Mules operate to our entire satisfaction, producing
yarn of a superior quality, and an increased quantity
over the Hand Mules, and at a far less cost, not ex
ceeding live cents per hundred. It is now about two
years since they were put in operation, and I do not

| dr. CHRISTIE’S GALVANIC RINGS
AND
' MAGNETIC FLUID.
I REMARKABLE INVENTION,
* i which has received the almost universal appro
bation of the medical profession of Great Britain, com
prises an entirely new application of Galvanism, as a
remedial agent, by means of which the ordinary Gal
} vanic Batteries, Electric and Magnetic machines, &c.,
are entirely dispensed with, and the mysterious power
of Galvanism applied without any of the objections
1 which are inseparable from the general mode now in
use; The strong doses, and at regular intervals in
which Galvanism is applied by the machines, has
been pronounced, after a fair and impartial trial, to be
decidedly injurious, and it was to remedy this radi
! cal defect, that this new application was projected,
( which, after unceasing toil and perseverance, has been
, brought to its present state of perfection. The Gal
i vanic Rings answer all the purposes of the most ex
! pensive machines, and in many other respects are
; more safe and certain in accomplishing the desired
| effects.
Ihe Galvanic Rings used in connection with the
Magnetic Fluid, are confidently recommended in all
\ disorders which arise from an enfeebled or un
\ healthy state of the nervous or vital system, and these
complaints are among the most painful and universal
to which we are subject. They arise, without ex
ception, from one simple cause—a derangement of the
nervous system—and it was in these cases that other
“remedies” haring so often failed, anew agent was
greatly needed, which it is confidently believed, has
been found m the proper and judicious application of
Galvanism.
The Galvanic Rings have been used with entire
success in all cases of rheumatism, acute or chronic,
applying to the head, face or limbs : Gout, Tic-Dolo
reux, Toothache, Bronchitis, Vertigo, Nervous or Sick
Headache, Indigestion, Paralyses, Palsy, Epilepsy,
Fits, Cramp, Palpitation of the Heart, Apoplexy, Stiff
ness of Joints, Spinal Complaints, Lumbago, Neu
ralgia, Nervous Tremors, Dizziness of the Head,
Pains in the Chest and Side, General Debility, De
ficiency of Nervous and Physical Energy, and all Ner
vous Disorders. In cases of confirmed Dyspepsia,
which is simply a Nervous Derangement of the diges
tive organs, they have been found equally successful.
Their extraordinary effects upon the system must be
witnessed to lie believed, and as a certain preservative
for the preceding complaints they are equally recom
mended. The Kings are of different prices, being
made of all sizes, and of various ornamental patterns,
and can be worn by the most delicate female without
the slightest inconvenience. In fact, the sensation is
rather agreeable than otherwise.
Clxristie’s Magnetic Fluid,
Is used in connection with the Galvanic Rings, and
all their modifications. This composition has been pro
nounced by French chemists to be one of the most ex
traordinary discoveries of modern science. It is be
lieved to possess a remarkable power of rendering the
nerves sensitive to galvanic action, by these means
causing a circulation of (he influence at the seat of dis
ease, and thus giving rapid and permanent relief. No
other composition in chemistry is known to produce
the same effect, or to impart a similar property to the
nervous system by means of an outward local appli
cation. The Magnetic Fluid contains nothing capable
of the slightest injury, its application is agreeable, and
It is as harmless in its action as it is beneficial in its
result. Full explanations and directions accompany
it. The combined inventions are in every way per
fectly harmless; they are at prices within the reach of
all, and the discoverer only requests a fair trial, as a
test of their surprising efficacy and permanent benefit.
Tire Galvanic Belts, Bracelets, Bauds,
Garters, Necklaces &c.
In some cases of a very severe character and oflong
standing, the power as applied by the Galvanic Rings
is not sufficient to arrest the progress of disease and
ultimately to restore health. The improved modifica -
tion in the Galvanic Belts, Bracelets, &c., entirely
remedies this objection ; any degree of power that is
required can readily be obtained, and no complaint
which the mysterious agent of Galvanism can affect,
will fail to be permanently relieved. These articles
are adapted to the waist, arms, wrists, limbs, ancles,
or any part of the body, with perfect convenience.
The Galvanic necklaces are used with great, benefit in
cases of Bronchitis or Affections of the Throat gen
erally; also in cases of Nervous Deafness; and with
almost uniform success as a preventive for Ajmplexy,
Epileptic Fits, and similar complaints.
Christie’s Galvanic Strengthening Plas
ters.
These articles form another valuable application of
the mysterious influence of Galvanism, They are an
important adjunct to the genuine Galvanic Rings, and
their modifications, acting upon the same principle, but
having the advantage of more local application. They
are confidently recommended as a valuable addition
in the speedy cure of Rheumatism, acute or chronic ;
in all nervous complaints, and as a positive remedy in
case of Pain and Weakness in the Chest or Back, Pain
in the Side, in Asthmatic Affections, and in Weakness
or Oppressions of the Pulmonary Organs, In Spinal
Complaints their effects are of the most decided cha
racter, and they have often been used with complete
success. They are also of the greatest advantage in
Pains and Weakness of the Breast, and are highly re
commended for many of those complaints to which fe
males are especially liable. As an effectual means for
strengthening the system when debilitated with dis
ease or other causes; as a certain aid in Constitution
al Weakness, as a preventive for colds and in all affec
tions of the Chest generally, the Galvanic Strengthen
ing Plaster will be found of great and permanent ad
vantage. In a few words, it embraces all the advan
ages of the best tonic preparation, with the important
addition of the Galvanic influence, which is neither
impaired or exhausted, while the action continues.
These articles will be found entirely free from those ob
jections which are a constant source of complaint with
the ordinary plasters in common use.
The great celebrity and success of these ar
ticles has caused them to be counterfeited by unprinci
pled persons. To provide against imposition, Dr.
Christie has but one authorized agent in each city of
the Union. The only authorized Agency in Augusta,
Ga., is at the store of
HAVILAND. RISLEY & CO.,
Druggists, &,c., &c.
All articles of the kind, sold elsewhere, are worth
less counterfeits. 529
DR. LEROY’S
VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL
PILLS.
The only known Medicine that at the
same time Purges, Purifies and Strengthens
the System.
DR. LeROY’S PILLS are a new medicine
which has just appeared, and is fast taking the
places of all others of the same class. These pills are
composed of many ingredients, but the two principal
are Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry, so united as to act
together; the one, through its admixture with other
i substances, purifying and purging, while the other is
s strengthening the system. Thus these pills are at the
I same time tonic and opening; a desideratum long and
eagerly sought for by medical men but never before
discovered. In other words, they do the work of two
medicines, and do it much better than any two we
know of, for they remove nothing from the system but
the impurities, so that while they purge they strength
[ en; and hence they cause no debilitation, and are fol
-3 lowed by no reaction.
Dr. Leßoy s Pills have a wonderful influence on
the blood; they not only purify, without weakening
3 it, but they remove all noxious particles from the
chyle before it is converted into fluid, and thus make
impure blood an utter impossibility. As there is no
debilitation, so ther£is no nausea or sickness attend
ing the operations of this most excellent of medicines,
? which never strains or tortures the digestive functions
but causes them to work in a perfectly natural man
ner, and hence persons taking them do not become
> pale and emaciated, but the contrary, for while it is
i the property of the Sarsaparilla, united as it is with
other ingredients, to remove all that is foreign and
impure, it is equally the property of the Wild Cherry
to retain all that is natural and sound ; and hence a
■ robust state of health is the certain result of their
united operations.

celebrated Sir James Clark, promises fair to, in a great
measure, exclude the necessity of the lancet, for they
prevent too much fullness of blood, by forcing from
the chyle all impure matter, which would otherwise
be converted into fluid, and taint all the rest; and the
blood which is formed under their influence must,
from the nature of their principal component parts, be
pure and healthy. In my private practice 1 have ex
cluded nearly every other cathartic in their favor;
and the more I use them, the more my confldence in
their virtues is confirmed. They unite extremes
which were heretofore considered paradoxical by the
faculty ; that is, they are a strengthening purgative
and a purifying tonic ; hence they may at all times
be administered without hazard, no matter how weak
or debilitated the patient may be—insomuch as their
conservative properties are precisely in the ratio of
their purgative effects—so that while they evacuate
the bowels in the most thorough manner, they also
trengthen and tone them.
From the Morning Chronicle, Dec. 11, 1845.
One might think that people had discovered the
Elixir of life and were to die no more from the hub
bub they are making about the new medicine —Dr.
Le Roy’s Pills—the virtues of which all men are ex
tolling to their neighbors. We have taken pains to as
certain the truth of the matter and are able to say up- '
on sound authority that Dr. Leroy’s Vegetable Univer
sal Pillsare deserving of all that can be said in their
favor and combine opposite and admirable qualities
never before united in a medicine ; those of purgatives
and tonics. The pills of Dr. Leroy have caused al
most as great a commotion among the public as the
writingsof Boz ; and will probably render their dis
coverer equally immortal.
From the Medical Times, Sept. 18, 1845.
Opposed as we are to modern patent medicines we
cannot be silent to the virtues of Dr. Le Roy’s much
lauded discovery. His pills are indeed a purgative
which may be taken without a risk or the advice of a
physician ; for they produce evacuation without weak
ness, and cause energy in the digestive functions with
out straining them and thus paving the way for reac
tion and apathy.

EPPING’S
COMPOUND FLUID EXTRACT OF
SARSAPARILLA.
AND QUEEN’S DELIGHT, &C.
FOB, purifying the blood, and removing all
diseases asising from the impurity of the same,
and is especially recommended for the cure of Rheu
matism, Scrofula, Erysipelas, Ulcerations of the Throat
and legs, Pains and Swellings of the Bones, Tetters,
Pimples in the Pace, Old Sores, and all Cutaneous
Eruptions, Neuralgic Affections, Mercurial Diseases,
and lor assisting the operation and preventing fatal
consequences of Mercurials in Syphilis.
This preparation (by adding the Uueen’s Delight,
&c., to the Sarsaparilla,) combines in a more perfect
degree than any known remedy, tonic and alterative
powers, and is highly recommended by eminent Phy
sicians. It is prepared in consequence of the recom
mendations given by Dr. H. R. Frost, Professor of
Materia Medica in the Medical College of Charleston,
S. C., in his work on Materia Medica, only concen
trated by a process of the subscriber’s to render itmore
convenient for administration, and with the exception
of the addition of mercury which may at all times be
added when necessary. To show the high estimation
which Dr. F. entertains of the combination of these
articles, it is only necessary to refer to the above men
tioned work.
There are few cases of chronic and painful Rheuma
tism that will not yield to the influence of SarsapariJ'a
and Queen’s Delight, if duly persevered in, especial
ly if taken in conjunction with Hydr. of Potash.
It is highly recommended for all diseases of the
skin, chronic as well as recent. One bottle will, in
most instances, effectually remove all pimples, pes
tules, or blotches on the face, to which young persons
in this climate are so much subject, arising either
f-om impurity of the blood or debility. It is the best
remedy known for scrofulous affections, sores and
breakings out in young children, and is safe and effi
cacious in removing entirely every trace ol hereditary
disease from the system, in the tenderest infant; in
fact, in all cutaneous affections it is invaluable. As a
general purifier of the blood, and an eradicator of all
obstinate diseases, this preparation will undoubtedly
take the precedence of all other remedies. It gently
operates upon and regulates the bowels, restores to the
blood its wonted purity, gives tone to thestomacn and
promotes digestion.
It will elfectually relieve Erysipelas even in its
worst stages, and all persons suffering from this dis
tressing complaint are advised to use it, first so, but
if no marked relief be found after taking one bottle, it
will be necessary to use the Hydriodated Tatash with it.
Not wishing to publish certificates, as is done in the
case of all quack medicines of the day, v ,o effect their
sale, and so force them upon the public, the subscriber
begs leave to state that this preparation has been pre
cribed and used by a number of Physicians and Plan
ers of Charleston and neighborhood, with great sue
cess, viz: Dr. H. R, Frost; Dr. W. G. Ramsay;
Dr. Thos. Y. Simons; Dr. C. Pritchard; Mr S.
Legare; Lieut. Wilson, U. S. R. S., all of Charles
ton ; Dr. James Stoney, Beaufort, &c.

properties of the Queen’s Delight, Physicians are re

CHRONICLE & SENTINEL.
POETRY AND MISCELLANY.
The Patriot Dead*
“ The following lines are from Percival’s Classic
, Melodies. They are in the Anapestic measure, after
the manner of Tyrtaeus, appropriate to the patriotic ele
gy, and are found in a volume of his poems published
: in 1843. The author is regarded by many of our
best scholars as having been more successful than
any American writer, Hving or dead, in his imitations
* of the ancient classics. At this time (remarks the
Philadelphia American & Gazette,) these lines poe
> sess a peculiar interest, fmm their appositeness to the
r obsequies in honor of the remains of Ringgold, Clay,
, Lincoln and the many brave youths reclaimed by
mourning friends from hostile lands, to give them a
last resting place in their natal soil. But for the fact
that the poet meant to commemorate those who fell in
the deferxe of their own homes, these verses would
seem to have been prepared expressly for the melan
choly occasion referred to.”
In the silence of night, and in solemn array, by the
glimmer of torches is wheeling
Majestic, the funeral train, on its way, and its music
is plaintively stealing—
Is plaintively stealing, in echoes alar, awaking emo
tions of sorrow;
It mourns, how the youth march to-dav to the war,
but return to us never to-morrow.
Spear and buckler secured, slow' the army moves on,
its standards and banners low trailing;
Not a shout now is heard for the victory won ; aM is
hushed, but the flute softly wailing.
Light and still glide their steps, and in unison all at
tuned to their solemn emotion;
One faint hollow murmur is heard at each fall like
the far-echoed roar ol the ocean.
Home, in urns, they are bearing the dust of the dead
dark veils o*6r each urn low depending—
How sacred the relics of those who bled for
hearth and for altar contending.
Not a trophy they rear, till they lay in the tomb the
ashes that sleep there in glory—
Till their paeans are sung; and the words that illume
transmit their proud record to story.
So on through the streets of the city they move, and
the old and the young there attend them ;
They meet them with the greetings of sorrow and
love— fondly welcome the bra ve who defend them:
And they wept from their hearts, as each urn passed
by, a child or a parent enclosing:
As he left them, his patriot bosom beat high; now in
death he is darkly reposing.
A TRUE WOMAN.
“ She has in her
All the contempt of glory, and vain seeming,
Os all the stoics; all the truth of Christians,
And all their constancy. Modesty was made,
When she was first intended. When she blushes
It is the holiest thing to look upon ;
The purest temple of her sect that ever
Made Nature a bless’d founder.”
[Beaumont and Fletcher.
From Dolman’s Magazine.
THE EMPRESS JOSEPHINE.
CONCLUDED.
Lpon the expedition to Germany, in the
course of which he first beheld the Archduchess
Maria Louisa, Josephine accompanied her hus
band for the last time, little dreaming that her
long enduring constancy and devotion were be
fore long to be requited by his desertion. Up
on these campaign travels, she was wont to
exhibit all her natural goodness and considera
tion for others in the most attractive colors. So
rapid and uncertain were the Emperor’s move
ments and so peremptory his injunctions as
to the places at which he intended to halt,
that for the reception of Josephine and her
suite, due preparation wasfrequently impossi*
ble. No complaint, however, escaped her bps,
and she was the first to express herself satisfied!
She was always much more solicitous for the
accommodation ofher attendants than her own,
visiting their apartments herself and issuing
personal directions for their comfort. One
night as she was about to retire to res., she ob
served that her wailing-woman had only a mat
trass on the floor to lie upon, and with her own
hands took from the bed destined for herself an
other to supply the deficiency. If any of her
women were sick, their mistress was quickly at
their side, and from her own table she sup
plied with provisions and delicacies those who
in the course of a journey were compelled to
remain in the carriages from want of any other
accommodations.
Secret misgivings and even dreams seem to
have foreshawdowed in the mind of Josephine
the unjust determination which Napoleon had
formed to repudiate the beloved wife of his
youth. The announcement ofhis intention to
do so, was made to her one day after their usu
al te.e-a-tete dinner, and so fearful were the
consequences of the fatal intimation, that the
Empress fainted and remained three hours in
a state of insensibility. Napoleon was, however,
not a man to be moved from his purpose by
the weakness and sorrow of an injured woman,
and in the pertinacity with which he followed
out his grand scheme of divorce, seems to have
emulated the headstrong determination of Hen
ry the Eighth in his repudiation of Queen Cath
arine. Cardinal Fesch opposed his nephew’s
design. ‘ People,” said the prelate “have
grown accustomed to confound your fate and
that of the Empresstogelher. Vou will
be accused of ingratitude. Profound po
liticians already foresee more than one catas
trophe in store for you, ifyou exhibit to aston
ished France the irreligious and immoral spec
tacle of a scandalous divorce. Should you push
matters to such extremity, the event will not
only condemn you before the tribunal of God,
but also in the estimation of men. Then, Na
poleon, all illusion will be at an end. and you
will find the magical power that once kept
your subjects in such awe, fast coming to an
end. A day will arrive, perhaps a not far dis
tant one, when yoursceptre mav fall to pieces
within your grasp by the general will.
Various alliances were proposed to the em
peror ; but the suggestion of an Austrian prin
cess made by Marshall Perthier, best harmon
ized with his inclinations, and although Fouche
endeavored to dissuade him from if, proposals
were forwarded to Vienna for the hand of Ma
ria Louisa, and accepted because, perhaps, it
had been considered impolitic or dangerous to
refuse them. Interviews which ensued be
tween Napoleon and Josephine, while the new
matrimonial negotiations were pending, are de
scribed to have been of the most painful and
touching character. Idolising her husband,
and naturally reluctant to be deprived of a sta
tion which she had always graced, and done
nothing to forfeit, it was not without the most
trying struggles of wounded pride that she at
length resigned herself to the magnanimous
self-sacrifice. When the Arch-Chancellor Cam
baceres, by command of the Emperor, defini
tively announced to her the divorce, Jose
phine summoned courage to reply, “If it has not
been in my power to contribute to the happi
ness of Franee, I hope some other woman may
be more fortunate.”
Upon the day that the act of divorce receiv
ed the signatures of the parties, Napoleon, af
ter aflixing his name to the instrument, took
Josephine’s arm, and, with hasty strides, walk
ed for a coasidetable time up and down the
room with her. At length breaking silence,
he exclaimed, ‘What a fine subject this will
make for a tragedy !” “Os which who is to be
