pear. that Gen. Scott has discharged sever
al of the Regiments of Volunteers, and a-
mong them the Regiment from our own
State, which had arrived at Vera Cruz and
was waiting transports to convey it to New-
Orleans. This early discharge of the Vol

Scott, by the humane consideration,thatthey
should not he exposed later in tiie season,

Whether the army will proceed to tiie city

From Gen. Taylor, there is no recent in

Gen. Worth was expected to enter Puebla on the
17th inst. No resistance was anticipated at that place.
There was some expectation that the army would
march upon the Capital, but with diminished num

of volunteers, and the necessary detachments to guard
the cities of Jalapa, Perote and Puebla would leave
Gen Scott a force amounting to scarce six thousand
to advance upon the city of Mexico.

• FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO.
The Picayune has papers (brought by the way of

I find him engaged with the utmost diligence, at Ori-

say, incredible energy in repairing the losses he has
sustained, and ere this is no doubt at the head of an
army very considerable in numbers, however inferior
indiscipline. He is moreover, according to the pa
pers, granting permits to guerrilla bands. Being
straitened forfunds. he is said to h ive imposed on Or
izaba a loan of $1G,000. Below we copy a portion
of this letter:
‘ It appears that (he enemy, improving his triumph

D. Antonio Leon, and I can assure the President ; i| e .field or the hosts of widow
and religion—a war of races—a war of conqaeat and
for conquest alone—as the President’s war. and a
war that might have been avoided without national
disgrace—we believe to be contrary to the will of a
large majority not only of Democrats but of Whigs al
so, throughout the entire country; and that it is re
volting to the feelings of every true patriot, and lover
of Republican liberty, however strong his party bias
may be, to see the government of his native land held
up to the gaze of European crowned heads, as a
usurper, a haughty tyraut and conqueror, domineer
ing over its weak distracted neighbor, merely because
it possesses the physical power.
And whereas, we look upon such a mode of pro
ceeding as highly injurious to the cause of the nation
now engaged in a foreign war, with a cruel and obsti
nate enemy, as having a tendency to encourage the
Nation s enemy and protract the war unnecessarily,
thereby increasing the loss of life and expenditure of
treasure, and that we view such conduct in any A-
merican citizen with the deepest mortification.
And, whereas, we believe that if the federal govern
ment was administered by a Whig President and ad
ministration. that all their captious opposition would
cease, and that the war would be conducted with as
great vigor as the administration could exert, and that
the same presses which now resound with denuncia
tions of the war would be its warm and fast support-
e are therefore convinced, that it is not so much

Com Perry, commanding an expedition in person,
. sailed on Monday last, from this place, but for what
part or parts has not transpired. We suspect, how
ever, that he is bound for Huesacualcos, Frontera, La-
guana, Sisal and Campeachy.
The weather at this place has been very warm for
some days past, the thermometer averaging 95 at one
o clock in the afternoon. The city being built and
paved with such a large proportion of lime, reflects
the rays of the sun in a most intolerable degree.
We have heard of several cases of r omito, or what •,
is represented to oe that fatal disease, and it behooves '
all who regard the preservation of their health to be
on their guard in exposing themselves to the heat of
the sun, or indulging too freely in any excess.
Maj. Gen. Patterson arrived in this city, from Ja-
- lapa. on Saturday last, accompanied by the Tennes
see Cavalry. Since then the 1st and 2d Tennessee
Infantry, the 3d and 4th Illinois, the Georgia and Ala
bama regiments of Infantry, and the independent com
pany of Kentucky Volunteers, have arrived, all whom
had enlisted for twelve months, which time was near
ly expired. A great number of them embarked on
Monday and Tuesday, (yesterday.) and will all soon
set foot again upon their own native land.
Gen Patterson accompanies them to the United
States, but will return, we learn, to share in the per
ils and the glories yet to be encountered. This gal
lant General Reserves more gratitude, perhaps, than
any other” commander who has been in the service
during the present war. He has been a cripple for
several months, most of which time, his only means of
getting about, was by aid of crutches. During the
fiercest bombardment of this city, he was busy hob
bling about from one point to another, closely observ
ing. giving directions where it was necessary, and
performing all the duties appertaining lo his office,
with as much despatch as if attend ing to the common
est affairs of Pfe.
[for the federal union.]
Among the many subjects that occupy my atten
tion. the welfare of my country bears a proportionable
part. If you think the following worthy of an inser
tion m your columns, you are at liberty to give it a
place.
It appears to ine, that a change in our military dis
cipline would be proper, and as the Legislature is lo
meet this fall, I think it may not be amiss to lay this
subject before the people, that their representatives
may act upon it.
The plan I propose, is the following:
In place of having company and battalion musters,
as at present, I would recommand to bold camp-mus
ters, at the place of holding regimental musters, or if j
two regiments be in a county, let both regiments meet,
and hold a camp-muster once a year, say four days,
and five nights in a year; to meet in the summer after
crops are laid by. The men belonging to each com
pany, could meet on Monday evening, and have
carnp exercises attended to each night during the
camp, such as keeping a guard, standing sentry, &c.
for place
and love for the spoils of public office. We. therefore !
taking this view of the subject, most heartily abomi- I
nate such duplicity and deception, and especially i
when it is calculated to work such iireparable mis- J
chief to the cause of the nation at large. Yes, we say I
nation, we do not mean party, when our armies are !
in conflict upon the plains of Mexico with a foreign !
adversary, and it requires all the skill and power of
the country, to be put forth to sustain American arms
and the honor of the republic untarnished.
Therefore Pesolred. That we believe it to be a just
war, in defence of onr own rights,—one that the A-
merican people could not honorably avoid, as it was
forced on bv the act of Mexico.
Resolved, That we approve of its vigorous prose
cution, until our haughty enemy is forced to sue for
peace.
Resolved, That the President and his administration
have our sincere thanks, for tiie successful manner in
which the war has so far been conducted.
Resolved, That the officers and the army iu general
have our heart-felt thanks, for the glorious victories
obtained over vastly superior forces in point of num
bers, at the battles of Monterey, Buena Vista, and
Cerro Gordo, and in capturing the hitherto impregna
ble fortress of Vera Cruz.
The committee appointed to wait on the Hon.
Thomas F. Anderson, and inform him of the nomi
nation reported to the meeting that he positively de
clines accepting said nomination.
On motion, it was Resolved, That the proceedtngs
of this meeting be published in the Athens Banner,
and that the Conjtitntionaluf and Federal Union each
copy the same.
The meeting on motion adjourned.

BIBB REPUBLICAN MEETING.
Pursuant to a previous notice in the Macon Tele
graph. a respectable portion of the Democratic Re
publican Party of the county of Bibb, assembled at
the Court House or Saturday, tiie 15th instant.
On motion of Col. James Dean, Judge C. B. Cole
was called to the Chair, aud Geo. XV. Fish requested
to act as Secretary.
The meeting being organized, on ntolion of Col.
A. P. Powers, the Chair appointed a Committee of
seven to report the names of four suitable gentlemen
to represent the county of Bibb, as Delegates in the
Gubernatorial Convention to assemble in Milledge-
ville on the fourth Monday in June.
The Chair appointed Leroy Napier Robert Col-
lins, R. Bassett, A. P. Powers, James Dean. William
Mims, and 8. J. Hay, Esqs., as that Committee.
These gentlemen having w ithdrawn for a few mo- 1
ments. returned and reported the names of S. J. Ray,
A. P. Powers. James Smith and Robt. A. L. Atkin
son. F.sqs., as Delegates from the rouuty of Bibb, to
the Convention at Miliedgeville, which report was
adopted.
A motion was made by Richard Bassett, Esq , and
adopted by the meeting, that the Chair appoint a com
mittee of one, in each Magistrate’s District in this
county, for the purpose of selecting delegates from
each district, to meet delegates from the county of j
Twiggs, in a Convention to be held in the city of Ma- j
con, to nominate a candidate for the State Senate in I
this Senatorial district.
Under this motion, the Cii.air appointed Richard j

Esqrs., Messrs. Bagby and Brown.
The following preamble and resolutions were in- j
troduced by Geo. VV. Fish, Esq., and unanimously |
adopted by this meeting.
Whereas, we deem it altogether proper, for the 1
people, in their primary assemblies to give an ex- |
pression of opinion with regard to any and all matters
of general welfare. L
Be it therefore Resolved, That this meeting sees, j
with feelings of the highest gratification, the ad mint- !
ble operation, (under circumstances so peculiary try- j
ing)—the pre-eminent success—(so confidently pre
dicted)—of those great Republican measures, ihe
Constitutional Treasury, the W’are-houseing System !

fered greatly from-a severe cough, pain in the side,
difficulty of breathing, loss of appetite and other
symptoms which indicated a rapid decline, three of
the most learned and intelligent medical practictioners
in the city pronounced my case consumption, and
stated to me that nothing but a change of climc4e
could be of the least possible benefit to me as my
lungs were in a very inflamed and diseased state.—
At this time, in hopes that I might find some tempo
rary relief for my cough. I got a bottle of the Balsam,
which not only my failing strength required, but
seemed ’o give me new life and energy.
After taking several bottles of the medicine, my
appetite returned and with it my strength, my cough
entirely left me, as also the night-sweats, which previ
ous to this time had been very profuse. In five
weeks time I gained eight pounds of ftesh.and have
been able ever since to take tny accustomed exercise
a walk of from three to four miles a day, and attend
to my regular business. I should be most happy to
have you refer any one, who may wish further par
ticulars to me, at my place of business. No. 305

The following preamble and resolutions were on
motion of Col. Pittman read, and on motion of Rob
ert White the vote taken separately upon each, and
unanimously adopted by the meeting:
Whereas, the course pursued by almost the en
tile Whig press throughout the couutry, the Whig
members of both houses of Congress together with a
portion of the Whig party generally, in opposing the
present war with Mexico—denouncing it as unjust—
e»an unholy war—a wicked war—a war of language
those great measures and so zealously aided in their
adoption, arid to the present Republican administra
tion. who so ably advocated their adoption, aud since,
so successfully put them into operation.
Rcsolred, That this meeting regards the present
war with Mexico, as a just war on our part, and nec-
«- M ary. for »Lo purpose of repelling insult, injustice
and aggression and furthermore, that it is the sense of
this meeting, that the thanks of the whole country are
due to the present administration ar.d to our gallant
army in Mexico, for the unparallelled success with
which the war has been prosecuted—to the adminis
tration for the great wisdom and efficacy which has
thus far marked the general conduct of the war—lo
Gens. Taylor and Scoff, their officers and men, to
the whole American army, for that noble daring, that
chivalrous courage, that wonderful skill and in
domitable bravery which have so triumphantly borne
them on from victory to victory,and which have cov
ered not only themselves, but their whole country
with glory. *
Resolved, That, in view of the vast importance of
the great Democratic truths upon which the princi
ples of our party are based, and of the strict identity
between the ascendancy of those principles and the
welfare of our common country—we deem it the du
ty of republicans, to forget all minor differences in
our ranks, to bury all family quarrels (especially
when they do not involve our principles) and thus in
tent upon the common good, preserve entire, the
union, harmony and integrity of the great Democratic
Republican Party.
Resolved, That we recommend the spirit of the last
resolution, and the views therein expressed to the
most serious consideration of our Republican Breth
ren, not only in our own State, but throughout the
Union.
And on motion, it was farther

T HE Commander-in-Chier, having received a re
quisition from the President of the United State*
for a battalion of Infancy, and also a Company of
Mounted Y r ol*inteers, again appeals to the patriotism
of the people of Georgia. Extracts of the letter from
the YVar 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, will report directly to Head Quarters, to the end
that they may be forthwith ordered to the general
rendezvous, inspected and mustered intd the service
of the United States.
By order of the Colander in Cnilf,
JNO. H. BROWN, Aid-de-Camp.
“ As it is desirable that no time should be lost itf
raising this additional force, it is proposed to accept
and muster the volunteers by companies. Your Ex
cellency is therefor# requested to cause to be organ
ized in your State five companies of Infantry to serve
during the war with Mexico, unless sooner discharg
ed. Each company will cortsist 6f
J Captain,
1 Ejrst Lieutenanf,
2 Second Lieutenants,
4 Sergeants,
4 Corporals,
2 Musiciaus 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,
1 Quarter Master Sergeant,
1 Drum Major, and
5 Companies.
| “Should the number of companies here called for
! be raised, they will at once be orgainzed into a battal
ion, aud 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 a9 fast as they are raised, and mustered into
service, in which case they would be organized into
battalions and regiments on reaching the place ofdea-
| tination.
“Columbus is designated as the place of rendez-
j vous for the several Companies as fast as they shall
be organized, where they will be inspected ana 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 no man who is, in years, apparently
over forty-five or under eighteen, or who is not of
physic.al strength and vigor. To-this end the Inspec
tor will be accompanied by a medical officer of the
; army, and tiie volunteers will be submitted to hirex-
amination.
j “As all the Field and Company officers in the vol
unteers taken into the service of the United States un*
'■ der the act of the 13th May, 1816. (a copy of which
is enclosed.) must be appointed and commissioned,
or such as have beeu appointed and commissioned,
! in accordance with the Jaws ofthe 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 office r,
musician and private, three dollars and fifty cents per
montff during the time lie shall be in the service of
the United States. In order that the volunteers who
shall be musteMdinto service under this requisition
may be enabled to provide themselves with good and
sufficient clothing, the commutation allowance for six
months, (twenty-one dollars) will be advanced to each
non-Coraiiiissioned officer, musician aud private af
ter being mustered into service, but 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 by the Captain of the
Company—or that the amount thus advanced shall
be applied under the supervision ofhis 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.
j In respect to 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,
1 Farrier and Blacksmith, and
80 Privates.
| The proper officer of the Staff Department will be
immediately sentto the place ofreudezvous, with funds
to defray the necessary expenses which may be incur
red, agreeably to law.”

James Adger Pringle, and youngest child of Joel and

left behind her one child, too young to know its loss,
and a large circle of relatives and friends, whose be

deprived ol the devoted wife, the dutiful and affec

Bra it is a source of unspeakable consolation to know
that she died in the confident hope of eternal bliss,
and now forever lives “where sorrow aud sighing can
be no more; where the wicked ceaso from troubling,

improved during the season, and many additional at- |
tractions have been added, which cannot fail to inter- j
est visitors from abroad. An elegant fine of four !
horse Post Coaches will run daily during the season I
between the Springs and Forsyth—a distance of only
16 miles, and horses and carriagas may at any time j
be procured at the Springs by persons who are not
provided with private conveyances. He deems it
unnecessary to add that the waters at the above .
Springs are unsurpassed by any in the Southern j
States for their medicinal qualities.

Jaynes’ Hair Tonic.
W E know Dr. Quigley personally, and there ii
no man in the country whose opinion (^enti-
tied to more respect. He is on all subjects Donest
ami sincere, and his high character as a physician can
be attested by the first medical men in the city.—

Shepherd’s Town, Va , Oct. 10.1843.
Dear Sir,—You 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 yonr
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 since, its tendency to tarn
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
the present, where I know the article to be beneficial,
and that it can do no harm, I have no scruples insta
ting facts within my knowledge.
