Newspaper Page TextTHE CENTRAL GEORGIAN- =*: [from the cotton plant.] Savannah. Now, by St. Paul, the wark goes bravely on.—How gratifying it is to contemplate Georgia! Georgia, the empire State of the South! When the Creator of all things, by his example in the formation of the world and by his Holy Word, gave to labor the attributes of divinity, the sweat from the brow of honest toil was blessed; it is the rain which enriches and fertilizes the land. It has fertilized the barren hills and enriched the exhausted fields of Georgia. Her Rail- Roads now penetrate into Tennessee, and are rapidly progressing onward and extend ing right and reft. Savannah, her com mercial emporium, is beginning to feel the effect. Her enterprizing merchants and citizens are realizing the fruits of their en- terprize. She will soon be connected with the Gulf by railway, thus forming the ex treme south-eastern point on the Atlantic with the nearest connection with the Gulf. The port of Savannah is of the very best or der. Could not a line of steamers from Baltimore to Savannah, touching at Charles ton or a line to both places be sustained? Would not the people of Georgia and South Carolina encourage them? When Savannah has her connection with, and a stimulus is given to the coasting trade of, the Gulf of Mexico, the Texas merchants who should purchase in Baltimore in pref erence to going farther, would find it to their advantage to ship through this medi um. Savannah will some day be a great city. Charleston and Savannah must ultimately be the outlet of an immense trade. We hope the enterprise of each will meet a good reward, as will surely be the case, for it is a matter of enterprize. Both have superior advantages, but the most energetic will get the lion's share. A singular Case. Asingulai case of mesmerism, or some thing else, has occurred in this town within a few days. Anna Norwood, aged about 17, daughter of Mr. Jonathan Norwood, of Montague, was engaged doing housework in this town. On ihe evening of the 29th she was present where several gentlemen and ladies were engaged in trying to have communication with the “spirits,” by “rap- pings and tippings:” During the evening she was thrown, as was supposed, into a mesmeric state, out of which she was par tially brought sometime in the course of the night. The next forenoon she did some baking and other housework, but about noon went into a supposed mesmeric state again, in which she has remained to the present lime. On Friday, the 23d, she was taken home, to her father’s in Montague City, and one of the persons who was with her at the time of her going into the mes meric state, sent for, but he had but little in fluence over her. During the whole time she has been subject to the most distress ing convulsions, it taking from two to six men to keep her on the bed. When not in convulsions, she would frequently carry on a conversation with the persons present, always calling them by the names of those persons who were present when she went into the mesmeric state, and talking upon subjects connected with them. She lies with her eyes closed, and has the appearance of a person mesmerised. On Tuesday her mother went into a similar state, being mesmerised, as is stated, by the daughter, while attending upon her. Mr. and Mis. Cheny, of Athol, who are considered among the best “spiritual medums,” were sent for on Wednesday, and although the daughter could not be brought out of the state she was evidently benefitted, and her convul sions have been less ferquent since. Several physicians have visited her, but can not help her, and consider it the most singular case they have ever seen.—Greenfield Ga zette. The Republic, published in the same town states, in addition to the above, that Miss Norwood, on arriving home and going into the state described above, said she should continue so until Thursday even ing, at half past nine o’clock, and adds in a postscript, “that at precisely half past nine on Thursday night Miss Norwood opened her eyes, and though her spasms had not ceased, she is better, and appears to be get ting over the attact. Mrs. Norwood is also recovering.” Arrest of ait Accomplished Fe male Swindler. A female about 21 ytars of age, named Ann Eliza Burns, alias Shaw; alias Black, alias Spindler, was arrested at a respectable boarding house in Philadelphia, on 1 uesday on the charge of perpetrating numerous impositions aud fraud, and committing various larcenies in that city and the neighboring towns of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Buletin says: It has been ascertained that within the last two or three years, she has taken to herself no less than three husbands, (their names are Shaw, Black, and Spindler.) She married only two weeks ago. He is a young man of very respectable connections in Lancaster county. She has been lately traveling about and last came to this city “bank to hunt up the officers, from Belmont, Pa. Her native place was in the vicinity of Germantown. She has been in the House of Refuge for early im proprieties. In that institution she staid only a short time before winning a card of merit. At the age of thirteen she was bound out, but did not remain long in service. Her criminal career has been going on for the last seven or eight years. Among the false representations she made at differ ent times and to different persons here and elsewhere, were that she was the heiress to large fortunes on coming of age, and owned a number of fine houses in Philadel phia. Some of these buildings she took ladies to see, and pointed them out as hers. When she wedded Shaw one of her husbands she refused to let him work, saying she had plenty of means which she would soon have exclusive controll of. The impostor is an exceedingly shrewd little woman, full of fun and remarkably quiet in her demeanor. Her appearance is specious, and her manners wonderfully free from suspicion. Two lar cenies have already been traced to her— one of them the robbery of a Mrs. Bell. J£ET A backwoods Judge thus clearly de fines the crime of murder: Murder gentlemen, is where a man is murderously killed. The killer in such a case is a murder with a gun. It is the mur dering which constitutes murder in the eye of the law. You will bear in mind that murder is one thing and manslaughter an other, therefore if it is not manslaughter, it must be murder. Self-murder has nothing to do with this case. One man cannot commit felo de se on another that is clearly my view. Gentle men I think you can have no difficulty. Murder, 1 say, is murder. The murder of a father is fratricide; but it is not fratircide if a man murder his moth er. You know what murder is and I need not tell you what it is, but £ repeat that murder is murder. You may retire upon t if you like. A disastrous hail storm occured at Edge- field on Monday evening, but the damage in that village and its immediate vicinty was slight in comparison with the injury sustain ed some four or five miles to the Northeast and east of it. The Edgefield Advertiser says that the corn crop may recover, but the cotton can never regain anything like "Sts former prospects; and the wheat crop in many places is entirely ruined. A negro belonging to Dr. H. Burt was struck by light ning and immediately killed while riding from the field towards the house. It is a satisfaction, however, to learn from the Ad vertiser that the extent of country over which this hail storm passed, was not very extensive.—Chron dt Sentinel. Extraordinary Operation- Commercial circles were highly excited by an occurence which took place pn Tuesday last, in which the fair dealing of one of our largest dealers in Western produce has been seriously impugned. We forbear giv- - ing the names of parties, presuming that the affair will in due time be made public in an authentic form. As far as we can gather them from responsible sources, the facts are as follows: The large Western merchant refered to, 6ome months ago made a written contract with a firm m the city, to furnish them with 9000 barrels of pork at $15 50 per barrel. Since the con tract was made, pork has gone up $17 00 the contractor found himself in a bad scrape. On the day that the contract was to be per formed, he appeared, however, before a mem ber of the firm-of the other party^and made a tender of the pork, demanding the price immediately, to wit: the petty sum of 87,000 in cash. It was then past the bank hour, and the firm requested the contractor to wait until they could step out an draw the money. He agreed, and the members of the firm set actively to work to raise the funds. It was not long before they had raised more than enough, and had tendered the contractor a certificate of deposit of $87,000 in one of our banks. This would not satisfy the contractor, who demanded the money—the specie! Again the mem bers of the firm had to rush around to the After some trouble and tax of time, they succeeded iu getting the specie out of the bank, and put ting the boxes on a dray, trotted around to the contractor. It was near seven o’clock and they met the party coming out of his of fice after having closed up. “Here is your money for the 6000 barrels of pork, in spe cie,” exultingly exclaimed the fortunate purchasers of the pork. The reply was a model of diplomatic coolness—“Sorry, gen tlemen, but it is too late. It is past busi ness hours,—the day is over,—the contract void. Good evening.” and with an air worthy of Metternich, the enterprising gen tleman went home rejoicing over an oppera- tion which has rather startled the moral sense of our commercial public.—N. O. Delta, 6 th inst. on of the Baltimore Sun says: The election of district delegates for th e State of New York has commenced. All these elections are to be completed by the 15th. Letters from the interior of the State represent that Gen. Scott will sweep the field. All Mr. Fillmore’s Postmasters and other appointees are regularly drilled Scott men. Sowell have they been disciplined that not one of the whole army would vote for Mr Filmore. It is all nonsense to suppose that Mr. Fillmore, if a thousand times nominated could carry that State, under present cir cumstances. He must be nominated and elected, if at all without the aid of New- York. It is supposed that, out of the thir ty-five delegates to the National Whig Con vention from New-York, there may be five or six who will vote either for Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Webster. We shall see. The Sew ard organization controls the Whig party of the State, and it is devoted exclusively to Gen. Scott. The Baltimore Sun thinks, that in the event of another revolution in Hungary Brother Jonathan will bawl out at the top of his voice, for the particular notice and hearing of Russia: “Hallo, there, yeou! What ye ’bout! Stand off, yeou darned man-eatin’ monar chy, yeou! If yeou don’t keep yeou nasty fingers out o’ them Hungary folks’ chow der, I’ll bleow ye right eout o t yeour Al pine fixins into the Mediterranean! I will by golly!” A Cure for Warts.—Take a leaf of a plant called a house leek, which is quite common about house holds, peel it, bind it upon the wart when you go to bed. In the morning, the wart will be softened to such an extent that you may pull half of it off. Repeatthe application two or three nights and the excrescence will disappear, leaving no mark behind. Caught In another Ulan’* Shirt. That was rather a singular “fix” that a young gentleman got himself into, in a cer tain small town in the West, “once upon a time.” He happened to arrive at the pleas ant village of S , one autumnal eve ning and put up at its only inn; and as he entered, he heard music and dancing in an upper chamber. The landlord, who was an old acquaintance, informed him that a ball was goi ig on in the hall above, and he ask ed to go up with him to be introduced to, and join the revelers. This he declined, on the ground that he was not properly dressed for the occasion, and especially that his linen was too much soiled. “Never mind that.” said the big burly landlord, “I can give you a shirt,” and he stepped into the room, and brought a gar ment that would have been a large pattern for Daniel Lambert, and holding it up said— “There, now there is a comfortable roomy shirt for you.” Oh that would never do,” said the guest; “I would lose myself in it utterly.” On second thoughts, the landlord, could ‘do better’ for him. One of the girls was ironing some shirts in the kitchen for one of the boarders, and he would “get him one that would fit, any how.” So he disap peared and presently came in with a “sack,” into which his guest soon thrust himself, and having made a hasty toilet ascended to the ball room. Being a young man from a much larger, rather good looking withal, he found no difficulty in obtaining partners, and these happened to be a judicious selec tion from the most beautiful girls in the room. The other beaux at length began to regard him with no little jeaiousy, and one of them went so far as to say that “he’d cut the comb of the conceited cock, if he didn’t mind his eye?” and all this while the sub ject of his beligerent remarks was regarding himself with the utmost complacency, being the “observed of all observers.” Meanwhile, there was the “toot! toot! toot!” of a stage horn in the distance; pres ently the coach lumbered up to the inn, the driver threw out the mail and lines to an attendent ostler; and hastened into the bar room, having no further care nor laboriup- on his hands until next day. He was also invited by the landlord to go up stairs and join the dancers; a proposition which he at once accepted. Those were days when a stage driver was amongst the most popular men in every little community; for he had travelled and seen the world. The driver retired to change his clothes, and nothing farther was seen or heard of him until he entered the ball room, his face flushed, and his voice somewhat husky with passion, and strode into the middle of the hall. The mu sick stopped, and the driver broke the ensu ing silence with the question. “Is Mr. Samuel Jenkins, of S——, here?” “I am Mr. Samuel Jenkins, said our pop ular guest, stepping forward doubtless fan cying that some new attention was to be bestowed upon him. “Oho, you are Mr. Jenkins, be you?” “Yes, and what may your business be with me?” “Nothin only when you get through with that shirt of mine that you’ve got on your back and ar’ struttin in, I’d just thank you to leave it at the bar!” Political Couldron.—“Ion” of the Bal timore Sun, writes as follows : “Things are coming to the point indicated by Sen ator Dawson, of Georgia, and ‘the South ern conservatives of all parties will,’ as he says, rally as one party and call a conven- vention at Washington.” “The resolutions of the Whig State Con vention of North Carolina are an extin guisher upon any Southern movement for Gen. Scott—whether with a coraptomise letter or without one. In fine, the Whig National Convention must nominate Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Webster as the case may be, or they must cease to be a National Convention, and proceed to nominate Gen eral Scott as an exclusive Northern candi date. “Ifthe Southern Whigs should' require what it is now understood that some of them insist upon, to wit: that the Couven tion should be pledged to the faithful exe cution of the fugitive slave law, as the law now directs without any futuje modifica tion it is probable that a majority of the Convention will reject it. It is quite pro bable too, that they may even reject any proposition on the subject of the Compro mise, refusing to make it a test. “A hand bill has been put in circulation here with statements, the object of which is to show that Gen. Cass cannot be elected as President if nominated. It states that Gen. Cass did not obtain the full vote of the democratic party in 1848; that he got 800,000 votes, while 1,200,000 were op posed to him in the non-slaveholding States that he lost the votes of the democratic Southern States, that he cannot show as clean a bill on the compromise as MR Fill more, because he dodged the vote on the vote on the fugitive slave law; that he was twice commissioned by Adams and Clay as Governor of Michigan, and that in 1824 he wrote a letter exonerating Mr. Clay from he charges of having made a corrupt coa- tion with Mr. Adams.” Land Warrant®. In New York, Land Warrants are active and 160 acres are quoted at $120 a $125 The annexed information in regard to the transfer of Land Warrants is from Thomp son’8 Reporter: General Land office, April 20, 1152.— Sir: If the Warrantee died after the War rant was issued, the heirs, if adults, must as sign if minors, their guardians, having pre viously obLained an order from the Court having proper jurisdiction, Can alone as sign their interest therein; if there are both adult and minor heirs, the former and the guradian of the latter must unite in making the assignment. An executor cannot assign a Warrant under said act, unless specific directions are given by the testator to him to dispose of the same. If the Warranttee died before the War rant was issued, it is null and void, and must be returned to the Commissioner of Pensions, who will cancel the same and is sue another in the name of the widow, (if he left one;) if he left no widow, but minor children, the Warrant will be issued in their names; if he left neither widowo nor minor children, there exists no right in any other person thereto. Very respectfully your ob’t serv’t J- BUTTERFIELD, Coramr. To J. Thompson, Esq., Land Warrant Dea ler, No. 2 Wall-st., N. Y. Remarks.—If the warrantee died after the issuing of the warrant, proof or the fact must acompany the warrant, and proof of heirship must also accompany the warrant. This proof must consist of the certificate of a Probate Court, under seal, stating the time of the death of the Warrantee, and giving the name of the widdow‘ or, if no widow of each anp every child, designa ting which are minors anp which are of age The widow is entiled to the warrant. If there is no widow, the childreu are enti tled to it If there are neither widow nor children, thefwarrant is null and void. Cotton is King.—Charles Dickens, in a late number of his“ Household Words,” af ter enumerating the striking facts of the cotton trade, says: “Let any great social or physical convul sion visit the United States, and England would feel the shock from Land’s End to John O’ Groat’s. The lives of nearly two millions of our countrymen are dependant upon the cotton, crops of America; their destiny may be said, without any sort of hyperbole, to hang upon a thread. Should any dire calamity befall the land of cotton a thousand of our merchant ships would rot idly in dock; ten thousand mills must stop their busy looms; two thousand mouths would starve for lack of food to feed them.” Beautiful Sentiment.—From an address by J A. Bryon:—‘A mother’s love’ How thrilling the sound! The angels spirit that watched over our infant years and cheered us with her smiles! Oh! how faithfuly does memory cling to the fastfading momentoes of a parent’s home, to remind us of the sweet counsels of a mothers tongue! And oh, how instinctively do we hang over the scenes of our boyhood, brightened by the collection of that waking eye that never closed while a single wave of misfortune or danger sighed around her child!—Like the lone star of the heavens in the deep solitude of nature’s' night, she sits the presiding divinity of the family mansion, is delight and its charm its stay aud its hope, when all around « over- ( shadowed with the gloopi of despondency and iet’pair.’ Singular Physiological Fact.—A letter from Sharp’s Store, Lowndes Co, to the Milledgeville Recorder, tells the following singular circumsrance: In the ear 1845, a litle boy son of Mr. Ashley Lawson, got srangled in trying to swallow a chinquepin, and from that time he has been troubled with a cough similar to croup every winter. This spring his parents thought he would die, (being worse off than usual) but he coughed up the chinquepin On examination it had a bony covering about one-sixteenth of an inch thick on it. On removing the osseous substance, the chinquepin was found to be perfectly sound the marks were on it where he h#d scraped it with his knife before trying to swallow it. He is now in good health and is free from the cough, with which he has been troub led so long. In conclusion I would say, that there are many respectable persons who will vouch for the truth of the above state ment. Signed, JAS. R. FOLSOM. Bank of Augusta.We see by the Ala bama papers that a report was in circulation in portions of that State that the Bank of Augusta bap suspended specie payment. We will only say to our Alabama friends that there is not the slightest foundation in the report; the Bank of Augusta is one of the best managed institution in the State and if any of our Alabama friends have any of its bills on hand and will bring them to us, we will pay in specie ninty-nine cents on the dollar; if they do not like the arrange ment, they can take them to the Bank and get dollar for dollar. Death by Lightning.—During the thun derstorm, on Wednesday afternoon, about three o’clock,} Mr. Philip Martinangell, be tween 70 and 80 years of age, was killed by lightning, while standing under a tree near bis residence on Dawfuskee Island.— His dog, which was near him at the time, was also killed. A negro man, who stood near him, was knocked down by the shock 4 but not seriously injured.—Sav. News. Female Society.—You know my opinion of female society; without it we should degen erate into brutes. This observation applies, with tenfold force, to young men, and those who are in the prime of manhood. For, af ter a certain time of life, the literary man makes a shift (a poor one, I grant) to do without the society of ladies. To a young, man, nothing is so Important as a spirit of devotion—(next to his Creator) to some am iable woman, whose image may occupy his heart, and guard it from polution that be sets it on all sides. A man ought to choose his wife as Mrs. Primrose did her wedding gown, for qualities that will “wear well.’, One thing at least is true, that if matri mony has its cares, celibacy has no plesur- es. A Newton or a mere schollar, may find enjoyment in study; a man of literary taste can receive in books a powerful auxil iary; but a man must have a bosom friend, and children around him to cherish and sup port the dreariness of old age.—John RAND0LEH. An editor out West says that if “time is money,” he is willing to exchange aiittle of his for th e “hire?’ The Cut Worm.— The cold nighto and mornings for the fast two weeks, have encour aged the cut-worm, and they are making sad havoc with the corn and other vegitatkm. We know of no remedy, but constantly stir ring the earth, and exposing the rascals to the heat of the sun, as much as possible.— Chattanooga Gazette. JOT Sterne, who UBed his wife very ill was one day talking to Garrick in a fine sentimental manner, in praise of conjugal love and .fidelity. “The husband,” said Sterne,“who behaves unkindly to his wife,, deserves to have his house burnt over his head.” “If you really think so,” said Gar rick, “I hope your house is insutedl” COMMERCIAL.

Sea Island, same time last year. When we closed our last weekly review, the market continued firm, and although the sales were not very large, in consequence of the light offering stock, holders obtained full ask ing rates, and the market, for the week had ad vanced fully a quarter to a half cent. We quoted Middling Fair at nine cents. On Saturday, the first day of the week now under review, the sales were confined to 645 bales, caused by the stringent term demanded by factors, and which induced buyers, in a great measure, to withdraw from the market. That evening the Europa’s accounts were re ceived, and had no effect. On Monday, the market was considerably excited by the recep tion of private despatches from New-York, an nouncing an advance in that market, with large sales. This news had a corresponding influ ence here, and the sales that day reached 700 bales, at an advance of an eighth to a quarter of a cent on Saturday’s quotations. On Tues day, the market continued active, and 866 bales changed hands. Prices continued to advance, and the market closes decidedly more in favor of holders thaH on the previous day. On Wed- nesday, the sales were limited to_ 464 bales, caused principally by the high asking rates of holders, to which buyers demurred. On Thurs day forenoon, the market opened languid, and 569 bales were sold; and although we noticed no quotable change, prices were easier. At noon, seven days later intelligence from Europe by the steamer Canada, came to hand, which reported the Liverpool market active, with large sales during the week, but no change in rates. These accounts were considered favor able, but they arrived too late to develope their effect on the market, and we heard of no sales after they became known. The foreign accounts by the Canada induc ed holders to stiffen their asking rates, and the market closed firmer yesterday than any day during the week. The light stock on sale has enabled holders to realize during the week an advance of a quarter to a half cent. The sales yesterday were 402 bales, viz: 9 bales at 8,46 at 8 5-16,25 at 8 1-2, 144 8 3-4, 62 at 9, 9 at 9 1-8, and 107 at 91-4, cts.

IMPROVED BOTANICO MEDICAL PRACTICE- m loa^ra iaob. ax. s. NEAR spier’s TURNOUT, JEFFERSON COUNT*,©.*, npHE undersigned, at the close of a this# J- years residence in Jefferson county, has the pleasure of announcing to its citizens and those of the surrounding country, that the ays* tern of Practical Medicine adopted and pro. mulgated bv him, has been crowned with th# most gratifying success, and been adheredte by many of the most respectable families with the utmost degree of confidence. To him, this result is the more gratifying, obtained as it has been, in the face of an adverse, power, ful and interested opposition, without extrane ous influences, but simply from the irresistible conviction produced upon the mind by the ex traordinary cures of hopeless and given-over cases of a Chronic character, (that have at tended the exhibition of his remedies; ao ab sorbing, in deed, has this conviction become, and so diffusive is its influence, that from eve* ry portion of the surrounding country applica tions for relief are pouring in, both by mail and private hand. He is fully prepared to treat disease in it* various modifications, especially those of * Chronic character, with innocent vegetable remedies. In publishing the annexed certificates, the subscriber is actuated by a desire that they be subjected to the most rigid scrutiny, not only as to the main facts, but also to the permanency of the cures. The following are two of the many certificates that could be produced. Swainsboro’, 20th October, 1861. This may certify that for upwards of tw# years, I have had a disease in my chest which was very distressing to me, attended with * severe cough, occasionally spitting of blood, and sometimes almost stopping my breath in such a way as to make me believe that my end was near. After using a great many different articles recommended to me by my neighbors, without any benefit, I applied to a Mineral Physician, but with the like result. Hearing of the success that Dr. Sage had acquired in the treatment of Chronic diseases, I concluded to try him, and accordingly made application, and am happy, and proud to say, that with two prescriptions he has entirely cured me, so that now I enjoy as good, if not better, health than I ever did. Richard C. Edenfielb. DYSPEPSIA CURED!!! Holcomb, Burke Co., Dec. 26,1859. This is to certify that for the last five year* I have been greatly afflicted with Dyspepsia, ot derangement of the digestive organs; every thing 1 ate disagreed with roe, and caused much distress in the stomach, accompanied with bout eructations, heartburn, &c., from which I could get no relief, short of vomiting. Host flesh very fast, and became so feeble that I could not work, and life itself was no satisfaction to me. In this condition, after having madeluse of a great many different remedies without at* taining any relief, I applied to Dr. Sage, who undertook my case, and I am proud to say, that from the first day I comrocnced.to take bis medicine, I began to mend, until now, my health seems so thoroughly restored, that my flesh and strength have returned, and I can now enjoy the usual comfort of life with pleasure* being now able to do as much work as I ever could, without experiencing any feelings of in convenience afterwards—and all this with only three prescriptions and medicine, at the trifling cost of fifteen dollars. I have been induced to make ti e above statement, from the hope that my fellow-men may be benefitted by giv ing the Doctor a trial before yielding them selves to the demon of despair. William Steven#. Satisfied that there are thousands thatm«y be cured if they will, the undersigned can only assure them that should they deem it their in terest to employ him, he will do all that in him lies, to secure to each such favorable results.
