“ \V r e congrntnlaia the Philadelphia American

choice of a candidate for the Presidency, and ;t is
gratifying that the selection has been made from

generally will cheerfully lend their aiJ in electing
Millard FiHmore once more to tlie Presidency ot
this Union. Wether they will do this silently,
without organization, or whether, retaining their
organization they will call a national convention,
ami that convention, by an address to their breth
ren throughout tlie State's, will recommend the
support ofMr. Fillmore, and assign reasons there
for, remains to he seen.. For ourselves,.we greatly
incline to the latter course, for reasons which we
have heretofore partially explained, and may here
after more fully set forth. At present, we have
only time to explain why. as an old-line, straight-
out Whig journal, tiie New York Commercial Ad
vertiser will lend its best aid to secure the election
of Millard Fillmore to the office for which tiie
Know Nothing or American party have nominated
him.”

SCPPLE9EVTA1Y TAX ACT.
AN ACT snpplementary to an act entitled an act
to levy and collect a tax for the political years
1632 and 1633, approved January the 9th, 1632.
Whei •eas, by the fifteenth section of the above en
titled an act to levy and collect a tax for the politi
cal} oars 1852 and 1853, R is enacted that the sum
of iliree hundred and seventy*;ve thousand dollars
shall he riased for the support of the government

the fourteenth section of said act it hits been further
enacted that to raise said sum, for £aid political
years, not more than one-twelfth of one per cent,
shall be assessed on the actual value of the property
liable to taxa: ion under the provisions of tlie above
entitled act; and whereas, hisExeellencytheGov-
(iii.i.rof this State, in a special message made to
Lie House of Representatives, has expressed his
doubts whether the said sum of three hundred and
seventy-five thousand dollars, necessary for the
support oFthe government of this State for each ot
said politttl years 1852 and 1853, can-be raised hy
the ;Jssessinetit of only one-twelfth of one per cent,
on the estimated value of the property subject to
taxat-ou under ?aid act, and hath recommended to
the General Assembly As a precautionary -measure,
ii; ease the said rate per cent, specified in said act
she: , not be sufficient to raise the said sum for said
in x.iealyears 1852 and 1853,to pass an actsnppie-
nie tory to s- i i act, authorizing him and the Comp
troller Generm.on the return bv the several tax-re
ceivers of this State of the digest of property subject
to taxation mi iertiie provisions of said act, and the
value of the s .me, and upon the examination and
footing uji of said digest, it shall satisfactorily ap
pear to them that the said sum of three hundred aud
seventy-five thousand dollars cannot be raised by
an assessment of one-twelfth of one per cent on
tlie value returned in said digest, that they may b ■
authorized aud empowered to i:icre;tse the said rate
per cent, so much, and no turther, as may be suffi
cient to raise the said sum of three hundred and
seventy-five thousand dollars as aforesaid; there
fore for remedy whereof
Section 1st. lie it enacted by the Senate a nil Idiusc
of Representatives of the State of (it or gin, in General
Assembly met,and it is hereby enacted by the authority
oj the same, That if upon the return by the several
tax receivers of this State, of their respective di
gests containing the prop rty subject to taxation,
and its value iu pursuance of the provisions as are
contained in the said act entitled an act to levy and
collect a tax for the po it!.oil years 1832 aud 1 '03,
it sliali appear to Ins Ex- -deucy the Governor and
Comptroller General of thL State upon the examin
ation and footing np of the same, that the said sum
of three bundled and seventy-five thousand dollars,
necessary for the support of the got t-rument of this
State for the said political years, cannot be raised
by an assessment of one-twelfth of one per cent, on
the aggregate value of all :uc property as returned
by sain digests, and subject to taxation, then, in
such cases, it shall and may be lawful for his Ex
cellency the Governor and Comptroller General of
this State ayd they are hereby authorized to in
crease the said rate per cent-specified in said tax
act, so much, and no more or further, than will be
sufficient to raise the said sum of three hundred
and seventy-five thousand dollars, necessary for tlie
support of the government of this State for each of

ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA
Halifax, March 12th.—The steamship
Arabia lias arrived, bringing one week la
ter intelligence front Europe, having left
Liverpool on tlie 1st instant.
The Arabia reports having seen a quan
tity of the cabin work of a vessel floating
in latitude 40 degrees 36 minutes longitude

Pcace Conference.
Three meetings of the Conferences had
been held at Paris. Although nothing was
allowed to transpire, reports w ere general
ly favorable. An armistice Lad been an
nounced to end in March, and not to affect
tlie existing blockade. It was doubtfully
reported that Russia concedes the required
limitations, but refuses to give up the pro
tectorate over the Greek Christians.
It is generally believed that when Peace
is concluded a European Congress will
meet to adjust (lie balance of power.
The excitement relative to the American
difficulty bad subsided. Mr Buchanan had
dined with the Queen.
The resignation of Omar Tasha bad
been accepted.
Russia, the Allies and Sweden continue
active warlike preparations.
A despatch received by Brown Sc Ship-
ley, at Liverpool, dated Glasgow, Feb.
27th, says that the steamer Edinburg, front
New l ork, passed on the 7th large quanti
ties of broken ice, on which were seen
pieces of cabinet furniture, 5 ornamental
doors with white or glass handles, a lady’s
w ork box, and other articles pertaining to
the cabin of a first class steamer.
LATEST.
Alarming rumors have been circulated
that Russia has raised objections, which
will break up the Conference, but they are
regarded as the mere reports of stock job
bers.
British Gulf S^iadkoj*.—A Washington cor
respondent says:
“ In connection w ith the fact that aJ.arge British
squadron is understood to l>c on the way to the
coast of Central America, I will mention that I
learned to-day that the Government of Great Bri
tain sent word to Mr. Marey, several weeks since,
the British subjects itt Central America had suppli
cated them for aid, and that they should afford them
protection. This looks a little squally for General
Walker; but if the British lion puts his paw upon
the American st eamers hound I to Nicaragua, to
overhaul thorn for men and arms, I apprehend hp
will have some of his claws pulled out. There
may be something hot besides the climate in that
region before long.
Artesias wei.i. ix Accusta.—The Committee
on Water Works of the city of Augusta, have en
tered into a contract uith Messrs. Welt (fit &
Stearns to bore an artesian well in that city, on
the’following terms, to-wit: Five dollars per foot
for the first hundred feet, and one dollar per foot
additional for all ovet that depth. In the event of
reaching rock, tlie price to be the subject of future
negotiation between the Council arid the coutrac

The Committee have located the well on the

Campbell streets.—Sav. Rep.
Baptist State Convention.—We learn from
the Journal that tlie annual session of the Georgia
Baptist State Gouvention for the current year, will
be held in this city near tlie end of the ensuing
month (April.) Tho President and Directors of

liberality, in response to an application in that be

It is believed that coffee can be cultivated in
some of our Southern States as successfully as in
Brazil, Java and Jamaica. That its cultivation in
our country would be invaluable, may be inferred
from the fact that it costs us no less than $15,700-
! H)U annually as an importation. The coffee tree,
it is well known, lives to a great age, provided - the
soil is kept well drained, and begins to bear when
three years old ; increasing in fruition till seven
years of age. It is to be hoped that the experi
ment will speedily be tried in some of our South
ern States.—Augusta Constitutionalist.
Accident on the Central Road.—Wo learn
by a passenger, that the locomotive attached to the
train due here yesterday morning was thrown off’
thftrack, about 2 A. M., near tlie 98 mile station,
by a rail placed across the ttack. Mr. Cody, of this
city, a passenger, was standing on the locomotive
at the time, aud was slightly injured. Mr. Graves,
the engineer, also bad his arm a little strained.
The report that one of the firemen was missing is
unfounded iu tact. The cars received no damage :
that of the engine was triffing.

Wilkes, President of Monroe Female University,
Mr. Zachariah McKinney of Perry, Houston co.,
to Miss Sarah S. J. Blount.
DIED,
Died—At Scotfsboro, Ga., March 10tb, 1836, in
the 27th year of his age, Dr. Bknj. F. Carter,
third and youngest son of Col. Farish and Mrs.
Eliza Carter.
Dr. Carter was a young man of uncommon prom
ise, and the expanding virtues of his opening man
hood were but the fruits of what liis boyhood af
forded an earnest.
One who lias been familiar with his early life,
takes a mournful pleasure iu recording this tribute
to his meri s. Though boru to ample fortune, and
all those gifts which too often minister to s«lf-in-
dnlgonce and pride, he was, in an eminent degree,
pure in morals, child-like, simple and unselfish in
spirit.
Dr. Carter graduated at Oglethorpe University,
among the leaders of the class of 1648. He read
medicine with Dr. T. Fort of Milledgeville, and
graduated at the Medical College of Charleston, in
1852. He settled in Murray county, where he
formed,many devoted friends aud admirers, and
was chosen as a member of the Legislature last
Fall. Scarcely had lie taken his seat in the Repre
sentative Hall, when disease hurried him to the
parental roof to lie down and die. He lav for
months in view of the approaching King of Ter
rors, and sot him3cif to prepare for an exchange
of worlds; and he has left behind him the bright
est evidence of a thorough preparation for the sol
emn event. He expressed a deep sense of his un-
worthiness as a sinner in the sight of a holy God,
and placed all his hopes on the merits and atone
ment of a crucified Saviour. To a dear friend who
was mourning the disappointed hopes which his
illness brought, he responded in the language of
tender rebuke, “Don’t inurmnr, my dear Mother,
(tod’s ways are always right and wise, and he af
flicts us in love and mercy. It is all for the
host.” He said to a friend that he would eber-
fulty welcome the sacrifice of life, and an early
grave, ii it would only be sanctified to those he
loved.
Death has indeed cloven down bright earthly
hopes and promises. But what are the transient
and fading riches, honors, pleasures of earth to
the “unfading riches” and the “crown of glory” in
Heaven. Let the moans of heart-stricken and sor
rowing mourners over his early grave and over
their blighted hopes be hashed at the consoling
thought, that his spirit is at rest on the bosom of
that Savour whom he had learned to love on earth.
Let them follow Him as he followed Christ, and
“they shall go to him, although he shall not return
to them.” Thus hns passed away one of Georgia’s
most promising and ri -iiig sons. - -
At the residence of Dr. Green in Midway, on the
11th inst., of Bronchitis and Pneumonia, Doctor
William W. Holmes, Assistant Physician of the
Stab' Lunatic Asylum, in tlie thirty sixth year of
liisage. The death of this gentleman brings not
only deep and abiding sorrow, upon a loving and
venerable father and devoted sisters and brother,
with an extensive-and highly respectable connec
tion, but involves too, an important public loss.—
Dr. Holmes was iu the most comprehensive sense
of those expressions, a good man and useful citizen,
and rarely has any man, in so brief a residence in
any community, secured for himself the high esteem
of so extensive a circle, of warmly attached friends
and commanded in so high a degree, the respect
and good will of all who knew him. His family
and friends however, enjoy tlie comforting assur
ance, that though iii the Providence of that Being,
“Who doetli all things well and wisely,” he has
been removed from the position of honor and use
fulness which he occupied here, he has gone to
the Christian’s home in Heaven, and that their af-
ilicting loss, is his everlasting gain. G.
On the 4th March, at the residence of liis son
Mr. B. F- Chamberlain, near Decatur DcKalb co.,
Ga-, Rev Remembrance Chamberlain, in the 67th
year of Ids age. Mr.Chamberlain was a native of Ver
mont; graduated at Middleburg College ; and stu
died theology at Princeton, N. J , where hi c com
panionable manners made him a great favorite with
his associates. He taught school for a season in ear
ly lifts with great acceptance and success in Ids na
tive State Af ter liis licensure to preach, he travel
ed as a missionary in Kentucky, and was a popular
and useful preacher He settled iu Burke co. Ga.,
as a pastor about the year 1822, and labored subse
quently as a minister in Madison, Morgan co., and
Butts and Jasper counties in succession He trav
eled extensively through central Georgia and or
ganized a large number of Presbyterian Churches.
Having uncommon financial and business tal
ent, lie was selected by the church fur many years
as Agent to raise funds for its missionary and edu
cational interests. He was for several years the la
borious aud successful Agent of Oglethorpe Uni
versity.
He was a man of more than ordinary taients.
sprightly and original in his conceptions, and
whilst in health an effective preacher. He was pre
eminently gifted in the power of hortatory appeals
to Christian assemblies, and was often selected at
protracted aud camp-meetings to close the exerci
ses with an exhortation—and there was a pungen
cy, a fervour, and a power in his efforts on these oc
casions which frequently had a telling effect upon
the audience, and which will never be forgotten by
tlie hearers.
He was a man of mirthful temperament and
-abounded with wit and humor. On this account his
company was sought by his acquaintances, and his
presence was {tailed with satisfaction at Ecclesias
tical meetings. In Synods and Presbyteries, when
from excited debate the feelings of speakers were
chafed by collision of opinion, and the body agita
ted hy division, (as will sometimes be the case in
the most harmonious assemblage of imperfect mor
tals) a playful remark from l.im, or a witty and
timely anecdote, often exerted a most soothing
influence in conciliating and calming the body.
He was conscientiously devoted to the doctrines
and government of his own church, as believing that
they were derived from the Scriptures, that the
power tended more than any other doctrinal sys
tem to exalt the Saviour and to humble and purify
the sinner; and that the church polity was in its
form and tendency peculiarly orderly and conser
vative,and in beautiful harmony with.and the source
of admirable civil government. But he was tree
from bigotry, and sympathised deeply with ail
evangelical Denominations, and was ready ever
to aid them in their efforts to do good.
Years, ago symptoms of disease began to develop
themselves in his system, threatening the sudden
extinction of life. In the face of these he coutin-
ed lus self-denying labors for the College he serv
ed, and never spared himself when those services
were needed. He often spoke with calmness and
composure of his probably sudden death, insist
ing on working whilst the “day lasts,” and saying
that as he trusted he was prepared by grace for his
end, whenever tlie Master should call, it mattered
but little when or where the Christian should die
provided he was ready for the event.
In a mysterious Providence, he became entirely
prostrated, both in body and mind, for some years
before his decease—until death came with its
grateful release from the toils and sufferings of
earth.
The voice of admonition from his grave to us, his
survivors is, “Work whilst the day lasts; for the
night coinctb, wherein no man can work.”

Last month at Orange Hill, IV. F., Wm. A. Har
rell, formerly of Pulaski county, Ga. Mr. II.
was a consistent member of the Baptist church, a
devoted husband, idolized father, and a man high

At the resident's of his father, Col. Farish Carter,
near Milledgeville, Ga, on Monday the 10th inst.,

The deceased was deservedly esteemed by all
who knew him, as a kind and unpretending gentle
man. He was honored by his fellow citizens of
Died, in Bamesville, Pike county, on the S5th
day of February, Mr. Charles Turner, in the
46th year of his age. He had been a citizen of his
adopted village for the last 25 years. He leaves
au affectionate companion and six interesting chil
dren, sorely afflicted by his departure.
Mr. Turner possessed a most amiable disposition,
which won the affection of his acquaintances. Ho
was a man of more than ordinary mind, of rare
judgment and unquestionable integrity. In his
family were seen those excellencies which make a
f ood master, a kind father, and an affectionate and
evoted husband.
.He was a useful citizen. To his enterprising ge
nius, public spirit and liberality, Bamesville is
deeply ^ indebted. The blessings of tho “peace
maker” ana of him “that considerefh the poor,”
are deservedly ULs. To his own injury^his gener
ous nature wan'd often prompt him to relieve tho
wants of the needy.
Four or five years ago lie professed conversion,
but a sense of unw« ithinoss prevented his connec
tion wi;h the Church. S;iib he manifested a lively
interest in Sardis Baptist Church. He w as a regu
lar attendant upon divine worship, and, under a
warm sermon, was often seen weeping with the
deepest emotion. In the early part of liis last ill
ness, he decided it was liis duty to join tlieClinreh,
and wonld have done so, had lie been able. He
told the writer and others, he had a lit..: but good
hope, and was prepared for death, fie bore his af
flictions with Christian patience. Though too irra-
tionil to give parting expressions of affection, and
assurances of heaven, yet bis friends believe he has
exchanged this world for one of eternal glory.

tions have become inert, and impurities-have been
engendered in the blood which are working their
way to the surface. SANDS’ SARSAPARILLA
is expressly prepared to remedy such cases and
should be r.t once resorted to. It will greatly stim
ulate tlie functions of the stomach and bowels to
regular and healthy action, and without nausea or
purging expel therefrom all deleterious accumula
tions, purify the blood, equalize the circulation,
promote perspiration, improve the appetite, impart
tone and vigor to the system, and gradually but
surely extirpate the disease, causing nil unsightly
excresceuses to disappear, and leaving the skin
perfectly smooth and flexible.
Prepared and sold by A. B. & D. SANDS, Drug
gists, 100 Fulton st., New York.
Sold also by SAMUEL CHAMBERLAIN,Mil-
ledgevii’.e, Ga., and by ail Druggists.
