Attached to tfcw Hoose is afiood stabla where the Ucrt ot oats and hay and attentive hostlers may be ill, Wehivesometbmgto say to the mechanics of Alton, and to tbe farmers of Central Illinois. It is an acknowledged fact, that were it not for Jsbor-saving agricultural machines, tbe present undertakings of Illinois could not bo accomplished. The reapers, threshers, shelters and ficperators are annually doing the labor of thousands of men in the West. And, ear after year, more of these machines are to be found in the barns and granaries of our farmers.

The counties adjacent to Alton are noted for their grain bearing. Better wheat, corn and oats, cannot foe raised elsewhere, East or West. From ten to twenty of these counties are'in daily reach of Alton, and as their, natural outlet to a market. "These, counties, yearly, demand a large quantity of agricultural macbincs of almost every and they will them. AVell, what can they find in Alton? They can get the best of reapers, threshers, wagons, and gteim engines.

But there is not a plough, harrow, or fanning mill; a grain separator, or a corn shelter, made in Alton. Ihe consequence is, our merchants who sell these articles, nnj the farmers who bay them arc constantly paying tribute to manufacturers in other We have seen steamers arrive at St. Louis from Pittsburgh, with their upper decks covered with plows, and otber agricultural tools, which are destined to till the soil of the West. And fromNorthera Illinois, every season, comes down-n great quantity of reapers, threshers, and inventions of every description, to supply Central Illinois and Missouri. At St.

Louis articles are made, latterly, and thebusi- ness there iff very rapidly increasing. Alton in our'opinion for the manufacture of agricultural implements. vA manufacturer of any good machine demanded by the peculiar -wants of the country, can do well here. Wood, coal, iron, every needful shipping facility, a chpiec of building sites, in fact, all that can be desired to carry on a manufacturing business of thii de- tion. A machine has just been brought to Alton which is-entirely neiv in these pavts, and is a most perfect specimen of mechanical fngcnu-' and labor-saving efficacy, as well as simplicity and.cheapness that we have seen this long time.

It is called the "Escclsior Grain and Seed Separator," and was invented by Mr. G. B. Salmon, of Illinois. The make of the mill is too complex to give in writing a full idea as to how it is'put together or works.

But, what can ic do is the question, necessary for us to ansiver. It is used by hand, and purports to be capable of cleansing from to forty bushels of wheat per hoar; it "will separate from wheat, chaff, cockle, garlic, smut, dead grain, and otber impurities. It will clean gross seed and clover, and separate the one from the other. These results are accomplished by a peculiarly 'ormcd scive, and a slide, which enables the iperator to use whatever rush of air through the machine he chooses. The millers machine upon the same principle, but capable enlargement so as to clean any amouot per.

tour between fifty and two hundred bushels. The price of these machines is for the irdinary size for farmers, and a- greater charge in proportion to any machine appears to bo endowed.with to beablejto decide ietween tbe good and the offal. The most amalgamated mass of seeds raay.be thrown nto it, and, in the twinkling of an eye itwil tick out the good, and place it on your band clean and free from impurities. Mr. W.

C. Attix, the Proprietor of this patent right for Illinois, is now in our.city, and wishes to have these machines maanfac- ured here, if some of our mechanics will go ato it. The thing is bound to 'armer who raises much small grain will have me, and a handsome b'usiness is guaranteed the manufacturer. That mechanic who ias a very iitllo capital, and much energy and gb-a-headativeneas, will do see Mr. will talk t3 the farmers a little, about too, for when we come across agcod thing, vo like to publish'it.

We saw this little 3rain Separator in operation hi one of par -warehouse. A quantity of wheat screen- ngs was obtained from ono of tbe mills, and he most foul lot that could be A miller would call it worthless, for grinding, rnn through the Separator twice, and learly every sound kernel of wheat was taken rom it, leaving nothing but cheat, otber fieive was put in, and we saw clover and timothy seed, which was mixed about half ind half, separated sufficiently practical purposes. Another scivc was pat in to clean corn, another for oats, beans, The machine is about half the size of an ordinary fanning mill, and two men can carry it by its londles with perfect case. It is a great improvement on any fan mill wo have ever seen. An old farmer obanced to step in the warehouse, last Monday, to.

Our, citizens will rejoice at this movement; there is great room for increase in churches and religious societies. Wo shall be picased to chronicle the success of this new Mission: Alton Eission. By the letter of Bro. Knight in this weeVs issue, we are infortaed tbas tbe Vandalia Presbvtery have token steps to establish a mission at Alien, Illinois, and that the services of Kev. T.

II. have been secured for the station. We are S'id to hear of this movement. We regard -Alton ns very important for such an effort. From re- iabie sources, wehavclearned that the church edifices and church facilities already in thai thriving city, do not supply the demand.

And dint there is an extensive opening for tnoio churches and increased efforts on the part of Evangelical Christians, to increase the facilities for the moral improvement of the city aud surrounding country. 'In attempting to add another to the. already respectable list of churches, occupied by various sister denominations, tbe Cumberland Presbyterian Church wishes to assist, and in no sense to retard thchsppy influence and operations of others. We wish to co-operate together as brethren, to accomplish the moral elevation and re-generation of our race. We lave noc room at present to say iaore The Grand Bivision.

This body did not adjourn its session till last Thursday, and on account of tho impossibility of getting away on the evening train of cars, largo proportion of the delegates were csinpelled to remain over till Friday morning. This meeting of the Grand Division is said to be the largest and one of the most interesting and important ever held in the State. Its assembling in our midst, we joliove, has awakened an interest in tho ob- iccts aimed at by this association, even out- iido of the organization, which will have an important hairing on. tho cause of Temperance. On Wednesday afternoon, according to in announcement of last week, the members in attendance tho Grand Division, and several of the subordinate Divisions in this vicinitv, joined in a public demonstration at the Eastern Methodist Church.

The procession was formed at the Masonic Hull under the direction of Hon. K. Yatcs, as Marshal, and J. W. King, A.

C. Clayton, and II. Patterson, as Assistants, and marched in the regalia of the Order to the tion. J. A.

D. The -military rpint was aroused through; out the Territory. Companies of "Ranger V' conipos'ed pf volunteers were, formed, aod were soon scouring the country mvanons directions on the Illinois and Sangomon river', and through the interior from the Wa- onsh to tbe Alissisippi. Dan Pose put himself at tbo head -of a small company of volunteers, and undertosk to drive olf a band of hostile Indians which been prowling about, occasionally visiting thesottloments in the southern part of the Territory, and committing frequent robberies anil occasional murders. In tho company of Rose, besides ten or twelve regular back-wopds riflemen, were three or four boatmen, including Lynch, and tbe Tennesseean already known to tbe reader; Tim Rose delined going.

Ho had devoted him elf to a continued starch forhii lister's daughter, and had determined to visit Hew Orleans for that purpose. In tiian a v. e'kafter the declaration of war was known, Rose and his men were equipped vith everything necessary, armed with the deadly rifle and hunting knife, and on their way in search of the savages. In frontier counties, the departure of such a band, and on each an expedition, was an event that interested the whole community, There was hardly, a family which could not at least number a dear friend, a brother or father, in that little band. Jfo wonder then that there was a general turn-out of tbe villagers to witness their.

It was the universal rule to take no spirits with ttem on such occasions (unless for tho purpose of medicine,) and tho Rangers did ample justice to Mr. ATilson's ccnnes," as being tho last they would get for sometime. At the close of the first day, Captain Rose's company had reached the salt-works, they proposed to spend the first night. Here the expedition waa joined by a Tory valuable little Frenchman, named LBSDRE.

During tho forepart of the night, the men were gathered about the furnace fires, ronstiag corn, which was just then "in the- milk," and made a pleasant and wholesome food. Lesure sat down in their midst and talked, for hours. "You secsar, Cappitan Rosa;" said be, Vo do ver loctel like da peepels do.

Whether Lesure thought possible to con- nno tbe climax any higher than tho word Yankee is uncertain. At any rate, any far- her attempt was cut short by an nnharmoni- ous concert of cow bolls which suddenly b-oke ipon the s.illaess of the night; and made the orest ring with its copper discord.

The fellow had secured a good horse, and twenty or thirty bells, worth a dollar apiece. Henceforth, old Sol was a hero: and during the whole expedition never got done talking of bis success in outwitting the Indian. Dan Eose questioned the negro closely to learn whether there were other Indians in the neighborhood.

Soloman had seen but one. It wus nearly certain, however, that a single hostile Indian would not venture alone so ne ir the settlement. Telling tho men to look to their rifles, and posting sentme's, Dan Eose warned tho men to be ready to take the trail by ftiiy-break, and laid himself down to sleep. Before sun-rise the next morning, tbe-Ban- gers had partaken of their homely breakfast, and started search of the savages." 1 Taking old Sol's fishing Sre as a starting point, they traced the Indian's horse up the north fork of the Saline creek several miles, where tnoy found a stiil burning. Here it was evident anuinber of Indians bad camped the night before.

A fresh trail, still distinct, led off from the creeks directly, north; of several horses were found Rose addressed his men, telling them that IbV Indian who losi.the hose had no doubt given the alarm, and prompted the whole band to oosten pat of search of the settlement quick as possible for fear of pursuit. He. warned bo on their, guard against surprise; and then poshed on in the direction of the trail with all At dork, they had reaohed the border of a prairie, without coming in sight of the savages; though their "trice" was distinctly seen, leading across the prairie. Hero Rose rested his men an hour. Then telling theio that the Indians were no doubt occupied on the other aids of the they could not get wood any nearer, and would not be apt to go they commenced again their march.

The prairie aboutfoar miles Taking their conrso by the stars, the men proceeded on in silence until they reached the opposite border of the prairie. Here, as Rose had predicted, they saw the light of tha Indians' amp-fire. The men therefore halted, rhile Rose himself went forward to reconnoiter. He found the savages nnder the bluffbank of a small creek, where, with the water on side and the bank on the other, they had bnilt their fire in such a manner as to jjnard against By stealing up in the'bead of Che creek, he was enabled to sec them seated around the fire, apparently unconscious of danger. He made them oat to be ten in number, and distinctly saw several scalps dangling from one fellow's girdle.

Two or three borses were also tethered on the bank. On returning to his little band of Bangers, Rose divided them inti two parties: They were to approach the cwek at a right angle mtil they came within a hundred paces, when the two parties were to passing jelowand tho other above the Indians. Rose's party were to Sre first, and before the Indians recovered from the discharge, tho other party were to pour in their Sre on the remaining the two divisions reached their positions, a new difficulty arose. The shape of the creek such that tbe two patties and the Indians formed tbe three points of a triangle, and right behind tha savages, and against the bank'; of the creek, was seen a white hand and foot. If the original plan of attack was carried out, this poor fellow was sure to receive the convening fire of both parties.

Rose hesitated but a moment; Knowing tbatlbo othorpar- ty would wait for. his fire, he adopted a new expedient to draw the Indians away f'om their prisoner. Going into the woods a little dis- iind catching half-a-dozen lightning bugs, which "were Hying in abundance, he poured tho contents of quart bottle of 5-hisky on the ground, put thelivingfire-fiies nto the botttle and corked it up. Then set- ing tha boTtle afloat in the erect, he returned his men and awaited the Itproved is he'anticipated. 'The savages saw it and j-cre completely mystified.

Five Indians before the remaining five recovered rom their surprise, tho other party delivered heir fire, and three more fell. Thoremain- ng two leapt up the mounted tbe horses and escaped in the darkness. One of these ran by the prisoner, ns bo went; struck lira a blow upon tbe head with the tomahawk. After re-loading their rifles, both parties approached to examine the slain.

Among the irst to reach them was old Solomon, the ne- Talcing it for granted they were nil he imprudently ventured into their midst, was dragged down by nn old savage while in tho very death-struggle, and killed by a single plunge of tho knife.
