ft?* In consequence of the absence of the
editor during the greater part of last week,
several communications intended for to day’s
paper have been omitted.
The communication addressed to the Ladies
of Mclntosh county, will appear in our next.
Our accounts from Mobile and Augusta con-;
tinuc to be most distressing. The yellow fe
ver still prevails in Charleston, and we fear j
will continue until frost.
The editor of the New Orleans True Ameri
can is most unfortunate in his office—all his
workmen are sick or dead, and he is obliged to
depend on the boys about the office to get out
his paper.

Tkxas.—We congratulate our Texas friends
on the agreement of France to recognise the
pendence of their prosperous republic.
% ung more need be wanted to convince the
worij how eminent have been her strides to
wards power and greatness. France, the coun
try of distinguished statesmen and warm phi
lanthropists—-of men celebrated in science and
arts—France, the great pioneer in the progress j
of liberal principles in Europe and the friend
of Americatoo — France has signified her in
tention to embrace to her bosom the infant re
public and watch it with the care of an old
[sister. Were we a Texan wc should be ela
j ted beyond measure—as it is we are in rap
tures for our friends there, and are dazzled by
the ten thousand brilliant images that the bare
announcement of the fact calls up. We hope
soon to the details of a treaty ofcominerce
(which shall secure to both the “high contrac
ting parties” infinite advantages.
One of the Africans of the Armistad, named
‘Antonio Simon, died on Wednesday night in
prison. He was brought to New Haven in a
feeble state, and was one of the leaders in the :
revolt.
Sale or Morus Multicauus.—Thirteen bun
dred and fifty Morus Multicaulis trees were
sold in Wilmington, N. C. on Tuesday last, of
all sizes, from one foot to eight, at forty-eight
cents per tree —the purchaser paying for them
on the spot, and taking all future risks of the
season.
Distress in Ireland. —The late English pa
pers furnish further details of distress and
starvation in various parts of Ireland. A letter
from a clergy man was read in the House of
Commons, which stated that the misery of the
people of'Newport, in the county of Mayo,
was frightful to think of. Mr. O’Conncl said
that owing to the failure of the second potato
crop, the people were on the verge of starva
tion. He spoke with a knowledge of the state
of things in Kerry, in which county the gen
try had made every aacrificeand done all they
could to alleviate the sufferings of their poor
neighbors. The case was of that pressing na
ture, that it was absolutely necessary that
something should he done in the way of relief,
without the least delay.
Mr. Sergeant Jackson said that he had re
ceived four letters on this subject from Dandon
and its neighborhood, and, to mention one fact
only, it appeared that, of a population of 7,000
persons, there were3,ooo in a state bordering
on starvation, and 1,000 utterly destitute. A
very small amount of relief from the Govern
ment, promptly administration, would save
great numbers of the population from perish
ing.
Macon, Rcpl. 20.
We do not remember ever having had to
record the prevalence of such a drought as
the present. We have not had a drop of
rain for several weeks—nor a good soaking
shower for a number of months ! Ihe con
sequence is, many of the wells & springs
are dry. Streams nevei before known to
fail, are now exhausted. The noble Oc
mulgee is reduced to a narrow streamlet,
fordable in almost any place opposite or
near the city. The roads are ground up to
ashes ; and the air is filled with an impalpa
ble powder, almost suffocating.
The crops have been materially injured. :
Late corn is entirely cut off. The Cotton j
crop throughout Georgia, will not be half |
as great as the prospect promised on the
first of August! Wc doubt whether it will
be greater than last year’s.
Gardens ars literally burnt up. Potatoes,
Peas, Turnips, &c. are very short.
COTTON arrives in small quantities.
About 10 cents is considered the current;
price.
Tiie Florida War.— We hear reports that
arrangements are making for arenewal of the
Florida war.— It is said that Gen. Scott, or 1
Gen. Macomb will have the command, and
that an army of twenty thousand men will be
sentintothe Territory this winter. We ate
happy tff perceive a disposition anddetermina-
liou'on the part of our Government to clear
the Seminoles at all hazards, from the Terri
tory.
We are happy to announce the arrival of
Mr. Keadle. of Va., Agent of the Company
about to establish the new line of communica
tion between the North and New Orleans, via
this city, an account of which we gave in our
last week’s impression. Mr. K. is already ma
king arrangements to build the necessary
bridges, &c. between this place and Tallahas
see, the most important of which is across the
Satilla, some thirty miles above this point.
Mr. K. informs us that teams are already pur
chased and all the necessary arrangements
made, and that the line will certainly go into
operation next month .—Brunswick Adv.

j To the Editor of the Herald.
Sir: In perusing your paper of lha 10th,
Inst. I find our rights assailed by “Fides,” lli-
I asmuch, we are charged in giving our signs
| tures in aid (I trust with many virtuous ones)
to put down the retail law, and supporting the
Temperance cause. However novel this may
appear, or singular for females to support their
j rights, and plead their justification in the pub
j lie prints, 1 trust sir, you will pardon one (for
the first time) having come forth in this way.
Claiming your indulgence in its publication,
assuring you I know trot the author who aasail
ledus: nor would I be personal thus being
assailed by “Fides,” in regretting to see the
fairer portion of our community having caught
the “Temperance mania,” and as he beholds
j them in his extensive charity, “precious and
| delicate lilies,” signing pledges to abstain from
j the use of ardent spirits , and with much sur
prise and astonishment says: “whoever thought
| they were in the habit of indulgence in the
! use of brandy and gin /” and believes it an
| “ H gc of wonders,” concluding with his recom
mendations, &o. and as a further remark “na
ture never intended them to mingle with the
affairs of State,” but when he touches the care
and attention they should have to their ‘Fa
thers, Husbands and Brothers ,” (and I \t’!H
add their sons too) I am exercised as one who i
feels deeply in all those relations. Should it j
not awaken the most abdurate heart, in witnes
sing those brutalized, from the effects of ar- !
dent spirits —and is it to be supposed that any
government, having the power to ameliorate
aud establish luws, useful for peace, harmony
and good order; would sanction one in rcciv- ]
ing taxes paid for the indulgence, the dire j
effect of which, calls forth a loud protest to all! j
Let the following queries be responded, Mr. ,
| Editor, not indeed as applying to Darien, and
this community only, but the country at large,
and what a sorrowful array ! !
1. What number ofdistilleries, taverns, grog
shops and stores, were ardent spirits have
been sold, are there now, or have there been,
within ten years, in your immediate vicinity, I
or within your personal knowledge ?
2. What have been the effects upon the char- j
acter, habits and health, of those persons gen-!
erally, who have been employed in the sever- ■
al branches of business and traffic, specified in
the first question and upon the condition and
circumstances of their families 7
3. \\ hat, in your opinion, is the proportion
in vonr neigborhood, between the number of
those who have died victims to strong drink,
within ten years, and the number of moderate
drinkers who have become confirmed drunk
ards, during the same period 7
4. What has been the result of your obser
vation, in reference to the habits of the sons of
drunkards, of moderate drinkers, and of dealers
in intoxicating liquors 7
5. How many tulcnled and promising young
men, of your personal acquaintance, have been
utterterly ruined in fortune, prospects, charac
ter and health, and have gone down to the
drunkard’s grave, within ten years 7
6. How many families in the circle of your
acquaintance have been wrecked, desolated
and reduced to poverty, within ten years, by
intemperance 7
7. How many beautiful and excellent young
ladies have you known, who have had all their
bright prospects shrouded in dispair and have
been subjected to want, neglect and barberous
abuse, by marrying temperate drinkers, who
speedily became abandoned drunkards 7
8. What is a probable estimate of the num
ber of broken hearted wives and mothers, and
of agonised sisters and daughters, within your
knowledge, whose crushing calamities have,
been caused by the drunken degradation oft’
husbands or sons, of brothers or fathers 7
0. How many distressed widows and desti
tute orphans, has drunkenness made in your vi
cinity, within the last ten years 7
10. How many professional men, Clergy
men, Lawyersor Physicians, have you known
as the victims of strong drink ; having lost
character, standing, business, health or life, by
the habit of inebriation 7
11. How many drunken School Masters
have you known within ten years 7
12. How many intemperate Ladies have
you known, and in how great a portion of in
stances was their degradation caused by the
example and conduct of their husbands 7
13. What length of time is usually requisite,
according to your opinion and observation, to
conduct a moderate drinker into the territory
of confirmed drunkenness, and an habitual
drunkard to his grave ?
14. We would respectfully inquire of Min
isters and Church Officers, in what proportion
: the cases of apostacy and excommunication,
I in their several churches, may justly be traced
I to this destructive vice. *
15. We also respectfully solicit from Judges,
Sheriffs and prosecuting Attorneys, written
statements in reply to the inquiry—what is the
j proportion in which deeds of violence and
blood in this State, result from the madness of
| intoxication.
16. What effects have been produced upon
j the blacks, in your vicinity, by the use of ar
j dent spirits, and by their access to grog-shops,
j in destroying value, health and life ?
17. How many ruined estates, desolate and
abandoned habitations, families reduced to
beggary and scattered through the western
wilds ; and how many scenes of domestic sor
row and anguish, of remorse and despair,
which no language can portray, can you now
call to mind, as the the fruits of intemperance,
within your personal knowledge ?
18. Finally, we earnestly request Physicians
and Clergymen, to furnish their candid testi
mony in answer to tl*e concluding question,
i viz : in what proportion have the fatal disea
! ses, of all the young and middle aged men,
whose death beds and funerals you have of- !
, ficially attended, been produced, directly or
i remotely by intemperate habits ?
And when I speak as feeling deeply indeed,
; let it not be understood as arising from selfish
jor persona! interest. No sir, in that respect, I
wmm county
j am happy ; assuring you, I have not a charge
of that nature against any one. to whom I ntn
united, in any of the relations mentioned. Feel
ings of philanthropy alone, has prompted us,
I trust: and sympathy for such us are unhap
pily connected, with which “Fides” should be
! similarly aroused.
The following letter from a drunkard’s wife
I is all in keeping with the subject before us :
(fVem the Hampshire Ornette ]
LETTER FROM a DRUNKARD’S WIFE.
Mr. Editor. — The following letter discloses the
feelings of*n affectionate wife, in making her lust
effort to reclaim an intemperate husband. Despair
ing of his reform, she had once left him ; and after a
seperation of five years (during which time he had
abandoned his cups,) she consented, though contrary
to the wishes of her friends, again to live with him.
For two years he adhered to Ins solemn engagements,
and abstained from the use of intoxicating drinks.
At the expiration of this period he again yielded to
temptation, and returned to his former habits. At
this lime the heart-stricken wife penned the following
letter and left it upon his table. The effect of it was
to produce a thorough and lasting reformation. The
insertion of it in your paper, may give it still further
influence. It is ns follows;
Dear Husband. —With a heart oppressed by dis
appointed hope, lam compelled to address you. In
reviewing the past year, and calling to mind God’s
distinguished goodness to us, in giving us health,
and all the blessings of this life, and especially, do
mestic pence and endearing friendship, 1 find that I
have placed my fond heart with too much confidence
on you.
Permit me to revert for a moment, to the time when
wc renewed our covenant vows. After a seperation
i of five years, we were permitted to meet again in this
world. (4od hud seen fit in his unbounded goodness,
to carry us tn.'ougb scenes of trial and danger, and
again to permit us l? behold our little family once
more seated at our own ha, n ”V fireside. You will re
member the struggle I hud aboul the lime I consented
to leave my father’s house for you.” sake. Every
friend I hail, I forsook for you, and threw myself en- ,
tirely on your mercy and protection. You hail iH 6 111 j
vour power to treat me as you pleased—to make me
happy or miserable. For two years my dear friend,
you have shown tome and tothe surrounding world
that it was your privilege to make your family as
happy as you had it in your power to do. You de
nied yourself every unreasonable gratification, and
passed through every temptation, and had gained
as l fondly hoped, a complete victory over yourself.
To your children you have been a kind, tender, and
affectionate father, and to your utmost, have endea
vored to promote the comfort and happiness of your
family. Surely, my dear husband, you have given
the world reason to call us ‘the happy family.’ By
your kind treatment to me, you have bound up the
heart, the sorrowing heart you had previously well
migh broken. Whenever business called you from
home, (as it did almost daily,) I was waiting calmly
for your return, happy to meet pou with a cheerful
heart and smiling countenance. I too fondly believed
that you would prove faithful to me to the end of
life. I believe your family was deared to you far
dearer to you than all the vain pleasures you could
find on earth. I had 100 fondly hoped that our home
was the centre of our enjoyments ns well as mine.
Our evenings were spent in cheerfulness—our nights
in quietness. The hours of midnight did not wit
ness as formerly the trembling heart, the departed
rest of your companion, waiting in fearful suspense
for the return of him who is so dear to us all.
And now, my dear companion, permit me serious
ly to inquire, whether those days are gone never to
return! Do yon intend to make me wretched, when
it is in your power to make me happy 1 Old if you
have no regurd for me, shall I plead in vain for those
innocent babes of whom you are the father! Must
it be sadly felt and awfully realized, that these chil
dren are lo behold their dear father, their earthly pro
tector forsaking them, and joining the company of
drunkards! <3, my heart sickens at the thought of
beholding you one oftheir number! The sun which
so recently shone with such brightness on our path,
ami cheered our hearts, and inspired our bosoms
with hope, is veiled in sadness; and the clouds seem
ready lo burst upon us.
O, my God, if I have ever known thee in sincerity,
in mercy remember me now, in this hour of conflict
and deep sorrow. Give me, O, my God, wisdom
from on high, to discharge my duty aright to my dear
family.
But is this stern enemy unconquerable! Has lie
entered our peaceful, happy dwelling, and robbed us
of all we held dear on eurth—and must lie reign here
never lo depart! If it must be so, then, O my God,
reconcile me to my unhappy fate, and prepare me to
exchange worlds.
I feel like n criminal, condemned to die, and for the.
last time pleading for life. It is in your power to
preserve l hat life or to destroy it. Yes, it is on you,
my dear huslmnd, that my future destiny for this
world depends. And whatis your decision!—Who
is to gain the victory! Must your reigning thirst be
obeyed at the expense of wretchedness and misery to
yourself and family! If you say it must, then (are
well to ul! hope and hgppmess on earth. But as long
as God sees fit to spare my life, 1 will prove myself
faithful and true to you. All that I can do to minis
ter to your comfort, these hands shall cheerfully per
form. No thing shall be done, on my heart to hinder
your enjoyment, in the path you desire to pursue.
My sorrowing heart, I will strive to veil with appar
ent cheerfulness, and my duties to my family endeav
our sacredly lo discharge. And when I am called
to surrender life, and to appear before my Maker,
God grant that my dear family may all find a man
sion in heaven—a happy home, where sin will never
more disturb our quin. This is the desire of her
whose happiness you once promised in the presence
of God sue redly to regard. May you peruse these
lines with kindness, and weigh well their import.
Your affectionate, but heart stricken wife.
This letter then, cites one of the numberless
cases arising from a spexial evil against which,
I would raise my voice and subscribe my name
to suppress, and which “Fides” must be well
aware of, if not estranged to his sex. Too often
indeed has it proven a curse to domestic hap
piness, and how many other evils and vices to
state, would fill volumns, if brought to view.
Suffice it, that of domestic happiness alone
would call forth all the aid which kind provi
denc has instamped in our nature, to wit:
sympathy, regard, filial and domestic love,
we should bear to those, who are “bone, of our
bone, and flesh, of our flesh,” and as you term
us those “ precious and dedicate lilies ” we must
be truly susceptable of those miseries which
from being trained under them many a fam
ily is brought to experience : yes, entailed up
on their wretchedness and woe, (and Mcln
tosh County, is not exempt) with a knowledge
of this reality. Should not such a picture
awaken the kindly feelings of “Fides” towards
“those delicate lilies” in reference to whom,
he seems lo exercise so little charity. I can
not believe he is so destitute of the fond feel
ings of our nature towards an affectionate wife,
a devoted sister, and fond sons and daughters,
ms to eonsider us merely automatons. Let
me ask him, what must be the feelings of those
so repeatedly beholding a father devoted to the
tippling bar, and when returned to the do
micil, so inebriated, his passions excited, fear
and dread, depicted upon every countenance
—and deathly silence is exercised by all under
the influence of fear. And can such a house
be esteemed as containing the “settled family,
secured and happy V I trust not. If “Fides”
is one of a family and moves in that domestic
circle, hemust know the responsibility of such
a relation. Example and precept, will be his
motto, knowing verily the care, fatigue and af
fection of a fond mother and wife, in watching
over those pledges of their love—these will
prompt him to the fulfilment erf duties becom
ing his plqce. Should not their hearts be as
one, hi the nurture and admonition of those
• dear pledges 7 Such will render early itnpres
i sihns upon their youthful and tender minds,
. | whose salutary offsets will assuredly fit them
1 fora respectable stand in society, and a belter
. | life when time closes with them. This will be
. hoped for: from the prayers and watchful cares
of interesting parents, particularly that of the
, mother whose unwearied attention and soli
. citude strove to impart to their minds those in
structions. Can this be the’ case when not re
ciprocated 7
i On the contrary the haunts and pleasure
spots of the father can only be found where
rice and dissipation delights. Oh, shame!
shame ! ! And should we not say, sinful Fa
ther 1 Aud is it for this, “Fides” charges the
affectionate females In acting out of their
! sphere,—mul recommends them to the atten
tion of their wardrobes. He may be assured
that the husband, who acts from precept and
example, may have a good hope, lie will find
in the companion of his bosom, her fond and
interesting smiles, his garments kept whole
and clean, and their children (the pride of
their hearts) interesting and cheering, and
culling forth their smiles and grutitude. But
it is feared “Fides” is one who has never ex
perienced those conjugal relations, as to enjoy
that happiness which a well ordered house ‘
must and will experience; ns no happiness on
earth, he may be assured, is like unto it. Pray
ing he may engage and participate in the same,
under such feelings, 1 will venture to say, he I
will feel more charity for those “precious and
delicate lilies.” One word more, Mr. Editi r,
I & I shall rlose. As I said before, this is my first
i essay in defence of our rights, it may be con
sidered as tho last; assuring Fides, whatever
reply he nmv make, it will not be answered;
thus should he do sd, I shall have to compare
him to the one who challenged his enemy to
combat in the field, knowing he was a coward.

The Sickness at Augusta.—The epidem
ic at Augusta, we are sorry to perceive, has
not yet abated. The deaths up to Friday,
Sept. 13th, as near ns we can comeat them by
the Reports of the Hoard of Health, amount to
ninety-seven whiles, and thirteen blacks. If
the sparceness of the population betaken into
account, the number of deaths occurring daily
now, will not fall fur short of what they have
been at any time during the prevalence of the
disease.
Love.— Love in France is a comedy ; in
England u tragedy; in Italy an opera seria;in
Germany a inelouraine.
It is stated at St. Augustine, beyond report,
says the Savannah Republican, that Gun. Tay
olh has ordered the return to Florida of the 46
Indians captured hy Lieut. Hanson, and 7 oth
ers taken by Lieut. Rodney. These Indians
will he confined in Fort Marion, St. Augustine,
we presume, until further orders. For our
selves nothing surprises us —and the bare cir
cumstance of these savages being wafted about,
as it were for their health between Carolina
and Florida, convinces us the moreofthe very
unstable position of the Government in that
section. Gen. Taylor appears to stick close *
to his quarters at Tampa, but no doubt on this 1
occasion he will visit his friends; this must ap- 1
pear strange too, when approving of the con- ’
duct of Lieut. llanson. *

Tomato Pills.—Feeling it our duty at all 1

stalks abroad in all its. varied complexions, we j
think we cannot confer a greater blessing on
mankind, than by calling attention to an ad- 1
vertisernent in another column, of Dr.Phelps’
justly celebrated Tomato Ph.i.s. From the ‘
accounts we have received of their effects in
various complaints, such as sick head-ache, ‘
dyspepsia, we feel no hesitation in recommen

The Wilmington (N. C.) Advertiser of 1

crop, which otherwise was very promising.

(SB,OOO each,) for the establishment of u cot
ton factory, on one of the most eligible situa
tions in the Southern States, for heulth and
convenience, in (lie County of Mclntosh
(Georgia,) distance from Darien four miles, (
on a bold salt Creek, landing direct from the
sound of Doboy bur, with a wide mid open
view of the sea; forming a crescent. Said j
Creek having a depth of water at a bluff lan- j
ding (where the location of said factory shall
be made,) of at least 14 feet water; —in the
rear also of which is an excellent body of pine
timber furnishing the necessary fuel for asteam
Engine. 1
In the vicinity are several saw mills, from
which can be got all the necessary materials,
in the progress of the buildings.—The site
also being land locked, offers n safe deposit for
lumber. The advantages of such an establish
ment in the neighborhood is obvious, Thclo- -
cation being a perfectly healthy summer re
treat ;-the vicinity immediate to Darien, where i
the choice and selection of cotton can be made, i
or at Macon—with the advantages beside to (
neigboring planters in giving employment to 1
young female servants who can be profitably 1
employed in preparing the raw material, and ‘
yarn for market. Investments of this nature, ]
have uniformly resulted profitably and safe in ,
the upper part of this State. The establish- i
mentin view will be the only one known on Ihe I
whole southern seaboard. The sum of $11,500 I
being taken up, any number of gentlemen wish- 1
ing toCtobark here will signify the same, toMr. ‘

Tho buildings are pleasant and commodious, and
the school is well supplied with the best maps anij
globes : nnd all that is necessary for the proper illus
tration ofthe different subjects of study,
Mr. C. S DOD, who bus been induced to re
sign the Professorship of Mathematics, at Jefferson
College (Pa.) and a isume the duticsof Principle oft lie
Institution, graduated at Princeton, (N.J.)and receiv
ed the second degree in the arts in the same insijiut ion,
He was one year an instructor in thcEdgehill .Semi

wnsalsoonc year classical tutor nl Franklin College,

The course of study and the mode of instruction

have their sons prepared to enter Franklin College the
Colleges of Ncw-Jerscy, Jefferson College, or any

Young men preparing for West Point, or for the
Profession of Civil Engineering, or for any profes

any Mathematical course that may he desired, how
ever extensive, at this school.
It is worthy of remark llial it is a common subject
of complaint with regard to most of our academic*
that the young men whom they send to enter College
higher than the Freshman class arc almost invaria
bly deficient in Mathematics.
Mr. Don, has taught French for the rant two years
to the students of Jefferoon College, and will give
instructions in that language to all ihe. pupils ofthe

~DR. PHELPS’ COMPOUND
TOMATO PILLS.
HAVING acquired on envied celebrity as nti An
ti Dyspeptic and Anti-Billiousremedy, and this
reputation being fully sustained by the high charac
ter of it3 testimonials, and the constantly increasing
demand for the medicine, it is only necessary for the
proprietor to continue the caution lo thepublic against
mistaking other preperations which arc introduced
as Tomato Medicines, for the true Tomato Pills.
As ungenerous nnd invideous allusions to litis med
icine have been published by the proprietor of a very
different preparation,called ‘Miles'Extract ofToma
to,’ evidently intended lo impair (lie confidence so
long reposed in Phelps’ Tomato Pills, it is proper
for the proprietor to request ihe public lo investigate
the source ofthese publicatioinoJicfore they are indu
ced to credit their truth nnd honesty.
An inquiry, for this purpose, ntude nt Brunswick,
Ohio,where the proprietor of‘Miles’ Extract’ resided
for a long time and commenced his ‘pill career,[ Ayitt
be sufficient to render harmless these aspersive insm
uations. Having no desire to injure ‘Miles’ Extract
I would suggest no further inquiry, nnd tun satisfied
to risk the Compound Tomato Pills upon their mer
its in competition to an'y preparation purporting to
be Tomato. While the effort lo blend other prepa
rations lo ihe true Tomato Pills are coWifftuil, per
sons w ishing tire genuine medicine should be partic
ular to notice that they bear the signature of the pro
prietor, G. It. PHELPS, M. D. but not an cngirtT
ed portrait.
