BY i E .VI PL ETON REID. THE importance of properly preparing the Staple of any country or section is well known, but to no country or section is it of such importance as thus*’ t.aat grow and produce the Cotton as their only staple. Therefore, under this and other considerations, I pro pose to publish by subscription my system and practice in Cotton Gin making and Ginning. With the advantage of madly years, expcrier.ee— the sacrifice of much time and labor—and believing that I have brought it nearer to perfection tl.an any other person, I submit it to the public in a concise and correct in inner—with my late practice and with many improvements beside- the valuable one of the application of ilie Friction Wheels, and new mode of .makinglhe brush, [which I have patented in the Re public of Texas) ; and the Brake or Agitator, my last improvement, which much increases tile speed in gin ning. and improves the Colt- n. (It is well represented in the plates and explained in the work.) The work to contain about one hundred pages octavo, in good binding, with ten well engraved plates, illustrative of the system; of tho Gin complete, plans, elevations, sections, and figures iu detail, with references and de sciiption ol every part. Also plates of plan and cleva ti nos Gin House, Gear, position of the Gm, &c. cal culations of gear in spec hug the gin, with particular description, explanation and directions to the Cotton Planters-in constructing the gin-house and gear, and general management ot the gin. cotton, &c. With the rules and explanations given in the pro posed Work, any good workman may execute the whole plan well, and the Planter be enabled to judge for himself in constructing his House, Gear, &c., and in selecting a Gin that is rightly made in every respect, and of good materials; therefore being a great saving or gain to him, first, in cleaning iiis crop in half the time usually required; and in picking and moteing his cotton well, if o as to command the highest price in market; in the durability of bis Gin, which, if made by the directions given, will last to pck a thousand bags of cotton, (this would require three or four com mon made Gins to do the -anie.) And further, there is no ri.-k i>r danger of burning Hie House, Cotton, &c, by taking lire from the Gin on the new friction wheel plan, though you were to give it double the motion Gins running on boxing would bear. Nothing will be set down in the proposed Work but positive facts, be ing the result (ail prejudices aside) ol fair and repeat eu experiments, (a safe guide to mechanical know ledge and skill.) If I were going to continue the Cotton Gin making business in this country, I should not trouble the pub lic with this Prospectus for 1 would much raiher work for money than write for it a- in the first ease, I would Ho it strict justice,—in the latter, T must ask allowance lor its defects, and liberal patronage for its support.

O Mary! dear departed shade, Where is thy place of blissful rest? See’st thou thy lover lowly laid? Hcar’st thou the groans that rend his breast? That sacri'd hour can I ‘brget, Can I forget the hallow ed grove, Where by the winding Ayr” we met, To live one day of parting lev.-? Eternity will not efface, Those records dear of transports past; Thy image at our last embrace, Ah! little thought we ’twasour last. Ayr gurgling kissed Lis pebbled shore, O’erhung with wld woods, thick’mng green; r i lie fragrant bircb, the hawthorn hoar, Twin’d am’rous round the raptur’d scene. The flowers sprang wanton to be prest, The birds sang love on every spray, Till soon, too soon, the glowing wist, Proclaimed the speed of ivi ged day. Still o’er these scenes my mem’ry wakes, And fondly broods with miser care! Time but th’ impri ssion deeper makes, As streams their channels deeper wear. My Mary! dear departed shade! Where is thy blissful place of rest? See’st thou thy lover lowlv laid? Hear’st thou the groans that rend his breast? THE FORESTS OF BRAZIL. We copy the following from Mur ray’s Geography, as republished by Lea &. liianchard of Philadelphia:! “The infinite variety of tints which these woods display, give them an aspect \vhol% different from those of Europe. Each of the lofty sous of the forest has an effect dis tinct from that of the rest. The brilliant white of tho silver tree, the brown head of the mnngoa, the pur ple flowers of the Brazil wood, the yellow laburnums, the deep red fun gus, and the carmine colored lich ens, which invest the trunks and the hark, all mingle in brilliant confu sion, forming groups finely contrast ed and diversified. “Thegigantic height of the palms, with their varying crowns, give to these forests an incomparable ma jesty. All these are interwoven with a network of creeping and climbing plants, so close as to foim around the large trees a verdant wall, which the eye is tumble to pen etrate; and many of the flowering species, that climb up the trunks, spread forth and present the appear ance of parterres hanging iu the air. ! “These woods are not a silent scene, unless during the deepest heats of noon, bill are crowded and rendered vocal by the greatest va riety of the animal tribes. “Birds of singular forms and most superb plumage flutter through ilio flushes. “The toucan rattles his large bill, the busy orioles creep out of theii long pendent nests; the amorous thrush, the chattering manaken, the full tones of the nightingale, amuse the hunter; while the humming birds, rivalling in lustre diamonds, emer alds, and sapphires, hover round the brightest flowers, myriads of the most brilliant beetles buzz in the air; and the gayest butterflies, riv alling ii splendor the colors of the rainbow, flutter from flower to flow er. “Meantime the beautiful, but sometimes dangerous race of lizards and serpents, exceeding in splendor the enamel of tlie (lowers, glide out of tlie leaves and hollows of the trees. Troops ofsquirrels and mon kej’S leap from bough to bough, and large bodies of ants, issuing from their nests, creep along the ground. It concerns us here to remark, that these immense forests are rich in timber of every description for use and ornament, sirlted either for car-j peutry, shipbuilding, dyeing or fur-i niture. That kind especially called j Brazil wood, is particularly celebra-j ted for the beautiful red dye which j it produces ” When we recollect that this work contains a description of the most remarkable objects of nature and art in every region of the globe, | what an intellectual treat may be derived from its eighteen hundred Royal Octavo pages. It is truly a descriptive geography. This alone, independent of all the other subjects, is worth tiie price of ihe volume. Many, very many will prize these elegant descriptions more than any other part of the work. They have; all the charm of novelty, while at the same time they store the mind: with solid and useful information. — Jiurual of Commerce.

Gaines lectured on bis fa vorite system of national defence, ! and in the course of his address call ed upon Mrs. Gaines, to read a por tion of his memorial, w hich she did in a clear and audible voice, taking the audience completely by surprise. The Bulletin says: “Jilrs. General Gained is an inter esting and highly accomplished la dy, possessing a character of her own, and has enough c.f female deli cacy of mind, without exhibiting in her character faint copies of that of others, she thinks for herself, and acts independently. “Her biography is one from which many useful reflections might he drawn, and if she lives to inherit that splendid fortune to which, from all accounts, site is, in the eye of law and justice, entitled, we have no doubt she will perform well the part assigned her by Providence in the management of such a large amount of worldly possessions, as will be committed to her trust.” A lawyer's maiden speech. —“ Your lordships perceive that* we stand here as our grandmother’s adminis trators do bonis non; and really, my loids, it does strike me, that it would be a most cutting and mon strous affair to say that a party could now come in, in the very teeth of Parliament, and actually turn us round, under color of hanging us up, on the foot of a contract made be- y hind our backs, in the best spirit and without signature.” This is nearly as lucid as the orphic say ings, or Coleridge’s confabs. THE INDIAN SUMMER. Il conics, it comes with golden sheaf, In the time ot the sere and yellow leaf, And it flings the fruit from the b. tiding tree, Arid scatters il round in reckless glee; It plays o i the brow of the maiden fair, And parts, with its fingers, her raven hair. Tt comes, it comes, and its minstrel’s wing O’e the glassy lake is quivering, With music soft as the mellow strain Os Zephyrs over the swelling main, It gladdens the vales as it floats along, And stream and mountain re-echo the song. It comes, it comes, like a fairy sprite, Arrayed in robes of gossamer white, And the carpet of leaves on the ground is spread. And the flowers yield ’neath its conquering treud, For it strides along, in its kindly way, Like shadows that flit at the ciose of day. It conies, it comes, and the ripened grain Is wreathing crowns’for i's golden lain, And the bright eye sparkles widi liquid light, Like the star t n lironed on the brow i.f night; And the teeming fields their offerings bring, At the s*inted shrine of the Autumn King. Front Friendship's Offering, for 1841 , WERE WE NOT HAPPY? Were we not happy in our summer dreams? In noontide wanderings over hill and glen; When flowers were steeped in rich and fragrant dews 1 To yield the incense while w • worshipped them; When vern.i skies were floating o’er the earth, An 1 golden beams were lighting up the sea, Were we not happy in those blissful da/s — The brightest pages of our mernorj? Were we not the, glowing hills, Where music woke Jjer deep imlodious ton*— Where lustrou- eyes in wit and beauty beamed, And forms of iovVlThess were seen alone; When murmured voices breathed the sunny song Os some lair land (o bind ns in the spell; Were we not happy in those joyous times, Ere Sorriw’s robe around our footsteps fell? Were v. f e not happy in the sacred sane, That consecrated ground whereon we trod? The choral hymns, the penitential pravrr Brought io our hearts the presence of a God; Where gorgeous windows lent a magic light: Wheie cn ets an I blanched tropies round us lay; Were we not h ppy in that holy shrine, Lit with its glimmering lamps Mid rich array? Shall we be happy, dearest, wh< n the flowers Os youth are withered, and the summer skies No longer fraught with poetry and life. Lose their sv. eet influence in our fading eyes? Shail we be haiipy on ti,e bed of.tenth, With naught to cheer our sinking hearts or save? Lo< k t.p —a lii her, surer hope is ours; We shall be happy tar beyond the grava!

Ali extraordinary race, ran in ex traordinary time. —The race of 3 mile heats, for SSOO, won by Mr. flare’s Job, on Thursday, for Seve rity, speed, bottom, and closeness of competition, between four competi tors'of nearly the same powers, in our humble judgment, is entirely without parallel, compared with the many fine races We have for many years witnessed on the renowned arena near oui city; it will challenge comparison w ith the best running, at the same distance, on any course in the country. A few examples will show this. In the famous Ber trand’s best race, he ran his first three consecutive heats, of three miles, in sin. 475. sm. 48s. and sm. 53s.—the nine miles in 17m. 225. The race that gave Modoc his high reputation was run in sm. 515., sm. 525., and sm. 405.—17 m. 31s. In Hard Cider's severely bought victo;/ ry over Reliance, not having con tested the first and second heats, the first, third and fourth heats were run in sm. 415., sm. sps., and 5m 50.!—17m. 20s. In Job’s race, the first, the third at and iourtli beats were run in sm. 495., sm. 465., and sm. 56 s !—l7m. 325. hi Job’s race ! too, ho contondu i for each beat, ex hibiting’ a rare degree of bottom; and every mile, in every beat, was rim in capital time, excepting only the first mile in the second heat, which was in a mere canter, cuclv horse waiting upon each other, (mu sing that to be a slow beat; the last was run in excellent time for a fourth heat, (all three librses under the whip for more than a mile,) after a third heat that has never been sur passed in time, (sm. 475.) and but once equalled—by Omega, at Tren ton. We are not sure that if Sam Houston had been judiciously mnri i aged, he might not have won the race in two successive heats; or had lie been weli rode I lie third heal, that he might not have won that and the race.’ Sam Houston beat Job in that heat, and ran Texas hard, at the finish, after allowing the lat ter to steal a march from h?Jp. Texas naighi possibN have beat J<jb’ had the race been confined to them only. Job too, was indebted to good riding for beating Ricnzi by the head only, at the very judgment seat, the second heat. He was de cidedly the better conditioned, the better managed, and better rode, than any horse in the race. This may be said without derogating at .ill from the high reputation Job has gained in many a well fought field, sustaining his renowned lineage—a son of Eclipse, dam by Rattler, grand dam hy Sir Arch ft, bred in this dis trict hy our lamented Fellow citizen, the late Dr. Thornton, out of his fa mous race marc, Noli me Tangere. that was bred by the late Col. Tay loe, and descended “sans taclie,” from the dam of Sir Arcby him self. Many years will probably elapse ere such another race will be run as the one referred to. In it the two sons of Autocrat sustained the re putation of that distinguished stock. WHIP CRACKS. SORTS OF EXTRACTS. _ A ,lOKE AND THE AFTER CLAP. — Oil® day within the lust week, says the Philadelphia Chronicle, a lady of Southwark who had con ceived some cause >£ dislike for a certain phpsician of that quarter, and being disposed to wound his feelings, and mortily his pro fessional dignity, hit on the following expedi ent lor so doing. She sent for the doctor, intimating in her message that a sick person stood in need of his services. The doctor arrived, entered the apartment where the la dy sat with two female acquaintances, and was directed to a cradie, in which he expect ed to find a sick child. On removing the quill, he discovered a large tom cat, fitted up with a baby’s cap, &c., and at the moment of making this discovery he heard a half suppressed titter proceeding from the corner of the room where the ladies sat. The doc tor, no wise daunted, changed not a muscle of his countenance, but with all the gravity becoming a physician, felt the pulse of the quadruped, took out his pencil, wrote a pre scription, took up his hat and cane, bade the ladies good afternoon and departed. As soon as he was out of hearing, Mrs and her companion gave a full hurst to their merriment and laughed over the trDk (or an hour, when their mirth was somewhat damp ed by the entrance of a young man who presented the doctor’s bill, wherein was char ged the maximum price fora visit. Nothing could be said against the justice of the de mand, and the money was paid with evident vexation. So the doctor had his joke as well as the lady. The New York Standard thns hits off the attempt of the United Slates Bank of Penn sylvania to borrow money to pay off its debts: “The loan asked for by the banks of Phi ladelphia, in order to enable them to resume, and the security offered for payment, calls to recollection the plan once matured by two speculating gentlemen of the Diddier school, to obtain a dinner at one of our city eating houses. After scaling themselves, and taking a furtive glance at the bill of fare, one of (Item opened the subject as follower “Waitor—ov say, waitoi?” The waiter here stepped forward with the usual p at eness. “Weil waitor—we’ve an oidea of dom ing* here, provoided you like out proposi lion.” “Certainly gentlemen, certa niv.” “Weil, you see waitor, vre’ve just arrived in this city—forgot our purses, waitor —and — this gentleman will become responsible for tiie dinner, and I will guar.tr,tee the payment of die debt —so you see, waitor, you are sure of getting your pay, at all hazards It is hardly necessary to add, that the wai tor d,d not hazard giving the gentlemen their dinner on *hc'* security.

Frazer's Magazine. Deserted Age—One ol the most touch ing sorrows of old age, is its solitude. To outlive the world in which we were born—to be the last survivor of odr gCheraJlon, is, to any, a melancholy position to occupy, but bleak and dreary in Ihe extreme to him who has nor hope of a brighter existence beyond the grave. Our natural repugnance to death renders us willing to live on, but wflat sor rowful changes are produced by the lapse of a few years! One generation passes and another springs up; and he that passes on to a third, finds himself’ a stranger in the world. Familiar faces have disappeared, loved ones have passed away; joys are duty remember eri, and the remembrance is sorrowful; busv thoughts bring back the visions of happiness departed never to lie recalled; and a sense of painful loneliness falls on the heart although the world around is as busy a& ever. We have fell melancholy thoughts obtruding themselves on our mind as we have gazed on a solitary tree that had escaped the axe, which had prostrated the Whole forest be sides; and nmv in its age withered at the top and decayed in its branches, was lett in en counter the peltings of every storm But a sorrowful feeling has possessed us, in behold ing an aged and decrepit! man, who had lost the fire of his eye and the vigor of his limbs, and from whose side had been struck down all who had felt an interest in his existence.

A BOTTOMLESS LAKE. A writer in tiie Troy (N. Y ) Mail, gives the following account of a remarkable pond in Sussex county, in the* State of New York. * “White Lake is situated about one mile west of the Paulius Kill, in the town of Still water. It is nearly circular. It hatfno Visi ble inlet, but its outlet is a never failing stream of considerable magnitude. The name is derived from its appearance. Viewed from a little distance it seems ol a milky whiteness, except a lew rods in the centre, which by the contrast appears perlectly black. The ap pearance itself is singular enough, but ti e cause is still'm re remarkable. Front the centre or dark portion of the Hake, at stated seasons, iuunmerable quanti ses of shells are thrown tip, of various sizes and formes, hut all, perfectly white.
