RELIEVING VESSELS IN DISTRESS

Tie vessels Of the British Coast-Guard service,
if we sre rightly informed are supplied With extra
stores Of provisions water, sails ard spars, for aid
ing vessels il distress and the officers in command
have open orders 10 cruise about the British Chan
mel after storm, in search Of vessels which may be
d .masted or in need Of sny assistance. As might be
supposed, these measures are productive OF very
beneficial results, snd many brave men, worn out
BIZ DAYS and nights OF unceasing vigilance, toll and
danger and on the point Of giving up in despair,
have been met with and assisted by some member
Of this relief squadron, and sent on their way with
damages repaired, courage renewed, and strength
restored, to a safe haven.
The yastness Of our own commercial marine, and
the rapidity with which it is constantly increasing
demand similar provision. To afford this hu-
name assistance, the Government need make no
very great outlay, while the good which would
accrue from ii would be incaculsble. Ii would
only be necessary TO put into service the small
steamers which are now lying idle in the Navy-
wards and equip them for Winter cruising. The
points which ought to be protected are the ap-
proaches to the harbcrs Of New-YOrk and Boston,
and Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. If a small
steamer were placed at the mouth OF each of
these harbors with open orders to cruise in the
track of expected vessels immediately after o
storm, and afford relief where it may be needed,
by supplying provisions and water, or helping the
crew of disabled vessel to reft, 80 that they
would be able to work into port, or, if necessary
tow them in commerce and humanity would alike
be largely the gamers. As it is vessels are often
blown out to sea By storms or adverse winds, and
kept there, unable to make port before their pro-
visions are exhausted, simply for the want Of q
spar or two, or a little canvas. And not few
gallant craft and crews have been recorded among
the eternally missing that might still have iosted
in safety had little help been oppOrtunely afforded
them.
We are assured that the officers Of the Navy who
are now enjoying pay and ingIorious ease on shore,
would like 10 better opportunity Of serving their
country, than to be appointed on this home-rellef
service, and we know that the Importance Of the
subject has commended itself to the serious atten-
ton Of the Board OF Underwriters, and the Cham
Der Of Commerce. Ii the mercantile community
will make move in favor Of this project, the Gov
eTument will no doubt carry il out

1t is stated that the disease under which Senator
Douglas suffered so severely, and from which he
has but just so far recovered as to be able the

clergyman sore throat which at one time threat
ened to end in consumption. Was this judge

to be obliged to resign his seat
We are happy to see that Senator Cass is also
conyalescent As the most serious symptom re-
ported OF bis case was merely ga tendency to

We give to-day q long letter from professional
gentleman, citizen of Kansas physician, now
on a visit to this State which we recommend to
the particular attention Of The Journal u Commerce,
and of all such persons as have been disposed TO
sympathise with that print in the views which it
takes Of Kansas affairs. Though written with
frmness and decision, this letter, while freely
criticising the Presidents Message contains moth
ing TO which the most devoted adherent of Presi-
dent Pierce could object, or at which even the
most sensitive friend of the slayeholding interest
could take ofense. Yet at the same time it states
tie case OF the unfortunate settlers in Kansas with
a distinctness and uness which can hardly fail to
carry conviction to every unprejrdced mind.
From the statements made in this letter, we
cannot but express the opinion that the Northern
Emigrant Aid Societies have very serious respon-
sibility on their shoulders. 1t may well be ques-
toned whether the limited aid which their small
amount OF funds has hitherto enabled them 70 render
to the settlers amounts TO anything like counter
balance to the Odium which those Societies have
brought upon the Free-State men, and the argu.
ments which they have put into the mouths of
AtchisOn, StringfellOw, Pierce, and their other
enemies Ii will take good number Of saw-mills
and other Improvements, and a large supply of
sharps rifles to put the balance beyond question
On the right side; and that it is put upon the right
side trust those Societies will see to at the very
earliest opportunity.

And seat 10y the farmers wood tireside,
Where fire burns bright,
On frosty night,
Where the jest, the song, and the laugh are free
Oh. the farmers home is the home for me.
Oh give me home in the country wide,
When the earth comes out as blushng bride,
With her buds and flowers,
In the bright spring hours,
Her bridal song ringing from fresh leaved trees,
And melody floats on the perfumed breeze.
In summer seat in shady nook,
And close by the side of a cooling brook,
Where the violet grows,
Or the pale swamp rose,
Painting and sick, meath the suns scorchlng bean
Dips her fair petals in the cooling stream.
Oh! give me house in the country wide,

And he feels that his yearly task is done,
Smiling ut winter, he btckons him on.

COTTON SAW GINS.
Straight Ribs, VS.. Crooked, Uniformity Of
Roll. &c.


4 LTHOUGII the advantage Of the straight rib
~ in the COTTON in has been discovered for
more than twenty years, yet it has not been sutii
cicntly known or appreciated by the planter. The
advantage consists simply in this: that the ribs,
when worn, can be m0vcd down to where they are
not worn, which answers tie purpose Of new
sett of ribs. Three moves can be made, which
gives four wrarngs, which is equal to four sctts of
ribs So that Il purchaser having in view prospcc
tive expense, wonhl lose the price Of three sets
of ribs if the ribs uf his siu were not movable
Any planter with common intelligence can move
the straight ribs himself and thus obtain all the
benefit Of new sctt Of rbs.
The greatest uniformity can be obtained in the
roll by giving the ribs the proper angle, the effect
of which is, to throw the weight of the roll more
upon the saws than upon the seed board, and by
adjusting the sced-board ~ to prevent the seed
when once detached from re-unting with the roll;
this improvement has been made by the subscri-
Der within few months.
With regard to fast picking gins the greatest
amount Of lint is obtained in two ways. First, by
having long teeth lying as nearly parallel to the
verge of the saw possible, that The teeth ell
tering the ribs So much point foremost they are
obliged to carry all the cotton through that they
get hold of. 4 fifty SAW gin Wit! these sort Of
teeth on n nine inch saw has gincd eight bales ptr
day. The second plan is, to form tho hreast So
that the teeth meets the ribs nearly at right angles
and thus packs the cotton into the teeth Of the
saws. This paa is very strniaimg on the saws,
and causes Il much heavier ,lraught. Whether the
cotton is injured by al ovcrwraught speed, the
planters must jGlee for themselves. The :ulscri-
her will furnish to the planters of this and adoin
ing Districts Cotton Gins equal in durable value
to any in tho country. Delivered Mt Chester, York.
or Charlotte, or any lan''ing Oh the road for 81
pcrsaw. The brushes Of my gins arc covered with
tin which adds much to their strength and dura-
bility.
All orders promptly attended to.
