Yellow Fever in Augusta.
The following is an extract of aletter re
ceived by the Atlanta Examiner from a
highly respectable gentleman, resident im
Augusta:
Sept. 23d, 1854.
The fever in Augusta is rather on the

were five deaths after the report of yester
day, and from then to 6 this evening, 2
more deaths in the city, and 2 on the lIHI,
with 2 more expected to terminate fat ally
on the Hiil.—l3 new cases daring the day,

The Montgomery Mail. —The numer

pleased to learn that he proposes to pub
lish a Daily Mail some time next month.
It will be, as the weekly Mail has been,
an independent press, devoted to home mis
sionary work, and, at the same time, a
news and business paper. The ability of
the editor of the Mail is ample guaranty
that the contents of the Daily Mail will
be rich, racy and new. Price $8 per an

Home Enterprise —The Alabama pa
pers anuouuee that on Saturday, 9th inst.
a train, complete in all its parts, built at
the shops of the Montgomery and West
Point Railroad Company, k consisting of
engine, tender, two large passenger cars,
baggage,aud mail cars, was placed on that
Iload and ran out to West Point. The
engine is called the Abner McGehee; and
made 7 miles in 20 minutes. The passen
ger car is said to-be-the finest yet put oo
the Road. The Mail says, the whole fa
bric is a loud defiance to Yankeedom.—
Evidently, “there is a happy day a com
ing.”—lbid.
Fanatical Outrage. —On Monday, the
28th ult. w hen the cars arrived at Salem,
Ohio, from Pittsburg, Pa , a crowd had
gathered in consequence of a telegraphic
dispatch from Pittsburg, stating that a
slave girl was in the train with her mas
ter and mistress. When the cars stopped
a big negro stepped into them, and, accost
ing the girl, asked her if she was a slave.
She made no reply, but her mistress an
swered that she was. Thereupon the
black ruffian seized her, rud she, clinging
to her mistress’ neck, begged most pite
ously not to be torn away; but the black
fellow violently tore her away, and in the
effort bruised the lady’s neck severely,
and carried the child out of the car on one
arm, and flourished a revolver in the other
hand, amid the plaudits of the excited
crowd. Ihe master of the girl offered to
go before the proper authorities and cxe*
cute free papers, if the girl wished to be
free, leaving the choice with herself. But
the mob would not allow it. The poor
child's screams could be heard above the
tumult, begging to go back to her mother,
who belongs to the same owners. The
master’s life being loudly threatened, he
was compelled to proceed with the train,
leaving the poor little girl iu the hands of
her ruffian captors.

Ur. John Minge, ot the City of Rich*’
ti.ocd, though a regular physician, and
of course opposed to what he called quack

effects in the case of Mr. Ramsey, were

He had been given up by several phy

Ttie coxnmox of the stomach is eff
\it a l importance. No man, woman, or
child can be healthy unless the work of
digestion is thoroughly, and
vigorously performed. With three
fourths of civilized soe'ety, this is not the
case. And yet the remedy is within the
rea'ch of all. Hoofland’s German Bitters,
prepared by Dr. C. ill. Jackson, Phila
dclu'.iia, will as surely create a regular
aud healthy action of the stomach as oil
will lessen the friction of machinery.—
Let the victim of dyspepsia or indigestion
iu any of its forms, try it, and we guaran
tee a good appetite, physical vigor, firm
oerves, sound sleep by night, and increas
ed cheerfulness by day. 2t

a very bad leg; it was covered with sores
of a most malignant character, and terrk

in their opinion that amputation of the
limb was the only thing likely to save
him, and even then his recovery was du
bious, as his health was so much shattered
The loss of a limb to a man at this peri

SITIIM LIBERAL
INSTITUTE .
THE Exercises of ibis School, at GRIFFIN,
GA., will i>e resumed on Monday, llie 7ih o!
August, for the instruction ol both Males and Fe
males, under the supervision of YVM. WAL
LACE, and such other assistance, as the best
interests 01 the School may require. Believing
that a thorough knowledge ol the Elementary
principles, con tituting as they do, the basis ot
education, should be obtained as a preparatory
step on which to reach the higher branches of a
polite and classical education, special attention
will be given to Orthography, Arithmetic, En
glish Grammar, Rules of Composition, Writing,
&.C. The Li hem 1 Institute shall be, both in the
oryand practice,what it purports tobe in name: an
Institution lor the education of Students, entirely
free from all sectarian bias or influences. While
all students entering the school will be required to
demean themselves in sue!) a manner as Vvill com
port with the strictest principles of gentility and
morality, no student will be permitted to re
main in the Institute, who manifests a disposi
tion to continue in the violation of good and
wholesome discipline. The frame and constitution
of human nature have not failed to convince the
reflecting portion of mankind, that gentle tliougd
finn systems of school discipline, under the guie
anec of moral suasion, have proved far supenh
in correcting errors and regulating actions, to to
potent rod and olhor means of terror; the tendon
cy of which i3 merely to force a compliance wit
requisitions whilst in sight— to superinduce thus
1 servile dispositions, which arc at tola! varianc
with such principles of magnanimity and
pendence as constitute the true nobility o! char
acter. The tact that the “proper study of man
kind, i3 m n,” lure proved the necessity ol introdu
cing such books ns tccl boohs which discuss the
Mental and Physical Constitution of Man,
herefore ComlJ’s Constitution ol man and
‘Mental and Physical Physiology” will be classed
with the prominent text books in the Institute.—
Arrangements are being made lor engaging the
sci vices of a competent l,ady, to take charge ol the
students who may wish to lake lessons in music,
drawing, painting, &e. The exercises of the
school will close with an unvarnished examination
of the pupils, of which due notice will be given.—
The building is large and airy, and well adapted
to educational purposes, the entire length of the
house being prepared lor the use of the malt slu
deuts.and the oil, 50 lent long, lor the females, each
room capable of accommodating 125 students.

A few short Extracts from Letters, Testimonials, &c.
*‘l have U3nd Jacob’s Cordial in my family, and, have found it a most efficient, and in my judgment,
a valuable remedy.” Hon. Hiram ‘.Varner, ox-Judge of Supreme Couit, Ga.
“It gives me Dle.asure in being able to recommend Jacob’s Cordial—my own personal experience,
and the experience of my neighbors and friends around me, is a sufficient guarantee lor me to believe.-
it to be all that it purports to be, vlz. ‘‘a sovereign remedy.” w M . u. Underwood,
Formerly Judge of Superior Court, Cherokee Circuit.
“I take greaf pleasure in recommending this invaluable medicine to all afflicted with bowel diseases,
for which i cclicve it to be a sovereign remedy—decidedly superior loany thing else cvertiied by me.” .
A. A, Gaulding, Deputy G. M. of the Grand Lodge of Georgia.
“I have used ‘Jacob’s Cordial’ in my family, and this, with a hear about it as a remedy Yy those
who have tried it, induces me to believe that it stands ai the head oi every preparation of the kind, and
would recommend its use in the disease for which it ts compounded.” Miles G. Dobdins,
Cashier ot the Bank of the Stated Georgia, Griffin.
“H there is any crediniliiv in human testimony, “Jacob’sCordiai’ must stand pre-eminent übove all
other preparations lor the cure of Bowel Diseases. From the mass of testimony in it favor coming
in from all quarters, it must be very far in advance, as a curative agent,ol most if not a-othcr ‘pate at’
preparations.” A. Fleming, Oasliter Marine and Fire Insurance Bank, Griffin.
“This efficient remedy i3 travring into celebrity as fast as Bonaparte pushed his columns into
Russia, and gaining commendation wherever used.” Georgia Jeffersonian, JWay 1915, 1853.
