Ifthtfe effects have been produced by the embargo, furely it would be unwjfe to relax this defenfive meafure, un til thof* orders are repealed which caufed its adoption. Captain Hopkins is one of thofe unfortunate fufferers under the or ders of council who was obliged to land his cargo in England, patt of which was not allowed to be fold there, nor allowed to be t xported to any other part of the v/orld.

Sept. 3 . Lx trail cf a letter from a gentleman 1 at Columbia, to the Editor , dated Auguft 2i. 1 rode down to Col. Hampton’s, yefterday, by invitation, to view his Screw Prefs for packing cotton in For hr or Wahoo Bark. This project I had heard of before ; but did not deem the thiVg practicable; indeed thought it a vifiunary fcheme, myfelf, however, as well as a num ber of other gentlemen, had occu lar and fatisfa&ery demonftration, that 276 pounds of cotton can be preffed in a Bark Envelope or bag, the contents of which in cubic meafure, is only 14 cubic feet.— The prels was abour 15 minutes in packing the bale; and the whole operation of putting the cotton in to the prefs, and ferewing it down, and fewing on the cover, and cord ing the bale, and turning it out of the prefs, may confume about one hour. He has three of thefe prtftes which coft him fifty dollars a piece for the workmanftiip only. The bales are fquare, lock very neat, and are very ftrorg, about four and a half feet long, tw o feet deep, and a foot and a half wide. The bark ropes, &rc. which compcfe the co ver, weigh about 12 pounds. Hr packs ten bags of cotton, covered in this way, with bark and mats, for the price of five yards of cotton bagging.—This faves him nine tenths of the expence of brggirg for his cotton; renders him iae- foreign manufactories for iharlljicle, and therefore lefa fuf:epti6lc%f injury from the em bargo. “ I like wife took a lock at his Looms. They weave cotton, woo], and the hair of horned cattle, into good * fubftanjtial cloth. He will make enough of it this year, he fays, to clothe ail his negroes: The cloth is twilied, and will be very warm and iafting. “ He (hewed a ca’f of the En gftfh breed, five months old. I guefs it would weigh from 200 to 250 pounds : it has had only half the milk of the dam. He had 35 of this year’s lambs fhorn fome time - ago 3 the average weight of their fleeces was two pounds a piece. He jikewife carries on the tanning bufinefs excen lively. ’ His bark qiu with thirty faws will reduce to fine powder three tons of bark a day, he informed me j and the force ne ceffary to work it is but a two horfe power. “ Waring’s Paper-Mill goes on well.
