* Boggard'* Rice Pounding machine. "Wo direct the attention of our readers to the following correspondence, as found in the Sumter Watchman. This invention is of particular interest to rice planters of the South, and wo trust will receive the encouragement which_ it merits:? "We publish to-day an extract of a letter from S. A. Heath & Co., of New York, of the Inventor's Exchange Office, to our friend and fellow-citizen, Jos. S. Bossard, highly commendatory of lii?, lately patented Machine which he has so long ana so oraenuy endeavored to bring to the notice of the Southern Planter, and to those of our District particularly. Mr. Bossnrd'a Machine, or model of the one ho has had in use, was exhibited at the late Fair in Charleston, and underwent a critical examination. It was there first seen by Mr. Heath, whoso practical knowledge and long experience in machinery, enabled him at once to discover the peculiar merits of thi3, and drew forth the following letter to the Inventor. We understand Mr. Heath has taken possession of this modehgmd makes the following proposal: J. > "Mills Hocse, November 19, 1859. J. S. BOSSAIU), Esq.?Dear Sir: During the last week the model of your Combination Rice Mill, and mnra nnrhVnlnrk- vour Rice Pounder, lias been under my immediate charge, with others, for exhibition at the Institute Fair. "I had previously formed an exalted opinion of its merits and practicability, Many planters, who are more competent to judge of its practical merits than myseu, speaicoi it in ine inguest terms. n long experience in the Rice business, and your experiments with the invention, has already.convinced you of its utility. If you will put me in possession of a small amount, we will have one of these Mills in operation in a short time. I will take hold of tho matter and push it vigorously with youl The want of such a combination is seriously felt among the planters, and I am of the opinion that your invention will meet tho required wants. At any rate, I liavo yet to find the first planter who raises any objections to its practicability?and many who desire to 3ee it brought into market. Ifyou piace means within my reach, I will agree to have a Combination Mill in operation in the city'of Charleston by the tenth of January next. This combination, I doubt not, will find already sale, and amply remunerate all parties. Please give this your early attention, and let me hear from you previous to royleaving Charleston. .. ,-! am, my dear sir, yours truly, a A HEATIT, 37 Park Row, New York. The Hickman aicdEdmuiidaon Affair. -"Wecopy the following from the "Washington States: Wehavq never seen the Hon. Mr. Hiokman. We have read his speech, wherein ho proclaimed that if the Southern States should dare oppose a Federal law, some eighteen millions of Northern people would cross the Potomac and reduce them by force to obedience. TH;>Tpfnro xrn t.hnntrlit tTinf TTnn MV TTMrmnn was a military man of great powers, who will come at ? the'bead of these millions, with bis bashing sword, His prancing charger, and his sounding trumpets, for'all the world like Gengliis Khan, Timour the Tartar, or any other conqueror he may choose to adopt for his modeL "We had likewise seen where the Hon. Mr. Hickman was reported to have said that "John Brown, at the head of fifteen white men and three negroes, terrified the whole State of Virginia." Thereupon we haid to ourselves?this ferocious Hickman is .a resolute and stalwart fellow, who fears nothing and can make no allowance for tho timidity of other people. The Hon. Mr.- Edmudson, of Virginia, is well known its a mobi courteous 'and unexceptionable gentleman. But under a very quiet demeanor he carries a chivalrous estimate of the respect due to his own personal honor and that good name of the State to-which he belongs. So it chanced a few days since, as the Hon. Mr. Hickman was leaving the House of Representatives, he was. followed and accosted by Mr. Edmundson, who held'him to account for tho slanders uttered by him against toe State and people of Virginia. vThat nn Mr' Tfipkmnn ? -1- ,rr iwt mwin t/i " lilifrffpcLiimcr was ^^" ^^^""i^nenc^Messra^^HCtanuCnngmna, who, when leaving- the Capitol, at the same time, seeing from < Edmandson'a manner that he intended to chostiso . Hickman, and knowing that they wonld be placarded , in the Tribune next day for a conspiracy to beat an ( unprotected froe-soiler, ran up and seized Mr. Edmundson; who Straggled very violently to inflict farther indignities upon the affrighted Timour. According to our information, Hickman's hat had been knocked off, and ho had staggered back with an aspect and -attitude of the mostabjcct alarm. Mr. Keitt cried out in a loud voice to Mr. Hickman, "Pick up 7onr hat "and go away toe can't hold this man all day!" and added to Mr. Breckinridge, who was passing at the moment, "Take him along." The bewildered Ilickmnn collected his Lit and mechanically obeyed the conservative counsel, and soon, like one of the discomfitted. heroes in Homer, "ascendod the Black ships," or tool refugo in some Republican stronghold. Nor has ho been since heard from, so far as wo are advised, by cartel, mQitaiy proclamation, or otherwise. M.\soxic.?The Grand Royal Arch Chapter of South Carolina, has been in session at the Masonic Hall, in , this city, since Tuesday last The session was closed at 12 o'clock, 1L, Thursday, with the election and installation of the following? officers: .

GOOD tyTCH.?Some few days since a valuable negro fellow, belonging to a gentleman in New Orleans, was arrested in this city just as he was about to take shipping for the North. He left his master's employ in December last, then having.in his possession $200 in money, and managed, by bribes or otherwise, to get to Richmond, after travelling two months and spending $80. "When first captured, he stated that he belonged to a resident of this city, but afterwards gave bis owner's name. As soon as ho was locked up, his master was telegraphed in New Orleans, and returned a message to have him sold to the highest bidder, which, no doubt, has been done. "When detected he had secured passage on a sail vessel for the North, and would have been on i>oard in tho course of a few hours, but for the anxiety of tho detective to securo him Richmond Dispatch. ?? "Washington" Statue.?A beautiful life-size marble statue of Washington, prepared by the great sculptor Powers, for Washington Lodge of Free arid Accepted Masons of Fredericksburg, Virginia, has arrived in this city, and will be exhibited for a short time at Mr. J. W. Davies' marble store, on Ninth-street, in Mechanics' Institute HalL The figure is certainly one of great beauty, and will be admired by all lovers of the fine arts. Washington is represented as standing with his right hand resting upon an open Biblo, on which is lying a square and compass. In tho left hand is a scroll, so natural in appearance that it may well be taken for a roll of pure white paper. Tho figure is clad in tho striking dress of the olden time, shorts, silk stockings, Ac., and lies on the regalia of the Masonic order.?Richmond Diipalch. Deatii or Lb. Wm.

William Irby, who breathed his last, at his residenco, on North Rabun, in this District, on yesterday morning. No particular disease was thought to be the immediate cause of his deatii, but it is attributed, principally, to feebleness and general decline. Dr. Irby was about sixty-eight years old, and was honored, loved and respected by every one who know him. Laurensvilk llvmld. CONGRESSIONAL. TVashixgtos, February 13. Seriate.?-Tho* death of David E.

Cokesbury Depot, February 16, I860. Something Very Mysterious?Perhaps a Murder ?Certainly a Robbery.?On Friday, the 10th, the road hand of the Greenvillo and Columbia Railroad, on the Cokesbury Station, found, between the Deadfall Bridge and the Camp Ground, a pocket-book and some papers, scattered along the road about a quarter of a mile. The pocket-book and all tbepapers were opened. Some of the papers I consider valuable to the owner. On one of the papers was written, "J. W. Shelton, Bamberg, S. C." The day after the finding, I addressed a letter to Mr. Shelton, or the post-master at Bamberg, informing tliom that I had the papers, Ac., of Wm. Cummins, but no money; stating how and where they were found, and desired them, if they knew anj'thing of Mr. Cummins, to let him know where his papers were. Yesterday, I got the following letter: - -f Bamberg, Feb. 14, 18GO. j Mn AP^Tjrn-k-Llc<^Bl^>?I_arA.il mi Nut <W* ter concerning the pocket-book, &you have.

From the appearance f of tho articles, I feel confident they had been dropped out of the car the same day they were found. They c were perfectly dry.

"Whilst the innocent child was playing around a light-wood stump, which was on fire, the flames were communicated to his clothing, and he was burned so badly before his elder sister could strip him or extinguish the fire, that ho died the next day. He received his injuries about 11 o clock on Saturday, and yielded j up liis spirit on Sunday morning at sun-rise.

You maybe able to attack and kill < him, but if you do, you will have to go homo and tell ] your folks you had to fight for it. He told me to stay ( here when he left. It is our home, and I will stay in ( it while one brick is on top of another." nor little 6on , coming up at this moment, shouted, "Hurrah for Texas and death to Cortinas!" The brigand chief laughed heartily, and giving the boy a piece of money, took his departure. Tho house of Isham Watson, of our district, was entered and robbed of upwards of two thousand dollars ou the night of the 25th ultimo. A drawer was taken from the house, carried some fifty yards off and there rifled of its contents, including the amount of money stated above; from the clubs left near the place, there is no doubt but the thieves wore prepnred ana intended, in case of discover}', to commit murder rather than givo up their plunder.

Colquitt A Warren, is an able and reliable Southern States Rights journal; In a late number we find the following-correction of a strange and'unwarrantable misapprehension of the position and design of South Carolina in her late proposition to the Southern States. The Times says ? "Our cotemporary of the Enquirer is mistaken in' reference to the proposition from South Carolina to the Southern States. It is not, ns ho states, " to hold q. wuiviuiyu ui wic Q)Uil> UI MIU L* JUUUUH OI IX .DJHCK Republican President,"'but it is to hold a Convention of the Southern States, anterior to the Presidential election, to consult upon the course of action proper to be taken in view of what has happened and what probably will happen to affect our position in the Federal Union. It is not proposed that any State shall he'1 bound by the action of said Convention. It is simply a proposition for a conference of the Southern people. It is an appoal for harmony aud union. The overwhelming power of Black Republicanism in the North, the proclamation of purpose by its leaders, the recent development and demonstration of the ulterior design*of that party when it shall get control of the government, create such a necessity for union among us, that wo are unable to see how any other than n patriotic motive can be assigned to*thc instigators of the movement? Surely, if wo cannot agree to meet and confer upon measures promotive of our peace and safety, under such circumstances, we might as well make up ottr minds to endure patiently whatever our enemies may exact" It is gratifying to see that there are those yet to be found who have the magnanimity and manliness to do our State justice in her present attitude towards the enemies of the Constitntion. That we have been most unjustly and basely maligned by fawning sycophants of the present Federal Union and Government, is no wonder when it is remembered that South Carolina, as a State, has undeviatingly shown her utter repugnance and unwillingness to subrait patiently to the gross injustice and hostility uniformly evinced towards the South and its institutions by the dominant party at the North. That such unscrupulous huckstcrers as Governor Houston and the ike, should impugn the motives of our State in its ecent proposition for a conference of the Soutl*rn i leople, is no marvel: for, it would be strange if City lid not. Such may malign with impunity; malevoencc comes natural, and we should seriously question j he propriety of any course which the State was about ( o take, if it had the sanction of such characters.?

The old fogys of Virginia, iu the days of Patrick ETexhy, cried out treason when his tongue of fiery clopicnce warned them of approaching danger, but yet le lived to see his prophecy fulfilled, and his counsel iceded. Indifference and opposition to counsel upon great imergcncies has more than once proved disastrous in esult. eOn the eve of the battle of Camden, the craven learted Gates charged the veteran DeKauj with fear, iccause, as second iu command, ho ofiered couhsel.?

When the steel clad ranks )f Britain pressed victoriously forward, Gates left DeKald to light alono, and sought safety in flight.

C. Aver .t Co., of Lowell. So particular are this firm, as to tho articles used in compounding their various remedies, that they have this drug, like some others they consume, gathered for them by a skilful agent of their own in the tropical regions of its growth. lie informs its llmt there are many sjiecics or tins plant, hut two of which are really valuable in medicine ; the q. alities of these are also a Heeled by liie time of p thering. in ale- of eurimr. etc., operations which that region of unreliable workman imposes a heavy labor upon him. One of the inert varieties of Snrsaparillu grows wild in our own forests, while several others, nearly worthless, abound in Central and South America. The intelligent agent assured us that the virtues of this drug had never been fully told, and the reason of the low esteem in which many hold it is mainly due to the importation of such immense* quantities of the worthless varieties. His accounts of his trips In Honduras and his business excursions along the Gulf of Guide and the rivers of Motagua and Santiago and among the adjacent mountains were of intense interest. We can but commend and honor his employers for the faithfulness and energy with which tlicv execute their trust as ministers to the public health, and we suspect that this course is at least one of the reasons win- their medicines are held in such extraordinary favor throughout the civilized world. 5?tin. * Ktw Yum City News.
