Vhka Catz, June 27,1H59.
In my iaat f informed you that the U. 8. Miniater,
I’r. Mt’Cane, had deputed Capt. Farraanl, of the
■team sloop of war Brooklyn, to proceed to Ko
ble’s oamp, near the Nalional Bridge, and make a
formal demand for the specie by him detained
This action of our minieter wa* in virtue not only
of tlie demand made upon him by American citi
zens, interested in the conducts, but in obedience
to the requett of the citizen* of Hamburg, and other
tree cities ol Germany, re.-ident in Vera Cruz, who
in the absence of a representative of their own,
strongly invoked hi* protection, which protection
he promptly assured them he would give to the
same extent that he might be enabled to give it to
the right* and interest* of American citizens
Capt. Farragut was accompanied by Lient.
Adams, of the Brooklyn, and Mr. btowke, an Ame
rican citizen largely interested in the conducts.—
Gen Rubles received them very courteously and
treated them with all reepeot and consideration in
their interviews.
At first he seemed undecided how to act, bnt for
tunately just at this time, he received the despatch
from the commanders of the Briti*h and French
Meets at Sacriticios, in which they positively re
fused to receive the money on board their vessel*,
except at the solicitation of the owners of the mo
ney, and (he owners having unanimously refused
their consent to the shipping of the money on these
vessels, and Gen. Ruble*, thus being unatile to cany
out the orders of hie Government, at once surren
dered the conducta to Capt. Fariagut and Ihe Brit
ish and French Consuls —not, however, without
demanding and actually receiving thirty thousand
dollars, as a “ palm greasing,” from the committee
nt merchants sent up by the parties interested at
Vera Cruz.
Thus ended the conduola affair, so far as Robies
is concerned, and to day we have intelligence that
the money bs arrived nt the upper railroad depot,
and is at once to be brought down to the city Tbn
French and Knglieh merchants are etill loud in their
denunciation oi the coutse their ministers. Gabriac
and Otway, at the city of Mexico, have pursued in
this matter. But the most iuapeitinent and insult
ing part of the whole affair is, that this “ coble pair
of brothers” should counsel *ud advise, and even
presume to direct the disposal of the treasure of
American and Germanic citizens, without consult
ing them, and against their wiil.
It is said that the openly expressed determination
of our excellent Ameiu-.an Minister, Mr. Mri.s -e,
that he would prevent the embarcation of the trea
sure belonging to American and Germanic citizens,
if needs be, by the power of our naval forces at
Vera Cruz, had great weight in determining the
Franch and British commanders, in refusing to
embark the money on Iheir vessels, and also in
causing Kublee to surrender it up without further
difficulty.
The news from the contending parties in the in
terior and from the capital is not of the slightest
possible interest. No important movement has
any where been made sine* my last. Vein Cruz
and the shipping in port still continue healthy.

Irour two uiillions go to day. These fact* speak
louder and mere potently than ail tlie newspaper

having his bed stuffed full of gold watches, jewelry
aud gold and silver coin, amounting, (the gold coin

China —The ship Mary Sutton has arrived in

The topic which was engaging the greatest
share of public attention was tbe reception likely
to be accorded the Btitish Minister, (doily expected
from Eugland) upon his yisitmg Pekin to exchange
Che ran Leu treaties. That there were misgivings as
to the intentions of tbe Emperor on. this subject,
was abundantly clear—and that Lord Elgin tailed
in arranging the matter with the High Commission
ers, was .qnaliy so. Otherwise tbe strong force
which has been equipped to accompany the Minis
iater, would not only be supeitluous, but its display
would evince a degree of distrust that might by no
means tend to accelerate friendly relatione. It was
pre.ty wed understood that the British Minister
wornd only visit Pekin in the first instance, tor tae
puipo e of exchanging the ratified Ireaiiee—and
thet he would then lake up his residence at Shang
hai. The Chinese in the Moith are described as
being iu a state of gieat anxiety respecting this
visit to Pekin
It is said that the Kussiaiis have established their
legation at Pekiu, ana that their minister has been
attended there by a large retinue, but tfict he has
already had a diflerscie with the Chinese Cloven,
meat, from Ins refusing commum-ate c-fEcialiy
with any one but the Emperor himself.

Denver City, June 14, 1859.
The most convincing evidence of tlie recovery of
this and a neighboring placer, from the general
prostration that prevailed in both localities at the
tiu.e of and three weeks after my arrival, is furnish
ed by the great activity percoptibie in every branch
of business at the present moment. A lively in
tercourse between ihe two points is kept up by
regular pack trains, the demands of which upon
our merchants have already produced a very in
convenient reduction ol their stocks. Owing to
the large shipments made by Messrs hus.-ell &.
Jones, prices have experienced a considerable fall.
6ugar can be bought for 25 cents; coffee for 35;
flour for 15 cents per pound, etc.—a great differ
ence from the exorbitant price cm rent that prevail
ed some four weeks ago.
In addition lo the briskness in mercantile circles,
the erection of various improvements in both towns
has been resumed. Buildings that had been left in
a half finished condition, with the expectation of
allowing them to remain so for all time to come,
ogam reveal a display of the skill of carpenters.
A shade is the inevitable effect of light, thus the
comparative present prosperity of this locality is
productive of many phenomena, the apparition ol
which forms no just cause of congratulation on the
part of this community. One ol tUese ia tte open
ing of a public gambling establishment. In the
bar room of the leading hotel, faro banks arc kept,
and monte and rouietie are played from sun-up to
sun-down. The flourishing condition of these insti
tutions furnishes atro. g testimony in favor of the
fact that there is now considerable money m this
country. Hut a remarkable feature of this phase of
social life in this latitude is that the patrons of the
gaming tables are not successful miners, but mostly
newly arrived immigrants. Hard coin and gold
dust form the gambling medium. I saw an .indi
vidual this morning that eports the title of “Judge”
basely engaged in emptying hie purse of eagles.
One of the discharged drivers of the Express Coni

The Galena Advertiser, ol the 4th inst., says :
“Mr. Evans passed cna month in the mines,
prospect in* himself in the mountains a part of the
time and hiring others to do so for him. The result
was so near nothing ns not to be worth the speaking
of. Ho instances thirteen men who prospected
eleven days faithfully, and found in that time gold
to the value of one dollar and thirty cents ! This,
we .judge, was the full average oi success. He was
at tne Gregory diggings’ a lew days before he letl
to return, and saw nothing to compare with the
successful mining certified to by Mr. Greeley. He
saw four men who had been at work five months,
at an expense in money of five hundred dollars, be
side Iheir labor. The avails of their work was siiO
in gold.
Distressing Casualties —We learn from El. F.
Stafford 6l Company from Leavenworth, the follow
ing particulars of misfortune to their train when
about lino miles trom this place :
On the 30tb of April, while traveling, a German
in the compauy, by the name ol’ Michael ilender
lin, was walking in the rear of one ot the wagons, and
suddenly fell dead, being shot. It appeared that a
loaded gun had been placed in the wagon, and the
precaution cf taking the cap off had been used, al
though enough of the percuseipn must have adhered
to the tube to have caused itj explosion by the
j'oltiug ot the wagon or some other means unknown,
The next day, May 1, being Sunday, the company
lay in camp m ar the sixth station on the express
route. About four o’clock in the afternoon it com
menced to hail, and about live a tremeudioua wind
•toffla ojr whirlwind was seen approaching in the di
rection of me nump. Most lied and lay flat on the
grass. Six wagoiid were encamped, five of which
were taken up by the wind and scattered for four
miles and broken to pieces ; wheels were broken up,
and spo ea found imbedded b>.lf their depth in the
earth; the tire of ope wheel was found nearly straight
ened out. Three of tiit w ago us were emireiv desti uy-
and the otheruconsiderably damaged. Qxecwer©
taken up several foot from tie ground, and provis
ions, clothing, Ac., were scattered -all over tlie
prairie. Several of the parly were struck with tbe
missiles that were blowing about, and severely in
jured; and one man, Win. Michellree of Mo., died
psght days after of the injuries received.
Death ok a GgoAufA^.—We are pained to no

He fell and expired i: stantly.
Causes or Sodden Death.— Dr. Hall in his
Journal of Health, says that very few of the sud
den deaths yliiph ,Hf said to arise from diseases of
the heart, do really aijae tropi that pause To as
certain the real origin of sudden death, the proctor
says, the experiment has been tried in Europe ana
reported to a scientific congress held at Stras
httrgb. Sixty-six cases of sudden death were made
the subjects of a thorough posl morteie examina
tion. Iu these cases, only two were found who
died irom diseases of the heart. Nine out of
the sixty six died from apoplexy, while there were
torly-s|X cases of congestion of the lunqt —that is,
the lungs were so lull ot blood th a y pouui no., wepk,
there noi being room enough for a eufiicieut quan
tity of air to enter to support life.
T];e Doctor goes on to enumerate the causes that
may produce congestion pf the lungs, ’('hey are,
cold feet, tight shoes, tight clothing, costive bowele,’
sitting eti'l until chilled through after being wanned
by labor or a rapid walk ; going too suddenly from
S (lioee. heated room into the cold air, especially
aftc. sp-agiug , and midden depressive news cdi
rating ou the blood, phese ipc. sos tudfieu death
being known, an avoidance ot them may serve to
lengthen our valuable lives, which would otherwise
be lost, under the-verdict of a heart complaint.—
That disease is supposed to be inevitable, and inou
laoio, and .hence men may not take the pains they
would to avoid sudden death, if they knew it lay in
their power.
Dead Letters —lt is stated that the number of
dead letters annually returned to the Department is
about ‘3,250,000. About *bi,(MK) annually are found to
contain money and other valuables, and are, as sown
as found, registered and returned to their owners.
Tbe aggregate contents of the letters thus annually
restored to the owners is about $60,000 iu money,
and about $3,00(1,000 in drafts, checks, notes and
other valuables, computed at their nomiual value.
A general impression seems to prevail that most of
the dead letters fail to reach their intended destina
tion, through some faults of tbe postal system or the
carelessness of postmasters. It can easily be de
monstrated that the reverse is the case. Os the
10,000 letters a year that are found to contain
drabs, checks and valuables other than money,
moat of which are sent by hankers, merchants and
busiren meu, a large number are, on examination,
found to be misdirected—bearing a different ad
dress on the envelope from that inside tbe letter—
and as many more are apparently misdirected, or
the writing is illegible, or susceptible of various
readings, or held for want ol pre-payment of pos

Keallt a Tartar.—A subecriber, irom Media,
Delaware county, Pa., writes ns as toliows. “ One
oay last week a little child was so severely injured
as to place its life in great danger, by a game ecck
of Dr. Cooper’s celebrated Tartar breed. The child
was passing through Dr. Cooper’s large game
chiokery. well filled with the • gods of the leathered
tribe,” when he was attacked by a large seven
pound cock, kuocked and pecked and spurred to
euob au extent that only good medical care wiil pre
serve his life. At every blow tbe long spurs ot the
savage fowl entered the tender fieeh of the helphsss
little boy. who was only relieved from his dangerous
situation by the approach of the servant with a
broom stick. The savageness of this breed is also
aptly illustrated by the confine t of one of the hens.
Whiie wandering iu a field, the day prior to the
above incident, a large chicken hawk lit uponjone
of her young. She immediately attacked the hawk,
and eo disabled it that Dr. Cooper was enabled to
capture it. The Doctor has published a work on
b: game fowls, and would doubtless bare taken
pride iu mentioning the above, had they occurred
a little sooner. ’ —Charleston Mercury.
The Only Son ce his Mother —A correspon
dent of the New fork Evening Post, writing Irom
the seat ot war. says :
One sees on all sides the blue trowsers and white
jackets of the Austrians, who felt here in great
numbers. In one place 1 saw e ght Zouaves lying
close to each other, iu a small ravine, near the rail
road. Around the eight dead Frenchmen I counted
the bodies of two hum.red and three Austrians. This
will give you some idea of the dreadful slaughter
that was made of them The bayonet is the arm
that they dread most. While under cover or drieg
a: a distance, they stand well the attack; but the
moment they see that the French troops are about
to attack t with the bayonet, they at once
retreat. This accounts for the immense number of
them ‘hat are tided. Aias, it ie a sad thing to tee
the sacks aud other equipments of the dead plied
up. Letters and many i.t.le tokens of affection arc
taken m charge by some of the, tit ere appointed to
that duty, but stilt, when so many are k:hed. many
thir. s must be uecessaii'.y overlooked. I picked
up one of the sacks that a ere tu piles near the

from a mother to her ouiy son. Sshe concluded by

Talbot, Stegar, of Pike.
Tbe committee retired, and after a short absence
returned, and reported through their chairman, CoL
Hammond, the loilowing resolutions, w’hich were,
on motion, unanimously adopted:
Tue American and Opposition party of the Third
Congressional District, viewing with alarm the dis
crgan.zed state of parties throughout tlie country,
the corruption of the party in power, and the inevi
table teuceucy cf the present exciting questions to
an overthrow of our cherished insti.uLons, deem it
proper to ignore ail m.uor differences, and unite
upon a common platform in defence of our national
interests and Southern Rights , therefore,
Resolved, Ist. That the Constitution of the United
States is the beat basis of our political rights, ami
that all attempts, either North or South, to override
its limits, or defeat its legitimate powers by higher
laws, or an overstrained construction of its princi
ples, is injurious to us both as a Southern and a
National people.
Resolved, .Id. That we are opposed to uniting ths
sword, purte and war making power in the hands
of the President, and believe That the interests of
the South require that we should no longer trust our
destinies to the laithiesa policy of the Administra
tion. It has left the Treasury bankrupt—attempted
to revive a ruinous Tariff’ policy, and projected a
Pacific ltaiiroad scheme, requiring a large outlay
of public money, which wiil Lend to add strength to
the North to the disadvantage ar.d inequality of the
.South in the Union—and which, it accomplished,
will become a source of corruption in coming Fed
erai Administrations, unexampled in the history of
this country.
Resolved, 3J. That the 44 Northern Democrats,
with Mr. Douglas as the leader, have proved faith
lees to the pledges of Southern Democrats, as we
prophesied and expected, and the South can no
longer rely upoii them for the maintenance of our
rights in tlie territories of the Union.
Resolved , 4 ih. That the Democratic party in or
der to maintain theii power in the E’ederai Govern
ment, have again, in their recent Convention in
Miliedgeville, virtually iguored our rights, and en
dorsed the slavery poiioy of the Administration,
and had not the courage to proclaim the true eenti
ineuts of the South, for fear it would interfere with
their chances of office and public plunder.
Resolved, oik. We believe there are conpervative
men North, who deplore Uje incessant agitation of
slavery, and cesire that it should cease ; but we
cannot look with confidence to any political party
North for our rights in relation thereto ; nor can
we affiliate with, or eupport for office, any man,
North or South, who would quietly submit to any
more compromises of the rights of the South, or in
favor of the Cincinnati platform, with its double
construction, but believe the South should boldly
proclaim the whole theory of her rights upon the
question of slavery, and maintain them, “though
discord reign forever.’’
Resolved, 6 tk. That it is the duty of to
protect slp.very in the territories, until the power
to establish or abolish it, is vested in q territorial
Convention by vii tue of their sovereign capacity
in* firming a State Constitution prior to admission
in the Union, and that a territorial legislation ha?
no right to exclude slavery, or to pass any police or
municipal laws, that wou.d interfere with its abso
lute enioyment or tolerate alien suffrage.
Reso/ved, 7Hi. That the Kanaas-Nebraska Act,
with its Northern construction, waa a fraud on the
South ; ana we consider the final termination con
nected therewith in the passage of the English Biii
aa clear proof of the charge we make.
Resolved, Blh, That we are pained to announce
the determination of our immediate
Hon. R. P. Trippe, to decline a re-election to Con
gress. We believe him to be capable, patriotic
and honest, and hereby tendeyhim our beat wishes
lor bia prosperity, apd deeply regret any cause for
his retirement.
There was some debate £3 in the mode of voting,
but the Convention finally determined that those
counties having two members of the Legislature
be entitled to three votes, and those having three
members be entitled to five votes.
On motion of Mr. Reese, of Taylor, it waa re
solved that a majority efthe wfioie number of votes
ca.it be necoiisaiy to a choice.
It beiujj qnuouaced that the Convention wa?
ready to ballot for a candidate to represent the tid
District in Cocgretthe names of Capt. Thomas
Hardemao, of Bibb ; Col. David P. Hill, of Harris;
Col. Peter W. Alexander, of Upson ; and Col. A.
G. E’ambro, of Upson. [Col. Fambro’s name was
withdrawn soon after it was announced ]
The following are the ballotings :
Ist Ballot—Hardeman 19J, Hill 11, Alexander

:3d Ballot—Hardeman 201, Hill \2. Alexander

3d Ballot —(fjr. Hill being withdrawn,) Hard*-
man received tli voles, Ale xander 11, scattering 8.
The President having declared Tbcs. Hardeman,
Jr., of Bibb, to have received a majority of alt the
voter cast, Mr. Banks, of Forsyib, moved that the
nomination be made unauimoue. Adopted.
t)n motion, the President appointed Messrs. T.
T. Stubbs l Dr. S. li. Sanders,end A. D. Ilammona,

n t; ion, and request his acceptance of the same.

tion , and that all papers throughout the State favo
rable to our cause, he r equested to copy.
On motion, the thanks of tlie Convention were
tendered to its officers for tbp faithful discharge of
their duties.
On piotiqn, the Convention adjourned sine die.

vention ioud calls were made for Col. Peeples, of

•Hr. Ilardeuiuu’N Reply.
Macon, July 11, 1859.
Messrs. Hammond . Stubbs.and Saunders :
Gentlemen : —Your favor in forming me of the
action of the American and Opposition party, re
cently held in Forsyth, snouid have been answered
earlier, but for my abaeuoe from the city.
While accepting as 1 do, the nomination so flat
teringly tendered me, allow ine to eav, 1 do eo with
many misgivings as to my ability (if elected) to
disoharge the responsible duties that wiil devolvo
upon those who will constitute tiie next Congress.
The signs of the times oieariy indicate that the ap
proaching session wiil be an exciting and stormy
one. The North bent upon power, urged on by
unholy ambition and fanatical zeal, will enter the
balls of cur National Legislature powerful in num
bers, and resolute in purpose—determined to carry
out those measures that will inure to thair political
strength, though in eo doing they violate the provi
sions of our Constitution, infringe upon the rights
of tbe States, and leave the South hopeless and
powerless. To meet such an array of opposition,
the South should be represented by her oldest and
wisest heads—men, who, knowing the interests and
rights of their section, will dare maintain them.
The hxßtory of the South has been that of com
promise. Attached to the Union for the sake of
that Union, &he Las submitted to injuries and ag
gressions, until the power that assails her, embol
dened by her submission, now boldly assert and
demand that which at cne time they modestly in
sinuated. These aggressions snouid cease—the
day of compromise has passed—action, fearless,
determined action, in the maintenance of her honor
and her rights is the only hope and eslvation of tbe
South. Snouid Ibe honored by the people of the
Third Congressional District with a t*eat in Con
gress, I shall act with no party, American, Opposi
tion or Democratic, that does not recognize and
respect the constitutional rights oi tho&e I represent;
and he who for tho sake ol the unity of his party,
would wink at insult and aggression, is unworthy
the si ffrage of a iree and independent people.
Looking upon some of the measures of the pres
ent administration as ruinous in their results and
dangerous to the interest of people, I shall op
pose them heartily, zealous;/. The wasteful ex
travagance—the one man power—he* mammoth
project of a Pacific railroad and the tariff’ policy of
the present Federal executive, are subjects of seri
ous and bitter condemnation. They me opposed to
the principles of a republican government and
subversive of the interest and power of the peo
ple. L okieg at the present aspect of affair*, a
united North, a divided South, a bankrupt govern
ment —wed may we ask, “whither are we drifting ?“
Eviis exist that should be remedied—extravagances
that should be checked —usurpations that should
cease—and though of myself I could affect nothing,
yet I will heartily co-cpcraie with those of any par
ty, who wiil make an effort to remove these oausea
of complaint, and restore our government to her
firimitive purity and simplicity I have long since
oet coEtiaecce in political resoives and party plat
forms, They are made to be broken and to deceive
We need but one plank upon which to standj
that is the Constitution. Positioned fi&r*. iat us
abide by its provisoes—aok for nothing more, be
sa.iifieu with nothing less Tiffs is the duty we
owe curseivtrt, and ts who lalters in the discharge
of it is unworthy to represent an intelligent cou
atituency.
Thanking the Convention for the hocoi conferred
upon me, and wishing you individually success and
and prosperity. I am with high consideration,
\'our ob t aerv't,
T. Hardeman, Jr,
Tee I'. S. Government cn Articles Contra
band OF War —An imp rtant Sifili paper as to tue
position of toe United litotes upon the questions of
neutral rights fiua ueeu comp.eted and was dis-
Da to ned to ail our Ministers in Europe by the
Persia, on Wednesday. The principal points &.-•
with reference to a limitati. nos articles which
shall be deemed contraband of war. The United
States holds that nothing should be embraced in
this list bnt ths direct and immediate munitions of
warfare, suit as pewder, muskets, cannon, lead
ana saltpetre. Ac. Coal, which is the very founda
tion of manufacturing and commerciai transitions,
is declared by the United States nut to be contra
band of war, aid any attempt to construe it other
wisp wilt be viewed as an encroachment upon our
commerce. So. also, are breadstuffs not contra
band of war. The broad doctrine is also reiterated
that a free nag covers the cargo. Whilst the dis
patch makes no aiinsicn to privateering, it is well
understood, ass settled principle of the American
doctrine, that under no circumstances will we
abandon that right.
An old bachelor friend, says that the young ladies
who rejoice iu a multiplicity of rings, chains, lock
ets, etc., to the unparalleled extent now fashionable,
should be labelled like wetohee in windows—"war
ranted full jeweled.”

CHARLESTON, July 15 — Cotton.— At tbe close of
our last weekly report, we quoted Good Middling at Ilf
a life. The operations iu the early part of tne current
week were made upon the bads of these quotations, and
when we closed our inquiries on Tuesday afternoon la a
some 1413 bales hud changed hands. The run was prin
cipally on the Middling grades, and as the week pro
gressed there wa* a noticeable stringency in the prices
paid for these qualities, but no and. ciotd change for he
better can be tail to have b-en established over the
opening rates. The better grades, on the other hand,
have been partially neglected, and there was occasion
ally a slight 1-t down ;n p rices, and the margin of quota
tions, a; wll be seen, has been a iittie widened A gen
ual opinion, however, prevailed jesterday that the
market ciosed very nearly, it not actually, at the quota
tions giveD in cur report ot the Bth ins:. The receipts
since our last reach 24-30 bales, anil tie sales in the same
time root up, in round numbtrs, some 3000 bales. We
quote Low to S’rict Middling 10} a 11} ; Good Middling
Ilf 211f; and Middling Fair Ilf a> 12 cents.
Rue —There has been a fair demand fi r thia article
since our l&t. The bulk of the salt s were made at
$3.87} 2sl per hundred.
Corn. —Tbe arrivals by Railroad embrace 390 bushels
at 95 cents </ si.
Flour —1 he market continues \o wear a languid and
drooping appearance. Some 700 bbls. Superfine have
been taken for export, at $6jJ per bbl The bakers have
been supplying themselves with sacks at $3 and 3} per
sack.
Hay —The receipts since our kst comprise 600 bales,
500 of which were sold at 93 cents. whßh is about ihe
present market price for sale in any quantity
Wheat. —The market continues to be very much ne
glected, and orice* are nominah
liacon —The market presents no m*w feature The
sales have been limited to small lots of Si iff 8, principal y
ct 10} and 10}c for good and prime meat, and Shoulders
have been selling mostly at 7} and 72 ?.
Grocer is —The market continues very quiet, and, in
deed, so limited have been th': transactions that it may
almost be said to have been brought to a stand.
Exchanges— Sterling Bills are very s .ai*vt', ami have
a decided advancing tendency, and v/- re quoted at the
close of the week at 9}'36f per ceut. premium. We
hwo no other change to notice. There is a great
scarcity of Northcxn Sight Exchange, and .t remains to
he seen whether the market wi 1 continue at the quota-
current at the close of business.
Freights —The vessels noticed in our li ;t es shipping,
as loading for Liverpool and Havre, have completed
their cargoes. The last engagements to the former
port were at 5-16d. for Cotton ineqaare bales, and to
the litter at 3c. Recent to New Yoik
per steamers have betn made as follows, via \ 10c per
bushel for Wheat, 2009 buthe.s having been shipped at
this price ; Flour, 33c per bbl and lsc per sack ■, Colton
20c., and by sailing vessla, Cotton 62}^75?,.
SAVANNAH, July l-j. —Cation —Tee business dTiricg
the week has boen of the same limited character as we
h&ve previously reported, and prioes have been hardly
s nx'ni. though holders are willing to yield but very lit
tie. The quotations we offer are as high as sales ci übe
effected ii pressed, while buyers, in seekieg purchases,
Had d.facility in lilliDg orders without paj ing prices ful
ly up to ihe.rn. Up to Wednesday the market was q iie
linn, but the Canada's accounts had a tendency to make
sellers more conciliating, and s-oall lots changed hands
at easier pi ices than were offered previous to their re
ceipt. T here has not beeu suificii-nt change to warrant
any alteration iu our quotations, ?vud we renew those of
fered last week :

PATENT MEDICINES
’ THE LIVER
OVIGORAT©R
PEEPAKKD BY DP.. SANFORD.
Compounded entirely from Gums,
IS one of the best purga’lves aud Liver Medicines now
before the public, tbat acts as a Cathartic, easier,
milder, aud more effectual than a- y other medicine
known. It is not on y a Cathtiie, but a Liver remedy, i
acting first on Use Liver to ject it* morbid matter, then
on the stomach and bowels to carry off that matttr. thus
accomplishing; wo purposes effectually, vritbcut any of
the painful feelings experienced in the operations of
most Cathartics, it strengthens the system at tbe same
time that it purges ;t; and whoo taken daily in moder
ate doses, will strengthen and build it up with uuusual
vapidity.
The LIVER is of the *p iocipal regulators of the
human body; aud when it ft*, performs its functions well
the powers of the f>y*texn f"H are fully ceveloped. The
stomach is almost entirely on the healthy
actiou of the Liver for the proper performance of its
functions when the stomH ach is atfiauU, the bowels
are at fault, and the whole “system suffers in conse
quence <f ore organ—the 1 Live-—having ceased to
do its dnt v. For the diseas es of that organ, one of the
proprietors has made it jhisstude, in a practice of
more than twenty years, to find some remedywhere
with to counteract tlm p**, many derangements to
which it is liable.
To prove that this re ‘\J rnedy is at last found, any
persons troubled With Liv rk e* complaint iu any
of its forms,has but to try a bolt e and couvic: ion is
certain. l i
The? e Gums remove all morbid or bad matter from
the system, suDp'yiag in their place a beaithy flow
of bile, invigorating the stomach, causing food to
digest well, puritying tbe blood, giving tone and
health to the whole rna / ehinery, removing the
cause of tbe disease—e’ r“i fecting a radical cure.
One dose after eating is sufficient to relieve the
stomach and prev i\L the ’ food from rising and sour
ing.
Only one dose taken befote retiring prevents
nightmare.
Only one dose taken at rj* night loosens the bowels
gently, and cures eostiv ness
On cdosetaken after each i meal will cure Dyspepsia.
dose ot two tea sp onfuls will always re
lieve Sick Headache. <
One bottle taken for male obstruction removes
the causa cf the disese. Sand makes a perfect cure,
inly no dose
One doee # often repeated is a sure care foi Chol
era Morbus, and a pre rT\ ventivo af Cholera
One done tnkeu often j*-* will prevent the reference
of Bilious Attacks while a it relieves ail painful feel

One bottle takeL for rH J aundice removes all
yellowness or unnatural color from the skin.
One do;>e tr.keu a short time before eating gives
vigor to the appetite aud r_ makes food and gest well.
One dose often repeated cures Chronic Diart ha*
in its worst forms, while l Summer and bowel com
plaints yield almost to tho T Jr first dose
One or two doses cure? rH attacks caused by werms,
while for worms iu child ren, there is no sui er, saf
er or speedier remedy in the world, as it ne% er fails.
car a few bottles cures _.f? Dropsy, by exciting the

We take pleasure in recommending this medicine as a
preventative for Fever and Ague, CLili Fever, and all
Fevers of a Bilious Type. It operates wffh certainty,
and thousands are w illing to test ily to its wonderful
All who use it are giving ihcir unanimous testimony
in its favor.
Mix water in the mouth with the Invigorator,
and swallow both together.
TUB LIVER IVIGORATOR is a scientific Medical
discovery, and is daily working cures, almost too great
to believe. It cures as if by magic, even the first dost
giving relief, and seldom more than oee bottle is re
quired to cure any kind of Liver Complaint, from thf
worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia to a common Headache, ail
of which ate the result of a diseased Liver.

Mr. B. F. Williams : Instances are not rare where the
attending physician fails to cure well confirmed Scrofu.
a The following memorandum is interesting *
SUBJECT— A girl of 15 or 16 year* of age, tho attend
ag 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
bottles she was considered well. She waa cured of a
deep seated ulcer and a constant 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 of all—but when added to a
long catalogue of cases of great obstinacy, cured by no
Panacea, nor Nostrum, nor Patent Medicine, no Secret,
but au invaluable preparation of Sarsaparilla, lodide cf
potassa, &c., well gotten up by the chemist, and made
familiar to the intelligent physician, it very justly de
serves a trial by all laboring under any of the numerous
chronic maladies that afflict us.

Mr. J. F. McAvoy: With regard to your inquiry
ab-utthe “ Williams’ Sarsaparilla and lodide of I’otaa
s& ” which I purchased of you, I have no hesitation in
affirming that it acted magically. My sister was afiiiet
ed with a cutaneous eruptiou, which enveloped the head
and a large surface of tbe body, and which resisted all
medical treatment. I thick that one bottle effected a
permanent cure, though 1 continued the treatment until
two bottles had been used. It has been eighteen months
since, and as yet there has been no re appearance of the
disease. 1 have frequently expressed and reiterated the
opinion that it is the best . reparation of Sarsaparilla in
use, and the addition of lodide of Potassa enhances its
value tcn-iold. Very respectfully, yonrs, &e.,

HAYWOOD’S
HUM OF SAVANNAH!
FOR
Cleansing, Nourishing & Beautifying
THEIHAIR.
IN presenting the BALM OF SAVANNAH to the
public, the proprietor does so without any of the
htsiiation attending the introduction of a t.ew and un
tried article, for it has now been fifteen years before the
public, and each year has added to its popularity The
demand for it having increased so far beyond my pre
vious facilities for its manufacture, the proprietor has re
cently completed arrangements for producing it cn a
more extensive scale, and at the same time adding to its
former excellence, by the result of a long practical ex
perience in its use.
The following vouchers are gentlemen well known,
and can be attested:
Savannah, August 3,3858.
J. M. Haywood, Agent—Dear Sir: I cheerfully
comply with my promise, to give you my opinion ot the
merits of year Btlcn of Savannah. Alter using it for
some two years, I prepared to speak from experience,
aDd do not hesitate to pronounce it the best prepara
tion for the hair that I have ever n.ied. For several
years I had suffered from dandruff, which, at times, es
pecially during bad health, threaten® i to destroy my
hair I tried many remedies, which had be n recom
mended toiae, without benefit, until I made a trial of
your Bairn, which not only removed the oacdrnff, but
kept my Lead free from it. at the same time stimulating
the growth of the hair and imparting to it a healthy ap
pearance. X have recommended it to my friends simi
lar.'y afflicted, who, in every instance, experienced simi
lar benefits from its use. I esteem it a pleasant and
convenient article for dress Tig the hair, possessing most
of the virtues claimed fo'-the popular cosmetics of the
day, w:th none of their deleterious qualities. I feei con
fident that it only needs to be known to the public to
become universally popular.
Very respectfully yours,
W. T Thompson,
Editor of Savannah Morning News.
To ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN :
The object of this is to state that I have, for some
months, used Mr. Haywood’s Hair Tonic—known as
the Balm of Savannah—and have found it incomparably
superior to any oth-r article of the kind. Its u-e twice
a week is quite sufficient, not only to disengage the
dandruff, dLc , from the hair, but to prevent it’ formation
in any applicable quantity. It maintains the hair too,
in that moist and pleasant condition, which so many
other specifics pretend to do, but almost always fail—in
so iar as my experience goes. J. L. Locke,
Late Editor of the Savannah Repub.ican.
May 26, 1858.
Mr. J. M Haywood, Agent : It gives me pleasure to
certify to the uaequaile-d qualities of your Bairn of Sa
vannah It is the beat tonic for the hair, as well as the
moat effectual exterminator of dandruff 1 have ever tried.
My hair baa been inclined t > fail out sirce my attack of
Yellow Fever in 1854, and among all the preventives I
have tried, the Balm of Savannah has been the most
successful. This much I say most cheerfully.
Yours, Ac., p. w. Alexander,
Late Editor of the savannah Republican.

GRASS SEED.
Y ITK beg to call tbe attention of Agriculturists to
f l this highly valuable product. Experiments in
various parts of this country, have proved its adapts
lion 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.
