(Gins made for the Mastodon Cotton on the same plan.) THE subscriber has succeeded in making an improve, mcntin the COTTON GIN, which he thinks is worthy the attention of the Planter. It se parates nearly all the motes from the Cotton, one part being tacn out before reaching the brush, and the other by its action as in other Uins.

The construction is simple, and not more liable to get out of order than the common Gin- It is not now an experiment, as there arc three in operation near this place. They will be warranted to make a fine sample of Cotton, and to operate finely. There isapeculiarity inthem in favor ef making a free and easy Roll, which is not common to any other kind of Gins.

The trustees commenc.

cdan edifico which has taken nearly tlio whole fund, without being alio to complete it. Instead of a plain, substantial building, such as the testator had in view, they must exceed all other structures, and for this purpose sent to Italy after some fifty marble cap, costing 13,000 each, for the columns! We regret to seo that the Smithsonian Institute has been subjected to a silly expenditure for the Library, and that $2,500 has been paid in Lon don for an old Latiu cony of the Bible! This is a poor beginning to carry out the benevolent inten lions of the donor, for the increase and dilfusion of knowledge among men. A better copy ot the Scriptures, one that will do more good, may be had for one dollar, at any Bible agency. This injudicious, and perhaps unauthorised purchase, will no doubt have the effect of ccono. misine the fund in other respects The Regenst and officers of the Institute, embracing some of the most distinguished men of the country, will see that the trust confided to them, for the good ol mankind, is fulfilled with discretion and public spirit.

A Wife. When a man of sense comes to mar- ry, it is a companion whom tie wants not an anisi, ltis not merely a creature who can paint and play sing or dance; is a be ing who can comfort and counsel him, one who can reason and reflect, and feel and judge, and discourse and discriinnatc, one who can assist him in his affairs, lighten his sorrows, purify his joys, strengthen his principles and educate his children. Such is a woman who is fit for a mother and mistress of a family. A wo man of the former description may occasionly fig. ure in a drawing room, and attract the admiration of the company; but she is entirely unfit for a helpmate to a man, and to "train up a child in the way he should go." Home.

No marvel that poets have chosen home and the native land, as grateful themes of song. In themselves, the words are full of meloJy; '11 their associations they form exquisite music. It is a blessed thins to have a heaven of rest where love lights its beacon and keeps its vigils to greet the returning wanderer, weary of a cheerless pilgrimage by flood or field. God help those for whom every country wearsa foreign aspect who avert their steps from the dwelling ot their la thers, banished by the clonus ot discord or tlio ran weeds of desolation. D.

Mr. Furman baa been for six years engaged in his pre sent employment; and during this time, he lias sent a number of students to this institution, who, if not always perfectly prepared for admission, have, nevertheless, in no case, brought from him any testimonials which their attainments would not justify.

The Panacea does not contain mercury in any form, and being an innocent preparation, it may be given to the most tender infant.

Negroes who arc confined in large num. bcrs on plantations in hot climates, arc peculiarly liable to such forms of disease, arising from a vitiated state of the blood, and want of cleanliness and variety of food. These diseases so frequently set regular practice at defiance, and render their miserable victims both useless and expensive to their masters, that planters would stu''y their own inter, est, as well as that of humanity, by keeping always a sup ply of Swaim's Panacea, which appears to be the only thing wlucli can be relied on in sucn cases.

I hereby certify, that during the riots in Southwark, owing to exposure and fatigue in the performance of military duty, my health received a severe shock. In the latter part of August all the symptoms of pulmonary consumption appeared: at this juncture, I called in my physician, who attended me some weeks without benefit, and told me distinctly that he considered my disease beyond the reach of human aid. He now ceased his visits every symptom getttng worse, pain in the side and breast, difficulty of breathing, raising blood, palpitation of the heart, night sweats, hectic fever, and I was so weak I was unable to raise from my bed or dress without assistance; cough, racking and violent, frequcnr.y causing me to bring up blood. I now called on another physician, who at once recommended the use of Thomson's Compound Syrup of Tar and Wood aptha, and and when I had got through the fourth bottle, I was able to dress myself and come down stairs without assistance and by the time I had finished my twelfth bottle, my appetite aud strength returned; all the symptoms disappear, ed, and tnc disease was subdued, and in common with thousands of others who have been cured by its wonderful powers, I alone owe my restoration to health. James Andrews, 217 Catharine street.

I was called to attend in the above case in the 6ccoEda-ry stage of the disease. I found the patient laborin? un. der complex diseases of the lungs and liver, ulceration of the latter had taken place, and by percussion I discovered an abscess had formed in the right lung. The case being apparently hopeless, and beyond the reach of the usual treatment, I resolved at once on using Thomson's Compound Syrup of Tar and Wood Naptha, the virtues of which I had previously tested, scarcely expecting it would reach a case so desperate. The result is a cure the most extraordinary, henceforth dispelling all doubts respecting thecf.
