One night the young man with all the officers was j
invited to an entertainment at the captain » house.
He went, and to his astonishment mounted the
identical steps, up which two years before tripped
the bright vision he had never forgotten. Thump
went his brave heart, as he was ushered into the
great parlor; and like a sledge-hammer it beat •
a train when Captain Ilume introduced his blne

His homely but earnest act of politeness towards
his child hud pleased the Captain, and, though the
youth knew it not, was the cause of his first pro
motion. So that now the old man has retired trom

Wells. In fact, our honest sailor is one of the
richest men in the Crescent City, and he owes, per- (
baps, the greatest part of his prosperity to his tact
and politeness in crossing the street.
A Capital Story. —Some years since, an eccen
tric old genius, whom for convenience we will call
Burnes, was employed by a farmer living in a town
some six or seven miles westerly from the Pen
obscot river, to dig a well. The soil and sub
stratum being mostly sand, old Burnes, after having
progressed down ward .about forty feet, found one
morning upon going out to his work that the well
alWWVl»*>Vn, wA «m(iiU **•
top. 8<» having that desire which men have, of
knowing what will be said of them after they are
dead, and no one being ret astir, lie concealed him
self in a rank growth of burdocks by the side of a
board fence near the mouth of the well, having first
left his hat and frock upon the windlass over the
well. At length, breakfast being ready, a boy was
despatched to call him toliis meal, when lo! and be
hold ! it was seen that Burnes was buried jn the
grave unconsciously dug by his own hands. The
alarm being given and the family assembled, it was
aecided first to eat breakfast and then to send for
the coroner, the minister, and his wife and children.
Bucli apathy did not flatter Barnes’ self esteem a
bit, but he waited patiently, determined to hear
what was to be said and see what was to be seen.
Presently all parties arrived and began “pros
pecting” the scene of the catastrophe, as people
usually do in such case. At length they drew to
gether to exchange opionions as to what should be
done. The miuister at once gave it as his opinion,
that they hud better level up the well and let
Burnes remain; for, said he, he is now beyond the
temptation to sin, and in the day of judgment it
will niako no diflereucc whether he is buried five
feet under the ground or fifty, for he is bound to
come forth in either case.” The coroner likewise
agreed that “ it would be a needless expense to his
family or the town to disinter him when he was so
effectually buried,” and therefore entirely coin
cided with the minister. His wife thought that as
“ he had left his hat and frock, it would be hardly
worth while to dig him out for the rest of his clothes;
und so it was settled to let him remain. But poor
oldjlbirnes, who bad no breakfast and was not at all
pleased with (fee result of the inquest, laid quiet un
til thesliade of the evening stole over the landscape,
then he quietly decamped to parts unknown.
After remaining incognito lor about three years,
one morning he suddenly appeared and
frock less as he went) at the door of the farmer for
whom he liad agreed to dig the unfortunate well.
To say that an avalanche of questions were raiued
upon him as to his mysterious reappearance, Ac.,
would convey but a feeble idea of the excitement
which his bodily presence creuted. But the old
man bore it all quietly, and at length informed
ihern that on finding himself buried he waited for
them to dig him out until his patience was ex
hausted, when he set to work to dig himself out,
and only the day before had succeded! for his ideas
being somewhat confused by the pressure of the
earth at the time he was buried, he had dug very
much at random, and instead of coming directly to
the surface, he came out in the town of Holden , «>
mile* cast of the Penobscot river !
No further explanations were sought for by those
who were so distressed and sorrowful over his sup
posed final resting place.

Kansas—Letter from Senator Mason.
Wixchrrtrr, Va., July 22d, 1857.
’ Mr. Editor —Dear Sir: In your paper of Mon
day last, in an article headed u Walker’s Usurpa
, tion,” I observe the following paragraph:
“But we are told that Hunter, and Mason, and
other distinguished southern Senators, in the de
bate on the Nebraska-Kansas bill, expressed the
same opinion, that Kansas must be a free State,”
Ac.
I cannot undertake to say what opinions may
have been expressed by my nonored colleague, or
by other Senators from the South, in reference to
the probable condition of Kansas; though from a
Stneral knowledge of their views in regard to
at Territory, I should not doubt that any opin
ions so expressed, would have reference to circum
stances and contingencies necessarily qualifying
them. To avoid misconstruction, however, 1
think it proper to say that I never expressed the
opinion thus ascribed to me; because I never en
tertained it. At the time the law passed organ
izing the Territorial Government, there were few
with whom I conversed who did not believe that
the future State would take its place with those re
cognizing and cherishing the condition of African
slavery. There was at that time, certainly, every
reason to believe why this should be so, and none
why it should not. The State of Missouri, border
ing its eastern frontier, was a slaveholding State,
holding at that time nearlv an hundred thousand
slaves, and these were chiefly held in the border
counties.
The State of Arkansas, adjacent to the Territory,
on the South, was likewise a slaveholding State.
The soil and climate of Kansas were well adapted
to those valuable products, chiefly hemp and to
bacco, which gave value to slave labor in Missouri.
The proximity of its population, with the attrac
tions of new, fertile and cheap land, I believed
would lead the slaveholders in Missouri to diffuse
themselves speedily over Kansas, and the prohibi
tory line of 38:30 being obliterated, there was no
reason why they should not. I had no fear of air
competition in such appropriation of the new Ter
ritory from any quarter. Unfair competition I did
not look to. What may yet be the result as to the
condition of Kansas, notwithstanding the extraor
dinary and unscrupulous efforts of northern Aboli
tionists to force a population there, I cannot un
dertake to say. Nor will I allude m this place to
the new and unexpected aspect now exhibited of
affairs in that Territory, with so much propriety
reprehended in the columns of the South. What
ever may be the information of others, I certainly
am not sufficiently informed of the existing state
of things in Kansas, to form a clear opinion one
way or the other; yeti will venture to say this
much, that if African slavery be ultimately exclu
ded from Kansas, it will be effected by the numeri
cal force of organized majorities, operating against
the usual law's which govern emigration; and will ;
present a new and most instructive lesson to the :
southern States.
Very respectfully, I am, yours, Ac., Ac.,
J. M. Mason. |

Kcmurknble Case—A Wile sent to the 1
Lunatic Agylum by the Husband.
A rather remarkable case was brought up for
decision before Recorder Smith, on Friday, 24th
inst.., on a writ of habeas corpus. The petition for
the writ, which was granted on Tuesday, set forth
that the petitioner, John J*. Berrien, of New York,
was the brother of Maria E. B. Hopkins, for whom
the writ was granted. That the said Maria E. B.
Hopkins was the wife of Samuel J. Hopkins, to
whom she liad been married thirteen years; that
the said Maria was imprisoned in the Lunatic Asy
lum artiloomingdale, and that to the best of peti
tioner’s belief the imprisonment was illegal, for the
following reasons:
First: The physicians who testified to her insani
ty knew nothing about the condition of her mind
at that time, nor two mouths before.
Second: The physicians were not examined by
the Justices.
Third: The Justices were not present when the
physicians w'ere sworn, nor did the physicians in
tend to swear to her being then insane.
Fourth : The evidence of the physicians was not
upon oath.
Fifth : That the testimony was not reduced to
writing.
Sixth: The J ustices were not satisfied that it was
dangerous’for the lunatic to go at large.
Mr. Graham, who appeared for Mr. Berrien, ap
plied forthe discharge of Mrs. Hopkins.
Mr. Ashbcl Green appeared forthe husband, and
desired the case postponed till Tuesday.
Mr. Graham was opposed to Mr. Green having
anything to say or do in the matter; lie had served
a notice on the District Attorney of his intention
asjTimT'was*a ’n WSr. g i ng'to'tEe* public,
tho District Attorney was the proper person. He
was willing to hear the gentleman as a matter of
courtesy but not of right. Mr. Graham then went
on to argue in support of his motion for the dis
charge of Mrs. Hopkins. He said that the marital
right of the husband was gone the moment his
wife became insane, it was her blood relations
alone that must cherish her— her mother, father,
brother und sister, alone possessed the natural
love which was to be extended to her—it could
not be expected of the husband.
Mr. Green contended that lie was present as a
matter of right and duty. He disagreed with Mr.
Graham’s statement in relation to the marital
rights of the husband ending when his wife should
become insane. Marital misfortunes do not sepa
rate a husband and wife.
The recorder said that the fact must be estab
lished as to whether her relatives could support
her. . „
Mr. Graham wished to prove the fact beyond
question. He placed Daniel Berrien upon the
stand, who being sworn, testified that his sister
had considerable means of her own to depend
upon ; he had called at Mr. Hopkins’ house last
week, and ottered to provide and take care of his
sister; he offered to pay twenty dollars per week
for her support.
The Recorder examined the commitment, and
stated that he could not do otherwise than dis
charge Mrs. Hopkins from custody. By the buz
zing of voices around the room, this decision
seemed to afford general satisfaction to nearly all
present. The Recorder stated that the commit
ment was irregular, in consequence of there being
nothing in it which referred to the statute under
which it was made. He said that lie had numer
ous cases where, through carelessness on the part
of those making out the commitment, he was
forced to discharge notorious rascals who deserved
to be in prison.
Mr. Graham stated that the commitment had
been made out in this case by two Judges sup
posed to he sittiug together, blit one had signed it
while on the bench and the other in a room above
stairs. He wished it to go abroad that he did not
recognise the validity of commitments signed by
one Judge in a porter-house and auother down the
street on a corner.
Some excitement was here created by a move
ment near the door, as if the husband was going
to take charge of his wife. The brothers seemed
to think so, for thev asked the Recorder if she
could not go with them. The Recorder replied
that all he could do was to grant her discharge,
which he was in duty bound to do, but afterwards
he iiad no jurisdiction over her.
Some one suggested that she was insane, when
one of the brothers said that if she were in his
charge three months he would challenge any one
to believe any such thing.
A ladv here stepped up to Mrs. Hopkins, and
said, “ Who do you want to go with ?” For a mo
ment after the question was asked a breathless
stillness reigned; but when she answered, in a
calm, clear,' but child-like voice, “ 1 want to go
with my dear brothers,” the room was tilled with
applause, and more than one hurriedlv wiped
away the tear which flowed unbidden down his
cheek. The Recorder stated that he would see
that Mrs. HopkinS was protected in her desire to
go where she pleased.
Officer Lowery then conducted Mrs. Hopkins
and her brothers to the carriage at the door, and
they were soon driven out of sight. The crowd
dispersed, and much satisfaction was expressed at
the way the affair was concluded.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hopkins, who had assaulted Mr.
Berrien, was still under arrest in the Recorder's
office, upon the charge of assault and battery, nis
bail was fixed at SSOO, and his surety soon arriving,
he was permitted to depart.

this decision the several parties consented to the

Look Up*
A ship, becalmed at sea, lay rocking lazily. A
sprightly lad, the captain’s only son, not knowing
what to do. began mischievously to climb the
mast. He had got half-way to the top, when,
turning his eyes below to see how far he was from
the deck, he suddenly grew dizzy. “I am falling,
I am falling,” he cried. “Look aloft,” shouted
bis father, who at that moment was leaving his
cabin. The boy, accustomed instantly to obey
that voice, looked up to where the main-truck
swung against the Bky, recovered heart, went on,
was saved.
We do not give the aneedote as new. Doubtless
every one of our readers has heard it before. But
the story has a significance not always noticed.
Others, besides the captain’s son, have been saved
by looking up. In the dizzy ascent of life many a
man has been on the point of falling, when some
sudden thought has bidden him “look up,” he has
mken courage, has persevered, has won the prize.
Bruce, when he saw the spider fall Bix times, yet
succeed at the seventh, was of this class. So was
Washington, when Cornwallis had driven him
across the Delaware, and, when, instead of giving
up in despair, he suddenly collected all his re
sources, fell on the British lines and achieved the
victory at Trenton.
There come times in the experience even of the
bravest when the heart is ready to give up. Afflic
tion after affliction, for example, has assailed him
till hope itself despairs. Perhaps a favorite child
has been suddenly stricken down. Perhaps a ter
rible epidemic has destroyed more than one little
one. Perhaps the wife of his bosom is no more.
Perhaps, by one of those awful catastrophes which
occasionally occur, his entire family has been
swept into eternity in a moment of time, in the
twinkling of an eye. He feels as if there was no
longer any object for him in life. In the first
shock of his agony he would not care even if news
was brought to him that his fortunes were bank
rupt, that he was a disgraced beggar. But by-and
by, a still, small voice within whispers, “ look up.”
lie sees the sky is still as bright as ever, the breeze
as blessed, the trees as beautiful. He bears the
waters run, leaping and laughing, down the hill
side. glistening in silver as they go. The earth is
not less lovely than before, the stars are as number
less, the ocean aud mountain as sublime. Hisfeliow
creatures have the same kindly heart towards him.
He owes them the same old duties. Gradually he
realises that he has much yet to live for. In time
even he regains a subdued and quiet happiness.
He has learned to look up.
A great financial crisis overtakes the strong man
in the midst of his schemes. He gathers up all
his resources, contending gallantly and desperately
long after hope is over; struggling for his family
rather than for himself; fighting, agonizing, like
Laocoqn in the serpent’s folds. It will not do. |
The mighty whirlwind, whose outer eddies he has
been striving to resist, wheels down upon him in
all its power; he is torn up in an instant; he is
hurled on the ground ; he is left breathless, bruised
and seemingly dead. At first, when he regains
sensation after the overwhelming shock, he is
without hope. He has neither strength nor wish
to resume his work. He is willing that the tem
pest shall sweep the wrecks of his fortune out of
j sight forever. It is useless, lie says to himself,
even to try to regain what he has lost. At last, a
gentle wife or sympathizing friend bids him not to
despair. “ Look up,” they say. He looks. At
once he is a new man. He recovers his name and
fortune.
In every circumstance of life, “look up.” Are
you about to enter a profession V Aim at no scc<*n
darv success; fix your mark high; “look up.”
Are you a merchant ? Become a leader in your
business, and to do this, first “look up.” Are you
ambitious of political distinction? Scorn to be a
mere demagogue; resolve to be a statesman, “look
up.” Is authorship your wish ? Endeavor to take
rank among the classics of your language by stu
dying manner as well as matter*; aspire to triumph
greatly and permanently, rather than prematurely;
iu a word, “look up.”
All! if all would only “look up.” But some
never hear the cheering words. Some diregard
them. Os the thousands who have failed utterly
in life, or met tnly a secondary success, the majori
ty owe their misfortunes to not “looking tip.” In
sorrow or disaster, remember the boy upon the
dizzy mast, and “look up, look up.”

agitating the public mind, wreathed imperishable
garlands upon his brmv. 'Tvv.is a glorious day
for the banner county. Jle spoke of the principles
of the Nobraska-Kansas bill, who stood upon it—
who voted for it—and he stated that every south
ern Democrat who lmd not aflilliated with the
Know Nothing party voted for it, and that most of
the southern Wnigs stood firm with the Democrat
ic party in the measure, but not a solitary Know
Nothing voted for it. lie spoke of the alien suf
frage law having been opposed by Sam’s party
because the foreign vote was cast for the Democra
cy. Many other more than important issues
were ably discussed, lie propounded many Ques
tions to Col. Hill whose answers strengheuea the
position of the Democratic candidates. He asked
Hill if he was in favor of the sale of the State
road? Hill answered emphatically ‘ I am,” and
that the proceeds of said sale should be applied to
paying the debts of the State, and lessening the
taxes, the remainder, if anv, to be applied to edu
cational purposes. Col. Hill displayed his igno*
ranee, to the amusement of many, in reply to a
quorry stating that the Legislature of Georgia has
passed no law authorising the Governor to call a
convention under certain contingencies where the
rights of the South should be trampled upon &c. f
Ac. Beautiful indeed! asking the people to elect
him to administeiflaws that he is himself ignorant
of. Our paper is going to press, and we haven’t
time this week to say anything more, further, than
Judge Brown and Col. Gartrell demeaned them

A Sai» Wedding. —After publishing the mar
riage of Mr. Tate, of Chicago, to Miss Jennette
Peitigrew, late of Scotland, the Chicago Tribune
adds—“ There is a bit of romance, sad enough in
its character, connected with this announcement,
which the parties will forgive us for relating. Six
young Scotchmen of this city, worthy men all,
who had left their plighted faith and lassies behind
them w hen they sought contentment and fortune
on our shores, united for the purpose of sending
for those to whom their troth was plighted. They
were to, and did come out together/ For mutual
protection and society they took passage in the same
vessel. The perilous ocean voyage was made with
out accident, and the party—a merry and happy
one—arrived safely at Quebec, where they took
passage on the Montreal. Our readers know aud
have lamented the fate that overtook that ill-fated
iteamer and her hundreds of passengers.
When sh# burned, of the six trusting and gen
erous girls, Miss Pettigrew was theSnlyonc saved.
Her five companions found either fierv or watery
graves. Miss P. was rescued, she knows not how
or by whom. Taken up for drowned, the struggle
bet ween lite and death was loug aud doubtful; but
at last decided iu iavor of the former. The kind
hearted at Montreal learned her history and ad
mired her modest worth. By them, for she had
lost everything but herself, tier immediate necessi
ties were supplied; and in a few days, with their
blessing auu prayers, she continued her journey
hither. A lew of the six young men, who, besides
the now happy husbaud, had precious freight on
that steamer, attended the wedding on Tuesday
last. How sad that festive gathering was—how
the shadow of the fearful past dimmed the bright
ness of the present, who, that has not felt the de
stroyer's touch, can tell?”
Gen. W alker addressed a number of citizens
last uiglit in front of the Montgomery Hall. He
spoke about three-fourths of an hour, in quite an
eloqueut and audible strain, and his remarks were
received with evident marks of satisfaction by his
hearers, who frequently cheered him during the
'progress ot his speech. He will remain in our city
during the day, when his multitude eft’ admirers
will have an opportunity of tendering him their
congratulations, and of bidding him God speed m
the cause in which he is engaged.
Those who have had the pleasure of making the
acquaintance of Gen. Walker appear to be much
prepossessed in his favor. He will take his de

The Mob Murders in lowa.— Shocking Scene*.
It is time that the lynchings which have recently
, taken place in lowa were called by the right names,
i and the legal tribunals of the State were setting
, about to vindicate the majesty of the law by the
1 punishment of the wretches who have taken the
j laws in their own hands. The hanging of Wn.
i B. Thomas, in Montezuma, was as foul a murder as
r was ever perpetrated by a midnight assassin. The
1 Oshkosh Herald gives the following additional par
* ticulars of the event:
} “No sooner was the decision of the Court given,
t (changing the venue, in order that he might have
. a fair trial) than a regularly organized mob, of
[ about two hundred men, proceeded to the old
i Court House, where the prisoner was confined, and
. demanded and by force took Thomas from the cus
\ tody of the Sheriff, and amid the terrifying shrieks
. of the prisoner and the most hellish revelings of
, the mob, carried him away to a tree which they
i had previously prepared, in the suburbs of the
i town. Here, without even adhering to the cus
■ toms of lynch law, or abiding by the honor of mob
■ force, they placed the rope around the prisoner’s
: neck and demanded a confession of the crime.
The prisoner plead his innocence. The rope was
drawn over a limb, and the prisoner swung into
. the air. After a few struggles he was let dowD,
and again demanded to make confession. Again
he pleaded innocent of the crime. Again he was
hung up and a fire kindled beneath his feet. The
mob threatened to burn him if he did not confess
the murder. Again he was let down. From the
strangulation received, he had lost his strength
and his voice. The mob still demanded a confes
sion. The prisoner, in the faintness of death, per
sisted that he was innocent. Again he was hung
up, where he remained until he was dead.”
The Herald says that this makes the tenth vic
tim of mob violence in lowa, since the first of last
April—four m Jackosn, five in Cedar and one in
Poweshiek.
Democratic .State Convention.— This body as
sembled yesterday in Baltimore for the purpose of
nominating candidates for the respective offices of
State to be filled by election during the ensuing
fall. For Governor, Col. John C. Groome, of Cecil
county, received the nomiuation by acclamation.
The delegates seem to have been entirely prepared
for the choice of this gentleman as the nominee,
and there was consequently no attempt at the
formality of the ballot. He is well known and
highly esteemed as a man of tried probity and
zealous patriotism. Formerly attached to the
Whig party, of which he was an energetic mem
ber, he has more recently been associated with the
| Democracy, and is now selected as their standard
bearer in the coming campaign.
For comptroller of the treasury, Bradley T.
Johnson, of Frederick county, was unanimously
chosen. For lottery commissioner, the Conven
tion upon the second ballot chose Dr. Joshua R.
Nelson, of Harford county ; and for commissioner
of the land office the choice of the Convention was
Mr. Jas. Murray, of Anne Arundel county, who
received the nomination on the first ballot. These

Hail and Thunder Storms.—On Thursday of
last week a violent thunder and hail storm passed
over various sections of Maryland and Virginia.
In Carrol county, Md.,near Union Mills, the crops
were considerably injured. A tree in Westminster,
standing near the house of E. F. Crout, Esq., was
struck by lightning, and Mr. J. Durbin, who was
at work in the bouse of Mr. Wm. Shreeve, near
by, was severely stunned. In the Patuxent sec
tion of St. Mury’s county, Md., great damage was
done to corn and tobacco. In Culpepper county,
Vu., the storm partook something ot the charac
ter of a whirlwind, and played sad havoc with
everything iu its track.
In York county, Pa., the farmers in the vicinity
of Shrewsbury and Logansville suffered heavy
losses—their crops, especially the corn, having
j been so cut up that no yield can be looked for. A
| few miles South of Logansville four cows were un-
I der a tree, and a stroke of lightning killed them
all. The storm did much damage m the neigh
borhood of Glcnnrock and a part ot North Codorus
township in the same county.

A Jkst Worth the Telling.—lt is well known
to our readers that, there appeared in the Sunday
Time* some two months since a very full report of
General Walker’s speech delivered the previous
ev**mn« <im mr rretirra* VW« ..Uiov <*.£ *
ournalihat slmll be nameless, not having printers
in liis pay sufficient to set up material to fill his
paper, called upon us a day or two afterwards, and
asked us as a favor to loan him any of our undis
tributed matter that would occupy his untenanted
columns. We readily acceded to his request, and
furnished him with Gen. Walker’s speech and the
Rev. I)r. Scott's article on Efficacy of Prayer,
which he had been kind euougli to send us from
San Francisco.
By some strange accident the political speech
and the prayer oecame wedded together in the
pages of our cotemporarv, so that the readers were
led to infer that Gen. Walker, in the midst of his
fiery address, became suddenly pious, and held
forth in prayerful tones worthy of the Rev. Dr.
Scott. The one was so beautifully dovetailed into
the other, that any ordinary person might be easi
ly deceived.
Yesterday morning we received, among our ex
changes, a religious paper of great authority with
a certain religions sect, which copies the speech
with the interpolated prayer, and supplies its read
ers with an editorial on the subject. The editor
avows his conversion to Walker’s Nicaraguan doc
trines, as he gathers from the hero’s speech unmis
takable evidence that the General’s peculiar mis
sion is to Protestantize Central America. This is
not the first time that men have been supposed to
sow with grape shot the seeds of the gospel.

Washington’, July 31.
Advices from Havana confirm the previous re
port received from Kuror.e by the Asm, that the
Spanish naval and military expedition against
Mexico is abandoned. This affair, which has been
so fruitful of speculation on this side of the At
lantic, is at an cud. It is rather remarkable, but
true, that though this subject was one of profound
interest to this country, yet the Federal Govern
ment did not receive a word in relation to it from
our Minister in Spain. For most of the informa
tion which we did receive, we were indebted to
the Madrid correspondent of the London Times.
The agents and correspondents of the press,
European and American, are now to be found at
every important point, and beiug generally con
versant with the language and public affairs of
their places of sojourn, are able to supply accurate
information as to passing events, political or com
mercial. The representatives of the press, more
than the representatives of governments, are to
be relied upon by the public for information.
Intelligence by the last Panama steamer shows
that Costa Rica and Nicaragua will act in concert
in regard to the concession of the right of way
across the Isthmus to some American company.
President Mora, it is stated, is authorized by the
provisional government of Nicaragua to grant the
right of way upon terms beneficial to both of the
States concerned. This is'likely to complicate the
question, so fir as this government has any con
cern with it.
Mr. W. C Jones, onr commissioner, was not able,
it appears, to conclude the inquiries he was instruct
ed to make so soon as the government [expected.
Mr. Jones speaks the Spanish language’ and will
no doubt make himself master of the facts which
he was sent to investigate. If, as some suppose,
England still has a finger in Costa Rican matters,
Mr. Jones will be very sure to detect and expose it.
Newspaper Quarrels. —The Boston Transcript
very justly says: In our view of the matter there
are'but few editors who have indulged in personal
controversy, and at its close could truly say that
they had neither lost their self respect nor fallen
in the estimation of judicious friends. We know
that the best men in the editorial profession have
looked back upon their personal quarrels and news
paper squabbles as the least profitable portion of
their lives. We do not apprehend the public
really take any more interest in the altercations of
editors than they do in the disputes between per
sons in other walks of life.

WTIHJTB IMPROVED OPEX-THROAT, CURV
ED BREAST, PREMIUM ft DIPLOMA COTTON QINS,
VfAHTA(Tnua) and sold by THOMAS WYNNE,
Jl near Bel-Air, Richmond county, Georgia, Please read
the certificates below.
To PjcxMTnaTbe subscriber respectfully Informs the cot
ton planters of Georgia and South Carolina, that he has entered
the &6ore Improved Gin at four different Fairs, la competition
with nine other*Gina, and tbe Committees have invariably de
cided that my Gin was entitled to the first premium—ai.d I
have been awarded two fSQ Silver Pitchers in Augusta. I en
tered at two Fairs in South Carolina. At Columbia, the Com
mittees said I was entitled to the Gold Medal three to one over
two other competing Gins—but my Gin was ruled out, because
not of South Carolina manufacture. At the Charleston Fair,
however, the Committee awarded me the first premium—a
framed diploma—over the very Gin that received the Gold
Medal at Columbia—which distinctly shows my Gin to be the
beat entered at all the Fairs.
I have made another Improvement on my Riba—which I
maintain places them far in advance of all other Gins. 1 can
make my Ribs equal to two sets, by simply turning a cast but
ton under the top screw board, by which means I obtain the
advantage of having one place to gin Dry Cotton through, and
another to gin Damp, Storm and Yellow Cotton through—
which improves the Cotton, and makes the Gin last twice as
long as the common ribbed Gin will last.

one hundred and twenty-five miles of Augusta:
Common Rib Gins as made by others $2 00 per saw.
Single X (improved open throat curved Breast.. 225 ** •*
Double>< ** ** “ ** .. 250
I warrant my $2 per saw Gin to perform as well, and last as
long as the Gin- of any other maker—and allow fifteen bales to
be ginned for trial.
I warrant rnv Double X to gin double the quantity of any
other commou Rib Gin—and further, that it will gin 800 to 4ou
bales free from clogging or choking in the Ribs. If any Gin of
my construction fails to perform satisfactory, after a fair trial,
I will take it back and put one In its place that will.
My improved self-acting and re-acting Gil Boxes, arc at
tached to all gins of my manufacture, and I will warrant ray
Gins to gin 75 bales of cotton with ouce filling with lard and
tallow—running that number of bales light and free from heat.
RgraisiNo.—l would also say to the planters, that I repair
Gins of every description, attaching to the Gins so repaired ray
improvements, oil boxes, curved breasts. &e.. when desired—at
least all Gins of Georgia make. Those made in .South Carolina
are so constructed that my curved breast cannot be attached.
Orders addressed Thomas Wtnw*, Bel-Air P. 0., Richmond
county, Ga.. will receive prompt attention. Gins will be sent
to any point, in care of a Commission Merchant.
Test.—ls any person doubts what I say about the perform
ance, durability and simplicity of my Gina, I invite ad parties
to give me due notice, and meet me half way with any three
50 saw Gins, to be driven by two mules—that the same may
be tested by three disinterested judges. Each competitor to
take an oath that not a pound of cotton has ever been ginned on
the said Gins. The certificate of the judges to be given to the
best Gin—all gins falling short to be burnt, ami the name of
thcjinaker of the burnt gin to be published by the judges.

I hereby certify that! bought a forty-fire saw Cotton Gin of
Mr. Thomas Wynne, of Bel Air, Ga., in the year 1855; and
having thoreughly tried sold Gin. I am not afraid I shallsay
more for it than It deserves, as that is imnoseible. It gins as
fast, and makes as g<»od lint us 1 wish it to ao. In fact, there is
no deficiency in any respect about It. R. Fostek.
Bel-Air, Ga., July 15,1857.
Mp.. Thomas Wynne—Dear Sir : I cheerfully comply with
your request, and state that you put up a new Gin of forty-five
saws, under obligation that it would turn out eight hundred
pounds of Hot in leu hours. The trial was made In my pre
sence, when the Gin produced more lint thau was agreed upon.
I think nine hundred pounds of lint were turned out each day
it was in operation.
The quality of the cotton was good, and so pronounced by all
who examine*! the samples.
Your obedient servant. Geo. W. Chawfuki*.

Having been a manufacturer of Saw Cotton Gius, for many
years, and knowing their defects, I take pleasure in recommend
ing to all who use this machine, Thomas Wynne’s Improved
Rib; which by Its peculiar form entirely prevents all liability
to choke, and insures a roll, whatever may be the quantity or I
condition of the cotton in the box, thereby producing an Irn- I
proved quality of sotton. IL.nry Clark,

I do hereby certify that I have been using one of Mr. Wynne’s
fifty caw (Jins ou Mr. TUon. W. K. Beall’s plantation; 1 have I
ginned one thousand bales with the Giu, and it has only had j
one whetting, (last lull) and it is a very good Gin yet; and I |
think it will gin as much more cotton before it will want to be j

This Is to certify that 1 have been using Wynne s superior
open-throat curved Breast, on one of Mr. Samuel Griswold's
old Gins, ami 1 have ginned out fifty bales ou the (Jin, and I am
better pleased with its work than any Gin 1 have ever used 1
have used (tins from factories of the highest standing. I intend
to adopt the same plan with another Gin from the same factory,
on another plantation; for lam so well pleased with the one i
had repaired, I can recommend to all persons who want their
old Gins made new, or better than new, to send them to Mr.
Wynne, and I also recommend those in want of new Gins, to
call on Mr. Wynne, near lieVAir, Richmond county, Ga., as I
think they will be well pleased.
The improvement of Mr. Wynne renders them the best for
cleaning the seed, and especially for damp cotton, of any Gin
1 have ever used. John Brown.

Mr. Thomas Wynne—Dear Sir : In regard to my influence,
and relative to your Gins, it appears that the people are hard to
be convinced that your Gins are the best that are made. I have
done and said all I could in praise of your Gins, and shall con
tinue to do so. I have told the people that I would rather pay
you what your gins cost than to have any other man’s make
given to me for nothing, smd when I say so, I talk in earnest
and tell the truth at that. I lent you a certificate to have pub
lished, but have never seen It in the papers. Directly after 1
sent it, I saw you had your publication stopped. Dear sir, if
you should see fit to advertise your gins again, you can fill out
a certificate to suit your own feelings, and put my name to it.
The reason why 1 me you the liberty to fill out a certificate
for me, is because I do not think anything can be said in praise
of your gins, unworthily. My gin makes as good cotton as any
gin can make. I gin every day four bales, each weighing flour
hundred pounds, asd do not have to push at that. I ginned
last year upwards of one hundred bales with one filling of the
self-oiling boxes, and there was enough oil in the boxes to git.
five times that number of bales, free of heat at that. If such
gins as that do not deserve praise, I should like to know what
kind of a gin would merit praise.
Yours, very respectfully. W. M. A-hlkt.

I do hereby certify that 1 bought a fifty-saw fireproof cottou
gin in 1849, of Mr.’Thomas Wynne, of Columbia county, Ga.
I am well pleased with its performance and the quality Epiakes
the cotton, as I always get the highest market price, according
to the quality before ginned. I have ginned four bales per day.
weighing four hundred pounds each, with two horses, with
ease, and it runs free of heat. I would remind ail cotton plan

Wynne, as I think his gins are the best now in use.

Taliaferro Cocntt, Ga., July 24. 1849.
I do hereby certify, to the best of my that I pax
chased from Mr. Thomas W\ nne. of ’Columbia county, Ga., a
forty-two-saw Gin, in the year 1832. I have used it ever since
that time, and it is a very good Gin yet. I have ginned on said
Gin between fifteen hundred and two thousand bales, and it hat
c°* only two whettings during that time, and the first was
by said Wynne. I have always been able to get the highest
market price in Augusta for the'cottoi. ginned ou said gin, at
cording to quality before ginning. I would recommend all per
sons who want to pur-ha<e a good Gin, to try Mr. Wvnne’s, a»
they last a long while with little repairing, and work well, i
think persona trying Mr. Wynne’s Gins, will be well phased.

rarely ever sold better ginned cotton.
Gilham ft Ascnt.
Let this certify that I bare used one of Mr. Wynne’s Cotton
bins for the last two years, and it performs to my entire satis
faction ; and as an evidence of its good performance, I always
get the highest market price for my cotton. As yet there is ho
perceptible wear on the breast of the Gin, which is a proof of
its durability. A few weeks ago I was iu Mr. Thos. Wynne’s
machine shop, and saw Gins in ali stages of progression, from
the beginning to the finish, and from the good materials that
were put iu them, aud the faithful workmanship, 1 con recoin
mend then: as first-rate Gins. Attached to these Gina are wMgt
taxes and oil feeders, which make them fire-proof from file
tion. But they hsvefanother proof, 1 think (at least mine has
“?) which is m*t the least of all proofs and properties of Gin*
viz: they are negro proof; for all the awkwardness aid care
lessness of a negro, won’t put it out of order.
