Having been unanimously nominated for the office of Governor, by a Convention fully representing a large majority of the voters of the State, I do not feel at liberty to disre gard their wishes by refusing to accept the great honor thus conferred. My only desire is to be of service to the whole people of our great State, with whom my lot has been so long and so pleasantly cast, in building up her waste places and in reviving her prostrated, industrial and com mercial system, under the benign influence of a civil government, in which all her citi zens may participate. To the consummation of this object my every effort shall be devoted. The Constitution adopted by the late Con vention is before yon. It wns my privilege to aid in the formation of that instrument, and thus to become familiar with not only the letter of this fundamental law, but also Wlin llic Spitii ai»xl tl>« iuiotttinnq of tJIQHfI who framedjjit. My votes are recorded upon all its various branches, and it is therefore unnecessary for me to enter into any state mcut of iny political principles, other than to say that I stand fully committed to the new Constitution, and have an earnest desire to vitalize those great measures—the ‘ Relief ” and the “Homestead’’—and thus enable our ruined people to take courage for the future, with a full assurance that the results of their labor shall be enjoyed by themselves and their families. It will be the duty of tue General Assem- bly to provide .a thorough system-of educa tion for the State. II called by your votes to assume the exalted position of your Chief Executive, it will be my duty, and no less a pleasure, to nominate to the Senate, for confirmation, persons whose past services, well established character and ability, have secured for them selves the confidence o( their fellow citizens in their respective districts, and whose fit ness, by reason of their known intelligence and moral worth, for the positions to which they may be recommended, will ensure their confirmation by the representatives of the people. “With malice toward none, with charity for all,” looking only to the glory, peace, and prosperity of our noble State, and the perpe tuity of free, civil government throughout the land, I have the honor to be your fellow citizen, R. lb Bullock.

By Animal Magnetism we claim that the dis eased and deranged action of the nervous and vacnliu- systems gre restored to a perfect equilib rium much more readily than hy any other means known to the medical world, either in the present, or the past ages. ‘ Nature must do the healing/’ is the saying of every sensible and honest physi cian, and that “all we can do in case of sickness is to aid Nature.” This Prof. Roberts aims to do by the great science of Animal Magnetism, and that, too, without drugs! It is the only system of the medication that has God as its authority and example, or that can be sustained hy science or common sense. Consultation free.

Auditsr A, Ga., April'Jth, 1808. This is to certify that I have been paralyzed in both my legs and leftarm since July, 1860. I have been attended hy different medical Doctors of this city, without deriving any benefit from their treat ment, but on the contrary, seemed to grow worse. When Professor Roberts arrived here I was ad vised to visit him, at the Augusta Hotel, which I did. It required the assistance of three men to take mo up tlie stairs of the Hotel to Dr. Roberts’ rooms. I have taken the twelfth treatment at tlie hands of the Professor, and have been so far re lieved as to he able to use my arm as well as I ever did, und with as much power, and ran walk a con siderable distance with ease, and find my general health very much improved. All this I ascribe to the power* of Animal Mhinktism, as practiced by Prof Roberts. Signed. Michael Sullivan.

Augusta Hotel, Augusta, Ga. ) March 6th, 1868. \ This certifies that I have been u great sufferer with Rheumatism for live years, my left ankle beiug much swollen, very stiff and painful. I was treated twice only by Dr. Roberts, at the Augusta Hotel, February 18th and 18(58, and now have not one symptom of Rheumatism or pain in my body. All the medicine I had taken seemed to make me worse , and I never had any relief until 1 was treated magnetically. People may lent git ; but I have no more rheumatic paiiiu -tlmt's so. I work in the Augusta Hotel. [Signed.! NANCY MASON. Augusta, Ga., March 30, 1868. In June, 1867, I was residing in Memphis, Temi. I havo been suffering from Piles for twenty-eight years, the last eight of which I had been almost unfitted for business of any kind, and had no hope of a cure. A nephew of mine had suffered fifteen years with the same complaiul; he.went to Philadelphia, was four mouths uuder Dr. Pancost; submitted to an operation with tho knife, and was finally cured, for which ho paid one thousaud dollars, besides his expenses to and from Philadelphia. I called on Professor Roberts and received three treatments, by Animal Ma«>‘- ueticism, at his hands, and was entirely cured, and am well; yet, for which 1 paid twenty dol lars. I would not to• dhy be placed again in the condition you found mo ten months ago, and with as little hope of a euro as 1 had before your three treatments, for twenty thousand dollars.

Pehuv Davis’ Pain Killer.—We have often spoken of this grout medicine in terms of very high praise, and wc have a« often felt that all we could say in its favor would not do it full justice. It is one of those medicines of which we can speak—and speak decisively—from experience ; for wc have repeatedly taken it, and invariably with the best results and greatest satisfaction. Wo always keep it on hand, ready for an emer gency, and we regard it not only as one of the very best medicines in us.j for various ills, but as one of the cheapest, also. Its cost, by the way—that is, the cost ot the ingredients of which it is composed—has been considerably increased, but the price of tho medicine has been but very little advanced. It is not likely that the popu larity of Davis’ Pain Killer will in any measure decrease, or that the demand for it will in the slightest degree decline, until some other specific for allaying pain and curing various complaints for which it is so generally used, shall bo dis covered, of equal potency with it/—of which there seems to bo but little probability. Asa remedy for stomach complaints, such as dysen tery, diarrhoea, etc., the Pain Killer is, without doubt, unsurpassed, and every where most de servedly in demand. One, two, or three doses, of a tcaspoouful each, in a wine glass of milk and water, with a little sugar, have repeatedly, within our knowledge, effectually cured serious trouble of this kind. Judgment should undoubt edly be used in checking certain stages of diar rhoea too suddenly; but taken at the proper time, the Pain Killer will act like a charm, and frequently cure when nothing else will.— Provi dence Advertiser. jg@?*So!d by all Medicine Dealers. mh 11—2 m UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SOUTH eru District of Georgia.

R. R. Resolvent cures with astonishing rapidity every form of Chronic, Scrofulous and Skin Diseases, and exterminates all corruption from the human system. One bottle of Dr. Radway’s Renovating Re aolvent contains more of the active curative principles of tho best Jamaica Sarsaparilla, (Sarsafferillian,) than Ten of the largest size bottles of the mixture sold under the name of Sarsaparilla. The process adopted by Dr. Radway in securing extracts (prepared in vacuo,) of Medicinal Roots, Plants, Herbs, and other vegetables possessing great curative proper ties over Scrofula, Chronic, Syphilitic and all skin diseases, that enters into the com position of the Renovating Resolvent, pro duces only ONE OUNCE of the pure extract out of 20 lbs. of the crude roots. The Inert matter that enters so generally in the large bottle mixtures and prepared under the offi cinal or pharmacopeia formula, is, by Dr, Radway’s process, cast aside as One teaspoonful of the Resolvent is suffi cient for a dose for all Skin Diseases.

The annual reports of the Health Com missioners of different cities, show a great increase of deaths from diseases of the Kid neys and Urinary Organs—RADWAY’S RENOVATING RESOLVENT is the only remedy that has dissolved calculous concretion. Its SOLVENT, diuretic, lithontriptic and tonic properties exceed that of any medi cine in the world: it readily assimilates with the fluids, and promotes their exit through the Kidneys, Ureter and Bladder, removing calculous obstructions, and correcting all de rangements of these organs. i So swift is this remedy in passing into ins cir culation, that it has been detected in the urine in six minutes after it has been taken ; hy adding to the liquid when cold a few pieces of starch, then a few drops of nitric acid, the liquid will change to a blue color.
