Mr. Ctbb's Letter— S<ee».‘o“-
Tub only practical iwu« before ‘he people
of Georgia, involved in the discussion on t e
right of seeeasi >n, relate, to the conduct of the
Governor of Georgia i» “»• a “e'ghbonng
Stete should secede, and a rebellion for
troops be made by the Executive of the United
Slates. The position of Mr. Cobb in relation
to the fearful question tous raised, is in precise
conformi'y to true Republican principles, and
enlightened views of State sovereignty. He
firs’ explains the necessity, under existing cir
cumstancos, for Congressional action to precede
any Executive requisition. The necessity of
this action, would take the discre’ion entirely
from the control cf the Executive, and give the
people of the whole country the opportunity
to be heard. Georgia, as well as the remaining
States, would have a voice in the Congressional
decision. We believe that the conciliatory
course recommended by Mr Cobb, would be
the course agreeable to the wishes of all men
of all parties in Georgia, and in the South, and
that their influence would suffice to prevent
any Congressional action leading to collision.
Suppose, however, that question decided
otherwise, and that Congress should pars the
requisite law empowering the Executive to
make the requisition. What would be the
course proper to be pursued by a consistent
member of the Republican party? He who
will solve this q ies'ion without reference to the
positions of men, will find that Mr. Cobb's
letter accurately points out the proper course
A question would have answer as to the in
fraction of the Constitution. A sovereign State
would have decided it in one wsy The Gen
eral Government, as the agent of the remaining
States, would have decided it differently. Th-
General Government, in the opinion of the
Republican party, is net Ike final and czcltuwe
judge of the extent of its own powers. The
States, as sovereign States, are lie judges in
tie last resort, ot infractions of theConstitu
lion, and of the msde and measure of redress
In the momentous crisis which would have
arisen. Mr Cobb states that he, if Governor of
Georgia, not abiding by the decision of the
first and original tribunal, would appeal at
ones to the judge in the las’ resort, (so far as
bis action would be affected by the decision,)
tke sovereign people of the State of Georgia.
The voice of Georgia, her deliberate, twice
settled decision, he would thus tave the opp■■ j
tunity to bear, and by that decision he would
abide. If Georgia eho ild decide that the Con
stitution had not been violated, or lie just
powers of the General Government exceeded,
whatever her own will as to the mode and mea
sure of redress, for this vio a'.ion of the con
tract. She would be bound to abide by the
Constitutional law of the general Govern
ment, or else to assume the same hoe'ile posi
lion towards it unwarrantably assumed (accor
ding to that decision,) by the seceding State.
If she deemed that the State had good cause
for secession, she would not aid tlie General
Government in an iniquitous, and unjust at
tempt at coercion, but ally her fortunes with
the oppressed State, against a government
likely soon to become alm her own oppres
sor.
Such a colliaion as that brought about by
coercion would at once be against the wishes
and the judgment of Mr. Cota. The result
be apprehend would be the dissolution and
ultimate fall of the Union. But there is every
reason to hope that the kindly feelings enter
tains! towards the people of South Carolina,
by the people at least of the whole South—that
the shook to the Union a collision would pro
duce, fatal in all probability in Mr. Coss’s
opinion—the foreseen d faculties of the case,
even aside from the wishes of the remaining
States—wou'd result in a conciliatory policy
But the contrary supposition is not unprovided
for, in case it should occur.
The policy he proposes in case this crisis,
contemplated by the que.lions of the Macon
Committee, should arrive, is beyond the reach
of cavil. Its manifest justice, propriety, and
wisdom must commend itself to reflecting
minds of sll parties.
Gov. McDonald who, in At* recent bolt from
FaSeralum, acquired such Aeodutap as tn be un
able to come to a halt on the ground of Si/mite
RepeMicaniim, virtually asserts that no viola
tion of the Consti ution is requisite to Hta rigAt
of peaceable secession. He allows use seco
ding State not merely the ’ight to judge for
herself, but makes her decision obligatory up
on the General Government, tie proposed
to give Georgia no hearing io the ma ter. In
stead of giving to the sovereign people of the
State the opportunity to ba represented in
Convention '• upon that naked issue” —the
most mooentous which could arise—As would
decide the question for them. Toe tribunal
of last revert in a controversy of thia sort, it
not the executive of a State—nor the legisla
ture of a Stile—nor the judiciary—nor even
the entire State government. Then all its
departments shall concur unanimously in their
decision. The tribunal of last resort is the
sovereign people of the Sta’e in Convention.
Ought the appeal in such a case as this
—involving tho vital interests of the State and
the Union—possibly, nay probably involve
the issue of peace and war—to Le carried to
any other or lower thau tho judge io the last
resort T
The difference between th a position of the
Candidates for Governor upon this point, will
doubtless open the eyes of many persons to
the dangerous tendency of Gov. McDonald's
doctrines, and especially upon tho heresies
into which he desires to plunge the Uepublt
can party. The true doctrine of State rights
would give the State the right to be heard in
the crisis referred to. The policy proposed by
by Mr. Cobb is so consonant to Republican
principles, to wisdom, prudence, and the inter*
•sis and desires of the people of Georgia/hat
we doubt not, it will add greatly to the majority
of which he was otherwise sure.
Small Pox Report.
WOODVILLB, GbBBBB CoUMTY, ?
Au*. 30th. 1851 S
The committee of aafety, are hcppy to havo
it in their power to report that ibis disease is
still confined to the family of Mrs Crenshaw,
where it first made its appeanncs io this coun
ty. There has been ten cases in this family,
all of which are now convalescent, and doing
well They were of the varioloid and diet net
types, none ol tb<*m assuming a virulent or
malignant cast. The few in the family that
nave escaped have been thoroughly vaccina
ted, and re vaccinated, and we feel confident
that the disease is arrested. The guard is
still continued, and every necessary precaution
taken to prevent the infection f*o<u spreading,
and as soon as the patients are eß'iraly recov
ered, every necessary means will bo adopted
to disinfect the premises, and the public may
rely on the best exertions of this community to
carry oat every aieasure necessary to public
safeiy. We believe the danger is past, and the
nearest neighbors feel entirely secure now
from the pestilence. Dr. Williams reports the
five cases tn Batrdstown. Oglethorpe county,
which were coufiued to one family, and of me
distinct type, as convalescent and doing well,
and believes that the disease there is arrested,
and will not farther prevail.

Ths‘‘May ■as’’ Head oat of Diflionitl..
Wb desire to present to our readers an
apology for al! the misdeeds of the Constitu
tiooal Union party—of its members individu
ally and collectively —of ourselves—of all the
world and the rest of mankind. This apology
shall be done up in the new patent 'Consliiu
lionalist” “may h” or ‘ may hate keen” style
This method has sovereign virtue i i healing
past offences — in reconciling inconsistencies —
and is the grand panacea of all blunders, oral
or written. No matter what the offence;
no matter what the ev.dence ; no muter what
the law or what the penalty ; the “may be’’
remedy is “the sovereigneet thing on earth.”
We will suppose a case, for the purpose of
illustrating the mode of application of this
remedy. Suppose John r lhompscn to be
charged with the olfaaca of stealing the horse
of dames Jackson. Suppose A., B. and C.
to swear that they saw John Thompson steal
it, and O , E. and F. to swear that they heard
Thompson acknowledge the theft. John
Thompson would evidently be in a tight
place But mark how the “mar be” method
would instantaneously extricate him from the
whole difficulty. The attorney of John
Thompson, or John Thompson himself, wou Id
have but t» address the Jury as follows :
The only proof adduced to show that I
stile the herse. is the evidence of A., B. and
C. that they saw ms steal it, and of D., E. and
F. that they heard me acknowledge that I bad
sto en it.
“In the first place, A., B. and C. “may have”
bad no good opportunity for observation, or
they “may bare” been hasty in supposing it
to be roe. Eyesight is very deceptive, and
appearances are deceitful. As to the asser
tion represented to have been made by D., E
and F that they beard me acknowledge the
theft, my remark “may have” been little at
tended to by them at the time, or hastily re
ported. Again, it is evident that I “may have”
taken the horso “without noticing him du
ally” to see whether he was mine. Thera
“may have" been older and wiser heads along
with me when I took the horse (even conced
ing that Idid taka it) to whose opinions on the
subject of taking the horse, I * may have”
bowed wi h respectful deference. Human
memory is frail. They “may have” been
mistaken about my ever making any such
acknowledgment. If I had wri ten it down
and they could have produced it in writing.
then the case might have been made out.
“ The idea, however, is supremely absurd
of convicting me by such testimony as this.
We say this seen on the supposition, that A ,
8. and U. had on their spectacles, and took a
good look at mo. and that If., E. and F. have
repeated my rem rk as it wav made, in each
and every particular.”
Would not Thompson upon this applica
tion of ‘‘may be*a” ba clearly ent iled to ac
quittal T
We will now take the case of the Union
party, and suppose nut/ charge against that
party, with any amount es cvidsn e Sup
pose it charged with being in lavor of “Abo
inion, Csujuiidation and a Yankee King.”
There is ne evidence of this, but we will sup
pore that the Union party, in a Convention of
regularly appointed delegates, had adopted the
above language, and declared its approbation
of “abolition, coaso'i Jation and a Yankee
King,” as “Cenetitutional, timely and neces
sary.”
The Union man who had on hand a supply
of the may (re, would refute the charge thus:
“ Fi st tho proceedings of the meeting ‘ may
have been” incorrectly published, or they
“may have been harily adopted.” The reso
lutions “may havo boon” hastily composed by
those who offered them. Many members
“may have” acquiesced in tho resolutions
without noticing them critically. “There
were old veteran leaders in that meeting, to
whose opinions ’ the younger members “may
have bowed with respectful deference,*’ while
tarrying fortheir beards to grow ; or they may
have objected to the resolutions, but yielded to
their political friends of greater age and ex
perience ; or in a word, the resolutions may
be incorrectly reported.**
“ The idea is supremely absurd that tho
declaration of such a meeting*’ consisting of
only some 150 men apjointted as delegatus by
their fel!<>w-ciiizens, shou'd decide tho posi
tion of the Constitational Union party. “We
say this, sesn upon tho absurd supposition that
the delegates did, unqualifiedly, approbate the
resolutions, in each and every particular, after
care ul reading and lull deliberation.” What
right has the public to presume that men
“carefully raid and fully deliberate” upon
resolutions, before they adopt them ? Does
not a l experience prove that me:i cannot com
mit Ihemtelatg (o uny course of conduct, and
that inconsistency is an impossibility in its
own nature ? May not the delegates afore
said be, there'ore, regarded free from this
charge, no matter urhat the evidence brought
against them T”
The foregoing illustrations will perhaps
suffice to show that it makes no difference how
close the place—how overwhelming the evi
dance—how direct lhe pursuit—no mar er
whether the evidence be written or verbal—no
mat er for anv thing—lhe “may be” method of
getting out of difficulties is adequate to all
emergencies. Another of its virtues ia, that it
cammitt no body. No denial of the charge
made is at ail necessary. The application
may bo made in a hypothetical farm, an I it
cannot possibly involve lhe pal ent in any new
scrapo.
A remedy so universal and so innocent in its
application cannot fail to come into general
use with the great Southern R gh’s party,
standing in such naed of its healing efficacy.
Many quondam resistance men *miy hate"
been only in /un, or “may have been" merely
playing tAs Arng game. Many newspapers
which advocated “non intervention* may haul
meant “intervention,” as 1 merely made a mis
take in the words. Certain papers which
seemed to advocate the Compromise measures,
may kaus done so only by a mistake o f ths prin
ter, and the whale fault have ianat the MsbU’s
door.”
As the remedy is the invention of one of the
ingenious editors of our neighbor, the Consti
tutionalist &. Republic, and will doubtless be
applied to other desperate casas of its ewn, we
will be enabled to note ile progress, and keep
tne public informed of ai»y improvement (if
improvement be posvble ou what seems al
ready perfect) iu the remedy, or any new ap
plication of the earn?
The Obsolete Resolution.
Amon* the Reflations which the Southern
Rignt« parly —in ite zeal to blot out forever eld
party Jiatioctions, and unite Whigs and Demo
crate, on a common platform of principlea—
thought it necessary and proper to paac in the
May Convention, was the following :
10. Resolved, that the and safety of
thie Union depend upon a strict eonstruction of tbe
Constitution, and the salvation of the South now
han£s upon it. And beeausi we are -or the Consti
tution as it is, we oppose a United States B-nk—all
p> otective tariffs for pampering voe ••ctioo at t ie ex
pense »»l nie lur, all internal improv'incuts by the
General G and all le<is : ation by Cc ngrees
not itrietly and clearly allowed by lhe Cenetituuen
of the Uni ?n.
Was not ihst a Brilliant stroke of polity

claring Bank—Tariff—and Internal I uprose
monte, unconstitutional t Wr.at a broad door
for admission intv th. nameless party, did this
opsn to gentlsmeu who were not/ante in their

whieh so many tslcg gsal/esMW were robed in
Democratic garments was astonishing. That
so many shield have been convinced aimu'ta
ueously and so opportunely, in the language of
Mr. Wxllkk, was a "rsmaikable co incidence !
—wery ”
lu order to develops and bring out in a
stronger light ths hidden meaning of the Res
olution. we wi'l make a rather prolix para
phrase. preserving the spirit of the original,
but making the drrk places bright.
RtMlved, That in the praseut emerge ary
(standing in need of tweuty-fivs th.u.and
votes) w. ar. tn favor es the Constitution in
general, and Southern Rights in particular;
and because we are in favor of the Constitu
tion as it is (ml moreover because we woull
like exceedingly to get back into that snug and
well filled organisation, the Democra ts party,
aad hops to catch Democrats, without losing
whigs, by the following resolution, as our
whig braihran are accsmss listing. and have
strong stomachs) we proclaim tbs following to
be our pnnaiplss:
Ist. In order to omit imotafenal pointi we
mske ne issues on Union or Disunion—on ac
tual Sec*>ololl—on the establishment oi a
Soit'hern Confederacy, or on ths eall of a
Southern Congress. Beea-tse of the perfect
irrelevancy and immateriality thereof, we make
do issues upon ths resolutions ot the conven
lien of last year, commonly called the Georgia
Platform. Upon t edress—upon nonintsr
course—upon the repeal of Meiicaa laws —
upon futnrs aggressions—we make no points.
AH three issues have had their day. They
•re gone —dead—boned. Buried like Moses
of old—where no man knoweth the spot
Resistance is dead, redress forgotten. As for
Southern R gbts—its »sd» and its some are
gone, and is very Ghost eta’ks about under an
alias. Our assess. Us tssa’s */ SenUsra
Rtgaia Party. are practical aed pertinent
I pun the great question wh*ah doss dsstrad
•ad eguers the popular mind of tie present
dog— we mean the question of a National
bank—on the solution of which the salvation of
the South bangs, and in comparison with
which “negroes” are no where—we boldly
and proudly proclaim our position. We are
against a National bank, “because wears in
1 favor of the Constitution as it is.” The dread
ful ferment of the National mind cannot be
allayed—there can be no peace for the South—
until thia question is settled Our motto is—
’ down with Nick Biddle, and the National
Bank *
And since prodigioas efforts are now made
in Gtargia against the present tariff—since the
Representatives from Georgia nccko it the
subject of their political speeches—and the
press teems with nothing else—herefore we
proclaim our deadly opposition to “all protec
i tive tariffs for pampering one section at the
eipense of another.” And we loal the more
safe in the doing this (which wo would bo bold
to do anyhow) because as it never was the
avowe I object of any tariff “to pamper
one section at the expanse of another,” we
think we can give offence to nobody by de
nouncing any tariff enacted for such a purpose.
On the subject of Internal Improvements,
we seize this opportunity of declaring our
sentiments, because the policy has grown un
popular, and is opposed by many who formerly
advocated it. As this is the cats and the dan
ger diminished, hereby we pronounce the
South insecure on that paint. The danger is
imminent, and the Soaih peculiarly exposed
to it.
Planting ourselves therefore on the abstract
right of lucking out from our cargains when*
ever ws ftel like it is necessary and proper—
and en 'he three great living and exciting is*
sues above named—wo hope to get the votes
of all those who, as a screen for themselves,
would like an example es State repudiation, and
to catch such Rip Van Winkle Democrats, as
believe the existing National Bank a great evil
—and supposing Nick Biddle still alive, are
after him with a sharp sword.”
Gov. McDoualffl —Tlie Tmsbcls Case.
Thk desire to see the action of the Legisla*
lure and the position of Gov. McDonald on
the Tassels cave, has induced ns to copy it
entire from the Journal of the House of
Representatives for 1830, pages 441,447, 448,
449 and 450.
Tassels was a Cherokee Indian, living in
that part of the aation which had been attach
ed to the county of Hall, under the law of
Georgia extending criminal jurisdiction over
the territory occupied by the Indians. He had
committed a murder by killing another Indian,
was tried in the Superior Cour; for toe Coun
ty of Hall, convicted and sentenced to be
hanged. The object of the mandate of the
Supreme Court was to arrest the execution.
Whon it isreflecied that Governor McDon
ald, who was a representative from the county
of Bibb, had always been an open and avowed
Fedtralist, who denied all soveregnty io the
Slates, and claimed for the Supreme Court ju
nsdiciion of all questions involving the rights
and sovereignty of the States, his position in
the Tassels 1 cas3 will be readily accounted
for.

to appeal before tire Supreme Court on the second
Monday in January next, to answer to that tribunal,
for having caned a person who hid committed a

convicted therefor.
The object of this mandate, is tz> control the State
in the exercisecf its ord-nary jurisdiction, which in
criminal cas*s has baen vested by the Constitution
exclusively in its Superior courts.
So far us concerns the exercise of the power
which belongs to the Executive Department, orders

slaying or in any manner interfering with the decis
ions of the Courts of thia State, in the exercise of
their Constitutional jurisd ciion, will be disregarded,

The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Mr. Hayne? from the committee to whom was
referred ths communication of the Governor of this
evening, presente 1 a report, wh’cb, being read as
follows :
Whereas, it appears by a communication made by
b's Excellency the Governor, to this Generxl Assem
bly, that the Chief Justice of the Supreme court of
the United Slates has sanctioned a writ of error, and
cted the Slats of ■ Georgia, through her Chief Mag
intra!e, to appear before tie Supreme court of the
United S'atca, to defend this State against said writ
•f Error, at the instanca of oneGeoige Pastels, re
cently convicted in Hall county Superior Court, of
the crime ol murder.
An i whereas, the right to punish cr raes against
the peace and good order of this State, in accordance
with existing laws, is an original and necessary part
of sovereignty, which the Stale ol Georgia has never
parted with
lie it therefore resolved by the Senate and House
of Represm'ahDcs of the Stale of Georgia, in
General Assembly met * I hat they view with feel
inj»eof the deepest regret, the interference by ths
Chief Just ice cf the Suprems court of the United
Slates, in ttio administration of tlio criminal laws
of this State, and th it such an interference is a fix
grant violation of her right.
Resolved further, That his excel'ency the Gov
ernor be. and lie and every oth-r officer of this State
is hereby requested and enjoined to disiegard
any and every mandate and process that has
been or shall be served upon him or them, purport

A-.d be it further Resolved, That his Excellency
ths Governer be, and hets hereby authorised enl
required with ait ths force and means placed at hs
command by ihe Coneldution and laws of this State,
to resist an i repel every invasion from

criminal laws of ibis State.
R&soved, That the S-ate of Georgia will never
so far cempromit the sovereignty a» an indepe i ient
State, ae <e become a party to tho cauie sough' to be
made before the Supreme court of lhe United Slates,
by t! e writ in question.
Resoved, i hat his Excellency the Governor be,
and ho is herewith authorized to communicate to the
Sheriff of Hail county, by express, so much of the
foregoing resolution*, ani such or.leie as are ne
cessary to insure the full execution of tbe laws in the
ease of George Tassels, convicted of n ur Jer io Hall
ocunty.
Mr. Turner offered the following as a substitute to
said report, to wit :
Whereas the circumstances under whi • h the ci'a
tion to the State, fr'in the Supremo Court of the
United States in the case of I'aeeelle, an Indian, con
victed of murder in ihe Superior Court of Hall coun

whereas, the General Assembly have confidence in
the intelligence of the Executive and Judicial De

HAVANA DATES TO THE 23D.
LOPEZ REPORTED SI'CCESSFTL IM
EVEKY ENGAGEMENT.
From the Savannah Republican.
By the arrival yesterday at this port of the
schr Merchant. Capt. Westendorff, from Ha
vana, whence she soiled on the22d ult, we are
in icceipt of further advices from Cuba, which
confirm the reports previously received of the
battles between the Spanish Troops and the
Patriots under Gen. Lopez, in which ihe lat
ter were victorious. We cannot rely upon
the ordinary channel for news from Havana,
but the information we have received, though
very scanty, we believe to be from a source
which may be fully relied upon. We aro in
formed that General Enna, the Ist in command
of the Spanish troops and 2nd in command of
the Island, was killed by the Patriots in the
battle of the 17:h, together with four or five
hundred Spanish troops. Gen. Enna’s body
was exposed in state two days at Havana aud
was afterwards buried with great pomp.
We learn also that Gen. Lopez was every
where successful, and was inarching towards
Havana with a fo.ee of 1,500 to 2,000 men,
and was in position cast of Mariel. The Cre
oles at Havana were highly elated at Lopex’s
success, and they aro daily making accessions
to his army. American vessels are closely
searched, and a strict watch is constantly kept
upon all American citizens on the Island.
There are reported to bo only about 700 Spao
sh troops at Havana. The accounts of the
death of Gen. Enna explains the report
received here of a despatch having been put
on board the Cherokee, just before Failing
from Havana to tha Spanish duiniste.* at Wash
ington, informing him of ft e capture of Gan.
Lopez. We presume the despatch to (he
Spanish minister related to the daath cf Gen.
Enna and not to Gen Lopez as has been re
ported. General Enna was not instantly ki'l
ed, but was wounded in one of his legs, from
which he died th* day after the battle.
The reports of the inhuman massacre of
Cel. Crittenden’s command and the cruelties
and outrages perpetrated upon their bodies
are fully confirmed.
By the Merchant we have received our regu
lar files of the Faro Industrial, to the 20:b ult
We learn from this paper that on the 17 h,
the Cap’ain General distributed brevets,&c. to
thirty five officers and soldiers whe were
wounded in the battle of Las Lozas.
It also contains an official communication
of the Captain General, dated the 19th, which
states that General Enna was dangerously
wounded in a battle with Lopez, at a place
called Carambola.
We also find an official proclamation, which
we have translated :
Military Secretary’s Office.— “His
Excellency the Governor, Conimandante Gen
eral of the Central Department, sends the
Captain General the follow ng official comma
aica’ion, dated Puerto Principe, 1J Aug :
“ Excellent Sir :—On ’his day have been
shot in the back the following named prison
ers, for high treason agsinst the Government:
Don Joaquin Aguero y Aguero, Don Jose
Thomas Be'ancount, Don Fernando de Zayas,
Don Miguel Benavides, which is published by
order of His Excellency, for general informa
tion. Px dro Esteban.
Havana, August 18,1851.
We find in the Faro a full list of a’l the offi
cers of Gen Lopez’s force, which we publish
below. We find a statement of the number
of his men as follows :
6 companies of Inft’rv, (including officers) 219

Tn a Storm in Florida.—Tne Tallahassee
Sentinel i f tho 26 h ult. contains the follow
ing aeoount of the late Sto-oi and its effects in
Tallahassee and the vicinity.
On Friday evening last a lurid and threat
eni g horizon attracted universal attention in
town, and the weatherwiso prognosticated a
■term. About six o’clock thore was a violent
squall from the South East and a tramendon i
shower Ira little while, the squall ceased,
hut it continued to rain copiously all night, till
about five Saturday morning. Commencing
again at 8 j the wind also began to rise from the
Eastward, the horizon to thicken up—scuds to
fly and every sign to betoken “a blow.” The
rain poured down literally in tor'tuti, wi h
only occasional slight intermissions, t II abou*
sunrise on Sunday morning. By twelve
o’clock, noon, on Saturday, the wind had
veered to the South East and was blowing a
gale. Atone the trees began to give way.
ut two still veering Southward, the blasts were
rapidly increasing in violence, and worse evi
dently coming. From tnree to six a- half past,
the cry was ‘ stan ’ from under.” Tall forest
oaks were uprooted or merely su-pped asun.
der China trees stood no chance—fences were
prostrated—tin roofing peeled up like paper—
roofs torn up—brick bats flying—and altogeth
er such a general scatteraiion taking place, as
is not often seen. From six to ten o'clock
there was no increase in the force of the gale ;
but, if anything, an abatement From ten to
iwo.it piped up again and blew ‘‘great guns’
The night was too dark to note the iniscliiafin
progre-s, except as it happened just around
one; but the howliug. hissing, whistling,
moaning and groaning of the blasts ware very
well calculated to excite lively apprehensions
of general misfortune.
The gale had pretty much abated at four,
and daylight disclosed a novel spectacle. The
vtreutw wera «ll obalrucia-l witfa prasairato tree-4
and the ground covered wi h twigs, boughs,
leaves and ‘ whippings,” froai everything th at
grows. In a little walkabout ’he vi lag*, we
noted the following : The Capitol—the tin
roofing of he poriicoa torn off, a window
blown in the representative hall and general
miafortnna among the glas«. Bond’s Ware
house (brick)—unroofed and blown down.
Wilson’s“Exehange’ building—lin peeled off.
unroofed and timbers of the roof scattered in ali
direction-. City Hetel. piazio partly blown
down. Miller & Brokaw’s large cables—
East half untinned. M 'Mullin'HSorner, occu
pied ty Meevre. ('lark and Be*twrick, as stores,
partially unroofed. The brick and slated
building occupied by Mes*rs Ki d n, half
unroofed and very badly injured R. Hay
ward’s new store? houaes partly uulinued and
roof started. Market house blown d.iwn An
Person’s new brick dwc.lmg house, (unfinish
ed) gibe ends aud chimneys blown down.
Several kitchen an J other chimneys were pros
strated and various other injuries were inflicied
too numerous to mention. The fence* were
in a state of woful dilapidation, and the pros
trate shade trees were almost past counting
One citizsn tells us he has eighteen upon his
own premises, which aro not extensive. The
tin roofing generally fared badly and more
stores woii’d have been unroofed but for a
timely securing with ropes. The damage
done to goods in store is supposed to be small.
From the country, we hear that the road?
in all directions are obstructed with fallen tim
ber. Tho quantity blown down is beyond al!
precedent. The damage done to plantation?
and maturing crops by such a fi >od and hurri
cane is supposed to be very great. We be
lieve more rain never fell iu the same length of
time since Noah’s day.
From below we have bad accounts, but wi!l
wait further information It is stated, however,
that the buildings ai tit. Marks, with the excep
lion of the raikoad ware houses and Holl*?
Hotel are gone They were *ew, however, and
generally of small vane. The floor of tbe
ware houses were boaten out and the good?
s ored therein all floated away or sunk. At
New Bort, there is said to have been about eix
feet of water in town. The steamer Spray
drawing four feet, took passengers through
he streets to the Hofei, the first doer of which
was covered a foot. The greatest sufferer i?
report-id to be Mr. in whose store house
the water is said to have dashed over the conn
ter. His Io s is estimated at $6 91)0 Mc-
Naught de. Ormond are reported to have sus
tained damage to Che anount ot $3 000. These
are first reports, and we hope that later infor
mation m?y put a brighter aspect on affairs.
No lives lost, anywhere, so lar as yet learned.
We hope and trust this a orm has not been
expensive ; but if it raged along the Gulf ani
Atlantic coast with the same violence, a gre.nt
destraction of life and property must have ta
ken place.
At St Marks and Newport the water rose
beyond all precedent, and several small houses
were washed away a: 3t. Marks, the water
was two feet deep in the Warehouses. Ths
Railroad terminus was flooded The people
took refuge on a train of baggage cirs, which
they rescued on phnks aud in b-a’.s, and
pushed up into the higher pins woods. A:
Wak’iHa a steamer drawing four feet water
passed up the streets. Immense damage was
doue among ihe timber, the roads f r miles
being tried with fallen trees, in some cates
pred up ten feet high upon each other Ina
distance of IU miles ISO were counted that had
fallen so as to obstruct the road. The light

good demand, but as holders have offered their stocks
very sparingly, the sales have been limited and pri
ces very firm and full. Sales of Good Middling
have been made at 8} cts. The market closes firm
and without change in its character.

GROCERIES.—The supply of Groceries has
very much increased and our dealers have already

why the receipts in August appear
so large are that the shipments to Factories in this
vicinity, which have been poing on throughout the
year, amounting to 7.995 bales have not been here
tofore included in the statement, and that our pre
vious repor’s of shipments to Savannah and Cbarles
ten fell short of the actu d shipments as appears by a
carel'd investigation 7,805 bales, thus making up
15,800 bales of the apparent receipt- in August.
SAVANNAH. >ept. 2.-*<reneraZ Remarks. —
The commercial year just closed has been one of
almost constant excrement in the Cotton market.
On the first of September last year we quoted fair
Cottos st 13 cts., now our quotation is 8 cents. The
rnaiket opened st a high figure, in consequence of the
general teliei that tie crop would not much exceed
Uut of the previous year, and that by this I me,
there would be a very small stock, in the manufac
turing markets. Prices were well sustained for some
time, out the h;g rates caused the stoppage of many
of the New England mills, and f rev nted some new
establishment f urn go.ng in o operation. Tne En
glish manufacturers alsc worked short time, tod
only bough; to supply present necessities. Tire crop
bat exceeded the general estimates, and we find the
stock ia Liverpool (Aug. 8) 162,000 bales greater
than last year instead of be.ng less. The stoci*
of American is 178,V00 bales more than last year.
While no part cf the Cotton region promises en ex
tra yield, there is a good pruepect of a fair crop in
everv State. Georgia suffered eons dtrably from
drought tn the early pan. of the season, anl some
eec.i us have been dry ail summer. The recent
heavy storm has cone considerable injury but to what
extent we are nX now able to stale. Alabama, Missis
sippi and Tennessee have all suffered far the want
of ram, and both toe Cctton and Corn crops have
L>een much injured. A favorable Fall will help the
Cotton a little, but these States cannot make an av
erage crop. The Ricecrcp o r Georgia premises to
be an abundant one, ibe fields, so far us we have
beard, no: having been much injured by the late
storm.
The State of Georgia has been favored daring ths
past summer, with good health in every region, and
this remark applies particularly to Savannah. The
recent cool weather has given every one invigotated
rre’-gth, end there are strong indications of an early
opening of fail business of aii kinds, except for Cot
ten. the present low prices offering a poor induce
rase: to toe planters to send their crop forward.

Sea Islands.— The growing crop promises fair
though the recent storm has done it some injury.
No sales have been reported this month. The stock
<n hand is stow 700 bales. The stock of Upland is
larger than we expected. When we counted the
stock on ths first of June, there was such a fear of
a large stock which would have added a few bales to
the general crop, that some holders were not careful
to make a return of all then on hand.
Rice. — The market has been very dull all the past
month, the sales only amounting to 350 tierces at
21 to 32 15-16 per 100 lbs. The Planters have com
menced harvesting, and the weath;r is now favor
able for their operations.
Flour.— We have had none but retail transactions
to notice this month.
Corn. —The market is now well supplied, and we
notice sales of about 10,000 bushels at 75 a 90 cts.
Groceries.— About 300 bags Rio Coffee hove
been sold since our last report, at 9a 91 cts. 100
bbls. N. O. Whiskey at 27 cts., and a small lot sf
N. O. Sugar a’ 61 cts.
Racon.— The market is well supplied and we
notice the following sales; 24 hhds Shoulders at 9 ;
30 do Sides at 11 ; and 50 do do at 111 cts.
Bagging and Bale Rope.— We have no laige
sales to report, we quote Gunny at 14j a 14f ; Ken

from the wharf at 31.25.

Coastwise are very dull. To New York the rates
are for Cotton, 50 cts. per bale. No vessel up for
Boaton. To Philadelphia Jo. per lb. for Cotton aud
to Baltimore nominal-
CHARLESTON, Sept. I.—The general market
has been quiet since the date of our last report, and
the transactions in most branches of trade have been
on a very limited scale. Cotton, it will be seen, Las
advanced in value, owing to the faet that the stock is
light, and held at prices beyond the reach of buyers.
The Rice market on the other hand has been de
pressed, and a lower range of prices have been sub
mitted to. We have, as usual, at the close of the
year, taken an account of stock and have corrected
our tables accordingly.
Preparations are making in all directions for the
fall trade, and from present indications, we are in
duced to be'ieve that the campaign will open early.
Several recent arrivals from Europe have put our
merchants in possession of their goods much earlier
than usual, besides which, their stocks are dai v in
creasing by shipments from coastwise ports, showing
as well assorted and ns general a stock of merchan
dize as can be found in any city in the Union With
th) knowledge of these facts, we would invite the
attention us merchants from th2 surrounding Stages to
mike our city a visit before purchasing elsewhere,
as we feel assured that they san make their purcha
ses on liberal terms.
Cotton.— The Cotton market since our publication
of the 22d ult. has presented a quiet appearance,
which is to be attributed to the very limited supply
in the hands of factors, and the high prices at which
this residue of the receipts at this port is held, amoun
ting as it does at the close of the year, to only 5,459
bales. There was some little inquiry for the article
at the open ng of the week, but buyers were unable
to much progress in their purchases, from the
sensitive state cf the market, owing to the causes as
signed above; and the transactions of Friday and
Saturday did not reach 409 bales; they were, final
ly, however, compelled to yield to circumstances they
could not control, and the market on Monday pre
sented rather an active appearance, the sales during
that day having reached 800 bales, taken at a higher
range of prices than bad been previously paid. The
demand, however, seems to have closed]with ths day,
as the transactions subsequently have been on a very
limited scale, which is to be attributed in a great
measure to the high position assumed by sellers in
relation to prices. There was so little done for sev
eral days preceding the one on which we closed our
report, that we found it impossible at the close of bu
siness to arrange a list of prices that would give gen
eral satisfaction, and those we offer below, must, un
der existing circumstances, be considered nominal.
Ths transactions since cur last report may be put
down as follows, viz : Friday 27 bales; Saturday
317; Monday 800; Tuesday 209; Wednesday 81;
Thursday 154 ; Friday 146; and Saturday 00—ma
king an aggr gate of 1727 bales, against the receip I
in the same time of 1695 bales. The sale- comprise
5 bales at 5j ; 159 at 6;4at6f ;30 at
61; sat 7; 2at 7|; 323 at 7j ; 37 at 7|; 9at 7|;
165 at 8 ; 122 at 8} ; 31 at 8|; 208 at 8|; 49 at 8& ;
141 at 8} ; and 14 bales at 9 cents.
We quote inferior 6 a 7 ; Ordinary to Good Or
dinary, 7} a ( 7j ; Middling to Good Middling 7| a
8| ; Mid diing Fair 8j a 8j ! Fair and Fully Fair,
9a ; Choice none. The receipts of new Cotton
thus far comprise 11 bales, which have not been
sold. Nothing was done in the descriptions classed
under the head of Long Cotton, and the week bid
fair to be as quiet as several that had ; receded it ; a
severe storm, however, raged throughout Sunday last,
which it was thought would injure the crop, and a
demand subsequently sprang up, which resulted in
the eale of 300 bales, at a decided improvement on
former prices. The sales were aj extremes ranging
from 15 to 30c., as in quality.
Rice. — The receipts since our last, comprises
1086 tierces, and the sales made were at extremes
ranging nt 2 j to 33 per hundred pounds.
Corn. — The receipts of Corn since our report of
the 22d ultimo, have been very heavy, amounting
as they do to upwards of 55.000 bushels. The mar
ket opened at the following quotations viz : yellow
and mixed lots 65 a 73; white 75 aBO ; and the ear
ly arrivals were sold within this range of prices, as
the supply, however, increased, the market became
tower range of fi-nrA« were
submitted to, and prices al this redaction were un
settled at the close of business with about 10.000 a
15,000 bushels unsold. We quote nominally, yel
low and mixed lots. 60 a 65, and white 65 a 70c.
Among the sales noticed above was a cargo of prime
whits North-Carolina, which was sold on terms that
have not been a lowed to transpire.
Oats. — There Lave been no arrivals this week.
There is a good supply on hand. The last sales
were made at 37 and 37|c.
Flour. — There has bean quite a heavy accession
to the stock of Flour the receipts since our last hav
ing reached fully 2,500 bbls. The market has con
sequently been depressed, and holders in some in
stances have submitted to a decline of | to f of a dol
lar in order to effect sales. The transactions have
been confined principally to Bjltimore brands, at
prices ranging from 4| to 34| per barrel.
Bacon. — There has been a good demand for
Sides, last, and prices have further advanced.
Among the sales were two lots of 130 hhds. which
were cold to arrive, at 10} ard 11. Shoulders have
been selling in small lots ut prices ranging from 8 to
8j cents.
Lard — is very scarce.
SaZL —There have been but few transactions in
this article, since our last rep.rt. The supply is
confined solely to store lots, fr< m which the demand
is being supplied at prices ranging from 900 to 31
per sack.
Baggingand Rope.— The demand for these arti
cles has been quite limited.
Groceries. — The demand for the leading articles
comprised under this head has been limi.ed, and in
deed so few have been the transactions, that the
market may be said to have been brought to a stand.
The only sales that we have heard ot was a small
lot of Forto Rico Sugar which brought 7jc; and
150 bags Rio Coffee which sold at 9}c. The stock
of Sugars in first hands may be said to be exhausted
and the trade have been supplying themselves from
Northern markets Un'ess ths supply is consider
ably augmented, the market must open at compara
tively high prices. The receipts coastwise si ice our
last reach 450 hhd . of various descriptions, and
upwards of 1500 bags Coffee.
Domestic Liquors.— The stock consists princi
pally of New Orleans Whisky, of which there is a
go d supply on sale. Common rectified Las been
selling in small lots at 24 and 24 j per gallon.
Exchange.— Checks on the North j pet cent,
premium.
I'r eights. - The Freight market continues in a
very languid condition, in consequence of the very
limited amount of produce offering, and any quota
tions that we might would be altogether nomi
nal. In order to strengthen this arjertion, we would
remark, that Cotton to Liverpool, in square bags,
cue, or some weeks, been quoted at 5-16ibs an 1
}d. but an offer was made within a few days to take
500 bale? at a less rate.

PROOF COTTON GIN, i. cJ lnßlb il G.
I will inform the Planters that I have invented asslfl
oiling oox, which I use to «v Gins, nn d will gin
from 75 to ICO bale? with one tisse oiling, free of
heat. The above boxes are my own invention. I
will warrant rny 50 saw Gins to gin from 1000 to
1500 pounds of Lint per day, with good gear and
good attention in the month of September ond Octo
ber, and make fair Cotton, accerding te the Ce ton
before ginned, for $2 25 per saw, delivered at the
purchaser’s residence. I will warrant clean seed,
and take out the motes, and run aelig'4 as any ether
Gin now in use. I will state that I can find a gen
men who base Gin from a Water Gin Fee tor y ; ho
hauled his meats from his Gia to one of my Gins,
and had his moats ginned over on one of oay Gins.
After he tun through, he sold it last year for 11 cents
per lb., some 300 lbs.; so it will be to the Planter’s
interest te get Gins to moat well, and leave but lit
tle lint on the mats and pick (he seeds clean. By
such Gina, they will save in some */00 bales, say
375 te 3109.
I will give any purchaser a trial on one of my
Gina, to gin ten bales, and if it dont give satisfaction,
notify sae forthwith, and if I dont make it perform
we'l, I will take it back and put one in its place that
will perform well. All my 45 saw Gins will run by
two good mules, if the gear is good.
N. B. —If any gentleman wishes to take my Gins,
please send in their ordersan l they shall be attended
to forthwith. My address is White Oak P. 0.,
Columbia county, Ga. I will give a few references
from those gentlemen who have long used my Gins
as well as to ths quality cf Cotton say Gins make.
I wilt make the following banter to the Age ts and
owners of Gins, where their agants have interfered
with my engagements in this State or South Caro
iiua. I will ran 11 of my Gin* against 11 of theirs,
for one hundred dollarson each Gin, and one thou
sand dollars on ths best 6 out of 11 Gins, to be deci
ded by 12 gentlemen.
in the first place, to gin fast and pick the seeds
clean, and takeout the most moats and leave the
leas*, lint on them, und simple the best in Augusta,
and turn ont the most lint per hundred poen ls of
seed Lotton and run the lightest; and I will bet one
hundred dollars I can gin on one of the same Gina
from 1500 to 1800 lbs. in 12 hours; say all theGrs
shall be 50 saws, and the saws shall be the same size,
and run by the same gear and same mules, and
drove the same sj eed. THOS. WYNNE.
N. B.—Always fill the self-oiling Loxes with lard
or tallow, if you want your Gin to do well, and run
free of heat.
CERTIFICATES.
Babnwiu,, So. Ga., June 30tb, 1851.
Mr. Thos. Wynne— Dear sir: In regard to my
influence, and relative to your Gins, it appears that
t he people aro hard to be convinced, that your Gins
are the best that is made. I have done and said all
t hat I could in praise of your Gins, and will contin
ue to do so. 1 have told the people that I rather
p ay you what your Gins cost than to have any oth
er man’s make given to me for nothing, and when I
say so, I talk in earnest and tell the truth at that.
I sent you a certificate to have published, but have
never seen it in the papers. Directly after I sent it,
1 taw you had your public ation stopped. Dear sir,
if you should see fit to advertise your Gins again,
you can fill out a certificate to suit your own fee'-
ings, and put my name to it. The reason why ,1
give you the liberty to fill out a certificate for me i«
because 1 do not think anything can be said in
praise of your Gins unwortibly. My Gin make?
as good Gotton as any Gin can make. I gin every
day 4 bales, each weighing 400 pounds, and do not
have to push at that. I ginned last year upwards
of ICO bales, with one filling of the self-oiling box
es, and there was enough oil in the boxes to gin five
times the number of bales, free of heat at that. 1 f
such Gins at that do not deserve praise, I should
like to know what kind of a Gin would need praise.
Yours very respectfully, Wm, Ashley.
Edoefield District, S. C., July 5, 1651.
I do hereby certify, that I bought a 50 Saw Fire-
Proof Cotton Gin in 1849, of Mr. Thos. Wynne, of
Columbia county, Ga.; lam well pleased wth its
performance, and the quality i: makes the Cotton,
as I always get the highest market price, according

This is to certify, that the samples drawn from a
let es Colton in our Warehouse, owned by Mr. J. S.
Briscoe, of Columbia county, which he says was
ginned on one of Thom is Wynne’s Gins, in point
of ginning is very superior, and we consider equal
to any brought to this market.

1 do hereby certify, that the Cotton which is al
luded to in the above certificate of Hopkins
&■ Co,, of oaiae, was ginned on one of Mr. Thomas
Wynne’s make of Gins. J. S. Briscoe.
Columbia County, July 3rd, 1851.
1 do hereby certify, that I have bten using one of
Mr. Thomas Wynne’s make es Cotton Gins for three
or four years, and am well pleased with its perform
ance, and believe it to ba one of tne best Gins I ever
saw. It makes very fine Cotton, and gins 'ast, und
picks the seed clean. Guilford Alford.
Taliaferro County, Ga., July 24.
I do hereby certify, to the beet of my recollection,
that I purchased from Mr. Thomas Wynne es Col
umbii county, Ge., a 42 saw Gin in the year 1832
I have used it ever since that time, and it is a very
O.n y«t. I nave ginned on huiU Oin between
1500 and 2000 bales, and it has cost me two
wfieii.iugb duiiatg chat time, and the first time was by
said Wynne. 1 have always been able to get the
highest market pries in Augusta for the Cotton gin
ned on said Gin, according to quality before ginned.
I would recommend all persons that want to pur
chase a good Gin, to try Mr. Wynne’s, os they last
a leng time with little repairing and work well. 1
think persens trying Mr. Wynne’s Gias will be well
pleased. Wm. Gunn.
Let thia certify, that I have used one of Mr.
Wynne's Cotton Gins for the last two years, and it
performs to my entire satisfaction ; end, us an evi
dence of its good performance, I always get tbe
highest market price for my Cotton. As yet there
is no perceptible wear on the breast of tbe Gin,
which is a prorf of its durability. A few weeks ago
1 was in Mr. Thomas Wynne’s machine shop, anl
«aw Gins in al. stages of pragreseion, from the be
ginning to the finish, and from the good materials
that were put in them enJ the faithful workmanship,
1 caa recommend them as first rate Gins.
Attached to these Gins are water boxes and oil
feeders, which make them fira-proof from friction.
But they have another proof, I think, (at least mine
has it,) whiah is not the least of all proofs and pro
perties of Gins, viz : they are negro proof; foi all ths
awkwardness and carelessness of a negro, won’t put
it out of order.

Wynne. Pbter Knox.

E HKSPECTRULL Y call the attention

above celebrated Water. Wneel.
Vendors of Patents frequently attempt to intro
duce their articles to the public with high-eounding
Promisee and loud praises, which mean nothing.
2> r - Rich, on the contrary, has always been ready
end frequently offered to test th. capabilities of hie
Wheel, against all o.bers, under any named forfeit

now accepts the challenge of others, and presents
even more tempting 08 - erj . We „ e P to en _

Montgomery, April 2, 1851.
BEWARE OF HUMBUGS!
My attention having been called to an advertise
meat in your paper, over the signature of Jagger
Treadwell <& Perry, challenging all other wheels'
I now declare myself prepared to accept the chal
lenge upon all the grounds specified, naming SSOO
as the sum upon each point.
Ist. I will bet 3500 that no other wheel, patented
or not, wiH give out as large a per centage of power,
under a like head and volume of water.
2d, That no wheel can be more durable.
3d. That no wheel can be more simple.
4th. That none is cheeper.
sth. That no wheel is more steady.
6th. That the Rich Wheel is wholly superior La
the Vandewater Wheel.
And again. There being those who are disposed
to question the fact that tbe Rich Wheel dischargee
but half its measurement of apertures. I will bet
31,000 that the discharge does not exceed one-hall
the apertures on a well constructed and adjusted
Rich Wheel, actus! experiment having demonstra
ted that it discharges in reality but 2-sths of the
apertures, so that a wheel measuring “ 400 inches
in its discharge apertures” really vents less than
2001 The depth of the water in the tail race, is no
criterion for estimating the quantity discharged, un
less reference is had to the speed with which it runs
off. For example: from the ordinary flutter-wheel,
under 10 feet head, the water runs off at the rate of
18 to 20 feet per second. From my Whetl, under
same head, it runs off at less than } of this speed,
and from this consequent slowness oi motion, a thou
sand gallons per minute, from my Wheel, would cre
ate as much depth in the tail race as four thousand
from the flutter- weel from which the water runs with
quadruple rapidity
Bear in mind, therefore, that unless speed is
regarded, the depth in the tail race is no criterion
id hat ex es of quantity, and that the only true esti
mate 13 to ascertain what aperture, alongside, or un
der the same head and pressure with the wheel, will
exhaust a given number cf gallons of water in the
same space of time. REUBEN RICH.
P. S. Having just learned that the Agents of tbe
Vandewater Wheel represent that my Wheel dis
charges even more tnan its apertures; now, to test
their sincerity, I will bet them, or any other person
who may question that the discharge of my wheel
is more than half its apertures, as follows:
Ist. $5,000 to $2,000, that it does not, (as the
Vandewater Agents claim) vent more than its aper
tures.
2d, 35,000 to $2,000, that it does not discharge
equal to its apertures.
3d. 33,000 to 31,500, that it don’t discharge fds
its apertures.
4tb. 31,000, that the discharge is not one-half the
apertures.
sth. 31,000, that thedisaharge is but 4-10ths the
apertures.
And then I will present the acceptor of the above
bets, SSOO, on his depositing the money to cover
them, with 31,000 to cover expenses of trial, whic *
the winner will be entitled to, in one of the Augusta
Banks, where I will as promptly make a correspond
ing deposit. And again—l will bet any sum that
the Vandewater Wheel, with same apertures as
mine, discharges one third more water. Now,
where is their boasted faith 1

might combine or prescribe with it, such articles as
they might consider most appropriate in oases under

DO NOT USE QUININE!! FOR
CHILLS AND FEVER
BONPLAND'S FKVKIt AND AGUE
REMEDY, will entirely eradicate this com
plaint from from the system, and will leave it renova
ted and btrenjjthened. It is sufficiently efficacious to
remove the most stubborn bilious affections, though it
may be taken by an infant without producing the
least unpleasant effect, and is believed by the Proprie
lor to be the only popular remedy for this class of dis
orders that is entirely free from all mineral or poison
ous ingredients. It is well known that thousands are
in the habit of using compound* of arsenic or other
dangerous, ingredients, while others accustom them
selves to the almost constant consumption ol Quinine,
which gives only a temporary relief, and leaves the
nervous system prostrate and the constitution shat
tered. , • ..L
WE WARN ALL PERSONS, therefore, against the
use ot mineral portions and quantities of quinine, un
der the mistaken idea that a disordered system can on
ly be mended by introducing a deadly principle, and
we earnestly entreat sufferers not to tamper with
themselves, but to get immediate and permanent relief
by the use of Bonpfand’s Fever and Ague Remedy, of
which the active ingredient is neither arsenic, qui
nine, or any mineral, but a plant almost unknown to
the Ma'eria Medica, which is entirely innoxious in
any quantities to the most delicate invalid, and yet
has the remarkable property oi co.reeling disorders of
the liver.
Pnysicisns have in this case thrown aside the preju
dice with which they ordinarily regard what are called
Patent Medicines.
We respectfully refer their brethren of the profes
sion to the appended certificates ot Doct. Chilton, of

it an act of injustice to the public it 1 withheld my

remedies I have ever known for the per man en 1 cure ot
