CLAY. Ur. F. S. Bronson. From the Southern Recorder. 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.

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.

Mr. Townes also proposes to be a candidate for the office of State Prin ter. We are glad to hear this. Every day is adding to tile strength of Mr. Calhoun’s name, and wc wanted just such an organ at Tuscaloosa. — Monty'y Ala. Advertiser. 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.— Milled7cviilc Journal.

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.

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. CER V IFICA TES. [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. ISAAC M. THOMAS. [From Mr. Adam Riser, a popular Merchant in Talla dega County, Alabama.] Rises’s Stohe, Talladega Cos., Ala. ) August 16, 1842. i 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. ADAM RISER. [From a very respectable Planter in Washington County, Alabama.] JVashjxotos Cos., Ala., March 8, 1313. 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.
