We have had on our table for some weeks, / -'but we have- been --prevented- from using it sooner by the pressure of other matter, a der .ascription in the Nashville Farmer's Banner of, -a'tiew invention, called the "Cotton Leaf I 'Cleaner and Boll Picker." The inventor has! ' obtained a patent for it. He is a cotton plan- ; - > i i .i?? ! N.-i;"- ter oiJYianaina, ana is sum 10 ue ? gvunuiu.u. | - ?-orime euucaiton <wd pcrn*ral iufoi Illation. He ! is making alterations in the machine, aucT will ' :>soo? liave his models ready for examination x?nd trial. The object aimed at by him is to :^-..bring into use an instrument for picking cot..ton and to improve its value by removing the _ leaf and dirt, and thus send it clean to the gin. '7- rV Speaking of this invention, a correspondent - " ofthe Banner says: * V>- > It comes, a welcome ally, to aid the great "*rmy of cotton-pickers, whose labors are ' tedious and severe, It brings iron fingers and *inule muscles to do the work now done by hu/man fingers, and thus accomplishes in three V "v" days'-what now requires six. It can be worked "'-Tl/by any power that will work a gin. A portsi-r" bie horse-power set up in the field will he con j .>*!*' venfent, and can be extensively used in Octo. <^?"V.ber and November, when the seasons are dry. I . The cotton bolls are to be gathered with as j jl- little care as you would corn, and taken to j } "the machine, either in the field or under sliel j *;j5' ter, as the case may be. Then the machine ^ V.and the mules take out the bolls, leaf, dirt, and . V* everything, and the cotton comes through the gin as middling to good middling in quul; ity. Such a machitie, to the cotton growers of the : United States, is worth millions, prov'ded it ^ean be made to do what is intended by the inx Iverrtor. The object to he accomplished is not without difficulties, and if the first machine, m*: which will soon be presented to the public for -inspection, makes an approach to the end * * f llO jv', . aiinea at, we may icn cuuiiuciit Hint miv uv>w? j*. will soon be remedied by the genius of American talent, and that cotton will be picked by *??/' : iron'"'fingers instead of human, which will be *f'l\ Cqual fo doubling the field force during the ' n gathering of the crop. ?>v''? A planter "..who cultivates with fifty hands, -,3fe .may, by the aid of this machine, have what h equivalent to one hundred hands in gathering, -1*-Lipid that without the'expense of feeding them. -WHe is thus enabled to save all that he can *)F>.make, though he may cultivate the best bottom y^ Jands of the Mississipni, Yazoo, Arkansas, or f ' Old Caney^ The hands can be kept out of the j-.vfdew and their health preserved. .

Corn in fh?? nnr T do not. consider ffood feed for mileh cows, hut when ground is exoell-nt, and rendered still h( tter by mixing with it about half as much rye meal as there is of the corn meal. " But I am acquainted with no kind of grain which will cause cows to give more or better milk than oats; .but these should invariably be boiled, and stand until cold before being fed ; but my experience in feeding boiled oats will not enable me to say whether a profitable return can be had in the milk ; my impression is, that they are not profitable as a feed for milch cows, although it would depend altogether on the relative price of milk and oats at the place where they are fed. "In common with everybody else, I, of course, have a notion of what coarse I would pursue feeding cows, if I wished to sell milk in market: and although mv theory may be no hotter than another man's theory, still so far as observation and experience goes, I have some advantages over the mere theorist without any practical knowledge. My plan would be to feed my cows throughout the entire year, except when pasture feed is abundant and thrifty growing, and for that purpose I would sow, broadcast or in drills, a sufficient amount of Indian corn to enable me to give my cows through the summer all that they would eat at all times, of green, succulent food; thus securing an abundant flow of milk. And (or winter, I would want a sufficient quantity of the same kind of fodder, well cured, with perhaps an oc! casiona! feed of good bright hav, hut I would not care for the hay, only let the cows have all the corn fodder they will eat, and a small allowance of meal, and my word for it you will get an abundance of first rate milk. "As an addition to the above I would want carrots to feed if I could get them in the win ter, and by the way, I think carrots the best ' root crop foP milch cows there is raised in this country." I' ' ??? HHisrfllimrnus. From (he Xew York Express. The'Valley of the Amazon. There has been much talk of late about a " happy valley," which is supposed to be on the other side of the. mighty river Amazon.? The valley has been represented by some to be pleasnnter than the Vale of the Temple; they say Its air breathes balm; its trees drop fiankincense, sweetest flowers sprinkle its savauj nahs, and birds of wonderful plumage flash I from branch to branch; a soil of strange fatj 7 O I ness yields a thousand told return to the most I careless laborer, and genuine gold glitters in j the sands of every little stream. What a fine I nlaee ? to make money! Why should not | awarnis of our enterprising Yankees rush, thither, colonize, multiply, grow rich, and finally come into the Union on the principles of the Nebraska Bill? Thus is the drum editorial beaten by ingenious paragraphisis. Now, we do not believe more than one tenth of what is said in regard to the Valley of the Amazon ; at least, we desire to suggest, that before everybody goes there, somebody should present the dark side of the picture, in order that everybody may not get humbugged in the belief that ihe tropical regions of South America are a Paradise. Let us look at the attempts which have been made to enjoy this Jb!>icu. In 1807, the King of Portugal essayed to make Brazil the centre of the great Portuguese Empire, mid her ports were for this object thrown ooen to the commerce of the J , world; but lor some reason or other this precious valley of the Amazon remained almost unexplored. Some time ago the Peruvian Government engaged with a German Baron for the importation of twenty thousand Europeans to the Upper Amazon. About twenty months since, the first instalment, two hundred, arrived at Baballo Cocha, just abovo the Brazilian frontier, settled on the lands, and enjoyed the' aid given them by the government, but a correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce says that a party of Americans who came down the river a few days ago reported that all but ten-of the Baron's first company had left the country, and ' that the remaining ten would have gone, but they bad not means enough to enable them to leave. Again the" Amazon Company," under the guidance of a gentleman rejoicing in the name of Ireneo Evangelist* de Lousa, in the year I 1852, obtained from the Brazilian Government | an exclusive right to navigate the great river for thirty years, and to receive a honus ot one hundred and twenty thousand dollars per annum to help the enterprise along. This ar rangement has"'been changed, and the Company will receive after the first of January next, twojiundred and twenty thousand dollars per ^itinhni. for ten years; by relinquishing their exclusive privilege. Vet with this fat bonus, report Baysrthat the population, trade, travel and transportation of the "whole Aiuaz^gwiil; hardly'support the Company's steamers?^ The Provincial Assembly of Para has voted $27,000 annually to promote foreign immigration, but as the money is to be expended oil Portuguese iininigrants^fii<fhe,and as ail coining to that region havtffijgien disappointed, it is not likely that the^Hmnee will experience much benefit tVoniJ^dp^fOpriation. The ab<^|^^^ro"-principal efforts which nave UCCIMI'OUO W VUIVIII1.S vino ivi I.iw u-iuii, The^dfreftiied from the physical character t^B^oValley "of the Amazon, and probably Bpho other reason. The immigrants comMlHini of incessant rains, of ravenous rnusquiptoes, scraggy and spiteful ants, enterprising ||ttnd flies, and venomous serpents. Animal Fife is prodigiously and fantastically developed. Huge crocodiles snooze along the slimy river bank; strange lizards crawl lazily over the decaying trunks which have been prostrated by some hurricane, and queer-looking birds.flap through the tangled branches of the damp forests. Beasts of prey roam around, seeking what they may devour, and settlers are-not surprised if a lion drops in to luncheon or a tiger to tea. Nor . is the vegetable kingdom less remarkable. Trees and shrubs, with their parasites, grow between a swampy soil and a burning sun, with a prodigious rapidity, and is they die and decay they exhale most deadly vapors. Europeans and Americans are continually annoyed by enervating diseases, in comniuison with which the "user" of Southern i I w Illinois is a light affliction. They grow weak, inactive and sleepy, and are at last forced to leave the rich valley to its lawful inheritors, the strange beasts and huge vegetables. It is well to look at both sides of the picture of the Amazon Valley. There is no need for Americans to rush thither, while in their own country there is so much rich and healthy land to be occupied. The Valley of the Mississippi is worth a dozen Amazon Valleys, and still there is room it?room for hearty men to work out for themselves a fortune. In the temperate zones, we must still look for the highest developments of man's character. The Uni ted States, more especially the Western por tions, are the best for human effort. (We need not go off and swelter among the swamps and servants of South America. "Cultivation of Mind.?The following is the substance of an address delivered bv .Mrs. " ' ,,r -r t iriannan \> asson, 01 juiine jmhumruu, uciuic her pupils, on the last day of the scstion. We publish it by request of a fiieinl of the fair author, and who informs us it is a' first attempt.' Our yorng females will find many thoughts by which they may profit. The human mind has ever been considered the noblest and greatest. It is like all things created?capable of cultivation; and just in the degree that the mind is cultivated and rendered pure and perfect, are we fitted for ratinoal happiness and pure enjoyment. Education is the grand Lamp to knowledge. It reflects that brilliant light which reveals to us the beautiful tilings of ibis world?yet opens our minds to the Higher World, where all is peace and J happiness and joy for evermore! The immortal mind was termed to feast in the inexhaustible fields of knowledge which lie open to all around us; nothing is wanting to invite us to its delicious least but the will; for the will forever will make for itself a way; nothing is wanting but a taste to prefer the ennobling and satisfactory cultivation of the intellect to the ennuity of Idleness. Knowledge after all constitutes the only difference between man; and man; it is the first and most essential clement of power; it is the germ of all our enjoyment, success and happiness, throughout life. Education is the flower of the intellectual mind, just as virtue is the Hower of the pious heart. When God created Adam and Eve he placed them in a garden where it was easy to do right as wrong. It was like walking on level ground as easy to walk one way as another. But this world is like the side of a mountain. Since Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden ' ---? !< - I- III I- .1-- ..I ?? II nun, ii ib up inn luwarus me piuuu ui imun-^ joys. Therefore it bihooves us to take the upward path. When we get in the habit of sliding on the downward track it is hard to stop. The path becomes slippery by the wear of habit. It is hard to succeed all at once; but we must have hope and courage, and you will surmount the difficulties that beset the paths of life. Dear pupils I must now take my leave of you and you of me for the present. When you are engaged at home, in the school of every day life, and if you encounter problems of difficulty, turn to your hearts and call upon that Higher Teacher our l ather in llenven, for the patience ofknowedge. Go, on then with, a laudable ambition and an uuyiclding perseverance in the path that leads to honor and renown. Press forward; go on and gather laurels on the side of the hills of Education and Virtue; linger among their unlading beautics; drink deep of their crystal fountains, then join in the march of fame; become learned und virtuous and you will be great; love God and serve him and you will be happy. Do not be afraid to think for yourselves; you know not the high destiny that awaits you: you know not the height to which you may soar in the scale of intellectual existence. Go on then boldly, with unyielding perseverance, and if you do not gain admittance into the temple of fame, strive at all hazards, to drink of the I'oun lain which gurgles from its base. A Newspaper.?It was Bishop Ilorner's opinion, that there is no better moralist than a newspaper. He says 'The follies, vices, and consequent miseries of multitudes displayed in a newspaper, are so many beacons continually burning to turn others from the rock on which they have been shipwrecked. What more powerful dissuasive from suspicion, jealousy and anger than the story of one friend murdered by another in a duel '.' Wiiat caution likely to be more effectual against gambling and profligacy, than the. mournful relation of an execution or the fate of a despairing suicide ? What finer lecture on the necessity of economy, than the auctions of estates, houses and furniture? Only take a newspaper, and consider it well?pay for it, and it will instruct thee.' ?? Pleasure Op Readi.no.?Of all the amusements that can possibly be immagiued for a Mr/\rlfinrr mnn after hia duilv toils, nr ill the in b # J > -tervals. here is nothing like reading a newspaper or a book. 11 calls for no bodily exertion, of which alredy he has had enough, perhaps too much. It relives his idleness and samenees. Nay. it accomplishes hiin to his next days work, and gives him something to think of besids the mere mechanical drudgery of his every day occupation; something he can enjoy while absent, and look forward to with pleasure. If I were to pray for a taste would stand by me under every variety of ctrcumsancus, and be a source of happiness of and t herfuluess to mo through life, and sheild all its ills, however things might go amiss, and the world frown on me, it would be a taste of reading. JUIV ?? IV MV W\?t The duties of life are not all of a great and exciting port. There are many duties in every day , hul there are few day; in which one is called tofmighty efforts or heroic sacrifices. I am persuaded, that most of us are hotter prcpaied for great emergencies than for the exigencies of the passing hour. Paradox as this is, it is tenable, and may be illustrated by palpable instances. There are many men who would, without hesitation of an instant, plunge into the sea to rescue a drowning child, but who would break an engagement, or sneer at an awkward servant, or frown unjustly on an amiablo^wife. Life is made up of these little tilings. According to the character of the household words, looks, and trivial actions is the true temper of our virtue. Ilence there are many men reputed good, and as the world goes really so who belie in their domestic life the promise of their holiday and Sunday demeanor.? Great in *he large assembly, they arc little at the fireside. Leaders perhaps, of public benevolence, tliey plead fur universal love, as the saving principle of the social compact; yet when they are among their dependents they are peevish, morose, severe, or in some other wav constantly sinuimr against the law of kindness. Why do you begin to do good so far off? This is a ruling error. Begin at the centre and work outwards. If you do not love your wife, do not pretend for such love for the people of the antipodes. If you let some family grudge, some peccadillo, some undesirable gesture sour your visage toward a sister or a daughter, pray cease to preach bencficicncc on the large scale. What do you mean by ' doing good V Is it not increasing human happiness ? Very well! Hut whose happiness? Not the happiness of A. H. or C. in the planet Saturn, but that of fellow terrestials; not of the millions you never see, so much as that of the hundreds of scores whom you see every day. Begin to ; make people happy. It is a good work?it is i the best work. Begin, not next but within j your own door, with your next neighbor? i whether relative, servant, or superior. Account the man you meet the man you are to bless. Give him such things :is you have.? This is the question. It' .1 dollar will do it, give the dollar. If advice will do it, give advice. If reproof will do it, give reproof. If a look, a smile, a warm pressure of the hand or a tear, will do it, give the look, smile, hand, or tear. Hut never forget that the happiness of our world is a mountain of golden sands and that it is your part to cast some contribulary atom almost every moment. Aim Hioh.?Endeavor, by a firm and steady course of action, not to disgrace the name you bear, but to place it one step higher on the j broad ladder of high and enduring fame. Place your standard high! Go towards it straight forward and unerring in youth, steadily approach it in manhood, and in old age, if you have not attained it you will have reached a far higher point than you would had your aim been lower. 1 j )o not leave your name to sunt iiiiuooscurHv , but Iiv some noble and beneficent action place 1 it amongst those names that posterity will j bless. Would that the standard of men was! to see who could do the most good. Then the only great would be the truly good men. If, after a toilsome life, and long bulleting with its trials, your name is not amongst the great of the land, feel not cast down, nor think that you have lived in vain. Far from it ; yuwr j life has been continued victory, and you rail j meet death, feeling that there is for you a i blissful eternity, and that your reward is yet, to come. Austrian Music.?There is not in Europe ' V I a more musical my man maim Vienna. a?t only every female, but every man in respectable life, is capable of taking a part in a concert.? In making up parties for the purpose of this delightful amusement, no kind of formality or economy is observed. A gentleman for a quar tet or a quintet in the evening, walks out in the morning for the purpose of inviting any friend j he may chance to meet; ami as the slightest j previous acquaintance is sufficient, no difficulty occurs. The love of music is so general, and the ability to play on some instrument so common, that it is usual for a gentleman not to engaged any man-servant who is not snllioiently master of some instrument to occasionally accompany him, and join him in his concerts, if wanted. The number of music-shops, and the rapidity of the sale of music in Vienna, are prodigious; and there is not a respectable private house withoutjcano Ibrtc. JV. Y. Musical Rcvicic. >*. A Few Days.?This seems to ho all the rape at present. The Lousisvillo Times thus takes it off, which suits this section exceedingly well. 'You present to a man a small account he will pay it in 'a few days;' the river is expected to rise in a few days,' business is to be better in a' few days;' pretty girls expect to marry in 'a few days;' nigger boys whistle a'lew days;' brass bands blow out a 'few days;' high fellows sing a 'few days;' you can hear the sly musouito, who steals under your bar of a night, singing on his horn that he expects to leave in a ,few days,' and we expect to give the reader some interesting local items in a 'few days.' And we hoj)e .some delinquent subscriber come up respectable firms in Liverpool, "wHipse dealings in Sea Island Cotton are among the largest, thus writes to its correspondent in Savannah : "The French Colony of Algiers, in Africa, is likely to compete with the United Statos in the production of fine Sea Islands.

Interest is rating high 011 all classes 0 paper outside of the banks?whilst our hank; are compelled to reduce their accommodatior to the lowest possible amount, Yet they ar< showing a disposition to ameliorate.matters a.much as it is considered safe for them to do Our citizens should be lenient towards eael other, and show a disposition to help instoac of pulling down, until a reaction takes plae< throughout the country, which must be tin ease sooner or later. Our hanks are sellinj exchange on the .Northern cities at par, whicl result has been brought about by reason of thi demand for money here being above that o New York; together with "the large amount 0 cotton hills maturing or already due, thus nc cumulating tunds in New Y'ork belonging ti our hanks. It is not, as some suppose, a gen oral creation of the balance in our favor, but only a temporary one. Stocks are selling 11: many instances below par. and few above. This tact is not produced in consequence of an actual depreciation of their values intrinsically but is entirely owing to the general want ol money, both 011 the part of the buyers and holders, incident to the general depression of the money market. ?3 ? A CoMPi.tMENT.?The Montgomery Mail speaking of South Carolina and of the selection of her public men pays her the following compliment: No State in the Union has been so uniformly jealous of her character in tiiis particular.? Virginia has been famed for her regard for met of standing and ability, and Massachusetts has been always disposed to pot her best talen forward, lint of late years they have fuller below th. ir ?>!d standard, while South Carolkit li?c rx.ntitni In II-iO llfir finest 11011(1.

Politics still retain some dignity in Soutl Carolina; but in most of the States a man'; advancement in public life depends on agoodh number of outside accompaniments. The natural result is beginning to be sufli ciently apparent. * Our best men in many sec tions of the Uuion, are seeking other fields anc other harvests. A wonderful change has cer tainlv taken place already, and hence the mark ed decline in our statesmanship, and in Con gressional and Executive talent. Time maj bring about a reform. The old patriarch ha done many good tilings in his day, and he i: not yet too old t<> right up matters in this por tion of his dominion. Without any sort o doubt, the American peoplo see the error o allowing their best men tolly from public life and dedicate their intellectual worth to othe pursuits.
