PA l*ENT REVOLVING STEAM WASHER~ ]
The aubsc tl'jer having purchased the right of i
the above machine, aod alto of (he improved CHURN
ING MACHINE, for the greater pari of the State of
Virginia, and for the District of Columbia, has yet for
•kle the District, and the south-eastern and sou h- wes
tern counties, which will be sold on very advantage
oua terms to persons wishing to purchase cither by
(be city, corporation, or the county. The v«ry favoia
ble recommendation which an observation of its opera
tion gives it, the universal approval of it wherever it
bee been introduced, and the many applications which
have been made to me by Liter from different pari?
of the stale, recently, are the best evidence cf its su
parior excellence over any thing of the kind. The
right haa very frequently been sold in couutiea where
various other machiuas have been presented, and itha<
never yet been introduced in'o ore single county ol the
seventy that have been sold, without a fair sale being
•fleeted in a ahort time, and frequently several adjoin
counties sold with tha one in which it has beeu ef
fected.
In my abaence Mr. Robert Kaylar will negotiale
bus ness for me, and any proportion he may make I
will accede to, and have given him full power to sell
rights and give deeds for the rams to any tertitory 1
have for sale.
When iu the city, both of us can ba found at tho

rv arreman, juarcn u9
Dear Sir: The patent Revolving Steam Washer, [ol
which as I have been informed, you have obtained the
patent right for the counties of Fauquier and Prince
William.] has been fully tried in my family—anil it
five* me pleasure to state, on the authority of Mrs.*
•tniiuon, that it appears to merit all the recommenda
tion bestowed upon its inventor—and I have not the j
least doubt that the same impression will be maie on
any family tbit may use it.
The asloni«!uug!y quick and very efficacious manner
in which it cleanses all kinds of clothes, and the appa
rent I in pus ibihity of their bring injured in any way by
Its operation, class it amongst the very best imple
ments of domes'ic economy. It is obvious that the
health ol the washer-woman cannot be impaired by
usiug this machine; nor the aiticles washed be irou
moulJed, as it is not necessary to boil the clothes in an
irou vessel over the fire. The acquisition of this ma
chine will, 1 feel persuaded, be matter of congratula
tion with any family that may purchase it. To the
farmer who raises sheep, it paniculaiiy commends
itself, as greatly facilitating; the toilsome work of wash
ing his wool, and doing that woik much more effectu
ally, I apprehcnl, than it can be done by hand.
Hoping that you may meet with general patronage,
net only lor your own sake, but for the sake of rebel
and comfort to the rountry at large.
1 rsmam, very sincerely, your well-wisher,
GEO. LEMMON.
This is to certify that I have used the patent Ra
volviug Steam Washer of Gro. Calvew’s and esteem it
a very valuable improvement in domestic economy, and
one which I think wey worthy of the public notice.

We, the undersigned, having witnessed (he opera- ’
tion of the Patent Revolving Steam Washer, take
pleasure in recommending it to the attention ol the
public. The astonishingly quick and very efficacious
manner in which it cleansed all kinds ol clothes, the
utter impossibility ol ilietr being injured, or buttons
broken, (a very popular oljsc iou to ail others which
we have seen) clas.-e* it among the very best imple
ments in the domestic economy — the heal h ol the wash
Witn*n cannot be impaiied by u-ing the Machine; uor
the articles washed be iron moulded, it not bring ne
cessary to boil the clothes in an irrn vessel over a tire.

We would call die at'enlion ol the public particular
ly to the advertisement of Mr. John L. F'ani, ol the
Revolving Steam Wa*her, in to-day’s piper. It will
be perceivad by the certificates appended, that we
have s-id all • hat could be said; but lest it might be
supposed that wte have lent our names merely as a mat
ter of course, wj will say that it ha9 been done in g.od
faith—and that we cousilcr this M ichtne as one ol in
calculable value. 1: cau ba earned with advanag
into every lamily whether small or large—in large
families it will waslv many clothes in ft short time, ami
in small ones it cm be used to save labor.
Tl.ie may certify that we have had the Patent Re
volving S cam Washer in use in our lamily tor seve
ral months, and that we consider it the Lest improve
ment we have ever seen or used in tha (L mes’ic
economy, for raving of labour, fuel, anil soap; and be
lieve that clotoes are ies* injured by it th hi by wash
ing in any other way, aad the exposure to lake cold is
Diueh less.
Tho bent tit of it is in our opinion great'y beyent

prdi^rre) -IU hands high, possess*d ol muscular pow*
er, bone, sinew, and points, rarely squalled; and be
lieved not to be surpassed by auy horse—a beau'iful
sorrel, will stand at
The season will commence the 1st M;r.h, and close
the 5th July. The moderate price of
If paid within the season dollars only will
be charged.
Besides the purity of his blcoJ, which will challenge
that ol auy horte iu America or Englsnd, lor he is de
scended from the purest English Arabian slock, with
out one alioy. He adds in a remarkable degree, the
qualities and best esreutials of the riding horsr—so sel
dom to be found iu the putcsi slock ot horses. 1 rode
this bo/se for five years in the practice of medicine, 3
years ol which was almost iuressaut riding—the best
pa t of the tune iu a gallop. 1 had no other horse in
u»* during that time, and was literally constant on his
back—he never once tailed during the h- at ot summer
nor the cold of winter, ho was always ready, and more
than caprble of riding any one man down.
Averaging one year at 30 miles per day, makes 10 -
860 miles per year. The three years together, m-lc-a
32,550 miles—the other two years out ol the five years
I rode hitu two-thirds of the year; which, at the same
rate, wouldjeave about 15,000, which added to 32 550,
makes 47,550 miles. He is now 14 years old, in fine
health and uncommon vigour. 1 took hint a> a riding
horse at aeveu—tbe other two remaining years out ol
tbe 14, I also rode not less than 5,000 miles in a year,
which will make it near 60,000 miles I must have rode
,n>» norss. 1 ms is almost Incredible: but those who
know the extent ol my riding in the time nk.ive na
med, will admit that the average of 30 utiles a day is
lull small. He is now stiffened, hut he looks as young
as a horse five years old—he has no splint on his legs,
and I doubt, whether a wind-gall. This astonishing
and almost unparalleled horae in performance, is one
of the finest foal getters in America; and when his
colts have bseu foaled and seen, there is no horse lhai
can or has rivalled him in public opinion. Numerous
cert ficates can be produced of this fact, but they are
deemed unnecessary. He bas never failed. Some days
I have rode him 10 miles, some 20, some 30, some 40,
some 50 and upwards—he has never failed one day’
nor been sick, (known tome) in the time.
It has never been in my power to attend to this
horse as he deserved. In fact, he has never rereived
more aiteniiou than the most careless servants were
willing to bestow upon him, often in the most neglect
ful manner. It is my serious opinion, backed by
others, it this horse had have been in the hands of me
who could have dons justice to him, he would now
have hem covering At from $20 to $30
It is now expected he will stand in Fluvanna, be
low the mouth ot Hardware River-— cross over to
Buckingham to the Diana Mills, from iheuce to the
foot of Witl.s’s—cross James River at Columbia, back
to Hardware again.

of Old Fearnaught in ibis horse, and he is *a d to re

Dcnr Sir—I regret that it is not in my power to be

humble e(T.rt- with 'hose ot our te ’ow-. i i*ens, who
w II be present, in advancing this s'ea\ and, at I be
lieve it, Heaven-directed causa. That " liberty and
learning lean on each other for support," is a truth
which bar long been known to the wi*r, and of which
we »re all becoming convinced, by f.-arlul sxpsri'iice.
It has be-n the ignorance of the people, which has so
long enelded tyrants to hold the world in cl ains ; and
they have nsver failed to burst them asunder, when
ever light has broken in strongly upm them. Hut, if
they are pennited (o relapse iuu ignorance and i s
natural a t.-ndant, grovelling vise, tyrants will ri-e
again, under the name of I’atriots, and we shall see tho
world re-phtnged in’o Go-hic darkness and derpotism.
It is not in the nt'ure of things, ihat a popular Gov
ernment can long -ub:ist, except among an * t,lidf,ltn
{ ad and virtuous pejj le ; nothing exe can shield them
I asainst the J-iltn’ ot wltlml at.d is triguing poli i
cians, who always vo.no in tl.o name and garb of pa
triotism, and calling them — lves trtends of ths peonlr,
cheat them to then rum. Kvery e/fort, (her- I re*, to

• very genuine triejd cf lib-r:y; and I bail, with un
aflfCled j ty, the ar'c r >vitn which this gr-at and phi
Innthropio plan hee been every whers received_
Viewed in a temporal and pahlie 1 light, mere'v, it de
serves the atromrosl support *r in all who wi i» ih„ can
timiance of our iree aud happy m*ti'utiot!8 at home

and who is tliero so poor and sotdid of spirit, as to think

this earth shall be inhabited by enlightened and virtu
ous freemen, erect and firm on the basis of indepen
dence, or by hordes ofipoorant, grov*II:ng and pros
trate slaver, hugging their chains, and licking th- dual
from the feet of their oppressors.
But, in connection with theie great temporal bene
fits, your society has a still higher and holiar aim_
spreading the light of tha Gr*pol, end rdvancing the
Kingdom of the Redeemer. In relation to the world
atlargs, I believe that public virtue has no.nlid basis,
but in Re'igion —I mean by public virtue, that which
impel* a man, in all his public acts, to look solely to >ho
good of his caun'.rv, without any view of personal ?g
grandiz-men*. I believe that the Fathers of our R v
olti'ion were, for the most part, such men. A groat
crisis called th*m out, end the common dangor, as well
as the common !■ pe, supplied a great motive of action
— whir It held lh*tn iog®th?r, aid dir*c ed their Halted
