a GREAT SALE OF CATTLE.
Auction Sale Of Samuel Camnbell's Great
Herd Of Cattle ill Cattle Sell for
g3SO,9OO.


tgrom the View York rrbnre
UTICA, Sept l0.-The most wonder al
sale of ca'tle ever held has lust ta en-
place at New York Mills, three niles
from here. The herd, which the
property Of the Hon. Samuel ranph.ll
consisted largely Of the Duchess ard OK
ford breeds and others close AKIN, or
subordinate families like the ROsamOnde,
Lady NewhAms, Lady Knighlys, Lady
Bntes, etc. No herd was ever collected
either IN this cOnntry or England, of
equal numbers and value. The ast lni-h-
ing results of the sale fully bear ont this
statement that young animals, both male
and female, for many wears have been
frequently shipped TO England, where
they have met ready sale at very high
prices English breeders have houa ht
cattle here and transported them thther.
This sale drew to New York Mills renre-
sentative men of the shoTthorn breeders
of the world Not only were the great
grazing sections of Kentucky. Illinois.
Ohio, and Minnesota represented, hut the
most prominent ShOrihOrn breeders Of
New England, Canada, England aud
scotland met on common ground when
these superb specimens Of the noblest
race of cattle ever bred were brought to
the auction block.
The origin of the herd was the purchase
made bv Mr.. Samuel Thorne Of New
York, of several animals of the Duchess
tribe at the famous sale of Earl Ducie in
1858, which he bought for his father and
for Col Lewis g. Morris. In 1851 all
came INTO tie hands Of Mr. Samuel
Thorne, and were d0miciled upon the
broad meadows of Thorndale, In Dsches
County. They soon became famous by
his judieious trading and additions. Mr..
Thorue sold the herd IN Mr.. James o.
/ Sheldon of Geneva, in 1867 who, about
| 1870, parted with II to Nessrs. Walcott
and Campbell. Mr.. Campbell subsa-
quently became the sole proprietor, and
now, just 20 years after the Dacie sale,
for reasons not made public, he disp1ses
Of the entire herd, which, of course, is
/ represented all over America, Canada and
Great Britain.
Every facility for examining the cattle
was Offered for days before the sale, aud
liberal provision made for the wants OF
the visitors which surged into the
grounds. Both on Tuesday aud Welncs-
day the day was cloudy, but fine. About
5u0 people wcte in attendance. Amcri-
can Shurthoru breeders of note who were
not present might be- numbered ON Oue'-
fingers, and to give Il list Of those attend
ing is hardly possible. Among the
English breeders present may be men

Steam VS. Water.
INTERESTING CORRESPONDENTS.
EAGLE CoTroN M1LLs Co.

EAGLE CoTToN MILLS Co.,
P1TTsBURa, PA, January 3rd, 1873,
IL II. Reed, anderson, S. q:
DEAR SIR: Yoar letter of the 23rd,
December is received and contents
carefully noted. In reply, 1 will say
that have no knowledge of any printed
information of "The comparative advan.
tases, and disadvantages Of steam and
water as u motive power" -
L have had considerable experience
with both, and am free to say that per
fer steam, for several reasons:
1st You can locate your mill to better
advantage. If you use water, you must
so where it is, and if you get a never
failing stream you will be very fortu
nate. Many of the large mills at the
East have been obliged to put in
steam engine to assist in time Of drouth,
or of hard freezing in winter.
2ud. IF you use steam you can locate
in or near a town, where you will be
sure of supply of hands to operate
your machinery. In winter you need
steam for heating purposes, and must
have it, even if you use water as motive
power.
3rd. The first cost Of steam is much
less. The location must be worry advan
tageous, or the dam and other arrange.
ments might cost two or three times as
much as steam.
1t seems to me, the only question
with you is that of economy. Have you
cheap fuel? / so, would say, have
st am by all means. 1t is easily adapted;
and, If managed by man that under.
stands his business, will prove entirely
satisfactory.
You have many advantages that the
mills in other parts Of the country do
not enjuy, and l can sec no reason why
cotton mill in your place should not
be eminently successful Do not make
your capital less than 100000. Many
enterprises of THAT kind fail because
they are too small to successfully com
pete with larger ones. The general
expenses Of a small are nearly as much
as large one.
If you succeed in raising the oapi tai,
| would like to make few suggestions
before you organize. I have bcea
through this business twice, and know
ofisomc mistakes that have been made.
Yours truly, &c,
JOEL SMITH, Jr.,
Superintendent.
The Orangeburg news. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1867-1875, 1873-09-20

steam largely used as a motive power.
Indeed, two-thirds Of the mills are dri.
ven by steam. A friend ofmine who is
now tho manufact urer of Graniteville.
recently visited Massachusetts,; and af
ter Inspecting the Factories at Fall Riy.
er, told me on his return, that he ould
at all times prefer steam MS a motive
power. You must bear in mind that
the Steam Engine has been improved
within the past few years, both as to
power, and the saving of fuel.
1t is said we have not sufficient ca pi-
tai to go into manufacturing. 1 think
that is mistaken idea. Truly, money
is scarce with US. Still, can we not effect
orr object by cooperative means? If
fvo men cannot provide capital enough,
ten, twenty, one hundred or fve hun
drcd can do SO. Let us unite our
means-Ict US do, as men do elsewhere,
when they wish to start Il now business.
KNOW men In the North, who har sew
eral hundred thousand dollars inve,teg
in factories, and they have net more than
$50, 900 in any one concern. They take
stock in several factories, preferri n to
have the risk divided. How many per-
sous do you know, who can spare S1OO,
$500, $500, s40O, $3.50, or $1,000, or
even $4,000, to invest in factory, and
do it without crippling their present
business? There are many farmers,
merchants and professional men, who
can spare some one of these amouts, or
more. 1t will pay them handsomely to
put all their spare capital into facto-
ry. l am, respectfully.

AND MACHINE COMPANY, PATTERSON,
January s, 1872.
j. p. Eeed, anderson, s. c.:
DEAR SIR : We have your favor of the
23rd ult, and note contents. In reply
we have to say, 3lbs Of coal with a good
steam engine will give l horse power
per hour. This is sufficient to drive 80
spindles aad preparation equal to lib of
coal for 10 spindles per hour. This, for
one year, at 10 hours per day, would be
3,120ibs Of coal, which. at So per ton,
will give cost rer spindle for one year
of rs cents. Add tpr wages of engineer,
oil, waste, &C., 4 cents per spindle, and
We have total cost Of 50 cents per
spindle for one year. One ton of coal
is equal to cords of wood at S3 por
cord, the cost will be lsss, say Sets per
spindle, making the cost Of steam
power, burning wood, a cents per
spindle for Que year, working 10 hours
per day.
Tie cost of water power will depend
on the location. If you can get it for
nothing, it will be less than steam pow
er; depending, however, upon the cost
of dam, race-way, &c. With US, where
water power costs from nine hundred to
eleven hundred dollars per square foot
under head and fall of % feet the
cost for power per spindle is 81 40 per
annum.
Some Of the collateral advantages of
steam over water are: less heavy gear.
ing to get up speed; more steady
power; steam for heating and drying,
making sizing, &C., besides you can
locate your mill anywhere, convenient
to railroad, or where it may best suit
your convenience.
The advantages OF water over steam
are /: simplicity Of machinery; less care
required in It's management; and no uore
cost for running long or short time.
With the above data, you can decide
as to the relative cost of steam or water,
where you propose to locate your factory.
Respectfully yours, &c.
JOHN COOKE,
President.
