That by the introduction of the American sa gin

be so well cleaned, md with 20 little injury to the

IL Is not intended 10 corQpsrc cotton so cleaned
with that which is cieaHed by hand or even by the

except as mere experiment, is totally out of the
question; and as il has been found that the best

effected by saW-sin in ar equal lime, on Which
count it has been lang ago d'scardsd in Americs.

the preference will NECESSARILY be given 10 the saw
GIN. wherever operation. are upon an extensive
scale, provided IL be once ADMITTED that, IN the pro-
cess OF ginning, the staple OF the cotton is mate
rally injured The universal use of the saw gin In
America has placed this point bey"ad dispute, Tar
regards the euton 81 that country, and the expe
riments Of this day will doubtless satisfy al pre-
sent that East India cotton may be subjected TO the
same process with exactly similar results. The in
