Villainous. —We aro informed by a passenger,
that on Friday night last, the Georgia Railroad
oars were shot at. somewhere below Double Wells,
the contents of the gun or pistol passing through
a window immediately in front of a lady passen

supposed to ootue from the discharge pf a pistol.
It is a miracle that no person was injured, as the

did not suppose there was, within the limits of
Georgia, a being so utterly base as to wantonly
\eopardize tho lives of persons, not one of whom
was prtJjabiy known to him, or could have done

Letter from Mr. Fillmore.
Just after the action of the Whig National Con
vention of Baltimore was made known, some gen
tlemen of Lexington (Ky.) wrote a letter to Mr.
Fillmore, assuring him that the result had Dot io
the slightest degree impaired their confidence in
him, or their interest in his success now and here
after. Tbe following is the President's reply:
Washiscotos, August 2, 1852.
Gentlemen: —Your letter of the 251 h of June
j came to hand on the 80th ult., and I avail myself
j of the first leisure moment to express to you my
.grateful acknowledgments for the unexpected,
and I fear, undeserved honor which yon have done
me.
Were I a prominent candidate for the place
which i now occupy, or were I jnst enuring upon
the discharge of its high and responsible duties, I
might suspect the motive that dictated so flattering
an estimate of my merits. But your letter is ad
dressed to one who is about to retire from the po
litical world—whose sands arc so nearly ran that
ho lias neither honors nor emolument to bestow.—
Under such circumstances, however I may dis
trust my own deserts, 1 am not at liberty to doubt ,
the sincerity of your motive*.
When, therefore, I recognise, as I do, among :
yonr signatures some old snd endeared friends,
and many distinguished names which Kentucky j
ha* long delighted to honor, I cannot suppress the
grateful emotions of my heart at receiving such a ;
flattering testimonial from so distinguished and
disinterested a source. While 1 cannot feel that I 1
deserve all the encomfhm* which you have been
pleased to bestow upon my efforts to servo the j
country, yet i can truly say that I have, regardless
of all consequences to myself, endeavored to pro
mote its true glory by sustaining its Constitution in
all its parts, and by impartially executing all laws
passed m pursuance of it; by recommending only
-noli measures as 1 thought-would promote the
general welfare; by selecting honest snd capable
men for olficc; by dealing justly with ail nations,
snrl “forming entangled alliances with none;” j
exacting nothing from the weak but whst waa
clearly our due, snd yielding nothing to the j
strong which they had not a right to claim; and I
need hardly add, that I cannot feel otherwise than
highly gratified to learn from so intelligent s por
tion of my fellow-citizens that, in their opinion,
these efforts to serve my country have not boen al
together in vain.
But, gentlemen, this free will offering of yours
has an additional value in my estimation from its
locality. It is from the friends and neighbors of the
lamented Clay, whose tomb is bedewed with a na
tion’s tears. Such a tribute from such a source
could not (ail to stir the deepest emotions of the
heart, and bring with it a thousand tender recol
lections of the illustrious dead. He was my friend. I
He was the friend of hi* country. His ashes now
rest in your midst, but his fame fill* the earth, i
confess that I appreciate your communication the I
more highly because it cornea from men who have [
long been his daily companions, listened to his i
sonT-stiring eloquence, and imbibed his noble sen
timent* of patriotism.
Next, in my estimation, to the approval of my
own conacience, is the enlightened approbation of
those whom I have endeavored to serve, and 1 shall
cherish this distinguished mark of your confidence
and esteem, to my latest breath. It shall odd re
newed zeal to my efforts for the brief remainder of
my term, and cheer my hours of solitude when I
retire to the shades of private life.
I have the honor to be your friend and fellow
citizen, Miixakd Fillhorb.
Items from Washington.
Tho New York Express has a Washington letter
under date of 8d inat., which says—
Tho estimates for the next fiscal year, (from
J une, 'SB to July, '54,) with the receipts of the De
partment for 1852, havo been made up by the
Treasury Department, with the usual F’iscal state
ment. Tho result shows an extraordinary degree
of national prosperity. It turns out that the Go
vernment has been purchasing largely of ite own
Stock the year past, from tho Loan falling due in
July, 1858. AU that it could buy it has bought,
ana tho amount reached, since July last, $2,500,-
0O0! These purchases have boen mode so quietly
that the Government tor once has stolen a inarch
upon the Stock dialers.
Excepting tho report of tho Secretary of the
Treasury, the reports of all the Departments will
,bc roady on the opening of Congress. The Trea
aii *y Financial report iB not usually handed in till
the'c'loae of the current, er the beginning of anew
Administration do not feel quite at liberty
to buy up Government Stocks at a premium of from
14 to 18 per cent., especially when it is certain this
premium would be doubled, or tripled if it was
known thnt the Government was in market to pur
chase its own Stock. Congress, if it wishes, can
instruct the President to do so. It is by no means
certain, however, that tho surplus will be as large
aa at present by five or ton millions of dollars after
July, 1858. If the French claims aro paid, as they
ought to bo, and the utock redeemed, which is due
in July next, as of course it will bo, tho surplus
will not then exceed $7,000,000. There aro bills
enough before Congress already, which hold over
from tho lustscssioii, to consumei the entire surplus
nearly twice over; and there will bo an attempt
made to legislate upon the whole of them, but, of
course, only with partial success.
Tho anticipation of tho London Morning Chron
icle, that tho tariff of 1846 will be reduced at the
present, or by the next Congress, is laughed at hero.
The subject will be reported upon by two Commit
tees, briefly debated, and that will be the end of the
matter.

ple apology was, “ Gentlemen, wo are too punctu

never asks whethor tlie company lias come, but
whether tlie hour has come.” Nobody ever waited
for General Washington. 110 was always five
minutes before the time; and if the parties he hud
ongagodto moot wore not present at the season ap
pointed, ho considered the engagement caneolled,
and would leave the place and ronise to return.

There is not a man now living in Europe, we
think, entitled to share in an equal degree with the
Arab Chief the admiration of tiie world. His ex
ploit* and personal qualities invest him with all the
charm of romance, oombined with profound re
spect for hi* devotion to his country, bis heroism,
and his misfortunes. His name will stand in his
tory alongside of those of the Cid, of Gomalco, of
Jftmirou, snd Kotciutte. Sinoe the great Dukt has
descended to the tomb, the Arab Emir has no peer
on the roil of illustrious living men. Ilis adversi
ties have sailed to the interest inspired by hii mil
itary achievement#; and the public heart sympa
thises with every thing relating to him; bat we
have seen no recent notioe of him so touching a*
the annexed passage from the Faria correspondence
of the J carnal of Commerce:
“ Abd-cl-Kaker arrived at the castle of Amboise
the day of his departure from the capital. About
half past eight in the evening he was received in
form st the portal by the Arab chiefs who shared I
his fortunes. He graciously, but hastily, accepted
their welcome, and then rashed forward to meet
his mother at the door of her apartment. He kiss
ed each of her shoulders, threw himself at her feet,
aud kissed them repeatedly. The aged parent
raised him up, and asked him for a circumstantial
narrative of his adventure at Paris, after she had
led him into her room and seated him before her.
While be described, with strange emotion, the
scenes and honors of his sojourn, she wept now
and then from joy and aurpnse. As soon as ho
ended he took her by the arm, and conducted her
to the Motqne in the Chateau, where all the compa
nion* of his exile were assembled, and a few
French attendants admitted. He returned, in a
loud voice, thanks to God for all that had occurred;
he concluded with a poetical prayer for the preser
vation of the new Cwaar, to whom he owed his re
lease after so long a captivity.
“The whole scene loft a deep impresaion on the
French spectators. After the religious rites he re
paired to hia legitimate spouse; Arab etiquette re
quired that she should be the last object of his at
tention. On hia way he exchanged good wish
es and pleasant phrases with the male part of his
household. The msrning after a fete was arranged
by his companions to celebrate his return; they
danced to the Bound of tambours. In the course
of the day the authorities of the town of Amboise
waited upon him with their congratulations. As
a manifestation of his supreme content and confi
dence, he unveiled his wife’s face to the French
Commandant of the Castle. We are not told, in
tho official report, from which the foregoing parti

with this Abd-el-Ksder, in aspect'demeanor, sen

person on my feelings has caused me to collect,
with special interest, tho main occurrences of his
visit to the capital. It is stated that he is invited
to return on the proclamation of the Empire, ac
companied by his harem and tho rest of hia house
hold. The Marquis of Londonderry, who takes
to himself half at least of the credit of the libera
tion, has deputed a special messenger to Amboise,
bearing an urgent request that tne Emir would
visit London as his guest. Possibly his French
benefactor will not readily expose him to British
influences, or wish him to learn directly how vast

thing would escape bis intelligence.’’

Arrival of ibe Cbiroaec.
The U. 8. Mail steamship Cherokee, Rodney
Baxter, comuiandor, arrived last evening from N.
York, via Havana, louring the latter port on the
8d iu»t. She reached the bar in fifty-flvo hours,
encountering strong northerly winds.
Unexpectedly, on the arrival of the Btoamer at
Havana, she was admitted to enter the harbor,
with the pilot on board, and dropped anchor at tha
usual place. Shortly after, the Captain of the port
ciunc alongside, and aftor having gone through
with the usual preliminaries, told the officere-of
the steamer that they could hold free communica
tions with the shore, land the mails and receive
passengers on board, &c., Ac., giving Capt. Baxter
to understand that the great ditlicuJty was settled.
The city ot Havana was said to be boalthy. The
Cherokee left in the harbor of Havana the U. S.

would leave.

Interest.
ITortu.— lf it should be necessary to plaoe every
farmer In the Union on horse back, there are
4,525,*52 horses in the country, for their service.
Ohio has the honor of rearing and keeping more
horses than any other State; the whole number
reported being *68,895. New York had 447,014;
Pennsylvania, *50,495; and Kentucky 815,551.
The improvement ol four and * half million
horses,-worth at least $200,000,00*, is an object
worthy of more attention than it has hitherto re
ceived. State and County Agricultural Societies
have done something, and'high price of good ani
mals more, to encourage the breeding and rearing
of superior roadsters, and good horsesof all work.
But the years of service rendered by a majority of

sisted by D. Redmond, i* one of the most valua
ble publications for the fanner and agriculturist
extant. It is issued monthly, at the cheap rate
of $1 a year, payable in advance. We have look
ed over the October nhmber of the present year,
and we are surprised at the useful matter contain
ed it. We are no farmer, but have found several
articles quite interesting, the leading article ex
ceedingly ao. If such be the case is it not surpri
sing that the planter, the fanner, and the gentle
man who farms for the sake of the name, do not
subscribe for a workso deserving of Southern pat
ronage. How long, oh, how long, will it be when
Southern people will open their eyea to their own
interest and welfare by encouraging home indus
try, home talents, and home manufactures.

We have received the November number of the

of the Cultivator contains many able articles upon
the various subjects embraced under the head of
Southern Cultivation.
We hope that this able periodical will continue
to receive at the hands of Southern men the sup
port which it so well merits, and that its present
patrons will endeavor to enlarge the sphere of its
usefulness. Let all remember that its present vol

that those who wish to continue it, should remit

number of this paper devoted to Agriculture, Hor

hands of every man who is interested in agriculture
or horticulture. Many who complain of the ex
austion or sterility of their lands uud are enduring
a fretty anxiety to emigrate to rich lands, should
take this paper, and will soon learn by it how to re
store fertility to their lands, and by obeying its
instructions, will become contented, prosperous

National Finances and Commerce.
Some very important facts arc brought to public
notice in the President’s Message—though they
are not commented on in that document—which
we shall lose no tirrje in considering. Large balan
ces in the public treasury are not always evidences
of the material prosperity of the people. They show,
it is true, that a government may be out of debt,
yet they do not prove that a tuition is equally clear
from financial responsibility. Let us consider
what is the relative aspect of the Government and
the people, so far as trade and revenue are con
cerned.' Trade is the business of the people; re
venue is the concern of the Government. The
people are engaged in the increase of their mate
rial wealth ; but the Government is only con
cerned, under the present system, in the collec
tion of a (sufficient sum for its support and extra
ordinary expenses. It will be seen, at once, there
fore, that it is a false doctrine to measure the pro
gress of national wealth by the aggregate balance
in the national treasury. The Government occu
pies, to the citizen, the relative position of a com
mission merchant, whoso profits are derived, not
from his own invested capital and absolute risk,
but from the capital of tne citizen. The Govern
ment’s revenue, accordingly, may be always sure
and always large, while the merchant’s balance on
his business may exhibit a loss instead of a profit.
With this liasty introduction of our views, let us
Proceed to demonstrate the relative financial con
ition of Commerco and of the nation under the
present tariff:
The Government’s receipts for the
last financial year, were $49,728,888
Expenditures, including $9,445,815 on
account of national debt 46,007,890
Leaving an actual and true balance in
tho treasury for the last fiscal year of
only $3,720,490
Now let us see what were the means by which
this was attained:
The value of foreign merchandise im
ported was $207,240,101
The value of domestic merchandise ex
ported was 149,861,911
Flat balance of trade against us $57,878,190
But, to this amount of $149,861,911, we mußt
add the sum of $17,204,026 of foreign merchandise
exported, which will make the aggregate of both
foreign and domestic exports $167,065,987. Yet
this does »ot exhibit all our exports, for unfortun
ately we have been compelled to send abroad our
money as well as our merchandise to pay for this
enormous importation.
We exported in 5pecie,.,,.,... $42,507,285
And imported 5,262,648
Balance of specie exported from the U. S.
during the fiscal year $37,244,642
Let us next look at the balance of foreign produc
tions imported by us and retained:
For merchandise imported $207,240,101
“ “ exported 17,204,026
Balance retained for consumption or
future trade $190,036,075
And how is it in regard to the balance in domes
tic produce exported F
Domestic produce exported $149,861,911
Balance of specie exported 87,262,643
$187,124,554
And, now, what is the final balance of Ameri
can trade, as exhibired by this national revenue
system:
Total imports $207,240,101
Total exports 187,124,554
Balance against us on the year's trans
actions $20,115,544
If those calculations are correct,—and wo believe
they are, though they have been hastily made,
the President’s messago presents ns somo facts
that should make us pause and rcjjeot, even in the
midst of tho vaunted prosperity whose key note
we aro too much habituated to tako from revenue
statistics. Wo observe that we have imported
$190,086,075 worth of merchandise more than we
needed for exportation,—and we see that, although
we sent abroad only $149,861,911 worth of our
own productions towards paying for our $207,240,-
101 worth of importations, and added thereto $87,-
244,642 of our specie, wo are still, on the final bal
ance, in debt, abroad $20,115,547 for extra impor
tations. Nor bps the (government , even, made so
vast a profit on the enormous transactions, with
all the boasted advantages of this taritf. Its actual
balance is only $8,720,490 for the fiscal year after
deducting the payments on account of the Nation
al debt.
We think it very conclusive from this summarv
of our National finances and trade, that, —although
tho Government may bo scantily clearing itself of
dobt and exhibiting a Bmall remainder in the trea
sury,—the industrial interest and commerce of the
Nation, —the great co-partnership of National trade
—are losing money. Nor Bhould it be forgotten,
that these antagonists, the Government und Com
merce, are trading on a different basis. The Gov
ernment deals exclusively for gold and oilver, wltile
tho merchant is forced to rely on a mingled basis
of credit—precious metals and bank paper. We
cannot understand how the credit ot tho one and
the specie of tho Other are to bo sustained, when
as President Fillmore says;' ” Jfust of the gold of
California, as fast as it is coined, finds its way di
rectly to Europe in payment for goods purchassed."
If we represent our purchases by our produc
tions, and exchange one for the other, we may live
financially as a nation; but if we are every year
spending near thirty-eight millions of our money,
and still remain full twenty millions in debt, we
are fast treading that path which is well known to
the spend thrift, who, not content with living on
the interest of his fortune, taps and drains that
fortune itself.
With these views we may cordially approve tho
recommendations, relative to the modification of
our revenue system, contained in tho Presidents
Message. —Baltimore American.
From the Charleston Courier.
Later from Nassau! .Y. P., Ac.
In the Courier of the 29th alt., we published in
telligence from Nassau. New Providence, to the
18th ult. By the arrival yesterday, at this port, ot
the Spanish brig Copernico, we have sixteen days
later advices from that pert. We have been per
mitted to make the fallowing extract from a letter
dated
“ Nassau, Nov. 29.—Spanish yesseis are arriving
here from Cuba, to get clearances for the United
States, to avoid the American tonage duties. Chole ■
ra has almost entirely disappeared from our town,
but at some of the outposts it has broken ont with
great severity. At Governor’s Harbor, Eleuthera
the inhabitants prevent persons from land
ing, and the Governor this day despatched to Pe
draza, troops and magistrates to bring them to
terms.”
We have also been politely furnished by a friend
with files of the Nassau Guardian from the 20th to
tho 27tb ult., inclusive.
During the week ending the 27th ult., there had
been only thirteen deaths irom cholera, and fifteen
from other causes—a great diminution ol mortality.
The Guardian of tne 27th nit., however, states
that although the pestilence is subsiding at Nassau,
yet it is spreading rapidly among the Islands of
that extended colony. It’hes already visited tenj
and it is teared that it will reach several that have
been spared the grievous affliction.
It broke out at Bock Sound on the 12th ult., and
between that day and the 20th nit., there were 62
coses, of which 14 terminated fatally.
At Bagged Island up to the 19th ult., 25 deaths
had occurred, but an experienced nurse, with me
dicines and hospital stores, had been dispatched to
the relief of the unfortunate sufferers.
During the week ending the 2Sth ult., Abaco
and Eleuthera had been furnished with medical
aid and other requisites to arrest and diminish the
spread and mortality of the epidemic.
The disease had also made its appearance at St.
Salvador; nor have Moss Town, and Stevenston
Exuma been exempted from the prevailing plague.
Everything however, we learn, had been done bv
the authorities at Nassau to aid the destitute sick
at those settlements. •
Arrowroot hod been selling by one of the Chem
ists at Nassau during the raging of the epidemic,
at $1 per lb., and Creosote at $2 per ounce!
Serious riots took place on the morning of the
26th ult., at Governor's Harbor and Hatchet Bay,
Eleuthera, on account of obstructions being offer
ed to the landing of Mr. Stipendiarv Carleton's
baggage and servants, the inhabitants "of these set
tlements being impressed with the idea that the
cholera wouia be introduced among them if they
•nffered the baggage to come on shore.
Mr. Cerieton returned to Nassau, and complained
to the authorities, whe, as will be perceived from
the extract from the letter given above, despatched
on the 29th ult., troops and magistrates to bring
the parties to a right way of thinking on the
matter.
Nobib Casplina Twins.— Dr. Gooch, editor of
the Tethoecojoe, a meals*! journal, published at
Richmond, \ a., gives the following, in his account
of the North Carolina twins:
“ These two children were bom in July, 1851. —
The mother is a stout negress, aged 81, very fat,
and of large frame. They aye remarkably spright
ly and healthy children, of natural aiae, one some
what larger than the other, and are perfectly
formed, but they are united at tJu soeni —the
lower termination of the back. The bond of onion
teems to be chiefly cartilaginous, but the sacra are
so closely approximated, Uiat some suppose there
is osseous union of those bones. The anatomical
conformation baa some strange p&euliarii.es, inter
esting to personal men, which we omit. Their
usual position is on their sides, (the right side of
the smaller and the left of the other,) With their
necks bent so atop„: tbs face upwards. Having
now grown for a year in the reccmoen* posture,
thus bent, their faces and heads have become
somewha' distorted latterly. The mother nureee
them by lying first on one side then on the other.
She handles them awkwardly, and seems to have
little idea of managing them. From their sprightly
and intelligent countenances, there is reason to
hope that they will soon acquire an education in
the arts of sitting and locomotion, Thev must sit
back to back oh opfi common seat, and take it by
turns which it to wait forward*, while the other
must lack step backwards ala mUUairt. They are
far mors wonderful than famous Siamese Twins,
and are owned by Mr. Purvis.”

England. —ls any doubt existed after Mr. D’ls
raeli's motion, that the Derby Government throw
protection overboard, it was set at rest by Lord
Derby in the House of Lords on the 22d inst.
In answer to a question from Lord Clanricarde,
Lord Derby stated that “the object of calling a ses
sion of the House prior to Christmas, wastoolose for
ever the controversy with regard to protection and
free trade. The result of the late election had oon- i
vinced him that though a large uumber of constit
uencies were well disposed to support the Govern
ment, they were determined not to assent to un al
teration of the recently adopted commercial policy,
and that auy such attempt would be instantly ne
gatived by a' large majority. Under these circum
stances be had frit it his duty to advise Her Ma
jesty to declare that the principles of unrestricted j
commerce ought to be adopted. (Cheers.) After
making this explicit statement, Government might
have rested, but it went further and announced its
budget for an early day, by the details of which
the country would be enabled to judge of the sin
cerity of the Government, and the wisdom of its
policy. (Cheers.) An attempt has been made in
the lower House to anticipate discussion by a reso
lution to which no member of the Government can
agree, but it would be well if those who were aoout
to support the motion, would consider not so much
how to overthrow the Government, but how they
could form an administiation ii it were over
thrown.” (Cheen.)
On Tuesday evening Mr. Villiers’ motion was
opprobionsly referred to by the Earl of Derby in
the Lords; while in the Commons it was under
debate. Mr. Villiers declared h# had brought for
ward his resolution for the purpose of placing on
record an unmistakeable declaration on the sub
ject of tree trade, tliat men of business and the
world might comprehend the final decision of Eng
land upon this all-important question.
Mr. D’lsraeli, in moving his amendment, ingen- |
iously persisted in resolving Mr. Villiers’ motion 1
into an enqairy, whether the Government had ful
filled its pledges since it came into power. Fol
lowing out this view, he maintained that the Derby
administration was of necessity one of compro
mise and conciliation. The office was thrust upon
them when the former Cabinet fell to pieces from
the internal discord, and they acceded to power by j
no motion connected with protection ; consequent- j
ly they violated no pledge by retaining offico with i
a House opposed to protection; and further, from
the beginning they never did intend to repeal any j
of the measures of the free trade acts.
Mr. Bright replied at length in a speech chiefly
noticeable for thofollowing passage: “If the House
maintained Mr. Villicrs’ motiou, the United States,
where a free trade President had just been re
turned by an overwhelming majority, would also
know it. (Hear.) In the United States protection
was in the same helpless condition it was in this
country, and though well beaten the supporters
of that clause still cling by it, as in this country.
(Laughter and cheers.) But when President
Pierce, in March next comes into power, they
might look forward to the reciprocity just now so
much talked about there, therefore let them put
on the books of the House a resolution that nobody
could mistake.”
Lord Palmerston skillfully smoothed over the
asperities of both speeches, and suggested, but did
not formally submit, some verbal amendments.
The debate was then adjourned.
Next day it was resumed by Sir James Graham,
Mr. Gladstone, Oobden aud others, and resulted
in the withdrawal of Mr. Disraeli’s amendment,
and the offering of the following by Lord Palmers
ton : “It is the opinion of this House that tho im
proved condition of the country, and especially of
the industrious classes is mainly the result of the
recent legislation, which has established the taxes
imposed for the purpose of protection. That it is
the opinion of this House that the policy followed,
maintained and prudently extended, will best ena

Russian Expedition to Japan. ,
St. Petersburo, Oct. 16, 1852.— “ The Emperor
lias started an expedition for ‘Japan,’ consisting of .
the frigate ‘ Pallas,’ a tender, and a screw steamor
bought in England, to be under tho eommand of
Vico Admiral Poatatine, a very efficient officer and
worthy man. Tho frigato left Cronstadt a few
weeks Bince, and will stop at some port in the i
English channel, whore the expedition will finally
start from, said to bo for scientific purposes, 'out it
is pretty certain it is sent to watch the Amerioan
expedition, of which they are almost ridiculously I
jealous. The Emperor is much more interested in
this expedition than he was in the Kossuth Mania,
and attaches much more importance to tho former
than he over did to the latter, which ho had tho
good sonse to see and predict would blow itself
over in a short time. The river here is frill of l
floating ice, and when once stopped it will soon get
bound, and be sate for foot crossing. Fortunutoly, 1
all American ships have got away.”
We oxtraet tho above letter from the Salem Reg- ’
inter. It is said to have been written by “on (
American gentleman long resident in Russia]” but
it does not follow that he is well informed on tho
subject of whioh ho writes. We think it most 1
likely that this expedition is designed to co-operate
with the scientific corpse appointed by the Russian
government to survey tho coast of Kamtschatka.—

ZW Remarkable cure of Neuralgia, by using the
OXYGENATED BITTERS.
Prom Rev. T. Kiddkr, Chaplain Vermont State Prison.
Windsor, Vt., Aug. 8,1846.
Dear Sir —lt gives me great pleasure to inform you,
that the Oxygenated Bitters, with which you furnished
my wife, have wrought a cure in her case. About twe
years Bince, my wife was violently attacked with Neural
gia in the face, through the chest, in the wrist and ankles.
So violent was the disease, added to a general derange
ment of the female system, that her strength was com
pletely prostrated, her flesh wasted, and she rendered mis
erable indeed. I feel grateful for the restoration of her
health, and in duty bound to give publicity to the above
facts, that others similarly afflicted may know where to
seek for a cure. THOMAS KIDDER.
It is not necessary to say anything in confirmation of this
statement. Mr. Kidder is a clergyman in high standing,
and well known in this community.

DIED.
In Sheffield, England, on the 16th ultimo, Mr. GEORGE
OATES, Sen., of Charleston, S. C., in the 64th year of his
age. He had been sojourning in his native country for
some months, and was just about to embark once more,
with a portion of his family, for his adopted home, when
he was suddenly attacked with chills and fever. He had
been for many years afflicted with asthma, and this se£
tling on his lungs, a few days illness terminated his life.—
The news of his sudden decease, will be received with sin
cere regret by a large number of acquaintances through
out this country; and his surviving family will recivethe
deep sympathy of many attached friends in this city. It
is however, a cause of great satisfaction both to his family
and friends, that after so many years absence from his na
tive place, he was permitted there to breathe his last, sur
rounded by his relatives and earliest friends, and that he
was enabled to meet his end with perfect serenity and re
signation ; explicitly renouncing all hope of acceptance in
himself, and cordially declaring his reliance on the atone
ment of his Saviour. His admirable talents as a musician
aod accountant—his uniform reverence for the name and
word of God—his conscientious observance of the Sabbath,
and constant attendance upon the services of the Sanctu
ary—his careftil memoranda of every Sermon delivered
for the gratification of his partner, who was unable to hsar
distinctly the Word preached, these mental, social, and
moral excellencies will cause his name to be remembered
with much respect by bis acquaintance and

TRADE AND BUSINESS.—The operations in trade du
ring the week Just closed, have been very fair, considering
the very wet and inclement weather, which has continued
almost throughout the week.
GROCERIES.—In the Grocery trade, business has been
very satisfactory ; and, as the stocks are ample, purchasers
have no difficulty in obtaining their supplies on most accom
modating terms. Prices have undergone no change in the
leading articles of Sugar, Coffee, Molasses, Iron, Ac.,
and we continue former quotations, to which the reader Is
referred.
GRAIN.—The supply of Corn has become more abundant
and prices have receded to 60 to 70 cents, and difficult Os
sale in any quantity. In Wbeat there is no change.
BACON.—The demand for Bacon is quite limited, and
our quotations, which are for a good article, are barely sus
tained. The transaction s are very limited.
SALT—This artiole has suddenly become very scarce,
and prices have suddenly gone up to $1.60 72 sack, at
which it is difficult to obtain. This state of things will not
probably continue but a few days.
EXCHANGE—Checks on the North are abundant at #
72 cent. prem.
FREIGHTS—The rates are the same as last quoted—7s
cents to Savannah and $1 to Charleston, $) bale, for Cotton.
