MILLKDGEVILLE, Deo. 23d, 1847.
Gentlemen— 1 On examining this afternoon, the
Journal of the House (hr yesterday, I find that
though of imposing appearance as to size, it is
scanty of interesting matter.
On motion of Mr. Bartow, tho order was sus
pended, and the bill of Souttte was taken' up,
to authorize the liiwnasee Rail Road Company,
of the Stale of Touncwee, to extend their Rail
Road from tho Tennesseo lino to some point on
tho Western and Atlantio Rail Road, of the State
of Georgia— : U»e» bill tvas read^tho third time,
tekou up, and passed.
The bill to amend an act to incorporate the
Augusta and Waynesboro Rail Road Company,
S used 31st Dec. 1838, was alio passod, as was.
e bill to incorporate the Macon and Western
Rail Road Company, &c.and the reconsidered
bill to amend an acrio organize the Lunatic Asy-
•luinof the 8tale of Georgia, and
w . i to provide for
the government of the same. Yeas 63, nays 58.
Mr. Shockley introduced Use- following reso-
iution t ‘ '■ '

on the battle fields 6f Mexico, in defending his
country’s flag—and that his Excolleuey the Gov*
era or, cause to be transmitted to Lieut Gardner,
a copy of thia resolution. .
On motion of Mr. Baratto, the House took up
and concurred in the resolution of Senate, au
thorizing hi* Excellency the Governor, to present
to Capt. William Hardee, of the United Suites’
Dragoons, (a native of Georgia,) a sword, for
his brilliant achievements in Mexico.
' The following resolution was laid on tho table
by Mr. Tift:
Resolved, That tho Commilteo on tho Lunatic
Asylum be.instructed to ascertain and report to
this Honse, whether any person has been com
mitted to tho Lunatic Asylum, or is detaiued
there, contrary to Jaw.
The House then took up tho unfinished busi
ness of yesterday, being the report on tho bill
ibr tho appropriation of money for tbo political
years 1848 ana 1849—the consideration of which
continued until a late hour at night, when tho
House adjourned. So much for tuo House, yes
terday. • .
To-day in the Senate, Mr. Wales moved to re
consider the bill rejected yesterday, to abolish
the office of Sole Director of the Central Bank,
. which was lost—yeas 21, nays 22.
Mr. Fariss,ftrom the committeo on Internal Im<
6 rpveuient, made a report on tho memorial of
aber & Pitman, asking remuneration of tho
State for certain lumber delivered on tho Wes
tern and Atlantio Rail Rond in the year 1841,
nnd rocommending that it be referred to the
Chief Engineer of said road, for Amber investi
gation.
The Senata took up tho special order of tho
day, to-wit: the bill for the relief of Peter Treze-
vant—and, after some time spent in considera
tion thereof, tho bill was passed—yeas 28,

Jins, Ditnogan, Glenn,-Henderson. Hilliard, llai-
foid, Simmons, Smith, Stapleton, Waters, Wig

And thus has the General Assembly of 1847,
redeemed the plighted faith of Georgia, and of-
forded a worthy oxample of Republican justice.
Mr. Glenn, offered the following preamble,
■nd resolutions, Which were read and agreed to:
\ Whereas, .The Mayor and Aldermen of tho
city of Savannah, predicating tlteir official action
upon the anonymous correspondence of a pub
lic newspaper, baa cJiargea a member of ibis
•body with wantonly, through ignorance or 'de
sign, making allegation^ upon this floor, injuri
ous to the interest of said cityi and has transmitted
to the presiding officer of this body a copy of
the preamble and resolutions, orabodying said
ehargo s
. Re it therefore Resolved, That said attempt of
the municipal authorities of Savauuub, to cast
their official censure an a member of the Senate
of Georgia, is arrogant in’ its nature, unwarran
ted by the facts on which it is based, and meets
with the unqualified disapprobation of this body.
A bill to authorize the Gov.emerto appoint addi
tional Engineers upon the Western and Atlantic
Rail Rood, and for letting out the building aud
completion of said'Road was passed in Senate.—
Yeas 20. nays 18.
, The Honse has been engaged all day upon tho
Appropriation bill, and at 8 o’clock to night, when
I left to deposit this letter for the morning stage,
it Jjod not been disposed of. It was cumbered
with a multitude of amendments, on which on-
sued protracted debates.
1 left the Senate engaged npou a resolution
nominating General Taylor fur the Presidency.
Mr. Glenn, the vigilant Senator of tho 30th dis
trict, proposed an amendment, in substance, pro
viding, that he, General Taylor, was opposed to
tlje Wilmot Proviso, &c., which was rejected—
ypas 20, nays 22. So that by a negative construc
tion, the .Whig* found themselves forced to affirm
that adherence to that doctrine was not matter of
djfquaiification. This only proves that partisans
'cro soouitimea compelled to adopt a position they
never meant to occupy; fori cannot suppose any
«mo of the gentlemen voting in tho negative, fa
vor the Wifinot Proviso. I rather think it was
meant as an expression of such unbounded con
fidence ip tho General, as to exclude any proviso
that might have tho appearance of an imputation
of unsound sentiments.
Respectfully, yours,
AMANUENSIS.
Mr. Forman moved [to divido the question,
which was agreed to—and on agreeing to the pre
amble of tho resolution, the yens are 34, nays 6.
The quostion then recurred upon ugreeiug to toe
resolution—on which the yeas' are 21, nays IT.
So the resolution wai agreed to. Mr. Glenn
gave notice that lie should move to reconsider
same next morning. Tho motion has accordi

MILLEDGEVILLE. Doc. 24, (at night.)
Gentlemen:—The motion of Mr. dUmuoua in
Senate to day to reconsider tho bill passed yoster
day for relief of Peter Trezeviuit. wus lost by the
signal vote ofyeas 31, nays 31. Thus this “vexed”
question has ‘boon disposed of, aud as I humbly
mink, justly.
Mr. Waters moved to reconsider tho bill passed
yesterday, to complete the Western A Atlantic
Rail Road—which was rejected,yeas 33, nays29.
Tho motion of Mr. Glenn, to reconsider the
preamble und resolutions adopted yesterday,nom
inating Gon. Zachary Taylor for the Presidency
failed of success.
Mr. Alarks moved tho previous quostion,which
was sustained—aud on tho muin quostion, to wit,
tho motion to reconsider, the yens are 21, nays22.
It is due to the gentlemen voting throughout
against those resolutions, to state, thntthey united
in bestowing the highest eulogy on Gon. Taylor.
So fur from wishing to pluck one leaf from the
laurel wreath that a grateful country entwined
around his brow, they would ndd brilliancy to tho
halo of glory that surrouuded it. Iu the present
aspect of things, of .portentous import, they
thought it bout to await the action of tho Demo
cratic National Convention, beforo committing
themselves to any mqu, even to Gen. Taylor,
one of tho heroes who have contributed to 44 fill
tho measure” of their country's glory. It might
be for the best interests of tbo country to
support General Taylor, or it might not. The
complexion of his political principles were
not yet understood by tho pooplo. He hud
declined making any exposition of them, bo
long us the duties of his station in tho army de
manded his presence in the field to combat tho
enemies of Jiis country. Moreover ho had es
pecially declined being used as a candidate to
subserve party purposes. With all his just claims

inadvertently stated, that the motion to reconsider

Yon will sco by Uio within, the motion was made
by Mr. Wales. You will therefore please strike
out tho othor paragraph and insert that coutaiucd
ib this letter—since it plnces Mr. Wiggins in a
wrong position. That gentleman vehemently
opposed the reconsideration, in a very energetic
speech: Yours truly.
, MILLEDGEVILLE, Dec. 24th, 1847.
. Gentlemen: I had hoped that my correction
of the false position in which I had inadvertently
placed Mr. Wiggins in inf letter of jyeslorduy
. morning, would nave reached you in time to pre
vent its appearance in print—but on carry iug
my letter containing it to tho stage office at night.
I ascertained with mortification, that no stage
would depart for Gordon in tho morning, there
being no possengors.
■The following were tho transactions of the
Senate, after I left it iust night
Mr, Dunagans resolution relativo to the elec
tion ofsocond United States Senator, was indef
initely postponed—or in other words rejected
' for this session.
The Resolution of Mr. Waters, nominating
General Taylor for the Presidency, was taken
up. Mr. Glenn moved to postpono them indefi
nitely which was lost—yeas 12, uuys24.
Mr. Lawton offered the following as a substi
tute for file original resolution viz:
Resolved, Tliatwchuve abiding confidence in
the present incumbent of the Presidency, James
K. Folk, and do recommend him to the people of
'thin union for re-election^
Mr. Glenn moved to amend the original reso
lution by adding fito following Proviso, viz : Pro
vided he be in favor of file acquisition of Territo
ry in the event that Mexico cannot indemnify us
for fite wur, aud pay the debts due our citizens
m money—opposed to a national Bonk—und to
the Wilmot Proviso—and in favor of the present
Tariff. On which the yeas and nays were re
quired, and are—yeas 19, nays 20.
YEAS—Messrs. Gamp, Chastain, Cochran,
Coffee, Dunagan, Duncan, Fortnun, Fort,Glenn,
Henderson, JiHIiard, Hunt, Hnnter, Irwin, Law-
ton, Simmons, Stewart, Waters, Wiggins.
.NAYS—Messrs. Clayton, Collins, Darden,
Fariss, B. D. Johnson, Little, McArthur, Marks,
Maxwell, Moore, Montgomery, Parks, llcese,
Smith, Snider, Stapleton, Terrell, Wales, Wil
liamson, Willingham. So the amendment was
lost
The question then recurred upon receiving the
amendment of Mr. Lawton—which was lost—
Veas 13, tftys'25. WStlofri to postpone and ad-
jo ir/f ivere ieveraliy mode and lost.
Mr: 'Waters moved the previous question,
was iuMainad—yeas JW, nays 19.
which v
litn, until tho general consultation iu convention
Blioiild mature and decido the beat courso to ho
pursued. Whon freed from the restraint his offi
cial station imposed, General Taylor would, with
his characteristic decision, frankly avow his sen
timents in relation totho great agitating political
questions of the day. The democratic party, al
ways looking steadily to the great interests of tho
country, wore willing to abide the decision of
a Convention of Republican Democrats—und if
General Taylor was thcgnominco.they would sup-
jort him; and call upon their whig friends of the
South—particularly the South—to uid iu the e-
lection of any mun who should bo deemed best
qualified to preserve the integrity of the Union,
and tho just rights oftho South.
Air. Snider, from the committee on Banks,
moved to uuiond the majority report by the fol
lowing resolution—
Resolved. That his Excellency the Govomor,be
authorized and requested to appoint at his earliest
convenience a suitable agent to sell nud dispose of
the lands hold by tho Darien Bank, in the State of
Mississippi, and to turn over the proceeds thereof
to the officers of the Central Bank,to be applied to
the debts of said institution; which was agreed to.
Mr. Simmons moved to substitute the report of
tho minority, for tho original report, which wus
lost; yeas 19. nay8 20.
The quustiou then recurred upon agreeing to
the report of the committee as amended,on which
tho yeas are 20, nays 20—thero being a tie, the
President voted in die utfirmative—so fite report
was agreed to.
Gen. Williamson laid before tho Senate last
night a long ami appropriate preamble and reso
lutions, relative to tho death of Col. Echols, of
Georgia, commander of tho 13th regiment of
U. S. troops in Mexico. Being pressed for time,
I cannot copy them tq-day, but will at a more
convenient season. “ , -

bills, among some 45 or 50 others, wero passed:

ROBERT B. CAMPBELL.
W. B. ilui.tocii, Esq.
Colbctor of Customs, Savannah.
The Natlotal Intelligencer aiul tho Boundary
Question.
Tho Whig party may be considered in position
at last. Mr. Webster has pronounced in Spring-
field^Afr. Clay in Lexington, tho National Intel
ligencer in Washington, to tho tune of seven col
umns, and finally, to the lasting regret of all tho
admirers of a far-sighted and inventivo non-com-
miUuliain, our haleiioscopic neighbors of the-Sa-
vannali Republican have themselves pronounced.
As thoir first manifesto, however, was hut a re
flection of the organ at tho Capitol, a littlo more
deeply colored, pcijnfps.with allusions to “kings,”
“despots,” “Lords paramount,” “tyrauuies,” “the
orio man power,” etc., and us they have finally
transferred to their columns, verbatim ct literatim,
that portion of the Intelligencer's article which re
fers to the question of tho Western boundary of
f rexas, we proposo to devuto u moment's consid
oration to that.
The Intelligencer declares that Mexico “did not
involve the two countries in war,” “did not invade
the territory of Texas,” “did not strike the first
blow,"“did not shed tho blood ofourcitizensonour
own soil,” upon the ground that tho territory be
tween tho Nueces and tho Ilio Grande did not be
long to Texas but to Alexico. It asserts that not
only did Texas have up title, but not oven a res
pectable claim to it. Its whole argument in sup-
porf of fids proposition turns upon tho question
of possession. It seems to believe that if it can
be shown that the Mexicans wore in possession of
this territory, and not the Texans, the title is fixed
in Alexico, and not even a respectable claim ex
ists in Texas. Now tho law in reference to title
to real estate, of which “possession” has been
said to bo “nine tenths" aud which certainly is
rigid enough for all the purposes of strict justice,
falls far short of this. Admitting, for the sake
of argument that Alexico has been in possession
of the territory, doo3 this settle the right of pro
perty ? and If a defier tittle can ho shown in Tex
as, will uot the laws of nations, us woll as the
civil law of cnlighteucd countries, and tho dic
tates of common-souse decide that the soilis hers?
nud that Alexico lias been guilty of “inct
und not the United States?
A word ns to tho basis of tho title of Texas to
the line of tho Rio Grande. In 1633, Louisiana
was discovered by a Frenchman, nnd tho coun
try up to its natural boundary, the Rio Bravo,
was taken and held in the possession of the
crown of France. It thus remained for eighty
years, when, in 1702, tho country was ceded to
Spain by France. It wus coded back to France
in 1800, and in 1803 it was sold to the United
States, with file sumo boundary ns it possessed
under Spain aud France. In 1819 we ceded
Texas to Spain. Such is a brief history of the
various transfers of this territory; in every trans
fer tho Rio Grande was made its western boun
dary. Tho authority upon this point is most con
clusive. In* the old Spanish maps tho Rio
Grande is laid down as tho southern nnd western
boundary of Louisiana. In a letter iu 1804, Mr.
Madison says, that Louisiana extended westward
to the Rio Bravo del Norte,' tliat is to say, file Rio
Graude. The French .commissioners in surren
dering tlie cauutry, fix tho “ Del Norte
die boundary. In 1S04 Mr. Aradison declares
his opposition “to tho relinquishment of any
country whatever, eastward ol the Ilio Bravo.”
In 1816 Air. AInnroe declares iu a letter to Air.
Madison thut “ our title to the Del Norte, in
Texas, was us to'clear iur tho Island of New Or
leans.” Air. Joint Quincy Adams, iu 1818. said
“file claim of Franco always did extend westward
to the Rio Bravo." In his instructions to our
Commissioners, he directs “the removal of evory
Spanish military force from the north und oast
sido of the lUo Grando.” Air. Clay in his famous
Ualoigh letter snid, “tho United States acquired u
title to Texas, extending to tho Rio del Norte, by
tho treaty of Louisiana.”
This is a brif summary of tho grounds upon
which Texas has claimed to the Rio Graude. We
maintain that upon them her original •‘right of
property” in the territory between the Nueces and
tho Ilio Grando cannot bo questioned. She has
never ceded that right. She has always asserted
It—tho pimple fact of its being in possession of
the Mexicans, does not aflect it. And it will he
intmcdintely perceived that even if there were
truth and force in the arguments advanced by the
Intelligencer to prove that possession iu Mexico,
thoir power would bo entirely destroyed by tho
simple fact that the possession Nvas wrongful.
But what is the character oftho testimony pro
duced upon this point? The Intelligencer Bays
that it is not of its discovery, and cites the letter
ofMv. Donelson, Chargo d'Affaires to Texas, as
its authority. This authority refers simply to the
occupation of tho territory, and shows conclusive
ly that it was not admitted in Mexico, but wus dis.
puted by Texas. “The occupation of the country
between the Nueces and tho Rio Graude” (says
Mr. Donelson in his letter to Gen. Taylor of tho
30th June, 1845) “is a disputed question.' 1 And
this is all which can be found referring to the
point in the extracts from his letters given by the
Intelligencer. The samo letters show that ho re
garded die disputed territory as a port of Texas.
The following remarics of tho N. O. Picayune,
(a paper known to bo Whig in all its predilec
tions) furnish anablo and -conclusive vindication
ofour government from tho chargo orbringing on
the war with Alt^ico. „
Mr. Clay may 1» right in raying dint "the ini- Ifdieieport.
mediate occasion of unstmties arose out of the or- 1
der of the I’resideut of the'United States for tho
removal offije arnty unijer. Gen. Tuylor from its
position ut CnrpuB ClirisUto a point oppositeMnt-
amoras on tho oast hank of file Rio Graude j" yet
grunting this much, it does not make out the
charge af injustice. The question is, had tho
Government o right to' movo the army across the
Nueces? And this must he tested by concnPrent
facts. Mr. Clay, in his speech; asserts that in the
purchase of Florida the United States paid five
millions of dollars, and tho righttp insist upon the
Rio Grande os .flmtyesteru boundary of Louisiana
—which was,us Afr.'Clay thinks,tho true boundary
oftho French purchase. Now, the same quo*-
tioa of boundary urose in.: the* forinatioir of the
Republic of Teio&,.ft!id Mi*. Cla)* jiisfiy remarks
Taking this to bo the true state of the case, fife
Unitedi Slates had as much right to have an armed
lorco on this tfeutral ground m Mexico had<—
Now, it is a notorious .fact that Mexican armftd’
bodies had crossed the Rio Grando before Gen.
*1 nylpr was ordered,to Cross tho Nuocos. It is
also a, notorious fact that GdA; Tuylor was met dt
the ArroyO Colorado by. ftn: organized body of
Mexicans, and that ho was threatened with battle
iu case ho crossed that stream. These facts arii a
part oftho history of fiioso tunes, and if entering
file neutral territory with armed troops was an
Unjust commencement oftho war, Alexico first
committed tho wrong. Moreover, not only hod
Ctirvuial, Canales, nnd Roinand Falcon crossed
tho Rfo Grande before Gen. Taylor left Corpus
Christ!, bat American citizens, travelling .on law
ful busiuess through the disputed territory, men,
women and children, had been murdered'by the
followers of these Mexican officers,iu Buch a bru
tal manner,thntwluit was right in respect to the pre
vious acts of the enemy .became a duty on the part
of fite Government os a protection to our own
n 'o. Whatever motive may be oserjbed to
xecutivo, the act of crossing the Nueces, at
file most,wasinerely retaliatory,and at best needful
to the safety ofour citizens, nnd proper, lest the
exclusive military possession of tho country bo
construed to woukon our title in the negotiations
for a boundary. It was our duty, as public jour
nalists, to keop ourselves advised of what was
pausing in tho neutral ground at the time, aud wo
speak with knowledge on this subject.
LATE FROM MEXICO.
Nows Eight Days from tho Capital.
Wo are indebted to tho editors of tho Picay-
uua for au Extra, dated at Now Orleans, Deo. 22,
1 o’clock, P. AI.
It announces tho nrrival of the Br. West India
mail steamer Teviot, Lieut. P. Hast, It. N., Com
mander, at Ship Island harbor at 4o'c!ock, P. AL
20th inst, in four days from Vera Cruz.
Dates* from the city of Mexico to 14th inst.
clusivo, have been received by tho editors oftho
Picayune.
Gen. Patterson had reached the city of Mexi
co, having loft a garrison at Rio Frio, whore [a
periuauent depot is to bo made.
A train left the city of Alexico on tho 9th inst.
for Vera Cruz, under command of Gon. Twiggs.
Gen. Pierce is coming down with it.
Gon. Scott is said to havo issued au order ma
king a new assignment of brigades to Gens.
Smith and Cndwalndcr und Col. Riley.
Tho Mexican Congress had a quorum on Mon
day, the 6th of December, which is tho latest
date we have yet come across from Quuretaro.
Tho Stur suys many deputies wero still absent,
and six or eight others werg expected to louvn du
ring thewcek, notwithstanding tho critical state
of affairs iu which tho republic is placed. Tho
correspondent of the Alonitor thinks tho new
Congress will do no better than tho present.
Nothing oftho least interest was done on Mon
day. Tho Government wns occupied with tho
regulation oftho army. A degree was about to
ho issued on tho subjoct. contemplating the num
ber oftho standing army nt twenty thousand men.
A correspondent of tho Picayuno writes from
Alexico, (Doc. 13,) There is absolutely no news
from Querotaro. Congress docs not meet, and
thero is n rumor in town that Santa Anna has
been proclaimed Dictator there, but I cannot
trace it to any reliable source. Every thing hero
appears to favor the belief that a movement will
ho shortly made for tho interior. What division
of tlie army will take tho load, or who is to com
mand it, I cannot say, but Madame Rumor points
to tho gallant Smith, tho hero of Contreras as tho
commander.
Dec. 14.—Nothing now this morning. The
courier goes oft’ at 8 o’clock, and I send the
morning papers by hint. Gen. Scott has issued
another order, dividing his urmy into brigades,
under the command of.Gens. Smith, Cudwulader
nud Col. Riley.
Gen. Butler left Jttlnpn on tho 6th for Puebla.
The train which ho commanded had also left tliat
city. Gen. Butler was expected in Puebla
Sunday, 14th iust. with 7000 men.
The steamer Portland, Capt. Spinney, arrived
at Vera Cruz on tlie 15th inst. after a terrible pas
sage, during which u hundred horses were thrown
overboard.
Col. Bankhead and other officers commend the
captain for bis skill and coolness; and say that the
ship would inevitably v have gone down had not
the horses been thrown over-hoard, and that* a
delay of fifteen minutes would probably havo
been fatal.
Col. Buukheud, as Governor of Vera Cruz, as
sumed the command on 16th iust., and has ap
pointed Lieut. Fahnestock, 4th Art., Acti/ig Assis
tant Adjutant General, and ordered that tho
rontiue of public business bt> continued us estab
lished by Col. Wilson.
Cnpt. Jus. AI. Smith, 3d Infantry, died nt Eli-
qero on the 4th inst.
Capt. Wheat with a company of dragoons,
arrived on 9th inst. at Vera Cruz from Jainpn.
Gen. Marshall nnd stuff were met by Capt. W.
ut Plan del Rio.
Cnpt. Wheat came iu charge of ubout one hun
dred sick nnd wounded.
A gentleman who arrived hero from Los Lle-
nos do Apa, in company with Cupt. Wheat, from
Jalapa, wns robbed, as well ns several persons
who were with him, (persons belonging to the
English mining compnny.) of all they had with
them, ut u place called Rio del Norte, by tho
hruvu defmscAtrs de. la Patria, the guerrillcrofl, or
iu other words, robbers.
Capt. Wheat assures the Free American of
10th inst. that from here to Jalapa, the road is per
fectly opened to travellers, and that in parties of
three or four, it can be overrun without the least
danger,
A severe norther commenced at Vera Cruz on
tho 13th inst. Three schooners were driven
ashore; among them the Dove, from Tampico.
A correspondent of tlie Picayune writes from
Mexico, (Dec. 13,) “About 6 o’clock on Satur
day night Mr. Doyle, the English Charge .d’Af
fairs, arrived from Vera Cruz in the diligence, es
corted by Capt. Fairchild, of the Louisiana Ran
gers, and about thirty six men. They brought
neither letters or papers, however, but lost night
tlie English courier arrived, with a full budget.—
Capt. P. informs me that there cannot be less
than twelvo thousand men on the road up here.
IMPORTANT—IF TRUE.
The same writer (Dec. 10) suys—“I was as
sured-yesterday by an intelligent Mexican, and
one who from his position is doubtless correctly
informed, tliat tlie Mexican Government had de
termined to send propositions to Washington for
Commissioners to meet at Havana, nnd arrange
tlie terms of a treuty of peace, ami that these pro-
positions had actually gone down by a special
courier, who accompauiod the - train which loft
yesterday.”
The Picayune is not prepared to say how au-
Tho same writer (Doc 10) says—Tho Aloniteur
ofyesterday publishes a decree from Senor Rosa,
tho Minister of justice dud Ecclesiastical Affairs,
protesting against the solo of church property in
this city, except for tbo benefit of the Aloxican
Government nnd tho Ch'nrch.
The Free American (of tho 10th inst.) says
—Capt. Kerr, of tho Louisiana Dragoons loft'
Vera Cruz on Wednesday last, with his command
for tho National Bridge, where they. are. to be
stationed. ' f, * .

It is beginning to ho understood nmoiig the
Medical Profession, though for some reason it
would not perhaps he readily acknowledged, thut
all curative treatment, to ho effective, must act di
rectly or indirectly on tlie Nervous System.—
Now tho effect that medicines generally have
upon the Nervous System is to injure it, and
tho more they aro used the greater tho injury.
Iu many cases this portion of vital structure
has been entirely destroyed by the confined
use of drugs. VVlint then Man wc look to
whon the Nervous System is diseased / We aiw
swot—to tho mysterious but powerful agency of
GALVANISM, which alone is* found to exert
upon it tho most surprising and boueficiul effects.

The following statement has been lately re
ceived:
GENERAL NERVOUS DERANGEMENT
- New York,.Nov. 1,18-17.
To Dr. A. II. Christie: According to my prom
ise I address you, and with feelings af sincere
gratitude. For six years / liave boon a sntluror,
nud I believe none could liuvo'sutlercd more. My
disease was u complication or complaints, brought
on by- exertions to support my family, being often
obliged to work ut the needle for twenty hours
out of tho twenty-four. I was afflicted with dis
tress in the huud; my sight wus impaired, und a
general weakness seemed to prostrate my entire
faculties. I was under the cure of Dr. Stillwell,
Nn. 13 Stift’olk-Ht. nnd several other physicians,
for a long time, hut my cuse was so stubborn thut
the slightest noise would sometimos throw me into
convulsions. Sometimes I could not close my eyes
during the night, aud would walk tho room half
tlie time. For.over u year I was so deaf that I
could scarcely hear any ono speak. My life has
been constantly despaired of, aud I often wished
death to relieve iny sufferings. Such is n feeble
statement of my situation last Juno, ; when I first
heard of your Galvanic Belt and Magnetic Fluid.
On stating my cuso, you liberally presented me
with the articles. I huve worn them ever since,
und tho result is, thut I iiavk completely recw
EllED MV HEALTH. MV STRENGTH, A.VD MV SPIRITS.
My friends, my physician , nnd myself, aro confi
dent that it is owing solely to tho use of your
wonderful Belt and Fluid that this happy result
has come to pass, und I shall ever gratefully ac
knowledge it, and am now, and will he nt all times,
ready to state uny farther particulars, or to sntisfy
tiic public that my assertions are true in every res
pect. ’ Mrs. Laura Johnson,
13 Essex-st. New Yorjt (?ity.
Alatiy other certificates, of a character equally
conclusive, and pamphlets containing full details,
may he had gratis of tlie Agent. *
