TYLER’S AGUE AND FEVER PILLS.
NO CURE NO PAY.
A CERTAIN, safe and effectual cure for
Ague and Fever, in all its varied Forms. Al
so, an excellent Tonic. in Dyspepsia, Palpitation
#fthc Heart, Loss of Appetite, Neuralgia, Nerv
ous and other diseases, which arise from a weak
and debilitated condition of tic system.
These pills arc prepared by Dr. O. K. Tyler, a
regularly educated physician, who from many
years experience, can confidently recommend
them as tue best remedy for Ague and Fever eve/
offered to the public; having frequently tested
their great curative power upon those who had
long suffered under the troublesome aud danger
ous diseases.
.Several eminent physicians who have obtained
a high standing for their successful treatment o:
Ague and Fever, use this preparation, and asser!
that they have never known a single instance
where it was taken as directed, that it did not
effect a permanent and lasting cure.
These pills contain neither mercury erarsenic,
nor any thing that can injure the but on
the contrary, may bo taken where a medicine o
this kind is needed, not only with perfect safety,
but with the most decided advantage.

DR. GORDON’S
VHGETA3LE ANTi-B'LLiO'JS FAMILY PILLS,
For the Cure of If :luuus Fever, Yellow Fever,
I'rm'ittaU and Intermittent Fevers, Inflam
matory, Nervous and Putrid Fever, Pain in
the Haul, Side, Pick and Stomach Inflam
mation of (he Bntin, Stomach, Lungs, Liver,
Kidneys, Throat and Chest,
DU GORDON’S PILLS etc truly the sick
man’s friend. No Traveller or Family
should be without them. Their timely adminis
tration wilLprevent much pain and suffering, and
save many valuable lives.
These Pills were compounded by Dr. Gordon
after years of study and cnretW observation upon
the nature of different medicines, and the effect
which they produce upon different constitutions
in various forms of disease. They have been ex
tensively used by some of our most eminent
Physician’S, and by many privai- families for sev
eral years ; and such has been the satisfaction
which they have given, that it is lirmiy believed
that the vegetable kingdom does i bt furnish any
materials for a purgative medi-dne, which sur
passes for general use, those of which these pills
arc composed. They do not contain Calomel,
Mercury or any mineral preparation ; but are
composed entirely of concentrated vegetable
extracts, carefully prepared and ko combined as
to be Certain, Safe* and Easy in their operation
—should it be otherwise, the stomach and bowels
contain foul and acrid bilious matter —showing
great necessity for purgative medicine.
The bowels being the principal channel t'l rough
which a great portion of the impurities of thb sys
tem are discharged, it is evident that whatever
acts beneficially on them must be conducive to
health.
It a physician is called to a patient, what is the
first thing done ? He prescribes a dose or two of
purgative medicines; and then, after a day or
two, if the patient is no better, he gives him an
other dose of purgative medicine, and so on ; do
ing some other little things—but the mam reli
ance for a cure is upon the effect produced by
purgative medicines. Therefore it'you are sick
delay not, but take a few doses of Dr. Gordon's
Vegetable Family Pill?, and be again restored to
health. For sale by

PETER'S PILLS..
IF there ever was a medicine worth the
attention ofthu sick for the great good it h. ’
done, and is still doing, hy relieving the sick and
afflicted, it is PETER’S VEGETABLE PlLL’S—
the vast number of persons they have cured of
Liver Disease, Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Bilious
and all diseases arising from a derangement of the
organs oftlie stomach, warrants the assertion that
if any person thus afflicted will use them, they
cannot fail to cure. Thousands of cases have
been cured, and their certificates could be pub
lished, but for the want of .pace we must forbear,
and say, the trial of a box will be more satisfac
tion than a thousand certificates.

able Pills. The vast and increasing demand for
these Pills, and the, numerous cases they have
cured of Liver Disease, Dyspepsia, Sick Headache,

their stocks direct from the proprietor, nnd they
would say to their numerous customers, that they
have just received a fresh stock, and will sell at

with its appurtonaucea, has been leased, for the
period o! ten years, to the teachers, whose daily
study and toil, shall be devoted to the great and
permanent interests of the school. While our
system of instruction will claim no affinity with
those methods, which propose to s ive the pupil,
the labor and difficulty of hard study; still no
effort, on our part, shall be wanting to aid the
pupil in laying the foundation of a thorough edu
cation. Every student shall be taught to ‘Lit
among the roots, as well as to admire ifio lair tree
of knowledge.
The government and discipline of the school
will be efficient and adapted to secure the obedi
ence and good of the pupil. Students will be un
der the general □ ’.lervision of the Instructors,
no less when awn from the school grounds, than
during school lu- ir. Their habits and morals
will always be guarded with vigilance, and a
punctual attendance on the Sabbath, at someone

Gur town is too generally noted for the quiet, in

residing in Harris ami the adjoining counties,
who wish to have their daughters thoroughly in

have secured the services of ss Mary A. and
Miss Amanda C. Wilson, for the ensuing scho
lastic year. In addition to the facilities usually
enjoyed at other institutions for the acquirement
of knowledge, thy Hamilton Female Seminary
will afford many that are peculiar. Not the least
of these advantages, in the opinion of the sub
scribers, is that it will be under the exclusive con
enced, and who’are deficient in no qualification
requisite to a faicuful and judicious performance
of the task they will undertake, if will bo ob
served by a glance at the list of studies pursued
ii the different departments, that uu ‘.ireful brunch
of education is omitted, and that the pupils of
this Seminary will have no cause to lament the
inadequacy of the Course. But besides this, the
Misses Wilson have exhibited to the subscribers
the most satisfactory testimonials of their exalted
moral worth, amiability of manners, and their
competency to impart a full knowledge ofthose
sciences included in the subjoined course of in
struction. Parents who reason correctly upon
the subject of education, will estimate v%ry high

MISCELLANY.
FOR THE TIMES.
A RAMBLE IN NORTH-WESTERN
(IEOUOIA.
Mr. Editor : As Noitb-Western Geor
gia is deslinetl at a (Jay not far distant to
have a controlling influence in the affairs of
the State, I have snpf>osed that an account
<f a ramble through that region, during the
past season, would not be wholly unaccept
able to your readers at a time when you
have neither battles, nor election news, nor
any other very exciting matter to lay before
them. Some business requiring my pres
ence as high as Marietta, in September, 1
concluded after I got that high, and loutid
the weather too warm to return South, to
go a3 far as the Lookout Mountain, Nicka
jack,&c. My time was too short to give
tlte country as minute an examination as i
wished, but what information I did gain is
at yout ser.ice. Should I digress occasion
ally. and speak more of those I was with
and myself than of the country, you must
set it down to the fotce of example—as 1
had spent most of the summer in leading
tlie debaies in Congress, in which the mem
bers, with few exceptions, spoke of eveiy
thing excef t what was before the House.
i had been over a considerable portion of
litis country within the last few yeats. hut
Imd not been as far to sire North West as I
wished to examine, since it was inhabited
by the Cherokeea—and then only along
what was railed the Federal Road.
Marietta the first village at which 1
stopped, (I had r de through Campbellion,
which is neatly all suburbs,) is a pleasant
iiltie place, by the side of the Railroad, at and
in full view of the Kenesaw Moujflain. It
has two pielty good Hotels, both of them
towded willt visitors, ptincipally from the
middle and lower counties, with ilie addition
>f a few Hiutit Carolinians. From the
Hotel Register, I found that the villaye had
neen honoied with a visit by some of out
nost distinguished citizens—amongst them,
iw’ge Cheves and Guv. Hammond, of So.
Carolina, and Georgia's gifted and tiine
tonoted sort, Gov. Troup, accompanied by
itis son and daugh er. Tt.ere are some
pretty residences in the envitons, but the
prettiest is ex-Governor McDonald’s. The
Governor was on the eiicuil, but I found his
ruly hospitable and accomplished lady,
ind his pretty daughters, at home. If there
was no one else living in or near Marietta,
die place would be well, worth visiting on
their account.
There is another pretty little villace in
Cobb county, a kind of ’• social circle,” 12
miles from Marietta, called Roswell, from
its venerable founder, Roswell King. At
his place teside some very pleasant fatrti
ties, mostly from the seaboard. They have
a Cotton Factory here, said to oe doing a
good business. Gov. McDonald and Col.
Rogers, of Campbell, are putting up anotliet
near the mouth of Sweet Water, eight or
ten miles above Campbellion. They also
intend putting up a fine Flour mill. They
have fine water power, aud I think a healthy
location. Cobb county has not much land
oftlie Hist quality, but there ts a great deal
dial is sufficiently fertile to rewaid the la
borers fur their toil, and the county is rapid
ty filling up with good citizens. What 1
have seen of Forsyth county is ptetty mu. ii
like Cobb.
From Maticita I went to Cooper, Stroup &
Wiley’s lion Works, on lire Etowah, in Ca>?
eoutiiy. three or liiur miles above ihe Rail
road. They are doing a j;ood deal of busi
ness here, and are preparing in do a gieai
leal more, ‘i hey make some forty inns a
we"k, including castings, pig, and wiougln
iron, ami they me pre|iarin lor a Iloliing
■ni!l. Their iron is exceedingly soft, and
soil in Ire . i] ii til to Russia und Norwegian
or sheet iron, wire, or any purpose requiring
great malleability. The beds of ore around
dictn appeal to be inexhaustible, and ilieir
water power is sufficient lo make iron for
ill (ieoigia. They have a Wool-carding
machine doing well, and ihey me putting
up a latge I nil story Flour mill, ol stone,
where they expect to he able to manufacture
80,000 barrels annually. They design
building a branch .Railroad to the Strut
mad, as their own frt igli's wili soon amount
to twenty tons pei day. They use char
coal in making iion, and consume 250.000
bushels a year. There Cali scarcely arise
i doubt as to the success of this Company,
composed as it is of ihree of ihe rndst ener
getic men l ever saw, and ore of them (Mi.
.Stroup) brought up to the business. Would
not many of our planters who are v/oiking
vorn and exhausted lands, do well lo go to
die mountain tlistiiels and make iron !
The scenery around the Iron Winks is very
pretty —the mountains in many places ex
tending lo he water’s edge, the spurs in
some places having lo be cut away to make
roads. Their lops and slopes are geneinlly
coveted with t lie mountain oak. and pint,
and along the hank’s of the river you lino
the ivy, laurel, and rhodnilern run. Noth
in.! can be more brauliful than the banks,
.when these shrubs a.e in bloom—not even
our own splendid Magnolia groves. In ad
ditiori lo the vast beds ol iron all thiougli
ttiis region, there is lime enough to plaster
all the houses that ever weie, or ptohahly
ever will be built. It sells as low some
■ times as (i terns per bushel, and if ever the
talked of Knfrond from Columbus lo fiornes
ville is built, it can be furnisher! at the for
mer place at $1 25 to $1 50 per burrel :
•ind t ete is marble enough in theGhciokee
counties, to erect a monument to the mem
oty of ai! ins good men that evet did live,
nod to all the bad one3 that ever ought lo
live.
Fiom the Iron Works I went four miles
west to “ Rowland's Springs,” w here I
found -orne pleasant company and plenty
if mineral water, mostly chalybeate. This
is anew e.-lablishment, and being near the
Kail mad. btls lair lo become a place of
foii*iJe>able resort. Here I met with Gov.
Troup, and was highly gratified to find that
nine had dealt kindly with him since I had
seen him last. He looks more hale and
hearty than he did dtiri g his contests with
Mr. Adams and Gen. Gaines, in 182.5 and
1826, when the late Gen. Glascock said he
• bad iriumi hedover twenty-three. Stales and
a half: we had then hut twrnty fur.
Whatever may Have been said of I im in
those exciting limes, I believe there is but
one opinion in Georgia, on the subject ol
hit emitrovcisy, rote —arid that is. that lie
was right, and out.wrote the President and,
-til iis officers The true frier ds ol Slate
Rights uwe more to Gov. Troup, than any]
man that has.lived str.ee the days of Mr.
Jefferson.* He taught those v\ho weie at
die head of the Federal Government, thirt
the sovereign States of this Confederacy
were something more than petty Corpm-a
tions. May their successors tieVcr lbrget
tlte lessen !
From Rowland’s I struck ihto what i*
called the Tennessee road—leaving Cnss
ville to the left—stopping a few (lays ;>l
Major Freeman’s, on the Northern line of
Lass county, where I found a gimi rttnnv
acquaintances iiorn the mtddlo founties, and
(wiiat was quite pleasing to an old bachelor.)
amongst them some very pretty Girls, and
the prettiest Widow in the State. 1 would
recommend all travellers on tiffs, toad to
stop at Freeman's, also at Col. JohnsonV;
fourteen rndes below him. They both keep 1
good hot/ses, at moderate rates” anil have
guns and dogs, horses and saddles, and hunt
with you. if you desire it.
From F tee man’s I \vent to Col. Carter's
famous Coosawattee place, and spent a daV
01 two “ hunting the red deer’’— killediVei’?
lew myself. The Colonel hns the finest
farm in upper Georgia, where they calcu-
Ime on making between 4G..000 anil 60,00'J
bushels of corn.
Immediately above his farm, the Colonel
has as fine water power as mart could desire.
The scenery along the hanks of the Coosa.
wattee, above the farm, is beautiful the
mountains rising 5 0 r COU feet above the wa
ter. and on the point that over looks the farm,
there has been in ancient times, rur intrench
ed camp or fort, probably the work of the
Indiana who once lived in the plain below,
as a place of refuge for their wives and chil
dren, when the warriors, weie absent off
hunting or war parties. Four miles above
is the Coosawattee falls, a wild and pictu
resque scene, wheicthe Col’s daughters gave
a pic-tffc in 1842, when CM. \V~-n stuck, a
brier in I i< f, ot and thong fit he .was snake
hit. and took a large dose of ’harp-horn and
bruiuly before he discovered bis mistake;
and where 1 jumped into the river to get out
oftlie way ol yellow jackets, showing that
‘ here weie not more than tuo steps font (tie
sublime to the ridiculous. Tuo miles
above Col. Carter's resilience, stands the
plain but commodious and hospitable man*
sion . t Maj. M. A. G , w 110 lias a line body,of
good land well adapted to all kinds of grain
and giassts. 1 found Mrs. C. and her
daughters, Mrs. S. and Miss C., at home, &
spent a day with them. . I remember once
10 have read in an Arabian story of a lady
” <) eyes so beautiful and fascinating,
linn one g anee fiom them would arrest a
empsc on i's passage to the tomb; 1 know
not hat effect Aliss C.’.'s might have on a
bur Ixvill venture one thing, that
they would arrest any thing living. ‘ I re
collect a caseo r a countryman, who was so
charmed by a similar pair, that he stood gaz.
ing at them until a wagon ran over him,
and on nri investigation of the matter itap
peated that the wagoner was looking tho
some wav. There ‘ought to be a law to
compel all Indies ha\ ing such bewitching
eyes, to go veiled when they go out. Just
above Maj. C.’s the Tennessee road forks,
1 lie tight leading into Tennessee by Mc-
Naii s old place (now Judge Kennedy’s,) ibo
leti by Spring I'lace aud Chattanooga 1 a
second left turning ~ff- n ear the foot of the
Look Out uu tmuiinand crossing below tlm
muiovvs 01 “suck ’of the Teunessee. Itis
also 1 lie road to the northern part of Dade
county, and to JNickajnck. The Tennes
see road horn the Etowah to the Tennessee
line, on both prongs, is mr'toh better than wo
usually find in middle Georgia, and a large
pmtion 0! the land on both routes is fair (arm
ing land. I lie right hand road runs for
many miles near the foot of the Cohutta
mountains, from the summit of which them
are some fine views, and on one of the highest
poinisofthc mountain, there is a stone wall
(some parts of which is still in pretty good
preservation,) that the oldest Indians had
o tradition Concerning those who built it.
It encircles some 6or 8 acres. Near tho
.southern part oftlie wail, some loOOor 1800’
feet above the Valley through which the
•oad runs, is a tine cool opting, where a largo
party el us lunched in 1843— amongst them
four young ladies, who rode to the top of the
mountain without once dismounting. The
morning 1 left Maj. C.’s 1 joined Mrs. W.
•and Sister, fiom hortGa ncs, on their wav
to lire Look Out mountain, to which place
I hod promised to escort them. Miss C.
was to have joined the party, Ini!was dis
appointed. We made a short halt at Spring
Place, a pretty site for a village, having n
line view of the Cobuita ttroun ain*, hut its
reputation tor unhealtlffness has retarded os
growth. In ol the vil age is a neat

many years, a wealthy hj:f breed (Joe Van.)

His cattle are nearly till of the finest Eng

how short the illusion—rhat veiv. davyo'u

and asked him ii he had cv- f -fen as
