To the R ight Honorable General Gunn,Sena
tor from Georgia, SAc. the following
SUBLIME ODE
Is fubmiflivelv inferibed, by his Honor’s mofl
devoted, SIMON SPUNKY.
Immortal Gunn, t ling thy prowess,
No greater hero was, or now is,
No dog run mad or Indian drunk,
Could ever rival t.hee in spunk.
ft is the truth, deny’d by no man,
Thou hall the courage <>f a Roman ;
Thy noddle cl iims a civic crown,
Indicative of great renown :
Not oak, nor laurel, but, good lack,
It Goall be made of hahmutack!
Thy temper’s mild as water-gruel,
Rut kvnor made thee fight a duel,
Rig with the fate of Gunn and Baldwin ;
Hut soon the latter’s horns were haul’d in,
With this excuse for what he’d done, fir,
A Pi/lol’s nothing to a Gunn fir ! !
Great General Gunn, myfelf I flatter,
That this will never end the matter,
In fome fly corner, could you grab him,
Your honor , fir, would bid you flub him !
And thus your mighty vengeance wreaking,
No foul of Jpunk would think it f leaking.
.Honor, in Gothic boforn rclidcnt,
*Tis said depends so much on precedent,
And you’ve authority quite ample—
Dread fir, you have your own example,
For something which has fome relation
To something call’d offa/fmation 111
In my opinion, fir, the fact is,
Your name may fanftion such a praftice,
For, slabbing one man* with impunity,
Will surely give you this immunity,
When you’re offended with a noddy,
To /lily thrufl him through the body !
Great Gunn, I think it quite a scandal,
Since thou art spunky as a Vandal,
No hard to thee attunes his lays,
Not ev’n a ]ews-karp trills thy praise !
Since other poets are such gumps,
M'is time for me to stir my slumps,
And would you give me something clever,
I’d grade you, fir, much more than ever.
Take gentle Simon into pay,
And he will laud thee, night and day,
Tell how the Gen’ral moft redoubted,
In honor’s field was never routed—
How even Attila, the Hun,
Was hut a fool to General Gunn—
*Ti)l Fame, a noisy, lying llruinpet,
Shall yield to Simon her brass trumpet,
Then Gunn’s report /hall echo louder
Than forty pounder fill’d with powder ! ! !
* Mr. Doane.
IVom the Shop of
Mbss. COLON & SPONDEE,
Simon, our journeyman, to cousin Simon
Spunky, Greeting.
Shall verte, to praise great Gunn be call’d in,
And not one line for Abva’m Baldwin !
Baldwin biform who Patriach like,
Knows how to pray, and how to fight:
Who in our broil with mother Britain,
Did fi-rcer deeds than Gordon writ on—
When drums and guns at York were rattlin'',
Asa bold, pious brigade chaplain,
Despising carnal, martial merit,
Proudly drew forth the sword of spirit;
And fiercely hied to secret place,
To spread before the Lord our case.
Brave Abraham, despising railleries.
In preference of the House and Galleries,
Dar’d tell them all, in valiant trim,
That Gouging Gunn had challeng’d him !
Expeft.iflg doubtless in his rage.
The House, like kings in feudal age,
Would order these brave knights to try',
Their might in lifts of chivalry:
Where bight fir Gunn, by trumpet call’d in,
Should fight the knight yclept fir Baldwin !
The lifts their Marshal fend t’array,
And Speaker go to fee fair play.
O cousin Simon, fie for Itiamc !
Forbear your big pop Gunn to name :
Tell not how’ often he’s been charg’d,
How often in the air difeharg’d ;
How often prim’d, how often ramm’d,
And how much oftener flalh’d in pan,
Your bouncing Gunn, for all yourfufs,
Is nothing to my blunderbnfs.
Cease cousin Spunky, ceafc to tell,
How Gunn braves jackfon, hemp and h-11,
Baldwin braves more than h-11 and hemp,
Brave Abram bravely braves contempt.

Cotton Ginning.
r P’ H E Subferiber is empowered by
X Mr. ETE, of the Bahama Islands,
to receive a iubicription for his Cot
'i on Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the itates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wifli to become
iubfrribers, are requelled to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that the fubfeription may be
closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv
er the Machine, independent of the pow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve's part, he con
tracts that this Machine will gin 30olbs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or of horses. This machine in a
lew days, and with a trifling expence,
can be attached to any machine in use
for other purposes, such as rice machines,
saw cr grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a perfen competent to set them in
motion, and fully to explain their fev
cral powers. From fome small expe
riments that have been made upon the
green feed, cotton it appears that from
:50 to 2Coibs> can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjeft I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the uoderiigned certi
ficate from a refpeftable Cotton Plan
ter ol this state, who has been an eve
witncls ol the execution done by this
machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, signed by the moll ref
peftable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may wish to become a fubferiber.
Ths machine has met with Universal ap
probation in every part of the Welt-
Indies to which it has been lent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA, Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a vifitfor
my health to New Providence, one
oi the Bahama I Hands, I was induced to
make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonly cultivatedm the back
country of the southern itates, and sent
to Savannah for a fmail quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
swer. The rainy’ season setting in a
bout the time I 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 leparatcs the feed
from the cotton bv rollers without do
ing any injury to the staple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in pofl’effion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my flay in Naf
iau I frequently visited 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 almolt any
ot those used for various purposes in this
country ; the conltruftion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
praftice of using them.
