Aooioted ~by many of tk* moot popular writer*.
Since the puidication of the May number, the demand
for the Ladjea' Companion, has been unprecedented
and lieyood the moot sanguine anticipations.
At the rait mcncement of the volume an ml
ditiona) number of wpies were printed, which was
considered at the time adequate to satisfy all Ibe
orders wjuch >ight be received, and lease a considerable
numhe. anjiand tor subsequent calls. The
publisher is more thtin graiified in stating that the
whole edition wu* nearly exhausted before the issuing
of the seventh number of the volume; and at
this titue hut very few complete seta remain on
hand, to supply the numerous orders which are
daily received from every section of the U. S.
In consequence of this great unforseeu increase of
new subscribers, he has determined to double tho
number of impressions for the subsequent year,
while he most gratefully appreciates t?e unprecedented
encouragement extended to the Ladies' Companion,
and at th" same time, ho begs to assure the
readers of the magazine and the public in general,
that it ie his ardent resolution to meet it with a corrcspoudigg
liberality on his part to ruerjt its conlinu-'
mice.

America.
The Ladies' Companion contains a larger quantity
| of reading than any other magazine issued in this
country, and its subscription price is only three dolj
lars a year, while the great combination of talent
! secured for the coming year will rendor it unequalled
by any other periodical.
ITS LITERARY CHARACTER f
1 Will undergo considerable change, as the publisher
of the Lacics' Companion, in order to show his
appreciation of the public favor already exteuded to
him so liberally, has secured the aid of
Mrs. Ann S. Stephens'
late Editor of the 'Portland Magazine," and author
of a series of the most beautiful and popular tales
ever presented to ail American public. No lady
possessing greater variety of talent, or better calculated
to aid in conducting a ladies magazine, could
have been selected from the galaxy of female penius
which is the glory of our country. In addition to
the powctful talents of Mrs. Stopticns, the proprietor
lias secured a list of contributors, which combined
will render the L idics' Companion one of the most
interesting and talented magazines of the day.

devoted to the female portion of tho community
should !.c, interesting, ust fti! and instructive.
THE MUSICAL DEPARTMENT
Is under the supervision of Mr. J. "Watson, whose
qualifications for the task are too well known to require
our testimony.
This departmcnt of the Ladies' Companion, has
1 ever command, d.a large share of attention, and lias
heon looked upon with no little interest l?y its readers,
and more especially the Ladies, whom the
Iiubhshcr is in the highest .legrec anxious to please,
t will continue to l?c a subject of more than usnal
care to him, ami to the Professor under whose supervision
it is placed, to make that portion of the
magazine al otted to music, more than ever doscrving
of the countenance of every lover of music. It has
ever been and will continue to he the desire to have
all pieces of music printed correctly and free from
errors.
THE WORK IN GENERAL.
Over every department an equally careful supervision
will bo strictly exercised by the Editors, and
all appropriate ex|)ciiditures will be liberally Iwstowed
as it is the design oflhe publisher, with the aid of his
contributors and tho advice of iiis friends to make
the Ladies' Companion distinguished lor the beauty
and accuracy of its typograj.hy?ike variety and
high tone of its literary articles?the quality and
value of its music?and tho unequalled sulcndyr of
its pictorial cintxdishtnerits.
It is the deter inition of tho publisher to usrt every
means to maintain the superiority which the Ladies'
Companion lias obtained. For four years ho
lias steadilv ouisui d a course nt iii.nfovomnnt mul
he llattors himself tint his present facditie* arc such
as to give the Lilies'Companion eminent advantages
over all other publications of its e.haracter.
From th? foregoing it will be perceived that the
La lies' Com panum emhrac* s every department e.ithin
the range of liclles-Lcttrcs and the Fine Arts;
and 110 exertions or expense will bcdc?med too great
to render the work equ ?l to any other extant. The
flattering and general testimonials of nearly every
contcmparary journal in the Unittd States, and in
fact, many on the other side of tho Atlantic, have
strongly asserted the Undeniable claims of the Ladies'
Companion to the supjort of the public generally.

It is desirable, when planters give orders for Gins,
they should accompany tin m with their views in
regard to the arrangement of saws, breasts,.brushes,
Ac. It is found they differ in opinion Some
aesire saws o? larger diameter than otlicrs. The
most common size is 9 or 10 inches; but some wish
them 12 inches. Some wish G or G rows of brushes
on an axle* while .others do not want more thnn 4
at most. Some wish saws with 8 or 9 teeth to the
inch, while others want 10 or 11. With so much
discrepancy, we prefer they should, at the timeof
giving orders, turnish a statement of their wishes,
and the manufacturerers can fulfil them in every
particular. Where it is loft to our discretion, we
shall make them on t he most modern and approved
plan. An order can be executed, from the time it
is received, in the space ?f eight or nine weeks
and the Gin in that lime pi ced in ?he hands of the
factor To be in time for the next crop, all orders
ought to he in the hands of the manulaatnrers by

where they are late in commencing to pick or gin

Flat;em was now purchasrdfior Mr.JWadsworth
and shipped for America. After an unnsnally 'long
passage, during which he never laid down, he was
landed at New York, tho latter part of July, 1835,
was put in .training without the possibility of preparation,
but, notwithstanding, ran two very creditable
races, oho of which, mile beats, hew on ^beating two
Eclipse colts and a filly by the same horse. In tho
!tfllowing spring, ho was beaten by Mingo, thrco
mile heats, running second to himr, and beating CmVnkiin

Jewm, liy Henry, In the first heat, when ho was
drawn.
Oi this race the New York Spirit of the Times
contained the following account: "Cadmus had
the pole, Mingo the out side. They got away in
a cluster, the Jewess making 'a spurt* between the
stand and first gate that quite used her up, when
Cadmus and flatterer took up the running, Mingo
and Sidney lying well up, the first under a hard
Cull. Finding Cadmus disliked the pace, Willis
eld him on aflcr. the second mile and Mingo
headed the field with case. Flatterer maintained
his stride to the end. running a very handsome
second to Mingo, who, for a single three miles
can pull to the fastest horse in the country, and
come home ahead. Cadmus could not run in tho
mud?and his friends did not expect much from
him, though ho ran 2d the next heat, Flatterer
having been withdrawn after a very crcditnblo
performance. Sanford rode him in tip top style,
and had he carried lGSib. would have flung the
mud in the face of the best of them." 4
Flatterer did not start in the fall nor succeeding "
spring. He was purchased by W. L. Corbin Ecq.
of Va. and placed in the stable of J. 8. Corbin,
E q. of Fairfield, who furnishes the annexed'account
of his promise:?"In regard to the promise
Flatterer gave, while in training by n e, of making
a good race-horse, I can with sincerity, and 1 think,
truth, sav that it was decidedly flattering. In his
mile trial he beat "Whig" (a very fast horse) several
lengths, and exhibited v?ry good symptoms at
"the finish" ci an ability to run a long distance successively.
I witnessed a race on Long Island,,
last spring twelve months, between him nnd several
other very sharp nags, two mile heats, in
which Flattorc-r was a good deal over"tho foot" of
ony of them. J considered him then a better horse
than he showed tor, as he had had hut a poor chance
to recover from the unusually long and jough voyage
across the Atlantic, antf the injudicious races
he had been made to run the Autumn previous,
very rocenlly plter his lauding, Had his nog been
sound, when lie went into Irainit g this till, be
would, undoubtedly., Love made distinguishing and
ucccsful iacos in the camnnicn 1 would as soon
brood from Flatterer ns any untried Stallion in I lie
country*. IIis blood is as pure as n horse's can be
and liia family all run7 lie runs back very short,
ly to til English Eclipse, and is a lioise of uncommon
speed himself, and I think of bottom too.?
His hue aize, should recommend him to breeders
who may have small or slight mares 11 iu action
is remarkably pood indeed. 1 have given the
Gftom the requisite instructions, though from hi a
good temper none were needed. His health and
appetite arc ns geod as nnn be. I turned him out
during the training on account of c'iseasocl fiogs,
made so from standing in a foul stable at the North.
W. L. Corbin says of him, "1 am sure he will ful?
lil the promise expected of him in Carolina "
Mr. White, of Northampton county, who was
desirous of procuring Flultcrcr to stand in that
r.ounty, says "1 feel convinced that Flallc rer would
be excellent Stock lor this section, a* we have n
r-T" nmbrr > f A'cbb, '''.Tnnson and Lt2l or^ngu
mares, fciucli mateiiul, when built upon by
nucTi bone as Flatterer's, would insure gee el produce.
Our Tonson's, Luzborough's arel Hal's oil
lock bone. Flattcrci having a good share of size
inci bone, would hove added much to cur stock.?
Upon the whole i am much pleased with him. llis
rear parts 1 think first rate, and his countenance,
o a m- n of soul, is daily bread."
In a !? t*er to the owner, dated New York, Sept.
Kith, 1837, W. Jj. Corbin remarks, "Before toue ling
on your proposition, I will remark for ye.ur < diicntion
and benefit, what fell from the lips of a noable
fancyer ol the Mdocd of noble breeds' this
norning. Mr. Boardman, of Alabama, now here,
:hanccd to beat New Market, England, when Finterer
ran, and says he gave gre-ot promise, nt.el stood
ligli in the Sporting e.rc'cs. r.s does all his stock."
Flatte rer is yet unlrainc d ns a irtallicn?but ns
ill his stock in this countiy have established a high
-uputntion ns sure foal getters, it is expected lie
.vill maintain it.
The undersigned repeals the ns:uinnce that the
strictest and most can ful attention will be paid to
nares sent to Flatterer, and pledges himself to e?eiver
tlioni in good order nnd condition when token
way. And he will rcmnrk for the information of
ireeders who may be desirousof obtaining a cross
>f as noble blood ns ever coursed the veins of the
lorse, that, ns advantage cms olfcrs hare been made
