were promptly made by Mexico, but made
nI1 ly to be broken. Treaty stipulations
were entered into by her in the most solemn
manner, but have beeu totally disregarded.
The millions which she acknowledged to be
due. and promised to pay, remain unpaid.
The wrongs she has inflicted upon our citi
zens and the insults she has offered to our
flgtr, remain unredressed and unatoned.
\Vhen at the voice of Texas, as indepen
dent of Mexico as Mexico was of Spain,
her ample domain was received into the
American Union, Mexico set up that act
of our government as a pretext for a fur
ther refusal of our claims. Construing our
past forbearance into pusillanimity, her in
solence has been unbounded. Two years
since she drove one of our Plenipotentiaries
from her Court, and when subsequently she
invited another minister, who went within
her borders, bearing with him the olive
branch of peace, she insultingly refused to
ire it with him.
What could our government have done,
that she has not done to maintain friendly
relations] Her forbearance instead of being (
appreciated, lias only been the occasion of
fresh insults. It had ceased to be a virtue.
It was under these circumstances that the
President sent Gen. Taylor with his army
to the Rio Grande, not to make war, but to
protect our own territory. The army was
entrenched upon our own soil—soil claimed
by Texas as her own, in her organic law of
1S3<5—soil, over which the present Con
gress by two different .acts have, without a
single dissentent vote, extended the aigis
<>f our laws. It was in this position, that
our army was assailed by Mexican arms,
acting under the authority of the Mexican
Government, and that our citizens have
been butchered. The time surely had ar
rived when the forbearance which our gov
ernment lias so long extended, and which
has been met only by indignities unprovok
ed, should terminate. Every expedient
to secure peace had been exhausted. If
resort to the ultima ratio return, an ap
peal to arms, is not now, not only justifiable
but imperatively demanded, it must be be
cause war in no event and under no cir
cumstances, can be justifiable.
The presses whose sympathies have been
so tenderly alive to the interest of Mexico,
in their appeals to the people, have laid
aside all argument, and relied solely upon
empty declamation. Their war upon the
administration has been bypronunciamentos.
Rut these weapons have proved as ineffi
cient, as they have been in the hands of
those from whom they have borrowed them.
Gen. Winfield Scott.
In reply to a resolution of the Senate
calling upon the President for the corres
pondence between the War Department
and Gen. Scott relative to his taking the
command of the Mexican army, the Presi
dent with his communication to Congress
upon the subject, has submitted fhe corres
pondence. From the Documents, it ap
pears that immediately after the passing of
the act for raising 50,000 volunteers, the
command of the Mexican Army was ten
dered by the President to Gen. Scott. The
General immediately commenced his pre
paratory arrangements. A few days after
wards he addressed to the Secretary of
War, a letter complimentaiy neither to him
nor (as it was construed) to the President.
In tuis letter lie intimates some of his plans
for the campaign, and that it cannot be en
tered upon before the 1st of September.
To this, in the reply of the Secretary,
Gen. Scott is informed that it is the Presi
dent’s determination that he shall remain at
his post in Washington, and that Gen. Tay
lor will take the command. Gen. Scott in
two successive letters says, that he did not
intend to inculpate the President, retracts
in part his offensive remarks to the Secre
tary, and solicits the command. The Sec
retary, in reply upon the subject oft ho ap
pointment, states, “ I have received no in
structions to change or modify the direc
tions” in relation to it.
The correspondence we will publish in
our next, the message accompanying it, is
subjoined. °
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.
To the Senate of the United states .-
I communicate herewith a report from the Secre
tary of YVar, transmitting the correspondence called
for by the resolution of tiie Senate of the 5th inst.,
with Gen. Edmund P. Gaines and Gen. Winfield Scott
of the army of the United States.
The report of the Secretary of War, and the ac
companying correspondence with Gen. Gaines con
tain all the information in my possession in relation
to calls for “volunteers or militia into the service of
the United States’’ “ by an officer in the army,” with
out legal ‘ authority therefor,” and of the “ measures
which have been adopted” “ in relation to such offi
cer or troops so called into service.”
In addition to the information contained in the re
port of the Secretary of War, and the accompany
ing correspondence with “Major General Scott of
the United States army, upon the subject of his ta
king the command of the army of occupation on the
frontier of Texas”—I state, that on the same day on
which I approved and signed the act of the 13th of
May. 134(1, entitled “An act providing for the pros-
erulion ofthe. existing war between the United States
and the Republic of Mexico,” I communicated to
General Scott, through the Secretary of War, and
al>o in a persona! interview with that officer, my de
sire that he should take command of the army on the
Kio Grande, and of the volunteer forces, which I in
formed him, it was my intention forthwith to call out
to march to that frontier, to be employed in the pros
ecution ofthe war against Mexico. 'The tender of
the command to General Scott w r as voluntary on my
part, and was made without any request or intima
tion on the subject from him. It was made in con*
federation of Ins rank as commander-in-chief of the
’ lr • My communications with General Scott as
signing him the command were verbal, first through
tnc Secretary of War, and afterwards in person. No
w ritteu order was deemed to he necessary. Gen.
Scott assented to assume the command, and on
the following day Iliad another interview-with him
and the Secretary of War, in relation to the number
and apportionment among the several States, ofthe
volunteer forces to be called out for immediate ser-
x ice , the forces which were to he organized and held
in readiness subject to a future call should it become
necessary ; and other military preparationsand move
ments to be made with a view* to the vigorous prose
cution of the war. It was distinctly settled and was
well understood by Gen. Scott. that lie was to com.
m ini! the army in the war against Mexico, and so
continued to be settled and understood, without any
oilier intention on my part, until the Secretary nf
War submitted tome the letter of Gen. Scott ad
dressed to |„ m under date ofthe 21st of May, 184(5, a
ri ,.y o which is herewith communicated. The
character of that letter, made it proper in my judg
ment to change ,„ y determination in regard to the
command of the army ; and the Secretary of War
by my direction he. letter of the 25th of May, 1846,
a copy of which .s also herewith communicated, fim
he reasons therein assigned, informed General Scott
that he was relieved front the command of the army,
destined to prosecute the war against Mexico and
that he would remain.n the discharge or his duties at
Washington The command or the army on the
bonder of Mexico has since been assig ne( j t , p
Taylor with his brevet rank of Major-Hener-d’
cently conferred upon him.
„ r JAMES K. POLK.
Washington, Jan 8,1816.
. ^ ere are no late accounts from
Gen. Taylor and bis army. Reinforce
ments in large numbers are rapidly adding
to the strength of the gallant band on the
. 0 Grande. As the enemy has retired
into tne interior, we shall not hear of any
conflict till “Old Rough and Ready” as
ren. T. is called, shall be prepared to follow
him, and ferret out the place of his retreat.

The Campaign in Mexico.
Nothing official upon this subject, has
yet transpired. From what can be gather
ed however, Trom the movements at Wash
ington and N. Orleans, and the presses of
those cities, it may be safely inferred, that
something not unlike the following, will be
the plan of operations. First, a naval force
is to sustain the existing blockade of the
ports of Mexico on the Atlantic coast, and
make a demonstration upon Tampico and
such other important ports as may be assail
able, while a similar force in the Pacific is
to pursue the same course on the Western
coast of the Republic. Second. An army
of 1500 to 2000 mounted men now muster
ing at Fort Leavenworth, is to march in the
direction of Santa Fc, under the command
of Gen. Wool, take possession of the prov
inces in that region and open a communica
tion with California.
Third. The great movement is to be with
the army, under Gen. Taylor. As soon as
the volunteers now uniting with it, shall
constitute a force adequate to the purpose,
it is to invest Comargo, a town on the Rio
Grande, 250 miles by water distant from
Matarrioras. Comargo is to be the depot of
supplies and the basis for incursions iuD
the interior of Mexico. From this [mint t
is proposed to take possession of Montcre/,
distant 120 miles—a town of considerable
importance where, it is said, if any where,
the Mexicans will make a stand and attenept
to oppose our arms. In possession ofMm-
terey, our army will have the control of tie
whole of Mexico North of the Sierra W-
die and the avenue to the Capitol will thin
he opened.
It is the expectation of Gen. Taylor,to
reach Monterey during the month of Juy.
For the honor of Mexico, for the sakeof
humanity, it is to be sincerely hoped, tat
wiser counsels will conti ol her governmat,
& that the campaign will be arrested, by let-
reparation of the wrongs she has inflict'd
and her submission to the just claims of ur
country.
Expenses of tlic War.
Mr. Webster, in his remarks on the reo-
Iution in relation to Gen. Gaiiies, assertd
that the daily expense of the War nth
Mexico, was nearly a half million of lil-
lars. Mr. Sevier corrected this error.—Ic
pul down thecost of the support of te
army and navy, at $100,000 per day.

Gen. Arista's Despatch.
Below will he found the repoit of Gn.
Arista to the Mexican M nister of Wr,
giving his account of the battle of the Stlof
May. It is a precious document, replte
with the bravado characteristic of his a-
tion. It will be seen that he reduces (is
own force to 3,000, and magnifies the 2,30
composing the American army, to S.OOibr
“a trifle less.” What a pity it was tht
“night approached” to rob him of the y,-
tory within his grasp.—In the hurry ofjis
retreat, after the battle of the 9th, he Jid
not find time to issue his bulletin, deta^ing
the incidents of that eventful day.
“Northern Divisigi
General-?a-Chief.—Constant in mv rnr-
pose of preventing Gen. Taylor fror ef
fecting a junction between the fores he
was taking from Santa Isabel and lose
which he left at the fortifications oppsite
Matamoras, I set off to-day from the Van-
ques clcl Ramircno, from which place ad
dressed to Your Excellency my lastdes-
patch, and I marched towards Palo Ao as
soon as my spies informed me that theDne-
my had left Santa Isabel determined t in
troduce into their fortifications a numbr of
wagons loaded with provisions and rtil-
lery.
1 arrived opposite Palo Alto abouone
o’clock, P. M., and saw that the ccmy
was entering the place. With all th.for
ces I had 1 proceeded to form my liij of
battle on a large plain : n wnn,l y
supporting my right flank, with a quag) ire
on the left difficult of penetration. Scrce-
ly had we fired our first gun, when fheiec-
ond commander-in-chief, Gen. Don Pdro
Ampudia, arrived ; as I had warned hii to
join me as soon as he had well reinfeced
the several points which were necessay to
besiege the enemy’s troops that were 1ft in
the fortifications opposite Matamoras.
The forces under my command tere
3900 men and 12 pieces of artillery ; tose
of the invaders were 3000 men or a tifle
less, and a superior force of artillery, as
they numbered 20 pieces of 10 and 18 ptan-
ders.
The battle commenced with such ador
that the firing of cannon did not cease fr a
moment, during which the enemy endev-
ored to follow their course towards Mae.-
moras, in order to suspend the siege of thir
troops at the fortification, and with such o-
ject they set fire to shrubbery and grass o
as to form opposite their line a thick smolt
by which they succeeded in hiding then,
selves from our view ; but T, through no
cessary operations, defeated their object or
two different occasions. \
Gen. Taylor maintained his attack more
as a defensive than an offensive one, usino-
chiefly the best part of his forces—the ar
tillery, protected by one half of his infantry
and all his cavalry ; reserving the rest to
fortify the turf, at a distanco of about two
thousand yards from the battle-field.
I was anxious to make a charge on the
enemy, because the cannon balls caused
great loss on our files, and I ordered Gen.
Don Anastasio I orrejon to execute it with
the greater part of the cavalry, on our left
flank, in order to give the charge at the
same time with the infantry and the rest of
the cavalry, on the right flank.
I was waiting the moment in which Gen.
Torrejon should commence the charge, and
that the enemy should begin to feel its ef
fect, in order to give the impulse on the
right ; but the effort was checked by a
counter movement of a portion of the ene
my’s force that defended a marsh, which
prevented the attack.
Some of our companies were impatient
on account of the loss we had suffered, and
they commenced to get out of order, ask
ing that I should give the command to ad
vance at once, or retreat. At such a mo
ment, I ordered a column of cavalry, under
command of Col. Don Cayetano Montero,
to charge, with the view that the parties
i rown out of order should resume their
position, and in all possible manner march
on the ouemy, who, owiug to the orreat dis
tance at which they stood, had time to fall
back on the reserve ; and night approach
ing fast, the battle ended, and we remained
masters of the field.
After this result, every measure necessa
ry to the circumstances was taken, and our
division encamped on a more concentrated
ground in the same battle-field.
The combat was a long and bloody one,
which may be better explained by the cal
culation of the Cornmander-in-Chief of Ar
tillery, Gen. Dou Tomas Requena, who
assures me that the enemy fired over 3000
cannon shot from 2 to 7 o’clock, P. M., (at
which hour the battle terminated,) and our
artillery only fired about 650 shot.
Our arms were supported with honor to
the nation, as we did not yield an inch of
ground. Notwithstanding the superiority
of the enemy’s artillery, they suffered great
loss.
Our troops had the misfortune of losing
252 men in this battle, among dead, wound
ed and dispersed. Those that lost their
lives in defence of the most just and holy of
causes, are worthy of a national remem
brance of gratitude, for their bravery and
valor.
Your Excellency will oblige me by giv
ing notice, with the foregoing account, to
His Excellency the President, stating that
I will take care to give a full and detailed
despatch of this battle, and at the same time
recommend the valiant conduct of all the
Generals, Chiefs, officers, and men that are
under my charge; for they sustained the
bloody combat in a manner which honors
our nation, and shows the discipline and
fine order of our troops.
Please admit the assurances of my con
sideration, etc.

It is supposed, as you will be already a-
ware, that negotiations are going on with
the British minister for the settlement of
our boundary in Oregon. It is rumored by
a high source that the terms proposed by
tho British minister, are the 49th degree,
reserving to Great Britain the whole of
Vancouver’s Island and the navigation of
tho Columbia river for ten years. If the
President assents to anything in this shape,
we shall know in a few days, as lie will na
turally acquaint the Senate with the ultima
tum of Great Britain, and that body will re
commend its adoption. It is a curious fact,
this proposition carries out the views of
Daniel Webster as contained in his speech
delivered some time ago in the Senate. Suf
ficient time had elapsed for its reception
previous to tho despatch ofthe special mes
sage. Whether any understanding may
have been had between Mr. Pakenham and
Webster, can only be open to conjecture. I
do not see however, why he might not be paid
for his opinions by the British minister as by
British capitalists. He has given his opin
ion to British capitalists for a fee, why not
to tho British minister, who can much bet
ter afford to be liberal]
The tariff’question will now come up in a
few days. I learn that Harmanson of Loui
siana, one of the most practical common
sense men in the House, will make a splen
did effort. So will Seaborn Jones. Hun
ter of Virginia will give us a beautiful dis
play of oratory and statesmanship. Hous
ton of Alabama, may be expected to deliv
er a dignified, original and impressive ad
dress, and that will tell as well in the halls
of Congress as among the people. Yancy,
too, that ardent and warm glowing south
erner will be as fresh and vigorous in the
contest as the young deer of iiis distant hills.
Kauffman, the newly elected member from
1st district of Texas, is a young man of
fine talent, and should his maiden speech be
upon the tariff, will bear away the laurels of
the statesman. Jefferson Davis of Missis
sippi, should he not take command of the
troops now raised in his county of Warren,
will speak on the tariff, as he has spoken in
his own State, commanding attention and
respect, not only by the substance of his re
marks, but the peculiar and fascinating
manner in which he discusses the tariff
I am now sanguine of the passage of
Walker’s * bill, with some slight modifi
cation by the committee on ivays and means.
No duties will exceed thrity percent, and
most of them will be below twenty percent.
I have seen a compilation made by Hub
bard of Va., a man of great practical infor
mation and among the really useful repre
sentatives of the House. This compilation
shows that during the years of a low tariff
all agricultural commodities were produced
in abundance, and soid at high prices, while
during a similar period of high duties tho’
a similar abundance was produced, the pri
ces were low. These facts are calculated
to put at rest the absurd doctrine that asys-
tem of low duties produce low prices. On
the other hand, the foreign demand is so
greatly increased that prices became neces
sarily high. Mr. Hubbard will distinguish
himself in his forthcoming speech.
There is nothing of moment at present
transpiring in the two Houses. The Sen
ate has sent back to the House the bill to
increase the paymasters, and refused to ac
cede to the House amendments. They will
do the same with the bill increasing the
Major Generals and Brigadiers.
Among the territorial business of the
House, the bills to admit Ioiva and Wiscon
sin into the Union, are the most important.
It is likely these bills will pass during the
bresent session.
We are of but one opinion in regard to
he correspondence of Gen. Scott with the
Secretary of War. It is the most absurd
aid peurile proceeding that lias come to light
f<r some time. The bombast and presump-
tiot ofthe first letter of the General is not
less remarkable than the meekness and the
craving craven spirit of the last. His fear
of b<ing run off the whig track for Presi-
dentiimomination, has made him morbidly
sensitive of political enemies in "his rear,”
and his valiant heroism in delaying the war
till September next, will give him a pass
port hereafter to all the peace societies of
New Engand, for their patronage and sup
port. Reaiy the great want of intellect,
the evident inbecility of these letters must
lay Gen. Scotx on the shelf hereafter with
his own party. FREE TRADE.
From the V. O. Delta, 9th inst.
The amiable wife of the brave but unfor
tunate Capt. Page—some of our cotempora
ries choose to call her his “lady”—arrived
here on Sunday, on her way to join her
husband at Point Isabel.
Here is a development of one ofthe traits
that attaches to the character of woman and
wife. The honor—the glory of her belov
ed hnsband.she sought not to share further
than it was reflected on her through the
sun of his fame; but when pain and sickness
overtake him, she hastens to alleviate his
sufferings and minister to his relief.
“The very first
Of human life must spring from woman’s breast,
Your first smallwords are taught you from her lips,
Your first tears quench’d by her and your last sighs
Too often breathed out in a woman’s hearing,
When men have shrunk from the ignobie rare
Of watching the last hour of him who led them.”

THE GEORGIA REGIMENT.
His Excellency, George W. Crawford,
arrived in this city on Saturday last, and has
made his headquarters at the Oglethorpe.
He is here for the purpose of having the
Georgia Regiment musterd into service,
and to make the necessary arrangements
for the departure of the troops to the seat
of War.
Col. J. H. Brown, of Baldwin, Col. Wm;
M. Brown, of Crawford, Col. D. Morgan,
of Troup, and Col. J. J. B. Hoxey, of Mus
cogee, are in attendance, as Aids to the
Governor. To Col. Hoxey was entrusted
the duty of mustering the companies into
service, as fast as they should come in.
The following companies arrived on
Tuesday—the “ Macon Guards,” Captain
Holmes, of Bibb ; the “ Fannin Avengers,”
Capt. Sargent, of Pike: the “ Richmond
Blues,” Capt. Dill, of Richmond. On yes
terday the “Sumter county Volunteers,”
Capt. Turner, and the “ Kenesaw Invinci-
bles,”Capt. Nelson, from Cobb county, and
tho “Jasper Greens,” Capt. Jackson from
Savannah, arrived, and were escorted to
their quarters by the Columbus Guards and
Georgia Light Infantry. This latter com
pany was mustered into the U. States ser
vice on Wednesday last, by Cols. Hoxey
and Wm. M. Brown, Aids to the Governor.
On yesterday the Richmond Blues, the
Macon Guards, the Fannin Avengers, were
mustered into service.
It will probably be the middle of the en
suing week before the regiment will take
up the line of march for Mexico.
We give below a list of the companies
and their officers, as far as we have been
able to ascertain them, up to the hour of go
ing to press, last evening. It is probable
that the election of the Regimental Officers
will take place to-day or to-morrow, al
though no order to that effect has yet trans
pired.

The following important intelligence has been com
municated to ns by our esteemed Pensacola corres
pondent:
Pensacola, June 5, 1846.
Messrs. Editors:—Yesterday afternoon we were
much surprised by the arrival of the steamer Missis
sippi, five days from Vera Cruz. She left last Sat
urday, 30th ult., having on board Dr. W. M. Wood,
U. S. N , bearer of despatches from the Pacific squad
ron; also Mr. Parrot, American Consul at Mazatlan;
and Mr. Diamond, our Consul at Vera Cruz. The
despatches are said to be of great importance. It is
said that the situation of our squadron in relation to
ably, is somewhat precarious. It is rumored that ns
soon as the English hear of the declaration of tvar a-
gainst Mexico, it will be the signal for them to take
possession of the whole coast, and that it is their in
tention to do so. If they do attempt it, look out for
hard knocks. Although Coin. Slont’s squadron is
diminished by the return of O'd Ironsides home, he
will, no doubt, when joined by Capt. Stockton, give
a good account of himself.
Dr. Wood left Mazatlan on the 30th April, made
the journey to Vera Cruz in thirty days, after being
detained five days on the road between San Bias and
Mexico. He states that in travelling through the
country, (not being known,) he d frequent oppor
tunities of conversing with and! • -ring the Mexicans
discuss the war. There were various opinions up
on the subject—some in favor of carrying it on to any
entent; others lukewarm and rather disposed against
it. Those in power seemed to be most ardent for its
continuance, for the purpose of retaining their offices.
He learned the news of General Taylor’s victories
and defeat ofthe Mexican army, before he reached
the city of Mexico. The authorities, who had heard
it endeavored to keep it quiet, and from the eats of
the people. It is supposed that when generally
known, it will not be received with much enthusiasm
by gallant “volunteers." I am rather inclined to
think with Pat, that they will have to force them to
turn volunteers, and bring them into the field tied in
pairs.
On the day of the sailing of the Mississippi, as she
was getting up steam, the barque Eugenia, Briscoe,
of New York, run the blockade. The sloop of war
Falmouth pursued her, firing at herVilhout effect;
she got in port in safety, and cxultingly displayed
her flags. She is the same barque that run the
French blocade. She will have to run the gauntlet
coming out, as every preparation is making to take
her. There is another barque expected with pow
der ; the squadron is keeping a good look out for her;
she must have light heels to get in if they send the
Somers after her.
Capt. Gregory had captured two Mexican vessels
of little value, which he released and sent into port.
In return for this civility, Gen. Bravo gave permis
sion to two American vessels that he had detained to
depart and wrote Capt. G. a complimentary letter,
offering to do any thing for him that he could, except
the furnishing him with supplies. ' Capt. G. replied,
thanking him, and stated that he was not in want of
any : when he was. he would take them. The
squadron had also taken two Spanish vessels. After
putting prize crews on board, they were given up
to the Spanish Commodore, who appeared quite an
gry at having done so. I suppose he will get over
his miff soon.
The John Adams left this afternoon with despatch
es and letters for the squadron below ; she will relieve
the Falmouth, which comes up here for supplies.—
The Cumberland (flag-ship) and Potomac will leave
Monday or Tuesday, having nearly finished taking in
their supplies of water provisions. The Mississippi
will follow as soon as she gets her coal in. So tho
harbor will be left naked again until the arrival of
the Falmouth. More anon. Truly yours, VV.

Who Disputes It? Nobody.—It has uow become
an, established fact that Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild
Cherry is the best remedy ever known for prevent
ing consumption by certainly and speedily curing
every disease that leads to this most fatal malady—
Coughs, Colds, Bleeding of the Lungs, Asthma, Liv
er Complaint, etc., etc., at once yield to its marvel
lous power—and scores of cases of supposed confirm
ed Consumption have been completely cured, after
the best physicians have declared that death was in
evitable. Mr. James Sage of Watertown N. Y., was
restored to perfect health by the Balsam after the best
doctors in Onedia County prouounced his case to be
a hopeless consumption. So of Thomas Cozens
of Haddonfield, N. J-. alter he had been given up
to die. See the published statements of each case—
so attested that all must believe.

No. 227, iu the 7th District, of originally Troup, that
said Lot was drawn by Moses and Levina Johnson,
orphans, of Manderson’s District, Wilkinson county,
and that by mistake it was granted to Moris and Le
vina Johnson of said District, and county, and that
the grant cannot be produced at this department for
correction.
It is therefore ordered, unless good cause be shewn
to the contrary within six months, that an alias grant
do issue for the said Lot to the rightful drawers of the
same, and that notice thereof be published in one of

INDIAN SPRING M
HOTEL.
T HIS Hotel, kept duringihe lastseasonby Meins-

of boarders and visiters. The rooms and furniture
have undergone a thorough renovation and repair,
rendering the accommodations superior to those of
any previous season. It will be tinder the manage
ment of Peter J. Williams and family, whose ser
vices have been procured in the Superintendence of
the establishment. Every offort will be made to give
general satisfaction to the patrons ofthe house.
Invalids affected with diseases, curable by the nse
of Mineral Water, wilt find at the Indian
Spring, the best perhaps, of any virtue in the United
States. Its long established notoriety as a place of
resort for health in the Summer months, and the ct-
librity of its medicinal qualities, with its locality, af
fording a healthy retreat, pleasant, pure air and fine
scenery, has heretofore drawn to it every season a
large number of Visiters for health and recreation.
With the assurance of superior accommodations, a
return of the patrons of tins Hotel, with others in
quest of a pleasant retreat, die enjoyment of the a-
musements, and the society of a Watering Place, ar6
invited to give us a call at the Indian Spriug. Be
sides the improvement in accommodations at the Ho
tel, arrangements for a pleasant test of the virtues of
this Water, have been made by the erection of new
and superior baths, with other conveniences hereto
fore neglected, constituting the grounds around the
Spring a more agreeable and pleasant resort.
Daily four horse Coaches run from the Spring to
Forsyth, 16 miles, connecting with the Rail-road Irom
Savannah to Atlanta.—The Spring is distant 28
miles from Covinglon, on the Georgia Rail-road—
from which place, comfortable conveyances can at all
times be obtained. It is expected also, that a Daily
Stage will shorlly be run, cither from that place or

ANALYSIS OF THE WATER OF THE
Indian Spring, Butts County, Ga.
An analysis was made in 1844 by Dr. Coding,
State Geologist of Georgia, and recently by Di.
Cooper, of Macon, formerly of Milledgeville. By
both, one pint wine measure, or 28,875 cubic inches,
was used. The result is as follows:

The medicinal qualities of the water are unques*
lionable and acknowledged by all Physicians acquaint
ed with it. Dr. Cooper in a late letter to the propri
etor of the Indian Spring Hotel, expresses himself as
follows, viz: “The benefits received by the many
valetudinary visitors, and tire numerous cures of the
most inveterate chronic affections of the liver, diges
tive organs, diseases of the skin, joints and general
nervous system resulting from the medicinal quality
of tho water preclude the possibility of its pop Pari
ty being eubuuced by the opinion of any professional
man. Suffice it (o say, that its mineral composition
approximates very nearly to a prescription of Dr.
Jas. Johnston, of London, the most distinguished
writer of the age upon the above diseases. Of this
prescription, as used by himself he observes, “he
would not be surprized from i(s general efficacy and
success, if some professional gentleman should seize
upon it, ride into popularity, and amass a fortune by
tho success arising from its extensive preparation,
circulation and sale."

N. Buchanan, deceased, late of Jasper county,
