YEGETABLEJXX IN KILLEIL
OWING to the large amount of Counterfeit Pain Ki Her put
up and sold as get nine by unprincipled men, v. e have
been *>blige<l to resort lo very expensive measures to protect
ourselves pecuniarily, ard die public Iron great injury, by
buying ami using their worth’ess counterfeits. Tne compar
ative plain and simple s!>le in which our Pain Killer has
beeh tut up, has made it very ea y for those disposed,to im
itate it very successfully, as tar as its external app arence,
iu t>le of bottle, label, and color of the article; but. we need
not say that the compound is a miserable, filthy production,
and calculated to do great injury to those who might use it
with the confidence they have been accustomed to use the
genuine P>in Killer. Parties whose business it is to counter
feit valuable preparations, do it in such a secret maimer,that
It is almost useless to attempt to punish ih- m by legal meas
ures, as it is difficult, and we mighi say impossible to bring
the proof home to them.
Considering the great difficulty in protecting ourselves ami
the public by prosecuting parties, we have bet nto a very
great expense in getting up a finely executed
STEEL ENGRAVED LABEL,
for cur bottles. We also attach to our bottles a Steel Engra
ved note of hand, which we issue as our obligation and the
counterfeit which is held 10 be forgery by the laws of Hie
United States, and which parties will not dare attempt to do.
The great expense attending the getttng up and priming of
these labels, will prevent the attempt to counUrfeit thus se
scurimr to the public that the article they purchase bthe gen
uine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, manulactured by Perry IhTvis
&. Son, Sole Proprietors,
The Pain Killer will be put up in anew styie of panel bot
tle, with tiie words
DAVIS’ VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER,
blown in the Glass. We liave discontinued the use of
the o7}.j cent bottles and now put. up only four B ize.
viz— cents, ‘2o cents, 50 cents, ar.d sl, per bottle
We have also a very fine Engraving on t* tone, for the P.ox
labels, specr\ihg the ccrtcms of the box, wl.ure and by
whom manufactured, k-c. We have also added to our Parn
phetof direction? and cenificftes, a cover beautifully finish
ed, presenting on the first page a very excellent likeness of
Perry Davis, the original inventor of the Pain Killer. The
bottle labels, and one label on e.nch box, has also a correct
likeness of Perry l)avis, which it will be impossible to couu- .
terfeit successfully.
We have been 10 this expense, that the public might have
perfect confidence that they wee getting the genuine article
when the} buy a bolt'e “as above described. To 1 hose who
have so hng used and proved the merits ol our article, we
would say that we shall continue to j>rej:are our Pain Killer
of th* best and purest materials, ’and that it shall be every
way worthy of their approbation as a family medicine.

l rankliii Uollogp—roinineneemeiil Exercises.
The number of College?, male and femme,in our State,
have so multiplied that Commencements are voted as de
-1 cidedly a lor?. As the interest begins to decline of course
the number attending diminish, and without a large num
lier of both student? and,visitors, Commencements dwindle i
to but little above school exhibitions.
In *f>3 your correspondent attended the Commencement
exercises oi the “State University,” and after expecting bis |
views of the advantages afforded, and the glaring deficten* I
eie?, owing to die parsimony ot our legislators, was most J
vociferously assailed, as decrying the institution and wil- j
fully misrepresenting its advantages. It was but'a few I
months] following, that an animated controversy sprung !
up, in the eastern portion of the State, upon this same 1
subject, and has been since so often referred to, that he I
jyoald he a partial and blind friend of the University, in- j
deed, who would not admit that the Stale does herself but j
little honor by pretending to keep Sup a University, when j
not a sufficient salary even is afforded to retain a prole-sor j
| of eminence in the most important department— to say j
i nothing of the facilities, or want of facilities rather, patent i
1 in almost every division.
I “It is in general more profitable to reckon up our deli- i
j ciencics than to boast, of our attainments.” This is verv
j mortifying to our vain natures but facta speak for
themselves very often, and like BaYtquo'a ghost, will \
not down at our bidding. So deplorably deficient has !
Franklin College become in ull the essentials to a College. J
—we say nothing a University — j
that the Alumni have been considering the scheme of ta
king the College off the hands of the Slate and themselves j
making an endowment which will give it a respectable l
j standing.
Patronage lias Iteen diminishing during the last few
; years; new Colleges are started in various parts of the |
j State; sectarian institutions upon small foundations, are j
! springing upevery where, while the entire number upon the J
j combined catalogue? would hardly supply a patronage sut- !
fieient to sustain one good University or College even.— j
j The thing has almost become a “farce. The whole of
j them are beggars, and annually the charity-box is banded
I round to sustain our College—for our people, of our
J churches, or, our section. It seems a futile task toattempt
j an arrest of the evil, but wo will soon feel it, in superficial
acquirements, loose mental discipline, and decaying es-
I tablishmentfl.
It is hardly worth while to particularize as to the exer
| cises of last week. We did not reach Athens in time for
; the Sophomore Prize declamation. The Junior Exhibi
j tkm was highly creditable throughout. The graduating
: Class did not do so well—although there.were several who
| delivered very handsome addresses. It would be unfair ,
jto discriminate; so the young gentlemen will but remeni- ‘
| bor that the day of graduation is the least, not the most ■
j important day, as most are disposed to esteem it, of their j
| active manhood’s life, ‘i heir life of real labor ha? but just t
1 begun. Let them look onward then to future achieve- :
| meets, nor linger idly over the past, let its achievements j
| be what they may.
Much of the beauty and fashion of Athens and parts of I
the State were present, and the refined hospitality of the ;
1 1 . . |
i citizens will ever be an inducement for a visit, even though 1
: no attractions should exist at the University.
Appended you have a sketch of the proceedings.

Castle Rock, Dads. Cos. Ga., July 31,1855.
‘Messrs. Editors: —ln a former communication I allud
ed to some of the advantages of this portion of our State,
and, among other tilings, adverted to itscoal fields. Allow
into to enlarge. Although coal is found there in great a
; bun dance, its value depends very much on its accessibility
j and the facility with which it may be conveyed to the rai!-
| road. As it is an article of* great bulk and weight and the
country is mountainous, the cost of transporting it to the
I road is one of the heaviest sjterns of expense connected
with the business; consequently4he beds near a line of rail
i road, possess n decided advantage over those that are more
j distant. The Castle Rock Mining Company, when they
• build their railroad, (which can be done for a small amount
j ol money) will be able to deliver coal on the Nashville &
j Chattanooga road ala comparatively trifling cost. The
• process of extracting this valuable mineral is cheap and
simple. The miner equipped with ar steel pick, which lie
| can easily wield with one hand, two or three iron Wedges
and a sledgehammer, is prepared to commence operations.
A tunnel i.s opened ten or fifteen feet in width. By digging
two or tnree feet in a horizontal direction and removing
the slate, and then cutting ehainbersin a perpendicular direc
tion, the coal is e#-ilv detached by driving wedges above,
aud tumbles down in large masses. There is a stratum
of slate above and below the coal which must be separa
j ted from the pure article or it will injuredhe sale. In some
| mines prop-timbers are necessary to prevent the superin
j cumbent mass of slate aud earth from falling and endati
! gering the life of theminer. Al this place the coal is ov
■ erlaid with rock, making a strong and substantial roof
j which needs no props to support it. A good collier can,
! with moderate work, dig one hundred bushels per day, de
j pending on the thickness of tho bed. The principal mar
kets for the coal of this region are Nashville, Tennessee,
Huntsville, Ala., Atlanta, Macon and Augusta of this
| State, and if freights will justify it, it may be sent to your
! city. ‘Die comumption of it m this State is rapidly in
! creasing and will probably continue to increase. I have
been informed that Major Mark A. Cooper uses 400 bush
els per clay at his Iron Works on the E’owah, and as Iron
is found in this county, it is not improbable that, at some
future day, iron works may be established near tlie coal ie
gion.
The developments of these great elements of the, wealth
of our State should enlist the pride and interest of ev
ery Georgian. Although agriculture is the main source of
our wealth and the leading pursuit of our people, a diver
sion of a portion of our capital and labor into other chan
nels of industry, would, it is believed, result in individual
profit and the general good. What would Pennsylvania
be without her coal aud her iron? Notwithstanding the
fertility of her soil, the abundance of her pro
ductions/her coal and her iron control a large portion of
her wealth, and contribute in no small degree to give her
that commanding position which she enjoys among the
States of this great confederacy. Perhaps no State in the
Union i.s richer in minerals or is more favorably located •
for mining purposes than our own. Gold, copper and coal
are ail found within our borders, and these valuable mine
rals, when properly developed, will greatly increase our
property and independence. The capacity of a mining
country to produce the leading aricles ot food necessary to
the maintenance of those engaged in mining operations is
an advantage of no small importance. We have in this
section this advantage in an eminent degree. All the ce
reals grow here in Egyptian abundance, and clover and
the grasses would, I have no doubt, flourish well It is a
tine region for raising stock of all kinds. Cattle require
some attention in winter, but in the summer season they
keep fat on the range and yield an abundance of rich milk.
Though 1 cannot say with Job that “1 have washed my
steps with butter/’I can say that I have never seen it in
greater quantity, nor of better quality than 1 have found on
this mountain. Georgia has in her soil, climate and pro
ductions, (agricultural and mineral) all the elements of
wealth, independence jyid happinesss, and if we rightly
improve the blessings which a benifieent Providence has
bestowed upon us, we may not only continue to be the
empire State of the South, but we j may rival the empire
State ol the Union. * E.
Mr. Barringer’s Letter.
Here is the finale of the vamped up story of what Mr.
Barringer said about the Pope’s Nuncio. How will Dr Mil
ler and those who endeavored to make capital out of the
shameless story feel when they rend it, we leave them to
tell the people when they next appear upon the stump to in- 1
struct them. We hope our anti-Know Nothing speakers
will call them out to explain. It appears in lire American
Organ published at Washington City.
Saratoga, July 23, 1855.
Dear Sir: 1 did not receive till last evening your note
of the 13th instant, addressed to me at Baltimore, and cov
ering your card to the public in which reference is made
to a conversation between the Nuncio of the Pope at Ma- {
drid and myself, about the appointment of Mr. Campbell i
as a member of the present Cabinet at Washington. 11l
had sooner seen or heard of the contents of your card J i
should have deemed it my duty to reply at once to that |
portion of it which refers to myself ami to this matter.
You are mistaken as to the purport of the remarks made
to me by the representative of the Pope at Madrid.lt,was not
that,he knew beforehand that Mr. Campbell would be ap- c
pointed, as a memberof the Catholic Church or that it was ;
actually made. What f havesaid, and what I repeat is, that (
before I had any certain news ot tho formation ot the Cab- j
incl,and while its constitution was still in doubt, and trie J
subject of conjecture in the public mind at Madrid, he told 1
me that Mr. Campbell was appointed, and that he was a 1
Catholic; which was the fir.-t information I bad of either 1
Fact. i
I did not at all suppose that be had any previous knowl
edge of an intention to appoint this gentleman to office, or
that he knew, <>r had any reason to believe it was done, in
pursuance of any bargain or intrigue to this effect, on the (
part of any persons whatsoever.
The inference 1 made was, that the appointment of a i
Catholic to this high office, being naturally, a cause of |
much interest and satisfaction to the church of that laith, .
especial pains had been taken in some quarter, to com
municate the ear heat intelligence of that fact to the lead- !
mg members of the Catholic priesthood.
It is proper to add that, having seen in a Kaliegh paper a (
brief, and what appeared to be an imperfect report of the
fneech recently made in Washington by the Hon. Kenneth
Kuyner/in which there occurred u similar statement,though
somewhat different in detail from that contained in your
card, and in w hich my name was quoted as authority, 1 i
took the earliest opportunity, on theCth instant, to write }
Inin a note f<-r the purpose of correcting the erroneous im
pressions which might so readily be made on the public I
mind, however unintentionally, from such a reference to a j .
casual conversation in social intercourse, without a written ! ,
riatemenl of the facts.

The Stephens’ Dinner.
The Hon. A 11. Stephens addressed the citizens of 1
Augusta, at the City Ilall, yesterday, according to aj>- |
poin'ment,and delivered one of the timet tloquc.uv and
irgumcntive speeches it has ever been our pleasure to lis’
ten to. We will not attempt to give an outline of it, as i
we hope it will be published in lull. Should it be. it will
ufford us pleasure to lay it before our readers. \Ve con
sider it one of his greatest, efforts. There w:. no rant,
no clap trap, no appeal to the passiona—but a compact
structure ot unanswerable argument from beginning to
end.
We have seen numerous assemblages under the old
Oaks in our City Had Park, but never before have we
seen so many of the fair sx, or a larger number of the
sterner, assembled to lisen to a political speech. He oc
cupied over two hours in its delivery, but when he con
cluded, aud it was announced that dinner was ready,
but few could realize the period of time which had elapsed
from the beginning to the conclusion of the address of the
able speaker.
After Mr. Stephens hid concluded, the assemblage
broke up, and repaired to the Waynesboro’ Railroad De
pot. where a sumptuous barbecue was served up, under
the direction of Mr. D. Kirkpatrick, which, not Withstand’
ing the large concourse present, was ample, well season
ed, well cooked, and gave satisfaction to all who parlo< k.
Mr. John Bones presided at the table and did the honors
in capital style.
It was gratifying to see so large a number of ladies
present at the dinner. Many of our fairest belles and
most respected matrons graced the occasion with their
presence.
After the dinner was over, the large assemblage was
addressed by Messrs. W. A. Owens, of Barnwell, James
Gardner, J. G. McHenry, A. J. Miller. J. J, Martin, J.
W. Duncan, of Millcdgeville, and in conclusion, on a
complimentary toast being given, by the Hon. A. 11.

of a train on our railroad discovered an Irishman in a
car soon alter starting from Rome, and demanded his
fare. Rat declared he had no money. The conductor,
alter lecturing him, told him to leave at the first st’ iiging
place not far distant. Accordingly Rat was one of the
fust to get off at the next station. Hut judge of the con
ductor's surprise and v rath to find him aboard when lair
ly on the way “Did I not tell you lo get off ?"—“And
sure I did.” “Why, then, are you here again ?” “And
sure did you not say ‘all aboard V ” This was too much
for the worthy conductor, and notwithstanding the de
cree against “dead heads,” he was allowed to pass.—

Know iYotliinsbni is Civil War.
The Atlanta Intelligencer gives the following mel
ancholy account of a Know Nothing mass meeting re
cently held at Cartersville, Ga.:
VVo call again upon the people of Georgia to be warned
in lime aud to mark well that Know Notbingism is civil
war. As wv alighted from the cars the very fii&t sight
lhai arrested our .-mention whs a man .stabbed and dripping
wini gOi> —a horrid tight. With our own eyes-, while wait
ing tor :be drpar tme ofdnr train, we saw; five rencounters, *
and we were told by one well posted on the combats of the
day that there were at least twenty fights in Uartersville
Wednesday. A poor old fellow, who sang out that lie was
“a ’7O Democrat” got his quietus by a blow on the head
and was walked over for four hours by the crowd like a
dead dog. We saw two men leap from a door, one literal
ly wearing a mask of blood, aud the other with tlie top of
his bead apparently knocked in. In an instant a pistol fired
and down dropp-da Herculean frame as dead apparently .
as powder and lead could make any living ile?h. vv e have
-eeu mcch ol our country in all the phases of our society,
lr. :n the Roanoke to the Brazos, but never before have we
witnessed such rage, such panting fora chance to do evii,
such lawless and uncurbed outrages on the peace and lives .
■ I men us,>ve witnessed Wednesday. Alen with guns, men
wiih drawn swords, with side arms, with blugdeons,
seemed to be possessed by the demon of slaughter and to
be raving mad in their pursuit alter blood. Dr. Miiler ask
‘u from the stand, why was all this violence in thefte latter
days ! and he seemed to wish to turn ii to account for his
party. Ihe blame is not with any old political organiza
tion that exists now, or ever did exist in this country be-
Joro. But it springs directly from this unholy war ou meij
simply because they dare to vote their own way and from
tins crusade against a religion that thousands of American
citizens pm less. It all cornea from the palpable, stunning
tact, that Know Fothingism is civil irar.
A Northern Measure.
The Courier and Enquirer knowingly n lters what is
n;t true when it asserts that “the Missouri Compromise’’
w\s “repealed by Southern votes. ,
i lie repeal ol tne Missouri line was first proposed in
Northern newspapers, was advocated by Northern men
and passed by .Northern votes. No Southern press sug
gested or demanded it, till Northern statesmen had laid
down the rule of national policy under which its repeal
was demanded and effected. The effort of the editor of *
the Courier to make believe that‘ the .South”—a mi
nority of both Ileuses of Congress— ‘brought about the
abrogation of that mischievous sectional line drawn across
tlie face of the country, will be fruitless. The honor (or
infamy, il the Courier pleases,) belongs to the National
I lemoeraey of the North—to Douglas, Cass, Dodge, and
oth. r Democrats. To them be all honor. Tbe day' will
.come when those who sustained the repeal i lf that geo
graphical boundary, drawn across our common country,
wid be fawiied upon by the d* inogogues who defame them
now ! New York Daily News .

of road should cross the Savauah river, at or above Bull
Sluice, and that there should be no connection with tlie
S.C. Railroad, at any point without the limits of Au

vention, who afterwards resolved that tbe surveys and
location should be continued, and pledges were given that
the present subscription to the stock should be doubled
and the road built any how. ‘ ■
Whom do you jin J there after you get in ? - Many
Many Democrats are inveigled into the Know Nothing
order expecting to find its membeship composed of the
honest politicians and patriotic men, who love their coun
try, and sincerely want to inculcate political’ virture and
elevate the standard qualifications for official stations. Wo
want simply to enquire of these credulous Democrats
what kind of men the/ find directing tbe affairs of tlie
secret oath bound inquistorial oligarchy, alter they “tt in
to it ? Are they not the same scheming demagogues, par
ty hacks, and political gamblers, who have figured in all
the conventions and caucuses of either party for years ?
By wliat process have tlicv been changed into honest
and patriotic politicians ?—Rome Southerner.

Repudiation in Kentucky. —lion. J. J. Crittenden
of Kentucky, also repudiates the Catholic plank in the
platform. In a speech which he lately made at Frank
fort. as r ported in tho Commonwealth',’ lie said : V
‘’Upon the Catholic question, Mr. Crittenden declared

hiltli District of Mississippi, and accepts on the condi
tion that he shall ba understood to advocate the follow
ing policy of government, viz: Resistance to all

proper means by the government of the diffusion of
American republican principles in the gradual absorp

Liquor Law in Connecticut—lncrease of Dmnkmtiess.
Probably ihere, is more intoxicating bquor^retailed in
Hartford at this time than ever before, and evidently there
is more dnmkenuess.- A stringent law will not make men
moral or temperate. The liquor generally used at this time
is said to lie a very diletorious article, and is doing tnqcii
harm. A laborer remarked the present week to ©pf of onr
merchant?, that he knew of twenty-three places on o:,e
short street where liquor.- were fold. The town rum agen
cy i? also iff full blast, dealing out la,rge quantities. Ciub
rooms have multiplied to a fearful extent, and hundreds of
famiies i:i which liquor was unknown before August last
now keep a variety and ask their friends to drink. This
one feature alone i? doing incalculable mischief. Tho fa
shion of keeping liquors upon the family sideboard is fast
coming into use, aud its evils are as great as those of ffi e
rum shop. The liquor law is tlie parent of that evil.
