JAYNE’S EXPECTORANT alwayTcures Asth
ma. —two or three lagre doses will cure the Croup
or Hives of children in from 15 minutes to one
hour’s time. It immediately subdues the violence
of whooping cough, and effects a speedy cure.—
Hundreds who have been given up by their phy
sicians as incurable, with Consumption, Spitting of
Blood, and other Pulmonary Affections, have
been restored to pefecl health by it. It never
fails in giving relief.

A Pact Worth Knowing.
A gentleman of Scrofulous habits, from indis
cretion in his younger days, became affected with
Ulcerations of the Throat and Nose, and a disa
greeable and troublesome eruption of the skin.—
Indeed, his whole system bore the marks of being
saturated with disease One hand and wrist were
so much affected that he had lost the use of the
hand, every part being covered with deep, painful,
and offensive ulcers, and were as hollow and porous
as a honey-comb. It was at this stage of his com
plaint, when death appeared inevitable from a
loathosome disease, that he commenced the use of
Jayne’s Alterative, and having taken sixteen
bottles, is PERFECTLY CURED.
This Alterative operates through the circu
lation, and purifies the Blood and eradicates dis
eases from the system, wherever located, and the
numerous cures it has performed in diseases of the
Skin, Cancer, Scrofula, Goitre, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, and other Chronic diseases, is truly
astonishing.

Market. August 25.
COTTON.—We have another quiet market to
report this week. Our last review left it without
animation, buyers and sellers both aiutkmsly await
ing the steamers a-c counts of the 4th inst. A tele
graphic despatch giving an outline of her advices,
came to hand on Saturday evening, hut the letters
were not received until Monday night. These ad
vices although they show no actual decline in the
Liverpool market, have given a still dnHer tone to
our market, a further advance in the Liverpool
market having been expected, and since their re
ceipt, we have not heard of a solitary transaction,
buyers demanding a concession on the psH of hold
ers of fully cent froni the highest prices paid with
in the past twO WePks, at which they refuse to sell,
although some few holders ate billing to submit to
a reduction of a£of a cent. In this state our mar
ket closed last evening, with little or no Cotton of
fering. The sales haVe been so trilling this week
that they are not worth reporting, and we do not
look for any change until we receive further Euro
pean intelligence, as nearly all the Cottou on the
market for sale is held under limits, from which
holders show no disposition to recede. Up to this
time none of the new crop has made its appearance
in this market.
Since we closed our enquiries, we understand a i
planter’s lot, of 181 bales, an average of good mid
dling, has been sold at 11J cents, which is £to §c.
less than the same description of Cotton sold for a
week or ten days ago.

GROCERIES. —The grocery market has been
quiet this week. Our merchants are busy receiv
ing and opening their fall supplies and will have
large and well selected stocks to offer when busi
ness opens.
CORN.—The receipts continue light, and the
few sales made this week have been at 60c. per
bushel in bulk, and 55 in sacks.
FLOUR.—Good Country Flour very scarce and
much enquired after—a lot would readily bring $6

boxes.) will run from TEN to FIFTEEN DAYS
perfectly free r rom heat, with one oiling with Lard
a’d Tallow. Pure lasers may test a Gin by pick
ing ten bales of cott >n with it. and ii it does not
please, may return it. My prices are Two Dollars
and Fifty Cents per saw for the FIRE-PROOF

the ANTI-FRICTI ->N. delivered at the residence
of the purchas r. A Fire-Proof Gin may be seen
at the warehouse of Andres, Spears Sc Wootten,

OLD GINS repaired at the shortest notice.
THOMAS WYNNE.
CERTIFICATES:
Augusta , August 5, 1847.—We, the undersigned,
having examined a sample of Cotton said to be gin
ned by Mr. Thomas Wynne's Fire-Proof Cotton
Gins, consider it as well ginned as any cotton we
have seen in this market, and with a longer staple.
We have also examined the Oil and Water Boxes,
and think them a great improvement, as the oil acts
and re-acts while running, which will keep them
free from heat, if well used.

Henry T. Hammock, IF. W. Finch,
U m. S. Smith, ] Jas. C. Adams,
Warren county, Feh. 3th, 1847, —I do hereby cer
tify that I bought a4l saw Improved Cotton Gin
from Thos. Wynne. I have ginned from eight
hundred to one thousand pounds of clean cotton per
day, and I would recommend all persons in want of
a first-rate Gin to purchase of said Wynne. I got
the highest market prices in Augusta.
Nathaniel Persons.
Warren county, Feb. 3th, 1847.—1 do hereby certi"
fy that I have one of Mr. Thomas Wynne’s Anti-
Friction Cotton Gins, 51 saws. I have ginned three
heavy bales per day. I have ginned three crops
with it, and think it better this last than the first
crop—taking out the moats and freeing the cotton
from nap. 1 have always been able to get the
highest price in the Augusta market. I recom
mend persons who want to purchase a first-rate
Gin. to call on Mr. Wynne before they purchase, as
I think they will be well pleased with the said
Wynne’s Gins when tried.
Thomas Persons.
Wilkes county, March 21, 1847.—1 certify that I
purchased last year a Cotton Gin of Thos. Wynne,
of Columbia county, and ginned my iaat crop of
cotton with it, and 1 can say that it is as good as the
best Gin I ever used. My cotton last year was
worse managed than it has been for many years
firevious, owing to my plantation being a distance
rom where I live, and that attention was not paid
to the cotton that should have been. Notwithstand
ing, ray cotton when carried to Augusta was sought
for by all the cotton buyers, owing to the neatness
of the cotton and freedom from nap and moats. 1
believe there is no gins in the State from which
a better sample of cotton can be shown, Carver
Gins not excepted.
