AVING secured the services of Mr. G. T.
OGLESBY as the superintendent, together
with other experienced mechanics, I have establish
ed a large COTTON GIN FACTORY, at the
She als of Ogcechoe, Ga., where I am prepared to
make and furnish the Planter with the best article
‘ in the way of a COTTON GIN now produced in this
1 country.
Mr. Oglesby’s time, devoted exclusively in the
shop, and seoing to the putting up of every Gin
under his special direction, and attaching all tho
improvements which he (Mr. Oglesby,) has got
ten up within the last two years, I am satisfied I
can supersede any made heretofore, in quantity,
quality and durability,
All old Gins, (when sent to the shop,! will be
repaired, and all the improvements attached if de
sired, at a reasonable charge.
The new Gin will be delivered at tho Planters’
nearest depot, or at their residence if desired, free
of charge.
Prompt attention paid to all communications
addressed to meat tho above office.
THOMAS J. CHEELY.
SHOALS OF OGEECHEE, GA., )
March 5, 1853. )
To my old Patrons and Friends.
As there has been some complaint of my Gins,
made during the last two years : an explanation to
you in relation to this matter is due Mr. Cheely.
I have been absent a groat portion of this time,
on a visit to the North, experimenting and getting
up a new Gin, as well as improving, the original
Saw Gin, together with suitable machinery for this
business, to its highest perfection, as will be ac
knowledged by all who have used them, both in
durability and quality of Cotton.
I shall now devote my individual attention in
the shop, and see that every part of each Gin is put
up in tho neatest possible manner : in short, I shall
make the orginal Oglesby Gin, which has been so
celebrated for durability and fine Cotton, having
taken the premium in this State as well as that of I
South Carolina in every instance except one, and
then it was said by foreign dealers that my Cotton
was of a superrior quality. In conclusion, my lato
improvements added to my former Gins, cannot fail
to give entire satisfaction. I will alter any old
Gins, (not too much worn,) to do better work than
it ever did before.
Yours, most respectfully,
march 15 ly G. T. OGLESBY".

IN offering the services of thostoamer FASHION,

This boat was built in this city, and great care
has been taken in her construction to make her
worthy of tho trade for which she is intended.
Her capacity is about 2000 bales Cotton, her
draught of wator only 13 inches, which will enable
her at all seasons of tho year, to dclivor her freight
promptly.
Her entire cargo will bo taken between docks,
which will not only prevent damage to goods in
case of snagging, but will add much to tho condi
tion of packages discharged from her. Mr. M. A.
Cohen is the agent of this lino in Savannah, whore
suitable wharves and warehouse have been provi
ded in a central situation for the reception of Cot
ton, Merchandize, etc.
The Fashion will run in connection with the
New York and Philadelphia steamship, polivering
goods at this point in five days from either of those
eitios. JOHN A. MOORE.

THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. 18.
A man nine feet iiioH.— A giant nearly nine
feet in height is shortly expected to arrive in
Madrid. He is a native of Lachar, in the pro
vince of Grenada, and is only twenty-three
years of age. He eats as much as five men,
walks with extreme rapidity, and has been
twice married, but both his wives are dead.
His object in visiting Madrid is to demand the
band of a female of great beauty, who keeps a
coffee-house. He is described as so great a
coward that he will allow a child to ill-treat
him. >
Mrs. Anna Cora Mowatt, the accomplished
actress, is now lying, we are sorry to learn, seri
ously ill at Ravenswood, New York, the resi
dence of her father, Samuel G. Ogden, Esq. This
indisposition is the more to be regretted by the
public, for the reason that it will prevent Mrs.
M. from returning to the stage for several
months, and also postpone the appearance of a
volume of personal memoirs, which were to
have been published in September next.
The laws of Massachusetts are rather strin
gent on the subject of duelling. They provide
that every person who shall engage in a duel
with any deadly weapon, although no homicide
ensue, or shall challenge another to fight such
duel, or shall send or deliver any written or
verbal message, purporting or intended to be
such challenge, although no duel ensue, shall be
punished by imprisonment in the State prison
not more than twenty years, or by fine not ex
ceeding SIOOO and imprisonment in the country
jail not more than three years, and shall also be
incapable ol holding or ot being elected or ap
pointed to any place of honor, profit or trnst, un
der the Constitution or laws of Massachusetts,
fora term oi twenty years after such conviction.
Ine law in relation to accepting a challenge is
also quite severe.
Ihe great increase in the travel over the Bay
line, and the steadily advancing popularity of its
admirable management, have induced direc
tors to add a magnificent new steamer to their
fine boats, which, it is designed, shall be superi
or in speed and dimensions to the North-Caroli
na. She will measure 275 feet on deck, 260 feet
in the keel, 36 beam and 12 feet depth of hold,
whilst her furniture and general appurtenances
will be of most excellent character. Prepara
tions will be commenced without delay, in or
der to her completion in time for the travel for#
the next spring.
The New York Mirror, in view of the fre
quency of railroad accidents,recommends that the
Legislature of every State grant no further rail
road charters without providing that each and
every road shall be built with a double track,
the rails and construction of which to be subjec
ted to a thorough inspection by a competent
competent commission, and its engines, car
wheels, &c., put to a rigid test—as rigid as Gov
ernment ordinance is subject to before use—be
fore a road can go into operation. It should be
further provided thotall rail tracks should bese
surely fenced in, to prevent animals from en
croaching thereon.
Progress of the Sandwich Islands. —On
the Ist of July the corner-stone of the “United
States Marine was laid at Honolulu,
on Rincon Point. The site of the building is
on a commanding eminence, facing the harbor,
affording a fine view of the city. It will be a
brick edifice, 182 feet long and 86 feet wide, in
the Grecian style of architecture, and with all
the modern improvements. The contract for its
erection was at a cost of $185,000, and Congress
appropiiated $200,000 for the purpose. In Ho
nolulu a library association, reading-room, two
engine companies, a hook and ladder company,
a cavalry company, and an artillery corps, have
been organized. The latter is styled the First
Hawaiian Guard, composed of foreigners, and
commanded by Capt. A. J. McDuffie, formerly
of Philadelphia. It is described as being finely
equipped and well disciplined, and numbers sixty
men, rank and file. The foreign population of
Honolulu amounts to 2,000, of which 1,700 are
Americans. In all the islands of the group there
are said to be about 3,000 Americans.-
Millionaires in California. —Some of the
largest incomes of the United States are now
enjoyed by gentlemen of San Francisco, who,
four years ago, were far from being rich. It is
said that the annual income of Samuel Brannon,
Esq., is over two hundred and forty thousand
dollars; whilst that of J. L. Folsom, W. D. M.
Howard, and several others, is but little if any
less. These large estates have been made with
in the last three or four years, by the rapid rise
of real estate in and about San Francisco. In
1847-48 lots were purchased for sls or S2O,
which are now worth over SIOO,OOO. On the
chief business streets, in favorable locations,
ground is worth from SSOO to SIOOO per front
foot, exclusive of the improvements.
I. O. O. F.— Benevolence. —In the State of
Pennsylvania there are upwards ot four hundred
Lodges, containing forty-four thousand members.
More than four thousand new members have
been admitted during the year ending with the
30th June. The revenue accruing in that State
for the year amounts to $173,000, of which
$91,000 was expended in aiding sick brethren,
relieving widowed families, educating, orphans,
and burying the dead.

Sad Case of Suicide.— Corporal Lewis Kra
mer, attached to the United States recruiting sta
tion at Pottsville Pennsylvania, committed sui
cide on Monday, by shooting himself through
the heart. It appears he had been placed under
arrest by his superior officers, charged with con
duct unbecoming an officer, and sooner than sub
mit to a trial, put an end to his existence. Kra
mer was a Polander by birtb, and had fought
through the Hungarian revolution among the
valiant soldiers of Kossuth and his compatriots,
during which time he had participated in thirty
three battles with the forces of Austria and
Russia.
A dispatch received at Liverpool, from Lon
don just before the sailing of the Africa, announ
ces that the Chinese rebels had captured Amoy
on the 19th of May, after a severe fight. They
are said to be most friendly to foreigners, and
protected the factories and British Consulate.—
They profess a desire to trade in all articles ex
cept opium. Any decisive success on the part
of the rebels in the North, it is supposed, would
apparently cause a gradual rise, and lead to a
convulsion of the empire. An attempt to retake
Amoy had failed. Amoy is a commercial city
and seaport on an island of the same name, 320
miles E. N. E. of Canton ; it contains 250,000
inhabitants, and was well fortified with works
created during the war with England.
Canton was quiet. Trade going on as usual.
Teas were coming down from the interior.—
Business transactions were, however, small.—
Goods of all kinds were cheap. Freights were
expected to be high for first teas. At Shang
hai business was trifling. Teas were expected
to rule high, \
