iVIillcdgevillc vs. Macon.
An amusing discussion is going on be
tween the Journal & Messenger of Macon,
anil the Recorder of Milledgeville, on the
question, which of the two places affords
the most facilities for the publication of their
respective Journals. Botli have become
excited, but as the former has becomeertts-
ty and personal, it is a sure indication that
it has the worst of the argument. An ap
peal to facts should decide the question.—
Here, vve leceive the northern and western
mails daily, as they do in Macon, in time for
the paper issued on the following morning.
In the receipt of intelligence, then, there is
no difference. In sending oft’papers, which
has the advantage? Papers from this place, !
reach Gordon on the Central Railroad hy 7 !
o’clock on the morning of publication, and
are conveyed to all the offices below by the
same train that carries those from Macon.
Here then, they are equal. They reach
Macon between S and 9 o’clock the same I
day, anil are sent on the Macon and Wes
tern Railroad, the Florida line and all other
routes from that point, in the same mail that
carries the Macon papers, issued on the
same day. Here then, again, they are e-
qual. So tiiat the whole Southern, South
eastern. and South-western portions of the
State get their papers from this place, just ;
as soon as they can from Macon. How is
it with othei portions of the State? Our pa
pers reach Madison by dinner time on the
day of publication, and then are forwarded on
Federal Misrepresentations.
An effort is being made by the Wlii
press, and especially in this State, to iir
press upon the public mind, that the Demo- | the Georgia Road at each end, a long time
crats in the last Congress, passed a vote i.f before those from Macon can reach that
censure upon Gen. Taylor. Facts are mis- point. The same may be said of the route
represented, truth is perverted, and gross in- that goes to Monticello and Covington, as
nstire is done, as well to the motives as the well as of the route, via Sparta and War-
nets of those, towards whom odium is at- renton. The ti uth is, then, that Macon af-
tempted to be excited. The records of , fords no facilities that are not enjoyed here,
C ingress shew the following to be the true and that Milledgeville has many that Ma-
state of the case. A resolution was intro- con c nmot offer,
duced into the House of Representatives,
proposing, first, the thanks of Congress to
Gen. Taylor and his army, “for their cour
age. skill, fortitude and good conduct in the
n'nrniinn of Monterey” second, that a gold
medal should be presented to Gen. Tavlor,
and third, that the President should send a
copy of the resolutions to Gen. Taylor and
lhe army.
During the discussion of the resolutions,
tiie following proviso was offered and to
gether with the resolutions adopted by a
vote of 103, to 62:
Provided, that nothing herein contained, shall he
- onstro. d into an approbation of the terms ol the ca
pitulation of Monterey.
Here is
censure it ran be called, that has been im
paled by Democrats in Congress to Gener- \
al Taylor.
Now it will be remembered, tiiat when j
'■iic intelligence of the battle at Monterey i
reached this country, almost universal as-
lonishmetit was excited that Gen. Taylor
should have permitted the pi isoners to have
retired with their arms and ammunition.
1 oi a long time, and even at the period
when the discussion arose in Congress, the j
motives that prompted the liberal terms ;
granted to the enemy, were involved in pro- !
lound mystery. All admired the valor of j
our gallant army, and honored the veteran i
that iiad led them on to victory. None, how- j
ever, were disposed to censure, for they ’
"ere ignorant of the facts necessary to form
a cuirect opinion. This was the view taken
of the whole subject, by those in Congress !
"ho voted for the proviso. They applaud- i
ed Gen. Taylor for his “courage, skill'’ &c., j
bur they expressed no opinion with regard j fAv
to the terms of the capitulation. To shew
that we are not mistaken in this view, we
append an extract ftom a speed
shortly after the vote was taken by Judge
Douglas. hat then becomes of the
charge of the federal press, that a Demo
cratic Congress pronounced its censures
upon Gen. Taylor:

the administration of justice in Georgia. Many of the
j opinions are excellent, both in matter and in style,

j level with the best of our judicial productions. I am

MAJOR FANNIN, LATE COLLECTOR.
Congress passed an act in July, 1846, for the relief
of Major Abraham B. Fannin, formerly Collector of
the Customs for this District.
The Secretary of the Treasury was thereby au
thorized to settle upon principles of Justice and equi
ty, the aeeouuts of Major Fannin, as late collector,
provided that the credits to be given in the settlement
abould not make any balance due from or payable by
the United States to the late collector.
In eooforiniiy with the powers vested in the Secre
tary. a Rill and just settlement has been made, and
we. in common with the numerous friends of Major
Fannin, congratulate hi:u on an issue so gratifying to
an honorable and high-minded citizen. We with
pleasure publish the following :

Lewis Solomon, Secretary
violent cough soon came on. He was soon confin
ed to his room, and continued to grow worse for a-
bouisix weeks, when he had become too weak to sit
up, and had night-sweats. The cough was almost
constant, and he daily expectorated large quantities
of matter from the lungs which were evidently in a
state of ulceration. Several Physicians pronounced
him ilia quick Consumption and past relief, and declin
ed giving him medicine. One of my neighbors had
been cured of au alaiming cougliby the BALSAM
OF WILD CHERRY', and I was advised to try it.—
I procured a bottle, aud after using it a few days, to
our joy and surprise he began to amend, and iu a few
weeks after using nearly four bottles, he icas entirely
cured and able to work on the firm.
As he took no other medicine after being given up
than Wistar s Balsam of Wild Cherry to that alone
do 1 ascribe the merit of restoring him to health.

Head Quarters, ?
Milledgeville, April 23d, 1847. )
T HE Comuiander-in-Chief, having received a re
quisition from the President of the United Stales
for a battalion of Infantry, and also a company of
Mounted Volunteers, again appeals to the patriotism
of the people of Georgia. Extracts of the letter from
lhe War Department are annexed as explanatory of
the mode of organization, the term of service, the
place of rendezvous, and other subjects relating to the
required battalion and company.
Companies when organized for the proposed ser
vice. willreport directly to Head Quarters, to the end
that they may be forthwith ordered to the general
rendezvous, inspected and mustered into the service
of the United States.
By order of the Commander in Chief,
JNO. H. BROWN, Aid-de-Camp.
“As it is desirable that no time should be lost iu
raising this additional force, it is proposed to accept
and muster the volunteers by companies. Your Ex
cellency is therefore requested to cause to be organ
ized in your State five companies of Infantry to serve
during the war with Mexico, unless sooner diacharg-
ed. Each company will cousist of
I Captain.
1 First Lieutenant,
2 Second Lieutenants.
4 Sergean's,
4 Corporals,
2 Musicians and
80 Privates,
A Battalion will consist of
1 Lt. Colonel or Major.
1 Adjutant (a Lieutenant of one of the com
panies, but not in addition.)
1 Sergeant Major,
I Quarter Master Sergeant,
1 Drum Major, nnd
5 Companies.
“Should the number of companies here called for
be raised, they will at once be organized into a battal
ion, and your Excellency is requested to commission
the Field and Company officers. It may become ne
cessary to order the several companies to the scene of
action as fast as they are raised, and mustered into
service, in which case they would be organized into
battalions and regiments on reaching the place of des
tination.
“Columbus is designated as the place of rendez
vous for the several Companies as fast as they shall
be organized, where they will be inspected and mus
tered into service by an officer or officers of the Unit
ed States army, who will, in every case be instruct
ed to receive uo man who is, iu years, apparently
ov*» r forty-five or under eighteen, or who is not of
physical strength and vigor. T«* tLl« Pnd the Inspec
tor will be accompanied by a medical officer or ihe
army, and the volunteers w ill be submitted to his ex
amination.
“As all the Field end Company officers in the vol
unteers taken into the service ofihe United States un
der the act of the I3lh May, J816, (a copy of which
is enclosed.) must be appointed and commissioned,
or such as have been appointed and commissioned,
in accordance with the laws ofihe- State from whence
they .are taken—I beg to suggest the extreme impor
tance to the public service that the officers for the ad
ditional force here requested be judiciously selected.
“The law provides for the pay, clothing (in money)
and suhsistance to the non-commissioned officers,
musicians and privates of volunteers when received
into the service of the United States.
“In respect to clothing, the law requires that the
volunteers shall furnish their own clothing, for which
purpose it allows to each non-commissioned officer,
musician and private, three dollars and fifty cents per
month during the time he shall be in the service of
the United States. In order that the volunteers who
shall be mustered into service under this requisition
may be enabled to provide themselves with good and
sufficient clothing, the commutat’on allowance for six
months, (twenty one dollars) will he advanced to each
non-Conimissioned officer, musician aud private af
ter being mustered into service, bnt only with the ex
press condition that the volunteer has already fur
nished himself with six months clothing—this fact to
be certified to the Paymaster hy the Captain of the
Company—or that the amount thus advanced shall
be applied under the supervision of his captain to the
object contemplated by law In this latter case the
advance commutation for clothing will be paid on the
Captain’s certificate that he is satisfied it will be so
applied.
In respect fo subsistence before arriving at the
place of rendezvous, and for travelling home from the
place of discharge, the allowance is fifty cents for ev
ery twenty miles distance.
Your Excellency is further requested to cause to be
raised and organized for the war, one company of
mounted volunteers, to consist of
1 Captain,
1 First Lieutenant,
2 Second Lieutenants
4 Sergeants,
4 Corporals,
2 Buglars,
I Farrier and Blacksmith, and
80 Privates.
The proper officer of the Staff Department will be
immediately sentlothe place ofrendezvous, with funds
to defray the necessary expenses which may be incur
red, agreeably to law.”

Jaynes’ Hair Tonic.

no man in the country whose opinion is enti

Dear Sir,—Yon enquire of me whether I have used
your Hair Tonic, and with what effect.
Several years ago my hair began to fall rapidly
from the scalp, and I had the prospect of premature
baldness. At length a friend recommended your
Hair Tonic. I used three or lour bottles, according
to the printed directions, and at the end of six months,
my hair was thick set, and siuce, its tendency to turn
grey was arrested.
1 have never before given a certificate, recommend
ing patent medicines which indiscriminately used,
as they often are, do much injury; but in a case like
tiie present, where I know the article to be beneficial,
and that ircan do no harm, I have no scruples in sta
ting facts within my knowledge.
Yours, 6lc.,
JOHN QUIGLEY, M D.
