The Kook Family. ! hi* interestin'; family of young musi cians performed in Griffin on Tuesday evening, to the delight of a very respec table audience. We have only room to say we were enraptured. They go, We understand, to Macon. Success attend them. The Year of Wrecks. “'ere we at all a superstitious people, we might well bo pardoned in eonsicljrmg the sad events of the last few months as ominous of evil to come Never since the formation of the Federal Union, has such a succession of disasters visited our lar.d. Tire moist terrible elements have been at work, each apparently striving to do its best, First came the plague in the Southwest, which only ceased with the decimation of the fair country in which ! t first made its appearance. Next, the country was vis ited throughout its whole extent with des tractive files, which seemed to be the work of some weir conspired band of incendiaries. Last, and not least, came the terrors of the sea, which along our whole stormy coast, from Maine to the Rio Grand, is strewn with human wrecks.— Who indeed, shall number the unhappy beings who during the present year have been hurried to their last account at a mo ment’s summons? The beat, the storm, the plague, the sea, fire and sword, seemed rivals in the strife for victims ‘i he last chromTled catastrophe would seem most terrible of all. Two hundred and twenty human beings, strangers from a foreign land, just as they reached the cho >eu shore, are sent without a moment’s warning to eternity—not one is left to tell the tale. These with the 3 7 0 of the wrecked Tayleur, the 180 of the Stafford shire, and the 130 of the San Francisco, make 90J human lives, whose loss by sea it has been our sad lot to chronicle during t*ie last four months. But this is not all the tide, four other, ships of equal size ami charged with like j precious freight, .are probably sank be- ; u**ath ‘ho oeean’s depths. The steamship j Gity of Glasgow, says a writer, sailed! from Glasgow lor Philadelphia on the Ist J of March, with sonic four hundred souls | on board, and has never since been spo-1 ken. The Lgy.iathan packet ship sailed’ trom New York, on the 22d of November,! and the Lucia Field about the Ist of De cember, both for Liverpool, and no ac count of either has been received. The clipper Dauntless left Boston for Yalpa- j raiso on the 23d of October, and nothing j is known of her fate. i If to these he a !deJ the brig-*, barks ami schooners, ami other vessels Wtecke * timing the last winter upon our coasts, the list becomes fearfuiiy great. I’he amount of ptoperty too destroyed, has been ‘enormous, reaching in the case of all .tii.>nsleis on the Atlanlic, during last \ear, to a figure which even lining arith meticians w ouid shrink from—certainly ii’-Llovd’a list n(lords nnv soit of index, beyond ten millions of dollars. It has} been the year of wrecks. In Mississippi the legislature adjourned on the 2d instant, without, so far as- we arc aware, any vote on the measure, (Ne braska bill.) In Alabama the legislature adjourned nhoid a fortnight since, without an expres sion of opinion in favor of the bill. In Louisiana the legislature adjourned, and was silent on the Nebraska bill.—No (ii ihtl Iniel/ignt er. The fogy editors of the National Intel ligeneer ought to wake up, and familiarize themselves better with passing events.— ‘I lie foregoing contains three important mistakes. The legislatures of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana all declared in favor of the Nebraska bill.— Missis.iippinn. The Intelligencer has evidently lost the run of Southern polities ever since Mr. Fillmore began to tillibustcr for Cuba and Canada. Wash Union. The Nebraska excitement, says the New York Journ il of Commerce, h is done one t hing, for which we rejoice/ 11 has brought out those latent abolitionists who were too cowardly to show their hands so long ns they thought it would be unpopular. W e now sec what they are —mere “dough- j faces,” afraid of their own shadows, but fall of principle when there is any favor to be be carried by it One of the most furious an l uncharitable of our assailants . .since the Nebraska war broke out, is a i man who in 1 Sol or 1832, when he was | u candidate for office, addressed us a rate letter, begging that we \v<. T.u “not oppose him, as he was good‘-Union” manat heart, but thought it policy, just then, to a leaning towards free rcdism, lest lie should lose his hold upon 21 portion of his whig friends, who, he bought, by u discreet management, could be brought over to Union principles. We, of course, took bi nut his word. He was defeated, however, as lie deserved to be; and now he seeks to ride into favor on an other hobby of the same breed, which he goads to distraction.

Indeed, very fr. * are thedireuses in which a Purgative Medicine i? not more or lest required, and much puttering might be prevented, if a ! harmless but cffi ctua! cathartic were mo *o freely used. No person can f- el well while a costive ha bit of body prevails; beside s it soon generates seri ous and ollon fat. I diseases, which might have*been avoided by the timely and judicious use of a good I purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Feverish i symptoms, and Bilious derangements. They all tend <o become or produce ilie deep seated and 1 formidable distempers vvhicli loud ibe hearsus all I over the land. Hence a reliable family physic fS | of Ilie first importance to the public health, aud • tins pdl has been perfected with consummate skill j to meet that demand. An extensive trial of :ts j virtues ty Physicians, Professors, end Patients, has | shown results surpassing anything liitherio known |of any medicine. Cures have been effect and beyond | belief, were, they not substantiated by persons of such (.united position and character as to forbid the suspicion ot untruth. Aiiiongthe many eminent gentlemen who have testified in lavor ol these Pills, we may mention: L*r. A A Hates. Analytical Chemist of Boston, and State Assaycr of Massachusetts, whose high Protessional character L endorsed hy (be — Hon. liuiviiiß Everett. Senator ol the United St it.es, Robert C. Wisthrop, Ex- Speaker of the House of Kepreseutiilives. Abbott Lawrence, Minister Plen. to England, John B Fitzpatrick, Catii. Bishop of Boston; also, — Dr. J R Chilton, Practical Chemist of New York City, cndoised by Lion. VV L Marcv, acerutary of State. YVm. B Astir, the richest man in America. S Lli.and k co.. Proprietors ot tfij Metropoli tan I[ del, amt others. D and -pace permit, we co*Jld give many hundred certificates trom all p.-'is where the Pills have been used, but evidence even more convincing than the experience of eminent public men, is louud in their ■.-fields upon trial. These Pills, the result of long investigation and study, are otlcicd lo the public as the best and most complete which the present state of medical science can aliord They are compounded, eol 01 till* drugs luomstdves, but if the mediea! virtues ol only Vegetable remedies extracted by eoeui cal process m a-state of pitniy, and combmed Jog dm in such a m din-*r as !o ensure the best results.- This sys.c.n of <:omposi<ion f-r medicines lias men louud i*i the Cfieriy Pectoral and Pill- bulb, to produce n more clliiieni remedy Ilian had hiitierto been obtained by any p.oeess. i'lie reason is peril ctly obvious. Ume by tnc old mode ol com positum, everymedicine is burdened with more or less ol acrimonious and Injurious qualities, by tins each individual virtue only ilial is oesireii !oi iSr eu alive cfleet is present. A I the me t mi l ob noxious qualities ol eaca su istauce employed are left behind, tile curative virtues only being iclam ed. Hence it is s df-evident the effects should prove, iis they have proved, m no purely remedial, and lue Pills u surer, more powemii antidote to disease that, any otlse.* medicine known to the w orid. As it is frequently expedient that my medicines should .be taken under tin counsel of an attu.iiiiu” physician, and as lie could not properly judge of a remedy wiitrout knowing Us eo iipontion l have supplied the accurate Form i!se by w iucb botli my Pectoral and Pit s are know n lo the whole bod* ol Practitioners in Hie United States and B rtish A rneriean Provinces. If however ihe.e should tie any one who lias not received them, they wiit be pio.np’.ly forwarded by malt at his request. Ol all the Patent Medicines llmt are ottered, how few would be taken if their Compost ion was know’ll? ’1 heir hie consists in intir mystery. 1 have no mystery*. The composition of my preparations is laid open to alt men, and aii who art; coni >etent to judge on iliesubjeo- freely acknowledge ill ir convictions ol their intrinsic merits. Tie Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by Scientific men to he a wonderful medicine before its erfects were known. Main eminent physicians have declared the same tiling ol my Pitts, and even more Conti (entlv, and are willing to certify tn.it their anticipations were more than reahzul by their eftects upon trial. They operate by* tlietr powerful infl.ience on the internal viscera to purity the blood and stimulate it into lieul:by-action—remove the obstructions ol tire stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring iheir irregular action to health, and hv corrciing, wherever they may exist, such de rangements as are the fi si origin of disease.
