From the Mercury.
Mr. Ruffin and the Mar iug System.
Messrs. Editors.—As a number of
our Planters have commenced Marlinjr
thdr lands through the favorable repre
sentations of Mr. Ruffin—they will be
gratified to learn the estimation in which
the system is held, by those who have
had an opportunity of testing it for a
number of years past. You will, lam
sure, confer a favor on our Agricultural
community by republishing from the
Petersburg Republican , the proceedings
of a meeting and a public dinner given to
Mr. Ruffin, by the Farmers in this vicin
ity, who were induced by his publica
tions and example to resort to the use of
Marl, and adopt his mode of Agriculture.
It will tie perceived that such was their
favorable opinion of the effects of Marl in
resuscitating their worn out soils, and
such their gratitude to the individual
who had pointed out to them the means
of increasing their comforts and advanc
ing their prosperity, that now after an
experience of ten years they gave him a
dinner and presented him with a set of
plate.
Yours truly, B.
From the Republican.
Dinner given at Garysville in honor of
Edmund Ruffin, Nr., Esq., by the
Farmers of Prince George
County.
Prince George C. //, Dec. 12, 1843.
Dear Sir: —At a meeting of the Far
mers of this county, the following,among
other resolutions, were adopted ;
Be it therefore Resolved, That the
Farmers of Prince George county, in
consideration of the distinguished ser
vices rendered by Edmund Ruffin. Esq.,
Sen. in promoting the Agricultural in
terests of this county, by the practical
use of marl as a manure, and by his es
say's on that subject, do t nder to him a
farmers’ dinner at such time as may suit
his convenience ; and that a committee
of seven be appointed to correspond with
Mr. Ruffin on this subject.
Resolved further, That we will, at
said dinner, tender to Mr. Ruffin some
memento in token of our approbation of
his services in the cause of Agriculture.
We, a Committee appointed for that
purpose, in behalf of the farmers of the
comity, tender to yon a public dinner, to
be given at Garysville on the2Bih of the
present month—or at any time which
your convenience may dictate. Feeling
as we sensibly do, that we are mainly
indebted to you for whatever share of
prosperity we enjoy as farmers, loving
you as a man. esteeming you us a neigh
bor, and honoring you as a lienefactor,
we should be wanting injustice to our
feelings if we did not assure you of the
sincere pleasure it gives ns to announce
to you the wishes of your country-men.
W e are respectfully,
Your ob't servants,

Gentlemen :
The expressions of approbation and
f ivor which have been recently bestowed
on me by the public resolutions of the
farmers of Prince George county, and
further, by yourselves, as their commit
tee, are in the highest degree gratifying
to ray feelings. I accept, with much
pleasure, the invitation to partake of a
public dinner at Garysville, on the 28th
mst.—which time is entirely convenient,
and suitable to my arrangements for
closing my labors on the Agricultural
Survery of South Carolina.
Respectfully and truly.
Your friend,
EDMUND RUFFIN.

Importance of Omitting.
W r hen we have got a piece of good
loamy land lying on a dry subsoil, or
well drained, it is onr own fault if we
have not good crops or if the vicissitudes
of the seasons affect us to any great ex
tent. The last two years we have try
ed to keep our land dry in winter.—
Whoever has observed the difference be
tween the produce of two fields, both of
nearly the same quality, but the one
drained and the sulisoil ploughed, and
the other merely ploughed up in high
and narrow stretches, must he fully con
vinced that the capital which is laid out
in thorough draining*often pays a better
interest, without risk, that the most usu
rious discounter of short bills could have
the conscience to desire- This year it
has been 100 per cent, and more, in
some heavy wet soils, now laid dry.—
Draining, in the best manner, seldom
costs more than L. 6 per acre, and it can
be done effectually lor half that sum.
Without being drained, the cold wet
lauds which abound in England will
not average 16 bushels of wheat per
acre, taking into the account the great
many field which failed entirely'. The
same soil properly drained, with the
same labour and manure, will average
30 bushels, with double the quantity of
s'raw, and more than a bushel per acre
of seed may be saved. Here then is a
differre ice of 15 bushels per acre, which
at 6s. amount to L. 4. 10s., and allow
ing a load of straw more than on the un
drained land, worth L. 1 10s., we have
just the cost of the draining, or cent
upon cent on the capital. We have
ourselves realized this difference; and
we have 10 acres of wheat in a drained
field, and 8 acres in another of equal
quality, but not drained, of which the
first will average by estimate 36 bushels
per acre, while we do not expect more
than 20 or 22 from the other. The
poorer crop has been the most expensive,
owing to the constant hoeing and weed
ing required to keep it clean. After this,
can any proprietor or tenant hesitate to
have his heavy and wet lands drained ?
If neither the one nor the other have
money to spare, let them borrow it if they
can, at five or six or more per cent.—
They will soon be enabled to pay off
the debt; but every prudent landlord
should urge his tenants to drain, and of
fi r to find tiles on receiving five per cent,
additional rent for the cost of them.
Gardner's Cronicle.
I,aril Oil.
At one of the sectional sittings of the
late meeting of the British Association,
Mr. Hawkins stated that many of the set
tlers in the vale of the Mississippi were
going largely into the production of lard
oil, which is found to be much better for
the lubrication of machinery than sperm
oil, now so generally in use for that pur
pose ; that the expense of producing this
oil is singularly small, and considerable
exportations to the manufacturing coun
tries may shortly be expected at very
low prices ; that the mode generally pur
sued is to drive a thousand, more or less,
of young pigs into the woods to feed
themselves on acrons, beech mast. &c., 1
for nine months, during which time they
grow into large hogs: they are then driv
en into a farm yard and fattened upon
Indian corn or maize for a month, at the
end of which period they are killed, and
the whole mass, fat and lean together,
boiled into lard, except when hams are
in demand for exportation, in which case
they are cut out and sold separately :
that the scraps left after the lard is pres
sed out hear a very small proportion to
the previous weight of the hog, much
the greater part being converted into
lard ; that the lard is tlien mixed with a
certain proportion of alcohol, and sub
jected to heat, which separates the mass
into stearine and ealine— the stearine be-
ing of a consistence similar to sperma
ceti, is manufactured into candles; and
the eline is the lard oil, the principal
product, from which great profit is ex
pected.
Time.
Whether we play, or labour, or sleep,
or dance, or study the sun posteth and
the sand runs. In all the actions that a
man performs, some part of his life pass
eth. We die with doing that for which
only one sliding life was granted. Nay,
though we do nothing. Time keeps his
constant pace, and flies as fast in idleness
as in emplayment. An hour of vice is
as long as an hour of virtue : but the dif
ference which follows upon good actions
is infinite from that of ill ones. The
good, though it diminishes our time here,
yet it lays up a pleasure for eternity, and
will recompense what it taketh away
with a plentiful return at last. When
we trade with virtue, we do but buy
pleasure with expense of time; so it is
not so much a consuming of time as an
exchange. Time is a ship which never
anchors ; while I nm abroad, 1 had better
do those things that may advantage my
landing than practise such as shall
cause, my commitment when I come to
the shore.

TIIE PETERSBURG REPUBLICAN.
Relieving the present to be a crisis too important to
the interests of the .••einocratic party to allow any press
devoted toils cause to sink for want if support, the
subscriber has, at the instance of many friends, con
sented to assume the editorial guidance of the l eiets
burg Republican.
Recognizing in the late temporary defeat of D< moc
racy the necessity of recurrence for future success to
the fundamental principles of States' Rights, and their
strict application to all Federal issues. The Republi
can wili neither in itself exhibit laxity of political faith,
nor tolerate its indulgence in others, but wiil undevia
tinglv adhere to the noble principles, as admirably em
bodied by one of our distinguished Statesmen—‘Free
trade; low duties ;no debt; seperation from Banks;
economy; retrenchment; and strict adherance to the
Constitution.”
The successful and permanent estab
lishment of ibis wise and just system of measures must
grratly depend on the judicious selection of the I lento
cratic candidate for the next Presidency, and believing
the amplest guarantee of these important ends to be
afforded by tlic eminent abilities and unsullied fai'h of
JOHN C. CALHOUN,the Republican will advocate
his claims to the nomination of the National Conven
tion. These claims will be enforced w ith due respect
to the preferences of others, anil the cordial support of
this press will he given to the Nominee of a Conven
tion so assembled as to lie general, and so constituted
as to give a clear expression to the will of the majority.
The Petersburg Republican will, as heretofore, he
published three times a week, at Five Dollars per an
num, always payable in advance.
The subscr.bcr will assume its control on the third
Monday in June, until which time all communications
will be addressed to him (post paid) Riclunoi and.

PROSPECTUS
OF
THE SPECTATOR.
THE Subscriber will continue to publish, at Wash
tngton, D. C., the SPECTATOR weekly. It
will be devoted to the spread of true Democratic princi
ples and will adopt for its motto the words of the Hon.
John C-Calhoun—‘‘Free Trade; Low Duties; No
Debt; Separation from Batiks ; Economy, Retrench
ment; ana strict adherence to the Constitutionand
will bear alofi his truly Democratic banner. It will al
so strongly advocate the limitation ol the tenure of the
Presidential office to one term —not only in justice to
te distinguished public men of the nation, but as more
consonant to the genius of our Republican institutions
and more conducive to a faithful and independent ad
ministration of the Government.
As the most direct and effective mode of securing
the permanent ascendancy of these cardinal princi
pies, the Spectator will zealously urge upon the coun
try the claims ot the distinguished Southern States
man for ihe Presidency. In doing tins, it will not lie
unmindful of the integrity and safety of the Republi
can Party, an 1 will manifest a proper regard for the
preiensions of the prominent individuals who have
been named for this high trust, and are identified with
the advancement of these principles. The Spectator
will lie edited by one of the ablest and most experien
ced political writers of the day.
The terms are three dollars per year, in advance, for
a single copy.
Clubs and individuals, ordering more than one copy,
and forwarding the amount of subscriptions in ud
vance, will receive them on the following terms:
Five ■% liars per annum for two copies.
Twelve dollars per annum for five copies.
Twenty dollars per annum for ten copies.
No paper will be sent without a remittance of the sub
scription.
All communications must be addressed to the sub
senber. J HN HEART.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL MADISONIAN.
THE approaching session of Congress will,
doubtlea, he the most important one, in many
respects, in the annals of American politics. The
occurrences will be interesting to every citizen,
and we shall make extensive arrangements to
spread before our readers the earliest, most elabo
rate, and most correct accounts of every thing that
transpires at the capital. The proceedings of Con
gress will be minutely attended to, and speeches
delivered in both Houses given at length.
The approaching Congress will differ in many re
spects from any other ever convened. The Execu
tive will be firm and just, and yet courteous and
conciliatory to all the parties that compose the Con
gress, so that in the political conflicts, which may be
anticipated, the PEOPLE'S interests may not be
altogether neglected. One party will have the as
cendancy in the Senate —the other in the House,
while the President will strive, in behalf of the
cocntrt, to harmonize their legislative action.
Congress will find that, under the present Execu
tive, the revenues being in responsible hands, no
defalcations have occurred, and that the agents, en
trusted with the public funds, have merited the con
fidence of both parties. It will find a tariff some
what imperft ct, and differing from the one recom
mended by Mr. Tyler, passed in the House by the
casting votes of twenty-one Democrats — thirty-Jlre
Clay whips voting against it; while in the Senate
four or five Democrats voted for it, and twice that
number of Whigs against it. It will find that the
currency of the country is in a sounder condition
than it has been for twenty years, and that too with
oui a Bank, or any thing of a kindred nature ; while
the five millions of Treasury notes authorized to be
issued bearing six per cent., are taken by 'he Gov
ernment creditors without any interest at all. It wiJ
find demagogues and political managers busy cheat
ing the People as usual, preaching distribution, as
sumption of state debts, bank, &c. But they can
never make much progress while Mr. Tyler is Pres
ident. All these exciting subjects will be agitated
for the benefit of Presidential aspirants.
At such a time, it is necessary that the citizens in
every section of the Union should know what is
done by their representatives, and be acquainted
with the import and design of the debates tnd move
ments in Congress. The session will no doubt be
long, as well as intensely exciting, and lienee the in
ducement to subscribe for the Madisonian by the year.

IDE. SPENCER’S
jVEGETABLE PILLS
A PUBLIC BLESSING.
These Pills have long been known and appreciated
for their extra -rdinary and immediate powers of re
storing perfect health to persons suffering under
nearly every kind of disease to which u; human
frame is liable.
They are particularly recommended to all those
persons who arc afflicted with any kind of Chronic or
lingering Complaint, as th .-re is no medicine before
the publio 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 are acknowledged by the hundreds and
thousands who are using them, to be not only the
most mild and pleasant in their operation, but the
most perfectly innocent, safe and efficient medicine
ever offered to the public. Those who once make a
trial of hese Pills, never afterward feel willing to be
without ithem, ana call again and again for more
which is sufficient proof of their good qualities
HEADACHE-SICK OR NERVOUS.
Those who have suffered a.'d are weary of suffer,
ing with this distressing complaint, will find Spencer’ t
Vegetable Pills a remedy at once certain and immedi
ate in its effects. One single dose of the Pills taken
aoon as the headache is felt coming on, will cure it
in one half hour entirely.
Asa remedy in Summer and Bowel Complaint*
they display their wonderful powers to admiration’
and are far superior to any thing in use for these’
complaints.
In Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, they stand un
rivalled. Many have been cured in a few weeks
after having suffered under the dreadful complaint
for years.
In Habitual Costiveness, they are decidedly supe
rior to any Vegetable Pill ever brought before the
public ; and one 25 cent box will establish their sur
prising virtues, and place them beyond the reach of
doubt in the estimation of every individual.
They are invaluable in nervous and hypochondria
cal affections, loss of appetite, and all complaints to
which females alone are subject.
They are 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 ;
and the feeble, the infirm, the nervous and delicate
are strengthened by their operation, because they
clear the system of bad humors, quiet nervous irri
tability, and invariably produce sound health.
Upwards of Three Hundred and Seventy Thous
and Boxes of these inestimable Pills have been sold
wiihin the last twelve months in three States alone
and more than three times the same quantity in oth
er States.
As an Anti-Billious Medicine, no family should be
without them. A single trial of them is more salis-
I factor*.’ ffi® ll a thousand certificates.

Talladega Springs, Talladega Cos. Ala.
August 17,1842.
This is to certify, that I have been afflicted with
Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint,
and Costiveness for the last eight or nine years, du
ring which time I had taken, as well as I recollect,
about sixty bores of Beckwith’s Pills, twelve boxes
of Peters’ Pills, and a number of boxes of Champion’s
and Brandreth’g Pills, all of which afforded me but
little or no relief. At last, I was recommended to
try Dr. Spencer's Vegetable Pills, and well I did; for
Inever bad but one attack of the Sick Headache af
ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about air
months) and I candidly confess, that I have derived
more real benefit from the me of Spencer’s Pill?,
than from all the other Medicines and Pills that I
have ever taken, and I would earnestly recommend
them to all, as being in my opinion, the best medi
cine in use for all lingering complaints. The Pill*
have done uic s< • much good, that 1 would uot fed
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 importance
that every family should have a supply of Dr. Spen
cer's truly valuable Pills constantly on band.

This is to certif y, that I have used Dr. Spencers’
Vegetable Pills in my family for the last six month?,
and I consider the tn the best Pills i ever used. I
was appointed an agent fur the sale of them about
fix months ago, at which time the travelling agent
left me about one Ihutidred boxes, and I have sold
out every box Ion;' since, and could have sold a?
many more if they had been left. I think every
family should keep a supply always on hand. 1 have
never sold any Pills in my store that have been liked
so well as Spencer’s Vegetable Pills.

[From a very rcsp< -ctahle Planter in Washington

To Dr. Spencer:
Dear Sir—l have u sed your Vegetable Pills in my
family the 1 »st year w ith great success,and Lconsid
er them the best Pill l ever used. I have made con
siderable use of man; ? other popular Pills, but I am
convinced that yours are superior to any of them.
For Sick Headache, til ey are ail excellent medicine.
For Bowel Complaint, I think them the best medi
cine in the world, and a Iso for the Bloody eelux. I
can say to you that I nr ade great use of them last
season. I had twenty c fmy blacks sick with the
Flux, ami 1 administered your Pills freely, and 1 did
not loose a single case. My neighbors speak in the
highest terms of them. Respectfully yours,

IMPORTANT CAUTION)
A PROCL/ IMATION.
To the Citizens of Georgia :
WHKHfiAS, for several years past, the good Peo
ple of this Siate have bee n greatly, and very seri
ously imposed upon in tirr ra of sufiVring and sick
ness, by being 1 obliged to \ ay the enormous price of
One Dollar ami Fifty Cents for a Box of PILLS, or
a Bottle of MIXTURE , t o cure CHILLS AND
PE VERS, and other distr* sasinsr complaints: Now,
therefore, know ye, that an effectual means of relitf
have been discovered in f) R. HULL'S VEGET
ARLE PEVER and AGI E, and ASTI-PEVER
PILLS; which arc offered by the Proprietors and
their Agents at the low pric> 5 of only One Dollar per
Box— from 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper than the majori
ty of all other medicines fc t the cure of such com
plaints; and as to the coinpr .rative safety with which
they can be taken, Urge the r with the simplicity ot
their component parts (whirl l are entirely vegetable)
and the real value of Hull’s Pills, as adapted to the
wants of the community, th* rre can be no longer the
least doubt of their great si jperiority over all othei
medicines, not only in thei r superior properties ir>
the safe and speedy cure of Chills and Fevers, hut
also as a remedy in Fevers c f every description.
It is particularly worthy of remark, that out of up
wards of Twenty Thousand ? Joxes of these Pills sold
in Alabama alone, within the last twelve months, not
a single case has come to th* ; knowledge of the pro
prietors, where they have f; tiled to cure the Chills
end Fevers, when they have been used at cording to
the directions acconipftnyin; * them. And I esidc*
these pills are no “quack v. tilicinsp they arc the
scientific preparation of expt iri need medical n>~»,
who, after having prepared thie important recipe,
most positively declared that from all the diocorciH’*
up to the present time, in me iical science, they
no way by which they could p jesibly be improved, or
made in any way more effect) xal in tire cure of those
complaints for which they are recommended: so that
the happy combination of the ingredient* and their
proportions are such as to pro< lace a medicine which
never fails to relieve when r« lief is at all attainable.
Upwards of one thousand cert ificaus might here be
added, of important cures effo )ted by this medicine;
but it is not necessary to pul■ l»h them, as a single
trial of the Pills is more satisf istory evidence than a
volume of printed testimonial i- We would, howev
er, refer the reader to some * ?i*rhl or ten thousand
families in this State, who it in thought have experi
enced their efficacy, and who %\>uld bear ample tes
timony of their unrivalled virti tes.
