faction to announce to their patrons and the Planters,
generally, of the Cotton growing region, that they are
prepared to supply any number ol their celebrated 1 ke-
Mll'M GtSS. . . ...
Where these Gins have been once used, it would be
deemed unnecessary lor the Manufacturers to sav a word
in their favor, as they feel confident the machines have
been hmuohtto such'perfection, that their superior per
formance will recommend them, in preference toother
Gins now in use. For the satisfaction ol those who
have used the Gins, and are acquainted with their rep
utation. the Proprietors need only say, that the I n:s r
Premiums have heen awarded to them, for the BEST
GIN exhibited at the (heat State Fair held at Atlanta.
Ga. • also, al t ( >e Alabama a,, d Georgia Agricnltira!
and Mechanic’s Fair, held at Columbus ; and at the an
nual Fair of the South Carolina Institute, at Charleston.
The Cotton ginned on these Gins received the first Pre
miums at the exhibition held at Charleston, S. ( . and at
every Fair where samples of cotton from them have
been exhibited.
The Proprietors have in their possession numerous
certificates from P ant era, Cotton Brokers, Commission
Merchants and Manufacturers of cotton goods, testifying
that the performance of the Gins, and the samples pro*
dared bv them, cannot be excelled by any ever manufac
tured.
All order* for Gins given either to our traveling or
local Agents, or forwarded to the Proprietors bv mail,
will always receive prompt attention. Gins will be sent
to any part of the country, and warranted to give satis
faction.

Two hundred and thirty Cadet*, from fifteen different State*, have
entered this institution since it \va* organized, in 181*. It is entire
ly free from the control or domination of any wet or party, either [*>-
litical or religious. Economy in dress, by the adoption of a cheap
Uniform, for Winter and Summer, is rigidly enforced. Every studetu
is required to select a College guardian, with whom all funds brought
or received must be deposited, and no debt must be contracted without
the consent of such guardian.
An Institution combining the science ofthe West Point Academy
and of Polytechnic Institute*, with the classical literature of our lx-st
Colleges, adding tin; m.deru languages, and supenidding practical
schools of Law and Engineering, nearly realizes the long-frl*. desider*
ation of a university able to meet the wants of Western progress—a
university where all may select a course of steady to suit their time,

others ofthe same class are receiving in different parts of the United
States, $2,000, §1,500, or §1,200 a year as Assistant Engineers.
Tlie time is rapidly approaching when there will boa great demand
forsucli as have been prepared o<r that vocation, at the Western Mil
itary Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that they ill readily
command §1,200 or §1,500 per annum. Every man of observation
must see that the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give birth
to hundreds of others, tributary to them. The rapid advancement o
our whole country, and the eagerness of our people, for exploring the
hidden resources of the new States and the newly acquired territory,
will give ample scope for ages to come, to the skill and enterprise ol
jthe Engineer, the Geologist, the Mineralogist, the Surveyor and the
Architect. Young men who have an aptitude for the Mathematical
