Massey’s Improved Collon Gins,
rpilE subscriber i* now prennred to manufncturc n *u
f perior artir l” of COTTON GINS, having procu
red material* of fli**boet quality nnd being supplied with
I the best ot w'orkmrn. Reside* he i* now .linking o.on-
I siderable addition to hi* machinery, which will enable
him to turnish ns good gin*, and on as reasonable
term*, ns nny factory in the State.
The subscriber hn* the exclusive right of Simpson’s
Patent, (for applying inctnlic rubber to drums, pullies,
, Ac.) for some fifty of the b **t citton growing counties
in the State ; which b intends applying to Ins gins
when required. And it is certainly of great advant
age to the cotton gin. for it not only requires one third
lrss power to propel it, where the metalie rubber is ap
plied. but the gin. running geer, and every thing con
nected with it. will last os much longer in proportion.
I believe there is no one of common sense but will ad
mit. that the lighter machinery of any kind can run,
the longer it will last.
It appears that a great manv persons prefer what is
called a water box, to all such I woirld sny, that it is not
worth one cent for the purpose recommended—that is
to prevent the gin from faking fire, forthis simple rea
son. a gin never takes fire (rointhe box, hut invariably
j from the brush inside the gin, (when it takes tire nt all.)
Rut ns every man has his own notions, I will furnish a
! box ot my own invention (to all who may require it,)
, equal to the patent water box

Here she goes, tlicrp she s.
Some years afl;o there came to this country
a fnmily from Engltimi, which settled on the
upper part of thin island, and opened a public
house. Among their chattels was nn old fam
ily clock which they prized ..lore lor its nge
than its actual value, although it had told the
hours lor years mi years with tile most com
mendable fidelity. This clock is now situated
in one of the private parlors of the house,
and many a tirnehnsheenthethcmcofre
! mark in consequence of its solemnly antique
exterior.
A few days since, about dusk a couple of
mad wags drove up to the door of the hotel,
seated in a light and beautiful wagon, drawn
by a superb hay horse. They sprang out—
ordered the ostler to pay every attention to
the animal, and to stable him for the night.—
Entering the hotel, they tossed oft'a glass of
wine apiece, bemouthed a cigar, and directed
the Inndlord to provide the best game supper
in bis power. There was a winsome look in
the countenance of the elder—a bright spark
ling in hiseyes. which occasionally he hall clos
ed in a style that gave him tiie air of'a know
ing one,’ and a slight curving of the corners
of the month that showed his ability to enjoy,
while bis whole demeanor made every acute
i observer sure of bis ability to penetrate a
| joke. Now and then, when his lips parted
i and lie ran his lingers through his hair with a
languid expression, it was evident lie was
j eager to be at work in his vocation —that of a
practical joker! The other was a dapper
young man, although different in appearance,
yet with features which indicated that his
mind was well fitted to he a successful co
partner with his mate, and a dry pun or grave,
ly delivered witticism was frequently worked
off with an air of philosophy or unconcern,
that gave him at once the credit of being a
I first rate wit. Supper on the table, these two
Yankees were not dull as a couple Generally
will he at table, but made mirth, and laugh
i ter. and wit their companions, and as wine in
his party colored flowing robes presided, there
was a set out’ fit for a prince nnd his associ
ates. Tiie Yankees ate and drank and were
right merry, when the old family clock whirled
and whizzed as the hammer on the bell struck
one, two, three, four. five. six. seven, right,
t nine, ten, eleven, twelve ! The elder looked
up at the old monitor before him. struck his
elbow on the table, and looked again steadily
i for a minute, and then laughed out henrtily,
awakening the waiter, who was just dozing
by the window sill.
1 W hat in the name of Momus are you
laughing at V asked the dapper Yankee, as he
cast his eyes now over the table, now over
and around himself, to ascertain where the nest
of the joke was concealed. The elder wink
ed slyly, and yawning lazily, slowly raised
the forefinger of his right hand and applied it
gracefully to his nose. The dapper man un
derstood the hint.
‘Olio ! 1 understand —no you don’t come it
over this child! Waiter, another bottle of
champagne.’ The servant left the room nnd
our heroes inclining themselves over the table,
held a long conversation in a low tone, when
the elder of the two raised his voice, and with
an airof satisfaction exclaimed,
1 Clocks always go it!’
Then both cautiously rose from tin ir chairs
and advanced to the clock, turned the key of
the door, and looked within, the elder in ah’alf
inquiring, half-decided manner saying.
■ Won’t it ?’
Tlic waiter was on the stairs, atul they re
turned to their seats in a trice as if nothing
had happened —both scolding the waiter as lie
entered, for being so lazy on his errand.
Having heard the clock strike one. they
were shown to their beds, where they talked
in a subdued tone, and finally sunk to sleep. In
the morning they were early up, and ordered
their horse to be harnussed and brought
to the door. Descending to the bar room,
they asked for their bill, ami with becoming
promptitude paid the amount due over to the
keeper. The elder perceiving the landlord
through the window, placed his arms upon the
bar and in a serious tone inquired of the bar
keeper if lie would dispose of the old clock.—
The young man hesitated—he knew not what
to answer. The old clock seemed to him
such a miserable piece of furniture, that he had
an impression that it might as well be his as
him employers, yet he could not comprehend
why such a person should want such a hiilious
article. While he was attempting to reply,
the good natured landlord entered, and the
question was referred to hint for an answer.
‘1 wish to purchase the old clock upstairs !
Will you sell it ? asked the elder Yankee,
while the younger lighted a cigar, nnd cast
his eye over the newspapers which lay upon
the table. The landlord who had set no great
value upon the clock, except ns an heir loom,
began to suspect that it might possess the vir
tues of Martin Heywood’s ehair. nnd bp filled
with dollars, and almost involuntarily, the
three ascended to the, room which contained it.
• The fiict is,’ said the Yankee. ‘ I once won
a hundred dollars, with a clock like that.’
1 A hundred dollars !’ ejaculated the land
lord.
‘Yes! You see there was one like it in a
room over in Jersey, and a fellow bet me he
rould his forefinger swinging with the
pendulum for an hour, only Raying, ‘ Here she
goes there she goes.’ He could’nt do it. I
walked the money out of him in no time.’
‘ You did 1 Aou couldn’t walk il qut of
me. I’ll bet you filly dollars I can do it on the
1 spot !
‘ Done,’ cried the Yankee.
The clock struck eight, and with his back
to flic table and the door the landlord popped
into the chair—
‘ Here she goes, there she goes!’ nnd his
finger waved in a curve, his eye* fully on the
pendulum. The YunkccH behind him inter
rupted— 1 Where’s the money 7 Plank the
; money.’
The landlord was not to lose in that way.—
His fore-finger slowly and surely, went with
, the pendulum, and his left disengaged his
purse from his pocket, which he threw behind
him niton the table. All was silent The
dapper man nt h ngth exclaimed—
‘ Shall I depositc the money in the liandß
j of the bar keeper V
‘ Here idle goes there she goes !’ was the
only answer.
One of the Yankees left the room. The
1 landlord heard him go down stairs ; but he
! was not to be disturbed by the trick.
Presently the bur keener entered, nnd touch
ing him upon the shoulder, asked
* Mr. B , ore you crazy ? What are
you doing ?’
‘ Here site goes, there she goes !’ hi respnn
1 fled, with his hand, waving the fore finger ns
before.
The bar keeper rushed down stairs j he
railed one of the neighbors and uskad him to
go up. They ascended and the neighbor seiz
ing him gently by the collar, in an imploring
voice said,—
‘ Mr. B- do not sit here. Come, come
down stairs : what can imism's* you to sit
’ here V 1
‘Here she goes, there she goes I’ was the
-ole reply, and the solemn fare and the slow
moving linger M illed the matter. He teas
| iiiml!
‘He U mnd,’ whispered the friend in u
i low voice. We must go tor a doctor ’
The landlord was not to be duped ; he wits
; not to he deceived although the whole town
j came to interrunt him. ‘You had better call
; up his wife,’ udded the friend.
| ‘ Here she goes, there she goe*r repeated
the landlord, and ho hand still moved on.
In a minute hia wile entered, lull ot* agony
ot soul—•’ My dear she kindly said,‘look on
me. It is your wife who speaks!’
’ Here she goes, there she goes !’ and his hand
continues to go, but his wife wouldn’t go ;she
icitidd stay, nnd he thought she was deter
mined to conspire against him and make him
lose the wager. She wept, and she contin
ued—
‘ What cause have you for this ? Why do
you do so? Has your wife’—
“Here she goes, there she goes’’ and Ins
linger seemed to be tracing her airy progress,
lor anything she could ascertain to the con
trary.
i ‘My dear,’ she still continued thinking that
i the thought ol his child, whom he fondly lov
ed. would tend to restore him. • shall I call up
your daughter?
j ‘ Here she goes, there she goes!’ the land
lord again repeated, his eye* becoming
more and more fixed and glazed from the
steadiness ot the gaze. A slight smile, which
* a 1 great effect upon the minds of those pres
! n ut. played upon Ins face as he thought of the
many unsuccessful resorts to win him front
Ids purpose, and o! his success in hullliug
them The physician entered. He stood by
tlie side of the busy man. He. looked at him
I in silence, shook his head, and to the anxious
\ inquiry of the wife answered—
‘No madam ‘. The fewer jiersons here the
better. The maid had better stay away; do
not let the daughter’—
‘Here she goes there she goes !’ yet again,
and again in harmony with (lie waving finger,
issued from the lips of the landlord.
‘ A consultation, I think will be necessary,’
said the physician. • Will you run for Dr.
W ms?’
The kind neighbor buttoned up his coat and
j hurried from the room.
In a few minutes Dr. W ms, with
another medical gentleman entered.
‘ This is a sorry Right.’ said lie to the doctor
present.
‘lndeed it is. sir.’was the reply. ‘lt is a
sudden attack, of the.
‘ Here she goes, there she goes!’was the
sole reply.
The physicians stepped into a corner and
consulted together.
‘ Will you be good enough to run for a bar
ber ? We must have his head shaved and
blistered,’ said Dr. W ms.
‘ All poor, dear husband,’ said the lady; ‘I
fear lie never again will know his miserable !
wife.’
‘ Here she goes—there she goes !’ said the ]
landlord with a little more emphasis, and with !
a more nervous yet determined waving of his I
finger in concert with the pendulum; liir the 1
minute hand was near the hr .Ire —that point 1
which was to put fifty dollars into his pocket, I
if the hand arrived at it without his suffering ■
himself to he interrupted.
The wife in a low bewailing tone continued ;
her utterances —
• No never ; nor of his daughter.’
‘ Here she goes—there she goes.’ almost
shouted the landlord, ns the minute hand ad
vanced to the desired point.
The barber arrived ; he was naturally a
talkative man—and when the doctor made
some causal remark, reflecting upon the qual
ity of tiie instrument he was about to use. he
replied—
‘ Ah ha : no. Monsieur, you say very bad to
razor—tres beautiful—eh ) —look—look —very
fine isn’t site V
‘ Here she goes—there she goes !’ scream- j
ed the landlord, his hand waving on and on. I
and his face gathering a smile, and his whole |
frame in readiness to be convulsed with joy.
The barber was amazed. • Here she goes'.’ ;
he responded in the best English he could use
—■ Vale ? vare shall I begin 7 Vat is dat lit ‘
say ?’
■ Sliave bis bead at once!’ interrupted the
doctor while the lad}’ sank into a chair.
• Here she goes —there she—goes ! for the <
last time ’ cried the landlord, an the clock j
shuck nine, and he sprang from his seat in |
an ecstacy of delight, streaming at the top of |
his voice as he skipped about the room—
‘ I’ve Avon it —I’ve won it !’
• What ?’ said the bar keeper.
‘What ?’echoed the doctors.
‘ What ?’ re-echoed the wife.
‘ Why, the wager—titty dollars !’ But cast
ing his eyes around the room, and missing the
young men who induced him to watch the
clock, tie asked his bar kee|>er,
• Where are those young meu who supped
here last night 7eh 7 quick, where are they 7’
‘ They went away in their wagon nearly
an hour ago, sir!’ was the reply.
The truth flashed like a thunderbolt through
his mind. They had taken his pocket book witii
one hundred and seven dollars therein und
decamped—a couple of swindling sharpers,
with wit to hack them! The story is rife
on all men’s tongues in the neighborhood
where this affair occurred, nnd the facts are
not otherwise than here set down ; hut we re
gret that the worthy landlord in endeavoring
to overtake the rascals. Avas thrown from his
own waggon, and so seA-erely injured hr to be
confined to his room at the present moment,
where he can watch the pendulum of his clock
at his leisure.
The Head Sea.
A singular terror has prevailed in the East
from time immoriul with regard to the Dead
Sea, or Lake Asphalrites. The scene of Di
vine vengeance in the olden time, it remains a
monument of the truth of sacred history. It
is about s') miles long and 20 w.de. Nothing
of dreariness can be conceived, which is not
realized in the scenery which surrounds it.—
Its neighborhood is unaccompanied by vegetn
tion, ami is unsuited to the existence of ani
mals or o! the human nee. The water is bitter
and nauseous, containing substances marked
by these peculiarities to the extent of onc
lburth of its weight. Now and then a strag
gling and scared bird flies over its water.—
Asphalt tun floats on its surface, and an in
flammable bitumen is lound on its shores.
Yet once its bed was the benutiful and fertile
valley of Kiddiin; it was termed the garden
of the Lord,” and contained no less than five
cities, if we may believe the record of Moses,
verified by the writings ul Strabo, and Ste
phen of Byzantium. With the exception of
/.oar all were destroyed, and their places be
came desolate.
In the spirit of inquiry, modern Christianity
has endeavored to ascertain how far the truth
of these ancient records could he verified in
our days. The latest attempts have been
those of n young Irishman, (whose adven
tures have been described by Harriet Mnrti
nrau ) and of Lieut. Molyiieux of the Bri
tish navy. The former suflered dreadfully in
his excursion, and soon alter died at Jerusa
lem Imm illness brought ou by fatigue and
exposure. His papers, if he had any. wre
lost to the world. VVe have recently senna
brief account of Lieut. Motyneux’s expedi
tion. nnd as it appears to have been unnoticed
by our contemporaries we will give a hriel ac
count of its design and results. It will bejust
now more than usually interesting in couse
auenceofa similar enterprise inprogress under
the direction of Lieutenant Lynch ofthe U. M.
Navy.
Oil the 20th of August last, snys a report
which we notice in a late English literary jour
no.l, Lieut Moljoeux landed from the Hparla
at Acre, and with three volunteers, an Inter
preter. some camels and their attendants, and
the ship's dingey, he proceeded on his journey.
The travelling was ou the whole, difficult,
and Tiberias, on lbe lake of that name, about
eighteen miles in length, was reached the
next morning. The party embarked, crossed
it. and made the descent of the river Jordan,
which was accomplished with much difficulty,
the waters being shallow, the stream tortuous
and muddy,and much interrupted by waterfalls
and Avcirs of stone, where immense quantities
offish are taken. To these difficulties impeding
the navigation and often compelling the seamen
to transport their boat over the carrying pla
ces. was added the strenuous opposition of
the native Sheiks. Large sums were de
manded of Lieut. Molyneux for permission to
pass; frequent quarrels occurred and it avuh
only by occasional threats on his part and the
appearance of a resort to arms, that he forced
his way along.
On the 3d of September lie reached the
Dead Sea. As lie entered its wnters and
made sail on the dingey, the breeze freshened
and large patches of while loam were passed.
The sen rose, and with it enme nn unearth
ly roar of the waves, like that of fearful break
ers just ahead. At two o'clock, p. in. says
the log. in the hi liel that the boat was nearing
the southern extremity ofthe sea it was haul
ed to the Avind and the Lieutenant stood for
the AA'estern roast. Avhi"h was crowned with
i “exceedingly high mountain*,” with faces al
most perpendicular. Having arrived nt whnt
I was apparently the deepest Avater. soundings
i were obtained at 225 fathoms, and the arma
ture ofthe lead brought up some pieces of
rock salt. The water itself ivas of a dirty,
sandy rolor. rapidly destroying metals, and
producing an unpleasant, greasy feeling to the
touch, with an extremely disagreeable smell.
“Every one and every thing in thn boat was
covered with a nasty shining substance; iron
was roroded. and covered, ns if with cold
tar.” No living thing avas found in the
Avater. A long line of bubbling foam ex
tended the Avhole length ofthe sea. over which
at night a white line of eloud Avar, visible
Having reached the termination of the lake
to which there is no outlet although it receives
five streams, the dingy was mounted nn the
hacks of two camelß and the party proceeded
to Jerusalem. This avob the first fim the
boat of a man-of-Avnr ct'er entered the Holy
CitA r . Lieut. Molyneux returned to.the coast
of Jafa and joined his vessel. But lie almost
immediately took sick and died. We have
no account ol the fortune which attended his
comrades. This death, like that of his pre
decessor. has excited a degree of awe in 1 lie
minds of travellers. We trust that our oavii
countryman. Lieut. Lynch, may be spared
such an untimely fate as seems to have been
the conclusion of similer expeditions.
In view of the interest which attaches to
this subject, we may remark, in conclusion,
that we highly approve of the permission giv
en by the Secretary ofthe Navy to Lieut.
Lynch, to employ some of his leisure time
in the Mediterranean in making an explora
ration of the Dead Sea. The expenditure
Avill not exceed the price of a boat mid the
personal expenses of a small party of men. —
We hA’e an idea that the survey will be the
most complete that lias yet heenmailc, and ns
friends of all useful projects we cannot hut
express our approbation of the enlightened
conduct ofthe Secretary, who, while lie pro
motes the true A'alue mid glory of the Navy,
knows how to lend its valuable aid to science.

The women of the French Revolution*
The letter* from Paris gives accounts of
the active part taken by some of the ladies of
Paris, in tile revolutionary struggle, and the
elforts appear not to have stopped with the
success of their movement. A letter from
Paris, in the Netv-York Courier 4r Tnqtdrtr ,
thus introduces the reader to anew scene in
which the women have taken apart. He is
describing the military display oa the occasion
of tlie Fete of Fraternity, which took place
on the 20th of April, and says:
At the head of the battalion, halted just at
tlie entrance upon the Place do la Revolution,
my atteution was arrested b) a small and
daintily gloved hand peeping out from the
ample sleeve ol a broadcloth paletot, or over
coat, such as is worn by the lions of tlie Chan
see d’Antin. and the Case de Paris. “ And
’twixt his linger and thumb lie held” with
most exquisite are a beautiful and rich Ha
vana cigar. From the hand to the face was
the natural and instant direction of my eye.
It was a smooth, regular, and even beautiful
face, belonging apparently to a youth from
eighteen to twenty years ol age. The rest of
the dress corresponded with what has already
been described—blue silk cravat, carefully
tied; scrupulously white shirt collar, fashion
able vest, line black ci.ssimere pantaloons,
swelling at the loot, an I varnished hoots. A
kepi, or cap of the 11 I'.orui of the .National
Hoards (blue cloth with red cord in the seems)
and a small national Hag on a stall six or sev
ea feel long, completed the accoutrement of
this interesting patriot.
Beside him was another apparently above
twenty-five years of age, similarly apparalled in
all respect except that he wore a handsome
drab instead of u dark pulctot. Ah hah I said
1 to myself—who have we here ? a couple of
wealthy young members, probably, of some
aristocratic family, who borne away by the
popular enthusiasm had caught republican
ism which they were trying to render consist
ent in practice with the preservation of their
aristocratic instincts and habits. They talk
ed freely but not loudly with each other, tiud
the guards near them in the ranks joining
with much animation in the singing of patriotic
republican songs. The one drew occasional
ly from his pocket an emhroyilered cambric
pocket handkerchief— the other wielded delib
erately his Havana, “which ever and anon he
gave his mouth and took’t away again.” At
last he threw il from him half consumed with
an air which seemed to say, ■ Pon honor ’tis a
vitlanous cigar !” They did not seem to ex
cite any particular attention on the part of
the bystanders, and I was passing on down
the line, when llmpis-niil to observe that their
hair was turned up behind an I tucked under
their military kepis. Oh ho! the secretis out!
They were u couple of girls ! -'Who are the
young women ?” I usked of a National Guard
near. “We don’t know sir. ” was the reply.
“They accosted us curly ia tlie morning, ask
ed permission to join our battalion, and there
they ure lending us to file belure the Provision
al Government, and declare our adhesion to
tlie Republic. Fire la l.ib’ tlt /”
Under the ancient Republic and the Em
pire, many firl* of this sort joined the French
armies and Ibllowed them not only to reviews
mid parades but to the Held of battle, when
they set men examples hard to imitutc of sol
dierly conduct, anil high during. In another
part of the line figured another I’emnle—but
she was in the dress of lu r sex and attended
by a banner nroeluiiuing that she was “one
of the wounded ofFcbrtmry, and the mother
of sixteen children!” The sex is bestirring
itself in France. Since the Revolution a
daily paper Inis sprung up called “The Voice
of the W omen,” edited by ladies and advoca
ting the emancipation of woman from the so
cinl slavery which they say weigh upon her—
their right to sit as representatives in the Na
tional Assembly -mill tube invested with tlie
political mid civil privileges of which men
have 100 long enjoyed the monopoly. They
seriously talked of causing Madame Diidevunt
(George Sand) to he run lor the Assembly.—
But Madame Dudevaut declined the honor.
[The above letter was written by the same
gciith-iimn who wrote the letter published ill
the Courier, which we copied, describing the
scene which occurred in the Chamber of Dep
uties, wlmh the Ductless of Orleans present

VOL. XXVI.—No 10.
Climate and Product* of Ceor. ia.
In a well-digested and apparently very can
did account of the climate and productions of
all the seaboard States, then Colonies of ting
land, the author, speaking of Georgia quotes
a letter from an educated genllema i who had
opened and settled a plantationofo34o acre-,
not far from Savannah, thus : •• I have rai,
ed cabbages of 60 pounds weight, and tur
nips of 25. Potatoes thrive astonishingly in
it. I have had 300 bushels from a bed that
did not exceed a quarter of an acre mid sev
eral of my neighbors have begun to go pret
ty’ much into them as an article of sale ; they
find a ready market in Savannah lor the West
Indies.
“ Alter clearing, I have planted the land
with Indian corn for three and four years sue.
cessively. and got from thirty-five to sixty
bushels an acre, and at the same time from
twenty-five to fifty bushels of Indian peas an
acre !
“Os wheat my crop* are not so groat ; but
from thirty to forty bushels per acre is vri/
usual crop. Barley no also sow. us,
alter wheat or Indian com ; I get the same
quantity as of wheat ; I have some fields tie
soil of which is so rich, that I have got, for
six years successively, crops of these, kinds of
grain, and all equally good. Ido not think
our Farmers in England, grow quite so many
successive crops ol corn as we do here, yet I
imagine our produet to be much the largest.
1 have never laid on any dry or other manure
lor corn.”
The reader must remember that thi* w s
just prior to the year 1775. and refers to a
pi intation not far from August;'. It would
grntify a natural and by no means an unfriend
ly curiosity, if some friend in that region if
he can guess wltoße plantation this war,
would let us know what its average produce
is now. per acre, of the same articles. The
writer’s name is not given, but he says eh
where: “ Upon the whole. I much prefer this
climate to any in which l have lived before,
and yet 1 have resided at Cadiz Naples, and
the West Indies, not to speak ol Boston and
England.”
As to the climate of upland Georgia, we do
not believe, except in July. August, and until
the Inst of September, it is exceeded in the
world for delightful temperature. It was the
declared opinion of the celebrated traveller
and philosopher, the Abbe Correa de Serra,
Minister to the United States from Brazil,
‘hat no part of Europe, not even Italy, was
equal to that great mountain r jion where
several States unite in the mountains of Geor
gia.
It may gratify the curious reader to know
what was then the course of Agriculture in
a State that is somewhat less known, if not,
more undervalued, than any in the Union, in
proportion to it natural sources of wea't i a . 1
the high social qualities of its inhabitants.
And why should vve be less curious about the
birth and growth of a State, than the life and
actions of those who are denominated great
men—which none are, us it is said, in
the eyes of their ralet de chainbre f If we
read a biography, how naturally we go back
even to the nursery, for the first dawning ot
the future Hero, to see how he built his mimic
fortifications of snow, or how he commanded
his troop of urchins in the robbery of an orch
ard. In the eye of Philosophy, is it not ranch
mure interesting to note the rise and progress
of States and Nations—their advance in Ag
riculture—in Arts—in Government ! As to
the first, the author before us quotes his ri li
able correspondent for a year’s produce of his
farm as follows—
-50 acres of Indian corn produce in £ sand.
sterling money, - 187 14 0
35 acres of wheat produce, in ditto, 132 0 0
20 acres of barley, ditto, - -33 0 0
50 barrels of pork, - - -82 0 0
40 ditto beef, - - -5(0 0
Hides, 24 10 0
Live stock sold, - - - -30 0 0
Lumber, - - - - - 36 00
47 pounds of silk ! - - -47 0 0
16 acres of tobacco, 11 hogsheads 83 0 0
Indigo, 87 0 0
£799 4 0
“ The number of negroes 25, and 5 white
laborers—3o in all. The total divided gives
£26 a head arid this, I believe, may general
ly be equalled, by those who have any luck in
fixing on tolerable land, without possessing
great skill in choosing the best. Negroes cost
at present from £4 ) to £SO a head if good
ones are bought.”
lu whatever eise Georgia may have de
clined. according to our own observation, more
limited, it is true than we could have wished,
she maintains in full three the particular qual
ity described in the following passage :
“ Hospitality to a degree totally unknown
in England, is the virtue of all America ;
and a man can Imrdly through inclination,
but especially from example, be niggardly on
any occasio'is that call lor ii; his great ex
|>ense will be wine, rum. and u few other arti
cles of house-keeping, not that this amounts to
anything very considerable.”
We must take room for what follows br to
silk. oil. and wool, as the result of experience
at that day What can be said of the policy
of government, or the indolence of individuals
under which such sources of enjoyment and
revenue have been destroyed or neglected ?
The author of this careful and mend id his
tory, an • American” and apparently writing
as well ns publishing in England say* :
“ Our silk mills are universal in affirming
that the silk we have had from America is
equal to tlie best we receive elsewhere—
surely, therefore, it much behooves the gov
ernment to promote whatever mi asures have
a tendency to render silk an article of con
sideration in the imports from America, in
stead of suffering old ones to expire.”
“ Oil, is another import which costs this
country—England—great sums of money—
none is or can he produced at home ; hut the
olive thrives well in the interior of Georgia
and might be made a valuable article in the
products of that province.”
“ It'ool. —Our colonies on the continent of
North America, south of New York, produce
a wool entirely similar to the Spanish. No
