TURPIN, D’ANTIGNAC k Co., Druggists, Au gusta, having been appointed by the proprietor of the above valuable medicine, wholesale Agents, have just received a supply and are prepared to furnish it at the lowest Eastern prices. By reference to the newspapers of the past few years, it win be seen that this is the article that has been so much lauded by men of science. The nostrums sold in this country, under the name of Tomato Pills, were got up long since the original and genuine article was discovered. sep 2 wss TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF FAMILIES. DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF TOMATO—a substitute for Calomel, and does not belong to the family of quack medicines; for the reason that tho component parts are made known to the faculty, or any one else that may wisli to know, by any of the agents keeping them for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to be made from tho stalk, a thing not more absurd than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to say nothing of tho difficulty of raisingHhe Tomato so far North. Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of which, he holds himself hound, and in honor pledg ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they profess to he, and will do for othcis what they have done for such as mav have used them ; as this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will doubtless he valuable information to families to know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable as the Red Tomato, ami produces twice as much of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used as a daily vegetable will he found to keep the system in much better condition than the other kind ; many ,will recollect with what trembling anxiety calomel has been given to children, and how they then wished for a substitute. It has long been known that tiic Tomato contained ca thartic principles, hut not until of late was it ascertained that they contained alterative and diu retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that they know what it is Were it a patent mystery, they would he hound to reject the medicine, as they justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the day. If you wish to cleanse the system witli a mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in this city.

Us operation upon the human system is sucii that it invariably acts like a charm, for the relief and radical cure of a certain common and disagreeable ‘dlls the flesh is heir to.” This prize obtains its own name from the certain success which has attended it B rough all of its trying circumstances, namely, “five days,”—the same success which followed it in a Northern lati tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue and hazard by M. Chevcres, from the celebrated Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu siness in the North-west with the Indians. — Wabcnoshe prized highly and use it with invariable success throughout his two tribes. Us known and valued virtues have already enriched to an abnost incredible extent the children of this warlike prince, not only by actual sale of the article itself to in dividuals, hut by parting with copies of his receipt at enormous prices to the Chief of every tribe of Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the Great Spirit, never to divulge the “art of its com position until he sleeps with his fathers,” although free to use it in their respective tribes, which places it in the hands of every Indian who rely with, 1 may say, religious confidence on its cura ble powers. Below is acopyol the translation as near as it can be anglisized of the deed given by Wabcnoshe, to M. Cheveret, when he purchased the original recipe, and had twice assisted the Chief himself through the tedious manipulatory process of manufacture. Few white men would credit the length of time which is consumed in preparingthe article for im mediate use. TRANSLATION. “I, Wabcnoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowaand Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which 1 have for my white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has done many good things for me and my people,) 1 give to him my greatest cure for tho bad sickness which my children hare had sent among them as a punishment by the Groat Spirit, and hope that in his hands it maydo much good,and make him very rich,” Signed WABINOSHE.his X mark.

The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,” is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to aflect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree - able consequences which almost invariably results from ( the sodden cure of Gonorrhoea, have been known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, Immor alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of tho most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and treatment of Gonorrhoea.

BENJAMIN DAVIS. sept 12 ts “The Crisis.” Under this rnption tho New York Starlmsa end interesting article respecting money matters in that city, from which wo make tliefol lowing extracts: 'VV'ithin a week an immense importation of S ool ' B has taken place in this city— not one-third ot which is for American account. Goods ore forced into our market and sold ( at low prices for cash, or guaranteed paper; and tho whole is spee dily converted into specie and sent out to Eng land. In this way it is impossible to avoid a drain. At this moment, there is not in the Hank ■of England nine millions of dollars—that insti tution must issue- ono pound notes or stop specie payments. Russia, for great ulterior objects, is , drawing the coin from England, Holland, and other parts of Europe; and the situation of those , countries is worse than the condition of ours, for wo can (all lack upon our crops, which rapidly succeed each Ollier. As a market must lie found | lor English manufactures to keep tho operatives | tranquil, heavy shipments are made to the United i Elates and paid fur in coin, which is sent out of tho country. T ho redemption of notes in circulation by our Hanks is easily ellccted—they can redeem every dollar, and have a surplus, but cun they do the same with their deposites? Hero is the difficulty. Granting that every confidence is placed in our hanks—that the best feelings prevail, it is reason able to believe that large deposites are owned , abroad, and may bo called for in coin. In the midst of these embarrassments, another very im portant question presents itself. What is to be come ol our merchants and dealers—are they to ho cut off in their facilities—is the line of dis count to he farther reduced instead of being ad vanced? It has been said ihnt the banks, in this emergency, are bound to take euro of themselves —to meet the storm in reference to their own protection. Wo think differently on such mutters. Hanks arc chartered for the public good—to meet the exigencies of trade and commerce—to extend the credit system—to benefit the community at large, and not to provide for stockholders, directors or officers, who hold always a contingent interest in the matter. Exclusive privileges can only lie conferred on corporate bodies for great public objects. Every application to the Legislature for a bank charter, is based on the wants of the com munity for more banking capital. It will never answer, therefore, to countenance the doctrine, “Lei /hr merchants take their chance, and let the hunks prilled themselves,’’ their interest are ono and the same. Wo have :?5,000 citizens in this city engaged in trade mid commerce, or de pendant on these great interests for the support of their families. If the question should arise, will you sustain your banks or your people—wo say sustain the people, and hi the hanks take care of themselves. If, therefore, a determination to continue specie payments by tho banks of New York involve an abandonment of the mercantile interests, wo should prefer their suspending at once. As it is, the immense difference in the local exchanges renders it exceedingly difficult for customers in the west and south to meet, their engagements in this city. If, added to this diffi culty, it is intended to curtail hanking facilities in consequence of this suspension, merchants will break, though banks may still pay out. Here is the unpleasant dilemma in which banks may find ' themselves, and which must be looked to in time. An apprehension may ho felt by banks that on suspending they will forfeit their charters; but the example of Pennsylvania and Maryland shows that a liberal feeling exists even among the opponents of hunks. We hope to sco specie pay ments continued if merchants are not to bo sacri ficed. It is just and proper that every effort con sistent with tho protection of oilier great inter ests, should be made to sustain the banks; but in the whirlwind sweeping over the whole country it is not desirable nor just that every thing should be prostrated excepting the banks. And if events call for a suspension of specie payments here as elsewhere, how can we bo worse off than we were in 1836-7? The hanks went on; their charters were preserved; business was brisk.— They were driven to resumption prematurely by speculators in coin, and this second suspension is the fruit of that hasty measure—but nevertheless they went on, and merchants who were solvent were sustained, and it cun be done again. In Philadelphia the hanks arc discounting liberally to merchants, while hero they cannot obtain a dollar discount, even upon collateral security to five times the amount of the sums required. When the banks suspended in 1837, wo look ed with great anxiety to the final result of that movement. At that period, our liabilities, and also the liabilities of every class of the commu nity were immensely great, and at tho same time , the means 6f payment, whether in coin or arising out of property which could he shipped, was comparatively limited. At the present time lia bilities of hanks and individuals arc much reduc | ed, and the means of payment greatly increased. In one article alone we may safely say the condi ■ tion of the country is belter by thirty or forty ■ millions of dollars—the short crop of bread stuffs I in 1837 in the United States, required an impor -1 tation of nearly ten millions of dollars. At this ’ time we may safely say that the country is able to sj/arc twenty millions of dollars worth of this article. Wo therefore look upon a general sus -1 pension of specie payments as no way alarming, s without any forced action to produce a subsequent I resumption. We believe the ordinary course of 1 trade, the balances arising from our shipments a | brood, would, on (he first day of July next, pro bably before, place hanks inacondition to resume specie payments without a single effort. If we are right in this reasoning, it may be ' well to throw out a few words of caution to those . whose opinions an; influenced by men deeply in i terested in the business of foreign exchanges. ; We are wholly opposed to any plan whereby a , set of money dealers shall bu able gradually to • exhaust the country of coin, while they are 1 preaching up the idea of the banks preserving j their integrity and paying to tho last dollar.— Let us take one or two examples, and it will be \ found that the operation is the same. Suppose f the agent of Haring A. Co. is in posses don of , funds or securities capable of being converted in > to cash to the extent of half a million of dollars, ‘ which he was anxious to transfer to London. ' If he waits until our banks suspend before he [ remits, he will bo compelled to purchase coin at probably ten per cent, premium or exchange at 20. What would be bis course? Why, he would cry out to (he banks, " be. honest, pap to ' the last dollar.” In tho meantime Ids funds L would be transferred, and the merchant, who is under the necessity in the course of the fall to make a remittance, would bo compelled to call on ! tins very agent and pay him 20 per cent, for a ; a bill of exchange, in other words. Haring At , Co. would make £30,000 out of New York merchants by this by this small operation. , Suppose another case; suppose Brown, Droth , ers Ac Co., nr Prime, Ward & King, or any oth er heavy bankers, arc desirous of making large gains out of the present state of things. They can now sell exchange at ten per cant. Suppose tlu’y commence the operation of shipping specie uliile the banks pay; after they have made a shipment of a million, a new public opinion is created—instead of saying to the banks "lie hon est and pay out your last dollar.” the cry is— ** . ' ' m "ks have done all they can, and are now driven to the necessity of suspending;” how much money, wo ask, would these houses moke on those shipments'! We arc to keep in view, that when the present crop goes forward, our bank* will he again placed in a condition to meet their engagements. Ihe packet of the I0(h is still in port—it is said that she has been detained by the weather; this may he so, hut we arc inclined to believe that the 55300,000 of specie already said to be on hoard, will lie raised to £OOO,OOO when she is un der way. It is likely to he true that this money is not directly from the hank.;, but is rather ex« luiustmg the sources of supply, and the minor channels of circulation, still the hanks will even tually feel this loss just ns much as if it was taken from their vaults. The consequence of a similar operation for the three or four packets and the Liverpool steamship which take their departure in all the present mouth, may be well understood, J’here is another idea worthy of consideration, and that is (he effect of a suspension of specie payments at this point, upon the excessive and alarming importations not, as wo have said be fore, made by American merchants, hut commit ted for sale to foreign agents generally. We would consider that if the effect of a suspension was to arrest this uncalled for influx of foreign merchandise, to render it too costly to make a re turn of proceeds,///«/ a substantial benefit would arise from the movement.
