AUGUSTA. GA.. THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 27. 1849-
For the Cure of
COUGHS, COLDS,
HOARSENESS, BRON
CHITIS, CROUP, ASTH
MA, WHOOPING-COUGH
AND CONSUMPTION.
The uniform success which has attended the use
of this preparation—its salutary effect—its power to
relieve and cure affections of the Lungs, have gained
for it a celebrity equalled by no other medicine. We
offer it to the afflicted with entire confidence in its
virtues, and the full belief that it will subdue and
remove the severest attacks of disease upon the
Throat and Lungs. These results, as they become
publicly known, very naturally attract the attention
of medical men and philanthropists everywhere.
What is their opinion of Cherry Pectoral , may be
seen in the following ;
VALENTINE MOTT, M. D.,
Prof. Surgery Med. College , New York r, says : —
“ It gives me pleasure to certify the value and effi
cacy of Ayer’s CHERRY PECTORAL, which I
consider peculiarly adapted to cure diseases of the
Throat and Lungs.”
THE RT. REV. LORD BISHOP FIELD
writes in a letter to his friend, who was fast sinking
under an affection of the Lungs:—“ Try the CHER
RY PECTORAL, and if any medicine can give you
relief, with the blessing of God, that will.”
CHIEF JUSTICE EUSTIS,
of Louisiana, writes “That a young daughter of his
was cured of several severe attacks of Croup by
the ‘CHERRY PECTORAL.’”
ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS.
The Canadian Journal of Medical Science
states, “ That Asthma and Bronchitis, so prevalent ia
this inclement climate, has yielded with surprising
rapidity to Ayer’s CHERRY PECTORAL, and we
cannot too strongly recommend this skillful prepara
tion to the Profession and public generally.”
LET THE RELIEVED SUFFERER SPEAK FOR HIMSELF ;
Habttord, Jan 26, 1847.
Dr. J. C. Ayer —Dear SirV-Having been rescued
from a painful and dangerous disease by your medi
cine, gratitude prompts me to send you this acknow
ledgment, not only in justice to you, but for the in
formation of others in like affliction.
A slight cold upon the lungs, neglected at first,
became so severe that spitting of Idood, a violent
cough and profuse night sweats follov/sd and fastened
upon me. I became emaciated, could not sleep, was
distressed by my cough, and a pain through ray
chest, and in short had all the alarming symptoms
of quick consumption. No medicine seemed at all to
reach my case, until I providentially tried your
CHERRY PECTORAL, which soon relieved and
now has cured me. Yours with respect,
E. A. STEWART.
Albany, N. Y., April 17, 1849.
Dr. Aver, Liwvell —Dear Sir—l have for
been afflicted with Asthma in the worst form; so that
have been obliged to sleep in my chair for a larger
part of the lime, being unable to breathe on my bed.
I had tried a great many medicines to no purpose,
until my Physician prescribed, as an experiment,
your CHERRY PECTORAL.
At first it seemed to make me worse, but in less
than a week I began to experience the most gratify
ing relief from its use ; and now, in four weeks the
disease is entirely removed. I can sleep on my bed
with comfort, and enjoy a state of health which I had
never expected to enjoy.

VATOR will be issued. In sending forth another
Prospectus, it is deemed unnecessary to make any
new promises. If seven years of continued, unflag
ging, earnest effort to improve and advance the Agri
culture of the South have not sufficiently established
the character of the work, nothing that can be said on
this occasion will contribute to such a result. The
Publisher desires that his future efforts in that great
and noble cause shall be judged by his past. It is
his purpose to make the Cultivator equal, in every
respect, to what it is now ; what the planters of the
South want —a medium for the communication of the
thoughts and opinions of practical men, that they may
successfully teach each other whatever is important to
their interests and their profession.
Planters of the South I —the future destiny of the
Southern Cultivator is committed to your keeping
and care. You, and you alone, can sustain it, and
as it is exclusively devoted to your interests, your aid
is confidently invoked. If you deem it worthy a
generous and liberal support, let it not suffer for the
want of that support. If it is of value, it should be
in the bands of every man who boasts the proud vo
cation of tilling the soil; and the Publisher looks to
his friends and ihe friends of the work to aid him in
extending its circulation.
It will be published monthly, as heretofore, on fine
paper, in quarto form, each number containing SIX
TEEN PAGES of closely printed matter, 9 by 12
inches square, forming a volume in the course of the
year of 192 pages—with a complete Index.

CHRONICLE & SENTINEL
■ ' -I ■-
Nicaragua.
The intelligence by the Hibernia relative to
the Nicaragua question is of a nature some
what contradictory. We learn from one quar
ter that all difficulties growing out of the
claims of the Mosquito King will be speedily
adjusted, and that the completion of the great
canal between the two Oceans maybe expected
to take place without interference or obstruc
tion other than such as nature may interpose.
On the other hand it is announced that Lord
Palmerston is determined to maintain the as
sumptions of the British Government without
abatement, and that orders have been despatch
ed to the Admiral of the Pacific Squadron to
cruise in the neighborhood of Panama, and to I
be within call of the British Minister at Nicara
gua- ,
It is difficult to believe that any serious col
lision can grow out of the misunderstanding
which has arisen between our Government and
that of Great Britain in relation to the affairs
of Nicaragua—so difficult of belief indeed is
such a contingency that we cannot lay much
stress upon the announcement of Lord Pal
merston’s belligerent intentions. That orders 0
have been despatched, as reported, to the
British Admiral in the Pacific, is very probable;
because England knows how much efficiency
may be imparted to diplomatic negotiations by
the exhibition of means adapted to (he last
resort. The party which shows itself prepared
for the worst is generally apt to get the best in
any negotiation where the final contingency of
war is involved.
The considerations, however, which urge
both governments, end urge them imperatively,
to an amicable adjustment of all conflicting
claims in this affair, are so palpable that the
idea of a hostile collision between them on such
a ground is so far removed from the region of
common sense as to come within the limits of
the preposterous. A great work is to be done
for the benefit of both nations, for the benefit
of the whole commercial world —and can it be
supposed that an enterprise of this kind,
which invites a generous co operation and ex
cludes the very thought of monopoly, is to be
made the occasion for the intrusion of national
jealousies with narrow-minded and usurping
pretentions T This can hardly be.
How far Mr. Squier, our agent in Central
America, has kept within the limits of his
proper duty we cannotjundertake, just now to
judge. The cession of Tigre Island, which he
accepted from the Government of Honduras, ,
was a provisional cession and was provisionally
accepted. If it be true that in face of such a
transfer the British agent in that quarter took ;
possession of the island, and denied the right |i
of Honduras to cede any portion of her ter
ritory, on the ground of her own want of na
tionality, a new question is raised which the
United States and England, in the exercise of
a rational discretion, ought to dispose of calmly
as something not connected withlhe main ques
tion of the Canal route and the navigation of
the San Juan. It is manifestly to the interest
of both nations that the nationality of the
States of Central America should be preserved
and respected. We do not suppose for a
moment that our Government has any design
of making the nationality of Honduras the
basis of any claim to Tigre Island or to any
portion of the territory of Honduras. The
cession made to our agent will no doubt be
held good against British pretentions; but we do
not want the island. It belongs to Honduras,
and if we hold it at all it will be intrust, to
give it back to her when it shall appear that
she may keep it without molestation— Balt. |

Late from Vera Cruz. The Royal Mail
steamer, Capt. Abbott,arrived at her anchorage
yesterday, 90 hours from Vera Cruz, with
twenty-six passengers and $250,000 in specie
for England, s2,ooofor Mobile and $3,761 fbr
New Orleans.
Mr. Jimenez, editor of one of the public pa
pers in Mexico, arrived here on his way to New
Orleans.
We learn from a gentleman, one of the pas
sengers by the Thames, that a popular distur
bance broke out some few days since in the
city of Mexico, which was put down by the
Government forces, with the loss of several
lives.
Mr. Barren, who spent several days in this
city with his family last month, was robbed of
$7,000 on his way from Vera Cruz to Tepic.
A good deal of discontent with the Govern
ment is said to prevail in Mexico. The friends
of Santa Anna appear to be gaining in num
bers, and the speedy return of the exiled chief
tain is confidently calculated upon.
From Mexico we learn that the election of
Deputies was going on, and much excitement
prevailed. The Monarchists are supposed to
be in the ascendant. —Mobile Register 22d.
