The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore |
pal’iot writes —“1 can assure you. and 1 would not
ijoso butfrom personal knowledge, that the friends
of Mr. Van Buren hare -given up all hope of Iris
election. 1 care not a fig for their talk— I speak
of their real feelings and opinions. They have
I'iven him up, and the waiters on Biovidonce are
sedulously wooing the opposition.”
A Picture to Paint.—“ Represent me in my
portrait,” said a gentleman to his painter, “with
a book in my hand, and reading aloud. Paint
my servant also, in a corner where he cannot he
seen, but in such a manner that he may hear me
when I call him.”
This was probably the same individual, the
owner of a ferry, who once ordered at our office
some hand hills of his ferry, and desired us to
place at the head of the bill “a flat with a ferry
man in a moving posture, —ho. C. & Sent.
“ An Elegant Extract,” as the dcnlis tsaid when
he pulled out half of a jaw with a tooth.”
There is an excellent moral in the follow ing :
“John, letch me a pitcher ot water.” “Not my
business, sir.” -‘Right; harness the horses and
jrivc Stephen to the pump.”
OBIT TJ ART.
“Each moment has its sickle, and cuts down the
fairest bloom of sublunary bli-s.”
Died,at the family residence, in Athens, on the
]fUh of June, 1840, Mrs. Elizabeth Bolling, wife
cf Major Robert Taylor, oi that place, after a long,
protr*ted illness. On the following she was en
tombed'in the family vault, in the burying ground
at Madison, Morgan county. She was born in
Mclntosh county, Ga., cn the 2Gth day of March,
*IBOO, daughter of the late Win. Dclony, Esq. of
that- county, formerly of Virginia; from whose
(lineage, as also from her mother’s, Mrs. Taylor was
nearly allied to some of the o dest and mhst re
spectable families m that State. 1 uring an illness
of many months, her sufferings were often griev
ous, but always borne with patience and resigna
tion. She had no fears be} ond the grave, but was
comforted as though she had seen her “name en
rolled in the Book of Life.” She was of a most
noble and charitable soul, —her prayers frequent,
her reading much, —a great lo ver of truth and noble
actions. Obliging and free in Ml acts of favor,
and very unwilling to be in arrears to any on the
stock of courtesies and liberality. She was of an
honorable, nice and tender reputation ; though the
pleasures of this world were laid before her, she
took comparatively a small share. From early
life she was disposed to piety; for many years she
adorned a Christiun profession. Religion to her
“was like ihe breath of Heaven.” Blessed are
those who have part in the fir-t resurrection ; upon
them the second death can have no power. Her
way was regulated by a constant reference to those
celestial lights, whose truth no one can impeach,
and “whose laws are the law's of Eternity.” The
last days are tire best witnesses; here her faith
was most triumphant; she ha I so “Dimmed her
lamp,” as to have disarmed Death of all its terrors ;
in her words, all “was peace.”
“Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are.”
Her person was stately, her features symmetry
itself; she had an easy elegance andgiace in all
her actions and gestures, —a countenance radiant
wkh smiles, —a fine poetic imagination, wit, gen
iu®—a highly cultivated taste, saintly piety, and a
warm zeal in all good works; combining a form
and character almost perfect. It has been the lot
of but few* to inspire such general respect, vener
ation, and affection as she did. She shone to every
body but herself; but the perfectness and prudence
gfher excellent parts could not be hid, and all her
humility and acts of concealment made the virtues
more amiable and illustrious. To dwell upon the
£harilies of her heart, the sweetness of her dispo
sition, the amenity and simplicity of her manners,
or the delights of her conversation, would appeal
superfluous, 'j| these feelings, on a short acquaint
ance, were lost in a still deeper feeling of affection
and love. As a friend, she was warm and devoted,
in the relations of daughter and sister, she was
indeed dutiful and affectionate. If \9e look on her
as a wife, she was an example to all, loving, de
votedly confiding, and ten icily solicitous. She
had a love so great for her husband, so entirely
given up to that warm, burning affection, that she
breathed in his soul, lived in his presence, lan
guisl ed in his absence, and all that she was, or did
would seem as directed to the peace and happiness
of him whom she styled- her • precious husband.”
As shcJkas a rare wife, so she was an affectionate
and exaellent mother. Possessing >o tender a co.i
stitution of spirit, and so much kindness towards
her children, her government was mild, sedulously
attentive to their temporal, but still more devoted
in regard to their eternal welfare. Her prudence
in their management was singular and rare ; so
that if the reader desires to bless her family, let
him beg of God that they may have those excellent
things which she designed for them in her heart
and asked for them in her prayers.
Inkier mmse she was the life and delight of all,
a comfort to her husband, a guide to her
a rule to her servants, an example to all.
“She lived as I fain would live, and died as I fain
(would die.”
“Make tho extended skies your tomb.
Let stars record your worth.”

have no fears of the result,” even in Georgia. —

A CARD. —In crossing the Savannah river in
the ferry boat from Hamburg to Augusta,on Satur
day afternoon. May 30, I threw (by permission)
m v blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with his wife and a small
was crossing at the same time. The wife
kue's of the fact, for it was to her I addressed
myself. When I arrived at the landing, I came off .
leavftig my cloak, which was carried off by the
individuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not,
told me they were moving from South Carolina to ;
the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any <
kind friend could give me the clue to their names, 1
oi the place to which they were travelling, so that i
I may obtain my valuable cloak, he would confer i
a favor upon one who at times is too forgetful for \
his own interest. JAMES SEWELL,

ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY.
fBNtIE Trustees of this institution are-happy to
j have it in their power to state, that both the
principal Academy in Augusta, and the branch at
Summerville, have resumed their exercises, under
the management of Teachers who have the full
confidence of the Trustees, and who, they are sa
tisfied, are fully entitled to that of the public.
Mr. Ernenputsch, the Rector of the Academy,
already favorably known to the community, has
charge of the Classical department and all the
branches of education requisite for admission to
our best Colleges. His attainments as a scholar
and success in imparting useful knowledge, emi
nently qualify him for the discharge of the im
portant duties of his station.
Mr. Ring, the principal English Teacher, re
cently engaged by the Board, comes with the high
est recommenda ions as to character, talents, lite
ral/ attainments and skill in teaching, and the
Tro decs feel assured that he will sustain the re
putation which led to his selection.
The branch of the Academy at Summerville is
under the immediate management of Mr. Frank
lin George, a gentleman of experience in teach
ing, and highly recommended. The advantage of
the location of this branch of the Academy in one
of the most healthful nei, ’ h orhoods in the State,
and sufficiently remote from the unfavorable in
fluence of a crowded town, are too well known to
need comment.
On the whole, the Board confidently recommend
to the public Hie principal Academy and the Branch
at Summerville, as being on a bettor footing than
they have heretofore been, and promising great
usefulness to those who may avail themselves of
ihe advantages which they offer.

MOFFAT'S VEGETABLE LIFE MEuTcTn To
fSAHESE medicines are indebted for their n me
A to thi ir manifest and sensible action in pu.i
fying the spring and channels ot life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun
dred certified cases which has been made public,
and in almost ever} species ol disease to which
tHe human frame is liable, the liappv effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PIIENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac-
Inowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
wore previously unacquainted with tho beautilully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they consequently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals ot the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities constantly settling around them; and to
remove the hardened fasces which collect
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Oilier
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al coslivencss with ell its train ofevils. or in a sud
den d nrrhoea, with its eminent dangers. 'Phis tact
is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and henae
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines—cr medicines prepared and hor
laded to the public by ignorant pc rsons. Ihe se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and ihe lungs before it
passe 0 into IHe heart, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely through the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation ol
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gonr, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
lion, Scur\}, Ulcers, Inveterate S’ores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas,-Common
Colds and influenza, aud various other complaints
which afflict the huniar; frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
must eminently successful; so niuth so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versa!ly prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions. It is not by a news
paper nonce, orany thbg that he himself may say
in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is
alone by the re.suL of a lair trial.

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 marc;
Die sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolet. 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 any horse in the United States.—
He.was a racehorse oi the first order, but I tear
will never be able to make a first rate race again, I
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
oid, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee.you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” 'fhe same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —Highland Mary
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, caHed Big Ben or Charlemaine,
(son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand
dam O’Possum by imported Shari:; great-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; gveat-great
great-great-grand-dam by imported Feamaught;
great-great-great-great-great-giand-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 Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pedegree!—
