THE WIND BY LORD ROBERTSON.
The wind I lore : demand’st thou why 1
’Tis the first torn of liberty :
Among its wanderings ever free,
Still changeless ’mid inconstancy.
The takes and rivers ice may bind —
Naught e’er shall stay the buxom wind;
Wh**n thunder’s pent within the cloud,
The lawless breeze is piping loud;
The rocks restrain the raging sea,
The stars revolve in harmony,
The rolling tides the moon obey :
The wind sings ceaseless roundelay.
In spring it whisJeth in the brake,
Stirreth the reeds that gird the lake:
Holdeth soft dalliance ’monj the Howers
That blossom in the summer hours;
In autumn roareth with the flood,
With sere leaf sponeth in the wood :
Holdeth resistless mastery.
Up with the lark before the mom,
On noonday wing how gently borne!
Closeth the evening with delight,
Or maketh moan the livelong night,
Greeteth the aspen in the calm,
On honey’d blossom breathing balm.
♦ ♦ • « ♦
It resteth not, it will not stay,
The wind hath ever holiday:
Summer, Winter, Autumn, Spring,
One universal carolling.
Hope welcometh the morning breeze;
Love courts its whisper ’mongthe trees;
Fond M usic hails its advent near;
From the rude blast, Io! shrinketh Fear:
What master ere so kind, so wild.
As Nature’s free, her wayward child?
’Tis thus I love the Wind, for I
A lover am of liberty.

To My Mother in Heaven.
I’m sitting in the door, n other,
W here I have sat so oft,
And listened to thy words which fell
In music low and soft;
Those tones in fancy linger yet
Without the aid of art,
For oh ’ they’re set to memory’s
Sweet music of the heart.
I gaze upon the scenes, mother,
That thou did’st ever love,
The bright green earth spread out beneath
The deep blue sky above ;
The scene on earth’s the same, and here
Thy dowers are blooming fair,
But. as I upward turn my gaze,
I feel that thou art there.
I look upon thy face, mother,
Which art so well hath drawn,
The glowing canvass seems to speak
And say thou art not gone ;
Thy gentle face is well defined,
This picture’s very fair,
But, gazing in my heart, I see
A better one is there.
I’m often at thy grave, mother,
Where hands belov’d h »ve dressed
The lowly mound which shrouds thy clay
With flowers you loved tho best—
The wild-rose, myrtle, eglantine—
How bright and fresh they are,
And as 1 see them sweetly twins
It seems that thou art there.
There ’s sadness in the place, mother.
Which was thy home on earth,
And broken s the little band
That gathered round thy hearth,
Yet all unbroken is the love
Winch knew a mother’s care,
And, when we look to Heaven above,
We hope to meet thee there Mart,

MOURN NOT FOR THE PAST.
Mourn not for the past that has left us,
Though bright were the days that are fled ;
Though lime has of pleasures bereft us,
And our hearts most sadly haw bled.
The joy’s of our childhood they’ve vanished—
The hopes of our youth they have fled;
Some dear ones are far from us banished,
And some sleep tho sleep of the dead.
Ixive’s sunshine has deepened to shading;
His brightness at noontide is o'er ;
All his songs into shadows are fading,
And ne’er can enrapture us mure.
Sigh not for the past, for the present
H.-.s duties for ua to (tertorm ;
If the Sun in our hearts be but pleasant.
We never need fear from tho storm.
Let duly he watchword and motto,
Let ailiun be prompt to the hour;
Discontent will flee to her grotto,
And evils can ne’er over|>ow»r.
If conscience but sanctions our doing,
II hope lends her ray tor our guide.
Dark care with his troublesome brewings
Will retreat like the fast ebbing tide.
Though affliction may darken our pathway,
Heart friends be cold in the grave,
Yet taith still is given—an earth ray,
And t todhood is mighty to save.
Then i r weep tnr the past, though its treasures
W« r< bright as the richest of gems;
The present still linn its pleasures,
A ml contentment adds brightness to them.

of Cnbivres, page of Louis XV . and ecuyvi
of Louis \\l. and Louis Will. He was
born in I <BB. Al the imprisonment of his
family, he, of course went with them. His
age alone saved him from death. He was
adopted, after some days of misery, by a family
named Jordan, and a solid as well as brilliant
education given him. He entered first the
military school of Cyr. afterwards that of Fon
tainebleau, was made sub-lieutenant and join

at that period) perceived him. flew to his aid.

ot her lite, and concealing him under some
bushes, returned afterwards to the midst of the
carnage to snatch other victims from the ene

Marie Per, “ca mime re” of the 51st Regiment.
Having been made lieutenant, the young
Uutueres fought at Cxaritowe, and in IHI7 at
the passage ol the Allo. Having received a
bayonet wound at Evian be was made a pri
soner tor a moment, then obtained his liberty,
fought in the ranks of the 51 at, and escaped
imiaculously the deadly fire that alm>ot entire

afterw.>ids at Friedland and Tilsit, and was
made Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. As
aid-de-camp ol General Morund he passed a
short time at Warsaw. where lie gained the
friendship of Pomatowski and other distinguish
ed Poles Having distinguished himself at
Eckmuhl, and Katisbonne, he was made cap
tain at agram. In the disastrous campaign
of Russia, lie suffered cold and hunger with
the rest, fought at Oserowne and Smolensk at
which latter place he took a battery by assault,
and afterwards, being stationed in a salt maga

He fought also at Poiosk, Viaxna, and at the

From the Boston Times.
He Wanted to see the Animal.
The publishers ofa well kno.vn periodical
in town, have placed in front of their office, in
Tremont street, a very extensive sign board,
upon winch is emblazoned the words :
“ LIT TELL’S LIVING AGE.”
A green horn, fresh caught—who came to I
the city to look at the “glorious Fourth" —
chanced to be passing towards the Common,
when his attention was arrested by the above
cabalistic syllables. Upon one side of Broom
field-street he saw the big sign, upon the other
lhe word “Museum.”
“ Wai,” said he to himself, “I’ve hern tel o’
them museums, but a hirin' age, 1 big or little,
must be one o’ them are curiosities waread a
baout.
He stepped quietly across the street, and
wiping his face, approached one of the win
dows, in which were displayed several loose
-copies of the work. He read upon the co
vers, “Littell’s Living Age,” and upon a card,
“ Fopn ar Magazine—only one of lhe kind in
the country,” etc.
“ Magazine ! Wall, that beat’s thunder all
ten smash ! I’ve heern abaout paouder mag
azines, an* all that; —wal, ( reck’n I’ll see the
crittur, enny how !”—and thus determined, he
cautiously approached the door. A young
man stood in the entrance.
“ When does it open, !” asked the country
man.
“What, sir?”
“What time does it begin?”
“ IFAat?”
“The show ?”
“What show?”
“Wy. that are— this”— continued our inno
cent friend, pointing up to the sign.
The young man evidently supposed the
stranger insane—and turning on his heel, walk
ed into the office.
“Wai, I dun no ’baout that feller, much—
but 1 reck’n 1 havn’t cum a hundred miles to
be fooled—/ ain’t, and I’m going leu see the
crittur. sure.”
"Hello ! Isay, Mr. Wat’s name, there—
doorkeeper! llel-*o!”
A clerk stepped to the door at once, and en
quired lhe man’s business.
“Wot do I want ? Wy, I want to see the
animal, that’s all.”
“ What animal ?”
“Wy. this crittur ”
“I don’t understand you sir.”
“Wai—you don’t Ink as es you could under
state’ nobody, enny how. Jessend the door
keeper yere.”
“By this time a crowd had collected in and
about the doorway, and the green ’un let off
something like the following :
“That chap as went in fust, thar, ain’t no
buddy. es he lias got a swaller-tailed coat on.—
My money’s as good as his’n, and its a free
country, to-day. This young man ain’t to be
fooled easy, now I tell you. I cum down to
seethe Fourth, and I’ve seen him. Thismorn
in’l see the elephant, and naow I'm bound to
see thiscriltur. liel-Zo—there, mister!”
As no one replied to him. however, he ven
tured again into the office, with the crowd at his
heels, and addressing one of the attendants, he
inquired—
“Wol’s the price, nabnr ?”
“The price of what, Sir f”
“Os lhe show ?”
“ There is no show here”—
“No show ! What’n thunder der yer leave
the sign out for, then ?”
“ What should you like to see, sir?” said an
other gentlemen.
“ The animal
“ I really do not understand sir. ’
“VV hy yes you dew. I mean the wot's name

“ Where ?”
“ Havn’t yer got a sign over the door, of a

“ Littcll's Firing Age F*
That's the crittur—them’s tun —trot him
aout, nabnr. and yere’s ytire putty.”
H iving discovered that lie was right (as he
supposed.) he hopped about, and got near the
door, again.
Pending the conversation, some rascally wag
in the crowd, had contrived to attach a park of
lighted lire crackers to the skirt of our green
Irieiid’s coat, and as lie stood in the attitude of'
passing as he supposed to the doorkeeper’s
quarter —crack! bang! went the fireworks,
and al the same instant, a loafer sang out. at

My Dear Sir: I have received two letters
(on** from the Rev. Mr. Angler, and the other
signed by .Mr. Van Wvrk) asking on several
grounds, the discharge of James Thompson, a
private of ihesecond Artillery. Ist--He lias,
since Ins enlistment, reformed his habits. This
is an argument in favor of Ins serving out his
lime, lest he should relapse, it discharged be
fore confirmed in his reformation—military dis
cipline highly favors reformation. 2d—He lias
become pious. This makes him at once a bet
ter soldier and a better man. and fortunately
we are not w ithout many pious officers and
men in our ranks ; but 3d—it is alleged that lie
lias imbibed conscientious scruples against
performing military duty. If the man be mad
iiecan be discharged on a surgeon's certificate
to that effect—but if In* has only turned cow

if he should, w hen ordered, refuse to fight.

A Touching Scene*
A writer indie Boston Times, describing a vis
ilto tin* Penitentiary al Philadelphia, thus speaks
of an interview-between Mr. Scattergood, die
humane arden of lhe prison, and a young
man who was about to enter on his imprison
ment. Few will read it without deep emotion
e pass«*d out to the ante-room again—
where we encountered a new comer, who
had just reached the prison as w e entered. He
had been sent up for five years, on a charge ot
embezzlement.
lie was elegantly attired in the latest style
ot lashion. and possessed all tne monchalanct
and devil-may-care apperance of a genteel
rowdy. He twirled his watch chain, looking
particularly know mg at a couple of ladies w ho
chanced to be present, and seemed utterly indif
ferent about himself or lhe perdicament he
was placed in ! The \\ arden read his commit
ment. and addressed him with—
•• Charles, I a n sorry to see thee here.'
“ It can l be helped, old fellow
“ What is thy age. Charles?”
“Tw entv -three.”
“ A Phdadelphian ?”
—kinder, ami kinder not!"
“Thee has disgraced thj self, sadly.”
“ U ell. I am t troubled’, old cock?’
“ Thee looks not like a rogue.”
“ Matter of opinion!”
“ Tlnee was well situated”—
“ Y es— w ell enough”—
“In good emplov”—
\\ ell—so so.”
“ And thee has parents ?’’
“ Perhaps thee hast a mother. Charles’”
The convict had been standing during this
brief dialogue perfectly unconcerned ami reck
ie*s. until this la-t interrogatory was put. Had
a thunderbolt struck him he could have not fal
len more sudden than he did w hen the name
ot “mother’ fell on his ear! He *auk into
a chair—a torrent of tears gushed from his
eyes—the very fountain of his heart seemed to
have burst on the mutant.’ He recovered par

“ Don’t you. Sir —for God’s sake dun t call
her name in this dreadful place ! I»o w hat you
may with me. but don’t mention that name to

There were tears in other eyes besides the
prisoner's, and an aching silence pervaded lhe
group who Mirroutided the unfortunate con
vict. * The black cap was drawn over
his eves, he was led io an adjoining apartment
and stripped, and shortly afterward, he re-ap

The Bore.
[Translated from the “ German Schnell-Post. 11 ]
The pen which I have taken up to write this
sketch trembles in my hand. Monotonous and
well-known voices murmur in my ears: I feel
heavy hands placed on my shoulders; I see all
tiresome people, whom I have known through
lifj. passing before me in phantastic procession.
And nevertheless, although discouraged by
these visions, I will speak of you, ye terrible
and numerous beings, whom the Almighty
suffers to multiply, only that we may not set
our hearts too much on terrestrial things, but
long for abetter world.
The bore generally grows very old and pre
serves his faculties to the last moment. He
seldom loses lhe use of his limbs, only some
times he will get deaf; but this makes very little
difference with him, because he does’nt care so
much to hear himself as to heard by others.
The bore enjoys such excellent health as al
most to cause chagrin to others. To get sick,
and thus to afford to his unfortunate acquain
tances some moments of relief, would be com
mitting a crime against his calling. H<l rises
early and goes to bed late, in order to bore you
as long as possible. He also travels much, for
you find him everywhere. It would be useless
to fly to Siberia in order to avoid him ; he
would certainly be the first person you would
meet there.
As the bore is very little sought after, he
clings to the first person he meets, like an oys
ter to the rock. He is also not unlike a leech,
only with this difference, that there are no
means to shake him off, even though you were
to sprinkle salt on his head. Do you hope to
repulse him by coldness ? You are mistaken,
the bore is not sensitive; moreover, he has too
few acquaintances to risk the loss of any of
them. You insult him—tie smiles; yon tread
on his corns —he bow s and begs your pardon ;
you show him the door—he stops at the window
to tell you that he forgot his umbrella, and doles
out to you one of his longest stories, holding
you fast by the buttonhole of your coat.
The bore reads much that he may bore you
thoroughly on ail possible subjects; for the
same reason he speaks several languages. He
tells you jokes, introducing them with the
remark, how it will make yon laugh, thus un
avoidably augmenting the gloomy feeling which
his presence produces.
These people are gifted with a pernicious
memory and eyesight The bore never for
gets your face, he recognizes it at a distance of
a quarter of a mile, and as he walks very fast,
you have no prospect of escaping him. You
are indeed lo be pitied if he unfortunately
owns a country place, almuse, a garden, and
you happen to fall into ibis hornet’s nest; he is
sure lo show you every cabbage stalk, thus to
honor his possessions.
But most tiresome is he if misfortune be
falls him. As often as he meets you he tells
you his lamentable story; lhe signs of your
impatience he takes for tender sympathy.—
He imagines to have found at last a sympa
thizing heart, while you think it quite natural,
that life w ile left him, that his children flew from
under the paternal roof, and that his best friends i
meet him in the street w ithout speaking to him. I
Do not for a moment entertain any hope of
escaping the bore, if he lias chosen you for his
victim ; he follows you like your shadow and
is tenacious as fate; he has the sharp eye of
lhe eagle, to recognize you amongst thousands,
and lhe fleetliess of the ostrich, to overtake you
in your flight. Do not believe, that your down
cast looks make any impression on the bore;
he has no conscience nor sympathy—but
Heaven, perhaps, will have mercy on your
sufferings. Such people could make ns cruel;
for involuntarily the thought arises, lo wish him
dead, instantaneously of course.
Merciful Heaven, deliver us from the bore !
South American Cannibals.—’[’lie Chun- ’
chos are far more dangerous, and are one of
the most formidable races of the Indios Bravos.
They inabit lhe most southern part of the Pam
pa del Sacramento, (the terra incognita of Pe
ru.) and chiefly the district through which flow
*h« rivers Chancbai>»Myo and Perene. Tio»«*» !
regions are inhabited by a great number of ,
tribes, most of which are only known by name, i
The frontier neighbors of the Chnnclios are !
the sanguinary Campas, or Antes, who destroy- :
ed the illusions of Jesus Maria, in Pangoa. and
who still occasionally pay hostile visits to San
Buenaventura de Chavini, the extreme Chris
tian outpost in the Montana de Andainarca.
The savage race of the Casibos. the enemies
of all the surrounding populations, inhabit the
banks of the river Pachitea. According to lhe
accounts of the missionaries, they, as well as the
Antes ami Chum hos, are still cannibals, and
undertake wailike expeditions for the purpose
of capturing prisoners, w hom they devour.
After lhe rainy season, when lhe Simiriuches,
the Aniapuahas, or Conshos hunt in the west
ern forests, they often fall into the hands of Co
sibos, who mutate in perfection the cries as
the forest animals, so that the hunters are
treacherously misled, and being captured, are
carried off as victims. Many horrible accounts
of this barbarous tribe were related by lhe mis
sionaries, centuries ago. when romantic stories
and exaggerations of every kind were the
order of the day; but lhe most recent
communications of the missionaries from
Ocapa, confirm the fact that, in the year 1>43,
lhe Casibos continued to be savage anthropo
phagi. It is worthy of remark that they never
vat women, a fact which some may be inclined
to attribute to respect for the female sex. Il is.
however, assignable to a ditl'ereiit feeling. AH
tin* South American Indians, who still remain
under the influence of sorcery ami empircism,
con-ider women in the light of impure and evil
beings, and calculated to injure them. Among
a lew of lhe less rude nations this aversion is
apparent, in domestic life, in a certain uncon
querable contempt of females. With lhe in
ihropophagi the feeling extends, fortunately,
to their flesh, which is held lo be poisonous.—

Origin of England’s National Debt.—
The existing debt had a most fitting commence
ment. viz : an agreement to pay a theft of
Charles H. At that time there was a kind of
paper money issued by goldsmith’s as a “ re
ceipt for coin” lodged with them on deposit. —
Charles, always in a strait for money, and sur
rounded by prostitutes and a most profligate
set of men ; was unable to borrow —Ins credit
was gone. He, therefore, with his worthy
coadjutors; contrived to create a panic, during
which he induced goldsmiths ;• n«1 merchants to
lodge their money (£664.263) in the exchequer
for security. As soon as this was done, he
abstracted the money and spent it in his rev els.
This sum. bearing 6 per cent, interest, com
menced that Engtishdebt which is now £SOO,-
000.800. The people of England have paid in
terest on the money Charles sto.’e. and gave to
his women. £40.000 per annum for 181 years,
making £7.240.0U0. or $32,000,000, ami the
debt is no nearer extinguished than before. —
tiradualiy increasing during the Bth century,
lhe debt arose to £263.403.034 in 1893. In
lhe following 22 years, which is the estimate for
the life of a generation. >1 was increased £540.-
(>OO.OOO ! Suppose every generation snould
borrow alike sum. who would pay ’ Surely
Mr. Pitt and his generation had no exclusive
right to borrow. OCIO generations which pas
sed avvav from the Norman conquest down to
lhe French war. each one had as much right to
borrow as that of Mr. Put. and nearly every
one had as much necessity. Suppose they had
done so. where would have been his ability to
borrow ’ The generations that have passed
awav since the contraction of lhe debt have
quietly submitted to pay us interest, but the one
now in being has begun strongly to question
both his right to borrow at all. the justice of the
debts he did not contract, and the equity ui
continuing to pay. When this matter come
once to be seriously discussed, the death-knell
of the funding system may be considered us be

Stkikino Anecdote. —Charles XII, King ol
Sweden, drank sometimes to excess, so as
even to disturb his reason. In one of his
drunken bouts he lost the respect which was
due to the Queen, his mother. She retired to
her chamber, overwhelmed with grief, and re
mained there on the following day. As she
did not make her appearance, the King inquir
ed the cause. This being told, he took a glass
of wine in his hand, and went to the Queen’s
room. “Madame,’' said he to her. “ I have learn
ed that yesterday, in my cups, I forgot myself
towards you. I come to ask your pardoin ;
and, to prevent a recurrence of such a fault. I
drink this glass to your health; it shall be the
last during my life.” He kept his word, and
from that day he never tasted wine.”

■ff Dr. H. F. Peery’s Vermifuge or Dead
Shot for Worms. — There is perhaps no disease
to which children are exposed so common and fatalas
Worms; the symptoms resemble those of almost ev
ery other complaint, and often produce the most
alarming effects before they are suspected. Extract
from a letter recived from Dr. Wharton :
Newcastle, Va., Jan. 3d, 1844.—Dear Sir —I gave
a vial of the “ Dead Shot” you left with me lorthe
purpose of testing its merits, to a friend ol mine, who
introduced its use in his family by giving it to a pa
tient selected as a suitable case. It was administer
ed according to the directions around the vial, and to
my astonishment, the first operation brought away
about 35 worms. I have administered it in several
other instances since, with similar good success ; and
it will afford me much pleasure in doing all in my
power to recommend it to the notice of my friends
and the public generally. With respect yours, &c.
Thos. J. Wharton.

It is not often that we find amongst the
Medical Faculty sufficient candor to accord any merit
whatever to “Patent Medicines” as it conflicts with
their interest so to do—but below we give an excep
tion :
Opinion of a Regular Physician.—Exeter, Me.,
Sept. 30, 1845.—This certifies that I have recom
mended the use of Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry
for diseases of the luugs, for two years past, and many
bottles, to my knowledge, have been used by my pa
tients, nil with beneficial results. In two cases where
it was thought confirmed consumption had taken
place, the Wild Cherry effected a cure.

Important to Clergymen, Lawyers
and Public Speakers Generally.— We are
kindly permitted to publish the following extract from
a letter from the Rev. J. W. Smith to a brother in
the ministry :
Durham, < t., Nor. 21$/, 1846.—Dear Brother:
Yours of ihe stli inst. was received some days ago,
and would have been answered ere now had not a
pressure of business prevented me.
I am pained to hearof your continued indisposition
and inability to pursue your ministerial labors. You
ask if I have ever been thus or similarly afflicted ? 1
answer, yes! In the autumn ol 1842 I contracted a
severe cold while riding my circuit, which res died in
affection of the lungs, accompanied by a violent
cough, which was so much instated in speaking that
for nearly two months I was unable to preach a single
sermon, and I began to have fears that I should never
be able to again resume my labors. About t e first
of November I was at Br. Caldwell’s, in Hartford,
and he g ive me a box of Hull’s Cough Lozenges, re
commending them as a medicine well adapted to the
cure of my case. As an experiment I began using
them, ami soon found myself improving—and after
four weeks continued use of them, I was able to go
upon my circuit. Since then 1 have invariably made
use of the Lozenges in all cases of cold or hoarsene?s,
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 l»e
■ 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, respectfullv. Wm. P. Earle.

The first effect of a bilious clima e upon
j the human system is to produce torpor and inactivity
j of the Liver: thereby preventing the natural and
1 free discharge of bile. All know the lurking nature
. of the poison that produces Fever and Ague, and its
I kindred diseases. A sallow complexion, capricious
J appetite and occasional pains in the side, are often the
I only symptoms to warn of impending d inger. The
| operation of Dr. Osgood’s India Chofagogue is to
j counteract this miasmal influence, by producing ac
i tivity of tin* biliary organs, and a healthy, natural
I discharge <»f bile from the system.

TO THE COTTON PLANTERS OF
GEORGIA
THE SUBSCRIBER continues to manufac
ture his
SUPERIOR COTTON GINS,
at his factory in Morgan county. The experience of
two years past has proven his gins to be superior to
any others made in the State—Cotton ginned upon
them bringing the highest price in all tEe 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 inspects.
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.

[Certificates.]
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 I have ever used, and I have never seen
a better one. I sold iqy crop of cotton in Madison,
for an eighth of a cent over the top ofthe market. ly
would prefer it to any Carver Gin.
CHARLES P. SHOEMAKER.
Morgan County, April 13, 1846.
I certify that I have purchased a Cotton Gin from
Messrs. Winship, King & Johnson, and have given it
a fair trial, and 1 have no hesitation in saying that it
is the best Gin I have ever used, or seen. 1 have
seen several of the Carver Gins, but would give this
Gin the decided preference over them.

G RISWOLD’S
IMPROVED COTTON GINS.
THE SUBSCRIBER will continue the
MANUFACTURE OF GINS on hi« usual
extensive scale, and embraces this opper. unity 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,
during 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 arc believed to be ten times more durable than
any other, by those who have made a fair trial of them,
and are infallibly 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 ami 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 J \ if used according to the printed direc
iions sent with each.

COTTON GINS!
IMPROVED ON WHAT WAS BEFORE
CONSIDERED PERFECT.
I HAVE 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 I feel grate
ful. I have warranted all my tine gins. I have never
had one returned as not coming up to what 1 promised.
It is known I have, and do promise that my gins make
superior cotton. I have no travelling agents. I rely '
on my gins telling a better tale for me, and one that I
will be sooner believed than a travelling agent ; in 1
short, I hope to make my gins sell themselves. I feel
confident in stating that 1 have made valuable im- 1
provements in my fine gins, and that I shall hereafter I
furnish an improved gin to anything heretofore sold. 1
I would also inform citizens of Warren, Washington, I
Wilkes, Columbia and Burke counties, that I have
purchased Simpson’s improvement for band machin- 1
ery, and those who purchase my gins in the counties
named will have the use of the patent free; the ma- 1
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 rale, 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 S 3 per saw.
My plain gins are also greatly improved, and will
be sold according to kind, frWm 82 to 82.50 per
saw. My finest gins have heretofore sold higher than
, other gins, and yet, heretofore, 1 have not been able to
i supply the demand, whilst I have been unable to sell
but few plain gins.
, Orders or letters, addressed to me atSparta, will be
promptly attended to, and gins delivered at purchasers’
residences, free of charge
