by machinery designed expressly for the purpose,

them, and aro not so liable to become heated, and

TO COTTON PLANTERS.
HAVING secured the services of Mr. G. T.
OGLESBY as the superintendent, together
with other experienced mechanics, I have establish
ed a largo COTTON GIN FACTORY, at the
Sht als ot Ogeochee, 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
country.
Mr. Oglesby’s time, devoted exclusively in the
shop, and seeing to the putting up of every Gin
under his special direction, and attaching all the
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 he
repaired, and all tho improvements attached if de
sired, at a reasonable charge.
The new Gin will be delivered at the Planters’
nearest depot, or at their residence if desired, free
of charge.
Prompt attention paid to all communications
addressed to meat the above office.

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 duo Mr. Cheery.
I have been absent a great portion of this time,
on a visit to the North, experimenting and getting
up a now Gin, a3 weli as improving, tho original
Saw Gin, together with suitable machinery for this
business, to its highest perfection, as will be ac
knowledged by ali 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 the neatest possible manner : in short, I shall
make the orginal Oglesby Gin, which has been so
celebrated for durability and line Cotton, having
taken tho premium in this State as weli as that of
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 late
impro%'cments 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,
inarch 15 Iv G. T. OGLESBY.

Commencement at Oxford.
Mr. Editor: —Sojourning for a few days in
this pleasant village, it may not be uninteresting
to your numerous readers to furnish them an
account of the commencement exercises at c
Emory College, (now in progress.) s
From the present dates a new era in her his- f
tory. The institution is no longer crippled in j
its efficiency by want of funds to desseminate t
its blessings more extensively, and to a greater a
number. It is now established upon a perma- o
nent basis. The commencement exercises com- c
menccd on the Sabbath of the 17th inst., with J
the dedication of the new College Build- t
ing, with appropriate religious services, by a
the Rev. Bishop Capers, and the building is t
without a rival in the State, for the spacious- I
ness, magnificence and adaptation of its structure, a
Its foundation is of granite, and the building t
constructed of brick, surmounted with a cupalo t
107 feet high, its chapel having the capaci- u
ty of seating three thousand persons. At a a
meeting of the Board of Trustees on Monday, the «
18th inst., the resignation of Dr. Alexander «
Means (who has accepted the Presidency of the s
Masonic Female College at Covington) was re- t
ceived and accepted, and Professor Darby, of 1
Culloden, Ga., elected to fill the vacant Chair
a position for which he is pre-eminently quali
fied. Professor Darby has been long and favor- 1
ably known to the friends of education in Geor- i
gia as a proficient and distinguished instructor, .
and his services are regarded as a valuable ac- i
quisition to the College.
Monday evening , there was an exhibition of.de
clamation by the Sophomore Class, who acquit
ted themselves handsomely, evincing a proficien
cy in the art of declamation rarely attained at so
early an age. Prizes were awarded to Mr.
Muse, ot S. C., and Mr. Rylander, of Georgia,
and presented by Prof. L. M. Smith, in a taste
ful address delivered in a manner to intently
engage the attention of the audience.
Tuesday morning , was the exhibition of the
Junior Class, the speeches of which were quite
creditable to themselves and commendable for
the moral tone that pervaded the whole. Tn
the afternoon the audience had the pleasure of
listening to a speech from the President, Rev.
Dr. Geo. F. Pierce, who invariably attracts a
crowds. The Doctors was a theme with which
his friends have become familiar, the collection
of money for the completion of the payment for
the new College Building and other necessary
expenditures of the College, and certainly no man
I has a greater facility in unloosening the purse
j strings of his friends. A proposition was made
j by the eloquent speaker to be one of ten to give
j one hundred dollars each to the College, which
j proposition was immediately responded to by
the Hon. Robert Toombs, with a subscription of
four hundred dollars, and in the space of a few
minutes a collection of twenty-five hundred dol
lars was made from the audience present, thus
realizing the most sanguine hopes of the speaker.
In the evening at 7J o’clock, an address was
made before the Alumni of the College, by
Mr. H. R. Harris. The effort fully sustained his
reputation, as an agreeable and talented speaker,
and was characterised by a practicability of sen
timent and appropriateness.
’ ""'Wednesday, the 20th inst., commencement day,
the exercises opened with the Senior exhibition,
1 the speeches of which class, showed a range of
’ thought and purity of style, that would have
■ done honor to older heads. T’ilis class is con
sidered one tlie most promising that has ever
left the walls of Emory College. The Bac
calaureate of President Pierce, was after the
manner of his unsurpassed style , after which
1 the Degree of Master of Arts, was conferred on
. Messrs. A. W. Rowland, Geo. Y. Banks and
. others, and the Degree of Doctor of Divinity,
on the Rev. B. Jenkins, Missionary from the
Methodist Episcopal Church South to China. At
; 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the audience again as
sembled, and were delighted and instructed with
a speech from the Honorable Robert Toombs.
Although many were disappointed with the
’ subject of the speech, all awarded to it the praise
1 of being replete with interesting information
much needed at this particular crisis of public
affairs. Thus closed the commencement of
i Emory College, with its auspices never so bright
at any former j eriod of its existence—perhaps
no College for the same period of its existence ;
and the number bf its graduates, has enriched
society with riper scholars and more useful citi
zens than Emory. May she live (as she doubt
less will.) to extend her usefulness in an increased
and tenfold proportion. b.

Railroad Meeting in Warren.
July 18th, 1853.
Pursuant to appointment by Marshall H.
Wellborn, Esq., Chairman of the previous meet
ing, a large and respectable portion of the citi
zens of Warren county met at the Court House,
to take into consideration the subject of aiding
in the construction of a Railroad from Warren
ton to Macon via Spartaand Milledgeville.
E. H. Pottle. Esq., at the request of the Chair
man, explained the object of the meeting, and
made an eloquent and convincing speech in fa
vor of the proposed Road; showing that the
stock of the Road would be more profitable than
almost any other investment.
Wm. Gibson, Esq., addressed the meeting to
thesame effect; showing that the county very
much needed the link wanted by the construc
tion of this Road.
J. M. Jones, Esq., also addressed the meeting
for a short time, but much to the purpose.
E. H. Pottle, Esq., then offered the following
preamble and resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted :
Whereas, It is in contemplation to build a
Railroad, connecting the city of Macon with the
town of Warrenton or some other eligible point
on the Georgia Railroad, via Milledgeville and
Sparta under a charter granted for the purpose,
by the General Assembly of the State, passed in
1537 and amended in 1847 and 1850; and
Whereas, the citizens of Warren county, in
terested in all the public improvements of the
day, and desirous of aiding in the above enter
prise, if it can be accomplished upon conditions
hereafter specified ; Therefore
Resolved, That, as the citizens of Warren coun
ty feel a lively interest in the projection of the
proposed Road between the city of Macon and
the Georgia Railroad, we will aid in said enter
prise ; provided Warren be made the point of
junction.
Resolved, That upon said condition, we will
use our best exertions to have procured subscrip
tions of stock in said road, commensurate with
our ability.
Resolved, That the Chairman appoint a com
mittee of five for the purpose of attending a call
ed meeting at Sparta to determine upon the
route over which’said Road will be built, and
that said committee be instructed to oppose any
termination except such as indicated in the first
resolution.
The committee anpointed for that purpose are
E. H. Pottfo, J. M. Robprts, E. Cody, J. M.
Jones and Wm. Gibson, Esqrs
On motion of J. M. Jorips. Esq.,
Resolved, That tbp Chainv'an hnvp power to
call a meeting whenever he may deem it neces
sary, for the furtherance of the object in view.
Resolved , That the proceedings of this meeting
be published in the Augusta, Milledgeville and
Maco:.’ papers.
On motion, the meeting adjourned, sine die.
M. H. WELLBORN, Chairman.
Andrew Jackson, Secretary.
Bibb County Democracy. —lt was a source
of unmingled pleasure, (says the Griffin Jeffer
sonian,) to our Democratic brethren abroad to
peruse the proceedings of late Democratic Meet
ings of our friends in Bibb county, which seems
to have been diffused, with such noble, generous
and catholic feelnigs. Our spirits buoyed, and
our eyes brightened, as they lit upon the name
of that sterling and honored Democrat, General
Armstrong, as chairman of the convention ; and
that of the Hon. Carlton B. Cole, whose ability
and devotion to the Democratic doctrines, con
tributed so largely to our success in Southern and
Western Georgia. It is auspicious that the
asperities of the past, will be lost in the en
thusiasm and friumphs of the future, and that
the cloud which so recently hung like a pall
upon our hopes, and our destinies, has passed
away, and relumined our hearts with the per
ennial light of peace and joy. Her “ flag bear
ers” tell us “ Bibb never breaks ranks,” and if
she is but half true to herself, she will lead
the Democracy of Central Georgia. Bravo!
Bravo ! three cheers to old Bibb !
We publish in another column a communica
tion from a “ Scott Whig,” repudiating the Con
servative Convention, and the nominee, Mr.
Jenkins. We don’t know how far this feeling
extends, but we learn from private letter, that a
Convention is contemplated at Macon, for the
purpose of putting out a Third Candidate and
adopting the Whig National platform. Should
they do this, they will occupy the position, of
the Tertium Quids of last year, and may be forced
to take Mr. Toombs’ remark, (which they
jeered so muclj) that “ Conventions are not
binding, but only advisory,” as true; a proposi
tion which was very much scouted by the Scott
men, but in politics, propositions are as often
traps as truths and possibly this may be the view
of our correspondent and his party—at least they
may wish to pay Mr. Toombs in his own coin.

Universal Exhibition in Paris. —Official
information has been received at the Sate depart
ment in Washington, that goods, the importation
of which is prohibited in France, will not only
be admitted at the Universal Exhibition whicj
is to be opened in Paris in 1855, but after t'ha
exhibition they may, at the option of the ex
hibitors, be either re-exported free of all duties
or delivered for interior consumption by paying
a duty of thirty per cent, on the value.
High Price for Tobacco. —Mr. D. E.
Franklin, of Campbell county, Va., sold last
week to Wm. T. Booker, Esq., of Lynchburg,
two hogsheads of tobacco, one at sllO per cwt.
and the other at $32 50 per cwt. Mr. Franklin
also recently sold another hogshead at $49 75,
and Mr. John D. Alexander, of the same coun
ty, one at SIOO, and another at $75 per cwt.
This tobacco is to be sent to the Crystal Palace
exhibition.
Porter’s Rifle. —The Nashville Banner says
that Capt. Porter, of Memphis, the inventor of
the celebrated rifle which bears his name, has
sold his interest, one-half to ex-Gov. Jones, of
Tennessee, for $70,000, and that Gov. Jones is
in Washington, organizing a company with a
capital of SBOO,OOO.
A Turn of Fortune’s Wheel. — A hard
working and industrious American family, the
father of which is a coal-heaver and the mother
a washer-woman, residing in Boston, has just
received information that a brother of the form
er recently died in Calcutta, leaving them the
very acceptable sum of $25,0p0. The family
comprises several children.
The Journal of Commerce tells the following
story:
One incident in the procession, trifling in it
self, occasioned a good deal of amusement. When
Gen. Pierce had got as far up as the head of
Wall street, his horse became restive, and came
in collision with the animal rode by General
Sand ford. As the President was riding with
his hat in hand, the Hat received the brunt of
the shock, and suffered severely, being badly
stove in and indented. The General was too
much engaged to notice the catastrophe, and
soon put on the hat in its unfortunate condition,
and retained it in its place for about a block, ex
citing roars of laughter among the boys.
Another Accident at the Hippodrome.—
On Thursday evening, while the French per
formers were riding in the hurdle race at the
New York Hippodrome, the horse of M,lle
Caroline, in attempting to leap one of the hurd
les, stumbled and fell heavily upon the young
lady, one of his hoofs striking her head. She
was picked up insensible and carried from the
ring.
A tiiift in the Crystal Ptlace. —Or. Fri
day evening, one of the workmen employed in
the Crystal Palace, when going home, stole a
piece of sheet lead and packed it up in a parcel,
and was conveying it out when an officer of the
Palace arrested him. A pickpocket has also
been arrested in the building.
A Present. —Rev. Rufus W. Griswold has
presented to Mr Linus Benedict, of Norwalk,
(who saved the life of his daughter, at the Nor
walk calamity, after she was supposed to be
drowned,) a very costly gold watch and appen
dages as an evidence of his gratitude and that of
his family, for his extraordinary and successful
efforts on that occasion.
Let the Bloomers Alone. Will ye ?—A
young lady, a Bloomer, recently married at Oris
keney, N. Y., was “horned’’ by some of the
village rowdies. She fired a gun over their heads,
and they ran away. Being taunted by some of
the villagers with the fact, they resolved to try
it over. This they did the next night, and
challenged the girl to shoot again, calling her a
liar. &c. On this, the young woman fired once
more above them ; but they laughed her to scorn
and at last, goaded to indignation, she sent a
charge of shot rattling about their brainless pates,
and, wounded and limping, howling and cursing,
they retreated in confusion.
The Tract Society of the M. E. Church in
New York, offers the sum of S3OO for an Essay
