I ought, also, to have taken more especial

long, hovwver, for the loud talking in the
Squire’s ‘office’ scon aroused us, and weriis-
tened to a conversation highly interesting
to us. It seemed that Joacum Gulic, Old
Joe, a clever, sober, close-fisted neighbor of
the Squire’sy had called in to talk about the
‘crops,’ and matters and tilings in general..
‘Well, Squire,’ said Mr, Gulic, ‘do you
know where a fellow can buy a right smart

‘Really, uncle Joe, I don’t .know at this

You know the opportunity of physicking
a baby is not to be missed. Medicine is
meant to do children “good,” and therefore
it ought to be given. If a • child cries, run

wanted in two or three places at once. So,
to provide against the contingency, run to

The exhibition in these, departments was
far superior to that of last year. The sam
ples of corn, wheat, and cotton shown were
very numerous and of very superior quality ;
There was much spirit shown among the
competitors for the prizes. The committee
however were too much pressed and hurried
to make full and ample reports of many
merchants articles which did, not obtain pre
miums but which deserved especial notice.

relating to’its history is of interest.. There
fore/bam induced f6 give a little informa
tion I lately obtained of the great staple.
I rode, a few days. since, six miles below
this place, to see my old friend Thos. 1 albot,
and his kitchen and barn. Mr. ialbot is
eighty-three years old, in full possession ot
his faculties and is living where he settled
sixty-twb years ago. W liitney, the inventor
of the cotton, gin, settled a plantation adjoin
ing him, on which he placed one ol his giust
the first that was used in Wilkes county,
perhaps the first in the State. He and his
partner, Durkee, erected a gin house, and a
large cotton house—the latter to hold the
cotton they expected to receive irom custo
mers to gin. The;gin house was grated, so
that visitors might look through and see
the cotton flying from, without seeing the
gin. He suffered women to go in the gin
hiiUse to" see the machinery, not apprehend
ing that tliey could betray his secret to
builders. Lyon, who" lived some eight or
ten miles above this place, by dressing him
self in women’s clothes, procured admittance,
and came out and made his improvement,
the saw gin. Mr. Talbot says that Billy
McFerran, a little Irish blacksmith, who
died a few years ago in this county, made
the saws, the first Ah at ever were made.
Durkee, W'hitney’s partner, beipg dissipated
and inattentive to business, lie sold out his
place, and the gin and cotton house coming
into the possession of Mr. Talbot, he moved
them to tliis place. The former is now his
kitchen, and still has its long grated win
dows, as in the tim'e of Whitney. The cot
ton house makes a large and commodious
barn. Mr. Talbot says that Allison or Elli
son, who had been connected with W liitney
in business, told him that the latter got his
first idea of the invention from a gin used to
prepare rags for making paper, and which
he saw on a wrecked vessel.
On the place sold by Whitney, was eree
ted, in 1811, a cotton factory, and, I pre
sume the-first in the State. The prime
mover in the enterprise was a Mr. Bolton of
Savannah, a merchant who spent his sum
mers, then, in' Washington-. Mr. Talbot
had four shares. The factory had one hun
dred.and sixty, spindles, §ost $1400, and
•made fifty yards of cloth a day, w hich sold
from fifty, cents to one dollar per yard. The
weaving was done by. handioom weavers,

Attempt So Assassinate the Shah
otPersia. •
Constantinople, Sept.^Y3.
The Erzeroora post has brqiight letter# to
the 9tli inst. from that city, and to the 28th
Aug. from Tabi eez. On the 15th of Aug.
an attempt to assassinate the Shah of Per
sia had taken place at Tehran. The Shah,
accompanied by; bis s Prime Minister and by
a numerous suite/had quitted that day Kas-
ri-Milak ou a hunting excursion, and had
reached the skirt of a wood near Maveranda,
when six ill-dressedPersons, with petitions,
approached the Shall,, who at once drew in
the reins of his. horse and took, the papers
held out to him. It is usual in Persia on
similar excursions for jjhe Sovereign to pro
ceed alone, and keep his Ministers and at
tendants at a distance of several hundred
yards, and when he stops they do likewise.
.The petitioners were of the sect of Babi, and
after delivering their papers, two seized the
bridle of the horse, and the other four sur
rounded the felxah, and loudly, and with
menacing gesture, demanded redress for the
insult done- to their religion by having put
their chief to death. The Shah courage-,
ously ordered them off, but before his suite
came up, two of the finatie rufflim-s drew
their pistols and fired at him, two balls of
which took effect; the first wounded him
in the mouth, and the second slightly graz
ed his thigh. Immediately after this at
tempt they took to their heels, hotly pur
sued by the attendants. Three contrived
to escape in the wood, one was cut dqwn by
the Muitezimer Rikiab, aad tlie other two
were seized and conveyed to Tehran/for the
purpose of obtaining a clue to the conspirq-
cy. - •
The Shah’s wounds were so slight that
the next day'he proceeded in grand pomp
to the mosque, in order to ofler his thanks
giving for his miraculous escape. On his
return to’the palace, the Ministers and the
Russian and English Ambassadors,, and the
Charge,d’ Affaires of the Porte, in full cos
tume, congratulated him. Public rejoicings

intelligence had been received of the seizure
of the three assassins who had effected their
escape, and concealed themselves in the
wood. They were discovered in a well, and
were drawn out and cut to pieces, according
to the orders given by the Prime Minister.

In this connection, it may be interesting
to say, that during the war-of 1812, cotton
was hauled from this country to Baltimore
and Philadelphia, and the wagons loaded

came lately in the paper that Congres Lad

‘Well, tisn’t fair; its rascally! /What
right has these editors to get all the news
and keep - it to themselves ?’
‘Ah ! uncle Joe, you misunderstand it.—
Editors and printers labor pight and day to
gather the news and give it to the people,
to instruct their readers—to inform them all
the improvements of the age, and amelio
rate the condition of society. Their paper
goes abroad, recommending our people and
country to interested and intelligent emi
grants. Can they labor thus for nothing ?
Should they not be paid ? Is there a man
who is notbenefitted by a paper? Is not
every subscriber repaid four fold for the pit
tance of $2, his subscription price ?’
‘Stop, Squire ? stop right there. ? I’m
going to take the;paper, I’ll take six, and
send some back to my,.kinsfolks in Georgia.’
‘You needn’t go as far as far as that—
here’s the editor right in the room.’

the Boston Medical mid Surgical Journal,
sags:
“I wish to communicate a fact to you that
has recently fallen under my observation,
which may be of some interest to the profes
sion "enerally. All physicians are aware of
the salivating effect of calomel, and of the
inconvenience that arises from sore mouths
and other irritating complaints that affect
the patient. 1 have had several persons
under my. care, to whom I have mixed with
supercarbonate bf soda, in proportion of
about twice the amount by weight of soda.
To one patient, in particular/whom I have
attended for about two weeks, I have given
three grains of calomel with six grains of
soda daily for five weeks,- besides adminis
tering it frequently the rest of the time* As
yet he has not suffered at all from the sali
vating effect of the calomel, which has nev
ertheless been yqry beneficial to. him. Is it
possible that; these were all persons.not sus
ceptible to salivation ? or is the absence of
salivation to be attributed to the superniar-
bbhate of soda?” ^
Any one who can alleviate the horrible
distresses of salivation, will certainly be a
great human benefactor,
JLatc Storm in Lowade* and
Tboiaa».
The storm and hurricane which devasta
ted Apalachicola and other portions of Flor-.
ida, has,had its effeect upon parte of South
ern Georgia. The following is a letter from
Nabira, Lowndes Co., to Abe MlUedgevilla
Recorder:
We have been visited with the severest
storm that has ever been experienced in thi»
part of tffe country. It commenced to rain
occasional ligbtjshowers on the morn tag of
the 9th, about 8 o'clock, and gradually in
creased—beginning about 10 o’clock to
thunder a little, About 3 o’clock the wind
began to blow, and as it increased the rain
gradually slacked, only when the wind blew.
It came on so suddenly, that by 4 o’clock it
commenced to blow down trees pretty fast
and by five, it seemed as though not even a
dry shelter would be left.
There has, I suppose, been what we call .
hurricanes that has in a few moments dono;’
much harm, though they are not. so exten
sive, and-consequently seldom do as muck
damage. About six o’clock the flaws of
wind became less frequent, and about nine
it ceased to do injury.
I was told by a gentletnan travelling that
it was wbr,-,e in the farther edge of Thomas
county than here.
It is impossible to say wbat damage has
been done—certain.it is that a great deal of
the cotton'is blown out and lost; and where
com was not gathered, there is a great loss-
in it. It has destroyed some stock, but how
much, not known. Yours, truly, F. R.'

In the ease of the Art Union we-
We learn from Albany, N. Y., that the Court
of Appeals have decided as folfows:
In the sujt brought against the Art U- :
nion by the District Attorney, in the name
of the Governors of the Alms House, the da-,
cision of the Court below is reversed. This
decision of theCourt of Appeals leaves the
property of the Art Union in the hands of
present stock-holdei’s and managers, as it
stood before the commencement of the suit*
in the Supreme Court. Upon the question 1
as to whether the Art Union is, a lottery,
within the intent and meaning of the Con-,
stitution/the Court is equally divided, and ■
no decision is given.
In the suit entitled The People vs. The
Art Union, (instituted for the purpose of
testing whether the Union was or was not
in violation of the statutes prohibiting all
games of chance,) the decision of the Court
is, that the distribution of the Art Union, as
heretofore conducted, was illegal, and with
in the law prohibiting raffling and gaming;
that the Act of 1846, amending the charac
ter of the Art Union, is not sufficiently ex- *:
plicit upon this point.
