r JX) THE CITIZENS OF GEORGIA
The termination of a sanguinary contest, which for
the past fonr years has presented an impassable barrier
to all social or commercial intercourse* between the
two great sections of our country, having at length
happily cleared away all obstacles to a removal of
those relations which formerly bound us together in a
fraternal tujlon, I take the earliest opportunity afford
ed me by this auspicious event, to greet my Southern
friends, and to solicit from them a renewal of that ex.
tensive business connection which for a quarter of a
century has been uninterrupted save by the great pub
lic calamity to which I have adverted.
It is scarcely necessary, on the threshold of a busi
ness re-umon, I should repeat the warning so often
given to my friends,—to beware of all those spurious
and deleterious compounds which, under the specious
and false titles of Imported Wines, Brandies, Hollaritl
Gin, Liquors, 4c., have been equally destructive to
the health of our citlxens and prejudicial to the interest
of the legitimate Importer.
Many years of my past life have been expended in
an open and candid attempt to expose these wholesale
frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to ac
complish this saintary purpose, and to place before
my friends and the public generally; at the lowest
possible market pricy, and in such qnantities as might
suit their convenience, a truly* genuine imported arti
cle.
Twgnty-flve years’ business transactions with the
largest and most respectable exporting houses in
France and Great Britain have afforded memnsurpass
ed facilities for supplying our home market with
Wines, Liquors, and Liquers of the best and most ap
proved brands In Europe, in addition to my own dis
tillery in Holland for the manufacture of the “Schie
dam Schnapps.’
The latter, so long tested and approved t>y the med
ical Faculties of the United States, West Indies and
South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a whole
some, pleasant, and perfectly safe beverage in all cli
mates and during all seasons, qnickly excited the cu
pidity of the home manufacturers and venders of a
spurious article uuder the same name.
I trust that I have, after much toil and expense, sur
rounded all my importations with safeguards and di
rections which with ordinary circumspection will In
sure their delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to
all my customers.
I would, however, recommend in all cases where It
is possible, that orders be sent direct to my Depot, 22
Beaver street, New York, or that purchases be made
of my accredited agents.
In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies, 4c.,
in wood, I have a consicHhable supply of old tried for
eign u ines, embracing vintages of many past years,
bottled up before the commencement of the war,
which I can especially recommend to all connoisseurs
of these rare luxuries.
In conclusion, I would specially call the early atten
tion of my Southern customers to the advantage to be
derived by transmitting their orders without loss of
time, or calling personally at the Depot, in order to
insure the fulfillment of their favors from the present
large and well selected assortment.

ry#nd playing card stamps, tor which a spe
cial use has been provided.
Postage stamps canuot be used in payment
of the duty chargeable on instruments.
Any schedule C stamp may be used for any
article in that list.
It is the duty of the • maker of an instru
ment to affix and cancel the stajap required
thereon. If lie neglect to do so; the party
for whose use it is made, may stamp it before
it is use; but in no case can it be legally used
without'a stamp; and if used after the 30th
of June, 1864, and used without a stamp, it
cannot be afterwards effectually stamped-
Any failure upon the part of the maker of an
instrument to appropriately stamp it, renders
him liable to a penalty of two hundred dol
lars.
Suits are commenced in many States by
other process than writ, viz; summons, war
rant, publication, petition, &c., in which
cases these, as the orignal process, severally
require stamps.
Writs of scire facias are subject to stamp
duty as original process.
The' jura of an Affidavit, taken before a
justice of the peace, notary public ori other
officer duly authorized to take affidavits,- is

the original instrument; that is to say for ev
ery sum ot five hundred dollars, or any other
fractional part thereof of the amount se
cured by the mortgage at the time of its
assignment, there must be affixed a stamp or
stamps denoting a duty of fifty cents.
When two or more persons join in the ex
ecution of an instrument, the stamp tq which
the instrument is liable under the law, may
be affixed and canceled by any one of the
parties- •
In conveyances of real estate, the law pro
vides that the stamp affixed must answer to
the value of the estate of interest conveyed.
No stamp is required on any warrant of
attorney accompanying a bond or note, when
such bond or note has affixed thereto, the
