Cotton Ginning.
T" 1 H E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E EE, of the Bahama Hlands,
to receive a subscription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. G en
tleman of the Hates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wifti to become
fubferibers, are requeued to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that the subscription may.be
closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv
er the Machine, independent of the pow
er that impels it, in Savannah, lor lifty
guineas. On Mr, Eve’s part, he con
trails that this Machine will gm qoolhs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa- ‘
ter, or of horses. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence,
can be attached to any machine in use
for other pnrpofes, fuck as rice machines,
saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a person competent to set them in
motion, and fully to explain their sev
eral powers. From fome small expe
riments that have been made upon the
green feed cotton it appears that from
150 to 20olbs. can he ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this uibjeit I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the underlined certi
ficate from a refpcdfable Cotton Flan
ter of this Hate, who has been an eyc
witnefs ox the execution done by this
machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, signed by the molt ref
pe&able Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may with to become a fubferiber.
Ths machine has met with universal ap
probation in every part of the Weit
indies to which it has been font.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORG I J, Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a visit for
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama Islands, I was induced to
make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonly cultivated in the back
country of the/outhern Rates, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment 1 found to an
swer. The rainy leafon setting in a
bout the time 1 received the cotton the
whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve as
sured me his machine was competent,
from the calculation he had made, to
clean out in good weather two hundred
weight of clean cotton in the course of a
day. The machine separates the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the flaple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in possession
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced ot the truth of
this opinion. During my flay in Nas
sau I frequently viflted Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelled by wind, and
never saw more than two people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. This machine
is capable of being attached to almost any
of those used for various purposes in this
country ; the conftruftion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
ptadtiee ot using them.

Chcrlefton, March 29th* (tuef.^w.
jfov tfjc Columbian flpufcunu
Meflrs. Powers & Seymour,
Gentleman,
~\f OUR correspondent Gracchus (to
i use his own words) hasdefeended
from his ufu&l good mode of reai'oning *
and in his answer to Civis, in your pa
per of 19th inlL has attacked the charac
ters of individuals, who hid nothing to
do with his paper war with Civis*
This I think ihews a want of funds in
Gracchus* to leave realon, and turn his
mind to downright abuse— What had
the man he calls Lentulns , to do in the:
difputc between Gracchus and Ciris *
they were only of the fame religion, and
doth it follow that a man must be pub
licly abused, bccaufo lie is of the fame
Church that Civis is ; he speaks oiLen
tulus as being big with ingratitude and
rreafon—let Gracchus relied one mo
ment, and he can never charge any man
with ingratitude.—Again let him re
member, that feme few years ago, ha
landed in Georgia, a poor little redi
headed boy—that lie met with a friend
who took him into his office, without
any earthly motive, but that of humani
ty, and has made him what he is—and
how has Gracchus rewarded this good
man for hisfriendlliip ? Has not Grac
chus been the venal inllrument of de
priving him of his feat in the Senate of
the United States, which feat he filled
with dignity to himfelf and honor to
he date, direiftly contrary to his folcmn.
promise, and the wish of the people gen
erally ? And has Gracchus not gone {fill
further with his ingratitude ? Has he not
sent on his dear Babe to take his feat ,
so near the end of the present sessions,
merely to wound the feelings of the maxi
who has been thus his friend ? Apd did
he not even refufe to put this old and
faithful public servant, into as good ai
situation as he was when he was lent toi
congress ? Kas he not been the inftru-.
meat of filling that important office by
the appointment of a man no ways qual
lified, and in whom, it is impoflible?
the people can have confidence, and this
too, it is said, through unconstitutional
and illegal means ?
Jn my humble opinion G racchus, thi*
is ingratitude of a much deeper die than,
you tan possibly charge Lentulus with.
Your next man is poor old Cethegus*
whom you charge (among other things)
with having a particular third after
money. This Cethegus never denied j
and can you, Gracchus ? Did you not
when in the practice of the law, extort
large fees from your clients, everi th©
widow and tire orphan, and negleft to
attend the courts when the causes were
tried ? And have you refunded the
money ? Can you charge Cethegus with,
any thing more than this ? I think your
charging him with that crime, is like
the Devil corre&ing fin—to be fond of
money is no crime, but the mode of
getting it often is. You next boast of
having been the savior of many traitors*
and that you didfo knowingly—iffo*
are you not as bad as they are i Is it noc
as great acrirne to conceal stolen goods*
knowing them to be stolen, as to ftea£
them in the firft instance ? You are wrong
to acknowledge that circumstance, foe
there are men living who are so foolifh.
as to suppose, you never did wrong.
You next turn your vengeance on Man
lius, against whom you exhibit numer
rouscharges. It is true, he was con
cerned in buying the Yazoo land, and
may possibly have been a grand mover
of the worlt aCls said to have been com
mitted in carrying the bill through*
and perhaps as much difpifed by many
of the company, in which he is a gran
tee, as yourfelf—yet what has all thja
to do in your difputc with Civis ? You
hat e done wrong Gracchus, and I there
fore think you cefervc the remarks and
lash, even of your own party. lam
one of them, and for the fame ircafon that
many others are, not from any perfouai
regard for you, but dijappointment.
One mere question, and I have done
with you lor the present. Do you sup
pose tnatyour rcfuling Lentulus the fa-
demanded, and adding infulc
to injury, can be juftifled in the public
mind. Where will the u majfy of the
people ’ suppose you have deposited you?
