The Cuba Invasion Abandoned. 
Charleston, May 26.—The Cuban expedition 
is used up. The Comraander-in-Chief, Central 
Lopez, is in Savannah. Ho reached Key West 
in the steamer Creole, and his followers are now 
at Key West. 
The following is an extract of a letter, dated 
Cardenas, the 20th of May : 
“ Gen. Lopez accompanied by about 500 men, 
landed at this place, from the Creole, between 1 
and 3 o’clock, A. M., the 19th, 
“ We have not received any letters in two days, 
because as the invading force arrived they took 
possession of the rails for cars and engines, and it 
is said sent men up the country to tear up the rails. 
The invaders did not molest the inhabitants, al¬ 
though nearly every one took refuge in the ship¬ 
ping in the harbor. Wo trust that by to-morrow 
evening tranquility will be restored and business 
go on as usual. 
•• We open our letter to advise you of the safe 
arrival of our Governor with the two officejs cap¬ 
tured by Lopez near Paypeida. They fell in with 
a fishing smack, and it is said that Lopez agreed 
to put them on board on condition that the Gov¬ 
ernor would use his influence to save the lives of 
those left behind. Five of Lopez’s gang are now 
in the stocks.” 
Savaknah, May 26, 4J P. M.—The. greatest 
excitement was produced here last'night by the 
arrest of Gen, Lopez by the United States Marshal 
acting under the orders of the President of the U. 
States. 
His Aid, Major J. L. Lachezisnagua, was also 
taken into custody. They were carried before 
Judge Nichols, of the District Court. The Court 
room was densely crowded. 
No evidence being produced to justify their 
committal, the parties were released, and about 
quarter to 12 last night, amidst great cheering 
from the spectators, they were escorted to their 
lodgings at the City Hotel by a large number of 
citizens. Being loudly called for he came out be¬ 
fore the people and made an animated speech, 
interrupted by the plaudits of the multitnde. 
The N, Y, correspondent of the Philadelphia 
Inquirer says, that Lopez, just after landing at 
Savannah, immediately telegraphed to this city 
for men and ammunition. 
O’The Herald has the following from Wash¬ 
ington: 
The Spanish Minister has received a telegraph¬ 
ic despatch from the Spanish Consul at Savan¬ 
nah, stating that Lopez with 500 men, after tak¬ 
ing one town in Cuba, and finding no re-inforce- 
ments there, but a strong Spanish force maching 
against them, re-embarked in the steamer Creole 
and proceeded to Key West, from which place he 
and a few others proceeded in the regular steamer 
to Savannah where they had arrived yesterday. 
ICTThe Evening Express has the following: 
Wash., 29th.—The steamer Creole arrived at 
Key West on the 21st, having on board 600 men. 
She was chased by the Spanish steamer Pizarro, 
from Cardenas. 
The Creole left New Orleans the 7th, in com¬ 
pany with a barque and brig, the three having 600 
men and arms. 
After getting to sea, the men were shipped on 
the Creole, off’ Yucatan, and steered for Carde- I 
nas, which they reached on the 19th. They took ! 
possession of the Governor’s palace and took him 
prisoner after a battle, in which GO Spanish troops 
and 30 inhab'tants were killed. 
After this engagement the Creole put olT and 
returned to Key West, 
On her arrival at Key West, the collector sent 
an officer on board and seized,her, in the name of 
Government, for violating the laws of the U. S. 
The men are now at Key West, and a naval 
force is asked to prevent farther outrages from 
them. 
Gen. Lopez was there at the date of this dis¬ 
patch. 
The Capt. of the Pizarro states that he captured 
bark and brig which accompanied the Creole, and 
took from them letters and papers contntning full 
plans for the expedition. 
Failure caused by Embarking in the Cali¬

ware firm was announced in this city on Saturday. 
The liabilities are stated at ^160,000, and the as¬

THE MARKETS. 
Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, May 29, 1850. \ 
The prices of Flour and Grain have steadly ad¬ 
vanced since our last report, though the market is 
at present somewhat inactive in consequence of lim¬ 
ited arrivals. Good brands of Genesee flour readily 
bring $5 75. We hear of a sale of 200 bbls. at that 
figure. 
Wheat sells readily at $1 37L which may be con¬ 
sidered a fair quotation. 
Corn and oats have advanced, and are in demand. 
It will be observed that the advance in the price 
of produce is general throughout the country — a 
fact indicating that the quantity to come forward is 
much less than has been anticipated.

WHEELER’S PATENT 
IMPROVED RAILWAY CHAIN HORSE-POWER 
AND OVERSHOT THRESHER AND SEPARATOR. 
T he subscribers would respectfully say 
to the Farmers and others of Western New 
York, that they have been appointed the General 
Agents for the sale of the above machines by the 
manufacturers, Messrs. Wheeler, Mellick & Co., of 
Albany, and that they are prepared to fill all orders 
at Albany prices—adding only transportation.' 
These machines are favorably k'notvn wherever 
they have been used or exliibited. They have ta¬ 
ken premiums at many different State and County 
Fairs held in Massachusetts, New York, New Jer¬ 
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and also in Canada, never 
having competed for premium.s without success and 
flattering commendations. 
As many n.s 2,000 of them are now in use, of 
which over 500 were sold the past season. 
The accompanying cut gives a view of a two 
horse machine at work, with the hands necessary 
to attend it. It will thresh from 125 to 200 bushels 
of wheat, or twice the quantity of oats per day.— 
The one horse or single machines thresh rather more 
than half a's fast as the double ones. [F’or further 
particulars see advertisement of Wheeler, Mcllick 
tfc Co., in previous numbers of the Rural New' 
Yorker.]

Important to Grain Growers ! 
NEW SEED DRILL AND BROAD-CAST SOWER. 
T he Subscribers are making and vending J. W 
SHERMAN’S NEW SEED DRILL and 
DROAD-CAST SOWER, got up this Spring, and 
constructed upon a new principle; cheaper, sim¬ 
pler, and more durable and accurate, than any 
similar machine now in use. 
We are building three different qualities of these 
machines. No. 1, is a superior Drill and Broad-Cast 
Sower, and will sow fino manure (such as plaster, 
ashes. Guano, &c.,) broad-cast, or in the drill rows, 
any desirable quantity per acre, at the same time of 
drilling in the grain. It is well finished, substonti- 
ally made, of good material, and warranted —at the 
low price of Sixty-I'ive Dollars. 
No. 2, is built for drilling all kinds of grain. It 
will also sow fino manure, broad-cast, on crops._ 
Price $55. 
No. 3, is a plain Wheat Drill; simple, accurate, 
substantial. Price .$45. No7ie of our machines will 
clog in the runs; they cannot do so with the most 
difficult kind of seed; the DISTRIBUTING PRIN¬ 
CIPLE being not only entirely new brtt certain m its 
operation. 
We are prepared to supply all orders. Those 
wishing to purchase drills, would do well to see ours 
before purcliusing tlsewhero. The sooner the order 
is given, the moro sure you will be of getting your 
drill in time. Each macliino has 7 drill tubes. 
N. B.—Persons wishing to make or sell our drills, 
are ofl’ered a good chance. All communications or 
inquiries [post paid] will receive prompt attention

TO FARMERS AND GARDENERS! 
SEYMOUR’S GRAIN DRILL. 
T his drill, which was patented in Septem- 
berj 1849, is one of the latest improvements in 
Drilling Maclynes, and better adapted to the wants 
of the farmer than any other now before the public. 
It sows or plants all kinds of grain and seeds, from 
peas, beans, corn and cotton, to the smallest seeds— 
and combines the advantages of sowing either broad 
cast or in drills. It is an excellent Broad Cast Sow¬ 
ing Machine, when the drill teeth and conducting 
tubes, (which are very conveniently detached,) are 
taken off. 
Many farmers soak their wheat in brine or other 
liquid, (in which the good seed sinks while the foul 
floats oft,) for the double purpose of separating it 
from foul seed and rolling it in lime, plaster or other 
fertilizing substances. This has the advantage over 
other drills, inasmuch as it performs well in sowing 
grain thus prepared, while they utterly fail in the at¬ 
tempt. Wet wheat, oats or white caps, which so 
readily clog other machines, are not serious obsta¬ 
cles in this. Those who wish to soak their seed for 
any purpose wliatever, of mix with it any fine fer¬ 
tilizers, such as lime, plaster, bone dust, &c.,—and 
also those who prefer thrashing with a flail, to avoid 
the injury done to the seed by thrashing with a 
machine —will find THIS THE DRILL FOR 
THEM. 
WJien drilling with this machine, the grain fulls 
from the grain-box to the tubes, (a space of six 
inches,) in full view of the person attending it — 
so that, in passing over the field, he may be con¬ 
stantly ASSURED that the seed is deposited as he de¬ 
signs. The teeth are all raised from the ground at 
once, with one lever, and The seed all stooped at 
once; or one may be raised at a time, and the seed 
it discharges stopped. 
The convenience and simplicity with wliich this 
machine is managed is unparalleled. No necessary 
expense or pains have been spared in making it as 
desirable, in all respects, us possible, and after/na/iy, 
and the most satisfactory experiments — not in the 
winter on the floor of the machine shop merely, but 
m seeding time, with the fanner, under various cir¬ 
cumstances, on rough and smooth, hilly and level, 
stony and clear land — the inventor (who was bred 
a practical farmer, and ought to know something of 
the farmer’s wants,) feels assured that the machine 
is not only established on correct principles, but is 
got up in that simple and permanent style and good 
taste which cannot fail to suit all. 
The first premium, for a Grain Drill capable of de¬ 
positing fine manures with the grain, was awarded 
to this Machine at the Fair of the New York State 
Agricultural Society, held at Syracuse in Sept., 
1849. It also received the first premium at the 
Michigan State Fair, in 1849, and the first premium 
of the Ontario County Society. 
RE C OMMEND ATIONS. 
A few certificates, from the most reliable sources, 
arc subjoined;— 
Mr. Seymour — Sir: With the Grain Drill which 
I purchased of you this season, my son, a lad 16 
years of age, has put in about 50 acres of wheat for 
me, and with some of it about a bushel and a half 
per acre of ashes and hen dung was mixed, and all 
to my entire satisfaction. He has also drilled in 
about 100 acres for others, and I believe all are well 
pleased with the Machine, and I must say I prefer it 
to any I have seen. HIA R; PECK. 
East Bloomfield, Sept., 17, 1849. 
Mr. P. Seyrnour — Dear Sir: Yon ask for my 
opinion w'ith regard to the Wheat Drill I purchased 
of you this fall. Without specifying particulars, I 
would express my unqualified approbation of it over 
that of any other which I have seen in use. I am 
somewhat enthusiastic on the subject of drilling — 
believing it will soon be universally adopted by far¬ 
mers. I would not willingly disparage the patents 
of other individuals. 
In haste, with great respect, yours, &c.. 
Gates, Sept. 10, 1849. CALVIN SPERRY. 
This may certify, that I have used Mr. Pierpont 
Seymour’s Wheat Drill, and I consider it just the 
thing for putting in wheat. WM. OTIS. 
Rochester, Sept. 7, 1849. 
I have examined certian certificates in the hands 
of Mr. Seymour, in favor of his Grain Drill, one of 
them from Ira R. Peck. I am personally acquaint¬ 
ed with Mr. Peck. His statement can be tolly re¬ 
lied on. The other certificates, I have no doubt, 
are from equally reliable sources. I have myself 
heard the Drill spoken of in high terms of commen¬ 
dation, by farmers who Imd used it; and have also 
seen it in operation, and believe it to be at least one 
of the very best in use. I was present at the State 
Fair, in September last, where the first premium 
was awarded to Mr. Seymour for his Drill. I have 
the confidence that any statement which Mr. Sey¬ 
mour would be likely to make in regard to the Drill 
would be strictly true. ISAAC W. MITCHELL, 
Justice of the Peace.

■SEYflIOUR’S GARDEN DRILL 
Is a small Machine of suitable size to bo drawn by 
a inan. It is got up on the principles of the Grain 
Drill, and will plant peas, beans, beets, and even 
carrots, or any kind of garden seeds, mixed witlj 
plaster, N:c. It i.s very convenient for large gar¬ 
deners, as it will sow five rows at once as readily as 
the Garden Drills in common use will sow one. and 
is much les.s liable to clog. 
Seymour’s broad cast sowing machine. 
This machine is well known in Western New- 
York, and is universally acknowledged to be the 
best implement in our country, for the purposes for 
which it is intended. It sows correctly, all kinds 
of Grain, (and nay desired quantity per acre,) from 
peas to grass seed — including wheat, rye, oats, bar¬ 
ley, buckwheat, rice, hemp, flax, clover and tim¬ 
othy seed. Also plaster, lime, salt, ashes, bone 
dust, &c. Ac. It is capable of dusting every inch 
of ground on an acre of land with less than half a 
bushel of plaster; and thirty or forty bushels of 
lime may be thus evenly applied to the same amount 
of land, if desired. It sows 10 feet wide. 
This machine has been much improved by sub¬ 
stituting iron in several important parts in the place 
of wood, making it a very durable article. It has 
taken the first premium atfive County and two State 
Agricultural B'airs. 
TESTIMONIALS. 
The following certificates show the public senti¬ 
ment in regard to this machine; 
We, the undersigned, being well acquainted with 
Seymour’s Broad-cast Sowing Machine, do say it is 
well adapted to all the purposes for which it is de¬ 
signed, and it far e.xceeds all others of wliich we 
have any knowledge. 
DAVID C, BATES, Canandaigua, 
SAMUEL H. ANDREWS, do. 
RUFUS HUMPHREY, Victor, 
DAVID CLARK, Seneca. 
This may certify, that I have used Seymour’s 
Sowing Machine, in sowing oats, barley, peas, 
clover and herds grass seed, and it operates to my 
utmost satisfaction. I sowed 30 bushels of oats, 8 
bushels of peas, and 20 bushels of barley in one 
day, and I tiiiuk 30 acres a reasonable day’s work. 
J. H. GLASS, Avon, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour — Dear Gir- The Sowing Macliine 
I purchased of you in Soptombor last, tolly answers 
the recommendations, and I think it among the best 
farming implements of which ourcountry can boost 
J. HOLLOWAY, York, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seyrnour — It gives mo pleasure to state tliat 
I have used your Sowing Machine with much suc¬ 
cess. JABEZ GODDARD, York, Liv. Co. 
I have used for two seasons past, P. Seymour’s 
Sowing Machine for sowing grain and plaster. For 
sowing grain it is cxcclloat on account of sowing so 
much more evenly tlian can bo sowed by hand. In 
[ sowing plaster, it is invaluable on account of its sav- 
very disagreeable 
dust that arises from it.

YOUNG NORMAN, 
NOW owned by Alanson Clark, will 
stand this season in the vicinity of Rush- 
ville. He was sired by Old Nornian, of 
whom a cut may be seen in the Cultivator of 1846, 
(May number,) and notices in volumes of same jour¬ 
nal for 1847-8. 
YOUNG NORMAN stands 16.} hands high, is of 
a dappled chestnut color, and combines great trot- 
ting powers with long endurance, good courage and 
excellent bottom—a desideratum which renders him 
by far the most profitable horse to breed from of any 
in this part of the State.

nomical and perfect, in all other respects, to any 
other stove now in use. 
My arrangements are such that I hope to have a 
constant supply, and my friends and customers can 
at all times be accommodated with them, at rea¬

have acquired a wide and better reputation in 
a shorter period, than any other in the world. I
