The at empt was to have been made at about 2 o'clock lhat morning, hut iri consequence of the Mar- Klinls being over there at that time probably, it Ivasdelayed until about 4. They were to get lionev enough by this system to buy the negro, Kad then leave, it is said. This man Baker ar rived here some four or five months ago from Willed'eville, having been sent to the Peniten ■iary from Savannah a few years ago we believe. ■le is from Ohio and is said to be quite artful. ■ New Cotton. —The first bale of new Cotton fcrouglil to this market this season, was received Kn the 13th in«t. from the plantation in Houston Bounty, of Mr. J. B. Itoss, of this city. It was Purchased by Mr. J. Hollinosworth at 104 Bents per lb , and stored in the Warehouse of Messrs. T. B. Gorman &. Cos The quality was Kood Middling. It was forwarded on Tuesday Biorning in the Passenger Train on the Central Railroad, and probably went to .New York by Hie steamer which left ravannah on Wednesday Hast,and will probably arrive there to-day, being Hie first in that market. H On Wednesday, loth inst. the second bale of Hew cotton was received here from the planta ■onofMrs. Attawav, of Twiggs county, il The first bale of cotton arrived here last year on tlif! sth of August, from Mr. Ross’ plantation in Houston county, and was sold at 9 cents, g! The first halo of new cotton from Louisiana Hrrived at New Orleans on the 7th inst , and ■3 cents per lb. refused for it. Last year the Irst bale arrived there on the 12th of August.

Inaddi *ion to the above, one company of the 2d artille ry, stationed at Savannah, and one stationed at Charleston, have been ordered to St. Augustine the arrival of the latter having already been communicated to the Department. One compa ny of the 2d artillery, recently stationed at Au gusta arsenal, lias also received orders to pro ceed to Pilatki.” Proclamation. —We copy the following pro clamation of the President, from the Charleston Mercury. It was forwarded by him from Har risburg, and was received at the Secretary of State’s office in Washington, on the 13th inst. “There is reason to believe that an armed ex pedition is about to be fitted out, in the United States, with the intention to invade the Island of Cuba, or some of tho Provinces of Mexico— the best information which the Executive has been enabled to obtain, points to the Island of Cuba as the object of this expedition. It is the duty of this Government to observe the faith of treaties, and prevent any aggression by our citi. zens upon the territories af friendly nations. I have, therelore, thought it necessary and proper to issue this proclamation, to warn all citizensof the United States who shall connect themselves with an enterprise so grossly in violation of our law and treaty obligations, that they will there by subject themselves to heavy penalties de nounced against them by our Acts of Congress, and will forfeit their claim to the protection of their country. No such persons must expect the interference of this Government, in any form, in their behalf, no matter to what extre mities they may be reduced in consequence of their conduct and enterprise. “To invade tho territories of a friendly nation, set on foot and prosecuted within tho limits of the United States, is in the highest degree crimi nal, as tending to endanger the peace, and com promise the honor of this nation ; and therefore, all good citizens, as they regard our national re putation, as they respeettheir own laws and the laws of nations, as they value the blessings of peace, and the welfare of their country, to dis countenance and prevent, by all lawful means, any such enterprise. And I call upon every of ficer of this Government, civil or military, to use all efforts in his power to arrest for trial and punishment every such offender against the laws providing for tho performance of our sacred ob ligations to friendly pow ers.

Thieves in Illinois.— “A band of lawless, thieving desperadoes, with the unenviable ap pellation of Flatheads, have for some time pasj committed outrageous dapredations upon the honest portion of the population of the Southern end of Illinois. Tho band of thieves number about three hundred. “For the safety of life nnd personal property, about five hundred of the most respectable inliab. itantsofthat State formed themselves into an as sociation called the Regulators. “The aggressions perpetrated by the Flatheads becoming insupportable, the Regulators deter mined to use the most vigorous measures to bring culprits to justice. They accordingly procured writs for the arrest of ten or twelve leaders of the Flathead gang, and summoned the officers to aid them in the execution ofthe law. The Flatheads hearing of this movement, the most determined of them, to the number of about seventy-five, assembled iu a log-house, where, armed to the teeth, they determined to staml their ground, and give battle. The Regulators having discovered the retreat, came and summoned the Flatheads to surrender, which request being refused, tho Regulators threatened to charge the log house, and invited every honest man who was misled into it to leave. About twenty-six, seeing the side of justice was the strongest, left their companions in the log-house. The Regulators then charged upon the re mainder of the Flatheads, and soon put them to a precipitate flight. During the charge, twoofthe Flatheads were killed and three wounded. Three of the Regu lators are said to have been mortally wounded. The whole neighborhood is in the greatest ex citement. The Regulators, assisted by the au thorities, determined to run this lawless band out of the country, and are pursuing them in ev ery direction. A number of the Flatheads have fled into Kentucky, and others have fled ovee to the swamps.’’ Q3* The printer’s types often cut up strange capers, and, by the substitution of a single let ter, frequently play havoc with men and things. A Savannah paper, speaking of tiie proceedings of a railroad meeting, intended to say in a reso lution that they should he scut to the Mayor of Augusta, but prints it “the Major of Augusta. A New Hampshire editor, with the gallantry so common to editors in general, penning a no tice of a ball to which lie was invited, fell into a poetic rhapsody, and said “the ladies skipped along like beauteous angles (angels) from the spirit-world." [koia the SOCTHERN MUSEUM.] RKI.TGTOCS MEDITATIONS—NO. XIV. DEATH AND THE FUTURE STATE. Whilst meditating upon the plan of salvation, and the miserable condition of fallen man, I have been constrained to admire the proprietv of Paul's expression, “without controversy gteat is the mystery of godliness I” For although the All-wise Creator has appealed to our under standing, and adapted Himself to our manner of speech in His holy Word, yet our minds are so clouded by sin, and so darkened by iniquity, that we live and die ignorant of the most impor tant truths. Did ttie drunken sot, however de graded he may be, realize the fact that he was suspended by a brittle thread over the lake that burns with fire and brimstone—a sudden revolu tion would take place in his moral and physical nature. No matter how strong the tie thatbinds him to the habitual vice, the resolutions enact ed by the consciousness of his awful condition would be carried into effect. Then to obtain a thorough and practical reformation in a man's character, it is but necessary for him- to know where he is. All the world, if questioned serious ly upon the subject, will confess that they are sinners in the sight of God, yet they do not be lieve it, in the proper sense of that word. Nor can this passive information be called knowledge —for a man who is truly learned must of a con sequence be wise, and wisdom never spends her time in cherishing trifles, and neglecting things of value. Truly may it be said that the “god of this world” has blinded the eyes of the people. the subject of religion he mentioned in the bar room, it is accompanied with some hackneyed epithet and disgusting imprecation; if in the saloon of social party pleasure, it is met with a scoff; if in the ball-room, it is mocked and pointed at with derision ; and if within the fash ionable family circle, it is connected with some ungenerous allusion to the conduct of professors. Yet all there persons admit the value of religion when abstractly considered, although they thus conclusively reject it. One does not seek it,be cause it will debar hitn of the wine-cup; a sec ond will not accept it, because it holds an un limited rein upon his appetites and passions ; a third puts it off to a distant day, because it de nies him the frivolous amusement of the dance ; and a fourth cannot bear to think of it, because his mind has always associated the subject with a state of gloom und melancholy dejection. In- deed these are but a few of the numerous objec tions and excuses raised upon the mentiou of this life of holiness arid self-denial, for the Devil is always ready with the weapons of fatal delu sion. For my own part, I have never known a man so exceedingly burdened with good sense that he should need to lose any in the fumes of brandy ; nor a man possessed of such a quantity of bruins, that he should require n night’s giddy whirling to deprive him of them. As I pass along through the busy crowds, or look in at the windows where the jovial revel lers sit around the mirth-giving bowl, lam for cibly reminded oftheir awful destination. Last night, whilst the clock was striking ten, a loud shout issued from a card-table. The pack was dealt again and again, the stakes were lost and won, till fortune seemed to hover over the lead er of the party. And whilst he placed the gold en eagles in the purse, the dim spectre, death, stood over him, with the sword of disease in his hand. lie looked around a moment for a vic tim, and fixed his gaze upon the winner : he was a man of middle years, with the furrows of iniquity fully marked upon his prematurely wrinkled visage—he had listened to the sound of the church-bell from early youth, and con science often half persuaded him to go; but his friends said, “we’ll take a game of whist,” and he yielded to them—he lived upon the wind, and now must die without even that support. The Reaper looked up, and asked a question : the answer came back quickly, “cut him down ; why cumbereth he the ground ?” The destroy er strikes the blow. The man had thrown his money on the board, to play a higher game, but his hand recoiled, and his voice became feeble and indistinct, as he told them he was sick. It is but a passing pain, said they, take a warm delicious draught, retire for tho night, and to morrow you will be well. The Reaper heard them, and smiled sarcastically at their vain phi losophy. They take him to his chamber, and leave him to the dark and stilly night. Shall we approach his bed side ? His friends have forsaken him now ; they have something else to do, beside watching by the sick pillow. But he groans mournfully, and turns from side to side. No physician here to ease his sufferings ; no kindly voice to pour its consolations into his ear; his conscience is awakened, and like a voracious monster is gnawing at the fibres of his heart; twenty-five long years of iniquity and crime come marching up beforo his mind, and he sees condemnation written on the face of each in flaming characters; and the doors of Heaven’s justice are closed against him forever. Oh ! thrice wretched man ! In a few moments more the wretched spirit leaves its present place of torment, only to plunge into a deeper and a darker hell ! Oh, my God ! are these things so ? Shall I meet any of my friends at thy judg- ment bar, and see them driven from thy presence forever ? Oh let thy mercies woo them, and thy judgments force them, to the foot of the cross ! In a very little while we shall be dead. The slender trees that wave over the brow efthe si lent cemetery, will soon cast their partial shade over our graves. The falling waters will pass by, and foam and fret over the margin of the rocks, and as they sweep down towards their ocean home, will interchange a passing saluta tion with the gentle breezes that gambol o’er the flowers and shrubs upon our resting-place- The feet of strangers will press the cool and shady walks, and even the names that we have cut upon the smooth-bark trees will disappear ; we shall be forgotten, and if a sympathising re lative or friend should carve an epitaph for the marble on our tombs, the eye of curiosity wil| read it as if tho words were but the cogitations of a careless scribbler ! But, my Soul I thou art hound to a far bettor land than this ; and when the earthly tenement decays, thou hast a mansion above. ZAO. I Jlajor’s Office, Macon, June 4, 1849. The general health enjoyed by the citizens of Macon is, probably, without a parallel in any community of its size in the Union. To insure this blessing, a general state of cleanliness du ring the summer months should be rigorouslv enforced. The Aldermen of the city are here by called upon to report the names of two citi zens for each square iu the city, whose duty it shall he to co-opcrate with the Aldermen and Board of Health, to examine, at least once a week, until the 10th of October, all yards and cellars, and to require the instant removal from tho city of all nuisances and filth calculated to engender disease- Occupants of huuses are called upon to cause their promises to be thor oughly cleansed and ventilated ; and it is farther suggested, that the yards and cellars having been cleansed, should be sprinkled with lime or some other disinfecting agent. Those who are aware ofthe existence of nuisances of any kind, likely to become dangerous to the health ofthe city, should lose no time in reporting the same to the Mayor. Proper vigilance will be exer cised by the city authorities for the removal of all such annoyances. A supply of lime and chloride oflimo will be furnished free of charge, by the city authorities, to those who are unable to buy, on application at this office. Tho fines imposed by law for neglect in cleansing yards will in all cases bo enforced, when reported to this office. GEORGE M. LOGAN, Mayor.

Let Facts Speak ! COM M ENT IS UNN ECESS A R Y~ A not her EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASTHMA. Blountsville, Jones County, Ga., > August 7th, 1849. ) Dr. M. S Thomson — Dear Sir —Being under the impression that a short statement relative to my case might be productive of good to many that are now afflicted as 1 have been, and being desirous of adding my testimony in favorof your system of practice and skill in curing disease, I have concluded to give it, desiring, if you think proper, to have it published to the world. STATEMENT: In September, 1845, I was attacked with Asth ma, which continued to return at intervals, more or less frequent, for two years. I applied to some of the most eminent mineral physicians in the State of Mississippi, where I resided, but without benefit—for I continued to get worse— so much so, that from Ist September, 1847, I had an attack every night, with only five excep tions, till February, 1849. During this long pe riod of nearly eighteen months, my condition was one of terrible suffering, compelled as I was, to sit up almost all the lime trying to catch my breath, which every minute seemed as if it were to be the last ; indeed, I have been for ten days at a time that I dared not place my head upon a pillow, wheezing and breathing in a manner to have been heard over a hundred yards. Having exhausted the skill and means ofthe Allopathic practitioners, like a drowning man catching at straws,! resolved to employ a Homoe opathic Doctor, who for a time, treated my case; but alas! |ie also failed and left me in (lie verv depths of despair. In this condition I left Mississsppi and came to Georgia, and in January of this year, ns a forlorn hope, placed myself under your care in Macon. You there saw, with many "others, mv condition, which for a while,was just as described. I was reduced to nearly skin and hone, weighing only 110 lbs., my general health having suffered se verely from the repealed attacks of my fell tor mentor ; but it was not long before I commen ced improving. At first, I would miss one night, then two, then more ; mv general health also improved, until now, lam proud to say, that through your instrumennality, I enjoy excellent health— have had no attack of Asthma since the firstweekitt March, and now weigh 145 lbs., my usual standard of weight in health. Bince then, I have exposed myself during all this rainy season to all weathers, without being attacked, which fully justifies and warrants me in making tnis statement, requesting its publica tion, trusting that others similarly situated, may be admonished to cease looking for a cure where it cannot he found, hut resort at once to the means that have so happily, and in such a limited peri od restored me to health. U’itli abounding feelings of gratitude, respect and esteem, I remain vours sincerely, CYRUS L. HOLMES. (CpFor Terms, &c., see advertisement in another column. aug 18 38 IT. ©TTSLE7 & SC IT.

WHILE so much is being said and done by Gentlemen of a different persuasion, for the purpose of elevating their profession in the public estimation ; while societies are being formed all over the country, and resolutions pass ed declaratory ofthe superiority of theirsystem, and denunciatory of all and every other; while the prejudices of the past are being aroused, and the fears of the future are being appealed to; while legislative aid is being invoked, and ad verse interference denounced ; while the freedom of speech and of opinion in professional men, especially of those of the “sacred profession,” are endevoured to be curtailed, and their con duct in giving contenance to other systems de nounced as '■'painful and mortifying ;’’ vvhilo, in fine, they are placing their dependence for ele vating their profession, on societies, resolutions, denunciations, prejudices, fears, legislation, &c. &.C.; be it the pride, the.happiness, and the glory of the undersigned, to put his trust in that which is far more substantial— ''the results of his practice." These are his dependence, and to them he looks for that “professional” elevation to which he aspires ; and judging of tho future by the past, ho has every reason to believe that lie will not be disappointed. Influential bodies may rail, ridicule, and donnunce; legislation may place its ban and promulgate its anathe mas ; individuals may scandalize, backbite, and traduce, but“FACTS are stubborn things “Are cheils that winna ding, And dar ntt be dispulit”— One of which at any time, is worth a thousand arguments. On them he has laid the base, and oil them he expects to raise the superstructure ; and in accordance with usage, will still append more to the list, already bes >re the public. The following letter is from tiie Rev. John VV. Mills of the Florida Conference, of the M. E. Church South ; who without the fear of the Faculty before his eyes, dares their rebuke and accusation of guilt of “painful and mortifying” conduct, and boldly gives his experience to the world. It is too late in the day for men to school themselves into the repression of their convictions: Quincy, Florida, April 10th, 1849. Dr. M. S. Thomson — Dear Sir : With inex pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines. Since I received your Medicines, and commenced fol lowing your prescription, my health is so im proved that Ido not now feel the least symptoms of disease, my morbid appitite lefl mo on the commencement of taking your medicines: every thing I eat now agrees with me, and I am satis fied with a common meal. My Spleen was very much enlarged, and my kidneys failed to do their office when 1 last wrote you, but these are now corrected The miserable restlessness that was my lot of nights, has left me, and I now sleep sweetly ; indeed my whole system is regular and easy. So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those of them who did not know that I was taking your medicine,) were astonished on meeting with me at the improvement in my health. When I compare my present condition with my miserable condition a few months ago, I can not express the gratitude I feel toward you. 1 now enter into conversation with life, as I once did, and the same zeal that once burned in my heart for the Church has been kindled afresh, with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity and forgetfulness, ivlweli disease had engendered, and I yet hope to live long to preach the un searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some medicines left, &.C. I am, dear sir, yours grate fully, JOHN W. MILLS.
