Southern Railroad Association.
This Association, composed of the
officers of all the Southern railroads, has
been convened by its President, R. R.
Cuyler, Esq., of Savannah, to meet at
Ashland, (Slash Cottage,) on Tuesday,
Bth July next.
The objects of the meeting are to
regulate the business relations of the
Southern Roads, and combine them in
one complete system.
As the Association is composed of in
telligent gentlemen engaged in the con
sistent support of Southern interests, we
may expect from their meetings some
thing more than a mere arrangement of
freights, fares, guages and schedules.
We may expect a development of
railroad commerce, and the recommen
dation of a concerted plan of Southern
improvements worthy consideration and
■»d pted by the Legislatures of the South
ern States. Reciprocally interested, as
all railroads in the same section must be,
sue may expect that the stronger shall
aid the weaker, at least by recommenda
tion to capitalists and commercial cities.
The Ri hmond and Danville Railroad
should be extended to a connection with
the Georgia roads. The Virginia and
Tennessee Road should extend' its aid
and countenance to the incomplete sec
tion of the Great Southwestern Railroad,
terminating for the present at Memphis,
but destined to be connected with Mo
bile, Savaunak, and New Orleans. The
Oentral Road should be pushed into
Kentucky and into Southern Ohio.
But, above all, the Assot iation should
recommend to the Southern States the
connection of a common trunk, by way
El Paso, to the Pacific Ocean. This im
portant work will developc a home mar
ket, a field of internal commerce, and a
current of travel intercourse, in which
every part of the South will participate.
It is not, however, for us to trace the
jihjsical or political consequences which
will follow its completion. We would,
however, remind our fellow citiz.-ns, that
-as the immediate vicinity of our city
has been selected as the place for bold-
Jng this Convention, it will att'ord an ex
-cclleut opportunity for imp.essiug upon
it the common interest of the Southern
cities, ns well as for displaying their pro
verbial hospitality towards the intelli
gent genllcin n who are expected to as

Rdv Dr. Crawford.
From the following extract from a
letter to the Nashville llanner, it will be
seen that Dr. Crawford, thePresideut of
Mercer University, has accepted an ap
pointment in Tennessee. His removal
will be a serious loss to his denomina
tion in Georgia.
“ Since I have been here I have met
with my friend and old acquaintance,
Mr. Eaton, the President of Union Uni
versity. I am informed that this Col
lege is in a highly prosperous condition
| —numbering largely over 200 students
Bn addition to the present able and wel]
trained corps of teachers, the services
Dr. Crawford of Georgia, have been
secured —a son of the late Wm. IJ.
Crawford, the first man I ever voted for
for President of the United States.”

tory goes, the lovelorn aligator-tamer
ook it into his head to buy a ticket in

March the tail wagged and the ticket
ras bought. It turned up a prize of
20,000. The Delta says the story is a
rue one.
Apeakance of the Cincinnati Cont
ention.—The Cincinnati Commercial
f Tuesday, in closing its report of the
rst day’s proceedings of the Conven
ion, thus speaks of the appearance of its
nembere :
“ The representatives of the Democra
cy in Convention assembled, are, as a i
in iiiii? item.
whole, good-looking men. The number
of big rosy men is remarkable. The
general appearance of the body of the
delegates is decidedly superior to that of
the House of Representatives. Among
the other things, it is evident that the
South has sent up its strong men to re
present it on this occasion, as usual.”

Die Teeth. Their Treatment
aud Cure.—The preservation of the teeth in a
sound, undecayed condition, through the “seven
ages ’’ of life, even to the “ last scene of at!,” has
engaged the unwearying efforts of some of the
roost talented, devoted, and most successful dis
ciples of Esculapius, but to the renowned Dr.
lon tame was reserved the glory of giving to the
world, in the “Balm of Thousand Flowers,” the
best article yet discovered for strengthening and
beautifying the teeth and adding the profession
of dentist to the long list of “ occupations gone.”
The “ Bairn,” as a dentifrice for cleansing the
teeth, is the most medicinal, harmless compound
which cau be desired; it eradicates all tartar;
effectually prevents all decay, arresting its pro
gress when begun; cures ulcers, and makes the
gums fresh, roseate and strong.

Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
From the Kditor of the Uermont Journal, June 29,
1856.
Wistak's Balsam of Wild Ciiep.ht
has become one of the established institutions of
the country. During the ten years Dr. Fowie
has been the proprietor of this valuable medicine
it has been constantly gaining ground in the
public confidence. Persons personally known
to us have used it with signal results. Although
we have ourself had uo occasion to try its medi
cinal virtues, we do not hesitate, from what we
know of the experience of others, to pronounce
this Balsam on# of the most efficacious ot reme
dies for the Asthma aud Atfections of the Lungs.
Physicians—many of the Lest of them—nre in the
habit of using it.

refreshed and invigorated like a Spring morning,
then your case is hopeless, and all the valuable

favor of Day’9 Magical Cleanser, from Gen.
John H. Rice, of the firm of Hooper & Rice,
Attorney, CassviUe, Ga.:
Ca-ssviUe, Ga., May 28tf, 1858.
Mr. A. C. Day.—Dear Sir— lt is with pleasure
that I testify to the rhuracter and value ot Day’s
Magical Cleanser, after having used it for some
six or seveu years. In the year 185<>, I was hav
ing a house built, and by accident, a small bucket
of ivory black was turned over upon a new laid
floor of my house, which when wiped up, left a
black spot as large as the bottom of a half bushel.
After rubbing this spot with strong soup suds, I
poured on it about three ounces of your Magical
Cleanser, and rubbed it over the spot well with
a cloth, for some five minutes, which removed
entirely all stain of the black from the floor.
I have frequently applied it to grease spots on
clothing, and have no hesitancy in saying that it
is far superior to anything of the Icind I have ever
seen used. It removes the spots or stains with
out the slightest injury to the color or texture of
the goods, is easily applied, and requires but a
few moments to perform its work.
Respectlully yours,
JOHN H. RICE.

It has Worked Miracles!
THAT all the Bald and Gray can be restored
perfectly to original growth, so far as tin r
locks are concerned, does not admit of doubt;
besides, it will cure every possible disease of the
Sc tip, whether developed as dandruff, itching,
or in the shape of cutaneous eruptions— even
scald-head—and in no possible case will it fail
of curing, as if bv magic, nervous or periodical
headache, aid if used twice a week by the Young,

It. It. Office, Vandalia, June 21, 1851.
Professor Wood:
Dear Sir—l take pleasure in bearing volun
tary testimoney to the excellence of your Hair
Restorative. Three months ago, my hair was
very gray. It m now a dark blown < the original
col> r , smooth and glossy. The only application
1 have made to it, has been the Ilair Restorative
prep .red by you, and w hich, from the result in
my own case, I can most cordially recommend
to others. Respectfully yours,
Edward Wolcott.
Vincennes, la., June 21, 185 5.
Prof. O. J. Wood— As you are about to in ;nu
fitefure and vend your recently discovered Hair
Restorative, I will state, for whomsoever it may
concern, that I have used it, nnd known others
to use it—that 1 have, for several years, been in
the habit of using olh r Ilair Restoratives, nnd
that I find yours vartly snjc or to any oh ri
know. It entirely chaoses the head of dandruff’,
and with one month’s proper use, will restore
any person’s hair to the original youthful color
and texture, giving it a healthy, soft and glossy
appearance; and all this, without discoloring
the hands that apply if, or the dress on which it
drops. I would, therefore, recommend its us.-
to every one desirous of having a fine co ur aid
texture to the hair. Respectfully yoi rs,
Wilson King.
St. Louis, Jane 21', 1853.
Prof. Wood—As you arc about to prepare and
vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative,
and as you request my opinion of it, I will state,
that my hair was, a few month ago, very gray,
and after using two bottles of your Jia r Restor
ative, it resumed its oiigi :il color; ands nee .ts
application, all dandruff has disappeared from
my head, and I have been troubled with no dis
agreeable itching of the scalp. I am satisfied
that those who use it will not regret it, as it gives
the appearance of having been recently oiled. I
am prepared, therefore, to recommend its use to
all who are desirous of having a beautiful he and
of hair. I am, sir, yours, etc.,
11. L. Stew art.
Prof. Wood. Dear Sir: My hair had, forseveial
years, been becoming prematurely gray, accom
panied by a harshness which rendered the con
stant application of oil necessary in dressing it.
When I commenced using your Hair Restorative,
about two months ago, it was in that condition ;
and having continued its use till within the last
three weeks, it has turned to its natural color,
and assumed a softness and lustre greatly to be
preferred to those produced by the aj plica on of
oils or any other preparation I have ever used. I
regard it as an indispensable article fir every
lady’s toilet, whether to be used us a Hair Re
storative, or for the simple simple purpose of
dressing or beautifying the hair. You have per
mission to refer to me all who entertain any
doubt of its performing all that is claimed for it.

tues and magic powers of your Hair Restorative.
Three mouths since, being exceedingly gray, I
gurchased, and soon commenced to use, two
ottles; and it soon began to tell, in restoring
silver locks to their native color, and the hair,
which was before dry and harsh and falling oft,
now became soft and glossy, and it ceased filling;
the dandruff disappeared, and the scalp lost all
its disagreeable itening, so annoying before, and
now, I not only look, but feel young again.
