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". GEORGIA "MARBLE WORKS. “ J. Cr. Raiilrn, lf r m. j\l . Hnrhck, Geo. Li. Suanney, (SUCCESSORS TO a. ATKINSON & CO.)

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. ■ — , . t 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, \
