CHRONICLE & SENTINEL.
POE TRY AND MISCELLANY.
From the Louisville Journal.
THE CONSUMPTIVE.
I knew her in her bulling beauty, while
The rose was briehiest on her lip, and o’er
The dimpled cheek played the sweet winning smile
Os girlhood. Blushingly she conned the lore
That treasures in the heart its richest store,
And hopefully she gazed upon each morn
In all its glories, straying by the shore,
To breathe the fragrance of the rosy dawn,
Trembling and pure as the young lily of the lawn.
Spring bloomed around her, and the forest bird
Thrilled not its notes with a more thrilling glee
As melfingly each sweetly warbled word
Pell on the soul with touching melody.
By pebbled stream or on the verdant sea
The flower sprang up to meet that soft white hand
Or nestle in that bosom. Throbbingly
Its leaflets open as high hopes expand
Into the loveliest rose of that most sunny land.
A change came o’er her with the summer’s sheen,
The rose was not less lovely ; but the gay
And gorgeous drapery of the spring time green
Had faded : and the spirit’s buoyant play,
Its mirth and joy oneness had passed away,
Still in life’s chalice of’t times sparkled yet
Rich, racy humor with more brilliant ray
Than ever beamed before : as fond regret
Clung to the paling form ere youth’s bright sun was set.
Ah me ! it is a sad and weary thing,
To see the hectic’s false and fitful glow
Trace its warm hues upon the che k, and bring
A ho|*e unto the mourner, trusting so
To each loved color of the varying bow —
To watch the breath and catch the stifled sigh,
Living upon each promise, that may throw
Its mantle o’er him as it passeth by,
Ere the fond spirit fits to purer realms on high.
And friends are near: and one, who trembling bent
Weeping above her in the hour of pain;
Unto whose being loving thoughts had blent
Her once elastic form, listing again
The whispered music of that minstrel strain,
That whilom in her voice’s magic roll
Like the low vespers o’er the stormless main,
With an untold enchantment softly stole
Into the heart to win the still adoring soul.
And once again spring spreads its glorious green
O’er the fair face of earth ; its o; ening flowers
Beamed on the landscape, and the woodland scene
Looks sparkling up amidst the April showers,
And birds sing jocund from their wildwuod towers.
But not for her the roses bloom ; the earth
No more is gay, nor song’s ennobling powers
Awake the angel of such matchless worth,
Clothed in the radiant garb of an iinmonal birth.
“Ths bowl is broken!” brok n to the heart,
Whose chords to love’s sweet melodies were strung :
Forever thus the holiest hopes depart,
And leave the soul with dark'ning sorrows wrung.
He had drank deep of rapture : he had sung
The songs of gladness ; n »w all bliss was o’er,
And on tile’s turbid stream he wildly flung
Himself to be borne onward ; never more
The soul could taste of joy on Time’s wide-wrecking
shore.

L'Envoi>
Thour’t lingering ’mid the green old woods
Beside the sinking streams,
Where Nature from her solitudes
Is mingling with thy dreams —
Is talking to thee in each note
Os wild wood music that may float
Upon the passing air—
And felling tales of other days
As sweet as childhood’s sinless Jays
As free from pain and care —
And bringing round thy path once more
The friendships, loves, and hopes of yore.
Thnn’rt gone to woo the roses back
Upon thy fading cheek,
From many a streamlet’s winding- track,
From many a mountain’s peak
To lure the angel Health again,
Amid the fragrance of the plain,
Sj full of springing flowers—
Whose very breath enn warm the blood
With the same wild and thrilling flood,
As in those early hours—-
When life’s pure sun rose bright and clear,
Without a shading cloud or tear.
All round thee Mthe deep blue sky—
Above, the forest trees —
Within whose whispering branches lie
A thousand melodies—
Beside thee sleejk* full many a dell,
Within the mazes of whose cell
The sunbeams* never come—
There may’s! thou sit where all is still,
And pleasure’s voice has ceased to thrill,
And dream perhaps of home —
And think how sad those lone ones am.
Who gather ’nonth tlte evening star.
Thy place is vacant at the hearth,
When kindred ones are there,
They iii'hk the sunlightuf thy mirth.
As music from the air.
The morning brings no smiles from thee,
Save those that live in memory,
Peep in its treasured store*.
Amid thonojewels that the heart
Guards with a more than miser’s art,
And tells and tells them ofer —
Fearful lest one should missing be,
From out that hoarded treasury.
And night amid its holiest Imhifh,
h many that are thine;
Wk ueinory in profusion showers
Hri tributes on thy shrine—
Those calm anti stilly hours when best
The heart lies by its wild unreal
And thinks of other times,
When thou the absent one wert here,
Whose voice came sweetly on the ear,
As old remembered rhymes.
To banish each dark fear away,
With glimpses t»f a happier day.
God's blessings on thy wanderings,
Where’er thou uiay’et be!
May ea«-h breeze bear upon its wings
Returning health to thee.
May gladneea, stilly as the light
That falls upon it summer night—
And Hope with cheering beam-
Be round thee still to guide and*cheer,
And make each fleeting day appear
Like some bright happy drewm-
Still beckoning thee where’er thou ronin,
Back to the heart thou*st left at Home. I>. E.

French Weight* and Measures.
The direct communication between Fraacv
and the United States, by means of the New
Y'ork and Havre line of steamships, will lieim
us more in contact with French terms amt
technicalities of business and trade. The fol
lowing table and observations, therefore, •t* the
English value of weights and measure* most in
use will be useful to those who are not acquaint
ed with the French language. It will be seen
that the federal values of the French coins art
approximations—but they are so neai the truth
as to answer all ordinary purposes.
The foundation ol all he French measures,
whether <»l lines, surfaces, solid*, or the con
tents <d* vessels, (generally called measures ol
capacity) i* a quadrant of the earth's meridian
circumference. This is presumed to be con
slant in the same hemisphere, and for thesam*
longitude ; and the quadrant which they use i
lliat passing from the equator through Paris to
the north pole. This, according to the tnosi
accurate admeasurements and calculations, i*
estimated at 5.130.740 old French toises of <»
French feet each. The lO.OtWkUOOih part ot
this is a metre ; and one metre is equal to 3 feel
and 11 296-1000 lines, nr 3 feet 1 inch of the old
measure very nearly.
The metre, the square metre, and the cubic
metre, are the radical standards of the three
measures ; for there are only three, as solidity
and capacity, though ditierently named and
used, are the same in reality.
The radical denomination* are not always the
square and cube of the metre, because the first
would be too small a measure for land, and the
second too large for the greater number of sub
stances estimated by quantity. The fullowing
are the denominations;
Lineal measure.— The metre, which mean
** measure'' and is in round numbers about
89 9-25 English inches.
Surface. — The u re. which means “ surface”
or *• area.” and is the square of 10 metres, or
100 square metres.
Capacity.— The litre, which means a “mea
sured quantity,” and is the cube of one tenth of
a metre, or the 1000 part of a cubic metre. In
English Measure it is nearly a cube of four
inches, and very nearly sixty-one cubic incite*.
Solid.— The sfrrs. .vluch mean* a * solid.” and
is the cube of a metre, or nearly 35. J cubic feet.
From the*e radical denominations the larger
ones are procured by multiplying by It. and
the lower ones by dividing by the same. Thu*
Deca. prefixed means 10 times.
Htcto. •• •• 100 tunes.
Hilo, “ “ 1000 tunes.
My ria. “ •• 10000 tunes.
These prexes. which are a sort of barbarous
Greek for the numbers, are prefixed to the ra
dical names, metre, are. litre and stere: and
the number is understood to multiply the sur
face of the solid, and not its side ; thus one de
care is 10 ares, and not a square of ten tunes
the side of an are, so ol'the others.
The denominations below the radical ones
are expressed bv a sort of Latin prefixes: Thus
Decri* one tenth.
Cralt is one hundredth.
Mtlli is oni* thousandth.
In the same mode of estimating, time was ar
ranged mto tenth*, and hundredths*. 1 day (24
hours)—lo hours : 1 hour—Uh) minutes : and
] minute—UK) seconds. The circular, or an
nular measure*. were also arranged in hun
dredth*—llk) degrees m a whole circumference:
KM) in a quadrant: l(M) minutes in one degree,
and Uh) seconds in a minute. These measures
hate, however, been abandoned, or. at al!
events, they are far from being convenient, as
none of the more useful angular dmsions are
tenth*.

remain the most in use.

Commencement of the Constitutional Go
vernment of the United States--Wash
ington** Resilience in New York.
On the 30lh of April, 1789. the Constitution
al Government of the United States began, by
the inauguration of George Washington a*
President of Ute United States, in the city of N.
York.
In the then limited extent and improvement
of the city, there was some dilhculty in select
ing a mansion for the residence of the Chief-
Magistrate and a household.suitable to his rank
and station. Osgood’s house, a mansion of
very moderate extent, was at length fixed up
on. situated in Cherry street. There the Pres
ident became domiciled. His domestic fami
ly consisted of Mrs. Washington, the two adop
ted children. Mr Lear as principal secretary.
Col. Humphreys.with Messr.*. Lewis and Nel
*on. secretaries, and Major Win. Jackson, aid
de-camp.
Person* visiting the house in Cherry street
at this time of day will wonder how a building
so small could contain the many and mighty
spirits that thronged its halls in olden days.—
Congress, Cabinet, all public functionaries in
the commencement of the Government, were
*elected from the very elite of the nation. Pure
patriotism, commanding talent, eminent ser
vice*, were the proud and indispensible requi
sites for official station in the first days of the Re
public. The first Congress was a most en
lightened and dignified body. In the Senate
were several ofthe members of the Congress ol
177(» and signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence — Richard Henry Lee, who moved
the Declaration. John .Adams, who seconded
it, with Sherman, Morris, Carroll. *Ac.
The levees of the first President were at
tended by these illustrious patriots and stat s
uien, and soldiers, who could say of the Revo
lution. “ magua pars fui while number
of foreigners and strangers of distinction crow
ded to the *eat of the General Government, all
mxioiis to witness the grand experiment that
was to determine how much rational liberty
mankind is capable of enjoying, without said
liberty degenerating into licentiousness.
Mrs. Washington's drawing-rooms, on Fri
lay nights, were attended by the grace and
ueauty of .Xew Y'ork. On one of these occa
-ion* an incident occurred which might have
been attended by serious consequences. Ow
mg to the lowness of the ceiling in the drawing
room the ostrich feather* in the head dress of
VI rs. Mclver, a belle of New York, took fire from
die chandelier, to the no small alarm of th«-
company. Major Jackson, aid-de-camp to the
President, with great presence of mind, and
equal gallantry, flew to the rescue ofthe lady,
md.by clapping the burning plumes between
ms hands extinguished the Hames, and the
I raw mg room went on as usual.
Washington preserved the habit, as well in
public a* in private life, of rising at four o’-
lock and retiring to bed at nine. On Satur
days he rested somewhat from his labors, by
either ruling mtn the country, attended by a
groom, or with his fatni.’y in his coach drawn by
*ix horse*.
Fond ot horses, the Stables of the President
were always m tlte finest order, and his equip
tge excellent, both in taste and quality. In
deed, so long ago as the days of the vice regal
court ot Lord Botetourt at Williamsburg, in
Virginia, we find that there existed a rivalry
between the equipage* of Col. By d. a mag
nate of the old regime, and Col. Washington
the grays against the bays. Bishop, the cele
orated body servant of Braddock, was the mas
ter of Washington’s stables. And there wen
vhat was termed muslin horses in those old
fays. Al cock-crow the stable boys were a
•vorx ; at sunrise Bishop stalked into the sta
bles. a muslin handkerchief in his hand, which
he applied to the coate ofthe animals, and. it
the slightest stain wa* perceptible upon the
mislin. up went the luckless wights of the sta
ble boys, and punishment was administered
instanter: for to the veteran Bishop, bred amid
the iron discipline of European armies, merev
for any thing like a breach of duty was alto
gether out of the question.
'l’he President's stables in Philadelphia were
under the direction of German John, and the
grooming ofthe white chargers will rather sur
prise the moderns. The night before the horse*
were expected to be rode, they were covered
entirely over with a paste of which whiting was
the principal component part; then the ani
mals were swathed in body clothes, and left to
sleep upon clean straw. In the morning the
composition had become hard, was well rub
bed in. and c «rned ami brushed, which pro
cess gave to the coats a beauti ul. and satin-like
appearance. The hoofs were then blacked
and polished, the month* washed, teeth picked
and cleaned; and the leopard-skin housings be
ing properly adjusted, the white chargers were
led out for service. Such was the grooming of
ancient times.
There wa* but one theatre in New York in
1789. (in John street.) and so small were its di
mensions that the whole fabric might easily be
placed on the stage of one of our modern
theatres. Yet. humble as was the edifice, it
possessed an excellent company of actors and
actresses, including old Morri*, who was the
associate of Garrick in the very outside of that
great actor's career nt Goodmaiisfieids. The
stage boxes were appropriated to the President
and \ ice-President, and were each of them
decorated with emblems, trophies. «&c. At the
foot oI the play-biils were always the words
i irat Respubiica." Washington often visited
this theatre, being particularly gratified bv Wig
rieU’s performance of Darhu in the Poor Sol
dier.
It was in the theatre in John street, that the
now national air of Had Columbia " then
called the President * March, wa* first plaved.
It was composed by a German musician, nam
ed I vies, the leader ot the orchestra, in com
pliment to the President. The national air
will la*t as lung as the nation lasts while the
meritorious composer ha* been long since for
gotten.
It was while residing in Cherry street that
the President was attacked with a severe ill
ness. that required a surgical operation. He
was attended by the elder and younger Doc
tors Bard. The elder, being somewhat doubt
ful of his nerves, gave the knife to his son. tell
ing him to cut away—deeper, deeper still;
don't be afraid; you see how well he bears it.
Great anxietv was felt m New York at this
lime, as the Present's case was considered ex
tremely dangenvus. Happily, the operation
proved suceeWul. and me patient’s recovery
removed aU cause of alarm. During his illness
a chain was stretched acroM the street, and the
sidew aiks laid wnh straw Soon alter his re-
covery, the President set out on his intended
tour through ’.he New England States.
The President’s mansion was so limited in
accommodation that three of the Secretaries
were compelled to occupy one room Hum
phreys, Lewis, and Nelson. ai
de-camp to the commander-in-chief at ’ °7 C "
town was a most estimable man. and at the
same time a poet. About this period he was
composing bis “ Widow of Malabar. Lewis
and Nelson, both young men, were content,
after the labors ofthe day, to enjoy a good
night’s repose. But this was often denied
them; for Humphreys, when in the vein, would
rise from his bed at any hour, and. with stento
rian voice, recite his verses. The young men,
roused from their slumbers, and rubbing their
eyes, beheld a great burly figure “ en chemise f
striding across the floor, reciting with great em
phasis particular passages from Ins poem, and
calling on his room mates for their approba
tion. Having in this way for a considerable
time “ murdered the sleep” of his associates,
Humphreys at length, wearied by his exertions,
would sink upon his pi’low in a kind of dreamy
languor. So sadly were the young secretaries
annoy ed by the frequent outbursts of the poet’s
imagination, that it was remarked of them by
their friends that, from 1789 to the end of their
lives, neither Robert Lewis nor Thomas Nelson
were ever known to evince the slightest taste
for poetry.
The mansion in Cherry street proving so ve
ry inconvenient, induced the French Ambassa
dor to give up his establishment —McComb’s
new house in Broadway—for the accommoda
tion of the President. It was from this house
in 1790 that Washington took bis final depar
ture from New Y'ork. Ii was always his habit
to endeavor, as much as possible, to avoid the
manifestations of affection and gratitude that
met him every where. He strove in vain: he
was closely watched, and the people would
have their way. He wished to have slipped
off unobserved from New Y'ork, and thus steal
a march upon his old companions in arms.
But there were too many of the dear glorious
old veterans of the Revolution at that time of
day in and near New York to render such an
escape even possible.
The baggage had all been packed up; the
horses, carriages, and servants ordered to be
over the Ferry to Paulus Hook by da\break,
and nothing was wanting for departure but the
dawn The lights were yet burning, when the
President came into the room where his family
were assembled, evidently much pleased in the
belief that all was right, when, immediately un
der the windows, the band of the artillery
-truck up Washington’s March, “There,” he
exclaimed, “it’s all over; we are found out.
Well, well; they must have their own way.”
New Y'ork soon after appeared as if taken by
storm; troopsand persons of all description*
hurrying down Broadway toward the place of
embarkation, all anxious to take a last look on
him whom so many could never expect to see
again.
The embarkation was delayed until all the
complimentary arrangements were completed.
I'he President, after taking leave of many dear
and cherished friends, and many old compa
nions in arms, stepped into the barge that was to
convey him from New York forever. The cox
swain gave the word “ let fall” ; the spray from
the oars sparkled in the morning sunbeams;
the bowman shoved off from the pier, and as
die barge swung round to the tide. Washington
rose, uncovered, in the stern, to bid adieu to
the masses assembled on the shore, he waved
his hat. and in a voice tremulous from emotion,
pronounced, farewell. It may be supposed
dint Maj. Bauman, who commanded the artille
ry on this interesting occasion, who was first
Uaptain of Lamb's regiment, and a favorite
officer of the war of the revolution, would,
when about to pay his last respects to bis be
loved commander, load hi.* pieces with some
thing more than mere blank cartridges. But
ah the thunders of the cannon were com
pletely bushed when the mighty shout of the
people arose that responded to the farewell of
Washington. Pure from the heart it came;
right up to Heaven it went, to call down a bless
ing upon the Father of hi* country
The barge had scarcely gained the middle of
the Hudson when the trumpets were heard ai
Paulus Hook, where the Governor and the
chivalry of Jersey were in waiting to welcome
the chief to those well-remembered shores. Es
corts of cavalry relieved each other throughout
the whole route, up to the Pennsylvania line;
every village, and even hamlet, turned out its
population to greet with cordial welcome the
man upon whom all eyes were fixed, and in
whom all hearts rejoiced.
What must have been the recollections that
crowded on the mind of Washington during
this triumphtint progress? Newark Bruns
wick, Princeton, Trenton! What a contrast
between the glorious burst of sunshine that
now illumined and made glad every thing
around these memorable spot*, with the gloomy
and desolate remembrance* of 76 ! Then hi*
country's champion, with the wreck of a shat
tered host, he was flying before a victorious and
well-appointed foe. while all around him was
shrouded in the darkness of despair; now. in
Ins glorious progress over ibe self-same route,
his firm footstep presses upon the soil ofan in
fant empire, reposing in the joy.* of peace, in
dependence and happiness.
Among the many who swelled his triumph,
lie most endeared to the heart of the chief were
the old associates of tiis toils, his fortunes, and
his fame. Many ofthe Revolutionary veterans
were liv itig in 1790. and. by their presence gave
a dignified tone and character to all public as
semblages; and, when you saw a peculiarly
tine looking soldier in those old days, and would
a*k, “ to what corps ofthe American army did
von belong Drawing himself up to his full
height, with a martial air. and back ofthe hand
thrown up to hi* forehead, the veteran would
reply. “ Life Guard, your honor.”
Anil proud and happy were these veterans in
igam beholding their own good Lady Washing
ton. Greatly was she beloved in the army.
Her many intercessions with the chief for the
pardon of offenders ; her kindness io the sick
nid wounded : all of which caused her annual
iirival in camp to be hailed as an event that
would serve to dissipate the gloom of the win
ter quarters.
Arrived at the line, the Jersey escort was re
lieved by the cavalry of Pennsvlvania. and.
when near to Philadelphia, the President was
met by Governor Mifflin and a brilliant cortege
of officers, ari l escorted by a squadron of horse
to the city. Conspicuous among the Gover
nor's suite. as well for his martial bearing as for
he manly beamy of his person, was General
•Valter Stewart, a son of Erm. and a gallant
nid distinguished officer of the Pennsylvania
hue. To Stewart, as to Cadwallader, Wash
ington was most warmly attached, indeed, those
officers were among the very choicest of the
contributions of Pennsylvania to ibe armv and

TjT The first effect of a bilious citina e upon
the human system is to produce torpor and inactivity
of the Liver: thereby preventing the natural and
free discharge of bile. All know the lurking nature
of the poison that produces Fever and Ague, and its
kindred diseases. A sallow complexion, capricious
appetite and occasional pains in the side, are often the
only svinptcsus to warn of impending danger. The
operation of Dr. Osgood** India Cholagogue is to
counteract this miastnal influence, by producing ac
tivity of th»* biliary organs, and a healthy, natural
discharge of bile trom the system.

I am pained to hearot* y Mir continued indisposition
and inability to pursu • your ministerial labors. ou
a>k ;i 1 ha»e ever been thus ur similarly afflicted ? I
answer. yes. la the autumn ol 1542 I contracted a
severe coldjahile nding in, circuit, which res died in
affection of rhe lungs, accompanied by a violent
cough, which was so much irr'tated in speaking that
hw nearly two months I was unable to preach a single
sermon, and 1 began to have fears that 1 should never
be able to again resume mv labors. About t e hrs:
ot November I was at Rr Caldwell’s, m Hartkwd.
and he gave me a box of Hull's Cough Lozenges, re
□mmeod ag them as a medicine well adapie I to the
cure of tuv ease. As an expenmeat 1 began using
theta, and soa found myself improving—and after
war weeks continued use- of them, 1 was able u> g<
upon my circuit. Since then I have invariably tirade
use of the Lozenges in all cases of cold or hoarseness,
and always with complete success. I don’t know
that they would cure you, but as mine was a similar
case I think them worthy of a trial, and hoping they
may prove instrumental in restoring you to health
and usefulness, I remain yours in Christian fellow
ship. J. W. Smith.
Warehouse Point. Ct., Feb. 11, 1847. —Dr. Hull,
Dear Sir: By the advice of Br. Smith I commenced
using your Lozenges, and though not yet well, I am
much better, and fast improving under their influ
ence, and have full belief that I shall ultimately be
able to resume my suspended labors, sound and well.
You have Br. Smith’s and my own consent to make
such use of this communication as you may deem
proper. Yours, respectfully, Wm. P. Earle.

Single statement like the following,
ought to be a sufficient inducement to any one suffer
ing with diseased lungs to make a trial of Wistar’s
Balsam, and test its virtues in their own case :
Florence, Oneida co., N. Y., May, 1846.—Mr.
S. W. Fowle, Dear Sir —I take pleasure in stating to
you my experience in the use of Wistar’s Balsam of
Wild Cherry.
Sometime in February, 1945,1 was attacked with
a difficulty of the lungs, which brought me in ap
pearance to the brink of the grave. I consulted
those who were called skillful physicians, who pro
nounce Imy case incurable. My friends at night did
not expect to find me alive in the morning. I «was
induced, as a last resort, to try Wistar’s Balsam, and
after taking the first bottle, 1 felt great relief. I con
tinued to use it, and after taking four bottles 1 con
sidered myself cured, and for the last year I have
had no occasion to use any medicine for the lungs and
believe myself entirely well. Signed,

TO THE COTTON PLANTERS OF

THE SUBSCRIBER continues to manufac
ture his
SUPERIOR COTTON GINS,
at his factory in Morgan county. The experience of
two years pa>t has proven his gins to be superior to
any others made in the State—Cotton ginned upon
them bringing the highest price in all the principal
markets. I use none but the very best of materials,
and the workmanship is done in superior style, and
they are warranted to perform well in all iespects.
My Gins will be delivered at the purchaser’s resi
dence. free of charge for transportation. Contracts
may be made for my gins with Messrs. Adams &
Hopkins, M. P. Stovall, and Bustin and Walker,
Augusta, or with Walker & Pierson, Hamburg, S. C.,
where also the Gins can be seen.
Repairing done in the best manner and at short
notice.
All letters addressed tome at Madison, will meet
with prompt attention. JOSEPH WINSHIP.

1 hereby certify that I purchased last year, a cot
ton gin from Messrs. Winship & Johnson, and ginned
my last crop of cotton with it, and will say, that it is
the best Gin 1 have ever used, and I have never seen
a better one. I sold my crop of cotton in Madison,
for an eighth of a cent over the top of the market. ly
would prefer it to any Carver Gin.
CHARLES P. SHOEMAKER.

I certify that I have purchased a Cotton Gin from
Messrs. Winship, King & Johnson, and have given it
a fair trial, and I have no hesitation in saying that it
is the best Gin 1 have ever used, or seen. I have
seen several of the Carver Gins, but would give this
Gin the decided preference over them.

IMPROVED COTTON GINS.
'jUIE SUBSCRIBER will continue the
j MANUFACTURE OF GINS on hi® usual
extensive scale, and embraces this opper inity to
thank'his numerous customers for their liberal patron
age heretofore.
The estimation in which his gins are held may be
known from the fact of his having sold
MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND,
d uring the last three years, probably ten to one over
any other Factory in the State. This evidence of the
superiority of his Gins is accounted for by his being
the first to introduce the late improvements, and keep
ing the lead, by yearly p ’ding new ones. His first
and second improvements made the quality of cotton
perfect, though some were rather slow His third
made them sufficiently fast; it then only remained to
make them more durable and convenient, which has
been done he believes effectually, by several new im
provements the present year.
Besides, he has the exclusive right for the State, and
the privilege for other sections, to furnish
REED’S PATENT WATER-BOXES,
which are believed to be ten times more durable than
any other, by those who have made a fair trial of them,
and are infdlibly secure against fire by friction. His
line Gins will gin Mastodon Cotton as well as any
other saw Gin can.
His agents will visit planters generally, and exhibit
specimens of his last improvements, and point out their
advantages in time for all to engage and be supplied
before next ginning season; or engagements can be
made by letter, directed to him, CLINTON, JONES
COUNTY, GEORGIA.
Gins will be delivered at the purchaser’s residence
in any part of the State except the Cherokee Coun
ties, where they will be left at the Rail Road Depot
most convenient to the purchaser. All warranted to
perform we? t if used according to the printed direc
tions sent, with each.

COTTON GINS!
IMPROVED ON WHAT WAS BEFORE
CONSIDERED PERFECT.
11l AV E heretofore labored that my cotton gins
should be thought superior to any manufactured in
Georgia. By offering to the public such an article I
have been liberally patronized, for which 1 feel grate
ful. 1 have warranted all my fine gins. I have never
had one returned as not coining up to what 1 promised,
it is known I have, and do promise that my gins make
superior cotton. 1 have no travelling agents. I rely
on my gins telling a better tale for me, and one that
will be sooner believed than a travelling agent; in
short, I hope to make my gins sell themselves. 1 feel
confident in slating that 1 have made valuable im
provements in my fine gins, and that. I shall hereafter
furnish an improved gin to anything heretofore sold.
I would also inform citizens of Warren, Washington,
Wilkes, Columbia and Burke counties, that 1 have
purchased Simpson’s improvement for band machin
cry, and those who purchase my gins in the counties
named will have the use of the patent free; the ma
terial, when desired, will be put on the head block,
free of charge. It will require a small outlay of ma
terial on the band wheel, which will be furnished at
the lowest possible rate, and which, when used, re
duces the draft to an astonishing extent; the character
of the improvement is simply by propelling the ma
chinery by a slack band, instead of a tight one. My
finest Friction Roller Gins are sold at $3 per saw.
My plain gins are also greatly improved, and will
be sold according to kind, from $2 to 82.50 per
saw. My finest ginshave heretofore sold higher than
other gins, ami yet, heretofore, 1 have not been able to
supply the demand, whilst 1 have been unable to sell
but few plain gins.
Ordersor letters, addressed to me at Sparta, will be
promptly attended to, and gins delivered at purchasers’
residences free of charge
