The Snow Bird.
ar t. fisher. —Author of the Dial of the Season?.
This well known species* the FringilkLNiva
4is of Wilson, is by far die iao*>t numerou.; of
all the feitliored tribes that visit us in winter,
from the frozen regions of the North. Their
migrations and summer, nestling places extend
from the mountain summits of the AUgghanies,
to the Arctic circle, and probably beyond it.
Their winter q irirtejs are tiie whole Atlantic
breadth of the United States, from Maine to
Louisiana. llovv a. bird scarcely larger than
your thumb can exist and flourish in the sever
est frosts and storms, duriug a cold winter, is a
miracle in animal chemistry.
Bold hearted bird ! whole tiny form
Heralds the bleak and howling storm—
When winter, from his icy throne,
Lets loose die Vrhirlwinds of his power,
• And, o'«?r. onr habitable zone,
Triumphs tire despot of the hour.
Drive heart*; ! bird ! why come ye here,
At this cold season of the year 1
Those flights of summer birds, »o gay,
All lef; us —with the summer flowers—
Flew to the sunny South-away,
Where the perennial Pehn tree towers.
Warm hearted bird! why stay ye In-re,
At this bleak season «>f the year ?
How can so blight and fr ill a form
Survive the frosty and sleet, and storm ?
And pray, what do yon get to eat ?
Where do you warm your little feet?
Stranger! iny native summer homo
Is buried in the arctic night;
Resistless instin f bade ine roam —
How could I live.without the light ?
Sunlight has almost ceased to glow
Upon onr mountains at the North;
Stern famine, iu his robe of snow,
Ha * driven all our kindred forth.
Our fathers loved your homestead glen,
In time of snow,
And sheltered in your ivy then,
Long time ago.
We’re come, to spend our winter hours,
While storm winds blow ;
We'll glean the seeds of summer flower-*,
Above the snow.
Seeds are about the stack-yard floor,
And crumbs before the cottage door;
Nature provides an ample Store
F.*r bird* ami men:
There's food.for all «»f us, and more —
We'll come again.
We’ve taken q aartfrs here till spring—
Till then we'll slay ;
But, so->n as birds begin to sing,
We’ll fly away !
Gay birds will nestle in your bowers,
And cirol o’er your summer flowers,
But other destinies are ours;
We will not stay. •
Oft as the measured zodiacs run,
That lean our forcs r s to the sun :
When nummnrs brightest, highest moon,
Melt* hark the arctic waste of snow,
Ami all the lovely flowers of June
Wide o'er the Northern landscapes blow,
Once more, beside the mountain rills,
We’ll meet onr haves,
As hippy, on our native lulls,
As turtle doves.
But, when again the sun sinks low,
And winter" wreathes those lulls with snow---
When the wild snow-blast wafts us forth,
We'll gladly leave the desert North,
We’ll com** again :
Our fathers loved your homestead glen,
Ixmg time ago;
And ilium smiled, and gray-liaired men,
To greet the snow-laird-onerr again,'

Superstition,
It is singular, but it is true, that superstition
prevails in this day of knowledge. It is an im
possibility to reason people out of the belief that
the breaking of a looking-glass, the bowling of
a dog. the lowing of a cow at night, the gnaw
ing of an inseat upon the wall, etc., prognosti
cates the near approach of death to some mem
ber of the family. After the death of a child, a
brother or a parent, we have beard persons re
mark. with all sincerity—'J-know some one
■Would die : I was forwarned of it—l heard a
groan one uay nil-h*r the window and no one
wastlmre.” - We have also heard the remark
after tiie death of a friend—"l expected it.—
Our dog dug several graves in the yard, and
there were the signs of death.” Foolish as
Uih language may appear, we have heard it time
and again, especially from those who live in
the country anil are less informed. These very
perso h. who ar«? thus supesiilioiis. had they
lived in the days of Mather, would have been
firm believers in v.ie'iioralt, ghosts, and hob
goblins. And while they are thus deluded, they
are wretched. The barking of every dog—the
burning of every candle—the breaking of every
glass—makes them turn pale with fear. They
arc warned of death by every breeze. Night
brings them but lit-!<■ repose. The death tick
may be heard, or they may be warned of the
grim destroyer in a teribic dream.
Ge:i. W.dstein. who lived in the seventeenth
century, was singularly superstitious, though
he was brave and intrepid on the field of battle,
in 1725. while planning one of bis campaigns,
he sat up all night, as was usual on such occa
sions to consult the stars. Sitting by his win
dow, but in contemplation, he felt himself vio
lently struck on the back. Feeling that he was
alone, and his chamber door locked he was seiz
ed with affright. He doubted not this blow was
a message from God, to warn him ofliis speedy
death. He became melancholy, but his friends
knew not the cause. His confession, however,
discovered the cause; and one of the pages of the
General, confessed that, being intent on playing
one of his comrades a trick, hail hid himself in
W.dstcin’s apartment, and mistaking him for
his friend, hat! .-truck him on the back. While
his master was examining the room, he jumped
out of the window. The confessor pledged
his word that no evil should befall the page,
and Felt happy to be able to quiet the General.
Great was his surprise when he heard Walstcin
order the immediate hanging of the man. He
would hear no words; the gibbet was prepared,
the page delivered up, tiie executioner provi
ded. The whole army, from the highest offi
cers to the lowest in rank, felt indignant towards
the General, while the confessor threw himself
at '.he feet of W alstcin, Legging for the life of
the youth—but in vain. The page mounted the
ladder, and in a moment tire unfortunate
youth would have been in eternity, when
suddenly the General cried out —“.Stop!” and
iu a loud voice exclaimed, “Weil, young man.
have you now experienced what the fears id*
death are J 1 have served you as you have serv
ed me—now we are quits.” .More dead than
alive, •lie* poor youth descended from tiie gib
bet amid shouts of joy from the whole ar
my .
Thousands of people uti’er from super
stitions notions, when. if the cause of certain
i»oi-es and signs were explain 0 they would
see at once how foolish they had been. There
is a natural cause for everything. The death
lie in the wall is from a little insect; unpleasant
dreams arise from severe exertion, or ov«r eat
ing. Tiie faced and forms we imagine wesee
before us are caused by defect in our vision.—
We have warnings enough of death iu the fall
ing of the loaves—the decay of nature-, and the
deatii of friends, without making ourselves
eternally miserable !>;» our superstitious.—Satur

\ Female Lothario.
Appearances are often very deceitful, but
never more so than when a lady assumes male
attire, and in that disguise visits one of her own
sex, and pouis into her willing ear a portion of
the soft, sweet strains of never ending love.—
There is something strange and romantic about
the practice of making love to ouch other, for
which we could never account. W Ucihef it is
done through fulness, or from
a mere curiosity to know tin* secrets of oilier
hearts; or whether it ari-» s from a desire to be
revenged on the sex, by a portion of it who
never themselves have been favored with a
lover, they only know who practice it.
We make the foregoing remarks byway of
introducing a series of courting adventures
which lately happened in this city. This maid
en of the would-he masciUiuc gender rejoices
in the name of Fli/.a Mc(’oi;uiick. and for the
last two or three years bus manifested such a
particular regard Lor a gentleman's coat and
pantaloons that she often promenaded the streets
o! Hamilton in full dre-s. even lo a cigar and
crookyd cane. Thus equipped, her next ob
ject was to look out for a sweetheart; a busi
ness in which she seems to have been exceed
ingly fortunate, probably because she was better
acquainted with the strength of the citadel aud
tin* method of conducting a successful attack,
than any of those whose dress aud appearance
she had assumed. Be that as it may. we have
been made acquainted with six of her pretended
courtships, and all with dressmakers.
I low many more slip may have been engaged
in we know* not, but to three of those she
“ popped tin* question" of Hmrri«"C—was ac
cepted. and om* of them indulged so far in the
pleasing dream of matrimonial bliss, that she
actually prepared her wedding dress. During
tin* time that this female Lothario was carrying
on her flirtations, she was living as a serv ant in
the city , and she invariably played her pranks
upon such girls as were acquainted in the fami
lies in which r-lie lived.
She assumed all manner of characters, and
had as many names as a member of the London
swell mob. Sometimes she was a student of
medicine —sometime* a limb, of the law—in one
place she was a book-keeper in a dry goods
store —in another n gvntlcm.’in of property
lately arrived from Ireland, aud was exceeding
ly hard up for a wife. When she determine*!
on a nocturnal visit l > air- of the dear,
w hose hearts she had so >k charmed, die
dwav* w.*)" ••• fine real character and dress, a
.u* or two previous, and after sounding the
depth of die voting lady's affection, for Ml*. Mc-
Kensic. or Fit>.p*!rick, or whatever name she
lthd assumed, she would inform her that she
had I»»*eu sent by this gentleman to say that he
would visit the object of his heart's son lest so
licititde. at a certain hour of.i certain u.ght.—
This was playing a double game, it enabled
her in her real character to find out the state of
tiie girl's mind, and iu her assumed one. to u e
that mibrinatm.i for her own advantage.
Thotnos: recent love-making adventure that
this breaker of ladies* heart-* was engaged in.
terminated rather tragically on Sunday flight
last. She was engaged ;s a servant some two
months ago by a lady m the city. and at her
master's house she became acquainted with a
voting girl who was occasionally employed
there as a sempstress. When the luqnain
tanre had riponeu into something like confidence
she told the girl that a certain clerk in town was
deeply in love w ith her. and that lie had w dketl
several nights in front of her father’s res,.! n e
whistling a peculiar tune, in order, it' possible,
to get one glimpse of her pretty face. The bait
was swallow ed.
To be loved so ardently, and by a clerk, too.
made the young girl s heart beat high, and
when she was informed that Mr. Crawford, (the
name the heroine had assumed.) would pass her
dwelling whisTfittg on a certain night, she await
ed his approach with a kind of feverish anxiety,
shaded with hepe. The night came, and so
did Mr. Crawford, alias Mi* KlizaMcCormick,
dressed in a suit of her master's clothes. He
whistled his little tune—the door of a certain
house was noiselessly opened as he passed, and
the young sempstress, bin-dung at her boldness,
stood gazing on his receding figure. In a few
minutes he haft returned, and in a ie\> more he
commenced operation- He was in. love—
deep, distractedly .and iueurably.
J'ke listened to his avowal, gave him seme
| encouragement, and told him that she \v -w free
from any engagement. This seemed to revive
his love-lorn spirits, ami after making an ap
pointment for another interview. Mr (’rawford
departed. The parties m,*? -wend times sub
sequently. but the young girl wa> not so green
as her psuedo lover had expected. She sus
pected that Mr. Crawford was au animal of the
j feminine gender, and she cuminunicated her
* suspicions to a young ina ; of her ;u quaiutance
j who. vi l:h a trusty companion, was ready to
I pounce upon the unfortunate lover, the next
! time he would make his appearance. I.a^t
Sunday night gave the desired opportunity —
: .Mr. Crawford was -eized. hut like a genuine
• Irishman, he up with his iKt ami knocked down
\ one of the intruder*. When the scuttle was
| ended. Mr. Crawford
“Stv'.xi
A maid in all her rhanns!"
She was taken to tne pc i *e office and look
ed up during the remainder of the night. On
Monday evening, as no person had appeared
agariteuher. she %vas liberated and resumed fe
rn ale attire. We hope that the shame and morti
fication of a public exposure w ill have a salutan

SRirCxx*! BxrwrrN the Oceans.—The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Evening Post mention* among the incidental
advantages which have been •uggested as like
ly to be insisted upon by our Government, in
the negotiations for a treaty of peace, if that de
sirable period shall ever arrive, the privilege,
the monopoly, as against ail other foreign na
tions. of cutiinz a ship canal or communication

Pawfie
W inter Kvenings.— We commend the fol- 1
lowing excellent remarks which we clip from
the Weekly Symbol to the attention of our
readers. They are particularly applicable to
the present season:
“ Among the changes which autumn brings
with it, there is one which we always hail with
delight—tlic return of long evenings. In sum
mer, there seems scarcely to lie an interval be
tween day and mid-night; and though a sum
mer evening, what there is of it, is very fine for
a short stroll over the dewy* fields of the country,
or a oily* promenade in the regions of soda aud
ice cream, it can hardly be held of great value
for any other pursuit. Give us the good long
evenings of November —no matter how cold
and stormy —and if we can have a blazing fire,
a supply of choice books and papers, and the
company of friends and kindred spirits, we envy
no man’s happiness. Home, always prized, now
seems doubly dear, and all the cares and toils
of the day are amply rewarded by the joys of
the evening fire side*. Happy the man who has
a home at this season of the year; thrice happy
lie who lores it.
“ c Lft others seek for empty joys
At ball or concert, route or play ;
Whilst far from fashion’s idle noise,
Her gilded domes, and trappings gay,
I while the wintry eve away—
’Twist book and lute the hours divide;
And marvel how I e’er could stray
From thee—my own fireside.”
“ Young men, take care of your evenings.—
Learn to value vour leisure hours too highly to
squander them in the streets, or to waste them
all in the pursuit of mere amusements. They
may he worth to you more than gold or silver,
if properly improved.
** Now is the season to commence a course
of useful reading or study; and an hour or two
each evening, thus devoted to mental improve
ment, continued for a year to come, will effect
a result which-you now hardly anticipate. But
you say you are not a ‘genius’—you have no
uncommon talent. No matter for that. Ge
niuses are as scarce as the fabled pheenix—but
one visits the earth at a time: and as to extraor
dinary talent, there is not half so much of it in
the world as many imagine. If you have com
mon sense, that is enough; go ahead and in
crease your mental furniture and make your
self a well-informed man. Every young man
ought to aspire to this; and this is all we ask.”
Brothkr Jonathan.—The origin of this term
applied to the United States, is given in a re
cent number of the Norwich Courier. The
editor says it was communicated by an intelli
gent gentleman, now upwards of 80 years o“
age, who was an active participator in
of the Revolution. The story is as follows:
“ When General Washington, after being ap
pointed commander of the army of the revolu
tion, came to Massachusetts to organize it, and
make preparations for the defence of the coun
try. lie found a great destitution of ammunition
wild other means necessary to meet the power
ful foe he had to contend with, and great difficul
ty to obtain them. If attacked in such a con
dition* the cause at once might be hopeless.—
On one occasion, at that anxious period, a con
sultation of the oilicers and others was had,
when it seemed no way could be devised to
make such preparation as was necessary. His
excellency Jonathan Trumbull the elder, who
was then governor of the State of Connecticut,
on whose judgement and aid the general placed
the greatest reliance, remarked, we must con
sult • Brother Jonathan’ on the subject. The
general did so, and tin* governor was success
ful in supplying many -of the wants of the army.
When difficulties after arose, and the army was
spread over the country, it became a byword,
• v.e must consult Brother Jonathan.’ The
term Yankee is still applied to a portion, lint
* Brother Jonathan’ h.M now become a designa
tion of the whole country, as John Bull has for
England.
Dipi.om.vcv in A.nciknt Times.—The follow
ing is the introductory part of a letter from
Governor Breuton, of Rhode Island, to the
Executive of Connecticut, dated "Newport the
‘2oth Dec. 1662.” relating to the disputed boun
dary between the two colonies. W. £>. I*.
“ilon’ed Sir Mr. John Allen.
Your loving lines of the 7th November
last being now come to my hand, by which I
perceive mine to Mr. Willis is received and
was not displeasing to any of yourselves;—
Truly, sir, it is the earnest desire of my soul,
that we which arc of one nation, and do pro
fess one God, one Redeemer, and one Spirit by
w liicli all his redeemed ones in Christ, and shall
be. aii sanctified by that one Spirit by whom all
liia hath access to the Father; and although there
mav be various dispensations of God, to some
more, to others less, yet it is the desire of my
prayers that we might all agree as brethren of
on** Father, and so to seek each others peace,
in love; for to me it is grievous that I should be
at distance or difteitiuce with any of the saints,
especially about these low things which are but
for a moment of time. Sir, assure yourself,
and ! trust you shall not find me wanting to
use my best endeavors for to obtain peace and
friendship betwixt you and us ; if you find me
otherwise, reprove in** for it. and it shall he as
balm,” etc. The superscription is:

Cariosities. —We should not care particu
larlv about waking such a snake as the one from
which we receive*! a string of rattles yesterday.
They have tolerably- largo sized snakes in Tex
as. at least for a new country ; but the specimen
before us belonged to a different kind of a rep
ule from any one we have ever before seen or
even heard of. There are Jifty-tiro rattles oil
the string, showing, according to the generally
conceived opinion, that his snakeship must
have numbered that many years. It was killed
on the Bayou Dugdemona, near Monroe in
ibis Stare, and the rattles were sent us bv C. A.
Austin. Esq.
The same gentleman has also forwarded to
our address a pig. preserved in spirits, from
tiie same neighborhood, winch is certainly a
great curiosity. The head of the animal we
can liken to nothing save that of a monkey,
while it has a trunk resembling that of an ele
phant in many respocts, and out of which it is
said to have breathed as long as it lived. It is a
t)tu»« strange malformation certainly.— Pie.

DOUGHTY & BEALL,
Agents of Mr. R. Abbey.
As evidence of the superiority of the quality of the
cotton produced from this Seed, v. ■ app< n l the folio v
in r correspondence :
BOSTON PLANTATION, )
Near Yazoo City, Mi., Sept. 1, 1946. S
Dear Sir: The great attention awakened by the
in'reduction of the MASTODON COTTON into tin*
United Stale 3, together with my earnest desire that i'
in iv succeed in promoting tie* interests of the South,
mav be a sufficient excuse for this communication.
'i'he seed were procured (as I suppose) near the
northern extremity of tin* Gulf of California, where
there are extensive uninhabited region *, and where
Cot*on of vari'cis kinds is sometimes found growing
wild. Its transfer to Mississippi, therefore, (the same
latitude) keeps it still‘in its native climate.
That you may not be imposed upon in ilia purchase
of seed, it is prop-r for \">.i to know, that, with but
two ?tnlks growing in 1842, its cultivation in 1844,
had not extended beyond my plantation, except in a
single instance in my neighborhood. In 1813 it was
first raised by others. But its valuable properties not
then being generally known, it became much mixed
and crossed, in many instances, with other cotton;
and hence the vast quantities of mixed seed through
out the country. And besides this, extensive frauds
have been committed by the sale * f quite different
kinds of seed, as “ Mastodon.’* A large commission
house in New Orleans lias been extensively engaged
in this business and many parts of the country ha.vo
become ilnoded with spurious seed.
Should you wish to cultivate the Mastodon, you
would do well to get seed that is genuine, and it is
nearly equally important that it be neither mixed or
crossed with other cotton. 1 would also suggest the
greatest rare in keeping your seed pure. To prevent
it from degenerating, plant in small quantities of pick
ed seed occasionally, to use for seed.
1 have from the first taken the greatest possible
care of mv seed, and hive mv present crop growing
entirely from picked seed. I shall put up my seed crop
carefully for sale, with my nain-* <«u eachs-i-k. They
may hr hud in New Orleans of Buckner & Stanton
an 1 Hooper & Marve. in Mobile of Moulchin &
Tevell, and shall al.-o have agencies iu tb-* prinripal
plnc.-s in AlnkiiiKi, < awl Smith < tomlin.-t. I’m
secure mv seed it sh »ul i be e.-pecially inquired for.
Thv Mastodon should be cultivated precisely a:? oth
er cotton, except that i: -hould have a little more dis
tance. The seed are very large and white. To ob
tain a high price for the cotton it should lie bandied
and ginned well.
Bv taking the ‘’Southern Cultivator,” Augusta,
Ga.. $i per annum, you may learn more upon this
important subject. Almost an;, of the Southern news
paper* will !>• of value t»y»u in this respect. Allow
me also to say that rny brother Major M. E. Abbey,
of Columbus, Mis*., and Air. I). F. Miller, of La.,
have, 1 believe, taken great pains in preserving the
purity of their Mastodon coitou seed.
By noting these remarks and circulating them
among vour friends, you will promote the ihtere. l.s of
cotton grow, and oblige yours, respectfully,
—— IL ABBEY.

Houses in Europe, it will be seen that the well ginned
Mastodon Cotton was worth in Liverpool, at the time
the letter was written, from 16 to 20 cent? a pound.
The Colin.i ihr letter speaks of was ginned on the
common gins.
It is now settled beyond question, that an article
worth double the price of our common Cotton, may be
raised any wlucre in the < ’otton region, without any
addhional expense or labor.
In selecting seed, can* . Itould be taken to get that
which is pure, as much of it is mixed with other seed.
Mastodon reed are all large and white:
LIVERPOOL, Fept. 3, 1816.
Ix. Abbey. Esq.. Yazoo City. Mi.:
Sir- \Ve regret that in reply to your favor of August
sth, we can give little satisfactory information as to
the use:? of Mastodon Colton in our manufactories.
Even had a sufficient quantity gone into consump.ion,
which there has not, the manufacturers would careful
ly conceal the us, 3 to which they put it, ami its value
to them.
Os the quality and v due of the Co lon in our mar
ket, we can give a strong and decid 'd opinion. 3A e
ihink its length and strength and silk incss of stap!
place it next below Sea Island Colton, from which it
presents no marked point of difference, when n»4 in
jured by ginning. I'ltis is a most important point, be
cause saw ginned Sea Lland does not rank high in
this market, owing to the staple being cut.
The writer believe.; that he has seen every parcel of
Mastodon cotton in th * Lr.-*rpo »l market. For some,
101 is asked. We sold two bales, dull in color, at 9.1,
:in I a rather large sale was undo early in the reason
at 8* or 9d. Had ue 100 bales'of similar quality to
the small bale of Mr. W. H. Mercer, we should a k
101. and we have no doubt a sale might be made
readily at 9d. But you must, bear in mind that par
cels of a bale or two are dimcult to place, the buyer
milking rather ;• fivor of taking th-.-ua.
The prin ip d paints to attend to are, fir.-t, fineness,
length and comparative strength of staple, which must
no? be injured by over-ginning or working the gin ta>
fast which converts valuable cotton into a broken
iiinr-s •>;* fibre. , expensive to separate and involving the
loss of half the Cotton. to this, a fine pink
bio>:u is desirabb*, nut too much of the cream color,
and a d< _re * of odinere? in the quality of the cotton,
miking the raiupl * silky. These points attained, the
t’otton would only be infer »r to th? higher qualtfie:--

THE SUBSCRIBER will continue the

He can offer no better recommendations in favor oi

Tirelvc Hundred planters with them during the last
two years, while no other factory has probably sold in
the State as many as one hundred during the same
time. No expense will be spared to sustain
high reputation, and render them still more perfect it

G. T. OGLE3BY & BROTHER’S ANTI
FRICTION GINS.
Sparta* Georgia.
WE OFFER to the public the above article.
From fifteen years experience and labor in
making Cotton Gins, we are of opinion that there Is
little room left for improvement 011 the above article.
The materials are of the best quality, portions of the
work of every gin passing through our shop are done
by G. T. Oglesby. Our charges for the above article
are higher than any others charge for Cotton Gins.
Wo sell the finest article we make at three dollars per
saw; but if our price is different, our Gins are dif
ferent, and so is the price of cotton ginned on them.
Most of the planters have heretofore complained that
cotton buyers are so choice in th*; article, that they will
acknowledge none to be worth the highest quotations
now. It is not uncommon for sellers of cotton ginned
by our gins to obtain one quarter of a cent per pound
over tin* highest quotations, as various certificates
will show.
An impression lias gone abroad prejudicial to our
interest in one particular; it is believed by many, we
make no other articles than our Eriction Poller
Gins, and for which wt* charge three dollars. 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 line cotton. We are
determined to suit every class of purchasers. We
will sell a plain article as low as can be desired by
those who arc not content with price alone.
All orders addressed to us at Sparta, Ga., will be
immediately attcndeil to.
CERTIFICATES.
Augusta, April (Wi, 1846. — G. 7\ Oglesby, Esq.
—Dear Sirl 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 20th, 1916.—The undersigned,
Factors tnHfr-OwmHttfMwtt Max-chants, ?-»k«* pleasure in
stating that the best cotton they have received or seen,
during the present season, was from the plantation of
gentlemen residing in the county of Hancock, who
use gins manufactured by G. T. Oglesby, of said
-ounty. It has, in every instance, commanded the
highest market price, and very frequently a quarter to
hdf a cent above thejhighest quotations. We clieor
fully recommend them to our planting friends.
RABUN FULTON,
J. L. SWINNHY.
Mr. Oglesby — Sir: —1 have just finished ginning iny
crop of cotton, on one of your Friction Roller Gins, and
l take great pleasure in stating that it has performed
to my entire satisfaction. The cotton ginned on it
being freer from motes and trash, and the quality of
the staple less injured than that ginned on any other
gin I have ever used. I have not yet sold my crop of
potion, but 1 feel confident of obtaining the best market
crice for it. Yours respectfully,
April 7, 1846. RICHARD P. SAS NETT.
I have used one of Mr. Oglesby’s Friction Roller
Cotton Gins, and hesitate no: in saying that his gins
are superior to any gin.? that 1 have ever seen. Dur
ing the p:i. ? season my cotton has commanded the
highest market price, and in several instances has
obtained one-eighth of a rent more than the highest
Savannah quotations. His gins are superior to any 1
have ever seen, in taking on? trash and moles,
and will, in my judgment, make cotton, from the same
quality of seed cotton, that will command from one
ei dith to a quarter of a cent more than any other gins.
Sparta. April 7, 1346. THOS. M. TURNER.
1 do hereby certify that I bought one of Me ; rs. G.
T. Oglesby & Brother's Anti-Friction Gins iu 1341.
on which 1 have ginned about 175 bales of cotton, and
I do say that ! have been a cotton planter for upwards
of fifty years, and 1 have used many gins, but 5 have
no hesitation in saying that the Oglesby gin is decided
ly the best gin I have ever used, or that I ever saw
used. 1 always sell my cotton for the highest market
price in Augusta, and the merchants there give mv
cotton the prai ** of being a superior article. I have
ginned in six days fourteen bales, all in daylight, and
I consider the gin none the wore fo;* wear.
JOHN H. BROUGHTON.
Green County, Ga., April 12, 1846.
We have used and seen in operation forstveral years
past Mr. G. T. Oglesby’s Gins, and from some ex
perience in cotton ginning, are Well satisfied that they
are the best we have ever seen in use.

I certify that 1 have one of Mr. G. T. Oglesby’?
Gins, and that I consider it superior to any Gin that f

gins are known. I was induced to purchase one from
the character given to him by Coin mission Mer

.1 agusta, A aril n, 1946. — G. T. Oglesby, Eeq.—
Yours of the 30th u!t., inquiring whether we had re
ceived any cotton the past season ginned by your
“Improved Gin,” came direct to hand, and would
have been replied to earlier but for the prestj of business.
We have received but one crop this season, that we
know of, which we had sampled after the receipt ol
your letter, for the purpose of ascertaining its merit-,
and we congratulate you upon the decision of several
of our most experienced judges, who, after comparing
it with the best brands in the city, decided that it was
inferior to none.
We have since sold th** crop, and arc satisfied that
the ginning enhanced its value, from a quarter m
half of a emit p*-r pound.
W j would advise you to make 110 more improve
ments; your ' Improved Gin.,” is good enough, and
can’t fail to give the most general satisfaction.

Savannah, 2 0th Xorcmbtr, 1315. —Mr. Oglesby—
Dear Sir: Knowing that there were great improve
ment': going on in th** way of gin making. I have put
off buying a new one for a year past, for the purpose
of testing the gins of different maker* by samples of
their cotton. I have examined various samples of
cotton in this market, and fmd that your gins give
decidedly the best of any that I saw. I wish you to
make ni<* one of your be.>t friction roller gins of fifty
saws, and have it ready by the next crop.
Respectfully, W. R. BATTLE.
