hef *'f workmen Beside* he is now making con
sidernhle addition to his machinery, which will enable
him to furnish ns good gins, and on ns reasonable
terms, as any factory in the State.
The subscriber his the exclusive right of Simpson’s
Patent. ( for applying metnlic rubber to drums, pullies,
Ac.) p*r som* fifty ol the best cotton growing counties
in the State ; which he intends applying to his gins
when required. And it is certainly of great advant
age tot l, e cotton gin. for it not only requires one third
less power to propel it, where the metalic rubber is ap
plied, hut the gin. running geer. and every thing con
nected with it, will last as much longer in pioportion.
I believe there is no one of common Sense but will ad
mit. ihat the lighter machinery of anv kind can run,
the longer it will last.
It appears that a great many person* prefer what is
called a water box, to all such t would say, that it is not
worth one cent for the purpose recommended—that is
to prevent the gin from taking fire, for this simple rea
son, a gin never takes fire from the box. but invariably
from the. brush inside the gin, (when it takes fire at all.)
But ns every man hn his own notions, I will furnish a
box ol my own invention (to all who may require it,)
equal to the patent water box.

every case warranted to perform well.
Letters addressed to the subscriber at Macon, Ga.,

And us the sun Hung back the gorgeous

sprang upon his fiery course, ‘ as a steed
springeth to the battle,’—while the light of
Ills countenance, like the eye of a fond mother
beamed tenderly uixm the infant earth he.
cherished—the hosis thereof’ veiled and
bowed themselves at the near approach of
their Creator and tlicir God!
* * * *
Standing beneath the branchesof a spread
mg pomegranate tree, whose flower and Iruit
th.’ morning breeze scattered promiscuously
at histeet, was the Father ol the hu nan race
His relulgent brow, unsullied hy the touch of
cure or years, flashed back die first beams
ot the rising sun as from u polished mirror.—
His joyous eye glanced for a mome.it on the
palm trees rugged and dark—then rested on
its crown of bright green leaves, that in the
morning ray Hashed like an orient gem—then
over frugant shrub and beauteous flower, until
it settled down upon the iorm ol the light ser
pent nestling at histeet. Their glances met
; ■ and A dam stopped and laid Ids hand gently
upon its princely crest; smoothed down its
scales ol crimson, green nnd gold, folded its
brilliant wings and closed its eyes—then like
an infant wearied with its toy, he turned to
p.aying with the lion’s main and sleeping
li op \rd s spots. His eyes beheld the beauti
‘ul ul earth ! His ears drank in the harmony of
nature, till his heart could hold no longer, and
his moving lip poured llirlh a gush of jovous
melodv, wild, deep, and thrilling as a ham
string s chord swept by an angel’s hand.
Lured by the winning music of his voice,
a fair hand parted the twining boughs of the
myrtle, and a bright form sprang timid to his
side. He stopped and gazed on this strange
visitor. It was no angel, for it was too fair—
nor an archangel, for it had no wings—nor
cherub, tor it wore no sparkling crown—nor a
seraphim, for they are ever veiled, and this
was not, save by its purity. The form
was human, yet divinely so—upon its brow
there dwelt, as on his own, the radiance
ot Heaven. It had an eye whose glance dissol
ved his soul within its liquid depths—a lip,
whose sigh was dearer than the breath that
lans the I’hrone —a voice whose word:; were
richer than the incense-laden wind, and like Ihe
tones he heard at eventide—he would not,
could not, dared not disobey.
He lead her lorth beneath the lime-trees
shade and through the citron groves. He
twined the myrtle and the orange bough, and
wreathed them with the thornless rose that
grew only in Piradise. to deck her brow ;
he plucked the richest clusters of the grope
and laid them at her feet ;—he wiped the
down from the fair cheek of the nectarine, re
leased the golden plantain from its rind, and
brought the luscious fig. that she might eat.
No wine cup sparkled there—but a clear
spring supplied them water, and a bunch of
tall, white lilies, a sweet drinking cup.
Suddenly the place was filled with melody!
A thousand golden harps rang soli yet clear
a thousand voices joined in raising high the
gathering song of Heaven ! Ambrosial airs
swept through the garden and the swaying
boughs gave back a deep response ! The joyful
gush of fountains as they leaped up in theirplay
chimed gayly in with the wood-robin’s song
of welcome and of Peace !
It was the morn ot Earth’s primeval Sab
bath and the ‘Hosts’ ol the great uncreated
gathered here to consecrate his last and no
blest work, to his own holy use. Between the
Tree of Knowledge’ and of ‘Life.’ the Great
White Throne’ was fixed. A blazing cloud
that ever look upon and live, errv
ved as a veil to hide His awful brow. From
its midst, as some bright orb in the far depths
ot Heaven, beamed, with a lustre withering
and intense, • The Great All-Seeing Eye,’
which scanned the ranks successive as they
knelt. The Seraphim, who bow forever
round the eternal Throne, veiled with their
sparkling wings their prying eyes and did
low reverence. Cherubic legions too. had
left the ‘golden battlements of Heaven’ to
worship here on earth. Archangel bands
no more made hare their glittemer swords
iu distant worlds, but sped iu “peaceful
garb to join the rest. And angels, too
icit for an hour their embassies of peace,
to worship here betbre. Man. ‘pure and
j ust, ’ ‘princes,’ and mighty -powers, ’—
birds, beasts, and creeping tilings—all that
Ihe hand of God had made in earth, or sea, or
sky. were here to witness man’s
first act ol leully in keeping God’s first law.
Hour al\er hour rolled on and sull the
voire of praise ascended and the gush of song
broke from the innumerable host that knelt
iu humble worship there, till, as the sun rest
ed his rlmriot on the western hills, the still,
small voice’ of the Eternal King hade the
two last dentures he had made ‘stand forth?’
Oh ! il would need an angel's pen to paint
how grandly awful and sublime the scene
that made our parents one! They laid not
down their altering on an altnr built by man,
but on the Ibotstuol of the Throne itself! No
temple reared its seulptured roof above them,
hut the deep arch ol Heaven's blue dome was
their gorgeous ceiling ! No human friends
stood round in wedding robes, hut the wide
hosts ol the Omiii|'olent. clad in the royal livery
ot 11 uven! No feeble worm pronounce I
them man and wile, but the voice of Him,
whose gentlest whisper shakes the Universe,
declared the two ‘One fleck /” and all his
armies answered,‘Yea Amen!’
Gorgeously did the sun draw the crimson
curtains ot his couch, us he flung himself to
rest thereon. Tenderly did the ungels
sing their evening porting hymn, as they
hade adieu to the oright earth. Trunquilliy
did the first star of evening pour its mellow
beam upon the violet bed of two fair beings,
us they Iny folded in each other’s Hrms.

William Pitt, the first earl of Chatham,
was but 27 years of age. when, an a member
ol’ Parliament.he waged the war of a g lint
against the corruptions of Sir Robert Wal
pole.
The younger Pitt was scarcely 20 years of
age, when, with masterly power, he grappled
with the veterans of Parliament, in favor of
Amcrien. At the age of 2J lie was called to
the high and responsible trftst of chancellor
ol’ the exchequer. It was at that age that he
came forth in his might on the affaire of the
East Indies. At 29. during the first insanity
of George 111. he rallied around the Prince
of Wales.
Edmund Burke, at the ape of 19. planned
a refutation of the metaphysical theories of
Berkely and Hume. At 23. he was in the
Temple, the admiration of its inmates, for the
brilliancy of his genius and the variety of his
acquirements. At 26, he published his cele
brated satire, entitled, A Vindication of Nat
ural Society. The same year he published
his Essay on the Sublime and Beautiful—so
much admired lor its spirit ot philosophical
investigation and the elegance of its lan
guage. At 30, he was secretary to the first
lord of the treasury.
George Washington was only 27 years of
age when he covered the retreat of the Bri
tish troops at Braddock’s defeat, and the same
year he was appointed Commander-in-Ctuef
of all the Virginia lurces.
General Josepn Wairen was unly 29 years
of age. when, in defiance of the British sol
diers stationed at the door of the church he
pronounced the celebrated oration which arou

the cause of freedom on Bunker Hill.
Alexander Hamilton was a Lieutenant
Colonel in the army of the American Revolu

\ Remarkable Character.
The Mntamoras Flag announces that Mr.
j Samuel Bangs, hotel keeper at point Isabel.
! is about to erect a splendid hotel at the Point,
and gives the following sketch of that enter
prising and remarkable man :
Mr. Bangs, we believe is the only survivor
of that glorious baud of fellows who followed
i the Ibrtunes of 111 patriotic and chivalrous,
! but ill-fated Mina. It was in 181 b that he em
-1 barked his ibrtunes under the banner of that ex
| iled Spanish patriot, with the rank and pay of a,
I captain of artillery, and for seven long years
encountered the Jitugers and shared the glo
ries of that memorable expedition with its
fearless chief. He took with him a portable
I printing office, and the bulletius which he
J occasionally issued therefrom, imparted to
! the world the only account ever published of
: Mina and his exploits. To this unfortunate
i man and his brave comrades was Mexico

ly fought under the celebrated Lafiate. con
tributed, equally with Hidalgo and others to
the disentliralnient of Mexico from the moth

printer to the Governor of Tamaulipas. and
was among the pioneers who introduced

j man to make any project “go ahead.” and
is seldom mistaken in his estimate of things.

How the universal heart of man blesses

The young want religion to lay the founda

Klisha was living at Jericho, some of the
(Nople came to him and told him that lliu
w.iter was very bad. Notv the city of Jeri
cho was supplied with water from a spring,
which will conducted to the city, I suppose,
in an acqueduct of some kind. And what did
the prophet do ? He did not go to the streams,
wliieh conveyed the water to different parts
ofthecity to sec if he could purify then j but
he went and cast salt into the spring, ami
tile water was made good. This is what you
must do; cast salt into the spring tlint the

Important Movement in (lernmny.
A gigantic movement is on loot ia Germa
ny. having lor its object the fusion of nil tiio
Germanic Stale* into one imperial body.—
The detail* of this vast design exhibit a won
derful resemblance to our own system, mid if
the pmifi'i is carried out successfully, the
world w ill behold in the very heart of Ktiruiie
! a transplantation and mi embodiment of the
principles of Ameriemi union ami natiouulily.
Soon utter the outbreak of the late revolu
tion* in Ileiliu, Vieium, and throughout Ger
many, seventeen persons, called “Men of
Trust,” were selected to convene in Frank
fort lor the purpose of digesting a plan of
German unity, nr in other words, to frame an
lm|)erial Constitution, to be submitted to the
grand Representative Assembly soon to meet
VOL. XXVI —No. 11.
at Frankfort. These chosen persons have
been for some time engaged in their great
work—that of establishing the foundation of
a National Government which is to he sur
mounted once more by the throne of Charle
magne. They are mostly literary men,
known and honored for the sway they have
held and still hold over the intellect of Ger
many—a fact which induces the London
Times to remark it as a prominent character
istic of the present stage of the revolutions
now occurring in the world, that they are gui
ded almost exclusively by men of studious
j lives and literary pursuits.
We no dot know that we can lay before our
readers anything more interesting at ti.i;
time, ns connected with the affairs of Europe
and the general progress of the age. titan the
analysis given by the Times of this si upend
ous project now contemplated in Germany:
The territory of the Germanic Confedera
tion, or, to speak more correctly, of the Get>
man Empire, is assumed to extend from Ltria
to Schleswig,including both those provinc, ,
and thus reaching from the Adriatic to the
Baltic. It will also include the provinces
| lately incorporated by Prussia, and extend
longitudinally from the Niemen to the Saar
and the Moselle. As the principal object of
this vast revolution is to give unity to the na
tion. centring in one political system, all the.
existing sovereigns and states of Germany
are called upon to surrender a very consider;!
hie share ol their independence and pow r.
In reality, if this design he ever adopted, tin
condition of the ruling PrinccH wi!l he no,
much superior to that of the Princes of the
German Empire already mediatized on for
mer occasions, and the internal power end so
vereignty of the several states will not mate
rially exceed that of the United States of
America. The relations of Germany with
other countries will be conducted, not as at
present, by diplomatic envoys from Prussia,
Bavaria. Hanover, Saxony, etc., but exclu
sively by embassies representing the Imperial
authority and the universal interests of the
nation. The foreign legations in various parts
of Germany will, therefore, in like manner
cease.
The entire military force of the country will
in like manner be essentially one, commanded
and administered by the staff of the empire,
and fused into one Imperial army, of which
the present national corps w.ll be divisions.—
So also, the formications and defences of the
whole Empire will he placed under the con
trol of the Imperial Government. The -am
central authority would assume the complete
control over the principal institutions common
to the whole nation —such as the post office,
the coinage the weights and measures of the
realm, the great lines of communication, and
the customs. The whole Empire would form
one body, subject to the same commercial law s
and imfiostg. The produce of these indirect
taxes, raised by the customs and the post of
fice. would form the principal revenue ol the
Federal Government.
It will be. proposed that the Head of this
Government shall bean Hereditary Emperor
of Germany, to be in the first instance elected
by the Constituent Assembly to which thid
constitution is to be submitted. This Sover
eign will govern the Federal concerns of the
whole nation wall the advice of responsible
Ministers, and the support of a Parliament
consisting of two houses. The Upper House
to be composed of nil the present sovereign
members of the Germanic Diet, who may sit
by deputy, and likewise of a body of Sena
tors. 101 in number, to be men of more than
I 40 years of age. elected for twelve years nn.l
lin rotation, with certain qualifications. The
, Lower House will be chosen from the ‘] oliti
i cal Assemblies of each seperate German
I State in proportion of one member for every
100.000 inhabitants. These bodi will exor
cise the powers and enjoy all the rights of
Parliament. The seat of Government is pro
posed to he at Frankfort on-the-Maine.
But this constitution contains another insti
tution to which we should be inclined to at
tribute the highest rank in importance, digni
ty, and duration. A Supreme and Imperial
Court of Judicature is permanently to sit at
Nuremberg, Composed of 21 rarmnrrs taken
from the judical order in the several Btati s ;
one third of these judges being named by the
Emperor, and one third elected by each < tiara
ber of Diet —the tenure of their ollice being
for life. The powers of this Court would hi
extremely vast —more extensive even than
those of the Supreme Court of the United
States. They would embrace not only the
decision of al. questions of Federal law. an
ing between states or individuals, but the de
termination of political rights, the trial of po
litical impeachments both of Ministers ot the
empire and of the separate States, and a spe
cies of political arbitration in casus of dispute
between the members of the Empire. If such
a tribunal as that < mbe founded and main
tained with adequate authority, it would plncr
the union ol Germany on higher and mort
solid ground than any pure political institu
tions which ever sprang out of the ferti*e brum
of a German jurist, or the crater of a liberal
revolution.
This brief and imperfect outline may con
vey to our readers some idea of the colossal
magnltud of the present German movement.
We have stated, we believe with accuracy,
the nature of the proposal which will be sub
mitted to the C mstituent Assembly before
many days have elapsed. If it lias been ac
cepted by tlie existing German Government*,
there can be Uttle doubt tlmt it will not be
materially modified by the Assembly of the
[ample: lor it is the production ol men who
enjoy uu unbounded amount of popular couti
deuci—chiefly, we believe, of Dalihnunn,
Gervinus, and Zscltaria.
Them; patriotic legislators have our bent
wishes fur their success ; but, we acknowledge
our minds arc oppressed by tlie overwhelming
magnitude of the undertaking, ami we can
scarcely conceive oy what stupendous powi
a liumiretl questions which title l ail the j.uu
j lie interests, the passions and the tradi.f sc
, 117 sovereign stales and ten iniliiun of men,
arc to be thus ■uuinmrily resolved. We have
