RESIDENCE FOR SALE.
MTHE SUBSCRIBER offers
for sale his FARM, situate about 4J *£0
miles from the city, on the Georgia
Kail Road, containing about 105 acres of Land, about
40 of which is cleared.
This is a desirable place, being well improved, with
every necessary out-building, an excellent well of
water in the yard, and several springs near. Being
directly on the Railroad, one can avail himself of
the convenience of the Belair Train, which runs du
ring the Summer; coming into town about breakfast
time, and returning at sundown —so that any one
living there can reach town in fifteen minutes, and
not be troubled with a horse.
On Sundays the same train comes in to Church,
and returns to dinner. For heal.h and fine atmos
phere this place cannot be surpassed, having lived
there the past two years, without a single case of
sickness in my family.
Attached is a good garden and orchard, with a
variety of fruits. There is on the premises, corn,
fodder, wagons, milch cows, and necessary fanning
utensils. All of which will be sold low, if desired.
For particulars, apply to

ELECTROP ATHIC INSTITUTE,
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
DR. HITT, recently of Virginia, (the founder
of the celebrated Institu’e in Philadelphia) hav
ing taken the Bath Establishment, fitted up by Mr.
Barron, corner of Green and Jackson streets, and
attached important additions and improvements, is
prepared to give the bath, hot, tepid, cold, shower, va
por, steam, medicated, mineral or magnetic, for the
preservation or restoration of health. The success
which has attended the application of these, even in
the few past weeks, has furnished the Proprietor with
a number of living, healthy evidences in favor of his
mode of restoring and preserving health ; all of which
were considered hopeless cases—which being per
sonally exhibited cannot fail to inspire hope in the
most desperate cases.
In dispensing the potent agent of the Magnetic
Bath, Dr. H. has not omitted the more important de
partment of the community, the Ladies, for whose
special and exclusive accommodation a separate
apartment has been fitted up, to which their atten
tion is respectfully solicited, with the assurance that
whatever their condition, a visit to his Institute will
not be regretted.
Tickets for the season may be hnd at a moderate
price, giving the holder the choice of any Bath, with
the special direction of tho Proprietor.
P. S. Electric Apparatus and fixtures will be fitted
up to suit all cases, and sold at moderate prices.

THE GREAT REMEDY,
17* OR Rheumatism, Gout, Pain in the Side, Hip*
. Back, Limbs and Joints, Scrofula, King’s Evil,
White Swellings, Hard Tumors, Stiff Joints, and all
Fixed Pains whatever. Where this Plaster is ap
plied, Pain cannot exist.
These Plasters possess the advantage of being put
up in air-tight boxes —hence they retain their full
virtues in all climates. We have just received the
followmg testimonials from C. G. Sellers, an eminent
lawyer in successful practice in Wilcox county, Ala.
He is a gentleman in high standing, and one whose
influence has great weight:
“Camden, Ala., Nov. 24, 1848.
"Messrs. Scovil Mead — Gentlemen: Having
been requested to state what has been the result of
my experience in the use of your “ Hebrew Plaster,"
1 cheerfully comply by saying that I have found it to
be as heretofore recommended, an “ invaluable medi
cine." In different cases of ray family I haveappli
ed the Plaster to Chronic Sores, Tumors, and Pains,
and it has never failed to afford instant relief. I have
also used it with good effect upon my own person in
the cure of ulcers, with which I have been severely
afflicted. Respectfully, <& c. C C. SELLERS.
It have been very beneficial in cases cf Weakness
such as Pain and Weakness in the Stomach, Weak
Limbs, Lameness, Affections of the Spine, Female
Weakness, &c. No female, subject to pain and
weakness in the back, or side, should be without it.
Married ladies, in delicate situations, find great relief
from constantly wearing this Plaster.
The application of the Plaster between the shoul
ders has been found a certain remedy for Colds,
Coughs, Phthisic, and Lung Affections in their prima
ry stages. It destroys inflamation by perspiration.
Purchasers are advised that a mean counterfeit of
this article is in existence.
Caution.— The subscribers are the only General
Agents in the Southern States for the sale of this truly
valuable Plaster; and in order to prevent purchasers
being imposed upon by a counterfeit article, sold in
this city and elsewhere, for the genuine, they invite
particular attention to the following
MARKS OF THE GENUINE.
Ist. The genuine is put up in smooth, engine turned
bottomed boxes.
2d. The genuine has the engraved head of Jew

CIHIONICLE & SENTINEL '
From the Nashville Banner 7th inet.
The Conventionlata Routed--" 4 Horae,
Foot and Dragoons ’’--Davidson Coun- J
ty and the Capital of Tennessee asrainst
it.
The great trial of strength on the question
of Convention or no Convention came off yes
terday, (Monday, May 6th,) for this County,
after full notice of the time;and never was a
party more completely beaten than the very
few here, who, as it appeared, favored the
movement to appoint Delegates. The propo
sition had been on the tapis for several weeks,
and the battle was therefore fought after a fair
understanding, and on its full merits; and a
more complete defeat can be hardly imagined
than the one 7 we now chronicle.
This County Convention was called “ irre
spective of party,” and was organized by the
selection of A. J. Donelson, Esq., Ex-Minister
to Berlin, for President, Wm. Williams and
Frank McGavock, Esqs. as Vice Presidents,
and Gen. Edwin Hickman, as Secretary.
the meeting being held in the Court House.
The President having stated the object of
the Convention, as among other things, to ap
point Delegates for Davidson County to the
proposed Southern Convention, Mr. Southall
moved that a Committee be appointed to re
poit a Preamble and Resolutions for the ac
tion of the Convention.
Thereupon a discussion arose as to the
right of those opposed to the understood ob
jects of the Convention, to take part in the
proceedings, the Hon. Edwin H. Ewing having
offered a Resolution in lieu of the motion of
Mr. Southall. The latter having objected to
it at such a stage of the meeting, Mr. Ewing
withdrew it, and then the President appointed
the following named gentlemen to serve on
the said Committee : viz: Messrs. Southall,
Mosely, Willo. Williams, Watkins and E.
H. Ewing The committee having retired
for the purpose, after a shortj which
as yet we have no copy, but the pur
interval returned with a set of Resolutions of
port of which consisted in a recitation of the
wrongs and grievances of the South, an ap
proval of the proposed Convention in June
next at this point, and a provision for the ap
pointment of Delega es to represent Davidson
county in it.
Mr. Ewing, thereupon, arose and offered as
an amendment io the Resolutions reported by
a majority of the committee, the resolution
which follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting,
that it is inexpedient at present to appont Dele
gates to represent Davidson county in the South
ern Convention, proposed to be held at Nash
ville on the Ist Monday in June next.
Mr. Ewing, as the minority of the commit
tee, supported his amendment in an eloquent
and forcible speech, and the debate was fur
ther participated in by Messrs. Mosely,
Southall and Hale, who opposed the amend
ment, and by Messrs. Ewing and John Hugh
Smith, Esq. who sustained it. The former
contended that the meeting was called by the
friends of the proposed convention, that they
alone should speak for it, admitting at the same
time that they were outnumbered—the latter
insisting that as Davidson county was to be
represented, every voter had a right to act. —
The President took occasion also to explain
the motives which induced him to sign the call
for the Convention, and recognized the right
of all present to vote upon the questions pre
sented
The question being finally put by the Pres
ident, the vote was overwhelmingly in favor
of the amendment offered by Mr. Ewing, and
the question being then taken on an adjourn
ment of the meeting sine die, it was carried
with scarcely a dissenting voice
The President gave notice that a meeting
would be held after the adjournment, of those
favorable to the object of the first call, —viz :
to appoint delegates, and a few only in com
parison lingered behind, and went into a new
organization. We did not remain long enough
to see what they did, but shall probably find
out by the official proceedings before our next
issue.
Thus has the Convention project fallen life
less in the Capital of Tennessee, the speakers
in behalf of it having admitted over and over
—that they were outnumbered, that a “majority
WAS AGAINST THZM.
We congratulate the people of Tennessee
on this result. The action had here by the
people has finally demonstrated that they do
not sympathize with those who would go out
side the Constitution—who would pass by the
Supreme Court, and the other remedies pro
vided for the settlement of the questions at
issue, to seek in an irresponsible caucus of
politicians for relief from the evils which now
afflict the body politic.
In conclusion, —we cheerfully bear testimo
ny to the courtesy and impartiality which
marked the conduct of the distinguished gen
tleman who presided over the Convention,
and we take occasion to express the hope that
when it is his lot to exercise similar funct ons,
it may be upon an occasion when the results
may be more to his liking.
New Discovery.
We understand that Col. Mosely, a native
of this State, and for many years a resident of
Wilkes county, but now an enterprising citi
zen of Mississippi, has discovered a process
by which a very superior article of Cotton
Bagging can be made of the long moss so
abundant throughout the Southern States.—
We learn that he is about securing a patent
for his discovery, and that he has just returned
from the North, where he has purchased ma
chinery for a Bagging factory which he is
about to establish at or near Jackson, Mississip
pi. If this experiment should succeed as well
as the discoverer of the new process antici
pates, it will probably effect a revolution in the
manufacture of this article, which enters so
largely into the annual consumption of the
planters of the South—as doubtless, bagging
manufactured of this material can be furnish
ed much lower, while it is said to be far su
perior to any now in use.— Southern Whig.
