OGLEBY’S COTTON GINS.
STILL IMPROVING!
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.

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.

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.

POETRY AND MISCELLANY.
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.
SOUTHERN MUTUAL INSURANCE
COMPANY.
THIS INSTITUTION, chartered by the last
Georgia Legislature, is now in successful ope
ration, issuing Policies on
marine: or fire risks.
And also upon OP SERVA
on the MUTUAL PRINCIPLE—a principle which
saves to the insured from 30 to 75 per cent, of the
cost of Insurance, as they have only to pay their pro
ton of the actual losses sustained.
Policies have been issued on nearly half a mil
lion of dollars, in all parts of Georgia, creating an
available fund of some $20,000 in four months from
the opening of the office.
