I'he rapid disappearance of the pine forest, un
tier the axe of tlx* planter and timber-getters of
Southern States, known as tire yiiltnr pine. among
sliip-buiidors, is beginning to attract the attention
of the public.

The appalling loss of life on the “Central Amer

steamship navigation. The nearest is the disaster
which befel the steamship Arctic, on the 27th of
■September, 1854, by which something like three
hundred and titty lives wore lost. The steamship
Sau Francisco, belonging to the Pacific Mail
Steamship company, which foundered in the At

circumstances similar in many respects to the dis

Grorgia-mndc Wine.
TVe tasted last week of some wine made from
grapes raised by Mr. Felix Simpson, of Hancock
county. Mr. Simpson assured us that the wine
was made of the Devereaux grape, aud that there
was nothing but the pure juice of the grape and
sugar in its composition. In our estimation, it
was as good w-ine as we ever tasted. We hope the
time is not far off when we shall have large quan.
titles of such w-ine made in Georgia.
Tiie ISntllc in over.
Before our readers out of the county see this pa
per, the votes will all have been counted out, and
the contest decided. We entertain no doubt as to
the election of Judge Brown by a very largo ma
jority—ten or twelve thousand—the election of a
Democratic Legislature, with from fifty to seven
ty-five majority on joint ballot, and six Democratic
Congressmen certain, perhaps eight. Ifthe result
does not show our calculation to be near right, then
wo have widely mistaken popular sentiment. It
is well that there is no chance for Ben Hill’s elec
tion. He has neither the dignity nor character for
the office of Governor of Georgia. He is a very
small potatoe politician to say the best, and has
conducted this campaign with a degree of reckless
ness and littleness, so to speak, that would have
disgraced a candidate for constable. Rucli a man
cannot be the choice of a high minded and intelli
gent people for their chief magistrate. We are
pretty sure he is badly beaten by Judge Brown,
and will retire to the shades of private life, minus
the office he craved, and his own self respeet. To
the credit of his party organs it may be said that
he lias far outstripped all of them, even the Chron
icle A Sentinel, in political and personal detraction of
his honorable opponent.
Communicated.
Messrs. Editors:—Please publish this letter
which shall be very short. It has been reported
that since I heard Mr. Ben Hill speak at Cool
Springs, Wilkinson county, I have deserted my
party and gone over to his support. Th*f re
port is false from beginning to end. I never felt
prouder of belonging to the Democratic party than I
do at this time.every day I feel more thoroughly con
vinced ot the rectitude of their course.and of their
unceasing devotion to the Constitution of the United
States, that sacred chart bequeathed to us by our
ancestors after the revolution, and the best scheme
for human government ever devised by man—as
long as they stick to that, I will slick to them, Mr.
Hill’s advice to the contrary notwithstanding, in
deed. unless Calhoun was deceived, “a strict ad-
| hearance to the constitution” is one of the dis
tinguishing characteristics of the Democratic p*r-
I ty; it is our mark and brand: and all Mr. Hills e!o-
! quenee, and all his sophistry, and ingenuity, and
anecdotes, and abuse, and slangw /iungerv, has not
lessened my confidence in the integrity aud con
servatism of our chief magis'rnte aud his cabinet.
As for Mr. Brown, I am for him as firm as the
Cherokee hills he lives among—I swaped votes
with a Bartow man, I agreed to vote for Hill,
if lie would vote fop Seward,I gave my reason at the
time, that Brown wuuld get elected easy enough
without my vote, and Seward might need all lie
could get. This was done with the hope of help
ing the Democratic cause a little, and before Mr.
Hill spoke at Cool Springs.

Calcutta.
Calcutta, June 3, 1852.
Mr Dear Jci.iAtr:—I d--«ire, for ilie information of
Perry 1>« via & Son, to state a few instances of good
resulting from tiie ti.se of tiie medicine manufactured
by them called Pain Killer. The first ease that I shall
mention in which I performed a cure was that of
1 >en,ofa year’s standing. The person afflicted with
tiie* disease was a young native. Together with the
s lie used to get a fever. Before trying the Pain
K.ih-r, however, I adopted another remedy, but that
ruling, I resorted to the Pain Killer, and I am happy to
K1 .V, that both the Spleen and the fever were removed
m a very short time. A servant boy who had his right
hand severely scalded by the falling of boiling oil on it,
"us in a few days perfitlly cured by tbe application of
a mixture of Cream aud Pain Killer, as di reeled in such
' i 1 ' -s. Then my ehild. a girl three years old, was cured
1 • an obstinate Cough. Lastly, I shall refer to myself—
1 took the medicine under circumstances which it would
• - Hums <s -:ry here to state—but il was not from any
- h.dence I had in it; on the contrary, I took it with a
r t deal of fear—however, I must own that it several
- s relieved me of cold in tin^chest—aud it cured me
"* *i i \er—of rain in the left knee—and an ulcer iu the
i -ath. In addition to the above I may mention a en«e
' I cholera cured by this medicine, which was brought
: ” my notice by a friend- The coachman of my friend’s
brother-in-law was attacked wit 1 * this disease, and
-- 1 h'-itu.- kept by my friend's family for this complaint
’ -T<1 ‘ given to the man without any effect, and, as the

An Appeal to She Ladies of the Mouth.
YVe give below an address of Mrs. McGruder,
wife of the Mayor of Washington City .which wo
find in the Union, to the women of the South, in be
half of the helpless and destitute family of Capt.
Herndon, whose sad fate has already been made
known to our readers. It is an undying honor to
the noble Commander of the Central America, that
while more than four hundred men. himself among
the number, perished in the sea, not one woman or
child was lost. This noble man and gallant sea
man, was at his post throughout that trying con
test with the elements, and never left it until the
vessel went down and the waves closed over him
forever. He has gone. But his memory should
ever he green in the hearts of the mothers and
daughters of America. Let them respond to the
eloquent appeal of Mrs. Mayor McGruder. and tlms
at once honor themselves and alleviate the distress
of her whose stay and support has been so sud
denly and sadly removed.
But to the address. Will not the true hearted
ladies of Milledgeville respond to it!
Washington, Sept - 22, 1857.
The undersigned has read with the most painful
emotions of the loss of the steamer Centra] Ameri
ca, and sincerely deplores the sad fate of her pas
sengers, suddenly cut off, “in health and hope,” by
one of those fearful hurricanes which iu the past
few years have made so many hearths desolate,
and so many hearts to mourn.
But, mid the gloom and horror of that dreadful
night, there is one gleam of glorious light—one
gallant, noble,chivalrous action that will stand out
in bold relief, and raise for its author a monument
as enduring as time, indestructible as mind; its
base resting in tbe hearts of women, and its apex
as elevated as her hopes. “Save the women and
children” was the first order of the noble Herndon;
ami shall American women forget the gallant, the
noble captain who, mid gloom, and desolation,
forgetful of himself, conld think of poor frail
woman and helpless children? Never! no, never!
I propose to my countrywomen that a meeting
he called la each city and village in the United
States, and that funds be collected and transmitted
to George W. Riggs, banker iu Washington, to be
invested for the use of the wife and daughter of
Capt. Henidorn, late of the United States navy—
Let us do something to show our gratitude to one
who in time of trouble sacrificed himself to his duty
and to woman.

An Important Document.
In view of the election which takes place on the
first Monday in Oct., Governor Walker has issued
a proclamation to the people of Kansas. It will be
seen fiom tbe following extract which we make
from the proclamation, that the Governor has
been misunderstood by many at tbe South, on
an important point, viz, the qualifications of
those who should be allowed to vote on the
Monctrary.—At 11 o’clock to day the Bank of
Washington suspended specie payments upon all
checks and notes above five dollars; and soon there
after the Patriotic Bank acted in like manner.—
The Bank of the Metropolis has not, at the moment
we write, (1 o'clock,) followed this example,
aud it is understood that it does not propose doing
so.
These events have produced very little excitement.
They u^re expected, and they do not lead any
one to suspicion of the solvency of the banks. In
deed, it seems to be regarded as a wise, prudential
course, and there is no doubt that the confidence of
the community will be fully maintained by every
institution that shall pursue an above-board and
fair dealing policy.
Inconvenience will, of course, be sustained by
many business men; but it is hoped that a spirit of
forbearance and accommodation may everywhere
prevail, and that every possible effort may be
made to abridge the period of this temporary in
terruption to the business facilities of the commun
ity.— H ash. Star.
The Last Hope Gone.—A faint hope has been in
dulged that the vessel seen near the wreck of the
Central America, when she went, down, had saved
Captain Herndon and other sufferers, but she has
arrived at Boston without a single one of them
The following paragraph extinguishes the last
hope:

known schooner which passed under the stem of
the Centra! America on the evening of her wreck,
and regarding which mention has been made in
several of the statements of passengers, &c.,
proves to have been the schooner El Dorado, Cap
tain Stone. She arrived at this port this after
noon, and her captain makes the following report:
“On the 11th instant) when in latitude 29.40,
longitude 78j.20,Bwe experienced a terrible hurri
cane, during the prevalence of which we lost our
mainsail. On the 12tli, at 6.30 P. M., when in
latitude31.25, longitude 77. 10, spoke the steamer
Central America, the wind at the time blowing a
gale. YYe laid under her lea until 9.30 the follow
ing morning. Her lights disappeared at 7.45 the
previous evening. Wore ship and run as near as
possible to the spot, but saw nothing of the wreck
or passengers either from the deck or alott.”«
It had been fondly hoped that this schooner (the
lights of which were still seen by some of the
rescued after the wreck) had succeeded in pickin
up some of the unfortunate passengers, but she
neither brings none, nord'd she see any thing of
them or the vessel on the morning following the
the distressing calamity. The painful inference,
therefore, is that the remainder of the passengers,
officers, and crew will never be heard from more
The Grand Lodge of the United States continued
its session in Baltimore yesterday. The matter of the
Howard Lodge of South Carolina was taken up. This
Lodge made a donation to a brother, who was in bad
health, for the purpose of aiding him in travel. He was
in arrears with the Lodge, which was afterwards paid
up, yet he was not restored to benefits. Exceptions
were taken to this donation and an appeal entered with
the Grand Lodge of South Carolina, which decided that
donations are not within the scope of Odd Fellowship.
From action of the G. L. an appeal was taken to a higher
body, (the Grand Lodge of the United States,) and they
yesterday decided that they regard a wise and prudent
dispensation of donations an integral portion of the
order—one on whieh most of its reputation for benefi
cence has been erected, and one the destruction of
which would carry with it the whole claim the order
has to be regarded as an institution devoted to charit
able purposes. A resolution was therefore passed re
versing the decision of the Grand Lodge of South
Carolina.— IVashingion£iening Star, Sept. 25.
Cotton’ Manufactures in the South.—The
papers of Northern Mississippi, especially of Grena
da, are doing their best to wake up the people of
that section on this subject. There is certainly no
reason why cotton manufactories should not be es
tablished throughout the South. There is every
where an abundance of water, a healthful and favor
able climate, and once in operation the labor can
not be wanting. Besides, the experiment has
been already tried, and found successful. There
are one or two factories now, we believe, in Mis^
sissippi, which pay as well as any other permanent
investment in the State, and the same may be said
of the well known and prosperous ones in the
State of Georgia. The proposition, therefore, is
not only a patriotic, but every way a wise one.—
—St. Louis Leader.
A Significant Fact.—The Richmond Dispatch
says:—The last New Y’ork Independent, a paper
which serves God and Mammon,being the organ of
new light religion aud of the “commercial agen
cies,” (espionage houses) in New York, publishes a
list of the mercantile failures and suspensions that
took place during the previous month in all quar
ters of the country. The number is eighty-six in
all; and only eleven of them are doing business
south of Mason and Dixon’s line. This is a sig
nificant commentary’ on the persistent misrepre
sentation by the Black Republican papers of the
business habits of the Southern merchants.—Col.
Sun.
A id and Comfort to the Enemy.—A correspondent
of the Loudon Daily News states, as a fact within
his own knowledge, that a mercantile house in
Calcutta has actually sold a thousand Millie rifles
to the natives, and that no attempt has been made
by the local government to check the sale, which
is still proceeding. This is certainly very extra
ordinary, as both the government and the mer
chants must know that every one of these rifles
will be employed against the English. The Spec-
adoption or rejection of the constitution of Kan-1 tator sa y S “ t ] ie Government might have prohibited

Important Pension Decision.—The telegraph in
forms the distant papers of the following impor
tant opinion of the Attorney General;
“The Secretary of the Interior recently submit
ted to the Attorney General the question whether
the practice heretofore prevailing in the Pension
Oflice^of allowing the children of Revolutionary
soldiers to receive the pension which their deceas
ed parents might have received, was according to
law. The Attorney Gent ral to-day rendered his
opinion, declaring that the practice lias no legal
foundation and that neither children nor grand
children have any such right under the acts of
Congress. 'The consequence of this will be to
reverse a practice of the Pension Oflice which has
continued for twenty-five years. The Attorney
General gives the law, but declines to say whether
the law should abolish the practice or the practice
defeat the law, leaving that as an administration
question to the Secretary himself.”

To (hr people of Kansas.
Lecompton, K. T., Wednesday, Sept. 16, 1357.
The first Monday in October, 1857, is the day as
signed by law for the election, by the people of
this Territory, of a delegate to the Congress of
the United States, both branches of the Territorial
Legislature, and various county offices. As the
Governor of Kansas, numerous aud urgent calls
have been made upon me by various public meet
ings and committees, by some of the judges of
elections, as also by many citizens, to communi
cate my views iu relation to the qualifications of
voters at that election, as also in regard to the leg
islative apportionment, and the establishment of
voting precincts.
As to the aportionment, the Territorial election
law of the 20th February, 1857, requires it to be
taken under the Territorial Convention Act of the
Dili February, 1857. The returns were made un
der that census, and the apportionment for that
Convention fixed by the acting Governor, long be
fore my arrival in this Territory; and of course,
over that matter I have no control whatever.—
While it was a cause ofdeep regret to him, as well
as to myself, that the census and registry were so
incomplete in many counties organized as election
districts under that law, and entitled to vote for del
egates to the Conventioh, there was neither census
registry, and therefore, that they could not partici
pate in any manner in the choice of delegates
on that most important occasion, yet no power
to remedy the evil was vested by law, either in
him or me.
The only remedy rests with the Convention
itself, by submitting, if they deem best, tbe Con
stitution for ratification or rejection to the votes of
the people, under such just and reasonable quali
fications as they may prescribe. That they would
pursue this course 1 have never doubted, and al
though I have no right whatever to interfere in
that question, yet, when my- individual opinion
was asked on this subject by members of the Con
vention and others, I have always indicated a pre
vious residence of three or six months prior to the
vote upon the adoption of the Constition, as most
just and reasonable, a period of three months be
ing prescribed by the Convention law itself, as the
prior residence required in voting for delegates to
the Convention, and six months being designated
bv the Territorial Election laws as the previous
residence required in voting for members of the
Territorial Legislature.
Either of those qualifications, in my opinion,
would have embraced the great body of tbe bona
fide settlers who might be here this Fall, inasmuc:
as the Convention would probably not- terminate
their labors and submit the Constitution until sorm
time in November, and Inasmuch as three or six
months would probably be granted by them as an
interval between the date of submission and the
vote upon the Constitution. I repeat, however,
the opinion always heretofore expressed by me,
that this is a matter which belongs exclusively to
the Convention, over which I have no power, ex
cept, in the language of the Kansas-Nebraska act,
to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,”
Voluntary Enslavement.—Elizabeth Bick-
ley, a free girl of color, aged about 22 years, volun
tarily went into slavery at the present term of the
Abiugdon Circuit Court. She was bought by Capt.
Samuel Skinner, Sheriff of that county.
This is the first instance of the kirid we have
heard of, says the Abingdon Democrat, in this
end of the State. The woman is very intelligent,
and was fully aware that a kind master was better
able to provide and care for bet than she was her
self. This is a nut for Yankee philosophers to
crack.
IVashingtou Monument.—Preparations have al
ready been commenced to raise the Statue of
Washington to its destined place, on the apex of
the monument. It is, as most persons are aware,
due here on the 1st of October, having been started
on its way in the Dutch Brig Walburg, nearly two
months since. At the same time that Washington
assumes his proper position, it is presumed that his
compeers, Jefferson and Henry, now on the steps
of the Capitol, will be lifted into theirs.— The
South.
The Yankees at Sebastopol.—We understand that
letters have been received from Sebastopal anoun-
cing that Col. J. E. Gowen. whose comp my have
the sole contract with tbe Russian Government to
raise tbe sunken ships of war in the harbor of Se
bastopol has been indneed to make an arrange
ment with tire Boston Submarine Company, ter
minable at his pleasure, by which the latter com
pany are to assist in raising the vessels, and were
about to commence on a small war steamer, pay
ing their own expenses and receiving one-third of
proceeds. The prospects of ultimate success in the
enterprise are ri presented as flattering. Woik will
be continued until about .Christmas, when the
vessel will be laid up for two months. The socoud
barque of the expedition “Out Union,” sailed from
Constantinople about the middle of August, and
doubtless reached Sebastopol a few days thereafter
It contained all the heavy material for raising the
sunken vessels.—Poston Trarellor.
Loss of tue Steamer Norfolk.—The North
ern papers contain the particulars of the loss of
the steamship Norfolk, which, in the late gale, was
lost in the Chesapeake Bay, while on her passage
from 1’biladelpbia tc Norfolk. The steamer, on
which there was a valuable freight and a laq
number of passengers, went to pieces in th
storm. The passengers and crew having taken to
e boats, were picked up by the steamers Joseph
* itney and Caledonia, and taken into Philadel-
ua-
Savannah Banks.—The Savannah Republican
alluding to the panic, says.
In the almost general derangement of the finan
cial affairs of the country, we are gratified to be
able to state that the Banks of this city remain
firm, and without the slightest apprehension from
the less auspicious state of affairs at the North and
elsewhere. We think the public need feel no un
easiness on their account.

The Providence Journal says that no better de
scription of the market in that city can be given
than is conveyed in the fact that the second week
has passed without the sale of a single piece of
printing cloth. Money is at “unmitigated” prices
There is a very small stock of cotton on hand, and
the manufactures are working down with no dis
position to renew their business while the present
panic lasts.
Negro Convict«.—YYe learn from the Richmond
‘South” that thirteen slaves have recently been
brought out of the penitentary of Virginia, con
ditioned that they be transported. These con
victs, we doubt not, will be brought to the more
Southern States for sale. We do not know’, says
the Montgomery Messenger, that the laws of our
State make any provision for the punishment of a
trader who sells such convicts; if they do, it certain
ly ought to be rigidly enforced; and if they do not,
the evil ought to be remedied at the next meeting
of the Legislature, with the same haste that the
emission in the code to exempt a hundred bushels
of corn was attended to by our old friend Kelley, of
Jefferson. The thirteen penitentiary “peculiar
institutions” would soon corrupt as manv hundreds
of good negroes. We hope they will not be
brought to Alabama.—Mobile Mercury,
To Superintendents of Elections.—The Rome
Southerner calls the attention ot superintendents
of election to the following; “It is necessary, when
election for Governor occurs for the superinten
dents to send up three several returns, one of
which is deposited in the Clerk’s office, one of
which is sent to the President of the -Senate, and
the other to the Executive Department. It is
very important that this duty should not be over-
loooked. as not attending to it might vitiate the
election,”
Elections in October.—Elections for State officers
wall take place on the second Tuesday in October,
in Pennsylvania Ohio and Iowa. In the same
month elections take pla^e in Mississippi and
Minnesota. The Congressional elections close
in November, with Maryland and Louisiana. The
election in Kansas for territorial officers, takes
place next Monday.
Relic of the Central America.—Mr. Wm. BisilOP,

Extension of Discount in New York.—New Y'ork,
Sept. 29—p. m.—The presidents of the banks this

$3,0i)0,000 into circulation in the city.

PRESE.tTlHE.VT8.
The Grand Jurors of Putnam county for the
present term of the Court, in the conclusion kf
their duty make the following general Present
ments;
They have through their respective Committees
examined the Books of the Clerks of the Superior
and Inferior Courts, and they are found to be
neatly and correctly kept, in such a manner as to
reflect a high degree of credit upon those worthy
aud competent, officers.
The Committee appointed to examine into the
condition of the public buildings report that the
Court House is in a good state of repair, except
one of the Jury boxes and a few broken glass iu
some of the windows, all of which we hope will be
immediately repaired.
They report also that th6 Jail House is in good
and safe condition and neatly kept, but some of
the out houses aud especially the smoke house,
needs immediate repairs, or a new one built which
would be perhaps better.
The public roads generally are reported as not
being in very creditable condition, and the Road
from Eatonton to Dennis’s Mill on Indian Creek
is said to be in very bad order. We recommend
and insist that the proper authorities will look af
ter and see that this and other public roads need-
1 it will be put in immediate good repair.
There arc other interests of the county which
the jury did not specially examine into as it
was thought to bo more properly the business of
tiie Jury for the March term of the Court.
Feeling a deep interest in the public morals of
our county and tiie varied interest of our fellow-
citizens, we have made diligent enquiry into
the violation of the criminal law, and we regret
to say that the conviction lias been forced upon
our minds that there is an increasing disposition
in some parts of our county to totally disregard
the reasonable provisions of the law on the subject
of selling spirituous liquors to negroes. There
are tiiose among us who are utterly indifferent to
the obligations of a solemn oath; reckless of the
rights and interests of their neighbors and fellow-
citizens. and seemingly dead to the sacredness of
the Sabbath day, and as such, we have diligently
sought by ail the means within our power, that
our limited time and other pressing engagements
would allow, to “hunt them down” and bring them
to the punishment of a violated law, and the in
dignation and contempt of the people, and we flat
ter ourselves that if we can have the cooperation
ofijhose Jurors who may bo called to pass upon
these cases finally, we will have done some
thing towards eradicating this prolific source of
evil in our county; but convinced as we are, that
the offenders can rarely ever be detected, and seeing
the increasing impious effects that this unhallowed
traffic has upon our negro population as well as
the children of our friends and neighbors, we are
disposed to strike at the root of the evil, and drive
it if possible from the County, especially from
those portions of the county where a majority of
the people desire that it should not exist. We
therefore recommend to our Representatives in the
next Legislature to use their best efforts to secure
the passage of a law that will authorize the ma
jority of the legal voters in each District in our
county, to say whether they will or will not have a
retail grocery in their District.
This we considet fair and just, and founded up
on the principles of pure Republicanism, that the
majority shall govern, and that majority composed
of persons directly interested in the matter.
We also recommend to our Representatives in
the next Legislature to use their best efforts to
secure the passage of a law preventing the em
ployment in our county of negroes as Clerks or
Tapsters, or in any other capacity to sell spiritu
ous liquors.
YVe also feel called upon to say that in onr
opinion there has been great negligence and care
lessness manifested in the sale of poisonous drugs
to negroes and other reckless characters, and
that we utterly deprecate the. dangerous practice
as being highly improper and whilst we are con
vinced that there has been no criminal intention
of injury to any person, yet there has been culpa
ble neglect and indifference, whieh calls for our
severest reprimand.
In parting with his Honor Judg“ Hardeman,
we take pleasure in expressing a high apprecia-
ciatiou of his eminent ability and constant appli
cation to the business of the Court. We also
tender to the Solicitor General, Mr. Lofton, our
thauks for his courteous attention to our body.
YVe request that theso Presentments be publish
ed in th3 Federal Union and Southern Recorder.

A BARGAIN! *
THE Subscriber offers for sale a valu
able Tract of Land, containing three or four hun
dred acres, nearly one half of which is in the woods
aud heavily timbered—oue and three quarter mile*
from Milledgeville. Some of the cleared Laud is
on the Oconee River, and is valuable for cultiva
tion. Tbe Dwelling House is a very good one, and
could at a trifling expense be made very desirable,
with the necessary out buildings. The land is w?ll
watered by Spyugs and Branches, and is valuable
on account of its contiguity to Milledgeville, where
wood and every thing else find a ready market at
high prices. I will sell the premises very low.—
Mr. P. M. Compton will show the Land to any one
wishing to see it. M. J. KENAN.
