There is now on exhibition in the rear of No. 60 Ann street, New York, a machine in activo work which, from tho character of its labors, can? not fail to awaken general interest. It stands at the further extremity of a court-yard, and, from its simplicity of form, might bo passed by un? noticed. Nevertheless there is much to see about it, and its work affords pleasant field for reflection. It is a machine for making bricks, nothing more, and although not the first of ita kind, it has peculiar qualities worth making a note of. It consists principally of an upright cylinder, standing. on a revolving diso, all standing in a space cf about eight feet square, and weighing two and n half tons. The top of the cylinder is about breast high, and into it is easily thrown the clay, which is then simply watered. There is no other preparation. The machine does its own tempering. Within the cylinder revolves an upright shaft, furnished with blades set at an angle, which cut up and temper the clay, at tho same time pressing it downward into the brass moulds in the revolving disc, as fast as they aro brought round. By a simple arrangement the clay is further compressed ns it travels round, and is then tilted out -a perfect brick in a few moments, and lifted off reudy for haoking. Owing to the want of space fo? dumping clay, the labors of the ma? chine yesterday were necessarily of short duration-while the material lasted. But enough of its working was shown to astonish the visitors. The bricks turned up on the table or revolving disc much moro rapidly than two inexperienced hands could remove them. They were perfect in shape, of smooth surface, and so com? pressed that they could be handled without soiling the fingers. The rapidity with which the unshapen clod turned out a "perfect brick" was truly astonishing, and suggests the hopo that the promised machine to grind up the old folk and turn out babies is not a myth after all. An engine of 15-horse power drives the machino exhibited yesterday. When at its full working power, two men are required to shovel in the clay, two boys to remove the brick, three to truck them off to the hack, in which they are piled for prepara? tory drying, prior to being placed in the kilns. With this force, assuming the clay to be laid down at the ma? chine, 30,000 bricks can be easily made, trucked off and hacked in ten hours. This is truly remarkable, and there is fair reason to hope that the advent of tins machino is a pro? mise of reduced prices in the build? ing material it supplies, and, as a consequence, rednced rents. The machine is tho invention of Mr. Gard, of Chicago, where it is now in extensive operation, and where, on ono occasion, it turned out 44,500 bricks in a single day. It will re? main on exhibition at the place above named for some time, where it will well ropay the visits of machinist, capitalists and the curious. THE COTTON CHOP OP NORTH CARO UNA.-The Wilmington (N. C.) Jour? nal states that the reports that they have been enabled to gather in re? gard to the cotton crop of that sec? tion, and, in fact, the whole State, indicate that the yield will be about equal to that of last year. The num? ber of acres under cultivation is much less than was the case last year, but the yield to the acre has been de? cidedly better. On the whole, the farmers have done well with the in? different labor they were enable to secure, and have cause to rejoice that their fortune has been thus fl;ood. Ex-Gov. Orr's determination to j leave South Carolina and tako up his residence in Missouri, cannot fail to be regarded as a misfortune for the State in which he has hitherto exert? ed so much influence, and which now needs the services of all her judicious citizens more than ever before. From the close of thc war, Ex-Gov. Orr has boen zealous and unwearied in his endeavors to adapt tho politi? cal action of the State to the changes brought about by tho war. He has appreciated the nature and extent of thoso changes more truly than most of the publie men of the State, and has not shrunk from the responsibili? ty of snob action as they require. He has urged the wisdom of acting in harmony with tho dominant senti? ment of the North-of accepting the Reconstruction Acts of Congress, and of re-organizing the Southern Stato Governments in accordance with their requirements. He was for protecting the freed slaves in all their newly-acquired rights, and for giving them the share of political power to which their numbers enti? tle them and which is necessary for their protection. He has been the true and judicious frieud of his State in her timo of sorest need, aud hos encountered the sharpest and most bitter hostility of tho re-actionists and rebels who aro resolved to re? claim their old authority. We are not surprised that he finds it neces? sary for his personal welfaro to leave the State and renew his career else? where. But his doing so is a calam? ity for South Carolina. [New York Times. General Sherman has written a let? ter on tho present condition of Iudiuu affairs, which is full of practical good sense. He points out, with startling brevity, the insufficiency of his forces to guard the vast territory which lies open to the ravages of hostile savages. [Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. Ii there were not so urgent a ne? cessity for a large number of troops to sustain the radical carpet-baggers and their negro proteges, in their efforts to get the votes of the South? ern States for Grant and tho Smiler, General Sherman might havo abun? dant force to subdue the Indians on tho plnins, but the "very life of the radical party" depends upon keeping a large army in the "reconstructed" States, and the people of the Western Territories must defend themselves the best way they eau. [Newark Journal. To be perfect, a woman must have thirty things: Three white ones skin, tho teeth and the bands. Three black ones-tho eyes, tho ej'e-lashes and the eye-brows. Three pink ones the lips, the breast and the nails. Three long ones-the waist, the hair and the hands. Three short ques the teeth, tho ears and the tongue. Three narrow ones-the waist, tho mouth and the ankles. Three deli? cate ones-tho lips, tho fingers and tho chin. Three small ones-the nose, tho head and tho feet. Three round ones-the arms, the legs and tho hips. Three large ones-the fore? head, tho intelligence and the dowry. These thirty things havo never been found in one woman, because perfec? tion does not exist in the world. Why should a chimney sweeper be a good whist player. Because he always always follows soot.

It banishes those clogs upon plea? sure, restores tho system to hipu health, and necessarily proves a valuable adiunct to the digestive organs. A trial ia all that is needed to establish it in thc confidence nf the skeptic. September 30 tG "MANHOOD."-Another New Medical Pamphlet .'rom tho pen of Dr. Curtis.

THE WEEKLY GLEANER, A LABOE EIOBT-PAQE JOURNAL OK NEWS, POLITICS, LITERATURE. An excellent Papor for Conntrv Reading. ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC IN TUE OBEAT FIOUT AGAINST RAOICAL USURPATION. TO T??: PEOPLE OF THE SO UTIL THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to tho rehabilitation of the South in its former prosperity-is offered to subscribers at tho low rato of $1 50 for six months. The annals of tho American Republic show no political campaign comparable in thu magnitude of its issues and the mo? mentousness of its results to that for the Presidency, now pending. Indeed, tho very lifo of freo government is on trial, and it will ho a sad commentary on tho capacity of tho people for tho exercise of that high truBt if they, the jurors who aro to try tho issue, pronounce a verdict of self-condemnation. If tho South has any hopo it is in the success of the Democratic party in tho coming Presidential election; and every citizen is vitally interested in the progress of tho battle, and cannot afford to be without a sound and reliable newspaper. As an organ, not only of sound Demo? cratic principles, but as a vehicle of ge? neral nows, tho GLEANER is confidently commended to Southern support. A largo eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns, lilied with tho contributions of able cor? respondents, tho daily wealth of tele? graphic communication and readable edi? torials. Especially will it bo valuablo aB an organ to disabuse the Northern mind of the falsehoods in relation to Southern thought and actions, with which it is the industrious vocation of certain parties to poison the springs of Northern feeling on Southern subjects. In this view of the mutter, no moro valuable aid to thc true reconstruction of tho country and restora? tion of just sentiment at the North toward the South can ho rendered than by sub? scribing to tho WEEKLY GLEANER and sending it to acquaiutai ces and friends in thc Northern States. We . sk the aid of such of our political comrades as shall seo this prospectus, in tho distribution of the paper; especially during tho progress of the impending campaign. Tho WEEKLY GLEANER is published every Wednesday morning, and mailed to single subscribers at $8.00 per ai.um; Six Months, $1.50; Three Months, 75c; Singlo Copies, 10c.
