CONSTITUTION ALIST~~
AUGUSTA:
FRIDAY, MAY 27. 1825.
The Superior Court for this county com
menced its session on Monday last, and al
though the dockets are well filled we are
persuaded that the business of the Term
may be disposed of within the lime prescri
bed by law, if Jurors, Witnesses and parties
will bestow the proper attention. We know
how inconvenient it is, at this season parti
cularly, to abandon private business, but,
surely some sacrifices should be made, when 1
*> I
it is remembered that if the excuse of busi
ness, which belongs to every one, be allowed,
the administration of justice must not only
be retarded but destroyed.
Since the commencement of the present
Circuit, Washington Poe, John J. r ells,
Edward Foley ami Robert Hatcher, Esqrs.
have been admitted, to plead and practice in
the several Courts of Law and Equity in
.this state.
On Wednesday morning, about one o’-
clock, several Valuable Buildings on Mr.
J. Guimarin’s lot at the lower end ol Greene
Street were consumed by fire. The flames
had made considerable progress when first
discovered, and the remoteiiegs of the situ
ation prevented that early assistance neces
sary to save the property. The Inhabit
ants attended however, so soon as the alarm
was communicated, and after a considerable
exertion, the fire was arrested. We learn
that the loss in Goods, Furniture, Houses,
&c. amounts to about 85000 and that g2OOO
of this was under insurance.
Whether we have undergone a change
or not, no signs of any are perceivable in
qur,.neighbour of the Chronicle, who retains
the same old proportions of the pert, and
.the mawkish in style; of cant and prevari
cation in matter. Indeed we could scarce
ly wish him, the radical reformation of
which he speaks; for if he were totally
divested of these characteristics, which
constitute the chief ingredients of the com
pound, he would be under no little Siazard of
losing die consciousness of his personal
identity. Like the unlueky wight who was
shorn in his sleep, he might scratch his
head, and exclaim with astonishment
“ Donder and hlixen ! What oder knave
is dis in mine nightcap ?”
A letter from New-York, states that such
was the unprecedented demand for houses
on the first of the present month, that nearly
three hundred families assembled in the Park
without a place tu deposit their furniture or
to shelter themselves—in the evening the
prison doors were opened to afford them a
temporary shelter. The Evening Post says,
—“ We want carpenters, joiners, bricklay
ers, masons, and all sorts of laborers, whose
occupation it is to build up, or to pull down
houses or tenements of every sort. Good ser
vants, of all work or any work, indoor or
outdoor, waiters, cooks, chambermaids,
laundresses or coachmen, are in perpetual
demand ; and we want every kind of buil
ding materials, from a shingle to a til*,
pricks, &c.; for all which, higher prices and
better w.iges are given here, at this time,
than in any city or town in the United
States, or the civilized world.”
Bav. Georgian,
The following very singular statement is
taken from the New York Evening Post.—lt
communicates a fact of the most serious im
portance to the community at large, and
which deserves their pointed reprehension :
Missing letters and Papers. —One of the
.Clerks from the Post-Office, politely furnish
ed us this morning, our packages of London
papers, which came by the packet ship Whi.
Thompson, from Liverpool—and at the
same time informed us, (and we think it no
more,than an act of jus ice to mention the
faol, that no censure may rest upon the
-Post-Office,) that a number of other pack
ages for printers, together with 294 letters,
were notdeposited in the Post-Office until a
few minutes before 9 o’clock this morning.
The Win. Thompson arrived here last Mon
day afternoon.

Os 15,000 inhabitants, only 300, and some

280 children were crushed in the ruins ol
one school. 7000 bodies horribly mutilated
had been extricated from the ruins. The
troops whom the Dey had sent to superin
tend and assist in the work of relief, had
been attacked and put. to fl.ght by the Co
bails, descendants of he ancient Nu[lndi

COMMUNICATED.
Mr. Bunce,
I was struck with the style
of the letter from Col. Crowell to Ms br.i [
; ther Capt. Crowell, relating tlie murder of I
Gen. Mclntosh. It is couched in such af
fectionate ami confidential form that it is ev
ident it was a private communication from
one brother to another, not intended for the
, public eye.
Contrary to the old fashioned stile of
“ Dear Brother,” Col C, commences with
the more brotherly, and endearing, e?pres
i sive and laconic manner of “ Sir.’ ? This
is the modern stile of addressing brothers.
Then follows the letter, relating to the tra
gical event of the death of Mclntosh, his
jown hair breadth escape, and his mighty in
,flounce, in the nation, then closes with a hor
rible ignorance of his danger, and doubt of
, his safety. To all appearance he must have
, written his Brother iwo letters, one explan
atory of the other—viz. one for his Brother’s
own private reading, and the other for (he
, public. I think the public has got the
“ wrong letter or perhaps the Col. might have
> instructed the Capt. as “ please publish the
. annexed, or enclosed, it spits vur purpose,”
( or some how so, or some how else. The
Col, in dictating the letter for the public,
may have imagined himself addressing the
Secretary at War, instead of his brother.
This may probably account for the formal
commencement of “ Sir”—The rest is like it.
• P. S. There are many private letters
> written lor the public now a days.
5 A FOX, in the Piney Woods.
Pendleton, (S. C.) 3d May, 1825.
■ Mr, Bunce,
Enclosed is an article on the
. virtues of Sweet Olive Oil, as a remedy for
1 the bite of snakes. It is extracted from the
note book of a gentleman who is a man of
J the first respectability, and who says that he
1 can testify to what is stated of the Olive Oil,
,to be true, fie suffered many of his neigh
) bors to copy it from his note book for their
own use ; but was not going to have it pub-i
lished, until they had repeatedly requested
him to do so, for the benefit and information
B of the public generally,
1 Should you have room for it in your next
s paper, you would probably do an essential
1 service to some of your fellow beings by giv
. ing it a place, as the season is fast approa
ching when snakes will begin to stir about,
' &c. Yours, Respectfully,
' AMERIC ANUS.
f
(, CURE FOR THE BITE OF THE VI
PER, RATTLE SNAKE, &c.
f In great cities, particularly in London, a
number of persons procure their livelihood
by catching Vipers. They are employed
sby chemists, apothecaries, &c. I remem
s her some years before leaving England, to
_ have read in the philosophical transactions
e of tiie Royal Society in London, a curious
circumstance of one of these Viper-catchers.
A member of the Society had received cas
ually, information that a man engaged in
1 this business was frequently bitten, and that
3 he cured himself by Sweet Olive Oil. Af
i ter considerable enquiry the Viper-catcher
• was found and the questions asked whether
r he did cure himself by the oil, and whether
; he was willing to satisfy a number of gen
-1 tlemen of the fact ? The man answered in
" the affirmative to both questions. Accor
‘ dingly a very numerous meeting of the Roy
; al Society was convened, composed of a
1 considerable number of Nobility, &c. the
“ Viper-catcher attended, accompanied by his
r wife, with a large Viper, and laying bis arm
> naked to the Shoulder, suffered the irritated
' Reptile to strike, which it did very forcibly.
‘ His wife permitted the poison to operate till
> her husband’s head, face and tongue were
• greatly swollen, bis arm and face turned ve
> ry black and his senses much affVcred, when
,j she applied the oil by pouring a small quan
tity down him, and -bathing the part bitten.
The man, gradually, soon recovered. This
circumstance being strongly impressed up
s on my mind and knowing that the poison of
t an English Viper is considered in that coun
' try the most venemous, in nature, determin
-led me to try its power in the bile of
: a Rattle Snake the first opportunity that
B should offer in the district 1 resided in.
■ In 1786, I was travelling through Pendleton
1 (S. C.) and met a man who enquired of me, if
• I could assist to relieve the pain of a person
B who had been bitten by a large Rattle Snake.
u Although sorry for the mairs misfortune, I
e rejoiced at the opportunity, I had offered to
B ascertain fully the properties of Olive Oil as
■ an antidote to this deadly poison ; having a
s vial of this oil in my pocket, 1 hastened to
a the suffering creature; and on seeing him
I' his appearance struck me as the most fright
■ fui object I ever beheld. His head and face
were extremely swollen and the latter
black. His tongue propprtionably enlarged
> and extending out of his mouth ; his eyes
- appeared as if they would shoot from their
o sockets, his senses gone, and every appear
e ance of immediate death. He had been bitten
• on the side of the foot. I immediately, hut
• .vilh great difficulty, poured down him two
J table spoons full of die oil—its effects were
e almost instantaneous and exceedingly pow
- erful in counteracting the poison, as ap-
J peared by the strong, though quick convul
sions, which followed. In about 30 min
- utes it operated strongly, both as an emetic
and cathartic, after which the swelling of
o the head, face, &c. gradually abated, and
- the tongue began to as-ume its place. In two
i, hours he was so far recovered as to be able
- to articulate, and from that time recovered
fast, till he got perfectly over it. The oil
inwardly taken and externally applied, did
not exceed seven spoons lull. The number
of cases of the like nature, in 12 years lias
i Wee it considerable, in all which'dive Oil has
proved itself to be peculiarly adapted and
I fully adequate to the worst of cases, if time
ly applied. It is a remedy which every per- ,
son can command (when others cant he pro
cured) and ought not to be without; indeed
many cautious persons have carried a small '
vial of oil constantly about them. It has al
so been used with equal success when hor
ses, cattle, dogs, &c. have been bit. One
case, I am credibly informed has occurred
w)iere the Olivp Oil succeeded when given to
a woman who had been by a mad dog,
ant) who exhibited strong symptoms of Hy
drophobia. 1 can hardly excuse myself of
criminal neglect in having so long omitted to 1
make thus public this sovereign remedy for
the worst of poisons. The knowledge of the
efficacy of the Olive Oil is abundantly diffu
sed in the district of Pendleton, and partial
ly so in some of the adjoining districts, and
wishing it to he known generally, has caused
me to write these remarks for publication.

It is mentioned in a New-York paper of
the 14th ult. that the Hon Rufus King,
Minister to the Court of St. James, will
shortly embark in one of the Liverpool Pack
ets. The report is, that he has engaged his 1
passage in the ship Pacific, which vessel sails
| on the Ist June.
Chehaw, May 13.
Mr. Joseph Bell, of whom we had occa
sion to speak in our last paper, has invented
anew casting machinery, &c.‘ Within a
fortnight past, he has put one of these Fur
naces into operation in this place, and the
period of time required to melt pig metal in
■ this Furnace is only about half of that oc
cupied by one of an ordinary kind. The
great economy in building these Furnaces is
still more astonishing; the whole expense
not exceeding gBO. The quantity of fuel
j necessary to be used, is also infinitely less.
