THE BAGAssE FURNACE

DATENTED Dec. 4th. 1856; same patent
= relssued Aug. 9Th, 1855; and new patent grant.
ed Aug. 9th, 1855; to. S. H. Gilman, of New Or.
leans: This furnace is now in use on EIGHTEEN
PLANTATIONS IN LOUISIANA, and COM
bines with unqualified success the six important
and distinctive features of,
l. Working entirely by natural draught.
2. Containing no crate bars or other irons in
interior.
3. Never requiring the bagasse to be stirred or
touched after 1t falls from the carrier into the
hopper of the furnace,
4. Drying the bagasse thoroughly in the furnace
where it remains more than one hour, exposed
TO great heat, before it reaches the point of
combustion.
S. Forming no Stag, and the ashes being carried
by the draught into a second chamber, are with
drawn at any time without stopping the sugar.
mill.
6. Burning all the bagasse on plantations of any
size, and requiring no other attention than to
take out the ashes and occasionally throw in
wood-the average consumption of which has
been only one-halt a cord in twenty-four hours,
when the furnace, tiues and chimney were
proportioned.
The furnace erected under the new patent of
August 9th, 1856, are fed without rollers by a
simple arrangement of balanced doors in the bot
tom of the hoppers, which open by the weight Of
the bagasse and require no attention whatever,
This is the only Bagasse Furnace which coms
blnes the above named features, either theoreti-
cally or practically.
An investigation Of the patents, specifications
and drawings Ito be had of the subscribers) will
prove this furnace to be constructed upon strictly
scientific principles, entirely distinct from those
ofand other patented furnace, and an examina-
ton of the furnace in operation, will convince the
the most incredujous of the successful application
ofthe principles laid down in the patents, as we'll
as its perfect simplicity of construction and
management, economy and durability. Some OF
these furnaces have taken off three crops without
any repairs, there being nothing but fire brick
exposed to the fire.
The undersigned are now prepared to contract
with parties for supplying and putting these
furnaces in operation, and solicit of sugar planters
an investigation Of their testified achievements.

Lo! the Poor SIaral

The Atlanta papers a few days since pub.
iIshed an account of a negro, named jeff, who
had beer freed by his master, Majors Waters,
OF Gwinnett county, in this State, and sent to
Liberia, voluntarily returning home and to
servitude. We publish to-day a letter from
one OF Jetf's companions to DR.. Charlton, of
this city, requesting that he, too, may be allow.
ed the privilege Of returning to bondage
William was also freed by Major Waters, who
made a liberal provision for his and the sup
port of his companions for a time after their
arrival in Liberia, and it was mainly owing to
the influence of this William, that the other
negroes were induced to 60, which they did
reluctantly. After enduring all manner of
prlvations and sufferings, and witnessing the
death Of many of his companions, and the
wretched condition of the survivors, William
has reached Philadelphia on his way home,
and is not satisfied even there among the fanaS
teal philanthropists who have raised such a
storm over the fancied prosecutions of his race,
but is DESTROYS to get back once more among
those whom he knows from experience TO be
his friends. We are clearly of the opinion that
the sending OF emancipated negroes from the
South to Liberia has been productive OF no
good result, and in addition to the sutferings
of the poor helpless creatures who have been
sent there through a mistaken philanthropy,
has done incalculable harm to many of our
slaves who have;been rendered Disconnected,
that they, too, should not be allowed to go to
that happy place, which they have been led to
believe was an earthly paradise for negroes.
We think that the worst use a negro can be
put to, both for his own and the good Of So
ciety, is TO free him, and we hope every man
in Georgia who has a negro, when he sees the
letter of William in another column, will read
it to that negro.
Practically, it is better defense Of the in
%stitution of slavery than all the Congressional
speeches or learned disQuisitions that have ever
been delivered or published on The subject.

The Bagasse Kettle Train and

Furnace and Kettle Train with a
consumption of Wood not to exceed one-haIf a
cord per hogshead for the entire boiling of the
juice into Sugar, or one cord per hogshead for both
grinding the Cane and Boiling the juice into Su-
gar.
The management of the Bagasse Kettle Train
is precisely the same as that required for the old
kettles, employing an equal number of hands to
clean the juice. The Furnace needs the atten-
dance of but one hand, as the Bagasse is never
touched after it enters the Furnace.

PERSEVERANCE,.

We do not know who is the author of this
sweet little poem, containing so excellent a
moral, but any one might not only be willing
to have written it, but really proud to claim its
paternity. 1t is full Of simplicity, and Illus
trates q noble truth. The moral is one that
should be treasured, and it could not be illus
trated more faithfully, or more sweetIy.
A swallow in the spring,
Came TO our granary, and meath the caves
Essayed to make a nest, and there did bYlng
Wet Plud, and straw, and leaves.
Day after day she toiIed
With patient art, but ere her work was crown'd
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoiled,
And dashed it 20 The ground,
She found the ruin wrought;
But not cast down, forth from the place she flew
And with her mate fresh earth and grasses bro't,
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
lhe last soft feather on its ample door.
When wicked hand or chance again laid waste
And wrought the ruin Ger.
But still her heart she kept,
AND tolled again-and last night, hearing calls,
| looked, and 10! three little swallows slept
Within the earth-made walls.
What truth is here, o! man;
Hath hope been smltten in its early dawn?
have clouds o,ercast thy purpose, trust or plan?
HAVE FAITH AM STRUGGLE ON!
