act of Congress, which limited the max
imum to 81 % for the first ten words, and
thirty six cents for each additional The
rates from New York to San Francisco are
So % for the first ten words, and forty eight
cents for each subsequent word, the dif-
fereEce being the present charges between
New York and St Louis. As yet, through
rates are cxacted upon III dispatches to
Salt Lake City, Carson City, and other in-
termediate stations ON the route, no way
rates having so far been determined on
This irregularity will, however, it is said,
be Of only short duration. as at meeting
of the company soon to be held in New
York, way schedule will be agreed upon.
The impression that the present rates are
too high, either for the accommodation of
the public or the interests Of the company,
is one which time may confirm, Such is
the opinion Of some Of the corror4torS. who,
it is to be hoped, if they arc Ti-ht, viii
be able to conyinee the controlling iuilu-
ences in the company that it is good policy
to reduce their prices. - ~

PATENT DOUBLE RIB GIN.

HAVE invented and obtained letters patent for
/ Double-chilled Reeve: sing Rib for Go ton
Gins, which will manufacture at Cotton Valley,
Macon county, Alabama.
The advantage Of my improvement in the Cotton
Gin Rib, consists in making them reversible 20 g.
to do double service. Each half Of my improved
Rib is made with the same curve, and The two snds
are of the same size and shape; go that when enc
end 10 worn out and becomes UNIT for use, tne
farmer can take them of himself reverse ana re-
place them again, and make them do double the
service of those heretofore usc. 1t will save tne
farmer the trouble aqd expense OF Transporting Ms
Cotton gin to some factory I'D procuring new
set Of Ribs. Any one can IKE them on ana re.
place them again. All that requires is take out
the screws and run them bak again, and then you
will have new set Of Ribs .,
Ny Improved Rib will MT be very popular with
gin-makers in general, for they say that the gins
last too long. Some have acknow]ed thas II Is
superior to sny Rib they have ever seen. IS the
farmer that want to please, and IT he Will give
me trial, / will certainly do it. With tweive
years experience, Aatter myself that can make
o. good Z gin a. any one; and with my improve,
ment. know that can make them last ohe-tniro
longer, without any expense for repairing: AN
that ask is to give me trial. Persons v'sh'ng
