fine of twenty five doliars, and to undergo an imprison
ment in the county jail for the term of one year. Os the j
guilt of the parties there can bo no question, aud we feel (
quite sure that, when the enormity ot the offence isconsid- !
ered, all good citizens will unite in commending the ac- ;
tiou of the court in thus sternly vindicating the majesty of j
the laws and the sanctity of the ballot box.— Washington |

Sales of Lands on the Mobile Sp Ohio Railroad.
—The Mobile Advertiser says that the Executive Com
mittee of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company re
turn-d to that city recently, having completed the sales
of public lands as previously advertised. The proceeds
oi these sales amounted to some $45,000, and the price
obtained ranged from $5 to $8 per acre. The attend
ance at the several points of sale, says the Advertiser,
was pretty good, and considerable interest was mani
fested. But lor the stringent terms of the sale, requi
ring one-third of the purchase money to be paid down
ui once, the bidding would have been more spirited, and I
the sales probably much larger. The Committee,
however, have acquired much valuable information
concerning these lands, and find them more valuable
than was anticipated. Should the crops turn out well
ibis season, and the company hold another sale in the
fall, on rather more liberal terms, there is no doubt but
that very large sales might be effected at handsome
prices.
Small Pox again at Shelby Springs. —We stated
some two weeks ago there was a case of Small Pox at
Shelby Springs, we did so because we felt it due the
public from us a public Journalist, and not with a do
sire to injure the clever and worthy gentlemen who
have charge of the Springs. This statement was de
nied. We published the denial and felt gratified in be
lieving the denial was true. But it seerns we were
right in our statement then, and recent developments
have been made going to establish that fact. During
last week, there have been some three eases of sickness,
which have been pronounced Small Pox—one is that
of a white child of a Mr. Seal, and the other two are
negroes. Dr. I, Morgan, of this city who is at the
Springs, and has attended these cases, pronounced
them Small Pox, and thereupon those who were at the
Springs left for home, many of them fa mil n s ; so there
is no doubt now about the disease being at the Springs.
The people of Columbiana and Momevallo, we learn,
are uneasy about the matter.
We are glad to state that oqy authorities have taken
such steps as will probably prevent the introduction of
a case of the disei.se into our city.— Alabama Senti

The Railroad Connection .—The City Council
closing a contract agreed upon yesterday for uniting
the Georgia and South Carolina Railroads. The details
of the arrangement have not transpired, but the city is
to receive an annuity of $7,000 per annum, and the
business of Augusta is secured against discrimination
in freights.
We understand the connection will comprise a com
mon freight depot, where the two roads will receive
freight from different platforms—the local depot re
maining where it is. No change is to be effected in
the passenger depots, and freight cars will be taken
through the city by horses as heretofore.
We shall give the particulars as soon as they trans
pire, an*h in the meantime, we cordially congratulate
the friends of connection on the consummation of this
movement. Its effect will be felt in the activity it will
impart to our mechanical interests—in jhe increased
business it will induce to this p int, and in the security
it affords our merchants against dber mination in
freights—besides other advatages to which we may al
lude more at length hereafter. — Augusta Dispatch , \Hh.
Cupt. Dads’ Instructions. Commodore Mor vine, in
command of the U. S. naval force at Panama, it is now
stated, has no written instructions from the last adminis
tration to govern him in his conduct towards Walker and
the allies in Nicaragua. Capt. Davis,in forcing Walker to
capitulate aud abandon the country, acted or pretended to
act under instructions from the Commodore. These in
structions are as follows:
United States Flag Ship Independence,)
Bay of Panama, Jan. 19,1857. \
Sir : You will prepare the United Statesship St. Mary’s,
under your command, for sea, with all practicable despatch,
and, when ready, proceed to San Juan del Sur, Nicaiagua.
where the presence ot a man of-war is necessary in conse
quence of the unsettled state of public affairs.
The precarious and straitened condition ot the forees un
der Gen. Walker may induce him to attempt depredations
upon American citizens in that State, which you will pre
vent and restrain.
In the event of the expnlsion of Walker and his forces
from Nicaragua, by the allied armies, and his departure to
adjacent territory in Central America, tor the purpose ot
hostile and aggressive operations, you will take such tur
ther measure, with the force under your command, as cir
cumstances shall require for the adequate protection ot
American citizens.”
Jt is not possible by any construction of these instructions
lo justify the conduct of the Commander of the St. Marys.
The St. Nicholas Hotel Proprietors, having purchased
the property adjoining their immense establishment, have
now possession of the block through to Mercer street,' by
which they will be able to add a hundred more single
rooms to their accommodations. We notice by their card
in another column that they have not advanced the price
of board, but that it still remains at the former rates of
$2 50 per dem.— N. Y. Mirror.

A TORCH LIGHT PROCESSION.
Upon hearing of the nomination of Hod. Jos E. Brown, I
ire citizens ot Canton and of the vicinity of Cherokee co , |
irrts-peciive ot party names, assembled at the Court House j
<n Monday evening, to unite in he expression of their !
eon:.-ratutattoos at tlie result ti lire Democratic Conven- j
lion of Georgia in the nomination of their esteemed towns- |
man and tel low citizen as a candidate tor Governor.
The meeting Was organized by appointing J. L. Keith,
Esq., chaiiman,and F M. Cowen, sec'v.
The object of the meeting .being briefly explained by the
chairman, various gentlemen followed with expressions of
almost unbounded exultation, awakened by tin* intelli
gence that this honor was conferred on one whose quali
fications havo always enabled’ him to adorn the highest
position to which he has yet been called, and that will be
found sufficient for the high destiny that yet awaits him.
‘The meeting under the direction of Dr. J. M. Sessions,
as agreed upon, in torch light procession % marched in order
to the residence of Judge Brown, who, amidst vociferous
and repeated cheering, was informed by Maj A. H. Shu
iord,in appropriate terms ‘in behalf of the procession, of
their great gratification at the unsought honors tendered to
him by the Democracy of Georgia.
Judge Brown, m some brief appropriately ac
knowledged his obligations to the procession for the very
complimentary manner in w hich they had seen proper to
thus publicly notice his nomination, lie thanked them as
neighbors and friends for their manifestation of feeling in
his behalf. He was not insensible to the distinguished hon
or conferred upon him by the Democracy of Georgia, and
should long remember with gratitude this token of respect,
so enthusiastically tendered by his townsmen without re
speet to past party differences.
‘The procession returned in order to the Court House,
unwilling so soon to their great jollification, and
continued to a late hour to evidence their warmth and en
thusiasm by calling forth many happy and spirited eulo
gies on the life,character and abilities of their distinguish
ed nominee, which were received with long and enthusias
tic applause.
The meeting then adjourned

Democratic Nominee-
Milledgeville, July 1, 1857.
Dr. Andrews, Editor of the Georgia Citizen:
Dear Sir: —ln yourinotice of Judge Brown, the nomi
nee of the Democratic party of Georgia tor Governor, you
stated that he is a member of the Knights ot Jericho. 1
know nut whether you be correctly informed or nut. A\-
though I am not and never have been a member ot tire
Knights of Jericho or ot the Sons bl Temperance—nor
have 1 ever been a member of a Temperance Society, ex
cept for about two weeks, (and I quit because l lelt more
like taking a drink now and then whilst in than while 1
was oat,) still this representation ot Judge Brown would
only raise him in my estimation, provided he is not a one
idea man, and disposed to carry tilings too far. Desirous
of being correctly informed as to Judge Brown’s opinions
and views upon this subject, 1 have referred to the records
of the past, w hen he had the power to act, and i am happy
to say that he has shown himself altogether quite a s-en
>ible man upon the subject. Here 1 would take occasion
to say that from my examination of his antecedents and his
past record, 1 fully satisfied that the more his character
and conduct and ability are investigated and criticised, he
wiil rise higher and higher in the estimation of every man
in Georgia, and especially with the intelligent and con
servative portion of her people. Here I can but think
that before Judge Brown is entirely disconnected with this
’ Gubernatorial office, even hi. political opponents will feel
that, though they “never heard of him before,” “still he
ought to have been known” and it they be candid, they
will adrftit, if not say, that, “it would have been difficult
for the Democratic party to have nominated a better man
in any way lor this office.” But “time will tell” and
upon ims I confidently rely, to prove the truth of this
prediction.
But 1 am wandering from the subject and object of this
letter, return to it. I will therefore say: that as
you have announced Judge Brown as a member of the
Knights of Jericho, (and believing you will take pleasure
in placing his views upon the subject, of ‘Temperance before
the people) I send you the enclosed which can he found
on pages 234 and 235, Senate Journal, 1849 and ‘SO. Please
publish the same in connection with this communication,
and oblige,
Very respectfully, your oh’t serv’t.
“FAIR PLAY.”
In Senate, Saturday, December 15, 1849, Mr. Joseph
E. Brown made the following report, to-wit:
‘The Select Committee to whom was reierrred the bill
entitled an act to incorporate the Grand Division t the
“Sons of Temperance of the State ot Georgia,” beg leave
to report, that they have had the same under considera
tion, and tliat they are of opinion that the bill .ought not to
pass. Your committee belieye that the Sonsol Temper
ance are doing great good in Georgia, and that they have
the same right to ask tor and enjoy corporate privileges
that any other moral society has. But, your Committee, a
majority of whom are Sonsol Temperance, knowing the
great prejudice that exists in the State against the Order,
and feeling confident that the passage ot this bill or any
other of a similar character in relation to the Sons, would
only tend the more to inflame the public mind, feel it to
be u duty they owe to the Institution and the public to op
pose all manner of legislation upon the subject, ot Tempe*
ranee. Your Committee feel the mere confident that
they are correct in their position when they take into con
sideration the fact that the advocates of the Institution in
j Georgia have everywhere proclaimed to the people that
| the Sons intended in no case to ask the Legislature for
any legislative interference in their behalt. Your Corn”
miltee believed that those pledges were made in good
faith, and that portion of your Committee who are Sons,
and who feel bound by those pledges, are unwilling to vio
late them by voting for any bill proposing legislation on
this subject. Your committee would farther state that the
Sons have made almost unparalleled progress in ‘the State
of Georgia without legislation and without corporate priv
ileges. And your Committee believe that the true policy
of The Institution fe to depend tor its success upon its inhe
rent moral influence, anti carefully avoid every and all
manner of attempt at legislation on the subject of Tempe
rance.
Mr. Joseph E. Brown moved to agree to the report, on
which motion the yeas and nays were required to be re
corded, and are—yeas 32, nays none.
Those who voted in the affirmative, are Messrs. Ander

Eon. Hiram Warner’s Letter of Declension.
‘To the Democratic Delegates of the Fourth Con
gressional District in Convention Assembled :
It is doubtless wdl known to most of you, with what
reluctance my consent was obtained, to become a candi
date for Congress at the last election. The threatening
aspect of the political horizon at that tone, the existence
in our midst ot a scored oath bound political organiza
tion. intent ah ne on clutching political power from the
bauds of the people, for their own st itisli purposes, seem
ed to require, that every man, howevei humble be might
be, should contribute his time, and best iuoividual exer
tions, to endeavor to avert the impending mischief, with’
out regard to mere personal considerations , besides, my
political friends urged upon me the necessity, ot permit
ting ;ny name to be used in that canvass, giving reasons
therefor, which could not, with propriety, be resisted on
my part, and thereby, obtained my consent to accept the
nomination.
My personal wishes as well as my private interests,
wvi\ v elded at the request of my political friends, and
my poor services were embarked in their cause and in dts
i< n•. of the Constitution ot our common country. The
i, salt of that bitter, vindictive, and proseliptive contest,
as i . iiducted by our political adversaries, is well known,
and may properly be attributed to the constitutional fidel
ity, ; ud patriotism of the people of tiie district, rather than
to any personal merit of my own. Know Noihingism
was defeated where ii was must rampant, and boastful of
success
If tlie same necessity <-xfeud now, ns then, for my be
ing a candidate, if tli result of a political contest in the
District, was now as then, doubtful, the same personal
sacrifices, now, as then, would be willingly and cheerfully
mad--, but fortunately for the country, no such necessi
ty now exists ; the .-oh r s o<nd thought ot the people
has returned ; Know Nothmgiam lias been unmasked
and exposed in all i; deformity and depravity, and as a
political organization, will henceforth Jjs remembered to
be condemned and avoided, not only by all good men,
but even those who sought to avail themselves of its oath
b>und machinery and secret mummery, to control the
frtv suffrages of an eniighn and and patrioticpc4. In ad
ditiozi to iho reaction which has taken place in the Dis
trict in i'avur of the Democratic party since the last Con
gressional election, the county of Carroll has been attach
ed o the District, with her reliable, unterrified Demo
cratic majority, which places the election el the Demo
critic candidate who may receive the nomiuati .nos the
Convention, beyond all doubt, or controversy. In view
of these facts, as Well as for personal and pr-vate con
siderations, (which the public have no interest in know
ing in detail) Ido hereby, most icsp-.eUuliy, but positively
ami unequivocally, decline a .nomination for Congress at
the next election. Ibis step is more readily taken, inas
much as the public interest cannot possibly sufiVr any
ioss or injury, by my retiremen , but, <m the contrary,
will be greatly benefited by procuring the services of a
nmre competent man to represent, and maintain, the great
and growing interests of our State.

In surrendering into your hands that banner, eve

President McCay Vindicated.
[communicated ]
Mr. Editor : Wi.l you show jm -par.- in your col
umns to give h brief see-*tint <>! the n-c.-ut <1 ttfeuities i
the Souih Carolina College ! Apart tr. rn general inter*
est attached to such matter-, it is a subject of in
terest to Geuigipns, iuastnu -h s i involve- a gentleuiau
long connected with ihe educational interests of their
State, aud ot whom they afe justly proud. Some weeks
previous to the publicity if tlie troubles in the college,
some of the students had disturbed the religious service
in the Chapel oti Sabbath, by applauding the Chaplain.—
Oncol the pr>,lessors seated in the gailery above them,
thought it was produced by one of three members ot
the Junior elites. Upon bis report, these three were call
ed before the Faculty, aud required to state their guilt
or innocence Thinking the t valence against them too
slight, (I rit w; vague) the young no n refused to an
swer. and were suspended under a law of the college,
requiring any on- present at ih- time and place of a dis
turbance, to give evidence if cal .ed Upon. So high fe
the confidence reposed in the honor of the you g men,
tha* they are at once acquitted, if they declare their in
nocen e. Their classmates, over 60 m number, believing
the evidence on which these thr e had been called tie
lore the faculty was t- n vague, presented a petition for the
restoration ot the three suspended students. In the mean
time, it was iusnored in the campus that the applaUvhng
was a thoughtless act, ar sing from a habit of the students
of applauding the young men wh- dtclaimed daily in ihe
same building, before hem, and that n disrespect had
been intended, either to i) e religious service or tbe wor
thy chaplain. The Faculty heard, moreover, that the
students gen rally disapproved <>! the act, and frowned
upon it : there was, therefore, lit do likelihood of its tejv
etition. Under these circumstances, together, with the
fact that three had he n punished tor the guilt of one. the
Faculty would have found no difficuhv n restoring the
three, If the p.-tition had tuvn based on ihe-e facts But
they hat founded tfoir paitfon <miv on t he ground of u< .
slight ev.deuce, and insisted, Trough their committee of
three, upon making an issim with the Faculty upon this
point only. The truth was, they wet. unwilling to be
governed by a law which subjected tie m to discipline up*
on suspicion, merely. S-veral i as-.n. disposed the Fac
ulty to leniency, but to have granted ilu- petition on the
grounds taken by the committee, would have been to
condemn the law and stultify them.-Jve.M The Presi
dent, to meet the difficulty in the ease, offered a resolu
tion to the Faculty, restoring the young men for several
reasons, among others, the two rumors cited, the thought
lessness of tin* act and the disapproval -f it by the class.
It was objected that tht-* w* re nine rumors, and, ah
though the Faculty believed ihnn urn-, were too uncer
tain a basis lor action. The President gave his reasons
lor believing the rumors, aud among others, I e stated
that o?:* of the committee of the class bad informed the
Faculty that he believed the class disapproved ol the act,
and that tlie same person had n Id him that he had heard
that the applause was an act of thoughtlessness ; that
another nit mber of the commit?* e had informed him
that the class disapproved of the aet. 1 was objected
that this was eommunievu and m the President only pri
vately aid confidentially, and not officially. He replied
that “he made it official” ’ibis remark of the Piesi
deut was understood differently by different members es
the Faculty ; some understood that th e conversation was
made official, others that the two facts mentioned were
made official , tbe meaning of tlie President being that
he made the conversation official, in oilier words, took
the responsibility upon himself < t giving as much weight
to the private ct>nv-rsalien ol ;!. • two members of tbe
committee, as and they had been official communications,
hut did not give it as <*. rning officially from the class.
In the course o! three or four weeks, in some unknown
way, the students under.-tood that the President had
communicated the two f cts to the Faculty, as coming
• fiieial'y from the committee. The committee, (Mended
because they had refused permission to the President to
make such a communication officially from than, called
on him for an explanation. He denied having eoinmu*
nieated anything of that nature as corning off dally from
the committee or the class, telling them he had only giv
en the Faculty the individual opinions ol the members
of the committee and their impressions, of the feeling
ol the class in reference to the act. The committee,
however, having, as they believed, the testimony of two
of the Faculty, against this statement of the President,
were dissatisfied, and became more and more so, as they
learned that the Faculty were divided and opposed to
the President. Reports of things said and heard pass
ing through many individuals, mad** matters worse and
worse. The Faculty were opposed to the President and
would not sustain him. The class refused to attend the
President’s recitations and the Faculty tefuted to punish
them. Some of them entertaining personal ill will to
wards the President, instead ol allaying tlie excitement
among tbe students, oil the contrary encouraged ii.--
They applied to the Governor so call a meeting of the
Trustees. The President, in the mean time, called a
meeting of the Trustees, ami placed his resignation in
the hands >f one of their liumWi. lie made a rej ort to
them in which he attributed the disturbance in the Cos!
lege, to the Faculty. They likewise made a report to
tlie Board of Trustees. After healing both parties, the
Trustees passed a resolutions acquitting all ol any charges
touching their honor and integrity, and requesting the
Professors to resign. They then proceeded to re-organ
ize the Faculty. The President positively declined any
place in the new Faculty ; two of his friends were re
elected, and one of his opponents, the latter by a majori
ty of only one vote. Tbe remaining Professors were ei
ther superseded or their places left vacant.
Thus have we stated the facts ; to any one giving the
matter the most careless attention, it will be obvious that
there was an Hurt on the part of the Faculty to injure
tlie President—allow ing that some of the Professors hon
estly misunderstood the President, they were in honor
bound when he gave his own version, which was corrob
orated by two of the Professors who heard his remarks,
to acknowledge the possibility of their mistake, and en*
Jt*av vto allay the excitement among the students. In
stead of this they fomented the difficulty, it would seem,
to gratify their own malignant feelings against President
McCay. Unfortunately for them, the blow recoiled with
doable force on their own heads Four of them lost their
berths in the College, very much against their inclina
tions; while President .VfoCay was completely and tri
umphantly vindicated by the Trus ees, and having the
entire sympathy of an unprejudiced pubic, inasmuch tv
all his trouble arose from his efforts to s* cure order and
good feeling in the College, Mid not. from personal, or
selfish motives. His administration ol the College has
been highly successful, eliciting very high compliments
from many distinguished Trustees at the i st commence
ment. In his case it was a task requiring no ordinary
skill, inasmuch as there was a violent personal opposition
to him, originated by candidates defeated at tlie time of
his election, and which, in sbme form <*r other, has con
tinued ever since. We regret, for the cause of education,
that he has retired from a.post for which hie high order
of talents o eminently qualified him We fear his place
will not be easily fiiied. X.
Affiay and Homicide in Americus —A terrible affray
occurred yesterday, in Americus, between sundry persons
on the one side, and Harvey W Shaw and Win. Shaw,
on the other, which resulted in the death of Harvey W.
Shaw, and the shooting of Wm. Shaw in two or three
places, though not fatally. The difficulty grew out of an
assault, made tlie day previous, at the Americus Depot, by
H. W. Shaw, on Charles W. Hancock, Esq., who was
about to leave for the Milledgeville Convention of to-day.
Hancock was suddenly collared and thrown over tlie Rail
road track and very much bruised, clothes torn, &.c, He
therefore returned home, and it is said, himself and friends
armed themselves to meet the Shaw party, also armrd lor
conflict. Dnriug the day Shaw was arraigned before the
Mayor ana fined S2O and costs, for the offence committed,
which was paid, when on leaving the Court-house, Han
cock met Shaw and commenced a verbal assault upon the
latter. At this moment a pistol or gun shot was fired by
some unknown person, and Shaw escaped to his house,
followed by an excited crowd, when about a dozen shots
were fired with the result staled.
Mrs. H. W. Shaw, during the melee, rushed into the
street and fired three discharges with a revolver at Mr. Me
Bain, without doing any damage. When her husband fell,
saying he was a dead man and asking for his children, Mrs.
S. fainted and was in a very critical condition, when the
train left at 2P. M. Yesterday. Two negroes, Litt Young
and Allen, both well known in this city, have been arrest
ed and lodged in jail, on a charge of shooting from Shaw’s
House, during the fight. They were in the service of Shaw.
This is the substance of the information received by us, and
may not be entirely accurate in details. We shall probably
be able, to morrow, to give further particulars.
We understand that the assault of Shaw on Hancock
arose out of some remarks of the latter, in defence of a
German before the Mavorjor a misdemeanor of some sort,
impeaching the credibility of Shaw, the witness against the
accused.

—A ugusta Despatch.
Jamaica Calls for the Re Establishment of Slavery. —
It would seem to require little intelligence to see that the
emancipation of the negros in the West Indies has been a
miserable failure We have had many indications of late
which tell us that this opinion is beginning to prevail where
it may do some good. And the following extract horn an
article in the Jamaica Journal, brought by the latest arrival
from that Island, June 11th, openly advocates the re-estab
lishment of slave labor. Its meaning is plaiu and unmis
takable :
What needs there to be a better proof that slave labor is
more profitable than free labor, than the example of Cuba l
Look at the value of real estate there—compare it with
that of freeholds in Jamaica Why, the price paid for one
single estate there is X‘Boo,ooo. This is the condition of
Cuba under tlie slave system Now, look at Jamaica un
der the tree What has been the result ? Why, the price
of real estate fell to nothing , after it could not be sold ,
and when a sale was made, the land was actually given
away— the price paid for a freehold not more than eqaal
ling the value ot its live and dead stock. Bear in mind,
that previous to free labor, Jamaica was as prosperous as
Cuba—land ruled high—estates flourished, and ail the
wide spread ruin we now see has been subsequent to eman
cipation.
This manner of thinking has doubtless beeu brought
about by the increased demand for sugar and tropical pro
ducts ; indeed, the same paper says that attention has been
directed to the cultivation of the cane, by the high prices
now ruling.
‘Phis feeling has not been confined to individuals. There
was a good deal of excitement among the people concern
ing the necessity for a supply of slave labor iu some shape:
and the Kingston Standard has been writing a series of
vdiiorials upon the subject. The St a ndard however pre
fers the Coolie system, and in its issue of the 11th of June,
**y* :
1 he inhabitants of Demerara have petitioned Parliament
lor laborers. They affirm that were population adequate
to the agricultural capabilities of the. colony , there is
scarcely a Limit to the extent to which cotton might be
produced ; bur they show that the present population is not
more than adequate to the actual cultivation of the ooun
try ; and that if cotton production to a large extent is to
be entered upon, a large addition of laboring people is ah
solutely necessary.
He adds:—lf we had a million of souls in Jamaica, in
stead oi some three hut dred and fifty thousand, we believe
that there is scarcely a limit to the value that might be
ascribed to iis productive industry. Manchester might be
relieved of all dependence upon the Southern States of
America.
In ihe same paper, of Juno 2, we find the following:—lt
has been said, and truly said, that many of the estates that
have been abandoned since 1838, were estates that, but for
the existence of slavery when they were first settled, never
would have been established at all. If we go to India and
“upply ourselves with Asiatic labor, an outcry is raised
against the introduction of Pagan superstition and of starv
ing indoleuee. If we claim to resort to Africa for a sup
ply oi that labor which is peculiarly adopted to the
growth of our staples, and to tlie severity of our climate,
we aie stigmatized as little better than slave traders in dis
guise.
On June 4 the writer remarks:—We all see how difficult
it is to obtain a supply of labor in Jamaica, iu point of
fact, but tor the fortuitous incidence of the late captured
slave cargo, we iiave nut received a single immigrant into
the island for several years. We iiave positive evidence
that Cuba is recruiting her population at the rate of from
twenty thousand to thirty thousand per annum, aud we
know that the people thus recruited are slaves, whose labor
is compulsory, yet we allow this monstrous competition to
goon.
The Standard, oi June 1, says:—'The New York papers
announce, on the authority of Messrs. Baring’s circular
that a further rise of two shillings per cwt. had taken place
in sugar, with a firm market. If England would insist on
putting down the trade, Cuba would be harmless in this
respect, but if she succeeds in procuring the seventy
thousand slaves Jor which provision is known to have
been aheady made , in the course of the present year ,
there can be no doubt that she may shortly exercise a very
impoitant influence on the sugar market.

Liberty Hill Academy-*Chattahoochee Cos. fin.
The third day 0| July was a glorious time for the citi
zensof Liberty Hill. Mr. and Mrs. Grubbs had a public
examination of their students on that day, to which a
great many went. Classes were examined in various
branches 1 One characteristic of the exercises was impar
tiality. The rapidity with which the boys and girls an
swered qoe-tions—the facility with which they solved
questions from the book, give ample proof the faithfhl train
ing, received from their very worthy instructors—that the
ground was well Grubbed. The exercises at night were
interesting and. instructive. Ihe young ladie9gave a con
cert; and indeed too much praise cannot be lavished upon
them for sweet singing and skillful playing. Music seem
ed to float upon every breeze and sparkle in every eye.
The original speeches from the boys were good, and
well delivered, would have done honor to older heads At
the conclusion of this, D. H. Burts, Esq., pi Cusseta, was
called on fora speech. We uunderstand this young gen
tleman is a lawyer; and from this specimen of eloquence,
we may reasonably hope for h:m a brilliant career in for
ensic distinction His ,-flbrt was extemporaneous, but
abounding in logic aud rhetorical flowers.
Mr. and Mrs Grubbs have, no doubt, given entire sat
isfaction, and we most cheerfully recommend their patrons
to give them that encouragement which is so necessary to
sustain a good school. Educate your children at home,
and liberally support your teachers. Liberty Hill is a
good neighborhood—composed of men who are proverbial
tor their hospitality, sobriety and intelligence.

The Committee appointed to draft resolutions expressive
ol the feelings of this Lodge, in regard to the death of
Samuel G. Dodson, made the following report, which
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, in the execution of life inscrutable designs, the
Grand Architect has again sent his messenger into our
midst, to bid one of the firmest pillars and noblest exem*
pliliers of the beauties of Masonry “child ‘of tlie dust,
dome away:”—the black drapery not lifted from our al
tar and jewels; the tear scarce dry upon the grave of a de
parted brother, ere w'e are summoned to perform the same
md rite iu masonry of another ! How solemn the moni
lion! How deeply impressed should we be! The belov
ed, faithful Samuel C‘. Dodson, in the vigor of meridian
life, and apparently the perfection of health, and in the
midst ol friends, was, on the morning of the 2d instant, ta
ken by the insatiate enemy ol life, and hie spirit carried to
the presence of the Majesty on high. We are bereft of
our brother, yet, this link of our dissevered chain is bril
liant in its ruin; and though no human hand can unite us
again, his masonic life is ours to admire and imitate.
Therefore Resolved, Tha in token of our respect for
his memory, we will inter his body with the ceremonies of
our order.
That we deeply regret and lament lire great affliction
that has lallen upon the family and friends of our departed
brother, and we hereby offer them our sympathy and con
dolence.
That we wear the usual badge of mourning thirty days,
and that the furniture and jewels of the Lodge l>e draped
in black for the same length of time.
That a page of the Records of this Lodge be inscribed
to the memory of the deceased, and that a copy ot this
preamble and resolutions be transmitted to his family
Resolved* That the foregoing be published in the Times
and Sentinel and the Columbus Enquirer, and the Masonic
Signet aud Journal, Marietta, Ga.

Hundreds of stimulents have been invented and sold,
purporting to be specific in the various diseases and dft”

to impart momentary activity to the inn vous system, and
fa be vigor to the muscles; but this relief has been succeed

the repeated attempts of invalids to build Themselves up
by these false remedies, have finally ended in destroying
what little vital organization was left. But in using Boer

I ms. T. & N. L GALLAWAY,
HAVE invented a medicated compound for the cure ol
all diseases ol the Skin and Hair, which they honor
with the name oft e GEORGIA ALOAHEST! A
menetrum long sought for and never obtained until now.
It is a remedy of tlie South, and we ask of the South a
fair trial ol its virtues and eflects on all the diseases we
claim lor it—as a specific. Each week brings us tidings ot
cures perfected by it, that exceed our most sanguine ex
pectations. It has no equal in preserving, restoring and
beautifying the hair; eradicating Scurf and Dandruff'; pre
venting Baldness and Grey Hairs; curing diseases of the
Skin. Glands and Muscles, Bruises, Cuts, Sprains, Stings
of insects, Irritation and Swelling caused by poisonous
plants, Erysipelas, Ringworms, Sealdhead Inflamed Skin,
Prickly heat. Pimples, Scrofula, Tettersin ail stages, Salt
Rheum, Sore Throat, Shingles, Rough Hands, Periodical
or Nervous Headache, Chapped Skin, Chilblains, and all
external inflammations. VVewill give a few vouchers to
what ii has done, and trust the Alcahest to herald its own
fame when used.

Drs. ’l'. 5> N. L. Gallaway —As you requested me to
state what time my hair began to fall off, I take pleasure
in saying to you that in 1852, my hair began to look dead
and fall off ; the surface of my head became an entire scuif
and aU my hair dropped olftiv the time 1 saw you in Geo
gia, 1855 The one bottle you sent to me while at my
sisters iMrs. McCurley’s) made a permanent cure of it.—
The Scurf arid Dandruff ail fell off or disappeared, the se
cond baihing, ai.u before I left Georgia my hair was four
or five inches long, and is this day as full and beautiful as
ever, and more soft and lively; every person that beholds it
thinks it oiled It has been over eighteen months since the
bottle of Alcahast g ive out. Ido wish that all, the afflic
ted would give it a tiial, as I had tried many remedies be
fore, from eminent physicians, all without effect.
JANE CARSON.
Georgia, Walton County.
We, whose names are undersigned, do certily that we
were witnesses to the above case, that it is true as Miss
Carson has staled, when she lelt here her hair was as beau
tiful and full,covering the whole head, as before diseased
and resembled silk velvet.

Drs T. N. L. Gallaway —My daughter, Mary Eliza
betti was attacked with a Tetter on her head. I applied to
three or lour eminent physicians, each application only ser
ved to aggravate it. She was so afflicted that sho was
compelled to sleep on her iace. Her hair had nearly all
fallen off. The one bottle of your Georgia Alcahest that
1 ; aid one dollar for, made a complete cure, and her hair
instantly commenced a fresh growth, and as soon as natu
ral laws would admit, she had a fine head of hair and is
now as lull and beautiful as ever; it has been well over two
years. You are at liberty to use this—as all my neighbors
will testify to the samel Yours truly,
FIELDING HAMILTON.

Dis. Gallaway .Son—My wile has been afflicted
with Chilblains all over her neck and shoulders, jo large
lump- under the skin, none of them ever running as com
mon biles, which threw her into a high lever, headache
Ac Hearing of your Georgia Alcahest, t procured
botlle, and to my great joy, it, in a very few days, yade a
cure, for which accept my best wishes for your success in
so valuable a remedy. 1 hear its fame spoken ot by every
person that uses it as a specifio for all the diseases you,say,
it will core. Yours truly,
