GREAT - ATTRACTION
In the Southern Trade!
WILLIAM SMITH, Watch- C£g
maker, No. 81 Broad street,
begs to iuform the respected in- [£ /
habitants of Columbus and its _lt -yjf*
vicinity that he has relinquished
for the future the sale of
Watches, and intends to give his whole attention
to RKPAIKB ONLY. Wutches are snch delicate
machines that if in fixing them the mind is nt all
abstracted from tho object in view it is very un- .
certain about them being piopeily done, and if ‘
you employ a workman to do them for you it is I
still as uncertain—for where you get one done 1
properly aud to your satisfaction you are likely I
to find three not fit to put into a customer’s
pocket; aud Mr. 8. does not hesitate to say there
is no one so likely to do them justice as the
master that knows his trade, and whose whole
and solo interest is absorbed in them.
Mr. S.has a good stock of well-selected Watches
by him, and which he will dispose of at a great j
reduction, providing too much time is not taken
up the sale, otherwise they will be sent to publio
auction. The unprecedented success of his pro- ,
decessor, L. Gatawskey, is the cuuse of his adopt
ing the same principle.

CHEROKEE REMEDY!
AN UNFAILING CURE FOR
Gonorrhoea and all Diseases of the
Urinarv Organs.
THIS REMEDY cures when all other prepara
tions fail. It is entirely unlike every other
compound; containing no mineral poison or nau
seous drug, us it is prepared solely from Roots,
Barks and Leaves, and has been handed down,
from one generation to another, by the Cherokee
Indians. It is offered to tho public on its own in
trinsic rnorits. It performs its duty quickly and
thoroughly. Tho unfortunate of either sex will
be repaid by using this Remedy, instead of placing
themselves at the mercy of some Quack or Pro
fessor. This Remedy strikes at the very root of
the disease; its tendency is not simply to suspend
the poison, but to remove the cause on which it
depends. Full directions in pamphlet form ac
company each bottle. The speedy and permanent
relief afforded by this Remedy, in all cases of
Gonorrhoea, Gleet, Gravel, Stricture,
Fluor Alima (Whites in Females), and all dis
eases of the Urinary Organs, has astonished the
moaVscientiflc men of the age. This Remedy not
only eradicates all poison from tho system, but
invigorates the most delicate constitution.
It does not affect the broath or interfere with
any claaa of business, or require any deviation
from the usual diet.
It requires no assistance from other medicine.
And what enhances its value is the eutire ab
sence of all nauseous taste, being a ploasant and
delicious syrup.
Price $2 per Bottle, or Three Bottles for $6.

The Misses Gretter, of Richmond, Va.,

The Duel at Fort Molten.
Some solicitude having been expressed
in certain quarters regarding tbe duel at
Fort Mcßae, near Pensacola, we state
upon the authority of a gentleman just
from the Forts, that St. Clair Morgan, the
wouudod party, was not seriously wound
ed, and is now up and quite as well as
usual.
The duel was fought with ayouugman
named Storrs, staying at Fort Mcßae, but
connected with no military company.—
They were out rowing in a boat, and
getting iuto a dispute came back to land,
stepped off forty paces and exchanged
shots with Sharpe’s rifles.
Tobacco for the French Govern
ment.
We learn that James Gray’s sons, mer
chants of this city, says the Richmond
Dispatch, have been awarded, over a
number of competitors, the contract for
buying Tobacco in the Richmond market
for thu French Government. The firm
named are tho sub agents for parties in
New York, who have the whole coutraot
for the United States. The Tobacco trade
is a monopoly with tho French Govern
ment, to which it yields yearly a revenue i
of about thirty five million of dollars.—
The profit on tbe Richmond contract
must be in the neighborhood of $20,000.
Special to the Montgomery Mail
Washington, March 25.—The New

take place on the arrival of the steamer.
No intimation whatever has been given
by the authorities of South Carolina that
any attempt will be made by them to
prevent the evacuation of the Fort in
such manner as the United States Gov
ernment may see proper to employ. If
any attempt should be made to prevent
the evacuation in mauner directed, Maj.
Anderson is instructed to remain in the
Fort aud open his batteries on the city.

Ht*f Hlaiory of tl> Guinea Case.
The New York Times gives tho follow
ing resume of the material facts oonneeted
with this interesting case, whioh were as
lullows: Daniel Clark, who was one of
the early settlers in the colony of Louis
iana, was a very remarkable person. His
sagaoity, prudence, end business taot,
soon placed him at the head of Us mone
tary world, while his beauty of person,
popular character aud agreeable manners,
afforded him a similar position in the so
cial circle. In 1802 he became acquain
ted in Philadelphia with a lady of extra
ordinary personal beauty, named Zulixne
Carriers. She was born in the old
French colony of Biloxi, and her pareuts
wore emigrants from the land of poetry
and romance—Provence —the favorite
home of the Troubadours. When Clark
first met her, she had been living in wed
lock with’ a swindler named Jerome
Du Grange, who, having dazzled her with
a glittering coronet, married her, and
then disclosed the astounding facts that
he was a confectioner aud a bigamist.
! Zulime appealed for protection to Clark,
who, being warm-hearted and chivalrous,
i at once espoused her cause, and after
i becoming convinced that De Grange had
anothor wife living, espoused her himself.
The marriage was kept secret, and in
1800, Myra, now Mrs. Gaines, was born.
Being naturally desirous of having her
connection with Clark a publioly ac
knowledged one, Zulime went to Now Or
leans to obtain legal proofs of her first
husband’s rascality. While she was gone,
Clark, who bad grown iuto an influential
politician, became enumored of Miss
Caton, a grand daughter of Charles Car
roll, witli whom he contracted an engage
ment, though when reports were brought
to Miss Caton alleging her lover’s mar
riage to Zulime, she at once insisted upon
a release from the engagement, and she
subsequently became the Marchioness of
Wellesley.
In the meantime, Zulime had returned
to Philadelphia, and sought to obtain
proofs of her marriage with Clark, who
had, with singular treaohery, destroyed
all that he could discover. Finding her
self helpless, in a strange country, and
with a child dependent upon her, she was
wholly at a loss what to do, and, in her
destitution, driven almost to despair, she
accepted the hand of Dr. Gardette, who,
with kindness and generosity, united his

Death of a Heroic Laly.
Mrs. Mary Ann Batten, widow of the
late Capt. Joshua Batten, died in Boston
on .Sunday of consumption. Mrs. Batten,
it will be remembered by many, says the
Courier, was the heroic wife, who, some
three or four years ago, nursed her sick
husband when prostrated by illness and
incurable blindness, and took ohargs of
his ship—the Neptune’s Car—and in
spite of the officer’s desire to put into
Valparaiso, navigated the vessel to Bau
Francisco, aud thus saved muoh detention
as well as expense to the underwriters.
Mrs. Batten had nearly completed her
24th year.
