PORTABLE STEAM ENGINES. 
T he subscriber respectfully calls the attention of ‘S outhern 
Planters and Mechanics to the PORTABLE STEAM EN- 
GINES, of which he has the Agency in New Orleans. They are 
so simple in their construction that any negro of ordinary capacity 
can be taught to run one in a day. For driving light machinery, 
running cotton gins, plantation sawmills or corn mills, unnpiug 
water, steaming food, etc., they cannot be excelled A striking 
feature of these engines is that they cost less than would mules or 
horse.s, to do the same amount of work. A pair of horses will 
readily move them place to place over any ordinary road They 
require no brick-work to set them up, but they are all readj' to be 
put in operation, with the exception of a smoke-pipe or chimney 
One is kept at work in the subscriber’s warehouse every day be 
tween 9 and 3 o’clock, a d all are invited to call and inspect it 
The Planter, especially should look with plea.sttrc upon the intro 
duction of these Engines, to take the place of horse-power in gin 
ning cotton and grinding corn, as the cost o ' running a 6 8. or 10 
horse Engine is much less per day than the expense of feeding the 
same number of horses:
