PUBLISHED DAILY AND WEEKLY,
BY W. S. JONES.
THURSDAY ITIORN’G, NOV. 8 1860.
The Result.
Well, the battle is ended ; (or is it just begun ?)
it is fought and won. We hare met the enemy,
and they have conquered. We do not yet know
much of the details, nor have we much stomach
for them. It is sufficient to know that Lincoln
has carried nearly if not altogether the entire
North, while the South is divided. And what
does this election show ? A triumph of sectional
ism certainly, but is it a triumph also of anti
slavery fanaticism ? It looks very much so, but
still we must all know that besides anti-slavery
there was another powerful element that came in
to the aid of the Republican party. And that was
undying hatred to Democracy, and it may be that
hatred of Democracy had as much to do with it
as hatred of slavery.
Besides the fanatic, anti-slavery spirit of the
North, there was also that other spirit, born of
party, nurtured by party, destined to be the de
struction perhaps of the whole frame-work of this
government, and that spirit rallied to the Repub
lican banner, as affording the best prospect of
success, with the determination that Democracy
should perish, let the consequences be what they
might. The treachery, the proscriptiveness, the
tyranny, the corruption of the Democratic party,
made more especially manifest and loathsome by
James Buchanan and his administration, have con
tributed largely to the success of the Republican
party.
I be election presents however, a rather anoma
lous position of matters. While the candidate of
a purely sectional and geographical party is elected
to the Presidency by a purely geographical vote,
and that not au accident—not by carrying large
States by small majorities and small States by
large majorities—but has actually carried an over
whelming popular majority, in perhaps each of
eighteen States, and certainly in the whole eight
teen together, over all combinations and all fu
sions, yet his party is rendered utterly powerless
in administration, exoept so far as Executive pa
tronage goes, by an absolute and undeniable
majority against him, in the popular branch of
Congress. And the election shows further, an
absolute gain of auti-Republican Representatives,
and at the same time a vast popular gain to the Re
publican cause. This is indeed strange, anomalous,
almost unaccountable.
But uow the question is, what shall be done ?
No one can doubt that there is a demoniac, fa
natic, anti-slavery sentiment in the North which
would, if it dared, put the heel of a numerical
majority upon the necks of a Constitutional, law-*
abiding minority. No one can doubt that this
spirit is manifest iu the Republican party, is its
life and soul aud ruling power, but still it may be
doubted, first whether this fanaticism is the thing
uppermost in this election, and secondly whether
this hell’s own child can accomplish what it may
desire, or even seriously jeopard the interests, the
security, the peace, of the eight millions of peo
ple inhabiting the fifteen slave States. And while
this fanatic spirit is rampant and demonstrative
on one side, we see on the other eight millions of
free people, whom th eworld can not conquer, sen
sitive, exasperated, almost desperate.
What shall be done ? Well, iu the first place,
the times require that we should be perfectly
cool, or as cool as we can be, aud that we proceed
in this business with due deliberation, putting
aside rasbuess and passion ns far as possible, and
that we take uo step that is not marked aud point
ed out by a due regard to all the interests, the
vast interests, of this section of the Confederacy.
The greatest danger, it strikes us, is that men
under the strong excitement of the moment may
not uct either justly or wisely, towards them
selves, and totvards their brethren arouud them.
By all means, it is of the very highest importance,
that however much we feel exasperated against
the North, we neither feel nor show any hatred
and jealousies among ourselves. Precipitate ac
tion now, or attempts at precipitate action,
threaten to defeat the very end aimed at, to arouse
our owu 6elves against domestic tyranny and in
tolerance, to fire our own hearts with all manner
of bitterness, and, instead of accomplishing a
peaceable separation from the North, aud the in
auguration of a Southern Confederacy, to light
the fires of civil and perhaps servile war around
our own homes. Let men then be prudent and
thoughtful—not rash aud turbulent. And let the
Legislature cf Georgia call a Convention of the
sovereign people of the State, to determine for
themselves what they shall do, and let the delibe
rate determination of Georgia control the action
of each one of its citizens.
Sapremo Court Decisions.
By a law of Tenuessee the decisions of the Su
prome Court are published as delivered, in the
newspapers, for the more speedy information of
the legal fraternity and the people, and paid for
of course, out of the State Treasury. We would
call the attention of the Georgia Legislature, now
in session, to this matter, aud would suggest that
the decisions of our Supreme Court be published,
immediately on delivery, in one or two papers of
the largest circulation in each Judicial district.
The expense would not be very considerable, and
the advantage great, not only to lawyers, but
more especially to the people, a vast number of
whom never see a law book, and never find out
the law’ perhaps, as determined by our Supreme
tribunal, unless they have occasion to go into the
courts as parties litigaDt, and then they find it out
to their cost and sorrow.
Disunion Schemes
The New York correspondent of the Philadel
phia Ledger sends that paper the following bit of
intelligence :
Within the past few days there have been so
journing at the St. Nicholas Hotel here, several
eminent South Carolinians, who, there is the best
reason for believing, were secretly commissioned
by the secessionists of that State to come to New
York, in order to calculate the chances of Lin
coln’s carrying this State, with a view to soaping
their course of proceeding at home, looking to
“resistance.”
These gentlemen sailed in the steamer Nashville,
for Charleston, yesterday. On Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday they were in free communication
with the best sources of political information in
this city, and throughout the State. Parties who
are in a position to kuow what transpired, say
they go home under the firm conviction that Mr.
Lincoln will sweep the board, aud that on Wed
nesday next the telegraph will announce his elec
tion as President of the United States.
The Legislature of the State will then be in ex
traordinary session. Governor Gist will send in
to them a message, announcing the fact, and after
recapitulating the grievances the South has en
dured, and is likely to endure, at the bands of
their enemies, now that they have obtained-pos
session of the Federal Government, withdrawal
from the Union will be recommended.
After tho reading of the Governor’s Message,
the Legislature will agree upon a sort of Declara
tion of Independence, and, with an appeal to the
rest of the Southern States to fall back with South
Carolina upon their “reserved rights,” they will
pledge themselves to support it, come what may,
with “their lives, their fortunes, and thtir sacred
honors.”
The next Btep in pursuance of this action will
be the appointment of a Committee to wait upon
the Collector of the Federal Custom House, to
notify him of the action of the State Government,
and to command him to resign his office to anew
Collector, appointed by the Governor, who will
then proceed to collect the revenue in the name
of the State of Soutfl Carolina, for the benefit of
the South Carohua treasury.
This being the court act, it will necessarily bring
things to a focus, and the all-important question
will then arise, “What will be the course of Mr.
Ruchanau ?” My informant says the Secessionists
arc nuder the impression that, rather than “strike
the first blow” in a civil war, which Abolitionism
bas precipitated, he will resiaji his office —in which
case, agreeably to the provisions of the Constitu
tion, in such case made and provided, Mr. Breck
inridge will be President of the United States.
That point gained, they say. they are willing to
risk whatever may be in store for them thereafter.
I know there will be a great many people who
will laugh at this statement, and put it down as
only anew phase of the “disunion dodge;” but
as a faithful chronicler of the news of the day,
and having no partisan bias one way or another,
I feel I should be recreant to my duty did I fail
to communicate facts and circumstances, vouched
for by authorities the veracity and respectability
of which I am not in a position to impugn.
Scdpbi* Death of a Wipe Awake in Procession.
—Mr. Samuel Gladding, of Newport, R. 1., who
accompanied the Newport Wide Awakes to a de
monstration at Providence, on Thursday evening,
fall while the procession was marching, and died
almost instantaneously, either of apoplexy or
4isV of th * heart -
Letter fronf Senator Ynlee.
• New Yoke, Octeber 18, 1860.
W. H. Babcock, Esq., Editor of the East Floridian:
Dear Sir: You were correctly informed. My
opinion has not at all changed, that the Demo
cratic party in Florida can do no otherwise, nor
ought to do* any otherwise, than to vote unitedly
for the electors nominated at Quincy, and through
them for Breckinridge and Lane. In view of the
important issues of State Rights and Southern
pjlicy, which have now become involved iu the
canvass, I wish most sincerely that all parties in
the State could be reconciled to join in this
course.
It is quite true, as intimated in the article to
which you refer, that I was surpiised and grieved
with the answer which Mr. Douglas made to the
question propounded to him in Norfolk ; and with
the tone of expression. Equally true that I wish
ed Mr. Breckinridge could have thought it proper
to announce a contrary position promptly! But
no other candidate declares his recognition of the
right of slcession. I am, therefore, content to
vote for Mr. Breckinridge, whose avow’ed senti
mentsupou other material issues most nearly ac
cord with my own. Secession is a great preserva
tive rignt ol the States. It cannot be questioned
tyr those who agree that the constitution of the
L nited States is a compact between sovereign
States ; aud with those who do not so regard that
instrument, I have no political sympathy, nor any
fellowship as U Democrat.
It is not to be disguised ( however much we
regret to believe it) that, willingly or not, the
States of the Southern section are likely to be
soon forced to consider the value of the present
Union. The accession of an anti-slavery party
to the Goyerumeht of the United States will be a
very serious event. When we contemplate the
couditbn of opinion in our associate States of the
North, which has enabled this party to reach,
with such rapidity, the overwhelming proportions
it has attained, and consider the sharply defined
platform of hostility to the Southern form of so
ciety upon which it is organized, the undisguised
avowals of aggressive purpose by its prominent
leaders, and the offensive and even demoniac
spirit with which some of them find it safe for
their party success to express themselves, we can
not help feeling a very deep concern. The pos
session of the Government by such a party will
be a fact so threatening of evil to the communities
occupying the States in which African slavery is
allowed, that some defensive policy will be indis
pensable—the more indispensable because beiug
now iu a settled minority, they are without means
of effective self-defence against the mischievous
and aggressive use of the Federal power, which
the more numerous and powerful States of the
Northern section will have permitted and author
ized, if they place such a party in charge of the
government. The proceeding proper to take,
must of course depend upon the circumstances
existing at the time, frankly aud deliberately re
viewed. It is evidently desirable to avoid any
serious civil commotion, and in many grave as
pects most desirable to preserve the Union of the
States, evtu with much sacrifice.
But we must have Peace. We may desirS to
remain united with our friends at the North:
many important interests, and our accustomed
feelings may attach us to the present Union ; we
may duly apprehend the serious effects attending
all extensive aud sudden changes in the constitu
tion of civil government; but the policy of our
common government must be consistent with our
equality as confederates, and our safety and pre
servation as communities. We must defend and
maintain the security and happiness of our fami
lies und fireside. Family and Fireside ! In our
duty to these, we must do all, und‘brave all.
What action this duty may impose—the extent of
action, the form of action, the time of action—
'will, of course, claim our mature and careful con
sideration ; and to be effective, our determina
tions should have the support of a well defined
aud deeply impressed public sentiment.
My owu judment is very folly decided. We
cannot endure a government which puts itself in
in conflict with our social safety and civil develop
ment. We must be assured against the unnatural
condition of a cociety warred upon by its owu
government. lam now convinced, after careful
observation since 1850, when the South consented
to pass into a minority, that we require new
guarantees in the Union, Nothing short of the
adaptation of the federal compact, by appropriate
alterations, to the changed circumstances of the
country, can meet the necessities of the case. The
change which seventy years has made in the num
ber of States, and extent of our Territory, and
especially the great changes that have occurred
in the numbers and distribution of population, in
the elements composing it, and in the ideas which
move them, all make very proper a review of the
terms of uuion, and an adjustment of the details
of government to these altered conditions. The
existing state of disquiet and violence proves the
necessity. There is no peace iu the land, nor any
general harmony between the States. We should
arrange together, now and at once, for living in
peace, or parting in peace.
Your obedient servant,
D. L. Yulee.
Non-Paying Counties.
The following table which we publish below,
jve take from the Comptroller General’s Report,
it will be 3een that there are fifty-four counties
that draw more money from the State Treasury
than they pay into it. Thirty of them lie North
of the Georgia Railroad and the Atlanta and West
Point Road ; twenty-two lie South of the Central
Railroad and the South Western and Muscogee
Railroad ; two—Clayton and Glascock—lie in
Middle Georgia. There are a number of others
that save themselves by paying from sl2 to S2OO
more into the Treasury than they take out. The
reason is obvious. There are more counties in
the State than there is any reasonable necessity
for, and if a final stop is not put to the creation
of more new counties, a few counties will have to
bear the burthen of supporting the State. Let
the political economists apply the rightful remedy
in time. The reduction of the Legislature is, be
yoDd question, the rightful remedy, notjonly as a
great saving to the State, but the securing of bet
ter and safer legislation.— Southern Recorder.

The Frog Rkmedt for Consumption. —A Toledo
(Ohio) paper says :
Some question, has risen among our exchanges
as to the tiuta of the statement that a female of
this city is in the habit of swallowing six live
frogs as a remedy for consumption. We will
simply state that there are at the present time
more than six ladies of this city swallowing live
frogs daily in hopes of permanent eradication of
that disease, and if we may oredtt the statements
of our practicing physicians—they are upper ten,
too.
Dead Freight. —The clipper ship Storm King
has sailed from this port for Hong Kong with a
cargo of lumber and grain. She also takes several
paciug ponies. About two hundred Chinese go
us passengers, including two merchants of that
country. Deep in the hold are nine baskets full
of dead Chiuamen. It may not be known that
emigration companies at Hong Kong agree to
take back the people who come here, dead or
alive. The ashes of nine of their number that
were buried in California have been gathered, and
are now about to be re-interred in their native
land. Frequently one or two hundred dead Qhi
namen, boxed up, are conveyed back to the Flow
ery Kingdom.— San Francisco Bulletin.
The following appears in the Savannah News :
To the I oung Men of Chatham County. —l am
authorized by his excellency, Gov. Brown, to arm
and equip 100 men with the latest and most ap
proved weapons. Those of you who are anxious
to attach yourselves to a Military Corps, ready to
meet any call from the South, at a moment’s no
tice. are invited to meet at my office, at 7i£ o’clock,
on Wednesday evening, the 7th November.

Dipthbria. —An old physician, writing to the
Alexandria Gazette from Mason county, Virginia,
savs :
This section of our State bas been remarkably
healthy, until quite lately, when it bas been visit
ed by a disease deemed by many to be anew one,
but this is altogether a fallacy. I allude to a mal
ady called diptheria, and bv the French diptherite.
The doctors disagree as to the character of this
disease, as they are too often apt to do regarding
the ills that flesh is heir to. But it is indisputably
a modification of scarlatina, or the putrid variety
of Richter, a very old author, and therefore, nn
old disease instead of anew one. And, in plain
English, it is nothing more nor less than the pu
trid sore throat, one of the most appalling and
dangerous maladies that can possibly visit aDy
community. There is nothing new in it with me,
as I have been familiar with it, at different pe
riods, for upwards of fifty-Bix years—a period in
which I have been engaged in the study and prac
tice of medicine.
In a communication like the present, I can only
drop a few remarks respecting the treatment of
this terrible disease, which bus already proved so
fatal in several instances, iD this aud other neigh
boring counties, as well as on the Ohio side of the
river. A man of the name of Swartz lost both of
his sons with it—one nearly of age, and the other
16—only a few days ago.
Emetics are eminently useful in this disease,
and the earlier they are resorted to, the more
beneficial will be their effects; indec~, they may
be recurred to occasionally throughout the whole
course of the disease. The bowels should be kept
in a soluble state by the milder laxatives. But
all active purging should be avoided.
When the fever is on, administer cooling, acid
ulated drinks—lemonade, cold water, and a little
ice. In the apyrexia, or when the system flags
with much prostration, exhibit warm, stimulating
teas, and drinks.
The local treatment.—l employ various local
applications ; but to mention a few of them must
suffice. Make a strong solution of the sulphate
of lime, with a pleutiful addition of honey, and
use as a gargle several times ; or dissolve two
drachms of sal ammonia in a pint of water,
sweeten well also with honey, and gargle the
throat three or four times a day with it. These
gargles may be employed alternately. The exter
nal applications to the throat may be the volatile
liniment, or the camphorated liniment. But
when the neck is very hot, it should be kept as
cool as possible, even when making these topieal
applications.
“Beware of the Vidders.”— A short time since,
in Cincinnati, a young man, in a joke, so h'e says,
introduced a friend to a widow lady of some
means. An intimacy sprung up between them,
which resulted iu an engagement of marriage.—
The was to-be groom so won on the confidence of
his intended as to borrow from her some sixteen
hundred dollars, with which he soon made him
self scarce. The sequel to the affair is that the
widow has brought suit against the man who in
troduced her to the deceiver, as a party to the
swindling transaction.
Tobacco for Boys. —A strong and sensible
writer administers a wholesome dose for boys
who use tobacco in any form, assuring them that
tobacco has utterly spoiled and utterly ruined
thousands of boys, inducing a dangerous preco
city, developing, softening and weakening of the
bones, and greatly injuring the spinal marrow,
the brain, and the whole nervous fluid. A boy
who early and frequently smokes, or in any way
uses large quantities of tobacco never, is known
to make a man of much energy of character, and
generally lacks physical and muscular, as well as
mental energy. We would particularly warn
boys who want to be any body in the world, to
shun tobacco as a most banefufpoison.
Crime in New Orleans.— Sunday, the 28th ult.,
was a day of blood in the city of New Orleans.
There were no less than five men stabbed in as
many affr&ys; one died, and three others mortally
wounded. In one case, Mr. Victor Piquet was
out walking with his wife, when a youth, named
Joseph Prudhomme, insulted her ; this Mr. P.
resented, when an affray ensued and P. was
stabbed, dying in a few minutes. In another ass
ray, Ed. Fitzgerald was mortally stabbed by B. S.
Brown. J
Explosion of Rockets.—A wagon which con
tained rockets, Ac., for a torchlight procession at
Louisville on Friday night, was exploded by the
accidental falling of a roman candle, killing one
man and dreadfully wounding another.
Gov. Mriee Rebuked.
The disunion resolutions offered by Ex-Gov.
M ise, and adopted at a Breckinridge meeting,
held in the connty of Princess Anne,
haiing been the subject of much comment in
Norfolk, and fearing that their silence might pos
sibly be construed into acquiesonn— ** -*- x,ua
of the Uaion ia*nJ for a meeting to be
held on Tuesday evening, at the Opera House.
The Norfolk Herald says;:
Th public meeting held in this city on Tues
day-last was what every friend of order desired it
should be—one of the largest, most respectable
and orderly that has ever convened in this city
before. It was not intended that it should be
considered as in any respect a party movement —
and it was not, as the resolutions “adopted fully
testify.
W. W. Sharp, Esq., presented the following re
solutions, which he prefaced with an eloquent and
Satriotic speech: Alex. Rives, Esq., of Albemarle,
lon. John S. Millson, and Joseph Segar, Esq.,
being present, were severally called for, and re
sponded in speeches replete with convincing argu
ments, biting sarcasm, and eloquent appeals in
behalf of our glorious Union.
Each resolution, as it was read, was received
with much applause, the sth and 6th particularly,
with long and repeated cheers.
The restless oondition of the public mind, in
flamed by partisan addresses, sectional differences
of opinion in regard to public men and measures,
and other exciting causes, so plainly indicates
danger to the existing institutions of our country,
that none, save the careless and inconsiderate, can
be indifferent to the prospect before us. And this
meeting, which is independent of party objects,
and moved by the single desire to aid in protect
ing those institutions from violation in any quar
ter, has assembled soberly to consider the politi
cal difficulties in which we are involved, to ex
press their own and what they believe to be pub
lic opinion; and to prevent misconception at
home and abroad as to what that opinion is—
We therefore resolve,
1. That we regard the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, whatever may be its imperfections, as
the best safeguard of liberty and human right,
ever yet devised by human wisdom, and that in
view of the good it has secured, as well as the
evil it has averted, we prefer it to any other form
of government hitherto suggested or adopted
among mankind.
2. That wc regard the Union of the States, un
der that Constitution, not only as the best means
to our coutiuued prosperity, but as necessary to
the best hopes of the world, and look upon dis
union as the greatest evil than can befall us, save
dishonor.
3. That no one section of the United States
more than another, has the right to name and
elect any citizen to the Presidency, and that it is
the duty of all parts of the Union to acknowledge
and give due obedience to the government, under
any President who may be constitutionally elect
ed, so long as the Constitution and laws shall be
faithfully kept and executed.
4. That it is unreasonable to regard the eleva
tion of any citizen to the Presidency, who shall
be duly elected by a constitutional majority of toe
people, as an act of aggression, or from which, of
itself, we inay infer designs hostile to our righis
and liberties. .
5. That we have sufficient confidence in the
people of the United States, in their love of the
Union and reverence for the laWs, to believe that
they will, upon all just occasions, oppose and re
sist any clear violation of the Constitution, wheth
er attempted in wantonness or under the forms of
law. But we hold that to anticipate and ussume
such violation, under existing circumstances, is
at once unwise and unjust, and we shall regard
the appointment of “Minute Men” “Committees
of Safety,” as contemplated iu one of the resolu
tions adopted by a portion of the people of the
county of Princess Anne, on the 17th inst., as the
exercise of authority unknown to the laws of the
State of Virginia, and of an irritating and revo
lutionary character.
6. That we have seen nothing to justify any dis
trust in the constituted authorities of the State
that they will not in due time and in a proper man
ner, vindicate the laws and maintain the dignity
of the Commonwealth.
The resolutions were then adopted, a single
voice dissenting.
A Good Wat to get out op a Difficulty. —ln
a thriving town, not a thousand miles away, a vo
lunteer rifle company was recently formed. They
met to elect officers, when it soon became mani
fest that a large proportion of the members were
aspirants to all the posts of honor. A sensible in
dividual made a suggestion that all who desired
to become officers should retire during the ballot
ing, when to the general astonishment it was
found that there were only three left to conduct
the election. The three gentlemen, however, de
termined to do their duty, and proceed at once
with the business. After a little time hadelupsed
the outside party was called in, and informed that
the meeting bad great difficulty in making choice,
as the claims of all those who had retired were so
conspicuous. They had concluded, therefore,
that the onlv way to escape the difficulty, aud
pive general satisfaction, would be to elect* them
selves to the three principal offices, and they had
accordingly done so. The company acquiesced in
this wise decision.— Char. Courier.’
Florence Nightingale says : The effect of mu-,
sic upon the sick has been scarcely at all noticed.
In fact, its expensiveuess, as it is now, makes any
general application of it out of the question. I
will only remark here, that wind instruments, in
cluding the humau voice, and stringed instru
ments capable of continuous sound, have gene
rally a beneficial effect—while the piano forte, with
such instruments as have no continuity of sound,
have jnst the reverse. The finest piano forte
playing will damage the sick, while an air like
“Home, Sweet Home,” or “Assisa pie d’uu salice,”
on the most ordinary grinding organ, will sensibly
sooth them—and this quite independent of asso
ciation.
The agitations of the current time forcibly re
call the shrewd remark of Fisher Ames, that emi
nent philosophic statesman of the early period in
, our history, when he said “that a monarchy is a
merchantman which sails well, but will sometimes
I strike on a rock and go the bottom ; whilst a Re
public is a raft which may never sink, but then
your feet are always in water.” — Nat. Intel.
The death-bed advice nearest the heart of the
venerated Madison, and deepest in his convic
tion was, “that the Union of the States be cher
ished and perpetuated. Let the open enemy to
it be disregarded as a Pandora with her box open,
and the disguised one as the serpent creeping
with hiß deadly wiles into paradise.”
Fatal Railroad Accident.— Mr. Charles Alex
ander, a native of Scotland, in the 25th year of
his age, an employee of the Tennessee and Ala
bama Railroad, was killed on Saturday last, by
being caught between the locomotive upon which
he was engaged and the rear steps of a passenger
train.
Pardoned. —The President has pardoned W. H.
Wilder, who had served four years in the Louisi
ana State penitentiary, for forging United States
land warrants. Wilder wus sentenced to ten
years’ imprisonment, but his health had failed
considerably since his imprisonment, and his re
lease had become a matter of life or death.

this article Is known It Is a work of supererogation to say one
word In Its favor, so well is It established as an unfailing reme
dy for Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Croup, Whooping Cough,
Asthma, Quinsy, Pthlsic, diseases oi the Throat, Chest and

rable disease. Those who have used this remedy know Its
value; those who have not have but to make a single trial-to
be satisfied that of all others it is the remedy.

OT Bimndreth’a Pills are growing more In favor with th e ”
public. It Is now conceded they are the best purgative yet put
firth from the world of medicine. The time will surely arrive
when they will supersede all other purgatives whatever. The
lugredlenfaof which they are composed can scarcely be obtain
ed by druggists or the makers of other pills. Dr. Brandreth
has them grown and prepared without regard to the expense.
And this care to make a popu ar purgative Is appreciated, as
their sales indicate. Other purgatives are dragging a flickering
existence. And yet they may have some merit. But BRAN
DRETH’S PILLS are safe and sure—safe, because they ope
rate solely on impure humors. No valuable fluid Is touched;
only eflete or worn-out material, which, when taken out of the
body leaves It stronger. They are as pleasant as a truly effec
tive medicine can be. To say that they will not sometime give
pain woiud not be crae, but the pain they give U only
they remove those trade and bad humors from the blood which
are the occasion of disease. They open nature’s avenues, and
this ca’ not always be done pleasantly.

iy Practical Advice to Ladies.— The first symptoms
of disease should never be disregarded. If not removed, serious
evils will inevitably follow, and in seeking assistance all reme
dies that will act violently or reduce the strength, should be
avoided. They, instead of assisting nature, weaken and de
bllitatc those organs. For Female Complaints, take MC
LEAN’S STRENGTHENING CORDIAL AND BLOUD

females. Try it; it is a delicious aromatic Cordial.

AOTICE A AID GAUTtOJV.
THE “simple statement” of John K. Jackson, Esq., of the
3d Inst., requires from me a notice, which, from the state
of my hftilth, must, at this time, be brief
Mr. Jr.ckson is now, aud has been for several years, a Direc
tor and the Attorney of the Union Bank of this city. He
knows all about, the agreement which President Thomas pro
posed, for be aided in drawing It up. tie knows that it was
duly executed by my late brother William and myself, and
that the Banks took advantage of our reliance on their good
faith, to carry the cases against us on the docket to judgment,
Inst ad of dismissing them. Th.-Attorney of the Union Bank
(his predecessor In office,) took the lead oh that occasion, as be
said, by order of the Board of Directors. He was a member of
the Board, but In favor of complying with the agreement. The
Attorneys of the other Banks followed as a matter of courte.
cashier Davb-g, ot the i-ank of Augus'a, informed me tbs’
President Thomas applied to that Bank to uni*e in appointing
John K. Jackson, Esq , their common Attorney, to t.k--
charge of all the judgments in question. And after mj
Imprisonment in the fail of Richmond county, by virtue of
ca sa. at the suit of the Bank of Augusta, the (Jashler wrote to
me on the 14tli September, 1818, that *• the Bank gave no older
for the ls-ue of the ca. sa , but he presumes it was done by Mr.
Jackson for reasons which were de med by him satisfactory.’
The obie.t in appointing a common Attorney, was, as the
ev.nt showed, to 1 vy the execution, on the property of ti.e
heirs of Mrs. Mary Auu Harper—four of them orphans—for the
properly of f . &w . Harper had been sold, or ratner sacrificed,
mete than two years before the latter lew was made. Tali
levy was the pretext tor a compromise, which seems to have
been always In view of the plainUfis’Attornevs, rather than a
trial by Jury.
Mr. John B. Whitehead, representing all the heirs, was In
dignant at ihe n me of compromise, but was offended with me
for oppo-ingthe disgraceful one which he afterwards accepted.
The proposal for it, which I mw, was in the handwr ting of the
common Attorney, John K. Jackson, Esq. 1 must close for the
Preso'-t _ JAMES BARKER.
