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.

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? boasted maxim of Liberty end Ejual.tj, No. 17.
