Advertisement Sfaxta, Nov. 223. 1854. M>. Editor: —Please do me the jostice to -ire to the public, throu E h the medium of your -aper, the following letter, addressed by me to the Editor of the Chroni.lt i Sentinel, Dr. W S Jones, a. long ago as the 4th of September m re -I, to a communication from him of the JI st ot Aa-est. My ,etter to hitu will ex P !aia ltsei! It is us follows '■ Sparta, September 4tb, 1854. g IB i have before me your letter of the3lst ■ltimo, declining to give me the name of the au thor of a piece which appeared in your paper ot the 28th ultimo, and which 1 deem to contain personal and insulting reflections upon myself. You say " 1 can find nothing in that piece that refers to you, or that is in the least personal to vou He (the author) certainly does not call your name, nor the name oi the place where the transaction took place, nor have I any reason to believe that he referred to you, and cannot, there fore. give you the author's name.” And you add, •• if I were to do so, it would be a violation oi all the rules that govern in such cases.” Inia pre vious letter, to which yours is a reply, I had de manded the name of the author, tor the stated purpose of seeking personal satisfaction. 1 o com ply with such a demand could violate no * rule, except one which constitutes you the sole judge of two essential matters, in which I alone have an interest—the insulting character ot the piece, and its intended application to myself. As re fection would suggest that in general, a mere publisher, unacquainted with the circumstances described, and the person attacked, would be but an indifferent judge concerning the bearings ot the one, or the identity of the other; so your ac tual decision in the case before us, illustrates only the deficiency of your materials, and by no means the justness of your judgment. It is a suggestion of reason, that no man, not even an Editor, is bound to know all things, and it is equally a sug gestion of justice, as of good taste, that no man should judge things of which he has no know ledge. Calumny may be as effectually conveyed by artful insinuation, as by direct averment, and as in either case the injury is equally great, so in either case is the author ot it equally responsible. You, in the absence of all knowledge, concerning the things hinted, and the person assailed, may safely pronounce, that you have no reason to be lieve that the author of the piece in question meant to refer to me ; but those who are familiar with the recent history and present situation of Sparta, perceive in his circumstances a point, and discover in his inuendoes a meaning, which to the uninitiated, are a sealed book. The descrip tion of the locality of my “shop,” residence and -family; “Our Manufacturing Company ;” "The «olonade of the Hotel;” the allusion to the - Election of Town Commissioners;” the recent establishment of a lodge of the Knights of Jerico in this place ; the pendency of “ several bills of Indictment;” the reference to a person, who in this community, is well known to have recently “ sadly deranged his brain” with drinking; and above all, the great “ victim, old uncle Jesse,” who is placed prominently in the fore-ground ot the picture, and who is well known to have died recently in our midst Irom the effects of intern perance, and to have been in the employment ot *• Our Manufacturing Company” just before his death—are all circumstances pointing to Sparta as yourauthor's scene of action, and fixed in their application to myself by the fact, that I am sole proprietor of the only “licensed shop” in the town. While such indexes as these direct the public attention to me as the object of your author’s at tack, the use by him of such epithets as " noto rious and infamous character;” “ demon ;” “ dou ble-faced demon ;” “ fiend” and “liar,” gives me the right to inquire of him, whether I am the person to whom they are applied, and without a disavowal of such an application, a right to pur sue that personal satisfaction which so gross an outrage warrants me in demanding. It is a right which I mean to pursue to its utmost extent.— In the meantime, if you see fit still to decline a compliance with my request, will you do me the justice to publish our correspondence upon this subject in your newspaper ? (Signed) Respectfully, Thomas M. Edwards. Dr. W. S. Jones, Augusta,Ga. To this letter I have never received any an awsr, nor has it (within my knowledge) ever appeared, as requested, in the Chronicle $ Senii ml, the paper which served as the vehicle ot the calumny upon my character. On the 19th of September, fifteen days after the above letter had been sent by mail, I dropped Dr. Jones an addi tional note, requesting to know of him whether my letter had been received. To that note of inquiry also, I have never received any answer. If my communications have indeed not reach ed the eye of the Editor of the Chronicle ts Senti nel, then will this publication in your paper serve the double purpose of bringing them to his know ledge, and of explaining to the public the reason of my delay in prosecuting that personal satisfac tion, which is to be demanded of—l, as yet, know ■ot whom. On the other hand, if my communi cations have been received, then the silence with which they have been treated, may serve to show to the public the value of a paper which hi shelter anonymous slander under the inac cessibility of the Editor. Scriblers, who are at oace malicious and timid, may then discover their appropriate refuge; and it may be under stood,that when an anonymous lie has found its way into the Chronicle <§■ Sentinel, it has taken MMetuary. Yours, respectfully, Thomas M. Edwabds. Tribute of Respect.—At a very numerous meeting of the citizens of Jefferson and adjoin ing counties, held in Louisville,on the 14th inst. to give some expression to the feelings of the community in vie w of the recent untimely death of their esteemed fellow citizens, Dr. Philip 3. Letnle. Judge Wm. W. Holt was, on motion of Major George Stapleton, called to the Chair, and A. R. Wright appointed Secretary. p. G. Arington, Esq , offered the following Preamble and Resolutions, which, after a few re marks from A. R. Wright, and an eloquent arid impressive address from the Hon. C. J. Jenkins upon the public and private virtues of the de eeased, were unanimously adopted; Death, the common lot of humanity,invariably impresses a community, into which it enters, with awe, and usually excites a pervading though silent sorrow. But when a man of eminent nsefuleees and dis tinguished social virtues falls beneath the hand of the destroyer, the general sentiment of grief demands expression in a public tribute of respect f or the memory of the deceased. The people of Jefferson county, here assembled, find such an occasion in the demise of their lamented fellow citizen, Dr. Philip 8. Letnle. Alike distinguish 'd for his professional skill, his liberally endow ed and rarely cultivated intellect, nie high sense <f honor, his unambitious public spirit, and bis ■ctive benevolence, his demise has created in our immunity a vacuum we may not tope to see filfod. Bovrimr suhmissively to this afll. ctive dis pensation ot Divine Providence, and sorrowing moat of all for his bereaved family, we claim the privilege of offering our sincere but inadequate 'estimon.'al of his worth and our grief. Therefore Resolved, That in the death of Dr. Philips. Letnle the State cl Georgia has lost one of her moat intelligent and valuable citizens, and we of Jefferson county an eminent physician, a leading public man, a \ vise and gentle counsellor in C'.tb , ulty, and a nev.v failing friend in adversity. Jksofrsvi, That we deeply sympathize with the tiereaved family of which he was the head, and tender them as theo.’dy offering we can make, siur heartfelt candolenetA Kr sol red. That this testimonial, signed by the Chairman and Secretary, be published in the Au gusta Constitutionalist & Republic, Chronicle & Sentinel, and Central Georgian, and a copy be transmitted to the family of the deceased. Wm- W. H out, Chairman. A. R. Wriobt, Secretary. [cOHMUHtCATKD.] To the President anil Board of Trustees of the Georgia Female College Gestukmks :—The Baard ot Visitors appoin ted to attend your examination and commence ment beg leave to report, that they have experi enced the highest gratification in the discharge of their duties. We noticed with pleasure the perfect order in which the classes successively presented them selves and retired, and the dignity and propriety of their manners while before us. We feel sure that they have been well trained, and that they have had before them high standards. In their recitations they were prompt and correct, and although the time was too short to exhibit the extent of their advancement, it was sufficient to prove that they had been faithfully instructed, and had received ideas as well as words. The whole was the more gratifying to your Committee, because it was conducted with out any ot that trickery anTartifice but too com mon in our Schools, and because there was none *f that rapid repeating by rote, of answers sug gested by leading questions. We are sure that from such instruction as is here given, there must result a thorough education, and eminent qualifications for future usefulness. In the Musical Department, we regard the Georgia Female College as unrivalled in the I ability and energy ot its instructors. Their own performances proved, that they could piace a high standard of taste and execution before their pupils, and the performances ot the young ladies, proved that they had been laborous and success ; tul in imparting instruction. In the other or i namental branches,the specimens of art ex hibited in the building, testify undoubtingly to I the ability of the teachers, and the poifieiency I of the pupils. i In the department of Rhetoric, both in ! the Junior and Senior exhibitions, your Commit ! tee have been thrilled with delight. We felt the power of poetry and of reason ; we wept with the deep sympathies of the human heart ; we smiled at the happy’ expression of beautiful ideas, of good sense, and of sound morals ; and we laughed at genuine wit directed by a correct (taste, and a well informed mind. We feel proud of your institution, and we do not hesitate, in the most unlimited sense, to com j mend it to the patronage of our citizens. Signed in behalf of the Committee, J. W. Johnson, Chairman. ( Jno. Hillyer, Secretary.

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. AEK for HAMPTON'S VEGETABLE TINCTURE. The many cures made by thia pleasant and safe remedy may induce counterfeiting. A medicine must have merit, and great merit too, to stand the test of public opinion. No art of puffing can galvanize a worthless article, so as to keep it up as a good medicine, if it be not really so. A good medicine will live, become popular, and ex tend its sales year after year, in spite of opposition. The people readily find out its virtues, and the fame of them passes from mouth to mouth with more rapidity '.han newspapers can spread it. A living witness testi fying to the cure a medicine has made for him, is of far more service than any newspaper advertising. Tn proof of what we say above, we refer you to HAMPTON'S VEGETABLE TINCTURE. an<l its effects. LIVER COMPLAINT. DEBILITY. Extract from James Harris, Esq's Letter. Virginia.

PHILADELPHIA MEDICAL HOUSE—Established2o. years ago by Dr. Kinkklin, corner of Third and Union Streets, between Spruce and Pine, Philadelphia Invalids are apprised that Dr. Kinkelin confines his practice to a particular branch of medicine, which en gages his undivided attention. lie cautions the unfor tunate against the abuse of mercury; thousands are annually mercurialized out of life. Recent affections are promptly extinguished. Twenty years of experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto neglected and imperfectly un derstood, K s enabl.d Dr. Kinkelin. (author of a work on Self Preservation.) to prove that nine tenths of the ! causes of nervous debility, local and constitutional I weakness, mental and physical suffering, are traceable i to certain habits, forming the most secret yet deadly , and fatal springs of domestic misery and premature mortality. Take Particular Notice.— There is an evil habit some times indulged in by boys, in solitude, often growing up with them to manhood, and which, if not reformed in due time, not only begets serious oostacles to matri monial happiness, but gives rise to a series of protract- J ted, insidious and devastating affections. Few of those I who give way to this pernicious practice are aware or ! the consequences, until they find the nerveus system ' shattered, feel strange and unaccountable feelings, and vague fears in the mind. The unfortunate thus affected becomes feeble, is una ble to labor with accustomed vigor, or to apply his mind to study; his step is tardy and weak, he is dull, irresolute, and engages in his sport with less energy than usual. If he emancipate himself before the practice has I done its worst, and enter matrimony, his marriage is i unfruitful, and his sense tells him that this is caused by his early follies. These arp considerations which should ! awaken tbe attention of those similarly situated, • Marriage requires the fulfilment of several condi tions, in order that it may be realty the cause of mutu al happiness. Could the veil which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed—in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disappointments! Apply then while it is yet time, in order to have your unstrung and relaxed organization rebraced, revivified and strengthened. Remember, he who places himself under Dr. Xinke lin's treatment muy religiously confide in his honor as a gentleman, and rely upon the assurance, that the se crets of Dr. K.'s patients will never be disclosed. Young man—let no false modesty deter yod from mzking your case known who, from education and respectability, can certainly befriend you. Two many think they will conceal the secret in their own hearts, and cure themselves. Alas! how often is this a fatal delusion, and how many a promising young man, who might have been an ornament to society, has faded from the earth. Strictures of the urethra are rapidly removed by the application of a new therapeutical ageht, used only by- Dr. K Weakness and constitutional debility promptly cured, and full vigor restored. Country Invalids can have (by stating their c:t<e < x plicitly, together with all their symptoms, per lette:. enclosing a remittance) Dr. K.’s medicine,appropriated accordingly.
