Mules operate to our entire satisfaction, producing
yarn of a superior quality, and an increased qu .ntity
over the Hand Mules, and at a far less cost, not ex
ceeding ilve cents per hundred. 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

tion in my establishment eight of Smith’s Self-Acting
Mules, seven of 432 spindles, undone 0f312 spindles.
They perforin to the greatest satisfaction, and the
Mule itself is considered by all practical men as the
best of the kind in the country. Joseph Rjpka.

Co.’s, M. son’s, and Smith’s. The two former for
more th n two years, and the latter for upward of one
year las. past. I have kept an accurate account of
the product, waste and cost of operating each descrip
tion of Mule, and the result is decidedly in favor of
Smith’s,
I have no hesitation in saying the Smith Mule will
turn off more work per spindle than any other
now in use; that it requires less trouble to keep it in
order, and may be kept in repair at less expense.

DR. 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.

English Physician.

Patent illcMducs,
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
i 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 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.

EPPING’S
COMPOUND FLUID EXTRACT OF
SARSAPARILLA.
AND QUEEN’S DELIGHT. &C.
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.

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.
