Chill and Fever Mixture.
O F all the remedies ever discovered for the safe
certain and effectual cure of the Chill and Ff-
ver, nunc have more merited and received the appro
bation nf the public than
Dcnw’s Fever a aid Ague I»Iixltire.
It lias been in use for the last twelve years, and
’lie Proprietor has never known a single instance
"'line this Mixture lias failed to cure the Chill am
Fever, where it has been used according to the ad
vice ami directions accoin|ianying it. One bottle of
tliii Mixture is generally sufficient to cure two corn-
m .u cases of Chill and Fever. It is a source of
great consolation to the Proprietor tlmt he has been
•Me to place so valuable a medicine before the pub-
I'Cttsuch a low price; for while others have been
filing their Pills and Mixtures at the high price of
$1 5b per box or bottle, this Mixture Iras been sell
ing n only §1 per bottle, being a large saving to the
purchaser besides ilu^mportant consideration of pro
curing a better medWne. The public are mas* pos
itively n^ured that there is no Mercury, Antimony,
Arsenic, or any other poisonous substances, in any
►tape or (mm whatever in this Mixture, but it is
composed entirely of simple but potent substances
e *Mi of which is calculated to assist the others in
expelling diseases from the system.
The Proprietor will insert the following tefttiino-
bi&U,which will proveto the satisfaction of every
reasonable mind that DENSE’S MIXTURE never
H-ls to cure the Chills when taken according to the
directions that accompany each bottle.
The undersigned citizens cheerfully bear testimo

within our own personal knowledge, in which this
mixture was only used.

The Silver Bullet;
STORY OF X REVOLUTIONARY SPY, • ^ .
In I bo summer and autumn of 1777, while Sir
William Howe, with a fleet and part of the royal ar
my, was lying at New York, Gen. .Burgoyne, with
hU army, were advancing* from Canada to Albany.
The object and design of the enemy was to possess
themselves of Lake Champlain, with the whole of
the Hudson, and thereby to cut off aH intercourse
and communication between the Eastern and South
ern States. For the purpose of watching the mo
tions and annoying the operations of the hostile ar
mies, General Washington had hired small bodies
of troops to be placed at FfehkiU, Red, Hook, Green-
bush, and several other places on the east side of the
river between Albany and New York, with strict
orders to take up and examine all strangers travel
ing up and down the river, either by land or water,
and if detected in espionage or employed in commu
nicating information between the British armies, to
be punished according to the rules of war.
About the 1 st of September, a pedestrain passing
northwardly was hailed and stopped by a sentinel of
the guard placed at Red Hook, and commanded by
Captain John Mansfield, of Connecticut. The man
was about thirty years of age, and clothed in the
habit of a farmer. He was conducted to the guard
house ; Capt. Mansfield inquired of him his name,
the place of his residence, as well as that to'which
he was going, his business there, Sic.
He replied by giving a name, and stated, that lie
belonged to a place above Red Hook, and was a far
mer, that he was now on Iris way to tho next town
above, with a vietv to purchase a pair of oxen from
a farmer of his acquaintance.
He was asked whether he bad about him any let
ter or communication from Lord Howe or any other
British officer at Ntw York, addressed to Gen. Bur-
goyne or any other officer in the army, to which lie
promptly answered in the negative.
Capt. M. then told him that such were the orders
of his superior officer that it became his duly to
search the person of every traveler under similar cir
cumstances, to which he replied he had no objections
to being searched. Canf. M. then directed two or
three of the guard to take off his coat and examine
the pockets, folds, liuing, and every other part criti
cally. While this was doing, one* of the guard ob
served the prisoner to pass his hand with a quick
motion from his vest pocket to his mouth.
The search, however, continued, and was finish
ed without any discovery which would justify the
further detensions of the prisoner. Capt. M. was
J then informed of the suspicious circumstances no-
i, ticed by tlie guard. What was now to be done ?—
H' Strong suspicion had attached itself to the stranger,
^ . it no positive proof, had yet appeared against him.
An expedient soon suggested itself to the ready
thoughts of our Yankee Captain'. He observed to
the prisoner, “we have detained you on your journey
for some length of lime, and. subjected you to a pret
ty strict examination. I feel bound by the rules of
civility to treat you to a bowl of toddy before you
proceed on, and if yon will drink with us you shall
be made welcome.” The man was pleased with the
invitation and readily agreed to accept it. The
Captain took upon himself the office of bar keeper,
aqd soon prepared the toddy. To make it genuine,
and to answer the purpose for which he wanted it,
he stirred in a good dorse of emetic tarter. Our
stranger being ilrirsty and somewhat fatigued by
traveling, drunk very freely of the beverage, while
the Captain and others present barely tasted aud
passed it round.
A free conversation soon commenced between
the* stranger and Iris new acquaintances. He inquir-
man Witt ever exempt. It is twined around the very
soul; it is incorporated in our verv nature, andwill
cling to os even when reason itself has passed away.
And although'the period when parental enthralment
is broken, and when the law acknowledges the in
tellect to be full-grown, may at the time he consid
ered one of rejoicing, yet after-life will hang around
it the emblems of sorrow, while it ia as the.hallowed
last bright hour of happy youth.
Maxims of Washington. ** *■ _■
We append below a few of WasraifOToK’a
“Practical Maxims for the government-of conduct
in Society” ia the hope that they may interest,
a* well as ^rove useful to many young men among

1. Every action in company ought to be with
some sign of respect to those present.
2. In the presence of others, ting not to yourself
with humming noise, nor drum with your fingers
or feet.
3. Speak not when others speak, ait not when
others stand, widk not when others stop.
4. Turn not your back to others, especially in
speaking; jog not the table or desk on which an
other reads or writes; lean not on any one.
5. Be no flatterer, neither play with any one
that delights not to be played with

The Beautiful. *
The beautiful, the beautifdl!
• Where do we find it not ?
It is an all pervading grace,
And lightelh every spot.
It sparkles on the ocean wave—
It glitters in the dew ;
We see it in the glorious sky,
And in the flow’rets hue.
On mountain-lop, in valley deep,
We find its presence there;
The beautiful, the beautiful!
It livelh everywhere.

If when Walker first dared to depart from
the principles of that sacred act, the Democracy
of Georgia had failed to meet the emergency
by denouncing him; if they had waited to hear
from the Administration before insisting uppA
his recall; the people of the State would have
been jnstified in deserting their candidates.—
But now that they standed committed to dead
ly opposition to Walker, and to the administra
tion which appointed hiai if his policy is sane-
lioned, it will bring irretrievable disgrace upon*
the State, and lead to the moat fatal consequen
ces, if the candidates of the Democratic party
are defeated. Tt would be tantamount to a-fe*
pudiation of the 3d resolution of the MiHedge-

Enclosed in this fatal bullet was found a letter on
sheet of silk paper, signed by Lord Howe, address
ed to General Burgnyne, giving information respect
ing tbe situation of royal fleet and army at New
York, and requesting advice frpm the General by the
bearer, what progress he was making with the army
under his command towards Albany, at which place
he hoped soon to meet him. The bearer, of course,
was continued in custody, and a court marshal spee
dily formed, by whom, on the clearest evidence of
guilt, the unfortunate prisoner was couvicted sen
tenced and executed.
“One aud Twenty,”
With youth no period is looked forward to with so
much impatience, as the hour which shall end our
minority—with manhood none is looked back to with
so muen regret. Freedom appears to a young man
like a bright star in the fermament of his existence,
andis never 1-st sight of until the goal for which he
has so long been travelling is reached. When the
mind and the spirit are young, the season of man
hood is reflected with a brightness from the future,
which nothing can diin but its cold reality. The bu
sy world ia stretched out before our boyhood like the
Dougherty County Lands for

It will thus he seen that the issue on the
State-Road dwindles down to u mere question
of time. The American party are in favor of
to it. In him even fame, glory, reputation, wore
subordinate considerations to tfie successful *
performance of the high task aligned him,arid
he could without impatience wait for tbitfp-^ •
ward of public applause v and-gratitude* whtcfc
was all he desired for services beyond tho v pi5iw^
er of estimate.
In his character was renewed all the quali
ties we most admire in the noblest names of
antixulty—Timoleon, Aristides; Catnilos, Fabl
es, did not surpass him in fortitude, prudence/
disinterestedness and integrity. No one ever:”
more effectually united decisive firmness with
that lenity which flows from true benevolence^ „
No one ever passed through the ordeal ©f|>ow- ’
er and influence more free from the readiest:
suspicion of selfish and ambitious designs.
To have passed unsullied through such a cs-. r
reer of glory aud usefulness ia so high and rare
a blessing that regret for his loss will probably
in those minds, wanned by a sense of exalted
virtues, be sunk in the satisfaction of seeing an-

the Missouri Restriction, and for the passage of
the Nebraeka-Kansns act. Upon these issues,
the country passed judgment at the recent Pres

that during my stay at the commencement;** ^
Athens, there was a caucus of the Southern
Rights, and of the Union or Cobb wing of the*:'
Democratic party, as he called it, life object of * ^
which was to settle upon tiie policy on which^k
the canvass should be conducted on my part
relative to cenain questions ho had propounded .
to me at.Newnan, Carrollton, and othery*lace8L r
and that there was a division of sontiment as to
whether I should answer the question, end that
the noncommittal policy was finally determined /
on, as he was informed by a gentleman' Who
in office. Well, admit the charge, for sake of
argument. What then ? Shall southern pa
triots abandon tbe policy of non-intervention,
embodied in the Nebraska Kansas act, be
cause the administration has betrayed the trust
confided to it? We answer—never, no never.
Tbe last hope ofthe South in theCnjon is in
an unfaltering adhesion to the principles of the
Kansas act. Give up that act, and northern
fanaticism will glut its insane ravenings upon
southern interest and institutions by means of
Congressional intervention with the subject of
slavery in States and Territories, and finally
abolitionize*the South, or drive her out of the
Union. Tbe principles of the Nebraeka-Kan-
sas Act are a sure, and tbo only barrier against
the inroads of the fanatics. The South must
cling to it as the sheet anchor of h?r salvation
in the Union. In a very few years the North
will preponderate.in both House* of Congress
and tbe Electoral College. Concede the pow*:
to Congress to legislate upon slavery in the
roeut a falsehood; I care not by whom it ya '
made. • . .• 1 .
During my stay at Athens, friends who had.
formerly belonged to both wings of tbe party, ,
were frequently in my room, and frequently
spoke about the manner of conducting the^okn-i .
vass. But no caucus or consultation was held'
in my presence or within my knowledge^for tho.
purpose of determining whether I should answer
questions propounded by Mr. Hill or any quo
else, and no one advised me not to answer ; and :
1 heard of no division of senlimenk as to the
propriety of my answering Mr. Hill’s questions, #
or aqy .other questions that might be propound*/
ed to me. J have- answered his questions ag^m
and again in niy speeches, not at all times by a
simple yes or no, but in snch away as td make *
known my sentiments fully, as to tho subject
matter of the question propounded. No ope
who has heard me, can have any difficulty in-
reference to my posjtjon.. I have no conceal- .
mehta; I have not only answered Mr. Hill**
Territories, and it will as surely he exercised to'question?,but ail questions propounded by oth--
oor injury as that the-sun will rise on the mor.
row., Everything depends on the sturdy main
tenance of the principles of Nebraska-Kansas
Act. Now what party ia^pledged to the main
tenance of these principles J Clearly the Dem
ocratic party and that alone. The Black Re
publican party rose in. opposition to this act,
and lives upon th? excitement engendered by it
by it in the northern mind. Tho American
patty regarded it as tho work of political trick
sters—the lbfttdoras box—unwise and impolitic
Legislation, and cannot therefore be relied on
to rebuke.an administration which they allege
baa proven unfaithful to the principles embodied
in it. * ; . . : v : .
If, therefore, the people of Georgia intend to
preserve intact:tbe principle Congressional
and Federal non-intervention wifb slavery, they
must and will give votes to^be candidates
of the Democratic party; which is* responsible
