The attention of all parties interested in the
pressing or compressing of Hat, Cotton, Hemp,
Wool,Rags, Hops, or any other artide required to
be baled for Transportation, Storage or Consump
tion, is respectfully solicited, to the PORTABLE
or STATIONARY PRESSES, manufactured by

The Press is very simple in its construction, re
quiring but ordinary intelligence to work it, md
cun be operated by any known power, s jeh as
Steam, Water, Horse or Hand. In using Horse
power but one horse is required, the Press being
so mechanically constructed on a well-known
principle that the power increases in a greater
ratio than the increasing resistance.
The advantages of this Press ever all others
are as follows, via;
Ist. It can press 20 per cent, more material in
a giver space.
2d. It can do the work in 33 per centlese time.
3d It requires 60 per cent less driving power.
4th- It turns out the best shaped bale for hand
ling br rolling.
sth. The Fress will last a life-time, Ihe work
ing parts being built of the best of iron, and not
liable to get out of order.
The ordinary work of this machine will press
in cne operation (after once filling the box of the
No. 1 Press) a bale of Hay of 466 lbs. weight in
82r*Two Minutes.
Four men and one horse can bale 12 tons of
Hay a day.
Four men without the aid of a horse, or any
power except that contained in the ~rese, con

es long, weighing 460 lbs ,or 231-2 lbs. to the cu
bic foot.
No toggle joints, screws, cog-wheels beaters
or rollers used in this Press.
The attention of Cotton factors and planters,

this Press, destined as Uis to work a complete
revolution in the now slow, clumsy and expen
sive method of baliDg.

Thp Major General Commanding hoin e eom
p,ll«t by woimd, to relinquish, for
the command of the Department, takes this 00l
portunity to express to the officer and men 61
theXfcast Division, under Brigadier General John
P. Hatch, his approbation oi their good conduct
during the operations on the line of the Charles
ton and Savannah Railroad, since November
IHBw :
At the battle of Honey Hill on November goth,
although unsuccessful in the attempt to drive the
ecemv from his forts, the Division still maintain
ed the fight with unwavering steadiness durinir
the day, and retired from the field after night&B
m good order and unpursued. Their losses attest
alike their courage and discipline.
At Dveeaux’ Neck, near the Coosawhatchie
tunipike, on December 6th, the advance, in num
ber much iuferioi to the opposing force, met the
rebels in an open field, and drove them from the
ground, captured one flag, forced them to seek
safety in flight, leaving their dead and wounded
in our hands, and thus occupied a position from
which the Railroad was under the easy fire of
our gtuia. * *
On December 3th the skirmish line forced its
way to within a few yards of the Railroad and
the forts which guarded it, ’ remaining there
under a most galling fire until an opening had
been cut through the woods between our bat
teries and tho road, and thus perfected the work
so gallantly begun upon the 6th.
The Division has obeyed all orders promptly
and cheerfully, and since its co-operative move
raenttwitb General fchermau’s Armv, has vig
ilantly watched the enemy at .its'front, has .
promptly seized each fortified position upon .the
first indication of a proposed withdrawal on the
part.of the rebels, and has thus inspired the
! Commanding General with the belief that it will
continue to do faithfully and well the work allot
ted to it in the great campaign which is being
prosecuted in South Carolina. ” . ’
To Brigadier Generals Hatch aud Potter, who
have commanded this force, and to all the gallant
offioers and men under them, the Major General
Commanding tenders his thanks for the past,
and his earnest wishes for their continued suc
cess,
