than two day9.
The following is a verbatim report ol the reply of
Governor Swann :
Mr. Chairman and Oemlnnen of the Committee:
I regret most exceedingly the cause which has brought
you here to-day. You must recollect that I am Gov
ernor of the wfcojo Btafce of Maryland, and not ol a
part. In the discharge of my official duties here, I
can know no party nor interest in this 8tate but the
interest of the. whole State of Maryland. •
Coming as you do, gentlemen, representing this
large e einent of our population, fpointing to the me
morial and other documents laid before him by the
qommittee,) with affidavits and testimon* which you
The Arrow Tic.
It has been well remarked that great emergencies
develop human ingenuity by stimulating the latent
aulaod inventive capacity of a people, and especial
ly of a progressive-people; and surely no intelligent
pbeorver can have fhiled to notice at least some of llic-
numerona Inventions and improvement* bt our day,
affording as they do increased facilities for the general
transaction of business, and greater ease and security
in the handling and transportation of merchandise
and produce from one market to another.
Prominent among the changes that are occurring,
we desire to invite the attention of those interested to
the fact that, within the last few year**, Iron has been
extensively introduced as a substitute for rope, aunl
in almost every instance demonstrating met the
change has been advantageous.
The meet remarkable change, however, has taken
place within the hist ten or twelve years, when iron
first began to be need in the place of rope f_r baliug
cotton. . „■ * 4
What led to the invention oT the irbn band was the
fact that rope being so expansive and elastic, bales of
cotton Ixmnd with this material, in many instance*
nearly donbled their siae before they reached the
end of the voyage, as compared with their measure
ment when first placed on board. The chief ad van-,
tage, therefore, which iron hooping possesses Aiver
rope is found In its non-expansiveness. By the use
of iron hands this most serious. inconvenience can he
avoided, for they secure a bale so firmly tk*t expan
sion is impossible, and- » bals do secured has -eiactly
the same cubic measurement when it is tak£n from
the ship's bold, afters long voyage, that it had when
it whs first taken from the press. Another most im
portant advantage derived lrom the use ol the irfn
band is that the bale, by being rendered moresom-
pact, 1iXi» g much smaller surface exposed to damage,
as it it almost impervious to vaster and alukost incon
sumable by fire.
Concerning the "arrow tie” we wish to aav a few
words; and perhaps we cannot do belter in the out
set than to let the Liverpool Journal, of March 29th,
1865, speak for ns. It says: "With regard to fasten
ing bands with the ‘Arrow Tie/ we would say • word.
The principal requirements for each an object are
simplicity, rapidity and perfection in fastening. ' They
are all supplied by the Arrow Tie, which ia ample iu
design, rapid in its application, and periect in accom-
pltsuing the purpose for which it is designed. The
tin is now chiefly used in tlis States (United States),
India, Egypt and South America, and has given uni
versal satisfaction. We have seen some bales pressed
to m density of thirty pounds to tho cubic foot, and
fastened with the arrow tie iron bands, hoisted' into
a store in this town, after u voyage from Bombay, and
thrown oat of a window without losing one of the
bands. The bales in question were ot ibe same cubic
measurement when they arrived i£ Liverpool as when
shipped at Bombay.
-A number of experiments were recently instituted,
under the direction of Dr. Forbes Watson, the Gov
ernment reporter on the products of India, and Gen.
Frederick Cotton, of Hfer Majesty’s Madras engineers,
with the Cumulative Ppwer Colton Press, in which
the bole, when compressed, was fastened with the ar
row tie and iron bands, in the space of thirty seconds.
The result was so satisfactory that Dr. Watson, in a
report to the Secret-ry of State, suggesting certain
experiments with India cotton, and which we ob
serve are now being carried out by the Bombay Gov
ernment, remarks : ‘It will be necessary to have the
bales bound with iron bands, and fastened with the
arrow tie, which appears to be not only the most ef
fective, but the most readily applied contrivance yet
devised for the purpose.’ Dr. Wataon further says :
‘In a series of experiments recently conducted un
der my direction, iu Liverpool, at a number of which
Gen. Frederick Cotton was present, the time required
to fasten the bands ou each balk in no case exceeded
half a minute, whilst in some, fifteen seconds suf
ficed, all that is wanted being a certain but easily ac
quired dexterity in adjusting the ties.’ ’*
Coming from such a scarce, the testimony in favor
Of the arrow tie ia worthy of consideration. But all
that is claimed for tho arrow tie in Great Britain ia
also claimed for it here iu the cotton-growing States;
for it has been introduced throughout them all,.and it
gives universal satisfaction.
Experiments and a fair trial in England and in this
country prove conclusively that the objections raised
by rival patentees of ties, that the arrow tie acks
strength, are without foundation. A stronger.4»n«l
more durable tie has never been introduced in. any
country.
Letters from Texas and from all parts pf the country
go to prove that wherever the arrow tie has been used,
it has taken precedence over all others.
The bands which are accompanied by the arrow tie
are long enough for the largest bale, and can instantly
be adapted to the size of any bale, whilst in the press,
as quickly and with the same ease aa ropes. They are
prepared of superior Loop, cut to uniform lengths of
ten and eleven feot, and put up iu bundles uf thirty*
five bands and ties each, complete and inseparable
until opened for use. Messrs. Given, Watts L Co., 186
Cameron street, or Mr. H. T. Bartlett, General Agent,
28 Csrondelet street, New Orleans, will furnish to on
dor printed directions for working these bauds and
ties, so that every planter can use them. without the
slightest difficulty.
The agents for these bands and ties possess unpre
cedented facilities for obtaining supplies direct from
the patentee, under whose eye they are all manuiac- _ . . .

JV Most Horrid Massacre.
One of toe most brutal massacres that it fcui ever
become our painful duty to ehronisU, aajs the Rome
Courier of October lfith, occurred near Cedar BUifi',
Cherokea county, 1 * on tho morning of Mon
day. 15 th instant:
Mr. Arthur Williams was moving with hlaftmiVy
Sr^areatog laaosi^^r^iLtelit imiku*^nt:5 o?
toe Chattooga river, abont two milesfrom Cedar Blqfi.,
The apuearaace indieataa tost himself, wife and Ida
little children ware 011 deeping ou one bed that was
spread out on tbe ground. - ■
When found about day-break Vooday morning, Mr.
WfOiama and these two children were stiff lying upon
the bed, dead, aud tt on lire. They bad bam killed
with an axe that was lylhg near by. Mr. W.’s head
had been literally spUt open and the children horribly
mutilated—bat aU seemed to have been kUJed in
stantly, aa their bodies still ramainsd npon toe bed.
Mrs. W. received a terrible bldw upon the hert by the
axe on her lett cheek, destroying her left Aye and
breaking her Jaw bone,’ wlttt ber clothes on fire, had
rolled.down Ihe bluff to .the water’a edge,. ap*l when
ftmdd.Mkbhghspeeohleto, wa.ttlfi^ivevAre - =-
lormant left this awful scene.
No dusts given to the pmpetrator, except that a . . __
negro, barefooted, called at a bouse a half igffe from. 1 (t AAA
the place at abont 10 o’clock Sunday night and got a lu.v AU TON.
drlnk ot water. These tracks were.treekad tothsi ■
nlaee, and Mr. WlUiams’ shoes being gone, tracks
