¥'l Continued from last teeth,
kt th is fi n3, I prosu-lie fn* there are
few if a:iv persons who commenced
ni iriw ' as £ir bask as 10 years and
prosecuted the work steadily afterwards,
whose farms are not now doubled, ilnot
tripled, ill productive value, from this
one source of increase alone. Nor is this
early and unusually rapid progress,
which you have made in this m<>de of
knorovemont, owin/ merely; as some
mijht infer, to the superior profit which
it pro nrtes in advance of its actual trial.
Forthwith truly it presents that claim
for preference, and though that claim
has been made known by publications,
to, at least, all the readinit and most in
telligent atrricidluralists of the United
States still, no where else have the prac
tical operations compared with yours,
And those of lower Virginia generally.
In western New York, where Agricul
ture, in general, is belter conducted than
with us. the many valuable beds of inarl
remain untouched. Rich shell marl, of
fresh water, is found in New Jersey,
Vermont, and probably in most or all
other of the Nbrthen States, and not one
trial has lieen made of them, or if made,
has yet been published'. Not the least
interest on the subject seems to have
been excited there. Indeed, not long
ago. the Editor of an Agricultural paper,
(the Massachusetts Ploughman,) and he
a practical farmer, proclaimed his doubts
of the ii ility or profit of lime ns manure;
and Dr. Dana, a distinguished and pop
u!ar writer on Bgricultural chemistry,
hi his “Muck Manual,” treats with deni
al and contempt the doctrine of general
deficiency of linv? in soils, and the ne
c'ss ty for a greater supp’y. Indeed, he
main ains that every soil, even the jioor
rest and most destitute m .Massachusetts,
has already an abundant natural supply
of lime. Thus, even at this late day,
yrmr practice is far from having the gen
eral support either of the practical farm
ers, or tiie scientific writers and Agricul
til alists of the North Then ns to prac
tice, and in regions more like your own,
and neitrer ho-ne. In North Carolina,
where the marl beds are rich and exten
sive, but little use has been made of them;
and none at all in Georgia, where they
have been much more liounteously be
stowed. In South Carolina, also, very
little of thought and less labor had been
giver, to this source of wealth before the
present year. But, it is just and proper
to ndJ, that howeva r late in beginning,
most of the intelligent planters of South
Carolina are now well awakened to the
value of this improvement, and many
have already commenced marling, and
o ne of them are making unexampled
>rogress. The planters of that State will
nt long be behind any in Virginia in
he extent, at least, of their marling and
irniiig of erations.
The few among this company who
l*e as old residents of Prince George
unity as myself can can as well remem
■rour Agricultural and social condition,
•fore thi-re existed either practical
uowledge, nr even hope of profitableor,
>iding improvement of onrinnd, or our
yricnitural condition, whether from
iarling or liming, or from nnv other
uirce. And the former condition of
i igs, and the strong contrast to the
-esent, enn hardly be realised by those
ho were then children, or unborn.
Verity-five veais ago, there was scarce
/ a proprietor in my neighborhood, and
eriving his income from his cultivation,
/ho did hot djsire to sell his land ; and
/ho w is not prevented* only by the im
possibility of finding a purchaser, unless
at half of the then very low estimated
values and prices of lands. All wished
tOi.ell—none to buy. If a stranger had
been inclined to settle atnot.g us, lie
might have chosen almost any farm in
the country, and would scarcely have
failed to find the owner glad to sell, and
at a low price. And ifso strange a fancy
had*possessed one or ltnre persons as to
wish to buy 20 contiguous farms; and
the wish and intention had been adver
tised, so far from the market price being
raised by so sudden and large a demand
the previous prices asked would probably
have been even reduced, by the eager
competition of those driving to be a
rnong the lucky sellers and fearing to
miss so rare a chance ; and alt of whom,
so soon ns thus released from their pre
vious tic and encumbrance, would have
gone their way, rejoicing to aid in filling
trp-the great Western wilderness.
Now mark the contrast since presented.
In all of this my old neighborhood, and,
so far as 1 know, throughout the whole
country, not one individual, after be
ginning to marl, has emigrated, or de
sired to emigrate. Yet within the same
space of time, the rage for emigration
has passed over other parts of Virginia
l»ce a pestilence, leaving marks of deso
lat tin which will scarcely be effaced by
tYenty years of subsequent iudntry and
Er Tiie pnees of lands here
tve greatl; increased, though less than
tHcir trito value. But I know not how
t*«-stum-itd the rate '(yftiiwttttte, because
sales are now even more rare than for
merly, though for the opposite reason.
Then it was that iwibody would' bay.
Niw nobody wilf sell. Th& I have
cause to know to my sorrow, so far as
personal feeling .and interest are concern
ed. F> >r 1 have been anxious lor some
years to buy some farm in my old neigh
borhood, and mar to the homes of my
older a id settled children,- nnd to pass
tha remainder of mv declining years
n#ar w n-ie I was born, «nd ,, ha've lii'ed
aid labored larige?t. And my anxious
effort to buy has been in vain; no pro
prieterr being willing to sell any farm
worth the buying as a residence. And
in consequence of this disappointment,
and despair of doing better, I have recent
ly bought a fnrffi so remote, that, with all
its great advantages, 1 shall go to it with
the reluctanl feelings of An exile.
But estimates of increased production,
and increased values and prices of your
marled land even though the One or the
other may be triple or quadrupled, do not
indicate all, or the most important bene
fits you have derived from marling.—
There has been produced a still more
valuable improvement in the people
themselves—in industry,general habits,
demand for and acquirement of educa
tion, and in all the results which are sure
to proceed from these causes. Up to the
time so often referred to, 25 years ago.
and still later, the former large estates of
tills country, in every successive genera
tion, had been more and more reduced in
size, as well as all lands in their rate ot
production. Almost every man was
growing poorer, or the prospects of his
family becoming worse. The grade of
society had been, and still continued to
be, decidedly on the decline. And the
proprietors, having no hope of the im
provement of their lands, or of lieing re
munerated for eve so great iddustry and
devotion to their business, thought it as
well to-bestow very little. Accordingly,
like the inhabitants of a city ravaged by
the plague, and from the like motives,
they thought more of present enjoyment,
than of providing for future wants ; and
there prevailed generally habits af idle
ness. and improvidence, of pleasure-seek
ing, and of neglect of business, with all
their necessary consequences Now all
has been changed. 1 know no where a
more industrious and steadily thriving
community than is now exhibi ed in the
present occupants of the same ground.
Among them, I believe it would be diffi
cult to find a young land-holder who is
not industrious, attentive to his business,
and thriving in his operations; and if
seeking pleasure less than his predeces
sors finding it for more successfully, in
steady attention to the cultivation and
improvernt o f his farm. And this change,
and all these results anJ lienefits, eco
nomical, social and moral, are mainly
owi.ig to thii one circumstance—that
every man has now presented to him, in
certain prospect, a full and sure reward
for his lobors. And that prospect, alone,
will serve to render any community in
dustrious and frugal; as the absence of
all such prospect will as surely render
any community, in the general, idle,
cureless, and wasteful of their means.

tive will be firm attdjust, and yet courteous and
conciliatory to all the parties that compose the Con*
press, so that in the political conflicts, which may be
anticipated, the PEOPLE’S interests may not be
altogether neglected. One party will hat c the as
cendancy in the Senate —the other in the House,
while the President will strive, in sehaif or the
country, to harmonize their legislative action.
Congress will find that, under the present Execu
tive, the revenue# being in responsible hands, no
defalcations have, occurred, and that the agents, en
trusted with the public funds, have merited tlto con
fidence of both parties. It will find a tariff some
what itnperft cl, and differing from the one recom
mended by Mi. Tyler, passed in the House hy the
casting votes of twenty-one Democrats — thirty-Jirc
Clay whigs voting against it; while in the Senate
four or five Democrats voted for it, ami twice that
number of Whigs sg iinst it. It will find that the
currency of the country is in a sounder condition
than it has been for twenty year*, and that too vrith
outa Bank, or any thing of a kindred nature ; while
the five millions of Treasury notes authorized to be
issued bearing six per ceut., are taken by the Gov
ernment creditors without any interest at all. It will
find demagogue* and political managers busy cheat
ing the People as usual, preaching distribution, as
sumption of state debts, bank, &r. But they can
never make much progress whilr Mr. Tyler is Prcs
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 and move
ments in Congress. The session will no doubt be
long, as well as intensely exciting, and henre the in
ducement to subscribe for the Madisonian by the year.

VEGETABLE PILLS
A UURLI ; BLESSING.
Tltp*r PiUs have lotqr been known anti appreciated
for their extra 'Military and immediate powers of re
-form-T pi rfe.-t health to persons suffering under
nearly every kind of disease to which human
frame is liable.
They arc particularly recommended to all those
person* who are afflicted with any kind of Chronic or
Lingering Comjdaint, as there is no medicine before
tin- 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 tlte blood.
They arc acknowledged by the hundreds and
thousands who are usiup 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 these Pills, neve r afterward feel willing to be
Without theui, ana call agatn and again for more
Which is sufficient proof of their good qualities
HEADACHE—SICK OR NERVOUS.
Thuae who have suffered a. and are weary of suffer
ing with this distressing cumpleini, will find Spencer »
Vegetable Pills a remedy at once certain and immedi
ate in its effects. One eirgle dose of the Pilk liken
soon as the headache ia fell coming on, will cure it
ita uM half hour entirely.
As a 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 few weekx
after having suffered under the dreadful compUin't
for year*.
In Habitual Costiveness, they are decidedly s U p e .
rior to any Vegetable Pill ever brought before i| )e
public; and one 25 cent box will establish their sur
prising virtues, and place them beyond the teach of
doubt in the estimation of every individual.
They are invaluable in nervous and hypochondria,
cal affections, loss of appetite, and aJI complaints to
which females alone are subject.
They are mild in their action, and convey tln ist
immediate conviction of their utility from the first
dose. They may be taken by persons of any ago ;
and the feeble, the infirm, the nervous and delicate
are strengthened by their operation, because they
clear the systam of bad humors, quiet nertouairra
taiiihty, 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 Stales alonr
and more than three times the same quantity in oth
er S ates.
As an Anti-Billious Medicine, no family should be
without them. A single trial of them is more satis
factory than a thousand certificates.

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, dm
ring which time I had taken, as well as I recollect,
about sixty boxes of Beckwith’s Pilb, twelve boxi»
of Peters’Pills, and a number of Imxcs of Champion's
and Brandretb’s Pills, all of which afforded me but
little or no relief. At last, I was recommended to
try Dr. Spencer’s Vegetable Pill*, and veil 1 did; for
Inevor had but one attack of the Sick Headache af
ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about sir
months) and I candidly confess, that I hare derived
more real benefit from the use of Spencer’s Pills
than from all the other Medicines and Pills aftat 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 Pills
have done me so much good, that 1 would not feel
willing to be cithout them for five dollars a box; and
1 cannot but feel very grateful to Dr. Spencer fur
having prepared such a valuable medicine, and tht
distribution of il 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. Speu
cer’s truly valuable Pills constantly on band.

This is to certify, that I have used Dr. Spencers’
Vegetable Pills in my family for the last six months,
and I consider them the best Pills 1 ever used. I
was appointed an agent for die sale of them about
<ix months ago, at which little the trai oiling agent
left me about one hundred boxes, and 1 ha> c sold
out every box long since, and could have sold as
inany more if they had been left. 1 think every
family should keep a supply always on hand. J have
neversidd any Pills in my stole that have been liked
so well as Spencer's Vegetable Pills.

Washington Cos., Ala., March 8, 1843.
To Dr. Spencer;
Dear Sir—l have used your Vegetable Pills in my
family the 1 >st year with great success,and I consid
er them the best Pill I ever used. I have made con
siderable use of many other popular Pills, but Ia n
convinced that yours are superior to any of them.
Fot Sick Headache, they are an excellent medicine.
For Bowel Complaint, 1 think them the best medi
cine in the world, and also for the Bloody celux. I
can say to you that I made great use of them last
season. 1 had twenty of my blacks sick with the
Flux, and 1 administered your Pills freely, and 1 did
not loose a single case. My neighbors speak in the
highest terms of them. Respectfully yours,

A PROCLAMATION
To the Citizens af Georgia:
WHEREAS, for several years past, the g-ood Peo
ple of this State have been gr.-ally, and very seri
ously imposed upon in limes of suffering and sick
ness, by being obliircd to pay the enormous price of
One Dollar and Fifty Cents for a Box of PILLS, or
a Bottle of MIXTURE, to cure CHILLS AND
FEI'ERS, and other distressing complaints: Now,
therefore, know ye, that an effectual means if reli'f
have been discovr red in DR. HULL'S VEGET
ABLE FEVER and AGUE, and ANTI-FEVER
PILLS; which arc offered lty the Proprietors and
their at the low price of only One Dollar per
Box— from 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper thau the majori
ty of all other medicines for the cute of such com
plaints; and as to the comparative safety with which
they can be taken, together with the simplicity ol
their component parts (w hich nre entirely vegetsbb)
and the real value of Hull’s Pills, as adapted to the
wants of the community, there can he no longer the
least doubt of their great superiority over all otlict
medicines, not only in their superior properties ia
the safe and speedy cure of Chills and Fevers, but
also as a remedy in Fevers of every description.
It is particularly worthy of remark, that out of up
wards of Twenty Thousand Boxes of these Pills sold
in Alabama alone, within the last twelve mont 'S, not
a single case has come to the knowledge of the pro
prietors, where they have failed to cure the Chill*
end Fevers, when they have been used aicordinff to
the directions accompanying them. And beside*
these pills are no l ‘qnack medicine;" they are tht
scientific preparation of expori -need medical met.
who, after having prepared this important recipe,
most positively declared that from ail the discoveries
up to the present time, in medical science, they si*'
noway 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 and their
proportions are such as to produce a medicine which
never fails to relieve when relief is at all atiain»ble
Upwards of one thousand certificates might here be
added, of important cures effected by this inedicinr ; r
but it is not pecessary to putdislt theui, as'a single,
trial of the Pills is more satisfactory evidence than t
volume of printed testimonia's. We would, howe v ' t
er, refer the reader to some eight or ten thousand
families in this State, who it is thought have experi
enced their efficacy, and who would bear ample tes
timony of their unrivalled virtues.
