„ The Moderator.”—-The first number of a news,
paper proposed to be continued daily and tri-weekly,

made its appearance. From the number that has
been sent us, wo leant that another will be issued,
and its permanent publication commence, “ as soon
as a sufficient number of subscriben are obtained."—
The editor saya be " professes to bo a republican, in

will occupy about the same space. (For its
description, see Mr. J’s. late publication.)
Now for Messrs. Follet’s & Smith’s. Ac
cording to their own account, their’s has been
invented upwards of foui* years. Are they
in general use? Who has one in operation
in the great cotton State of Georgia ? With
the exception of their own Factory, into which
they deny admission and keep it as secret as
a lodge, there is not another, even if that is,
in succcssQil. operation in the whole South;
and there does not exceed more than some
half dozen who have attempted to establish
the sense in which the term wasuaed in the days of them. Why is this? A gentleman writes
Jeffersonbut though for Mr. Calhoun and hia par.
ty, he has friendly feelings, “ mingled, however with
rogrot at Ilia ultra, and in some respects erroneous
course they have seen fit to pursue,” yet he is not a
partisan of that gentleman. IIo also professes to
have “ no sympathy” with Mr. Van Burcn and his
immediate adherents. Ho opposes both of the above
named gentlemen as candidates for the Presidency,
but warmly advocates the pretensions of the Hon.
Jons McLean, of Ohio, to that office; still lie says
that upon this point ho will yield to the will of the
republican party, fairly expressed. He is opposed to

by those who have tried it. It is said to have
this advantage over linseed cake, that it har-
dens the flesh of fattening hogs, or other stock
like corn, whilst the linseed «ake makes the
meat oily like mast feed r pork. Mr. Gid
eon Palmer, an oil merchant and manufac.
turer, states that the cake “ I consider about

the stock and labor. The cost of an oil mill,
must be greater or less, according to situa

TOR TIIE SOUTHERN BANNER.
Athens, Oct. 18tb, 1833.
Messrs. Editors—A short time since I
promised the public, in answer to a publica
tion of Follct Smith, that I would make
good every statement advanced by me, in a
communication, which appeared in your pa-
per on the 30th of July last. I collect from
their publication that 1 was wrong in tour par
ticulars.- 1st. That Mr. Johnston’s invention
is not as good os theirs. 2d. That the oil of
cotton-secd is not worth one dollar a gallon.
3d. That the cake is not worth one dollar a
hundred, and 4th. That the oil and cake are
not worth “half” as much as the cotton.
These being the only facts denied, I take it
lor granted that all my other statements are
true, as far as their knowledge extends.
Before I proceed to establish these facts, I
will n-iiicc and dispose of a remark of theirs,
made in no very liberal spirit, viz: “ Mr.
Clayton’s attempt to place to the credit of Mr.
Johnston, what justly belongs to us, and to
his own credit what as justly belongs to our
late worthy and highly respected and lament
ed friend, Gen. D. R. Williams of South
Carolina, does not a little surprise us. We
hope lie will have the liberality, after perus
ing the annexed extract of a letter from that
gentleman to us under date of the 13th of
May, 1830, to transfer the credit he has mis
placed to their proper account.” To be con
sidered an imitator or David R. Williams, is
high praise, and l shall never feel mortified
at being so reproached. If I can awaken,
increase or continue public attention upon
any subject, recommended by that great and
useful man, I will very cheerfully submit to
the censure, if it be one, of being called his
copier. Messrs. Follct & Smith arc not
aware, however, that their doctrine would put
a stop to the progress of the Christian', reli
gion. It docs not follow, by any means, that
because Chalmers and Massillon have exceed
ed all others in the eloquence best calculated
to enforce its divine truths, that inferior intel
lects must cease to exert their powers to the
same holy end?
But these individuals are uncandid. I did
refer by name to Gen. Williams. I first said
“ the facts submitted are supported by cither
actual experiment or testimony of the most
unquestionable character,” and then in the
very next paragraph stated,. “ it is a decided
ly better painting oil; and so pronounced by
all who have tried it, particularly that distin
guished practiced citizen, Gen. David R. Wih
i:amsofS.- Carolina.” Does this look like
robbing him of any credit due to his enter
prising character? I had never seen any
thing from the pen of Gert. Williams, on this
subject, except one single letter, which is now
in my possession though I knew from gene-
ral reputation that he had thought and written
much, which I have since seen, on that topic.
But it is very amusing in Messrs. Follelt &
Smith, to found their charge against me, ol
taking credit from Gen. Williams, on the con-
to me, «*the price is too high.” Gen. Will
iams, (the best of testimony, I presume, be
ing the “ respected friend” of these gentle-
men,) states, that “ the cost of their Haller,
is $150, patent right $200, for a machine of
three horse power that will hull from 15 to
20 bushels per hour.” Another gentleman,
who has lately put up one of Follet’s &
Smith’s, enquires of Mr. Johnston in relation
to his, « how he cleans it from the oil or from
choaking 1” and says, “ even stone, which is
longer being made smooth, by the oil in the
seed, than iron, has to be dressed once in 36
hours and in another letter he says, “ I do
not like Follet & Smith’s.” Another states,
“ I have one of their machines in operation
and think there is room for improvement.”—
According to their own statement they say,
“ our price for a one horse power machine,
is one hundred and fifty dollars, exclusive of
the patent right, for using it, which will hull
from six to seven bushels per hour. A large
machine weighs about 1800wt. and is in
size, when set up, about 10 feet high, 7 feet
long and 5 feet wide : smaller ones are near
ly the same height and length, but not quite
so wide.” Upon these facts and the future
use of Mr. Johnston’s machine, I rest this
poiiit.
The next point is, that the oil is not worth
one dollar per gallon. I refer again to Gen.
Williams. He says, « no preparation what
ever, except to allow it a few days to settle
after it is prepared, is necessary to fit it for
the feeding of stock."
Now let us see what is the value of lin
seed cake; this same gentleman in a letter
as late as the 24th of last April, observes thaj
“ the oil cake is about equal to flaxseed cake,
which sells for one dollar per hundred lbs."
I consider the case made out as to this
point. The 4th aud last objection is that the
oil aud oil cake are not worth half as much
as the cotton. It will be recollected that this
statement was made upon the authority of a
calculation, where all the elements were ex
hibited, and every one could examine for him
self, so that none could possibly be deceived.
But 1 have the good fortune to be in the pos
session of a calcul ition which Messrs. Follet
& Smith themselves submitted to the public, ia
the “ Petersburgh Commercial Advertiser,”
of the 23d of Feb. 1830, when they were in
ducing the public to use their machines. It
is founded upon the certificate of Mr. Gideon
Palmer, and then sent by him to Follet and
Smith, which they published. at the time and
place aforesaid. Mr. Palmer states «the facts
which I am about to offer to you, will shew you
that the seed and the wool have materially
changed their relation, so much so, that the
seed has become nearly within ONE THIRD
as valuable as the wool. To suppport this
position I subjoin the annexed certificate/
story. The pierhead and foundation can best
be estimated by the workman., Three bush
els of cleaned ginned seed, will make two
gallons of oil. A great deal depends, how.
ever, on th'e'ginning and measuring, (about
33 lbs. of seed make a bushel.) One r.nd a
half gallons of oil to three bushels of rough
seed may be calculated on with perfect safety.”
With regard to the method of expressing
either cotton or linseed oil, Levi Burnell, Esq.
an intelligent gentleman of Ohio, informs me
that the “ seed is first caused to descend,
passing between two rapidly rolling horizontal
iron cylinders, by which every seed is
crushed, from thence it is passed under a
stone of the size and weight of a small mill
stone, roiling on an axle tiround an upright
shaft, similar to the stones used for grinding
bark, at the distance of about three feet from
the shaft, upon a bed stono, here the opera,

Simeon Smith of New London, I weighed out
064 lbs. of cotton seed kernel received from
Messrs. Follet and Smith, and manufactured
it into oil by the same process I manufactured
linseed oil, and now give the result. The
first time working, the kernel produced 35
gallons of .oil—weight 262 1-2 lbs., the oil
cake remaining weighed 700 lbs. I then
ground the oil cake and pressed it a second
time and it produced 4 3-4 gallons more, the
painting. It dries as well us flax-seed oil, j, whole quantity being 30 3-4 galls, from 984
. j
with precisely the same means, possibly it
may not dry as white for inside work,, but for
the outside and the slightest colouring, it is
fully as good as linseed oil, if not better’, hav-
■ing as the painters say, more “ body.” The
process is cheap and expeditious to refine it
into excellent lamp oil, and for machinery.”
Will any one pretend to say that an oil an
swering a better purpose than one which
commonly sells in our market at $1,50, and
moreover serving two other valuable objects
which that oil does not, is not worth one dol
lar per gallon ? The right way to test this
matter, is to offer both oils, under this state of
the facts, to a purchaser, und if he prefers the
linseed oil at $1,50,1 will then confess I stand
convicted of imposing a fulse statement upon,
the public.
Mr. E. Williams of Connecticut, the own
er of a woollen factory,states in a letter dated
12th of April last, that Jabez' Smith (of the
firm of Follct & Smith) sent a small quantity
of the oil to his brother for the purpose of
having the manufacturers of wool ascertain
whether the article could be used to advan
tage, and I was solicited to make the experi
ment. I have used it-in bunting in lamps,
and am confident that it will burn one third
longer, give as good light, with less smoke.
I then made the experiment on woo), and was
so far satisfied, that I gave an order for a
quantity of the oil at 90 cents per gallon, but
could i.ot obtain but one cask of 80 gallons,
consequently, I did not adopt it us an oil for
wool, but continued to burn it in lamps; hut
am perfectly satisfied that could the article be
obtained, Manufacturers would use it in pref
erence to the speriq oil at the same price.”—
Here, then, is not only evidence of its use for
an additional purpose, to wit: for the manu.
factur : of woollens,rendering it still more val-.
uable; but a manufacturer as late as the 12th
of last April, could uot obtain the article from
Follet & Smith themselves, to the extent of
his demaud, even at the price of 90 cents;
though they say they will make a contract
with me at 66 2-3 cents per gallon ? I know
full well what they mean when thoy make
this offer. It is the oil in its unclarified state;
When I said it was worth a dollar per gallon,
I spoke in reference to its condition for all the
uses, for which I stated it was valuable. All
oils are refined before used, unless for very
common purposes, and Gen. Williams says
there is a very “ cheap find expeditious” pro
cess for refining cotton seed oil. But to
place this matter out of all doubt, if Mr. Fol-
Then follows this calcula-

tents of a private letter to them, under date of let and Smith themselves can be believed, I
the 13th of May, 1830, which has never seen
the light until they published aa extract from
it on the 5tb of Soptcmber last. If they had
me the favor to grant me the “ perusal”
of their “ extract” before, instead of since, my
publication, their accusation would have come
rith more grate if not more force. Be. that
“* it may, if the object I had in view can be
ccomplished, which was merely to shew the
c-ople of the South that while the Northern
eople travel even to the Pacific Ocean in
isrsuit of whales for their oil, we have a
rhale lying high and dry at every gin house
loor in nine States, I will most willingly yield
the whole credit to the distinguished citizen-
of whom we have been speaking.
Now to the proofs of my contradicted state-
oents. And 1st* that Mr. Johnston’s inven-
ion is not as good as theirs. As this is a
latter to be tested by, experience, I can for
present only submit facts from which the
public can draw their own conclusions. I
ite positively, upon my own knowledge,
will prove the fact by them. A gentleman
by the name'of Markham, of unquestionable
veracity, who came to the south, under a con
ditional arrangement with Follet and Smith,
to erect oil mills in Georgia, stated bofore sev
eral Gentlemen in tbp town of Madison, the
certificate of some of whom I now hold, «that
Follet aad Smith exhibited to him a letter
from some extensive oil dealer in Philadelphia
or New York, stating that a million of gallons
of cotton seed oil could be sold in that mar
ket for one dollar a gallon.” I think this
will be sufficient for the second head.
The 3d point is, that the cake is not worth
one dollar per huudred. It is admitted by
them to be worth 75 cents, and this in an‘ar
ticle of food, that like all others is subject to
great fluctuations according to the supplies
and demand for consumption, is almost enough
for my statement, but I will leave nothing to
inference. Major Simeon Smith, of New
London, (Cain.) writes to Follet .and Smith
(the latter his brother) to this effect, which
lbs. of kernels,
tion:
“Value of oil, at present hypothet.
ical, but estimated by Major Smith at
50 cents, $19 87
Value of cake, at present- not so
great as linseed Cake, the one being
kuown and worth 1 dol. per cwt.
while the other, though equally good,
is worth only 75 cents per cwt. 700
wt. is, 5. 25
Total value of oil and cake, $25 12
We ascertain the value of the cot
ton which grew on f:.is 964 lbs. of
hulled seed by the following process :
Cotton seed loses one third iu hulling.
If to 964 we add 1.3, we find-that it
would require 1446 lbs. of rough cot.
ton seed to make 964 wt. of hulled
seed. This sum, 1446, is the *8-4 of
1929 an amouqt of seed cotton neces
sary to produce 482, lbs. (or 1-4) of
wool. . On the 964 lbs. of hulled seed,
there grew, therefore, 482 lbs. of
wool, which at 8 cents per lb. is,
If from this we deduct the value of
oil aud cake,
A sum somewhat less than two thirds
of the value of the wool, leaves $13 44
This is a calculation submitted by Follet
& Smith themselves to-the public, and author
ises me to enquire of that public by what right
these men dare arraign my statement, that
only places it at one half ? Thus then, I
think I have redeemed my pledge, and here
I take leave of Messrs. Follet & Smith for
ever.
Having in a number of -private letters to
enquiring individuals promised them all the
information I possessed on this interesting
subject I beg leave through this public chan
nel to subjoin a few more quotations as to the
value and process of making oil. Mr. Charles
E. Ruggles, oil refiner, New York, remarks:
“ With respect to the quality of the cotton
seed oil, you may rely upon its being made
into as good paint oil, as the best of English
boiled linseed oil, and it is my opinion it will
huve more of a bod/ than even linseed, when
well prepared, and will of course be more du
rable iu paint. There is another use your
oil will be good for, when freed from its gross
er parts, that is, for Printers' Ink, for which
suu-ilowcr seed aud nut oil is now used. J
need not repeat to you what I have formerly
written concerning the general utility of the
oil, as it must soon come into use being made
cheaper than linseed oil, which every year is
getting higher and higher. Tins alone will
cause painters to use it, consequently there
will be more painting done particularly in the
Southern States, where it will be made in
abundance. Hie inhabitants need not think
of cultivating the olive, for it must answer all
the purposes of' that fruit oil, (the .table ex
cepted.”) But I have, indirectly, the author!
wedge press, touch the simplest and cheapest
and which any good workman can make, if
furnished with a model. A model can be ob
tained in Philadelphia.
With regard to Mr. Johnston’s Huller,
concerning which great enquiry has been
made of me, I refer the public to bis late in-
teresting publication uot only on that subject,
but os to a great deal of useful information
connected with it, trusting > and believing the
newspaper?, especially; in the South, friendly
to this important interest, will give it a wide
circulation. The generous donation which
he has made to the public of tbis highly use
ful invention, so eminently calculated to pro
mote Southern prosperity, justifies the expect-
ations that the press will lend its aid to this
invaluable work. I know from the beginning
of tbis matter, the motives of Mr. Johnston
have been pure and patriotic. He never,
contemplated any selfish purpose- in this in
vention, for he has been some time engaged
iu the construction of his machine, which
was submitted to others, not being himself a
practical mechanic, and never for a moment
concealed his operation^, but took great pleas-
urc in showing und explaining it to every body.
He was finally induced, as expressed to me ;
in frequent conversations, to obtain letters
patent for the purpose of preventing a monop
oly hereafter by such persons as would call
any alteration in his principle a new invention,
and thereby get a patent which would not only
deceive the public but deprive them of the
benefit of his intended gratuitous labors.
Iu conclusion, I must in justice to Mr.
Johnston, say, that my communication, in Ju
ly last, was made without his privity, knowl
edge or consent, and that I had no other mo
tive in it than to arouse, or revive, if Messrs.

Property Lottery
A S the public has sustained this Lottery up to the
present tiino, and from recent events which
have taken place siuco the last notice, the Proprietor
deems it proper to give a succinct history of it from
the beginning to tho present time f leaving out as
much ms possible what has been already published.
Tho proprietor sometime before he offered this
Lottery to the public, had mortgaged nearly-all the
property to two persons whom he owed—one con.
tained the negroes, tho other tho lands, Ac—And
as he believed for less than half of its value: how
ever, with a view to take them up before, or at the
time they became due, and proceeded on with his
mercantile business; but he was from misfortune un-
ablo to take up the mortgages, and having made ma.
ny other creditors, and perceiving that landed proper,
ty had fallen nearly half its value, and finally finding
for what it would bring that even all his property
would.hot satisfy his creditors, unless he gets its val.
ue;. and having been thus fixed, and being anxious
to do justice to his other creditors, as well os the
mortgagees, offered liis proporly in said lottery.
’He applied to his creditors for their approbation
.—and amongst them one whose claim is quito in
considerable, refused—and issued his fi. fa. (after
which others issued and levied on the property, and
it was all sold from the 1st Tuesday in last August
and up to tho 1st Tuesday in September, and bought
in by two mortgages at comparatively small prices—
but more than the amount of tho fi. fa.; and the
property left with $he Proprietor, to carry on the
Lottery. Said creditor’s claim being younger than'
others, the money was paid to the eldest claim—and
he still not paid. On visiting Savannah, tbc Proprie
tor was taken by this same creditor by ca.’ sa. and pla
ced in confinement on the twenty-third of last March.
And in the mean time the mortgagee’s attorney took
possession of the negroes offered in .the scheme of
said lottery aud sold them. It is proper to state that
from the sales of tickets, there is a larger amount of
money on hand than the amount of the nine negroes
in the scheme,in said Lottery. On taking now near
ly two months to consult (both personally and by let-
ten) a number of gentlemen, the best course to be
taken, the proprietor from their ado'ice, as well as his
own convictions, ha* come to the conclusion, to con-

of the loss of their esteemed fellow.inember, Wit-
mil Assuav Starlet, feel it their duty to pay that
respect to'his memory, which is elicited by all the ties
which tend to bind friends and brethren together.
, Death has dissevered the cords that bound him
to us with the feelings of a friend and a brother, and
has forever torn him from our love and our affections.
But let us cherish his recollection, let us rem> m er
his early and endearing virtues, and mourn with his
afflicted relations his untimely death. Let his kindred
be comforted, and his friends cheered with the reflec
tion, that although ho might have lived a stdaco to
bis'parents, a blessing to his friends, and an oraa.
ment to his country, yet, be is lifted by a being whoso
decrees are fixed and unalterable, from a temporary
to an eternal home. That he has given in exchange
a frmcitnrv nrwl flnfttinir wnrlrl. fni» nn aKaiIa fh.it
aid of his country; He will present a petition to tho
next Legislature as soon as it sits, with a number of
respectablo signers, praying leave to draw said Lot
tery ; and to pay cash to prize holders instead of ne
groes, tU the amount set forth in the scheme of said
negroes. Then justice will be done to purchasers of
tickets, and to his numerous creditors; and he will
feel grateful to his country which will verify the old
adage, “ a friend in need is a friend indeed
Ho does not make this appeal to the public with a
hope of obtaining the famo of Timolcon of old by
means of chance and fortune—no; he only asks,
what can be done by his State—for its aid so as to
act legally—and only to maintain his steadiness of
purpose and firmness of mind, by which although
poor, he will be able to pass the remainder of bis
days, neither to be grieved with past prosperity, nor
to be broken down by preseat or future adversity,
but to be gratified for having the satisfaction of doing
justice, and for the following very good reasons:
will balance his affairs, restore his credt, satisfy his
creditors, and to injure neither individual nor coun
try in this peculiar case.
It is therefore requested that tho purchasers of
Tickets remain satisfied until it is known whether the
Legislature will have rejected or granted his Petition.
If rejected, all the monoy will be immediately return-
ed by the Agents, but if on the other hand the peti-
tion is allowed, he will have time to sell tho unsold
tickets, and draw said Lottery by the first of next
January, the time specified in the last notice dated
the 25th of March. . X. B. BATEMAN

THE SPY

SPIRIT OF THE AOE.
T HE unprecedented soccess of the SPY—there
having been nearly seventeen hundred subscri
bers received since its CQmmenceire.it, in July last
—is the best evidence of tho estimation it has secu
red in the public mind. While the presont proprie

use, (the table.) Gen. Williams states that
“ Majdr Smith is of the opinion that it will
make a fine sallad oil, when obtained from
fresh, kernels, not heated by packing. In
this opinion I concur. Its taste is bland It
resists oxygination and contracts rancidity
slowly. It can be reduced to the limpidity of
olive oil.” Mr. Palmer writes as late as the
24th of April last, « that oil merchants here, .-
