PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1864.
Some Additional Facts About the Wheeler
& Wilson Sewing Machine.
It would be folly to attempt any higher eulogy
upon the world-renowned Sewing Machine of
Wheeler a Wllaon, (sold In this city at their fiegant
wareroomi. No. 704 Chestnut street,) than the state
ment Of the faot that wherever the Wheeler & Wil
son Sewing Machine has been exhibited for compe
tition, either on this or the other side of the Atlan.
tie, it has, without a single exception, taken the
highest premium. So true is this, that wherever
this compliment has been extended to any other
machine, it may be taken as proof positive that the
Wheeler A Wilson Instrument was not exhibited at
all; thie, In iteelf, is such a telling fact that to multi
ply words about it to people of Intelligence wopld be
useless. Nevertheless, there are a number of inci
dental facta connected with this favorite machine
that the people ought to know, a few of which we
take the liberty of introducing here, in the following
Older: .
lit. The yearly calec of the Wheeler’ A Wilton
Sewing Machine, (.old in thie oityat No. 704 Ohest
nut atreet) ere larger than those of all the other
Sewing Machine, combined.
Sd. The immense manufactory of the Wheeler A
Wilson Sewing Machine Company, at Bridgeport,
Connecticut, is one of the wondera of the world. It
oecupiee upwarde of four acres of gr.ound, employe
more than a thousand of the best workmen in the
United States, and, with the most improved ma
chinery, the Company find It impossible to supply
the greet demand for their machines Hath!* country
and Europe. . “
3d. The Wheeler & Wilson Machine la an instru
ment of infinite versatility In its operation. It will
braid, cord, bind, tuck, gather, fell, and hem more
beautifully than any other machine in iiae; and by
attaching a small arrangement called a “ trimmer,»
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 oap, without any other adjusting
than that performed by the maohine itself while in
the act of sewing them on.
6!h. The Bock-stitch made by the Wheeler A Wil.
con Sewing Machine is more durable and more beau
tiful than made by any other, and has these advan
tages, that it presents the same appearance on both
sides of the fabric, and will not ravel. It is, also,
more economical, requiring one-third 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
make a stitch with a ridge on the underside that
can only be concealed by a thread too delicate and
fine to bear ordinary wear.
6th. The bobbin which holt's the under-thread in
the Wheeler k Wilson Machine ic so constructed
that when empty no care and very little time ic re
quired to fill it. The bobbins on the shuttle ma
chine, on the contrary, require considerable care in
order to wind the cotton on them evenly, aDd if the I
Winding is done by an inexperienced hand, the re
sult is the thread will not unwind freely, and will
break.
7th. The simplicity of the Wheeler k Wilson Ma
chine renders ita movements so easy that a child
can work it, the weight of the feetalone being suffl
eient to move it. It will work with all kinds or
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, Dressmakers, Batters, Capmakers,
Hoop-Skirt Manufacturers, Shirtmakers, and Seam
stresses.
8 th. For rapidity of motion, the Wheeler & Wil
son Machine exceeds all others, as has been demon
strated 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
voloe in a work-room where a score of machines are
in motion.
loth. Another very great advantage that the
Wheeler k Wilson Maohine possesses over others, is
foend in the fact that the work on it Is carried on in
the natural way, from left to right, which enables
the operator to adjust the work more readily, and
without any change fromthe upright posture, while
machines which carry the work bom the operator
require an inclination of the body (detrimental to
in order to adjust the material as it passes
from under the needle.
11th. As an ornamental piece of workmanship, the
Wheeler k Wilson instrument is worthy a place in
the most elegantly furnished parlor; a Taot whioh
renders it peculiarly desirable and appropriate as a
gilt. Some of the cases are of rosewood, walnpt, or
mahogany, furnished with sets of drawers for the
reception of cotton, sewing silks, Ac., and when the
doors are dosed there are few artldes of furniture
more exquisitely beautiful.
For these and sundry other reasons, no household
In the land la complete without a Wheeler Sg Wilson
Sewing. Maohine. -'*■
They are within the reach of everybody, being
made to suit all tastes and circumstances; and the
plainest in finish, which costs $45, will work as well
as one which costs $2OO,
We advise our readers to observe these facts, and
preserve them conveniently for future referenoe, and
suggeet that when they want the best Sewing Ma
chine in the world, they go to the office of Wheeler
k Wilson’s New Agency, in this city, 701 Chestnut

WILSON SEWING MAOHINE.
From what has been already said, it will be seen
that the Wheeler k Wilson Sewing Machine, sold In
this oity at No. 704 Chestnut street, Is not an expe
riment to be tried, butasucoess achieved, with bene
fits 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 imperfeetiona 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 maohine a new era
dawned upon woman, whioh will not fail to he
marked upon the health, virtue, and happiness of
future generations. Poets, orators, divines, phi
losophers, and economists have descanted upon its
bearings on social interests and the destiny of wo
man. Major General Nathaniel P. Banks, in his
address at the Crystal Palace, declared that “ The
Sewing Maohine will work as great a change in
families as railways have in communities and
States.” The ladies themselves have been most
earnest in its praise. Not only in private, but in
public, through the press, ladies of the highest
social Btandlng, and authoresses of the first dig.
tinctioß, have exerted their influence in its behalf.
Mrs. E. Oakes Smith has, for more than ffur years,
earnestly employed her pen In advocating its gene
ral Introduction into families. She says;
.Of the Wheeler k Wilson Machine we can speak
With entire clearness and confidence, alter the use of
one four years or more in onr iamily. We look upon
it as one of the benefactions of the age, and one
which will constitute an era in the.hlstory of woman.
Its song should be :
‘■Click 1 click I click!
While the cook crows loud and free.
And eliok 1 click I slick!
Is a merry sound to me.
With bodies trim and neat
I seam, and gusset, and band,
With my dainty.slippered feet,
And a small, white-fingered hand.
Stitch to the click of the steel,
And never an aching head,
While I turn the glittering wheel.
With the gleaming silver thread.
Oh, woman! no more a slave ,
To seam, and gusset, and band,
Shall beautiful grow and brave.
In the light o! our happy land.
So fully has the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma
chine commended itself to public favor, that it is
now looked upon as indispensable to every branoh of
industry requiring sewing. Not only are the wants
of housekeepers folly met, but the machine is found
a necessity for the seamstress, dressmaker, tailor,
manufacturer of shirts, collars, oloaks, mantillas,
clothing, hats, caps, corsets, ladies’ boots, silk and
linen goods,. umbrellas, parasols, etc. Some of
these branohes of business have attained gigantie
proportions, and ft is not unusual to find 100 to 400
sewing machines used In a single manufactory. This
Is not surprising, when the efflelenoy of the maohine
is considered.
THB PECUNIARY ADVANTAGES OP THB WHEELER
k WILSON SEWING MACHINES.
Nor sre the pecuniary advantages less. Instead
of the half dollar paid for a day, lengthened far Into
the night, she receives from three to five times that
amount for a day’s employment of reasonable
hours. Indeed, in thousands of cases has the pre
sentation of a sewing machine rendered an object of
charity self-supporting, and aonverted her into a
thrifty and willing almoner. Mothers support
families and young women become capitalists. It
is not unusual to find the owner of a sewing ma
chine earning from $5O to sloo$ loo per month.
EMINENT OPINIONS OP THB WHBBLBK fc WILSON

We could add the names of thousands who are
now using the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines
In this vicinity, but we will conclude by inviting all
to oome and examine these wonderful machines
and see them work.

Sew Publications.
A new scries of Broumson's Quarterly Beview has
just been commenced. We have received the January
number from T. B, Pugh, Sixth and Chestnut streets,
agent for the publication here. This Review, al.
ways written with ability, used to be a decided
Catholic organ. It promises hereafter to be “devoted
to philosophy, politics, literature, and the general
interests of civilization.” In the number before us
are six articles, supplemented by a few pages of lite
rary notices and criticisms. Five of those artloles
are political, viz: the introduction to the new (or
national)series of the Review; an essay on the
Federal Constitution; a paper on popular corrup
tion and venality, the text of which is Mr. Dougher*
ty’s earnest, truthlul, and eloquent address (July,
1883) before Union College, Schenectady, and Mar
shall'College, Lancaster; an examination of the
President’s message and amnesty proclamation;
and a review of Genera] Halleok’s report
of the war in 1863. The sixth artiole is a critl
cism on Ruiflnl’s Italian novel called “ Vincenzo;
or, The Sunken Rocks,” and out of twenty pages
occupied by this article, less than oae-tbird is de
voted to reviewing the story, as a story, the remain
ing sixteen pages being a defence of the Chureh or
Rome in its relations with the King of Italy, and a
severe censure of Victor Emmanuel for having as
sumed the sceptre of Italy without having first
obtained the content ofthe Prinoes as well as of the
Peoples of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the
Three Duchies. Sixteen pages devoted to litera
ture, and one hundred ana twelve to politics, ia a
quarterly review, reminds us or the tavern bill that
Prince Hal and Polns found in Falstaff’s pooket,
among the items of which were one halfpenny, worth
of bread to two gallons of sack. Such a dose of
politics as this would' swamp any periodical. If Dr.
Brownson would see his Review prosperous, he
must make it readable by introducing a variety of
subjects. A single sound and searching article on a
political topic ought suffice to maintain the “Na
tional” character of any literary periodical, quar
terly or monthly.
The last number of the Medical and Surgical Be
porter, published in Philadelphia, contains, among
other papers of 'lnterest, the first of a series of pa
pers discussing the question, Who discovered the
practical application of anaesthetics in surgery! and
giving the credit of it to the late Horace Wells, and
not to Wm, T. G. Morton, who olaims It. We
must say tbat, while the writer shows that Morton
himself permltteda chemist named Jackson to share
the credit, for a time, of the discovery, all he asserts
on the other side, is that in December, 1844, Horace
Wells had a tooth painlessly extracted while under
the influence of the laughing gas, and that in Sep
tember, 1846, Wm. T. Q, Morton drew a tooth,
without pain, having placed the patient under the
influence of inhaled sulphuric ether, the substitu
tion of sulphuric ether for the laughing gas having
been auggested by Charles J. Jackson, a chemist,
also Of Boston, The tone of this communication, as
regards Morton and Jackson, is reprehensible, on
account of its personality.
The second number of The tody's Friend, a new
periodical published by Peterson k Deacon, gives a
double fashion-plate, a pretty fancy frontispiece,
several wood-cuts, a piece of music, and a fair quan
tity of letter-press. We Bhould like to see some
character infused into the latter.
The February number of the Denial Cosmos, pub
lished in this oity, contains several articles of inte
rest to the medical profession at large, besides the
usual quantity of information for the particular class
to whloh it addresses itself. We would notice among
the former, Professor A M. Mayer’s 11 Observations
on the Antithetic Called Muhrite of Oxygen,”
which show that Sir Humphrey Davy discovered,
nearly sixty-five years ago, that protoxide of nitro
gen was an anaesthetic agent. Professor Henry Mor.
ton’s paper on the “ Physiological Relations of
Phosphorus’’ read before the Odontographio So
ciety, of Philadelphia, is worthy of the reputation
of that able and rising chemist.
The American Literary Gazette and Publisher's tt>
mar, of February 15th, ought to have been acknow
ledged before this. However, it is never too late to
notice a thoroughly good and reliable publication,
which conveys the latest and fullest information
about American and Foreign Literature. Mr.
Childs hSB shown judgment' and spirit in, the im
provements he has effected in this periodical.
A trio of new novels is announced by T. B. Peter
son as almost ready for publication. These are
“The Bridal Eve,” by Mrs. Southworth; “The
Wife’s Secret,” by Mrs. Stephens 5 and “ The Wo
man in White,” also by a female writer, whom Mr.
Peterson will have the honor (and, no doubt, the
profit, largely,) of introducing to American readers.
These three novels will appear in l2mo, neatly
bound and gilt.
A Thank Offering.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sib : In the recent issue of a Secession journal,
my allegory entitled "Gilead; or, the Yision of
All Souls Hospital,” is oursed without stint. The
espeoial wrath of the editor is because of the mention
of the " everlasting negro” in the book. It seems
he has found a place in ” World Town,” known as
“ Union Square,” and that In South Union Square
he discovers a something called “ Man-Mart.” At
sight of this the servant of Mr. Davis goes into a
violent rage, exclaiming “ Yankee!” “ Yankee!”
"Abolitionist!” “A preaoher of the Gospel of
Hate!” ito.
I suspect, Mr. Editor, that your good neighbor is
secretly angry with another page of Gilead, in
which the "traitor family” in Union Square is
described; and that portion of the family dwelling
in North Union Square is deelared to be Infinitely
worse than the misguided brothers in the Southern
Square.
You will permit me, through the medium of the
liberty-speaking Press, to express my thanks to the
Age for this notice. Its ourse is a kindness; its
praise would have been cruelty.
Yours, J. HYATT SMITH.

To the Editor of the N, Y. Tribune
Sib : My attention was called, this afternoon, to
a republleation, In the New York Evening Post, of
the 2d Instant, of an article from aPennaylvanlapa
per, giving what purport* to be testimony from the
ease of theGarbon county "Huokahot” prisoners.
The article states that:
~1 1 The prisoner belonged to the sworn sseret oiganiza
t‘onknown as the 'Golden Circle.' They held their
meetings at the Shouse of Conrad Horn, above Hazle
ton. Ed. Winters was the president. and administered
tne oath. The members of the Circle were instructed
and sworn tosupport 'theComtltutlon as it is, and the
Union as it was, to aid each other in evading the draft,
and to dleconrage all efforts to raise men for the army.
AcCordlrg to the Instructions of the president ( Winters).
the leading members of the organization are General
Lee, of the rebel army, and Generals McClellan and Me
Dowell, of the Uiited States army. In case a number
is forc'd into the army by draft, he Is instructed .when
on picket, to go over to the enemy In the following man
ner 3».
A* this statement purports to bare been given
under oath, and is circulated in a paper of such high
standing as tbe New York Evening Post, it seems
to call tor notice, which I otherwise would hesitate
to give.
I desire, therefore, to state that I do not now be
long, nor have I ever belonged, to the Order of the
Golden Circle, nor do I know of any such organize*
lion, or of anyone belonging to if* or to anything
of tbe kind»that I do not. belong, nor have I ever
belonged, to any secret society for any political, so
cial, or other purpose whatever, nor have I ever had
anything to do with anything of the kind,
I bad hoped the stupid stories concerning my loy
alty and intemperance, having served the purpose
for which they were set on - toot, and done me the
desired harm, I should be spared further troubling
the public with any thing concerning merely my per
sonal character or habits, and were I In private life
I should not now do so; but Injustice to tbe service
in which 1 am now, and hope to be further engaged,
I osnnot avoid asking this may be made public, in

Islands in Sandusky Bay, some of whioh are in

condition, while the troops were never physically or
mentally in finer spirits, nor better prepared to have

extra precautions taken to guard against distur

REBEL OFJTCEBS AKXIOVS TO TARN TBB OATH,
A lane number -of the prisoners are anxiously
awaiting an opportunity to take the oath of alle
giance to the united States Government. By offi
cers familiar with the prisoners; It is estimated that
upward of 600 will avail themselves of the privileges
of the oath. A perfeot reign of terror is maintained
by the incorrigible and bitter traitors within the
prisons, who threaten the life of any of the repentant
rebels whom they may suspect of being deslrons to
take the oath to our Government. A rew eases will
suffice to illustrate how intense is this treasonable
and fiendish feeling among these relentless and des
perate traitors.
Not long ago a captain wrote a letter to one of his
rebel Mends in Alabama, commenting upon Gen.
GUmofe’s ability to destroy the elty of Charleston
With Greek fire. He said he rejoiced to hear the
news, and he prayed God Almighty would aid the
Yan trees to rain brlmetone and Greek fire on the link
of iniquity. One of the clerks detailed to examine
the letters sent from the prisoners to their relatives
South, copied this letter and sent it to a small local
paper.
- The extracts were extensively copied in the vari
ous State papers, and finally found their way into
The Saniutky Register, whioh has quite a daily circu
lation among the prisoners. The seditious para
graph was read amid the greatest exoitement to the
exasperated rebels, and in a tew moments the newe
spread throughout the prison among the 2,800 pri
soners, and suoh howls of indignation, and threats
of eternal vengeance, coupled with the vilest pro
fanity, never before assailed the human ear. An
investigating committee, conaieting of three promt
nent officers, was appointed to wait upon the sue
peeted Captain, to learn if he was the author of the
objectionable article. The.ropedangledlnthe would
be murderers’ hands, who stood ready to launch the
vioiim of their hatred Into eternity. The doomed
man was approached, and soon read his terrible fate
in the looks of the chivalrous assassins. He was
asked it he wrote the letter.
Reading the paper slowly, he told the infuriated
rebel* that he would give them an answer in fifteen
minutes. The deputation were loth to depart, and
were urged by the crowd of prisoners to hang the
d—d Yankee epy on the spot. Ihe only hope of eecspe
for him was In the arrival of some one or the officers
before the expiration of the allotted time. Ten mi
nute* of dreadful suspense had flown, and, wherever
he turned his eyes, he saw the prisoners Impatiently
wateblng the bands on their watob-duis Tor the ap
pointed time which they felt sure was to witness the
execution.
One of onr corporals came from s distance, lei
surely advancing towards him. But five minutes
remained. To start rapidly, in order to meet the

British Pacification of Japan.
FAILUBE or THE Alfrono-CHIVS9B NAVAL mrpg'nr.
CFrom the Washington Intelligencer, February i. J
l>r, Rtagowan communicated to a literary circle
j .gening some recent intelligence from Japan
and China, The Prince of Satauma has been brought
to submission by the recent bombardment of Kago*
Sima, bis capital. He admits the offences charged
jgainst him by the British Minister, and consents to
?i# J hc reparation demanded by the English.
£ satisfactory arrangement was made between 001.
ftnd the Prince’s envoys on the 15th of No*
vember. * .-■
To auch a degree baa Satsmua jii*se(foo the new
order of thing* that he has made propoa&U for send
ing to England some of the young men of the nobi
lity of his territory for travel and education. No
more will be beard of tbe threat or the Gtorogla,
made kttly to Mr. Piuyn and the Dutch minister,(of
the olujn. of the port of Yokohama, and the trans
“to; hi*foreigncommerce to Nagasaki.
Prince Kujg, Ohineae Minuter of Foreign Affaire,
having repudiated the arrangement made with Cai>
tain Osborne, the formidable flotilla whleh had
reached the Gbineae watera baa been dispersed, and
a portion returna to England and another to Bom
bas to be incorporated with the royal navy. The
Manehu Government feela atrong enough to sur>
preu the Paping rebellion, without hazarding the
employment of auoh dangeroua auxiliaries.
Sbobssionibts ik Office, — It baa always been
asierted that if the Government would purge itself
of the traitors and Secession aympathizers who have
been and are atill holding responsible positions In
the different department!, the Confederacy would
lose moat ef its vital powera. The oases wbioh have
heretofore arisen, some of which have been acted
upon and othera pasted over, have furnished abun
dant proof of this. That there are atill too many
left who are in regular correapondenoe with the
rebels, and whose position gives them means of
abundant information of ihe greatest importance, ie
as true now as ever. Certain letters recently cap
tured and returned to the War Department have led
to the discharge of a man and his wife, both of whom
have been holding sltuationi In the Treasury De
partment—the former from a time dating back of
the commencement of the rebellien.
Ae an instance of one, andlperhaps the moet se
rious difficulty which the Government has to oou
terd against, may be found in the statement in a
letter from the wife to friends In Secessla, that she
has found that one woman can accomplish more
with officials here than fifty men can do. The prompt
action of the Secretary of the Treasury in removing
these parties is worthy of emulation. Were all the de
partments thoroughly purged of those who, drawing
their pay from Government, abuse their positions
by furnishing the rebels with information which has
enabled them thus far to thwart the plans of our
Government and prolong the rebellion, it is believed
by those well informed upon the .subject that their
cause, conceded as hopeless, would really be so. A
number of other clerks have also been removed from
the Treasury Department.—lf. Y. Tribune,

The New York Evening Post says:
The loan market is well supplied at 7 per cent. The
accumulation of capital continues, and the evident ten*
deucy is toward increasing ease.
The stock market is excited and irregular. The incer
titude and suspense as to the movements of the Treasu
ry. and their probable results on the course of prices,
tend to check speculation and retard the upward move
ment. Governments are strong and railroad bonds Arm.
Railroad shares are irregular but strong, especially on
the Western list.
