~ TO COTTON PUNTERS^
r ril R subscriber has thoroughly tried, at Macon andColum-
X bus,Georgia, his wrought iron (Jotton Hcrew, where two
of them are now slandingand will remain until October for in
apection. I believe it i the cheap* si, b> half, ever offered for
the purpose of pressing cotton or hay, as lhe frame, screw pin,
and leavers are uil ot wrought iron. It should he attached to
the gin house, and have it put up through the floor, s the or
diuary press-the levers being only five feet In length—to have
the width of the bouse and 18 or *0 leet in length, the lint
could then be placed all around the screw. Then a man cun
take five hands and pack as many live hunt-red pound bales in
one day, with as little labor to the hand, as the same five and
two more, with a horse, can on the wood screw in the same
time Three hands can put up one and lake ildown, and it can
be earned at one load with lour mules to anypoint. Asthma
for the pu lie eye 1 will give the amount of timber necessary
for completing one:
1 piece 17 feet long by 9.
6 “ 17 “ ‘2 by 9
2 “ 17 “ 4 by 0.
1H “ U “ 2 by 12.
3 “ 16 “ 2 by 4.

2 “ 13 “ 2 by 12.
2 •* 14 “ i% by 9.
2 “ 10 *• l by 5.
• ‘ k sj< “ 9 by 23.
This makes a box near nine feet deep wiih bed and follow e ,
and all other fixtures. 1 furnish the iron and the work done on
it at Macon and put the above lumber to il at the place where
it is wanted, the purchaser furnishing the lumber and paying
the freight from Macon, can have one *>f the handiest ar.d
cheapest CoLon tferews now known, its durability considered,
as it is given up by ail who have seen it to be a life-time invest
ment. Icn pack five hundred pounds with three hands—take
five and there is no hard work doi e. Price .*slso this year.
I expect, if lile lasts, to have one at the next State Fair, and
wouid be glad t soe one of evei y other pattern of presses now
in use there and let the wmld judge tor itsel*. I then expect
fosell the riirht in a y size territory that m y be de red, on
reasonable terms, with aworkirg model, within the limits of
such county or counties, and all ’he inhumation necessary for
putting them uo and working them. Address, Thoniasville,

BV THOMAS S. DONOHO.
Tiie Captain of the Norwegian barque Eieu states that
when he was twenty miles distant from the Central Anter
ica, a bird appeared on his vessel, and three times hew., in
his lace, which caused him to change his course two
points, and thus he catne to the ill-tated steamer. — Inci
dent of the wreck of the central America
A bird came out on the stormy sea;
I stood at the helm—it came to me;
Thrice it flew in my face, and then
Flew away in the storm again.
What did the bud of thestoimy sea,
What did the bird portend to me?
I stood at the helm—the strange bird crost—
It struck me, and two points 1 lost;
In her new course my bark must go,
For the strange,strange bird would have it so!
What did the bird of the stormy sea,
The spirit bird portend to me?
Over Ihe deep was darkest night,
Blackness all—then awlul light—
Rush ot waves and thunder roll;
I stood in the storm and said to my soul;
What did the bird ot the shrieking sea,
The ghost-like bird, porteud to me?
Norway’s rocks are bleak and hare;
Bui if no more I rest me there !
And it no more!—My soul leaped up
And dashed in ihe night my sorrow’s cup;
Lu! what the bird of the stormy sea,
The heaven sent bird, portends to thee.
Oh God! that moment, before my bark,
Tos.-ed on the billows deep aud dark,
Hundreds, hundreds ol dying men!—
Let me not see such sight again!
This, O bird ol the stormy sea,
This didst ihou porteud to me!
Yet, by Him who sent thee, bird,
Shall ever the praise ot my soul be heard,
That many were saved, who but lor thee,
llad gone to the grave ol ihe secret sea.
For this, dear bird of the ravenous sea,
1 thank ihy Guide, who guided me!
And the Dove, that still in life’s unrest,
He sends with peace from His loving breast.
May it find us, wlmherso’er we roam,
And singing ot Heaven conduct us home !
B rd oi the Blest, file’s stormy sea,
From its deep despair, calls up to thee.

Song of the Street
Rushing ’round the corners,
Chasing every friend,
Plunging into banks—
Nothing there to lend—
Piteously begging
Os every man you meet.
Bless nie ! this is pleasant,
“Shinning” on the street.
Merchants very short.
Running neck and neck.
Want to keep a’going—
Praying lor a check ;
Dabblers in stocks,
Blue as blue can be,
Evidently wishing
They were “laucy free.”
All our splendid railroads
Got such dreadful knocks,
Twenty thousand Bulls
Couldn’t raise their stocks;
Many of the Bears
In the trouble sharing,
Now begin to feel
They’ve been over-Bearing.
Risky Speculators
Tumbling with the shock,
Nevermind stopping
More than any clock ;
Still they give big dinners.
Smoke and drink and sup,
Going all the better
For a winding up
Banking institutions,
Companies of “trust,”
With other people’s money
Go off* on a bust;
Houses of longstanding
Crumbling in a night—
With so many “smashes,”
No wonder money’s tiout
Gentlemen of means—
Having lots to spend—
Save a little sympathy.
Nothing have to lend ,
Gentlemen in Want-
Willing to pay double—
Find that they can borrow
Nothing now but trouble
Hall our men ol business
Wanting un extension,
While, neatly all the otliors
Contemplate suspension ;
Many of them, though.
Don’t appear to dread it ;
Every cent ihey owe
Is so much to their credit.
Brokers all are breaking
Credit all is cracked.
Women all expanding
As the Banks contract.
Panic still increavng—
Where will the trouble end,
While all ham s want to borrow.
And nobody can find ?
Running round the corners,
‘Prying every source,
Asking at the Banks—
Nothing there, of course,
Money getting tighter
Misery complete,—
Bless me! this is pleasant,

WALL-STREET.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Northern Difficulties and Southern safety.
He is the practical statesman, the real reformer
who recalls tiie public mind tronnfancies to facts—
from the lessors of theory to the lessons of experi
ence. You cannot extinguish a prejudice by tear
ing il out by the roots. You must convince, not
crush, a mistaken judgment or an erroneous opin
ion. Let us illustrate:
‘lhe cry against the people of the South, which,
after the attacks upon their peculiar institutions,
has done the most to exasperate them, has been
their comparative lack of enterprise in commerce,
manufactures, railroads, schools, &.c.
This lias been sounded along the whole fron
tier dividing the free States from the South. It
has been printed and preached with industry un
paralleled. The public mind in the North and
North-west has been asked to take it for true; has
been scolded into it, and railed into it, even reason
ed into it. To prove the sincerity of the contrast,
the free States have gone into all sorts of “enter
prise” with very madness. We have had marble
banks “run up” like the pa'ace of Aladdin, almost
in a night, every pili‘ costing its thousands, every
architrave laid in bard earned gold, every brick ce
mented to its fellow by the sweat of honest toil.—
Railroads have been improvised. Cities have
sprung into existence as sudden (and as fleeting)
as so many exhalations. Great factories have ris
en in towering lines, and men have been made
glad with the music of industry. From all these
have grown the superb mansions of moneyed prin
ces; last horses, fast men, fast boys and fast girls.
Such is the reverse of the picture. While the
South stood still, the North moved cm!
So the accusation against the South was not one
of words. Behold the fruits of the accusation, and
draw the contrast for yourself
We disdain making a party appeal at such a
time as this. The curse of journalism, in these
days, is the habit of charging everything bad to
party, on the one hand, or claiming everything good
for party on the other. We scorn any such pur
pose.
But now, when we see the whole South—the
South without enterprise ot resources, as we have
been told—standing solid on her material interests,
on her mighty staples, and in her proud isolation
from the blast that has swept down so ninny of
those who have been taunting and depreciating her,
let us take the admonition thus furniished to us,
and profit by it like wise men.
Let us ask ourselves bow our bitter reproaches
against the South sound to us now?
How little we could do without her money in our
cities, her timber in our waters, her cotton in our
rnilis ?
How we should stand if she would fall?
How we selfishly rejoice in our hearts in the
midst of our distress, that, for our sake, she should
be so much hotter off than Cve, and, therefore, bet
ter able to help vs than u>e are to help ourselves !
We do not charge it as a leiorl upon those win
have delightedsu these gibes upon the South, tlia
most ot the great distress under which the country
staggers comes Irom quarters ilia’ have been so
many hot-beds of Abolitionism; but we *ugges
that this is a good point from which to date a re
vival offraternal feeling between the States of this
Union!
From which to start another war upon sectional
istn ;
From which to swear devotion anew to the U
nion and to the Constitution ;
From which to recall the banished affections for
our brothers of the Sonth;
From which to re-invoke the old relations that
made us one in religion, one in country, one in the
battle-field, and one in heart.
Views of the “Crisis.”
A New York correspondent of the Charleston
Mercuty, writing on the 15th inst.,gives the follow
ing opinions concerning the financial “crisis” ol the
North :
From what can be gathered by an outsider, the
difficulties here are not ended, but the parties im
mediately concerned are not (lie mercantile com
munity or the public generally. The Railroad com
panics of tiie North and Northwest, with their
stockholders and creditors, and the speculators in
Western lands, with those from whom they have
obtained money on loan, are the parties involved.
Land speculators, particularly in town lots and
skeleton cities of the West, have been too eager,
and, in their competition, have run lands beyond
their present and immediately prospective value.
This bubble is likely to burst ere long. Then a
large portion o! the funds, by means of which these
Rolrtiads have been built—perhaps four filths—
were borroweu from England and elsewhere. They
me not paying interest. The payments of princi
pal are tailing due. England wants now all the
money she can get, to meet the difficulties of her
perilous position in India. That source of reve
nue and sutiply to her is entirely cut off—she must
iook elsewhere. The late difficulties here, more
over are likely to create uneasiness, and both to
make the creditors stringent and to fetch these Rail
Road bonds on the market.
In this state of things, it is probable there will be
a crash, and stockholders and speculators must
suffer. The public of the whole North is likely to
suffer, indirectly, by a consequent stringency iii the
money market, as it is now doing, until the rotten
ness of these schemes is probed to the bottom, and
the monetary world of the North brought back to
a healthy condition. The tightness of money here
cannot but effect the discounts and loans through
out the South, under the present system of doing
business. .Money is coming and will pour in here
lor the purpose of taking advantage ofihe pressure
and the necessities of business men, aud shaving
at a handsome speculative profit which, legiiiiriate
ly engaged at home, il cannot make. Wiih this
prospect, it is improbable that those here engaged
in regular business and at all prudent will tail to
meet their engagements. Business men of the
South, under the present banking system, must al
so rise to the speculative value of money thus em
ployed in shaving, or to a certain extent, miss their
accommodation. By timely preparation, all who
tire in a prosperous conditinn, and can stand a
squeeze, will readily weather the storm. Business
generally, at the North is on a sound footing, and
the South was never safer or more prosperous.—
A general convulsion, similar to that of 1837, can
not occur.
From the N. Y. Evening Post.
1837-1857.
The Dismal Jimmys of financial circles find what
Mr. Buchanan expected to have found at ihe late
Mr. Marcy’s funeral, “a melancholy pleasure,” in
comparing the present state of itiings with the
commercial crisis of 1837, and in predicting as gen
eral and wide-spread disaster now as then. Per
sons who talk this way were either in too much
trouble then, or they must be in oomuch I rou
ble now to see anything beyond their own narrow
horizon correctly. Wiih as much propriety might
they attempt to deduce practical lessons lor our
guidance nowfiom ihe famine panic at home when
besieged by the Gauls.
In 1837, we were importing from Europe la ge
quantifies of grain to supply our necessities, in ad
difion to our usual importations of merchandise.—
We hud experienced a loss of over .$20,000 000
by he most disastrous fire this country ever expe
rienced. The winter of 1836 was one of the very
coldest ever known iu this climate, and was follow
ed by a backward spring, a short summer, and a
general failure of the crop. Added to this, (be
country was possessed with an insane passion for
speculation in wild and unproductive lands. With
nothing to pay with, without crops to live upon,
with wealth ail invested in lands of no current
value, with destructive fires and inclement skie-,
began the revulsion which over-trading and mad
speculation rapidly ripened into general bank
ruptcy.
But how different is our present condition ! There
iias been, without question, much over-trading,
much bad management and extravagance, Bnd yet
Iherejort of the Secretary of die Treasury shows
that we have exported, inclusive of specie, during
the fiscal year ending Ist July, last, some millions
more than we have imported. The crojm of the
country are the largest ever known ; almost every
section| >f our land reports bounteous harvests, and
there is every prospect of a good foreign demand
at (air prices for all the grain and flour we can sup
ply Through the troubles in India, and the general
increasing foreign demand,our pork and beef, which
have become impo'tant articles of export, will r.,;n
rnand probably double iheiraveiage value, and we
shall have a greatly increased supply. The puis
pects for a fully fair crop of cotton are promising,
and prices are nearly or quite double those of aver
age yeats. Throughout the Iu: ; ‘?• and b.eadth of
the land there is an unusual prospect of late lafi
pastures, and roots for sustenance of cattle, which
is a matter of more importance than is generally
considered. California is sending us regularly
more than forty millions if gold per annum, a con
siderable portion of which remains in circulation
in the interior of our country. Emigration to our
shores of a more thrifty class of people, is steadily
onward, and through the m -ney they hting, togeth
er with their industrious habits, our western States
are reaping a rich harvest. These are fact 6 plain
to every observer, and present a state of things as
different from what prevailed here in 1837, as it is
easy to conceive occurring in any country within
so short a period us 20 years. VVe areal a great
deal w ser for vvtiai has occurred. Several enor
mous bubbles have exploded, credit will hereafter
rest on a sounder, and therefore, more profitable
basis, and unless something happens not lying
within the range ot probabilities, our next New
Year’s day will be one ot the happiest and most
prosperous that has ever dawned upon this
country.
The Washington Union on the Financial Crisis.
The Washington Union, September 25th says;
The time has happily passed by when the agricul
tural and manufacturing interests of the country
can be almost ruinously effected by tiie operations
if State bankers and brokers, or the corrupting,
overshadowing influences of a “great regulator”
of the national currency and the exchanges. That
there has been a serious financial crisis in several
of our largest northern and western cities admits
of no dispute; but we suspect that the losses com
plained ofare, to a very considerable extent, more
nominal than real. The enormous decline which
has taken place in the value particularly of rail
road property is the natural sequence of excessive
speculation—of simulating unsafe and unknown
stocks to the point of gambling prices. As far as
we have observed, the “crisis” has not forced any
railroad stock to any sennits extent below its real
intrinsic value,or prevented any company from de
claring an honestly made dividend. The decline,
we fancy, has been from the ruling, fictitious fig
ures of the speculators to the trvmg standard of
real capital and real in vestments. In other words,
no inconsiderable share of the enormous losses of

There is no occasion for alarm or distrust, but

States, upon the gold depositee of California, and
he iron and coal deposites ot Pennsylvania and Vir

’desst-d as they have been, and continue to be. in a
remarkable degree, by a kind and beneficent Prov
idence, it is quite likely that the great mass of the
people will not be seriously inconvenienced by the
money panics and money disasters of any city in
the Union.
Captain Herndon,
We are indebted to the Alexandria Sentinel for
the following biograph cal sketch of the gallant
tnd liniversally-lameiited commander of the ill
fated Central America •
Captain William Lewis Herndon was a native of
Fredericksburg, Va., and was the son of Dabney
Herndon, Esq., a highly respeeltd citizen of that
place. He was born October 25th, 1813, and was,
herefore, at the time of his death, 44 years of age,
29 ot which he had spent iu the service of his
country. He entered the navy as a midshipman
at the age of fifteen.
About two years ago he was transferred from the
U. S. frigate Potomac to the command of the
“George Law.” The Califon ia steamers carrying
U. S. mails, are requited by law to be under the
command of officers of the navy, and Lieut. Hern
don was chosen for the responsible post. The n me
of the George Law was, only a lew weeks ago,
changed to that of the Central America.
Lieut. Herndon was married 20 years since to
an estimable lady ot Virginia. He was of a slight
figure, but of an intrepid spirit. He was as gen
tie as he was brfdfc’. In ttie navy be was univer
sally beloved. In all quarrels between officers lie
was known as a peacemaker. He never made an
enemy. For 15 years he bad been a member of
the Episcopal church. He often read the services
on boaitl his ship, and the humblest sailor was not
committed to the deep without the burial service
being read over his remains by bis captain,
He rendered the country gallant services in the
Florola war.
He was in the Mexican war under Commmodore
Perry, and was selected by President P..lk to ilie
honorable and dangerous service of exploring the
Amazon.
He entered South America by the way of Pent,
and, crossing tiie Andes, came to the sources and
branches of file Amazon, and in bis barque drif ed
or rowed down us immense length to Para, in Bra
zil, in the delight and amazement of his friends,
who,from Ins long stay upon the upper waters, had
almost given him up for lost. His admirable aud
instructive report to the government of this explo
ration is known to everybody in this country, and
it has been read and re-read with like delight in all
parts of the worid.
Monument to Baron Steuben.
The Germans recently held a festival at Rich
mond, Virginia, to raise means to erect a monument
to the memory of Baron Steuben. Such a token
of remembrance is due to his great services. Con
tributions in its aid ought not to be limited to any
class of our people. The entire Union owes him a
debt which cannot be paid bv a simple monument.
Though born in ihe heart ol Europe, under an ab
solute King, he was the true and unflinching friend
of liberty, and pledged his life to her service in
America. He hail been an aid de-camp to Freder
ick the Great, of Prussia, and had afiained the
rank of lieutenant general in his at my. Sacrificing
li n rs and emoluments in Ins native ’land in 1777,
lie came to America and tendered his services to
Congress, as a volunteer, claiming neither rank nor
compensation. He joined Washington at Valley
F Tge. H- was one of the best drill officers in
the army, and bis system, at’erwards pubbshed,
constituted our manual of tactics down to the war
ot 18 12. He was one of the most self sacrificing
men that ever lived. Congress made him inspect
or general with the rank of major general. On the
surrender of Cornwallis, whoso first off-r to capit
ulate was made to him, in order to extend civilities
to the captured officers, like others of his rank, he
sold bis favorite charger lo raise ttie necessary
means. His watch went to relieve ihe sick and
wounded ot one army. Much of his pay was dis
posed ol in the same manner. The money voted
him by Congress was expended in acts of charity
or rewarding good conduct among soldiers. His
abhorrence ot treason was manifested by inducing
a soldier by the name ot Arnold to change his
name. That soldier and his descendants were ev
er known by that of the glorious old soldier “Steu
ben.” After the war, Washington and Hamilton
secured him an annuity of $2,500 from the Gene
ral Government. New Jersey gave him a farm.—
Virginia voted him 15,000 acres ofland. which was
located in Kentucky. New York gave him 16.000
acres, situated north of Utica, in the town ot Rem
sen, upon which he resided at the time oftiis death,
in 1795. Some of his countrymen came and set
tled with him upon his lands, for whom he made
provision in bis will which manifested the generos
ity and goodness of his hea it. The residue of Ins
estate he willed to Benjamin Walker and William
Norlh, who hud been bis aids. Tie latter subse
quently attained eminence in New York, and be
came successively, State and United States Sena
tor, and afterwards adjutant genera! of oor army.
Gener.il North’s interest, under Steuben’s will, pass
ed to Walker, and the rights of his representatives
have recemly been acted upon in the Pension < fi
bre. In framing the provisions of his wil l , the old
Baron followed the dictates of his own feelings
rather than the precedents emanating Loot other
minds. He required his faithful servants to bury
him upon bis estate, but witha a caution and se
crecy that should preclude the possibility of others
finding his remains. This injunction was observed
by those of his household who loved aud ve’ era ed
him; and, to this day, the resting pace of li is re
mains is unknown to the public, unless certain re
cent judicial proceedings in New York contain ma
terial error.
Such was Frederic William Augustus, Baron
Von Steuben. H-i was a patriot and true friend
of American liberty, who sacrificed fortune and
honor in Prussia to serve the intant cause ol liberty
in a disiaut land. He was as brave atn;n as lived,
and as gentle as brave. His heart was want), true,
and faithful, without a selfish streak in it. All
America should join in erecting his monument, and
lathers should recount on the family hearthstone
bis noble virtues and his pure and unselfish acts,
and urge their imitation. When they have done
so, we hope they will ask their sons if the know
nothing creed should apply to such a man, and to
Lafayette, Kosciusko, and the hundreds of others
from foreign lands who have done honor to them
selves in serving liberty in our country.— Washing

Why Spain Suspended ftoslililies with Mexico.
The Pari correspondent of the London Times,
speaking of the suspension of all hostile proceed
ings by Mexico against Spain, says it was done
through ttie intervention of France and England,
wlficli powers threaiened to leave Spain to the
consequences of her precipitation ; that one of these
consequences was the great danger of the United
States interfering in behalf of Mexico, and endan
gering Cuba. He says Spain’s plan was to light
up civil war in Mexico, and to reinstate Santa Anna
in the Presidential chair. Communications had
been opened with bin , and age. t ofliis had ar
rived at Madrid. Id ihe back ground, and contin
gent on many circumstances, was a plan, mooted
and discussed in Spain, of converting Mexico into
a monarchy witha Spanish Bourbon on the throne.
Such a scheme as litis, the writer adds, could it be
realized, would be the commencement of a civil
war. at and would probably have the effect of throw
ing Mexico into the arms ol the United States.—
Quire probable! Spain has shown her wisdom
in lettmg Mexico alone. There is no guarantee
she could get from France and England which
would hit ve saved Cuba, in the event oi a war be
tween her and Mexico.
