Unit wood bt uriugs liu tho abaft to run in will wear

That the Putnam Wringer, with or without cog

That cog-wheel regulators are not essential ;
Tuat the Putnam Wriniter has all the advuutag
and not one of the disadvantages! above named :
That all whohae totatl it, prouounc it the best !
WrillL'er ever inlulo:
That it will wring a Thread or a BeoSQuilt without

Clang of bell und roar of gun
Bend the tidings up nud down.
How the belfries rock and reel,
How the great guns, peal on pual,
Fling the joy from town to town !
Ring. O hells?
Every stroke exulting tells
Of the burial-hour ot crime.
Loud and long, that all may bear,
Ring for even li-tening ear
Of eternity timf TIinu !
Let its kneel :
God's own, voice is in that peal.
And this spot is holy Ground,
Lord forgive us ! What are wc '
That our eyes this glory sec,
Thai our curs have heard ths sound
For the Lord
On the whirlwind is abroad ;
In the cartliiiiiike He has spoken :
He litis smitten with His thunder
The iron walls asunder, " .
And the gates of brass tire broken !
Loud and long
Lift the old exulting song, '
Sing with, Miriam by the sea ;
lie has cast the inighty down :
Horse and rider sink and drown ;
He has triumphed gloriously I
Did we dare
In our ngony of prayer
Ask for more than He has done ?
When was ever Ilis right hand
Over any time or land . '
Blret:hed as nitw Ix'ttcath the sun '.
How they p.tlo,
Ancient myth, nnd song, and talc,
In this wontler of cur days.
When the cruel rd of war
Rlossonis while with righteous law,
And the wrath of man is praise!
Wotted out !
All within ninl nil about
Shall it fresher life liegin';
Freer breathe the universe
As it rolls its heavy curse
On the dead and buried sin '.
Tt is done !
In the circuit of the sun
Shall the sound thereof go forth.
It shall bid lis sad rejoice,
It shall eive the dumb n voice.
It shall belt with joy tire cart It !

! NkiV Vokk, Feb. 14. I From the New
I York Times, j Mr. il. S. Foole, late intm
jbcrofthe rebel Congress, and who came
through our lines in the Shenandoah Valley,
left on Saturday in the City of Cork for
j Liverpool. Ho was sent here under guard
j from General Sherman's command, to re
1 port to Major General Dix, and was most
I of tlio time during his sojonrne in this city
; the guest of Col. William Ludlow, of Gene
I n-al Dix's Stuff. It is -understood that the
j alternative was presented by ottr authori
ties to Mr. Foote of retui-niti'' to Richmond.
' r of going abroad, and he chose tlie latter.

1 them, Lee, with his army, would fall back
1 to Lynchburgh, nnd there emleavor to make
a stand. Ilis army would m such case be
come demoralized, could not ho held to
gether, and could not be supplied.
Mr. Foote thinks that the leaders will endeavor-to
leave the country, anil the cam
paign on the part of the rebels would des
cend to guerilla fighting.
Conventions will be held by the people
of the different Southern States, for the
purpose of issuing n call for the
fessii.ion
of fighting, and for the withdrawal of their
Stafo troops from the Confederate armies, ;
anil they will throw themselves upon the 1
magnanimity of the United States Govern-j
ment. Mr. Foote is prepared to i.-sue nn
address to the people of thu South, urging 1
them to ccasu fighting, to give up t lie con- '
test, which is so clearly fur them a hopeless
one, and us no terms but unconditional sur-.
rentier can be obtained, to promptly accept j
such terms. "
Mr. Foote also represents that the tin-
popularity of Jeff. Davis at tlu South is .
very great ; that tlio people liavu lot-t till
confidence in him, and iu ids ability to an- j
eomplish the objects tit' the War ; t'.iat their j
form of government 4s aapivtly approaching r
an absolute despotism ; that the questions,
ax svery arm 01 cma.ic.paiion nave ueen
settled by the operations of our armies; ami :
that the South woultl gladly assent, ns :
condition of peace, to a scheme of gradual j'
emancipation. 1 hat tlio mission 01 Me
pliens. lluuter antl l ampla ll, was only a
ruse on the part of Jeff. Davis, and a forced
concession to thu peace men of tho South,
who are admitted by the Richmond papers
V- ......
to be in tormuhtble slrengtn.

Should nn disaster befall Shcrmnc. and
Grant, the closing hours of t-Ua Conli:orcy
are near at hand. The return of Mr. Sie
vrtia to Georgia , without participation in
the war meeting held at Richmond, indicates
to Mr, Foote.' miud un intention on his

the adoption of the policy recommended by '.
Mr. Foote. Tlno views of a nun who has 1

firmatory of what is believed ty thoughtful
people everywhere at the North.

ted company of conspirators against a gov
ernment which he cxotnirutsci from all re

! his speech, delivered in the Convention
I called to determine if Georgia should secede,
j Mr. Stephens 6iiid;
I This step, once taken, could never be re

j consequences that tnttst follow, will rest on

i this act of yours will inevitably invite and

j harvests shall be trodden down by the nmr

over our land ; our temples of justice laid
I in ashes ; all the horrors and desolations of

I be held responsible, for it? And who, but

Again, gentlemen, look' at another tact
When we have asked that mote territory
should be added, that wc might spread the
institution ot slavery, they yielded to ottr 1
demands, in giving us Louisiana, Florida
antl Texas. Out of Texas four States may j
be carved, in due time, if you by this unwise j
and impolitic net do not destroy this hope,'

highly valuable paper prepared by Mr. M5(

important features for the benefit particular

leged to be preferable to Hat or clay soil,
and it is better to be friable, ami not apt to
bake after heavy rains, and all the better
for having southern exposure. The ground
