You delightful little kretur When j'ou read these wurds I write, How in chains of lnv yotjive bound me Most abominashun tight, Don’t close tip your heart’s hatches Unless I’m first stowed under; And then my sweet-pertater, Shet ’em—shet ’em qickcv’n thunder. I hev tumbled on the waters, And I’ve travelled on the shore; I heve met with many a fair one And may meet with many more ; But I never yet hev seed her, As could teeh the spot like you, And make a feller feel as £f he was shot thru and thru. The last look that you gin me Was what did the business up, For it fixed me like a fly as Is in merlasses stuck.

I’ve got some rusty shiners Stowed away in the old chest; I’ve got a handsome dress coat And I’ve got a fancy vest; A gal called me good lookin When she didn’t think me near , I go tu meetin Sundays, And am six feet in the clear. Now, my sweet darlir. Nancy, When these toucliin lines you see, Your heart within your buzzttm Will say, that’s the chap for me.

An Englishman who was lately travelling on the Mississippi river, told some rather tough stories about the Loudon thieves. A Cincinnati chap, named Case, heard these narratives with a silent but expressive humph, and then remarked that he thought the western thieves beat the London opera tors all hollow. “How so?” inquired the Englishman, with sur prise. “Pray, sir, have you lived much in the west?” “Not a great deal. I undertook to set up a busi ness at the Desmoines Rapids a while ago, but the rascally people stole nearly everything I had, and fin ally* a Welch miner ran oft’with my wife. “Good God!” said the Englishman —“and you never found her?” “Never to this day. But that was not the worst of it.’’ “ Worst! Why, what could be worse than steal ing a man’s wife ?” “ Stealing his children I should say,” said the im placable Case.” “ Children!’’ “Yes ; a niggar woman who hadn’t any of her own, abducted iny youngest daughter, and sloped and joined in the Ingin>.” “ Great heavens! Did you see her do it!” “ See her ? Yes, and she hadn’t ten rods the start of me; but she plunged into the lake and swam like a duck, and there wa’nt a canoe to follow her with.” The Englishman laid back in his chair and called for another mug of ass-an-ass, while Case smoked his cigar and credulous triend at the same time, most re morselessly. “I I sha’nt go any further west—l think” at length observed the excited John Bull. “ I should not advise any one to go ” said Case quietly. “Mv brother once lived there, but he had to leave, although his business was the best in the country.” “ What business was he in, pray ?” “Lumbering —and a saw mill.” “And they stole his lumber! ’ : “ Yes, and his saw logs too.” “ Saw logs!” “ Yes. Whole dozens of flue black walnut logs were carried oft in a single night. Lrue upon nn honor, sir. lie tried every way to prevent it \ had men hired to watch his logs ; but it was all of no use. the would whip em away as easily as it there had been nobodv there. They would steal them out ot the river, out ot the cove, and e\eu out ot the mill ways.” “ Good gracious!” “ Just to give you an idea how they can steal out there,” continued Case, sending a sly wink at the listening company,” just to give you an idea —did you ever work in a saw mill! ’ “ Never.” “ Well; my brother, one day bought an all-fired fine black walnut log —four feet three inches at the butt and nos a knot in it. He was determined to keep that log, any how, and hired two Scotchmen to watch it all night. Well, they took a small jemi jon of whiskey with them, snaked the log up the side hill above the mill, and built a fire, and then sot down on the log to play keerds, just to keep awake you see. ’Twas a monsus big log —bark two inches thick. Well, as I was savin’, they played keerds and drank whiskey all night, and as it began to grow light went to sleep, a straddle the log. About a minute after day light, George went over to the mill to see how they get ou, and the lay teas gone ” “Andthey setting on it?” “ Setting on the bark. The thieves had drove an iron wedge into the butt eud, which pointed down hill, and hitched a yoke of oxen on, and pulled it right out, leaving the shell and the Scotehers setting a straddle of it, fast asleep.” The Englishman here rose, dropped his cigar stump into°the spittoon, and.looking at his watch, said he thought he would go on deck and see how far we’d be down the river before morning. An anecdote is told of Gov. Jones, of Tennessee, which is too good to be lost. Whilst making a speech some two years since, a rowdy fellow hissed him. Immediately the cry —‘turn him out, turn him out’ arose from various parts of the crowd. Just at the ti me an ass near by commenced bray ing, when the Governor remarked to the audience ‘let him alone, gentlemen, his father is calling him and lie will soon leave.’ Hadn’t nothing but Inuens.—A gentleman once upon a time enquired of the proprietor of a vegetable shop if he had any ‘onions.’ ‘Onions, onions,’ repeated the puzzled vegetable dealer, ‘on ions I no sir I believe not.’ After the gentleman had left, the perplexed vegetable man scratched his head for a moment, and then, its if struck with a sudden solution of the mystery, exclai med—‘l wonder if the darned eternal ignorant fool didn't mean ingens ?’ A facetious old gentleman, who has two sons remarkable fond of hunting and shooting, very sarcastically distinguishes ” them by tlic appellation of Nimrod and Ramrod. One of the best cross-bow shooters is a lady. She feeds on arrow root. This probably accounts for it. He who gives for the sake of thanks, knows not the pleas ire of giving. j) agu i n aeo t j pug.

Macon, June 14, 1850. 12—ts Dr. deGRAFFENRIED’S CELEBRATED RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. IN introducing this medicine to the people of the t nited States, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. de Graffenried, its discoverer and inventor: The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this medicine for the last twenty-two years, in all forms of Acute and Chronic Rheu matism, with a success unparalleled in the annals of ot medicine: and he has no hesitation in saying, that it is decidedly the most valuable remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most painful and dis tressing malady. His note-book contains upwards of three hundred cases, in which it has been used within the above named period, and in no single instance has it come to his knowledge, of its having failed to effect a cure when persevered in. Many of the casts? were from four to ten years standing; and what may appear yet more remarkable and extra ordinary, is, that when the patient has been once relieved, the disease is permanently cured, remains so, not a solitary instance having been reported, to him of its return. All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impartial and patient trial, for the results he entertains ho apprehension. l T p to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well studied the origin, progress and character of this disease, and is well assured, It ad consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been translated into the English language, and had used all the remedies of any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering humanity. It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians and burgeons of our own, and of every other country. Rut the un dersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all others have failed, and that he shall have been an humble instrument in the hands of God, of relieving the human family of a vast amount of suffering. E. L. dc GRAFFENRIED, M. D. CERTIFICATES. FROM col. a. k. aver. Dr. E. L. dc Graffenried —Learning that you are about to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic Lin iment, I take pleasure in stating lhal 1 believe it one of the most valuable remedies ever used for that common and most distressing disease, having witnessed its effects upon a ne gro man of mine, who had been afflicted for four years, un til almost every joint was enlarged, and the body otherwise emaciated. By the use of four or five bottles, in three weeks, he was relieved entirely from pain. Columbus, Ga., Oct. 24, 1849. A. K. AYER. Columbus, October 30, 1813. Dear Sir—About the first of April last, l came to Colum bus to get medical assistance, and was advised to call on you as having a remedy that would aflord me speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints, so badly, that I could not pull off my shoes without aid ; nor could 1 ascend or de scend steps, or pull off my clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand were nearly useless ; the fingers con tracted and swollen ; the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not bend it but very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all the time in suffering and pain ; 1 rubbed with yonr Rheumatic Liniment my limbs three times, and was tlie next morning enabled to descend a long flight of steps, without aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l could also bend my knee and bring it tip to the chair, which the previous day, 1 could not have done if my life had de pended on it. 1 could also use, open and bend my fingers, which was an impossibility the day before. 1 rose in the moruing from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheumatic Liniment, | and in ten days, 1 was relieved. 1 would not have been in I the condition which 1 had been ten days before 1 called on i you, for any amount of money that could be given me ; for what is life worth when in constant pain and misery ! I consider your Rheumatic Liniment, the most valuable med icine in the world. I am, dear sir, your friend, J. 11. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 1849. Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a stiff ueck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or seven years, and could not turn her neck except witli the body. I was induced to purchase a bottle of j our Liniment, which was applied in August or September of 1848. One bottle entirelj’ relieved her and she now has the use of her neck as well as ever she had ; and up to this time it has not return ed. * GARLAND B. TERRY. Philadelphia, Feb. 1, 1850. i Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted, for j some time past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism, and j having heard of the wonderful effects of your Rheumatic j Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it, and after three ’ daj’s, I was so much relieved as to he able to leave the house I and attend to business. 1 have perfectly recovered from the disease, and would cheerfully recommend the Liniment to all those who are afflicted. GEORGE IIOOD, 27 Powell st. Columbus, Ga., Oct. 13, 1849. Dr. E. L. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: Agreeable to your request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of your Lini ment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being attacked in one joint of my finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and having used many of the unnumbered prescriptions for its cure, with but little benefit. I made application of two bottles of your liniment, which l am happy to say relieved me in a very short time. 1 can recommend its use to all persons af fected in like manner. Very respectfully, F. S. CHAPMAN. I can testily to the efficacy of Dr. dc Graffenried’s Rheu matic Liniment in the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman, as it came under my immediate observation. Oct. 13, 1849. R. A. WARE, M. D. DearSir —Some time in January last, Mrs. McKee was taken very ill with Inflammatorj’ Rheumatism in her shoul der joints, extending to her elbow joint, and arm, which dis ■ abled her from using her arm almost entirely ; and from the ! pain, want of sleep, and great restlessness, for not less than six weeks, 1 was induced bj‘ my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to call on you for a bottle of your Liniment, and by using half the battle, she was entirely relieved, and the relief was man ifest or sensible after three or four rubbings. lam of opinion it is one of the most valuable remedies that has ever been dis covered for Rheumatism : that, is, from my own knowledge, i and that which I have heard from others. Dr. E. L. de Graffenried. 11. C. McKEE. Columbus, Oct. 19th, 1849. Dr. e’e Graffenried—Dear Sir: I take pleasure in saying, I j have a boy who was so badly afflicted with Rheumatism, that he could not raise ltis hand to his head, and had nearly lost the use of his arm. I used the fourth of a bottle of j-our : Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved him entirely. I con- \ sider it a most valuable remedy for the cure of Rheumatism, j RANDOLPH L. MOTT. Jones’ Hotel. Philadelphia, March 3d, 1850. Col.. 1. ft. fin pan —Sir, it affords me great pleasure to be able to bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of Dr. de Graffenried/s Rheumatic /.in mint. I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with what I believ ed to be, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced, Rheu- ! matic gout, for several winters past I have’been confined to my room 1 and bed nearly all the time. In January last, 1 had an aMackas violent if not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about three weeks; on your recommendation 1 commenced the use of this Liniment. (With I must confess but little faith.) Its effects were astonishing and decidedly beneficial from its first application. In a few days my ‘ back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved (and so continue) of all ! the soreness and pains, and the swellings reduced, with the use of ; less than one bottle. I have been iu the dischargt of my ordinary business ever since. I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most, efficacious remedy for this disease, which I have ever met with. And most cheer- i fully recommend its use to all who may be afflicted with it. Rcs|iectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES’, Jones’ Hotel. Baltimore, March 30, 1850. j Dr. de Graffenried —Dear Sin, for the last twelve years, l have sut- , feree very’ severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one | -fourth of the time confined to my bed by it. I have had the best med- ‘ ical aid to be found in various cities in the United States, with little or i no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly recommended remedies, which have failed to effect a cure. I spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. After mv return home, I so far recovered, as to be able to walk about a little. About six weeks since, 1 bad a severe attack which again con fined tne to my bed, I was in great pain and scarcely able to move my j liinbs,whcn a friend of mine called and informed me that you had dis covered an infallible remedy, and had cured many, and amongst them, one of my friends, and showed me a letter from him stating the fact. 1 I was induced to try your Rheumatic Liniment, and take pleasure in j informing you that in less than twenty-four hours from the first appli- j cation I was perfectly free from pain, and continue so up to this time, , I am now able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those afflict ed, as I have been, may be as speedily relieved, as 1 have been with i your medicine. Wishing you all the blessings you deserve dear sir, j Your grateful and obedient Servant, GEO. WARDS WORTH. j Columbus, Ga., Oct. 20, 1840. Dr. de Graffenried —Dear Sir, I take pleasure in giving you the I particulars of my affliction by, and relief from Rheumatism. During the spring of 1814 I was afflicted with a very severe attack of Inflam matory Rheumatism. I employed all the most celebrated remedies then known an.l used iu similar cases, aided by medical advice, until | September, 1815, with no satisfactory result whatever. I was then induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try your Liniment, as some thing nett, and which had cured him; and in one month from the time I commenced the application,! w as well, and clear of the Rheu matism as I ever was, and have continued so to this time Yours, Truly, L.

Columbus, June 14, 1850. 12 —ly. f1! I ~© $ 6K#l£ ® I * BROWN’S ECCENTItm PROGRESSIVE POWER PRESS. lAJIE advantages of this new POWER PRESS, and its superiority . over all others, are as follows: The power applied is multiplied 440 times, by the Lever and Eccen tric pully, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the Lever will exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of the bale box js open to receive the Cotton, and it may tie put as near the Gin House as is desired. It is three times as powerful as a screw of 18 inches diameter, that has a nine inch pitch of thread with the same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk but one third as far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third as long to do the same work. And further, the Press follower descends with much-greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when but little power is required, which shortens the distance travelled by the horse, in proportion to tlic increased velocity of the follower at the start. This Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, by using the wheel and axle, and can be so modified as to answer any purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic purposes. For Cotton it requires one-fourth less work to build, and three-fourths less work to raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec centric wheel is used, it will not be much over half the work to build as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, &c. it cannot be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the screw, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built. The w hole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed $45. which may lie had | of C. 11. Levy, of Macon, who is t lie only person authosized to furnish them. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost of right to use I the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will be jlO orsls more for the Iron work, but it will materially lessen the J cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and w ill lie the cheap i est in tlic end. Any good Mechanic can construct the Press from the i drawings and specifications which will accompany each right. I shallsell a single right at S2O, which sum can be sent by mail at | my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster jof the place where the let ter is mailed. Each right will be acconipa | nied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will : be able to build the Press. Any communications, post-paid, will be punctually attended to. ” A.

April 18,1850. 4— 6 in “ I Tread 110 Slop Backwards.” • or M. S. TIIOHSOA, AI. I>., MACON, GEORGIA. I a period of over thirteen years, it has been the province of the undersigned, to present to the people of Georgia, and the surrounding States, the results of the use of innocent Vegetable Medicines, in the treatment and cure of disease, as contradistinguished j from poisonous substances, to w hich from childhood,they have been . accustomed, and to whose pernicious effects U(ou the constitution, many ofthem are living witnesses. The success which during this long series of years, lias attended I his administrations, has, in many instances, been such, as to over come the most inveterate prejudices in favor of the old order of things, and to produce instead thereof, a conviction that even in medicine, as in other branches ofthe physical sciences, new ideas may lie advanc ed, and results achieved, that our ancestors would have deemed im possible, but w hich our posterity-, thanks to the enlightenment of a coming age, may find easy of accomplishment. This sticceds in curing diseases of the most hopeless character after ! nil other means had failed,and that too, in many instances, tcithuvt see- ■ ingthe patient, has long lieenthe subject of general remark, exhibiting 1 as it does, in bold relief the difi'erence between restorine a case that lias been absolutely abandoned , and simply raising another, that hun- j ! dreds of others could cure. Such cases can lie pointed out in almost every county in Georgia, ; j where some poor, decrepid, helpless lieing, after testing every local j j means without avail have sent ofl', as a dernier resort, a description | of their diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds of miles, J and received liack those health restoring remedies that have restored f them again to health and to society, to their own astonishment and their neighbors wonder, putting at naught the sneers of antagonistic ; interests, and adding new linger posts at every post otlice and cross- j roads,pointing the way the city of refuge. Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, lie would I | yet boldly say, that he firmly believes that uine-tentlis of the so called incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine,and | can be cured by pursuing a projier course of medication, with the ex ! erciseof necessary care and perseverance, on the part of the patient, which in all cases of a lingering character, are of the last importance. The great facilities forlhis kind of treatment presented in the cheap postage system, has been taken advantage of by thousands who haje pily can indirectly attribute their present good health to that noble spe- ■ omen of liberal government; and there are thousands more who may j reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let 1 j the afflicted if he cannot write himself, get his neighbor to do it for ‘ him, give a history of his case, age, habits, and symptoms, the same] as if talking to a physician. If able and it is convenient, enclose the fee ; if not convenient just then, a due bill for the amount will answer, (this obviates the inconvenience of making accounts at great distances,) and if not able, pre-pay and mail the letter to his address, , w hen medicines suitable to the case will lie compounded and sent ‘ | with full directions. The charge for treatment is only 05) five dollars, monthly, a sum | ; sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one, and yet suffi ! cient to preserve him from loss in his extensive administrations. Tills done, call at the post office in a reasonable time, and receive j your medicines with as much precision as you would a letter; pre pare and use them as directed, and persevere; report progress montli- I ly, or oftener, as may be necessary, and closely watch the progress of ] the cure. I Having been long and extensively engaged in the treatment of dis ; eases peculiar to females, he would say that they may avail them selves of his knowledge, with the utmost confidence, in his prudence ■ and integrity, so that in writing out their symptoms, they may express • 1 themselves with the necessary freedom. In some of the diseases of t lie renal and procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the I charge will lie increased. Such cases as require personal attention, will lie treated on liberal j terms in the city, where the necessary accommodations can always lie had. Those wishing further information in regard to results, will address a post-pawl letter to the undersigned, who will immediately mail to the applicant such documents as must disarm doubt. M. 8.

Economy in dress, by the adoption of a cheap Uniform, for Winter and Summer, is rigidly enforced. Every student is required to select a College guardian, with w horn all funds brought or received must be deposited, and no debt must be contracted without the consent of such guardian. An Institution combining the science ofthe West Point Academy and of Polytechnic Institutes, with the classical literature of out best Colleges, adding the modern languages, and superaddmg practical schools of law and Engineering, nearly realizes the long-felt dosidcr ntion of a university able to meet the wants of Western progress—m university where all may select a course of steady to suit their tune, means ond professional destination.
