it aan be done with one's foot or
hand, or by any other prop.lling force.
The great advantages of the machine are the rapidi
ty and perfectness with which the work in done. Not
a husk can /tope being stripped off by the cylinder,
and the teeth or point. are placed en near cash other
that none of the kennels will be shelled MT or the ear
Wand. The ear is left perfectly clean, without any
stub or butt. which rrerente the ear from m , ulding
at
the butt, to the injury of the kernel, as it is aura to do
in a short time when the butt Is I ft on.
To large corn-growers this machine will prove Indis
pensable. See advertisement In to•day'a Pease.

(Correspondence of The Press.]
MOUNT Jor, Sopt. 16, 1658
Having been present at the examination of the
students of tho Mount Joy Academy, in the beau
tiful village of that name, in Lancaster county,
and under the able direction of E L Moore, A.
H., principal, and Howard Kennedy, A, M , vita
principal. I thought a brief sketch of the exec
cites might interact such of your readers who have
children and wards to educate, as well as others
who take an interest in the promotion of the great
cause of education There is probably no place
in the State bettor adapted to an institution of the
kind than Haunt Joy, situate as it is on the Frio
of the Central Railroad, and in a region of unsur
passed beauty and fertility, apart from the allure
ments of a populous city or town, and a spot cal
culated, in evely respect, for the training and
education of youth.
The examination took place in the hall of the
Academy, on the afternoon and evening of the
14th inat , in the presence of n large and intelli
gent audience of ladies and gentlemen. The salu
tatory, by R. M. Crain, of Cumberland county,
Pa , a youth of not more than fifteen peered age,
was ably conceived and delivered ; and his ad.
dress in the Latin language would havedonearedit
to a much older bead. "America's Contributions
to the World," by C. P. Angell, of Washington,
D. C , was ingeniously treated and ples.sntly
expressed. "Perpetuity of our Liberties," by
M. Hoopes, of Coemanville, Lancaster cuuuty,
was very creditably handled, and the forcible
and dignified manner of his delivery affardnd
evidence of the germsof a fine speaker. " Utility
of Education," by D. Maher, of Harrisburg, Pa :
"Past and Future," by J. A McKee, of Fayette
pity, Pa., were very creditable compositions. The
recitation of Spartious' address to the Gladiators
at Canna, by O. K. Hambright, of Philadelphia,
was effectively executed, and his conception of the
character, for ono so young, was striking and re
m irkablo. Antony's address, by J. Z. Speer, of
Pittsburgh, would have done credit to a reputed
reader; and his valedictory will not soon be for
gotton by those who hoard it, distinguished as it
was by beautiful imagery and touching pathos.
To notice each separate performance would extend
my letter to an undue length ; but I cannot forego
the pleasure of a favorable mention of J. M. Her
shey, of Dauphin county; J. M. and S. P. Ruther
ford, of Harrisburg ; S. C. Henderson, of Shippens.
burg ; J. S. Hays, Of Oakville; J Long, of Mount
Joy; J. Davis, of California, and W. H. Stock
dale, of Baltimore. all of whom acquitted them
selves with decided credit.
The Mount Joy Academy enjoys a high reputa
tion, and deservedly too, and one of the'best
evi
denocs of the efficiency and ability of the .accom-
Wished gentlemen, who have charge of It, is the
- distance many of the students come to share its
advantages In addition to the teachers named,
there is a professor of music, E. E. Gates, con
nected with the institution; and the high testi
monials he possesses as a musician are confirmed
by the progress that several of the students have
made under hie instruotion..„ A §VACTATOR.

The Buffalo Express bas the following remarks neon
the subject of flour inspection, wh•cb, though familiar
enough to the Initiated, are not without interest to the
people at large :
'• A foolish custom his grown up of late pare in our
market in regard to the inspection of flour. which is
very unwise and calculated to mislead. Flour that
would formerly pars as superfine is now passed as extra.
and that which formerly passed as extra is now passed
as double-extra. We seldom or ever hear of such a
thing; as euperflne flour. We purpose, hereafter, as
'Old Hickory' once said, in our quotations, to call
thinse by their right namen, and not follow the whims
of hope •tore and operators."
And the Commercial adds: •
- . In collecting the sales each day, we frequently Bad
quotations of a decidedly antagonistic character. Bar
instance, we received day before yesterday, a quotation
of choke Oaned'an extra at $5.75, undoubtedly correct.
In the course of a few mintees we were informed by a
dealer that he had sold ' 100 barrels fair double extra
do $5 02,i5 ;i and this also, we believe to be true, the
inspectors having messed the brand as a double extra.
We purpose hereafter to pursue the course suggested by
the Express, believing that the benefita resulting from
its adoption will be mutually beneficial to alt parties."
