For Cotton Bales.

ANY one considering the advantages of Iron
over hope as a material for binding cottan bales
will be surprised that it has not been adopted
long since. In its security against fire there is
an overwhelming reason for its adoption
The presses in the Seaport Cities have been
the main cause of its not being generally adopt
ed; but, now that objection is removed gener-
ally, aud the Orleans Press, the largest in n. O..
give 1t the preference over rope. The Fassmann
Iron Hoop and Tie is the improvement of one
OF the proprietors, and is adopted from the fact
that it is found, after long experiment to COM
blne the greatest merits in simplicity and facility
OF application of any one yet made. 1t is 50
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 cicht
to ten feet, and a fnll 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 Press
as rope bound cotton. The weight Der bale is
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
mendatons we have:
The undersigned masters of vessels having
had cotton compressed with Fassmann's new Iron
Hoops and Ties hereby recommend the same

BROAD RIVER RAILRoAp BRIDGE

We learn says the Newberry Comservatist
from Mr.. Rawor,h, the efficient Superintendent
of the Greenvile and Columbia Railroad, that
this bridge is completed. The trains ran over
it for the first time last Thursday. 1t is, per-
haPs, now the finest bridge in the State. The
Wood Work is said to he very excellent. and
thi, built upon remarkably we'll constructed
piers, will n" doubt make the whole bridge un
usually durable. There has been great need
Of such a crossing over this river for come time
so that the travelling public may be congratu-
lated that there is no longer any reason to ap
prehend danger at this point.

travelled over q more comfortable one than the
Greenville Road is at this time. It is in excel
lent condition.

TEACHERS AsSOcIaTION


FELLOW LADoRERs IL address you upon q
subject fraught with much interest TO ourselves
and the public generally. 1t is question that
has often arisen in my mind, and it now arises
why is it that the Teachers of the District have
never met in convention and formed Teach
er's associationi This is progressive age;
and viii lie the mechanics farmers and men Of
every other pro fcsson endeavoring to i'm.
prove by coming together and consulting ;-cx-
changing IDEAS and views upon subjects mmc-
diately connected with their calling in life -
wc the teachers, have no concert of action.
Every man has his own notions Of schooltench-

in his own way, without consulting with his
coaborers. in the great work of training the
mind of youth Why is this the cnse1 Are the

sary TO them in order that they may be the
better prepared to train tho youth Of our coun-
try arighti l think that they are, but owing
to circumstances they have never had that con-
cert of feeling mud action; which all are ready
to admit would be beneficial to them. Let
this be the case 40 longer, hut IL: us come to-
gcther and try to adopt some measure that
will be more universal than hitherto. Let us
endeavor to adopt some system that will be gen

tages that would accrue to the teachers and

only few, leaving the Others for future dcvc

one that seems best calculated to meet the
wants of the teacher.

naturally suggest themselves. to body of men
assembled for the purpose Of improving the
manner of teaching, are sufficient to call us to-

will reap a reward to their indefutgnlc and

1t is. however. with much surprise that We
