THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
The reader will find below a letter which wc take
from the Columbus Enquirer—the Editors vouching
tor the high standing of the writer as one of the De
mocracy. We give the remarks of the Enquirer in
explanation.
The writer ofthc letter in question, it will be per
ceived, is what our people call quite free Spoken, in
relation to the state of feeling at present existing be
tween the two divisions of the Democracy in Geor
gia. It did not, to be sure, need the additional evi
dence afforded by this letter, to make known the
hostility in the ranks of our opponents. This col
lision, and jealous hostile feeling, was already well
known to the citizens of every county iu the State,
of both parties. But we give the letter as our weekly
bulletin from the theatre of war, shewing, perhaps as
plainly as any thing else could, the bitterness which
exists between the two divisions of our opponents.
We eivc it for the further reason, that the writer
seems to be intimately acquainted with the character
and qualifications of the sage of Lindenwold, vul
garly known as Martin Van Burcn, and has sketch
ed his characteristics with a just distinctness, only
equalled by its laconic point. Here is the article and
the letter:
DOMESTIC.
“Coming events cast their shadows before.”
The following extract from a letter, written by a
distinguished democrat to a friend in this city, is in
dicative of coming events. The writer is personally
known to us as one who, in theeontest of 1810, join
ed his fortunes with what ho termed the “glorious
democracy,” anJ done battle manfully in that great
contest to advance their principles and elect their
candidates. The defeat of Mr. Cooper, he intimates,
has opened his eyes to some of the beauties of democ
racy, and settled his course, in certain contingencies,
as to the next Presidential election. Things will
work right in lime.
“Cooper is most wofullv beaten, and this too has
barn done by the glorious democracy of Georgia.—
In this part of the country they begin to talk strong
ly of calling a Convention to nominate delegates to
Baltimore, and these too of the Van Buren stripe.—
This move of theirs, (I speak now of the Van Burcn
Dcmi.crats,) their bitter hostility to Mr. Calhoun,
the defeat of Cooper, caused in the main by their de
fection and opposition, is indicative of a system of
ostracism against all the Calhoun men, which will
not rest until they are all driven from their ranks. -
What will ♦ * » • do) He
1 know to be strongly attached to Calhoun, but yet
I fear that they will either whip him into measures,
or else drive hint from their ranks. My own course
is for the present fixed—and “ from the lights before
mu” as Martin Van Burcn says, in the event of a
contest between his Excellency of Kindcrhook and
“GALLANT HARRY.” why my money is bet
upon the Western nag, and I'll help what little I can
to aid hi min his race. lam not sorry for the present
election in Georgia, I rather rejoice at it, for to my
mind, it shadows forth the future. I never have
thought until now, that Clay could get tile vote of
Georgia, but the Van Buren men will not support
Calhoun if nominated, nor will the Calhoun men
support Van. lam afraid Calhoun will not receive
the nomination, but lie ought to have it, and to be
President to hoot. In getting him, 1 would have the
i an with the measures, and if that can't he done,
why I’ll take the next best choice. Van will not do,
and 1 would sooner have a bold, fearless, indepen
dent, honest man, even ifhehchad glaring faults,
personal and political, than an intriguing little red
iieaded rascal, who sols traps, and fixes triggers to
work out ends, to which he was never entitled from
personal ability, or the value and amount of Ins pub
lic services. AVhy in comparison with Calhoun, he
is Tom Thumb to Goliah, while the latter is not only
Goiiali, but carries also the sling of David. I tell
you the Calhoun men will not support Van, ami for
one, say I ‘procul !’ And I now predict, that Clay
tn a contest with the said Martin or Van, ([ don’t
can which you call him,) will beat him im Georgia,
ten thousand votes, and every Calhoun man in the
Btate ought to and will vote for him.
Death of Tutor Dwight. —Wc have to day to
perform the melancholy duty of announcing the death
of Mr. John Breed Dwight, a tutor in Yale College,
caused by one of those unfortunate freaks which ag
itate the younger members of Yale College after
their annual admission lo the institution. Immedi
ately after the commencement of the present aca
demic term, some young rowdies of the advancing
classes were paying their respects to the freshman in
a course of induction prohibited by the rules of the
institution, which Tutor Dwight, with others, at
tempted to suppress. In the performance of this duty,
lie seized a young ruan’nimed Lewis Fassitt, of Phil
adelphia, and was in the act of drawing him to the
light, in order to recognise-him, when Fassitt drew
a knife or dirk, of some kind, and gave him three
successive stabs near the groin, and almost penetra
ting the femoral artery, which would have been in
stantly fatal. Tutor Dwight has been suffering ever
since, and notwithstanding all the exertions of the
medical faculty and the kindest assiduity of his fam
ily and friends, a fever ensued, which, after intense
suffering has terminated in death.
Tutor Dwight was a son of Mr. James Dwight,
pf this city, (ate of Richmond, Vo., and a grandson
of the late President Dwight. lie was 21 years of
age, anil graduated at Yale College in the class of
1810. lie was a gentleman of fine promise, and his
loss w ill make a serious void in the social and literary
circle to which he was attached. —Sea Haven Her
ald.
AVc arc happy to learn from the Philadelphia U. S.
Gazette, that Fassitt hae been arrested in that city
and required to give hail in the sum of $5,000, to
await a requisition from the Governor of Connecti
cut.—Savannah Republican.

RAIL ROADS.
Are they beneficial or injurious 7
There arc not a few' of our citizens,
and some of them shrewd and talented
who think the value of these expensive
works, more than doubtful. That how
ever profitable to stockholders, or bene
ficial to cities on the seaboard ; they are
productive of more injury than benefit to
the country. The reasons offered for
this opinion are specious and not un
worthy of notice.
They allege that to enable ourselves
to travel more swiftly, we establish a sort
of monopoly of transportation, breaking
down all lines of stngcs, to the ruin ot'
thousands employed in their service, and
injuring the planting interest by cutting
off this vast market for their horses and
forage. That to centralize trade, we
puss our works through the country, des
troying the value of property in our vil
lages, breaking up every country store or
cross road tavern, and thus destroying
the value of the accumulated gains of a
vast number of people dependent on
these employments. That a further in
jury is done to those engaged in trans
porting heavy commodities on road wag
gons, and that this also invades the
gains property belonging to the planting
interest. Nor has the fixed property in
the neighborhood of large cities, ’ the
farms, the gardens, the orchards, which
have been bought at such high rates and
improved at such heavy cost, escaped the
deteriorating influence of Kail Roads.—
These have no longer the advantage of
the monopoly of tire market. We notice
in an exchange paper a bitter complaint
by a New Jer&cy gardener, that his efforts
to profit by forcing bis vegetables by ar
tificial stimulants availed nothing against
rail roads, which brought in no Time, the
products of the South or West. What
say they, is to become of nil these people
injured as they are, and driven to seek
or to learn new occupations, in place of
those which have been taken from, by
these rail road monopolies ? At whose
hands are they to obtain justice, and
where are they to receive an equivalent
for the injuries they have sustained 7
It is impossible to deny the truth of
these statements or the hardship of many
of these cases. It is impossible to go
forward with the improvements of the
world without inflicting evils of this kind
on a part of the human race. They are
inevitable and are to be remedied only by
that versatility of talent, skill and energy
which belongs to a people rising in the
ranks of civilization and appropriating to
themselves the wisdom of all ages’. We
dare not halt while the world goes for
ward. If we do we sacrifice every thing
which others may exact of us. We
should become an easy prey to every in
vader and slaves to those who would
forge for us chains. China was the most
scientific aud powerful nation on the
earth. She decided that her institutions
her acts, her science and her defences
should not be improved. She fenced
herself in with her vast wall apd taught
her people to believe every otiier nation
barbarous or savage. But alas for her
infatuation ! Conquered by liotdes of
barbarians, who have yet allowed her
institutions to exist, she lias of late shown
her imbecility before the great money
stealer of the world, England. She is
now to disgorge the accumulations of
ages and to bewail in sackcloth and ashes
the folly of her system of repudiating the
improvements of other nations. India
scarcely less remarkable for her early
advance in the arts of peace and war;
bound down by a false religion and a di
vision of her people into castes, submits,
an easy prey to a handful of Englishmen
who by superior policy in government,
and skill in arms, appropriate to them
selves all the profit of the labor of nearly
one hundred millions of people. And
nearer our own shores the ancient and
interesting country Egypt: the cradle of
the arts and sciences, the field of concep
tions and projects of labor and skill un
equalled elsewhere in the world. Os
what avail is the unequalled fertility of
her soil, the unequalled purity of her at
mosphere and the purity of her noble ri
ver 7 Wc dare not halt while the rest
of the world go forward with improve
ments in arts or arms. Rail Roads need
not this defence. They can bear the re
proach of all the ill they cause and yet
claim for themselves the place of a great
invention and a great benefactor. They
are great labor saving machines, and like
those which have gone before them, do
their work with more dispatch economy
and profit, than any which have been yet
seen. As well might we stop the mill,
because pounding corn wits once a trade
—stop the press because scriveners earn
ed their living by copying books—stop
the plough because the hoe and the spade
required hands to wield them and were
a living to th >se who turned up the sod
—or stop the manufacturing of the civili
zed world because it would employ three
times as many people to clothe the world
half as well without them.

want or need; it is the protection of the agriculture
of the country l” —Daniel Webster's last speech.

a Calhoun paper is about to be established in Tusca
loosa by Samuel A. Townes, Esq. of Perry county,
to be called '/tie free IVader. Mr. Townes also
proposes to be a candidate for the office of State Prin

LOOK OUT FOR VILLAINS.
There are a number of men prowling through the
country stealing negroes, not only from plantations,
etc. but even from jails. A few 'days since two of
these worthies came to this place, professing to have
one or two negroes in jail. One of our citizens,
thinking that all was not right, went to the jail on
the morning after their arrival and fou{ul one of them
conversing with a negro belonging to Mr. Howard
of Alabama. His master’s relatives being near this
place, and our citizen having mentioned :hc fact to
the jailor in the hearing of the scoundrel, he imme
diatcle left the jail, and a few rods off, upon meeting
with his friend who was coming up to prove the pro
perty, they passed a few words, put whip to their
horses, and have not been heard of since.
One ol them is a man by the name of Johnson who
was sent from Bibb, we are informed, and has served
out one term in the Penitentiary—and the other is
supposed to bean individual, with red hair and whis
kers, tall, stout made, with sandy complexion,—and
professes lo hail from Alabama or South Carolina.—

Hi* Journeymen Tailors of Now York had anoth
er meeting Oct. 17th, at National Hall, and passed
the following bill of prices:—
“For dress and frock coats, without extras, for
shops and the southern market, $1; overcoats, $4 50;
plain sack coats, $3; thin sack coats, $1 50; great
coats; $4; thin coats or coatecj, s'2 75; round jack
ets, B*2 ; cloaks, $2 50; single breasted coats, $3 50 ;
for wages, $9 per week; $1 75 per day, and 18 3-4
cents per hour.
The receipts of Cotton at Charles ton, per Rail
Road, from the 19th to the 25th inst., amounted to
7,998 hales. Front the 19th to the 25th inst., the
receipts per Central Rail Road were 1,133 halos.—Sa
vannah Republican.
From the New York Herald’s “ Money Article.”
The abundance of money, and the scarcity of pa
per in u to, as a medium of exchange, has enabled
the Secretary to reduce the interest of his lo .n from
six percent to one mill, thereby effecting a saving of
$300,000 to the Treasury. Herein consists the only
difference between the new issues of notes and the
former ones. The whole affair is indeed wrong, and
should bo remedied by putting tho tariff upon a rev
enue basis only. There will then be no necessity
to issue government paper,'either of a high or low
rate of interest. It saeins to he to the last degree
absurd, after Congress has authorized the Secretary
to issue notes, for political papers to abuse him be
cause he did not pay a high rate of interest. Asa
judicious and sagacious officer, he has borrowed his
money on the most favorable terms, and by so doing
has saved $300,009 to the Treasury. Those who
attack the issue, as a species of paper money, vvoulJ
do well to remember that Congress lias so ordered it.
They have given up their revenue to the manufac
turing interest, and ordered the Secretary to borrow
on the best terms he can, not exceeding six per cent.
This he has done. It now remains far the democrat
ic House of Representatives about to assemble, to
endorse this “paper money,” or to restore the legiti
mate revenuee of the government.

VEGETABLE PILLS;
A PUBLIC BLESSING.
These Pills have long been known ant! appreciated,
for tiieir extraordinary and immediate powers of re
storing perfect health to persons suffering under
nearly every kind of disease to which the human
frame is liable.
They arc particularly recommended to all those
persons who are afflicted with any kind of Chronic or |
Lingering Complaint, ns there is no medicine before
the public which has so natural and happy effect up
on the system in correcting the stomach ad liver,
and to the formation of healthy chyle and thereby
purifying the blood.
They arc acknowledged by the hundreds aud
thousands who arc using them, to bo not only tho
most mild and pleasant in their operation, hut tl.o
must perfectly innocent, safe and efficient medicine
ever offered to tho public. Those who once make a
trial of these Piiis, never afterward feel willing to be
without them, and call again and again fur more;
which is sufficient proof of their good qualities.
JIHAD A CIIE-SICK OR NER VO US.
Those who have suffered and are weary of suffer
ing with this distressing complaint, will find Spencer's
Vegetable pills a remedy at once certaitrnmi immedi
ate in its effects. One single dose of the Pills taken
soon as the headache is felt coming on, will cure it
in one half hour entirely.
Asa remedy in Summer and Bowel Complaints,
they display their wonderful powers to admiration,
and are far superior to any thing in use lor these
complaints.
In Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, they stand un
rivalled. Many have been cured in a tow weeks,
after having suffered under tho dreadful complaint
for years.
In Habitual Costivcnes3, they arc decidedly supe
rior to ar.y Vegetable I’tll ever brought before the
public : and one 25 cent box will establish their sur
prising viitues, and place them beyond the teach of
doubt in the estimation of every individual.
Thfiy arc invaluable in nervous and hypochondria,
cal affection-, loss of appetite, aud all complaints to
which females alone arc subject.
They arc mild in their action, and convey almost
immediate conviction of their utility from the first
dose. They may be taken by persons of any age;
aud the feeble, the infirm, the nervous and delicate
arc strengthened by their operation, because they
clear the system of bad humors, quiet nervous irra
tahility, and invariably produce sound health.
Upwards of Three Hundred and Seventy Thous
and Boxes of these inestimable Pills have been sold
within the last twelve months in three States alone,
ami more than three times the same quantity iu oth
er States.
As an Anti-Billious Medicine, no family should be
without them. A single trial of them is more satis
factory than a thousand certificates.

[The following is from Mr. Isaac M. Thomas, Mer
chant, at Talladega Springs, Alabama.]
Talladega Speinqs, Talladega Cos. Ala.
August 17,1342.
This is to certify, that I have been afflicted with
Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint,
and Costivcucss for the last eight or nine years, du
ring which time I had taken, as well as I recollect,
about sixty boxes of Beckwith’s Pills, twelve boxes
of Peters’Pills, and a number of boxes of Champion’s
and Brandreth’3 Pills, all of which afforded me but
little or no relief. At last, I was recommended to
try Dr. Spencer’s Vegetable Pill., and well I did; for
Incv-r bad but one attack of the Sick Headache af
ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about six
mouths) and 1 candidly confess, that I have derived
more real benefit from the u-e of Spencer’s Pills,
than from all the other Medicines and Pills that I
have over taken, and I would earnestly recommend
them to all, os being in my opinion, the best medi
cine in use for all lingering complaints. The I’ills
have done me so much good, that 1 would not feci
willing to be without them for five dollars a box; and
I cannot but feel very grateful to Dr. Spencer for
having prepared such a valuable medicine, and the
distribution of it is conferring a very great favor on
the public, as it is a thing of the utmost impoitanco
that every family should have a supply of Dr. Spen
cer's truly valuable Pills constantly on hand.

This is to certify, that I have used Dr. Spencer’s
Vegetable Pills in my family for the last six months,
and I consider them the best PiTs 1 ever used. 1
was appointed an agent for the sale of them about
six months ago, at which time the travelling agent
left mo about one hundred boxes, and 1 ha>* o sold
out every box long since, and could have sold as
many more if they bad been left. 1 think every
family should keep a supply always on hand. 1 have
never s..UI any Pills in my stoic that have been iiked
so well as Spencer’s Vegetable Pills.

Tb Dr. '[.tneer:
Dear Str—l have used your Vegetable Pills in my
amdy the 1 tst year with great success, and 1 cor aid
er them the best Pill 1 ever used. I have made con
sidetabie tun of many other popular Pills, but i am
convinced that yours are superior to any of them.
For Sick Headache, they are an excellent medicine.
For Bowel Complaint, 1 think them die best medi
cine in the world, and also for the Bloody oelux. I
can say to you that 1 mado great us* of them last
season. I had twenty of my blacks sick with the
Flux, and 1 administered yuur PilW freely, and i did |
not loose a singlo case. My neighbor* speak in the
highest terms of them. * Respectfully yours,
JESSE JORDAN.
IMPORTANT CAUTION}
A PROCLAMATION.
Tb the Citizens of Georgia:
WHEREAS, for several years past, the good Peo
ple of.nhis Slate have been greatly, and very seri
ously mpo»e4 upon in times of aurterimr and sick
ncs., by being obliged to pay tho enormous pro ■ i
One Dollar im ! Fifty Calls fora Box of PILLS, f
a B.i !e of MIX JURE, tr. cure CHILLS ASD
FE VERS, and other distressing complaints: Nm ,
therefore, know ye, that an effectual means t f roll f
have been discovered in DR. HULL'S VEGE's
ABLE FEVER aud AGUE] aud ANTIFEVEE
PILLS; which are offered by the Proprietors and
lite r A rents at the low price of only One Dollar pc *
Vox— from 23 to 50 per cent, cheaper than tho major.-
ty of all other medicines for the cure of such com
plaints ; and as to the comparative safety with w bit it
they can be taken, together with tbe simplicity ol
their coinponenTparts (which are entirely vegetabh )
ami the real value at llulfs Pdls, as adapted to ti c
wants of the community, there can be no longer the
least }!offiit of their great superiority over all othei
medicines, not ortlv it! their superior properties in
die safe and speedy cure ttf Chills ami Fevers, but
also as a remedy in Fevers of every description.
It is particularly worthy of rcinatk, that out of up
wards of Twenty Thousand Boxes of these Pills sold
in Alabama alone, within the last twelve months, r ot
a single case has conic lo the knowledge of the pro
prietors, where they have failed to cure the Chills
and Fevers, when they have been used according to
the directions accompanying them. Arid besides,
tlirse pills are no “rpnack mtdicincf’ they lire the
scientific preparation of expert -need medical men,
who, after having prepared this important recipe,
most positiv civ tie,dared that from all the discoveries
op to the present time, in medical science, they saw
tin way by which they could possibly be improved, or
made in any way more effectual in the cure of those
complaints for which they are recommended: so that
the happy combination of the ingredients aud their
proportions arc such as to produce a medicine which
never fails to relieve when relief is at all attainable.
Upwards of one thousand certificnti i might here be
added, of important cures effected by this medicine j
but it is not necessary to publish them, as a single*
trial of the Pills is more satisfactory evidence than a
volume of printed testimonia's. Wc would, howev
er, refer the reader to some eight or ten thousand
families in this Sta r, who it is thought have experri
cnced their efficacy, and who would bear ample tes
timony of their unrivalled virtues.
