Three Mork Territories.—A plan, it is
said is on foot tor organizing three new territorial
governments in the Indian country south of Kan
sas’ to consist severally ot the Cherokees in one
territory, the Creeks in another, and the Chock
taws and Chickasaws in a third. Tnis plan has
been sent out to becanvas-ed by the tribes con
cerned, and who, under it, are to ba constituted
citizens of the United States. At the last ses
sion of the Senate a bill was presented by Mr.
Johnson, of Arkansas, which embodied the fea
ture of this scheme. The first territory will be
Cherokee, and w.ll include the Cherokees, Osa-
• ges, Senecas, Shawnees and Quapaws; thekecond
is to be Muscogee, and will include the Creek
■and Seminole tribes; and the third named Chah-ta
-and will include the Choctaws and Chickasaws.

Death of Dr. A. B. Brantley.—We learn
(says the Savannah Georgian) by a letter from
a friend, of the decease of Dr. A. B. Brantley, of
the yellow fever,after an illness of five days, in
the 28th year of his age. He died at the resi
dence of Matthew Lufburrow, Esq., in Scriven
county, at seven o’clock on Sunday evening last.
Three weeks since Dr. Brantley came among
us and offered his professional services to the af
flicted our city. He arrived Iresh from the pure air
of the country to grapple with the pestilence, at a
time when it raged with the greatest violence
and the work of death was progressing with
frightful rapidity. Now he is numbered among
the victims of the scourge. When the peril was I
sorest and our extremity the bitterest, he rushed |
to the field of danger, and did manful battie in j
the cause of humanity. He fell in a contest with I
an enemy mightier than any human foe, and de
serves a monument prouder than that of the mili
tary hero.
Dr. B. was a son of the late Wm. Brantley, D.
D., President of the Charleston College, and pas
tor of the first Baptist Church in that city, and
a brother of the Rev. W. T. Brantley, professor
of Belles Letters in University of Georgia. He
received his degree from the Charleston Medical
College in 1845, and practised afterwards in
Raleigh, North Carolina. In 1851 he came to
Georgia, and settled in Scriven county. Here
his professional ability, warm heart, and urbanity
of manners, procured him the highest position
and numbers of warm and devoted triends. He
died universally regretted. But to Savannah I
should his memory remain most dear, for he was
amartyrtoa noble benevolence in her behalf, |
and fell a self-appointed sacrifice. Let his : ame !
remain enshrined in the hearts of our people. |
Our correspondent writes, that the family of I
Mr. Lul’uurrow reeeivedDr. B. with the kindness !
of relatives, and all that medical skill, assiduous ■
attention and faithful nursing could effect, were I
extended to him, but without avail. He was '
seized on the cars last Tuesday night, when I
going to attend Mr. Lufburrow, whose family :
physician he was, and whom he had just brought '
into convalescence from an attack of the fever. •
Another Merchant Gone.—The same paper |
says, we have learned, too late to do more than
merely mention the fact, that Mr. Isaac P.
Whitehead, of the firm qf Rabun & Whitehead
—a gentleman highly esteemed for his worth—
died last night.
Printer’s Lot in Laurel Grove Cemetery.
—The Savannah News says—lt is not so gen
erally known as it deserves to be, that, at the
very breaking out here of the yellow fever, last
month, a lot was purchased in Laurel Grove
Cemetery, to Me appropriated especially as a
place of burial for Printers. The number of the
lot is 6-5.
This purchase was dne of the last acts in- the
life ot the lamented Samuel T. Chapman, late
editor of the Journal & Courier. In an inter
view at his residence, only a few days before his
death, he enjoined it upon a friend to bear the
fact in mind, in case any thing should happen to
him. It is now thus publicly mentioned, incom
pliance with the spirit of that injunction. The
act emphatically speaks his regard and consid
erateness for a class of men with whom he was
brought into intimate relations through all the
most active portions of his life, and is only anoth
er added to a thousand evidences of a kind and
noble heart.
The suggestion is respectfully’ submitted to
Printers,and the friends of Printets (and who
are not?) i and to the benevolent in general, to
erect within the lot, a vault to be called the
"Chapman Vault,” and dedicated to receive the
remains of deceased members of the fraternity.
The remai.xs of Mr. Chapman are deposited in
the centre of the lot.
Death of Capt. Samuel C. Wilson —lt is
with sincere regret (says the Charleston Courier)
that we record this morning the death, at about
two o’clock yesterday afternoon, on Sullivan’s
Island, of Capt. Samuel C. Wilsoj}.
Captain Wilson was a native of Georgia, and
gallantly served throughout the Florida War as
Lieutenant of the Companies sent from that
State. On his return he became a resident of
Augusta, and was Teller of the Bank of Augusta
until March last, when he removed to this city
having been elected Teller of the People’s Bank.
He was about 43 years of age, and leaves a widow
and six children to mourn his loss.
In his social relations he was widely known
and esteemed for his frank, manly and generous
qualities, and a large circle of friends in (Georgia
and this State will be truly grieved to learn his
early decease, and none more so, we are confi
dent, than his old comrades of the Clinch Rifles
of Augusta, which fine corps, it will be recollect
ed, he commanded when they visited this city in
1853.
His funeral will take place this morning on
I 'ullivaii’s Island, at eleven o’clock, and will be
I attended by the Washington Light Infantry, of
j which Company he was an honorary member,
to testify their regard and respect for his memory.
During his sickness the members of this Com
pany were most assiduous in their attentions to
him, and his death has cast a gloom upon this
noble hearted corps which will not soon be dis
pelled.
Appointments by the Governor.— o. A.
Lochrane of Macon, Ga. Shirley Sledge of Troup
County, B. R. Daniell of Atlanta, Ga., have
been appointed Aid-de Camps to His Excellency,
Gov. Johnson, with the rank of Colonel.
Physicians and Nurses for our Sick.—Doc
tors Redwood and Hamilton, Physicians deput
ed by the authorities of Mobile, accompanied by
five experienced nurses, to render assistance to
the sick, arrived in' Savannah on Monday
morning, and have been furnished rooms at the
Stafford House.
Should be Encouraged.
Ot all of our Druggist Stores, we believe but
two can be depended on as open these distressing
times. Messrs N. J. Fogarty & Co. are open
all day, and the senior partner is subject to calls
at any hour ol the night, at tile Augusta Hotel.
Mr. Wm. Haines is open through the day only,
as he hes always resided in the country. If by
the above announcement we have done any
Druggist in the city injustice, we will cheerfully
make the amende.
To our Patrons.
We got along as well as we could yesterday
with one compositor and our pressman, and en
deavored to give them all the current news of
interest. This morning we are working two
hands, and present a little better appearance. As
long as we have one hand left, we will endeavor
to issue a half sheet daily, and a half sheet week
ly to our country subscribers. Those residing in
the city who do not receive their papers regularly
will please continue to send to the office for them,
as one of our carriers is sick, and ar.other has left
the city.

Worthy of the Man.
Col. Turner Clanton called at our office yes
terday, and requested us to publish the following
notice. Such acts should be remembered—will go
far to alleviate the present distress, and we hope
some of cur citizens, who have the means, will
establish a depot in the city, for the purpose ot
furnishing the poor with Meal and Bacon, both
scarce articles, and very dear at the present time.
To our knowledge there is much suffering in our
city, among those who have not the means of
getting away, nor of supplying themselves with
food.
Notice.—All persons who have left the city
in consequence of the epidemic, will be furnish
ed with Meal, free of charge, by applying to Mr.
George Hall, at his mill. It is hoped none will
fail to call, who need it.

Gen. G. W. Evans has requested us to say, that
he has two comfortable dwellings, with all the
necessary outbuildings, at Mount Enon, a place
distinguished for its salubrity, which are at the
service of any persons who wilt occupy them.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 22. Cotton— This article
was very mach neglected in the osrly part of the
previous week, but subsequently, a certain degree
of activity prevailed, which to some extent was
stimulated by the favorable terms offered by sellers,
and during the two days preceding the date of our
last publication, about 2,100 bales changed h’.nds
at a reduction of j a |c.; the heaviest decline falling
on the lower grades. The present week opened I
with a fair demand, and during Friday, the first I
day, 800 bales were sold ac prices corresponding |
with the quotations of that morning. Saturday was I
a quiet day, the sales having been limit cd to 97 bales, i
The demand, revived on Monday, and during j
that and the two succeding days upwards of 2,000
bales were taken by purchasers; and tho.Xranac
tions would, doubtless, have been larger but ?or
the inclement state of the weather, which has to
some extent prevented the sampling of Cotton, con
sequently depriving buyers of the assortment so
necessary to aid them in the execution of their or
ders, and to this state of things is to be attributed
the partial stagnation that preva led yesterday,
the transactions having been limited to*3oo bales.
Prices have gradually strengtened daring the I
week, particularly on the middling and lower ■
qualities, which, at the close of business, had im
proved about ?c. The receipts since our last com
prise 3,640 bales, and the sales in the same time
foot up 3,172 bales at the subjoined prices, viz:
13 bales at SJ; 38 at 6; 7at 150 at 31 at 6j;

LIVERPOOL, Sept. B—Messrs. Editors:—We
hive ro new feature to report in our Cotton mar
ket, excepting that the tone has been somewhat
quieter, and holders more willing sellers; other
wise there is little change, for although buyers
obtain a g od selection it is with difficulty and*on
ly in casual instances that a concession of 1-16
per lb. in the most current qualities of American
can be obtained ; other kinds are without change,
but holders find it difficult to effer-t large sales.
The sales to day are 8,000 bales; 2,000 on specula
tion and export; the market closing rather tamc
, ly. The total sales this week are 43.320 bales, of
I which speculators have taken 4,190 American, 30
1 Macceiro, 60 Surat, 7 0 Madras, and exporters 3,470
I American, 200 Pernam, 10 Egyptian, 870 Surat,
I 380 Madras: thus leaving 34,040 bales, all kinds,
to the trade.
i The authorized quotations were as follows : Fair

OBITUARY.
Died at Richmond Bath, on the Bth inst., of Yel
low Fever, the Rev. Benjamin Burroughs, aged
45 years.
Mr. B. was a native, and at the time of his
death, a resident of Savannah, where he contract
ed the disease which terminated his life. For some
years a Minister of the Presbyterian Church, his
daily life yielded the peaceable fruits of righteous
ness, and his death presented a beautiful eyampin
of the triumph of the faith he professed over earth
ly affections and hopes and over the ter .ors of the
last enemy. He leaves several children, whose
Mother went before him to the world of spirits.
Also, at the same place, on the 9th inst, of the
same fearful epidemic, his elder Brother, Joseph
N. Burroughs, aged 51 years: likewise a native
and resident of Savannah, whence became a few
days previously, after having consigned to the grave
his eldest son. •
The deceased, when a very young man, entered
into the commission and factorage business, in his
native city, and has borne a prominent part in her
commercial operations, alike distinguished for in
telligence, enterprise and probity. His place among
his compeers is vacant, but they will cherish the
memory of Jiis worth, and hold him up as an exam
ple to the young But there was a narrower circle
in which he faithfully and beautifully sustained
the near<£t and dearest relations of life, wherein
we may not enter. There the sorrow of the mourn
ers is too sacred for aught but profound and gently
breathed condolence. To the son, Berrien B. M.
Burroughs, an abler pen has paid a well merited
public .tribute, but there is a fitness in chronicling
together ;heir lamented deaths. Father and Son—
the one in the meridian of life, the other in the
prime and gloiy of its full morning—partners they
were in busin ss, and friends. The Son emulated
the virtues of his lamented sire, and if spared,
most worthily would he have filled the position left
vacant by the latter, in the commercial, social and
domestic circles. Respected by all who knew them,
loved by many, and idolised by the few who leaned
upon them, both have fallen. Man had nought to
forgive them, and God is plenteous in mercy. “It
is the Lord, let Him do as see met h Him good:'
DIED.
At Acworth. Ga. on the 15th inst., Mrs. S. A.
Lemojk wife of Smith Lem<JF, aged 24 years and 4
months;
Also, on the 23d inst.. at Andersonville, at the
residence of Mrs M. B. Lemon, James Smith, in
fant son oi Sarah Amanda, and Smith Lemon,
aged 17 days
died"
At his residence in Burke county, on the 11th
inst., Mr. B. L Perkins, aged 48 years, after lin
gering with the typhoid fever for some time.
He left a wife, children, and many devoted
friends to deplore their loss. He was a kind hus
band, indulgent father, and a good citizen. Alas,
death has claimed a noble victim. Surely, if aught
could have softened that rentless heart, his many
virtues,, his steady adherence to the cause of duty
and humanity, his untiring devotion to (he wants
of the poor and needy, should have caused him
immunity from his untimely fate. In the duties of
his profession, arduous as they were, he never
paused even for a moment, when the cry of the
sufferer reached his pitying car. Ah ’ why could
he not have been spared to us, whose kind and
loving disposition endeared him to every heart,
while his talents, which were ol a rare and high
order, promised fair, in a few years, to rank him
as one of the heads of our citizens. While we deep
ly deplore we bow in resignation to the Divine will.
O, Lord, thy will be done.
In Covington, Ga., Sept. 16, Wm. M. Davis,
aged 26 years.
Tht> vhades of death were falling slow,
Within a chamber, where
A meek one lay. and, sinking, gazed
Into a world more fair.
“ Father!’’ he breathed, '• Thy will be done!”
And closed his eyes in death ;
“Father!” re-echoed through the sky,
Thj will be done on earth !”

“Fall many an hour has passed, and he,
The best beloved of all,
Sleeps from his cares and sorrows free,
Beside the old Church wall.
The bee, at noontide, murmurs there,
The Cedar boughs among:
And in the evening's silent air,
How sweet the red breast’s song.”

A Warning.—Delay not: harbor
not in your mind that sentence of fool’s
philosophy, that a disease will get well of itself,or
that you can cure it with certain medicines fora
few dollars. Beware how you tamper with your
general welfare.
Ye wild and vicious youths, why will ye persist
in dosing with the filthy, nauseating compounds
daily proffered, thereby impairing your appetite
and digestion, and destroying you mentally as well
as physically, when you can be cured with a few
doses of pleasant medicines?
Ye rakes of every age and condition, why will
ye suffer and repine and drag out a miserable ex
istence, unfitted for the enjoyment and even ordi
nary pursuits of life ? You who are thus annoyed,
and wish to be restored to health and vigor by a
treatment at once pleasant and effectual, should
consult Dr. Morris. His success in chronic dis
eases has been greater than that of any other phy
sician of his day. Many who havd been for years
afflicted with disease or consequences resulting
from excess have been restored to health and vigor
under his really scientific treatment.
Should a personal interview be objectionable,
state your disease in writing—enclose five dollars
—address Dr. W. H. Morris, through the Posts
Office, Nashville, Tenn., and a package of Medi
cines, securely put up, will be sent privately, and
with dispatch, full directions therewith, and no
questions asked.
, Persons living at a distance, and afflicted with
Scrofula, Old Ulcers, Tetter Cancers, Piles, Fistula
In Ano, Gravel, Strictures, Gleets, or any disease
iwhatever of an aggravated or malignant character,
can be cured at home by consulting Dr. Morris,
by letter, post paid, enclosing a fee. These Medi
cines. pleasant and safe, can be sent per mail to any
part of the United States. %
Particular attention given to the treatment of
female complaints. Ladies who may be afflicted
with irregularities, Flour Albus or Whites, Pro
lapsus Uteri or Falling of the Womb, would do
well to lay aside all false delicacy, and promptly
consult the Doctor. Cures Warranted.

Ague and Fever, of three years stand

living at Beaver Dam, Hanover county, Va , near

most of the time he had chills twice a day. and
rarely less than once; he was parched with* fevers
as soon as the chill left him ; and after trying phy
sicians, quinine, most of the Tonics advertised,
and every thing recommended to him, was about
to give up in despair, when Carter’s Spanish Mix
ture was spoken of: he got two bottles, but before
be had used more than a single nne. he was per
fectly cured, and has not had a chill orfever since.
Mr. Loagden is only one out of thousands who
have been benefitted by this great tonic, alterative
