TUE OItlOIN OT TUE GIN. History Moro Called lu Question, To thc Editor of Thc Newt and Courier, I think thc publication ol' the enclose? napers will be interesting to your readers Tho want of a date ia Mr. McMaster'i letter as to tho time when the strange visited Kincaid's mill is to be regretted as a date would shed a light upou tin point in question. I have not been able to find the date Whitey's patent. McCulIocb's "Corni Diet." says 1703, and that thc next yea the exports of cotton amounted to nearly two million of whereas in 1793 i was less than one hundred and fifty thou sand pounds.

Tho Legislature of this State in gave Miller Whitney $00,000 for lin usc of bis patent in this State. I used to bi familiar with the story tho invention of the Baw gin, but It bat nearly faded from my memory. Whilnej graduated at Yale College in. 1 02. This is certain from tho records of that cob loge.

He then to Georgia to bo a teacher in the family of Mrs. Miller, sister of General Greene. In ber house bc saw many planters, all of whom regretted that a product which Georgia could produce so readily should be useless becauso of tho difficulty of separating thc cotton from the seed. Whitney studied thc subject and the result was the saw gin. Thc whole work was perfected in Sirs.

Miller's bouse. What share Mr. Miller bad in the invention docs not appear, probably bc furnished Ibo irjney. Thc patent was mndo out for Miller cc Whitney, and it was to them that the I cgislature pr id tho $00,000. When tho gin carno into general use is still doubtful.

It could not bnvj been beforo Doubtless ma-v wits were at work to invent a gin, as iw see by tho paten' of Hogden Holme. Hy 1801, when tho Act of the Legislature was passed, cotton had become the strplc of South Carolina and Georgia. Il is so long since my attention ba i been called to this subject, that I find I cannot rely on my memory, nnd authentic histories aro not to bo bad. Perhaps if you give publicity to these papers you may revivo tho memories of others who may shed some light on this interesting feature in our history. Very respectfully, F.

LETTER FROM C. lt. M'MASTER TO TUE BEC. 8. C.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY WINNBIJORO', 23,1882. Dear Sir By request ol Mr. W. Aiken I send to youi society letters patent for tho invention of tho cotton gin by President Washington in 179G tc Hogden Holiiics. It is uolievcd by man) in this community that Whitney filched tho invention from Holmes.

Tho following is fact James Kincaid a soldier of tho Revolution, being told bj Holmes, who lived nt Hamburg, that he had invented cotton gin, agreed to take tho gin and try it at IIIH mill, situated in tho western patt of Fairfield District Ho did so, aud whilst tho gin was at tia mill, and whilst the mill was closed for r. fow Lours, in tho absence of Kincaid young mau rodo to Ibo house and asked Mrs. Kincaid permission to seo the mill Sho, forgetting tho injunction of ber hus band not to permit anv ono to enter thc mill during his absence, gave tho key tho young man, who returned it in short timo aud rodo nfl'. Mr. Kincait learned afterwards tbnt thc young uiai was Whitney, nnd this is believed bj Kincaid's descendants, who Blill own Lb? mill.

Tho old original cotton gin waburned with tho mill by Mr. Sherman who, I believe, is from tho same country ns Whitnoy. Dr. W. M.

Cloud, W. I). Aiken't grandfather, married tho daughter ol Hogden Holmes, and preserved thc jiarclimenta which I enclose. RespectG. H.

MCMASTER, P. would bo interesting to have published iu News and Courier these letters patent, nnd this is Mr. Aiken't wish, and thereby olict a comparison ol tho respectivo claims of Hogdcu Holmes and of Whitney, and tho honor of thc invention of tho Cotton Gin. C. H.

Tett W. Urquhart, Seaborn Jones. The Eleventh Congressional District of Texas is larger thau Alabama and Mississippi, and will somo day raise moro cotton than those two States. A Cuttle llanca. Many pens have essayed tho task describing a cattle ranch in the far West, yet thc writer must confess to a total and radical uiisap, rehension of the subject, corrected only when he himself crossed tbe plains and saw with his own eyes.

Thc idea is a i illcu 11 ono for tbe Eastern mind to fully grasp. It is required tbat all preconceived notions of what should constitute a well-regulated stock farm must be abandoned and a totally new set substituted. Fences, green pasture-', stables, the whistling boy driving home tbe rows from tbe meadow when the sun is casting long shadows, the mansion embowered in stately trees upon the overlooking hill -this picture of rural beauty that graces ten thousand canvases throughout our land, must bo laid aside and forgotten if wc would contemplate a Western cattle ranch. Ile who would successfully follow the business of cattle raising upon the plains must keep ever on the frontier, pushing farther on into the wilderness as civilization follows in bis wake. If he is pressed too closely, be must strike into a new country "to find a range." His judgment must be exercised with regard to several particulars.

Tho country ho selects must be fairly covered with the natural grasses, with here and there patches of grease-wood, white sage or other browse, to serve as food in casa the grass is covered by a fall of snow. Ho must further assure himself us to the perennial character of the stream or r.ater-holcs upon tho range, upon tho cattle aro to fiepend for one essential element. And, lastly, he should also see to it that the country alfords good shelter from the winter winds and storms secured by clumps of treen, bind', or other features of a broken country. With feed, water and shelter assured, ho f-j-jh that nuitabK' range has been found, and returns to drive thither his herd. Into a heavy freight wagon is loaded the whole ranch equipment, including tent, bedding cooking utensils, and provisions to last perhaps a year.

Tho mounted herders drivo the cattle with many a whoop und holloo, and thc procession strikes out for the new country. Over the rolling plain, making a wagon road as they go, fording unknown streams, finding a way across deep ravines, often Butlering for water, and making many a dry camp, riding all day long under tho scorching sun, with alkali dust, Btirrod up hy ten thousand blown into mouth and nostrils, riding all night long around tho prostrate herd, and sometimes galloping awny in the darkness to check, if possible, tho wild stampede-thus for months, it may be, thc procession moves on until the selected range is reached. Hero tho cattle aro turned looso to exploro their new home, to eat, drink, wander and rest at will, to forget tho hardships of the ug drive, and to grow fat upon thc nutritious grass. Meantime tho silo for thc ranch-house is a few trees arc felled and logs and a low, dirt-roofed log cabin is quickly thrown together. Several sn all fenced inclosures or corrals, and a branding chuto are soon completed, and tho ranch may bo considered ns established.

No title to the lund is secured none is desired. The sovereign American citizen simply takes possession, fully persuaded that it is his privilege to dedicato to useful purposes the waste places of our groat Ltppincott, Thc Original Confcdcrato'ConsUtulinn. Thc other day 1 called on a friend, a Southern gentleman, woll known in literary circles. Ill health, however, has boon a sore burden to him. After few momeuls' talk ho invited in? into his library.

Producing round tin box ho Bpread before me a roll of parchment, which proved to be tho original Provisional Constitution of tho Confederate States of America, signed by Davis, Hob Toomba, Alex. II. Stephcus, Hen Hill and all tho other high contracting pnrtics. Tho sight of this document, which decided the lute of the slave population of the United States, awed mc. To defend tho validity of that parchment or to provo it worthless, two armies of tho noblest men that God ever created fought for four long years over all tho battle fields that lay between Hull Run and Gettysburg, until tho struggle was ended when Leo tendered his sword to Graut at Appomattox Court House.

That document is thc embodiment of all thc issues to settle which thc blood of tcus of thousauds of brave men was shed, and which desolated almost every housohold from ono end of tho land to tho other. After looking at it carefully, I asked my friend where ho got it. "Saved it at the risk of my lifo from a burning building in Richmond at tho closo ol tho war, in 18G5, and have kept it ever since," ho roplied. "What aro you going to do with it?" was my uoxt query. "I am compelled to sell it.

I hnvo tried to get the United States government to buy it, without success, and now I nm Offered for it by the British Museum, nud I shall have to let it go." "No!" cried "ibo Men About Town will never let that document go tho possession of tho English. Aside from its historical valuo, tho fact of England's efforts to make tho claims of that document good are remembered too well to ever let it fall into England's hands. That parchment, after the Declaration of Independence and the Emancipation Proclamation, is the most precious ono ever executed in the his tory of America, and, as an evidence of the good faith and courage even of our most misguided men, possesses an incalculable value. If tho government won't purchase this document, let tho peoplo subscribe to keep it in this country. Man about town in New York Star.

TUB NEW SOIIOOI.MASTKR.-The old man approached tho new schoolmaster with a bull-dog glare in his oyo. "You got after my hoy yesterday hecause he left a live hornet glued to your chair?" "1 did." "You licked him so he thought the world was coming to an end "That was tho impression I intended to convoy to him." "I nm his father, and I'vo como to let you know what I think of your proceedings." Then they clinched. Hair nod blood flew in the air, likewise the ih.st and frngmoats of garments. Then it quieted a littlo, and the old man implored mm to let him up, stop choking, and tako his teeth from that ear. "What do you think about my warming your boy?" asked tho teacher.

'I think you did just right, and when I go home I'll give him a tanning that'll taach bim to como to mo with his complaints, and stories that tho schoolmaster can't fight." They parted and tho schoolmaster mured, "I did right to tackle the son of the worst fighting man in the district href. Nona of the others will pester me." South Carolina has a small atta-x ol Greonbackism. It bears about tho iamo relation to Republicanism that varioloid does to small-pox. People aro in tho habit of chipping, punching and otherwise mutilating coin will bo interested to know that tho penalty is the sort. A grocer was last week tried in tho Courts of Now York city on tho charge of mutilating coin and was sentenced by the Judge to a term of one year ten months' imprisonment and to phy a fino of $1,000.

This punishment is inflicted under the provisions of tho bill General R. B. Vance had passed through. to punish mutilators of coiu, and this man Is about tho first unfortunate to fall under it. Gotting Used to it By Somewhere about here, write? a Southern correspondent, lives a email farmer of such Bocial habits that his coming homo intoxicated wu once no unusual tiling.

His wife urged him in vain to sign the pledge. "Why, you see," be would say, "i'll sign it after a while, but I don't like to break off all at once-it ain't wholesome. The best way ii to get used to thing by degrees, you know." "Very well, old mau," bia helpmate would rejoin "see now if you don't fall into a bole one of these days, where you can't take caro of yourself, and nobody near to help you out." Sure enough, as if to verify the prophecy, ns lie returned home drunk one day, he fell into a well, nnd, after a deal of useless scrambling, he for the "light of his eyes" to come and help bim out. "Didn't tell you so?" said she. good soul, showing her cap frill over tho edge of the parapet "you've trot into a bolo at last, and it's only lucky I'm in bearing, or you might have drowned.

Well," she continued, after a pau-c, letting down the bucket, "take hohl." And he came up, higher each turn of the until thc old lady's grasp slipped from thc batidlo, down ne cent lo the bottom again. This occurring more than once, made the temporary occupant of the well suspicious. "Look here," he screamed, in a fury, at tho splash, "you're doing that on jmrpi se-I know you arc "Well, mw, I am," responded Iiis old woman, tranquilly, while winding him up once mote. "Do you Dot remember telling me that it's best to get used to a thing by degrees I'm afraid if I bring you right up of a sudden, you wouldn't find it wholesome." The old fellow could not help chuckling at tho application of bis own principle, and protested that he would sign tho pledge on thc instant, if she would lift him out. This she did, and packed him oil' to sign tho pledge, wet as bo was.

Republicans in Indiana arc trying to profit by the trouble of their Ohio friends and keep thc liquor question out of the campaign. There is some complaint on the part of thc Republican campaign managers that tho responses from the departments in Washington to their assessment circulars have not been many or generous, and that insufferable insolence has in some cases been shown by the recipients of tho aforesaid circulars. Guitcau bas selected the Rev. Watkins Hicks, a Washington clergyman, as his spiritual adviser, and imposes upon him tho responsibility of preparing bim for death. Mr.

Hicks is considerable of a politician, formerly residing in South Carolina and Florida, and was chairman of thc delegation from that State in the Chicago Convention. Lniigunge Cannot Rescribo lt. Mr. Robert Gould, book-kcoper for Walker Maxcy, who aro lumber dealers, recently said to our representative 'About one year ago I was taken with thc genuine sciatica. I employed the best physicians, but they could only relieve mo for tho moment.

Finally I used St. Jacobs Oil and it effected a complete cure." Reports from all parts of tho country represent business as in an unsatisfactory condition. Trade has generally fallen oJT, and the great strike of tho iron workers is beginning to have its effect.
