Je6 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.

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 held to be a certificate, and subject to a stamp duty of five cents, except when.taken in suits in legal proceedings. Certificates of Loan, in which there shall appear any written or printed evidence of an amount of money to be paid on demand or at a time designated, are subject to a stamp duty as “Promissory Notes." The assignment of mortgage Is subject to the same stamp duty as that imposed upon 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
