machines. ] have six misunderstanding three al
ternately each day. have made this season $500,
600 infive months, with twenty-seven men at least
one-fourth more than Ico1ld have made with the
same number by hand. 1They were all moulded by
three men, and the quality Is reatly improved-being
more dense,and having q smother surface, $50 900
have been made with these machines, Mt Coxsackie,
ihe past season, and they have caused an entire revo-
intion in the brick manufacture. The machine works
like a charmns Numerous, kinds have been tried, and
great expenses incurred, but no machine womb work
otlr iayN1eeetsfill before we tried this. Now, none
Of our hfiek faakers could be inducedto dispense with
them.
The following from Messrs. Hoey IL Ellington, OF
New Orleans, is added, to show these machines will
work equally well in the South as in the North.
We have ten of Mi. Halls machines now in opera
ticn, and are making preparation TO start ten more
next season. We also fully concur inthe opinions Of
the above gentlemen, and would say further, that this
machine il sosimple in its construction that we have
p0 difficulty in learning our negroes to operate with
it;s this we consider one { Ii highest COMMUNICATIONS
for Southern operation. We shall be happy to show
shese machines 10 any gentleman who will call at our
