OGLESBY & BROTHER S ANTI FRICTION GINS. Sparta, Georgia. WE OFFER to the public the above article. From fifteen years experience and labor in making Cotton Gins, we are of opinion that there is little room left for improvement on the above article. The materials are of the best quality, portions of the wmrk of every gin passing through our shop are done by G. T. Oglesby. Our charges for the above article are higher than any others charge for Cotton Gins. We sell the finest article we make at three dollars per saw'; but if our price is different, our Gins are dif ferent, and so is the price of cotton ginned on them. Most of the planters have heretofore complained that cotton buyers are so choice in the article, that they will acknowledge none to be worth the highest quotations now r . It is not uncommon for sellers of cotton ginned by our gins to obtain one quarter of a cent per pound over the highest quotations, as various certificates will show. An impression has gone abroad prejudicial to our | interest in one particular; it is believed by many we I make no other articles than our Ericlion Roller Gins, and for which we charge three dollars. We shall keep on hand and also execute to order a superior f.rticle of plain gins, which will he sold for less money, and will make equally fine cotton. Wo are determined to suit every class of purchasers. We will sell a plain article as low as can be desired by those w ho are not content with price alone. All orders addressed to us at Sparta, Ga., will be immediately attended to. CERTIFICATES. Augusta, April 6th, 184 b. —G. 7’. Oglesby, Esq. —Dear Sir : —I have examined several crops of cotton ginned by your make of gins, and take pleasure in recommending them to the planters of Georgia, as ! equal to any I have seen in the State. Very respectfully yours, M. M. DY E. Savannah, April 30 th, 1846. —The uudersignod, Factors and Commission Merchants, take pleasure in | stating that the best cotton they have received or seen, j during the present season, w'as from the plantation of j gentlemen residing in the county of Hancock, who use sins manufactured by G. T. Oglesby, of said j county. It has, in every instance, commanded the ! highest market price, and very frequently a quarter to I half a cent above thejhighest quotations. We cheer fully recommend them to our planting friends. RABUN <fc PULTON J. L. SWINNEY. Air. Oglesby — Sir: —l have just finished ginning my j crop of cotton, on one of your Friction Roller Gins and i 1 take great pleasure in statin? that it has performed | to my entire satisfaction. The cotton ginned on it i being freer from motes and trash, and the quality of | the staple less injured than that ginned on any other j gin 1 have ever used. 1 have not yet sold my crop of i cotton, but I feel confident of obtaining the best market price for if. Y'ours respectfully, April 7, 1846. RICHARD P. SASNETT. 1 have used one of Mr. Oglesby’s Friction Roller j Cotton Gins, and hesitate not in saying that his gins I are superior to any gins that I have ever seen. Dur- I ing the past season my cotton has commanded the i highest market price, and in several instances has i obtained one-eighth of a cent more than the highest j Savannah quotations. His gins are superior to any I j have ever seen, in taking out trash anil motes, &,c., j and will, in my judgment, make cotton, from the same | quality of seed cotton, that will command from one j eighth to a quarter of a cent more than any other gins. Sparta, April 7, IS4G. THOS. M. TURNER. I do hereby certify that I bought one of Messrs. G. I T. Oglesby & Brother’s Anti-Friction Gins iu 1844, on which I have ginned about 175 bales of cotton, and 1 do say that 1 have been a cotton planter fur upwards of fifty years, and I have used many pins, but I have no hesitation in saying that the Oplesby pin is decided ly the best gin I have ever used, or that I ever saw used. I always sell my cotton for the highest market price iu Augusta, and the merchants there give my cotton the praise of being a superior article. I have ginned in sjx days fourteen bales, all in daylight, and I consider the gin none the worse for wear. JOHN 11. BROUGHTON. Green County , Ga., April 12, 1846. We have used and seen in operation for several vears I past Mr. G. T. Oglesby’s Gins, and from some ex perience in cotton ginning, are well satisfied that they ■ are the best we have ever seen in use. F. D. GONDER, MARK GONDEH. I certify that 1 have one of Mr. G. T. Oglesby’s Gins, and that I consider it superior to any Gin that I ; have ever seen. A liberal patronage of the public will j not be withheld from him when the character of his ; gins are know n. 1 was induced to purchase one from the character given to him by Commission Mer chants of Augusta. 1 have abandoned for his a ein which I had only used two years, and consider that 1 w r as compensated for purchasing by the difference be tween the two in ginning my last crop. April 13, 1846. ' J. M. GONDER. Augusta, April 8, 1846.—G. T. Oglesby, Esq.— I Yours of tiie 30th ult., inquiring w hether we had re ceived any cotton the past season ginned by your “Improved Gin,” came direct to hand, and would have been replied to earlier but for the press of business. We have received but one crop rt»i» ocaijoii, itiat we know of, which vre /tad sampled after the receipt of your letter, for the purpose of ascertaining its merits, and we congratulate you upon the decision of several of our most experienced judges, who, after comparing it with the best brands in the city, decided that it was inferior to none. We have since sold the crop, and are satisfied that the ginning enhanced its value, from a quarter to half of a cent per pound. W 3 would advise you to make no more improve ments; your '•'■lmproved Gin,” is good enough, and can’t fail to give the most general satisfaction. Respectfully, DAWSON & WEAVER. Savannah, 26 th November, 1845. — Mr. Oglesby — Dear Sir; Know'iug that there w'ere great improve ments going on iu the way of gin making, I have put off buying U now one for a year past, for the purpose of testing the gins of different makers by samples of their cotton. 1 have examined various samples of cotton in this market, and find that your gins give decidedly the best of any that I saw. I wish you to make me one of your best friction roller gins of fifty' saws, and have it ready by the next crop. Respectfully, W. R. BATTLE. Hancock, Ga., 7th April, 1846. —I do hereby cer tify that 1 have used one of G. T. Oglesby’s Improved Friction Roller Cotton Gins, and find if to come fully up to my expectations every way. My Commission Merchant in Augusta spoke in the highest terms of the manner in whirl* it was ginned, and sold it for the highest prices. GEORGE W. CULVER. Sparta Ga., 7th April, 1846.—Mr. Oglesby'— Sir: I have ginned one hundred bales of cotton on the improved Friction Roller Gin I bought of you, and am well pleased with its performance. My factor w’rote me that it was well ginned. I prefer them to any gin I have seen. Yours respectfully. JOSEPH R. SASNETT. Hancock, Ga., 7th April, 1846. —This is to certify that I have ginned on one of G. T. Oglesby’s im proved Friction Roller Cotton Gins about one hundred and fifty bales of cotton, and am fully satisfied that they are the best gins now in use. It runs lighter and cooler, and wears less than any gin I have ever used. H. C. CULVER. Sparta, Ga., April 15 th, 1846. ap2s-lyw GRISWOLD’S IMPROVED COTTON GINS.

No expense will be spared to sustain their high reputation, and render them still more perfect if possible.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1847, Tlie American Army In Campaign. The Adjutant General of the U. S. Annv makes the following report to the Secretary of i War, giving the present condition of the Ameri ; cart army in campaign : The army in Mexico has been augmented during the year by recruits and detachments of regular troops, drawn from various points, and j by numerous regiments of twelve months ! volunteers. The land forces employed in prosecuting the I war may be estimated as follows: Regulars. i In the field, officers and men, including general ! staff 6,613 i Troops at sea, and under orders to join the army, 1.098 Recruits en route for the seat of war 762 Aggregate regulars in campaign 8,472 Volunteers. j In the field 15,745 ' At sea, for California 766 Aggregate volunteers in campaign 16,511 The regular force on active field service is composed of the following regiments ; Ist Dragoons, 8 companies, 560 } . 2d do. 10 do. 723 S Ist Artillery, 8 do. 609 j 2d do. 9 do. 737 I 0 - nr 3d do. 8 do. 660 f I 4th do. 8 do. 650 !

On the 21st of September, it appears by the statement then submitted to the Secretary of War, that the volunteer force in the field, (12 months men) amounted to 23,161 officers and men, exclusive of the general officers and staff provided for the irregular troops. This force, it is seen, does not now exceed 16,500, if the data upon which the strength of the annv is based be tolerably correct. Distribution of the Army in Campaign.

O I this force (24,984) 8,473 are of the regular army, and 16,511 volunteers. The achievements of every division and : battalion in the field have nobly sustained the j character of the regular army. In the day of i battle the efficiency and skill displayed only ■ equalled the expectations of those best ac quainted with its high state of discipline, Arc. The victories won and the graves of the fallen I attest the ability and valor of the veterans of the other war, as well as of younger officers— i eleves of the National Academy and others. The volunteer troops won unlading laurels in the sanguinary battle of Monterey, Their gallantry was conspicuous wherever duty called. Many fell in the action. The destination of a part of the troops reported “en route for Alexico” for the army nuclei Major General Taylor lias been sudden ly changed ; and it is also probable that detach ments have been drawn from the lower Grande i for Tampico, which reduced the force reported under the immediate orders of that General. But the additional volunteer force recently called into the service will soon he pushed for ward in the direction of the Rio Grande. Os the force reported us under the order of Brigadier General Kearney, one company of the third regiment of artillery embarked at New York for Monterey, California, July 14th. j and the New York regiment of volunteers for | the same destination embarked 25th September. The Brigadier reported, October 6fh, that he was cn route for that country from Santa Fe. with two companies of the first regiment (.1 dragoons, deeming that force (with the several officers of the staff who accompany him) adequate for the service in view.
