time afterwards to ask permission to communicate
it under oath of eternal secrecy to a friend of his
who needed every possible aid to enable him to

“ Let me see,” said Stuart, unking a chalk mark
on a board at hand, “ I know the art and that is—”
“ One,” said his iriend.
” You know it,’ continued Stuart, making an
other mark by the side of the one already made,

Goino to Pike’s Peak.— The N. O True Delta
of the 26th, says Steamboat officers reporta
(Uirions spectable on the Missouri. From K msas
City to St. Joseph seems like one continuons en
campmeut of an army, or two hostile armies, on
two opposite shores. The numerous tents covering
the ground are filled with human beings, and from
them are constantly heard the sound of revelry
The fact is, the crowd at present on the way to Pike’s
Peak from the Missouri river, take up so much
space on tbe plains, that thousands have to wait at
the river until the roads are so clear that there will
be no uauger of the emigrants jostling each other,
os if they were in the eireets of New York or St.
Louis. Every boat leaving this po. t goes out
crowded with the Peakers From daylight uutil
dark, they besiege all tbe Missouri river boat* in
large numbers, seeking pvsAge.

Old Wines —At a recent auction sale of the

HiruDiATiJK* th* administration— Mr Mon
tague, the Dejiuvrs ic caudida'e for Lieutenant
Gove’ivir of Virginia,is reported by the Fredericks
burg News, to bave used the following language iu
a recent discussion with Mi Goggin, the Whig
oun.ida r e for Governor, in Caroline county :
Mr Montague said, ** I voted for Mr. Buchanan
on the Cue nnati platronn—but he ha* decct red me
H< if a trait** to kts partj % and, so help me, my
Creator, I'U never vote for him apmn.”
Hera is a * ecimeu ot Democratic haimony. In
eome section* it ie treason to go against Mr. Buch
anan. and in others treason lo go for him. What
are honest Democrats to do since their parry has
come to eueb a pas?. For ourselves, we believe Old
Buck is far more honest, patriotic and dependibie
than tee Democrats who oppose and viilify him
He bae made some ugly blunders, but in the main
bis adinm stratum has been natioual and just to ail
sections.— tiacann ihßeyotican.
A Curious Fact. —Mi Buokhod, the great na
tnraliet. of the chameleon : “ Betwixt the two
sides of the body there seem? a lack of sympathy.
Oae may be looking straight forward, while the
otner is looking as directly backward One may
be entirely asleep, while the other is wide awake
And this kind of independent and separate action
applies to each side of the creature —to its Limbs
It cannot swim, because its limbs refuse to act in
concert Could the two sides unde? stand one an
other. and agree on a prescribed course if action, it
might always be awake or half awake. But it gams
nothing by its unilateral mdepeDOency; the two
eides are like two horses that wont draw in harness
It teeau strange, with such a peculiarity, that ou
trees, or terra firma, th* creature should be ab e to
make any progress. But as the two sides are f*d
by cn* mouth, and at the insect tribes refuse to
Cv-me to it, so they seem, in regard to all eu inary
MU* to sgrt-e to sink their and ffsreaces, and to
mo\e uin harmony. The stomaon if a potent
banxiouiicr.’*
Adt A sex*i*t i* bCi*>Ck.—The striking ad
vaiiv tin • u material ncienoe is well demonstrated
by thr HifUiiy ot British Patented Inventions ’in
the A “or Horary, New York It appears from
the elaborate work, that from 1610 to liOO, a pe
riod ! ninety years, there were on y two hundred
and s.x y-seven patents taken out. from 1700 to
fbOO, a whole century, only two thousand and eix
ly but from 1600 to 1851, the number increased
tea fjld over the preceding century, Tix : eleven
thousand; and Iron 1851 to 1855 there were nine
thousand, or a still vastly accelerated ratio of gain.
The same is true t f invmtoms in America.
Another New Colont —De ia Webster, who
will be remembered as the “school ma’m who was
going to rev* iution xe the peculiar insolation” of
Kentucky, has arrived at Madison, Ind., with about
thirty taouiiee from Massachusetts, with the iuten
tiou *f starting a shoe factory on her farm, which is
rt*iatd on the oiuffs of tne Ohio river below Mil
ton.
An exchange, while commenting upon the pre
vailing corruption in high etatiocs under the prevent
powais that be. suggests that the past bas farnithed
to the world an age ot iron, and a golden age, and a
itaceo ag* t ana an age of bree*, and lastly ts inks
1 hat the present must be an age of steal.

Pr*cniment# of Grand Jury of
Lincoln county Superior Ccurt, April Term, 18.9.
We, the Grand Jury, chosen and sworn at the preeent
Term, report as follows :
I he Grand Jury recommend the Inferior Court to pay
J. F. Mathews a reasonable compensation for the build
ing of a Bridge across Fishing Creek, on the old Bea
man road.
The Jury, finding the Roads “jeneraUy in a bad condi
tion, recommend that the Inferior Court will have the
road laws stringently enforced.
They find, through their committee appointed to ex
am ne tde Ordinary s books, that they are neatly and
accurately kept. Also, the committee appointed to ex
amine the books of the Inferior and Superior Courts, find
them neatly and well kept.
We have examined, through our committee, the fun is
be onging to the Poor Si hool Fund and find the Ordi
nary had on hand, at the last settlement with the Grand
Jury, the sum of $2Ol 26. and has received from the
Tax the sum of 8494 35, tax for 1858 ; and also received
from State, 871; making in tbe aggregate the sum
oi $766 61; and we find the Ordinary has disbursed the
sum o 8*96 87, including commissions, leaving a bal
ance of $69.74, 26th April, 1859.
We recommend the Inferior Court to levy a tax of 20
per cent for poor school purposes.
We recommend the Inferior Court to permit Reuben
8. Wiilinguam to peddle in this county, without paying
for iieense.
We also request our Representatives to use their ex
ertions to have a law passed, in the next Legislature, to
pay the Grand Jury ot Lincoln c-unty for their time
whilst attending Court.
We recommend the Inferior Court to have the Blinds
to the Court House repaired and substantially fixed up ;
and also the Jail Blankets kept in better order, &.c.
We find in the hands of the Couuty Treasurer the
sum of $469 11, subject to defray the expenses of tbe
county, with pr per vouchers for his expenditures ; and
his bouks neatiy and properly kept.
We recommend the luferior Court to levy a tax of 50
per cent, upon tbe State Tax, for county purposes, out
of which a fund is to be set apart, sufficient o support
the paupers of the county.
By an Act, assented to 11th December last, one hur -
dred thousand dollars was appropriated for educational
purposes. If this Act Is deiigned to form a neucius,
aoout which are to be gathered ail elements of an avail
ab.e common schoo system, it meet* our approbation;
il it is to cone itute another legislative blu der, ripe for
repeal aasoonaa unacted, thu* making conius.on in edn
c&tiona; matters worse confounded, then we regret the
passage cf the Act. But we hope lor better things, and
that initiatory steps being taken, may finally result in
the establishment oi such a system a3 will meet the
wa* taos the country.
By the second section of the Act, each county is em
powered to dispose of the lund they respectively receive,
for educational purposes, in such manner as they may
Bee fit and proper; the pan for each county to b3 ce
viseu by the Grand Jury thereof and Ordinary. ‘1 be
Grand Juries and Ordinaries of counties in which Courts
have been held, have adopted various plans, exhib.ting
wide differences of opinion; all of which have been
evidently based upon the hope that a perftet system
may be ultimately attained by legislative enactment.—
Should tho Legislature amend and perfect the Act, and
increase the fund, so as to render it available, as design
ed, the plans may prove beneficial in dev eloping a sys.
tem commensurate with the wants of the people.
II being our duty, jointly with the Ordinary to adopt
some plau for distributing the fund lu our county, vre
Lave select and the following, as btst suited to those in
terested, aud as we think, entirely icsponsive to the in
terest and meaning ot the Act:
The Poor School fund, annually raised by the county,
should be expended for the instruction ol the poor chil
dren, in the elementary branches of education, at the
rate of seven and a half (71) ct ms for t ach day tnat each
scholar shall attend schoo.; any surplus of said fond to
brt ro/.r-ined by the Ordinary, and added to the fund of
the year following The amount to be received uuder
t'ne Act recited, shall be appropriated :
Ist. To the tuition of poor children, should the county
funds fall short.
2d. We recommend that the Inferior Court, at the
n xt Term, appoint one Trustee for each sbool in tLe
county.
The balance of the fund shall be paid by the Ordinary
to each Trustee so appointed, for the benefit of their
respective scho ls, either in bunding or repairing school
houses, furnishing same, or be applied to payment of
tuition. The T rustee so receiving Lis proportionate part
of the fund, shall receipt lor the same to the Ordinary.
We allow the Ordinary five per cent, on disbursements
of said fund.
The Executive of the Slate having requested certain
inforrjjation from the Ordinary, as to the number of
children of different sexes taught the elementary and
higher branches of education, the teachers of tho differ*
eat academies and schools in the county are requested to
procure a copy of the questions to be answered irom the
Ordinary, and make their return to him by the first of
September next.
Hopine that the Legislature, at its next session, will
perfect the system inaugurate* 1, we take leave of the
subject.
In taking leave of His Honor, Judge Thomas, we can
not too strongly express our high appreciation of the
distinguished ability and dignified impartiality with
wh ch he has presided over tbe presev t Term of the
Court —wo congratulate the people of ihe Circuit upon
the happy selection they have made in selecting him to
the Bench.
We tender our thanfes to Mr. Solicitor Daniel, for his
courtesy and attent on.
We request that our P resentments be published in
tbe Chronicle It Sentinel rad Coast tutionalist.

SARSAPARILLA
AND
IODIDE OF POTASSIUM.
Medicine is offered as one of the best prepara
-1 tions of Sarsaparilla extant, and as a curative reme
dy has won great favor at Nashville, Tenn, and other
Southern cities The Medical Faculty authorize its use r
(havingbeen shown the recipe.) Asa BLOOD PURI*
PIER, there is no remedy equal to this compound, and
for the cure of a numerous progeny that owe their ori
gin and parentage to a htrumous Diathesis or Scrofulous
taimi n the constitution and in tho blood, such as White
Swelling, Cbrmc Ulcers of loug standing, Obstinate
Tetter, Kin* Worms, Sore Eyes, Scald Head, Byphilitic
Disorders, and other diseases of the skin and blood that
resist th- usual treatment. He can substantiate, by the
very best evidence in our city, its efficacy in nervous
and general Debility, Ir digestion or Dyspepsia, Inflam
mation of the Kidneys, Rheumatism, &,c., &c. It is con
tidently recommended in diseases peculiar to Females,
such a* Leuchorrhea or Whites, Suppressed Menstrua

satisfied with the result.

Charlotte, Tenn., Sept 15,1812
Mr. B. F. Williams : Instances are not rare where the
attending physician fails to cure well confirmed Scrofu
a TLe following memorandum is interesting ?
Subject—A girl of 15 or 16 year of age, the attend
.ap physician had failed to cure An anxious father had
consulted me, and from my knowledge of your prepara
tion, 1 was constrained to prescribe it After taking six
bo< ties she was considered well She was cured of a
deep seated ulcer aud a ernstant drain of milky matter
from one or more sores under the ear The entire lym
phatic system was deeply involved This case alone is
well worth the attention ot all—but when added to a
long catalogue of cases of great obstinacy, cured by no
Panacea, ior Nostrum, nor Patent Medicine, no Secret,
but aa invaluable preparation of Sarsaparilla, lodide of
Potassa, &e., well gotton up by the chemist, aud made
familiar to the intellgent physician, it very justly de
serves a tria’ by all laboring under any of the numerous
chronic maladies that afflict us.
J. R. Hudson, M. D.
Also this letter from Mr. Stevens:
Oakland College, Nov 20th, 1858.
Mr. J. F. McAvoy : Wi:h regard to your inquiry
about the “ Williams’ Sarsaparilla aud lodide of Potas
sa, M which I purchased of you, I have no hesitation in
affirming that it acted magically My sister was afflict
ed with a cutaneous eruption, which enveloped the head
and a large surface of ti e body, and which resisted all
medieal treatment I think that one bottle effected a
permanent cure, though I continued the treatment until
two bottles had been used. It has been eighteen months
since, aud as yet there has been no re appearance of the
disease. I have trequent.y expressed and reiterated the
opinion that it is the best reparation of Sarsaparilla in
use, and the addition of iodide of Potaasa enhances its
value ten-fold. Very respectlully, yours, See.,
C. E. Stevens.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE,
A WEEKLY LITERARY AND AGRICULTURAL PAPER,
XO BE PUBLISHED TINT AUGUSTA, GEO
DE. D. LEE, Agricultural Editor, * I \V. W. MANN, Literary Editor.
This U the title of a WEEKLY paper, devoted to Agriculture, Literature aud Art. which I
design to publish in Augusta, Geo. It will be in quarto form of eight pages, folio rize—each issue to con
tain forty columns of matter. It will be in general style similar to, and in i ize s mewhat larger than,
the New York Ledger. It will be published on good book paper, and will be in mechanical execution in
the best style of the typographical art. In utility, it will be all that the best agricultural science and
practical knowledge o: the South can furnish. A weekly visitor to the homes of o-*uthern planters aud
farmers, it will be more useful and acceptable to them than any monthly journal of equal merit.
In mental attractions it will be ail that a spirit of enterprise on my part, and a laudable emulation on
the part of others, can evoke from Southern intellect and cultivation.
Too long the Southern people have beeu oontent to look to Northern periodicals for instruction
agricultural matters, aud to Northern literary papers for mental recreation. There is, howevei, a grow
ing spirit of independence and of self-reliance at the Sourh. Our people are awaking to the conviction
that we have the elements of success in the experience, knowledge, and scientific investigation, of the
dwellers in our own Southern homes. The truth is gleaming upon us, that we have literary resources of
our own worthy to be fostered—that among Southern writers should be divided some portion ot that vast
stream of Southern money that flows perpetually northward to sustain Northern literature.
My aim is to establish a paper that will be a vehicle of information useful to Southern planters and
farmers, and a repository of Southern thought, imagination, and taste, iu the realms of Literature and
Arl; and to obtain for it such au extent of patronage aud success as will justify the most liberal compeu
i-a tion to all its contributors. Able and experienced Editors are engaged, and steps are inprogrees to
secure contributions from the most pleasing Southern writers, of both sexes. Much latent talent will be
brought to light, and furnish some agreeable surprises to Southern people,
“ Full many a gem, of purest ray serene,”
will flash before their admiring eyes, and cause a generous glow of pride in Southern genius.
The Agricultural Editor will be Dr. Daniel Lee, the distinguished Pro.eesor of Agriculture in the
University of Georgia—editor for many years past ot the Southern Cultivator, aud a leading contributor
to many Northern agricultural journals of the highest reputation.
The Literary Editor will be Mr. W. W Mann, of this city, an accomplished writer, of fine taste and
scholarly attainments, who, having retired from the active duties.of the legal profession, spent many years
in Europe, and was for several years the Paris Correspondent of the National Inteiligencer, and Southern
Literary Messenger.
The Southern Field and.Fireside will combine the useful and the agreeable. It will furnish the
Soatbrtrn farmer information useful iu every field he cultivates, and the Southern family choice literature,
the offspring of Southern intellect, worthy of welcome at every fireside. It will be in all respects, afi et
class paper—on a scale of expenditure more liberal than has yet been attempted in the South, and design
ed to rival in its merits the moet dis'iDguished of the North.
The first number will be issued ou the 28tb day ot May next.
Terms.— Cash in advance, $2.00 a year.

GROVER <fc BAKER’S
SEWING MACHINES.
REASONS why the GROVER a BAKER Machine
is umveraally preferred for amily sewing :
1. It is more simple and easier kept in order than any
other Machine.
2d. It makes a seam which wiii not rip or ravel,
though every third stitch is cut.
3d. It sews from two ordinary spools, ana thus U
trouble of winding thread is avoided, while the same
machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a mere change of
spool , to all varieties of work.
4th. The same machine runs silk, linen threvd, and
common spool cotton with equa facility.
sth. The seam is as elastic as the most elastic fabric,
so that it is free from all liability to break in wash
ing, ironing, or otherwise.
6th The stitch made by this machine is more beanti
ful than any other made, either by hand or machine.
Merchants can secure the sajea of these Machines in
their different localises, with profit to themselves and
their customers, by applying to the undersigned, owners
of the Right for Georgia.
These Machines are always on exhibition at their Sales
Room, on Broad si reet.

extensive and constantly increasing patronage the Fac

being erected, enables us to keep up the standard
of the goods and to secure n early delivery.
Planters or others, who may wish to send us wool to
be made into cloth, can send it dirty *f clean—if wash

VIOLIN ATTACHMENT.
Patented November 4th, 1!>57.
15 HE subscribers, being exclusive owners of this val
uable improvement, hereby ea>ls the attention of
all performers on the Violin to its advantages. The ob
ject ot this invention is to enable ordinary performers,
who finger only in the usual keys, (say, or.e, two, and
three sharps, or G. D. and A.,) to execute muHc IN
ALL THE KEYS, fingering iu those only to which
they have been ac< ustotr.ed. It is the invention of a
scientific Musician, ad will enable any performer to
play successfully IN THE MOST DIFFICULT KEYS,
witho t the expense, time and trouble necessary to at
tain scientiffc skill The variety of tone which it gives
to an innti ument, is really surprising ; and by its aid
the violin can be tuned in unison wit h any other instru
ment. It will enable any violin to be brought lip to
4 concert pitch’ without danger of breaking the strings ;
and to one who plays much, the saving in this respect
would soon pay f or the “Attachment.” It is so simple that
any o. e can understand how to apply it, ; Ed it can be
attached or detached in a inomont without defacing tbe
instrument. The *• Attachment,” with directions, will
be forwarded free of expense, to any one inclosing

Honey Blade Hungarian
GRASS SEED.
WE beg to call the attention of Agriemturists to
this highly valuable product. Experiments it
vari us parts of this country, have proved Its adapts
tion to the different varieties of soil and climate, and
fully established its claim to superiority over all other
Grasses
We have not space to enter into details, but will pre
sent briefly some of its advantages:
Ist. It will produce double the weight to the acre, in
any soil, than most other Grasses.
2d. The same weight possesses more nutriment, thus
in-uring the tanner more than doable tbe return for his
grounds (ban he can obtain from anv other forage plant
3d. Both Hay and Seed can be produced from the
same crop—the hay being equally as valuable as other
hay, while the Seed is as valuable as other grain lor
cattle, hogs, fowls, Sic , or it will sell at a fair price for
the manufacture < f oil.
4 h. It matures in so short a time that it can be sown
on ground* where other crops have failed, y drouth or
other causes, and at the same time yie.d a large return.
sth. In Northern climates, where clover and othei
grasses are sc metises killed out by hard winters, this
will yield a large crop—and In those sections of the
South where other gras.-es will not thrive at all, it will
grow very prolifi \
6th. It will stand all kind of weather, and whether
the season be wet or dry, the HONEY BLADE may be
relied on as a snre crop.
For further part cuiars, apply to tbe undersigned, who
will take pleasure io furnishing pamphlets containing
description of grass, certificates, directions for cultiva
ting, &.C
