Since that ■ time we have, in passing the store of I Stovall & Co., the State Agents, no- them shipping several machines interior. We have also been the tollowing .ertiticate from who has recently l.ioiight of them : jg® Covington, Newton Co., Ga. | April 25, 1858. * f V I have been using one of Grover & ’ Baker’s Sewing Machines for nearly two years, and! take pleasure in re commending it to the favor of all fami- 1 lies. It is very simple and easy work- j ed in all kinds of coarseand fine sewing, doing it with neatness and strength.— | 1 would particularly recommend those j machines to planters and farmers, as being admirably adapted to all planta tion sewing In my county there are a number, owned in different families, and with out an exception they give universal s itisfaction. John T. Henderson. Excellent ami Valuable Publications. Wo have received a call and cata- j logue from Mr. J. Cumming, Agent for various new works and new editions is sued by Messrs Blakik & Son, 117 Ful ton Street New York. Among the j works we notice a Magnificent Imperial Family Bible., to be issued in 38 parts, at 02 1-2 cents each, which excels any edi tion of the scriptures we have ever seen. The Imperial Gazetteer, in parts, 50 cents each—the whole sl7,—is an invaluable work for geographical reference. Italy, illustrated, is also an elegant work. — | We have not time, to-day to mention I other of the elegant publications, which j can only be obtained from Mr. Cumming, j the Southern Agent. He will remain in our city, and as soon as he ob tains a regular office, will make furth er announcement of his works in our colums. “ He who rises late may trot all dgy hut never overtake his business.” So ; said Dr. Franklin,. A cotemporary} l says: “ We have watched those f Hows i who are early risers, and as a general thing they are the first chaps who go to • the groceries of a morning.” —.tv* i The Chinese have a proverb : “The . greatest liar is lie who talk most of . himself." Such men are not only rogues, but fools, for they are always sus- \ pected of the secret practice of vice when they make a great public flour- , ish of virtue. The highest price paid for domestic labor in Chicago, at the present time is $6 pm month. In that vicinity for farm labor $lO and sl2 per month. ■©■ There were 407 deaths in New York last week, 51 of consumption. — Rev.

It will be remembered that a sister of Hardesty was seduced by Grubb, and that Hardesty told the seducer that he would give him six months to make choice between marrying the girl and being killed. The six months expired, and Grubb not having married the girl, Hardesty met him, and on sight shot him. The evidence showed that Grubb was armed also in expectation of the at tack, but shot in the act of darning his weapon. The trial ended Thuisday, and the ver dict of the jury was, not guilty. The following is the substance of the judg ment pronounced by Judge Nutall upon the verdict of not guilty by the jury in behalf of Hardesty. Judgment of the Court. —Sir : You have been indicted by a grand jury of your county upon a most heinous charge.— You have put yourself upon your coun try and your God for deliverance. You have had a fair and impartial trial be fore them, and they have both pronoun ced you not guilty, and so say I. It may not be proper forme to express my sen timentsyet, nevertheless, I will do it.— j Young man ! had I been wronged as you have been, I would have spent every | dollar I had on earth, and all that IJ could have begged and borrowed and! then starved upon the track of the villain, but I would have imbrued my bands in his blood. Go lienee without delay. You are acquitted! THIRTY IFTH CONGRESS. Washington, May 3, 1858. SENATE. The morning hour was occupied in the discussion of Mr. Chandler’s motion to appropriate $55,000 to finish the channel improvements at St. Clair Flats. The debate assumed somewhat of a par ty color, the Republicans wishing to make it a test vote on the question of internal improvements. Mr. Kennedy introduced a bjll pro viding for the establishment of a line of! steamships between certain ports of the United States and England’ which was appropriately referred. Mr, Bright introduced a hill for the} construction of a wagon or military road in the Territory of Washington. Mr. Pugh gave notice of his intention | to introduce a bill providing for filling vacancies in the United States Districts Marshal-ships. The Senate passed the Indian Appro priation hill, and adjourned. HOUSE. On motion of Mr. Gartrell, a resolu tion was adopted that the daily hour} for the meeting of the house, on and J after Wednesday next, be 11 o’clock in stead of 12 o'clock. j Mr. Stephens gave notice that to j morrow, at 1 o’clock, he would move Ito take up the Senate bill for the ad ! mission of Minnesota. I On motion of Mr. Stephens, Wednes day and Thursday of next week were set apart for the consideration of Terri torial business. Mr. Grow asked leave to introduce a joint resolution prohibiting public lands from being exnosed for sale under pro clamation of the President, until the same lias been surveyed and returns tiled in the land office for ten years. Mr. Clemens objected. Mr. Green moved a suspension of the rules. Refused-yeas 74 nays 78. The House resolved itself into a Com-! mittee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and resumed the consideration of the hill making appropriations for Ithe Legislature, executive, and judicial! expenses of Government for tue year! ending June 30. 1859. The House adjourned without coming to a conclusion on the subject. Discovery of n Cave. Great excitement has been created in Brooklyn by the announcement of the discovery of a cave, near the Green | wood entrance. Thousands have al | ready flocked to see it. The discovery was made by two boys connected with I Public School No. 2, who wore playing on a hill near the entrance to Green wood, when the embankment gave way and they fell, and discovered the open ing of a cave. The boys fled upon this, and informed some gentlemen, who proceeded to explore the place. About J one hundred feet from the entrance! they found a large room, with shelves! all around, upon which were numerous} bottles, some full of liquor and some! jempty. In the middle of the room was! a table, containing books, and a large! lantern was suspended from the ceiling.! After being in the cave a short time, the gentlemen heard a horrid noise, as if proceeding from human beings or wild beasts, which caused them to boat a retreat. The length of the cave has not yet I been ascertained. The purpose forj which this place was used is a subject of much discussiou. The general sup position is that it lias been a deu of robbers.

The Officers and Directors of this Institution experience much satisfaction in lay ing before their fellow-citizens the foregoing statement, with a view to direct atten tion to the great Importance of Insurance, and thereby protect themselves from the Loss of property by Five. The Company has entered upon the third year of its existence, during which period the Receipts have reached the largo sum of eight hundred and fifty thousand dol lars, and they have paid Losses of more than st.r hundred thousand dollars, which is equal in respect to character of business to the very best and oldest offices in this City.

Extract from the Rejort of the Agent of the Omptrotler of the State of New York. Hon. S. E. Church, Comptroller, Sfc. Dear Sir Agreeably to your request, I have examined, I believe critically and fully, the affairs, condition and assets of the Great Western Insurance and Trust Company. 1 have seen and inspected not only their Books, which are well , kept, but the Assets under the heads of Cash on Hand, Bills Receivable, and Stock Notes, and feel perfectly safe in reporting to you that the four items of “Cash on hand and in the hands of Agents,” “Unsettled Premiums,” “Bills Re ceivable,” and "Stock Notes.” amounting to $93,858, are good, and available to the Company for that amount, or nearly that amount. I have taken some paint to ascertain the value of the Stool s held by the Company, having visited the sev eral Companies and conversed fully and freqly with their respective officers. The building belonging to the Company, on the corner of Walnut and Fourth streets, is a very fine freestone building, well built and admirably arranged; it* location is one of tbe best for business purposes in Philadelphia. I have called upon the gentleman who built it, and sold it to the Company, who informed me that it cost hlin over $70,000 cash. 1 think this property would be a good in vestment at $75,000. The Real Estate Mortgages contained in the statement of the Company are all good for the amount stated, and cover property worth at least fifty percent, more than the amount lor which they are mortgaged. From this statement it will be seen that this Company should receive your Certificate. I desire to arid that the Company seems to be intelligently and pru dently managed, and I find that it enjoys the full confidenceof thie business men of Philadelphia. [Signed] L. S. ( HA I MELD, February 14, 1858. Agent of Comptroller of Aew York.
