All the complaints for which Sarsaparilla is useful (and more too) have been mentioned in Northern ad vertisements. Large quantities of Sarsaparilla for the past three years have been prepared in this State for the Northern market, sent on in barrels and then sweetened with sugar or molasses, and we may well auppoee considerable of it comes back again, though in a very diluted state. The only way for people at the South to get a pure article is to obtain it from those who prepare it in the South. That prepared by Dr. D. is from the pure Southern roots end nothing else. The Georgia Sarsaparilla alone is better for dis eases of the Liver, or diseases arising from an impure state of the Blood, or for Southern diseases generally, than any of the Northern compounds of the kind, with all the sugar, molasses or sweetened water, er any thing else they put into it. Druggists supplied on the most liberal terms. Our motto is Union, Home Manufactures and the Georgia Sarsaparilla. 02-ts FOR THE HAIR WE HAVE just received a supply of the rich est articles for the Toilet extant, for re moving DandrifT or Scurf, to prevent the Hair from falling off, to keep it smooth, gloeoy, and in its place.

DAILY CHRONICLE & SENTINEL. Correspondence of the Chronicle 8c Sentinel. Warrknton, 11th Oct., 1850. Mr. E®itor:— l have for near a week been sojourning in this busy little town, the Supe rior Court for Warren County being in ses eion. There appears to be more business, commercially, done here than in any other i town I hare ever visited of twice its sise. The stores are crowded all day and until nine j or ten o’clock at night. There seems to be i a constant rush among Merchants and their : customers, and yet tho town presents no ap | pearance of symmetry or benntv. The houses are thrown together almost in a heap, scarcely any public square, and 1 believe but one street running directly through, with roads coming in at different points. The people seem al most as one, every body you meet is social and friendly, and you feel when in Warren too like you were in one great family. There is nothing like aristocracy or ostentation in any thing you see here. Take it all in all it presents more of the Republican simplicity of the American citizen than any other I have visited. There has recently been an interesting revi val of Religion here, and many of the young people have been received into the Churches. The Annual Session of the Georgia Asso ciation convened in the Baptist Church here to-day, and was organised by electing the Rev. Vincent Thornton . Moderator, and Wm. P. Mell, Clerk. An unusual numberof Ministers I understand, are in attendance, and it is to be hoped that the good work will still go on until the citizens of Warrenlon become famous for Faith and good Works. The crops in this county are better than in many of the counties through which I have recently travelled. Now Mr. Editor, you m ist aliow£me to say something politically, for 1 hold it to be the duty of every good and true citizen, to guard well the Republican rights and Religious privi leges off which I have been speaking; which are guaranteed to us by the Constitution framed by our Fathers, and which some evil minded men are now endeavouring to destroy. Yes, sir, there are questions now agitating the pub lic mind, and why is it so ? The answer is on every tongue. For the first time I believe in the history of Georgia, a Convention, is called by Executive au hority, not to alter any of the features of our State Constitution, the legitimate object of such conventions, but to adopt as proclaimed by hia Excellency “some mode of tedress,” and we are gravely told by the organ of his Excellency that we should not trammel the delegates to said Convention by requiring pledges of what they must do when assembled. But we should pledge our selves to abide by whatever they may deter mine. A more slavish requirement was never exacted by a tyrant, and for a less usurpation of power some Monarch’s have lost their heads. When such things occur, is it notgibe duty of every freeman to speak out in con demnation of such degrading suggestions ? Many I rejoice to see are speaking. On Wednesday last at this place, the Hon. Robert Toombs addressed the people, and a vast crowd there was to hear him. The Court House was too small to hold more than half. He spoke from the steps to the crowd inside and out of the house, and as you may well imagine his speech was powerful in defence of the Constitution and Union. The limits of this letter will not allow me to give a detailed sketch of the positions assumed and maintain ed by him. 1 think it sufficient to say, that it was one of Toomb's best. Yesterday at noon the people were address ed again by Judge Andrews, of Wilkes, in a speech which for power and argument I have never heard surpassed; his reasoning must have been terrible to evil doers. I wish that I had space to give his appeal to bis old Demo cratic brethren, but those who have read his recent letter to the public on the same subject can judge of the character of his speech, and when he, with hh tall form erect, his hands raised high over his head in ail the fervency of his soul, proclaimed his undying devotion to the Union, and his determined hostility to all those who are now seeking to destroy the glorious fabric of the Constitution, the applause was long and loud. His frequent and apt allusions to the Chivalry were withering beyond des cription. Last night at 7 o’clock, I listened to another most powerful speech from Judge Cone, of Greensboro, on the same side. Those only of your readers who have heard him in defence of the Constitution and Union, can form any thing like a correct idaa of the power of his arguments, indeed his oratorical powers are unsurpassed and his whole soul is enlisted in the cause. 1 regret that 1 have not space to give his speech somewhat in detail, for it is engraven on my memory never to be eradica ted. I am justified also io saying that Judge Bax ter is equally devoted to the Constitution and Union, but bis Judicial duties will not permit him to take the stump at present. All things here are cheering for the cause of Union. Hillsberrt. The Resistance Men.—As there has re cently sprung up a party, calling themselves by the above title, nod as it appears doubtful, not only to the world, but to themselves, what is the measure of their resistance, we propose to examine their words and actions. In the first place they roundly deny that they are disunionists, but say they are not for sub mission, are for resistance. But the manner of resistance is the difficulty; some say non interconrse, some one thing, and some another, and others don’t know what they wait. Well, how do they act ? Who do these resistance men who are opposed to disunion act with ? Who do they consult with T Who do they praise? We say, they invite open seceders and disunionists to their public meetings, cheer their disunion sentiments, unite with them in all their public acts, and land them as cham pions of Southern rights. Why do they as sociate with disunionists if they are opposed to 1 them ? We do not act with a party to whom we are opposed in principle. These resistance men cannot deceive the people, for it is an old adage, and a true one, “that persons may be judged by the company they keep,” and those who associate with dis unionists should be judged to agree with them. ‘ S Ho that is not for us is against us,” and be that is not for observing the laws of his coun try is against it. The immortal Jackson said in the days of nullification that the only consti tutional modes of resisting the laws of Congress was by the Supreme Court and ballot box, that all other modes were revolutionary. Non-in tercourse Is unconstitutional and impractica ble, and no mode and measure of redress in the constitution can be adopted; the question 1 is, ■imply, will we remain in the Union, or will we go out of it. Men must take their stand either for their country or against it; they must be either patriots or traitors. A patriot is a Kian true to his government; a traitor is one who is opposed to it. We are for our coun try —reader, are you against it 7 —CassmlU Standard. The Weather Crops, &c.—~ We have had some weeks dry and beautiful weather for picking cotton. The crop in this section though perhaps the best in the cotton region, will not be a full crop. The country contin ues healthy. Many new settlers are coming in but there is yet room for thousands of oth are.—Albany (g« ; Patriot. correspondent at Piaquemine of f O , Vv. rUe , ita says that on the night of the <ih uist., the bank of the river in front of the lower part of the town caved in and has already destroyed property to the amount of $50,000. No houses have, as yet, fallen in, but for a distance of one hundred yards the buildings are on the very brink, and openings are above and behind them. The owners are moving their goods and pulling down their houses as fast as they can. I ought not, per haps, to have made any estimate of the loss, for it is almost impossible to arrive at a just one. 1 feel convinced that the destruction has but commenced. The Crops.— The Jackson (East Feli ciana) Mirror of the 3d inst. says: The late dry weather has caused the cotton to open rapidly, thus affording a good time for gathering. We know of no planter who says he will make a full crop; we hear very many say that they will be satisfied with Haifa crop. The cane growers in this neighborhood say that the dry weather has injured the cane. Frost. —The Memphis Eagle of the Bth inst. says: “We had frost again, yesterday morning. The fifth of October has thrice within the past ten years brought ns our first frosts. Some eight or ten years ago our first frosts—for two successive seasons —occurred ou the fifth ; we remember no earlier frosts. The long drought and extreme dryness of ve getation will prevent, we think, any serious injury to the cotton plant ; but we shall soon hear from the interior ; the low and damp cot ten lands, where vegetation is greener, most suffer more or lass. P. S.—We have seen several gentlemen from the country, who inform us that the frosts were severe, and have done all the injury that frosts could de to the cotton —destroying the small bolls, and injuring more or less those not matured. The backward cotton in bot tom lauds still vigorously growing is of course greatly injured. Had the frosts kept off two or three weeks longer, at least ten per cent more would have been made. We doubt now if but little more than a full half crop will be realized this season.
