Fine Chewing Tobacco.
Mr. J. W. Sappington has presented us
with several samples of fine chewing to
bacco, which is of anew brand, and put
up in a style entirely new and very con
venient. Not being addicted to its use, it
was submitted to the judgment of several
others, who have been giving it a practi
cal test ever since. They pronounce it
to be of a first rate quality. Lovers of j
the weed prepared expressly for chew- j
ing, would do well to call at Sapping
ton’s and try it.
Sport anti Usefulness Combined.
Mr. W. It Inraau, connected with the
House of Ibbotsou & Cos., New Orleans,
lias exhibited to us “Illson’s Animal
Trap,” of which he is the proprietor. It
was invented in England, and patented
for England and America. It is a simple
and ingenious contrivance, and may well
be termed a terror to animals. Few ani
mals can escape it when properly set.
Floated on the water, ducks, geese, &c.,
can be caught, and set upon the land,
foxes, minks, rabbits an 1 even wild tur
keys may be ensnared and taken. It is
without doubt, a cheap and useful inven
tion, and we do not hesitato thus to rec
ommend it. Mr. Inman may be found
during his stay in this city, at the Perry
House.
America Illustrated.
We have seen the prospectus of the
above work, which is a history of North
and South America from its first diseov
cry to the present Administration. It
embraces an account of the early discov
ery by the Northmen, Spaniards, Portu
guese, French, English, Dutch, &c., with
their sufferings in founding the Colonies;
wars with the Indians; an account of
the various revolutions of the several
Colonies, with the subsequent history of
the Republics thus established, by Henry
Brownell, A. M., in two volumes. An ad
ditional attraction of the work is its
beautiful steel engravings, by the first
artists of the country. The work we re
gard as very valuable, and a decided im
provement on any previous history of
America.
Eds. Sun : I find myself announced in

find myself announced in the other daily
papers over different signatures. But,
with many thanks to those friends whose

put forward my name for this honora
ble and responsible office, I take this oc
casion to state publicly, that I am no

you will at once withdraw my name from

Entertainment at Temperance Hall.
To-night it will be remembered Prof.
Love, assisted by Madame Love, give their
first entertainment at Temperance Hall.
The press generally speak in high terms
of their performances. Asa specimen, ;
we take the following from the N. 0. ;
Delta :
The shouts of applause and laughter
which came from Armory Hall last night,
iuformed the uninitiated passer-by that
something extraordinary was going on j
within. Professor and Madame Love ‘
seemed to exert thetnSfelves to please the ]
large aud appreciative audience which had
assembled to witness their feats of magic,
ventriloquism, &C. That they did so,
none could doubt, who watched the smil
ing faces of those who sat the entire en
tertainment through, and only left reluc
tantly after the curtain had fallen. The
Professor did a number of new aud beau
tiful experiments, defying the closest
scrutiny. Madame Love in her role was
excellent, and became a favorite with the
audience from the first.
The Professor promises to perform a
trick which will surpass anything ever
attempted in this city. He agrees to take
any lady from the assembly and make her
; become invisible to all in the house, while
she still retains her seat, not by envel
oping her with anything tangible either
Every body should go to Armory Hall to
see these extraordinary performances.
Melancholy Suicide.
New York, Nov. 22.—John D. Win
slow, agent of Sackett. Davis & Cos., Jew
i elers, committed suicide by shooting hitn
| self through the head. The cause of this
| act was attributed to the fact that yester
I day he entrusted a box ot jewelry valued
|at $3,000 to a colored porter to convey
Ito the office of Draper, Thrifft & Cos..
i which, not being delivered, he supposed
■ was sloleu. He informed the police, who
j- were unable to recover it.
Before the commission of the deed, he
wrote letters to his mother at Providence.
1 This morning his employers and Mr.
■ Arnold recovered the box, which had been
left by mistake at another jewelry estab
lishment in Market street.

SPECIAL NOTICKS.
To the Physicians of the Southern States :
Wolfe’s Genuine Cognac Brandy.
Wolfe’s Genuine Port Wine.
Wolfe’s Genuine Madeira Wine.
Genuine Sherry Wine.
I am now supplying the trade with pure Cognac
P<ramiy, in bottles, both for medical and private
use. The immense success that has crowned my
efforts toplacei a pure Gin within the reach of all,
under the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps,
and to drive out of the market the pernicious com
pounds sold as Gin throughout the country, led
many leading druggists, apothecaries and medical
men, for some years past, to solicit mo to pursue
the same course in regard to the article of Brandy.
I should have complied with these requests from
all quarters long ago, but was deterred from it bf
the fact, that owing to the exhorbitant prices of
Brandy in France, consequent upon tlie shortness
of the grape crop for some years, there was no
chance of my being able to inport the choicest
Brandy, bottle it and sell it at moderate prices.
Fortunately for me, the grape crop for the last and
previous year (anil the prospect for this) was
abundant, and prices of Brandy have fallen to
the standard of ten years ago. The duty on Brandy
is also seventy per cent lower, and I have now
made arrangements with four B-andy exporters
iu Franco, of the highest repute, and am regularly
receiving consignments of the best Cognac Brandy,
which I am bottling and selling.as Wolfe’s Genu
ine Cognac Brahdy. I guarantee, with my seal,
labels and certificates, the Brandy so bottled by
me, as the pure, unadulterated article, and it will
be found, when used as a medicine, a beverage, or
a cordial, healthful and invigorating. It haß been
a matter of universal complaint, that a bottle of
pure, unmixed French Brandy, was very difficult
to obtain, and tlio purchaser, nine times iu ten,
was deceived with a vile manufactured imitation.
Os all descriptions of ardent spirits, Brandy, from
its high price, has been the one articlethat mixers
and sellers have turned their attention to, and
millions of gallons of the so-called French Brandy
have been scattered annually through the lamb
and have been the primary cause of murders, sni.
cides, cruelties and crimes, and have sent thou
sands loan early grave, self-destroyers, from de.
lirium tremens, mania-a-potu and horrors, names
unknown, until unprincipled men began to make
madlenicg compounds and sell it as the pure
French Brandy.
The virtures of pure French Brandy need not
be told by me. They are known throughout the
world as a medicine or mild stimulant. It is, as
the French nation poetically call it “Eau de la
vie,” Ihe water of life. But this applies to it only
when pure and unadulterated. Manufactured with
the fearful ingredients tliatmake agood imitation,
it becomes a death drink to innocent tens of thou
sands of onr race. To remedy a fearful evil, I
have commenced importing Brandy, bottling it,
and eelling it as “Wolfe’s Genuine Cognac Bran
dy.” lam daily receiving orders from the drug
gists and apothecaries in all parts of the Union, to I
sell it lor medical purposes.

COMMERCIAL.
DAILY SUN OFFICE, 1
Columbus, Ga.. November 29.1859. J
COTTON.—The receipts on yesterday were
bales. The market is quite dull, only a few
-mall lot-, not exceeding 25 hales, changed
hands, at former prices. Shippers are dilatory
| in coming forward, while factors are holding
on. being unwilling to submit to a reduction.
Review for the. week tTiding .Vote 26 th, 1850.
We are called upon to report a week of
“masterly inactivity” in Cotton. It opened,
progressed and closed, in every material re
spect, similar to last week : the transactions
in-doors have been restricted to such planters’
lots as were instructed to be sold without
limit; in the absence of anything like a gen
eral demand, factors have not felt it a duty to
press discretionary cottons; local speculators
cannot sell without loss, and they have made
every effort to “ hold on 2’ in the mean time
| their stocks are accumulating, and the weight
; more'and more difficult to carry. The business
of the week lias been mostly on the streets for
account of shippers, and these sales, we would
again state, arc not included in the report of
daily transactions.
During the past two weeks planters have
been more inclined to store; the most of them
having sold a majority of their crops, are dis
j posed to speculate on future prices; they have
! certainly never been in a better position to do
i so. The very high value placed upon lands
and negroes has diminished the inducement
to invest hurriedly in that kind of property.
| Cotton at 10c. is regarded cheaper and a better
article to hold than property at its present valu
ation.
The particulars of daily transactions are too
unimportant to claim especial note. The sales
on Monday footed 239 bales; on Tuesday 258
bales; on Wednesday 827 bales; Thursday be
i ing a holiday nothing was reported; Friday 631
bales; and Saturday 56 bales.
During the week there have been some or
ders executed for fine cotton, say 200 bales
classing Middling Fair to Fair at 10%c., and one
sale reported of about 50 bales at lie; the pro
portion of this class of cotton is so very small
this season, that we feel authorized in omitting
them in our quotations.
In submitting tire following quotations we
would remark, that they are the asking rates
that would bring considerable cotton on sale;
at what prices it would be necessary to submit
to induce purchasers, it is not with us to say :
QUOTATIONS.
Low Middling 9 y, to 9%
Middling 9% to 10
Strict Middling 10% to 10%
Good Middling to Middling Fair.. .10% to 10%
Middling Fair to Fair nominal
Receipts for the week have been 5,937 bales,
being 1,204 bales in excess of the corresponding
week of last year. The total for the season is
9,391 bales short of last year.
Shipments lrave this ’week been much the
largest of the season. The Muscogee Rail Road,
with a large increase of freight cars, has been
able to clear its yard of cotton, and thus silence
the complaints of shippers, of which they have
had so much cause for some weeks. A fall of
rain the early part of the week has given us a
very good river to Apalachicola, and several
hundred bales have taken that direction; seve
ral hundred bales have gone to Montgomery for
shipment to the Gulf.

IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO SAY
SINCE ALL,
OLD AND YOUNG
AFFIRM ITS TRUTH.
YIZ: THAT
Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative
WILL preserve infallibly the growth and color
of the hair, if used two or three times a
week, to any imaginable age. Perfectly restore
the gray, cover the bald with nature’s own orna
ment, the hair; make it more soft and beautiful
than any oil, and preserve the scalp free from all
diseases to the greatest age. Statesmen, Judges,
Attorneys, Doctors, Clergymen, Professional men,
and Gentlemen and Ladies of all classes, all over
the world, bear testimony that we do not say too
much in its favor. Head the following, and judge:
Hickory Grove, St Charles Cos., Nov. 19, 1867.
Prop. O. J. Wood —Dear Sir: Some time last
summer we were induced to use some of your Hair
Restorative, aud its effects were so wonderful we
feel it our duty, to you and the afflicted, to re
port it.
Our little son’s head for some time had been
perfectly covered with 60res, aud some called it
scald head. The hair almost entirely came off in
consequence, when a friend, seeing his sufferings,
advised us to use your Restorative, we did so with
little hope of success, but to our surprise, and
that of all our frifnds, a very few applications re
moved the disease entirely, and anew and luxo
riant crop of hair soon started out, und we can
uow say that our boy has as healthy a scalp, aud
as luxuriant a crop of hair as any other child.
We can, therefore, and do hereby’, recommend
your Restorative, as a perfect remedy for all
diseases of the scalp and hair. We are yours re
spectfully, GKO. W. IiIGGKNBOTHAM,
SARAH A. HIGGENBOTHAM.
Prof. Wood —Dear Sir: My hair had, for sev
eral years, been becoming premalurely gray, ac
companied by a harshness which rendered the
constant application of oil necessary in dressing it.
When I oomuienced using your Hair Restorative
about two months ago it was in that condition;
and having continued the use till within the last
three weeks, it has turned to its natural color,
and assumed a softness and lustre greatly to be
preferred to those produced by the application of
oils or any other preparation I have ever used. I
regard it as an indispensable article for every la
dy’s toilet, whether to bo used as a Hair Restora
tive or for the simple purpose of dressing or beau
tifying the hair. You have permission to refer to
me all who entertain any doubt of its performing
all that is claimed for it.
MRS. C. SYMONDS.
Cincinnati, Ohio. Feb. 10, 1857. 114 Third st.
Wellington, Mo., Dec. 5,1857.
Prof. Wood —Dear Sir: By the advies of a friend
ol►mine, who had been using your Hair Restora
tive, I was induced to try it. I had the fever,
some time last May, and nearly every hair in my
head came out. Now my hair has come in a great
deal thicker than ever it was. Nothing but a duty
and sympathy that 1 feel to communicate to oth
ers who are afflicted as I have been, would induce
me to give this public acknowledgement of the
benelit I have received from Prof. Wood’s Hair
Restorative. Yours respectfully.

AMERICAN WATCHES,
MADE BY THE
American Watch Compaii),
AT WALTHAM, MASS.
Attention is invited to the following statement
sud the arroTupany lug letters of recommendation
; *°d testimonials of these celebrated Watches.
A gold modal was awarded the C> uipany I-y the
: Massachusetts Mechanical Association, 1856.
A gold medal was also awarded them by tbo
American Institute at New York, in 1857.
The Company also received the first premium—
a gold medal—from the Franklin Institute. Phila
delphia, in 1858.
These watches have now been in the market for
nearly ten years, during which time they haTe
teen tested as to accuracy, durability aud cilia
biiity, in every conceivable manner, and have
proved themselves to he the most satisfactory
time-pieces evtr offered to the public.
This result has been biought about by a stiict
application of mechanical science to the construc
tion of the Watch from its very inception, render
ing it, when finished, mathematically correct in all
its proportions, and. necessarily, as perfect a time
keeper as it is possible to make.
Thu Company have tested their Watches, in
many instances, by actual daily noting, and the
result of this test has been that they have exhibited a
rate equal in reyularity to the best Marine Chronom
eter. The following certificates are from geutle
uien who have carried their Watches with them in
their daily avocations, and are, therefore, reliable
indications of what msy be expected ft cm the
American Watch when in ordiuary active use:

Mr. R. E. Robdixs, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir: —The American watch, No. 9240,pre
sented me by the New York Chess Club, has
proved to be a most reliable aud accu: ate time
keeper—almost unnecessarily so for oidinary pur
poses. It is now nearly five months siuce it came
into my possession, and during that period its
variation fri in standard lime has been but a trifle
mote than halt a minute. The following is a
record of its performance. It was set June 3d,

Mr. K. E. Rollins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—lt gives me great pleasure to com
ply with your request for a report of the perform
ance of the American watch which I purchased
of you Dec. 2d, 1858. It wa set on that day, aud
its vaiiation from true time to tße 19th of Febru
ary, 1859, let it run down, was ten seconds
fast. From that time to the present, it has run
with nearly perfect steadiness, having, during the
eight months, varied not more than two seconds,
and this with uncommonly rough usage I can
commend your manufacture in the highest terms.
Yours truly, JAMES H. CLAPP.

them, without exception, have fulfilled my guar
anty, and have given satisfaction to the purcha
sers. GEORGE E. PORTER.
Willton Bluff, S. C., Oct. 20,1859.
R. E. Robbins, t.sq.:
Drar Sir:—The three watches of your manu
facture which 1 purchased to tensed on my plan
tation, have proved to be the most correct time
keepers I have ever known. I gave my head
servant, my head carpenter, and my head engi
neer, each, one of them; and since they have
been iu their respective possession, everything
on the plantation bag moved like clock-work, in
consequence of the extreme accuracy and regu
larity with which these watches perform.

Dear Sir :—I take great pleasure in being able
to certify that for the last six months 1 have car
ried a watch from the manufactory of the Ameri
can Watch Company, aud that it has given per
fect satisfaction as a time-keeper. Judging from
tlio one I have, I do not hesitate to predict that
the day is not far distant when watches made in
the United States will supercede all others.
JAMES FLOY, D. D.

R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—I take pleasure in stating that the
American watch I have of your manufacture,
performs to my entire satisfaction, rnnning regu
larly at the rate of thirty seconds fast per month.
Capt: GORHAM H. BASSETT.
R. K. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir, —The watch I bought of you—one of
your adjusted Chro. Bal. movements —runs to my
entire satisfaction. For the past three months it
has not varied more than one minute, and is now
runuing at that rate. It has seen tlie hardest
service in every way in point oflocomotion.
Your* truly, C. C. SHEAFE.
New Haven, Conn., Sept. 27tb.
R. E. Robbins, Esq.:
Dear Sir:—Yours of the 23d was duly received.
Iu reply I would say, that the An erican watch
No. 6939, has proved itself one of the best watches
for r ‘ilway purposes.
The American watch, in my opinion, is far bet
ter than any watch I have used for the last four
teen years on railroads. I remain, respectfully
yours, G. A. FULLER,
Conductor New Haven, Hartford and
Springfield R. R.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos :
Dear Str:—The American watch that I pur
chased of you about a year since, runs with great
exactness; its variations being so slight that I
have not found it necessary to set it for several
months. Yours truly, WM. B. SPEAR.
CAUTION.—As our Watch is now extensively
counterfeited by foreign manufacturers, we have
to inform the public that no Watch is of our pro
duction which is unaccompanied by a certificate of
genuineness, bearing the number of the Watch,
and signed by our Treasurer, R. E. ROBBINS,or
by our predecessors, APPLETON, TRACY A CO.
4S“As these Watches are for sale by Jewelers
generally throughout the Union, we do not so
licit orders for single Watches. For the American

A CARD.
MR. JOHN ROBINSON, formerly of the firm
of Robinson A Kldred, now senior of the
firm of Robinson A Lake, is pleased to announce
that in a few days his extensive, and completely
organized Troupe, will visit Columbus, and would
beg the public to lecall that his exhibitions have
ever been regarded as entirely satisfactory. There
has been but one verdict in the South, and that
has been, that Robinson A Eldred, when con
nected in business, always gave tbo best show of
any company traveling. Mr. R. now pledges
himself that his present company is equal, aye,
superior to any of his previous combinations, and
trusts tho public will discriminate between his
Troupe and the numerous trifling little humbugs
that steal the Thunder of Great Exhibitions, aud
swindle the communities through which they
pass. His Company will visit, during its present
tour, the whole country, from Mason A Dixon’s
line to tho Floridas, and from the Land of Flowers
to the baso of the Rocky Mountains, to that his old
patrons will have an opportunity to witness the
entertainments of n Genuiue Menagerie and Cir
cus ; and are politely requested to let the little
humbugs pass by, and wait for the Big Show.
Posters and large Pictorial Bills will announce
the exact timo of the arrival of the Company.
MR. WM. C. PRESTON, the Traveling Agent,
