THE importance of properly preparing he Staple of any country or section is well known,but to no country or section is it of such importance as those that grow and produce the Cotton as their only staple. Therefore, under this and other considerations, 1 pro pose to publish by subscription my system and practice in Colton Gin making and Ginning. With the advattlage of many years, expericrce— the sacrifice of much time and labor—and believing that 1 have brought it nearer to perfection than any other person, 1 submit it to the pnblic in o concise and correct in inner—with my laiu practice and with many improvements besides the valuable one of the application of ihe Friction IVhtcls, and nrw inode of making the brush, (which 1 have patented in the Re public of Texas) ; and the Brake or Agitator, my last improvement, which much increases the speed n gin ning, and improves the Coth ti. (It is well represented in tne plates and explained in the work.) The work to contain about one hundred pages octavo, in good binding, with ten well engraved plates, illustrative es the system; of the Gin complete, plans, elevations, sections, and figures in detail, with references aid de scription ol every part. Also plates of plan and elev; - tion of Gin House, Gear, position of the Gin, & . < al culatious of gear ill speeding the gin, with particular description, explanation and directions to the Cotton Planters in constructing the gin-house and gear, and general management ol the gill, 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., md in selecting aGin that is rightly made ill every respect, and of good materials; therefore being a great sav i>g : or gain to him, first, in cleaning his crop in half the , time usually required; and in pn lung and motung hut cotton well, so as to command the hsghes price in market; in the durability of his Gin, which, ifmrc'c by the directions given, will last to pck a thousand hags of cotton, (this would require three or four com mon made Gins lo do the >ame.) And further, thei e is no risk or danger of burning tne House, (lotion by taking fire from the Gin on the new friction whe 1 plan, though you were to give it double tin rnoti<ii Gins running oil boxing would hear. Nothing will he set down in the proposed Woik but positive facts, be ing the result (all prejudices aside) ol fair and repeat eu experiments, (a safe guide to mechanical know ledge aud skill.) If l 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 rather work for money than write for it as in the first case, I would do it strict justice,—in the latter, I must ask allowance for its defects, and liberal patronage for its support.

RANAWAY from the subscriber, last night, a likely Negro boy named SCO I TANARUS, about 17 or IS years ofage,6feet 10 inches high, light colored, looks very pleasing when spoken to; very intelligent and reniaikably polite in his deportment He look with him from me about §IOO in m*ney, 25 of which was American Gold, the balance on the PI inters’ and ] Mechanics’ Bank of Columbus. lam inclined to be lieve that he lias been seduced away by some white man, as he has hitherto been been very trustworthy, and generally bore the chatacter of an honest arid faithful servant. J am induced to believe that he is making way to North Carolina, where he was raised, or to Ohio, as I have been informed, since he left, that he expressed a desire to go with some free negroes who lately ltft Columbus. Ga., for that Stats. I will give SSO reward for the Negro, if delivered to rue, or lodged in any safe jail; and if inveigled away by a white man, I will give §2CO reward for the scoun drel, with evidence sufficient to convict him, or §250 for both.

THIS distinguish* and hotse, at the urgent solicita tion of many breeders in Georgia and Alabama, has been brought back from Kentucky, where he stood with great success last season, and will stand the en suing season at his owner’s stable, at Fort Mitchell, ten miles below Columbus. Lots end stabus are provided for rnares. and every attention wi 1 be paid to them, and rare used to prevent accidents and escapes, but no liability will be incurred for cither. The pedigree and performances of Bascombc are too well known to the public to need repetition here. His stock, in Georgia and South Carolina, where ho made ltis two first seaso. s. are of the highest premise, and he has proved a sure foal-gettcr. His owner would feel authorised to demand, and might expect to receive, the highest price for his ser vices: but believing that the state ofthe times and the (trice of stock, as well as the reduced prices of agri cultural products, do not warrant the exhotbitant char ges heretofore made for the services cf stallions, and with a view to serve the best interests of the turf and breeders, he has dete.mined to fix on the following reduced rates, viz: Seventy five dollars the season, with one dollar to the g>-ooni: three dollars pet week for keeping the mares. Black servants sent with, mares boarded gratis. Persons sending mares from a distance, will please send with them a note for the season. JOHN CROWELL. Dec. 22,1840. 45 6t.
