COTTON GINSi~ IMPROVED ON WHAT WAS BEFORE CONSIDERED PERFECT. lIIAV E heretofore labored that my cotton gins should be thought superior to any r manufactured in Georgia. By otic ring to the public such an article 1 have been libei illy jKttronized, for which 1 feel grate lul. 1 have w. rranted all my fine gins. 1 have never hud one returned as not coming up to what 1 promised. It is know n 1 have, and do promise that my gins make superior cotton. 1 have no travelling agents. I rely on my gins tell ing a better tale for me, and one that will be sooner believed than a travelling agent; in short, I hope lo make my gins sell themselves. 1 feel confident in stating that 1 have made valuable im provements in my tine gins, and that I shall hereafter furnish an improved gin to anything heretofore sold. 1 would also inform citizens of Warren, Washington Wilkes, Columbia and Burke counties, that I have purchased Sin pson’s improvement lor band machin ery, 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, ifee ot charge. It will require a small outlay of ma terial on the band wheel, which will be furnished at the low est possible rate, and which, when used, re duces the draft to an astonishing extent; me character ol the improvement is simply by propelling the ma chinery by a slack band, instead of u tight one. My finest Friction Roller Gins are sold at $3 per saw. My plain g ins are also greatly improved, and will be sold according to kind, from $2 to $2.50 per saw. My finest gins have heretofore sold higher than oilier gins, and yet, heretofore, I have not been able lo supply the demand, whilst I have been unable to sell but few plain gins. Orde'rsor letters, addressed to me ulSparta, will be promptly attended to, and gins delivered at purchasers’ residences, free of charge. GARRETT T. OGLESBY £ BROTHER. Sparta , April 3. Certificates. Shoals of Ogeechee, Ga., March 17th, 1817. G. T. Oglesby, Esq. — Dear Sir: Below 1 hand my certificate, agreeably lo your request, slating pre cisely the opinion 1 entertain of their superiority over any 1 hare ever seen. 1 have also obtained the cer lilicate ol Mr. Wilson, our Superintendent and Ma chinist, who is the best judge ol the quality of cotton, as he ‘chews the bag.’ Veiy respectfully, your friend truly, Thos. Oheeley. tSUoals of Ogeechee, Ga , 1847.—This is to certi fy that I have used two of Mr. G. T. Oglesby’s Anti- Friction Cotton Gins, (the one 60 and the other 45 saws.) for several years, and can truly say they are superior to any thing of the kind now in use; and form an exception to what is sai<t about this being an age of improvement, at least as far as gin making is concerned. Thomas Cheeley. brothers’ Factory, Shoals of Ogeechee, March 17 th, 1847. —This is to certify that one ol G. T. Oglesby’s 60 saw Anti-Friction Colton Gins is now, and has been in use for the last fourteen months at this place, and I can say with confidence that it is the best article of the kind that 1 have yet seen. B. J. Wilson, Sup’t and Practical Machinist. Savannah, March 10 th, 1847 The undersigned, durng the past season, have frequently noticed the superiority of cotton, received Irom those planters who use gins manufactured by G. T. Oglesby, Esq., of Sparta, over that from other gins. It has invariably commanded the highest price, and very Ifequemly one-lburlh of a cent, per pound more than other cot tons of the same class. Rabun <& Fulton, J. L. SwiNNEY. Augusta, February 27 th, 1847. —The undersigned Factors and Commission Merchants, take pleasure in recommending to the planters generally, G. T. Ogles by <jz Brother’s improved make of gins, and do not hesitate to say that the cotton ginned on them is equal to any received in this market, and in every instance commands from an £ to £ c. above highest quotations, and in point of durability think they cannot be sur passed. Dye & Robertson. February 1 st, 1847.—This is to certny that 1 nave now in use one ol Oglesby’s improved cotton gins, and that 1 consider it altogether superior to any gin 1 ever used, running easy and making the cotton fine and clear ol motes. Wu. Tenell. Sparta, February 15 th, 1847. —This is to certify that I have owned one of Mr. Oglesby’s improved cotton gins for two years, and can safely recommend his gins for two reasons. The first, that they do not cut the lint or staple as other gins. The next, I con sular them the most durable gins that I have ever used. M. G. Harris. Augusta, February 26th, 1847.—We take pleasure in recommending to planters generally', Messrs. Ogles by & Brother’s improved cotton gins, and do not hesi tate to say the cotton ginned on them is equal to any received in this market, and will always command the highest quotations. Doughty & Beall. Adams, Hopkins & Co. Heard Davison. February 20lh, 1847. —We do certity, that we have used for the last two years Mr. G. T. Oglesby’s Anti-Friction Gins, and are decidedly of the opinion that they are the best gins now in use in this Stale, both for the fineness of the cotton and their durability, and take great pleasure in recommending them to our brother-farmers generally. Richard P. Sasnett. Edward L. Barne. Joseph R. Sasnett. John P. Sykes, John L. Birdsong. Wilson Bird. Thos. M. Turner. We have used these gins for one season with un equaled success. ap3-wtl 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 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 icspects. 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 <fe 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.

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. 1 sold my 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 1 have purchased a Cotton Gin from Messrs. U inship, 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 ol the Carver Gins, but would give this Gin the decided preference over them. HIRAM WALTON Jasper Cos-nty, August 21 fll-wtMlilO*4B 1 DR. BANNING’S BODY BRACE.

Press on ! tliere’s no such word as fail; Press nobly on ! ihe goal is near— A<cend the mountain! breast the gale! Look upward, onward—never (ear! Wby should’ st thou faint ? Heaven smiles above, Though storm and vapor intervene; That sun shines on, w hose name is Love, Serenely o’er life’s shadowed scene. Press on! surmount the rocky steep*. Climb boldly o’er the torrent’s arch — He tails alone who feebly creeps— He wins who dares the hero’s march. Be thou a hero! let thy might Tramp on eternal snows its way. And through the ebon walls of Night Hew down a passage unto Day. Press on ! if once and twice thy feet Slip back and stumble, harder try; From him who never dreads to meet Danger and Death, they’re sure to fly. To coward ranks the bullet speeds, While on their breasts who never quail Gleams (guardian of chivalric deeds) Bright courage like a coat of mail. Press on ! if Fortune play thee lalse To day, to-morrow she’ll be true; NN horn now she .-inks she now exalts, Taking old gills and granting new. The wisdom of the present hour Makes up for follies past and gone — To weakness strength succeeds, and power From frailty springs—press on ! press on ! Press on! what though upon the ground Thy love has been poured on* like rain 7 1 hat happiness is always found The sweetest which is born of pain. Oft ’mid the forest’s deepest glooms A bird sings from some blighted tree, And in the dreariest desert blooms A never-dying rose for thee. Therefore press on! and reach the goal, And gain the prize, and wear the crown ; Faint not! for to the steadfast soul Come wealth, and honor, and renown. To thine own self be true, and keep Thy mint! from sloth, thy heart from soil : Press on ! and thou shall surely reap A heavenly harvest for thy toil! Myra Clark. Gaines. The editors of the National Intelligencer have been permitted to copy the following ex tract from a letter written by a member of Congress to a friend in New York, describing the scene in the Supreme Court of the United States, on the occasion of Judge Wayne’s de livering the final decree in the great case of Mrs. Gaines, and which we take great pleasure in republishing: The great case is at last decided, and Mrs. Gaines ts fully vindicated and sustained by the highest tribunal on the earth. I was present when Judge Wayne read the decree in her fa vor. The court room was crowded to over flowing with the wit, beauty and fashion of the city; while immediately opposite the Chief Justice sal Clay, Webster, Jones, (Waller.) Johnson and others—all listening with inien.-e anxiety to hearthe final decision, which proves, alter all, that “law is as the music of the spheres, and her seat the bosom of God!” As the Judge proceeded to read the decree the audience became breathless and silent as death, ihe form of the lovely and accom plished Mrs. Gaines was bent forward catching every sound as it fell; while every eye was riveted upon her, and every heart throbbed in unison with her own. As the Judge proceetled it became manifest that there was an earthly tri bunal before which the rights of the child, the mother, and the wife could be protected, and every heart was moved, and every eye was lighted up with gladness and delight. I he decree was concluded ; and there arose a scene 1 shall never forget, and which lan guage fails to convey. The immense audience arose, as if actuated by one impulse, encircling the noble woman—each emulating the other in the eflort to grasp her hand and congratulate her upon the result, which proves that “justice, though slow, is, in the end, certain.” II l had the pen of inspiration, I might de scribe the scene. I cannot. The wife of the gallant soldier sat unmoved, until she felt con scious ol her trinmpii; and then, the, ico/neni , with all her pent-up tenderness, stood revealed, in ihe burning tears that rolled down her cheeks, as if in humility and thankfulness to God ! The sentiment that pervades this community is one of heartfelt rejoicing—all doing honor to her who, with unshaken energy, has vindicated her own rights without trenching upon those of others. Her lofty character is now under stood and properly appreciated, for she is ac knowledged to be of that class who would brave the fury ofthe elements to kneel by a pallet of straw in the wintry midnight, bringing the gallant soldier consolation amid his perse cution, and brightening his passage to the grave in the blessed hope of re-uuiou hereafter !
