WE STILL CONTINUE to manufacture Cotton Gins of the very finest order. 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. We have made the gins, and the gins, 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 as 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 offers for the entire crop, to be grown, at the highest prices, and in every instance our gins have been used to produce this fine article. When cotton is low £ 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 £ ct. over the highest market pries. It has been said by some persons, interested in lessening the character of our gins, that they do not stand', shigh in Hancock county as they have done. Wes hould think this a great mistake, from the fact r *a 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 beginni g 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 io purchasers, at $3 per saw, our fine Friction-Roller Gins ; or common kind from $2 to $2.50, as in qual ity. All communications will be immediately an swered. G. T. OGLEBY & BROTHER. Sparta, April 3d, 1848. CERTIFICATES: Sparta, April 3 d, 1848. —We have bought and used the fine Friction-Roller Gins made by G. T. Ogleby & Brother. His gins possess great durabil ity ; the workmanship is of the very finest order. The cotton ginned by them, as to quality, has met our most sanguine expectations, and has in every instance come up to what he has promised. As we have been enabled to realize prices higher than from common gins, we think it is economy to buy his fine gins. Thos, M. Turner, John T. Berry, Charles R. Knowles, Wilson Bird, John P.

TO THE COTTON PLANTERS OP GEORGIA. JL ture his superior IMPROVED COTTON GINS, at bisfretory in Morgan county, on his usual exten sive scale. The liberal patronage he has received for he last few years has induced him this year to go to great additional expense in making preparations to fur nish the Planters with Gins far superior to any here tofore made. Those who wish it can have them with SUPERIOR WATER BOXES, which will prevent the possibility oftheir taking fire by friction. He also continues to use his OIL CUPS OR FEEDERS, which h<i was the first to introduce in this State, and which saves much trouble in oiling. The superiority of his Gins has been fully tested for the last few years in making fine cotton, and in ginning as fast as could be reasonably required, the cotton from them bringing the highest price in all the markets; and he trusts by anremitiing attention to business, that he will contin ue to receive the liberal patronage of the cotton planters of this State, which it will be his highest ambition to merit. Contracts for his Gins may be made with his travelling agents, or by writing to him at Madison, where all orders will be promptly attended to, and his Gins are warranted to perform well in all respects, if used according to the directions sent with each Gin, and will be delivered at the purchaser’s residence.

A Western Flower. strange Flower. —One day last week some men who were working upon our streets broke a stone in two in which was found a beautiful purple flower, with some green leaves, as fresh in appearance, and as soft to the touch as though it had been grown in a green house. How it came there is a mystery to us. The stone had been in our streets for twelve years. But the flower was evidently in the stone when quarried. Perhaps it had been there from “ time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary,”—aye, for aught we know, it is an antediluvian flower. Mr. S. S. Young says “the flower resembles the Hibiscus spe cies; but the leaf is more nearly the rose, but is not exactly like any flower now a native of this country, nor indeed like any exotic culti vated here.” He adds: “it most probably grew in the hole of the rock, where it, now is; but the rock must have been earth when it grew.” —Eaton ( Ohio ) Register. ] Strange flower! how like to mine own “dream!” Enshrined in rock displacing earth, Blooming, without one sunny beam, Freshly as when love watched its birth. No fading floweret of an hour— Allied unto no fragile rose, — A lone, unique,[rock-buried flower, It hath no like—none elsewhere grows. The frail hibiscus opes its eye But to the rosy glance of morn— Its fate, with morning’s blush to die, — For evanescence only born. The rose demands, of Heaven, air— Sunshine of day —of evening, dew— Then scatters all its petals fair Unto the earth whence first it grew. But the strange flower—encased in rock, On which man’s foot hath careless trod, Lives on as it had felt no shock, — And owned no pressure —but its God ! Is this its registry of birth In ages now forever gone ? And was it brought to light on earth Only to find itself—“o/one.” The hand that reckless broke the stone, Thought not within there lived a flower! A blossom, disentombed to moan The loneliness which is its dower. Earth’s dower to all those misplaced things, Those strong, unsought, unyielding ties, In souls where time—scarce Heaven—brings Aught else that seem realities! Value of the Sciences. —The Journal of Commerce has an article on Electro-Magne tism, and the use made of the power by Pro fessors Henry and Morse. To show the prac tical use of a study of such a science, the Jour nal says : “ We are reminded in this connection of an anecdote related to us by one of the most emi nent counsellors in this State, which, while it illustrates our remarks, pays a very just com pliment to the learning of Prof. Henry. It is known to scientific men that the field of this gentleman’s most extensive and important in vestigalions and discoveries, has been Electri city. In the course of trial of a cause in the city of Albany, said Judge , I was em piojou uv uirf j —n_J Henry, then in the Albany Academy, to give the court and jury some information in regard to the variations of the magnetic needle. I was surprised and interested at the clear, dignified and forcible character ofhis testimony, and the readiness with which he explained the most difficult points. So much was I interested, that I made ray notes of his testimony very full, and after the conclusion of the cause, I filed them away with the papers. Many years later I was employed in a cause in Albany county, which originated in the variation of the land marks from those laid down in the old deeds. — Six country surveyors had been employed to run the lines, and none could hit the old marks We examined them all, day after day, and could reach no result. It occurred tome to open the testimony of Prof. Henry, which I had forgotten for years. 1 took it into court with me, and selecting the most intelligent of the surveyors, I asked him a series of ques tions framed on that testimony. His replies were satisfactory. I then requested him to take a pencil, and giving him certain data from ray notes, I requested him to calculate what his line would have been under such and such circum stances, variations, &c. He spent a long time in the calculations, but the result was to con form the old deeds. All were astonished hut myself.” “A better illustration of the utility of many studies and discoveries which appear at first to be useless, could not be asked.” Teach Your Children Music. —“ You will stare at a strange notion of mine ; if it appears even a mad one, do not wonder. Had 1 child ren, my utmost endeavors should be to breed them musicians. Considering I have no ear, nor even thought of music, the preference seems odd, and it is embraced on frequent re flection. In short, madam, as my aim would be to make them happy, I think it the most probable method. It is a resource which will last them theirlives, unless they grow deaf; it depends on themselves, not on others ; always amuses and soothes, if not consoles; and of all fashionable pleasures, is the cheapest. It is capable of fame without the danger of criti cism—is susceptible of enthusiasm, without be ing oppressed ; and unlike other mortal pas sions, is sure of being gratified even in hea ven.”—Horace Walpole. The suddenneess with which the potato rot appears, is one of the most remarkable in cidents connected with this extraordinary plague. The Camden Gazette, of Oneida county, New York, notices the destruciou of a field in that vicinity on Monday last. In the morning they were in a thriving con dition, and looked well; but at seven o'clock in the evening they were found to be com pletely blasted, and covered with rust.
