Massev’s Improved Cotton bins.
THE subscriber is now prepared to manufacture a su
perior article <f COTTON GINS, hnvi g procu
red nia tennis of i|e best qunlity and being supplied with
the best of workmen. Besides he i9 now making con
siderable addition to his machinery, which will enable
Inm to furnish na good gins, and on as reasonable
j terms, as any factory in the State.
! The suhscrilier has the exclusive right of Simpson’s
Patent, (for applying rnetalic rubber to drums, puilies,
i . c ] f*rsonie fifty of the h'*st cotton growing counties
m the State : which he intends applying to his gins
when required And it is certainly of great advant
age tot e cotton gin. for it not orilv requires one third
l ‘s power to prop<*| it. where the rnetalic rubber is np
plied, but the gin. running geer, nnd every thing con
nected with it, will last as much longer in poportjon.
I h<*lieve there is no one of common sense hut will ad
mit. ihat the lighter machinery of any kind can run,
j me longer it will last.
It npiienrs that a great manv persons prefer what is
called n water box, to all such I would say, that it is not
wonh one cent for the purpose recommended—that is
to prevent the gin from taking fire, forthis simple rea
son. a gin never takes fire ‘rom the box. but invariably
from the brush inside the gin, (when it tal es fire at nM )
But ns every man has his own notions, I will furnish a
box of my own invention (to all who may require it,)
equal to the patent water box.
B.—Gins sent to any part of the country, and in
every rase warrrnted to perform well.
Letters addressed to the subscriber at Macon, Ga.,
will receive prompt attention.

To Farmers.
Why is it, that the effort and enterprise t
the commercial und mechanical part ofourpo]
ulaliun is crowned witli so much success
while, with a few exceptions, compared wit
the great mass, the efforts of our farmers bo
just enable them to live ? Is it not lor wan
ol the proper direction of their energies to th
object sought l We hear daily of tnerchan
princes, of bankers who control Inrge amount
of our circulating medium, and these sever
classes, with our prolessional men, are thus
>viio govern the affairs and direct the iegisltt
lion of our country.
Why is it. thiit sixty-five thousand prefer
sional. and one hundred and twenty thousan
ont.nercinl men, and eight hundred thousan
manufacturers and mechanics, making in th
aggregate less than one million, exert so muc!
mure influence than the lour millions of ou
agricultural population ! And why are w
told that the farmers constitute so small a pro
nortion of our several legislatures, when tliej
iniPTRStR art. MS* ... Ia *U.*IUI ill
other classes united ?
The numerical and physical power in thi
country is largely in favor of agriculturists
and were their efforts properly directed, ther
is no reason why the influence they exercis
should not be in proportion to this power.—
The number of tanners to be found in ou.
legislatures at the present time may possible
be greater than formerly. Yet it is to b
feared, that they are not always the best tnei.
who could have been selected; but that r
some instances they are those who by thei
imbition rattier than their merits, have gain
ed these places of distinction, and who. if w.
may form an opinion by the result of their leg
■station, are eontroleU by others, and in many
cases, like some who till our country and town
otfices. are men who seek after office, rathe
than those who are sought after. But my ob
ject is not to write a political lecture, but ti
inquire into the reason why so great dis
parity exists ill the intellectual powers of th
different classes of our population. Is it on
for want of a system of education adapted tt
their various occupations. It may be said
that the children of almost onr entire poptiln
lion enjoy in our common schools equal op
I porlumtics for education with ench other. Is
I there not wanting, however, in all ot’ them tit
| appropriateness to some of these occupations
and more particularly to those who seek at
I agricultural employment ? True, in ou.
schools they are taught that “two and two
] make four:'’ and that seven tier cent added to
the principal once in ninety days accumulates
rapidly. But is not this suited to the hi t
chant and banker rather than the farmer.
I Does not this instruct ion give the commercin’
I ‘nan a starting point, which lead him to make
law* to promote his own interests, permitting
I him to purchase Slate Slocks paying six pi
| cent, and on this basis giving him the privi
lege of issuing a representative of money tt|
on which he may receive seven per cent one
in niftety Unys on the same property, whilt i
the farmer, should lie be so prospered ns to
accumulate a little money to loan, is prohihi
ted by our laws Irom taking over seven per
I cent. Should not the farmer’s boy lie taught
that where “one blade of grass now grows
two may be made to grow.” and should not
| lie be instructed how in wlmt way this may
be accomplished ? Thus giving him atart
j mg jioint. which would be as certain in its ul-
I timat-favorable results as in the case just ;
supposed. When will our farmers awake to
see tiie importance ol’ so educating their chil
dren to tiie business ol farming, that a far
j liter’s sou shall he as well inlbrmed in what
i relates to his occupation, as the commercial I
and professional man now is in what concerns

tin y hut be amazed that Paganini should ex

sible farmer, once called at the oflice of a cele

a very important question that could be an
swered in an instant, categorically—yes or no.
” No,” wts promptly returned. The farmer
was satisfied. Tne decision was worth to

client about to retire, asked the justice the

replied lie. “Ten dollars!” ejaculated the as

‘Do you see these rows ol books, my friend?” ]
rejoined the chief justice* “I have spent l

Ihe Right i\..
Rev. Ahel C. Thomas, one of the most ‘
eloquent and successful preachers of the. pre
sent age, served his lime at the printing busi
ness; and so far from looking back with re-’
i gret at the time thus devoted to mechanical
, labor, he says, in a recent letter to a Boston
I publisher, in relation to his ministry— I was
I always independent, for I was master of the
printing and I knew that i could earn a liv- 1
mg at any time by the labor ol’ my hands. —
Sowell assured am I of the advantage to he
derived from this source that if I had a thou
sand children, and wub worth a thousand mil
lion of dollars, each of my sons should be
come proficient in some branch of handicraft. I
and each of my daughters should learn, prac- 1
rically, every branch of housework. Irom the

any of my property.”
This is the right kind of talk, and if it could

Luxuries ol the Romans.
The luxury of the table commenced about j
the period of the battle of Actium. and con
tinued to the reign of G.tlb.t. Their delica

nightingales, venison and wild and tame 1
fowls; they were also fond offish. The
reigning tnste was lor a profusion of provi- !

jan horse, in allusion to the horse tilled with
soldiers. Fowls nnd game of all sorts were
served up in pyramids, piled up in dishes as
broad as modem tables. Mark Antony pro

Lubur Nnvin* Machinery-
There are many who decry labor saving
j machinery, and condemn its use as lieiug inju
rious t> the interest of the working man and
a benefit only to men of capital, by destroy
ing the occupation of the former class through
the agency ol c ipit.il doing that kind of work
by machinery, which had previously been j
done by manual labor. Tneaa views are •■- .
tert lined by many wlio have a warm sale to ‘
the working mans welfare. We Imve chari- 1
ty to believe that such views tire held in sin
cerity but in ignorance of the subject in all j
its details, if labor saving machinery is in
jurious to the interest of the working
min at what point or in tehine shall we com
mence the proscription / To that paper which
fulminates against lahnr saving uiarhifirs
we say, throw your type into the ocean uud

become barbarians.
The whole of labor saving machinery. ,
without a single exception, has been the
meins of advancing civilization and gradual- 1
ly elevating the laboring classes from serfs to I
men. The very musket, decried as it may
i he hv some, was an invention which in the

mere por|s>se of giving employment but lor the
producing of something tiselul It is a mista
ken notion winch some political economists
have ‘ that physical labor is always necessary
Pi the wellbeing at'society jast bei'suse il
gives people employment.” Employment
can only be of a benefit to society wiieu it is
directed to creute something tor the com
fort of society. If this is not a correct view
J of the subject, the man who carries a stone iu
| Itis hat all day long must be us advantageous
Jto the Slate as he who guides the plough or
wields the hammer. Those who paid fifty
cents lor a yard of coarse shirting in 1815,
will surely have some feeling tor the friendly
power loom that has now reduced the price
to twelve and a half cents. The working
classes above nil others, are indebted to labor
saving machinery, as being the only sure
ground nnd hope for the future elevation of our
race. We speak merely in reference to phys
ical comforts. While there is enough to eat
and drink and wherewithal to clothe the fami
ly of roan, there certainly should he no suf

I' s Niiffuring among the people, such as there
j is often among the manufacturing classes o,
Britain und some other nations, it is not be

machinery there, but of the abuse of its bene
j fits. We might go ou step by step and till
volumes with account* of the benefits of la
bor saving machinery, were it not trespassing
on our rule of brevity.— Scientific American.

What Yon Drink.
For the benefit of such of our readers as
are lotul of drinking Champagne—and we be
lieve those who drink wine at all prefer tins
light and sparkling beveragi—we copy the
billowing statistics of the production and cons
sumption of this wine. The article lias
every uppc.tranre of authenticity.
“There are. 3:1.000, IKK) of bottles of faltt 1
Champagne every year sent to Russia ; about !
j ns much is sent to England, anil fully equal to
i that quantity to the United States. There
is a company in Fans who make natural
Champagne wine. They take poor chabiis,
Ibr instance, sweeten ll with candy, refine it,
and then pass it.through an apparatus which
charges it with carbonic acid gis and in fil
teen minutes it is ready tor the market.
‘• Immense quantities are also made Irom
cider, by the employment of all sorts of drugs
audio England a great deal is made Irom
gooseberre sand tiie stalks ol’ rhubarb. It is
.lot so good as the genuine, but nine out of
ten of those who urink it, cannot tell the differ
ence. and it will make them just as drunk, and
give them the same horrid headache —uud
why. then, is it not just as valuable 7 True,
some poisonous drugs are sometimes used in
tiie fabrication, but none perhaps worse titan
alcohol.
“ The annual production of France in this
article of Champagne wine is about 50,000,-
00(1 bottles. Tne annual consumption of the
world, m the same time is about 3d0,00u,0b0
bottles ; so that 350U00.000 bottles of false

wide and tar-reaching the influence. It is as
il the prophet had said, let holy instruction,
stern principles ol right, pass from lip to lip;
hum an individual to a family; from each

childhood; employed for your advaneement the
most suitable discipline ; led turth your young
affections, through the love of parent and

I your wondering and delighted taste the beau
ties of earth, wnirh are but the types mid

adorn the scenery of an eternal state ; to awak
en within you the consciousness of an immor
tal destiny, and the dawning* of that law of
virtue in the light of which we have been
created to walk forever ? Have not the
sentiments, principles and convictions de

you numerous and invaluable blessings ?

Thin precept applies to the improvement of
1 time. No one resolves deliberately on sinking
| years or even months, in utter idleness mid
; unprofitableness. And yet the waste even
1 of years is no uncommon tiling in human life.
A little carelessness in scattering will buttle
much carefulness in inaccumuluimg— they go
m Ifitgmcnt*. The years are spent in weeks
| or days, arid the days in hours and the hours in
I minutes. We reckon twenty-lbur hours to one
* day ; but whtm we speak of tile day with refer*

p isabiliiy for purposes of impro. client or en
-1 loyment, a very large deduction must be made.
! Taking away the seasons ol’ rest und Ibod,
and passing from place to piuce. even those
whose circumstances give them must com
mand over their time have only a day of little
more than half that amount. Their loss of
an hour a day is a loss of half a month a year,
—a loss of almost three years in a life of sixty,
Hut with the great majority, the day which
tiiey can command is only a fraction of uus.
Their time is necessarily sold lor the m ans of
physical support. They have bought bread
with it, mid it is gone Their day, their pruiit
uble mid disposal day, lor intellectual and
moral purposes, is seldom more than three or
tour hours; and iu wusting only a half mi
hour ea< h day, they thug aw a) two years
out of their three-score mid ten, should tiiey
have so many. A lew calculations of tins
