The GaEEJeEt Steel B1'agSh
Gin.

NNhis celebrated COTTON GIN, is
l. again manufactured under the
supervision of the Patentee, B. D.
Gullett, with greatly improved facili-
ties; and we. as agents for the South
west, now offer it as the best gin made.
Its advantages are:
LIST. The quantity of cotton ginned
in given time is much greater than
by any other gin of equal number of
saws.
Cd. 1t separates from the Cotton
all notes and dust and leaves it clean
from nap.
Sd. The Steel Brush straightens
out the lint, removing all kinks and
knots.
4th. The Roll cannot be bEeken by
over feeding.
All Gins are tested before leaving
the factory. Cotton from this gin will
sell for an advance in price, sufficient
in so Bales to pay for the gin, because
If is freed from notes, dirt and nap.
It has been in use extensively in the
Southwest ten years, and wherever
used it supercedes all other gins.

LETTER FROM DELAWARE CITY.
DELAWARE CIrY, July 2O. ISG7.

DELAWARE Cry, July 20, 1867.
Messrs. Editors Heretofore my ram
bles have been confined almost exclusively
to Kent md Sussex counties, but have al
length found my way into New Castle, and
into the very garden spot of Delaware.
What splendid agricultural region sur
rounds this ancient and pleasant town. The
farms of the Reynolds and Clarks cannot be
excelled by any in the State, in their pro-
ductiveness and fertility. Not only are these
farms highly cultivated, but ornamented by
the most beautiful and commodious man
si0ns embellished with all the arts of mod
ern architecture, giving The country around
truly grand and picturesque appearance,
and IN addition to NIL these, the broad flow
ing Delaware contributes to make the scene
more charming still, covered as 1t IL by steam
boats in which the Reynolds have large in
terest; and other craft bearing upon the
white wings of commerce to and from all
countries Inc produce Of all nations In
speaking OF the farms OF tho Reynolds and
Clarks, do not mean to say there are no
other farms In this vicinity worthy of men
ton, but they are mentioned on account of
the vast amount OF land held in their names.
There is no poor, worn out land in this part
Of Delaware, but everywhere and on every
hsRd may pe seen the signs Of thrift and
prosperity.

VETO NO.

The latest veto message of Mr.. A.Johnson
was sent in to Congress on Friday. II is
lengthy, though not so elaborate as one OF
two of its predecessors. Its CHIEF burden OF
complaint is the degree of power possessed
by the military commanders, ana the old
story of the lost rights of the rebel States
He argues the we'll worn chop-logic ques-
ton whether the rebel sections have lost
their character as States, and cites In sup
port of his assertion that it is too late to I'M
peach the legality and validity of their or
ganization, the snap judgment OF Secretary
Seward, who assumed to decide thai the
Constitution Amendment abolishing slavery
| needed ratification by three-fourths OF all
the States, South as well as North, and that
the approval of rebel Legislature, given
under the influence of threats and menaces
from the President, was the same as unin-
fluenced consent of loyal one. OF course
this little diplomacy of Mr.. Seward amounts
to no authority whatever, but the President
thinks ii worth quoting.
The conclusion of the message sounds
like an echo from speech on the Western
tour of last year. 1t scolds and rants II
| Mr.. Johnson's best approved vulgar ant
violent style. He is "still hopeful of tn
" future" as well he may be. In the end
.the rod of despotism will be broken, tn
armed heel of power lifted from the neck
} ''of the people, and the principles of vic
"lated Constitution preserved!' &C., &c.
The deafness of this defunct President
entirely too far advanced to make it wort
while for anybody to argue with him. HI
former vetoes are repudiated by his own leg
adviser, and his recent ideas by the little m
= nority of Democrats in the Senate. Nobod
heartily supports him now, and no one w
tolerate his company after his term of Off
expires

objection. There will not be any difficulty

As AN INDICATION of the conclusions AT
which the administrators of the law have
arrived, in large cities, with reference to
prison systems and the punishment of Grim
inals, we cut from the Philadelphia Press,
The following:-Judge Pierce, in passing SEN
irnce last week upon young convict, guilty
Of a first offence, said he sswould not send
him to the County Prison, where he would
associate with thieves, but to the Eastern
prnitentiary, where he would be kept from
associating with criminals" The fact that
his reasoning was perfectly correct, and
that the sentence to place considered by
the law as the proper receptacle only for the
worst grade of criminals, is the least injur-
ious, forcibly illustrates the evil tendencies
of our over-crowded County Prisons, and
how utterly fatal it is to the reformation Of
the prisoner, which is, theoretically, one Of
the main objects of punishment"

SOME OF the Southern papers comment
with some bitterness on the proposed inves-
tigation into the treatment of Union prison
ers by tbs rebels. One heads an article con-
corning the inquiry "More Hanging and
more Blood, and thinks 'these Anderson
willie and Libby prison matters had better
''be let alone and buried with the dead
post"
The Southern people may not know that
no single recollection, nor indeed all others
combined, are SO painful and bitter to the
minds Of the loyal portion of the nation, as
the memories of the rebel prisons. Had
our soldiers never been ill used at Libby,
Belle Isle, Salisbury, and Andersonyile,
there would be infinitely less severe feeling
against the g lost cause and nothing was
40 often and earnestly urged in advocating
the propriety of g hanging JEFF. Davis" as
the probability that he was responsible for
the treatment Of the Union prisoners The
investigation is most just and proper. II
should have been made long ago, and it is
hard to. see how any reasonable person can
present any cogent objection to it.

THE WORK IN THE s0UTH.

1t will seem strange reading to look over
the returns of the victories for the Republi-
can party in the Southern States. Though
Grant and Sherman plowed the soil SO tho
roughly that everybody, except Conserva-
tives of the Delaware Maryland stripe, ex-
poets loyal crops to grow from their tillage,
still there will be new emotions OF pleasure
and surprise when weread that the Radicals
have carried South Carolina.
One of the most active, most thorough,
and most efficient instrumentalities for for
warding the good work in the South has
been the Republican Congressional Commit
tee, of which seven members, Gen. Schenck,
Senators conness and Chandler, Representa-
tives Kelley, Logan, Broomall, and Amcs,
have been an Executive Committee, and have
performed the immediate duties. Needing
assistance in the furthcrance of their most
important work--thc diffusion of documents.
the employment Of public speakers, and the
organization of Republican parry in each
State-the committee have issued an appeal
to their friends, detailing the progress AREA
dy made and asking for aid, that it may not
be checked at this most vital moment, when
the South is broad field, open to CONVEX
sion, and one hundred dollars will accom-
plish more than ten Thousand used wear
hence. The people in the RECONSTRUCTED
States are eager for information, the masses,
white as well as colored, desire to know
more of the great party whose devotion to
the principles of National progress, political
justice, and territorial integrity, has been SO
steadily asserted and successfully main
tanned. The loyal people Of the South are
rapidly-increasing body, and now, mora
than ever before, or after so far as human
wisdom can perceive, is the golden moment
10 s@f'i ihelf ranks. 'They are with lis in
every desire Tor SUCCESS" say the commit
tee, "but they need assistance. both Of
money, for political organization, and OF
knowledge for the best means Of effeotine
SIT"
Since the passage of the Reconstruction
Bills, fifteen Republican newspapers in tbe
lately rebel States have increased to ninety
of which twenty ore published daily. This
is significant, not only of the pGw era Of
free speech, hut of the rapid increase oi
readers and patrons for such journals Il
will not appear strange, then, that the com.
'mittce send documents direct to twenty
