BROWNS ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE power Press. T HE advantage ol this new POWER PRESS, and its superiorty over all others, ns follows: The power applied is multiplied 440 times, by the Lever aud Eccentric putty, that is, one bdudred pounds power applied to the Lever will exert a force 21.0UU pouuds ou the cdtton. Tbe whole top of tlie kale box is open to receive tbe cotton, and it may be put as uear tue Gin House as is desired. It it three times as powerful as a screw of IS inches diameter, that has a nine inch pitch of thread with the same length of Lever, arid bf course the horse has to walk but one-third as far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third as long to the same work. Aud further, the Press follower descends with much great er rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when but little power ia required, which shortens the distancetravelled by tho liorse, iu proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at the start. This Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, by using the wheel aud axle, and can be so modified as toausweraiiy purposes where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or dotucstic purposes. For cottou it requires one-fourth less work to build, arid three-fouribs leas work to raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Eccentric wheel is used, it will be mochoverhslftbe work to build as a screw. For Pressing Colton. Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, ftc. it cannot be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the screw, aud it is certainly the cheap est ever built. The whole colt ofthe Irons will not exceed $43, which may be had of C. P. Levy, ofMacon, who isthe only person authorized to furuish them. This sum is excluftvc of freight and tho cost of right to nile the Press. If the Ecccntfenflc wheel is iriado bf Iron, the colt will be 10 or 815 more for ihe Ironwork, hut it will materially lessen the cost o( labor on the woud work of the wheel, and will be the cheapest in thcend. Auy good Mechanic esn fcbnitructthe Press from the drawings and specifications which -krill ac company each right. I shall,sell a single right at 810, which sum ciiri be sent by mail at my risk, providing the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster of the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will be accompan ied by sin engraving and a full description, so that auy mechanic will be able to build the Press. Any com munications, post-paid will be punctually attended to a. d. Brown. Clinton. Jones county, April 2d, 1850. Certificate—This will certify that we witnessed atthe plantation of Mr. William Johnson, in Jones county, the performance of a Colton Press recently invented and patented by Mr. A. D. Brown, of Clin ton. and can; witb confidence, Tccommend it to the public. It! great pbwer, convenience and simplicity of Structure, renders it, in our estimation, the best that we have seen. It packs downward, which we deem very essential; can be placed as near the lint room os desired, and can be easily covered in and nfadb very durable so far forgotten car national dignity, as to import tho lascivions dances or the French capital—fey they are neitHer adapted to the health nor mental purity of our children. The excessive indulgence in the daiice in over heated ball rooms, is productive of some ol tho worst results brought under medical notice, aiul is ono of tho principal causes of ill health in our young woman. If tho other branches of educa tion wore invested wilh that charm that might b» imparted to them by competent instructors, tho danco would not hold the youthful mind in abso lute subjection. The nervous exhaustion atted- daBt upon committing to memory long and absurd -tasks, during those hours when the young . girl should forget that there is a Behoof, and which should be devoted entirely to exercise end pleas ing diversion, and above all to walkin'* in the npoti air, causes her to seize, too .often with a morbid and inssuo avidity, upon dancing, as tho only method of entire relaxation sho is permitted to enjoy i consequently-that which is designed for a graceful accomplishment anil pleasing relaxa tion from more serious put suits, often, occupies lho mind exclusively, and proves equally degrading to her intellect, and injurious to her health, - to the observance of foreign customs among those I The oral ayatem ol’ iusti action, tbe only melted to whom wealth is uo novelty. We have often j congenial to nature, should bo adopted in every heard our inL-l! gent countrywomen remark, that I school desirous -of improving the youthful mind no lady allr-cat-, mhold he seen in such walkisg- mul body, and elevating tho intellect of tiro lear ner; then the reasoning powers would bo devel oped, and facts and beautiful nnd trno analogies .would fill tho mind, instead of musty rules and words ofteu as uuiutelligihlo to tha teacher as to the learner. . - Successfully to impart knowledge,the eloquence of tho voice, tho eye, tho countenance of an iu** tellectnal teacher, who loves his subject aud his pupil—ct:J above all, who remembers tho work ings of his youthful cried, and has not forgolteii thit dark period of his own life, when ho was condemned to the miserable punishment of stand ing before an ignorant automaton, with a lash or ferule in Ilia hand (his young heart burning for sympathy aud knowledge, and filled with rage against his persecutor)—that is necessary, that ii electrical in its effect. Butalas! that would re quire educuted and accomplished instructors, who fully appreciate their glorious culling, aud above all, parents to,appreciate nnd honor them. That method with hourly relaxation, during which tho mind could bo delighted and elevated by experi ments in natural physiology, music and drawing, that would cultivate memory, reason, judgment aud taste, that would refine the intellect cud im prove the heart. When tho young girl enters society, too fre quently at her sixteenth year! even if she havo to appearance, escaped-the bodily evils we bavp enumerated, sho is often hurled iuto a scene of | dissipation that speedily makes them evident, or j sho seals her fate by premature marriage and lho cares of a family, before either her mind or body are fitted for her own preservation, much less the guidance of children. She follows the attendance of some ill-edocated or designing brit diplomat! quack, and sho is taught to believe that his sense: less prescriptions will cure her, without amend; ing Iter habits of life; thus she ectties down for life into u tiervous invalid. All this we ofteu hear impSted to our climate. Look at onr revolutionary grandmothers, nay, our mothers! for many of them are j-et here. Wo honestly believe, on the honor of onr manhood and what little knowledge we have, that there is com paratively nothing iu oor climate to bring about the condition ofour young women, uoreveu any feet ill the original constitution of one-half the victims of early disease, that might Pot be over come, where it not for lho orrors of their early ed; ucitiion, their early Introduction into society, and tho fulsome adulations pf our own sox. ^ Society in cur country is composed of hoys and gills; uot men and womeu. The seDseless and degrading flattery with which their ears are constantly filled; pre-occupieg the mind of tbe poor girl iu tho whirl of fashion and dissipation, aud robs her of the benefit of that keen iiislitict aud delicate percep tiou she derives from her finer and more delicate organization; but of this we deprive her by the errors of her early training, 'i’lie fault is ours, not hers—but full sadly does sho suffer fbr it. But we might protract this subject indefinitely —aye, even to theGIlingof a volume—ar.d all we could say would go to prove, that, ns a nation, we live too fast; we educate oiircbildrcu too superfi cially. and their tiervous system at the expense of their intellect. Onr great master, John Hunter, has told us, that “ increased action if followed by diminished power,” aud this is as applicable to tho arteries o!'a Human being; ns to the hose of mi engine. There is a regnlar series of changes fronj lho earliest infancy, to that period whe t we pay hack the debt of nature, that allow.liy the unva ried sequence in such asdieiu advauced age, that ihe intention of uature was that we shonhl not be resolved into oriroriginal elements, until the grad es! decay of our faculties rendered us ol little else to those who surround us. Not only other animals, hat tho vegetable king dom, afford ample analogical proof, that a healthy maturity and natural decay await those only who have not been forced to a premature development: Tho majestic oak that strikes its roots deep.into tho earth,or “ tosses its giant arms from tho stormy promontory,” and derives increasing strength from the otorms of heaven—the iordly and ponderous elephant that tramps ovi?r tho plains of India— tho eagle that “sails athwart the skies and o’er tbe rolling deep,” and that mighty monster that sporls amid the billows, aud whose vast balk i^ nourished with hecatombs of living creatures, all derive length of days, majesty and power, (rout following the simple aud natural dictates of onr over-watchful hut inexorable mother. Men nlone, with his lofty powers of reason, from the influeuco. of unrestrained passion ayd disobedience to her laws, is subject, by iufnuto odds, to a far greater iramber of cusualities, that break tho brittle thread of his existence and cause him to water the eartii with his tears, thau any of the superior tribes of animals. ., Wo look with comparative calmness npon lho face of tbo aged and virtuous parent, ns it lie« shrouded in llio dignity of death | our hearts may bleed, but wo feel no shock; reflection tells us,, all the resources of joy and mirth are exhausted j tho life-spark has passed into the survivors; in the beautiful language of scripture, “ being dead,'it yet spoaketh.” The body is about to “ minglo with the atmosphere and eat th, whence it origi nated,” and the spirit to return to its God. But oh! when death comes to them arrayed in the bideonsness of disease, racking the bones, wasting the flesh, sending fever through the blood, and playing its dreadful experiments upon tbe fragile form of loveliness, which the kindness of pareut. brother, friend. •* has scarce suffered the winds of heaven to visit tbo roughly,” louring them from earth, its prospects of bliss, aud the convulsive grasp of affection, then indeed we have caueo to shudder at the consequences of our departuro from thebeneficint laws of our Creator. dresses as wo niny constantly see iu Broadway. It is true, these dresses ar« never seen here npon those whoso early training and associations have taught them better taste, but we are desirous That our countrywomen generally should bo as cele brated for their good sense, as tliey justly are for their beauty. If we are asked what this has to do with health; we reply, that extravagantand. elaborate dress, uot only incapacitates the bo4y for natural nnd graceful movements, hut, by pro occupying the miud. often exhausts tlie nervoui system be fore the wearer leaves her house for needful exer cise. And What is worse than ail, the insanity of emulation in dress, too often deprives a ioust-bold or those minor comforts and ortmmeits. upon which so much of onr health and happiness de pends. There is little ’doubt that a well-firnished and judiciously selected library, and those other indispensable aids to the formation bf a correct fasre in children, good drawings, and casts of statner of nrtistic merit, might often he purchased by the exercise of a refined economy iu dress, by the lime her children were old enough to appre ciate them, by many a mother who now sighs for her inability to compete in extravagant dress with a wealthy and vulgar neighbor. The constant changes bi fashion it! female dress, of eu afford the Broadway philosopher the limit grotesque and ridiculous exhibitions of the skill of the cunning modistes who devise them; ear- j prising ingenuity iu contriving means for filling I their (rockets nnd unsettling the fenble intellects of their purchasers, is miiUbr of astonishment, w hile the melancholy results of a close applica tion to that death distributing agent, the needle, is risible iu the pale cheeks of their wretched employees, who are sacrificed by thousands on the alter of cupidity aud fashion. Sometime be fore the deatli of 11 dear friend, whose charming pictures still speak hi? memory; and revive our delighted thmigli and recoliectious of his wit aud companionship, we suggested, upon the appear ance of some new aud monstrous absurdities iu the dress of both sexes, that he would allow his name ho intimately connected witb refinement aud correct taste, to be associated with some of the more eminent of tbe ladies, medical laculty, and others of our graver and accomplished ci'i- zens, iu the formation of a society, to reform the monstrous absurdities of dress. That we ehnald depend upon the caprice of snme mere Parisiou ape of a tailor or modiste, who often retails to our inuoceut country-women, some ingenious de vice to conceal a defective figure, or display the contour of. a voluptuous person, Svben we bare before us the classical representations of the an tique dress, and could so readily ndspt them to ihe Use ond eutire convenience of modern life, forms a humiliating reflection to a country of twedty millions of people, and ono that boosts n model government. Every American woman shonhJ l>» above , re ceiving the dictum of an ignorant and tasteless dressmaker; she should ,be instructed in the anat omy and physiology of her system, and bo per fectly able, at puberty, to give a correct out line of a classical figure, and its appropriate dress, on tbe block board. She should then be instructed to cut her oivu dresses in a simple anJ elegant manner, nnd adapt them to her figute, so tha! not the least pressure should exist on any part of her peraon. Indeed, without a good knowledge of the pencil aud tbe harmony of colors, her person and her house will present wbat is so frequeut in this city, a grotesque arrangement of dress, suita ble for a carnival or nindhoiife; and a drawing room that weuld pass for a furniture store or a paw nbroker’s simp. So much, in our own opinion, is duo to an in correct and servile taste in dress, that it is one of tho principal causes of the early decay of our countrywomen. Our climato demands, during one third of the year, absolute warmth nnd dry feet; and our fashionable countrywomen would fconsider_ themselves disgraced by appearing in public, with a dress and shoes that every intelli. gent Englishwoman wears as a matter of course. On the subject or music, dancing, mid decla mation, ns connected with health, we could extend our ideas far beyood lho limit of a single article. They have much to do wilh tho physical inferiori ty of the present generation of womeu. The full use of tbo lungs is so absolutely connected with ihe preservation of health, that we consider vocal mnsic inseparable from a true physiological edu cation. The full inflation necessary for the sus tained expression of tbe author’s idea iu vocal music, is ihe best possible stimulus that can be used within doors, for their Iiesltby developeinent and ihe preveuliou bf scrofula of tubercular de posits; many a young girl has beeu saved from consumption by early iuttruclion in vocal music. Declamation, or tbo clear and distinct utterance, in n loud and full voice whilst staudiug erect (and with longs fully inflated and filled as fast as ex hausted,) of the more elegant compositions in prose and verse, of Euglish and French authors, is productive of the saute result, and should uever be neglected iu the education of every young girl. There is uot one American woman iu a thousand, who ceu read elegantly, nr even correctly. What shall we sny of the music of the opera! IVe are far from lieiug insensible to its charms, and the refining influence it exerts upon the taste of the adult, hut cau by no means assent io its good influence upon the young girl. Jt is the highest expression of the language bf passion, and, as such canuot but b’e adapted to that premature devt lopcmeul of that system, so completely under the influence of passional emotion. That opera music is suggestive of higher thoughts aud emo- tiuus, we freely admit, nnd believe that intellect ual adults may enjoy it with propriety ; but we ought nbt to forget that those high intellectual abstractions that mSy refluo the intellect of the adult, are produced by ihe action of two senses, equnlly suggestive of earlier and strouger emo tions of n sensual character, in thoso whoso years have not allowed ilieucouimilutioiicf material fur thought and comparison. Tho piano, with judiciously selected vocal mnsic, is hot liable to 60 great an ohjectiou; that instrument is certainly well adapted for early iu-> ■traction in the rudiments of music anil patience; may 28 SAMUEL GRTSWOLfr, HORATIO BOWEN, THOMAS HUNT.
