purchased the right of said Press for Sumter
District This Press has been in successful
operation for three years. In regard to the
convenience of the Press, it can be attached
60 the Clubhouse, and sheltered all under one

hundred and fifty to five hundred pounds of
Cotton in four and a half yards Bagging, and
that with one mule. The Workmanship Of the
Press is quite simple-takes mnch less tim
Der than that of screw, and can be built in
one-third Of the time, and can be raised in
three or four hours with seven hands without
any danger whatever. The undersigned begs
leave to inform the public that he has work
men now ready to attend the building of the
Press: Price fifty dollars, they furnishing
timbers and materials.
Persons wishing to build their own Press

Our Relations with Ilcxico.


II is stated, on what some deem pretty good
authority, that the Mexicans have applied for
the mediation of England to settle the war with
the United States. If this be true, they begin
to show some symptoms of good sense. But we
cannot see what England can accomplish, unless
it be to induce Mexico to open negotiations with
US. Apart from this, we desire no mediation
from any European power. We can take care
of ourselves; but if the English have any in
fusncs in Mexico, they will probably exert it to
stop the war, in order to stop the subjugation of
the whole of our Southern neighbor by our pso-
pie II is apparent that England and France can
not, in their present condition, interfere in force
in the war it will, therefore, be their policy to
prevent US, if they can, from overrunning Mexico,
and bringing it under our exclusive protection.
They may in quiet way strive to accomplish
this
