from the Hamburg Republican.
Heavy itusiivess.
We believe that last week, from Monday morning to
Saturday night, was one of the heaviest week’s business
ever done in our town. We were indeed gratified to
perceive that the street* were crowded, and the stores
aiMualiy thronged with people pretty much nil the week.
1 lie rnv pts of produce was very large, being ot
Cotton 3,810 balestordie week, 1,297 of which came in
on 1 hursday. ()n that day there was no less than 254
wagons in our streets between sun rise and the going
down oi the sniue, and at 12 o’clock, tln rc wns count
ed in the streets I(>4 wagons loading and unloading.—
In addition to the cotton received, was a large quanti
ty of riour, Corn meal, Bacon, Lard, Butter, and in
lact almost every article ot produce grown in this State,
North Carolina or 1 ennessee ; not even forgetting sev
eral lots of livestock, such as Cattle, Hogs, Horses,
Mules, Sheep and Turkeys. The week was a proud
one lor the founder ot Hamburg, and what oiirmerch
■ ants (‘till a good busiuoss week. Every body from the
wholesale dealer down to the smallest retailer was kept
jit work .nnd consequently happy. Even we poor fcl
lowsoi the 1 vpogranincttl Art r me in tor n share, get
d|,r’n W l h < ‘ week thirty-three new subscribers to
the Refurlican ; it fact it was a lucky week lor us,
one kind friend sent us a barrel of Truesdnle’s best Oys
ters from Charleston, another to show that Savannah
was not to be outdone, sent us from that market two
large Shad to match. Thank you! thank you all gen
tlemen! such kind favors are duly appreciated, and we
shall endeavor so to demean ourselves as to get them
duplicated.
“On the first Tuesday in thh month immediately be
fore the commencement ot the mie of certain lots in the 1
town of Hamburg, Mr. Henry Shultz, l y permission .t
Sheriff, made an Address to the assembled crowd He
snoke at some length, and in a feeling manner, upon
the longstanding difficulties winch gr.*w out of the cele
brated Augusta and Hamburg Bridge ease, between
himself and certain corporate bodies in the former city
He proved by documents, which he exhibited, that lie
was forcibly dispossessed of the Bridge.”
“We sincerely desire, and we believe that the high
court before whom this important case is now pending,
will render ample justice to Mr. Shultz. May the de
clining days ot ibis venerable man ye| be prosperous i !
happy, and ns he has suffered much, m iy he live yet to !
enjoy much.”
After copying the above from the Edgefield Adverti- I
ser, we feel bound to put in a word ot our own, not by !
way of justification to Mr. Shultz, either before the
Court or the public, but ns the independent head of a
public journal, wi leel it tube a duty devolving upon us j
to ring the alarm bell whenever we see, or think w e per
ceive danger to the people, in coining events. The
documents referred to and explanations mentioned by
the Advertiser, are the same in substance as are found
in our columns to-day, over the signature of Mr. 11.
Shultz, and all speak for themselves. The fact is clear
ly established, that the great Bridge ease is now before
the Supreme Court of the United States, nnd will, in *
all probability, have a hearing at no distant day. What
the result is to be we do not pretend to foretell, but ot
one thing we are certain, the amount involved is vety \
large, nnd should it be decided in favor of Henry Shultz j
the Bank ot the State of Georgia will l>e compelled to
respond to the decree of the Court. The effect likely j
to be produced on this Bank by such a decree we will
not even surmise, as the jieople are as able to look for
ward to the result as wc are to predict.
For the Republican.
Information to thott Concerned.
| B. Baird, F*sq.
Dear Sir VV T ill you pleaflc to copy this article in the
columns ol the Republican one time, and charge me
with the same. lam liappy to say that Judge lfcrrien
has informed me, by letter, that the Supreme Court
has accepted the appointment of Mr. Joseph J. Ken
nedy, Trustee, in place of Mr. John W. Yarborough,
deceased, and direct it, bis name, to be put on the dock
etas a party in the case, so that it is now fully re-iusta
j ted, and stands ready for trial this Term, if the Court
reaches it, and as this case is now fully and fairly he
j fore the highest tribunal of the country. The magm
• tude of the amount involved, the interests of individu
-1 a ls>. far and near, stock and bill holders, and justice to
; mysell demands that it should go luily and lairiy before
j the public at large ; aiso, in order that 1 may not stand
I branded with the odium of having injured or ruined nn
innocent community. I will give the most important
j facts in this case now, and the explanations from time
Jto tune hereafter. The proceedings in this whole af
j fair have been so extraordinary, thnt I could hardly
suppose that my statementscoold be credited, unless 1
j had strong proof to sustain them, and for that purpose 1
have inserted those exhibits, numbering from one
to 5, to which I shall refer as often as may dc necessa
ry. No. Ito 2 shows when the Bridge was taken from
me, in whnt manner, and by whom. No. 1 shows the
proceedings on the day of safe. It was not sold—and to
that good man, Thomas Cumming, Esq., the credit is
due that it was not Peace to Ins ashes. He was Pre- |
sident ol the Bank of Augusta. He cried out shame— ,
told the Sheriff to take the hills and call at his Bauk and
get tiki .specie lor i li* m. which he did, and paid off the
execution under wiiich the levy was made and posses
sion taken, but the Bank of the Slate of Georgia did
not return the property. I aid not resist the Sheriff in
making his levy, but did resist his taking possession
under it, because it was not moveable property. But
the Agents of the Bank ordered lum to take it ut all
hazards, and offered to assist him, and did assist. No.
3 shows in what maimer they got the South Carolina
end. No. 4 and 5 shows that an appeal from the Cir
cuitdecree, in Savannah, July 1846 has been taken by
both Complainant and D< fondant, by which it will be
seen that both parties seek a decree from the Supreme
Court. The amount claimed in the bill is $635,000
This amount is made up of toll and interest. In form
er years the toil was from 17 to SIS,OOO. It is now
from 21 to $25,000 and upwards, owing to the imm< use
trade between the two Railrocd*. All of which the
Bank is bound to pay in law, while she lets the Town
Council of Augusta receive it involuntarily. My suc
cess will of course give me the right to collect from ei
ther partv It is said that inv success may break the
Bank. Be thnt as n may. 1 shall seek to get what
is my own. and not a birthing more. Now its acock ■

Dkar Sir.— Forth* friendship and respect l have to
wards you, 1 leel it my duty to let you know what I saw
as I was returning home from the Theatre, on the night
of the 11th inst. bptweenthe hours of twelve nnd one
o’clock. 1 came in company with two gentleman of
respectability to the gate ot the Georgia end of the Au
gusta bridge, for the purpose of crossing, and at that
etui, I saw Mr Samuel llale. He (Mr. Hale took one
ofthose gentleman aside, nnd said to him in my hear
ing, that a company ot men had gone to the South Car
olina end of tin Bridge for the purpose of throwing that
gate overboard. In a few moments thereafter, I saw
from six to eight men coming from the South Carolina
end of the Bridge ; some wen* armed with niusketsand
bayonets, and others with crow -bars. On their approach
to Mr Hale, he asked them if they hud and uu the busi
ness Some answered they had. We then immedi
! ately passed over the Bridge before any other ts*rsons f
and saw the gate was gone from the South Carolina end.

There are probably few tiling for which wc ought,
as regard* the means of health, to he more grateful to
Providence than for the introduction of tea anil coffee <
As civilization advances, the man of wealth and rank
usa-s personal exercise less, whether in walking or on
horseback, and prefers the luxurout carriage as a means
of transporting himself from place to place keeing pace !
with the progress of civilization, is the number of the ,
thinking and the studious increased, a men which
is proverbially, and with lew except ions, sedentary ; tan
tamount to the increased number and importance of our
commercial relations,is a larger number of men drawn
from the fields, and the health-fraught toils ot agriculture*
into the pent-up and close atmosphere of a town, and
have their time occupied in sedentary, or almost sedan- :
tary, employment; and in these ways there has ari
sen a daily increasing number, ol all classes, who taking
) lc.-*exercise,could bear less food could aasimila’e, con
-1 riatentiy with health, a lea* amount of nutriment; who
’ could not eat with impunity the meat and beer break
lasts, tiie heavy and substantial food to which tiic.r fa there
been accustomed ; and, as if to meet this, tea and coffee
have l>ecn introduce !, and supply the desideratum a
diet which is palatable,only moderately nutritious, and,
if not abused, quite harmless. It lias been the fashion
of late years for the professors of certaiu new guises ra
which quakery lias presented itself—arrayed in one case
in die assumed garb of fasts and experience ; in the
other, m that ol mystical and funciful reasonings—to
contend against the hannlessues of these great beverages
of daily use , and to advise their discontinuance, unless
in occasional, and probably infinitesimal doses, and for
directly medicinal purposes. The experience, tlsi coin
forl, the temperance, and the well-being of civilized
man, are all happily adverse to such a view as this ; and
like most of the other errors of these quacks and vision
aries, it hardly influences the many, and cannot lnug
continue to influence even the few —Robertson on Diet
and Regimen.
Age of Poultry*
Farmers usually sell poultry alive except in some
partsof die conutry, such as the Borders, where geese
ure ktlledaud plucked for the sake of their feathers be
fore being sent lo market. Poulterers in tow ns, on the
other hand, kill and pluck every sort of fowl for sale, so
that the purchaser lias it in his j*ower to judge of the car
cass ; and if lie buys an inleitoi a ruck ui a hghpiice
it uiunibe his own fault. It is easy to jndrje of a pluck
ed fowl, whether old or young, by the state ofthe legt.
If a hen’s spur is hard, and die scales oil the leg rough
she is old, whether you see tier head or not; out the
| head will corroborate your observation, it the und r bill
lisso st iff that you cannot bend it down, and the cou.b
thick aud rough. A young lien has only die rudiments
ol spurs, the scales on the legs smooth, glossy, and
ticah colored: whatever the color mny be, the claw*
louder nd sliort, the under bill soft, and the comb thin i
and smooth. An old hen turkey lias rouuh scales on
the fogs, callosities on die soles ot the feet, and long, I
strong claws: a young out the reverse ot all these marks {
When the feathers ure, on, an old turkey cock has a
long beard, a young one but a sprouting one , and when
they are off die smooth scales on the legs decide the
! point, besides, difference ol size m the wattles of die
i neck, and in the elastic spot upon the nose. Alt old
goose, when alive, is known by die roughness on (he
i legs, the strength of the wings, particularly at the pin
foiu*, the thickness and strength of the bill, and the firm- ,
| ness und dnekneflsoi the feathers ;and when plucked
i hy die legs, pinions and hill, and die cunrscneM of (he
ckin. Ducks are dumnguialied hy the same, but there
|is dua difference that u duckling’s hid fojuuch longer
! in proportion to the breadth of its head than that of nn
1 old duck. A young pigeon is discovered by it* pule I
! colored, smooth sciled, tender collapsed feet, and the
yellow long down interspersed among the feathers. A
pigeon that can fly has si ways'red colored leg* and no
down and is then too old for use. [Stephen’s Book ofdie
