It is now about two years since they were put in operation, and I do not know that they have ever been detained for half an hour for repairs. In haste, yours truly, &c., \. G. Wash bon, Agent.

CHRISTIE’S GALVANIC RINGS AND MAGNETIC FLUID. rjIHIS REMARKABLE INVENTION, JL 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 i 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 w hich 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 stale of perfection. The Gal 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. The 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” having 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, Pits, Cramp, Palpitation of the Heart, Apoplexy, Still ness of Joints, Spinal Complaints, Lumbago, Neu ralgia, Nervous Tremors, Dizziness of the Head, | Pains in the Chest and Side, General Debility, De j ficiency of Nervous and Physical Energy, and all Ner- I vous Disorders. In cases of confirmed Dyspepsia, I 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 be believed, and as a certain preservative for the preceding complaints they are equally recom mended. The Rings are of different prices, being made of all sizes, and of various ornamental patterns, andean be worn by the most delicate female without ■ the slightest inconvenience. In fact, the sensation is rather agreeable than otherwise. Christie’s Magnetic Fluid, Is used in connection with the Galvanic Rings, and j all their modifications. This composition has been pro -1 nounced by F rench chemists to be one of the most ex -1 traordinary discoveries of modern science. It is be ! lieved to possess a remarkable power of rendering the i nerves sensitive to galvanic action, by these means 1 causing a circulation of the 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 ft is as harmless in its action as it is beneficial in its { result. Full explanations and directions accompany j 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. Tlie Galvanic Belts, Bracelets, Bands, Garters, Necklaces &c. In some cases of a very severe character and of long 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 wilh 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 Aj>oplexy, Epileptic Fits, and similar complaints. CKristie’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 founn 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. f-jP 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 Uidon. The only authorized Agency in Augusta, Ga., is at the store of HAVILAND. 111SLEY & CO., Druggists, &c., &c. All articles of the kind, sold elsewhere, are w orth less counterfeits. DR. LE ROY’S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS. The only known Medicine that at the same time Purges, Purijies and Strengthens j the System. DR. LeROY’S PILLS are a new medicine which has just appeared, and is fast taking the j places of all others of the same class. These pills are j composed of many ingredients, but the two principal j are Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry, so united as to act together; the one, through its admixture with other substances, purifying and purging, while the other is strengthening the system. Thus these pills are at the 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 lowed by no reaction. Dr. Leßoy’s Pills have a wonderful influence on thebiood; they not only purify, without weakening 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 there 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 the property of the Sarsaparilla, united as it is with other ingredients, to remove all that is foreign and I 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 ot their united operations.

In my private practice I have ex cluded nearly every other cathartic in their favor; and the more I use them, the more ray confidence in their virtues is confirmed. They unite extremes which were heretofore con&idered 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 I 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 Pdlsare 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 writings of 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 I 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- I don and apathy.

FOR purifying the blood, and removing all diseases asising from the impurity of the same, and is especially recommended fur the cure of Rheu matism, Scrofula, Erysipelas, Ulcerations of the Throat and legs, Pains and Swellings of the Bones, Tetters, Pimples in the Face, Old Sores, and all Cutaneous Eruptions, Neuralgic Affections, Mercurial Diseases, and for assisting the operation and preventing fatal consequences of Mercurials in Syphilis. This preparation (by adding the Queen's Delight, &c.j to the Sarsaparilla,) combines in a more perfect decree 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 it more convenient for administration, and with the exception of the addition of mercury which may at all times be added w hen 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 Sarsaparif 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 off 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 from impurity of the blood or debility. It is the best remedy known for scrofulous affections, sores and breakimrs out in young children, and is safe and effi cacious in removing entirely every trace of hereditary disease from the system, in the tendcrest 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 the stomacn and promotes digestion. It will effectually 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 Potash with it. Not wishing to publish certificates, as is done in the | case of all quack medicines of the day, to effect their sale, and so force them upon the public, the subscriber I 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 l cess, viz: Dr. H. R. Frost; Dr. W. G. Ramsay; Dr. Thos. Y. Simons; Dr. C. Pritchard; Mr. S. Legare; Lieut. NVilson, U. S. R. S., all of Charles | ton; Dr. James Stoney, Beaufort, &c.

DOW. 1 CHRONICLE & SENTINEL. MISCELLANY, THE FARMER’S SONG. Success to the jolly old farmer, Who sings at the tail of his plough — The monarch of prairie and forest, ’Tis only to God he may bow : He is surely a fortunate fellow r He raises his bread and his cheese; And though hard is his labor in summer, In winter he lives at his ease. When the reign of winter is broken, And spring comes to gladden and bless— hen the flocks in the meadow are sporting, And the robin is building her nest The farmer walks forth to his labor. And manly and firm in his tread, As he scatters the seed for the harvest, That yields to the nations their bread. His banks are ail chartered by nature, Their credits are ample and sure, His clerks never slope with deposits, Pursued by the curse of the poor; His stocks are the best in the market; His shares are the shares of his plough: They bring the bright gold to his coffers, And pleasure and health to his brow. When his fields with rich harvests are teeming, And the reapers go forth to their toil, None so happy and free as the farmer— Possessor and lord of the soil; He sings while he roams his broad acres, As none but a farmer can sing, And would not change his condition, For the splendor and pomp of a king. When his crops are all gathered and sheltered, And his cattle are snug in the fold, He sits himself down by the fireside, And laughs at the tempest and cold. A stranger to pride and ambition, His duty he strives to fulfil, Determined whatever betides him, To let the world jog as it will. His trust is in Him who has given The seasons, the sunshine, and rain, Who has promised him ‘seed time and harvest,’ So long as the earth shall remain ; And if from his duties he wander, Led on by his venturesome will, Through life and his changing relations, God’s providence follows him still. A New York Miser. The Express tells the following extraordina ry story of a Miser of that city. The nameless Miser. —He is an old man—a very old man ;he is also a strange man—a ve ry strange man ; whose history and name are alike unknown. His business is that of a pa per scavenger, and the spoil which he collects in his journeying about the city he disposes of at the rate of one cent per pound. Many pounds does he often gather in a single day; but as it only costs him four shillings per week to live it is certain that he lays up a few shil lings at the close of every day. He com mences his daily business in the down-town streets, even when the day is breaking, and con tinues at his monotonous employment until the dark hours. He never goes home to dinner, but, when hungry, generally purchases a dry crust of bread, and eats it sitting upon the lower steps of the Custom house, or the City Hall. Never does he utter a word to a living soul; and when the stranger looks upon him he feels disposed to exclaim—“ what a poor, miserable being!” He is. indeed, a pitiable object to look upon— for his leather clothes are glossy and hard with the accumulated filth of many yeaas; and his countenance—it is furrowed all over with deep wrinkles, which no one could believe were ever moistened by a tear. He is a, hard vis aged man —repulsive and even terrible to look upon. For fifteen years have we known this singular being, and “ even then he was old, he seems no older now.” There are people in this great city who have been familiar with his face for upwards oftwenty years, and they affirm that he has been a paper scavenger daring all that time. AH times, when the the winds of winter howl through the streets, and also when the dog-star reigns, does he pursue hislaborious and degrading employment. And now that we have introduced our hero to the reader, it is meet that we should men tion what we know of his actual condition. He is a raiser,—a narrow-minded and mean miser, who can count his dollars by tens of thousands. If the reader doubts our word, let him, when next he meets the miserable man in the public highway, ask him the time of day, and he will be promptly answered, on the au thority of a superb gold watch, hidden in his filthy vestments A dry crust of bread and a cast off bone constitute his daily food, and yet this man carries the deeds in his pocket, which prove him to be the proprietor of at least five handsome dwelling houses, located in a fashionable part of the city; certificates of bank stock and other valuable papers are also hidden in his pockets. He is a widower, but the father of an only daughter, whom he has established over a superbly furnished house as the sole mistress and only tenant. She has all she needs in the way of household things, and every luxury of the season, and though her servants may prepare a sumptuous feast, none participate with her in its enjoyment.— Though it would add to her happiness on such occasions to call in a neighboring friend yet the privilege of giving an invitation is denied by her father, in ihe most positive and impe a ling is located a ricketty shell of a cabin, re live manner. Inthe rear of this daughter’s dwel sembling more the appearance of a sty than a human habitation, and this is the only dwelling place of our raiser. And now he spends the precious hours of his leisure life, counting his gold and examining the signatures of his deeds by the light whichr ests on his oaken table, and seldom is extinguished until after the hour of midnight; and when exhausted with his strange vigils, carefully does he fasten, with heavy iron bolts, the door of his den and sinks to sleep upon his bed of rags. /Cr TWO DOLLARS OX /$ PER ANNUM, IN ADVANC E ?
