IRON HOOPS AND TIES
For. Cotton Bales.

Price, 6 cents per pound-25 per cent less
than Rape.
ANY one considering the advantages of Iron
over Rope as a material for binding cotton bales,
will be surprised that it has not been adopted
long since. In its security against fire there il
an overwhelming reason for it, adoption,
The presses in the Seaport Cities'have been
the main cause of it's not being generally adopt
ed; but, now that objection is removed gener-
ally, and the Orleans Press, the largest in n. o.,
give it the preference over rope. The FasslHann
Iron Hoop and Tie is the Improvement of one
OF the proprictors, and is adopted from the fact
that it is found. after long experiment. to com
bine the greatest merits in simplicity and ~i;tcility
of application Of any one yet made. 1t is so
prepared as to require no change for recon-
pressing. Thus obviating the only remaining
difficulty at the sea- board cities.
The hoops are sent of any length from eight
to ten feet, and a full guarantee given that
neither the Ties nor Hoops shall break. And
further, that all cotton bound in them shall be
received on the same terms at the Orleans Pres
as rope bound cotton. The weight per bale il
about the same as rope, not one pound more or
less.
To show the opinion Ship Masters have of it.
We give the following. among numerous com
mendations we have:
had cotton compressed with Fassmann S new Iron
Hoops and Ties, hereby recommend the same.
The bales being we'll compressed, end the but
tons or hoops never breaking when thrown
down in the ships hold: or when slowed.

sa The rowdy and blackguard

s6- The rowdy and blackguard who
commands the packet Poland came TO our
Office yesterday, with gang of his strikers,
to threaten personal violence, for publishing
the facts, to which twenty respectable citi-
zens can testify, of his brutal refusal to take
a sick family on his boat to Louisville.
His clustering threats only confirmed the
character, already given to him, of a rufiian
and heartless wretch, unworthy the support
and countenance Of any community. The
fellow, after fit of impotent buster, quietly
backed out of the Office, followed by his
valiant hackers. The suffering family re-
jected by the Poland laid over here till Mon
day, and was then kindly taken on board
of the Kdte French, and carried to Louis
Vile withoutcharge, or any fear ofbeing pros
ecuted there for a husaane and generous act.
The contrast in the conduct of the two men
and boats is not so great as the contrast in the
noble character of one and the infamy of the
other. 1t is duty of very community to
mark aud remember such men.

At a meeting held in the school house, on
Main street, on Thursday evening, August
18th, 1859, ". H. II. Hopkins was chosen
President, and Thomas McAvoy Secretary.
After debate. il was moved and seconded
that the following preamble and resolution
be adopted a vote was taken and the re-
suit was in the Affirmative: t,-ts
WHEREAS, Ii is the belief of this meeting
that any change of the present road lead
ing from the city of Evansville to Oak
Hill Cemetery, will not in any wise result
to the public convenience; but that said
change will cause large majority of the
citizens 10 travel considerably further
than ut present; and that il is also the
belief of said meeting that proposition
TO change the road would not hare been
made had not the parties interested in the
property through which the proposed
road was to pass been instrumental there
in; therefore, be it -. .a4.
Resolved, That all parties opposed TO such
new road to Oak Hill Cemetery be requested
to sign protest against il and this meet
ing will use their endeavors to prevent such
change. ..- b. --.tu .g.

HA- We were fully aware of the correct
ness of our structures upon the conduct Of
some of the Louisville boats when we made
them. We desire to have nothing " do
with Mr.. Carter. Many in our city, no
doubt, regret having formed his acquaint-
ance, and would be better off, peeuniarily,
had they never met the man. Impudrnoe
makes up many deficiencies; but n.laidrnce
will hardly make Mr.. Carriers assertions be
taken in preference to the statements OF
some of the oldest and best business men in
the city. We could give this Self-constitut-
ed gentleman the notcriety he so much de-
sires, were the details less nauseating to us
and disgusting to the public.
The prosperity Of our city has been great
ly increased through the influence of our
packets It is the interest of our BUSH
ness men to do all in their power to sustain
them and they should frown upon all IN
derhanded attempts to break them down.
We are sure all that our packets desire is
fair play. They do not expect to receive
more for carrying freight than il is worth.
But when they have consummated an agree
ment with men to carry their freight, they
dislike interlopers to come in and put the
prices down for the purpose of taking the
freight from them. We believe such efforts
sia be treated with the same contempt that
greeledIbe one recently made by the author
