In thxlCihcuit Court or Henry County, Ala.
—This celebrated, and we may say venerable case,
was at last disposed ot", and w II i.everbe sounded
again from the docket which iI has -o le:g cum
bered. Alauy things combined to lend extraordina
ry interest to its trial—lhe enormity of Ihe off’ use
with which the prisoner was clmiged—the length
•jftb-oe which had elapsed since its commission—the
unusual ability with which both the prosecution
and the defence were conducted—bu; above all the
deep and general sympathy which was felt for the
accused. More than tourteeu years ago, in Februa
ry 1811, in Harbour County, John, a slave cf Dr.
Alexander I*. Crawford, was most brutally whipped
lo death, bis body, according to Ihe testimony,
having been so lac rated that from the neck to the
heels there was hot space where a finger might
have been put down without coming on a lash i r a
bruise. The prison r, who was then Ifr Crawford's
overseer, being immediately after the whipping,
and while John was yet alive, charged with G and
threatened with a prosecution, fi and from the ue-gh
borhood. Tw o years alter he was arrested by Mr.
Thomas Cargile in tho oily of.Montgomery, p i- u. g
uuder the name of Boyd ; and beit.g brought hai k
to Harbour county, the grand jury at tlie spring
term, I81(i. found a true hill against him for msrd; r.
The ,re a to’ wa J soon charged to Henry county
whero the prisoner had ‘ rm-.rly lived, and wi re
lie had some relatives and many friends, and a
trial being imd at the spring term, 184-J beiore the j
Honorable Samuel Chapman, he was found guilty j
of murder, and sentenced to the lYuguP vy ‘■ t
ten yean, the jury, however, omittiag tut! i \- r
dict to asoei.am the degree of the murder. On a.
oount of this omission the juugmeut was roves -i

thin a of this evil goes, and ventilation and
cleanliues ■ are not mi rack's to he prayed for, but
ci rtaiu rcsulis of common obedience to ihe laws of
God.”
But to the discussion of our theme. In the hardy
ages of antiquily, we are told that the Geruiaus
were in the habit of plunging tin ir new-born in
fants into the freezing waters of the Rhine, to inure
them to the severe cold of ti iir country. I need
not take great paiua to point oat the danger in fol
lowing such an example in our climate, for'mothero
are ton apt. to adopt a practice thti very opposite to
this. In this, ns in everything else, the golden
mean should b.> the rule of wise aud rational conduct.
It would be extremely hazardous to dip the tender
b my of an infant in cold water, ar.d ‘.here retain it
duriflg the necessary operation of washing. Hut
the use t f the .-.d bath may be with safety brought
about generally, in a few mouths after birth. It
will then bo found, net only cue of tho best means
of promoting health nnu strength, but also of pre
v. ntii’g the most bistrewing complaints to which
children are liable. T. i follow i g method I can
confidently rreonuueud, having had frequent op
portunitie? of observing its salutary < Tlie
tel ii ktnra of iho vqter proper fra new born in
faul, .>! oil J iti ttroacii nearly to that of the situation
it i*rm • ly oc it, <-d. Ii i- ii • nece-sary to asorr
t tin tho prreite degree of temperature, for the con
duct of the child will indieote with ndMmt exact
ness when the water is much warmer than new
milk or above blood beat. A little caotile soap is al
that Is nqu'ir-d to increase its Eoltnesa and purify
ing effect. T its operation should be performed in
a vessel tuflieientiy large io admit of the full exten
sion of the infant’s limbs. Wo avt* thus enabled to
discover .any defect in lls conformation or any in
jury which may lißve resulted from accident, which
otherwise woull, perhaps, have escaped notice. Toe
child should not b - kept in the bath longer than five
or fix n mutes, and the moment it i? removed there
from it should be wrapped ia a soft, warm blanket,
and then kept quiet for a few moments, and then
wiped very dry. Ti.u course should lie pursued for the
first month, aud should be tlie first object of atten
tion in the murni. g and the last at night. Should
the child’s stomach be lull, though it may boot
nourishment from the mother, tho bathing should be
deterred until the eircmnstancee become more pro
pitious
Thi? ii the only caution, betides those already
given, which need be ofc ; rved. After the first
month the warmth of the ba'h may be lessened, but
a ;no:t imperce ’ibly, eo a? to guard against the
| risk t f sadden changes or'rash experiments. The
I mildness of Ihe weather, and the evident increase of
the chiV-’ s’rei’ftib, must be taken into cotsidera
t:on, tor, though cold water is very servicab’.e in
breaking weak and relaxed habit?, yet if tried too
soon or too suddenly, its stimulating effect maybe
so energetic aud the powera of reaction so feeble,
that consequences of an alarming character might
ensue. 1: iactier* ou in cold water be quickly fol
lowed by a glow cf warmth over the body, and a
pcrceptib e liveliness in the child, we may feel con
fident that it ba= not proved injurious, and that due
discretion he? bt a observed. But, on the con
trary, should it have produced ehilllaes?, eviueut
1 gear t r depression, the water should the r.ext
tune be made wanner, aud the repetition of the
cold bath should not be ventured upon until the
circumstances ere more favorable. It would tend
rather to increase than to remove tbe doubts of mo
then were I to enter into a detail of all ihj com
plaint# in wh ; ch the cold bath may prove service
able or injurious, not only during infancy, but in
adult life. There are many nice distinctions in a
variety of cor. plaints, where the moet judicious
medical skii: and expvrisuce are necessary, to de
cide on the propriety or i'.’ propriety of resorting to
so powerful and a: the same time so hazardous a
remedy. Suffice it to say, that iu extreme weak
ness, indicated by ths before-mentioned symptoms
of children, and apparent 10-:- of strength after im
mersion, it should b 3 useA, if ai all. with extreme
caution. The immediate effect of a cold bath, at
any age, is a sudden contraction of tbe pores ana
small blood vessel? of tho skin, and the general re-
I* pulsion or driving back of the fluids to the internal
organs. The chi', g ronsation excites the most
vigorous efforts of the uiffjreut organs, particularly
the heart ard arteries, to increase tbe heat within
the b niy, and Jo resist ;be impression made upon j
the surface. T s i? whs! physicians mean when 1
they speak of “ shock” and “ reaction, “—tba de- |
grea of the latter being always proportioned to the
violence of the former and the strength of t:e con
stitution. lienee arises, when all things are favor- |
ab'e. that delightful glow which follows the impres- j
sion of cold, and, so far, the fui play of the vita j j
organs is as agreeable as it is beneficial. But, as ;

Rev. W. J. Park*—Schools and Colleges.
Mr. Editor .-—I notice in a recent number of the
Chronicle A Sentinel, acommunicaticn in reference
to Franklin College. The Rev. W. J. Parke pro
poses tha’it be sold to the Episcopalians, and the
proceeds of the sale be disbursed among the se vsral
denominational Colleges of the State. In urging
the propriety of thi • measure, he gives utterance to
1 me sentiments which I conceive to be in direct
antagonism with the educational interest of Geor-
I l : s, anu w rich you very properly so coaractized in
the editorial accompanying his communication. He
apprehends that his proposition will be regarded as
‘ tart! is” by some mind?, and attempts to fore.’
it?..: , t.L/.c opinion by announcirg some verypalpa
hla Iruii :—nuch as “ the greatest good to the largest
number of the community.” Now, I have no ob
jection to the'measure because it is ‘■ neic" —in this
of progress, we may expect many and startling
theories in reference to the general good. We eon
demn no man for being an innovator —for the intro
duction of novelties ia very justly regarded as the
Inc'piency of great and valuable improvements.
Hu: when we are enabled to trace our intimate re
lationship between the persona! or sectarian interest
of the innovator and the novelty introduced, we are
thr. w i upon our guard, lest this relationship rather
than the general good, should have suggested the
“ new pi'::..” Whence this now-born liberal ty to
ward? ‘ Ep't-w.palian? ? Some years since, we
read of a large i’roteslant party in the English Par
•’ ati.ent, who were extremely solicitous to build and
endow a Roman Catholic College ia Ireland. Why ?
Had they relented in their opposition to the objec
tionable tenets of that denomination 7 No; hut
tie otjet . was that the pub ic lavor accruing from
ti e measure might establish them in power and
make theta more successful in resisting the political
rag* sration of the people they were professedly
bone-fitting. The motion was BO apparent, that
many of the prominent Catholics of Ireland rejected
with scorn the seeming overture of friendship. We
always regret to see disinterested propositions ac
companied with such restrictions and provisos as
receasardy Etrip their advocates of the commenda
tion that would otherwise be awarded them.
“ But, och ! mankind are unco weak,
And lutle to be trusted—
If pelf the waverine balance shake,
It's rarely right adjusted.”
We have the highest respect for the author of this
“ new plan ” —we esteem him for his “ work’s Bake”
—and have no doubt but he acts in good faith to
wards the Conference under whose direction he has
for Ihe last few years abandoned the regular work
of an itinerant minister, and devoted his attention
to endowing in the sum of fifty thousand dollars one
of his favonto denominational schools.
Aft ioug as he confined himself to his own dencmi
nat ional journals, in propagating these plans we were
silent—but when he enters the columns of a politi
cal newspaper to mould public opinion, and seeks
to enter the legislative bads of the fttate, and have
his plans enacted into law—when he seek3 to de
molish the only monument of learning in the State,
which has been built up by taxation, and which,
unwc rthy aa it may be, contains the only germ
which can be developed into an University worthy
of Georgians—when he does all this, we must en
ter our pretest. And let me assure him, when his
■■plan” meets the eyes of the hundreds who have
gone forth from the halls of this State Institution,
they will regard as complacently the heathen mon
arch who forced his way into the J ewisb temple aud
bore off its golden trc-asuie that it might be placed
in the house of his idol God—as him, who would en
t r Old Franklin by legislative enactment, and bear
off the accumulated wealth of years, to hang it up,
a torn and faded trophy, in the diminutive halls of
some rival school. What must have been the feel
ings of thq old Roman, as he saw the Vanda! rush
ing into the magnificent buildings of the city, where
wealth and art and taste had expended all their
powers of attraction 7 As he saw the painting and
statue defaced, and the column and arch which re
o rded the glories of the past, overturned and con
temned 7 What must be the feelings of every
graduate of the College, extending from the Cabi
net to the humblest employment, aa be sees secta
rianism reaching forth its hand to deface and pull
down the only arch of literature, where are entab
latuivi the proudest and beet names of Georgia.—
Mr. Editor, wilh yeur permission, we propose to
take up and discuss the assertions contained in Mr.
Park’s “startling communication,” viz : “That de
nominational colleges are, and have been, and will
continue to be, the most efficient instrumentalities
by which to promote a thorough collegiate train
ing.” “Ihata State can seldom if ever manage
such interests aa these, as weil as a denomination
can.” “That the course of instruction now given
in our colleges is more thorough, and the students
better trained than they would be in the absence of
denominational competition.” “And that large
endowments beyond the actual necessity of a col-,
lege is its bane, and the precursor of a decline as to
its real utility.” In discussing these assertions, I,
shall urge the importance of Free Schools, and a
University by State endowments, and shall first en
dorse and enforce your editorial, viz : “That Frank
lin College must be purged from ‘basement to
dome,’ before we’ can make it a University.” My
next article will be a prescription for purging it.

From the Dominican Republic.— By the arri
val at thin port of the schooner C. N. Casey from
Port an Platte, we have received a copy of the
Gacets Official of the Dominican Republic, dated
Si to Domingo, Sept 14 Its leading article con-,
gratula'es lottos los Dominicanos —all the Domini
cans—on the restoration of peace, and the final tri
umph of the great woik of reform commenced in
that capital on the 27th of July last. It declares
that “the annals of nations afford no example of a
political reform accomplished in eo short a space of
litre, r.ud in so peaceful a manner.”
This article a followed by various documents
emanating fror: “ Pedro Santana, Liberator of the
country, General-in-Chief of the armies, by the sov
ereign will of the people charged with the restora
tion of the gorernment. of the constitution and the
laws, &tc.” This exalted personage decrees that the
circulation of the Treasury note? emitted on the Blh
of August last, by tho a.lministration of ex-president
Valverde, shall be prohibited, and that the holders
thereot shall be required within fifteen days after
the date of this decree (Sept. 3; to present their
notes at the government offices and receive re
ceipts therefor, which will hereafter be redeemed at
the rate of- tie hundred dollars, national currency
for each nolo.
The sum tc-tal of the paper money recognized by
the Dominic ■ government, and actually in circula
tion, is’ $ 15,2/i1,430. Pedro Santana thinks that
*300,000 in paper money would be quite sufficient
as a medium of exchange for all the business done
in ihe Republic.

Steamboat Disaster—No Lives Lott. —We
regret to learn, by diepajehes received iu this city
yesterday morning, that the fine steamer Ben
Franklin, belonging to the Memphis and New Or
leans Packet Company, which left this port on Mon
day evening last, for New Orleans, took fire on
Thursday night, when near Ashton Landing, a (ew
miles above Vicksburg, and was entirely consum
ed, together with her cargo. The Franklin left
here with about two thousand bales of cotton and a
considerable quantity of other freight, all of which,
w ith the boat, will prove a total loss. The boat
doubtless took on consideraule more cotton before
she burned. There was a large number of passen
gers on board, none of whom, so far as ha? been
ascertained, were injured.
The Franklin was comparatively new boat,
and her loss will fall heavily upon the Packet Com
pany. We understand she was insured for $35,000
ia offices in Louisvilie. The cotton on board was
insured in New Orleans and Boston. None of it,
we believe, was insured here —Memphis Bulletin

Match Race tor Two Tkoujasp Dollars. —
The positive commencement ot the Memphis Knees
over the new course does not take place until this
osy, but by way of an inauguration a match took
place yesterday for *2,000, between Messrs. J.
Jackson and Vs. T. Cheatham’s grey mare, “Betty
Martin,” by Emn, dam by Ainderbv, soar years
eld, carrying maety-eeven pounds, and Messrs. W.
T. Roundtree and E. Breathitt's black mare, by Al
bion, dim by Wagner, three years old, carrying
eighty-three pounds. There wa? a large assem
blage of the sporting fraternity present, and it was
believed that never before were there so many of
the actual owners and tramers of race horses con
gregated together at one time since racing has been
a fashionable past time in this country.
At tweaty minutes past one the signal wa? given
for saddling, and then the betting began in right
good earnest; and closed at *IOO to SOO on the
“ Bisck.” At the Up of the dinm a capital start
was effected, the *’ Grey” shooting oat at least a
head in advance, maintaining the lead ali around,
and notwithstanding a desperate effort on the part
of the blaet more at the “ dU.anoe, ’ sncccetei in
coming in first by a length and a half, in 1 minute

yards when the black mare collared her, and a moat

‘This heat was run in 1:551. Immediately after the
race Mr. Roundtree named the victor Elia Moon.
The arrangements on the Course gave the grert •
eqt satisfaction, and we heard more than one of the |
oldest racing men declare it was the best track in t
the Union. The following is the summary:

First Day. —Yesterday wa3 the day set apartfor
the commencement of the Full Meeting over the
Memphis Course. The attendance was very large.
The first race was for the Jockey Club purse of
JCOO—three mile heats. Capt T. G. Ho:re named
cheenut filly “Jenny Rose,” by “Gloncoe,” dam
“Ann Belle,” by “Frank,” and James Jackson
named chesnut. filly by “Glencoe,” dam “Princess
Ann,” b/ “ Leviathan. ’ ’
When brought out, both horses looked well, and
to an outsider there appeared to be very little
choice between the two. These who best knew the
animals, however, backed “Jenny Rose” to any
extent—the odds in her favor being two to one.—
At the signal from the Judges, they got off well to
gether for the first heat—J ackson s mare taking the
inside, aud leading ‘ Jenny” a trifle. Before the
hal. mile post was reached, the distance between
the two was some three lengths, and from this time
to the end of the heat, the horse3 maintained nearly
iiiesame position, making the first mile in 1:56(.
The second mile was also made ia I:sGJ —the horses
during tho whole time seeming to jump to together.
On the last mile, the efforts made by “Jenny” to
come up were wonderful; but she was too far be
hind, nor was the space between the two material
ly lessened. The last mile was made in 1:55* —
Jackson’s mare winning the heat in S:4SJ.
A good start was had for the 6eoond heat, Jack
son's mare taking the lead. Before thefirst quarter
poet was passed, however, “Jenny” gradually
edged ahead—but Jackson’s mare had not lost all
her spunk, aud nobly strove to again take the lead.
They passed the Judges’ staud after the first mile,
neck and neck, in 1:541-2. On the second mile,
“Jenny” got the lead, and gradually but surely in
creased the distance between them—passing the
stand alter the second mile a length ahead, in 1:54.
On the third mile, it was evident to the moat inex
perienced that Jackson’s mare was dead beat. She
labored hard ou the back stretch to close up, but
without success—and “Jenny” came in on an easy
eauter twenty yards ahead, making the last mile iu
2:1. Time of the heat, 6:1.
Sir. Jackson then had it announced that he with
drew his mare from the race.

The Walker Sweepstake, for three year olds,
mile heats was by far tho most interesting feature
of the day. Twelve nominations wore made, but
when the time approached for starling, the list
comprisedbutfour—"Socks,”“Des Chiles,”“Hemp
land” and “Laura Williams,” —the others paying
forfeit.
Considerable betting was done—“ Des Chiles”
being backed against the field 100 to 75, and two to
one, in some instances, were offered ou him, and
large sums of money was eventually staked at those
odds. “Des Chiles’ is a Kentucky nag, by imp.
Glencoe, and has considerable of a reputatio* as a
“goer.” The following is the order in which the
others ranked: “Hemplaud,” 2d; “Socks,” 3d;
aud “Laura Williams,” 4tb. The Judges announced
that “Laura Williams” was to have the inside track,
aud the four made a most beautiful start for the
first Heat—“ Socks” leading, “Jlempland” second,
“Laura Williams'’ third, aud “Des Chiles ’ away
behind. This position was maintained until the
third quarter was reached, when “Hempland”
closed up side by side with “Socks.” For nearly
a quarter of a mile, a blanket would hnve covered
both the nags; but, on the home stretch, “Socks”
let out, and passed tho stand at a tearing pace, two
lengths ahead of “Hempland,” he the same distance
in advance of “Laura Williams,” and “Des Chiles”
at least twenty yards behind the whole. Time
1:484-
The result of the heat created no little exoltemcnt
among the betters. “ Socks,” from being third fa
vorite, took first rack, and “ Hempland” second.
All four looked as “good as now” when they came
up to start for the
Second Heat. —When they left the Judges’ Stand,
“ Laura Williams” led, “ Hempland” was close be
hind her, and “ Des Chiles” war again in the rear.
This position was maintained until the eecond quar
ter was reached, when “ Socks” ehot ahead ot the
whole, and took the lead, “ Hempland” keeping
next behind him, and “ Laura” third. This posi
tion was maintained to the end of the heat. “ Des
Chiles,” cn nearing the last quarter made a gallant
brush, and lessened considerably a fearful gap that
had been created, but the distance was too great.
“ Socks” passed Ihe Judges’ Stand half a length in
advance of “Hempland”—he leading “Laura” a
length, and “ Des Chiles” six or eight lengths be
hind her. Time : 1.483.
As the result was announced, the cheers for Ten
nessee rang out loud and long from the stand occu
pied by the spectators.

THIRD DAT.
This was the day for the “ Great Harper Stake”
for three year olde ; two mile heats; S3OO entrance,
SIOO forfeit, with S4OO added by the club, and for
which there were eleven entries, bnt only four ac
ceptances, via : J. Is. Bradlsy’s Des Chiles, J.
Guild's Effie Deaa, James Jackson’s Effie Bynum,
and Moore & Wadley’s Hennie Farrow, batter
known as Bettie Maney, formerly the property of
Mr. Abner Turner, of Nashville, by whom she was
bred. This was considered by the racingfraternity
as the great oontest of the meeting—Kentucky,
Alabama and of the rival counties of Tenneeeee
(Sumuer and Davidson,) being duly represented by
the champion three year olds of their respective
stables. The Shamrock filly (Hennie Farrow) be
came first favorite early In the morning, and by 12
o’clock the bet.ing was even on her against the
field, nor were there wanting plenty of takers, Effie
Bynum aud Effie Dean having plenty of supporters
at that odds.
At one o'clock orders were gtvsn from the
Judges’ stand to saddle, and in about ten minutes,
all being in readiness, “tap” went the drum and off
they go, Des Chiles making the running at a tre
mendous pace, closely followed by Effie Bynum
and Effie Dean, the Shainrook filly about three
lengths behind, evidently taking it easy. In this
order they passed the Judges’ stand the first time,
making the mile in 1:52}, Dee Chiles about three
lengths in advance, which she kept till she passed
the quarter post, when she was collared by Effie
Bynum, aud they ran neck and neck to the
half mile, where the Shamrock filly (having slid past
Effie Dean) ioined them and speedily took the lead,
coming into the home stretch a full length in ad
vance of the others. Des Chiles now cried “Pec
eavi” and fell back to the rear. Effie Dean, put
ting on the steam, succeeded in catching her name
sake and leaving her at the ‘‘ditlante.” made a tre
mendous rush for the front, but the Shamrock was
not so “green” as to let her pass, and a glorious
race home brought her first past the stand a length
in advance, Des Chiles and Effie Bynum struggling
so bard for the third place that an unexperienced
eye would have proclaimed a “deadbeat” between,
out the Judge placed the Kentucky mare third and
Effie Bynum fourth, declaring the Shamrock filly to
have won the heat in 3:40.
Second Heal— At the signal they started in the
same order precisely as the first heat, and contin
ued so till nearly the end of the first mile, when Ef
fie Bynum went in front and gained the first round
by about two lengths—Effie Dean and the Sham
rock filly neck and neck about the same distance
behind Des Chiles. Cp to this the running had
been terrific, but on reacLing the back of the track
it was evident that both Effie Dean and Des Chiles
were getting distressed, and that the race would be
between Hennie and Bynum; Hennie gradually
passing Effie Dean, then collaring Des Chiles, quit
ting her and ccmmg up with Jackson’s mare, chal
lenged at the hall mile, and after every effort to
keep her place, Effie Bynum was compelled to suc
cumb. and Hennie come up the home-stretch at a
killing pace, and without the application of either
whip or spur, was landed first at the winning post
m 3:46j, beating Jackson s mare by three lengths—

Grain —With large receipts, an absence? of demand
for export, and only a moderate home inquiry, the mar
ket for Wheal continues depressed, aud prices of infe
rior and medium qualities are 2®3c lower. The crop
in Europe had been safely secured at last accounts, and
more than an average yield had been housed, causing a
depression in prices in Liverpool. The Com law in
France is to remain in force another twelve months,
which caused a decline in pric-is, and had the effect to
add to the depression in Liverpool. Under these cir
cumstances, the English commercial journals do not
anticipate so large an import from America this season
as usual. The sales since our last issue include 500
White Southern, at $1.32* 1 45 ; 1450 Red do. $1 094®
1.16 . 4800 White Michigan sl.lO ; 550 White Kentucky
$1.51, in bond. Com has been active, but at low prices
80*85 for Round White, and 73 *75 for mixed do.
Flour —Southern Flour has undergone no change
worth mentioning, though prices favor the purcha cr, in
the absence of any demand worth mentioning, i'ne re
ceipts are in excess o’ the demand, and the stock is ac
cumulating. Sales 4500 bbis at ss*s 49 for inferior to
good mixed brands, $5 50*7.50 for common to fair, fan
cy and extra, a id $7.75*9 for favorite and choice do.

MEMHHIS, Oct, 23. — Cotton —The great difficulty ex
perienced in getting Cotton shipped, owing to the low
stage of water in the river, caused a duii market yester
dav. There was no material change in prices -, very
few buyers were in the market, and prices were a little
drooping. The saies of the day amounted to only i, 164
bales, over half of which went off at lljc., which are
the ruling figures. Avery large amount of Cotton is
lying on the bluff awaiting shipment, and buyers seem

SPECIAL NOTICES/
PRESENTMENTS
Georgia, Oglethorpe County.—The Grand
Jurors, held for October Term, 1858, make the following
Presentments J
They have examined the Books of the Superior and
Inferior Courts, as well as the records of the Ordinary
and report them as, in their opinion, correct and neatly
kept.
The Committeeappo'nted to examine the Jail, report
thst it is in a safe condition, but wanting in cleanliness •
and recommend that it bo thoroughly cleansed and
whitewashed on the inside.
The Grand Jury do not feel wiping to separate with
out expressing their thanks to the Inferior Court, as
well as their Commissioners, for the improvement ef’
fected in our public Roads, which are in very good con
dition generally, and we hope they will persevere until
not one bad road shall bo known in our county limits.
We would further recommend to our Inferior Court, to
continue in office our Road Commissioners, as the annual
appointment of those officers subject us to an unequal
distribution of read htyuds, leaving some of our Roads
with insufficient force.
The cause of Education, they would present as one
which should claim the earnest consideration of the
people of Georgia, and we urge the necessity cf adopt*
ing some general plan of education by which its benefits
can be extended to any child in the State.
The Supremo Court of Georgia has of late had a nu
merous party opposed to its decisions, and not an incoi/
Biderable number opposed to its continuance or existence
We*deplore a policy which, in its rashness, would ove:
turn this institution, which is one of the great safe gua.ds
to the rights of the people, shortening litigation &id
harmonizing the conllictiDg decisions in the various c r*
cuits of our own State. We believe it would be far better
policy to correct by suitable Legislation its abuses than
to abandon so important and essential a branch of our
Judiciary.
Another subject which this Jury thinks It proper to
notice, is the unequal estimate made on the value of their
property, as shown by the tax-payers in their return
to the Receiver. This inequality should be corrected,
and the taxation equalized. We believe the present
remedy a bad one, and recommend that the Legislature
provide one more suitable to correct the abuse.
Jn taking leave ot bis Honor, Judge Thomas, we ten
der him our warmett thauks tor his kindness and cour
tesy to our body, and the highly satisfactory manner in
which he has discharged the important functions of his
office. Our thanks are due to the Solicitor Gcnerah
Thomas M. Daniel, for his promptness and assistance to
the Grand Jury. J %MES 8. SIMS, Foreman,

THE GREAT HOLLAND REMEDY !
BP Appetite and Strength Restored.—-Wm
Young, of South Pittsburg, says :
“ After having suffered severely for several days
with a most distressing attack of Diarrhea, I purchased
a bottle of BCERHAVE’S HOLLAND BITTERS. It
gradually checked the disease and restored my bowels
to perfect order. Before I had finished the bottle, I
found my appetite and strength returning. I believe it
worthy of the character you give i, and shall recom
mend it as such/’ ocU!7 dacwlw
gy Our native forests furnish ns with Na
ture’s own remedy for Lußg complaints. Dr. WIST AR
in his BALSAM, combines the essential qualities of the
Cherry Bark with Tar Water. It has cured many cases
of seated consumption. cct27*dtw&wit
ggp The Jlan with the Black Whiskers has
at .last revealed the secret of bi> success in changing
them from their original color of red. He confesses to
having made use of the only true Hair Dye known,
JULES HAUEL’S LIQUID HAIR DYE.
This scientific compound is as different from the many
trashy imitations which are offered for sale, as it is pos
sible to eoncei ve. This Dye w ill instantaneously change
the color of the hair from red or gray to a beautiful
black brown, or auburn coW, ands j effectually that it
will be impossible for any one to detect the presence cf
a dye. It requires no previous preparation of the hair,
and the colors are so indelibly fixed, that neither heat,
air, nor moisture, can change them in the least.
JULES HAUEL’S VEGETABLE LIQUID HAIR
DYE may be used without any iil effects, (in which it
differs from ail others,) it leaves no unpleasant smell on
hair, nor gives it a false lustre, but produces colors which
are perfect fae si-niles of those of nature. Mny other
dyes are vended ia all parts of the country, but this is
rapidly superseding the use of all ethers. Be particular
in purct.a3.ng, that the name . f the proprietor is upon
the box.
For sale by all respectable Druggista and at the La
boratory and Wholesale Depot of JULES HAUEL A

TO PLANTERS.
Tho subscriber respectfully informs the Cotton Plant
ers o’ Georgia and South Carolina, that he ha* entered
the above improved Giu at five difi’erent Fairs, in compe
titiou with nine other Gins, and the Committee have in
variably decided that my Gin was entitled to the first
premium—and I have been awarded two s>o Silver
Pitchers in Augusta. I entered at three Fairs in homh
Carolina. At ColnmbisL the Committee said Iwasen
i tiled to the Gold Medal three to one over two other com
reting Gl s—but my Gin was ruled ont. because not oi
South Carolina manufacture. At tbe Charleston Fair,
however, the Committee awarded me the FIRST PRE
MIUM—a framed diploma—over the very Gin that re
caivei the Gold Medal at Columbia—w ich distinstly
shows my G>n to be the best entered at all the Fairs.
I have made another improvement on my Ribs —which
I maintain places them far in advance of all other Gins.
1 can make my Ribsequal to two sets by simoly turning
a cast button under the top screw-board, by which means
I obtain the advantage ot having one place to gin Dry
Cotton through, and another to gin Dan*p , Storm and
lellntc Cotton through—which improves the c'ttou. and
makes the Gin last twice as long as the common ribbed
Gin will last.
