Cotton Crop. —The Nashville Whig of ,j, e sih inst. says:—The growing crops of Cotton iiJ Tobacco, we are told look well, though some 3 prehension is felt that Cotton will mature, un usually late, owing to the heavy rains this sum mer.

Plan ers on Red River will realize an increase of 20 or 25 per cent, over last years yield. A corres pondent at Mobile wrilesjo us that the Cotton crop ot S.

THE n elp O K I?I EK . SECOND PROSPECTUS, The unparalleled success with which our enter prise has met, has induced us to increase our ex ertions in the good cause. In order, therefore, to induce our friends to form clubs for the promotion ot the cause, we shall, after the first of August, reduce the price to FIFTY CENTS a copy, or two copies for ONE DOLLAR. Those, therefore, w T ho desire to have their names enrolled on our list should have them here in time. Let our friends be vigilant and active, and our success is certain. All the people want is light, an d if we have a corresponding effort on the part outlie friends of Reform, they shall have light. Dr. WM. FLINT, member f the Massa chusetts Medical Society, would inform his friends that he has removed his place of residence to the hoarding-house of Mrs. Camfield, at the coiner of Jackson and Broad streets, where he may be found at all hours during the summer season.

They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of experiment, and now stand before the public as high in reputation, and as extensively employed in all parts of the United States, the Can adas, Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering man. They have been introduced wherever it was found possible to carry them ; and there are but few towns that do not contain some remarkable evidences of their good effects. The certificates that have been presented to the proprie tor exceed twenty thousand ! upwards of five hun dred ol which are from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this medicine been the subject of editorial comment in vatious newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no me licine of the kind has ever received testimonials of gr. ater xalue than are at tached to this. They are in general use as a family medicine, and there arc thousands of families who declare they are never satisfied unless they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Bilious Fevers, F’ever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Headache, J mndice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles,.Cholic, F’ernale Obstructions, Heartburn, Fur red Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoe, Flatulence, Habit ual Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Cumplexi m, and in all cases of Torpor of the Bowels, where a cathartic or an aperient is needed. They are exceedingly mild in their opera tion, producing neither nausea, griping nor debility. The efficacy ot these pills is so well known, and their use so general, that further comment is con sidered unnecessary. For further particulars, see Dr. Peters’ pamphlet, which can be had gratis of any ot the Agems. WE would call attention to the advertisement in* our columns to-day, of PETERS’ VEGFI TABLE PILLS. We understand by the best mod ical authority, that there is no preparation of the day which enjoys so enviable a reputation. At tlie South ami North, iht-ir success has been unbounded, and wherever introduced we believe they have given the frost perfect satisfaction. We have this day had an interview with one of our citizens, 11. K. Fox, w ho was recently cured of a most remark able and obstinate cutaneous eruption, where I lie body was covered with fulsome ulcers, and even the tonsils of the throat eaten away—and Dy using these PILLS daily for six weeks, was entirely re stored to health.— New York Examiner. PETERS’ VEGETABLE PILLS. They do indeed restore the health of the body, because they purify and invigorate the blood, and I licit good effects are not counterbalanced by any inconvenience ; being composed entirely of vegeta bles, they do not expose those who use them to danger, and th.hr effects are ascertain as they are salutary; they are daily and safely administered to infancy, youth, manhood and old age, and to wo men in the most critical and delicate circumstances, they do nut disturb or shock the animal functions, but restore their order and re establish their health; nd for all the purposes which a veg?table purga live, or certain cleanser of the whole system are re quired, they stand without, a.rival—they are allow ed to be all that can be accomplished in medicine, both for power and innocence. &C?

The proprietor has received at least a thousand cert fi cales and other documents in favor of his SPECI FIC OINTMENT —and they embrace almost all the complaints in their worst stages—to which ointment or slicking can be applied Among these certificates, there are a great number from the most eminent physicians in the country, who use the Ointment in their daily practice, in preference to any, or all others which have ever been invented. The proprietor has also received a great many tes timonials from farriers, militar/gentlemen, farmers, and others, relative to the amazing efficacy of his Ointment, in the bruises, cuts, and all the external complaints and diseases of horses; and among them are no less than a dozen certifying to the most per fect cures which it has performed on the sore backs of some of those animals. Altogether the proprietor feels no hesitation in stating—or in put ting it to the proof against all composition—that HARRISON’S SPECIFIC OINTMENT is vastly superior to every thing of the kind which has here toture been offereuto the public; and the proprietor nut only vouches for its general good qualities, but is willing to risk his reputation on a single trial , for he knows from the mos ample experience, that it cannot be used without immediate and palpable benefit, in any one of the complaints for which it is so highly recommended.
