CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. MISCELLANEOUS. Kenilworth Castle. —A correspondent of the U. S. Gazette gives a lively summary of the venerable ruins of Kenilworth ; “ From Coventry to Kenilworth Castle is six miles. The village of Kenilworth is of no im portance. The old castle is situated on a rising ground above the town. Your readers are too familiar with it to need a detailed description.— Its brief history is that it was founded in the 12th century, existed five hundred years, the theatre of power and pleasure, chivalry and barbarism, feasting and conflict, until it was dismantled by the officers of Cromwell in the 17th century.— All the tales of romance have had their realiza tion within these ruined walls in some period of their history. “ Its outer walls, enclosing seven acres, are nearly annihilated. The castle itself was the beau ideal of the ancient Baron. Vast in ex tent, massive—its walls being from six to eight feet thick—lofty, filled with feasting halls, guard rooms and dungeons for friend and foe—near ly inaccessible to an enemy by surrounding wa ter, and easy to provision in a country of un surpassed fertility—it was the Paradise of its possessors. There is nothing in history more romantic than Lanemand’s account of the seven teen days entertainment of Queen Elizabetli at Kenilworth by her favorite the Earl of Leicester. He stopped the castle clock at 2 P. M., the din ing hour, that his royal guest might have no thing to remind her of the flight of time during her stay. He expended £IOOO per day on the Queen and her thirty-one Barons, besidcstheir ladies and four hundred attendants. The bill of fare shows the habits of our ancestors. Beer drank during the visit three hundred and twen ty hogsheads, besides wines and liquors—the daily consumption being sixteen hogsheads of wine, forty hogsheads of beer, and ten oxen slaughtered every morning. As 1 roam over these desolate halls, or stand on the crumbling tower, this scene of extravagance and debauchery rises before me. “ There is the grand banqueting hall—there is the royal dormitory—there is the tilt yard, where knightsstrove and ladies smiled from the balcony above, on mangled limbs and stream ing blood. There is the garden with a few an cient trees, where Lords and high born dames sauntered and intrigued and whispered love and scandal. The same heavens are above—the same walks below—the same gentle river gleams in the sun and chimes its melody on its pebbly banks—but where is the noble Leicester and royal and noble guests 7 They are beggar ed to common dust and the palace of their ca rousal is a lonely solitude—a sublime and state ly, but steadily wasting ruin. The hall of the porter and the ample kitchen, the apartments of the domestics, alone survive to teach the great, the rich, the pleasure-loving and proud, the vanity oflofty positions and how surely time tramples down earthly distinctions. As a ruin Kenilworth is perfect. Enough is left organised, massive and beautiful, to show what it was, and every where the wasting wall and crumbling tower and creeping ivy give full effect to the impression of its decay. The quiet repose of its position—the sweet lawn which carpets its courts on which a few sheep are feeding —its ample garden, with the remnant of expensive taste in ages p;ust combined with pre sent semi-neglect—the richness and magnitude of the ivy which clambers to the very top and there floats in triumph in the breeze —the case of access to every part produce to most pleas ing and melancholy efiect upon the mind of the beholder. How to prosper in business. —In the first place, make up your mind to accomplish what ever you undertake, decide upon some partic ular employment, persevere in it. All difficul ties are overcome by diligence and assidui ty- „ -X Be not afraid to work with your hands, and diligently too. “A cat in gloves catches no mice.” “He who remains in the mill, grinds, not he who goes and conies.” Attend to your business, and never trust it to another. “A pot that belongs to many, is ill stirred and worse boiled.” Be frugal. “That which will not make a pot, will make a pot-lid.” “Save the pence, and the pounds will take care of themselves.” Be abstemious. “Who dainties love, shall s®* ? a f S u prove ” early. “The sleeping x. -a ches no poultry.” “Plow deep while andkeep ” WeP ’ a " d you will have coru to sell Ev?n^hin V . e 7° UeW 1 iU ‘ aspect and civility, lesy “Cadt gamed iand nothing lost by cour ier anti? success.’’ butjlabor; espLciaUv^ from any source P any never place dependence upon becoming the possessor ofan inheritance, j ‘•He who waits for dead men’s shoes, may have I to go for a long time barefoot.” “He who runs after a shadow, has a wearisome race.” Above all things never despair. “God is where he was.” “Heaven helps those who help themselves.” Follow implicitly these pre cepts, and nothing can hinder you from accu mulating. —Portland Tribune. Virtue.—The everlasting hills will crumble to dust, but the influence of a good act will never die. The earth will grow old and per ish, but virtue in the heart will be ever green and flourish throughout eternity. The moon and stars will grow dim, and the sun roll from the heavens, but true religion and undefiled will grow brighter and brighter, and not cease to exist while God himself shall live. The London Correspondent of the Journal of Commerce says that a British merchant at Montevideo has recently concluded a contract with the British government lor the purchase of half a million acres of land on the East land of the Falkland Islands, with the right over the wild cattle for six years, for which he pays £(50.000 sterling and is to deliver to the Gover nor 20,000 sheep, and stock of different kinds, for breeding. Within the said time he is to im port GOO tame cows Efforts are making to set tle these islands by emigration from Eng land. Bustncoo Cari>o. To Professional & Business Men.

THIS COMPANY have declared a dividend of 50 per cent, on the amount of nett earned premiums for the year ending in June, which has been passed respectively to the credit of their customers. In order that the advantages of Life Insurance may j be extended to those persons who may find it incon venient to pay the whole amount of the premium in cash, it has been determined by the Board of Trustees that in all cases where the annual premium shall amount to SSO, sixty per cent, of the premium only will be required in cash, the remaining forty per cent, in an approved note, payable twelve months afterdate 1 bearing interest at six per cent. The interest on the note must be paid annually; but the principal will not be called in unless the exigencies of the Company require it, and then only by rateable assessments to the extent that may be needed to meet their engage ments —in which case sixty days notice will be given. It is confidently anticipated that a system, the opera tion of which is so fair and equitable, so well calcu lated to place the benefits of Life Insurance within the reach of all, and at the same time enable each contributor to share equally in its security and profits, will meet, as it is believed to deserve, the favor and confidence of the public. The particular advantages offered by this company are: 1. A guarantee-capital. 2. An annual participation in the profits. 3. No individual responsibility beyond the amount of premium. 4. Those who insure for a shorter period than life, participate equally in the annual profits of the Com pany- The Nautilus Company confines its business ex clusively to Insurance on Lives.

G. T. OGLESBY & BROTHER’S ANTI FRICTION GINS. Sparta, Georgia. WK OFFER to the public the above article. From fifteen years experience and labor in making Cotton Gins, we are of that there is little room left for improvement on tliS above article. The materials are of the best quality, portions of the work of every gin passing through our shop are done by G. T. Oglesby. Our charges for the above article are higher than any others charge for Cotton Gins. 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. 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 ta our interest in one particular; it is believed by many, we make no other articles than our Friction Holler Gins, and for which we charge three dollars. We shall keep on hand and also execute to order a superior article of plain gins , which will be sold for less money, and will make equally fine cotton. We are determined to suit every class of purchasers. We will sell a plain article as low as can be desired by those who are not content with price alone. All orders addressed to us at Sparta, Ga., will be immediately attended to. CERTIFICATES. Augusta, April 6th, 1846. — G. T. Oglesby, Esq. —Dear Sir; —l have examined several crops of cotton ginned by your make of gins, and take pleasure in recommending them to the planters of Georgia, as equal to any I have seen in the State. Very respectfully yours, M. M. DYE. Savannah, April 3 Oth, 1846.—The undersigned, Factors and Commission Merchants, take pleasure in stating that the best cotton they have received or seen, during the present season, was from the plantation of gentlemen residing in the county of Hancock, who use gins manufactured by G. T. Oglesby, of said county. It has, in every instance, commanded the highest market price, and very frequently a quarter to half a cent above thejhighest quotations. We cheer fully recommend them to our planting friends. RABUN & FULTON, J. L. SWINNEY. Air. Oglesby — Sir: —I have just finished ginning my crop of cotton, on one of your Friction Roller Gins, and I take great pleasure in stating that it has performed to my entire satisfaction. The cotton ginned on it being freer from motes and trash, and the quality of the staple less injured than that ginned on any other gin I have ever used. I have not yet sold my crop of potton, but 1 feel confident of obtaining the best market crice for it. Yours respectfully, April!, 1846. RICHARD P. SASNETT. I have used one of Mr. Oglesby’s Friction Roller Cotton Gins, and hesitate not in saying that his gins are superior to any gins that I have ever seen. Dur ing the past season my cotton has commanded the highest market price, and in several instances has obtained one-eighth of a cent more than the highest Savannah quotations. His gins are superior to any I have ever seen, in taking out trash and motes, &c., and will in my judgment, make cotton, from the same quality of seed cotton, that will command from one eighth to a quarter of a cent more than any other gins. Sparta, April 7, 1846. THOS. M. TURNER. I do hereby certify that I bought one of Messrs. G. T. Oglesby &. Brother’s Anti-Friction Gins in 1844, on w T hich 1 have ginned about 175 bales of cotton, and I do say that I have been a cotton planter for upwards of fifty years, and I have used many gins, but I have no hesitation in saying that the Oglesby gin is decided ly the best gin 1 have ever used, or that I ever saw used. I always sell my cotton for the highest market price in Augusta, and the merchants there give my cotton the praise of being a superior article. I have ginned in six days fourteen bales, all in daylight, and I consider the gin none the worse for wear. JOHN H. BROUGHTON. Green County, Ga., April 12, 1846. We have used and seen in operation for several years past Mr. G. T. Oglesby’s Gins, and from some ex perience in cotton ginning, are w ell satisfied that they are the best we have ever seen in use. F. D. GONDER, MARK GONDER. I certify that I 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 not be withheld from him when the character of his gins are known. I was induced to purchase one from the character given to him by Commission Mer chants of Augusta. I have abandoned for his a gin which I had only used two years, and consider that I was compensated for purchasing by the difference he tween the two in ginning my last crop. April 13, 1846. J. M. GONDER. Augusta, April 8, 1846. —G. T, Oglesby, Esq.— Yours of the 30th ult., inquiring whether we had re ceived any cotton the past season ginned by your “Improved Gin,” came direct to hand, and would have been replied to earlier but for the press of business. We have received but one crop this season, that we know of, which we had 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. Ws would advise you to make no more improve ments; your “ Improved Gin,” is good enough, and can’t fail to give the most general satisfaction. Respectfully, DAWSON & WEAVER. Savannah, 26th November, 1845.—Mr. Oglesby— Dear Sir: Knowing that there were great improve ments going on in the way of gin making, I have put off buying a new one for a year past, for the purpose of testing the gins of different makers by samples of their cotton. I have examined various samples of cotton in this market, and find that your gins give decidedly the best of any that I saw. 1 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., Ith April, 1846.—1 do hereby cer tify that I have used one of G. T. Oglesby’s Improved Friction Roller Cotton Gins, and find it to come fully up to my expectations every way. My Commission Merchant in Augusta spoke in the highest terms of the manner in which it was ginned, and sold it for the highest prices. GEORGE W. CULVER. Sparta Ga., Ith April, 1846. —Mr. Oglesby— Sir: 1 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 wrote me that it was well ginned. I prefer them to any gin I have seen. Yours respectfully, JOSEPH R. SASNETT. Hancock, Ga., Ith 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 1 have ever used. H - c - CULVER. Sparta , Ga., April 15 th, 1846. ap2s-lyw GRISWOLD’S IMPROVED COTTON GINS THE SUBSCRIBER will continue the MANUFACTURE OF THESE GINS at his old establishment in CLINTON, JONES COUNTY, GEORGIA. He can offer no better recommendations in favor of his gins, than the fact of having supplied more than Twelve Hundred planters with them during the last two years, while no other factory has probably sold in the State as many as one hundred during the same time. No expense will be spared to sustain their high reputation, and render them still more perfect if possible. They will be warranted as usual to perform well, and delivered at the purchaser’s residence. Engage ments can be made with his travelling agents, or by letter directed to him a P 2B-tf SAMUEL GRISWOLB.
