of compression at the Gin to a size suitable for shipment by
sea going vessels. The cost now for compressing is from
70 to 90 cents per bale, which indirectly comes out of the
planter. ‘Phis Press is durable, as all of its bearing and
straining parts are of Iron, simple and suitable for negro
management. We aie making arrangements to put up the
Pres* at all suitable points for inspection. For iurther in

A Medicine that never Debilitates!
DR. SAN D F ORD’S
INVIGORATOR,
OR LIVER REMEDY,
UAS ail the good quaiities of a Purgative metlicine, an
swering the purposes or .my Oatuartic without two .lo
bilitating effects from most purgatives, ft acts
slowly and gently, but surely, moving the bowels to carry off
all the secreted matter, at the same time stimulating the Liv
er tea proper performance ot its functions.
The l uvigorator cures Sick Headache. Take one or two tea
spoons ul at each attack and it will soon disappear For an
overloaded stomach,>• when food rises or sours, take the
I uvigorator after eating, and it wil noi prove disagreeable or
oppressive. For Heartburn, Palpitation, or Difficult Breath
ing, take a teaspoonful once or twice daily. For Loss ot Ap
petite, Languor or Listlessntss, the medicine is invaluable.—
It will restore the appetite and make the lood digest wdl.
Nightmare, take ateaspoontul on retiring, and th, demons
of dreamland will a! 1 be fairies. Alter eating a hearty din
ner, take a done ot i uvigorator aud it will relieve all oppres
sion cr fullness. The 1 uvigorator is a lively remedy of une
qualled virtue, acting directly on that organ, curing Dyspep
sia, Jaundice, rtiliious Attacks, Djsentery, Piles, Worms, and
all Feraa’eObstructions, for which it has no equal.
We know there is nothing now before the American pub
lic,prepared with such skill by a scientific man particularly
for diseases of tht Liver, as Dr. San lord’s Invigorator, or Liv
er Remedy. It has attained a reputation second to no oth
er article in the world, s mply because it rests upon its own
merit. To convince ail by trial that it is all its proprietors
claim it. to be, it any of our readereare suffering from such
diseases as are described in Dr. Sanford’s advertisement, we
know of no remedy that will so surelycure them as the In
vigorator.
There has lately been rougbt to our notice a medicine that
seems to possess wonderful, curative and healing properties
in diseases ol the Liver 8-omacb and Digestive Organs. It
came to us with so many testimonials in its favor that we
have noted its effects in some of the worst cases of continual
debility, caused by deranged Liver, and in every instance the
effect was to relieve or give a permanent cure. Dr. Sanford’s
invigorator or Liver Remedy lx what we refer to. We al
ways have been credulous about cures _by patent medicines
but we are convinced thatthis medicine, for famil / use,is not
over-rated by the host of recommendations it has. Our advice
is. r all troubled with Indigestion, Debility or Bowel Com
pla t, to get a bottle and try it; our word for it, relief .will
be perienced.
\ LB9SINOB to th* Invlids who use Dr. Sanford’s In
vig jrator. for it will relieve tht m of tneir pains as soon as it
is taken into their stomach. Pain and misery cannot exist
where the lovigorator is used, for it will as surely drive them
away, as daylight will banish darkness, of this there can be
no doubt to those who try it, for it carries conviction with
every dose taken. Another evidence is the thous nds of
certificates frjm those who use it or have been cured by It.—
I. y one bottle, if it does not benefit, ttacu we are mistaken.

J he Lemmon Slave Case.
VYf take the loilowiiig summary of the tacts of
this unporrant case from the Richmond South, ot
the Bih mst.
A case of considerable inter.-si tithe Stale ot
Virginia, and indeed to the people of the entire
South, is now under argument hetoie the Supreme
Court of New York. On the record its style is,
*• The ptopte ex ret. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte vs.
Jonathan Lemmon, appellant.” In point oi tact,
Virginia and New York are the parties al issue;
and the ease is prosecuted and defended in . bedi
ence to an act of the Legislature of both these
States.
It was in November 18£2, that Mr. and Mrs.
Lemmon, of Bath county, Virginia, touched at New
York, en route for Texas, where they prop, sed to
fix their residence. With them were eight slaves,
who were not taken into the city, but ti r security
were left in a vessel in the harbor. The Abolition
ists got information of the affair; a writ of habeas
corpus was sued out in behall of the negroes; the
causes of their detention wen- set lorth in the re
turn of the process: and Judge Paine decided, on
demurrer, that they were illegally held in custody.
Accordingly they were liberated, and hurried off to
Canada w ith the least possible delay. Mr. Lem
mon, however, was not particularly pleased with
this sort of treatment. As it was not his intention
to sojourn in New Y’ork longer than might be abso
lutely necessary to procure passage for Galves on,
I and; as he sciupulously abstained from any inde
cent exhibition of bis “chattels” befote the eyes of
susceptible Abolitionists, he naturally considered
himself the victim of a villanous conspiracy. He
was of opin on that the Constitution would protect
his propel ty in transitu from one part to another ol
the common country. In any event he thought
the comity which should prevail between confed
erate States would insure him reparation tor such
an act of robbery. With these simple ideas of
law and justice—the pardonable prejudices of a
slave-holding community—Mr. Lemmon resolved
to carry his case by regular gradation to the high
est judicial tribunal of the country. At this point
the Cftate ol Virginia interposed to assume Uie res
ponsibility and expense of a controversy which is
of no special interest to Mr. Lemmon, since his
slaves have escaped to Canada, but which involves
a principle of common concern to the people of the
South.
In all probability the Courts of New York will
justify the release of the slaves, but since the de
cision in the Dred Scott case we have a right to
expect another judgment from the Supreme Court
of the Cubed States. Even though the point now
in issue be not directly settled in the Dred Scott
case, about which different people entertain oppo
site opinions, the judgment ot the Court betrays a
spirit and promulgates principles which warrant
the conclusion that the robbery of Mr. Lemmon
will not receive the sanction of the highest judicial
tribunal. A writer in the North American Review,
maintains that, in the Dred Scott case, the Supreme
Court did not deny that the temporary sojourn of
a slave in u tree State effects his emancipation.
We hold a different opinion. In our judgment the
Chid Justice plainly decides that a mere passage
in transitu through a free State does not destroy
the relation of slavery; else we must understand
Him to maintain that in returning to a slave State
the liberated negro is reduced to his original con
dition. But, however that may be, we are not al
lowed to apprehend that the Supreme Court will
refuse to recognize the right of the citizens of the
South to travel with their property from one part to
another of the common countiy. This tribunal
will hardly decide that the guarantees of the Fed
eral Constitution may be annulled by an act of
State Legislation.
Extended Arrangements for Procuring European News
Mr. W. H. Pritchard, he Agent of the New York
Associated press, in this city, has communicated to
us the following arrangement, made by the Asso
ciation in New York, to obtain news from Europe
in advance ot ‘he arrival of steamers at Hallifaz,
St. Johns, or New York.
In consequence of the temporary failure ofthe
Atlantic Telegraph Cable, the New York Associa
ted Press have decided 10 employ a substantial
news Yacht at Newfoundland, for the purpose of
boarding, off Cape Race, ali the strainers from Liv
erpool, Southampton, Havre, Bremen, Glasgow,
&c. &c., and in this enterprise—so im ortam to the
whole public of the United States and British
American Provinces, we hope to receive the hearty
co-operation ot ali the owners and commanders of
tiie several steamship lines now established. If
the press should be seconded m tins arrangement
by the commanders of the steamers, there is no
reason to doubt but that we shall he able to obtain
the news from a large majority of the steamers
passing within ten or fifteen miles of Cape Race,
and by availing ourselves of the New York and
Newfoundland Telegraph Line, which is kept in
admirable order, we shall be able io spread the Eti
ropean news before our readers in about six or eight
days from the time it leaves the English shores.
The news Yacht—a substantial, well manned
schooner of about one hundred tons—will be sta
tioned ten miles due South of the Cape Race
light, and will carry a red flaz, with a black ball in
its centre. At night the yacht will display two
bold lights, and at short intervals will send up sky
rockets. Should the Yacht, from any temporary
cause, be removed from her regular station, as
above, commanders are, nevertheless, requested
to throw over the news parcel as near as possible
at the point indicated, in the hope that the same
may be subsequently picked up in season to make
the intelligence valuable to us.
This arrangement will involve very heavy ex
penditures, but the Associated Press cheerfully as
sume the burden, not doubting but that the public
will properly appreciate their efforts and sacrifices
to promote the interests of the commercial public
and pleasure of the general reader.—Constitution
alist.
Resignation ol Gen. Sanford.
Gen. VV. A. Sanford, recently elected Senator,
from the county of Baldwin, has declined, and will
not take his seat. His reasons are set forth in the
following card, which we copy from the Milledge
ville papers:
r J\- IhoVot or c tis liulelwtt* OounJy • *
I avail myself of the earliest opportunity to sur
render back into your hands the honor which you
were pleased, on Monday last, to confer upon me.
In taking this step I am but carrying into effect a
determination confidently expressed to a few
friends, some days previous to the election, if it
should, in despite tiie efforts which were being
made against me, result in my favor. The contin
gency which was to influence my action has hap
pened, and in view of all the circumstances attend
ing a very heated and extraordinary canvass, I feel
it due to rnyselt to adhere inflexibly, immovably
to that determination. The reasons which have
induced me to pursue this course, are personal,
perhaps even peculiar to myself—yet of a charac
ter sufficiently controlling, to prevent me from oc
cupying the seat to which you thought proper, by
your suffrages, to eievate me. Although born and
reared iu your county, it is well known to you that
my name has never before been submitted to your
consideration for legislative preferment—nor would
it ever have ever been, but for the purpose, which
overlooking the party issues of the day, contem
plated alone the protection and advancement of in
terests common to all. 1 shall not disguise the
fact that resenment for the flagrant injustice thus
done, had more to do in moving me from an early
and long rnaimained resolution than the desire or
ambition for mere place. In meeting and van
quishing the opponents of a measure so wise and
just in itself, I have accomplished all I designed to
do in the beginning. Mjdabor is finished, and my
service at an end. In rearing from, before enter
ing the Hall of your Legislature, it is a matter of
no ordinary gratification to know, in my honorable
colleague you have a representative of very deci
ded ability—industrious, energetic, and capable of
looking after your interests, however various or
important their character. Need I say, in this brief
notice of my purpose, that I thank you from the
very innermost core of my heart for the untiring
zeal and devoiion which you have displayed in my
behalf, from the beginning to the close of an unu-
sually close and exciting contest. 1 have, as yon
know, seconded your efforts with all the ardor and
earnestnessof my nature. I have accordingly can
vassed freely, and have not been wanting in the
hospitalities usual upon such occasions. I must
therefore frankly tell you, that both truth and holt
or forbid me to swear that I have not practised ei
ther in my election : and I flatter myself you will
not appreciate me less for being tender footed when
about to tread upon sacred ground.
J. W. A SANFORD.
Milledgeville, Oet 10th, 1857.
The Turn of Life.
Between the years of 40 and 60 a man who
has properly regulated himself may be considered
in the prime of life. His matured strength of con
stitution renders him almost impervious to the at
tacks of disease, and experience has given sound
ness to to his judgment. His mind is resolute, firm
and equal ; all his functions are in the highest or
der ; he assumes mastery over business ; builds
up a competence on the foundation he has formed
in early manhood, and through a period of life at
tended Hv many gratifications. Having gone a
year or two past 60, he arrives at a stand still.
But athwart, this is a viaduct called “The Turn of
Life,” which, if crossed in safety, leads to the val
ley of ‘‘old age,” round which the river winds, and
then beyond without a boat nr causeway to effect
its passage. The bridge is, however, constructed
of fragile materials, and it depends upon how it
is trodden, whether it bend or break. Gout, apo
plexy, are also in the vicinty to waylay the trav
eler, and thrust hint from the pass ; but let him
gird up his loins, and provide himself with a fitter
staff, and he may trudge in safety, with perfect
composure. To quit metaphor, “The Turn of
Life” is a turn either into a prolonged walk or into
the grave. The system and powers having reach
ed their utmost expansion, now begin to either
close like fiowers at sunset, or break down at once.
One injudicious stimulant, a single fatal excitement
may force it beyond its strength, while a careful
supply of props, and the withdrawal of all that
tends to force a plant, will sustain it in beauty and
vigor until night has entirely set in.— The Science
of Life by a Physician.
Magnanimity Extraordinary.
The New Orleans Crescent informs ::s that Mr.
Lefevre, a wealthy sugar planter at Lafourche,
died recently, without i.-sue—his wife having pre
ceded him to the grave. His estate was appraised
at about $700,000. A few days since his will was
opened, when it was found that he had left the
whole of his possessions to be divided equally be
tween two gentlemen ol New Orleans, one a neph
ew to his wife, and the other the broker who had
transacted his business in that city, a man in no
wise related to him save in the way of business.—
to the astonishment of h s friends, this broker, on
finding that be bad been made legatee to half the
old man’s estate, $350,000 at least,) went before a
notary public aud renounced the whole legacy,
making it over in favor ofthe relatives ofthe de
ceased in France, consisting of nephews and nieces,
to the number of twenty or thirty, and all humbly
situated in life. The old man had previously made
a will in which his French relatives were hand
somely remembered ; but on returning from a visit
to them, not long ago, for some reason known on
ly to himself, he tore the will to pieces and wrote
anew one, leaving everything to his wife’s neph
ew and his broker, as above stated.
The broker who so magnanimously renounced
his share of the estate, gave as his reason for so
doing, that he was already as rich as he wished to
be, and felt so independent that he did not wish it
to be in the power of any one to say that any part
of his fortune was not ofhfe own making.
Illegal Militaiy Expedition.
The following is the letter of instructions issued
by the Government, with a view to the enforce
ment of neutrality laws;
Department of State, J
Washington, Sept. 18, 1857. \
Silt: From information received at this Depart
ment, there is reason to believe that lawless per
sons are now engaged within the limits ofthe Uni
ted States, in setting on foot and preparing means
for military experiments, to be carried on against
tfie territories of Mexico, Nicaragua, and Costa
Rica, Republics with whom ihe United States are
at peace, in direct violation ofthe sixth section of
the act of Congress, approved 20tii April 1818;
and under the eight section of the said act it is
made lawful for the President, or such person as
he shall empower, to employ the land and naval
forces ol the United States, and the militia thereof,
“tor the purpose of preventing the carrying on of
any such expedition or enterprise from the Terri
turies or jurisdiction ot the United States.” lam
therefore directed by tiie President, to call your at
tention to the subject, and to urge you to use all due
diligence and to avail yourself of ah legitimate
means at your command to enforce these and all
other provisions of the said act of 20th April, 1818
against those who may be found engaged in set
ting on foot or preparing military expeditions a
gamst the territories ofMexico, Costa Rica, and of
Nicaragua, so manifestly prejudicial to the national
character, and so injurious to the national interest;
and you are also ffereby instructed promptly to
communicate to this Department the earliest infor
mation you may receive relative to such expedi
tious.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
(Signed) Lewis Cass.

and Naval and Military officers.]
Living Without Ealing. —Mr. J. L. Stud ard
sends to tiie Albany Journal the following remark
able case of a Mrs. Hays, of Horicon, Warren
county, New York, who is known in that section
as “the woman that lives without eating.” He
says:
As to tiie fact that she goes without eating, I
think after remaining with her 18 hours, there is no
doubt of it. The character of Mrs. Hays, and a
large number of other com letent witnesses, is
such as to make their statements worthy of con
fiHffieo—especially as they were given under oath.
I also think the condition she is in precludes the
idea if her eating.
She appears to be almost entirely unconscious
and is in almost continuous spasms of the most
horrid character. She has had long continued
spells of raising tier body up, and then throwing
herself back so as to strike the top of her head up
on the bed—thus bringing her face and feet so near
together as to form a semi-citcle with her body.
Sometimes her head has been drawn hack so that
the line of her face would be reversed and would
rest upon the pillow. Then she would straighten
out again, and there would be the most forcible agi
tation of her whole frame—a violent quiver a rapid
spasmodic action of every nerve and muscle, wiih
strangling and gasping for breath, like a person in
the last agonies of death. This strangling and
gasping is in consequence of suspended tespiration,
during the period Iter head is so forcibly drawn
back. At one time site remained imthatsutteition
20 minutes ; 12 minutes were the Ibngest&miforl’
was with her. I applied a looking-glass tolheD
face as a test, but could see no evidence of her
breathing. She does not now usually remain in
those peculiar spasms longer than from 3 to 5 min
utes. During a space of three weeks they estima
ted that she went through with these motions at
least once a minute on an average. One day, on
which they kept some account, there were not less
than 3,500 of these spasms.
The least particle of food taken into the room
will produce violent heaving and retching. I sim
ply handled bread and then went near the bed, and
it produced heaving which was alarming. I
sprinkled an impalpable and almost imperceptible
powder of succharum lactis upon her tongue, and
it produced violent heaving which lasted over one
hour.
From the statements and affidavits I have, which
I believe to be essentially correct, this woman has
not eaten anything, and not even taken a drop ot
water from about the 20th of last February to Sept
11th, the time I saw her. She has not eaten more
[TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE
titan a person would eat one usual meal, while in
health, since the 28th ot June, 1855, now about 27
months. For a few times during this period, she
has taken a little drink and a few teaspoonsfuil of
berry juice and the juice from apple sauce ; but all
that you can call nourishment would not amount
to one ordinary meal during the whole period. The
digestive action of the bowels has also been entire
ly suspended, since a year ago last June. I hope
some of our eminent professors and men of sci
ence will takt the trouble to visit this mysterious
case, and give us some philosophical explanation.
Greensboro’ Bank.
The Chronicle b, Sentinel publishes the following letter
from Greensboro', announcing the intelligence that the
two wild eat financiers of lhat place, the Cashier and
President of the Bank of Greensboro’ had suddenly disap
peared, taking with them the assets of the Bank.
Greensboro’, Oct. 9, 1857.
Dear Sir:—You were right (nobody ever doubt
ed it) when you classified the Bank of Greensboro’
a “Wild Cat concern.” This morning, the. Presi
dent and Cashier are both missing, having left last
night on the cars for “parts unknown.” You may,
therefore, rely upon it, the Bank of Greensboro’
has suspended specie paymeuts, in other words the
Bank ha 6 runaway, leaving a “beggarly account
of empty boxes.” Even the African parrot, a beau
tiful bird, the property of Mr. T. has taken wings
aud down away.
There is one consolation, however, there is not a
large amount of its bills in circulation here—not
exceeding S6OO, and I am inclined to believe this
is correct, as the’ ills never circulated much beyond
the smoke of the Bank chimney. lam truly sorry
for the bill holders here, as the money is iti the
hands of those who are illy able to bear the loss. I
have understood that a large amount of the bills of
the Bank are in circulation in the far West, some
say as much as $60,000. At this time there is not
an officer nor a stockholder of the Bank, unless it
be the Ca.-bier, within the limits of the State of
Georgia, so far as I know or belive. The way
this Bank has been conducted out Heirods Herod.
1 wish I had more time to enter into particulars in
regard to the management of this beautiful concern,
but T have not.
Very respectfully.
The correspondent of the Charleston Cou
rier writing from New York, Oct 8, says:
The only paper that seems to have taken a rise
during this financial tumble down, is the Independ
ent, the religious-commercial organ, managed by
Beecher, Cheever, Bowen & Cos. From the fact
hat it reports the weekly failures, it is now retailed
in the streets daily on the morning of its publica
tion, for six cents a copy. And as its monetary
column, (edited by Bowen, of the firm of Bowen,
McNamee &. C 0.,) is of considerable interest to
most persons, so the paper is readily picked up by
everybody.
There is a vulgar saying that every dog has his
day. This firm of Bowen, McNamee & Cos., are
now having their’s. They ore reported in Bowen’s
own column to-day, as having failed. In the ster
eotype language of these things, their “assets are
much larger than their liabilities.”
Bowen & McNamee were the abolitionist firm
who, in 1850, “sold their goods, not their princi
ples.” It seems now that they did not do very
well, even with their goods. They left a fine store
in lower Broadway, and ambitiously went higher
up town, and erected a palace which is said to
have cost $400,000. Their liabilities are reputed
at a million and a half .of dollars.
The lailure ofWm. G. Lane & Cos., is a surprise
to every one. And, unlike the house above men
tioned, every one seems to deeply sympathise with
them. They were business men and not politi
tiemns, and in New York these things must be
kept separate, for if an attempt is made to serve
both, one or the other, and perhaps the two, are
sure to succumb.
j Native Cotton —The following is an extract from
Ia letter published in the Tallahassee Floridian &
| Journal, and dated the 14th of Sept., at Fort My
ers, Fla :
“While on a scout near this place, on the Car
loosahatchee River a few days since, I found a
large quantity of wild cotton. This cotton is grow
ing in a low marshy hammock near the river ;
when first discovered I could hardly believe the
fact, but upon examination 1 found it to be cotton
in its crude and uncultivated state. This cotton
has the appearance of Nankeen cotton ; but I think
this is caused iiy the red bug, which seems to have
the same effect on the bolls as rust on the stem.—
The leaf of this cotton is very much like the Sea
I-land in shape, but from the feeling of the leaf
and shape of the bolls one would suppose it to be
upland. The cotton grows very high, and seems
mostly barren, but this, is owing to the thickness
of the growth. This cotton is so well adapted to
the climate and soil that it grows all winter; it may
seem unreasonable to you, sir ; but I am confident
that 1 saw some stalks that are at least four or
five years old. It is found mostly in the viciniiy of
the river. 1 went with Colonel Rogers and others,
who are well acquainted with the cotton plant, to
look at this cotton, and they all pronounced it cot
ton growing naturally in an uncultivated soil.”
Jrif” The St. Louis Republican noticing the
close of the great fair in that city, says :
The entire receipts from the gates and entries
will amount to $30,000, or thereabouts, and under
all circumstances, our fair can boast of being the
most brilliant one held in any State during the year,
the National Fair not excepted. It may be regard
ed as a fixed and permanent institution, and at the
next Annual Fait, there will be additional improve
ments worthy the interest that attaches to it as an
important and interesting feature in the great West,
and reflecting additional credit upon the enterprise
of St. Louis and her citizens.
Who Would Think! —The New York Herald,
speaking of the costly dresses of the ladies of that
city, says :
Who would think that the husbands of these la
dies who wear thousand dollar dresses, and wipe
their “dear” little noses with hundred dollar pocket
handkerchiefs, were shinning about Wall street, bor
rowing money at 3 percent, a month, or putting on
a long face and telling their creditors that they have
not a c lit in the world.
Walker ami Nicaragua. —A dispatch from New
York says:
The letter addressed by the Central American
Ministers to the President asserts that Gen. Wal
ker’s new expedition will rendezvous at Boca del
Torro, and proceeding thence will land at San
Juan Del Norte. [Boca del Torro is off the coast
of Chiriqui, south of Costa Rica.]
A New Territory. —The citizens of Utah who
are opposed to the polygamous principles of the
Mormons are purposing a separation of Carso
Valley from Utah, so as to have a separate terri
torial government. They say there are tired of
