Sewing Machines.
Extract of a letter from a lady in the
country, who had purchased one of
G rover & Baker’s Sewing Machines, a
short time ago, to one of the ladies in
the Machine Rooms in this city :
“ You expressed a desire to know
what progress I am making with my
Sewing Machine. I take pleasure in
stating to you that my progress has
been more rapid than I at first anticipa
ted ; in fact, I have no trouble what
ever, but what was easily remedied.
Mv first day’s work was to sew twenty
two yards of linen—l commenced late
in the morning and finished early in
the afternoon. What do you think of
md first day’s work ? I’ll assure you I
was perfectly elated with my success,
though I think, I can do better now.
Ma has learned to sew and is very much
pleased with the Machine.
“ Permit me to thank you kindly for
your generosity in offering me your as
sistance if I should get into trouble
with it. Should anything of the kind
occur, I will write you.’’
College Publications.
We have received the “ College Miscella
ny and Orphan Advocate, conducted by the
pupils of Covington Female College.—
It is a neatly printed and well conduc
ted paper, and highly creditable to that
institution.
This is, we believe the third publics
tion, emanating from the Female schools
of our State. The Fly Leaf, from Col
lege Temple, Newnan, and the Gem from
the Kennesaw College, Marietta, being
also conducted by the ladies of these
institutions, respectively. The Univer
sity Magazine, formerly published at
Franklin College, has been suspended
for many months.
{fP The Blue Ridge Railroad bill was
defeated in the South Carolina Senate
on Monday.
The Chattanooga papers are dis
cussing the question,whether their town
belongs to Georgia or Tennessee. The
Representative says it is a matter of con
troversy among old citizens, whether
the territory on which it stands is right
fully the property of the State that
claims and holds it or not, and that a
determination exists with many to in
vestigate and settle the question.
Congressional Pugilism.
Mr. Shorter, of Ala., Friday, pio
nounced a statement, by Mr. Wash
burne, of 111., to be “false and slande
rous.” Mr. English, of Jlnd., said
“,'good morning ” to Mr. Montgomery,
of Pa., Saturday morning, on Pennsyl
vania avenue, and Mr. M. replied, that
he “didn’t speak to puppies.” Thisan
nouncement of his persoual peculiarity
was rebuked by Mr. English, knocking
him down with a stick. A brick was
fired at English as he walked off, by the
member from Pennsylvania, but did no
damage.
Later from South America. Prom
Rio Janeiro we have news toOctober27.
There is no news of interest. A special
legation had been dispatched to Mon
tevideo and Parana to rearrange the
terms of some old treaties. The Uni
ted States minister to the Argentine
Confederation, Mr. Yancey was at Rio,
with his family, cn route to the seat of
his duties. Much sensation in fashion
able circles has been created by a ball
given by the flag officer of the American
squadron on board the St. Lawrence.— '
The elite of the Brazilian court were
present.
From Paraguay we have information
of new concessions of Brazilian trade
made by Lopez. Preparations were ma
king to celebrate the dictator’s birth
day, but none apparently to meet
the coming expedition from the United
States.
Accident at Fort Wayne, Indiana. —
During a severe storm which passed

occupied by a baker. His wife, a daugh
ter about fourteen, a young man em
ployed in the bakery, and a small boy,
the son of a neighbor, who had just en
tered, were the victims.

(gr A . Diver Remedy.—The j
Liver, according to Physiologists, occupies in
our human economy a place second only to the ’
| heart, and consequently i 3 one of the greatest ■
dispensers of health and happines.s, or sickness i
| and disease. To keep the liver in the proper j
j performance ofits duties is to keep the system j
! in a state of health, and free from all bodily ills. |
I Dr. Saxdford’s INVIGORATOR is a great Rkgu- ! i
i LATOH op the Liver. It instills into it new life j i
! and vigor, strengthens it. and invigorates it,!
| curing the fountain from whence so many j
! streams of sickness flow. We say to all who
j are troubled with any derangement of the Liv
j cr, such a3 Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache, <
j Billiousness or debility of system, do not fail to

I “In passing through Pittsburgh, some months j,

■on returning home I bought two more bottles j y
i from Dr. Dyott, which completely cured me of I,
Neuralgia. I have recommended the article to y
many of my friends, and four or five of the num

IST From the .Missouri I>c
moc rat .—Upon I’rof. 0. J. Wood, of St. Louis,
fortune has conferred the honor of having dis- ji
covered a balsamic preparation, which not only j
promotes the growih of, and beautifies the hair
iu a high degree, but restores it when it is gone, •
or turns it to its original co'or after it has be- j
come gray, fastens it to the scalp and effectually
destroys such cutaneous eruptions as may have
been engendered by the use of d- es, essential
oils and other injurious applications. The many
respectable testimonials which are offered in its
favor, from every part of the country in which
it has been introduced, leaves no loop for a skep
tic to hang a doubt on. Itissupplanting all other
specifics for the hair, and enjoys a popularity
which no other has ever attaiued. Buy it—test
it—and your attention has been di
i rected to it.
Caution. —Beware of worthless imitations, as
several are already in the market, called by dif
ferent names. Use none unless the words (Pro
fessor Wood's Hair Restorative, Depot St Louis,
Mo., and New York), are blown in the bottle.

f*TTUe Great Problem
Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
-1 DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
lias lost the power of duly converting food into a
■ life-sustaining clement, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which w r as a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- 1
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with '
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
ten ible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnatural condition {
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
| tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
j from the use of this Cordial, which atoccecalms,,
] invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
! organization.
| Females who have tried it are unanimous in
| declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
j woman has ever received from the ha'ds of j
i medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, Im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite i
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pbarrnacopia.
lfloug life and the vigor necessary to its en-I
joymont are desirable, this medicine is indeed of i
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either (
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, tlio listless,enervated youth, the overworn
man of busiuess, the victim of nervous dtpres- j
! sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ j
j willuil find immediateand permanent relit f from ;
! tho u-o of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
i will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled v. ith their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach i
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The!
j Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re ;
I erence to the causes, and will not only remove |
i the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- j;

IfTCiire of Diseased Liver.

Seth W. Fowle— Sir : You are at liberty to use j >
the following statement for the benefit ol the as- j ,
I flicted:
j I was attacked with the Liver Complaint, j
which apparently brought me to tho brink ol i
the grave. Daring my sickness I was attended t
jby three physicians in our place, but received *
!no help. I also tried the various remedies re
• commended fur such complaints, but they as- :
' forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
! persuaded to try Wistar's Balsam of Wild 1
; Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored t
!to bettor health than I have enjoyed before for
- ten years. This statement may be relied upon i
jas strictly true. Betsey Perkin . j
