4 THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE & SENTINEL Appropriation for Savannah River- Debate In the House or Representa tives. The debate was resumed on the question of reconsidering the vote by which the civil and diploina'ic appropriation bill was rejected.— When this subject was under consideration yesterday, after Mr. Bayly had concluded his remarks— Mr. Stephen* said the gentleman from Vir ginia (Mr. Bayly) and some other gentleman complained that this item for the removal of obstructions in the Savannah river had been put in this bill purposely tu procure an Execu tive veto. Now, as one who advocated this appropriation, not only at this session, but at every session since he h_d been a member of this House, he could say that he had never heard such an intimation until this morning He did not dream that any individual could possibly expect the President would veto this appropriation. He had always understood that his Democratic colleague had uniformly voted fur this appropriation, except at this ses sion, and that it was supported because it stood on grounds different from other appropriations for the improvement of harbors. He believed he was right in saying that his Democratic colleague had heretofore voted for it; but he had voted against the bills containing the ap propriation because other matters different from this were putin them ; and for his col league. who is a member of the Committee of Ways and Means, (Mr. Toombs,) who had this item put in the bill, not for a veto but to get the money, he would state that he agreed in some points with the gentleman from Vir ginia in opposing a general system of internal improvements, but not on constitutional grounds. That colleague happened to be ab sent to-day, or he (Mr S ) knew he would an swer for himself, and state most explicitly that this object was not to provoke a veto by put ting this item in the civil and diplomatic appro priation bid ; but it was to disconnect this case from other harbor improvements which stand upon entirely different grounds. He knew this was the object of his colleague, and that this was the history or the true reason for this appropriation in this bill. Mr. McClelland inquired if the gentleman's colleague vyas not in favor of separating this item from this bill, that the merits of every such item should be discussed by itself? Mr. Stephens said it was not necessary that he should go into a detail of the views of his colleague uh the subject of internal improve ments, as probably before the adjournment his colleague would speak for himself. But he was satisfied that his colleague had no doubt of the constitutionality ol improving harbors for the benefit ofthe people of this Union. If they could not legislate upon this subject, what sort of a Government had they ? He repeated that he knew his colleague was opposed to a large, unlimited, and extravagant system of internal improvements, as he was himself, but that he had always disconnected this case from others. And now what was the argument of the gen tleman from Virginia ? He says this does not differ from other cases, because these obstruc tions were put into this river by the Govern ment before the adoption of the federal consti tution. This was the ground on which the gentleman m ikes this case analogous to all others, and wishes to get rid of the obligation resting on us to make the removal. Now be (Mr. S.) intended to show that it was but a quibble to say that these obstructions were put there before the adoption of the present con stituiion, and that therefore this appropriation for their removal was unconstitutional. He supposed from (hisargumentthatif this Govern ment should p it in such obstructions, this Go vernment could take them out; though he did unt know but that it might be contended that if this Government should now, in lime of war put in such obstructions, it could not. again remove them. Was he to argue such a ques tion as that I He appealed to the gentleman from Virginia, and asked if he entertained such constitutional opinions as that this Government could block up the mouth of a river for the na tional defence, but that it could not afterwards remove such obstructions? No gentleman could entertain such opinion*. The gentle man from Virginia, speaking of the President, said that lie would hot longer terrify this side by alluding tu the Executive veto. Now. he had not known that side of the House ever quailed or became terrified at any threat of the Executive, nor had he heard on that side ofthe House until this morning that the President would veto this bill if this item was inserted; and yet as the representative of American free men, it by message of the Executive, or com munication from any of his minions, such a threat should be made, he (Mr S.) would maintain his rights, and vote for it notwithstand ing. No threat of the Executive would have any terror for that aide of the House, and Mr. S. would fain hope that it would have no influ ence with the other side. During the revolu tionary war these obstructions were put into this river in part by our officers and in part by the British, and he maintained that it rested with the Government to remove them; and it rested 1> <olely on constructio.i, but on the plain terms of the constitution : for by the con stitution the new Government assumed all the obligations of the old Confederation. But this assumption in effect would have been made by the change, even without the express provi sion. When the Government of any people passe* from one form to another, those who come last to the exercise of its powers take the Government, rumoncre. Suppose we had not adopted the constitution, and that the States had remained as a confederated republic, would any gentleman doubt that it was the duty ofthe Federal Government to remove the obstructions from that river ? He could not argue such a question as this. He believed the gentleman from Virginia was a lawyer, mid sometimes spoke from the book, and he asked him if. in such a case, the duty would have rested upon the Confederation to make the re moval, did it not now devolve on the present Government to discharge this eld obligation? He was astonished, then, to hear gentlemen say it was unconstitutional because those ob structions had been placed there before the a doptiou of the present constitution. Sovereign ty might be transferred, but the incoming Gov ernment took with it all the trusts and respoti nibililias, rights and obligations of the old Gov ernment uuderihe Confederacy. No principle in public law urine laws of nations was plainer or better settled. He wished to call the attention of the House and of the country to the fact that the civil and diplomatic bill fur the support of the Govern ment was rejected because it contained an item for tiiv improvement of the Savannah river, when all the other items were called for by the Executive. and the Committee of Ways’ and Means. And what was that item ? He hero read the item appropriating .$50,000 for the re moval of obstructions in the Savannah, near Fort Pulaski and the naval anchorage, and said they were told by the other side of the House th it if this item were retained in this bill it would be vetoed by the President. Although no gentleman had authority to say so. tiie gen tleman from \ irgmia said he had no doubt of it. .Now. was not this an extraordinary spectacle to present to the country, when the Chief Ma gistrate of this Union undertook to say to the Representatives of the people that the wheels of Government should stop if they dared exer cise one of their rights, and make an appropri ation to remove obstructions from a river which the Government had put there itself? The gentleman from Virginia told them he came to this conclusion from the general knowledge he had of the President’s previous vetoes. Conse quently. the wheels of Government must stop if they did that which was necessary to the naval marine of the country, as well as necessary to the promoiionof the interests of commerce.— The gentleman from Virginia said the Presi dent could not allow his conscience to be vio lated by approving a bill containing such an item for one of our own rivers or one of our own harbors, and yet the President could apt prove a surrey of the Dead Sea. He did nol speak authoritatively; but he asked the gentle man from V irginia if it were not so, that the President bad not approved ol the survey of the harbors of that distant inland sea ? Mr Baylv said he was able to speak somewhat with authority on Uns subject, and he could say that the President has ordered no such thing. Permission was asked by some of our naval officers to make the scientific explo r.cion on their own account, it was done without any direction or control whatever of the Government Department; and Permission was given them to do Ui.u w hich is often done xvaen etficeis are on foreign stations: to make short excursions for the examination of objects which will tend to enlighten them and the world. .Mr Stephens, then, understood the gentle man from V irginu to say that they were not sent -mt, but that, on their application, perm s •uon was given them to survey the Dead Sea Mr Rally. Not to survey it; that would de pend upon the sense in which the gentle man used the w ord survev The word survey might have different meanings. And he said some thing of the sense of the word in the stanza of “lam luooarvb of all 1 survey.’’ which were not distinctly heard. M r. Stephens replied that the sense in which be used the word was to examine, explore, make observations. Ac. But he did not know but mat he was wrong: aud that the gentle man nd just given the sense in which the re- >ni had u*ed it. He certainly was actu ated o* lle feelingsand views, when he m ' ' over the Territories of New -’Hexico and t'ahibnua. and made a survev of lbe<». Allta.Muihen.pok. one p | alnlaa . guage: r - i am monarch of all I survey. My right there is ooae io d ’ ue. From the centre all tound to the w* lam lord of the fowl and the brute.' Perhaps it is with tuts same feeiuig he is now ••’** z a survey of the Dead Soa. And while he demes the right of Congress to do anything i.irthe mprovement of our rivers and harbor*, he .*•.:! appro* e the expenduure of thousands of dollars out of the pabhc treasure in making surveys, examinations, and ex pi orations after the lost eiliea of Sodom aud Gomorrah. Such was the conscience of our President. He can expend the public treasure in exploring other climes, but could not allow Congressone dol lar in improving our own. Mr Bayly said something further in interrup tion about jurisdiction, not heard. Mr. S. said he did not believe that Lt. Col. Fremont claimed the jurisdiction of the coun try when he made his exploring expedition, in to California ; nor did Cap:. Gillespie. They were, however, despatched there by authority, their expenses were paid out of our 1 reasury. and they soon created a revolution, and pre sented the singular spectacle of officers of this government, in the pay of this government, commencing war with and revolutionizing a neighboring country, without any authority of law save the will of the President. But his question had been. Who bore the expenses of this expedition to the Dead Sea? Did they or did they not come out of the treasury ? Did the officers concerned pay the expenses out of their own pockets ? Did they pay for the buil ling of the peculiar sort of boat* necessary for the exploration, and which, as he was in formed. had been built in this country? Were they not built and sentout at the public charge ? Mr. S. did not know the fact, but he had been so informed. And was this the excuse, the palliation that the friends of the President of sered for the tenderness of the conscience of the President, which would prevent him from allowing ns to appropriate a few thousand dol lars to remove obstructions in one of our own rivers, which our government helped to place there for the national defence, during the war of the revolution ? He could build boats for an exploration to the Dead Sea, it seems, without authority of law, bilthis conscience wasquite too tender to allow ofhis permitting the people's representatives to provide for the removal of obstructions which were putin one of our own harbors by the officers of our Government, and by which, in part, they were enabled to achieve our independence! His tender conscience did not prevent him from claiming all the pow ers of a conquering monarch over foreign terri tory, nor from prosecuting explorations of dis tant seas in the east, at the expense ofthe peo ple ofthe United States ; but at home, here al our door*, his conscience would not allow him to sanction the appropriation of a dollar for the benefit of the commerce of our own people, or the safety of our own navy in com ing to anchor in one of our own ports ! Mr. Bayly said he did not admit that the ex pense of this exploration ofthe Dead Sea had come one ofthe Treasury. Mr. Stephens said he understood that it had. He understood from the gentleman at the head ofthe Naval Committee (Mr. T. B. King) that the boats provided for that expedition were paid for out of the Treasury ; so he was in formed; beyond that he could not go. But even if the expenses ofthe boats did not come out of the Treasury, the officers concerned in it were in the pay of the Government, and were engaged in the enterprise by the permis sion of the President. Mr. Bayly inquired how the Chairman ofthe Naval Committee knew that such was the fact. Mr. T. Buller King (Chairman ofthe Com mittee on Naval Affairs) said he knew nothing more than what he had learned by common re port. [Voices, “Oh !ah !”] Gentlemen need not cry “oh and ah” qube so soon. [ Laughter.] He did know, from very high authority, that the outfit necessary to the exploration had been made at the expense of the government. These officers must have taken out the requi site boats and nautical and astronomical instru ments to complete the examination ; and while so engaged, they were, of course, under pay as officers ofthe Government. The gentleman from Virginia did not certainly question this. Mr. Bayly said he did greatly question it. Mr. King observed what lie said was, that this service was performed by permission of the department. Mr. Rhett. Had not these gentlemen gone out on this expedition on their own account. Mr. King said he did not understand that they had gone on their own account. Mr McClernand. Would the gentleman from Georgia undertake to say that they were ordered on that service by me Government. Mr. King. I have not said that. 1 said they were permitted. Mr. Rhett inquired from what source the gentleman had derive 1 this information ? Mr. King replied from the Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Rhett. The Secretary of the Navy told you so ? Mr. King. He told meso, himself. Mr. Bayly said he was himself a member of the Naval Committee. He had gone to the Department and had there inquired into the precise stale of (he case. Mr. King said he brought no charge against the Secretary ofthe Navy on this account. He, had only said that the expedition was permitted by the Department. Mr. Gentry wished to inquire from the hono rable chairman whether a public vessel, belong ing to the United States, ever left this country on a distant expedition, without orders from the Department ? Mr King replied that none ever did. Mr. Gentry said these officers must have had orders, or they never would have gone there Mr Schenck here referredto a speech ofhis own in which he had been commenting on the inconsistency ofthe Executive Government in sending out an expedition to explore the Dead Sea, and at the same time refusing to sanction the improvement of our own rivers and har bors. He had gone afterwards to the Navy Department, where the Secretary explained to him the whole affair. The explanation given was, that certain naval officers had expressed their willingness and desire to make the ex ploration. and he had given them permission to do so. because he considered that the result would be a desirable acquisition to science. Mr. S. said he had further learned—he was not sure it was from the Secretary; it might have been from other sources: he certainly had seen it stated in the newspapers—that boats of easy transportation hud been prepared, and the in structions were published under which these officers had been engaged in making the re quisite preparations for the exploration. Mr. S. had himself never alluded to it; for he was not of opinion that the thing was at all wrong, but the contrary. What he complained of was, that while it was held to be ill right and proper, and quite constitutional to carry on such an exploration in the continent of Asia, it was supposed to be the greatest heresy to per mit a river or a harbor in our own country to bo examined and improved. Mr. Bayly said that he had seen the instruc tions alluded to, and knew all about it. Mr. Stephens said that all this eager contro versy. which had for some time been going on all round him, amounted to nothing at all. It seemed that, whenever he addressed the House, the disposition to interrupt and to make inquiries and explanations became contagious. Air. Schenck (in his seat) said it was because he stirred them up. Now, sir, (continued Mr. Stephens.) it is wholly immaterial, for the purpose to which I al luded to this afi’.iir, whether the officers paid for their copper boats and outfit or not. They are engaged in this service, 1 understand to be admitted, by the permission of the Secretary of the Navy, aud their regular salaries are paid out of the Treasury while engaged in this ser vice. The mam question here was, whether officers of our navy, while in the pay of the Go vernment, had engaged in this survey of the Dead Sea with the knowledge and consent of the President f it was not to be expected that our naval officers, when they left our own shores, carried with them specific orders and directions as to where they were to go from day to day, and just at what points, they were to stop; but, wnerever they went, while on a cruise, they were held to be constructively in the service of the Government. That was the point. Mr. 8. did not complain if the money of the people had been appropriated for the advancement of ihe cause of science and the enlightenment of the people. If such results should ensue from the exploration of the Dead Sea. and our officers could secure them with out detriment to »he public service, he had no complaint against it. He agreed with what the gentleman from Ohio ( Mr. Schenck) said that this might all be very proper : but he did com plain that the President of the United St ites, who knew* of aud permitted such an explora tion in a distant country, could turn upon our ow n people and say that it is right and proper to explore distant teas, but you cannot im prove your own, aud withhold from them the money intended to be applied to the advance ment of the national prosperity and the im provement of our own great natural advan tages. What good would it do the people of ihe United Slates to explore the Dead Sea. in comparison to the opening of the great highways for their own commerce .’— Gentlemen on the other side of the House seemed to have taken the President’s con snence into their own peculiar keeping, and they would not consent to pass any measure in this House which they supposed his con science or ins caprice might lead him to op pose. Mr. S must call these conscientious scruples nothing but a caprice. If not. why were instructions given m the negotiation of the late treaty to secure the right of way at Tehuantepec ’ Where was the constitutional provision that authorized the President to in sert a condition like that in a treaty between the I nited States and a foreign power ’ And wiiy was the right ot way desired if it could not be unproved and rendered available. but why did Mr. S. stand here talking about the constitutional scruples of a man who had done htt.e else than trample the constitution beneath his feet from the day of his m iiignra tioii to this day ; of a man who. in the verv face of the constitution aud against its plain letter, had involved the nation in an unnecessary and expensive war ot aggression, invasion, and conquest; ofamanwbo arrogated to himself the absolute power of a monarch over conquer ed provinces: of a man who dared to establish a civil government by his own authority and his ow n officers upon suit which he claimed to be a part of one of the sovereign States of this I mon : who laid duues, collected imposts, and expended large sums of money by orders in eounci.. and without authority of law ; of a man who could, by the proclamation of sub alterns. change the allegiance of a foreign peo ple and deciare them to be citizens of the Un’ted Platea, when this subject by me consututiou was left to Congress to regulate ? This is the conscientious President, whose scruples we must look to in the discharge of our duty ? And when Mr. S. and bis constituents came here and asked Congress for a few thousand dollars to remove an obstruction placed by his Government across the mouth of one of our own rivers, to open a pathway fur our own commerce, they were toid his conscience was oo tender to allow it! Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, here interposed.— He said he knew his friend from Georgia; he had served with him in committee ; he wanted to ask the gentleman a question, and he thought it was best to do it now, before his friend got any more irritated. [A laugh.] He knew that in ordinary times he was a very courteous gentleman. Now, Mr. C. expected soon to gel the floor, and he wanted to know whether it would be permitted to him to take a latitude like this on a motion for reconsideration ? He desired to know this now. that he might make the proper preparation before hand for launch ing out into the Dead Sea. [Much laughter.] He would require some time to fix up his barque if it was to go on so long a voyage as to the Dead Sea, which he believed was some where in Asia. Mr. Stephens said he was for giving the gen tleman from Alabama full latitude: he might launch his barque on a voyage to the Dead Sea, and might cross, if he could, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec ; and if he was going to sustain Mr. Polk in vetoing this bill, he might as well at the same time prepare for one other little voyage, and that was up Salt River. [Renew ed laughter. ] Mr. Cobb said that he just wanted time to exlpain that he had voted against this appro priation bill simply because it contained this item for clearing out Savannah river. Mr. Stephens would say to the gentleman that he had better take some time if he was go ing to satisfy his constituents for voting to ne gative the general appropriation bill for the support of Government and particularly if he hoped to justify it from the fact that it con tained an appropriation for removing from the Savannah river obstructions which had been place in it by this Government. When interrupted by the gentleman from Alabama he had been speaking, he believed, about the conscience of the Executive ; of a man who had outraged the constitution in eve ry conceivable form, and then pleaded his con stitutional scruples whenever any money was to be applied to the improvement of any part of our own country. The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Bavly) had reminded him that Congress had permitted the State of Georgia to levy tonnage duties for the improvement of the Savannah river. No doubt it had. That act, however, Mr. S be lieved, became obsolete by its own limitation twenty years ago. But Mr. G,as a Georgian, was opposed to Georgia’s doing any such thing. Why should Georgia tax the commerce of one of her cities to remove obstructions which the General Government had sunk al the mouth of her river. Mr. Bayly inquired whether Georgia had not asked permission of Congress to do this? Mr. Stephens replied that she had. That Georgia had passed, in 1787, before the forma tion of her constitution, an act laving tonnage duties for this purpose, and after the constitu tion was adopted and the new Government went into operation it became necessary to gel the consent of Congress, which was given but was now obsolete by its own limitation. But Mr. 8 said he was opposed to the policy of that act. [Here some inquiries passed between Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, and his colleague, as to changes in party politics within their State, and when these changes had taken place, and a good-natured hit or two was given which the Reporter, being no Georgian, did not compre hend. ] Air. 8. said that he had been opposed to this policy of levying tonnage duties by State au thority. There was no right, no justice in it, that the commerce of the people of Georgia should be subjected to taxation for the remo val of obstructions which not the hand of Na ture but the hand of Government had pheed in the principal river ofthe Slate. The presence of these obstructions, by lessening the depth oi water on the bar, had had an injurious effect upon the commercial prosperity of the city of Savannah. Charles oti, tier rival, was very near, having a decided advantage over her in point of capital. And what had given her this advantage f These very obstructions in Sa vannah had doubtless contributed. The harbor at Savannah was better than that at Charleston —the depth of wa er over the bar was greater. Before Government sunk these obstacles to prevent the entrance of a hostile fleet, vessels of the largest size could ride safely to the very wharves of the city. There were some truths so self evident as to be admitted as axioms, because no reasoning would strengthen their own irresistible im pression, and by which all rational minds were forced to give their assent. This was one. — Government having blockaded the river in lime of war. Government had not only a right to remove the obstructions when they were no longer needed, but were under a high mo ral obligation to do so. If Georgia should re move those obstructions at her own expense she would have a right to demand reimburse ment from this Government. Whosoever blocks up a highway must remove the obstacle or have it done at his expense—noth.ng clearer. Mr. Burt inquired whether any examination had been made into the nature and state of these obstructions, and any report made on the subject ? .Mr. Stephen* replied that there had. Mr. Burt inquired at what time ? Mr. Hunt made an explanation in reply, and slated that at the last session an estimate for the removal of these obstructions had been made by the Executive through the Secretary of War. Mr. S. would, indeed, ask hisc dleagnes onthe other side of the House, how,as Georgians, they could reconcile it with their sense of duty to voce against an appropriation for removing from a river of Georgia obstructions which the Government had placed there ? As to the con stitutional power, to Air. S. it seemed perfectly useless to argue so plain a question ; no illus tration could make the point plainer nor stron ger. .And now, sir, I ask, (said Mr. S ) is this House so degraded, so debased, so utterly de generate, as to withhold this right, this nothing but bare justice, from the people of Georgia— and not only them but the people of upper Alabama and 'Tennessee, and still more distant parts—barely because they fear it will not suit the conscience ofthe President to allow it ? This House has by a large majority declared that Congress has the power tu improve nar bors. to at ford outlet* to our commerce : but this is a much s rongercase ; it barely asks that you may abate your own nuisance. ’ And can it be possible that men will shrink from this high duty from nothing but subserviency to Execu tive will ? Has the House oi Representatives of an American Congress sunk so low as to become nothing but the registers of Presiden tial edicts ? Sir, 1 trust we shall do our duty, let the President do as he may. For one. he was inclined to sav with the gentleman from Massachusetts, lhatthe Presi dent would not veto this bill. The gentleman from Virginia ;Mr. Bayly) was ofopinion that he would. Mr. S. could not believe it. If he did mean tn veto it, Mr. S. wanted him to avow it. He did not want Executive threats to be uttered by representatives here unless they were authorized. If the Executive was in deed prepared intake such a step, and this was the platform of his party, that the wishes of the people should not be suffered to prevail, even at the risk ofstoppiug the wheels of Govern men’, it was full time the American people should know it. If th© President vetoed the bill, he hoped the country would then know what this veto power was. He trusted there would be no quailing on that side the House. He hoped the House would array itself in de fence of this feature in the bill, and let the country know why it was that the Presided had dared to stop the wheels of Government Let the nation know whether its Goverment was to be arrested and the public business brought to a standstill, rather than have the Govern ment taken from the m.mth of an American ri ver obstacles which the Government itself had placed there .’ The issue had been made by the gentleman from North Carolina, (Mr. Me- Kav ;) Mr. S. w is prepared to meet it. and to go before the country upon it. He cared not if every Democrat in the House opposed the bill; he was ready for the issue, and would meet it any where and every where, before the peo ple ofhw own State, and before the people us the United States.

WYNNE CERTIFICATES: Taliaferro County, Ga., July 24, 1848. —I do hereby certify, to the best of my recollection, that I purchased from Mr. Thomas Wynne, of Columbia county, Ga., a42 saw cotton gin in the year 1832. I have used it ever since that time, and it is a very good gin yet. I have ginned on said gin between 1500 and 2000 bates, and it has cost me only two whettings during that time, and the first time was by said Wynne. 1 have always been able to get the highest market price in Augusta for the cotton ginned on said gin, according to quality before ginned. I would recommend all persons that want to pur chase a good gin to try one of Mr. Wynne’s, as they last a long time with little repairing and work well. I think persons trying Mr. Wynne’s Gins will be well pleased. Wm. Gunn. Let this certify that I have used one of Mr. Thos. Wynne’s make of cotton gins for the last two years, and it performs to my entire satisfaction ; and, as an evidence of its good performance, I always get the highest market price for my cotton. As yet there is no perceptible wear on the breast of the gin,.which is a proof of itsrdurabilitv. A few weeks ago I was in Mr. 1\ W vnne’s Machine Shop, and saw gins in all stages of progression, from the beginning to the finish, and from the good materials that were put in them and the faithful workmanship, 1 could recommend as first-rate gins. Attached to these gins are water boxes and oil feeders, which make them fire-proof from friction. But they have another proof, 1 think, (at least mine has it,) which is not. the least of all proofs and proper ties of gins, viz: they are negro proof; for all the awkwardness and carelessness of a negro won’t put them out of order. N. B. This certificate was unsolicited by Mr. T. Wynne. Peteb Knox. Washington, April 2, 1844. —Mr. Wynne: Dear Sir—l certify that the gin I bought of you in 1834, ten years ago, has ginned for me between 1000 and 1100 balesoi cotton. I have used no other gin, have not had it whetted or repaired, and it is yet in good order. I would recommend Mr. Wynne’s gin to farmers, as one of the best to be obtained. Wm. Slaton. Columbia County, Ga., January, 1848. —I am using one of Mr. Thomas Wynne’s cotton Gins, and cheerfully pronounce it the best I ever used before, and I have had several built by men of experience in the business Edward Ballard. H ilkescounty, Ga., July 14, 1848. —I do here by certify that I purchased a Fire-Proof Cotton Gin from Mr. Thos. Wynne, of Columbia county, Ga., which gin runs free from heat, as much so as any gin that I ever saw, and will run as long without heating. The said gin performs well; it picks the seeds clean, leaves a fine staple, and moats well, leaving no cotton among the moats. I therefore feel it my duty to re commend the said gins to the public. Bradford S. Arnett. Oglethorpe county, Ga., March 31, 184'4.

For sev eral years past we have been able to sell all the fine Friction Roller Gins at $3 per saw, which we could make, without the aid of a travelling agent. lie have made the gins, and theg'ins, or rather the cot ton ginned by them have sold others as fast as we could make them. We have not been content in be ing able to sell, but it has been our aim to continue to improve. Each year the demand has increased, and dj our fine gins have been used, we think we can af firm the planter has realized increased profits. It has been truly said that the finest article of cotton ever offered in the Savannah market has been raised in Hancock county. The crops of several individ uals have been esteemed of this character. Some have had ofl’ers for the entire crop, to be grown, at the highest prices, an I in every instance our gins have been used to produce this fine article. When cotton is low J cent, per lb. in price tells in a moderate crop. We think we can safely’ affirm that in every instance where planters have managed their crops neatly and ginned on our gins, they have received the very highest market value—in many instances J ct. over the highest market price. It has been said Dy some persons, interested in lessening the character of our gins, that they do not stand*, s high in Hancock county as they have done. Wrs hould think this a great mistake, from the fact < increased demand in the county’. We know many opposed buying at first on account of the price, but we are assured from the increased sale and from gratuitous commendations of our gins, that the far mers are beginning to view it good economy to buy of us. We are also seldom able to sell a common gin, which we make as low as other gin-makers. Our last year’s gins have given even greater satisfaction than any we have ever made before. We will deliver to purchaseis, at $3 per saw, our fine Friction-R<»ller Gins ; or common kind from $2 to 82.50, as in qual ity. Ail communications will be immediately an swered. G. T.
