EVENING. STAR. | WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY .. August 5, 1857. es SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The lutelligencer is, to-day, devoted to news, The Uniow argues that the attacks of South- ern newspapers on the Administration is ope- rating to keép alive dissensions among the New York Democracy; and exposes the fact that “Hinton Rowan Helper,”’ the North Caro- lina author of ‘The Impending Crisis in the South—How to meet it,”’ an abolition book just now being greatly bepuffed at the North, is no other than Helfer, the author of a-beok on Cal- ifornia, Nicaragua, &c., replete with ultra pro-sinvery sentiments, who, before emigrating to the Land of Gold, perpetrated a financial exploit on his partner which should have right- fully consigned him to narrow quarters. ee — i WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Sexator Rusx-Dgap!—All in Washington ‘were horror-stricken this morning by tho an- mouncement. per telegraph, of the suicide of Senator Thomas J. Rusk, of Texas, by shooting himself through the head with ari‘le, which oc- curred at his home on the 29th of July ultimo. As yet no particulars of the circumstances un- der which this awful event took place are known to the public of the Atlantic States. Those who knew him intimately—and none knew him thus except to love and revere him—will alone fail to be surprised at the event. Previous to his advent in the U. 8. Senate in 1846, he was dis- tinguished almost alone as a pioncer soldier, in which capacity his courage, good sense and un- varying urbanity won him universal popularity in Texas, where the remarkable powers of his expansive mind wero then as unknown to the public as elsewhere, except to the few who witnessed the proceedings of the (Texas) Convention of 1545 to form a State constitation. In the Senate of the United States his acquisi- tion of great fame as a statesman was as slow and regular, as sure. Daniel Webster, shortly before his death, repeatedly Pronounced his to * be the greatest intellect among the members of that bedy, and such was the opinion of him held by the leading minds in thi ‘ity from that day te this. He bed as great antipathy tooratorical display as te partizan polities, which induced him at all times to eschew oratorical demon- strations upon mere political subjects, though always firm, and faithful as the most faithful, to the principles and measures of the Democratic party. Among the leading politicians of the party, more especially in public life. it was generally conceded that in case of a protracted contest in the next Democratic National Con- vention over the Presidential nomination, the choice would have been must likely to fall upon him, as being obnoxious to no interest in-the party, and most confided in by all. We knew him well throughout the last nine- teen years, and never knew any other public man to be more entirely unselfish, so conacien- tious in all his thoughts and aets, public and private, or to possess more traits of character euch as win for their possessor the confidence and esteem, and, indeed, the ardent affection of men of mind and abiding personal character. Asa father, husband and neighbor, he was loved as few men are. ’ In early life he frequently gave way to un- governable temporary spells of dissipation, wherein he lost his usual command over him- seli. Later, however, he gradually gained con- trol over his passion for such outbursts, until they had become very rare with him. While in them, his friends often feared that he would injure himself with weapons, and were careful as far as possible to keep them out of his reach His wile died some eighteen months ago, and thus the strongest chord binding him to life was enapped. He grieved over her death like a child for its mother. It preyed upon him atall times, aftecting him daily more and more, though few, indeed, were aware that the joss of the sharer of all his early toils—the best and truest friend he ever bad, the soother of all his troubled mo- ments, the ohject of his purest and most devo- ted affections for twenty-five years or more— had broken his beart ; for he loathed parade in such matters. as in all things else. That ina fit of undue excitement under such cireumstan- ces, he should have committed suicide, does not surprise us. He leaves no abler American statesman behind him, and the world will never bebold a more conscientious and upright public man. Sometaixe ror tur Lapies.—Yesterday morning we took oceasion to examine, at MeGregor’s, on Seventh street, near Louisiana Avenue, the Ten Doilar Sewing Machines now being exhibited and vended there, and have to expressour belief that the inventor has produced the article which is destined to revolutionize the economy of most of the households of the country. Thet is, todo away with half the sewing by hand now necessarily practiced in nearly every American family. We are fa- miliar with almost all the sewing machines in use, none of which, exeept this one, ure soli at rates likely te bring them into universal requisi- tion ; from $100 to $159 being more money than three fourths of all the familiee of the country can conveniently appropriate, even to do away for the most part with the labor of its female members with the needle—certainly with cuffi- ciont of that labor to make the balance a pleasant pastime, rather than the irkzome task of the female's life Knowing the prices of other machines tor the same purpose, until we examined this of Wat- eon closely, we could not conceive how it can be cold for ten dollars. Its remarkable simplicity, however, explained the fact at once. There is more true genius apparent in its in- Ventor’s zpplication of simple mechanical prin- ciples in the simplest conceivable ways, to pie. duce the effects desired, thun we ever before #aw developed in a machine of any deseription. At is, therefore, a rare triumph of the human in tellect, and as such, should he examined or cally by all who take pleasure in noting the progress of the world in the really useful arts Itsinterior working parts must be seen in motion to comprehend how completely the inventor has, in its arrangement, supplied the place of mat- ter by mind ; or, in ot¥er words, how grent his triumph bas been ia making little and very simple machinery perform services which, in ail other machines we know critically, are only secured by the use of a much greater variety and complication of parts. Without the treadle, it is a little affair that can easily be put into « box a foot square and high. On the right hand side is a small epst iron wheel, four or five inches in diameter—a fly-wheel—witha light handle; by which motion is given tothe machine when the sewing is done without the treadle and the foot—which may be used or not, at pleasure This fly whee! is on the main shaft upon which is bolted or east the main eam that oper- ates in its motion the lever that works the “ feed’ that moves the materia} being sewed, under the needle; nlso a lever operating the needie, which, in its motion, draws the thread off the spool, the spool being held in position and steadied by a smal! spirs spring under which it rests on its little perpendicular axle. This main shaft, or rather the eam dram upon it, also operates by eeventrie gearing, a lever at Fight onste< to it, (wien at rest.) hy which ic worked, iu turn, a hook made to revolye half round by another cam arrangement, as well as backwards and forwards, and thus to catch the stitch.

All acquainted with machinery will at once comprehend, from this brief description, the extraordinary simplicity of this beautiful little the shaft of the hook to steady and ‘eae thing, when compared with the parts of all other. sewing machines; and hence its almost entire freedom from getting out oF order when prop- erly cared for. Its simplicity is a guarantee that it will rarely require repairs, as its every part is substantial, though light. Like all other sewing machines we know, its work (sew- ing) will draw one way, unless tho end of the thread be “ caught’’ or secured with the needle in hand. That, however, is a sort of finishing work, requiring very little time, and one to which all are accustomed who can use the needle. The work of this machine is as substantial as that of any other sewing machine. We have seen it tested, in a coat made with it, and such is our judgment uponit. It is calculated to perform the work of ten females, upon ordinary straight-ahead sewing. We omitted to mention above, that the length of the stitch is regulated by two adjusting screws regulating the lever operating the needle, and that the height of the little feed- plate is also regulated by a pair of adjusting screws, so as to receive under it the finest linen cambric only, or a material as thick and sub- stantial as doubled broadcloth. We repeat, this machine is a most important invention, destined to find its way into hun- dreds of thousands of families in this country, wherein it will enable the females of them to accomplish with the needle, in the most ordi- nary and necessary description of sewing, ten times as much in the same time, as without the sewing machine. If any other, notwithstand- ing its low price, possess advantages over it, we were certainly unable to discover them. We advise all the ladies of Washington to call at Mc(iregor’s and witness its operation. Tue Tracgevy at Gounspono’, N. C.—A late mail brought us the following communica- tion on this subject : Go Lpvssoro’, N. C., Jaly 31, 1857. Editor Star: 1 in the Star, a paragraph en- titled “The Tragedy at Goldsboro’, N. C.," to which I beg permission to cali your attention. Whoever gave you the inforsation coutained in that paragiapb, imposed sadly on you and your readers. It does not contain a single fact, from beginning to end. 1 will therefore endeavor to se! the whole matter truthfully before you, aud as brietly as possible. Odenheimer is a petty trader in this town— dealing in ready-made clothes, horses, mules, whisky, &c.,&c. Le travels around the country secking to make a living. It was but a couple of weeks before the late tragedy that he was caned, in an adjoining county, for having sold x notori- ously witd, :un-away horse to a physician there. He-sold him for a gentle horse, although he knew him to be one of the most vicious animals iinagi nable, having bought him as such froma citi of thistown. He ran away with the physician, broke his buggy, and endangered his life and that of a yoony man who was in company with For this le was caned, and the Doctor, submitting in court, was fined one do! This is bat one (and the irast agy ‘avating) of the then- sand little matiers that make up his life in this region. How the affair came about between Odenhei and Davis—having unfolded a leaf in his ch: ter—I will state b:iefly. Odenbeimer had a quar Tel on the ret. two months ago, with a respectable merchant of this town, and D?. Davis, standing by, prevented them, fo: some time, form coming to blows. ‘Tired of this, Davis retired, and Odenheimer rushed on his oppone: the: met somehow—and O. pat down hie antazoniee, being mach the strouger man.

For this, Dr. D. Punished his servaat but ove looked Odenbeimer, We now come to that account or + bill.) De Davis did owe Odeuheimes 2 small Dill, and was willing to pay it. Odenheimer had sold some articles to one (or perhaps two) of the Doctor's slaves, without the Doctoris permission or order, and, Without 1 ming either of the accounts to the Doctor, ie gave thein toan otticer for eollec- tion. The Doctor, when warranted, admitted the correctness of one of the accounts, so faras he knew, but refused to pay the other. They were both made out against the Doctor. You will now see, Mr. Editor, that Dr. Davis did not cane Odenbein: for daring to sne hin at law to collect a bil But first, for having threatened him , secondly. for having suld whis- ky and other articles to lis slave witbout his or- der, verbal or written; and thirdly, for * daring to sue lim at law to coliecta bill” contracted with his negro.

Pennsylvania avenue, and indeed every other street of Washington, was deserted from noon until night by all who could possibly avoid showing their noses in them. The atmosphere was cold for the, season as weil asdrenching. Of course almost all business in the city, requiring persons to be out »n} about, was suzpended. Every one in trade in Wash- ington were thus caused to feel the effect of the weather. Indeed, yesterday was the bluest day experienced here since Jack Frost was last with us and in the height of his glory. To us the storm felt like one of the fall, rather than mid- fummer. On the whole, the day was one in which porrons disposed to study over the very best way of draiuing the streets of Washington had a better opportunity to note the course and volume of floods from sudden storms here, than any other we remember to have experienced: beyond it. ee a eae you will confer a favor by for the gutters were rivulets for consecutive sewer mouths waterfalls suf- ae NAvauCounrs or Ixquiny.—The case Mari: fore Court No. 1.

After the discharge of Mrs. Cunningham from prison, she informed Dr. Uhl that she was preg- nant, and wished him to aitend her during her confinement. The doctor said he was will: ng to do so, on condition that other physicians might t ssist him, as so much had been said of her, that he thought ar tate precaution pera ey a ther suggested the propriety of settling the fac of her fregesnoy without delay. Hesaid thathe would be willing to attend her ety for that purpose, in conjunction with two other phy- sicians, whose names he mentioned. She readily acquiesced, but from that time to the present avoided all further allusion tothe sub- t. This aroused the doctor’s suspiciens, and he spoke of it to one of the = whom he designed to call in to assist him, and thought it important to hasten the examination. if the fact was as she stated. Uhl then consulted counsel, apprizing him of the whole case, and asked what © urse he ought to pursue. The latter advised caution and delay for a few days, when, if the matter did not appear right, to lay the whole matter before the District Attorney. Dr. Uhl at length did inform Mr Hall, the Dis- trict Attorney, of the case, made his attidavit,and wished to leave the case in bis hands. The District Attorney, however, said it was a sold d he owed the public to continue in the case. ix friends counseling him to the same course, he followed their advice, and placed bimself under Mr. Hall’s direction. Ubi continued to call upon Mrs. earre erg and it was finally ar- ranged by Mrs. C that Dr. Catlin, of Brooklyn, sbould attend her, and Dr. Uhl should consult with him daring the fictitious child-birth. Catlin privately told Ub] that he had concocted the whole scheme himself. The District Attor- ney then hired a room (No. 1%) Elin street) in the name of Dr. Montagnia, and furnished it from his or house. Dr. M.tben gota new-born infant in Bellevue Hospital, toxether with a nurse, last night, and Dr. Ub] was sent for to go there and assist in carrying the scheme through. Mrs. Cunningham was then given to under- stand that there was a woman xoing to be taken sick, and that the child conid be obtained. She then intimated that she would send a lady there to look at the premises. Subsequently a lady went there to look at the place, who proved to be Mrs. C. in disguise. About 9 at night the same lady called again, was asked to walk up stairs, did so, got the child ina basket and took it away. ‘The detectives on her track identified her in the cars as Mrs, Cunningham. She was traced to No. 31 Bond street. Soon after, she sent for Dr. Uhl, telling him to come immediately, as she was in labor. He went, was ushered into a dark room, and found her in bed, apparently in great pain. | © A nurse was sent for from Second avenue to take the child and wash and dress it. Dr. Catlin brought ina pail containing blood. smeared the sheets, and performed other forms peculiar to such cases. At this juncture the police came in and arrested her and ail the parties implicated. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The child was represented to Mrs. Cunning- ham as that of a *‘California widow,” who found itconvenient to get rid of it as she Was about to meet her busband after considerable more than a nine months’ absence ‘The plan was given to Mrs. Cunningham, who was highly pleased with it, and became impa- tient to have the denouement.

Thursday, July 23, was the very shortest time for the “or inary gestation,” as spoken of by Judze Dean, under the theory of the marriage before the fogate, and so the first week in August, beca the settled time. After the “birth” Mrs. Cunni: zhamexclaimed, “I have put my trast in God, and he has favored me; I shall now be revenged upon my prosecn- tors.” Upon the arrival of the police she undertook to be very saucy, and said the child was her legtti- mate child.
