REMARKS.
COTTON.—The receipts of new Cotton du
ring the past week, have been much lighter than
wo anticipated; and in consequence of the frequent
ami recent heavy rains, the quality of that now ar
riving will not rank over fair to good fair. The
staple, we are informed, is good, but it is deficient
in point of color and cleanliness. We have heard
of sales of the new crop, within the last two
at 17 cents per lb., the quality of which, we arc
told by experienced persons, was as good as any
yet received; but, it is thought that the grealo r
part of that now coming in would net command
over 16 a 16$. Very choice would probably sell
for 18 cts. per lb.

bale—to Charleston, Si.

JOSHUA PERRY, Ad’rar. exofficio.

TO THE
People of Columbia County .
AS a report has been circulated in this coun
ty, by malicious and designing persons, for
the purpose of injuring my character as a Prac
titioner in Medicine, and thereby preventing the
good people of this vicinity, especially those of
my immediate neighborhood, from favoring mo
with their palfongc—said report.purporting that
I killed or lost by mal-practicc, twenty persons
or a whole family, in a very short lime, on the
plantation of Thos. Merriwcthcr, deccasjd, du
ring my residence in South Carolina; 1 feel it a
duty incumbent on myself to assure my frends
and all whom it may concern, that such report
has no foundation whatever in truth. When I
have adduced the proof in support of my position,
I shall willingly trust the decision of my cause to
an indulgent and enlightened public. The only
time in my life that my professional services were
ever rendered on the plantation above named,
was in the Summer of 1832—and then I was
employed by Maj. Snoiien Griffin, he being
Executor of the Estate. Doct. J. S. Toole of
this county, was also in attendance with me. I
here give the certificates of these gentlemen, they
will speak for themselves :
Columbia County, Any. Qth, 1836.
Whereas it is reported in Columbia county,
that Doct. B. Aver killed all the family at the
plantation of Thos. Merriwcthcr. This is to
certify that when I was called upon the planta
tion, in the summer of 1832, there were about
thirty very sick, some had been the patients of
Doct. Aver, and were convalescent; the only
persons that died of those that he had in charge
before I came, were Thomas and Henry. Alter
this he attended with me on a Boy called Isham,
who declared to us that he had been poisoned by
another servant — he died. A negro woman also
died, but she was my patient. After this Doct.
Aver visited the plantation no more. A num
ber of negroes died in the Winter and Spring be
fore, but they were attended by Doct. Tennant.
The practice of Doct. Aver differs from mine in
some things, but I cannot say it is not a good
practice, when strictly attended to.
J. S. TOOLE.
Edgefield District, S. C.Ailg.lOlh, 1836.
As a report has been circulated in Columbia
county, Georgia, that Dr. B. Ayer killed a whole
family or twenty persons, on the plantation of
Thos. Merriwcthcr, deceased, in the Summer of
1832, this is to certify that though eighteen or
twenty persons did die on that plantation in the
space of about a year, yet at least six Physicians
in all were in attendance at sundry times, and
that only four died while Doct. Ayer attended,
and that too, in company with other Physicians.
SNODEN GRIFFIN,
Executor of tijc Estate of Thos. Merriwcthcr.
So much then, for the. truth and veracity of
the report in question—Doct. Toole expressly
slates that only two, Thomasand Henry, died that
I had the charge of, before he came to the planta
tion, and even one of those, bo it distinctly un
derstood, died about a week afterwards. I now
pronounce said report, or any other hearing the
least similarity to it, to be a most vile, malignant,
slander, falsehood, and lie, by whomsoever origi
nated or put into circulation. This I have in
conlrovcrtibly proved by men of th a first respec
tability, and well known to the public as such.
Many other reports, equally destitute of truth as
the above, have also been circulated relative to
my losing patients in this county. —In conclu
sion, I remark, it is truly astonishing that men,
making prclcnisons to the character of gentlemen
—especially those who have long since professed
to have “turned their hacks upon the world and all
its vanities,” and even professed to become the
meek and lowly followers of Him “ who takclh
away the sins of the world.” should lend their
aid to the dissemination of falsehoods of the
blackest die, with a zeal and perseverance wor
thy of a better cause—lending to ruin the pro
fessional character of a stranger in a strange land,
and one who never injured them.

#IOO REWARD.
m ABSCONDED nn
j the 10th June, 1834, from
the subscriber, a mulatto fel-
XPmf low named BEN, stout made,
ffltMg// / about five feet eight or nine
inches high, thirty-live years
old. He resembles and shows Indian blood, ns
his father was an Indian and his mother a dark
mulatto. The only visible marks, arc a scar across
the bridge of his nose, (when ho absconded, the
scar was quite black and had been so fur several |
years,) which was occasioned from his falling on
a pot; the other mark is a scar on one of his cars,
I am not certain which* but it is quite visible if
examined. He lets hi* strong black hair grow
long to hide it, and generally wears large whis
kers, and keeps a large chew of tobacco in his
mouth. The above reward will be paid to any
person who will deliver him to the subscriber, or
secure him in any Jail, that I may got him.
JOHN MULLIGAN,
Beaufort District, So, Ca.
P. S.—The above fellow BEN, most likely
passes for a free man, and is a jobbing Carpenter,
or ho was perhaps carried offand sold.
The Editor* of the Augusta Chronicle,and Mo
bile Mercantile Advertiser, are requested to insert
the above twice a week, for thres mjjnths, unless

“PLEASANT iOUT
FOR SJtjLE.
M'J'lte Subscriber offers for .
sale, the premises wbercon be now
lives, on Murder Creek, Jasper conn- -
ly, eight miles North of Monticello, 1
on the road leading to Madison, Morgan county,
containing seven hundred acres; three hundred 1
and fifty of which arc in a stale of cultivation,
and promises a reward worthy the attention of *
tire farmer.
The production of the lands on Murder Creek, '
hy those acquainted, are known to be equal, if *
not superior, to any in this fertile country. The |
improvements are good, and well constructed for
the convenience and accommodation of a large 1
family.
Attached to the premises arc two Grist Mills;
one appropriated to the grinding of wheat, and
the other corn ; both under one roof. Also, a
Saw Mill that cuts one hundred and twenty live
feet per hour. From the location of-tlicsc Mills,
much interest is secured ; there being a point of
rock sixty feci above, which defends them from I
the heavy and swift current at all times. It is
unnecessary to speak of their value, as those i
wishing to purchase such property are solicited to I
examine for themselves, or hy an agent. I
At the south end of the dam is erected a new I
two slorv Gin house, supplied with a new Gin of
seventy-five saws, propelled hy water. The seed I
Colton is deposited on the first floor, and con
veyed to the Gin on the second floor, through a
box, which enables one hand to attend said Gin
when ginning, with j of the labor when on the'
former plan. Near at hand stands a screw fo r I
packing Cotton ; this screw was cut "at the Fac- -
tory of Mr. Wilson, in Morgan county. The
performance of those screws are greatly admired (
for thsir great pressure, and quick operation ; ha
ving square threads which am preferable!,O tho V. .
thread. On the north side of the Crcc.t, near |
the Mills, stands a large and convenient Store .
Houses; the first story prepared with counters j
and shelves so merchandising, or storage; under- B
nealh is a good brick cellar—two hrick chimneys
and two fire places in each. The second slory is j,
adapted for Clerks, or an Agent. It is a good ,
stand for the purchasing of Cotton or mcrchan- c
disc. Convenient is one of the best springs in v
tins section, known for its purity for hundreds of
miles North and Smith of these Mills.
The DWELLING stands on a beautiful emi
nence on the South side of the Creek ; Iralf a
mile from the Mills, ami there is a well of excell
ent water iu the yard. The place has for sever
al years proven quite healthy, with a few excep
lions, from which no section is exempt. 1
Convenient to ibis resilience Is located Consti
tution Hall Academy, now in operation with a
full school. . ,
The stock of Hogs and Cattle, with the crop ti
of Corn, Fodder, Oats, farming implements, ond v
a set of Smiths’ tools, can be purchased with the
farm, if desired. ,£
N. B. The erection of a Cloth Factory, ad- t<
joining the Mills, would insure a Source of in- o:
come T as there is a convenient spot, ond a suffi-'
