HERMITAGE EXTRACT.—This lately in

acquired a just popularity, not only by reason of
the strength and delicacy, but of the extraordina
ry duration of its perfume. Whilst the strength of
many otherextracts and essences is almost as eva
nescent as the bloom of the flowers from which
they are derived, the Hermitage retains its fra
grance for an in efinite length of time, and is
scarce to be removed from thegarmonton which it
is poured, by washing; hence it is probably the
cheapest and most delightful perfume of our labora

ffllHE UNDERSIGNED, having engaged the as-

ed by Ist July next, to take charge of the Educa
tion of a limited number of Boys. His residence is
near Clarksville, Geo.
In assuming the responsibilities of a Teacher, it
is his intention to have the best professional aid to
be procured. The situation of the proposed Semi
nary in the heart of the South—in a region which
for the purity of its atmosphere and magnificence
ol its sceneiy, has oecome a favorite abode for the
wealthy and refined; the determination of the
Principal to make every effort to establish at home
an institution where a well grounded and liberal
education may' be obtained, while the virtues of
the southern character will be cherished, and the
contamination of principles which tend to under
mine our social fabric be avoided, will, he trusts,
secure for him the support of Southern Parents,
sustained by them, he hopes to elevate his institu
tion to a level with the best in the Union
Tne instruction of the School will embrace the
primary branches of a p!ain English Education, the
various departments of the Natural and Mathemati
cal Sicnces, the Classics, the Hebrew, German and
French Languages, Drawing and Topography. It
will be the object of the Principal to combine with
the acquisition of useful knowledge and the devel
opement of the intellect, the literary tastes and
moral feelings to elevation of cnaracter
and the practical habits necessary for active life—
in other words, to unite as much as possible the
advantages of a domestic and public School Edu
cation.
Applicants for admission must be between ten
and sixteen years of age.
Terms—s-250 per annum, payable semi-annually
in advance, to include instruction in the above

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD^
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, residing in
Thomas county,Geo. about the 15th January
last, a negro man named Daniel, about sixty yeais
of age, though he does not appear to be more than
forty, a little gray and inclined to be bald, upwards
of live feet high, and has lost a linger from one
hand, I think the right. He has a wife at Mr. E.
Reeds, Columbia county, and may be miking about
there. It is probable lie has been enticed away by
some white man, and have gone to Savannah or
Alabama; if so, 1 will give the above icward for
the detection of the white man and prod’ to con
viction, or I will pay twenty-live cents for the ar

PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows :— ‘ Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
trie sire of Highland Mary was old PacoleC Tom
Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as
good a stock as any horse in the United States.—
He was a race horse of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
aid, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
py Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —“ Highland Mary
combined as many or more rich crosses of tborougn
breds than any mare ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Kosey Carey by Sir
Archie ; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
(son of O’Kelle; ’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangier; great-great-grand
dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
great-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught;
. great-great-great-great-great-grand dam by Lee’s
old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
’ to trace beyond Blr Archie. It is presumed none
wifi require a purer or better attestel pedegree!
If farther recommendation be wanted, call and see

NOTICE TO delinquents. ■
I AM instructed by the Colonel to pub ish the
following extract from the Militia i aws of
this Slate now of force, for the information of ail
those against whom executions have been issued,
and are now outstanding,—and add that“ ignorance
of the law excuseth no man .”
Piince’s Digest, pp. GO4, Sec. 24, latter clause :
—-‘And the commanding officer of Regiments or
Battalions, upon receiving the affidavit of any de
linquent, ("previous to the issuing of execution.j
properly attested by any officer authorized to ad
minister the same, and showing good cause why he
should not ! ave been fined, may direct the Clerk to
stay the issuing of Execution until the sitting of
the succeeding Court, when said affidavit shad be
laid before the Court, who may, upon the merits
thereof, remit or continue said fine, and direct that
it be collected forthwith.
“And the Clerk shall immediately after the ex
piration of thirty days, (that is, after the sitting
of the Court) issue executions against each de
linquent who has failed to pay ihe fine assessed
against him, or to file the affidavit hereinbefore re
quired, signed by himself and countersigned by|the
presiding officer of the Court, or in his absence by
any other officer who was a member of the Couit,
and directed to the Provost Marshal of the Regi
ment. * * Who shall proceed to collect tiie
same under the same rules and regulations in re
gard to Constables’Sales generally; and sucli ex
ecutions shall have the same dignity as though they
had been issued by a Justice of the Peace.” * * *
It frequently so happens that individuals (de
faulters) neglect to attenl Courts of Inquiry, to
render in their excuse J or absence from parade ;
they also neglect to file with the Clerk their affi
davit, according to law. And yet, when the col
lecting officer calls on them to settle their tines,
they plead some trifling excuse.
Now, this is to notify all such, that a 'ter the ex
piration jf 30 days after the sitting of any Court
of lnquiry.no excuse can be rendered, nor will any
be accepted, unless made according to the requisi
tions of the law as above published. lam also
instructed to state that J. H. Clarke, Esq. has been
appointed Provost Marshal of the Regiment. Ex
ecutions have been placed in his hands, with in
structions to enforce the law rigidly-

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE

lying the spring and channels ol life, and enduing

dred certified cases which lias been made public,
and in almost every sper ea of disease to which

-1 I novvledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
* were previously unacquainted wuh the beau ilully
1 philosophical principles upon which they are
> compoun Jed, and upon which they e„nsequeiilly
1 act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and description. Their
- first operaiion is to loosen from the coats of the
• stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
• crudities eon tamly settling around them ; ana to
• remove the hardened faeces which collect in the
. convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
m-dicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected mav-ea behind as to produce habitu
al cosliveness with li its train ofevils. or in a sud
; den diarrhoea, with its eminent Jangers. This tact
. is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
, amine the human bowels after death ; and hen?e
tho prejudii e of those well informed men against
quark medicines—or medicinrs prepared and her
alded to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. The se
| cond effect of the Tile Medicines is to cleanse the
f kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
r liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
I entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
, organs. '1 he blocd, w hich lakes its red color from

most eminently successful; so much so ihat in the
Fever and Ague disincls. Physicians almost uni
versally prescr.be them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of hi* patient is
to be | articular in taking the Life Me licin* s strictly
according ro the direr tions. it is not by a news
paper notice, or any ihirg that he himself may say
in their favo', that he hopes to gain credit, it is
alone by the resul of a fair trial.
