Fam.nk in J Kni" We again direct the
attention of our benevolent brethren to the pre
sent distressing condition of our co-religionists
in the Holy Land, disturbed by civil discord
and languishing with dreadful famine; and
lest it should be said that the accounts ot our
relief-seeking Jewish brethren are oriental ex
aggerations, wealsocopy the accounts furnished
by Christian journals, which fully bear out the
statements of the former. We indulge in the
hope that some of our wealthy brethren, whom
God has blessed with riches to be able to relieve
our poor abroad without thereby reducing their
beoev<..fence at home, may “seek the welfare
of Jerusalem. ’ The calamity ot the famine
increases with every day; the prices ot the
common necessaries us lite have risen to the
utmost, and in the whole month ot Nissan no
ram moistened the ground. Languishing as
ue ate in this state ot misery, our anxiety is
Stillmore enhanced when we think of the ensu
ing year. The harvest season has already set
ih, and the prices have risen to that extent that
a measure ot Eimo Nia, (common wheat flour.l
which generally costs fivegedolim, (dollars,) has
risen to fifteen. From this you may conclude
the rates of other commodities ot lite. The
greatest ol all afflictions is the poverty and des
titution in which the inhabitants are plunged;
no one can succeed in procuring sustenance tor
his household; and in vain we long lor (eliet
Iron: without. The meanings which should
movcevciy heait, the bitter cries and lei vent I
prayer, have not excited the compassion of our I
co-religionists, and the sources of sustenance ’
appear more and more to dry up.
The distress is Stillmore fell on account of <
the reduction in the earnings of the poor; loud i
and bitter cries of weeping resound from every 1
quarter. The holy city, alas! is visited by va- ;
nous kinds of plagues, and we have only to
pray to the Eternal that he in his mercy may look
down upon us and turn his wrath from us; for <
indeed, we are wearied with suflerings, and <
lowly humbled by depressing afflictions. Our
eyes ate turned to Heaven, and may He have
mercy upon us.— Jewish, Chronicle.
A Chapter on Pumps.
The following article being a reminiscence of
the olden lime in New York, is contributed to
the New York Express by that venerable chron
icler of past times, Grant Thorburn ;
Fifty years ago, at the corner of almostevery
street, there stood a pump, whose water was
used tor all culinary purposes in the family—
tea only excepted. This was brought to our
doors from a spring in Chatham-street, and sold
by the gallon. The Croton water is very con
venient in the kitchen, and may save the wages
of one servant, but ihereby the most perfect
works of Nature are kept in the shade, and
positively buried under ground. Fifty years
ago we had no “ Upper Ten Thousand,” but
tew hired servants,and very few that were poor
and proud; there were not many of our citizens
whose wives and daughters thought it any dis
grace to lake (he pail to the pump when the
boys were no’ at hand. Thu? the ladies,young,
old, and middle-aged, were al ways above ground
anil the law of the pump being “first come,
first served,” sometimes you would see a dozen
of the bonnie lasses round the pump at once,
waiting their turn, and discussing all subjects
ot domestic economy; in short, the pump was
the Bulletin Matrimonial, where deaths, births,
marriages and burials, were all duly recorded.
I sojourned forty years round the old Dutch
Pump, at the corner of Libertj r and Nassau -
! streets; this pump was the favorite \«Ah all the
lasses tor several blocks around. At 12, M.,
especially, I have often seen a score of them
around that pump; one reason, I suppose, was,
it being completely shaded by a large tree, be
ing one of twelve which stood sentry, between
Cedar and Liberty streets, for nearly sixty years
—but 1 soon found out another reason—which
satisfied me, though perhaps it may not satisfy
anybody else, viz: from five to twenty-five mi
nutes past 12 o’clock, there was then—and it is
the case the present day—a solid stream of
young working-men pouring along the church
fences on their way to dinner in the eating
houses above Maiden Lane. After a while 1
also noticed that at this witching hour, the las
ses had their rigging better trimmed, their locks
more compassed, and may be an extra necklace
or ribbon to set oft the contour. 1 also noticed
that the neatest article among this company
never brought—a pail with her at 12 o’clock—on
ly a pitcher. She never was in a hurry at this
hour; she stood conversing with a gossip, the
pitcher most conspicuous; alongcame a swain,
she held the pitcher and he drew the water
five minutes conversation—a walk on the bat
tery that same moonlight night—on that day
month Dr. Rogers, in the Wall-street Church,
pronounced them man and wife. All right and
true! Bible doctrine. So did Jacob meet Ra
chel at the well, and fell in love at first sight,
as you may read in Genesis.
1 will only add a few words more about our
Pumps, as they stood most prominent fifty-two
years ago—then we had few fire engines, and
they were small and inferior. I don’t think they
used suckers at that period for drawing water
from the river, by means ot the engines. By
law, when a man built a house, he was obliged
to provide a bucket for each fire place in said I
house. These buckets were made ot leather,
and held about two gallons—the name ot the
owner and number of the house was painted on
the side of each bucket; when the alarm was
given it was the duty ot every one in the house
to throw the buckets in the streets—men and
women running to the fire took one in each
hand and went ahead. From the fire to the
nearest pump, or it the fire was near the river,
to it a double line was formed, one side pass
ing up the full, and (he other side passing down
the empty buckets—women were always in the
ranks, and, in case of emergency, 1 have seen
the ladies among the most respectable in the
ranks—the men—that had souls—always put
the women on the side where the empty buck
ets passed—the constables and fire wardens
forced idle men into the ranks—the women
were volunteers. If a man deserted his post
he was deluged with water as he ran along the
lines or pounded by the poles of the fire ward
ens. It was a pretty tough job in the cob'
night; 1 have stood lift my soles froze to the
ground.
Next morning, the cartman in pay of the cor
poration, gathered up the buckets and oumped
them in the large hall, in the basement of the
courthouse where now stand the customhouse.
The children or servants of the citizens picked
up those belonging to them, and by night they
were again hanging in their passages ready for
the next fire. Were it not for the plague of
rowdyism, in some of the departments, I should
say they manage the concern much belter now.
A D oaiuu Ikilied bv her Huhlniiml at her
own request.
The following Extraordinary case occurred
a short lime since at Wurtemburgh; we find it
in a late foreign journal
Adam Gay ring, a man sixty-four years of age,
of honest and uptight dealings, loved and re
spected by all who knew him, presented himself
on the Bth ult., before the authorities at Heiden
heim, and stated calmly that he had just killed
his wile. His declaration was immediately
taken, as follows:My wife,”he said, “as
every one knows, has been suffering for a long
time from illness, and at limes the pains she
had to endure were such as to affect her reason ;
she latterly gave up all hopes ot recovery, and
continually repeated that not only was life a tor
ment to her, but that she feared that it 1 died before
her, she would be reduced to misery. This
morning, after we had read together the 4th
chapter of the Book of Judge s (they were devout
people and read the Bible every day,) she re
quested me to drive a nail into her temple, as
Jael did to Sisera, as such a death seemed to
her short and easy, and would put an end to her
sufferings; she said she forgave me beforehand
for this act, of which she absolved me before God
and man. A nail, she said, would not cause a
great hemorrhage, and would make but a slight
wound. ‘As soon as 1 am dead,’ she added,
‘you can close the wound, put me on a clean
cap, and no one will know any thingabout it.’—
After long resistance (continued Gay ring) I gave
away to the wishes of my wife. I took a nail
and began to drive it in her left temple with a
hammer but the nail was too weak, and the
point instead of entering, flattened itself on the
bone. 1 then took a small drill, but was equal
ly unsuccessful. My wife grew impatient, and
requested me to kill her al once with the ham
mer, which I accordingly did, by knocking her
in the skull. The body of my wile is at my
house, where you can examine it at your lei
sure.”
The magistrate immediately proceeded to the
house with a medical man, and Gayring under
a strong guard. They found the body dressed,
upon the bed. On the left temple there were
two wounds, and the right side of the skull was
knocked in as lowdown as the temple. Beside
the bed was a table, on which was a bible, the
nail, drill, and hammer alluded to. On the
ground was a basin ol water, in which the mur
derer, according to his own declaration, washed
his hands before presenting himself to the au
thorities.
Gayring is now in prison; he is perfectly
calm, and convinced that he acted well in ful
filling the wishes ot his wife by putting an end
to her suflerings. Some Wtirtemburg papers
state that the inhabitants of the village of Gus
senstadt, where the murder was committed, left
their work as soon as they heard ot the murder,
and spent the day in the church, tasting and
praying for the soul of the departed.
A Touching Incident.—Our friend who
kindlv addresses us in a long communication
from Memphis, Tenn., will excuse our extract
ing the following beautilul incident for publi
cation. A lull history of the rise and progress
ol that city, lately published in De Bow’s lie
view, precludes the necessity of inserting the
entire letter in our columns: “ Before 1 con
clude let me relate a little incident which occur
red here a few days since. The marshalshave
been, tor the last two months, “dealingdestruc
tion’sdevastating doom”among the canine race.
A little girl playing with two favorite dogs, left
them tor a tew moments, and on her return saw
the marshal approaching them, gun in hand.
By commands and entreaties she succeeded in
getlingone of them beyond the reach of danger,
(inside of a gate) but was too late to assist the
other in effecting his retreat. The marshal had
now approached within shooting distance, and
took deadly aim at the dog. For one instant the
sweet child hesitated, and the contending emo
tions ot personal apprehension and love lor her
playmate were legibly depicted on her beautiful
face, it was but for one moment—the next, and
with abound, she had reached Acr friend, and
clasped him round the neck, forming a complete
shield to him from the messenger ot death, and
exclaiming all the tune, in the most thrillingac
cents ot supplication, but still with the took of
a youthful Pocahontas, ‘he’s not, mad, Mr.
Marshal—he’s sot mad.’ The marshal brought
his gun to his shoulder, came to the ’bout lace,
and inarched ofl, remarking to a gentleman,
that he would not kill that dog for all the may
ors and aldermen in creation.— N. O. Times.
Discovery of Gold in Massachusetts.—Some
very fine specimens of gold have recently been
discovered by Johu H. Blake Esq., of Boston,
while examining a quartz vein which was laid
open in Dedham, Mass., by his directions, for the
purpose of ascertaining whether it was worth
working for galena. This is probably the first
discovery of gold, in any place, in New England
Besides galena there were found in the same vein
carbonate and sulpburet of copper.
A Singular Makriaue.— Alarried—ln New
ton county, on Friday morning the 31st July
by a Justice ot the Peace, Mr. Laborn Hort on
to Miss Jans: Bishop.
The parties stood on one bank of the Alcova
river, while the officiating magistrate, with the
voice ot a stentor, read out the ceremony from
the opposite bank—a distance of seventy paces.
A Singular Burial.—The Courier des Flats
Unis horn the “Avenir' of Point Peter, Guada
loupc, gives the following instance of supersti
tion remaining among the blacks of that island.
The occasion was the burial of a negro cook :
A few moments before taking up the cotlin
all the cooks of Point Peter, a pretty imposing
number, had arrived al the house of the dead.
Each wore upon his mourning dress, the white
apton, symbol ot the profession, and carried in
his hand—one a carving knife—one a sauce
pan, one a trying pan—in a word, all the kitch
en utensils accompanied all the cooks. The
coffin was followed up by a complete meal
carefully prepared, and which would have been
much better for a living, than a dead man.
There were fine looking roast fowls—iced hams,
plates of baked rice—and the usual compli
ments of these dishes, which, carried with be
coming gravity—with their crape covering—
recalled a distant idea ot the caparisoned war
horse following the last march ot his master.
At intervals, in the funeral procession was
heard loud, or smothered cries—not of heart
stricken mourners, but of cocks and ducks, whose
heads were cut oft from lime to time, with great
solemnity, and their blood sprinkled along the
road.
Arrived at the outskirts ot the city, the pro
cession halts, and then begins a most singular
movement; some rub the kettles, some sharpen
the knives, some blow violently the invisible
bellows. One is apparently broiling a chop,
another cutting up parsley, another turning the
spit, and another tasting the sauce. It is a final
representation of the bustling scenes of a kitch
en on great occasions—a last discharge over
the funeral of the cook, like the military dis
charge over the grave of a soldier. When the
coffin was let down, the dishes they had brought
were all placed in order upon it, and the well
provisioned body covered with earth. The
crowd returned, at their leisure, convinced, no
doubt, that the dead would fare well in his
tomb. _
Interesting Relic.—A venerable revolu
tionary officer, a highly respectable citizen of
Connecticut, lately discovered between the
leaves ot an old volume, where it had been long
forgotten, a miniature portrait ot the unfortunate
.Major Andre, whose fate has excited such uni
versal sympathy, sketched by Andre himself,
with a pen. He is represented sitting at a small
round table, in the room, where he was confined,
his legs crossed, one arm thrown negligently
upon the back of his chair, and the righthand
resting on the table, near an inkstand and pen.
The scene probably represents him in the situa
tion in which he drew the sketch. The coun
tenance is placid and thoughtful, and highly ex
pressive. The drawing is apparently executed
with great ease, rapidity and gracefulness, and
the likeness is said to be good. It was present
ed by Andre himself to the officer©! the guard
on duty at the time, and by him to the gentle
man who now possesses it, who was stationed
near, and frequently visited Major Andre du
ring his confinement, ft is stated that Major
Andre was in the habit of making similar
sketches and drawings, which were frequently
obtained by gentlemen who visited him.
Rustic Courtship.— Ata rustic merry-making
Roger was seated facing Patty ; enamored ot her
beauty, and stung by the arrows of the little god,
he only vented his passion in sly looks, and now
and then touching Patty’s toe with his foot under
the table. Patty, either fearful that the purity ot
her hose might be soiled, or determined to make
the youth express a passion which he appeared
so warmly to feel, at length exclaimed with spirit.
“If you love me, why, tell me so ; but don’t dirty
my stockings!”
Black Sam,
Who could not, for the life of him, black the Vo
unteer's boots, but who was death on conundrums.
As Sam, the negro boot-black, was passing
up St. Charles-street yesterday, with the imple
ments of his “purfession,” as himself says—
brushes, blacking, and a piece of slick with a
bevelled edge on it, in a basket, under his arm,
he was hailed by an Indiana volunteer, whose
bools were outside his trowsers, up to his knees,
and die mud on which was an inch thick, more
or less; he was literally upto his knees in mud.
“ I say, old Lignum vita?!” said the volunteer,
“ are you not a hoot-black?”
“Wai, I isn’t notin’ else.” said Sam. “I has
polished dis ere squar—dat is de people wot
lives in it—for de las fifteen years. You see,
deperlussion has extended to me in de reg’lar
marternal line: my larder was a boot-black.”
“ All right Ebony,” said the volunteer, rais
ing his loot and resting the heel of his boot in
Sam’s lap, and supporting himself against the
lamp-post.
Now, the volunteer’s boots, be it known, be
sides being partially wet and particularly dirty,
never since the)’ came off the last, nor perhaps
even then, had brushed acquaintance with
“ Day and Marlin,” or any substitute for that
“unrivalled” blacking.
Sam, nothing daunted however, wentto work.
He scrapedofl the dirt and brushed in the black
ing; but, although he rubbed, and rubbed, and
continued to rub, the boot remained as dull and
as dark as Erebus.
“Go ahead,” said the volunteer.
“ I calls dis goin’ a foot, massa,” said Sam.
“But, wyis dis boot, massa—(he still keeps
rubbing tor lite bare) —-wy is dis boot, 1 say, like
Pete Gumbo among de gals when I is dar.”
“I don’t know,” said the volunteer—“nor,
curse your eurly head, I don’t care.”
“ Den, says Sam. “ you gibs it up. Dis boot
I"*,iv t.o udder d-m dor pdtfwolne
circumstances, ’cause it can’t shine l . Yaw! yaw!
yaw!
“Brush on,”said the volunteer, “and bring
out the polish, oryou shan’t have the first red
cent for the job.”
Sam did brush on and away, but still he
could bring forth no polish. Finding all fur
ther efforts unnecessary, he looked up in the vo
lunteer’s face, the perspiration covering his phiz
like globular bubbles in a pool of a rainy day,
and uncovering his ivories with a broad, good
natured grin, he asked, “Massa, wy is I like
Kosciosko? You just tells medal, and I gibs in;
but I reckon you’ll hab to gib in anyway you
can fix it. I sees you gibs it up,” said Sam:
“ Den 1 is like Massa Kosciosko ’cause I en
deavored to effect a Polish Revolution, and fail
ed!”
The honest volunteergave a loud guffaw, and
gave Sam half-a-dollar, not tor polishing his
boots, for that he did not do; but tor his aptitude
at making a conundrum.— N. O. Della.
Medals for the Subalterns. —We were
shown, says a late New Orleans Delta, one of the
medals to be presented to the br*ve non-commis
sioned officers who so nobly distinguished them
selves in the battles of the Sth and 9th. They are
made of solid gold, about the size and somewhat
over the thickness of a doubloon. On the inverse
side is seen the coat of arms of America, surround
ed bj- twenty-nine stars, representing the different
States, Texas included. At the foot of the eagle
is inscribed—“ Palo Allo and Resaca de la Pal
ma.” On the reverse is engraved—“ Presented to
services in the battles of the Sth and 9th of May,
1846,” —the whole surrounded by a handsome
wreath. These medals are pronounced by compe
tent judges to be the most beautiful ever made in
New Orleans, and much credit is due Messrs.
Hyde & Goodrich, under whose superintendence
they were manufactured, for the splendid manner
in which they are executed. They will be for
warded to the seat of war at the earliest opportuni-
Tiie Little Showman.—ln New-York, for
the last past year or two, says the Picayune, a
mild blue-eyed little Italian lad might almost
daily be seen about the streets on the battery
and in other public places, exhibiting in a
small brown looking cage, but a trifle larger
than a good sized rat-trap, a few pretty little
mice, as white as the fresh and soft cotton that
theit little master daily placed in their dwelling.
The child was a perfect picture of angelic
meekness. His coarse blue trowsers, his well
worn black velveteen jacket, and a full clumsy
looking blue cloth cap, from which streamed
his long silky flaxen hair, and his little box
siting across his shoulders by a leathern strap,
could not fail to interest the attention of the
passer by. As he dotted his cap and bowed
with a natural and inimitable grace, and uttered
his “You see la file mice?” his look was ir
resistibly touching, and when receiving an as
sent the joy that beamed in his smiling counte
nance and lighted up his lace as he eagerly
took the little creatures from ‘.heir cage, anil
let them clamber upon him, over his face and
into his bosom, imparted a glow of pleasure to
even the most stoical old gentleman that ever
wore a spencer and carried a blue cotton um
brella. He was alone, a stranger in a foreign
land, and the only beings that he could press
to his bosom with the knowledge that they at
least were attached to him, were his little com
panions, the mice. This lad is recalled io our
recollection by seeing announced in the Boston
papers that a small, interesting little Italian lad
named Angelo La llwer, who exhibited a while
mouse in that city, had died in the Massachu
setts Hospital, alter an illness of ten months.
He enlisted the sympathy of all the officers of
ibe institution, who extended to him every kind
ness. The Boston Times in speaking of his
death, relates a singular circumstance—the
appearance in the garden of the hospital of a
white mouse. The Times thus conclude
notice ol the death: “ The day before he dr •
beautiful young white mouse was found in
garden ot the hospital and brought to Angelo.
He was delighted The bitterness of death was
I tor the moment forgotten. The night which
’ followed was solemn and melancholy to all his
; fellow-sufferers, as they listened to his touching
i ejaculations, ‘I cannotdie! 1 am afraid to die!
1 want my mother!’ But the weary one was
soon to be at rest:
•' For when the morn came dim and sad,
And chill with early .showers,
His quiet eyelids closed—he had
Another morn than ours.”
Wonderful, even for Wisconsin.—We
were informed yesterdav, by a gentleman living
near Kushkenong, in this Territory, that one ot
his neighbors, a German, from the Mohawk
Valley in New York, who is 84 years uld, was
recently presented by his wife with three chil
dren at one birth—two boys and one girl. The
wife is 70 years old, and has had no children for
twenty years previous. Their residence, how
ever, in the Territory being about two years,
may account for this extraordinary birth. The
father proposes calling one of the boys Oregon,
the other Texas. We expect after this to see a
more tremendous rush ol emigration than ever
to our productive Territory.— Milwaukie Senli- i

A FACT WORTH KNOWING.
A GENTLEMAN of a scrofulous
habit, became afflicted with Ulcerations
of the Throat and Nose, and a disagreeable and ’
troublesome disease of the skin. Indeed his
whole system bore the mark's of being saturated i
with disease. One hand and wrist were so much
affected that he had lost the use of the hand,
every part being covered with deep, painful and <
offensive Ulcers, and his hand and wrist were as f
hollow and porous as a honeycomb. It wa< at 5
this stage, "if his complaint, when death appear- s
ed inevitable from a loathsome disease, that h~ c
commenced the use of Jayne’s Alterative, and c
having taken sixteen bottles, is now pcr/ecz/y i
cured.— PhUa. Ledger.
This Alterative operates through the circula

G T. OGLESBY & BROTHER’S
ANTI-FRICTION GINS.
Sparta, Georgia.
& OFFER to the public the
V ¥ above article. From fifteen years ex
pct’ence and labor in making Cotton Gins,
we are of opinion that there is little room
left for improvement on the above article. The
materials arc of the best quality, portions of the
work of every gin passing though our shop are
done bv G. T. Oglesby. Our charges for the
above article arc higher than any others charge
for Cotton Gins. We sell the finest article we
make at S 3 per saw ; but if our price is different,
our Gins are different, and so is the price of cot
ton sold from them.
Most of the planters have heretofore complain
ed that cotton buyers are so choice in the article
that they will acknowledge none to be worth the
highest quotations now. It is not uncommon tor
sellers of Cotton ginned by our gins to obtain
} cent per pound over the highest quotations, as
various certificates will show.
An impression has gone abroad prejudicial to
our interest in one particular ; it is believed by
many, we make no other articles than our Pric
tion Roller Gins, and for which we charge S 3.
We shall keep on hand and also execute to order
a superior article of plain gins, which will be sold
for less money, and will make equally fine cot
ton. We are determined to suit every class of
purchasers. We will sell a plain article as low
as can be desired by those who are not content
with price alone.
Ail orders addressed to us at Sparta, Ga., will
be immediately attended to.

Augusta, April 6,154 GT. Oglesby, Esq—
Dear Sir:—l have examined several crops of
Cotton ginned by your make of gins and take
pleasure in recommending them to the planters
of Georgia, as equal to any I have seen in the
State. Very respectfully yours. M.M. Dye.
Savannah, April 30, 1846. —The undersigned
Factors and Commission Merchants, take plea
sure in stating that the best cotton they have
received or seen, during the present season was
from the plantations of gentlemen residing in
the county of Hancock, who use Gins manufac
tured by G. T. Oglesby, of said county. It has,
in every instance, commanded the highest mar
-1 ket price, and very frequently | to h cent above
, the highest quotations. We cheerfully recom
mend them to our planting friends.

Air. Oglesby —Sir: — I have just finished gin
ning inv crop of cotton, on one of your Friction
Roller Gins, and I take great pleasure in stating
that it has performed to my < ntire satisfaction.
The cotton ginned on It being freeer from motes
’ and trash, and the quality of the staple less in-
- jured than that ginned on any other gin I have
ever used. 1 have not yet sold my crop of cot-
i ton, but 1 feel confident of obtaining the best
3 market price for it. Yours, respect uii y,
’ April 7, 1846. Richard P. Sasnett.
1 have used one of Mr. Oglesby’s Friction
1 Roller Cotton Gins and hesitate no’ in saying
’ that his gins arc superior to any gins that I have
1 ever seen. During the past season my cotton
f has commanded the highest markct price, and in
several instances has obtained i- more than the
highest Savannah quotations. His ginr- are su
z perior to any that i have overseen, in takingout
3 trasn and motes, <fcc., and will, in my jud/’im-nt,
make cotton, from the same quality of seed cot-
2 ton, that will command from ito J of a cent
more than any other gins. Thos. M. Turner.
Sparta, April 7, 1846.
1 have used and seen in operation for severa
years past Mr. G. T. Oglesby’s Gins, and from

Savannah. 26th Nov., 1845 —Mr. Oglesby—
j Dear Sir: Knowing that there weregreat ini
r provements going on in the way of gin making,
I have put ofl’ buying a new one for a year past,
for th-- purpose ot testing the gins of different
J makers by samoles of their cotton. I have ex
amined various samples of cotton in this market,
and find that your gins give decidedly the best of
- any that f saw. I wish you to make me one
of your best friction roller gins of fifty saws, and
have it ready by the next crop. Respectfully,
W, R. Battle.
' Hancock, Ga., 7th April, 1846. —I do hereby
certify that I have used one of G. T.
improved Friction Roller Cotton Gins and find it
to come fully up to my expectations in every
way. My Commission Merchant in Augusta
‘ spoke in the highest terms of the manner in
> which it was ginned, and sold it for the highest
prices George W. Culver.
I do he»ebv certify that I bought one of Messrs.
G. T. Oglesby & Brother’s Anii-Friction Gins
in 1844. on which 1 have ginned about 175 bales
of cotton, and 1 do say that I have been a cotton
planter for upwards of fifty years, and 1 have
used many gins, but 1 have no hesitation in say
ing that the Oglesby gin is decidedly the bust
gin I have ever used, or that I ever saw used. I
always sell my cotton for the highest market
price in Augusta, and the merchants there give
my cotton the praise of being a superior article.
I have ginned in six days fourteen bales, all in
daylight, and I consider the gin none the wmse
for wear. John H. Broughton.

Sparta, Ga., 7th April. 1946.—Mr. Oglesby—
Sir: I have ginned one hundied bales of cot ton on
the improved Friction Roller Gm 1 bought of yon
and am well pleased with its performance. My
factor wrote me that it was weii ginned. I pre
fer them to any gin I have ever seen. out s,
respectfully. Joseph R. Sasnett.
I certify that I have one of Mr. G.T.Oglesbv’s
Gins and that 1 consider it superior to any Gin
that I have over seen. A libera! patronageof the
public will not bo withheld from him whet: the
character of his gins arc known. 1 was induced
to purchase mie from the character given to him
by Commission Merchants of Augusta. I have
abandoned for his a gin which I had only used
two years, and consider that I was compensated
fur purchasing by the difference bt tween the two
in ginning mv last crop. J. M. Gonder.

Augusta, April 8, 1846. — U. T. Ogfesby, Esq--
Yours of the 30th ult., inquiring whether we had
received any cotton the past season ginned by
your “ Improved Gin,” came direct to hand, an 1 J
would have been replied to earlier but for the
press of business.
We have received but one crop this season,
that we know ot, which we had sampled after
the receipt of your letter, for the purpose of as
certaining its merits, and we congratulate you
upon the decision of several of our most experi
enced judges, who, after comparing it wi h the
best brands in the city, decided that it was infe
rior to none.
We have since sold the ciop, ar,d are satisfied
that the ginning enhanced its value, from f to
of a cent, per pound.
We would advise you to make no more im
provements ; your “ Improved GinT is good
enough, and can’t fail to give the most general
satisfaction. Respectful! v,
Dawson & Weavdr.

excellence andcleanllncss of the cotton, and for
the style of the material, it has never failed to
bring the highest prices usually commanded in
the market, and we further believe, that taking
the cotton turned out by his gin as a data, we see
no reason why his gins should in the least be in
ferior to Carver’s celebrated gins, which are now
gaining such unbounded reputation in the coun
try. The use of Mr. XVynne’s gins in this sec
tion of Georgia is very common, and be fools as
