THE MAIDEN’S COMPLAINT.
I really think it is a shame
A woman can’t propose,
Instead es waiting tho caprice
Os obstinate young b aux ;
Our foolish custom ne’er allows
A timid m&id to choose;
But she must listen to man’s choice,
Then take him or refuse.
us *hat when leap year comes,
This privilege we have ;
But tis an idle talo, I vow—
We’re nothing but man’s slave.
I wish some one would make a law,
To take effect direct,
That men should henceforth sit,
And weman should select.
Why, if a woman now declines,
If asked some thing or other,
And thus lets one proposal slip,
She ne’er may ge* another ;
But man can poke his nose around
And pick where he‘s inclined to,
Or he can let the matter pass,
Just as he has a mind to.
It clearly is a shameful thing,
To say the least about it,
That man alone should have a cboioe ;
Male bipeds, do you doubt it *
If custom gives the van to man,
Why don’t they do their duty,
And pep the question sans delai ,
To every smiling beauty?
A Modern Cincinnatus.
In a long and pleasant conversation recently
with a distinguished triend, whose mind is rich
with the recollections of the past, we gathered
many incidents, not the least interesting of
which, was the following :
At the session of the South Carolina Legisla
ture in 1814, the members were perplexed for a
suitable man to elect Governor. The difficulty
did not arise from any scarcity of candidates, for
then, as now, men were ambitious, but irom a
want of the right sort of man. The mat
ter became worse as the time wore on, and
the election of some objectionable candidate
seemed inevitable. One day, however, as sever
al of them were conversing upon the matter,
Judge O’Neall, then a young man and present
by invitation, said—
“ Gentlemen, why not elect General David R.
Williams?”
“ David R. Williams, he’s our man—he’s the
man,” they all exclaimed, as they began to scat
ter to tell the news.
The day of election came on, and Gen. Wil
liams was elected by a large vote. A messen
ger was at once dispatched with a carefully pre
pared letter to inlorm the Geneial of his elec
tion—request his acceptance, and hoping he
would name the day on which he would take the
oath of office. After a long hard ride, the mes
senger stopped at the General’s residence, in
Marlborough District, we believe, and inquired
if he was in. He was told that Mr. Williams
was over at his plantation. The gentleman said
he would ride over as he had a note to deliver to
him as soon.as possible. When about half way
he met a fine looking man, dressed in plain
homespun, and driving a team of mules—
Am 1 on the road to the plantation of Gen.
Williams?” asked the messenger.
** Yes, sir ; it is about a mile further on,” was
the reply.
“ Is the General at home ?”
41 No, sir.”
‘‘ Where is he ?”
,l I am Gen. William.”
‘‘You Gen. David R. Williams?”
“ I am the man.”
“ Don’t deceive me. I have an important let
ter for General Williams. If that is your name,”
said the doubting messenger, “ here it is,” hand
ing the letter to the General.
Mr. Williams opened the letter and found to
his utter astonishment that, without his know
ledge or consent, he had been elected Governor
of South Carolina. He took the messenger
home and entertained him for the night, prepar
ing a note in the meantime, accepting the ap
pointment, and naming a time on which he
would be in Columbia. The messenger return
ed.
On the appointed day, a few minutes before
twelve o’clock, a man dressed in homespun, and
on horseback rode in town; hitching his animal
to a tree, he made his way to the Capitol, where
he found a brilliant concourse of people. But
few knew him personally; but there was some
thing commanding about him. He took his seat
in a vacant chair; and when the clock in front
of the speaker had struck the hour of twelve the
General arose and delivered the most masterly
speech that had ever been delivered there on any
former occasion. The farmer-statesman entire
ly electrified the assembly. He made an excel
lent Governor.
This thing conveys a beautiful idea: Here
was a farmer elected; he accepted, and from the
plough went to the Governor’s office to preside,
in a stormy crisis, over the destiny or a sover
eign State. Long live his memory.— Wilming

Remarkable Character.
A genius supposed to be Don Carlos de Cas
tro, who has tor the past two or three years
figured extensively in the South and West, and
more recently in this city among the fail sex, has
just been arrested and entombed for identifica
tion. It appears from the numerous newspaper
accounts that he is a great libertine, a perfect Don
Juan in fact, and has played the very -deuce
with the fairer portion of creation. The sub
joined picture of the individual in question is
from the Herald:
“This individual is of good figure, between 20
and 30 years of age, about five leet eight inches
in height, dark complexion, and an Italian cast
of countenance; he wore long black hair, turn
ed back behind his ears, touching his coat collar,
eyes black with rather a sleepy look, moustache*
and imperial. Some of his recent places of ope
rating have been Tallahassee, Florida; Cold
Springs, Va , and many other places South and
West. The modus operandi by which this
speculative genius obtained money, is ailedged
to be in the following manner:
He effects an introduction into some respecta
ble tamily, and by his plausible and fascinating
manner, very soon attracts the attention of the
daughter, who in many instances becomes the
victim of the seducer, who, having the confiding
girl in his power, threatens her with exposure if
she does not furnish him with a certain amount
of money. In otner cases, in order to carry out
plans with a fuller degree of certainty, he will
l» : l suddenly in the parlor and pretend to have
convulsions ; a sympathy at once is enlisted by
the female portion of the household, and the
greatest possible care is taken of him; in addi
tion to the fits, he pretends to have weak lungs
and expectorates what is thought to be blood*
but which is nothing else than some red mixture
chewed to represent blood. In gratitude lor all
this kindness, the rascal effects the ruin of one
of the daughters, and then makes his escape, ta
king with him, in many instances, vauables
from about the house. Thus this vampire is
said to have made his living throughout the
South and West for several years past. New
York is not exempt from the depredations of
this libertine. A merchant called upon the Chief
of Police and stated that two of his daughters
had been the victims of this man, and some fif
teen hundred dollars extorted from them under
the fear of exposure. Many cases of this nature
are recorded as acts of Don Carlos de Castro.
The most curious part about all this affair is the
arrest made on Thursday, by officer Brown, one
of the Chief’s special aids, of a young man bear
ing the lianess, —or at least a very strong re
semblance—of a daguerreotype picture, said to
be the portrait of this notorious individual. The
prisoner denied being the man they ailedged him
to be, and said his name was Comilli Alten.
However, in spite of all the prisoner says, seve
eraf persons have come forward and pronounced
him to be the man. He positively denies any
knowledge of such transactions as they charge
against him. He admits that the daguereotype
looks very much like him, but still he peisists
that be is not the man, According to his own
ffccount be has been in this city over three weeks,
k*™ 1 * c°me direct from New Orleans. Prior
to that tune he had sailed from Havana, with a
ot of sugars for sale, but in consequence of the
fever at New Orleans he came direct to this
city.
The charge on which the prisoner has been
m rflt 18 one of threatening the life of Mr.
McCharthy, of the firm of McCarthy, & Al
m, brokers, No. 15 Wall street, by asserting he
would thrust a dirk into him, at Niblo’s Theatre,
about a year ago, since which time he has
kept out of the way of the police. In this mat
ter, like the other charges, he denies being the
man, and asserts that they are all mistaken in
the identity of the person. However, in the
face of all these protestations of innocence, the
accused was sent to the Tombs, in default of
bail.”
A Sanple Clerk. —Jem B. is a wag. A joke
to Jem is both food and raiment; and whenever
and wherever there is an opening for fun, he
has it.
Jem was recently in a drug store when a youth,
apparently fresh from the “mounting,” entered
the store, and at once accosted Jem, stating that
he was in search of a job.
“What kind of a job?” inquired the wag.
“Oh a’most anything—l want to git a kind of
a ginteel job, I’m tired o’ farmin’, an’ kin turn
my hand to most anything.’ '
“Well, we want a man, a good,strong, healthy
man, as sample clerk.”
“What’s the wages?”
“Wages are good ; we pay SIOOO to a man in
that situation.”
“What’s a fellow have to do ?”
“Oh, merely to test medicines, that’s all. It
requires a stout man, one of good constitution,
and after he gets used to it, he doesn’t mind it.
You see. we are very particular about the quali
ty of our medicines, and before we sell any, we
test every parcel. You would be required to
take—say, six or seven ounces of castor oil some
days, with a few doses of rhubarb, aloes, croton
oil, and similar preparations. Some days you
would not be required to take anything ; out as
a general thing, you can count upon—say, from
six to ten doses of something, daily. As to the
work, that does not amount to much—the tes
ting department would be the principal labor
required of you ; and, as I said before, it requires
a person of very healthy organization to endure
it, but you look harty, and I guess you would
suit us. That young man (pointing to a very
pale laced, slim looking youth who happened to
be present) has filled the post for the past two
weeks, but he is hardly stout enough to stand
it. We should like to have you take right hold,
if you are ready, and if you say so, we’ll begin
to-day. Here’s a new barrel of castor oil just
come in ; I’ll go and draw an ounce ”
Here verdant, who had been gazing intently
upon the slim youth, interrupted him with—
" N-no, no, 1 g-u-ess not—not to day. any how.
I’ll go down and see my aunt: and es I o’clude
to come, I’ll come up termorrer an’ let you
know.”
As he did not return, it is to be supposed he
considered the work too hard.
Mills’ Great Statute of Washington.
The preparations for the construction of the
bronze equestrian statute of the Father of our
Country, are now making good progress. Clark
Mills, Esq, the artist, has laid out the grounds of
his extensive works near the city, and is pro
ceeding as rapidly as possible in the erection of
the necessary buildings. He is constructing his
own foundry and moulding shops, by means ot
which the whole work will be constantly under
his own eye. As fast as he is furnished with
the required means he will go on with his great
national design—a design, when completed as
Mr. Mills intends, that will be well worthy of
the name of the republic and of its illustrious
sire.
The act of Congress providing for this statute
authorizes the President to contract with Mr.
Mills for the erection of a collossal work, not in
ferior to his equestrian statute of Jackson in
size, finish, and pedestal. For the accomplish
ment of this patriotic purpose the sum of fifty
thousand dollars is placed at the disposal of the
Executive. The statute is to be completed in
j five years, and erected in such a spot as the
President may direct.
It has always been the intention of Mr. Mills
that the statute of Washington should be much
larger than that of Jackson. He designs it to
be the most colossal work of the kind in the
world—emblematical of the character and deeds
of the man it commemorates. The horse he
would make some thirty feet in length, propor
tionately high, and with a head ten feet long
from the end of the nose to the tips of the ears.
The animal is not to be rearing, like that on
which the Hero of New-Orleans is mounted, but
au rest —and yet in a position of commanding
and imposing character. Washington is to be
seated on him erect; his cap, of the strict revolu
tionary army style, on his head; his left arm
resting on his left thigh, his right arm raised and
pointing to the distance; and his whale uniform,
and the caparison of his horse, in strict keeping
1 with the evenlul times that tried the souls of our
patriot fathers.
But the most grand idea of this statute, formed
by Mr. Mills, is the height at which the horse
and rider are to be erected from the ground. He
proposes to place them seventy feet high in the
air! At this distance the collossal proportions
of the great statute will show to the best advan
tage. If erected where Mr. Mills desires it
should be—directly in the centre of Pennsylva
nia avenue, near the site of the present market
house, which he would have removed, and a
square laid out in its place—the statute will
tower above the surrounding houses, and present
a splendid object of nati< nal contemplation to
the future occupants of the Executive Mansion
and both houses of Congress.
It could be seen from all the departments,
from every approach to, and avenue and street
in the metropolis that bears the name of Wash
ington. Our couutrymen, and visitors and so
journers from other nations, as the flock to the
national city will be struck by this great nation
al momento of gratitude and affection. Coming
up the Potomac, from beside the quiet and hab
lowed shades of Mount Yernon, (forever be
they preserved as the inheritance of the nation !)
the traveller will fix his eyes, often, we doubt
not, suffused with grateful and patriotic tears,
on the colossal statute of the hero and the
statesman whose fame is as wide as the world.
Entering the city from any other direction, for
quite a distance out, the majestic structure will
strike the gaze of the beholder, and fill him with
admiration, and inspire him, it he be a patriot at
wit * l the most B ra teful emotions.
Ihe construction of the Washington statute
on this plan will, of course, require a much lar
ger sum than that provided by Congress. And
we cannot doubt, for a moment, but that it
rS t r r ,n \ at once torsuch a
Mr. Mills has shown his countrymen what he
can do by his equestrian statute of Jackson
and we believe the people will nobly sustain
their national legislature if they shall invest t> e
President with ample powets to enable the dis
tinguished Amrican artist fully to complete his
grand design.
Births, Marriages and Deaths. —Under an
act passed by the Legislature last winter, the
City Inspector is compelled to keep an account
ot all Births and Marriages within the city, as
well as of the Deaths. Mr. Downing, a brother
of the City Inspector, has charge of the statisti
cal bureau. By reference to his books we.find
that the number of Births in August was 1846
and in July 1591. The Births for these two
months were as follows:
J uly. August.
Males 831 Males, 950
Females, 760 Females, 886
Whites Males, 825 White Males, 945
White Fema1e5, ....754 White Females. ... 888
Colored Males,. ... 6 Colored Males,.... 8
Colored Females,.. 6 Colored Females,.. 8
Showing an increase in August, of 255 Births.
Ihe Marriages in July numbered 492. Ac
cording to the records these were all white
In August, the marriages numbered 560 • of
these 552 were white couples, and 8 were
colored. The deaths in this city in J u |y num
bered 1052, while in August they numbered
2822. The excess in August amounted to
1770 deaths. This may be attributed to the
unusually hot weather in that month, and
the large number of deaths from excessive
heat. The statistics of births and marri
ages are supposed to be very imperfect being
the result of the first effort under the new law.
Doctors, according to law, must report all births
that they are cognizont to, and clergymen all
marriages by them effected.— N. Y. Day Book.
In his lecture on Monday evening says the
Portland Transcript, Dr. Boynton related that
wishing to explain to a little girl the manner in
which a lobster casts his shell, when he has out
grown it, he said: “ What do you do .when you
nave outgrown your clothes? You throw
them abide, don’t you?” “ Oh, no,” replied the
little one, “we let out the tucks?” The doc
tor confessed she had the advantage of him there.

South Carolina Institute.
Messrs. Editors : The approach of the time
when the South Carolina Institute should hold
its Annual Fair, induces me to request, that
through 5 our columns the reasons may be stated
why the Board of Directors have not invited the
specimens to be sent, and will not have an ex
hibition this year.
The great exhibition of industry in the city of
New York, which is and has been attracting
such universal attention of exhibitors and visi
tors, together with the Fair of the Southern
Central Agricultural Society of Georgia, to be
open on the 17th inst. in our sister City of Au
gusta, will have measurably satisfied the public
interest in such matters for a time at least.
With these considerations, and the handsome
appropriation made by the State and City Coun
cil, the Directors of the Institute have been en
gaged in perfecting all necessary arrangements
for erecting a permanent Hall, in which to hold
their Annual Fairs. The building will be a
large and commodious one, and the Directors are
adopting every means in their power to nurse
the funds, and accumulate a sufficiency to have
it properly completed, and the property turned
over to them unencumbered. It was deemed,
therefore, for the interest of the Institute, and
all concerned, that the Directors should save the
expense and forego the year’s Exhibition.
The Hall will be speedily commenced, the
leases upon the lots selected expiring on the 15th
inst. and by the next season it is confidently an
ticipated by the Board of Directors, that a Fair
worthy of the efforts they are making, will be
presented to the public in the new Hall, and
such a one has will amply repay the friends and
supporters of Southern indu try for any disap
pointment they may have experienced. They
now embrace the opportunity to invite and be
speak from all, specimens of every desciiption,
useful and ornamental, to be prepared and sent
to the South Carolina Institute Fair in Novem
ber, 1854.
To those persons who designed sending arti
cles to our Fair this season, we earnestly and re
spectlully commend them to our kindred associ
ation at Augusta. The gentlemen charged with
the management of that exhibition are and have
been assiduously laboring to develope and ad
vance the resources of industry, and our country,
with no selfish motives, and from experience,
we can say, that a cordial and welcome greeting
awaits you.
I am, Gentlemen, with respect, your obedient
servant, Wm. M. Lawton,
President So. Ca. Institute.

The Policy of the Administration-Mr. Guth
rie’s Letter.
The annexed letters will be read with inter
est, as bearing intelligibly upon the policy and
position of the administration in regard to the
distribution of the public patronage.
Washington, Oct. 8, 1853.
To the Editor of the Union :
It seems thtv public have obtained, through
the press, an imperfect statement ot the contents
of my letter to Collector Bronson and the other
custom-house officers of New York; and as the
subject is a public one, I place in your hands a
copy of the letter, which you are at liberty to
make public. James Guthrie.
Washington, Oct. 3,1853.
Dear Sir: Since the conversation we had up
on the subject of the unfortunate division in the
democratic party in New York, I feel more and
more convinced that the present disorganization
cannot fail to endanger the success of the princi
ples of the party there, and to prove injurious
elsewhere. But the separation is effected. A
conviction has forced itself on my mind that, by
democrats pledged to each other upon a common
platform of principles, the division could and
ought to have been prevented.
You are aware that to the principles of the
Baltimore Convention and the policy intimated
in the inaugural address, the President and his
constitutional advisers stand pledged before the
w-orld. They have been and are united as one
man upon those principles and the policy, and
had reason to believe that all gentlemen whe
consented to accept office under the administra
tion stood pledged to the same principles and
policy.
As the President understands the principles
avowed as the platform of the party at Balti
more, all democrats who joined in upholding and
carrying out the same were entitled to be re
cognised as worthy ot the confidence of the uni
ted party, and consequently eligible to official
station. That all could not obtain office was
! manifest; and that the distribution could not be
1 exactly equal amongst the different sections ol
the party, was equally certain. Yet the distri
bution was intended to be so made as to give
just cause of complaint to no one section ; and
, it is believed that this intention has been carried
out, not only by the President himself, but by
, most of his appointees in respect to the offices
’ under the latter.
It has so happened that your appointments
have been very generally made from that portion
of the party to which you now adhere. This
you thought best calculated to secure union and
harmony That desirable object has failed to
. be attained; and the other portion of the party
feel that they have not been fully recognised by
you, and, as things now stand, may not do justice
to your motives.
I call your attention to this subject, and to the
fact that the President and his cabinet, with en
tire unanimity, recognise that portion of the
party as democrats distinctly avowing and firm
ly maintaining the principles of the Baltimore
platform, and entitled to be recoongnised by ap
pointments to official stations in your depart
ment. Allow me to express the expectation that
you will so recognise them in the only way that
will carry conviction with it.
1 have not hitnerto deemed it necessary to
make any particular inquiry with regard to the
section of the democratic party to which persons
nominated for positions in the custom-house at
New York belonged prior to the re-union of the
party in 1849, which re-union was supposed to
have been thoroughly cemented in the great and
triumphant contest in 1852. But, as the pre
sent excited state of feeling among political
friends who acted togther in 1852, and who now
stand unequivocally upon the same platform of
principles in New York, is suggestive ot a dis
crimination of which the administration will not
approve, I shall send a copy of this letter to the
naval officer and the surveyor of the port, in or
der that there may be no misapprehension as to
the policy which the President will require to
be pursued.
1 am, very respectfully,
James Guthrie.

New Works.
We have received from Messrs. Geo. A. Oates
& Co., the following new works :
The Rudiments of the Arts of Building, for
the use of Architect*, Builders, Draughtsmen.
Machinests, Engineers and Mechanics, edited
by John Bulloch, editor of the American Arte
san.
This interesting volume forms the second of
Stringer & Townsend’s Architectural Series lor
the people. It is of lasting value to every one
engaged in the art of building, and is just the
work that has long been wanted by a very large
class of our community. It is written in a style
which brings it within the comprehension of
every body, and is so copiously illustrated that
the most ignorant reader can, by a single perusal,
take in,at a glance, the successive steps assen
tial to the construction of a building. This
work contains one hundered illustrations, and it
is put up in elegant cloth binding, at the low
price of 75 cents.
Jane :Selon, or the King’s Advocate, by
James Grant, author of “The Romance of War,”
“The Aid-de-Camp," Ac.
inis is another of Stringer & Townsend’s
publications. In noting it the Literary Gazette
savs : 1 his work will find hosts of readers, and
with good reason. It is a work of genius—full
ofinterest, freshness, incident, sprightliness,depth
and strength. To our thinking,it is equal to Scott’s
Ivanhoe. As a picture of Scotland and Scottish
life in the sixteenth century, it is not only
grand, it is brilliant.”

nsylvania, informed the Secretary of the Interior,
a few days since, that his officers were threaten
ed with resistance to the execution of the fugi
tive slave law at Wilkesbarre, and asking his
advice as to the employment of counsel. The
prompt reply of Gov. McClelland breathes the
tiue spirit:
Department of the Interior,
Washington, Oct. 4, 1853. )
j r u ° urs 3d instant has been received,
and I have telegraphed you to consult the dis
tuct attorney, employ counsel, if necessary, and
use all reasonable means for the enforcement of ;
the law. I his department is determined that :
the fugitive slave law shall, so far as depends
upon it, be executed in good faith, and the officers
legitimateiy employed in carrying it into effect
sha Ibe sustained. They need not fear any dif
nculty here so long as they discharge their duties
efficiently and faithfully. I am, sir, &c.
McClelland, Secretary.

New Gas Meter.— C. Collier, of Indianopolis,
has taken measures to secure a patent for an im
provement in gas meters, the nature of which
consists in a certain arrangement of waste water
chambers and seal pipe, whereby the bottom of
the inlet pipe is always sealed by the waste wa
ter, but is altogether beyond the control of the
consumer, who can let off all the waste water,
except that required to seal the jtube and balance
the pressure of the gas, for which a proper quanti
ty must always remain.
A squirrel hunt came off at South Amherst
Mass., one day last week. Two men were chosen
as captains, each of whom selected thirty men, (
and the parties separated with the understan- |
ding that they should meet at the Hygiene Ho- 1
tel in the evening, and count the game, and the 1
- —1
party having fewest squirrels should pay for
suppers for the whole. One part}” killed 1,455,
and the other 898, hr a total of 2,358 in one day.
Scarcity of Vessels and High Rates of
Freights —The large business in breadstuff’s
for export has caused a material advance in
freights at New York, and the supply of tonnage,
it is said, is inadequate to the demand, 38,000
bushels of wheat were engaged for Liverpool on
Monday at 12d. a 12£d. closing firmly at 13d
To Havre a ship was taken up at 75 cents for
flour, and 19 cts. for wheat; besides, about
5,000 bbls. flour were taken at 80 in lots, and 20
a22 cts. for wheat. A ship was taken up for
Bristool. (E.) with flour and wheat at Is. for
the former, and a new ship from Bath, to land
deals at St. John’s, N. 8., for Liverpool, at 120 s.
Within the last year grain to Liverpool has been
as low as 4d, but now firm at 13d. Vessels are
unusually scarce, and are wanted in all directions.
The demand is great in the British Provinces to
load deals for England, and several American
vessels have been purchased for that purpose,
receiving British Registers. Deal freights are
firm at 20 s hillings.

Will there be War ?
Robert Walsh, the well known Paris corres
pondent of the New York Journal of Commerce,
whose familiarity with European politics renders
his opinion of great weight, in a private note by
the Arabia says : “ As to politics, I am still con
fident of a pacific solution.”
The New York Courier & Enquirer takes the
opposite ground, expressing a confident opinion
that war between Russia and Turkey is inevi
table—adding that “ Turkey has probably be
fore this time, unfurled the banner of the pro
phet, and charged home upon her invaders'.”—
From the concluding portion of the Enquirer’s
I article, we make the following extract:
“ The four Powers may side with Turkey or
: they may desert her—it matters not, the war
will speedily come. Russia may muster an over
whelming force, may make a demonstration
which it would seem madness to resist—it mat
ters not, the Turks will fight and fight desperate
ly. The Sultan, surrounded as he is by the re
presentatives of Western Europe now “be
seeching,’’ and now “ besieging,” cannot yield if
he would. He would scarcely say yes before he
would find his brother on his throne. He has
not yet given the least sign of yielding. He
has exhibited a spirit thoughout that will secure
the respect of the whole civilized world. He is in
the right. Even those vi ho have been laboring
to move him from his position would freely ad
mit it. Being right, he has a claim to the moral
supporhof Christendom. True he is a Mehom
medan, but in all the Continent of Europe there
is not one country in which all religions are so
freely tolerated. Russia calls itsell Christain,
but its religion is not the religion of Christ, tor
it is a persecuting religion. It is a religion which
makes its converts at the point of the bayonet.
It is a religion which shows mercy to neither
Protestant nor Catholic—neither Esthonia nor
Poland. Russia will not be in possession of
Turkey a week, before all the Protestant mis
sion established, which have accomplished such
great benefits, would be visited by the same ex- ,
terminating stroke which fell with such fatal ef
fects upon the miesion in Georgia. Turkey,
whether *Bhe i» aided or not in the coming *tug‘. j
bv * n y four Powers, will have the I
sympathy of all men of just, liberal and Christ- !

Wherever that great Medicine called
H. G. Farrell's Celebrated Arabian
Liniment, has been introduced, it has perforate
the most extraordinary cures in the annals of medi
cal history—every body who uses it once becom
it warmest friend—they not only keep it alway
on hand for tho benefit of its timely use in cases
ofcincrgency, but recommend it to all their friends.
It has been belore the public for nearly ten yer*rs,
and yet is daily developing now virtues; many dis
eases have been cured by it, for which tho pro
prietor had never recommended it; its magical vir
tues spreads through the land with the speed of
lightning, and many, very many poor invalids who
supposed their days on this earth were fast drawing
to a close, have been by a persevering use of this
invaluable Liniment, healed, and now rejoice in
tho blessings of health, and the onjoyment of this
beautiful world. Read this to believe, and not to
doubt. Inquire of your neighbors whom you know
to have used it, and they will tell you that no med
icine ever discovered possesses the half of its extra
ordinary hoaling powers. The racking pains of
rheumatism and neuralgia yield in a few minutes
to its powerfully anodyne properties. “ The lame
are made to walk.” Old sores, which have rendered
the subject a loathsome thing to behold, are heal
ed. The weak an trembling, from deranged state
of the nerves, by the use of this Liniment, rejoice
in the recovery oftheir former health and strength.
Many long standing affections oi tho liver, lungs
and kidney have yielded to its use after the various
remedies had failed. It is very efficacious in cu
ring the diseases of horses and cattle, such as swee
ny, sprains, bruises, swellings, cramps, lameness,
dry shoulder, splint, etc., and if used in the begin
ning never fails to stop the further progress of fis
tula, poll evil, ringbone and spavin.
Look out for Counterfeits. —The publio are cau
tioned against another counterfeit, which has late
i ly made it; appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Ara
bian Liniment, the most dangerous of all the coun
terfeits, because his having the name of Farrel-,
many will buy it in good faith, without the knov -
ledge that a counterfeit exists, and they will, per
haps, only discover their error when tho spurious
mixture has wrought its evil effects.

Circulation oith«j Blood is justly
esteemed the greatest ordination of
Divine Providence; by that beating engine, the
heart, it is driven to all parts of the system, giving
vigor and strength to the complicated machinery

turns softly through the veins. How necessary
that it should be kept free from all impurity, and
yet how negligent many are respecting this great

primary cause : and Jaundice, Indigestion, and all

OCTOBER TERM.

sworn, chosen and selected for October Term 2
beg leave to make the following Presentment °°
Y. e have, through appropriate Committee,
amined the books of the Superior and il
Courts, and find them neatly and correctly k J
We have, also, through an appropriate com L*,
examined the books of the Ordinals office 2
not only find them neatly and correctly kept’ b
unusually so; and each of us take the LZ
pleasure in specially noticing this fact; and be ’
justly entitled to great credit for the orderly
ner in which his office is kept. On
by a competent committee, we find the Jail i s neat
ly kept, and in good condition.
Wo would recommend to the Inferior Court the
propriety and necessity in haring doors or shutte
put upon the shelves in the office of the Superior
and Inferior Courts, for the purpese of better pro !
tcction to thepapers belonging to those offices; ai#
to have banisters to stair case repaired.
We recommend the Superior Court to guar j t€
the public moneys belonging to the county, wj
believe there has been great waste to such fundi
in granting to the Sheriff extra fees to theamoui
of ($120) one hundred and twonty dollars. Snci
demands upon the county should be made clearly
to appear by a regular bill, made cut by the fiber
iff and examined by the Court, that the seni«,
were rendered and no extravagant charges madi
thereon. This is only a practice that has been in
use for years, and we believe it is a practice thu
should be abolished instanter. I
The committee appointed for the purpose of u
amining into the state of the Treasury, report ns
funds. There is at present, orders granted by the
Inferior Court, unpaid—and these orders are fer I

They have no other means of obtaining a subsis-l
tance, and it is our opinion that money paid for I
extra services should have been kept in the tain I

We would respectfully call the attention of tie I
Inferior Court to the transcribing of certain oil I
books in the office of the Superior Court. There I

lowest bidder. The interests of the county, and,titl
state of the Treasury, imperatively demands till
