THE subscribers are sole agents for making and vending the best Water Wheel in the world, known as Vandewater’s Water Wheel. We chal lenge the wor dto produce it* equal. It has but re cently been introduced to the public, and found to be far in advance of all other wheels, both in power and economy in water, every drop being effective, and none wasted. This Wheel is not n the least af fected by bad water. As we prefer them being pla ced below tail water in every instance, consequently we get every inch of head; they being entirely of cast iron, and simple of construction, are not liable to get out of order, and are more durable than any wheel now in use. We have recently put one in operation for George Schley, Esq., at his Bell ville Cotton Factory, to whom we would give refer ence. Sec Certificate annexed. All orders for Wheels or Territorial Rights, will meet with attention by addressing the subscribers. JAGGER, TREADWELL <fe FERRY, Albany, New York. Or to their Agent, J. J. Kibbb, Augusta, [certificate.] Augusta, Ga., March 24,1851. Jagoer, Treadwell & Perry—Gentlemen; I have the gratification of informing you that your Vandewater Wheel was successfully put in ope ration at my Factory last week, and it worked to perfection. Its simplicity, durability, nnd uniformity of speed, are recommendations alone ; but above all, its highest encomium is the small quantity of water it takes, as compared with other wheels. 1 have been using one of Reuben Rich’s Center Vent Wheels, of three feet and a half diameter, and eleven inch bucket, the discharge openings measuring 400 inch es, I displaced that and put in one cf yours of six feet diameter, with discharge openings measuring 270 inches, nd your wheel run the seme amount of machinery that the Rich Wheel bad driven, and there was a difference in favor of vours of eight inches in the depth of water in the tail race. I feel no hesitation in recommending y CU r w reel to all man* ufacturers, and Mill owners, believing it is the great, esl wheel ot the age. W isbing you success in the introduction of so valuable an impiovement I re main, very respectfully, yours, & c . mh26 GEORGE; SCHLEY. GIBBS & HARdTnT WHOLESALE AND RETAIL GRO CERY MERCHANTS.

THE STEAMBOAT COMPANY OP GEORGIA, IN ADDITION to Three Steam- - ers formerly composing their line, have recently built the very light draught Iron steamer, DAVID L. ADAMS, of gre capacity and power, (making her trips in 24 to 30 hours,) thus securing great dispatch and unequalled facilities for the transportation of Goods, at very low rates, to the interior of Georgia, South Carolina, Ten nessee, and Alabama, in connection with the Geor gia, Western and Atlantic, and Tennessee Railroads. All Goods will be forwarded without commissions? also, Produce from the Georgia Railroad; expense* on which will be paid and collected at Savannah, from consignees, or from vessels by which shipped, when required. The D. L. Adams will run in connection with the Steamships Florida and Alabama, thus ensuring the transmission of Goods from New York to Augusta in sto 7 days. Bills of Lading should accompany goods by Steamships. Particular attention should be observed in direct ing Bills of Lading; many now direct “ Steamboal Agent,” “ Steamboat Company,” &c., and as there are several Companies, this creates detention, and much confusion ; shippers by this Company should therefore direct Merchandize from the INTERIOR to JOHN B.

In view es the es tablishment of a similar institution, at Jackson, in our own State, aii information touching the treatment and the curability of mental alie nation possesses marked value. In the New York State Asylum, there were 449 patients under treatment during the past year, of these 226 were males and 233 fe males. The admissions during that period were 367, of whom 185 were males and 182 female. The difference, therefore, in respect to the liability of the sexes to insanity, would seem to be very slight. The number discharg ed is as follows: Total. Males. Females. Recovered 171 94 77 Much improved 8 4 4 Improved 49 26 23 Unimproved 108 51 67 Died 51 34 17 Total discharged 387 209 178 Remained Nov. 30, IKO.--429 202 227 The duration of insanity in 171 eases dis, charged as cured was as follows: Lees than a year 124 Psur years 2 One year 21 Five years•• • •••2 Two years.... 9 Six years* 1 Three years 7 Unascertained* •» i Total 171 These statistics illustrate the immeasurable importance of early attention to every f»rm es mania. Chronic cases are exceedingly difficult of cure, and after a term of years they become hopeless. The most numerous class of patients in the Asylum consists of cases of chronic lunacy— total or partial. The le comprise nearly one half of the entire number of admissions. Os acute mania there were 154 cases, and of in sanity from epilepsy 22. Eight cases were found to be feigned insanity. In 378 cases the disease had manifested itself less than one year before admission, and so on in an inverse proportion between the number of eases, and the duration of the disorder, until we arrive at two cases where insanity had lasted no less than 65 years. The whole number of cases admitted since the opening of the asylum on the 16th es Janu ary, 1843, to the Ist December, were aa fol lows: Males. Females. Total. 1,393 1,350 2,743 Os these 1,188! were discharged recovered: 468 improved ; 333 unimproved, and 330 died. Total 2,314. The civil condition of the patients admitted wai:—married 1,304; single 1,275; widows 113; widowers 51. Not the least interesting feature lu the inves tigation of these terrible afflictions is the pe culiarity of cause by which they were occa sioned. By far the greater number of cases proceed from long continned ill-health and physical suffering. Religious anxiety is like wise a prolific source of insanity. Intemper ance contributes a considerable proportion of the victims, and secret vice swells the heca tomb. Disappointed in leve, excited madness in 39 men, and strange to say, in but 26 wo men. Other leading causes are excessive study, (chiefly in males ;) exhausting labor, epilepsy, aider ism, domestic trouble, (these cases are almost exclusively females,) of injury of the bead, and extreme fright. From opium eating there wens 7 cases, and 6 from polities excitement. Many of the patients exhibit a suicidal pro pensity, and give great trouble, from the ne cessity of constantly watching them. Others evince the homicidal propensity very strongly, and require the straight-jacket to prevent them from injuring their as'eci:.3s. Under the regulations of the Asylum, the inmates are divided into ten families of each sex. From the best to the worst, the gradua tion is almost imperceptible. The first five are very pleasant, quiet and agreeable ; the re maining five descend gradually frem the dull to the stupid, demented and filthy, noisy and violent. They are so arranged that the first classes see nothing and hear little es the ethers. When patients are first received, they are placed with a family, which, according to the accounts given by their friends, they seem best suited for, and they are subsequently removed to a better or worse as their varying mental condition may render necessary. It is from the most violent and excited class that the most cures are effected. The patients are employed as far as practica ble. On the farm were raised 159 bushels of corn, 600 of potatoes (in which there was a failure on account of the rot,) 1050 bushels of turni[ f, beets, carrots and parsnips, 200 of onions, 1500 pounds of pork, 80 tons of hay, 105 bushels es peas and beans, 7000 heads of cabbage, &c. There is a printing office in the building, in which are printed ike Journal of Insanity, and “The Opal,” a newspaper, the contents of which are entirely contributed by the insane imnites. There are also various mechanical shops on the premises. The fe males fin i occupation mainly in sewing, useful acd fancy workt 5,252 articles of clothing and bedding were made during the year. Paint ing, worsted work, knitting of all kinds, flower making, &c„ are carried on with much skill. Exercise is enjoined open the patients, and innocent and healthful amusement* constantly permitted.— N. O. Bee. FINEi WATCHES, CLOCKS,JEW ELRY, AND SILVER AND ®® ODS ’ _ THOMAS W.
