duced, and iis u..ppy .captation to the cure of
all the distressing diseases for which it is of
fered ; being those incidental to the respecta
ble female, whether married or single, and
usually known by the name oi Female Com
plaints. Of these are Prolapsus Uteri, or
Falling of the Womb; Fluor Albus, or Whites;
Chronic Injlamation and Ulceration of the
Womb; Incidental Hcemorrhage, or Flooding;
Painful, suppressed and Irregular Menstrua
tion, *e., with all their accompanying evils,
(Cancer excepted.) no matter how severe or ot
how long standing. s
That this Catiiolicon is in every way wor
thy of the confidence of the afflicted as a suc
cessful, sale, and cheap remedy, is vouched tor
by the fact of its having received the approbat
tion and liberal patronage of many prominen-
members of the
medical faculty
in the United JStates ; and also by the volunta
ry testimonials given in the pamphlets, from
Ladies and Physicians of the highest respect
ability, as certified by the most satisfactory
authority.
This preparation is not a “cure all,” but is
intended expressly for the above-named com
plaints, so very distressing in their nature and
consequences, and which have heretofore re
sisted the skill and exertions of the most ac
complished Physicians of all countries, toa
degree beyond that of perhaps any other ma
lady to which the Human family is heir.
The ingredients,as certiliced by high med
ical authority, (see pamphlet,) are all vege
table, and are not associated with any article
unfriendly to the animal economy.

of the roots and grubs which threatened ev
ery moment to knock the old buggy to
atoms.
A little farther on in the wood was a
log cabin, which the doctor earnestly de
sired to behold, and hoped to reach in safe
ty. Its hospitable door at length ap pea.red
in view, the old horse needed no elfck,
and stopping short befmte it, the little doc
tor, who was standing ready for a l«»n
was thrown head first into a nice soft
hole, from whence he. scrambled, awl
ing open the door sprang into the room,
and sank nearly fainting into the first chair
he saw. “What in the name of all that’s
airthly is the matter ?” exclaimed the strap
ping mistress of the house. “Why iMRoc
ain’t got a fit, or somethin’ worser^’m
blessed;” at that moment the murderous
horseman dashed up to the door. “The
desperate villain,” muttered the poor doctor
springing from his seat and diving for the
better concealment of his person, into
large box in the corner of the room, from
whence issued a tremendous cackling. The
stranger entered. “Good evening, Mrs.
Powers; is the Doctor here 1” “Yes, bless
you, Mr. G., but in such a fix, oh ! he’s got
in atop of my seltin’*hen and smashed all
her eggs ; the only hen, too, that’s a settin’
early. I do think he’s crazy.” “I think so
too,” said Mr. G , “for I’ve been bunting
him for this last half hour through the mud
for a prescription, and couldn’t get him to
stop on any terms.”
The poor little miserable crest fallen doc
tor, crept from his hiding place, and gave
the desired prescription, without one word,
but to this day cannot bear the sight of Mr.
G , and always eyes him askance when
he meets him, with s kind of a ‘keep at a
distance, air, while Mr. G can never
see the little doctor either at home or abroad
without a smile to the rnemory_of-the dirty
flight he gave him.

SANDERSVILLB, dBORGIA
In a little village in Western Illinois,
there resided a very worthy, very knock
kneed, very timid son of Esculapius, (who
shall be nameless, lest he might chance to
see himself figuring as the hero of this lit
tle sketch,) whose ‘pretty considerable prac
tice,’ as be said himself, kept him everlast-
ingly trundling about in an old wreck of a
buggy, drawn by a gaunt, unhappy-looking
horse, with that peculiar cast of countenance
which a hardy used animal of his species
ever possessed.
The little doctor’s practice was so extend
ed, and the farmers so thinly scattered over
a large tract of laDd, that ‘fair as foul’ he
was always on the go, and even then would
not attend on every call made on him.
The day I write of was a drizzly, dirty,
foggy day, in the latter end of March, when
one could hardly distinguish a red bouse
with a green door a long rifle shot off.—
The little doctor was ploughing his weary
wav through good eight inches of mud, to
some far distant patient, along a bleak de
serted road, leading through a thick heavy
wood, or grove, as we call them here. The
day was fast verging to a close, and the
little man was sadly ruminating upon his
dreary drive, when he was startled by a
hoarse call from a by-path running round
the base of a rocky knoll, The poor doctor
trembled unconsciously, drew up bis horse,
and glanced fearfully around! The place
had a bad name, a pedlar had been robbed
and neatly murdered not twenty yards
from that very spot. Unabl8 to move, the
wretched little doctor sat gazing at the
place until the sudden appearance of an
ominous looking horseman on a fiery bay
mare, coming around the knoll, gave him
desperate energy, and cutting his poor tired
animal with the whip, he started off at a
slashing paoe. '
“Hillo! hold on there!” shouted the
stranger, increasing his speed.
“Golong Ned ! golong old fellow ’’’ cried
the little doctor framically, belaboring his
poor frightened horse, who stretched man
fully through the mud, throwing the old
rattle trap of a buggy from side to side, as
it groaned and creaked most mournfully,
‘‘Hillo j vociferated his pursuer, nc
fiercely than before. L rf.
“Golong Ned!” gasped the doctor, re
doubling his blows, and turning his pale
face, streaming with perspiration, to see if
the wretch behind him was gaining on him
he was nearerj if anything/ and to the
doctor’s fear distorted vision, fvas aiming a
revolver at his head. ‘ (“Go^d Lord pre
serve me,”) groaned the jniscrable little
man, sinking into the bottom of the bug-
The Propheciesi of Daniel.
We take following paragraphs from the
New York Tribune. The editor says—
A distinguished English Geologist recent
ly stated in conversation with a friend of
ours, that among the results to which Lay-
ard and Iiawlinson have been lead by their
researches at Ninevah, io the following:
That the prophecies of Daniel were undoubt
edly written after the events to which they
refer had taken place, and that the whole of
this book is probably nothing but a political
satire! This, though suppressed by Lay-
ard in his work, has been communicated to
the London Asiatic Society, by Major Rawl-
inson, and will probably soon appear in its
published transactions.
In one of the works upon Egyptian Hie-
roglyphics recently published in Germany,
which has come under our notice, is a tabic
of Commandments, copied from an inscrip
tion of the date of one of the elder Phara
ohs. These arc more in number than the
Jewish Decaloge, but some six or eight of
the same.
The above announcement will excite in
quiry and speculation in the Christian world.
The Supreme Conrt on
tiering.
The N. York Times publishes an opinion
recently delivered by the Supreme Court of
the United States, which it considers one of
the most important ever delivered by that
august tribunal. “As it covers the whole
question of “fillibustiering,” and defines the
rights, risks, and immunities of American
citizens who engage, in any way, in aiding
revolutionary struggles abroad, it is special
interest and value at the present time.”
* The decision was rendered in. the case of
Kennett et al. vs. Gen. T. J Chambers, on
appeal from the District Court of Texas.
The Times says: “The fact in the cases are,
briefly, these: The defendant, during the
progress of the Texan revolution, desiring
to carry on the revolutionary cause, sold
large tracts of lands to the defendants—
title to which he covenanted to make at any
time when called upon by the purchasers.
The purcase money was expended in equip
ping soldiers for the revolutionary army;
and, after the establishment of Texan Inde
pendence, defendant received the thanks of
the Congress of the new Republic, and was
reimbursed all the expenses incurred by him
during the war, in the public service, inclu
ding the price of these lands. Subsequent
ly he was called upon to make title to the
lands sold to the plaintiffs, which he refused.
Suit was brought to compel him to th9 per
formance of his covenant, and he set up iu
defence, the allegation that the contract was
void, because in contravention of the neu
trality laws of the United States. The
cause was ably argued, and the Court sus
tained the defence, and thus rendered judg
ment against the contract.
“The decision is destined to exert a more
important influence upon public opinion, in
regard to our neutral duties as a nation,
and as individual citizens, than any other
ingle public act that has transpired since
the proclamation of President YVashington,
annulling our treaty, offensive and defensive,
with France. It will be seen by the care
ful reader of the opinion, that the doctrine
is promulgated by the highest Corn t of Ju
dicature in the land, that every individual
in the country, is bound to do nothing what
ever, that-shall have a tendency to injure
or harm, in the remotest degree, a nation
with which we are at peace: that, in other
words, as declaration of war against any na
tion, puts every individual citizen in the
country at war with that enemy; so a dec
laration or treatv of peace between us and
our friend obligates ever man, woman and
child in the country, to keep the peace to
wards that friend.”

should have suppressed its publication in hia

A Desperado Killed.
The Nashville Banner gives the follow
ing account of a desperado named Sam.
Dixon, who was killed at Des Arc, in Ar
kansas, recently, under the following circum
stances:—“Dixon had time some since shot a
man, and was under indictment for murder
in Prairie county.. By secreting himself in the
cane, on the Tennessee side of the river, he
had baffled all attempts to arrest him, and
going at large in defiance of the cival au
thorities.—Last week, he crossed over to
Des Arc, and got into rows, beating and
abusing one or more persons, and setting
the community at defiance. Dr. A. R. Wil
son, a very quiet and exemplary citizen,
made the remark, that such outrages ought
not to be tolerated. This coming to the
knowledge of Dixon, he assaulted the Doc
tor in the street, knocking him down with a
brickbat, and beating him most brutally.
The Doctor, who is a man of small physical
power, procured a gun, loaded it, and shot
Dixon the same day, killing him almost in
stantly. Upon an examination before a
magistrate, the Doctor was discharged the
killing, in view of the desperate character
of Dixon, being adjudged a justifiable hom
icide.” Dr. Wilson emigrated to Arkansas
from Middle Tennessee, and Dixon from

Supreme Coart Decisions.
The Supreme Court for the correction of
errors adjourned yesterday forenoon after a
brief 6ut pleasant session. As we stated on
Tuesday morning, only five cases were doek-
etted for trial. These were disposed of as
follows: ,
1. Caroline O. Barnes, PI’ff in. Error v«.
Ex’ors of John Fox, dec’d.—In Equity from
Richmond county. Dawson for PI’ff in Er
ror—Miller for Deft.
This case was dismissed on account of
non-attendence of Plaintiffs Attorney.
2. George W. Persons, PI’ff in Error vs.
Gabriel Jones. Deft Assumpsit—From Co
lumbia county. Pottle for PI’ff in Error—
Miller for Deft.
The following were the points decided in
this case as reported in yesterday’* Repub
lican:
1. The doctrine, that party who transfer*
a promissory note for value, warrants, by
implication, that it is genuine ami free from
defect which would make it worthless, re
affirmed
2. In case where the statute of limitations
is pleaded, and fraud is pioved by theplarn-
tiff, the statute only begins to run from the
time when the fraud is discovered.
3. Although the record of another case
between the plaintiff and the maker of the
note transferred, be given in evidence by the
olaintiff-—held that the statement in the
plea of usury, that the plaintiff knew of the
usury when he received the note, was no ev
idence of such knowledge.
Judgment below reversed.
4 Ciieeseborough, Stearns & Co., Pl’ffk
iu Error, vs Garrett Ysn Ness, Deft—Cer
tiorari from Richmond county. Snead for
Pl’ff—Montgomery for Deft.
For Jue decision in this and the remain
ing cases, we are indebted to a friend, whoe©
accuracy and legal attainments amply fitted
for the duty:
1. Where upon the petition of an insol
vent in custody, under process for the bene
fit of the insolvent acts the order to bring/
him up was returnable on Sunday—that
proceedings are not void, but the day follow *j
ing is the day for the return. Sunday is',
not a day on which any judicial business I
can be transacted. '•
2. The notices required by the insolvent
laws may properly be addressed to and serv
ed upon the attorneys of the creditors.
3. Where the notices for absent creditors,
who have no attorneys, are published in the
gazette, it is not necessary that the name
of the petitioner should be affixed to th*
notice—it is sufficient that it appear in tha
body of the notice, though perhaps the sig
nature would be more regular.
It was not a violation of the forbidding
attorneys to give evidence, for the Judge to
ask an attorney, which of the creditors he
represented, and to require an answer. The
court had the right to ask the question.
Judgment below confirmed.
4. James Body, PI’ff in Error, vs W. E.

sey, &c. Def’t. Ejectment from Chatham
