Thundering Spring.
THE proprietors ofthis natural curiosity, respect
fully inform their friends and the travelling public
generally, that they are prepared to accommodate all
who may favor them with u call. The very short
period wliicn has intervened since their purchase,
added to a scarcity of materials, lias rendert and il dif
ficult to improve as extensively us tpry desired; yet
th-y know thrms-lves willing to devote their undivi
ded attention to promote the comfort and convenience
of visitors and travelers.
The water combines high medicinal qualities, eon
laining strong impregnations of Saltpetr -, Magnesia,
Scs , ascertained from a partial analysis. We deem
it unnecessary to append to this nonce, a list of cer
tificatesrelative tocureseffected by using the water,
as the doubts ofllte sceptical would not be removed,
and those who would [relieve, may credit the asser
tion, as such can be proved at any time. Several
cases of violent Rheumatism have been entirely re--
lieved; also Tetter, Scaldhd, running Ulcers, Stc.
Ind viduals laboring und -r Dyspepsia, will expe.
rience great relief from the use of tnc water. It is
known to be highly efficacious in relieving all cutune
ous diseases.
It is due to ourselves, and for the information of
the public at large, to state at leaf t some ofthe mineral
propert-es ofthe water ; and alto the nature of some
of the diseases which have been cured at this place.
We areuware ofthe prejudices generally engendered
by vaunting advertisements of like character.
The location of the spring in Upson county , is in
a healthy region nearly surrounded by large hills on
thenorth sid-of the Pine Mountain. A considera
ble quantity of game abounds in the woods adjacent,
for the delight of sportsmen; and Flint R ver is suffi
ciently contisruous to afford amusement tothe angler.
Families desiring it, can find ample seclusion from
dusty streets and miasmatic regions of the lower
counties, at the Thundering Spring/ where no pains
will lie spared on the part of the proprietors, to rend
er their visit agreeable.
Gaming and other irregularities will be prohibited.

• For the information of those who are unacquain

that the great similarity between the noise occasion

suggested the name.

THE CAUSE or BILIOUS COMPLAINT’S
AND A MODE OF CURE.—A well regu
luird uiul proportionate quantity of bile upon toe
itoinuch is always requisite for the promotion of
•ound In aim—it HUinuiatee digestion, and keei s the
intestinal canal free fiom n'l obstructions. On the
interior surface ofthe liver is a peculiar bladder, in
wiiiciithe bile is lust preserved, being formed oy the
liver from the blood. T.-nceil pusses into toe stom
ach and intcstine.t, and regulates the indication.
Thus we see when there is a deficiency of bib', the
body is constantly costive. On the other hand, an
overabundance of bile, causes frequent nausea in the
stomach ; and often promotes very severe attacks of
disease, which sometimes end in a uth.
Fevers always procede by syuitoins of a disor
dered stomuc.ii; as are also scrofulous disord rs,
and all symimUietical functional, organic or febrile
diseases. From tne same cause, the natural and
It altliy action ofthe heart, and the whole vascular
system is inquired and reduet and below its natural stan
dard ; as exhibited in palpitations, languid pulse,
torpors ofthe limbs, syncope, and even aeathiisclf,
in consequence of an overabundance of a peculiar of
f* nsive substance to the digestive organs.
The approach of bilious diseases is at all times
attended by decided symptoms of an existing disea
sed stute ofthe s>omach und bowels; i. e. with those
signs which are known to point out their contents
lobe of a morbid irritating nature; but whenever
the alimentary canal happens to be loaded with irri
ta ing matter, some derangement ofthe healthy ope
ration, • ither of the general system, or * f some partic
ular of the body is the certain result j mid
when this state happens to lie united with any nt not
symptoms of dis -ase its effects are always thereby
much aggra\ at and. The progress of organic obstruc
tion is often so rapid as scarely to admit of time for
the application of such aid ns is to be offered by art,
vet, in general, the premonitory symptoms of gastric
load are perceptible for u day or two previous to the
feverishparotism,nperiod, w henthemost effic cious
assistance may be given, by unloading the stomach
and alimentary canal of its irritating contents, and
thus i-ducing the susceptibility of disease.
MOFFAT’S LIFE .MEDICINE’S, should always
be taken in the early stages of billious ci in; hunts;
and if p**rsever* and in strictly according to the direc
tions, will positively effect a cur\
The mineral medicines of. • n prescribed in these dis
eases, although th-y may effect a temporary cure, at
the same time create an unhealthy slate o’ the bloc and,
and coliseum ntly tend to promote a return ofthe very
disease winch they are employed to cure. It is then
by the use of purgative!, exclusively formed of vege
table compounds, which, within them
selves no deleterious agencies, which and composition,
combination or alteration can de.velope or bring inio
action; and therefore capable of producing no effect,
saveihut which is d■•sired——that a safe remedy is
found.
The LIFE PILLS and PHENIX BITTERS
hnveproveil to le the most happy in their effects in
cases of biliims diseases, of any purely vegetable
preparation ever offer, and to the public. If the stomach j
is foul, they cleanse it by exciting it to throw of its
contents; itnot.they pass to the duodenum without !
exciting vomiting or nausea in the stomach; stimulat
ing the neighboring vicein, as the liver anil puncrus,
so as to produce a more copious flow oft heir secretions
into the intestines; stimulating theexhnlenf capillar

Fever mid Agnr Positively
C'iii eel.
Soever mill Axaoisnmostobslinate disHisP,
JF and in warm and humid climate*, frequently re
sists every ordiniary mode of cure, so as to become
very distressing to the patient; and by the extreme
debility which the disease induces, it often gives rise
to other chronic contplnints. Marsh niiusmnia, or
the effluvia arising from stagnant water, is the most
fr quentexciting cause of this disease; and one of
its great peculiarities is its susceptibility of a renew
al front very slight causes, such us from the preva
lence of un easterly wind —even without the repeti
tion of the original exciting cause. In this, Fever
and Ague differs front most other fevers; as it is well
known,thut after nn ordinary fever has once occur
red and been removed, the person affected is not so
liable to a fresh attack as one who was not so affect
ed. These circumstances render it extremely diffleult
to effect a germane nt cure of Fevernnd Ague, though
to reticle the patient for the time being is a very easy
task.
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX
BITTERS have been thoroughly tested, and
proved to be a POSITIVE AND RADICAL Cure
of Fever and Ague. Hundreds of bis fellow-citi
zens in the W'-sl, have voluntarily come ft rward to
assure Mr. MOFFAT that the LIFE ME ’ICINS
are the only medicines that will THORUGMLY ef
fect a removal of this most tedious and disagreeable
disease.
Others w ho have emigrated to that rich and prom
ising portion ofour country—men who went out full
of hope, and confid ntof winning acnmpetence from
the luxuriance of the soil; or who carried to the out
posts of our settlements lite mercantile or meclianicle
experience won in the crowded cities and towns of
the older states, have either returned with shattered
constitutions and depressed spirits, or they remain
in their new homes, dragging out a weary life ; at
last to sink under some disease to which they are
prcdispos-d by that terror of the West, the FEVER
AND AGUE. Their hopes are blasted—their busi
ness energies destroyed —th.-ir El Dorado becomes a
desert, and the word of promise, made to the ear, is
broken to the hope.
To these Individuals, Mr. Moffat would say—
“ Try tne LIFE MEDICINES, and youwi I yet an
ticii ate your most sanguine expectations, for they
will certainly restore you to health.”
FEVER AND AGUE is a complaint which re
quires to He met at its first approach, and combatted
at every stage. Sldotn fatal of itself, it reduces the
strength, and impares the functions of the organs, so
that upon the manifestation of disease Nature is un
able, unasststed, to resist the inroade. The Life
Medicines, when taken strictly according to direc
tions will cure it, and give to the weak and tremh
ling victim ofdisease, new health, life, nd strength.
For full particulars of the mode of treatment, the
reader is ref-rred tothe Good Samaritan, a copy of
which accompanies the medicine. A copy may he

cine for sale.

Except as now 1 see,
In musing* of the midnight hour,
While fancy revels free!
I’ll never hear thy welcoming
Nor clasp thy thrilling hand,
Nor virw thy home, if e'er again
1 hail our common land.
I have thee full before m
Thy mild, Inn mournful eye,
And b’ow ns far as the cod moon
That hears thy S ‘cret sigh.
There are roses in thy window,
As when I Inst was there ;
But where hath fl'd the matchless one
Thy young cheek used to wear!
Though parted, maid—long parted,
And not to meel again—
One star hath ruled the fate of both,
A misruled our hearts with pain ;
And though before the altar
I may not call litre bride,
Accept a loken ofthe bond
By wiiic i wp fti'e Allied.
j I*v* found for tin l ** an
Os What hath fallen on r e—
i A leafless branch that lately crowned
A tree ;
Torn from the pleasant stem it loved,
The severing; gear alone
Remains to shew that e’er it grew
Where it for years had grown.
For pledges of affection
I'll give thee sud- and flowers,
And thou shalt send me withered leaves
From Autumn’s nak*d l>owers ;
The tears of untold bitterness
I’ll drink instead of wine,
Carousing.to thy broken peace—*
Do thou as much for mine !
WVne'r a passing funeral
Presents it a dark array,
For thee, ny maid *n desolate !
I will not fail to pray.
B n ath the quiet coffin-lid
‘Twere better far toslep,
Than live to nurse the scorpion Care
Within thy bosom deep.
The midnight wind is grieving—
It's melancholy swell
Doth make it mete to hear to thee
Thy lover’s last farewell ;
Far well,pah-child of hopelessness!
‘Tis something still to knftw,
That he who cannot claim thy heart,
Partakes of all its woe.
ALFRED.

Capture by Bandits.
Wc hud not proceeded more than hour,
when vvesiopi-ed to drink at a fountain, before
engaging m me passes which are termed the
Gules, x.eie the guards 1 lmd got at Ozeros
let! me, saving they hud orders to turn back,
as we were now aunost in sight oi'the Kouiia,
u post that guards the entrance of the isthmus;
unit they hud shown such symptom* of cow
ardice, that 1 was glad lo be rid of them. - As
we sal on our horses, drinking ut the fountains
we luughcd heartily ut the haste of their re
treat ; my Greek servant liadji, who wore iny
arms and looked more like u Cavash than a
Uuyah, pointed at them with disdain, and ask
ed contemptuously, if such men were worthy
of liberty, inspired by the words, lie began to
smg Riga’s song ; our protecting geums mspi
ibu the tones, n.r they arrested the triggers of
levelled gunsund marked and singled as out at
{ the very moment, and we continued our jotif-
I ney without a suspicion ol the fate we bud so
’ narrowly escaped. We hud left the fountain
i about fifteen minutes, and 1 was fiflv pace, a
i head, w inding around the side of a sleep aud
! wooded hill, in a narrow path, which jutted
over a deep deli on Ihe left, and had a bank anil;
depending trees overhanging it on the right,
when 1 was arrested by a loud shriek, foliow
;ed by sounds that boiled no good. 1 saw thro’
I the trees the crowding of men, white fustanell*
land arms— caught at last by the Klephts !
• Whether or not escape was practicable, it did
’ not enter into my mind lo inquire ; resistance
wasnutol the question ; but, iu the confidence
which extensi.e practice among them had giv
en me, I felt only incensed ut the outrage, and
leckoned on instant submission ; 1, therefore,
turned und galloped toward them. I wascer
tainly led into another train of rellection, when
I saw a couple turn at me, holding thoir mus
kets levelled ; I held up my hands, unarmed,
but they made a ru.di on Itoili siflcs, vocifera
ting impiecaiions a id disiorting their facet
into the most hideous and exasperating gri
maces: at the moment, I saw only (wo besides.
Considering the slake, the game seemed wo th
a throw ; blit Ihe priming, six months old, of
weapons I nevcrexpecieu to have to use, suc
cessively refused their service, and I was struck
senless to the ground. The next thing I re
collect, was a blow on the back, us 1 was rawed
on *".y knees, which is generally preparatory
tothe act of decollation. How I escaped this,
I had not sufficiently recovered my sences to
know ; but 1 well recollect an object which a
■ roused me, though it may appear comparative
ly trifling ; this was a ball of strong twine,
which one ofthem was measuring out hastily,
with his extended arm. Recovering, at this
sight, my senses ami my limbs, and finding
myself loose, I leaped up, and stood prepared
with a stout stick to do what might be practica
ble, to prevent myself from being bound. My
companions in misfortune where on their
knees, calling out “Amaun! Amaun !” and
with streaming eyes held up their joined hands
to h*ve them bound. Tbe bandits had no wish
to be pUshel to extremities in the vicinity of
the guard-house, and with the guards that had
left me at no very great distance ; so they lis
tened to me, and left me alone. Tlye others
were quickly bound in silence ; op 6 °f Ihe
party, the only very ferocious one of the set,
turned to me with the cord ; I offered him my
breast to strike j fils yalagan was in an instant
bare ; when a youth, of slender and even ele
gant air and appearance, and who had been
looking at me, pushed him back. The others
I then approached, and told me to go quietly)
I and that I should not be bound. I (old them
! (this seemed to ine the only way to produce
an effect,) that I was perfectly resolved not to
move a step, unless, n<S only relieved from all
insult, but treated with .respect: “nor will I
stir, from this spot,’’ 1 continued, “unless that
man'’ (pointing to one who seemed the chief,)
VOL. 1. NO. 38.
i “whose countenance I will trust, gives me hit
word that the wretch who has insulted mo
shall not be allowed to approach me while I
remained unarmed.” Not only was the prom
ise given, hut my mule wa* brought to me ;
und 1 even insisted that my harmless pistol;
should be replaced in the holsters. We now
plunged into the depths of the wood ; 1 had,
tlteicfore, immediately again to dismount;
j but the point was gained, and, after about un
hour’s most futiguing run, arrived at an elevs
ted spot, whence we could command a view
ofthe sea on either side, as well as of every ac
cess to the isthmus.
It wus now moat essential for metoimprove
rapidly the poailion I had established among
them, and on my way I had anxiously con9id
eied how that was to be done. What I had
more particularly )o fear was, that having sei
zed an Englishman, they would dread pursuit
by the English cruizcrsthat were in those seas,
which the Turks would put off their retreat by
land ; they, might, therefore, seek to retard
pursuit and prevent detection, by despatching
me there, and effacing every trace of tne party.
My, plait, therefore, was first to conciliate their
respent to myself; and secondly, to convince
them that I sympathised with them in their
wrongs, and that Europeans were inclined to
use their best endeavours to relieve them from
oppression. But amongst them was the sav
age Albanian, who was evidently intent on my
destruction, and who had twice so nearly ef
fected it, und with whom these considerations
would be of no avail. I, therefore, deferij.iiu
ed upon keeping no terms with him; which,
indeed, offered me two advantages, that oi
keeping up the character I had assumed, and
the chance of effecting a division amongst them
and conciliating the Greeks by abuse of Alba
nians. On arriving at the spot where wc were
to halt I directed that my servant should be
unbound, that he might unlode the baggage and
spread my carpet. After a moment’s hesitation
without any remark, this was done. I torit
the opportunity of reproaching him for hi)
dastardly conduct; I might, I said, have over
looked his not using bis arms in my absence
and against Greeks, but that his imploring for
his life made him so despicable in my eyes, that
from that hour I should no longer consider him
my servant. He was, at the moment, filling
my pipe; I snatched it from him, and, luring to
the young man who had before saved tnc, I
told him that he should fill it, for I was sure
he never would disgrace the arms he wore, or
the master he served. It was caught with &•
lacrity, and more than one Jaekomaki (flint
and steel) was pulled out to strike a light. En )r
boldeneJ by this first success, which was most
critical, I found immediately a number of littlo
wants, which, one after another, employed
them all in serving me; while poor Hadji, who
in his terror, first for the Klephti, and next in
his amazement at me, had stood rooted to the
spot vvhere I took the pipe from him, kept
whispering instructions and directions to the.
Paliears, as to how I ought to be served: so
that had he been up to his part, he could no)
have played it more dexterously.
The Klephts were only six; they had been
ten at the fountain, where they first intended
attacking us, upon seeing us part company
from the four guards. The captain and (hree
men hud followed these, to despatch them, if
their eonipanions, within their hearing, hau
to make use of their fire-arms. We were four
—u guide, a muleteer, (both unarmed,) my
servant, and I.
When I was comfortably arranged on mv
carpet, with coffee and pipe, I seized the mo*
nveiit, before the Paliears sat down, to tell them
to be seated. The Albanian, all this tijpe, look
ing on with no less surprise than dissatisfac*
lion, at length come forward and said, “This
is all nonsense, we are robbers, and you are
prey ; your coffee is ours, your money is ours,
ami your blood is ours :
I am sultan here; I am King of England here;
and you pieteiid to treat us as if you were n
Pasha !” I vouchsafed him neither regard nor
answer ; hut, ‘urning tothe Greek”, J exclaim
edwith great w armth, for I ajn sure I felt it,
; “What is there in that Hellenic blood,'that
distinguishes its race from the barbarians that
defile its soil 1” A movement was made, to
repress the violence of the Skiptlar. He calc
, led them fools, and was called in return a bruin
i by my young friend ; a schism was establish
; ed. The only one I could however vet reckon
I on my side was the youngest, and leutA influr
ential; but even this, what an acquisition i
such circumstance ! The otheta were inclin
ed, I thought, in my favour ; but .the Albanian
kept constantly handling his weapons, an.s
looking at me, as if he wanted neither the con*
[ sent nor ihe-assistance of his comrades. The
1 absent party, and the captain, if I could hold
out till their return, would of course turn the
scale. They now left me with two, while the
others went to consult; and these two were
again relieved by others. Hadji wap palled
and re-called, and examined and cr.oss exam
ined. The point they seemed most anxious to
ascertain was my being an Englishman ; had
I turned out a German, a Frenchman, or a
Russian, my sale would have been instantly
scaled. The baggage was visited, all the bet
ter parts of the habiliments pf my jttjcpdjnt
were gradually abstracted ; jnd I tvas reques
ted, but respectfully, to deliver up what 1 had
in my pockets, excusing themselves by saying
Qojhingless would satisfy the Albanian. Dur
ing ibis time I was not unemployed, lading out
the history of each, the cause of tns being driv
en to the woods; and I found each most anx
ious by himself to impress upon me the belief
that wrong had reduced them to so
an alternative; and that how, but for tfie oth
ers, he would be glad to xec me released.
This gave me an opportunity pf sympathising
with each- I U><>k an opportunity, during these
hours of mortal suspense, to in’.arrogate tbp
lad who had proved my friend. He was a na
tive. he said, of free Greece, and had come tp
Athcto because betrothed there to a maid, who
had attracted the eye ofthe Aga of Cassandra.
He had related to me the persecution (hat had
driven hitn tothe woods ; wnen 1 supplied the
name pf bis Aglae, bis amazement knew no
bounds. I had now my story to tell him; and
in five minutes we were sworn brothers. Va
sili now set about the work of my liberation it?
eat nest j and declared that lie was ready to
risk his life to save mine
He scon returned from the select committee
held at a Ijttle distance, to tell me that the pre
vailing opinion was, that I should be released,
on paying SO,QQO piastre?. “Rut where, Vasili”
said f, ‘‘am Ito find 30,000 aspres?” “Oh !”
he replied, “they well know a paper with your
pea) is $s food as gold.” “And will they re
lease me on giving them such a paper V’ “That
will depend on the captain.”
The sabjeet was then discussed by the whole
assembly; and it was settled, under the condi
tion of the captain’s approval, that 1 should
send Hadji for ICLOOO piastres to Saloniea. ar._
