VACCINE INOCULATION, Effectually prevents the Small Pot, it is never dangerous, requires no particular diet t.or mudicine, and may be practised at all ages and at every season of the year. Directions.-— 1 The matter may be taken from ■t pustule that is making its progress regular- tv, ttnd which possesses the true vaccine vliarueter, by puncturing with the lancent in for the most part violent, painful, loathsome, dangerous to life and always contagious. One case in three dangerous, one in six dies. At least half of mankind before vaccination bad it, consequently one in twelve of the human rice perished by it. In London about 3000 died annually, 40,000 m Great Britain and Ireland. The irruptions are numerous, painful anil disgusting. Confinement, loss of lime and exposure, an; certain and more or less consi- several points, and charging small piccos of idcrable. Precautions are for llio most part -’lass with it, by gently pressing them on the o.'cffcd puncture, and putting two of them to- gather, with tho sides containing the matter in c'-rutiicf; wrap them up in a piece of tin foil, «.ol preservo them from heat or moisture. The best time for taking the vaccine matter ts front the 7th to the 9th day, before the efilo- resccnco or red appearance takes place. An unnecessary irritation of tho pustule is thereby c. vo, Jed ; and it is also advisable not to take a great deal ol fluid from one pustule : or, the internal or central part of the first scab that lulls tiff, which is tho true vaccine scab, tnay unavailing. Medical treatment nlways ne cessary, both during tho disease nod after wards. It occasions pits, scars and seams, &c. disfiguring the skin, particularly the feeo. The subsequent diseases are scrofula in its worst forms, diseases of the skin, glands, joints, Sir., and loss of sense, sight or henriog, frequently follow. It is like attempting to cross a large and rapid stream when one in six perish. Inoculated small pox is for the most part mild, but sometimes vto’e painful, loath some, and dangerous to life; always conla no other lavs but such as they themselves thought proper to ordain. Mr. Wirt in tire course of his argument quoted the several treaties—cited various cases and decisions in point, and after addressing the Court on the subject from eleven o’clock till half past two, concluded his highly forcible and eloquent ap peal, in a peroration of deep feeling and pathos, and in which the sympathies of his auditory were completely enlisted, by expressing his confidence that the Court would grant the in junction required, as the last stay and hope of an tit,fortunate atid much injured people. The court was considerably crowded through out the day; some of the Cherokee delegation were present—one of whom, of verv intelli- tbtrefore not surprised that they should no longer go hand in hand in yielding united support to those gen tlemen. General Jackson’s friends cannot support Mr. Calhoun, and Mr. C. will not consent to retire to private life, without makin; at least one effort for office. We have no objection to see him come out, if he feels a disposition to do it. In the event, lie would very probably find, that notwithstanding all bis professions of high and noble, of honest and honorable conduct, his political honesty is most seriously doubted by a ma jority of thf people. He can no longer shield himself under tho president’s protecting wing, or by any ma- fKcuvering, evade public scrutiny. He lias, by his late acts, drawn more closely the attention of the public to wards him—they will watch him with jealous eyes, fur his character as an honest politician is not well enough gent and respectable appearance, shed tesrs f cstsblsshed In the puLiic estimation, to affi-rd a suffi- copiously during Mr. Wirt’s address.

The scab of a vigorous pustule jgiotts, and therefore gives rise to natural small • bnnld be chosen, and may bo kept in a cool ;pnx ; and has actually, by spreading the dis- •dry place for twelve months, so that vaccitia- 'ion may be performed from it at any time. The proper place for introducing the matter is on the arm, about midway between the shoulder and tho elbow. The mode of doing it is by impregnating the point of a clean sharp •lancet with tho matter, and inserting it by means of a slight scratch or puncture, and wiping tho point of the lancet on the part w hero the blond is drawn—(the less blood (he heller.) Fluid matter taken from the pustule and immediately inserted, is the most certain. But to use the matter on glasses, wo restore it to a fluid state, by dissolving it in n small portion of cold wnter, taken upon the point of s lancet; and to use tho senb, we scrape otT some of tho darlt, internal central part, and mix it with a -little cold water on a piece of -g'ass. Signs of true Vaccine Disease.—A little red case, greatly increased toe general mortality. One in forty has it dangerously, and one in 300 dies. In London, one in a hundred. Eruptions are sometimes considerable; confinement, loss of time, nnd expense cer tain, and more or loss considerable ; prepara tion by diet and medicine necessary, extremes of heat and cold dangerous ; during ill health, teething and pregnancy to bo avoided. When tho disease is severe, deformity probable, and subsequent disorders as in the natural small pox. It is like passing the stream in a boat subject to accidents where one in 300 perish and one in forty sutler partially. Vaccination is an infallible preventive of the small pox, always mild, free from pain or danger, never fatal nor coulagious. Inconsi derable eruption, no confinement, no loss of lime nor expense ; no precaution necessary or required, no consequent deformity : no subsn- spot will appear on the punctured part on the (quent disoase. It is like passing over a sale third day, which, on tho fourth or fifth day, becomes a watery or vesoated pustule. It goes on increasing, with n depression in the middle of the pustule, until the 9th or 10th •day, when it is generally surrounded by a ruse -colored, circumscribed appearance nr efllorcs- -entice, which remains stationary for two or three days. Tho efflorescence then fades away, nnd tho pustulo gradually becomes a ■hard, glossy scab, of a dark mahogany color. •This efflorescence is also called the areola, and the vnccino ring, from its being circum scribed, It is most commonly in size rather larger than a dollar. The progressive stages -of the pustule are commonly completed in six teen or ueventeon days. On the eighth or • ninth day, when the efflorescence is fanning, some fever often occurs in children, and lussi- tude in adults. Signs of unsuccessful Vaccination.—The most frequent dovialion from the perfect pus tule, is that which finishes its progress much •within tho limit limited by the true. Its com mencement is marked by a troublesome itch ing, and it forms a premature efflorescence, -rcmel’rmes extensive, but seldom circumvcri bed or of so vivid n tint ns that which sur rounds the complete pustule ; and it exhibits one peculiar characteristic mark of degenera cy, by appearing ntoro like > common fester ing, produced by any small rxtianeotis body sticking in tho skin, than a pustule excited, as in fare described by (he vaccine virus, 'flic successful progress of the vaccine pustule, is frequently rendered uncertain by being rub- ' -cti off. A strict attention to the progress of tho true vaccine disenso, impresses on tho mind of the practitioner tho perfect character of a vaccine •pustule. Therefore, when a deviation of any kind arises, common prudence points nut the necessity of re-vaccinating with virus of the most active kind, and if possible, taken from the pustulo. Cautions respecting the vaccinated part.— ‘To prevent the patient from suffering inconve nience in the vaccinated part, it is necessary :o protect it from artificial irritation, that it should bo kept entirely loose and exposed to tho nir, nnd during the tune of the efllorcs. ccnco, should ho frequently dusted w ill, fine •.lour. The arm of the patient is often greatly inflamed from wearing tight clothes, or using too much exercise ut the period of tho influm- -motion taking place—this may easily he pre vented by avoiding the cause. If tho pustule is rubbed off nnd becomes a sure, the part should bo covered with cala mine or gow lards, or simple cerate, spread on a linen cloth and kept secure by n sot) ban dage; the same application should bo made If any soro remains alter tho scab has dropped off. Tho following annual statement of the deaths occasioned by tho small pox within tho London bills of mortality, in the begin ning of tho present century, has been publish ed by the Jennerian Society of that city, A. D. 1800, 2409 ; 1801, 1461 ; 1802,1579 ; IS03, 1173; 1804, 622. As tho society remarks, it is hoped the knowledge of the facts will bo strongly promotive of tho beneficial practice of vaccine inoculation; it appearing that the fe tal disease of small pox has progressively de clined, as the inestimable discovery of Dr. Jenner bas been introduced. Vaccination was introduced inlo Vienna in 1801, lit effects in decreasing tho deaths by tiro smell pox aro evident from comparing the death* since that period with those of the preceding years. 1800, 835 ; 1801, 164 ; bridge The following certificate and recommenda tion was published by the Physicians of Phila delphia in April, 1803. We the subscribers, Physicians of Philadel phia, having carefully considered tho nature and effects of tho newly discovered means of preventing, by Vaccination, tho filial conse quences of the small pox, think it n duty thus publicly to disclose our opinion, that inocula tion for the kine or cow pox, is a valuable pre ventative of the small pox, nnd that it is at tended with no danger, may lie practised at all ages and seasons of the year; and we do there fore recommend it to general use.

STATEa 1 Moxdst, Hill March, l*31. ft The Chernkeo .Vu/ioil, vs. The Stale of Georgia.—Tho argument in this case, com menced on Saturday last, by Mr. Sergeant, on the part of the Cheri.kcn Nution, was tallow- e.d up this day by Mr. \A irt. Mr. W irt in tho commencement of his argu ment, stated ilio nature of tho present motion, which he said was addressed to the original jurisdiction of the Supremo Court in the name "I >ho Cherokee Nation of Indians, praying lor process of subpoena against the Slate of Geirg a, and for an injunction against that State, her officers, and agents, to restrain them from exercising the laws of Georgia within the Cherokee Territory, on the ground that the specific laws which go ;o introduce the civil and criminal code of Georgia into the Indian Territory, are null and void, us being repugnant to the Constitution, laws, and Trea ties of the United States. IIo next proceeded to nrguo that the Court possessed jurisdiction of tho subject—that this jurisdii lion depended solely on tho Con stitution of the United States, and did not pro ceed front Congress—that Congress could confer no now jurisdii lion on tho Supreme Court, nor could it take any from it which it possessed. The Constitution had established the Supreme Couit, and had defined its juris diction, and in what eases that jurisdiction was original nnd exclusive. Ho then cited the 3d Art. of the Constitution, by tho 1st section of which the whole Judicial power of the U. States is deposited in one Supreme Court, and such Inferior comts as Congress shall from time to time establish ; and tho 2d sec. which describes the Judicial power of the Court—as relates to tho subject matter of controversy over which its jurisdiction is to extend, and Athens, Mar. 29,1831. Superior Cuurt—IVcstirn Circuit.—At the last term of this Court for Gwinnett county, James Swinney convicted of the crime of arson, and sentM*ced to he executed on the firs' Friday in May next. He w as first tried for horse stealing, and acquitted ; and afterwards for setting fire to the jail where ho was confined. • • tho same term, four of tho Missionaries resident mong tho Clr-rokee Indian?, were arraigned for refu sing to comply with tho required oath of obedience to our laws. Two of them were hound over to appear at tho nrxt Court, to answer to the charge ; tho other two were released, on the ground that they held officet* under the General Government. \t the last term for Hall county, Zachariah Gaines was convicted of tho murder of a Mr. Deaton, his un cle, and sentenced to be executed. The death of the deceased was occasioned by a single blow inflicted on the head with a large billet of wood, and occurred in * few hours afler it was received. Thtftrial of Colonel Nelson, &c. was deferred until the next term of the Court. The excitement against the Guard, though still strong, is thought to be gradually subsiding. Reductiox.—In imitation of the laudable example act them by our own and other counties, we perceive that the Grand Jury of Morgan county have also taken up i the subject of reduction. IVe are happy to see this spirit, so universally manifested throughout the West ern Circuit, also displaying itself elsewhere. The plan recommended is tho surest and safest, in fact the only one that can be adopted, unless our Legislature Jo the desired work; but of this there is little hone. Read the following extract from their presen traeats: “Having now gone through with those things which relate more particularly to the interest of our country, we have felt disposed to consider f.omc matters that affect our interest as members of the community—as tin Thesis; and a Silver Cup to Dr. Frederick Wurde- man, of Charleston, for the best English Thesis. The degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred on forty- - . seven young gentlemen, of whom seven were from this tno character of the suits that may come he- State, The audience was vury large, and the exercises fore it. .And from that part of tho same which ! impressive. citizens of Georgia. tVc have acted in obedience to a resolution of the Legislature of |8‘29, relative to reduc tion ol representation, and with much unanimity of sentiment in our sovereign capacity, we declared in language plain and respectful, that wo desired “ Re duction.” This language poured forth a* the united language of the community, has been regarded only a» the whirlings of a foolish multitude. L’npfrasarit as it may be to our feelings, wi:mu«t express our sovereign contempt for the conduct of the last Legislature on this subject; and would now say to the people of Georgia, assemble, deliberate, and if you believe your subsequent ea*h? will receive the fate of your previous expression of sentiment, then wo would say elect delegates to a con vention and clothe them with power toalterthat part of the constitution which relates to the appointment of re presentation." -«>- limes Mrich, convicted at the sitting of tho t T . 8. Circuit Court in June last, of shooting Corporal James Winchester, at the Arsenal near Augusta, and senten ced to two years imprisonment in the county jail, and to pay a fine of eight hundred dollars, has been pardon ed by tho President, and ordered to be released on pay ment of tho costs of Court, Edward Froit, Esq. of Charleston, has been appoint ed V. S. District Attorney for South Carolino, in place of John Gadsden, Esq. deceased, Charleston Medical College.—The annual Commence- ment of this institution took place on the 18th instant. The premium granted by the Society for the encour agement of classical literature, was awarded to Dr. Joel U . Wyman of Barnwell District, for the best La- cient guarantee for hij good behaviour. Even those who have heretofore been disposed to sustain him, cannot, without a candid exposition of his political creed, advocate his pretensions to office at the present time; and this, we conceive, would be a matter too delicate to be agreeable to the gentleman. The writer above mentioned also says, that “the Hon. Judge Spencer [of New-York] will be supported by the American Republicans, or National Republican party, as their candidate for the Vice Presidency. 1 This nomination, should the National Republicans (alias the Clay party) unite in its support, is peculiarly unfortunate for that party. Judge Spencer may do very well on the Judicial Bench of his own State—he is a man of sound legal learning—but we have never yet seen any evidence of his being a statesman ; and we 1 pity the party that is obliged to rank men of his expe rience and capacity, among their champions. On the w hole, we are rather disposed to doubt the correctness of the writer’s opinion. u Tht Glole—It is known to most of our readers, that a paper with this title was established three or four months since, at the City of Washington, and that it supports the present administration. Since “the cor respondence*’ between the President and Vice President has been published, the Telegraph has deserted the former; and having espoused the cause of the latter, there is now no prominent paper in the District of Co- lumbia, which supports the administration, except the Globe. It is now proposed to change it from a semi weekly, as heretofore, to a daily paper; and to effect this object, we hope to see the friends of the President throughout the Union, and especially in the Southern States, rallying to its support. The necessity of a daily paper in Washington, to counteract the influence of three powerful opposition (or lukewarm) presses, will undoubtedly be apparent; but apart from the cause which “The Globe” advocates, it has other good and sufficient claims on public patronage. The editorial department is conducted with a zeal and ability seldom equalled by the conductors of any public journal; the selections are judicious, and of a character at once to satisfy the political, literary and miscellaneous reader; and should the daily paper succeed, it will contain am ple reports of Congressional proceedings. The pros pectus, which we shall publish next week, and for which we solicit an attentive perusal, will explain more fully and satisfactorily the principles on which “The Globe” ts conducted. 1802, 61; 1803, 27; 1804, 2 only. A comparative view of natural, and inocu lated email pox and vaccination, in their ef fect! on individuate in society. viz: .Vatural Small Pot.—Vot more than twelve centuries tide disorder hat been known to con tinue it* wage., deatroying every year, an immense proportion-of the population of (be vod&b It is in ecme few instances mild, but declares, that tho Jutlinui power shall extend to all casts in lata and equity, arising under tho Constitution—the luws of tho United States, and treaties made, or which shall he made tunIn- their authority, ho contended that tho present was a case which plainly comu un der the cognizance of the Court. Mr. Wirt then went on to show that tho Cherokee Nation was a foreign State, neither owing allegiance to the United States, to Georgia, to any State in tho Union, or to any other power. That from tunc immemorial the Cherokee* had been a sovereign and inde pendent people—that (boy had been acknowl- edged as such from the timo of the first settlers under the charter of George II. in 1732, to tho present day, by tho various treaties that had been madu with them at different periods; and that as such tho State of Georgia could have no jurisdiction within Choir territory That although Within what was called the litii its of Georgia, they were a foreign State, and in proof of this, ho instanced the towns and provinces at one period possessed by England in the heart of France. But that in the case of the Cherokee*, they were not only a foreign na tion, hut an independent one—the sole nnd ex- -lusivo masters of all the soil within their ter. ritory, which they had not ceded by their own freo will, and could bo governed, of right, by —3&- .5?'of Improvement!.—The vast resources ofliuman ingenuity and invention, which have so long lain dor mant, or exhibited themselves In slow progression, dur ing the past ages, have in this enlightened era of tho world been destined to developc themselves. If in the progress of any of the arte, instruments sre found wan ting to facilitate the ready acquisition of the desired object, the invention of man is set at work, nnd we soon see them produced. The agriculturalist or me chanic, who finds that in trending the path of his fa thers—in pursuing the same dull routine of duties that obtained for them subsistence and wealth, he lacks/orce ufficiont to gratify his wishes, has only to call in the aid of all- powerful machinery, and his work is accom plished, apparently without an effort. But these improvements, great as they may be, are obliged to yieid, to retire in mute insignificance, when compared with the late inventions for repairing the human family. Wo say nothing of internal troubles, for there is not an ache in the whole catalogue of - ills that flesh is heir to,” for which the skill of our physi cians has not long since found a remedy. Indeed, to such perfection has the - art of healing” been brought, that we cannot resist, occasionally, the expression ofa feeling of involuntary surprise, when we bear that a disease has battled the skill of tho physician. At pre sent tve allude entirely to externals. Without further preface, then, we proceed to inform our readers, and the world at large, that Mr. James Kent, of New Yoik, advertises that lie ..an make "J/tl and legs, possessing a handsome anatomical shape, having a back and fonoard motion, os util as a side mo tion, Is Iht right and left, tohich are as natural at life it self, and which may be wont without pain or inconven ience.” Ado to this the mention of Dr. Scudder’s re cent success in the manufacture of “ artificial eyes,” in comparison with which the beauty of the natural eye is nought but unmingled uglincas, and which answer eve ry useful purpose, except the email affair of seeing; and we have the sum mum bonum, the very oerne, of surgical refinement.

Let this fact be remembered ; and when the poisonous draught is about to be swallowed, let it strike heavy on the mind to prevent the act. Tie Tics President.—XVe have information, on the authority ot a Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, that “JohaH. Calhoun will be in nomination by hia friends, for the Presidency, in the next canvass.” This annunciation, although rather unexpected, is not too improbable to he true.— The recent rupture that haa taken placo between the two first officers of out goirrnmcnt, iuu brought many of their former Spends in direct col!isi«n, and arc are by machinery, you will no longer find it necessary to “ ponder the pathe of your feet.” Verily, we lire in a golden age. We accidentally omitted to mention a few weeks since, a melancholy affair that occurred at Hitchele creek in this State. The facts as stated are these.— Msj. Nathan Brady, Jr. ofStewart county, left his home on the lQlh utl. for Columbus, and after travelling about twenty miles, stopped to let his horse drink at the creek above mentioned, and while there was shot with rifle ball, which entered back of the left shoulder, passed under the collar bone, cutting the wind pipe, and came out on Ibe right side of his neck. Notwith standing the shot was fatal, he was able to hold to his horse, and rode three miles to the nearest house, where he died in two days after. This is the third person that has recently been kilim) at or near ihe seme spot. in addition to the above particulars, we have the following from the lost Columbus Enquirer: “ Most of our readers have heard of the death of the unfortunate Maj. Brady, formerly a member of the Legislature from Randolph county, who was killed by a ball discharged from a rifle at Hitchele creek, about a month ago. The assassin was soon discovered to be an Indian of the Oswitche tribe, living among the Creeks, by the name of Tom, a n et r fM outlaw in character even among his own pie, and the same desperado who had nreviL!* ly killed Mr. Mayo, and shot at and wounds Mr. Thompson. We are happy t0 say tu. he has paid the penalty of his bloody crime ' and fallen by the same fell weapon with whi *il he had done such dreadful execution upon h' innocent victims. Is “ After the death of the lamented Brad- constant vigilance was kept up in the ne j l* borhood for the apprehension of the murdc " os well by the Indians as the whites, p*! Tom, keeping himself mostly in the woods *** this side of the river, apart from his tribe el° a ded their efforts until Wednesday the gq, U p this inst. when he was discovered by anotl, Indian near Culpeper's old store, about twern^ miles below this place, on this side 0 f the Chattahoochee, endeavoring to obtain a cant) with which to cross over to the nation. Tj, 6 Indian told him that he could not cross ther* but must go down to Boykin's ferry, about three miles below. He then encamped in th 9 neighborhood for the night, and the other In. dian near him. During the night the latte* got up, crossed the river, and gave information to a white man by the name of Sims, livin., j„ the nation, of the murderer’s being j n the viej. nity, and of hia intention to cross at the ferry in the morning. Sims immediately collected a party of about thirty Indians and repaired to the ferry, and they had not been there more than half an hour when the murderer made his appearance on the opposite side. Having ob- tained the canoe, ho crossed over, and w ag about gathering his plunder and provisions which he had with him, when Sims and his par- ty discovered themselves to him. He evinced no emotion when he saw them, but calmly awaited their movements. Sims advanced and attempted to fire, but his rifle only snapped. The Indians then fired simultaneously, and tho outlaw fell on the spot whore he jumped from the canoe, pierced by about thirty bullets. Af„ ter his death Ihe Indians threw his provisions* &e. into the river and departed, leaving the body lying on the beach. Tho whole affair was distinctly seen by the overseer of Mr. Boykin, from the opposite bank. Mr. B. of! terwards had the body buried by his negroes. “Thus has retributive justice overtaken one of the most desperate outlaws that ever infested this country. It is said he took no care to conceal the murders lie perpetrated, but rather bousted of them. It is further said, that a short time ngo he declared it to be his inten tion to kill five whites nnd the Indian chief of his nation, who had several times had him whipped for his villanics. His enmity to the whites appears to hnve been without discrimi nation, the cause of which we do not know thut ho has ever divulged. The unfortunate victims of his deadly rifle were never known to have injured him, or to have done aught to excite his animosity. " rite above notice is inserted injustice to the Indians, and at their request. YVe are as sured by them that travellers muy now pass the neighborhood lately infested by this out law in perfect security.” For the first time, nt the Superior Court of Columbia now in session,a decision of the Con vention of Judges wus quoted as settling a question of Law. ft was quite satisfactory to perceive how completely nil doubts and diffi culties were dissipated, when it was aster- tained that the convention bad passed upur, the point in dispute. The case was the old ejectment cause of Graves and Sims—and the question—whether time can run against tho Stale, or in other words, whether the maxim of A'ttlltim Tempus oceurit regi applies in hij country I Various authorities were relied on bv the Counsel employed in tho cause, and the variant rules of many of tho Slates addu ced in argument—hut when it was declared that the whole matter was put at rest by the Judges in Convention in the case of the State vs. Tassels—there appeared to bo n general acknowledgment that ut least, one principle may be considered settled throughout the State ol Goorgiii. Let any ono reflect for a moment how much of labor, expense and nr- gutnent is saved by this single decision ol the Judges, and how securely the law jn (his res pect may be relied on by those into whose claims it may hereafter enter, and ho will find abun dant reason to congratulate the public justice of tho country upon the powers which our Judges have determined to exercise in Con vention—and to hope, that the timo will at Ia3t come when a Court of Errors will tnako the law known—will impart it in equal mea sure throughout the State, and will add to the strength and dignity of the jurisprudence of tho country. Y\e hope the Judges will adopt measures to make their decisions gene rally known both through the pamphlet form and tho public newspapers. The ejectment case of Graves nnd Sims, was decided in taxor of the Defendant. It is said to have been a case of much interest, and occupied some timo in the trial of it. YVe aha!! perhapj give a notice of the facts and the law of the case in some future number.—.Jug-. Constitutionalist. Thundering Spring.—In a deep glen, in the northwest corner of Upson countv, is a curious fountain, popularly known as the Thundering Spring. It is situated in the middle of a cutty branch at (he bottom of u high steep hill. The basin of the spring ii about ten feet over, perfectly round, with bright shining zones around it, resembling gold and silver belts, caused by (fee deposit ot' fine yellow sand and isiuglass. Though the sand boils up below with considerable vehe mence, the surface of the water is perfectly smooth and transparent, and runs off so gent ly that its current is scarcely perceptible, and many suppose that the water sinks as fast ts it rises! The transparency of the water ex tends about six inches. Below that depth, it appear* like boiling sand, or a soap kettle in a state of ebullition. The water is nearly blood- warm, and has a slight sulphurous taste sq$
