AN INTERESTING SKET:OH, nisTanicAL AND DESCRIPTIVE, WHEELER Ott WILSON SEWING MACHINE, The following sketch, which we have prepared from the most reliable data, will be read with inte rest by thousands whose families have been made happier, healthier, and wealthier, by that moat bene ficent of modern inventions, the SEWING MA CHINE, and all who feel an interest in its universal introduction. From its well•known character and standing as the most popular and complete machine in use, we have selected the WHEZLER Sr, WILSON Instru ment for our purpose. This selection is all the,more opportune and appropriate_ at this time, from the fast that the WHEELER do WILS.ON MANUFACTURING COMPANY, 'Feeling that the increasing popularity and extensive sales of their celebrated Sewing Machines demanded large Emporium for the accommodation of their numerous patrons and friends, have lately opened one of the most elegant and tastefullY?arranged es iabliihinents in- this •city (No. 704 Chestnut street, second door above Soventh,) where all who desire can examine their wonderful Machines in operation. A very laudable and populrrlyuseful feature of this splendid new establishment is a handsome and commodious Instruction Room, fitted up for the ac• commodation of ladies who may desire to learn to Work on thee Machines ; the instruction tieing given gratuitously to all who apply (whether intending, to purchase a Machine or not,) by competent young ladies employed by Messrs. WHICELICE & WILSON for that special purpose. Or, if preferred, instruc tions are given to purchasers of Machines at their 'Nesidences, free of charge. . THE SEWING AIIi.OIIINE, ITS carom, INTRODUCTION INTO MINIMAL. USE, PROGRRSB, AND EXTVaiT Olf ITS arenuFasyruns. The firstpatent granted in this country for a ma• chine to sew, as ,a substitute for hand labor, was issued February 21, 1842, to John J. Greenough, of Washington city, but, so far as we can ascertain, his invention, whatever it was, was of no practical use to ihe world, as no machine, except the model, was liver built. The second patent was dated Marsh 4, 1843, issued to Benjamin W. Bean, of New York city. This, though called a sewing machine, was quite unlike any now in use. The cloth was corrugated, and a 10Dg needle thrust through the fold, and then the - cloth being atraiihtened, was held together some- What as it is by basting by hand. Probably no ma chines were ever built for sale, but we find a patent .for the same model re•iesued Marsh 10, 1849. The third sewing machine patent was granted De• camber 27,1843, to George It. Cornea, Greenwich, TT. Y., for a machine similar to Greenough's. No machines were made for use, except by the inventor, no far as we can learn. TRE.OBIGIN OF THE INVENTION, • ttowever, which has been popularized by actual use, 'ay be stated as follows : The successful oriminator of the sewing machine was an apprentice in the shop of a Mr. Davis, in Boston, some three or four years before the date of his patent, where he heard his employer say to a person who 'inquired, "Can you make a knitting :machine?" "Yee ; or a sewing machine." "Can youl" the mane replied. "If you can, I will insure you an independent fortune," The words "sewing machine" and "independent fortune" rang in the ears of the young Yankee in irentor. That was the origin of the sewing MR chine. From that moment his mind never rested, though he had no idea how the machine was to be amide, or fortune acquired. He had not much idea of the latter, even atter he had accomplished the 'former. THE INFANCY OF SEWING- MACHINES. Important as the invention has proved, the public was slow to see it, and, like many others, it did not bring that "independent fortune" until after years, of hope deferred. The infancy of sewing machines needed much nursing, and the invention came near perishing before it was appreciated. After long toiling and experimenting, Mr. Howe obtained a patent; but he had spent his last dollar, arid no one was willing to lend or embark another in Audi a Utopian enterprise as manufacturing sewing machines. For a certainty, no one had the power of "second eight" to enable him to see the palatial sewing ma chine emporiums that attract the curious.: upon Broadway Or. Chestnut street; nor , had any one a visien of such a in . ammoth establishment as that of the WHEELER & WILSON Company at Bridge port, where four acres of grouid are covered with buildings, with steam machinery.aufficient to manu facture three hundred sewing machines every day.

ILDOIII reality the inventor would not have gone to ,Eng. land in:hopes of meeting better etioieSs there than here, where he met only with disaPpointment. But he met with little else abroad, and soon' found that he must stay and Starve before 'the English people would appreciate the advantages of his invention— advantages that they have since learned, but not to the profit of the inventor. So poor was he at this time that he 44 worked his passage" home In a sailing ship, and landed in New York penniless, but full of that indomitable Yankee energy that cannot be put down by adverse eireum. stance's. He knew, if the world did not, that he had a machine that would some day be appreciated. IMPROVEMENTS ON HOWE'S MA.ORINE, AND INNOVATING PATENTS Howe's patent was dated September 10, 1816. The next issued was dated November 23, 1848, to Sohn A. Bradshaw, Lowell, Maas., for a oontrivanee to give a continuous tension to the thread as it , un wound from the bobbin and passed through the eye of the needle. May 8, 1849, Sohn Bacheldor, of 'Boston, took a patent to regulate the feeding of cloth anatomically to the machine, and Jonathan S. Conant, of Draout,' Mani., took one of the same date, for the eame pur pose, by a different arrangement. These were is sued as improvements , ' upon Howe's Machine. October 2,1849,810dget Leyow, of Boston, ob tained a patent, since decided as an invasion of Howe's patent, because it made the "lock-stitoh,” but by a different method; the shuttle performing a circuit instead of running back and forth. This invasion of Howe's patent was a benefit to him, because it occasioned a good deal of talk,'and as many,of the machines were made and put in ope ration, the public began to realize ttiat sewing could be done by:machinery. WILSON'S SEWING.MAGHINE PATENTS, The most important of all the sewing -machine pa. tents ever granted are those made to A. B. WILSON, of Pittsfield, Mass. ; the first, November 13th, 1850. This was for a two-fold improvement of the Howe Machine. He recognized the ,t! lock-stitch" as the sine qua non ; but as it was obtained in Howe's Ma chine by moving a shuttle along a slide, which must be kept well lubricated, and required some power, and had to go and return at every stitch, Wilson undertook to produce the same result at each move of the shuttle. The other improvement of WILSON was in the feed motion," now almost universally adopted by all manufacturers of sewing machines, and by which stitches are easily regulated, long or short, as , de. sired. A still greater improvement was patented by 111 r. WILSON, August 12, 1851. This we look upon as the most ingenious, as well as the moot, important, of. all the improvements that hive been patented. I THE ROTATING _ROOK—ITS OPERATION. The ingenuity of this contrivance is wonderful from its remarkable eimplieity ; it dispenses with the dirt of lubrication, and requires no addition to the power needed to drive the machine, while the stitches are made more rapidly. A good deal of time is alto saved in winding the bobbins to foim the lock• stitch. This invention of the 'rotating hook" is that which has given character to the WFIEILLICR & WIL SON Machine, and although the stitch is the-came as that originally .produced by Howe, he readily acknowledges that it is done by a more simple and ingenious method. The "rotating hook" is upon the end of the main abaft that moves all the work, and is carved out of Bond steel by a series of the moat ingenious machines that we ever saw in operation. Indeed, it could not be made by any other means, so that every one would be perfect and exactly like every other one. As it revolves it Relies The loop of the thread in the needle the instant it pasees through the cloth, opens it out and carries it around the bobbin, HO that the thread is then passed through the loop of the stitch; this is then drawn up with the thread in the needle, so that the two are looped together about half-way throngh the cloth, forming the strongest possible seam, showing the stitching exactly even upon both sides, with no threads above the surface to wear oft and allow the seam to rip. It hardlypossible that a mechanical operation can be conceived that is more simple and effective than this invention of A. B. WILSON. THE MANUFACTURE OF SEWING. MA, CIII.NE's 'Very few persons have an idea of the magnitude which the manufacture of sewing machines has. at tained in this country. . The following unions and companies pay a roy alty to Mr. Howe;who has recently obtained a re newal of his patent for seven years from September, 1861: • The WHICICLER & W.u.sorr Company, whose manu factory is at Bridgeport, Conn. (covering an area of four acres, and employing about a thousand of the most skilful workmen in the United States), and salesrooms in this city at No. 'lO4 Chestnut street. L X. Singer ac Co., New York. Finkle 84 Lyon, New York. Wilson H. Smith, Birmingham, Conn. The Parker Sewing Machine Company, Madison, Conn. • Charles W. Howland, Wilmington, Delaware. Miles Greenwood & 00., Cincinnati, Ohio. N. S. C. Perkins, Norwalk, Ohio. These firms manufactured and sold, last year, as nearly as we can ascertain, about 100,000 machines ; the majority of which were made at the mammoth establishment of the WHEELER & WILSON Company at Bridgeport There is, or wae, a sewing machine manufactur ing company at Richmond, Va., but " owing to cir cumstances," we can get no returns of the nUmber Made at that establishment. A brother of Mr. Howe also manufactures a small number in New York, and of a style very much liked for some purposes. • So much for the history of the invention; now let us see how the machhtes are made.

It is a wonder always to see what has been and Can be done by ingenious mechanics. We do not know where ingenuity has been more developed than in the Waltman sr. WrLSON machine shops at Bridgeport. We cannot describe all the carious processes by which a hundred or more machines are finished every day, but we will try to give some general idea of the wpnderful art, skill, power, and appliance - of machinery that go to the making of ft sewing rda. chine. The least oOstly, .though heaviest part of the ma chine, is oast iron. For instance, the legs, the tree die, the fly-wheel, the bed-plate, and several .minor pmts. Let us suppose a load of pig iron placed upon a car at the Lehigh, Pa,; mines, and run directly into the works, which are connected by a side track with the New York and,New Haven Railroad, and from that into the furnace, thence Into the moulds which cover the floor of one immense room, and which em ploy a score of men.' From the foundry the castings are taken upon small railways to the first floor of the finishing shop, which is a threeostory building, 36 feet wide and 60 feet long, with lines of shafting from end to end of each floor, which drive two or three tiers of ma• Chines upon the centre of the floor, and lines along each weß•lighted side. It is a glorious sight to look through all these windows from the cars which pass along the front, when all aro ablaze with burning gas, which is made upon the spot, to supply the 600 burners required by the workmen. WONDERFUL ACCURACY OF THESE MA- URINES We may here state that one of the secrets of the superiority of the Wheeler & Wilson machines over all others is found in the fact of their superior manu facture, in point of absolute accuracy. It is this that renders them more simple and easy to operate than ay others, and that makes them so durable that they will bear usage for almost a life-time without needing to be repaired. In order to insure this per fect accuracy in their manufactory, each workman is provided with a hardened steel gauge for the para. pular work at which he is employed, the standard of which is kept in the iron safe in the superintendent's office, Then, as most of the men work by the piece, each day's work of a finisher is carried to the in spection room, and if all passes inspection the workman is credited, so that they earn from $3 to a day. • From theinspector's room the parts are taken,; as' required, to the plating : gilding, japanning, and or namenting rooms, and to the workmen who put the machines together, all of which, after being oats. fully adjusted, are thoroughly proved, but are never ready for sale until they have passed a final inspec tion by a man who sees that each one works per fectly, no matter whether a high or low•coat one, and that each has its quota of needles and bobbins and tools. When packed for shipment, the cases are lowered from the inspection room and placed directly upon ears of the New York and New Haven railroads. THE WOOD WORK FOR CASES, &c This branch of the establishment is very exten siveococupying hundreds of workmen. In making tables, all are formed of layers of wood crossing the course of the grain, five layers deep, firmly glued and presssed together, so they can neither split nor warp. The cases, (some of which are very :rich rose• wood, or other neatly material, are made in the same way. We counted some of the sides of the eases in course of construction, of ten thicknesses. Then there is a vast quantity of lumber made into packing-boxes, in which machines are shipped to almost all parts of the civiliztd world. The same skill is exercised' in the wood depart. merit that we find in the iron, by substituting ma chinery for - manual labor, so that one man, on the avergage, does as much as ten men could with out machinery, and by-this means places it out of the power of individuals to compete in the manu facture of machines, if there were no patents to in terfere. THE MEN WHO MAKE SE WING MACHINES. There is a study in the men as well as the ma• chines. If these are specimens of 1 ; Northern mud sills,” the superstructure of society never can be shaken down. Here is a man with his shirt sleeves rolled up and his arms begrimed with oil and iron who was the representative of the town last year in the State Legislature, and who worthily tilled the station. Here is another who, we suppose t is worth $76,000, And here are scores of them who own these neat, handsome dwellings scattered around East Bridge port, who live in comfort and independence. Do you believe they are men ofintelligence7 Look at them. Watch them as they issue in a stream from the workshops on the way to dinner. There is not a stolid face among the entire number. THE " NAME" OF THE WHEELER & WIL- SON MACHINE. The name is accidental. A. B. WILSON. was an inventor. NATHANIEL. WHEELER Wasa manufac turer,.and circumstances brought them together, and their Joint productions were called the a Wheeler & Wilson Machines." In 1862 they turned out from a sPRIR shop in Watertown, Conn., eight or ten ma chines per week, mostly hand-made ' and coarse compared to those made for lege than half the coat in 1662. The number of machines made in succeed ing years show an unparalleled increase, until now the number manufactured annually, we believe, ex ceeds fifty thousand machines. It re a remarkable tact that, notwithstanding the lose of the boasted Southern trade, their manufacture and sales last year were vastly larger than they had ever been before. The WHEELER & WILSON Company is composed of a company of stockholders, which is manared_bir a President and Directors, ana.'it is - oniy an act of the moat simple justice to the stockholders and the public to say that it is the opinion of the public who know him, that no company ever had 'a more efficient President than NAT tr - PROPOSALS.

Th . e following' calculation only ap p roximates the! Slaving of time, which is money, by the use Of sewing machines. The writer gives a fair calculation neat. only four articles for which the machine is used, pat took at the sum total I Look, too, at the time bayed , in every family, and think of the aggregate. If we calculate the annual average profit arising; from the use of sewing machines at $26 each, which' is a very reasonable sum, considering how many of them are in daily use, it would give $966,126 for those! Manufactured in the year 1861, under Howe's patent, to say nothing of all previously made, or those Ull, der other patents. i We give the following item as a trustworthy cab Ciliation of saving : ' 1 The importance of the sewing machine to the manufacturing luterests of the United States is esti. mated at $342,000,000 annually. The annual saving by the machine is estimated, on Men's and Boys' Clothing in New York city alone $7,6)0,000 Hats and Caps 44E, 500 Shirt Bosoms 311,750 Boots and Shoes, in Massachusetts '1,60,000 It bas revolutionized thirty.aeven distinct d part meats of manufactures, and in no branch of s Whig can it be dispensed with where time and heal are regarded. , In Troy, N. Y.. where the tint praetioaltrial the WHEELER & Wir.sosi Sewing Machine was m ein 1852, for Shirt work, about 3,000 are now used, din the shirt manufactory of Messrs. Winchester, & Davies, where the second trial was made; 400 aienew used. The number of shirts manufastured ailthis -estabßiliment is about 10,04 X) per week. A machine with an attendant will do the work of six handl, and the eetimated saving annually, by using the maoidne, is $240,000. The shirts Are improved in quality, and very many who could not do even passable work by ' hand, become prime workers 'on the machini; Is deed, lees talent is required for _a =chine opsiator than for hand sewing. The number of shirt bosoms manufacturedin the city of Philadelphia is estimated at 36,000 per flay, Or upwards of 10,000,000 annually, forming seams hug enough to extend around the globe. An operator with a machine can. stitch 100 to 160 per day, er,if the machine be run by power, twice that number; while by band, six bosoms would be a day's work. 4 1 The manufacture of skirts and mantillaa are branches of business that owe their developme al most entirely to the sewing machine. Fashion nd i t taste, demand frequent changes, and by hand p r, ess of menufacture but a small portion of the re al red number could be made before the style wo be changed. By the sewing' machine the facilitt of production are equal - to the emergencies. The, 1- /ions of garments are furnished as required, a nd, he whole nation clothed according to the pretating fashion.. , . One house in New York makes 200,000 nisnifilas per annum, The eight yards of seams, and ,t . lye of binding, in making one, are done in - half an ' ' ur far more tastefully than by hand. The manufacture of white work and infiat's clothing have become specialties. A. flourishing dry goods house in New. York have organized an extm sive sewing department, in connection with tteir store, employing fourteen sewing machines, and sewers, cutters, and fitters. Purchasers select e material, their measure is taken, and thearticles re sent home ready for wear, greatly to the 3000112 0 i dation of the customers and profitto the rnerchaits. This ideals worthy of being adopted in Philadelpkia, and will no doubt soon be' improved upon. . 1 P. S.--Since writing the above paragraphweletrn that the WHEELER & WILSON Agency, at Noi . M4 Chestnut street, have just refitted their Writ second story room, where they will keep afu as sortment of ladies' and children's ready. de clothing, of the latest style and finish. . The sewing machine is second in importanceno Other mechanical agent of human power, and it no i experiment; it is an acknowledged fact. It isnot only a necessity to all manufacturers where stitches are used, but it is a family necessity, one that:no family can afford to do without. The sewing machine compares with hand labol as the steam engine does with horse-power. The WHEELER. & WILSON' Company has prerased tables, showing, by actual experiments of four lif ferent workers, the time required to stitch each part of a garment by hand and with this sewing machine.

Seams of a considerable length are ordinarily sewed, with the best machines, at the rate of a yard a minute, and that, too, in a manner far superior to hand sewing. Garments are now made entirely by it, with the exception of sewing on buttbns. Laces are stitched on; folds, tucks, gaiters, and plaits are laid and stitched • cord run in, binding put on, quilting dote after elaborate and beautiful designs. The variety of work done with it is almost incon ceivable. It sews leather or cloth, from the stoutest woolen down to the finest cambric, turning the must delicate hem of a lady's handkerchief without asy assistance or attention from the operator. It will stitch up and sew in the sleeves of a gentleman's coat, and one form of it was invented to work button holes.

In obed ence to an Order of Court, the Sheriff of the city and county of Philadelphia pnblishes the following notice, viz: NOTICE is hereby given that'Renry Croskey has pre sented his petition to the Court of Common Pleas for the county of .Philactelphia, setting forth that for about twelve years he was the owner of a certain tract of land, situate in Roxborough township, in the connty•of Ph Ha phia , containing thirty-five acres of land, more or less, and bounded by the Wissahickon road, otherwise called Ridge road, and by lands of John Fromberger, Samuel- Powell, and Isaac Melchor; and that during the month of July. 1863, he first learned, through searches made in the Recorder's office. that there remained in. said office an unsatisfied mortgage on said premiseti, which had been given by Thomas Shaw and Elizabeth, his wife, to John OioNschtane, to secure the payment of one hundred and thirty-five pounds, twelve shillings, and six pence, which said mortgage bears date January 31st, 1781, and is recorded in Mortgage Book M. No. 2, page 423, Stc.; that said John McNachtane removed to N'ew York, and died in the latter part of the year 1784. leaving a will whereof he appointed his wife Cornelia executrix, and which will was proved in New York,- and a certified copy registered in Philadelphia; that he was never call ed upon to pay interest on said mortgage, and he verily believes the said mortgage had' been fully paid; and praying the court to order and direct satisfaction to be entered upon the margin of the record of said mortgage by the Recorder of Reeds, as, by law it is in such cases provided. The executrix or other legal representatives of the said John Mcliach tent), and all persons interested either as assignee, legatee, or otherwise. in the said mortgage, are required to be and appear in the said Court of Com mon Pleas, in the city of Philadelphia, on the FIRST MONDAY of DECEMBER, A, D. 1863, at 10 o'clook A.

WHO BUYS AND USES THESE MACHINES. It. is estimated that there are now in use in the city of New York and vicinity not less than 26,000 rrinma , W n WiLsorr Sewing Machines, and there, where they are best known, le where they 0111 sell beat In Philadelphia there are up wanbr of 5,000 of these celebrated machines in use, and the sales are greatly on the increase. Instead of injuring the trade of the seamstress, it has proved to her a blessing. It is used in such a variety of ways, and so cheapened clothing that it has created demand, end given more employment to sewingwomen, and improved their health and comfort. A rent collector tells us that he never fears to trust a woman who owns one of these machines. We sincerely hope that ;the time will soon come when every family in this city and throughout the land will rejoice in the possession of a Wroramia & WILSON. Sewing Machine, and that the annual pro duct of their great manufactory, at Bridgeport, in stead of being a hundred and fifty thousand, will' be a half million machines, as they could be still fur ther reduced in price, in order to plate them within reach of those in the humblest circumstances. LATE REMOTION IN THE' PRICE'S OF WHEELER & .WILSON'S MACHINES The curtailment of litigation expenses, consequent upon the recent decisions of the United States Courts, which confirm the validity of Messrs. WHEELER & WILSON'S patents, and interdict their infringement, has enabled them to benefit the public by important reductions in the prices of their ma. chines.

WrL eon Machine is formed with two threads, one upon each surface of the fabric sewed, and interlocked with each other in the centre of it. It forms an elastic eearn, that cannot be ravelled, and presents the same•appearanci upon each surface. Its excellence is no longer problematical. It is as firm and elastic as the fabric sewed, and is not affected by the action of the smoothing iron or any other wearing surface. It will last as long •as the article itself. The sales every year of this family sewing machine are larger than those of all the other various sewing machines oonibined. This fact alone is a proof of its superior merit. , • One feature in the use of the WHEELER. & WILSON Sewing Machine, resulting from - the wide range of its application, is the varying branches of business to which it is applied. Thus, these machines may be employed In making skirts; or mantillas, or diamond ruffling, or shirts, or stitching hats and caps, etc. They are not limited to one branch of manufacture, but, so long as sewing is to be done, these machines are sure of something to do, being adapted to every variety of sewing for family wear, from the lightest =Mins to the heaviest cloths. They work equally well upon silk, linen, woolen and cotton goods— seaming, quilting, gathering, hemming, felling, cord ing, and braiding—making a beautiful and perfect stitch alike on both sides, and performing every species of sewing r except making buttonholes and stitching on buttons. WHAT TREWHEELER & WILSON MA- I#=MP';MriMi'lff=MMMl 1. Beauty and elegance of stitch. alike upon both sides of the fabric sewed. 2. Strength, firmness, and durability of seam that will not rip nor ravel, and made with 3. Economy of thread. 4.

Speed, ease of operation and management., and quietness of movement. . . The American institute, New -York, reports: "That the WHBELBR & WILSON Machine makes the "Lock- Stitch," and ranks highest on account of the elasticity, permanence, beauty, and general desi rableness of the stitching when done, and the wide range of its application." This report was in accordance with the previous repeated awards at the fairs of the United States, and other agricultural societies. It is a splendid and well-deserved compliment to the WHEELER & WILSON Machine, that wherever it has been exhibited in competition with others it has taken the' HIGHEST PREMIUMS • The highest premiums were awarded to WHEELER & WILSON at the International Exhibition, London, 1862; Industrial Exposition, Paris, in 1861, and at the Fairs of the United States Agricultural Society, and the recent American Institute, New York ; Me chanics' Association, Boston ; Franklin Institute, Philadelphia ; Metropolitan Mechanics' Institute, Washington; Maryland Institute, Baltimore; Me chanics' Association, Cincinnati; Kentucky Insti tute, Louisville; Mechanical Association, St. Louis; Mechanics' Institute, San Francisco.

The yearly sales of the WHEELER &WILSON Sewing Machines (sold in this city at No. 704 Chest" mitatreet), are larger than those of all the other sewing machines combined. 2d. The immense manufactory of the WareStma & WILSON Sewing Machine Company, at Britigeta s rt, Connecticut, is one of the wonders of the world. It occupies upwards of four acres of ground, employs more Iliare thousand of the best workmen ita the United States, and, with the most improved ma chinery, tlae company find it impossible to etipply the great demand for their machines in this country and Europe.. : ad. The-Wireetzu & WrisoN Machine is an ire. strument of infinite versatility in its operations. lii will braid, cord, bind, tuck, gather, fell, and hern more beautifully than any other machine in use; and by attaching a small arrangement called a " trim mer,” any kind of trimming may be sewed on dresses without previous basting. 4th. Bindings may be put on the edges of any kind Of garment, hat, or cap, without any other adjusting than that performed by the machine itself while in the act of sewing them on. 6th. The Lock. Stitch, made by the WHEELER & WILSON Sewing:Machine, is more durable and more beautiful than that made by any other, and has these advantages, that it presents the same appearance on both sides of the fabric, and will not revel. It is also more economical, requiring onothird less cotton .than, any other kind of stitch. Again, this beautiful stitch, being the same on 'both sides, it is not necessary to use the extremely fine sewing cotton required by those machines which snake a stitch with a ridge on the under side, that can only be concealed by a thread too delicate and line to bear ordinary wear. 6th. The bobbin which holds the under thread in the WHEELER '& WILSON Machine is so constructed that when empty no care and very little time is re quired to fill it. The bobbins on the shuttle machine, on the contrary, require considerable care in order to wind the cotton on them evenly, and if the wind ing is done by an inexperienced hand, the result is the thread will not unwind freely, and will break. 7th. The .simplicity of the WHEELER & Witsoer Machine renders its movements so easy that a child can work it, the weight of the feet alone being sue ficient to move it. It will work with all kinds of sewing silk, cotton, or linen thread, and will sew all kinds of materials, from the thinnest gauze to the heaviest cloth or leather. It is used by thou sands of tailors, dress makers, hatters, cap , makers, hoorsekirt manufacturers, skirt makers, and seam it-reseal. Bth. For rapidity of motion, the WHEELER & Wrrr sow Machine excels all others, as has been demon• strafed a thousand times by comparison.. 9th. It is so noiseless in its operations that Con versation may be carried on in the ordinary pitch of voice in a work.room where a score of machines are in motion. 101 h. Another very great advantage that the WHEELER & WILSON Machine possesses over others, is found in the fact that the work on it is" Carried on in the natural way, from left to right, which enables the operator to adjuat the work more readily, and without any change from the upright • posture, while machines which carry the work from the operator require en inclination of the body (de trimental to health) in order to adjust the material as it passes from under the needle. 11th. As an ornamental piece of workmanship the WHEELER & WILSON instrument is worthy a place in the moat elegantly.fundshed parlor, a fast which renders it peculiarly desirable and appropriate as a gift. Some of the cases are of rosewood, walnut, or mahogany, furnished with sets of drawers for the reception of cottons, sewing silks, &c., and when the doors are closed there are few &diodes of furni ture more exquisitely beautiful. For these and sundry other reasons, no household in the land is complete without a WHEELER & WIL SON sewing machine. They are within the reach of everybody, being made to suit all tastes and circumstances ; and the plainest in finish, which costs $46, will work as well as one which costs $2OO. ...We advise our reeders to preserve these facts, and poet them conveniently for future reference, and suggest that when they want the best Sewing Ma. chine in the world they go to the office of Wooster+. & WILSON'S new agency in this city, No. 704 Chest nut street, and get it. $45 00 62 00 ,SUPERIOI7. TO dinr IT IS THE ONLY FURNITURE : CROCKERY. TOYS SONE, _IVORY. PROVIDENCE. R. L WHEELER & WILSON'S DIRECTIONS TO PURCHASERS. Messrs. WAFFLER & WILSON have printed circu lars, for gratuitous distribution, containing fine worid-cut illustrations of all their different priced machines and all their individual parts, together with the moat explicit directions for their-use, printed in English, German, Spanish, French, and other languages, for the convenience of their cus tomers in all parts. of the World. These circulars are got up in a very beautiful and artistic manner, and are no less creditable than they are interesting contributions to the illustrated literature of the day. They pan be had by calling at the rooms of their agency in this city, No. 704 Chestnut street, or will send by - mail on application. They have also issued neatly-printed circulars, containing pictorial illustrations and full historic descriptions of, the various kinds of stitches mide by all the sewing machines in use, including the it through-and. through" stitch, the " running" stitch, "stitch ripping," "single-thread chain stitch missed," the "lock" stitch also, the exact appearance of a "line of lock stitches," of "gathering lock stitches," of " single-thread chain stitches," "single thread chain-doublethread chain stitch left loose," "double-thread chain stitch drawn up," " double thread chain stitch ironed and worn off," " double thread chain stitch with stitch dropped," -" lock stitch dropped," and "double-thread chain stitch on a bias and brok en." THE QUESTION OF "TENSION." Besides the feed and the machinery for making the stitch, the tension of the thread has commanded more attention than anything else. No matter what the stitch made, this difficulty has to be met. The trouble has been to so adjust the strain upon the two threads, that the point of interlocking shall be in the proper position. This is a matter of great difficulty when the thread is used from the original spool, on account of the irregularity with which these spools are made. In the WHISELIZS. & WILSON' machine this difficulty has been overcome in a most successful manner. The lower thread is rewound on a metal spool of such size as to hold about 50 or 60 yards of No. SO cotton, go that a spool of 200 yards will till the bobbin four times.- Leis than a minute is requisite for rewinding a spool. Five minutes per day is more than would v o T i Terditimir„ygipAng alithe thread a housekeeper is then paid to the lower thread, and the tension kit being automatic, the proper regulation of the upper thread is alone necessary. This thread , is fed from the original spool without any rewinding, to a small FOR SALE AND TO LET. - FOR SALE—ON EASY TERMS, zvaann - r or-artoIYSTD Ott the late Dieted of Richmond.

Hence, the regula tion of the tension properly on this kind of machine is more difficult than on any other. As the great waste of thread in forming this stitch is found on the lower aide, the replacing of the exhausted spool is about as frequent es the refilling of the spool in the WHEELER & WILSON Machine. And any one at all conversant with the two kinds of machines knows i'Jmt more time is required in supplying the spools, Weeding the lower crooked needle or the double thread chain stitch machine, and adjusting the ten sion, than in rewinding the lower thread for the Wrinsmzx & WILSON machine, which never breaks. In view of these facts, PUBLIO OPINION Has quietly settled down in favor of the WitiEELRII. h WThsox instrument. This is fairly attested in the fact that although the double•thread chain•slitch has been clamorously recommended to the public for nearly ten years as far superior to the lack atiich , yet of the 46,243 machines retuned to Dlr. Howe as sold in 1859, nearly 4C:090 make the lock stitch, showing the verdict 01 the public in this matter. The Committee of the American Institute, New York, appointed to examine sewing mrsehines, made a long, elaborate, and able report of much interest to the public, in which the W128E5118 & WILSON - ma- chine is given the preeminence beyond a peradven ture. The report pays Class lst includes the Shuffle or Lock-Mris eeftes for family use, and' for manufacturers in the same rouge of purpose and material The Oommit tee bap assigned this claw the higheat rank, on ac count of the " elasticity, permanence, beauty, and generaldestrableness of the stitching when dens," and the wide range of its application. At the head of this class they place the WHEYCLIZE & Mt - melon' Machine, and award it the :Dgbest'presnium. This has been the uniform award for this machirie throughout the country for several years, and we think no disints rested person will dispute its justice' and propriety. SOME Or THE GRAND RESULTS' OF . THE WHEELER &. WILSON SE WING MACHINE. From what has been already said it will be seen that the W H3ELER & WitSori Sewing Machine, sold in this city at No. 704 Obestnut street, is not an ex periment to be tried, but a success achieved, with benefits far exceeding the most sanguine expectation. The steam engine and the magnetic telegraph have not proved more beneficent in the commercial world than has this in the domestic. From feeble begin nings, in 1862; and embarrassed by prejudices from , the imperfections of machines then before the pub lic, it has entirely revolutionized needlework-, and won for the Sewing Machine a recognition as being second to no mechanical agent. With the invention of this machine, a new era dawned upon woman, which will not fail to be marked upon the health, virtue, and happiness of future generations. Poets, orators, divines, philoso phers, and economists, have descanted upon its bearings on social interests and the destiny of woman. Major General N. P. BANKS, in his ad dress at the Crystal Palace, declared that: "The Sewing Machine will work as great a change is families as railways have in communities and States." The ladles themselves have been most earnest in its' praise. Not only in private but in public, through the press, ladies of the highest social standing, and authoresses of the first distinction, have exerted their influence in its behalf. Mrs. E. Oaxv.e Salim has for more than four years earnestly employed ber pen in advocating its general intro duction into families. She says : Of the WHEELER & WILSON Machine we can ;meek with entire clearness and confidence after the use of one four years or more in our family. We look upon-it as one of the benefactions of the age, and one which will constitute an era in the history of woman. Its song should be : Click click I click While the cook crows loud and free, And click ! click ! click Is a merry sound to me, With bodice trim and neat I seam, and gnome, and band, With my dainty-Blippered feet, And a small, white-lingered hand. ° Stitch to the click of the steel, And never an aching head, While I turn the gliding wheel, With the gleaming silver thread. Oh, woman ! no more a alive To seam, and gusset, and band s Shall beautiful grow and brave, In the light of our happy land." So fully has the WHBIELIMA Wrr,sow Sewing Ma chine `commended itself to public favor, that it is now looked upon as indispensable in every branch of industry requiring sewing. Not only are the wants of housekeepers fully met, but the machine.is found a necessity for the seamstress, dress-maker, tailor, manufacturers of shirts, collars, cloaks, man tillas, clothing, hats, caps, corsets, ladies' boots, silk and linen goods, umbrellas, parasols, etc. Some of theee branches of business have attained gigantic proportions, and it is not unusual to find from 100 to 400 sewing machines used in a single manufactory. This Is not surprising when the efficiency of the ma. chine is considered. THE WHEELER & WILSON THE FAMILY. By none has the Sewing Machine been more grate fully welcomed than by the Housekeeper, who is no longer equal to the burdens imposed upon her by necessity, fashion, and taste. A_comfortably pro vided wardrobe for a family, consisting of husband, Wife, arid five children, would be about as follows: For the husband—One dozen shirts, with bosoms and collars ; four nightshirts ; two pairs of under shirts and drawers; one dozen pocket and neck handkerchiefs ; one dozen pair of stockings, one morning gown; one overcoat and two dress coats; three pairs of thick pantaloons and three thick vests, for winter; two coats, three pairs of pantaloons, three vests and one overcoat for spring and fall ; and for summer, three coats, six pairs of pantaloons and five vests. The wife would require one dozen dresses, of different materials; an equal number of skirts, and as many changes of under. garments; one winter cloak and various other outer garments, according to fashion; one dozen pairs of hose and gloves, besides numerous cuffs, collars, under-sleeves, aprons, handkerchiefs, ac. Each of the five children would require more changes than either of the pa rents, because they soil them more readily, wear them more rapidly, and also outgrow some. Bed•linen for five beds might consist of ten pairs of sheets and blankets, ten pairs of pillowcases and bolster covers, besides coverlets, comfortables, quilts, ticks, &c. Table and toilet linens might be set down at half a dozen tablecloths, four dozen napkins, and four dozen towels. In addition to the above; there are !minuets, hoods, caps, curtains, car reismsgArt &c., that require the use of the needle fancy work demand %%Voir t embroidery; and other above specified do not require renewing annually, but they all need -more or less repair.
