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. Good order will he strictly enforced.

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.

Aug. 20. 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 obtained of the different agents who have the medi cine for sale. French, O'Titian, and Spanish dirotnns can be obtained on application at tne office, 375 Broadway.

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._
