MACON, G A . SATURDAY .MORNING, SEPT. 15,1849. gj-It will be seen by reference to the notice jn another column, that there will be a meeting of the citizens at the Council Chamber this morning at 10 o'clock, to determine whether the Citv shall subscribe fur Stock in the .Macon and Madison Railroad. Those who are interested in the decision which may be made will doubt less attend and take part in the deliberations. jj-y We notice in the July number of‘Wright's Casket,’ published in Philadelphia, an editorial article copied from the ‘Southern Museum’ head ad “The Influence of Woman," without credit ing the same. This is what we call wrong Mr. Wright, by just two words. Mass Meeting or the Sons of Temperance. A grand jubilee of the Sons of Temperance will be held in this city on the 241 h of October next, at which time an address will be delivered by the Rev. Dr. A. Means, of Oxford ; and a Prize Banner will be presented to that Division having the largest number in procession, in pro portion to their number of Members, and the distance and convenience of travel. All are in vited to come. [py James N. Bethune, Esq. has retired from the editosiul department of the Columbus Times, and is succeeded by John Forsyth, Esq. Chatham Nominations. —The Whigs have nominated Judge Wm. Law, for Senator, and Messrs. R. R. Cuyler and F. S. Bartow, for Representatives. The Democrats have nominated Mr. Thomas Purse for Senator, and Messrs. John W. An derson and G. P. Harrison, for Representa tive*. (EfThe man Heath, mentioned in our last as having stolen leather from Mr. Wikship, was tried, convicted and sentenced last week at For syth, by Judge Floyd, to four years imprison ment at hard labor in the Penitentiary. Tile Aliducliou Case. The Columbus Enquirer, of the 4th inst. in alluding to the late abduction case at New Or leans, after paying some compliments to the Gov ernment as well as those editors who expressed the opinion that Rey should he brought hack, 6ays : “ Let us explain what we mean. Some years ago* man by the name of Stevenson, had com mitted an offence against the laws of England, and fled to this country. There was no treaty stipulation for the mutual surrender of fugitives f-om justice. Stevenson was arrested in Geor gia,sent to N York,and shipped hack toEngland. This was as cl ear a case of abduction as the one that has recently happened. English officials came upon our soil and took the fugitive hack to his punishment. Every body agreed that it was right. We heard nothing then ofan insult offer ed to the laws of this country—nothing about a violation of the national honor—nothing of demanding him hack from the power of England _ llis pursuers took him home, he was tried for the crimes he had committed, found guilty, and punished. We do not say that this acquiescence was proper, we only say that it was not deemed prudent to kick up a low with England fur so small an outrage.” We make the above extract simply to correc t an error that the editor of the Enquirer has com mitted in alluding to the abduction of Stevenson by stating that “every body agreed that it was right.” We resided in Savannah at the time, and as well as we recollect, the following is a pretty correct version of the affair—ln the fall of 1828 or '9, Rowland Stevenson absconded from Liverpool, and arriving at New York, took passage in a packet fur Savannah, where he suc ceeded in landing, and passing through the city in disguise, proceeded to a farm about twelve miles in the country. Tile Sheriff ofthe county at the lime, assisted by some others, \v hose names we omit, having learned that a reward of ill,ooo had been offered for said Stevenson, pursued, captured and at a late hour in the night placed him on board of a pilot boat, and some of the party curried him to New York, where the re ward was refused to ho paid, and the fugitive brought up by habeas corpus, and we think dis. charged, and made his escape. On those facts being made known, a very great excitement pre vailed throughout the community in Savannah, and tht perpetrators ofthe crime came well nigh being mobbed. But they were hound over to appear at the next Superior Court of Chatham county, to answer for the offence. After an in- 'litigation of the matter, with all the personal popularity of ihc Sheriff, and his accomplice, wliic/i was very great ut the time, they were convicted and sentenced the former to be impri •oned one year in the Penitentiary, and pay a fine of one thousand dollars—and the latter to fie imprisoned for six months and pay a fine of fi'ehundred dollars. It is true Gov. Gilmer feleased them from the Penally, but their popu lari*J was ever after completely destroyed. " e notice this affair only to show that the People of Savannah did not then, as they would not now, tolerate any such violation of law—and 1 the editor of the Enquirer never heard any thing ofthe excitement that prevailed at the We ,n ustattribute it to the fact that then, no 1 ”' many of our citizens were more conver l,nt tfio transactions in New York or Livor- P "°’’ ,ha " ‘hose of Savannah.

The Christian's Political Duties. In times like these, when numerous questions of extraordinary importance are underdiscu*sicu, and the rapid extension of intelligence brings them home to every family and social circle, it is very important that religious persons should come to a full decision as to the line of conduct which they ought to pursue, so as not to fail in their duties as members of civil society, and yet not to be entangled in unprofitab’e turmoils and party jangling*. We refer of course, chiefly to persons in private life, who are not of necessity obliged to take an active part in public proceed ings, although the spirit of the remark applies to all. In coming to a right decision, it ought to be considered, on the one hand, that questions of extensive political interest are not, of neces sity, alien to the thoughts of a well regulated religious mind, as they involve the peace and happiness of society', and hear not remotely even upon higher interests than those of the passing scene. There is nothing in the spirit of Chris tianity, that renders it unlawful for a Christian to feel deeply interested in events which relate to the destinies ofStates and Empires, nor even in the case of the members of the sacred profession does an individual, in becoming a minister of religion, cease to be a man and a citizen, or for feit any privilege which he before possessed as a member of civil society. He is not, indeed, to he so much engrossed in things temporal, as to forget the paramount importance of things eter nal, but is to view the flitting scenes of an evan escent life with the eye of a Christian, not per mitting his affections to centre in “the things that perish in the using,” hut studying the modera tion enjoined by the Apostle Paul. Yet, while this Christian moderation forbids the virulence and entanglement of partizanship, and limits within weil regulated bounds, the just interests which every Christian should feel in important secular pursuits, varying according to his particular station and duties in life, wheth er as a statesman or private individual, there is nothing, we repeat, in Christianity, or in the highest elevation of a devout spirit, that ought to render any man indifferent to the important scenes which are passing around him ; and in this respeet it is to be lamented, that many of those who are best qualified from their charac ters and attainments to interpose in the affairs of State, shrink from a public duty, lest it should he accompanied by peri! and temptation ; as if the providence of God had intended that legisla tion, government, and the whole economy of political and national intercourse, should be con ducted by those who are morally least fitted for it; or as if, because the Christian is not to make the present world his final home and resting place, he is to retire to the abstraction of his clos et, or the indolence of a cell, and to shun that share of responsibility in the great movements oftlie world, for which his abilities fit him, or which his station requires of him. The very circumstance that he is alive to his moral ac countableness, and is anxious to escape the “cor ruptions that are in the world,” and feels it a duty to avoid the snares of ambition and the turbulence of interested strife, is powerfully in favor of his salutary interposition for the gene ral welfare ; not burying his talent, or willingly leaving to less scrupulous spirits the whole regu lation of the public weal or wo- In this respect some good men have betrayed a culpable degree of moral cowardice ; flying where they should have manfully contended, and sacrificing the public welfare to personal ease and indolence. Christians ought not to survey with a careless eye, the great events which are ever passing on the arena oftlie world, and instead of endeavor ing to benefit their generation, retire within themselves in self indulgent abstraction, leaving in this sense, “ the potsherds of the earth to strive with the potsherds of the earth," heedless of the momentous transactions wiiicii are passing around them ; caring little for war or peace ; inquiring not whether the laws are good or had : nor turning aside to reg-rd with the smallest concern, the condition ofempires, the vast to tality of their fellow beings, if only they can quietly read and meditate in an unmolested cor ner. This surely is not the duty of a Christian citizen ; and it certainly derives no sanction from the Bible, a very large portion of which is occupied with topics of legislation, political his tory, and other matters connected with the social weal. \Ve would not he understood in these remarks, as desiring a union ofChurch and State —hut only wishing good and competent men to make and administer our laws. Prolific Cotton. — The Forsyth Bee. oftlie 12th inst says : “Abner R. Hill, Esq., of this county, exhibited to us a few days since, a Cotton stalk, which wo consider a perfect curiosity.— Mr. Hill assured us that there were between 650 and 700 bolls, blooms and forms upon it, and from its appearance we do not doubt it. The bolls aro of good size, and the lint of excellent quality. The seed were introduced into this county by Mr. IL, and on good land will produce from 3to 4,000 lbs. per acre. Mr. John T. Col lier planted three-quarters ofan acre of the seed this year, and ho informs us it will make him 3,000 lbs. of cotton.” The Seed of this Cotton can bo obtained by applying to J. W. Knott, Esq., of this city. Keep Cool. —An experiment has recently been tried at sea to render the insipid water ta ken from the casks cool and refreshing, which proved entirely successful. A wine bottle was procured, which being filled from the cask and corked tightly, was lowered into thirty or forty fathoms of water by means of a lead. Upon be ing returned after an interval of about five min utes, the temperature of its contents was found to be considerably reduced ; in common parlance it was almost as cold as ice water. uJ'Gien.

CIO M ME NTISUN NEC ESSARY-An other J EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASTHMA. Bloontsyili.e, Jones County, Ga., ) August 7th, 1849. 5 Dr. M. S. Thomson— Dear Sir —Being under the impression that a short statement relative to my case might he productive of good to many that are now afflicted as I 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 iu 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 time trying to catch my breath, which every minute seemed as if it were to he 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 of the Allopathic practitioners, like a drowning man catching atstraws,! resolved to employ a llouicc opathic Doctor, who for a time, treated my ease: hut alas ! he also failed and left mo in the very depths of despair. In this condition I left Mississsppi andcame to Georgia, and in January of this year, as a forlorn hope, placed myself under your care in Macon. You there saw, with many others, my condition, which for a while,was just as I was reduced to nearly skin and hone, weighing only 110 lbs., my general health having suffered se verely from the repeated 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 ; my 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 first week in March, and now weigh 145 lbs., my usual standard of weight in health. Since then, I have exposed myself during all this rainy season to ali weathers, without being attacked, which fuilyjustifies 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 be found, hut resort ut once to the means that have so happily, and in such a limited peri od restored me to health. With abounding feelings of gratitude, respect and esteem, I remain vours sincerely, CYRUS L HOLMES.

ItS 0.-V, M D., Macon, Georgia. so much is being said and done by * Gentlemen of a different persuasion, for the purpose of elevating their profession iu the public estimation ; while societies are being formed all over the country, and resolutions pass ed declaratory ofthe superiority of their system, and denunciatory ot all and every other; while the prejudices ol the past are being aroused, and the fears of the future arc 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 ol those of the “sacred profession,” are endevoured to he curtailed, and their con duct in giving contenance to other systems de nounced as “ painful and mortifying while, in fine, they are placing their dependence for ele vating their profession, on societies, resolutions, denunciations, prejudices, fears, legislation, &c. be it the piide, the happiness, and the glory of the undersigned, to put his trust in that which is far more substantial—“t/ic results of his practice." These are his dependence, and to them lie looks for that “professional” elevation to which he aspires ; and judging of the future by the past, he lias every reason lo believe that lie will not be disappointed. Influential bodies may rail, ridicule, and donounce; legislation may place its ban and promulgate its anathe mas ; individuals may scandalize, backbite, and traduce, but“FACTS are stubborn tilings:” “Are clieils that winna ding, And dar na he disputit”— One of which at any time, is worth a thousand arguments. Oil them lie lias laid the base, and on 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 the Rev. John W. Mil.s of the Florida Conference, of the 31 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 the day for men to school themselves into the repression of their convictions : Quincy, Florida, April 10lh, 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 I do not now feel the least symptoms of disease, my morbid appititc 101 l mo on the commencement of taking your medicines: every thing 1 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 tnc, and I now sleep sweetiy ; 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 1 feel toward you. I 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, which disease had engendered, and 1 yet hope to live long to preach the un searchable riches of Christ. 1 have yet some medicines left, &c. I am, dear sir, yours grate fully, JOHN W. MILLS. Persons desirous oftesting the efficacy oftliese remedies in their own cases, no matter where they reside., can do so very conveniently by send ing their age and symptoms in writing as correct ly as possible, when medicines to suit their va rious cases will he compounded and sent by mail, express or private hand.

That some time in the latter part of May, or first of June. 1848, a man by the nam* of Jacob Townsend, who at that time was a book and pamphlet peddler, called upon deponent, at the house of Mr. Thompson, No. 44 Iludson-street, where depo nent boarded, and requested deponent to write him a recipe by which to make a Syrup of Sarsaparilla. Deponent further says, that lie" became acquainted with said Townsend at the office of Theodore Foster* Ksq., book Publisher, with whom said Townsend dealt. That said Townsend had had frequent conversa tions with deponent respecting the manufacture of au article of Sarsaparilla to he sold under the name of Dr Jacob Townsend. That said Townsend stated he Was An old man, and poor, and was not fit for hard labor—and wished to make some money, in order to live easy in his old days, anti that, if Sarsaparilla under the name of Town send sold so well, and so much money was made by it, he could see no reason why he niicht not mako something out of it too, (his name being Townsend,) if he could get a capable person to prepare a recipe, and manufacture it lor him. Deponent in one of the conversations asked said Townsend if he w as related to Dr. 8. P. Townsend, to w hich he replied, that lie knew Dr. 9. P. Townsend would be down on him after he should commence. But that he did not care ffir him, as he had formed a co partnership with men who could furnish the requisite amount of capital—and was well prepared to defend himself agilinst any attack that might be made on him. Deponent further says, that pursuant to the request of said Jacob Townsend, he w rotfc a recipe for the manufacture of a Syrup of Sarsaparilla, aud gave it to him. Said Townsend observed that he wonted to make a specimen to exhibit to his partners for their approval, as he wished to gratify them in every thing, as they furnished all the capital—said Towns,end UlsJ told deponent that the bottles they were to use were to be of the same sue and shape as Dr. i>. P. Town send’s, aud deponent, at the lotjuest of said Jacob Townsend, went to the office of Dr. S. P. Townsend, ami procured one of his labels. And deponent further says, that he has been inform ed, and verily believes the' S> t up of Sarsaparilla, sold as Old Jacob Townsend’s, is made after the recipe fur uisUed by deponcut, to Jact>b Townsend, as afoitadid.

Iloro is prn.it conclusive that Dr. .s. p. Townsend’, Sarsaparilla is the original. The following is Iron! •oiuc of the most respectable papers in this State. FROM THE Altmny Evening .lofirnhl. Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla. There probably ilever has been so popular a remedy, or patent medicine, as Dr. Towusends’s Sarsaparilla, which was originally, and continues to be manufac tured in this city, at first by the Doctor ljimself, and afterwards for several \ ears and to the present time, by Clapp & Townsend, (lie present proprietors. Since the partnership was formed, the Doctor has resided id New York, w here he keeps a store, and attends to the business that accumulate-, at that pbiiit. The manu factory is in (his city, and is conducted by the junior partner, Mr. Clßpp—here ali the medicine h; manufac tured. Few of cur citizens have any idea of the amount of this medicine that is manufactured and sold. Besides the sales iu this country, it is shipped to the Canadas, West India Islands, South America, and even to Eu rope, iu considerable quantities. At the manufactory they employ a steam engine, besides a large number of men, women aud girls, in the preparation of the medicine, making boxes, printing, See , and turn out, ready for shipment, over 400 dozen per day, or nearly •6000 bottles. This is au enormous quantity. The great sale the medicine hog acquired, has in duced a number of men to get up imitations, and there is at the present time, other medicines for saie, that are called “ Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla.” One in oar ticulnr started a shoit time ago in New York, is called " Old Doctor Jacob Townsend’s Sarsaparilla,” and ap parently with a view, by dint of advertising, and the usual remedies resorted to in such efforts, to appropri ate the name of Dr. S. P. Townsend’s great remedy, and thus gain all the advantages resulting from tiio popularity of the name which lie has acquired for ft, by years of patient and expensive labors. Dr .s. r. Tow nsend, formerly of this city, os is well known here, is the inventor oml original proprietor of tho medicine know n as “ Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla.” and w e think those persons who are attempting to sell their article as the genuine, should be exposbd FROM THE \tvv York Dally Tribune; $7- We published an advertisement inadvertently some time since that did injustice to Dr. S. P. Tmvii •end, who is the original proprietor of the preparation of Sarsaparilla known us Dr. Townsend’s. Other parties have within the past few months engaged or connected themselves with a man by the name of Townsend who put up a medicine and calls it by tho same name. This medicine was advertised in The Tribune as the original. &c. This advertisement also contained matter derogatory to the character of Dr. S. P. Townsend and that of his mcdicinfe. We regret it appeared, and injustice to the Dr. make this ex* planatioa. FROM THE Nrw York Dolly Stitt. Dr. Tow w.nb’s extraordinary advertisementwhicli occupies an entire page of the Si n, will not escape notice. Dr. S. P. Tow nsend, who is the original pro prietor of Dr. Townsend's Saisapaiilla, and whose-01- lice is next door to ours, where he has been for sever al years, is driving an immense business, lie receives no less than four hundred dozen of Sarsaparilla pet day, and even this enormous quantity doe* not supply the demand. No medicine ever gained so great a popularity as his preparation of the Sarsaparilla. His edition of Almanacs for 1819 cost s>-J2,U00, and ho has paid the New York Sun for advertising, in tho last four years, over SIO,OOO, and lie acknowledges that it is th* cheapest advertising he has had done. ThiS medicine is exported to the Canadas, West In dies. South America and Europe, in considerable quantities, and is coming into geneial use in those countries, as well as here. Swtndlei'f. Druggists and others that sell Sarsaparilla for th# genuine and original Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla, that is not signed by S% P. Townsend, commits a fraud, and swindles the customers. Men that would bo guilty of such an act, would commit any other fraud —and no Druggist of common intelligence but knows that ours is the only genuine. Old Jacob Townsend; Some people who are not well informed, and have not read the papers, and not seen our advertisements, have been led to suppose, that because these men ad vertise their fctuii a* “ Old Jacob Townsends*” that it must, of course, be the original. It is less than ono year since they commenced to make their medicine Ours has been iu the market over ten years. Till* Old Jacob Townsend. They are endeavoring to palm ott on the public aa an old Plij sician, fcc. He is not a regular educated Physician, and never attempted to manufacture a med icine, until these men hired him for the use of his name. They say they do not wish the people to be lieve that their Sarsaparilla is ours, or the same—but the better to deceive the public, they at the same time assert that their’s Is thfc Old DF Townsend’s, and the original; and endeavor to make the people believe *1 *t the stuft they manufacture, is the Dr. Townsend’s IHjsaparillo, that has performed so many wonderful •ares for the past ten years, and which has gained a .eputation w hich no other medicine ever enjoyed— which is a base, villainous, unprincipled falsehood. We have commenced suits against these men for damages. We wish it to be understood, that the old man is no relation to Dr. Townsend whatever. In their ad vertise nrents and circulate, they publish a number of gioss falsehoods respecting Dr. Townsend, which we will not notice. False Raperts. Our opponents have published in the papers, that Dr. 8. T. Tow nsend was dead. This they send to their agents about the country, who report that we have given up business, Ac. kc. The public should be on their guard, and wot be deceived by these unprinct* pled men. KIBBEE & DICKINSON, Agents, Macon
