116 iHitfrs* Front the Gazette of the United States. 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. 10 Dollars Reward.

Savannah, 24th May, 1796. 24-bw. 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.
