COMMUNICATED. 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.

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. C. Lewis, Esq , then moved, that a committee ol three be appointed to take the subscription list around the city, and see what amount could be obtained in the city for that purpose.

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 Burning of the Pike.— The Pointe Coupee Echo extra, closes a notice of the burning of the steamboat 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. Price $1 per bottle ; six bottles for $5. 83?“ Beware of counterfeits. None genuine unless signed I.

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.

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. ! THOMAS F. BETIIEL, Foreman. Cary W. Allen, James M. Barron, William Lowe, James Shuptrme, James Trice, Thomas Anderson, John C. W.

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 Itiiigivorui A Teller l k iutuieni. It has been perfectly well for several months, and for years previous, thought to be incurable. FROM ALABAMA. Tallapoosa County, ) April, 1849. i This is to certify, that Dr. Little’s Ringworm and Tetter Ointment, cured a Ringworm of two year’s standing, bv a few applications, when every thing else had tailed. In another shnilar case, I have known the Oimmeirt used with entire success. L. W. ROBERTSON. Auburn, April, 1849. Dr. Little—Sir: 1 have cured two cases o.‘ Scald Head in my family with your Ringworm and. Tut ter Ointment. Respectfully, Ac , WM. O. MOORE. 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. Sold by the Proprietor at each of his Drug Stores, Milledgeville and Macon ; Dr. Carter and J.F. Winter &Cos., Columbus ; L.

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.
