mmm Petroleum in Georgia and Alabama.— 'That portion of Georgia wbidr lie* west of the Western and Atlantic Railroad in its Northwestern section,and extends across the boundary of Alabama, far into the interior of the State, is not, in all probability, sur passed in the extent and variety of its min eral resources by any portion of the United States, embracing the same extent of terri tory. The Legislature of Georgia, both at its late and tormer sessions, have been alive to this fact, and have brought into existence various chartered companies for the devel opment of one or another of these mineral products. We are glad to observe this evi dence of the enterprising spirit of our peo ple, and regard it as auguring well for the revival of the pristine glory of the old com monwealth. During the war the petroleum interest has sprung up in portions of the States of West ern Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and other States, which for its magnitude has astound ed the country and the world. The meaning of the word petroleum is rock oil. The quantity of this useful article of commerce exceeds all belief. Some wells yield as much as a thousand barrels a day, others still high er,and one has for some time afforded daily, 3,000 barrels of oil! The multifarious uses to which this oil is applied forbid the suppo sition that the markets of the world will ever be glutted by its abundance. Evidences of petroleum in the Northwest section of this State, and in the portions of Alabama referred to are so abundant lhat they are attracting capital from all parts of the country. The surface indications of this wonderful oleaginous Quid are very striking to the eye of the experienced “oil hunter” throughout the entire area of this coal re-, gion. The cliff of the geological strata of Northern Alabama and Northwest Geor gia—the formations of slate, sandstone and shade—the discovery of oil in many localities, floating od the surface of stagnant pools and streams of water—all tend to confirm the belief that these sections are rich in this newly discovered source of im mense wealth; and the fact that petroleum has been recently found in Kentucky and Tennessee in quantities that promise to sur pass even the famous wells of Venango county, Penn., is another strong indication that this valuable material exists througljmt the entire chain of the Cumberland moun tains, from Pennsylvania to the Mississippi river. In all sections of these States prepara tions are making for testing the existence of oil. Some of the most sagacious of our capi talists are interested in these enterprises, and should success attend in their operations, the whole of our people will be benefited, and prosperity scatter her blessings over the land.—Macon Telegraph. FROrai! SfOStL 1 FINiNCIAL.’ HOWELL OOBB. JAMES JAOUQN. Important Rumor — We learn from a gen tleman who has arrived in this city per Mo bile and Ohio Railroad, says the Mobile Tri bune, that there was a rumor on the train to the effect that a telegram had passed through the office at Okalona. Miss., stating that the French bad taken Brownsville, Texas. The Tribune's informant was unable to learn any of the particulars, and just give the rumor as he heard it. There is nothing improbable in this, as the force which was stationed at Brownsville was not sufficient to prevent its capture if the French were determined upon it. We shall probably have authentic news from that section in a few days. Secretary Seward on War.—A gentle man of this city, says the Louisville Journal, on Thursday of last week, put an interesting question to Mr. Seward, Secretary of State. Mr. Seward replied, “I must answer you diplomatically”—and he did. “And now,” said the gentleman, “I will ask you another question, and you can answer as diplomati cally as you please; Are we to have war ?” “No .’’’replied the Secretary. Nothing di plomatic about that. We know that this con versation took place, for we heard it. COBB & JACKSON, Attorneys-at-Law," MACON, GEORGIA. SIGHT DRAFTS ON NEW YORK. For sale bj aeplS BHIQHAM.

CONSTITUTION, , LIFE SYRUP, COMPOSED OF IODIDE 0FPOTA8SIUM, WITH THE COMPOUND CONCEN TRATED FLUID EXTRACT OF VALUABLE MEDICINAL ROOTS AND HERBS. Prepared by WM. H. GREGC. Iff. D./ Graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New fork; formerly Assistant Physician in the RUuJaneU'a island Hospitals. CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP Has produced a revolution in Medicine. What may seem almost incredible is, that maay dls eases hitherto considered hopelessly incurable are be quentty cured in a few days or weeks; and we cheer lolly invite the investigations of the liberal minded and scientific to curse which have no parallel at the prea- sent day. During the past five years we have contended with obstacles and overcome opposition as herculean as were ever encountered by any reformers. RAPIDITY OF CURE. Some say, “Your cures are too quick," while others doubt their permanence, and Brink that diseases can only be cured by the “slow, recuperative process of Nature.” This Is our reply: In health, the body, like a well- balanced scale, la in a state of equilibrium. But when, from any eaoae, down goes one side of the scale, we have the effects of disease. What is requisite, U tore store the normal balance of the scale. CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP ... Is a positive and specific remedy for all diseases origi ns ting from an impure state of the Blood,, and for si (hereditary) diseases transmitted from, parent to child PARALYSIS. It la so universally admitted that Constitution Life Syrup Is the only effective means of restoration In the various forms of Paralysis, that we need not reiterate that It la emphatically the Great-Life-giving Power.

Throat, Tongue, 8pine, Forehead, or Scalp: no remedy has ever proved Its equal. Moth Patches upon the female face, depending upon a diseased action of the liver, are very unpleasant to the young wife and mother. A few bottles of Consti tution Life Syrup will correct the secretion and remove the deposit, which ia directly under the akin. Diseases of the Liver, giving rise to Languor, Dlazl- neaa, Indigestion, Weak Stomach, or an aloerated or cancerous condition of that organ, accompanied with burning or other unpleasant symptoms, will bs re lieved by the use of CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP. As a General Blood-Purifying Agent, the Life Syrup stands unrivalled by any preparation In the world. THE RICH AND POOR Are liable to the same diseases. Nature and adenos have made the Constitution Life Syrnp for the benefit of all.
