the mode of so doing is not material to

be likewise most acceptable to the Stock I
holdrf s JYoui Committee have received

the suggestion - of the Representatives ot

that if Tthe General Assembly would pass

tike wise tend tubring opprt.brium upon the

to the defaulting individual onjy. From the
facts here disclosed, and this course of rea
soning, the gentlemen who represent th
State are of f opinion, that, to prevent a re
curreace of the evils heretoore experiencet
Iromi toe large number of the Directors, the
Legislature ought to make it a condition of

feel themselves .ompelled to state, that ma
ny ol the Gene il Meetings have, from time
to time, exerted themselves to restrain loans
to the Directors and to require curtailments
fromthem. ; 1 fact, the inconveniences
and losses riow xperienced were not unex

This has, I think, been accomplished by
the mill' to which 1 "have 'reference, and
which ' will, I have no doabt, supersede
those now in general use. It is the inven
tion of Capt Thomas Baker a Planter of
Sumpter District, a gentleman mucn devo
ted to mathematical and mechanical pur
uits. The mill cunsitsts of a solid cone ol
cast-steelof broad base arid low altitude,
revolving vertically within a hollow cone ql
the same materialboth having their anta
gonist surfaces serrated' with curvUiriear
ridges running fro. ti the vortex to the cir-
cumfefence and inct easing in number as
they approach the satter. 1 he active or
running cone rotates upon an elongated axis
of wrought ironon which is fitted a double
wheeliurned out of a solid block of wood.
The mill is attached to stout end pieces oi
a strong frame by' screw bolts. It is work
ed by thV machinery of a;Cotton Sa w Gin,
or any similar contrivance, and is propelled
by the powtr bf avborsepr mule : so little
IS tne enorr wnicn mv cnnumi seema iu rui
pioy that thV strength "bfltwd men will per
haps, be- sufficient. The f r ame on which
the mill is mounted is somewhat less th
that of the common 40 saw gin, and is it
tended, when at work, to occupy ihe plac
of the latter. To put the mill in motioi
nothing more is necessary than to cast th
band from the wheel of the gin, and havin
removed the gin and seated the mill in it
placeto pass the band 'round one of th
wheels which are fitted on the axletree
the mill : or it may be worked at the sa
time with the gin by providing an addition
shaft, truridle-head.' and band wheel opp
site to those which drive the gin. In tnt
low country where saw-gins are not in use j
it is in the power: ofm planters to substitut
any" simple contrivance for the impelling,
machinery of the saw-gin a crank-wheel
tor instance.' ' '
The Corn is conveyed into the Mill from
a pyramidal hopper of the Capacity of about
l- bushels, through a square aperture near
ibe apex of the Mill, where it comes into
immediate contact with the grinding sur
face of the Mill and is thrown out in the
form of grist, from every point of the cir
cumference,' into a chamber chiselled but ot
the end piece on which tlie Mill is screwed,
arid finds vent through an aperture at 'the
bottom of the Mill where the chamber is
levelled off so; as to allow the grist to flow
out at an angle of 45 or 50 degrees.
t iThe Mill having been set up about d
month ago, on a plantation near Stateburg,
several gentlemen from that: place arid the
vicinity assembled to witness' its perform
ance. In consequence of the new and raw:
state of the grinding7 surfaces, the gradua
ting screw was but moderately set owing
to this the cbm had -to be pasied through
the -Mill three timta- peodoct be
came of: the required fineness. After the
Mill had been sometime at work, surprising
all by the rapidity of its .execution, half a
bushel of .corn was placed by Uelf in the
hopper ; the mule was allowed to take bis
natural paceand ! the operation was timed
by: the watchewrn was'passedthro',
to the condition of cracked corn, such as is
usually giyeri tp horses, in -4j minutes ; it
was immediately .emptied into the hopper,
it passed through .the second time in S j
minutes and being restored; to the hopper,
(ssed through thetb
nutes wheri It was prbpounced tb be of the
requisite fineness. tThuf 0 half bushel
was ground up in 10 minutes, equal td three
bushels per hour ; or allowing ; 10 bours t
the working day. eqoaf to 30 bushels pel
day -9 week's allbwahce for a jgang of 120

.B. The band-wheel of the gin, by which
Hie mill was" worked, was six inches in dia

Mr.' P.'H. Bincrham being- about to remove to

Classical land Military Institution, fo be under the
general directioo of Cpt. Parlridge, the under

to which his character and genrieuianb;,dejMU

some years in this city and has been engaged ia
a Seminary similar in its character to that coat
templated in North Carolina. We hare thus ;'a4
an opportunity to judge of his qual ifications ; but
ou that point we deem it unnecessary for us t
offer any recommendation in aid of the circuits

by so distinguished a professor as Captain Pact
ridge, from amongst his veiy numerous and well
informed pupits. We may 'observe, however,'
that ho has distinguished himself here, by a de
gree of diligence, perseverence and regularity
calculated to insure him, any where, that success
which we hope will reward his present undertfc
king. : ; , . ; .
