yjessrs Editors Permit me respectfully to call the
Mention ol our Honorable City Council, to the pro
jety 0 f reconsidering two items in their Annual Tax
ct '’ I allude to the Tax on Bank Agencies, and Cot
ton Ware-housemen. The Tax on Bank Agencies is
obnoxious to the following objections—
recollect that Banking Capital pays a very high tax to
the State— also, to the cities where the Mother Banks
are located. These things considered, the tax imposed
by the present ordinance, is high.
Secondly. It is a tax at last on the business of the
place. The few Bank Agencies that pay it, will exact
it back from the regular business of the place. They
can and will do it. Depend upon it, we are more depen
dent on them, whether rightfully or not, than they are
upon us.
Thirdly. Such taxation reduces facilities and narrows
competition. To my certain knowledge, two Bank
Agencies have been driven from Macon by such like
taxation, a few years since. As long as we must be
dependent on Bank Agencies, the more the better.—
Bring in as much capital as possible, but doait let us
drive any away. God knows, that is a short staple
with us now.
Finally. Such taxation by driving away capital
brings our business and merchants effectually under the
power of individual capitalists. The greater the dis
proportion between the capital and business of a place,
the higher the market value of money,and consequent
ly the smaller the profits of business. We feei that
now to be the case in Macon. Do not let us increase
the evil. For the sake of our business men, and par
ticularly young merchants, with small means, consider
of these thing3.
The tax on Cotton Warehouses is obviously unequal.
It taxes the man who receives 800 bags as high ns hint
who can show the receipt of 30,000. Would it not be
better and more just to impose a tax of one or half a
cent a bag ? You know, Messrs. Editors, lam neither
Bank Agent or Bank Stockholder, nor Warehouse
man; nor do I ever ask Bank accommodations. All
that influences me, in presenting these considerations,
is the good of MACON.

On motion of P. B. Cox, that a blank subscription be
laid on the table, for the purpose of seeing how many
subscribers could be obtained to the project, and the
amount taken by each.
There being some objections to this motion, or rath
er,the usual mode of obtaining subscriptions in such
companies, the meeting was addressed by several gen
tlemen, when the following substitute was instituted by
the President and carried :
“ We the undersigned subscribers, agree to pay the
sums affixed to our names, respectively, for the purpose
of building a Piank Road from Griffin to West Point >
No subscription to be binding until $30,000 are sub
scribed,and no contracts for work to be made, till the
necessary amount of cash is paid, to pay for the work so
contracted for, with the distinct understanding, that no
liabilities shall be created by the company, beyond the
amount subscribed, and no individual subscriber shall
be, by any action of the officers, made or held res
ponsible beyond his subscription.”
The list upon the adoption of this substitute, being
laid on the table, .about $9,000 were subscribed.

Col. Fremont’s Nondescript.
The animal,said to have been captured on the moun
-1 tains of California by Col. Fremont, and for which nat
uralists could not find a name, is now’ stated to be a
“very common horse,” with some disease of the skin
which changes his coat. It has been on exhibition for
several weeks at New York ; and, to make it more at
tractive, the hair of the mane and tail ha# been pulled
out, which gives it “the neck of the deer and the tail
of the elephant.” Many thousands have gone to “see
this elephant,” at the rate of twenty-five cents per
1 head for the sight !
Summary.
Arkansas.— The Little Rock Banner, of the 10th
inst.,contains returns from all the counties in the State
but two—lzard and Mississippi—which gives Col.
Roane, the Democratic condidate for Governor, a ma
jority of 62 votes. This, the Banner considers, in
sures Roane’s election.
United States. —The London Times praises the
warlike prowess of the United States. It says:
“All the States, all parties, and all professions, equally
contribute their quota to the field, thus proving that
Texas and New Mexico belong not more to this or
that State than to all, and exhibiting also a pledge to
the world of the terrible unanimity with which the U
nion will, on future occasions, prosecute its quarrels or
its ends.”
\\ isconsin Bankrupt. —The Milwaukee Sentinel in
forms us that the treasury of Wisconsin is so palpably
empty that the members of the late Legislature either
went home without any money or had to stand a hea
vy shave on their warrants. The counties are delin
quent to the amount of over $19,000, The deficiency
in the treasury is about $25,000. Locofoco misrule, as
usual, has accomplished this state of things

Gen. Pike, <hus:
We regret to add, that Colonel Butler, a gentleman
well known in many parts of the Union, and, we be
lieve, a citizen of Texas, in which State he had late
ly received an appointment from General Taylor, per
ished in the flames, while endeavoring to rescue a la
dy, who was travelling in his company. The cargo,
we understand, was fully insured, the boat partially.
The General Pike was commanded by Captain R. H.
Kendall.
Increase of Population. —Mrs. Miller,residing near
Fahnestock’s brick yard, Harrisburg, recently gave
birth to five boys, all of which are alive and doing well.
What makes this case singular is, that at her first con
finement she gave birth to two, and at her second to
three, and at this, her third, to five, making in all ten
children in four years, and all living.
Not a Bad Law. —By a late law of Pennsylvania, it
was enacted that landlords who knowingly rent their
houses for improper purposes shall, on conviction, suf
fer the penalty due to a misdemeanor. A woman who
kept a disorderly house was brought before the author
hies, yesterday, and she swore, under oath, that one
of our most respectable citizens had rented her the
premises she occupied, with the knowledge that they
were to be used in that way. The magistrate, under
the circumstances, was compelled to issue a warrant
‘or the arrest of the party.— Philad. lnq.

Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
Important Testimony from High Authority.
From the Editor of tile N. Y. Mirror, Aug. 9th 1848.
A perfect cure and no mistake. —We are about
to write a voluntary statement of a cure recently ef
fected by Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry, which the
editor of this paper is willing to give under his own sig
nature. We make it pro bono publico, as we have nev
er seen the proprietor of this invaluable medicine,and
know nothing at all about him. Al>out four weeks
since,one of the compositors in this office was suffer
ing so badly from a cough that he was unable to sleep
nights, and too iceak to stand at his case. He became
very pale and thin, and gave symptons of falling a
victim to quick consumption. We recommended to
him various remedies winch had no effect. Finally we
gave him one bottle ot Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, which we obtained of the Messrs. Bands of
this city ; it afforded him immediate relief, and he is
now a well man, gaining in flesh daily, with a ruddy
complexion, and not the slighest sympton of a cough.
’1 hesenre facts, and further pntticulars maybe learned
at this office. We should add that the cough in the
above case was accompanied by profuse spitting of
blood.

In Memphis, Tennessee, on the Ist inst. Mrs. Mary
A. P. Crocker, in the 29th year of her age, consort
ol George F. Crocker, and daughter of Anderson and
Rebecca Rice, late of Bibb county, deceased. She was
bom in Baldwin county, Georgia, 1820. In her youth
she remembered her Creator, and when about 16 years
of age, experienced that change, without which “ 110
man can enter the Kingdom of God.” She joined the
M. E. Church in the city of Macon, and was an exem
plary member, until transferred by the Head of the
Church to membership in the Church triumphant.—
Her disease was complicated and chronic, which she
bore with Christian resignation for several years. She
has left a husband, one little daughter, a brother, and j
sisters, and a large circle of friends, to mourn the loss of j
a devoted wife, a fondjmother, a loving sister, and a
sincere friend. But we mourn not as those who have no
hope, for ourloss was her eternal gain. Farew’ell, dear \
sister, until the last resurrection morn.
Then, why should death be linked with fear ?
A single breath, a low drawn sigh,
Can break the tie that binds us here,
And w’aft the spirit to the sky !
Such was her end. A calm release—
No clinging to this mortal clod—
She closed her eyes, and stood in peace,
Before a smiling God.

APRIL TERM, 1849. S
\\ F., the Grand Jurors, chosen,selected and sworn,
: Ts tor the county of Upson, at the April Term,
Ittfy, beg leave tomake the following general Present
ments :
\\ e have in the discharge of our several duties to
wards the county, examined the Rooks of the Clerks
ot the Superior, Inferior and Court of Ordinary, hud
them neatly kept, and much to the credit of those olfi
cers. We have, also, examined the accounts r.nd
vouchers of the former, as well as the present County
Treasurer, and find in the accounts of the former
Treasurer, William l). Woodson, $1,139 70 on hand,
which amount we find placed to the credit of the coun
ty on the books of the present Treasurer, C. 11. Jones,
in whose hands we find a balance in favor of the coun
ty ot $1,120 40. We have, by committee, examined
the Jail,and find it in a very unsaie condition, though
kept as neatly as the nature of the case will admit.
We recommend the Inferior Court to have anew
fail built, forthwith, unless they, upon an additional
examination, think it can be so repaired as to place its
i safety beyond doubt; in either event, we lecominend
j the interest ot the county to be consulted.
We further recommend, that the Inferior Court have
the Court House painted white outside, as well as oth
er impairs ihat may be needed, put u[ki:i it. We find
the Roads and Bridges of the county, in a tolerably
good condition, with the exception of the Bridge at the
\\ ayntnanville Factory, which we learn is in a dan
gerous condition, and recommend the Inferior Court
have the snme rebuilt or repaired,
e find in the hands of the Treasurer of the Poor
School Fund a balance of *357 83. We feel deeply
the necessity of a system of General Education ot the
masses, and believe in the doctrine advanced by the
: presiding officer of this Court, that the safety of our in
i dilutions, politically,and religiously,depends much up
, on the dtssemmination ot knowledge amongst the rising
j generation ; we consider it, therefore, instead ot a
i then, to be a great privilege to have an opportunity of
, aiding in the enterprise.
We, therefore, recommend to or.r Inferior Court to
assess a tax for this desirable object, believing that 121
per cent, will be sufficient with the surplus on hand, to
educate at least, the poor of our county.
We further recommend, the Inferior Court to have
the Jury Boxes revised, as we learn from the Clerk of
the Superior Court, that it is greatly needed
We have examined the Books of the Tax Collector,
and find his insolvent list to amount to $lO6 49, which
amount we recommend the Inferior Court to allow him, I
provided the same cannot be collected.
In taking leave of his Hon. Judge Flovd, we tender
him our sincere thanks tor the able and impartial man
ner in which he has discharged his official duties. We,
also, tender to the Solicitor General, our thanks for his
courtesy and attention to this Body, and the faithful
discharge of the duties of his office during the present i
Term of this Court.
We further request, that these Presentments be pith- j
fished. !

I extraordinary success.
CUTANEOUS affections, known as Scald Heads,
old or obstinate Tetters, and some others, are ex
| tremely difficult to cure—indeed,are incurable by most
of the preparations physicians ordinarily prescribe.
From Dooly countv, an extraordinary case has been
given of a man who has had a chronic Tetter upon the
; chin and lower lip for 15 years, that had resisted every
thing—which has been recently cured by Dr. Little’9

THE FRENCH MIXTURE.
IT has been a source of much annoyance to Physi
cians, that no remedy had been devised for the prompt
cure of Chronic diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder,
and Venerial affections (Gonorrhoea.) To a very great
extent, and far in advance of any remedy of the day,
this has been accomplished by the introduction ot the
French Mixture. It is not only a safe, bat invaluable
medicine, recently introduced into the United States,
for the cure of this disease, in its various complicated
forms.
Some years ago, I obtained a Recipe of tlte French
Mixture, which I have prescri: ed with unparaid ed
successever since in the treatment of these diseases,
and chronic affections of the Kidneysand Bladder, not
however, without some modification ot the extensive
compound that suggested itself from time to time, in
dafn nil active prescribing business with the medicine.
Being thus improved and perfected, I consider that a
new era lias dawned in the treatment of these diseases,
by the introduction of the French .Mixture, which is
not only a sate remedy, but a sure and speedy one.
For the purpose ot adapting the remedy to all the
forms of the disease, and to the various peculiarities of
the constitution, it has been found necessary to nse the
medicine as mod ikied in the forms ui Nos. I mid 2
The first for the acute stage, and No. 2 in the chronic
form ot the disease. It is in the latter form (Blen
nrcrhcea) that so much difficulty has been experienced
in curing it. and which is by far the most common.
For the cure ot Fluor Albus, a bottle of No. 2 of this
medicine is a sovereign remedy, as a day or two’s use
will prove.
In submitting this medicine to the test of public
scrutiny, I have no fear for the result. Hundreds of
cases have been cured by it, and even in wild and dis
sipated subjects the cure has often been prompt and ef
fectual.
No doubt, if taken as directed, it will promptly cure
the most, il not all of those old and almost deserted
cases,thought to be incurable. Its pe-eminent success
has been achieved mostly in cases of this kind, whilst
in all stages ot the disease the effect has been unequalled.
The French Mixture having been counterfeited, the
public are therefore particularly informed that the genu
ine medicine bears the signature of Wm. (J. Little,
Proprietor, upon the outside wrapper of each bottie;
and without it, it is spurious, and not to be relied on.
Beware of imposition, and avoid the use ofsubstitute9.
The sac stinilie of thesiguature of Dr. WM. G. LIT
TLE, will be found upon the outside wrapper of each
article, and none others are genuine.

BRANTDRETH’S PILLS.
Health !—o blessed health i—Thou
art above all gold and treasures; ’tis thou who
enlargest the soul—andopeneth all its powers to re
ceive instruction, and to relish virtue. He that has
thee, has little more to wish for ; and he that is so
wretched as to have thee nor, wants every thing beside.
Let us be thankful, Brandreth's Pills, will give us health
get then these blessed Pills, which a century’s use
has fully established to be the best medicine ever
bestowed on man. For the prevailing cold and coughs,
they will be found every thihg that medicine is capable
of imparting.
In Colic, and in Inflammation of the Bowels, these
Pills will at once relieve, and perseverance in their use,
according to their directions, will surely do all that
medicine can do to restore the health of the patient.
In diseases arising from the use of mercury, or from
any cause or vitiation, from bad blood or otherwise,
their use will produce the most happy results. In all
attacks of Rheumatism, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum, and
in cases of chronic or recent Costiveness, the use ot the
Brnndreth Pills will be productive of infinite service—
sometimes occasioning so great a change for the better
as to cause great thankfulness.
I,• oil <>f Indication. Worms. Asthma, Dis
eases of the Heart, and in all Affections of the Stomach
and Bowels, the Brandeth Pills will be found a never
failing remedy.
To insure the full benefit of these celebrated Pills,
they should be kept in the house, so that upon the first
commencement of sickness they may be al once resor
ted to. One dose then is better than a dozen after the
disease ha 9 become established in the system.
The Brandreth Pills are purely vegetable, aud so in
nocent that the infant of a month old may use them if
medicine is required, not only with safety but with a
certainty of receiving all the benefit medicine is capable
of impairing. Females may use them at all the criti
cal periods of their lives. The Brandreth Pills will in
sure their health, and produce regularity in all the Junc
tions of life.
Mr. Circovich, of Caracas, says, “I have entirely
cured myself of the Fever-and-Ague, which I have had
for six months, by taking from 8 to 12 of Brandreth’s
Pills for one month.”—Vide his fetter to Dr. Brandreth,
dated Bth February, 1847.
Be careful you do not wet a counterfeit, to avoid this,
purchase of the duly authorized agent.
The Brandreth Pills are for sale by one Agent in
every town in the State, and by JACKSON BARNES
sole agent for Macon.
