[published by request.] Confession of Elisha Recce. The following is the confession of Ei.isiia Reece, who was convicted at the July Term of Ribb Superior Court, lß49, ofthe murder of Mrs. Elles Pratt, in this county on the 16th of May last; made at his own request in the presence of j Thomas Bagby, Deputy Sheriff; Willis If. Hughes, County Jailor; Dr. R. McGor.nr.lcK, the County Surgeon, and taken down by IV. R. DeGRAFTKNREin, Esq., at halfpast 9 o'clock,on the morning onlie day of his execution, Friday September 7th, 1849: «* I was born in York District, S. C , but left there and went to Mecklenbtlig County, N. C., where I married and remained some time. I finally left and came to Wilkinson county, in this State, where I remained for about twelve months and then removed to the Cherokee coun. j try and resided there until the first of this year, when I came to Bibb county, to the place where I was living when the crime was committed, for which lam about to forfeit my life. I am the father of seven or eight children have been twice married—my last wife is s’.ill living, and at her daughter's in Floyd county. I came to this county on the 4th of January last and rented •a house from John 11. Davis, near the residence of David Gukoanus, the father of the unfortu nate woman whom I murdered. This difficulty commenced by my having heard two mornings in succession, some person halloo at a camp near my house. The second morning I saw the wo man, Mrs. Ei.i.en I’ratt, leave her father’s house end walk up the road by the fence and go into the woods just above the camp and did not re tarn until after sun-up. I went to Mr. Guroanus' well for water and whilst drawing the water she came out the woods to the house. I said to her, in jest, that 1 had seen a sight that morning.— She asked me what sight I had seen ?—and 1 re plied that it was useless to tell her, as she knew herself Her father and her mother were present This led to a quarrel and hard feelings between the family and myself. About n week after wards, and on the day ofthe murder, I started to a blacksmith's shop, to have some work done and to have it finished by the time I should call for it. On my return from the shop I stopped at Mr. Guroanus’, to get some things I had left, and Mrs. Pratt saw me as 1 approached the gate. Fhe told me not to come in, and abused me very much. After this I went home and commenced ploughing, and old Mrs. Gurganus came, brought my things and threw them over the fence. I was drinking all this time, and when I quit ploughing, was quiie overcome with liquor. I started to Mr. Davis’, to carry the plough home, and carried mv flask to get it filled at the grocery, on my way to Davis’. I got the liquor, went to the workshop, and while there sa vv M rs. Pratt pass, going towards home. It struck me that she had been to Esquire Riley's, after a Warrant, as I had heard she had threaten ed to take me with one. I left the shop and went to Hop Davis', to see if she had the War rant. Davis had told me that if she did take me, he would gland my security. Davis told me “she had got a Warrant for lie went with her to get it.” I asked him what kind of a Warrant it was ? —and he told me it was a Peace Warrant, j then asked Davis to take a dram—lie refused —but I took one. I then told him that they I (meaning old man Gurganus and his family,) I could but get what little I had and my life too. — | After this I think I went home, got my gun, and in my way met Major Armstrong. When I got near the gate, the old man came out and ask ed me what business I had there ? I made some reply. The old man said something else—l jerked the gate open and struck him with the gun. Just at this time Mrs. Pratt ran out and I Isliot her. I went home—knew that I had done I something wrong—thought I would escape, and started—but changed my inind, and was return i 'ng home when I was taken. If I had been sober it never would have occurred. I feel resigned to iny fate, and hope it will.be a warning to all I who shall see me executed Signed, I ELISHA REECE.” The Law of Newspapers.

C COMMENT ISUNNECESSARY—Another J extraordinary case of ASTHMA. Blountsville, Jones County, Ga., ) August 7th, 1849. ) Dr. M. S. Thomson —Dear Sir —Beingunder the impression that a short statement relative to my case might be productive of good to many that are now afflicted as I have been, and being desirous of adding my testimony in favor of 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—fur I continued to get worse— so much so, that front Ist September, 1847, I bad un attack every night, with only five excep tions, til! February, 1849. During tiiis long pe riod of nearly eighteen months, iny condition was one of terrible suffering, comptdled as 1 was, to sit up almost all the time 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 iny 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 at.straws,l resolved to employ a Homoe opathic Doctor, who fur a time, treated my case; but alas! lie also failed and left ine in the very depths of despair. In this condition I left Mississsppi andcame to Georgia, and in January of tliisyenr, as a forlorn hope, placed myself under your care in Macon. You there saw, with many others, my condition, which fora while,was just as described. I was reduced to nearly skin and bone, weighing only 110 lbs., tny general health having suffered se verely from tho repeated attacks of my fell tor mentor ; but it was not long before 1 commen ced improving. At first, I would miss one night, then two, then more ; mv general health also improved, until now, lain proud to say, that through your instrumennality, 1 onjoy 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 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 be found, but resort at once to the means that have so happily, nnd in such a limited peri od restored me to health. Willi abounding feelings of gratitude, respect and esteem, I remain vmirs sincerely, Cyrus l holmes.

WHILE so much is being said and done by Gentlemen of a different persuasion, for the purpose of elevating tiieir profession in the public estimation ; while societies arc being formed all overthe country, and resolutions pass ed declaratory of the superiority of their system, and denunciatory of all and every other; while the prejudices ofthe 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 iho “sacred profession,” are endevoured to be curtailed, and their con duct in givingconteuance to other systems de nounced as '■'■painful and mortifying while, in fine, they are placing their dependence for ele vating tiieir profession, on societies, resolutions, denunciations, prejudices, fears, legislation, &c. &c.; be it the pride, the happiness, and the glow 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 ofthe future by the past, lie has every reason to believe that he will not he 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 things “Are clteils that tvinna ding, And dar na be disputit”— One of which at any time, is worth a thousand arguments. On them lie lias laid the base, and on them lie expects to raise the superstructure ; and in accordance with usage, will still append more to the list, already bes ire the public. The following letter is from the Rev. ’John W. Mil. 8 of the Florida Conference, of the M L. Church South; who without the fear of the Faculty before his eyes, dares their rebuke and accusation ofguilt of “painful and mortifying" conduct,and boldly gives his experience to the world. It is too late in the day for inen 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 1 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 appitite left me 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 I lastwrote you, but these are now corrected The miserable restlessness that was my lot of nights, lias left ine, 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 meat the improvement in my health. When I compare iny present condition with my miserable condition a few r 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,which disease had engendered, and I yet hope to live long to preach the un searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some medicines loft, &e. I am, dear sir, yours grate fully, JOHN W. MILLS. Persons desirous oftesting the efficacy ofthese remedies in their own cases, no matter where they reside, can do so very conveniently by send ing their age nnd symptoms in writing as correct ly as possible, when medicines to suit their va rious cases will be compounded and sent by mail, express or private hand.

City and County of New-York, ts William Armstrong, of the said City, being dulr sworn, doth depose and say that ho is a practical Druggist and Chemist. That some time in tne latter part of May, or first of June, 1849, a man by the name of Jacob Townsend, who at that time was a book and pamphlet peddler, called upon deponent, at the house of Mr. Thompson, No 42 Hudson-street, where depo> nent boarded, and requested deponent to w’rite him a recipe by which to make a Syrup of Sarsaparilla. Deponent further says, that he became acquainted with said Townsend at the otllce of Theodore Foster. Ksq., Hook Publisher, with whom said Townsend dealt. Thut said Towniir.ufhad had frequent conversa tions with deponent respecting the manufacture of an article of Sarsaparilla to be sold under the name of Dr Jacob Tow hsCnd. That said Townsend stated he was an old man, and poor, and was not lit for hard lubor—and w ished to make some money, in order to live easy in his old days, and 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 might not make 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 was related to Dr. 6. P. Townsend, to which he replied, that he knew Dr S. P. Townsend would be down on him after he should commence. But that he did not care for him. as ho had formed a co-partnership with men who could furnish the requisite amount of capital—and was well prepared to defend himself against any uttack that might be made on him. Deponent further says, that pursuant to the request of said Jacob Townsend, he wrote a recipe for th« manufactuic of a Syrup of Sarsaparilla, ami gave it to him. .Said Townsend observed that ho wanted to make a specimen to exhibit to his partners Jor their approval, as he wished to gratify them in everv thing, as they furnished all the capital—said Townsend also told deponent that the bottles ther were to use wei* to Le of the same si/.e and shape'as Dr. S. P. Town, send s, and deponent, at the request of said Jacob Town<cnd, went to the otjice of Dr. Jv P. Town end and procured one of his labels. And deponent further soY\that be has been inform ed. and verily believes the Syrup of Sarsaparilla, sold as Old Jacob Townsend’s, is made after the recipe fur mshed by deponent, to Jayob Townsend, aa aforesaid And further deponent saith not. „ ' , WILLIAM ARMSTRONG. Sworn to before me, this iRh day of Mav, ls-tp. C. S. WOODHULL, Mayor of the City of New York PROOF!! PROOF!!! Here i, i pruol conclusive Iliat Dr. S. P. Townsend', Sarsaparilla is the original. The following is fioni some oi the most respectable papers in this State. FROM THE Albany Kvtnliig .Journal. Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla. There probably never has been So initibiara remedy or patent medicine, as ur. ~i owTiHoada’a which was originally, and continues to be tnanufoc tnred in this city, at first by the Doctor himself and Afterwards for several years and lo the present time, by Clapp H Townsend, the present proprietors. Since the partnership was formed, ttie Doctor has resided in New York, where he keeps a store, and attends to the business that necnmulates at that point. The manu factory is in this city, and is conducted by the junior partner, Mr. Ulapp—here ail the medicine is manufac tured. Few of our citizens have any idea of the Smoknt of this medicine that is manufactured and sold. Beside, tlie sales in this country', it is shipped to tire 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 and girls, in the preparation of the medicine, making bor.es, printing, Ac , and turn out, ready for shipment, over 400 dozen per day, or nearly 6000 bottles. This is an enormous quantity. The great sale the medicine has acquired, has in duced a numbemf men to r-et un »*..i there •• ot me present time, other medicines l.u rdi.e. that are called " Dr. Townsend’s Sorsaj ariila.” One in par. •icnlar started a short time ago iu New York, is called “ UMDoctor Jacob Townsend’s Sarss;.. Lila,’' and ap parently with a view, by dint of uJio.U.iug, and the usual remedies resorted to in such ell'orts to appropri. ate the name of Dr. 8 1’ Townsend’s great remedy, and thus gain all the advantages re-uiting Iron ii-e popularity of the name which lie lias acquired for fi, by years of patient and expensive luboi-s. Dr. S. P. Townsend, formerly of this city, as ir well known here, is the inventor and original proprietor of tho medicine known as “Dr Townsand’s Sarsaparilla, *’ and wo think those persons who Hie attempting to: oil their article as the genuine, should be exposed FROM Ttrr. Jii-w York Unlly Tiilmiiei (Xp We published an advertisement inadvertently some time since that did injustice to I>r. S. I’. Town send, who is the original proprietor of the preparation of barsaparilla known as Dr. Townsend’s. Cither 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 the same name. Tins medicine was advertised in The Tribune as the original, Ac This advertiscAient also contained matter derogatory to the character of Dr. S. P. Townsend and that of his medii ine. We regret it appeared, and in justice to the Dr. make this ux planation. FROM THE ’ New Turk Daily Snn. Dr. Toivvitjsn’s extraordinary advertisemkbt,which occupies au eut.re page ol the hex, v.illi.ot escape notice. Dr. S P. Townsend, who is the original pro prietor ol Dr. Tow nseud's baisaparilla, and w ho»c of ticc is next door to ouis, wliero lie has been for sever al y ears, is driving nu immense business. He leceives no less than tour hundred dozen of Sarsaparilla per day, and oven tnis enormous quantity does not supply the demand. No medicine ever gained so gieat a popularity as his preparation ofthe Sarsaparilla, ilia edition of Almanacs for iHlh cost $.*22,000, and he has jmid the New York Sex lor advertising, in the last four years, over SIO,OOO. and lie acknowledge, that it is tlie cheapest advertising he lips lied done. This medicine is exported to the Camillas, West In. dies, South America and Europe, in considerable quantities, and is coming into general use in those count:iva, us weii as here. Swindler** Druggists and others that sell Sarsaparilla for thf genuine nnd original Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla, that is not signed by 8. P. Townsend, commits a fraud, and swindles tiie customers. Men that would he 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 Tovvnsi nil. Some people who are not well informed, and have not read tlie papers, and not seen our advertisements, have been led to suppose, that because these men ad vertise their etc? as ’■ Old Jacob Townsend*,” that it must, of course, he the original. It is less than one y ear since they commenced to make tiieir medicine Ours has been in the market over ten years. This Olil Jacob Townsend They are endeavoring to palm off on the public as an old Physician, Ac. He is not a regular educated Physician, and never attempted to manufacture a nied* icine, until these men hired him for the n-e of bis name. They say they do not wisli the people to be lieve that tiieir Sarsaparilla is ours, or the same—but the better to deceive the public, they at the sume tim* assert that their’a is the Old Dr. Tow nseud’s, and the original ; and endeavor to make the people believe ’’’ *t the stuff they manufactuie, is the Dr. Townsend s ssaparilla, that lias performed so many wonderful ares for tlie past ten years, and which has gained a .vpntation which no other medicine ever enjoyed— which is a base, villainous, unprincipled falsehood. We have commenced suits against these men fu; damages. We wish lttobe understood, that the old man is no relation to Dr. Townsend wiiatev or. In tliei-i ad veitisenients and circulars, they publish a number of gross falsehoods respecting L’r. Townsend. «Uicii v. iii not notice. False Reports. Onr opponents have published ia the papers, that Dr. 3. P. Tow nsend Was dead. This thev send to their agents about the country, who report that we Uav* given up business, Ac. Ac.
