New IRON T1E.-As the action of the Insurance
companies and the steamboat captains compel the use
of the iron tie for baing cotton it behooves our plan
tiers to select the cheapest simplest and most durable
tie. This they will find in Dillcns Universal Wrough
iron Tie" which has just come into use Thayer u
Bvrne are the sole agents for this section OF country
as will be seen by their advertisement IN another col
umn Where it has been used it has given universal
satisfaction As an evidence of the fact we clip the
following frotn the Savannah Advertiser:
On Saturday last the trial was had at the Central
Cotton Press when the different styles OF iron bands
were put on the Bates while in the press, and when
the bales were rolled out On the wharf, the factors
shippers, shipmasers and others interested, sooa py
to look on and await the result.
The Fassman Tie 4" which is endorsed in New Or
leans requires sort of bac2I-handed arrangement,
tuckng up the slack of the hoop on the inside; very
troublesome arrangement and taking great deal OF
| time to make the coupling.
Next came the Beard Tie" which has slots in the
hoop and hook to fit into the slot. This does not
suit as the hydraulic press brings the bale into SUCH
a small compass that there are no holes into which
the hook will ft This might do for plantation pur-
/ poses, but will not suit the hydraulic press
| The arrow Tie " was then tried, which will allow
any length of hoop. This seemed good until the bale
was set out on the wharf, when the expansion of the
cotton drew the band close up to the tie. After the
bale had been set the wharf for two hours the
sharp edges of the tie cut out the hoop and The bale
bursted.
Last of all came the Universal Tie" in which the
end of the hoop is brought up and bent over just
where IL reaches the place to which the bale is com
pressed A pin is then thrust through the blight OF
the hoop and everything stands steady 1t cannot
cut out break, and stays just as it leaves the
|
port to which it is to be sent. The stevedores like
this STYLE there ends of iron bands sticking
out and the underwriters will insure this cotton at less
rates than those bound with rope.
How TO PREVENT OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Wilson
has written letter to prominent Virginian inform
ing him how to avoid confscation The following is
the nauseatng dose:
SENATE CHAMBER, WASHINGTON, D. c.,
July 10, 1867.
To VIM T. Early, Esq, Charlottesville Va:
Dear Si,.-Yo ask me in your note I" What action
is necessary the part of the people here to avert
from them confscation?" l am sure the generous
action of Gen. Grant and our commanders towards
the men in arms against their country; the magma
nimity Of the nation; the liberal policy of Congress
should satisfy you and the wedisposed people of the
rebel States that nothing will be done for revenge but
everything for the enduring peace of the country.
Nothing bring con6scation upon the people of the
rebel States but the persistent folly and madness of
the masses of their people; and cannot believe that
the body Of their people will by their future action
bring confscetion upon themselves I will suggest,
my dear sir, way for your people to avert from
themselves confscation, disabilities, restore
law, ORDER peace, and individual and national pros
perity and happiness let them abandon ct once and
forever the ideas principles and policies of their lost
cause strive to conquer the prejudices, hates, and
passions engendered by their rebellion and the con-
Hirtth cd Tatth hem recu1t Of
the nations victory, tie unity of the States the per-
petuity oft republic the emancipation, entranchise
ment, and citizenship of their bondmen their equality
Of rights and privileges. Let them do this in spirit
we'll as in form let them establish schools for the ed
ucation of both let them encourage the freed
men TIC be thrifty and temperate; to get homesteads
and to engage in industries in larious forms; let them
develop the mighty resources Heavenly Father has
given the people of the sunny South, and cherish
spirit of fraternity and love- Such action will inspire
affection, confidence, magnanimty; make confscaton
IN impossiby; cause disabilities speedily to dsap
pear and bring down upon them their States and
country blessings and benefits.
Very truly your friend
W
