FASSMAN'S PATENT IRON TIES
COTTON BALES.
oct21-y

Oo1 ION bALESs
MY BUTTON TIE was the first offered for sale
W to any extent in the South, and has been
used by thousands OF plan tiers with universal ap
proval. have made valuable improvement in
the shape Of the button since it first intro
duced, and have also procured patent for a
Buckle Tie, which, for simplicity, facility and
petition of adjustment to bales of any or of un-
equal sizes, and for security in holding, is think,
superior to any offered to the public.
The advantages of iron over rope for baling cot.
ton are now universally acknowledged. 1t holds
the bale in much smaller compass is applied
and fastened with much more facility, both in the
country pressing and re COMPRISING at the
ports; lessons Immensely the risk from FIRE; is
stronger, and its strength is not impaired by
time and Exposure as that of rope. This last ad-
vantage has been strikingly manifested during
the war. Thousands OF bales of cotton have been
lost by the rotting and breaking of rope, which
could have been preserved il iron hoops had been
used In addition TO this, it can be furnished
nearly 6fty per cent. cheaper than rope. The de-
rangement of labor in the hemp growing States
has reduced the supply of hemp to such an extent
as to cause prices to rule unprecedentedly high.
Indeed a safficiency for baling moderate cotton
crop cannot be relied on at any price.
The hoops are cut to lengths of 10, 10b and II
feet. Ten feet are most generally used, but lOH
and ii are sometimes required for large bales
The buckles are fastened to the hoops; the but
tons will be put up IN small boxes The weight is
about 10 pounds to the bale of cotton.
L nave arranged Tor the Importation of large
quantity of the lest English Iron, and have made
arrangements with Messrs. CHAMBERS LATrfNe
for the sale and delivery of my Ties.
SHIP REFUGE, New Orleans, July I, 1859
q. FAssMAN, ESQ:
sir--In January lastI received your press 1899
bales of cotton, of which about 1000 were COM
pres ed and bound with your new Iron Tie l
can safely affirm that the cotton so bound was re-
ceived in better order than 1t generally comes from
the Presses, that it so we'd better, and enabled the
ship to carry more than on any previous voyage.
The cotton when discharged from the ship in
Liverpool was in better order than the rope bound
cotton. 1t is highly preferable for ground tier,
as the damp arising from the ballast has no effect
upon it, for it is well known by practical men that
dampness will rot the rope bound. / can conf
IDENTIFY recommend yoCr hon Tie as l took this
lot for an experiment, and carefully watched it,
both in loading and discharging.
am, sir, yours respectfully,
JOHN HOWARD, Master.

FASTING. At a time when provi-
sions Of all kinds are so dear, and
procurable by many to but very
limited extent, it must be very con-
sollng to learn, on the authority of
an eminent English physician and
Psychologist, that occasional absti-
nence from food is likely to be more
beneficial than otherwise. DR.. Frank
lin recommended fasting one day in
the week. A workman would be slow
to follow this advice, unless the day
OF fast were also one of rest. DR..
Davy, the writer referred to, points
out the fact that, although the Irish
people suffer more from the scarcity
of provisions than those of England.
and have been subject to famines
almost unknown to the latter, yet the
average longevity in Ireland is greater
than in England.
This is not borne out by record.
however, in the assertion that persons
most remarkable for their longevity
were invariably to be found among
the poorer class of people. These
latter furnish, indeed, the large num-
Der, but not q few from the noble and
princely houses and dignitaries of
the church in different countries of
Europe might be named, who reached
very advanced age. It will suffice
for our present purpose to mention
three historical characters, among
many others, on the favored list, viz !:
George the Third, of England, Tai
leyrand and Palmerston, who were
gathered to their fathers at the ages
respectively of eighty three, eighty
fo1rand eightyyears: Lord Brougham
still lives, and is eighty-seven.
Certain it is, that with advancing
civilization, the mean duration or the
value of life has greatly increased in
modern times, or within the last two
centuries. In Geneva, Switzerland,
the increase, during little more than
this period, has been from twenty
one years and two months to forty
years and five months. The gain is
more noticeable among the Weather
and well to do classes of the popula-
ton of city; on the other hand, the
needy and the destitute furnish more
cases of sickness and higher bill of
mortality.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-In the Senate
to-day, Senator Sherman presented peti-
tion from citizen of Columbia, S. c., ask
ing indemnity for loss sustained by the
destruction of his house He read a
letter from Gen. Sherman, alleging that
Columbia was not fred by Federal author
lty, but by order of Gen. Wade Hampton.
Gen. Sherman states that the town was on
fire when he entered it. The petition was
referred to the Committee on Claims.
The bill to admit Colorado was dis
cussed
Mr.. Sumner opposed it, because the Con-
stltutlon OF Colorado contained no provi-
SION to allow negro suffrage.
The House would not permit the intro
duction OF 4 resolution declaring the mex
pediency of the scheme looking to the
guarantee by this Government of Mexican
or Fenian loans.
The Reciprocity bill was discussed.

WASHINGTON, March 13-Some weeks

vinces visited Washington with view to

united States and the British Provinces
bill for this purpose was reported to
Congress. 1t has been discussed in the
House for several days, and last night that
body rejected it. The Foreign Tariff Act
will now apply to the British Provinces.

Speaking of the fruit crop, the

Speaking of the fruit crop, the
Raleigh Progress says: "From various
sources of information in this section,
we are induced to believe that the
apprehensions expressed in some
quarters as to injury done the fruit
crop by recent cold weather are not
well grounded. A gentleman who
has recently returned from a tour
through most of the Eastern Counties
assures us that the trees there gave
no considerable indication of bud
ding, and the people are generally
confident of large yield. We hear
similar opinions proclaimed in this
vicinity by the knowing ones.''

..srhc Spirit of the South"

Under this caption, the New York
commercial MAdcertiSer-a paper which
represents the commercial interests of
the shoddyites of the metropolis
discourses in recent issue. We ap-
pend the paragraph of that journal,
ana beg to say IN answer, as We have
been requested to do by one of our
Oldest and most esteemed city mer-
chants, who received it in letter
from an equally old and respected
merchant of New York, asking if it
were true, that the business man in
question either wilfu1ly misrepresent-
ed the subject, OF knew nothing of
what he was talking. We have many
Northern gentlemen here in business,
not one of whom, we venture to say,
would endorse the sentiments of the
writer 1t may answer very good
purpose to the shoddyites who read
the Commercial Adcertise, to repre-
sent Southern feeling in this manner.
The war is over, and SO are army con-
tracts, and little maneuvring on
Wall street does sometimes a won
drous amount of good. Whether,
however, South Carolina is better
place for the investment of capital
than Wall street, we leave it for those
interested to discover. If emigrants
desire fine openings, this State pre-
sents as fine opportunities as any sec
ton of the globe, all the cock and
bull stories about it being 'sunsafe to
be out after nightfal," &C., to the
contrary Notwithstanding. But here
is what the Adce1lise,' and the .sbnsi-
ness man" says:
Cone of our business men, who
has just returned from an extensive
tour through South Carolina and
Georgia, states, as result of his
observations. that it would be very
lmprudent to Immediately admit those
two States, at least, back into the
Union. He found, everywhere in
Sherman IS track, q spirit of bitterness
and disquietude. Instead of encou-
raging or welcoming emigration, the
people, as general thing, betray
open hostility to strangers coming
among them, and new comers are
not safe outside of the military lines
after nightfall. Especially is this
true ut Charleston, where anything
but inducements are held out to emi-
grafton. TO use his own language
again, the citizens have determined
to run out every Northern man
coming to settle among them
''We trust that these accounts of
Southern hostility and insubordina-
ton are overdrawn. One thing,
however, is very certain-the plan of
reconstruction now being pursued
has, instead of stimulating emigra-
ton, placed a direct veto upon it.
No man of sense is disposed to risk
his life and capital in region where
he knows that he cannot be guaran-
teed the protection Of the Govern
ment to which he has remained loyal"

Emigration to Mexico.

From a circular letter of Lieut.. nj.
F. Marry, Imperial Commissioner of
Colonization for the Empire of Mexi-
co, we learn some facts important to
persons desiring to settle in that
country.
Lieut.. Maury is authorized to dis
pose of 1OS, 459 acres of the haciend.,
of Limon, situated on the Panuco
River, in the Department of Taman-
hpas, giving gratis every alternate
section-64O acres-to man with q
family; 800 acres to an unmarried
man, with pre-emption right in each
case to as much more. at two dollars
per acre.
It is not advisable at present for
immigrants without money to go to
Mexico, except under the auspices of
some friend who can assist them. or
under the care of some one of the va
rious companies, recently incorporat-
ed, for establishing colonies.
Agents have been established at
various convenient points, to assist
immigrants on their arrival in the
country, by giving them information
and furnishing them with the neces-
sary certificates anu passports to en-
bic them to pass the custom houses,
to enjoy all the rights, privileges and
exemptions of the Emperor's decree.
Perfect freedom of religious wor-
ship is guaranteed by the organic
law of the Empire, and sanctioned bv
the Pope.
The Empire is continually gaining
ground; the columns of the newspa-
pers are daily, and have been for
months, filed with the names of Lii
berals, who, looking upon the EN-
pre- as a success, and their cause as
failure, have laid down their arms,
and are giving in their adhesion to
the Imperial Government.
Immigrants can find desirable To-
cations in any climate they please.
and suitable for the cultivation of any
staple they prefer, or the raising Of
any kind of stock. Lands may be
purchased in almost any part of the
country at any price, from few cents
to few dollars per acre.
The proper time for immigrants to
arrive IN the country is between the
first of March and the first of June.
Immigrants may confidently count
upon all the assistance, and every IA
cllity, and the best information that
1t is the power of the Imperial Com
mission to extend. Lieut.. Maury is
about to embark for England, expect
ing to bring over his family to Mexi-
co: During his absence, Sub-Com-
missioner r. L. Maury will attend to
the business of the Commission.

1t is rumored that he will 60 with the
conservatives sustaining President

cal association with Stevens and Sum

the confidence of the radical plotters
since the commencement of the ses-

liberal and patriotic view Of the ne

the party have preferred to estrange
themselves from the Executive.

HE WAY THEY DIsAppEAR.-Th,

'Shenonlooh Valley says:
On Saturday morning last, the at
ton Of some of Captain Rics's hands
was attracted by the cries of an
infant, proceeding from an old stable
near his residence. On investigation,
an abandoned negro child was found.
The captain, on being informed of
the circumstance, Immediately pur-
sued the inhuman mother, and, over
taking her about two miles below
town, he compelled her to return and
take her infant away with her. The
child, when discovered, was sur
rounded by hogs; and it is more than
probable that in Il short time it would
have been devoured.
