J. BURROWS Patent Plantation Corn Mill

TaCGIlC FldIlLdLl0n COIn MILL THIS Mill differs from all others in the con- ! structlon of the Upper or Runner Stone, which is composed of French Burr Blocks, enclosed in Cast Iron Case, that forms the hack and hoop of the Stone, with Cast Iron Eve or Bush, that IS of greater external diam eter atthe bottom than at the top; this is secured to the back by four bolts, so that every block IS in the form of dove-tail. This gives greater strength to Stone than any other method which is required in small mills, where the Stone IS run with great speed, and becomes dangerous if not strongly made. It also gives any weight 10 a Stone of small diameter that is required, without having 1t thick or high, which makes it heavy.
 This mill is square frame made! of wood or cast iron, in the form of busk, with Bridge tree, Spindle, Balance, Rine, Driver, and Regulating Screw, and grinds upon the same principle as large mill, differing only in the Runner Stone; this being of great weight, ena- bles 1t to grind, more of grain with less power than any other mill; is portable and may be at tached to Steam Water, Horse or Hand power
 Jos. Il. BURROws, ofCncinnati, IS the inven- tor, for which he obtained Letters Patent ir l842. For all infringements, the purchaser will be held responsible for the right of using
 These Mills do not require mill-wright to set them up; and all that IS necessary to put them in operation, is to attach band to the pulley on the Spindle, with drum sufficiently large to run the 2l inch Mill 24O revolutions per minute, attached to Gin, Water, or Steam Power. By the steady application or two huse power, the Mill will grind six or eight bushels per hour, of good meal; and will grind Wheat as well as Corn. The 30 inch mill, if put to its fullest speed, will grind from 10 to l5 bushels per hour.
 These mills are warranted to be in every respect as represented.
 Having been appointed sole agents for the sale Of the above Mills, in this section of coun- try we will keep constantly on hand the differ ert slzes, and will furnish planters upon as reasonable terms as can be had in Cincinnati or New Orleans.

The character that came before him, with his challenge to Turgot, have created a feeling against him that nothing can overcome, and which makes his situation alike humiiiating and painful.'

How TO BE A MAN.-When Carlyle was asked by a young friend to point out what course of reading he thought best to make a man, he replied in his usual characteristic manner:
 "lt IS not books alone, or by books chiefly, that man becomes in all points man. Study to do faithfully whatso- ever thing in your actual situation, then and now. you find either express ly or tacitly laid down to your charge that is to stand to your post; stand to 1t like true soldier.

From the stanton papers, we find that the
action of Governor johnson, in rescuing Wilson
from the gallows, and consigning him to the pcni-
tertiary for Is years. meets with their decided
disapprohation. The indicator, Il Democratic
paper says of it:
This act of the Governor receives but little
favor from the great majority of those oonyersant
with the case of Wilson. 1rayer, the co-part-
ner in the murder, expiated the crime upon the
gallows, leaving legacy of niamy to be inhcri-
ted by his innocent children. Wilson, equally
guilty-tricd and convicted on the same evidence
and before the same jury, with Trayer-is left to
serve comparatively short apprenticeship at a
trade, and then, if living, to be turned out upon
the broad earth, to seek support, it is likely, by
the means which brought him to the condition
that he now graces. This is one of the unsolva-
BILE things which now and then startle. communi
ties and which are perpetrated either in the name
of Justice or Mercy"
The Staunton Messenger, a paper neutral in
politics, remarks:
Our opinion upon this whole subject is so well
known that we will not repeat it, farther than to
say that we are not satisfied with the course pur-
sued by the powers that be. As we have said
on more than one occasion, we believe Wilson is
guilty of the crime for which he was arraigned
tried and condemned and that being so, he ought
to suffer the penalty of the law. But our rulers
have thought differently, and to their mandates we
must bow.

cotton from the selfsame disorder, are fast grow
