Now that rttmor is so busy with the alleged
mot ementf southward of United States troops and
naval vessels, it raay not be out of place to give a
statement of the forces likely to oe ordered for
hostile service in South Carolina, should unfortu
nate circumstances render extreme measures ne
ce**ary. If soldiers be required. Governor's Isl
and, S. V., and Carlisle, Pa., and the Navy Varda,
will be the first places from which reinforcements
may be taken. The fcoO troops stationed at Fort
Monroe, Fayetteville, N. C., Augusta, Key West,
Hanancos and Baton Rouge, would not be re
moved. Tne available men, then, for military
duty are nearly as follows :

We have included the Crusader aod Wyandotte,

her sister gun bouts, could be ordered, in an hour
by telegraph, to repair to any given place. Naval
vessels drawing over fourteen feet of water, to
the number of a dozen, perhaps, are susceptible
of speedy equipment; but, as already stated, we
mention only those actually read}’. —New York
Times.
To the above we add the following from the
Portsmouth Transcript:
Orders were to-day received by the commander
of toe United .States steamer Brooklyn to lay in
coal for a four months cruise. No idea can be
formed of her destination, so that any rumors of
her being ordered to Charleston that may beset
afloat will be without foundation, as her orders
when they do come will, in all probability, be
sealed, with orders to be opened when at sea. It
is useless to say that all the late rumors respect
ing this vessel are miserable canards, but we
vouch for the above report that she has received
orders to prepare for a cruise of four months. Os
her future movements we are unable to gain even
an inkling, but will keep on the qui vive.
The United States steamer Brooklyn broke her
moorings this morning, during u heavy squall
from the northward, and anchored in the stream.
We are informed from a most reliable source that
iwo officers of this vessel have written to their
representatives at Washington, requesting them
to inquire if the Brooklyn will go to sea under
scaled orders, in which case they say they will re
ign and go to tin ir homes. A great deal of anx
iety is manifested in regard to tlje destination of
this ve-sel, caused by the distracted state of the
country, ami orders to Charleston would be a fire
brand in the magazine.
There appears to be some doubts whispered
around town about the Brooklyn breaking away
from her moorings. It is suspected she was cast*
m-r loose in order to go to sea, when |the sudden
squall came up and took her unawares, thereby
disabling tier from accomplishing her object under
cover of duraticss.
Fort Pulaski. Tiie Savannah News of Mon
day gives the following interesting particulars
with i eg.nd to Foi l Pulaski :
As against assault from the water, it is defend
ed by an ample number of -.2-pouuders, much
better mounted, and in a much higher state of
. Ifiri. my, than any one had supposed. Not sim
ply ihe <m.v mates, but the quarters at present
occupied by the officers and privates, are bomb
proof--tin- arched ceilings, thirteen feet in thick
ness, and covered with a stiff bank sod.
The open area wtthin the fort is not paved ; the
earth covered with a yielding sod, formed by
1 ■' !l “""1 Upon what was originally a
.laud-bunk. If a bed had been artisticaliy pre
pitM-d for the purpose of receiving, capturing and
utterly demoralizing u shell, it could not have
been better devised. A shell falling upon it must
be buried in the sar.d beneath from two to eight
I *•••’, and by the ,-.od above will be stripped ol the
power even of throwing sand into the eyes, if in
deed the fuse should not be extinguished and tho
shell should explode.
Those who were shelled upon from San Juan
d’Ullou during the investment of Vera Cruz, will
remember that the second morning after the lund
i ij; the attention of the enemy was specially di
rected to a sand hill occupied by Gen. Quitman’s
brigade, which wus thus exposed to tlieir e}'es
doubtless to draw their fire. The shells, to dodge
which in their descent became alter a while rather
a pleasurable excitement, buried themselves in
the sand; their fuses were generally extinguished,
and the e equalities resulting from their explosion,
when they did explode, were but few. Avery
little work will place the interior of Fort Pulaski
in such condition as to remove the men within it
bevond the reach of even such casualties.
The Governor, whose entire action in this mat
ter is, we repeat, beyond all praise, has placed at
the disposal of Col. Lawton, iu addition to the
usual ai iaor of each soldier, one breech-loading
carbine, throwing in the hands of* an expert marks
man, sixteen rifle balls a minute, a Colt’s re
vol \m\ and one sabre.
I'm- ditch around the fort is being rapidly clean
ed out under the orders of Col. Lawton—rice field
negroes have been placed at this work.
Adjourned Meeting or tiik Citizens or Phila
delphia on rut Crisis. —An adjourned meeting of
the citizens of Philadelphia, to consider the pres
ent state of the Union, was held on Saturday :
The committee to whoin the coercion ami non
coercion resolution s were referred made no re
port, and there being un evident determination on
the part of many present who‘did not participate
at the last meeting to force the passage of the
non-coercive resolutions ol Judge Lewis, which
was resisted by prominent Republicans, an excit
ing scene of disorder occurred, duriug which Dis
trict Attorney Mann showed a willingness to fight
on the spot. *
’ On the motion of a Republican, the meeting ad
journed, but another was immediately called at
the same place, and Judge Lewis placed iu the
chair.

The Mjsteiy of Exchange Explained
The following article from the Chicago Times is :
| not without interest to many in this region of coun ,
A subscriber writes to ns to say that not being
{ much of a business man, he does not understand
the mvstcrv of currencv and exchange and is at
a loss to know whv it is that because exchange
j on New York is “worth 10 per cent, premium,
! business should be embarrassed aud every one
complain of hard times. The simplest maimer of I
! explaining this is, perhaps, the following.
All eF the United State* there > one kind of
monev .bat has the same mtrnstc ealne erery- |
i where. That is (told. A dollar in gold is a dol
i lar evervwhere-—it is a dollar in New 1 ork, a dol- j
lar in Niw Orleans, a dollar in Chicago. If we had ,
! no money but gold, the price of exchange would
simDlr w the coat of carrying the gold from one
i place “to another, and this would, perhaps never ;
!le more than one-fourth of one per cent, but we ,
have other money. In Illinois we have very little
ertild In its stead we have eleven or twelve mil- j
j lions’ of dollars in th* bills of our State banks, j
which are called “currency.” Now, owing to the i
• depreciation ot the stocks on which this currencv |
J i 9 secured, a dollar of our currency is only worth j
■ ninetv cents in New York city. The people of j
New York believe that if these stocks were sold j
[ they would only produce enough to pay ninety j
j cents on the dollar of the currency. Consequent- j
Jy, when Mr. Drygoods wants to pay the merchants .
! in New York, of whom he bought his stock of t
j goods, he goes to his safe and finds that he has ‘
got ten thousand dollars in currency, lie owes his |
New York creditor nine thousand dollars. So j
he counts out his nine thousand dollars, does it
up in a package, takes it to the express office,
and sends it to his New York creditor. In doe
course of time he receives the following letter:
9,0005 Broadway, New York.
Dear Sir: Your favor, inclosing $9,000 in Illinois
currency, is just received. This currency is
worth only 90 cents on the dollar, and consequent
ly falls just sl*oo short of paying your note. —
J'leasc send us the balance and oblige,
Yours truly,
TAOrag, Dobbin A Cos.
So Mr. Drygoods has to go to his safe again,
take out his remaining SI,OOO, and send it on to
New York, knowing that ♦hen it gets there it
will be worth only S9OO, and be just enough, with
the $9,000 sent before, to pay his debt of $9,000.
The SI,OOO was all the profits of the business
which Drygoods had been doing for the last three
months. They all have to go to make up the
amount he owes in New York. So Drygoods finds
he is short of a sum he had looked upon as his
own, and his business is just to that extent em
barrassed and retarded. He can’t pay his butcher,
his baker, his landlord, and his coal merchant,
with his usual promptitude, and perhaps a half a
dozen individuals who depended cn him are put
to inconvenience and loss. They in their turn can
not meet their obligations, and so the circle of dis
aster spreads.
Thus it is seen how the whole community is in
terested in the price of Eastern exchange When
the newspapers say that exchange on New York
is worth ten per cent, it is only another way of
saying that our money is worth only ninety cents
on the dollar, and that he who fancies he has one
hundred dollars of it, in reality has only ninety dol
lars. Thus we see the value, and in fact the im
perative necessity, of a specie basis for our cur
rency. If our bank bills were redeemable at any
moment in gold, exchange would be down to a
mere nominal sum, and we would be prosperous.
All the mystery which banks and brokers throw
around the inatteris needless. It is so simple
that a child can understand it. There is no more
mystery about the value of gold than there is
about the value of potatoes. Gold here is w orth
ten per ceut. more than our currency. In New
York it is worth just as much as New* York cur
rency is, because New York currency is redeem a
ble in gold at any moment.
The Legislature of Illinois meets soon. Can
they do nothing to place our money on a specie
basis—iu other words, to make it equtl gold?
The Humors ok War. —One of the volunteers
who went out from Mobile to take the Arsenal at
Mount Vernon, near that city, thus sketches the
doings of the troops on the memorable occasion.
His letter is written to the Mobile Tribune , and is
dated Jan. sth :
Os course, like Claude Melnotte, “where Alaba
ma most needs a soldier,” I am there; and after
my wife pipe clayed my belts I went with the
companies to take the Arsenal at Mount Vernon.
The Cadets mustered *'.2, Guards Lafayette 40,
Light Infantry, 52, and German FusillieTS 47 —in
all 201 men.
We were, of course, hospitably entertained by
Capt. Finnegan on his boat, the Selma, as it is
hardly necessary to state, for all our citizens know
him. Neither .the Captain nor his boat charged,
but the 201 men (I was modest and kept in the
rear) charged the embankment and went up the
bank in glorious style. After a inarch of say ten
miles we reached the outworks of the arsenal. A
scene of intense, eloquent silence ensued. We
were even ordered to pm our pipes out. A peil
rnell rush was made to the walls—discipline was
at an end, and the devil take the hindmost (which
I believe was tne) was the order of the day.
All honor to the Gardes Lafayette. They ueed
ed uo ladders. They were over the wails like
monkeys, and their gallant Captain Belloc had
them ptutioued at every door and window of the
fort and the drummer beating his # rat-u-plan in
the twinkling of a bed-post.
To say that each and every were eager for
tight; to say that they had no cue to light with
(except themselves) ; to say that they were more
than half starved ; to say that their uniforms were
slightly sprinkled with mud, were but a slight
enumeration of the casualties in this my first view
of the “pride, pomp and circumstance of glori
ous war.” Yours, James Jones.
Tiie Territorial Question. — The New York
Journal of Commerce urges tliut while amend
ments to the Constitution may be needed for the
final settlement of all sectional differences, that
this process, however, is too slow for present pur
poses, and if the disunion movement is,to stop
short of a total dismemberment of the Confedera
cy, the first check must be applied by other meth
ods than the slow process of changing the organic
law. Nothing can now be done to stop the mad
career of South Carolina ; but in Georgia, Alabama
Mississippi and other States, whose Conventions
have not yet assembled, the action will be influ
enced in a large degree by the circumstances
which may transpire previous to their meeting.
If the conservative sentiment, not only in the
! Border States of Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky,
and Missouri, but also Georgia, Alabama, and the
other Cotton States, can be strengthened by as
surance that the raid against slavery is to cease,
and that the free States will consent to observe
their Constitutional obligations in letter aud spir
it, we sha 1 hope for the huppiest results, and a
safe deliverance from present alarming dangers.
In view of all the circumstances bearing upon
the question, the Journal sees no more feasible or
practicable measures than the proposition to set
tle the whole difficulty respecting slavery in the
Territories by the immediate admission into the
Union, as States, of the whole remaining area not
now covered by organised States. I)o tHs, .ma
king the dividing line 36 deg !30 min., admitting
the State or States North of that parallel without
slavery—make suitable provision for dividing
such States as the population becomes sufficiently
dense to erect new ones, and the whole question
will be disposed of, so far as our present possessions
are concerned. Those who arc anticipating future
acquisitions of Territory, North or South, must
trust either to a Constitutional amendment to
meet the case, or to some mode of disposing of
the slavery question therein, when the occasion
shall arise. The settlement now and forever of
the question of slavery in the present territory of
the United States, a question which has been the
bone of contention—real or pretended—in past
struggles, would be a great step in the adjust
ment of oiyr present troubles. Then, if amend
ments are needed, let them follow'—either Mr.
Crittenden’s, modified to meet the case, or such
others as wisdom may dictate. But let something
he done, and let some member of Congress under
take to see that it is done quickly. It is idle to
stand dumb with astonishment, and paralyzed
with incapacity, while the causes which must “pro
duce dissolution and disintegration, are fast ripen
ing into results.
Horrible Massacre of a Crew of a South-
Sea Whaler. —A fearful outrage has occurred in
the port of Buckatoo, in the island of Isabella, in
the Southern Pacific, by the massacre of the most
of the crew’ belonging to the whaling ship Henri
etta, Capt. Brown, whose log-book furnishes the
following details :-7th of June last vessel at anchor
off Buckatoo. At daylight pumped ship, washed
the decks, and sent the small boat away for two
casks of fresh water. At 8A M the boat returned.
During the morning and forenoon several canoes
came up and pulled round the ship, for what ob
ject the master at first could not define. In the
forenoon the carpenter and five of the crew left
the ship in a small boat to cut fire wood, and also
two spars, one for the mainmast, and the other
for a spare main gatt’. With the exception of one
man, he never saw them again afterward. The
man who swam to the ship from the shore inform
ed him (the master) that they had been attacked
and murdered by the natives of the island.
Shortly afterward the ship was suddenly boarded
by a number of natives, who attempted to take
forcible possession. The number ot hands on
board, besides himself, were five—the cook aud
four seamen. He had his wife aud two childreu
on board. The natives first endeavored to secure
him and throw’ hun overboard; but he managed to
break away from them, aud rushed to his cabin
j for firearms. They next attacked the wife, who
also succeeded iu escaping their vengeance, and
sought refuge with her husband in the cabin,
where they kept up a constant tiring on the nutives
who, failing in their object of capturing the ship,
jumped into their canoes and made, oft', carrying
with them one of the children, a fine little boy
about five years old. He (the master), with the
surviving portion of the crew, afterward pursued
some of the canoes, in the hope of recovering his
child, but failed to do so. Next morning got un
der way, and proceeded to Russell’s Island, where
the chief of the natives, on hearing of the occur
rence, offered to intercede, and if possible obtain
possession of the child, but with no better result.
A Fire Dog in St Louis.— The St Louis Re
publican gives the following account of a dog be
longing to the Hook and Ladder Company of that
city :
“The name of the dog is Joues.’ lie was pres
| ented to tlje company a little more than a year
j ago. He was then a puppy of a few months old.
j In a short time, however, he began to manifest a
j surprising fondness for the Hook and Ladder Boys,
and guarded with the greatest care the company’s
quarters, on Seventh street, between Pine and
Olive, from all intruders, Latterly he has turned
fireman in earnes.t At the Up of the bell he will
I instantly manifest the greatest interest in the
preparations, aud the moment the carriage starts
j out, Jones keeps alongside the horses, making
I known his delight by an occasional bark, frequent
I jumps, and a general exercise of bis waggish tail.
: But the most exhibition which he has j
yet given of that peculiar gift denominated in
j stinct, was at fire a short time since, where he
i seized a bone and bore it safely from a house the {
roof of which was at the time wrapped in flames,
j Altogether he is a very knowing dog.”
j A Youthful Hero.— A little son of Dr. Mettler, !
|of Hartford, Conn, broke through a spot of thin j
j ice, on Little River, on Monday last, and was car
| ried by the current under theice below. Charlie I
| Champion, a boy 13 years of age, witnessed the
accident, and ran to the rescue. Seeing the bodv |
| floating along under the thin, transparent ice, he
! quickly ran a short distance below, seated him- j
self where a cake of old ice made it strong, kicked
with his heels a hole through the ice just ahead
of the floating dot, and stuck his legs through, j
The drowning boy clutched his foot firmly, when
Charlie drew him to the opening, seized him with
his hands, and pulled him out alive ! He was pro
perly cared for.
Popularity or “Dixie. ’ —The popularity of I
“Dixie” was amusingly illustrated in Hartford, ;
Conn., a few days ago,*at a supper given to the
children of the‘Morgan Street Mission. Every-,
thing, says the Times, passed off as decorously as 1
a Sunday school supper should, until, whilst they
were devouring the “goodies,” the band struck np j
“Dixie.” In an instant the boys were singing at ;
the top of their voices:
“I wish I was in Dixie—
Hooray ! Hooray!
In Dixie’s land I’u take my stand
And lib and die in Dixie,
Away, away, aw ay down Sous in Dixie.”
The teachers tried to look grave, and said
s-s-h-h with a warning finger lined, but it was
! °° usc * e . T joined in the general amusement.
It was not exactly aJSunday School song, but it
seemed to do the boys a “heap o’ good.”

Charleston Item*.
We take the following items from the Courier
of Thursday, 10th :
Among the volunteers who are now in Charles
ton, offering service, are Prof. V. H. Manget, of
the Georgia Military School, at Marietta, long
and /avorably known as a Professor of Modern
Languages in this State, and in the Barhamville
Female Collegiate Institute, near Columbia, and
John Mitchell, Jr., of Alabama, a son of John
Mitchell, and the only member of the family now
in this country. Mr. Mitchell is an accomplished
Engineer for his years, and has abandoned a lu
crative engagement in Alabama.
Mrs. Mary S. C. Witherspoon of Society Hill,
has sent for the use of the Darlington Guards, a
number of mattresses. It is this thoughtful care
of our'soldiers, by the daughters of Carolina,
that nerves their lieurts and makes them willing to
endure every peril and privation.
Resignation of Another Officer, —It is with
pleasure we learn that the resignation of ano
ther gallant officer of the United States Navy,
Lieut. Thos. A. Huger, who is at present on.
board of a United States ship in the Bay of Na
ples, has been delivered to the Secretary of the
Navy at Washington. The letter of resignation
was written some months ago, and left with a
relative, to be delivered at the proper time.

Arrest for Treason.—J. N. Merrimau, Collec
tor of the port of Georgetown, S. C., was on Mon
day last arrested by the people of Georgetown on
a charge of treason against the State. A letter
w’as found written b} him and addressed to Mr.
Buchanan, stating that he (Merriman) had just
cleared vessels in the name of the United States,
and that he would continue to do so. The letter
calls upon the President to send a boat and men
to collect the Federal revenue, and informs him
of the progress made in the construction of the
works near Georgetown, and promises to keep
him posted from time to time in relation to the
same. The letter is signed by bis initials, J. N. M.
When arrested, he acknowledged having w-ritteu
it. Lopse, his deputy, was also arrested. He
said he had been in the habit of writing out Mer
riman’s letters, but he had not done so in this
case, as he considered it treason. Both have been
committed for trial.
Message of the Governor of Illinois.—Gov.
Wood’s Message recommends a complete recon
struction of the present military plan, by dividing
the State into three divisions of batallion, regi
mental and brigade formation ; that the most lib
eral legislative encouragement be given to the
formation of volunteer companies throughout the
State. He recommends that the banks of the
State be required to secure their circulation ex
clusively by the United States and Illinois stocks.
In regard to the difficulties at preseut existing
South, he says if grievances to any portion of our j
Confederation have arisen within the Union, let ;
them be redressed within the Union. If uncon
stitutional laws touching upon the guaranteed
rights of any of our sister States have found place
upon our statute books, let them be removed. If
prejudice and alienation toward any of our fellow
countrymen has fastened upon any minds, let it
be dismissed and forgotten. Let us be just to our
selves and each other, allowing neither threats to
drive us from what we deem to be our duty, nor
pride of opinion to prevent us from correcting
wherein we may have erred. He recommends
that if Illinois has passed any laws tending to ob
struct the operation of Federal authority, or con
flicting with the constitutional rights of others,
that they at once be repealed.
Speaking, not merely for himself, but reflecting
what he assumed to be the voice of the whole peo
ple of Illinois, irrespective of party, as it reaches
him from all ouarters, he adopts the sentiments of
President Jackson : “The Federal Union —it must
be preserved ;” to which sentiment he trusts the
Legislature will give emphatic expression at an
early day. The finances of the State are repre
sented to be in a very prosperous condition.
Massege of tub Governor of Ohio.—Gover-
Dennison’s message is a long document, and is
occupied mainly with State affairs. He recom
mends a more effective organization of the militia
and the preseut organized militia numbering only
about 1,200 men, while the unorganized force is
estimated at 285,000 nieu. No special prominence
is given to this subject. The Governor argues at
some length in defeuce of his course iu refusing
the requisitions of the Governors ot Kentucky and
Tennessee for persons accused of aiding in the
escape of fugitive slaves. He discusses the seces
sion question, denying the right of any State to
secede at pleasure, and affirming that Ohio re
mains loyal to the Union and the Constitution.
lie suggests the repeal of the obnoxious fea
tures of the Fugitive Slave Law', and the repeal of
any Personal Liberty bills subversive of the Fu
gitive law would thus be secured; at*the same
time the Southern States should repeal their laws
in contravention of the constitutional rights of
citizens of Free States, who cannot be satisfied
with less, and who will insist upon their constitu
tional right* in every State aud Territory in this
Confederacy. These they cheerfully accord to
citizens of Southern States. Determined to do
no wrong, they will not contentedly submit to
any wrong, and are unawed by tlieir threats.—
They demand the employment of all the constitu
tional powers of the Federal Government to main
tain and preserve the Union—rejects the whole
theory ot State secession as a palpable violation
of the Constitution, and cannot consent’ to the
exercise of any power unless under its sanction.
The integrity of this Union—its oneness aud indi
visibility—must be preserved.
Hon. Humphrey .Marshall for Union,
We are permitted, says the Marysville (Ky.)
Eagle, to publish the subjoined extract from a let
ter from Hon. H. Marshall, to a gentleman of this
county. They will attract attention alike on ac
couut of the distinguished reputation of the wri
ter, aud the sound sense of his sentiments. It
will be seen that Col. Marshall is for sustaining
the Union so long as our rights can be main
tained, aud is not yet willing to despair of obtain
ing those rights by peaceable and honorable
means. We say with Dim, let us negotiate for
years, before wc surrender our political rights in
the Union:
“Os all conceivable political combinations I pre
fer this Union aud the Constitution, as they were
bequeathed to us by the men who made them. I
would insist upon my equality of rights under
this Union and Constitution, ‘fo this end, I say
that we owe it to ourselves, as our justification be
fore the bar of History, to negotiate so long as ne
gotiation is possible to preserve those rights and
that equality ; but, if they can not bi preserved , if
they are to be wrested from us by the iron hand
of usurpation, we must leave behind us irrefragi
ble evidence that we were pushed to the wall be
fore we struck, and that ice struck only in self
defence. All this should plead our excuse, and all
History should declare that the noblest ruin
which will ever be contemplated by man was not
shorn of its pristiue glories through fault of ours.
“Negotiate! Yes; for years if need be. I
protest against running at random into revolu
tion. I tremble at the'awful responsibility which
1 will belong to those who abandon this* Union,
; while there is tbe slightest hope of protecting our
i rights and our honor in it. Time is as nothing to
: its preservation. lain willing to afford all rea
! sonable time to the people ol the free States to re
| consider, to counsel together, to determine finally,
and to act. I would prefer that Kentucky would
arm, if need be, until her sons preseut their whole
! bodv in a vast military arrav ; until her hills up
on tiie frontiers are crowned with an unbroken j
line of entrenchments ; until her homesteads are i
only magazines of war and her hearth stones are ■
fiery retorts tor the manufacture of deadly mis- !
siles, before I would either pull down the Stars j
and Stripes from her flag or pronounce her re- j
tirement Irorn the Union into which she was in
troduced as the first child ol the Revolution.
“ If we cannot have this Union and our rights 1
in it, after negotiation—if disunion must come, j
then let us pick up oar household gods, but let us j
not try to found anew Troy at Lati. Let us stand j
by Kentucky and keep the vestal fire of the old j
Independence—the true spirit of the old compact j
sacred within her walls as the guidon for anew j
alignment of patriotism. The urn which bore the ;
ashes of Virginia recalled the senses of her father j
—the torn banners of our Republic may yet be a i
sufficient sign to the American people ’to wake j
them from madness, and to restore them to order
and to virtue. Yours, affectionately,
Htmphrey Marshall. j

Seclusaval, Jan. 9, 1860.
Mr. Editor: —On my return from my planta
tion, this eveniug. where 1 have been engaged in
civic pursuits, I was handed by one of the fright
ened women of Georgia your paper of the Bth
inst., in which I read an article headed “Resist
ance or Submission,” over the signature of
Georgian. Though no name was mentioned, it is
very evident that the article was intended for Mr.
VV. H. T. Walker, late a Brevet-Lieutenant Colonel
in the U. S. Army. I take it for granted that the
writer is an aged gentleman, as he takes it upon
himself to reprove the above named individual,
who is no chicken himself. lam not in the habit
of writing for newspapers, or of making public
speeches, hut I am in the habit of expressing my
sentiments plainly and fearlessly, whenever and
wherever I leel disposed, and recognise tho right
of no man to reprove me for so doing. The article
of Georgian touches on several points, which, as
they do not reter particularly to me, I shall not
mention.
In reference to the “recent scenos in public
meetings and at the polls,” I have only to say,
that I knew nothing of the meeting at the City
Hall until after I arrived in the city ; and went
there having heard that it was probable there
would be some disturbance. I believe even
the members of the party to which “ Georgian”
appears to belong, will do me the justice to ac
knowledge that, so far from being a disturber of
the peace, I was somewhat instrumental in
“ throwing oil upon the troubled waters.” “Os
the unsuppressed, most disgraceful, though not
immediately dangerous, disorders at the polls,”
having heard the night before the election, from
high authority, that there was every prospect of
a battle iu Charleston, I went there to aid her
with my “ up-lifted arm,” and would have gloried
in striking a olow for the land of Sumter aud Ma
rion, though a traitor’s doom had been my fate.
So, it appears, I was not at the polls; and,
who knows hut that my voice and “ up-lifted arm”
would have been raised to keep the peace.
“ Without noisy professions of love for ourcoun
try, or premature demonstrations of valor,” I am,
perhaps, as little disposed to indulge in them as
“Georgian.” I have shown by my career—having
served under the stars and stripes (now convert
ed into an Abolition black flag, the stars of which
cast their light on the North and their shadows
on the South*) since I was sixteen, and through
tw’o wars—that my love of country was no moutn
service, and that my valor amongst soldiers was
displayed, such as it was, 011 the battle-field, and
not before public meetings and in newspapers.
I flatter myself that true Georgians, who love
the State better than the Uniou with Abolitionists,
feel too grateful to me for both to attempt to bring
into ridicule either. I would still be proud to
serve that country, if I had not discovered that
my own beloved South was about to be put to
tire and sword by the Abolition Goths and Vandals
of the North, that fanatic horde, who are now
preparing to pounce upon us like fultures upon
their prey. 1 threw away with contempt that
sword which was once my pride aud have now
that Georgia sword of “truest mettle and highest
finish” with which she honorei me and which, as
God is my judge, I will raise “with uplifted arm”
against the rule of a renegade Southern Abolition
ist (Lincolu,) let Georgia go as she may in her
Convention ;"with my consent, Loncoln’s flag shall
never wave over the remains of my ancestors, and
1 flatter myself, there is too much of the old revo
lutionary treason in the land, such as those rebels,
George Washington and Patrick Henry had, to sub
mit to Black Republican rule. “If this be treason
make the most of it.” I war against fanaticism
and’not against Georgia. I war for freedom, against
tyranny. I war for the South to govern the
South “aud when I die, to Wave my children, free
men and not the slave# of an arrogant and pre
sumptuous North.
“If the weak aud timid men, and helpless wo
men and children” are frightened at these senti
ments, I can only express pity, (I will not say
contempt) for the men ; and as for the women
(an? one of whom I would be proud under any
and all circumstances to defend with mv life) they
are more easily alarmed,than the South Carolina
: ladies whom I had the hbnor of meeting last week
decked with cockades, under the very thunder
of Fort Sumter. The children should be sent to
a more congenial clime (say Maine) if they are
alarmed when a Georgian proclaims before his
fellow-citizens in his native city, that he will up
-1 lift his arm against Lincoln’s rule let Georgia go
as she may.
In conclusion, allow me to add that I have been
as temperate a? I could be under the “reproof’
attempted. “Premature valor,” “noi*v profes
sions of love of country,” “treason,” Ac., are ra
ther conspicuous in the article to be altogether
agreeable to my taste in these days of “multitu
dinous extravagance,” and perhaps I understand
their significance better than other matters “with
which he (I) is not by his (my) profession or po
sition required to be especially familiar.”

Tar for Preserving Timber.— Creosote or oil
of tar is acknowledged by engineers and builders
to be one of the most valuable articles that can be
employed for preserving the timber, piles and
supports of bridges and piers, and for railway
sleepers. The timber is necessarily saturated, ac- |
cording to the amount of wear and tear it is like- 1
It to suffer—generally from two to three inchos J
deep being sufficient. As far as the teredo is con- j
corned, they would net attempt to bore, if there j
were only a thin outside coating put on; but the
saturation of two or three inches deep is necesea- |
ry in case of any place being rubbed off.

Special Despatch to the Charleston Courier.
Important from Washington.
Washington, Jan. 9—8:30 P. M. —The Senate,
in Executive Session this afternoon, referred the
nomination of Mclntyrs to the Committee on
Commerce, where Messrs. Clay of Alabama,
Toombs of Georgia and Clingman of North Caro
lina are certain against it; Messrs. Bigler of
Pennsylvania, and Chandler of Michigan, for it,
and ilr. Saulsbury doubtful. Mr. Hamlin, of
Maine, Vice-President elect, has resigmd from
the Senate; so, without doubt, the Committee
will report unfavorably, if at all. It is probable,
as Mr. Clav is Chairman, that they may never re
port, and Mclntyre cannot discharge his official
duties while the Senate is in session and fails to
act in the matter of his confirmation.
Mr. Postmaster Huger’s reply to Holt’s circu

a copy of the Ordinance of Secession, concerning
the postal affairs.
Major Anderson’s official correspondence with

Law, providing trial by Jury.
The War Department has appointed anew In
spector of Grainance, with instructions to make
an immediate examination into the condition of
the arms and munitions of war of the Govern
ment of the United States.
Senator Clay, of Alabama, appeared in his seat
on the floor of th# Senate to-day, for the first
time this sessiofl.
A meeting of all the Senators from the Gulf
States was held to-day—Senator Fitzpatrick, of
Alabama, being*alone absent—at which a unani
mous declaration was made for immediate seces
sion.
The report that the Cabinet, to-day, had under
consideration the expediency of arresting Mr.
Toomps, of Georgia, because of his dispatches to
that State advising the seizure of the Federal
forts, is a hoax. The Administration, however,
is much incensed at his course.
Special Despatch to the. Charleston Mercury.
Washington, Jan. 7 —l P. M.—lt is rumored
here that the Cabinet, at its session to-dny, came
within one vote of arresting Senator Toombs on
the charge of treason, in having sent a despatch
to Georgia, advising her to secure the forts.
In the House of Representatives, Mr. Etheridge,
of Tennessee, has just moved the adoption of a
joint resolution providing for au amendment of
the Constitution, as follows :
First. That Congress shall have no power to in
terfere with slavery in the States of the Union.
Second. That it sbail have no power to abolish
slavery in the Unite,d States forts, dockyards, etc.
Third. That slavery shall be forever free from
Congressional interference in the District of Co
lumbia.
Fourth. That Congress shall not interfere iu
the nioving of slaves from State to State.
Fifth. That the slave-trade shall he abolished.
Sixth. That slavery shall be prohibited in ter
ritory north of the 36.30 line, and that there shall
be no interference with it south of that line either
by Congress or by any Territorial Legislature.
Seventh. That no additional territory is to be
acquired unless by a two-thirds vote of both
Houses, or by treaty.
Eighth. That article 4, section 2, of the Fede
ral Constitution shall be amended.
The vote is now being taken, amid great excite
ment, for a suspension of the rules to consider the
resolution immediately.
Washington, January 7—7.30 p. m.—The speech
of Senator Toombs to-day was very violent in
manner, but mderate in its demands.
“Give us,” said he, “equality, security. flhU
tranquility, and you restore peace. Deny them
to us and take the consequences. These are the
cost of our allegiance. Refuse them and you will
fail to have our obedience.”
The most intense excitement was produced in
the House, by the introduction and passage of re
solutions approving Major Anderson’s course,
and sustaining the President in the execution of
the laws by all the constitutional means in his
power. Many voted in the affirmative, under
Douglas’ views of enforcement.
The House refused to suspend the rules to al
low Etheridge to introduce his propositions given
above. This is regarded here as another evidence
of the hopelessness of a compromise.
There is no doubt that the Cabinet did to-day
seriously consider the propriety of arresting
Toombs for sending the despatch recommending
the seizure of the Georgia forts. Tne proposition
also included Wigfall, of Texas, for despatches
alleged to have been sent to Charleston.
Tne House Committee of thirty-three agreed to
one proposition to day—that the fugitive slave
law is to be amended so that a negro is to be re
turned, in the care of the Marshal, to the Marshal
of the District whence he escaped, and that he is
there to have a trial by jury, and the Personal
Liberty bills of the Northern States are to be re
pealed. No other point has been settled.
Much dissatisfaction is expressed in all circles
here at the bogus despatches seiM South from this
city by by the Associated Press.
Otero, the delegate from New Mexico, is pre
paring an address to his constituents, recom
mending the rejection of the proposed admission
of the Territory as a State, urgea by the Repub
licans. ‘
[Special Dispatches to the Charleston Courier.']
W ashington, January B.—A salute ol three hun
dred guns was fired here to-day in honor of Major
Anderson and of the victory of New Orleans, and
for the Union.
Many prominent Southern gentlemen here are
anxiously urging upon Governor Letcher, of Vir
ginia, and Governor Ilicks, of Maryland, the ne
cessity of protesting against the occupancy of
Fort Washington, aud ot demanding an immedi
ate withdrawal of troops frbm that post. As yet
there is only one company of Marines in the fort,
which is situated on the Potomac River, about
fourteen miles from Washington. The fort has
had no garrison for some years, and the object in
supplying it with one now, is to avoid the possi
bility of Its being occupied by lawless persons as
a rallying point for mischief.
The troops ordered from Fort Leavenworth to
Fort McHenry are not to be sent South, as wrong
ly supposed by many gentlemen from that section.
Washington, Jan. B — B o’clock, P. M.—All tbe
Southern Senators in Congress have declared
themselves in favor of the immediate secession of
their several States. Senator Brown, of Missis
sippi, and Ex-Secretary Thompson, have tele
graphed home to-day, urging the immediate se
cession of Mississippi, and-stating that there is
now uo earthly hope of compromises or conces
sions of any kind. This is the prevailing opinion
herein allcirclcs.
Over two millions of dollars has been offered
for Russell, the defaulter, by parties residing out
of the District of Columbia, but the Admimstra- j
tion still refuses to authorise its acceptance at j
thic time.
Nearly all the Senators and members of the
blouse of Representatives are in daily receipt of
hundreds of petitions and memorials numerously
signed, from all parts of the country, urging upon
Congress to adopt Senator Crittenden’s proposi
! tion. Many of them will be presented to the
House to-morrow.
The Government officials holding offiec in the
departments, from the State of Mississippi, have
resigned their positions to-day in view of the ex
pected secession of their State.
The President has stated that the recent import
ant transactions within the Government have
caused him to so change the tone of his Message
to Congress, that he has been compelled to delay
its transmission till to-morrow.
The Force Bill to provide for the collection of
the revenues of seceding States, will come up in
the House of Representatives to-morrow, when
it will create a lively discussion, which will result
no doubt In the non-voting of most of the South
ern members.
It is currently rumored that Capt. Barksdale
has refused to give the apology demanded of him
by Garnet B. Adrain, of Jiew Jersey. The diffi
culty between these two gentlemen arose out of
misunderstandings in tha heat of debate in Con
gress to-day. It is supposed that a challenge will
follow to-morrow, and tnat it will be settled on the
field. The frienes of Mr. Adrain allege that he
fears a personal assault, and goes protected to
meet any emergency of thia kind. The Republi
cans in Congress have recived private dispatches
to night from Lincoln stating that he has not ap
pointed Simon Cameron, of Pennaylvauioa, to his
Cabinet; also, be (Lincoln) has received several
letters from Virginia revealing a well planned plot
to prevent hia inauguration on .the 4th of March.
Washixgtox, January 5—10.20 P. M.—Those
who enjoy intimate relations with the Administra
tion assert to-night that the Star of the West has
j not been seut to Charleston, and there are good
I reasons for believing that this statement is cor- 1
rect.
| Three companies of troops have been ordered
here immediately from Fortress Monroe, Va.
| The Department has issued sealed orders to the
; Commanders of all revenue cutters stationed at
Southern ports.
Commodore Shubrick, who has just arrived from
Charleston, reports at the Navy Department a
gloomy state of affairs existing there.
A Serzeant who has arrived here from Charles
ton, and who was connected with Major Anderson’s
garrison, states that he was not allowed to return
to Fort SunrteT.
i “Astthikg i Reason. ” —When the United
States army started for Utah there was a scarci
tv of transportation, or, in other words, there
I were too few baggage wagons. Now, every sold
i ter knows how like the apple of one’s eye are
! these same baggage wagons, drawn as they are
j bv six mules, en the long marches across the
! plains. A Colonel of Dragoons, who had com- j
maud of one of the columns, restricted the offi
cers very much in their allowance of baggage,
and was most bitter if any one tried to exceed the
just amount. One morning the Colonel met one
of his Captains, (a dragoon, of course,) when he
burst out as follows!
“Captain, do you know what these artillery offi
cers want to talce across the plains ?”
“No, Colonel, 1 do not,” said the Captain, with
an inquiring look.
“Well,” said he, “if yon will beliere me there
is one of them who wants to take across a box of
books.”
“Books!” exclaimed the Captain ; “what next I
wonder! Now Colonel, I have but little to take
across mvself—nothing, in fact, but a barrel of
whiskey. 1 ’
“Ot course, Captain, of course ; anything in rea
son, anything in reason. But the idea of carrying
a parcel of books across that stretch is a little more
than I can stand.”
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Amalgamation or Languages. —There is a
growing tendency in this age to appropriate the
most expressive words of other languages, and
after a while to incorporate them into eur own ;
thus the word Cephalic, which is from the Greek,
signifying 44 for tne head,” is now becoming popu
larized in connection with Mr. Spalding’s great
Headache remedy, but it will soon be used ‘in a !
more general way, and the word Cephalic will be
come as common as Electrotype and many others
whose distinction as foreign'words has been worn
away by common usage until they seem 44 native
and to the manor born.”
’ardly Realized.
Ili ‘ad ’n ’orrible ’tadachethishnfternoon, hand
hi stepped into the hapothecaries hand says hi to
the man. “Can you hease me of an ’eadache ?”
“ Does it hache ’ard ?” says ’e. “ Hexceedingly,”
says hi, hand upon that ’e gave me a Cephalic Pill,
hand’pon me'onor it cured me so quick that hi
’ardly realized hi ’ad ’ad an ’eadache.
Headache is the favorite sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever from
the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this
light it may be looked on as a safeguard intended
to give notice of disease which might otherwise
escape attention, till too late to be remedied ; and
its indications should never be neglected. Head
aches may be classified under two names, viz :
Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Head
ache is exceedingly common ancl is the precursor
of a great variety of diseases, among which arc
Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis
eases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic of
disease of the stomach constituting sick headache ,
of hepatic disease constituting bilious headache , of
worms, constipation and other disorders of the
bowels, as well as renal and uterine affections.
Diseases of the heart are very frequently attended
with Headaches; Amernia and plethora are also
affections which frequently occasion Headache.
Idjopathic Headache is also very common, being
also usually distinguished by the name of nervous
headache, sometimes coining on suddenly in a state
of apparently sound health and prostrating at
once the mental and physical energies, and in
other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by
depression of spirits and ascerbitv of temper. In
most instances the pain is in the front of the head,
over one or both eyes, and sometimes provoking
vomiting ; under this class may also be named
Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of Headache
the Cephalic Pills have been found a sure and safe
remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a few
minutes, and by its subtle power errdicating the
disease of which Headache is the tint ring index.
Bridget. —Missus wants you to send her a box
of Cephalic Glue—no, a bottle of Prepared Pills ;
but I’m thinking that’s not just it naither; but
perhaps ye’ll be afther knowing what it is. Ye
see she’s nigh dead and gone wiih the Headache,
and wants some more of that same as relaived her
before.
Druggist. —You must mean Spalding’s Cephalic
Pills.
Bridget. —Och ! sure now and you’ve sed it ;
here’s the quarther and give me the Pills and don’t
be all day about it aither.
Constipation or Costiveness.
No one of the 44 many ilia that flesh is heir to”
is so prevalent, so little understood, and so much
neglected as Costiveness. Often originating in
carelessness or sedentary habits, it is regarded as
a slight disorder of too little consequence to ex
cite anxiety, in reality it is the precursor
and companion of many of the most fatal and dan
gerous diseases, and unless early eradicated it
Will briug the sufferer to an untimely grave.
Among the lighter evils of which Costiveness is
the usual attendant, are Headache, Colic, Rheuma
tism, Foul Breath, Piles, and others ot like na
ture, while a long train of frightful diseases such
qs Malignant Fevers, Abscesses, Dysentery, Diarr
hea. Dyspepsia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis,
Hysteria, Hypochondriasis, Melancholy and In
sanity, first indicate their presence in the system
by this alarming symptom. Not unfrequently the
diseases named originate in hut take
an independent existence unless the cause is
eradicated in an early stage. From all these con
siderations it follows t;iat the disorder should re
ceive immediate alteration whenever it occurs,
und no person should neglect to get a box of Ce
phalic rills on the first appearance of the com
plaint, as their timely use will expel the insidious
approaches of disease and destroy this dangerous
foe to human life.
A Real Blessing.
Physician. —Well, Mrs. Jones, how is that
Headache ?
Mrs. Jones. —Gone! Doctor; all gone. The pill
you sent cured me in just twenty minutes, and I
wish, you would send more, so that I can have
them handy.
Physician. —You can get them at any Druggists.
Call lor Cephalic Pills, 1 find they never fail, and
I recommend them in all cases of Headache.
Mrs. Jones. —I shall send for a box directly, and
shall tell all my suffering friends, for they are a
real blessing.
Twenty Millions of Dollars Saved.—Mr.
Spalding has sold two millions of bottles of his
celebrated Prepared Glue and it is estimated that
each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth of
broken furniture, thus making an aggregate of
twenty millions of dollars re-claimed from total
loss bv this invaluable invention. Having made
his Glue a household word, he now proposes to do
the world still greater service by curing all the
aching heads w ith his Cephalic l ! ills, and if they
are as good as his Glue, Headaches will soon van
ish away like snow in July.
fg* Over Excitement, and the mental care and
anxiety incident to close attention to business or
study, are among the iiumcrouscauses of Nervous
Headache. The disordered state of mind and
body incident to this distressing complaint is a
fatal blow to all energy and ambition. Sufferers
by this disorder can always obtain speedy relief
from these distressing attacks by using one of the
Cephalic Pills whenever the symptoms appear. It
quiets the overtasked brain, and sooth the strain
ed and jarring nerves, and relaxes the tension of
the stomach which always accompanies and ag
gravates the disordered condition of the brain.
Fact worth Knowing.—Spalding’s Cephalic
Pills are a certain cure tor Sick Headache, Bilious
Headache, Nervous Headache, Costiveness and
General Debility.
Great Discovery.—Among the most important
of all the great medical discoveries of this age.
may be considered the system of vaccination for
protection from the Small Pox, the Cephalic Pill
ior relief of Headache, and the use of Quinine for
the prevention of Fevers, either of which is a sure
specific, whose benefits will be experienced by
suffering humanity long after their discoverers
are forgotten.
Did you ever have the Sick Headache ?
Do you remember the throbbing temples, the
fevered brow, the loathing and disgust at the
sight of food. How totally unfit you were for
pleasure, conversation or study. One of the Ce
phalic Pills would have relieved you from all the
suffering which you then experienced. For this
and other purposes you should always have a box
of them on hand to use as occasion requires.
Nervous Headache
Headache.
By the use of these PILLS, the periodic attacks of Nervous
or Sick Hca-lache, may be prevented , and if taken at the
commencement of the attack immediate relief from pain and
sickness will be obtained.
They seldom fall in removing the Nausea and Headache t
which Females are so subject.
They act gently upon the bowels—removing Costiveness.
For Literary Men, Students, Delicate Females, and aH per
sons of sedentary habits, they are valuable as a Laxative, Im
proving the appetite , giving tone and tiyor to the digestive or
gans. and restoring the natural elasticity and strength of the
! whole system.
The CEPHALIC PILLS are the result of long investigation
| and carefully conducted experiments, having been in many
| years, during which time they have prevented and relieved a
} vast amount of pain and suffering from Headache, whether
! originating in the nervous system or from a deranged state of
the stomach.
They are entirely vegetable in their composition, and may be
taken at all times with perfect safety without making any
change of diet, and the absence of any disagreeable taste
enders it easy to administer them to children.

THE
Only Discovery
WORTHY OF ANY CONFIDENCE FOR
RESTORING
The Bald mid Gray.
MANY, since the great discovery of Prof. Wood, have at
tempted not only to imitate his Restorative, but profess .
to have discovered something that, would produce results iden
tical ; hut they have all come and gone, Being carried away by i
the wonderful results of Prof. Wood’s preparation, and have
been forced to leave the field to its res.stlcss sway. Read tne 1
following :
B ATH, M K., April 18th, 1859.
Prof. O. J. Wood & Co.—Gents: The letter 1 wrote you in
185 G, concerning your valuable Hair Restorative, and which |
you published in t his vicinity and elsewhere, has given rise to
numerous Inquiries touching the facts in the case. The inqui
ries are—first, is it a fact of my habitation and name, as stated .
In the communication ; second, is it true of all contained there- .
In ; third, does my luir still continue to be in good order ana
of natural color ? To all I ean ami do answer, invariably yes.
M v hair Is even better than in any stage of my life for 40 years
past—more soft, thrifty and better colored ; the same is true of
my whiskers, and the only cause why it Is not generally true,
is that the substance is washed off by frequent ablution of the
face, when if care were used in wiping the face in close con
nection with the whrskers, the same result will follow as to the
iiair. I have been in the receipt of a great number of letters
from all parts of New England, asking me if my hair still con
tinues to be good ; as there is so much fraud iu the manufac
ture and sale of various compounds as well as this, it has no
doubt been basely imitated and been used, not only without
auy good eflcct, but to absolute injury. 1 have not. used any
of your Restorative of any account for some months, and yet
my hair is as good as ever, and hundreds have examined It with
surprise, as 1 am nowdil years old and not a gray hair iu my
head or on my face ; and to prove this fact, I send you a lock
of my hair taken off the past week. I received your favor of
two quart bottles last summer, for which lam very grateful. I
gave it to my friends, and thereby induced them to try it 1
many were skeptical unitl after trial, and then purchased and
used it with universal success. I will ask as a favor, that you
send me a test by which 1 can discover fraud in the Restora
tive, sold by many, I fear, without authority from you. A
pure article will insure success, and I believe where good effects
do not follow, the failure is caused by the Impure article, which
curses the inventor of the good. I deem it my duty as hereto
fore, to keep you apprised of the continued effect on my hair,
al* 1 assure all who inquire of me of my unshaken opinion ot
its valuable results. I remain, dear sir, yours,
A. C. Raymond.
Aaron’s Run, Ky., Nov. 30,1868
Prof. O J. Wood—Dear Sir: I would certainly be doing you
a great injustice not to make known to the world the wonderful,
as well as the unexpected result I have experienced from using
one bottle of your Hair Restorative. After using every kind
of Restorative extant, but without success, and finding my
head nearly destitute of hair, I was finally induced to try a
bottle of your Hair Restorative. Now, candor and justice
compel me to announce to whoever may read this, that 1 now
possess anew and beautiful growth of hair, which 1 pronounce
ri her and handsomer than the original was. I will therefore
take occasion to recommend this invaluable remedy to all who
may feel the necessity of it. Respectfully yours,
Rev. S.Allen Bbock-
P. S. This testimonial of my approbation for your valuable
medicine (as you are aware of; is unsolicited ; but if you think
it worthy a place among the rest, insert if you wish ; if not de
stroy and say nothing. Yours, &c., •

PROFTIT MILLER'S
HAIRIHYIGORATOB.
AN EFFECTIVE, SAFE AND ECONOMICAL
COMPOUND,
FOR RESTORING GREY HAIR
to its original color, without dyint', and preventing the Hair
from turning grey.
FOR PREVENTING BALDNESS,
and curing it when there Is the least particle of vitality for re
cuperative energy remaining.
FOR REMOVING SCURF & DANDUFF
and all Cutaneous Affectionr of tlje Scalp.
FOR BEAUTIFYING- THE HAIR,
raparting to it an unequalled gloss and brilliancy, making it
soft and silky in its texture, and causing it to curl readily.
The great celebrity and the increasing demand for this une
qualled preparation, convinces the proprietor that, one trial is
only necessary to satisfy a discerningpublicoHts superior qttali
ties over any other preparation at present in use. It cleanses
the head and scalp from dandruff and other cutaneous diseases;
causes Mm hnir t<> grow luxuriantly, ami gives it a rich. .-.lt,
glossy and flexible appearance; and also where the hair is
loosening and thinning, it will give strength ami vigor to the
roots, ana restore the growth to those parts which l ave become
bald, causing it to yield a fresh covering of hair. J 231
There are Hundreds of Ladles and Gentlemen in w York
who have had their hair restored by the use of the Inv.gorator,
when all other preparations had Called. L. M.has in his pos
session letters innumerable testifying to the above facts, from
persons of the highest respectability. It will effectually pre
vent the hair from turning grey until the latest period of life;
and in cases where the hair has already changed its color, the
use of the Invigorat.or will certainly restore it to lta original
hue, giving it a dark, glossy appearance. ..As a perfume for the
toilet and a Hair Restorative, it is peculiarly recommended,
having an agreeable fragrance ; and the great facilities it. affords
in dressing the hair, which, when moist with the lnvlgorator
can be dressed in any required form so as to preserve its placo,
whether plain or in curls—hence the great demand for It by the
ladies as a standard toilet article which none ought to be with
out, as the price places it within the reach of all, being
ONLY TWEMTY-FIVE CENTS
per bottle, to be had at all respectable druggists’ and perfumers.
L. MILLER would call the attention of Barents and Guar
dians to the use of nis Invigorator, in cases where the childrens’
Hair inclines to he weak. The use. of it lays the foundation for
a good head of Hair, as it removes any impurities that may
! have become connected with the scalp, the removal oi which is
necessary, both for the health of the child and the future ap
pearance of Its Hair.

AYfiR’S SARSAPARILLA.
A COMPOUND remedy in which we have labored to pro
duce the most effectual alterative that can be made. It. is
a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with
other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford an
effective antidote for the diseas s .Sarsaparilla is reputed to
cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those
who suffer from Strumous complaints, and tout one which w ill
accomplish their cure must prove of immense service-to this
large class of our afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this
compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following complaints :
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints, Eruptions and Eruptive
Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Affections, Mercurial Dis
ease, Dropsy, Neuralgia or Tic Douloureux, Debility, Dyspep
sia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony’* Fire,
aud indeed the whole class of complaints arising from Impurity
of the Blood.
This compound will be found a great promoter of health,
when taken in the spring, to expel the foul humors which fes
ter in the blood at this season of the year. By the timely ex
pulsion of them many rankling disorders arc nipped In th*- bud.
Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves
from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores,
through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions,
if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the
body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood
whenever you And its impurities bursting through the akin in
pimples, eruptions or sores ; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse It whenever it is
foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even where no
particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer lor cleansing the blood. Keep the ! lood healthy, aud all
is well; but with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be
no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong,
and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation of accom
plishing these ends. But the world has been egregrioualy de
ceived by preparations of it. partly because the drug alone has
not all the virtue that is claimed for it, but more because many
preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts of it, con
tain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else.
During late years the public have been misled by large bot
tles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla lor
one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any. Sarsaparilla but often no
curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disap- j
pointment haa fallowed the use of the various extracts of Sar- !
sapariila which flood the market, until the name itself is justly |
despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and
cheat, mill we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to
supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of
obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground j
for believing it has virtues wI ieh are irresistible by the ordinary j
run of the diseases it is intended to cure. In order to secure j
their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should j
be Judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle.

THE ECLECTIC
WASHING MACHINE.
’ riMfIS Machine, which has but recently been introduced into
t JL Georgia, la considered, by competent judges, to be the test
j eveFinvented. According to the estimate of those who have
! been using it in their families, it will execute as much in two
hour.- as au ordinary hand will in a day. it cleanses the gar
ments thoroughly, without injuring even the most delicate fa
brios—the cleanring being effected by pressure, and not by frio
! This Machine is manufactured in Georgia. The “ Right”,
for the Mate is owned by a native Georgian, and It is now offer
ed to the ciiizcL* ot Georgia, ar a labor-saving machine of su
j perior merits. So far as it has been tested, it ha* never failed
j In any one instance to give the most entire satisfaction.
■ Persons wishing to obtain these Machines, or County Rights
for the same, can apply to the Rev. R.M. BAKER, LaFayette,
Walker county. Proprietor for the State of Georgia.
