4 THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE & SENTINEL. Mr. Webster’s Speech--A Sketch. The Washington correspondent of the Bal timore American, furnishes the following sketch of the Speech of Mr. Webster, on the bill to authorize a loan of sixteen millions of dollars, delivered in the Senate on the 22nd instant: Mr. Webster rose and said, that on Friday a bill had passed the Senate for raising ten new regiments. And they are informed that that bill is soon to be followed by another to raise twenty regiments of volunteers for the same service. He had desired on Friday to express his views, and would now do so, in opposition to the policy which they were intended to pro mote. The bill now before the Senate was a measure to provide the means for the support of these thirty regiments. The scenes through which we have passed and are passing here are various. For a fortnight the world supposed them to have been occupied in the ratification of a treaty of peace. And though the world had been shut out, strong assurances had been given us of the prospect of a treaty of peace to console us. Not a temporary peace—but a permanent one, which shall cut off their ex penses, and return our children from the land of slaughter and still more deadly climate to our fireside. Scarcely had these notes died away when we were called upon for this additional force to press home by fire and the sword, the claims which we had put forth against a fallen, he had almost said an ignoble, foe. The doctrine put forth by the Senator from Michigan was, that not only was it necessary to secure peace, but to press the war with increased vigor. What then should all this mean ? Was it an admission that we were no nearer a peace than when we snatched up a piece of paper and passed it through this body. His strong desire had been for peace. The actual order of pro ceedings had been to negotiate first and ratify afterwards. But we had reversed the order of proceedings, had ratified a treaty an I then sent agents to negotiate. It struck him that the course which they had adopted was strange, was grotesque —unprecedented in the history of diplomatic intercourse. We were in possession of California, and New Mexico, and were informed of the inten tion of the President to retain them as provin ces proper to be added to the United States, and these troops were to coerce Mexico into a cession of this territory. This is the object of these additional regiments in his opinion, the identical object for which the war was com menced. All, all Mexico. The members of the House had all been elected since the declaration of the 11th March, 1846. That other House had declared by their vote that this war was unnecessarily and un constitutionally commenced by the President of the United States. In that declaration he concurred, and he believed the majority of the people also. There was another proposition equally ca pable of demonstration, that this war was be gun and has been prosecuted for the acquisi tion ol new territory, with a view to bring new States into this confederacy. And this force is to be used to force Mexico into an acquiescence in this design on our part ta bring in new States from her territory. We know that the Mexican people will never ac cede to this treaty unless compelled by irresis tible force, and for this it was that these thirty thousand troops were to be sent into Mexico. It was apparent to all. he said, that the war was substantially over—that there was to be no more fighting. It was Ins opinion that the peo ple would not sustain this war. He hoped the ten regiment bill would not become a law—and for this he supposed that he should be called a Mexican whig. For saying that he would not approve a measure proposed by the adminis tration, a man was now to be termed an ene my to his country, or what was deemed the same thing—an enemy to the President. He did not know a greater Mexican than the Senator from Michigan. He had said that his object was to frighten Mexico, which would be more humane than to harm her. This was said in the hearing of Mexico, and even of the people of the United States. Thia was on the telegraphic wires, and floating over the (hill* of Mexico. And in order that he might not frighten her too much, he had taken the pre caution to inform Mexico that his object was only to frighten her. He quoted “Snub,” in the character of the Lion, in “ Midsummer’s Nights Dream,” show ing but half his face, as illustrating the course of the Senator from Michigan in this particu lar case—“ Ladies, fair ladies, don’t think me a lion—l am no lion —I am only ‘ Snub the Joiner.” Hr contended that there was no necessity for this additional force. Sickness and battle had so thinned the ranks of the army in Mexico, that it would reqtire 10,000 men io till up the piVOVUV * This was all that was necessary. lie mi derstoo hat there was a report from Gen. Scott, (t. mi whose career in Mexico he pas sed aver . high compliment.) showing, that if tin? regiments were all filled up. there would be, including recruits on the way, 55,000 troops in .Mexico. The effect of creating new regiments, rais ui!i new recruits, and appointing new officers, without filling up the old regiments, would be ultimately to thin the ranks that the officers would exceed the privates in number. Phe Government of Mexico, he said, pro bably owed its existence to the expectation of relief from the three millions appropriation. Then where the necessity of sending this new force into Mexico. Tile main object of these wishes, he believed, was patronage—the grat ification of friends. I lie bill would render necessary the ap pointment of some 500 officers—Colonels. Majors. Captains. A c.—but there were also pay masters, commissaries, el id omne genus— down to sutlers, who in the language of Cor poral Kim. declares: ‘•Sutler he would be unto the camp, And profits should ensue.” To the object for which the war was prose cuted—the bringing of new States into the Unio —he was opposed, lie was opposed to bringing new States into the Union from fo reign territories. East, West. North or South. He would reject all—and if the question were put to him to-day. whether he would have peace with new States, he won hi sav no ’ I er there was no reason w hatever to believe that we could not obtain as speedy, as safe, and ns honorable peace without as with territory. Mexico does not wish us to take her territory -—she yields it reluctantly—and every man here knew it And it the Frist paper was rejected by Mexi co it would be in consequence of the reluc tance of the Mexican Congress or the Mexi can people to give up their territory. They preferred to keep their territory ami that we should keep our money—just as he preferred that we should keep our money and she should ; •tC-p her territory. He denied that the people of the United States, in concluding a peace desired the ac quisition of territory —and sacA territory. Through the South and West he believed there was no general feeling in favor of takin* territory, and such he believed were tho pre ponderating sentiments at the North. He knew no reason then why the purpose of the President should control them, any more than their purpose should conlr >1 him. He would stand out. it was said, against them, and were they afraid to stand out against him. He was willing to go to the people on this issue, or on the issue whether we shall or shall no: lake territory. If the constitution was to be broken down let it be the act of the people, not his. But he did not distrust the people. He was willing to sub mit it to them, whether they will take territory, paying for it a thousand times more than it is worth, or whether they will take peace without territory. But the truth cOnld not be concealed that we trembled before Executive power. Mr. Folk would take nothing but this, and we feared if we opposed, the King s anger would be kin dled. And who was Mr. Folk ’ He meant no disrespect. He was in the last year of his official term, and m two short months events might occur which would render his wishes of i very little consequence. Wo were on the eve of a Presidential nomination. 1: might be that Mr. Polk would receive again the nomination of his party ; but if not. his position and influence wuiiid be as insignifi cant as any of theirs. Who then would care for the consistency of the present incumbent ’ Manifest destiny w ill then have pointed out some other man as only fit to be at the head of this government. Therefore it was that he did not ascribe any particular consequence to the will of the present Executive in the matter. He w ished, like Zachary Taylor at the battie of Buena Vista, that they had the prudence to “ feel the enemy. *’ before acting, and if they did •o. he believed that, as in the other case, they would find him on h;s w ay to San Luis Foto»i From the annexation of 1 exas, down to tins moment, he h id opposed the annexation of new territory tv the American I mon. He then explained his poaiuoii. iu Mr. Ty ler’s cabinet, on the Texas question. He saw , subsequently in 1543. when not in public life, I that the annexation of I'exas was the settled ; Purpose of the administration, and he had then j aeeuied it his dutv to let the public know his • ' lews th-reon. just before the coming id of die present administration, when the re»olu- ’ ihe annexation e!

He held it to be a most flagrant imposition upon the government and constitution which we professed to support To be sure it was provided that these new States should come in at a suitable time but that suitable time would be, as in the case of Texas, when partv votes were wanted. Mr. W. said the' two votes of the Texas Sen ators, w* ho came in in 1846, overthrew the tariff of 1842, one of the best systems of finance which had ever existed in this country. This was then the suitable time for them, and possi bly two years hence we may be engaged in re vising the present system when it will perhaps a<rain be the suitable time lor the admission of another of these new States. If wc take New Mexico and California, who is <o weak as to think that the hunger for ac quisition will be appeased, unless upon the presumption that what we get is so worthless, that more is undesirable ? He had heard no cry so absurd as that we are getting indemnity. We were paying a large sum. and what did we get for it? lie proceeded to show that there was no public do main in Mew Mexico—that there are plenty of people, such as they are—and that there will not be2o(l planters or farmers who will go from the U. States to Mexico, in fifty years.— They cannot live there For agricultural pur poses it was useless to us. [Mr. Rusk here, Mr. Webster giving way, explained that a very great portion of the terri tory in New Mexico lying between the Nueces and Rio Grande was valuable, and that Mexi cans were emigrating to this portion of Tex as.] Mr. Webster proceeded. Much had been said about leaving the regulation ofcertain mat ters to the people of these new Slates when they shall adopt a constitution, and ask for ad mission into the Union. Who did not know that the people of New Mexico and Califor nia, were w holly incompetent to form a Consti tution for themselves—that when the “suitable time” arrived, a Constitution would be provi ded for them by the executive government at Washington ? Mr. Webs»er said that while their territories remain territories, they will be troublesome— armies wiil be required for their protection.— When they become Stales they will be still more so. He thought he saw in the future a determination to destroy the proper checks and balances of the constitution He should dothisduty, whether supported or unsuppor ted. He defied all auguries, and looked for support to no omen but his country’s good. Valuable Statistics.—The New York Courier ft Enquirer has compiled from the re cent report of the Commissioner of Patents the following statistics: Public Lands. — The sales of public lands princi pally in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Alabama, Louisi ana. Arkansas, lowa, and Wisconsin, amounted to 2,526,600 acres in 1847. As a proof of the increase of population in the new established territories, the increase of the population of Wisconsin is given, which is as follows: 1830 3,245 1842 46,648 183614.686 1845117,000 183818,149 1846155,277 1840 30,945 1847215,000 This of course, is the result of increase of popula tion.

Add to this, the immigrants fn»m other ports, nnd the immigration was probably not less than 300,000! The following table presents the comparison in this respect of the last two years : 1846. 1847.

We notice iu one of the New York papers a brief report of a lecture delivered recently in that city by Professor Mason, on the economy of individual life, from which we are able to se lect some interesting fact* in relation to the av erage extent of human life. 'This of course has varied at different periods of the world, and still varies in different countries under the influ ence of education, morals, food, and other cir cumstances. t |h<* vnriatHMi alluded tn. we may remark that in the sixteenth century the average extent of life in Geneva, Switzer land, was so remarkably low as nine years, which the Professor attributed to epidemical diseases, bad food, bad dwellings, and continual warfare. The learned men of that country, however, directed their attention to these cau ses of premature death ; and under their care a system so perfect lias been established that the inhabitants of Geneva now live to a great er age than those of any other city on the globe. Similar changes h ive taken place tn Great Britain since; by means of improvements in science, the average of human life has been el evated from seventeen to fifty years. The scripture gives three score years ami ten as the limit of human existence, and Professor Mason coutends A that whenever the medical jurispru dence of a country can, as in England and this country, enlarge the average duration to fifty years, the remaining twenty of the scriptural limit are generally cut off by intemperance and hereditary disease. In Mexico the average of human life is only fifteen years, which circumstance alone is sutfi cient to show the vast difference existing be tween the moral and physical condition of that people and our own. Beyond Comparison the best Joke of Our Times. We have read the following wondrous le gend ; and must say that we cannot now des" pair of humanity any more : The New York correspondent of the Phila delphia Inquirer, says the Mobile Herald, tells imi amusing story of a new invention against r«»gues, called the ••Combination Lock.’’ Re cently a \\ all street broker, of considerable wealth, ami who lives in great style in the west end of Gotham, purchased a beautiful tire proofsafe, in which to secure his valuables against the tierce elements, to which he affixed one of these beautiful pieces of mechanism. 'They are so strangely complicated that you may lock them, band the key to the manufacturer even, and the chances are as one to ten thou sand, that he will not open them. The wards and interior arrangements of these locks are alph ibeticaliy arranged, and \on select a word m the language, take the letters, and lock the wards, answering to these letters, one bv one. 'Thus take the word -chair”—you lock c. then A. then a. then i. then r. Now it must be unlocked m the same way, and unlessyou hit upon the exact word you will never be able to unlock it. Well, the broker in question locked his new safe according to the word ••boots," b it after working at it for au hour or more, the next morning, he could nut unlock it, and gave ' it up in despair. As his funds were all locked up. says the let ter. and he had no money with which to pay his notes and carry on his business that day. but as his credit was good, he raised sufficient for the purpose by borrowing of die banks.— The next morning the manufacturer of the lock, according to request, called to ascertain the difficulty. He said he had no doubt he could unlock the safe, if the gentleman would tell him -the word to which he locked it.— ••Boots," was the word, ami to work tie set to unlock it to ••boots ' \N ell. he tried, sanguine ol success, but ■boots." would not unlock the safe. He tried again and again, and was no m.»re successful. He tried an hour, two hours, and three hours and no success. Finally a happy thought struck him. He wiped the per spiration from his face, took a drink of water, examined the key again and looked at the bro ker straight m the eye. and said : - Sir. allow me to ask you how you spell boots.” •• How do I spell boots!" said the other. ‘Ob. ne ver mind, said the man of combination locks. • how I spell it; how do you spell it *" • B-u-t-s. to be sure.*’ said the broker “The d—l vou do.” said the lockman : “and if you spell boots buit. I will unlock the safe bu:>." and he did un lock it ioi the twinkling of an eye. Several ladies of Washington’s time are siil living. The widow of Dr. Rush, now in her ninetieth year, resides at Philadelphia. She is the mother of R.chard Rush. Charge d'affaires in France. The widow of Lewis Morris lives in the neighborhood of New-York : Mrs. Madi son at W ashington t Mrs. Bradford, widow of the first Attorney General of the United States, lives at Burlington. N.

Schuyler, and the widow of the celebrated colleague of Washing ton and Marshall, was seen a few days since w alking m Broadway These five widows of illustrious men of the American revolution were at that lime the ornament of the saloon ot the first President ol* the United Slates; and it w ould be a curious spectacle to see them to gether again.

Ex-Fresident Van Buren was in the cars when the accident occurred at the bridge over the Passaic at Newark. His escape from death was narrow and providential. Catching the Sun. —In crossing the At lantic, says a friend, some years ago we were very much amused by the remarks'of two ver dant sons of the Emerald Isle. It being near meridian, the Captain was engaged in taking the meridian altitude, during which process, he was narrowly watched by the two before men tioned. At length, their patience could stand it no longer, and one cried, “Arrah, Jerry, what’s the captain doing.” “ Whilst, Paddy,” replied Jerry in a whisper, “he’s slhriving to catch the sun in a brass rat-trap.” Some wag thus ‘ sets off*” the class of adver tisers whose tin in inn circulars, “goods at less than cost,” frequently cover the door-steps of our unoffending citizens : “ The advertiser, having obtained his goods for nothing, is desirous of selling at less than cost. Calicoes, mousseline de laines, sheeting, shirting, and all kinds of common goods, he will pay to have taken away. Silks, satins, bro cades and articles of rare quality and material, he will thank any lady or gentleman to receive, but cannot afford any further remuneration. Apply at The Cheapest Store of all, No. 000 Nubibus-street.” Highway Robbery.—The latest and best thing of the kind that we have heard, relates to “Fred.” the Prince of all wags. He was jog ging home rather late, and a little happy, when, passing by a dark alley, a large two-fisted fel low stepped out and seized him by the collar and demanded his money. “ Money ?” said Fred, ‘money I have none, but ifyou will hold on a moment I will give you my note at thirty days.”— Buffalo Express. A Monument of Sculls.—There is in Gerbi, in the regency of Tunis, a large pyra mid constructed of the sculls of Christians, mostly Maltese, Sicilians and Spaniards, who fell in an engagement which took place on the 20 th of July, 1560. At the instance of friar Fedele de Ferrara, apostolic vicar, and Si/ Thomas Reade, the English Consul at Tunis, the Bey lately sent to the governor an order for the demolition of this unsightly edifice ; and friar Joseph-Antoine and Mr. Growe, British Vice-Consul, had come from Spax. the first to perform the religious ceremonies, the latter to be officially present at the demolition of the pyramid, which the natives called Borg-Irius. On the day fixed for this operation,, the friar, the vice consul and M. Pariente, the consular agent, accompanied by the governor and the commandant of the troops repaired there, that they might witness the execution of the Bey’s commands. The master-mason had hardly commenced his operations before the soldiers and other armed individuals came running up, uttering loud outcries, and threatening to add their sculls to the pyramid. In vain the Gov ernor sought to pacify them, saying he was but fulfilling the Bey’s commands; they maltreated them, and compelled them to retire. Newspaper Borrowing.— Douglas Jerrold’s newspaper gives the following report of a cu rious case, tried in one of the law courts in Lon don : “ The plaintiff* in this case, a news ven der, sought to recover from the defendant, a re tired tradesman, the sum of6s. for’newspapers ent to him to read. The plaintiff having prov ed his case, the defendant admitted the debt, but doubted whether he could be compelled to pay. The judge observed that such a remark from him he considered disgraceful ; but still he could not entertain the claim, as the law now stood die same as years ago, when it had been decided that persons lending newspapers could not recover, but were liable for so doing to a penalty of £SO, it being considered by such trafficking in stamps to be defrauding the reve nue, as it prevented the sale of papers. He therefore must dismiss the complaint. Judg ment for defendant. Listen to this account of the condition of the French people, furnished by one of their jour nals, the Reforme: Out of a population of about 33,000.000 there are now 4,000,000 per sons clothed in rags; 20,000,000 who never wear shoes ; 18,000,000 who never eat wheaten bread; 27.000,000 who cannot get wine to drink—not drugged, as here; 31.01)0,000 100 poor to afford sugar; 31.000,000 forced to ab stain from the use of meat. The Pasha of Egypt.—Mehernet Ali in his old age is becoming quite sociable and civil ized. His Highness seems to relish the socie ty <»f Europeans, and to feel that their conver sation is more entertaining than that of his cour tiers and the bigoted Turks about him. On the 12th inst. he gave a grand dinner to the European consuls in Alexandria, to meet the Russian consul, who has only recently come to Egypt. The gentlemen were not invited alone, but those having families were asked to bring their wives and daughters with them. A most sumptuous repast of thirty covers was spread ouliu elegant European fashion in the A aiace ai mama uu; iirtitmuicd a very animated appearance, having thevice roy at the head, seated between two European ladies, to whom he showed the greatest atten tion. There was a sprinkling of gray bearded Turks amongst the Pasha’s guests, and the whole feast went off’ with great satisfaction to all parlies. After dinner, pipes were handed round to all the guests without omitting the I.idles, to whom those most richly mounted were offered. Some of the ladies only pretended to smoke—to refuse the pipe would have been an unpardonable offence—but other ladies seemed to enjoy inhaling the fumes of the Viceroy’s excellent tobacco. Paris Paper. A Fraudulent Bankrupt.—Hamburg wit nessed a curious proceeding on the Bth. The scaffold was erected as for an execution before the principal front of the Exchange, and al noon a large furnauce tilled with resinous wood was placed on it. The wood having been set on tire, the bells of the Town-Hall were iting violently, as is usual during the execu ti ng ofdecree indicting in famous penalties. At the hour al which merchants are assembled on the Exchange, the public executioner ascend ed on the scaffold, and after having caused a drum to beat, proclaimed in a loud voice the name of a merchant who had been declared guilty of a fraudulent bankruptcy, and who had taken io Hight. He then displayed to the spectators an enormous placard, bearing the name of the culprit m gigantic letters. He next caused the drum to be beat a second time, after'which he tossed the placard into the Haines. London Sun Nor. 17. Admiration and Love.—There is a wide difference between admiration and love. The sublime, which is lhe cause of the former, al ways dwells on great objects, and terrible ; the latter »»n small ones, and pleasing. We sub mit to whal we admire. but we love what sub mits tj ns : in one case we are forced, in the other we are Haltered into compliance. Genuineness and Authenticity.—A gen uine book is that which was wrilen by the per son whose name it bears as the author of it.— An authentic book is that winch relates matters of fact as they really happened. A book may be genuine without being authentic, and a book may lie authentic without being genuine.— liishop Hutson. Extra Detonation.—The Scientific Me chanic says that Mr Robert Wallace, of St. John. X. B . recently constructed a brass trum pet. about fixe feet long, with a bell mouth, the latter two feet eight inches in diameter. The instrument is fitted tightly on the end of a loaded musket, on lhe discharge of which a verv loud noise is produced, similar to that resulting from a cannon of a large calibre. Such an instru ment must prove to be useful and economical, on board of ships and at light house stations, for the purpose of making signals in foggy weather.or in lhe nighttime, or upon occasions of distress. Notes Returned.—We understand that the rogues who entered the store of Mr. Simon Merrit on Friday night last, and robbed it of SI3U in money, a variety of notes, due bills, Ac., have returned through the Post-office lhe pocket-book and papers, reserving to them selves the money. This is certainly very thoughtful and conscientious, and it is to be hoped that on further reflection, the parties may conclude to send back the money also. As they failed to get what they were after, it would scarcely be professional in them to re tain the small amount actually secured. It is almost as small a business, as' would be an at tempt to rob an editor.— Journal and Messenger 2tkA inst. The Flight of Time —By James.— •• Suns have set and risen, day and night have been, months have succeeded weeks, hearts are cold that were then warm eyes dim or cold that were then bright the shade of gray has come upon lhe glossy hair, sickness and health have changed places in many a frame. Slates have seen revolutions, men have perished an J been born, virtue and vice have triumphed and have failed, monarchs have died, and good and wise men have passed away .shipwreck and flame, and warand pestilence, and accident and sorrow, hare done their part, and bursting forth again from a thousand different sources, the teeming life of earth has sprung up and glittered m the sun. as if but lhe more abun dant for that which was abstracted from it. The world has grown older, but not less full, and those who have aided the work and under gone change, are hardly conscious that it has taken place.” A New Cure for Consumption.—A Mr. Deschamps recently addressed a letter to the Academy of Sciences. (Paris) in which he as serts that he has discovered an infallible reme dy for diseases of the lungs, even when tuber cles have formed. He has forwarded his recipe and sent his security to the value of 7O.(XM) francs, to be forfeited in case the effica cy of his remedy should not be established bv experience. Good Citizens —A Western writer in the Intelligencer, says of a Protestant Colonv of about S.H.I Hollanders, just located in Iowa: 1: ;s a singular sight; the velvet jackets and wooden shoes of these Puritans of the 19th cen tury. in the midst of the prairies of the New Purchase, that stretch from the De* Moines to the Cbotaque. in Central lowa. They are i.v- ing at present in camps covered with cloth, or grass and bushes.—the sides barricaded with all sorts of odd-looking boxes and chests from the Netherlands. These people are much more respectable and intelligent than most of the foreigners. When they took the oath of allegiance a few weeks since but two made their marks. Many of the leading men are possessed of unusual refine ment and education. A Man that is a Man.—The man whom I call deserving the name, is one whose thoughts and exertions are for others rather than him self, whose high purpose is adopted on just principles, and never abandoned while heaven and earth affords means of accomplishing it. He is one who will neither seek an indirect ad vantage by a specious road, nor take an evil path to secure a real good purpose. — Sir H al ter Scott. Old Rice.— A gentleman who has resided for many years in India, fourteen hundred miles up the Ganges, says that the people there who are able to keep their Rice, do not eat it until it is two years old and the soft part has been eaten out by the worm. Then they winnow it clean and eat it Rice is the common food, and the poor people are obliged to eat new Rice, as rich people do here. This gentleman says that d r ing his residence in India, there have been fa mines in the districts around him, in which mil lions of people perished. The famines result from the entire absence of rain for six months, and scorching rains which destroy all vegeta tion. The British Government are building a canal of great capacity, from the mountains in which the Ganges rises, down into the country seven hundred miles, at an expense of fifty mil lions of dollars, for the purpose of irrigating the land. The cost of the canal is to be paid from the revenues of India.— N. Y. Journal of Com. "nw i «nr rn rr£fHTinmr.t»jr»iiiMi r-.-.-wiao Special Notices. PR ESE STM ENTS or THE GRAND JURY OF COLUM BIA SUPERIOR COURT. MARCH TERM, 1818. We, the Grand Jury, chosen and sworn fur the present term, in closing our labors, beg leave to give some ‘expression of our feelings in reference to such matters as pertain to tbe public interest and prosperity. We have, by our respective committees, examined the records of our Courts—Superior, Inferior and Ordinary—and find the Books kept in very decent style, and records up to the commencement of the present term. From an examination of the report of the County Treasurer, we find a balance in favor of the county of seventeen hundred and seventy-ofio 52J-100 dollars. We find the Court-House in very bad condition, (notwithstanding the partial repairs recently made on it,) and deem it rather dangerous than otherwise. The Jail seems to have undergone a partial repair, and so far as we can discover, we consider it suffi ciently safe for ordinary purposes. We would sug gest to the proper authorities to furnish a mattrass in the Jail, for the comfort of prisoners. We, as a body, recommend that the Justices of the Inferior Court levy an extra tax of five per cent, on the State tax for the Education of the Poor ; and that the said Justices have the act of the Legislature on that subject enforced. We present us a grievance, that persons in clearing out and repairing their fences, throw tho bushes and pieces of rails into the ditches along the public roads, thereby filling up the ditches and causing more labor in repairing said roads. We present as a grievance the situation of the Bridge across Green Brier Creek at James Harriett’s Mill, ami recommend that the proper authorities have the same repaired. In taking leave of his honor Judge Holt, we ten der him our thanks for the judicious manner in which he has performed his duty, and for his courtesy to us as a btxly. We also tender our thanks to the Attorney General fur his politeness and attention. We request that these presentments be published in the Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel and Georgia Constitutionalist.

The success which has attended Hastings’ Naphtha Syrup, hi Decline, Consumption, Spit ting if Blood, Asthma, <fr., since its introduction into the United States, fully equals what it met with in Europe. Its use has been adopted in nearly all our larger hospitals; and the most eminent of our physicians have written highly favorable notices of it, nnd patronise it extensively in their private prac tice. Indeed, they have almost abandoned all other remedies tor the usual diseases of the lungs; and a single case has not yet been reported in which it has failed to give satisfaction and relief. If the reader is at all inclined to Consumption, or affected with anv of the diseases which are likely to produce it, let him I.Mte no time in procuring a bottle of HASTINGS' NAPHTHA SYRUP, and one or two doses will satisfy him of its surprising virtues, and that a short continuance of its use will restore him to health; for il not only cures in a brief period, but gives relief, and a warrant of its excellence and mastery over the disease m a few minutes after it is receiver into the system. Hence Sir James Clarke, the Court physi cian, remarks of it, that “in consequence of the bri-k am! unmistakeable energy nf its operations, no medi cine has sn much the confidence of patients as Hast ings’ Compiund Syrup of Naphtha.” Price $1 per bottle.

The remedy which we n»w oiFer —Wi slur’s Balsam of Wild Cherry—for the cure of this disease, not only emanates from a regular physician, but has also be*n well tested in ail the complaints for which it is recommended. It is nut my intention, therefore either to cloak it in mystery, or in any way deceive the public by overrating its virtues; on the contrary, I shall simply endeavor to give a brief statement of its usefulness; and flatter myself that its surprising effica cy will enable me to furnish such proofs of its virtues as will satisfy tne most incredulous that Consumption may and "can be cuiedf’ if this medicine be resort ed to in lime.

They are the most efficacious purgative and tonic yet discovered. The H’Lii Cherry is an excellent tonic, jaxsseasmg astringent ami aromatic properties, which make it valuable in Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Weakness of the Stomach and Chest. The Sarsaparilla is demulcent, dieurctic and soothing, and is given in Rheumatism, Scrofula, Dis eases of the Skin, and to eradicate the bad effects of Mercury. In the operations of all other purgative medicines debilitation and purification go hand in hand; they remove the good as well as the bad, thus weakening the system which they were only requir ed to cleanse, and making the cure, generally, al most as bad, and frequently much worse, than the disease. Dr. Leßoy’s Pills, on the contrary, strength en and tone the system which they purge and purify. And this is their peculiar attribute, and the pi incipul cause of their unrivalled popularity. P. S.—The virtues of the Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry are too well known to medical men and the community to require further detail. Price 25 cents per box. For sale by Haviland, Risley & Co..

THE SUBSCRIBER is belter prepared than ever before for manufacturing a SUPERIOR ARTICLE OF GINS, having procured better ma terials, better workmen and better machinery for do ing work, and added all new improvements suggest ed by past experience. The previous celebrity of these gins since his intro duction of the Patent Water Doxes, has increased their sales to over one thousand in a single season. No exertion willl be omitted necessary to render them worthy of a still higher reputation. Engagements can be made on accommodating terms either with his agents, who will call on plan ters generally, or by letter directed to him, at Clin ton, Jones county, Ga. mh!s-w6m» SAMUEL GRISWOLD. I'O THE COTTON PLANTERS OF GEORGIA. THE SUBSCRIBER continues to manufac ture his superior IMPROVED COTTON GINS, at his factory in Morgan county, on his usual exten sive scale. The liberal patronage he has received for the last few years has induced him this year to go to great additional expense in making preparations to fur nish the Planters with Gins far superior to any here tofore made. Those who wish it can have them with SUPERIOR WATER BOXES, which will prevent the possibility of their taking fire by friction. He also continues to use his OIL. CUPS OR FEEDERS, which he waS the first to introduce in this State, and which saves much trouble in oiling. The superiority of his Gins has been fully tested for the last few years in making fine cotton, and in ginning as fast as could be reasonably required, the cotton from them bringing the highest price in all the markets; and he trusts by unremiltmg attention to business, that he will continue to receive the liberal patronage of the cotton planters of this State, which it will be his highest ambition to merit. Contracts for his Gins may be made with his travelling agents, or by writing to him at Madison, where all orders will be promptly attended to, and his Gins are warranted to perform well in all respects, if used according to the directions sent with each Gin, and will be delivered at the purchasers’ residence. REPAIRING done in the best manner at short notice. JOSEPH WINSHIP.

IMPROVED ON WHAT WAS BEFORE CON SID E RED PERFECT. 11l AVE heretofore labored that my cotton gins should be thought superior to any manufactured in Georgia. By offering to the public such an article I have been liberally |»aironized, for which I feel grate ful. 1 have warranted all iny fine gins. 1 have never had one returned us not coming up to what 1 promised. Il is known I have, and do promise that my gins make superior cotton. 1 have no travelling agents. I rely on my gins telling a better tale for me, and one that will be sooner believed than a travelling agent; in short, 1 hope to make my gins sell themselves. 1 feel confident in stating that 1 have made valuable im provements in my line gins, and that I shall hereafter furnish an improved gin to anything heretofore sold. 1 would also inform citizens of Warren, Washington, Wilkes, Columbia and Burke comities, that 1 have purchased Simpson’s improvement for band machin ery, and those who purchase toy gins in the counties named will have the use of the patent free; the ma terial, when desired, will be put on the head block, free of charge. It will require a small outlay of ma terial on the band wheel, which will be furnished at the lowest possible rate, and which, when used, re duces the draft to an astonishing extent; me character of the improvement is simply by propelling the ma chinery by a slack band, instead of a tight one. My finest Friction Roller Gins are sold at $3 per saw. My plain gins are also greatly improved, and will be sold according to kind, from 82 to $2.50 per saw. My finest gins have heretofore sold higher than other gms, and yet, heretofore, 1 have not been able to supply the demand, whilst I have been unable to sell but few plain gins. Orders or letters, addressed to me atSpARTA, will be promptly attended to, and gins delivered al purchasers residences, free of charge GARRETT T. OGLESBY A BROTHER. Sparta, April 3. Certificates.
