GRAPE CULTURE AND WINE. 
P ERSONS desirous rf x^lantiug vineyards are respectfully in- 
formed that the undersigned are prepared to enter into Con- 
tracts at such rates as ought to induce every Planter and Farmer 
to experiment with a few acres ; being convinced from observa- 
tion of experiments already made that Northern Georgia, Ala- 
bama, and East Tenno.Ssee, are better adapted to the Grape than 
any portions of ihe United States, the Great Valley of the Ohio not 
excepted. 
The cultivation of the Grape, and the making of Wine has been 
our occupation from early childhood, our parents having extensive 
vineyards of their own in Germany. This gives us a practical ex- 
perience, vrhich amhorises us to say that satisfaction in all cases 
will be guaranteed, and succc.ss warranted. 
We re.spectfu!ly refer the public to H. W Massengale. Chatta- 
nooga, Tenn.; X. G. IVJcFarland, Rossville, Walker county Ga.; 
Isaac B. Nichols, Opelika, Catoosa county, Ga., and W. F. W. 
Fischer, Dalton, Ga.; Mr. FUscher’s Viuejard was planted by us, 
and being on the Railroad, we invite persons to call and examine 
for themselves. 
We have for sale, as well as to plant, a large quantity of 
Catawba CUT''JTNGS, aud upwards of 40, 000 Rooted VINES, 
which will mature one year earlier than the cuttings. We solicit 
a share of public patronage, and will deliver either rooted 
vines or cuttings, during the jdanting season, at Chattanooga or 
Knoxville, Tenn.; Dalton, Rome, Atlanta or Augusta, Ga.

TO COTTON PLANTERS. 
T he Subscriber has thoroughly tried at Macon and Coinmbtis, 
Georgia, his wrought Iron CO ( TON SCREW, where two of 
them are now standing and will remain until October fo inspection. 
I believe it is the cheapest, by halt, ever offered for the purpose of 
pressing cotton or hay, as the frame, screw-pin. and levers at e ail 
of wrought-iron. It should be attached to the gin house, and bavo 
it put up through the floor, as the ordinary press — the levers being 
only five feet in length— to have the widt i of the house and 18 or 
20 feet in length, the lint could then ue placed all around tbo 
screw. Then a man can take five hands and pack as many five 
hundred pound bales in one day, with as little labor to the hand, aa 
the same five and two more, with a horse, can on the wood-.screw 
in the same time. Three hands can put up one and take it down, 
and it can be carried at one load with four mules to any point. A« 
this is for the publ'c eye,I will give the amount of timber necessary 
for comnleting one :
