arrived, giving a full explanation ol the uncertain fix of the
feadears and wavering condition of the proposed meeting—
a!) aid lo fuse with the regency, for it would be looked up
on as repuding Andrews—afraid to ratify his nomination
becuase, say they,“there are some weak minded men in the
dark corners,” who think that no man ought to interfere
with another’s religi6us belief or mingle the pure robes of
religion and the dirty water of politics in the pool of tierce
partisan strife, and, therefore, never would be misled or made
fi'lsof by our rallying cry, ‘Americans shall rule America ,’

D. B. Harrell, Esq ~ offered a substitute ratifying theprin
ciples and action of tho Convention that nominated Gov.‘
Johnson, and supported his position by an argument fully
showing the danger and inutility of the Columbus move
ment, and the humbug about Foreigners and Catholics—
though both were vote catching machines invented by the
ours to dislodge ins, patented in tho wrong places and had
better be avoided, (light too.)
R. Turner,'Esq., then turned up with the resolutions he
had been practicing tho crowd on in the piazza, to-wit:

Col. T. said he would like to answer some remarks which
Mr. P. had addressed to him personally, but wo ;ld not in

should speak, called. Would’nt divide, and under an

the ram-shackes left the Hall—37 retired, and when the
meeting was full, 81, in all, had only been counted by two
gentlemen without any concert or understanding with each
other.
So ends the fizzle in our county. A lew soft heads may
have deserted their principles and party, but in numbers and
material, our party has much strength. The ram-shackles
will be. below par next October, or we will “amuse” them
until that time to their hearts content. The friends of Gov.
Johnson are enthusiastic and prepared for the struggle, and
far the sake of our country 1 pray for their success. M.

Further by the America.
Halifax, July 5,1555.
j The Royal mail steamship America, Capt. Long from
Liverpool at 1 o’clock on Saturday afternoon, the 33d ult,
arrived at this port yesterday afternoon, and sailed shortly
after for Boston, where she will bo due at an early hour
on Friday morning.
The Allies had met with a serious cheek before Sebas- j
topol.
On the 18th June tho French and English respectively
attacked the MaDkoff and Redan towers, but were both
repulsed with great .slaughter.
According to one account the British loss alone was not
short of four thousand, including amonst the killed (Jen.
Campbell, and upwards of seventy other officers.
Contradictory rumors prevailed, and it was thought that
the above was somewhat exaggerated.
In the British Parliament, Mr. Roebuck had moved a
vote of censure against the Ministry.
A large new French loan was to be immediately nego
tiated.
In the Liverpool cotton Market depression had succeed
ed the buoyancy lately exhibited, and with a very limited
j demand prices had considerably declined—in some cases
| to the extent of one farthing per lb.
The week’s business has been restricted to some 24,000
bales mostly for the trade.
Breads tuffs, with the exception of Indian corn, which
had slightly advanced, ranged at about the rates current
on the departure of the Baltic.
Provisions generally were steady at former quotations.
The London money market was still easier,“and Con- j
sols had declined to 90$.
The War-
The Seige of Sevastopol—Repulse of the Allies—The j
Munition Tower Re-taken by the Russians.
Lord Raglan’s despatch and the newspaper eorrespon- j
dence are to hand, describing the gallant capture of the
Mamelon and the quarries. The details are highly inter
esting, but the main tacts have been already stated with j
general correctness. •
The allies have made an unsuccessful attempt to storm
Sevastopol. The most sinister rumors prevail in regard to 1
the transaction. By some accounts the English loss is !
set down at 4,000 men, but the report is believed to be j
much exaggerated.
The following are the only official ’notifications of the
event:—
‘•Lord Panmuro regrets to have to announce that he has
received information that the English troops attacked the ,
Redan, and the French the Malukotf towers, at daylight
on the morning ol the 18th, without success, which has j
hitherto attended our efforts. Both the French and our
selves have suffered considerably. The names ol’tlie offi- j
oers who have fallen will be forwarded immediately, but j
tt will bo impossible to receive complete returns of ail the !
casualities before the 30th iusl., (June) at the earliest.” j
j The Moniteur announces that the government has re
| ceived two despatches from Gen. Pelissier. ‘lhe fust, 1
i dated the 17th, informs of operations concocted between
j the General and his allies, and that the Turks and Chas
j seurs made a reconnaissance towards Ailodar, General j
Bosquet occupying the Tehernaya. The next day, at
daybreak, the French and English were to attack the
MalakoffTower. The second despatch, dated the 18th,
announces that the attack had faihd, and that, although
the troops had showed the greatest ardor, and gained a
footing in the Malakoff’Tower, General Pelissier was oblig
ed to order their retirement into the parallel. This was
effected with order, and without molestation by the enemy.
Private accounts, published in the London Standard ,
say the loss of British officers, in killed and wounded,!
amounts to no less than seventy. Among the killed and j
wounded are Gen. Sir J. Campbell, Col. Yea and Col. !
Shadforth. From the obstinacy and courage with which i
the combat was maintained by the British at the Redan,
and the necessity of eventually retiring from the attack, the j
slaughter on all sides has been immense; and if the in
formation be correct, the loss in killed and wounded of the j
British alone amounts to very little short of four thousand. ,
The greatest portion of the loss was experienced in a !
ravine, where a powerful and unexpected battery was
opened on the tre ops. There is reason to fear that the .
! loss has been very great, Lord Palmerston said on
Friday night no additional information had arrived. The j
allies lost terribly by the Russians springing a mine, and j
during the confusion they (the Russians) recaptured the
Mamelon tower.
Previous advices were to the 17th, stating that there i
‘had been smart firing on both sides, but w ithout any result
of importance.
All the camps are healthy excepting that at Balakla
va, where cholera prevails. The Sardinians arc suffering,
and General Majmora, the younger, is dead.
Operations against Perekop.
I A despatch from Bucharest, via Vienna, confirms the
report than an expedition has been undertaken against
Perekop. Pelissier is exceedingly savage against the tele- ■
graphic messages which Napoleon sends him. He is re- .
ported to have recently replied, that when anything oc- j
curs he will let the Emperor know, but that he has not j
time to act as a telegraphic operator. This, according to ;
rumor, accounts for the recent absence of news in the i
Moniteur.
Russian Accounts of the Allies’ successes in the Sen of I
Azof.
The Russian account of the successes of the allies in the
Sea of A/."if is published.
Gortschkoft’ confirms the success claimed by the allies,
but says that operations against the Sea of Azoff were ex- |
pectcd—that not having means to oppose the hostile tfeets,
the garrison had orders to blow’ up the batteries aiul re
tire—that the grain stores burned by the allies were most
ly private property, and do not materially affect the supply
of the army, inasmuch,as anticipating such an at a* k, sup
plies were mostly conveyed by land, notwithstanding the
facilities offered by sea.
The correspondence represented horrible atrocities per*
petrated by the French and Tuiksat the capture ot
Kertsch. A boat expedition is rumored to be preparing
to enter the river Don, but the Russians have the entrance
defended by twenty seven gun boats.
3JGen. Adujanow, N ice Hetman of the Cossacks of the
Don, has issued au address lor their general enrolment
as militia.
Reported Recapture of Anapa by the Russians — Aj m
fairs in the Principal.ties.
Tho Russian forces have advanced and encamped near
Redout Kale. The Turks have evacuated Batoum and
Chourouk Su. Nassif I’acha has advanced with his staff
to Kars/
A despatch from Varna, dated June 17, which was re*
tarded on the way, says the Russians had mad.* an u'uue
cessful attack on Kars, and it was reported they had re
taken Anapa.
The Austrian commander has proel timed mania! law
in Moldavia, but the Moldavian authorilus refuse to p.o
mulgatethe order unless author zed ly the Sultan.
Constantine Balshe, son of the regnirg prince, was
killed at Jassy, in a duel, bv the Austrian Major St; lberg.
The affair had caused considerable sensai on in the Prin
cipalities.
The Massacre at Hango—Operations on the. Ilaltic.
Admiral Baines, with a squadron of s> veuleen steamers
has left Kiel for the Baltic. The test of tho ffeet lay off
Seaker Island.
The recent attack on an English boat's crew at Ilango,
| under a flag of truce, causes much excitement in England.
Evidence rests solely on the authority of a negro, the sole
survivor, who asserts he heard the Russian commander
say, “I don’t care a damn for a flag of truce.” Unpre
judiced supposition is, that the Russians suppose the beat
was taking soundings, as recently was done at Kertcli.
Admiral Dundas has communicated with the Russian
authorities and British government through the Danish
Minister at St. Petersburg, and demands redress. The
Russian account in the Invalide Russ says six were kill
ed, and the remainder are prisoners. A despatch from
Dantzie confirms that the officers of ti e boat, Lieut. Gen
est, Dr. Easting, Mr. Sulivan, and all of the crew, except
six, are prisoners.
Diplomatic Mattel s.
Prince Gortschakoff’ is appointed resident Ru.*B*n
Minister at Vienna, M. Titoff to Wurtemberg, and M.
Fonton to Hanover. t
Russian influence is very active even in the sm; lies
German Courts.
The Journal of St. Petersburg publ’shes the semi-offi
cial discussion on Count Walewski’s French circular of
May 23d.
The Journal also semi officially says that peace is pos
sible, if France and England are willing, inasmuch us the
fourth point is morally, although not form illy, settled,
and the other points, namely, the navigation of tho Dan
ube and the evaevation of the Principalities, are also set
tled leaving only the Vienna third point to be arranged.
Hali Pacha remains in office. A national monument is
to be erected to the English dead at Scutari.

The Democracy of Pennsylvania.
| The Democrats of Philadelphia celebrated Independence
i Day in Independence Square. The meeting, says The
| National Argus, was called to order by the Hon. John
1 Cadwallader, upon whose motion Geo.il. Martin, Esq.,
| was called to the Chair, and a large number ol assisting ol
j fleers appointed. The Declaration of Independence vvas
i read by Richardson L. Wright, Esq , andan eloquent ami
: fitting oration was delivered by Ignatius Donnelly. Esq—
i The Committee of arrangeinenLj, then offered a series of
! resolutions which were adopted. Among them is the I’ol-
I lowing :
( Resolved,That the States ol the Union and our territorial
| dependencies are not le-s entitled to exemption from inter-
I fcrence of the Federal Government in their internal eon
i cerns, than the Colonies who declared their independence j
jon ihe 4th of July, 177 G. were entitled to exemption from j
| unauthorized interference ot the Government of England. I
! The States, under the Con.-titutio ml compact, are distinct j
; and independent sovereignties exet pi in their federal rela- i
j tions alone; and the spirit of this compact, according to I
| Democratic principles, should be cr rried into effect in or- j
j ganizing temporary dependent governments for the profee
; lion of settlers in our territorial domain. We recognize, j
! therefore, with unqualified approbation, as sound, practical !
j expositions ot this principle, the Congressional enactments
! ot the year 1850, and the subsequent act organizing terriio
j rial governments for Kansas and Nebraska.
; Resolved, That the Democratic party in Pennsylvania
| have wisely profited by thn lessons of last year’s experi I
• ence, and in expelling from their ranks unworthy proiess
j ing members, whose hidden treachery had been the cause
of defection and desertion, have laid the foundation of a
J pure organization, as the means of restoring their power
i on its lormer stable looting.
j Resolved; Tbit we find ahour.dant cause for congratu-
I lation in recent proofs ol the progressive restoration ol this
power. Within less than a year we have witnessed a
change in our favor in our own city of more than seven
thousand votes, a change through which we may, with
confidence predict in the next ensuing vote, a complete ov
erthrow ol the present corrupt, imbecile and intolerant
municipal government. In the meantime, our beloved sis
ter Common wealth, Virginia, has passed the ordeal un
hurt. ‘The regeneration of Connecticut and Louisiana is
the precursor of that of Pennsylvania. We pledge our
selves lo our sister States that the Pennsylvania Democra
cy will be true to themselves at the next October election,
and will carry the State by such a majority as will vindi
cate political and ieligious liberty,and sustain the princi
ples of the Declaration ot Independence.
The meeting was then briefly addressed by ex-Vice Pre
sident Dallas, at the close of whose remarks it adjourned
with nine cheers lor the good old cause.

confirmed. The parlies met at Westport, Mo., Gen.
Striugfeikwv demanded front Gov. Reeder a retraction cl
charges or imputations made against hint by the latter in
someone of his e;isteru speeches. Gov. Reeder declined
to make any retraction, or to give any satisfaction, and
then followed the personal recontre, in which the Govern,

Reeder now professes to be a pro*slavery man.

Is there Anything in the Catholic Religion Unfavorable
to Freedom.
Henry Clay said not. The following is an extract from
a speech on the emancipation of South America, delivered
by him in the House of Representatatives, March 24,1818.
“Dispersed over such au immense space as that on which
tho people of South America aro spread, their physical,and
I believe alto their moral condition, both iavor their liber
ty
With regard to their superstition, they worship the same
God with us. Their prayers are offered up in their temples
to the same Redeemer, who.-e intercession we expect to
savous. Nor is there any thing liu the Catholic Religion
unfavorable to freedom; all religions united with govern
ment are more or less inimical to liberty; all separated fiom
government are compatible with liberty. If the people of
Spanish America have not already gone as lar in religious
toleration as we have, the difference iu their condition from
ours should not be forgotlon.
Everything is progressive; and in time 1 hope to see them i
Imitating in this respect our example.”

S. K. Cannon, in the 69th year of his age.
Capt. Cannon was born in Barnwell District,S. C. where
he spent the first years ol his life and when*, ihe sad tidings
of'his death will awaken the sincere regret of many a friend
and relative who cherish an affectionate recollection of his
benevolent > and admirable character. Death, however,
gave him no warning ol his coming, lie had just risen
from the dinner fable, with his family and a couple of
frieuds who called in and was conversing with them in the
piazza, with his accustomed joviality, when suddenly his
head drooped upon his bosom mid in a moment his spirit
had tied! Thus hav we lo tan upright citizen, an open
hearted and hospitable friend, a man universally esteemed
for the kindness of his nature and the straight-forward in

PRESENTMENTS.
THE Grand Jurors selected aud sworn on ?the First Panel,
for (he county of Muscogee, at the Regular Term of ihe
Superior Court ol said county, held on the 4ih Jl/onday of June,
lbsf, bea leave to make the. following Presentments:
We earnestly call the attentii n oi the interior Court and
City Council of Columbus, lo the condition of ike Cc.uit
House. Whiff it does not exhibit the appearance of actual di
lapidation, yet, there is much room for improveroemeut. This
ouri House, probably the most costly in tbe State of Georgia,
and beautifuhy situated inn public equare, ought to be kepi,
not only clear of leaks and in good repair, but the grounds in
which it is located, deserve erpecial attention.
We respectfully suggest to the Hon. Inferior Court and City
Council, who have it in charge, that tho Brick Waffs mound
the square be rc-lormed ai.d run on the line oi the lot, that
the walls inside of the lot be removed; that the entrances to
the square be protected hy heavy ami substantial seif-shutting
Iron Gates, such as are umU in other cities for like purposes ;
tlmt the steps, which now afford easy access to all kinds of
stock into the In, be also removed. Wo further suggest that
the present privy be taken down, a more suitable piace seleo- !
ted, and another erected, large enough lor the purposes reqni- |
red; that the grounds be gia ied sg as to run the water to the j
sotith side of the id,and that an under gionrd \induct be j
constructed to convey the same to the large ?ewer in ‘lhomas j
street. This beautiful lot, thus improved, and beautified wuh •
tre* s, shrubbery ami grass, and all slock and poiiltiy kt pt out ;
of it, would become what it was intended to be,a pleasant and
delightful p'omemtde for our .eHow-citizens.
We haveexatniued the jail of the county .and find it insecure. !
The partition between the passage and Hie stairs, running to j
the second floor, is quite unsafe. We therefore recommend !
that, it be torn down and anew one more substantial be put up
aud a st: oug iron grated door be plactd at the bottom of the
stairs in lieu of the present dose one. Also tne south w in- j
dow iu foe Hall Oi the second story lo have strong it on bars let
into the uprights, and that the s'ovein the 4 Debtors‘ room.be re- }
moved, aud placed where the pipe can run direct.} into the I
chimney through an iron grate. Also that the ground floor be
thoroughly repaired. It affords us much pleasure to slate that
ihe Jail is kept in a cleanly and orderly manner by our Sheriff,
Mr. Brooks.
We report the following public bridges in a very dangerous
condition, viz: the one across tiie Standing Boy .Creek, near
Parkers; the one near Jefferson Diggers 1 over the same stream,
and the one across ihe Upatoie Creek, known as Randal’s. We
report the following in a bad condition, viz: the one across
the I’patoie, known as Woollolk’s: tbe one on St. Mary’s road,
known as Gully Blanch; ihcone across a stream near Dr. Rob
ison’s plantation, and tho one on tho old Macon road, near
the former residence of Capt. Schley, all of which cau be im
proved by small repairs. We recommend that the Bridge
known as Wall’s, across ITpatoie creek, be rebuilt.
The roads generally are in a passable condition.but would be
much improved by a little work. vVe hope the proper autho
rities will take this mailer iu hand and will ei.ptct better roads
and bridges in future.
We have examined the books, papers end records of the
Clerk of the Superior Court, ami rt.p >n them kept in a neat and
systematic manner, with alt papers, belonging to the office,
labelled, numbered and kept in their proper places, for which
the present clerk, D. J. Barber, deserves treat credit.
U e have examined the State Docket, and find forty five Slate
Warrants which i ave not been served, and he parties li vim
in this county. This matter should be attended to oy the pro
per officers.
We have examined the Docket of Fines and Forfeitures,and
find the sum of eighteen hundred and thirty five dollars stand
ing on the same, which has accumulated in the June Term,
18 *5, and all ot which we consider entirely good. We reaper l
j tally request the Justices ot’ the Inferior ourt to appoint some
; fit and proper person, whose duty it shall be to look after all
I lines amt forfeitures, have them collected and applied to their
proper use.
Vv e have also examined the offices of the t’lerks of the lu
ferior Court and of the Court of Ordinary, and find their books,
papers, and records, neatly kept, showing their official duties
ably and efficiently discharged.
It has been brought to the consideration of this body that,
in consequence of the amount of Titigation,not only in this coun
ty but in others of tne Chattahoochee Circuit, that the labors
oi the Judge are onerous and excessive, frequently requiring
more than thirty eight weeks per annum to complete the f ir
ouit, and even with that labor, leaving undisposed of impor
tant Dockets in this court; in view then,of the importance of
sufficient time being allowed the Judge to complete the bus!
ness ol the Court at e. ch sesion, we earnestly recommend that
a change be had in the organization of the Circuit, and that
our Senator and Representatives in the next Legislature be rt
qu >sted to obtain the passage ol a law fort Lat purpose.
Upon the important subject of the Education of the poor,
we have to report that owing to ti e fact that the Receiver ol
lax Returns has not had sufficient time to complete his duties
and makeout a return t the Clerk of the Inferior court of the
number of children of all tax payers, between the ages wf 8
and Hi, and also orphans and children of widows paying no
tax, so that the Grand Jury could furnish the Ordinary wiilia
list therefrom of such as shall be entitled to the benefits of tne
poor tchool fui.d, we find it out of eur power to act farther in
the premises, than simply to recommend the Ordinary t<> levy
ana cause to be collected by the Tax Collector, a tax ot \!u per
centum upon the Mate Tax of the county for the year 1855, for
the education of the poor of this county. But while we join
iu thus recommending the Ordinary to duebarge this duty, lor
Hu* present year, we cannot but express our decided convictions
that this system, as it now stands, vs wretchedly defective, and
calls for u speedy and radical change. The Ist Section ol the
act ot IB.YI, requires the Receivers ot Tax Returns in tbe sev
eral counties of Lhis State, to have an additional column to
their fax Book, in which they shall enter the number of chil
dren o all tax payers, between ffie ages of eight and sixteen,
and also orphans and children of widows pay ing no tax. The
•Jil Section requires that the returns \o made, be handed over to
the Ulerk of Use Inferior court, whose duty it shall he to lay
tire same befoic the first (.rand Jury that shall assemble there
after, who shall select therefrom and make out a list of all the
children entitled t . the tv neflts of the Boor School luml undti
existing laws, which list shall be placed in the hands ol the Or
dinary.and by which heshaii be governed in the payment ot
touchers having claims upon the poor school iunds. this im
poses upon the Grand Jury iu many counties of the Staton
duly, if not impracticable, is truly very onerous. In this county,
for instance,there are over one thousand Tax Bayers, to say
nothlugof orphans and children of widows paying no lav.—
Now to luniishlhe list, as required bv the second section as
above recited, makes it necessary for the Grand Jury to exam
ine with great care eveiv name upon the tax book, and se'ect
and write off therefrom a list of tne names of all tiie children
between the ages of Sand Iff, whose parents, guardians or
next friend, are unable to pay for their schooling; also or
phans and children of widows paying no tax. This is a very
heavy task, when we consider the many other indispensable
duties imposed upon the Grand Jury. I! this duty is perform
ed by them at ad, a must, necessarily, be very imperfect. VVe
find upon inspecting a list, made out by the Grand Jury of last
yeai, many cnildron named whose parents are very well able
to pay tor their schooling, and some of them, we learn, have, so
paid out of their own lunds. We learn from reliable authori
ty, that many of the teachers aie wholly unfit and incompetent;
yet under the operation ot the law, asit now stands, they are
placed upon an* qual footing,so far as participation in thisfund
ts concerned, with tne best and most meritorious. This is a se
rious evil, but the worst feature of the system, if system it can ,
be called, is the entire want of confidence felt by the people,
that any practicable good results from the money they i recall
ed upon every yearto pay for this purpose. They look upon
this tax as s<> nlu. h of their earning* thrown away, feeling no
confidence as to ns just application or of Us effecting ar-y good.
There e.be no litc, spirit,or success in a system which pro
duces such distrust. We learn that the laid on the
State Tax of last year and collected for this object amounted
j to over $ ftJO in this county alone. The question may well be
’ asked, what good did it doV it this tax was temporary it might
be t derated, but as population increases this tax must advance.
VVe feet that a further continuance :>t this f-ys’em in its pre
i sent defective workings, will be but the infFciK Uof au impo
j anion upon tax payers, producing but a partial ii any valuable
j result whatever. We therefore look to the next Legislature
for its total abrogation, and the substitution in its stead ol
I sonieother plan which we hope will be found more fdvanta
j gdons. VVe think there is a better plan —the one adopt.<l in
| some of the New England States, if not in alt, known us their
; District School system, we feel confident can be made to work
well in many of the counties of our State. This plan contetc
i plates the division of each county into School Districts of pto
■ pnrtionul size and population; that the qualified voters of these
I Districts shall annuallyeieet three of their most worthy citi
zens, who shall be known as selectmen or trustees, and who
shall be paid a reasonable compensation for their services.—
That these select men or trustee?, thall have charge of the Dis
trict’s share of tiie Poor School Fund, also of the Districts
part.of the extra tax which may be levied and collected from
the county for the education of the poor. That *.hcy shall se
lect a site and have a suitable school house erected; shall em
ploy and pay competent and worthy teachers; shall make out a
correct list of the children in the District whose parents are un
able to pay for their schooling, with another list of parents who
j are able, to do so.
I A system founded upon some such plan as the above imper
| feci views indicate, seems to u>-, would work much betteithau
! the present one. By this plan the whole mutter Is brought di
rectly helore the citizens ot each District; each one has a voice
j through their selectmen or Trustees in all the arrangement-: j
i they see ti e tax they have paid actually applied to help educate
the p >or oflheir district. Hv c.ntrojii.st n.eir j.art of the poor |
’ Wheel fund, ami ttu*].- .hare of Ihe extra tax, adding thereto ,
| ;he money coining from those in the District who can pay for
llie schooling of the r children, they wil; he able to secure, at |
| all Lines, the rvices of competent airl worth) teachers. By ,
j this means they can give the.r rh.ldrt n a good education un i j
j have them at homo under their own eye— a matter of no little j
I importance to ho'h par* nt and chil ;. In counties ot spaise ‘
! population, this plan might not answer tor the present; such j
I would have to await population, but theii portion of the poor
school fund may he : pplfed as they may deem Le?-l uul.l the
; tiinearrived c m'd adopt the one under consideration, j
i This c ude cuil ne of a system we submit to whomsoever i
: may represent us in thvuexl l.eg'.slatt.re, and respectful.y ask :
them to bring iu and n* rfi ct a Bill :or this iu portant ol j- ct —i
Wc confidently In p -and believe that some Mich plan cat) he !
adopted promising more success than any vet devised, and b\ j
which every child in <ur beloved Bute, from the lowest to the |

Tallapoosa <’o., Ala.,Jan.2, 1852.
| Dicar Sir:—l send yon this to certify to you that your Ex
tract of Ye low Dock and Barsaparilla inis performed one of
tne most vomlerful cures on me that has ever been effected on
1 have been aliPcted for forty yea's wiih eruptions on ray
!es and leet; in IB4S they g<-; so bad t.hal I iad to eo on
crutches, and tn 1849 l had one leg amputated above the knee.
In about nine months after my other leg .broke out in tar/c
eating aud running sores from my knee to my foot, and dis
charged a great deal of offensive matter. My groin aa, broke
out in large biles, A-bicb disebargeti much offensive matter.and
at tne same time my left hand broke out in iarje running sores
nearly to my elbow'.
The misery that have suffered for thg last two years I can
not describe to jou. I was iu such agony that J never rested
day or night.
in October last my son brought me one of your bottie wrap
pers; I read it, and found record of some wonderful cures
performed by 3 our “Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsapiriiia”
I sent and got two bottles of it. and ‘commenced taking it. In
two weeks, to my great, astonishment., niv sorer all became ea
►y.aml 1 could sleep all night, a thing I bail not done lor two
)ear;-’ When I had taken six bottles, my pores hud nearly all
healed, .’.ly sores got well a* if by enchantment. 1 have now
used iu nil eight bottles ol your “Extract of Yellow Dock and
Sarsaparilla,” and now consider myself w 11.
I ent'eat ail of the afflcited to try this medicine, fori believe
it will cure any known disease in the world. Lay aside all
pr judice rs and just try it, and proclaim fits great worth to
suffering mankind and entreat them to take it, for it will cure
them.
My cate is well known in a large portion of South Farolina,
Georgia and Alabama, and it any should doubt the above
cure, I invite them to *eall on me, and I will show t tern the
scars, i can be found in Tallapoosa County Alabama, one
mile from Btoe’s Ferry.

I TO THE PATRONS OF
PERRY DAVIS’
VEGETABLEPAIN KILLER.
OWING to the large amount of Counterfeit Pain Killei put
up and sold asgemine by unprincipled men, we have
been obliged t * report to very expensive measures to protect
ourselves pecuniarily, and the public from great injury, by
buying and using their worthless counterfeits. Tne compar
ative plain and simple style in which our Pain Killer baa
beeh pul up, has made: ii very ea-.y lor those disposed,to im
itale U very'successfully, as far as its external appearance,
in -iyh- <*.’ bottle, label, and color of the article; but we need
no; fcitv thru the compound is a miserable, filthy production,
and calculated to do great injury to those *ho might use it
wi*h tho confidence they have been accustomed to use the
srenuinc P: >n Killer. Parties whose business It is to counter
t,'ii valuable preparations, do it in such a secret manner,that
it is almost useless to attempt to punish them hy legal meas
ures, as it is difficult, and wo mighl say impossible to bring
the proof home to them.
Considering the great difficulty in protecting ourselves and
the public by prosecuting parties, we have been to a very
great expense in getting up a finely executed
STEEL ENGRAVED LABEL,
for our bottie*. We also attach to our bottles a Steel Engra
ved note of band, which we issue as our obligation and the
counterfeit which is held to be forgery by the laws of the
United States, and which parlies v ill not dare attempt to do.
Tbe great expense attending the gelling up and priming of
these labels, will prevent the attempt to counterfeit thus se
scuring to the public that the article they purchase islhc gen
uine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, manutuctured by Perry Davis
& Son. Boi,* Proprietors,
The Pain Killer will be put up in anew styie of (panel bot
tle, wiih the words
DAVIS’ VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER,
blown in tbe Glass. We have discontinued the use of
the G7 X cent bottles and now put up only fear sizes,
viz— cents, 15 cents, 50 cents, and sl, per bottle.
We have alto a very Engraving on Stone, for the Box
labels, speci vir.g the contents of the box. where and by
whom manufactured, &c. We have also added to our Pam
phetof directions aud certificates, a cover beautifully finish
ed, presenting on the first page a very excellent likeness of
Perry Davfe, the original inventor of the Pain The
bottle label*, and one label on each box, has also a correct
likeness of Perry Davis, winch it will be impossible to coun
terfeit successfully-
We have been to this expense, that the public might have
perfect confidence that they were getting the genuine article
when the} buy a bottle “a* above described. To those who
have so long used and proved the merits of our article, we
would say that we shall continue to prepare our Pain Killer
of the best aud purest materialg, and that it shall be every
way worthy of their approbation as a family medicine.
