The NobTelloyT
by mb*. b. r. Bitar.
It was a bloody and critical period of the war
in the Peninsula, that Morillo, then command
ing the fifth Spanish aimy, about four thousand
strong, in conjunction with Penne Villemur,
passed down the Portuguese frontiers to the
Lower Guadiana, intending to fall on Seville as
■soon as Suiilt should advance to »he succor ol
Badajos. Io the beginning ot April, while the
French were disheartened by the sudden news ot
the laK ot that city, Penne Villetnur and Mo
rillo, issuing outot Portugal, crossed the Lower
Guadiana, and seized San Lucar de Mayor.
This place was ten miles from Seville, which
was only garrisoned by a Spanish Swiss bat
ta Ilion in Joseph’s service; aided by “Escope
terus,” and by sick and convalescent pien. The
Spaniards soon occupied the heights in front ot
the Triana bridge, and attacked the French en
trenchment’, hoping to raise a popular commo
tion. Ballasteos, on the other side had ad
vanced with eleven thousand men, intending to
fall on Seville from the left of the Guactalquiver.
But the hopes entertained by the Spaniards, of
being speedily in possession of Seville, were cut
off by a piece of deceit. False information,
adroitly given by a Spaniard in the French in
terest, led Ballasteros to believe that Soult was
close at hand, whereupon he immediately re
turned to the Ronda; whila Penne Villemur,
also warned that the French would soon return,
retired to Gibraleon.
This disappointment and failure in the execu
tion ot a favorable project, cherished for many
ronrbs, irritated beyond control*rhe naturally
severe temper of Murillo. It was evening; and
the division ot the army under him were en
camped some hours' march on their retreat.
Ptepatatioats .night have been seen for a mili
tary execnlMM; and a couple of prisoners, cap
ctMwii ia heir last skirmish, were according to
tare cruel practice of many chiefs io those times
be pat to death. The captives were guarded
by a Sle of soldiers, and the executioners, wail
ing the word ot command to draw up, were lean
ing on their weapons, and talking over the events
of the last two days.
Just then, one ot the inferior officers, returning
to his lent after giving some order to the men,
was interrupted by a boy apparently ten years of
age, who, seizing his hand, and speaking in an
accent slightly foreign, besought him with pite
ous entreaties to procure him admittance to the
general. The officer found on inquiry, that he
was the son of one of the prisoners, a soldier
distinguished tor his eminent personal bravery,
who had not been taken even when overwhelmed
by numbers, without giving and receiving many
severe wounds.
This soldier, weary and wounded, but invin
cible in courage and spirit, lor he scorned to ask
the clemency ol his conqueror, was now to suiter
death with his companion in misfortune. The
terrible order had been given, for Morillo would
not be impeded in his march by prisoners; and
he so hated bis country’s enemies, that the bra
vest and most generous among them could have
found no mercy at his hands. The prisoner’s
little boy refusing to be separated from his lather,
had been suffered by the Spaniards to follow him.
‘•Yon ’tail see the general, boy, since you
wish it,” - nd the officer, in reply to the child’s
passionate entreaties; "but he will not grant
your <at:.er’s life. San Lucas! but these French
dogs have given us too much trouble already I”
They entered the General's tent. Morillo, by
the light of a lamp burning on the table, was
reading a despatch he had just received. Two
of his officers stood near him; there was no one
else in the tent. The brow of the chief was
contracted; an I his eyes flashed as if what he
read displeased him; and he looked up with an
impatient exclamation as the officer enteied
with the boy. The child, as soon as Morillo
was pointed out to him, rushed forward and
knelt at his feet.
"What does this mean?” demanded the
General.
“Spare him! spare my father?" sobbed the
youthfitl supplicant.
The officer explained his relationship to one
of the prisoners about to be executed
“Ah! that reminds me,” said the chief, look
ing at his watch: “Pedro, nine is the hour.
Let them be punctual, and have the business
soon over”
Again, with moving entreaties, the child be
sought his father’s life.
“ Did thv father send thee hither ?” asked the
general, sternly.
“ No, senor, he did not.”
“ And how darest thou then—?”
“My f ther has dope nothing to deserve
death,” answered the lad. “Heis a prisoner ot
war.”
“ Ha I who taught thee to question my justice,
answer me I”
“Noone, senor; but brave generals do not
always kilt their prisoners.”
“I kill whom I choose,” thundered Morillo,
“and I hate the French. Boy, thy father shall
# die—-I have said it—begone!”
The officer made a silent sign to the petitioner,
to intimate that there was no hope, and that he
must begone. But the boy’s countenance sud
denly changed. He walked up to the general,
who had turned away, and placed himselt direct
ly before him,. with a look ot calm resolution
worthy of a martyr.
“Hear me, senor,” said he; my father is
gray-headed ;he is wounded; bis strength is
failfrigeven now, though hestands up to receive
the fire of your men. lam young, and strong,
and well. Let them shoot me in his place, and
let my father go free.”
It wasi.npossibletodoubtthe sincerity of this
offer, for the lace of the devoted child was kin
dled with a holy enthusiasm. A dark flush
lushed to the brow ot Morillo, and lor a moment
he locked on the boy in silence.
“ Thou art willing to die,” at length he said,
for thy father? Then, to suffer pain for him
will be nothing. Wilt thou lose one of thv ears
to save him?” J
“ i will,” was the firm reply,
“Lend me thj r sword, Pablo;” and in an in
stant, at one blow, the general struck off the
boy s ear. .The victim wept, but resisted not,
bloud. ~ ■ —— - .(1 tfl foinp uinnw 'l'o.-t--J-.
“So tar good : wilt thou lose the other ear ?”
“I will, to save my father I” answered the
boy, convulsively.
Murillo’s eyes flashed. The heroism of a
child compelled even Au admiration; but un
moved from hrs purpose, he smote offthe other
ear with his still reeking sword.
There was a dead silence. “And now, senor,”
said the boy breathing quickly, and looking up
iuto the general’s face.
“And now,” answered Morill, “depart. The
father of such a child is dangerous to Spain; he
must pay the forfeit of his life!”
The maimed child went forth from the pre
sence of his inhuman foe. Presently the report
of fire-arms announced that he had witnessed
the execution of his father!
Must we blame the cruelty of individuals for
such enormities, or not rather the relentless
spirit ot war that builds up the glory of its
heroes on a scaffolding of death, and sacrifices
daily to the projects of ambition the promptings
ot humanity? r r r
“The Babes in the Wood.”—A touching
incident occurred (says a letter dated at Harris
burg, Pa.) among the mountains in the upper
end of this county last week, while the fire was
raging in that vicinity, A Mrs. Lupoid has
been somewhat deranged occasionally lor some
lime past, but was not considered much out ol
the way until onedav last week, in the absence
of her husband, she left her infant in the cradle,
and, taking with her two other children, one
about five years ol age, the other only three, fled
to the mountains, and nothing could be dis
covered ol them until Saturday last, when she
was found almost famished and nearly naked;
but the children were missing. The neighbor
no >d soon turned out to scour the mountains in
search ot them, but in vain until Monday last,
when some men providentially happened to
come upon them in one of the wildest regions ot
that wild conntry, where no one would have
dreamed of looking for them. They had been
out four days and four nights—cold nights,
too —barefooted and half-naked otherwise, their
clothes being nearly torn oil them by the under
brush, and their little legs blackened by thrashes
of the conflagration through which they had
wandered, and their flesh a good deal lacerated. ,
xhey had cried themselves sick, and oneof them t
had taken off its dress to make a bed of; and
there they lay, at the root of a tree, locked in
each other’s arms, unable to speak, having eaten
nothing, it is supposed, since they left home.
The poorli'tle sutiereis were taken to the nearest
house and comfortably provided for, and are said
to be doing well. They were found ten miles
distant from the place at which their mother was
first discovered, and that they did not perish is
altogether providential and almost miraculous.
Woman’s Fortitude.—l haveoften had oc
casion to remark the fortitude with which
women sustain the most overwhelming reverses
offortune. Those disasters which break down
the spirit of man, and prostrate him in the dust,
seem to call forth all the energies of the softer
sex, and give such intrepidity and elevation to
their character, that at times it approached to
sublimity. Nothing can be more touching than
to behold a soft and tender female, who bad
been all weakness and dependence, and alive >o
every trivial rotisbness, while treading the pros
perous path of lite, suddenly rising in mental
force to be the comtorter and supporter of her
husband under misfortune, and abiding, with
unshrinkinc firmness, the bitterest blasts of ad
versity.— Washington Lving.
Women and Weddings—Sam Slick, who
is a close observer ot everything going on, asks
if it isn’t eurious that weddin’is never out ot
women’s heads? They never think of nothin’
else. A young gal is always thinkin’ ot her
own. As soon as she is married, she is a match
makin’ for her companions; and when she is a
grain older, her darter’s weddin’ is uppermost
again. Oh, it takes a great study to know a
woman. How cunnin’they are. Askavoung
gal the news, she’ll tell you all the deaths in the
place, to make you think she don’t trouble her
self about marriage. Ask an old woman she’ll
tell you all the marriages, to make you think
she is taking an interest in the world, that she
ain’t.
True Politeness.—He who has a heart
glowing with kindness and good will towards
his fellow man, and who is guided in the exer
cise oftliese feelings by goon common sense,
is the truly polite man. Politeness does not
consist in wearing a white silk glove, and in
sracefully lilting your hat as you meet an ac
quaintance; it does not consist in artificial
smiles and flattering speech, but in a silent and
honest desire to promote the happiness of those
around you ; in the readiness to sacrifice your
own ease and comfort, to add to the enjoyment
of others. The poor negro women who found
Mungo Park perishing under the palm trees ot
Africa, and who led him to their hut, and sup
plied him with food, and lulled him to sleep with
their simple songs, were really polite. They
addressed him in language of kindness and
smypalby; they led him tenderly lotheir borne,
and did all in their power to revive his drooping
Spirits.
A poor drover was driving his beeves to
market on a winter’s day. The cattle met a
lady in the path, and apparently unconscious
of the. impoliteness, compelled the lady to turn
one side into the snow. “Madirn,” said the
drover, apologising lor the rudeness ol his herd,
“if the cattle knew as well as 1 do, you should
not walk in the snow.” That driver was, in
the best sense of the word, a gentleman, while
many a young man in Washington street or
Broadway, with glove and cane and graceful
step, is a biute.
The man who lays aside all selfishness, in
regard to the happiness of others, who is ever
teadyto confer favors, who speaks the language
ol kind ess and conciliation, and who studies
to manifest those little attentions which gratify
the heart, is a polite man, though he may wear
a homespun coat, and make a very ungraceful
bow. And many a fashionable, who dresses
genteelly, and enters the most crowded apart
ments with assurance and ease, is a perfect
compound of rudeness and incivility. True
politeness is a virtue ot the understanding and
of the heart. It is not like the whited sepulchre,
or Sodom’s far-famed fruit.
Antidote for Prcssic Actn.—Some recent
experiments by Messrs. T. and H. Smith ot,
Edinburgh, with a view to discover an antidote
for prussic acid, have been brought to a success
ful termination. It was previously well known
that the acid might be neutralized, but a perfect
neutralizing power, innoxious to the stomach
in itself, easily used, and readily to be procured,
has hitherto, as tar as we are aware, been a
thing altogether unknown. The sulphate of
iron, commonly called green vitriol, was lately
said by Sir George Lefevre to be an antidote
to this poison, in the pages of the Lancet.—
It is not so, as the Messrs. Smith showed in
reply. However, the presentation of oxidised
iron to the deadly aci l is in reality the funda
mental feature of their own discovery. Only
it was necessary to find out how to presentit
to the acid in the shape in which the acid will
combine with it, and to do that safely—a dif
ficult matter, as all medical men well know.
The iron, as the late experiments demonstrate,
must be in a state partly of peroxide, and partly
of protoxide, when combined with which, only,
will the acid form the desired compound, a
compound well known as Prussian blue, which
is perfectly harmless in the stomach. It was
the observation that, in that salt, the iron was
peculiarly and doubly oxidised, which, while
showing the uselessness ot common sulphate ol
iron, suggested the formation ofanothercombi
nation of the sulphuric acid with the oxidised
metal, which might lake tip the prussic acid,
and form Prussian blue. The accomplishment
of the combination constitutes ihe antidote.—
The prussic acid is turned in the stomach into
Prussian blue; there an inert, harmless body.

The Ways of Wine Merchants, v
PHOM CHRISTMAS VBSTIVITIRB, BY JOHN POOLE, AUTHOR
OP PAUL PRY.
“There, now, sir, to prove how much gentle
men may be mistaken, I assure you, sir, as I’m
an honest man, 1 never had but two sorts of wine
in tnv cellar—port and sherry.”
“ How! when I myselfhave tried yorrclaret,
your”
“ Yes, sir, my claret, sir. One is obliged to
give gentlemen every thing they ask for, sir.
Gentlemen who pay their money, sir, have a
right to be served with whatever they please to
offer, sit; especially the young gentlemen from
Cambridge, sir. I’ll tell you how it was, sir, I
never would have any wines in my house, sir,
but port and sherry, because 1 knew them to be
wholesome wines, sir; and this I will say, sir,
my port anti sherry were— the—very best— t could
procure in all England.”
“ How! the best ?"
“Yes, sir, al the price I paid for them. But to
explain the thing at once, sir: You must know,
sir, that I hadn't been long in business when 1
discovered that gentlemen know very little about
wine; but that if they didn’t find some fault or
other they would appear to know much less—
airfays excepting young gentlemen from Cam
bridge, sir, and they are excellent judges. [ And
here Burley’s little eyes twinkled in a humorous
commentary on the concluding words of his sen
tence.] Well, sir, with respect to my dinner
wines, I.was always tolerably safe; gentlemen
seldom find fault at dinner; so whether it might
happen to be Madeira, pale sherry, or brown,
or”
"Why just now you told me yon had but two
sorts of wine in your cellar.”
" Very true, sir, port and sherry. But this
was my plan. If any one ordered Madeira:
from one bottle of sherry lake two glasses ol
wine, which replace by two glasses ot brandy,
and add thereto a slight squeeze of lemon; and
this 1 found to give general satisfaction—espe
cially to the young gentlemen of Cambridge,
sir. But upon the word of an honest man, 1
could scarcely geta living profit by my Madeira,
sir, for I always used the best brandy. As to the
pale and brown sherry, sir, a couple of glasses
of nice pure water, in the place of the same
quantity of wine, made what I used to call my
delicate pale- - (by the by, a squeeze of lemon
added to that, made a very lair Bucella, sir—a
wine not much called for now, sir;) and for my
old brown sherry, a leetle burnt sugar was the
thing. It looked very much like sherry that
had been twice to the East Indies, sir; and, in
deed, to my customers, who were very particular
about their wines, I used to serve it as such.”
of a character',' rather”——
“ I guess what you would say, sir; but I knew
it to be a wholesome wine at bottom, sir. But
my port was the wine which gave me the most
trouble. Gentlemen seldom agree about port,
sir. One gentleman would say: 'Burley, I
don’t like this wine; it is too heavy.' ‘ls it sir?
I think I can find you a lighter.’ Owl went a
glass of wine, and in went a glass of water.
‘ Well, sir,’l’d say, 'how do you approve of
that?' ‘Why—uni—no; 1 can’t say 'I
understand, sir; you like an older wine— softer;
1 think I can please you sir.’ Pump again,
‘Now sir,’says 1, (wiping the decanter with a
napkin, and triumphantly holding it to the light,)
‘try this, if you please.’ ‘That’s it, Burley!;
that’s the very wine; bring another bottle of the
same.’ But one can’t please everybody the same
way, sir. Some gentlemen would complain of
my port as being too poor: without body. In
went one glass of brandy. If that didn’t an
swer: ‘ Ay, gentlemen,’says I, ‘lknow what
will please you; you want a fuller-bodied,
rougher wine.’ Out went two glasses of wine,
and in went two or three glasses ot brandy. This
used to be a very favorite wine—but only with
the young gentlemen from Cambridge, sir.”
"And your claret!”
“ My good, wholesome port again, sir. Three
winesoul, three waters in, one pinch of tartaric
acid; two ditto orris-powder. For a fuller
claret, a little brandy; for a lighter claret, more
water."
“ Bat how did you contrive about Burgundy?”
"That was my claret, sir, with from three’ to
six drops of bergamot, according as a gentleman
liked a full flavor or a delicate flavor. As for
champagne, sir, that of course I made myself.”
“How do you mean, ‘of course,’Burley ?”
“ Lord, sir,” said he, with an innocent, vet
waggish look, “ surely every body makes his
own champagne, else what can become of all the
gooseberries ?”
How to Cough — A writer in the New York
Sun says it is injurious to cough leaning for
ward, as it serves to compress the lungs, and
makes the irritation greater. Persons prone to
the enjoyment, should keep the neck straight,
and throw out the chest. By these means the
lungs expand, and the wind-pipe is kept free and
clean. There is an art in every thing, and the
art of coughing is perhaps as important in its
way as any other.
The Right Kind or a Whig.—A gentleman
from New Haven, who had been engaged in
urgent business in Rochester, New-York, for
several weeks past, finding himself unable to
finish it before the election in his own State,
left it, went to New Haven, voted, and has now
returned to finish his business in Rochester.
The distance travelled by this patriotic gentle
man, for the express purpose of polling a vote
for the good cause, was nearly 700 miles. Such
a citizen is worthy of his honored State.— Boston
Allas.
£J-Heniust have been an acute observer
and profound thinker who first exclaimed,
“ How many fond mothers and frugal house
wives keep their pretty daughters and their pre
serves for some extra occasion—some 1 big bug’
or other—till both turn sour."
The editor of the Knickerbocker ludicrously
illustrates the necessity of a reform in medical
nomenclature. Very much confounded, he
says, was our friend Dr. Doane, a few years
since, by a remark of one of his patients. The
previous day the doctor had prescribed that sale
and palatable remedy the syrup of buckthorn,
and left his prescription duly written in the
usual cabalistic character: ‘Syr. Ran. Calk.'
On inquiring if the patient had taken the medi
cine, a thundercloud dardened her lace, light
ning flashed from her eyes, and she roared out,
‘No! I can read your doctor writing, and I aim
a-goin’ to take the Syrup of Ram Cals for any
body under heaven!’
Les Perfides Anglais.— The Rouen journals
state that the following carious notice was late
ly proclaimed by the town crierof Yvetot (Seine
Inlerleure.) “ A considerable number ot Eng
lishmen being about to be employed on the rail
road, the Mayor engages the ladies, both young
and old, not to walk in the streets after nine o’-
clockin the evening."
No Accounting for Tastes— Alexandria letters
mention that much scandal has been occasioned
in Cairo, by the expressed desire ot a young
English lady to be received into the bosom of
Islamism, in order to wed a young Egyptian
who had captivated her. Col. Barrett (British
Consul) was requested by the young lady’s
friends to interlere, and fortunately a '.egal pre
text presented itself—the would-be Mahometan
is a minor. She was about io be sent home to
England.

ing been engaged in the manufacture of Lumber
for many years, leel fully warranted in stating,
that HOTCHKISS’ VERTICAL WATER
WHEELS, and their appendages, are worthy of
the patronage of all mill owners, and that we have
full confidence in their superiority : that the va
lue of Mills will be very much enhanced by their
introduction. They are more durable, and easier
kept in order when properly put together than
the common Flutter Wheel; they will save at
least one-third of the water, and run well in back
water when there is a head above. The speed ol
the saw is increased from one-half to double the

SUMMERVILLE FEMALE SE
MINARY.-MU, and MRS. HATFIELD,
who have lor the last ticelve years been engaged
in the ins truction of youth, in Camden, So. Ca.
have determined to establish a Female Seminary
at the Sand HiUs, near Augusta. With this
view, they have secured a convenient and pleas
ant location in a central part of the village, (the
premises formerly occnpied by the Rev. Mr. Da
vis,) where they will be prepared to receive into
their family ten or twelve young ladies as board
ers, and as many day scholars as may apply.
They flatter themselves that their mature ex
perience in Teaching, and the success which has
attended their efforts in South Carolina, will en
able them to meet the wishes of their patrons,
and to establish a permanent Institution of the
highest order in this healthful and pleasant local
ity.
The course of instruction will embrace all the
blanches of a liberal education, viz: the Lan
guages, ancient and mode n, Mathematics,
Belles Lettres, &c,, Music and Drawing, with
the elementary branches.
Their personal supervision will be extended to
every department of instiuetion, and if necessa
ry, the ablest -ssistants will be employed.
Instead of referring, as they might, to their nu
merous patrons resident in Soulh Carolina, Mr.
and Mrs Hatfield beg leave to refer to the Rev.
Mr. Davis, of Auvusta, who has been personally
acquainted with them during their residence in
Carolina, and ia familiar with their mode of in
struction, and authorizes them to append the fol
lowing expression of his opinion. The school
will open on the first Monday (7th) of April.
Dear Fib : —I cheeriully accord to yourself
and Mrs. Hatfield, the assurance of my lull con
viction of your unusual qualifications to conduct
the importantand responsible enterprise in which
you have embarked. The fact, which is within
my knowledge, that you both have secured the
highest esteem, and retained the unlimited con
fidence of the community, in which, for so ma
ny consecutive years, you have almost entire
ly engrossed the instruction of the youth of
both sexes, is of itself a sufficient voucher of
your superior claims to public confidence, and
supercedes the necessity of any other testimo
nials. Yours, respectfully,

TEXAS COTTON SEED.
THE subscriber offers for sale, Cot
ton Seed of very superior quality. The
original stock was procured in Texas, and culti
vated on his plantation in Newton county, for
the last three years, with extraordinary success.
The yield is much larger, and the quality superior
to the Petit Gulph or other kinds of Cotton usu
ally grown in this section of country.
Planters who purchase a supply of the seed
may rely upon sufficient increase in product of
the first crop to refund the outlay for seed.
: Planters who take an interest in improvements
1 of this sort, are referred to the annexed certifi
cates, and the Cotton raised from the seed maj
be seen at the warehouses of Adams & Hop* ins

Dear Si:— l regret it was not in my power y< s
terday, when I saw you, to give you any opinion
with regard to a small lot of co’ton I have grow
ing from seed presented to me last spring by my
friend John W. Graves, Esq. Since then, how
ever, 1 have been to my plantation and made com
parison of it with my crop of cotton, and now
take pleasure in saying to you, it is a superior ar
ticle in point of fineness and length of fibre, con
taining more lint on the seed, and will yield much
more from the same quantity of land planted. I
am respectfully, dear sir, your obedient servant,
[Signed) Wm. Johnston.
Georgia, Newton County ;
I hereby certify that I obtained from John W.
Graves, of this county, a sack of Cotton Seed
(which he represented of superior quality intro
duced from Texas,) which I planted last spring,
A.: J find to exceed my most sanguine e .pectation.
I plantedit two or three weeks after my other
cotton, (which is the Petit Gulph,) and notwith
standing the season W>s dry and unfavorable
throughout the year, (the growing season) yet it
is by far the best cotton lever made. I think by
the time it is all gathered, the best part will yield
2000 to 2500 pounds per acre. My neighbors who
have seen it are of the same opinion. From the
trial I have made, I believe it will yield double as
much as my other cotton on land of the same fer
tility. [Signed] Jackson Harwell.
24th October, 1844.
Georgia, Morgan County: ,
This is to certify that I am neighbor to JonnT
McNeil, Esq., and thjt he last spring got a load
of Texas Cotton Seed from John W. Graves,
Esq., of Newton county, and planted them on
what I consider average land of his farm ; and
from frequent observation of the crop, with his
other cotton, (which is the Petit Gulph,) I do be
lieve it will far excel any other cotton I have ever
seen raised in this section of country. And 1
also believe that the staple excels any other I
have ever examined, as to fineness and color
[Signed] John P. Evans.
This will certify that I acted as overseer for
Mr. JohnT. McNeil for the year 1844. My know
ledge of farming induces me to believe that the
Texas Cotton, raised by Mr. McNeil this year, is
a very superior article, and with me preferable to
any other cotton 1 have ever raised. Itisoflong
and fine staple, and well boiled, and easily picked
out, and has withstood a drought this year belter
than the Petit Gulph Cotton. It is, in a word, a
valuable cotton. I have gin tied eight bales of the
Texas Cotton on Mr. McNeil’s Career Gin, and
find that it yields one pound of clear cotton from
three of seed cotton ; and from my experience of
thirty years in cotton growing, I have never rais
ed any I think equal to the Texas Cotton.

Dear Sir—Having been called on by you to
make a statement in relation to your Texas Cot
ton, we lake pleasure in saying, that for the last
two or three years we have received qt our ware

riably proved very superior, both as to color and
length of staple. On sale, it has always brtught
the highest market price. We consider it a very
superior article in the cotton line.
Your obedient servants, Adams & Hopkins.
Air. John T. McNeil:
Dear Sir—We have received the two bales ot
Texas Cotton sent by you to us, and take pleas
ure in saying that in color and length of staple it
is superior to anything we have seen; and cheer
fully recommend it as such as will always bring
the highest market price.

IWILL say to the planters of Geor
gia and South Carolina, that I continue to
carry on the manufacturing of Colton Gins in
Crawfordville, Ga., where 1 am prepared to ma
nufacture them on various plans to suit purcha
sers. I will give a minute description of my
best gins. My saws are of the best cast Ettel,
and 10 inches in diameter, and I put nine teeth
to the inch; saw cylinder one and a half inch
square. The breasts are all wrought, well faced
with steel and very thick ; the brush is equal if
not superior to any made, and runs on the anti
friction plan. If persons shou’d not like the nn
ti-frictlon plan, I make them with a very superior
box, which will contain oil enough to last the gin
three days, with a steel screw in the end so as to
prevent the saw’s rubbing the breast. Either of
the above mentioned kinds of gins I wiH se i at
$2 50 per saw, and warrant them to make as
good cotton as any gins made in the United
States, and to gin a good quantity per day. J
will make the plain gin of the same material for
82 per saw, the saws 9 inches in diameter, and
warrant them to make equally as good cotton. I
will frankly acknowledge that my old make of
g ns were nothing like equal to the gins that 1 am
now making. Any poison wishing one of the
above mentioned ginswill address the subscri
ber at Crawfordville, Ga., and a gin of either of
the above mentioned kinds will be delivered and
warranted to perform equal to the above recom
mendations.
I will further state to the planters my reasons
for mentioning hat my breasts are all wr tight.
I have tried the cast ribs and find them not equal
to the wrought. In fully authenticating what 1
say relative to the performance of my improved
gins I give below certificates from gentlemen
who have used my gins for the last season.
Repairintf will be done by special contract on
ly, and as cheap as any gin maker in the South
ern States. All orders addressed to the subscri
ber will receive prompt attention.
I will keep gins for sale at the principal ware
houses in Augusta,
S. R. CRENSHAW,.Crawfordville, Ga.
Crawfordville, March 11, 1845.
This is to certify that I purchased last tall one
ofS. R. Cienshaw's improved anti-friction cotton
gins, and said gin has come fully up to the re
commendation given to the gin. I cau gin from
1000 to 1200 pounds of neat cotton per day, and
makegood cotton, such as will command from J
to | cent over that of the common gin.
GILCHRIST OVERTON.
Greene County, Ga., March 25, 1845.
This Is to certify that! purchased a fifty saw
anti-.'rlction Gin of Mr. S’. R. Crenshaw last Fall,
each saw has one hundred and seventy-two teeth
which are very fine ; the brush wheel has eighteen
rows of brushes; the gin runs very flriit, so
imrih so that one mule is sufficient to carry it
without difficulty. The cotton when ginned has
to a cons durable extent the appearance of having
been carded, and so complet .ly is the lint sepa
rated froin the motes that almost the whole of
them drop down. I have
or a carver gm wiin mine, and it was de
cried by several persons whj saw the samples,
that mine had fewer motes, and was better gin
ned in every respect. If Mr. Crenshaw would
make al. his gins like mine, I would recommend
all wfr> want gins to send to Crawfordville, in
stead of to the North or any where else.

VEGETABLE PILLsI
A PUBLIC BLESSING.
These Pills are composed ot vegetables of the
most innocent, yet specific virtues, and arc admi
rably adapted to the cute of all bilious complaints.
They are highly useful at all seasons of the
year, ami more particularly during the spring
and summer months, when persons of bilious
habits experience a total loss of appetite, diM- ■
grecable listlessness,and general di rangeipentoi ■
the system. They are the best cathartic and
penent medicine ever introduced to the public)
they are highly useful as a preventive against Jhe
levers which prevail In the South during the siKk
ly season ; they strengthen the stomach,
u good appetite, promote digestion, purify the
blood, and restore the invalid to his original
strength and vigor. Persuns laboring under the
infirmities ol old age will find this medicine to
prove wjiolesorne, agreeable, andinvigorating, as- x
sisting digestion in a remarkable degree, remov
ing those low spirited and trembling sensations,
the sure effect of want of tone in the systems
They are peculiarly adapted to those who are
troubled with habitual costiveness, and on ac
count of their restorative qualities are particular •
ly recommended to those who are suffering from
chronic and lingering complaints. As a general
family medicine they tire not surpassed by any
other preparation, and no medicine chest should
be without them. Hundreds, we may say thou
sands,are now in theenjuymentof perfect health,
which may be attributed entirely to the fortunate
use of a single 25 cent box of Spencer's Vegetable
Pills. The medical faculty warmly approve of
tins medicine, and recommend it in prelerencet
allother; and they certainly are most compcteno
to judge of its merits. Persons wishing to
chese anti-bilious family meoieine,cannot be
particular to inquire for ‘ Spencer’s Pills.”
not mind wbat interested venders may tell
about others being as good, as there are thou
sands of preparations forced into market almost
everyday, unskilfully prepared, and of doubtful
efficacy. This preparation has been long used
by some oftlie leading lights of the profession in
their extensive practice, and is now prepared with
great care, and upon chemical and scientific prin
clples, for general use, by the present proprietors
only. The imputation of quackery, therefore,
cannot be affixed to thia medicine, since it is the
production of regular, scientific, practicing phy
sicians, who have made the healing art their pro
fession, and whose pharmaceutic preparations
will ever be h< Id in the highest estituAtion.
