THE TELEGRAPH.
MACON FRIDAY, AUGUST 18.18C9.
To Mew Snlxcrlben to the Weekly,
The accessions to our weekly subscription
list, between the printing of the outside and in
side of this edition,, have been more numerous
-than we made allowance for, and therefore wo
shall be unable to - Bend the present number of
the Weekly Telkobaph to every one of the new
subscribers. We win, however, send them the
Semi-Weekly until we print the next edition of
the Weekly. One county Bince our last edition
of the Weekly sent us sixty-five new subscribers.
The School Fair at Marietta, beginning 17th
instant, (next Tuesday) affords to those who
have been cramped np in the city during the
season an opportunity of a pleasant excursion.
The Western A Atlantic railroad only charges
fifty cents from Atlanta to Marietta, during the
days of the fair, and passengers are returned
free, on the certificate of the Superintendent of
the Fair.
In case there should be any want of room in
Marietta, for “lodgings,” it has been so ar
ranged that visitors who desire it may return to
Atlanta on the evening trains, which leave Ma
rietta at 4 and 5$ o’clock and reach Atlanta at C
and 7 o’clock..
All money realized at the fair will be used for
the worthy object <5f promoting the educational
interest of that little city.
Let Macon send a large delegation.
The Test Oath xx Viegdcia.—The New York
Herald says: “it seems to be pretty generally
nnderstood bore now that President Grant will
not permit his Cabinet to practically nullify the
results of the late'Virginia election by exacting
the obnoxious test oath. I am informed that
the President is fully resolved to abide by the
popular verdict, and that, too, against the advice
of some of his constitutional advisers, who are
well known to be of diametrically the opposite
opinion. This information is strengthened by
an article in the Richmond Enquirer, of this
morning, which says • ‘We have it in a most
direct manner that the test oath will not be ex
acted.’ The words are italicised, and seem to
bear the impress of authority.”

THE ALLEGED IDENTITY OP THESE CLASSES.
THE COTTON FUTURE.
Another Negro State. — A dispatch from
Long Branch says: I learn that Secretary Rob
eson admits that Senator Cole has gone to San
Domingo on a special mission. The Secretary
declared that inside of one year San Domingo
will be admitted to the Union.
When the American Union was originally
formed the parties to the compact would not
have admitted a Negro State into the Confeder
ation. Now, to maintan their political ascen
dency, the Radical party would annex Africa it
self. The time will perhaps come when the
white men of the North will see the fruits of this
unnatural and degrading policy.
A Reliable Advertising Agency.—Within
a few years past we have had several orders for
advertising from Mr. Robert P. Bntton, of
Lynchburg, Va. He has a general advertising
agency, and offers remunerative rates, and is
very prompt in remitting, according to the
terms of his contracts. It is a pleasure to deal
with such a gentleman, and we commend him to
the press as in every way reliable.
The First Bale op New Cotton we have
seen noticed was chronicled by the Houston
(Texas) Telegraph, of August 1st. It was
raised in Washington county, by Mr. W. EL
Mitchell, weighed 410 pounds, classed ns mid
dling, and sold in Houston for twenty-five cents
per pound, in gold.
The Canvass.in Texas.—In addition to the
other issues in Texas the division of the State is
an important-feature in the canvass. Hamilton
and Baker, the Conservative candidates for Gov
ernor and lieutenant Governor, oppose divi
sion. Davis and Flannagan, the ultra Radical
candidates,.advocate the division of the State
into three or four separate States, thereby secur
ing six or.eight Senators instead of two.
Pennsylvania.—General Apathy, the Penn
sylvania Republican papers say, has taken the
command of the radical forces in that State.—
They are all asleep and should esteem it fortu
nate that the democratic candidate is a good
Packer, and can stow them away safely where
they can have -their nap out undisturbed until
after the election.
Chicago is to have a great Chinese laundry,
and one hundred men will be brought from San
Francisco to do the work. The Chicago mer
chants now in California are very generally en-
giging Chinese men as house-servants to take
the place of the Bridgets now employed.
A farmer of Decatnr county has cotton so
full of bolls that some of the stalks are broken
off by the weight It is from the Dickson seed,
and manured with guano. He is expecting to
make two bales to the acre.
The Griffin Star says that Judge Hiram
Travis, of Spalding county, will, if no disaster
befals bis crop, make a bale of cotton to every
acre, and com enough to do him two years.
The Counterfeit Tens.—A Washington dis
patch says no more tens are being paid out at
the Treasury Department, and all of this issue
are being redeemed as rapidly as possible.
Gen. Robert E. Lee and his compatriots deny
that any conference between them and Govern
or Walker has been solicited or contemplated
by either side.
Land Slide.—A land slide of five acres, fo
a distance of COO feet, took place at Stockport,
Hudson oounty, New York, last Saturday.
Large trees, and a good deal of fencing, were
removed with the sliding earth, and remain up
right as ever.
The Ohioans will be under the necessity of
calling another State Democratic Convention,
to nominate a candidate for Governor, in place
of General Rosecranz, who declines to run.
Fine Weather.—The weather yesterday was
fine bright and warm. The mercury in the
morning was a little below seventy.
Horrible Suspicion.—A horrible suspicion
has been aroused concerning the cause of the
disaster on the Clarksville Railroad. The Mem
phis Appeal says:
“We are credibly informed that some of the
people living in the neighborhood of the acci
dent have been caught with property on them
known to belong to the deceased or wounded,
and it is farther said that the affair was caused
by the removal of ft rail or the sawing of the
trestle work by certain parties who are strongly
suspected.”
Crops in Douohebtx.—The Albany News of
the 10th, says:
Fridsy was a warm day; Saturday was cold,
cloudy and eclipsed, but no rain; Sunday sun
shine and cold winds; Monday, some sunshine,
some clouds and a little warmer. This weather
is not injuring cotton seriously. The rust and
caterpillar are quivering on a point, while the
cotton is growing and making beautifully. We
are not ruined yet, though badly hurt. The
Jordan and Lockett belt is doing bnlly.
Com is made, and a better crop never grew in
Southwestern Georgia. Huff, you need'nt buy
any more com for our folks; but pile in the ba
con, flo«r,guano, eta.
The whole business part of Elisabethtown,
Kyi, was burned on Saturday last.

The official reports of the proceedings of this
body, at its first annual meeting, June 20th, at
the St Nicholas Hotel, New York, reach ns in
pamphlet form, displayed in all the elegance of
the best Boston typography. There are a few
points in its records which it may be interest
ing to bring before the readers of the Tele
graph. One of these relates to the status of
American cotton production, compared with
that of the outside world. The Secretary’s re
port sets forth that in I860 the United States
supplied 84$ per cent, of the whole import of
cotton into Great Britain; in I860 they sup
plied 38 per cent; in 1867, 42$per cent.; and
in 1868, 43$ per cent; the crop of the United
States being for these years respectively, as
follows:
1859-60 4,675,770 bales.
18G5-6 2,342,116 “
1866- 7 2,318,660 “
1867- 8 2,599,241 “
The report then goes on to say that the
causes of decline are but temporary, and that
better seasons, reorganized labor and increased
activity, will soon vastly increase the crop,
“Toregain our ascendancy in the cotton
markets,” says the Secretary, “we must be able
to lay down cotton in Europe at Gd or less per
pound. With cheap cotton the demand for cot
ton goods, now checked by the absolute want of
means to buy, will be greatly stimulated. The
spindles of the world will be bard driven, and
the number will be rapidly increased. New de
mands for cotton will be made, and for the la
bor to grow it. Our great duty now is to en
courage emigration to the cotton regions. This
association and its officers can hardly be more
usefnlly employed than in collecting and dif
fusing information in regard to the demand for
labor, and to the advantages and inducements
which different sections offer to emigrants.”
With this broad statement of what the Asso
ciation seeks to accomplish—that is to say, the
reduction of the price of raw cotton to about
one-half its present value, the next one of its ob
jects set forth by the Secretary is perhaps a lit
tle amusing. He says: “The promotion of a
recognition of the identity of interests between
the cotton planters and manufacturers is the last
stated, but perhaps the leading object of this
Association.”
That is as hard to understand as the identity
of interests between the abolitionists and the
slave-holders used to be in the old Union.—
Greeley and the rest of them used to tell us that
the identity of interests did exist, because, if
they could force emancipation upon us we should
not only be better men for the loss, but make
more money with freed labor; but we could not
see it then, and the fact that in some way or
other about twenty-two hundred thousand bales
of cotton, besides an infinitude of rice and su
gar come up missing since these blessed days of
freedom, shows that somebody is losing frightful
ly by this free negro experiment. There is that
much of solid product left out of the world’s in
crease, some how or other, and now the ques-
tion arises, who is losing it ?
Some light upon this interesting topio is
thrown by the report itself—for, if we turn
back five or six pages, we read these words:
“The United States produced in I860 2,155,-
000,000 pounds (4,675,770 bales) of cotton,
worth, at twelve cents per pound, $238,GOO,-
000.” Well, now, suppose we add these words
below the Secretary’s: The United States pro
duced in 1869-70 2,500,000 bales of cotton,
worth, at twenty-five cents, gold, per pound,
6212,500,000—there are still 2,175, 770 bales of
cotton lost by somebody; but the planters
pocket forty millions more than they did for
the huge cotton crop of 1860.
It is quite apparent, therefore, that, notwith
standing there is a gigantic los3 to the world in
cotton alone, under the blessed and enlightened
experiment of turning the attention of the ne
groes from the growth of cotton to the science
of government—yet he cotton planters are not
the parties who are losing it just now. Perhaps
a merciful God, in subjecting the Sonth to the
loss of the money value of the slaves, and all
the horrors and violence, wrong and bloodshed,
which she had to endure, as the victim to this
outside philanthropy, determined that her
money losses should cease after a time, and her
assailants should thereafter foot the bill.
This they are now in great part doing by pay
ing for half crops of sugar, rice, tobacco and
cotton more than they used to pay for whole
crops of those great staples, which not only
brought them great wealth in the manipulation
and manufacture, but filled their ships with
profitable freights and made their country the
mistress of the seas and the arbiter of trade and
commerce in those important commodities.
It is no wonder, therefore, that the National
Association of Cotton Manufacturers, in view of
the fact that they are paying twice as much for
cotton as they used to do in the days of slavery,
shonld become exceedingly restive and cast
about diligently for means to restore the old
price. The only marvel is that they shonld con
ceive the idea of persuading the planters that
there is any "identity of interest" with them in
such an enterprise. We can see none at all in
the Tnnin issue. On the contrary, the interests
are antagonistic. The planters want the highest
price for their raw cotton and the lowest price
for manufactured goods—and the cotton manu
facturers stand exactly vice versa.
The only possible point on which the views of
the two classes might meet and harmonize to
any extent, would be on the policy of restoring
the old American monopoly of cotton producing.
This the Sonth cares about only as foreign riv
alry and competition may develope to sncli an
extent as to endanger the profits of cotton pro
duction in America. A possibility exists that
huge and dangerous competing interests maybe
bnilt which might render Europe measureably
independent of the Sonth for cotton supplies,
and prices independent of our product; and this
is what it is for the interest of the South to
avoid. Better to increase onr product with the
growth of the world and the demands of trade
and retain our position as cotton producers even
at some loss in price, than to fall every year
farther into the background in the vain hope to
keep np prices by stinting production.
But these are events which regulate them
selves. High prices will stimulate production—
will concentrate energy and labor—will bring
immigration and increase crops withont the ac
tive intervention of this association or the Im
migration societies in the South. It is impos
sible that cotton should long be worth thirty
cents currency per pound, without drawing a
vast tribute of human industry, enterprise and
capital into its production.
Whenever any industrial pursuit becomes ex
traordinarily profitable it is as sure to bring these
equalizing causes into active operation as a va
cuum is to be filled by the atmosphere, or as wa
ter to seek its level. All this talk in the Sonth
about the labor question and Chinese immigra
tion and all the curiosity and anxiety in the
North about the Sonth, and the disposition to
immigrate here, are simply due to the operation
of this law of trade and to the fact that cotton
is worth thirty oents a pound. It is as idle to
fight it as to fight sunshine or tides. It is use
less to mourn over the prospect of increased
crops and diminished prices. The only way for.
cotton producers to do will be just what they
trill be sure to do—that is, each one will make
just as much cotton os he can and take the
chances. If they will make breadstuff* aad
meat too, while about it, they will not be hurt.
We bad several other points to notice in con
nection with this report and proceedings, but
must take another article for the purpose. We
rejoice in the growing prominence of tho^
i Southern cotton product. It is going to do*
| wonders for us as a section. It will grow and
. swell in the next ten years to five millions of
j bales or more, and still be a profitable industry,
j while the income from this immense production,
| instead of being squandered on slaves, and
' lands to be worn ont and left in scarred old
fields, while the owner removes to Toxas or
Arkansas, will be spent in substantial improve
ments and profitable investments, so that who
ever lives ten years hence will see better agri
culture and more magnificent farms in Georgia
than can now be found in any part of America.
The land will bear a high value, and be adorned
with fine, spacious farm houses and barns, and
splendid fruits and flowers. Mills and factories,
villages, workshops, schools and churches, will
increase. The State will throng with a lively
and enterprising population, and exert, we
hope, a political influence and a moral power
which she never did before.
The Macon Post Office.
There is a report in the telegrams to-day that
Turner has been relieved of the Macon Post
Office and Washington reappointed. We sup
pose this statement is true; at least, we have
been informed that the President bad avowed
his determination to make the change so soon
as Mr. Cresswell was able to return to Washing
ton.
So endeth miserably the experiment of negro
Postmastering in Macon, and yet we fear the
business is not altogether over. We shall not
be surprised if Mr. Washington receives orders
to employ one or more negroes in the Post Of
fice as clerks, jnst as we suppose Clift was com-
pelledto do inSavannab, and Bryant in Augusta.
If that is the case, Washington cannot help
himself without resigning, and his resignation
could not help the matter so far as the people of
Macon are concerned. Both must make the
best of it. The administration of the post-office
under Mr. Washington was satisfactory to the
people, and we do not question it will be so
again, if Mr. Cresswell does not interfere to en
force subordinate appointments unacceptable to
all parties.
First Bale or Mew Cotton.
Mr. P. W. Jones, of Baker county, brought
up the first bale of new cotton we have heard
of this year in Georgia, yesterday evening. Last
year, according to the Telegraph, Joseph Ste
gall brought the first bale of Georgia cotton to
market, at Thomasville, on the 12th of August.
Mr. Jones’ bale weighs 498 pounds, and is to be
shipped to Boston.
We questioned Mr. Jones about farming
prospects in Baker. He says the com crop is
good and will, in his opinion, average fifteen
bushels to the acre. The caterpillar is at work
upon the cotton in lively fashion, and threatens
to be very destructive. But still, if his expecta
tions are realized, he cannot be thrown upon
the parish this year. He says that on 120 acres,
highly fertilized and worked by ten hands, the
people think he will gather one hundred bags. On
the remainder, not fertilized, he will make from
five to seven bales to the hand. With twenty-
six hands he expected one hundred and fifty
bales. In old times we shonld have called that
heavy cropping, caterpillar or no caterpillar.
Lands were going np in Baker, and the people
lively.
The Cincinnati Exposition.
PREMIUM TO THE MACON MANUFACTURING AND
OTHER COMPANIES.
We see the Committee on Premiums of the
Cincinnati Textile Fabric Exposition awarded a
prize of fifty dollars to the Macon Manufactur
ing Company for the best bale of thirty-six inch
medium brown cottons. They also awarded a
prize of twenty-five dollars to the Eagle and
Phcenix Manufacturing Company for the best
cotton blankets, and to the Eagle Mills Com
pany, of Columbus, for the best; cotton warp
tweeds. These were the only premiums award
ed to Georgia manufacturers, but special men
tion was made of Maeon Mills 4-4 Sheetings;
Jewell Mills, Warren county, plain Osnaburgs,
and Fonntenoy Mills, Augusta, Cotton Yam.
Arrest of the Express Robbers.
The Chronicle and Sentinel of the 10th, re
ports the arrest of Bland and Hargrove for rob
bing the Express safe on the Central train on
the night of the 22d nit. Bland made confes
sion. The preliminaiy examination took place
yesterday.
From Macon County.
Macon County, Ga., Aug. 11, 1869.
Editors 2 degraph : Thinking you would like
to hear from Macon county, I take the liberty to
address you:
Crops are not very good on account of the dry
weather in Jnly. The caterpillar has not made
its appearance yet.
Freedmen work very welL Giving dinners
seem to be their only preventive from work
now. They had a barbecue last Saturday at
Traveler's Rest, near Montezuma, which would
have passed off with credit to the negroes had
they not allowed a low-bred, bigot of a white
man to address them after the dinner was over.
Allow me to advise Mr. “N. A.,” through the
columns of your admirable paper, to go back to
lower Dooly if he wishes to be a “big man”
with his “collored bredren.” Nemo.
Sales for Fnture Delivery.
We quote the following report of cotton sales
for future delivery from the last New York Mer
cantile Journal:
For future delivery we note the following
sales: Low Middling, September delivery, 31
cents; October 29 cents; November 27$; De
cember 26$ @ 2GJ. Some bona fide purchases
have been" effected in European accounts, on
the following terms: New Orleans in December,
2CJ @ 26$; Savannah in December, 2G@2G$;
both low middling, free on board ship.
How to Get Rid of Nut-Grass.—Several of
our citizens, (says the Columbus Sun and Times
of the 10th) who sent twenty-five cents to Au
gusta to get a receipt to get rid of this trouble
some grass, received the following in reply:—
“Sell your land and move away; then you will
get rid of it.”
An agricultural wiseacre at our elbow says
there are only two ways to get rid of the nui
sance. 1st. Plow a deep coating of salt in your
land. This will kill the land and grass also, bnt
the land con be revived. 2nd. Shade the grass
by successive crops of wheat, or oats and peas.
In two or three years you can smother it ont in
this way.
Tennessee Election.—The Nashville Banner
gives rotnms from all but twenty-seven coun
ties, which show a majority for Senter of 57,-
45G. Of the fifty-seven counties reported, only
nine give Stokes a majority, amounting in gross
to 4,482. The forty-eight counties give Senter
an aggregate majority of 61,938.
Bowers, Beekman & Go. suspended in New
York on Monday. Liabilities three millions.
The house will get an extension and go on. The
steady decline in woolen goods wrecked the
concern. - • • t . tr ..
Packing Cotton.
It will be seen that the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce complains of an unnecessary weight
of bagging and iron used in packing American
cotton. Who doubts it? Iron ties, worth
eight or nine cents a pound, and bagging, say
fourteen cents, are weighed with the cotton and
paid for at the price of cotton, say thirty-cents.
That is to say the iron is sold at twenty-one and
the bagging at sixteen cents profit, which is a
comfortable operation. As long as that state of
things prevails it will be useless to complain of
excess of either. It is the interest of cotton
producers to use abundance and they are going
to do it An established tare, allowing a fair
weight of covering for the ample protection of,
contents, is just and reasonable.
And while upon the subject of packing, we
will revert again to the proceedings of the First
annual meeting of the National Association of
GottonManufactnrers and Planters. At this meet
ing there was great complaint of false packing.
Mr. Garsed said that not one bale in fifty turns
out the same inside as outside, and that out of
the thousands of bales be had bandied since
1861 not one per cent, had been according to
standard, while in China or India cotton one
layer does not differ from another the tenth of
a grain.
Col. Wesson, of Mississippi, said there was
too much truth about false packing. It is
common practice to wet the cotton, or to wet a
pile of sand and roll it in a fleece of cotton and
put it into the middle of a bale. At the same
time he complained of frauds in sampling and
said he knew a man who had made 600 bales of
cotton in one season by sampling.
Mr. Saunders, of Tennessee, said false pack
ing was mnch more common in India than
America and he could prove it if he had time ;
and if you bore a bale well, you will find if there
is wet cotton or sand in the middle.
Mr. Wesson said the more directly you deal
with planters, the easier it is to trace back false
packing.
Mr. Johnson, of New York, said his house bad
suffered five per cent, on ten thousand bales of
cotton, or 875,000, in the last eight months,
from the uso of water in packing, and you can
not prevent it by examination, where you buy
largely. The Association finally passed a reso
lution, recommending the manufacturers to
deduct the weight of tare after September 1,
1869.
Enough was said here to show that false pack
ing was at least quite too common, and we have
no doubt that it meets with the stem reprehen
sion of every reputable planter. It would be
easy to require every cotton grower’s brand
upon his cotton as a gnaraateo for fair dealing
and security for redress of fraud.
THE MYSTERY SOLVED.
Affairs in South Carolina.
Our stately friend of tha Charleston Courier,
whom we have accustomed ourselves to regard
as a model of newspaper proprieties, takes um
brage at a paragraph in thg Telegraph in rela
tion to affairs in that State. This paragraph
was based upon the verbtl statements of two
friends just from South Qirolina, devoted ad
mirers of that State, and one of whom had found
it necessary to sell a homestead there, the build
ings upon which cost him over ten thousand
dollars for two thousand. In the same paper in
which our paragraph appeared, was a letter
from Columbia from an authoritative source,
which corroborated the editorial statement in
many particulars.
This information gave us no pleasure, but
much pain; but the expressions of regret with
which the publication was accompanied are
charged by the Courier as hypocritical, and at
tributed to some scheme of self-interest, which
we really fail to comprehend, but which the
Courier refers to as follows:
Upon the whole, we very much fear that the
sympathy of the Telegraph is misplaced, and
bears upon it a tinge of selfishness. Wo know
that our Georgia friends hanker after a certain
Southwestern and Middle Georgia trade, and
we wish they may get it. But we submit in all
hnmility that they should give us a fair chance
iu the list, and not attempt to crush our pros
pects by this premature sympathy.
Really, we know of no trade interest in South
western or Middle Georgia in which we shall not
bo gratified to see our Charleston friends obtain
a profitable share, and the efforts of Macon have
for years been directed to opening a more direct
communication with the port of Charleston, and
found an active promoter in the Daily Tele
graph.
The Courier denies the accuracy of our state
ments in regard to the condition of the crops in
Sonth Carolina, and makes a favorable report,
which we sincerely hope will be abundantly jus
tified by the harvest. It will also gratify us to
see all its other implied challenges of the accu
racy of our statements in relation to the politi
cal, material and social condition of the Pal
metto State, fully sustained by the facts. We
wish nothing but good to South Carolina, and
confess to no little perplexity as to the real
cause of that splenetio exhibition of a column
in the Courier at our expense. We beg our
friends to resume their ancient dignity and com
posure, and accept our best wishes for the pros
perity of their State and city.
A Fanny Development from tlie
“Manhood Suffrage” Party.
Since the election in Tennessee and Virginia,
some of the Radical organs have been putting
on their thinking caps, and the result, as to ono
of them, is exhibited in the subjoined extract
from the Washington Republican:
“The system of pntting the ballot-box into the
hands of the ignorant masses—no matter of
what origin—if continued, cannot fail to lead to
very serious, if not disastrous results. Congress
will be remiss in its duty to the country if early
action on the subject is neglected. It is con
tended by many of our ablest men, and with
great force of argument, that the best suffrage
qualifications would be “ability to read and
write the English language." With this as a
universal qualification test in all Federal and
State elections, the ballot-box would be protect-
ed against ignorance, and, toa very large extent,
against the possibility of corruption.”
A declaration like that, however just in itself,
shows no little cheek in the manhood suffrage
party, who have based their preposterous policy
of endowing four million blacks who can neither
read nor write; with the privileges of electors,
upon the plea that suffrage as an inherent right
of man and alike indispensable to self protection
and moral, political and intellectual elevation
and improvement. -
Grant the premises upon which they havo en
dowed our late slaves with suffrage, and there
is an end to the argument. There i3 no op
tion. The ballot does not even equitably belong
to tho national sovereignty as a thing to be con
ferred or withheld at its pleasure—hut it be
longs to every man of lawful age and of what
ever color or race. Every snch inhabitant of
the country, claiming it as his permanent abode,
is morally and equitably entitled to the suffrage,
on these grounds, be he white, black or yellow
—Caucasian, African or Mongolian—and must
have it, no matter what onr laws propose to the
contrary. . 1 ''
This much if this radical doctrine of man
hood suffrage is sound. If it is unsound and
untenable, then the country has been sacrificed
to a hideous delusion, and the party which has
imposed it npon. America ought to sink below
the hand of resurrection.

The times are pregnant with startling events; old
igms, theories, and fallacies are fast disappearing be
neath the gigantio wheals of progress and human
development. Change is written with the iron finger
of time, npon ail matter, teen and unseen, material
and spiritual. The migbtY, omnipotent power that
fashioned th* stupendous orbs that revolve in the
immensity of rpace, created all things in wisdom and
purity. The majestic ocean, the deep blue sea, the
beautiful earth aBd all things therein contained were
planned and created by virtue of that universal law
of harmony, whose power holds sway over all. In
telligence is manifested in all created things, both
great and email—thetiny insect, the beautiful butter
fly, and God-like man, are each endowed according
to their kind, with that instinct or intelligence or
dained by Him who “doeth all things well.”
Wisdom, justice and love are the three great stand
ard-bearers whose sumptuous hands mete out to each
individuality the measure of Divine, universal law,
designed by that mighty Mind who fashioned alike
noble man in his own image and all lesser created
things. The beauties and wonders of nature never
cease to the progressive human mind. Eternal pro
gress is written with the unerring finger ofDeity upon

AI. D., whoso discoveries tn reference to
LIVER, LONG AND BLOOD DISEASES
are now attracting tho attention of the whole medical
world, and whose success is carrying joy and restored
health to thon.-ands.
His well-attested cases of liver diseases, lung dis
eases, blood diseases And disease! of the kidney, blad
der. spine, stomach and other organs, are now well
known nil over tho United states and Canada, the
West Indies. Europe, Mexico, Sandwich Islands and
in many of the commercial and missionary settle
ments in every part of the world.
For the benefit of the sick who may wish to know
positively when they have derangements rf tho Liver
of more or less severity, a combination of the usual
symptom? found in such cases will be found below :
SYMPTOMS OF LIVER COMPLAINT.
A sallow or yellow color of the skin, or yellowish
brown spots on tho face and other parts of the body;
dullness and drowsiness, with frequent headache: bit
ter or bad taste in the mouth, dryness of tho throat,
and internal heat; palpitation of the heart; in many
cates a dry, teasing cough, with soar throat; unsteady
appetito; sour stomach, with a rising of the food and
e joking sensation in the throat; sickness and vomit
ing: distress. heaviness, or a bloated or full feeling
about the stomach and sides, which is often attended
with pains and tenderness: aggravating pains in the
sides, back, or breasts, and about the shoulders; colic
pain and soreness through the bowels, with beat; con
stipation of the bowels, alternating with frequent at
tacks of diarrhea; piles, flatulence, nervousness, cold
ness of the extremities: rush of blood to the head,
with symptons of apoplexy: numbness of the limbs,
especially at night; cold chills, alternately with hot
flushes, with dullness, low spirits, unsociability, and
gloomy forebodings and with ladies, female weakness
and irregularities.
DISEASE? CAUSED BY LIVER COMPLAINT.
Tho Human System, the mos. perfect of all the
works of the Creator, is so constituted that, to be en
tirely healthy, it must throw off the waste, worn-out,
and poisonous materials as fast as it takes on new
materials from our food and drink. Tho food is as
similated and made intonourishingand healthy blood,
principally through tho offices of the stomach, liver
and lungs. The worn-out materials are mostly ex
creted by tho liver, lungs and kidneys: but all medi
cal men have heretofore failed to recognize the vast
importance of the liver as a blood-purifying and ex
creting organ. The most learned German physiolo
gists. who baso their assertions npon actual experi
ments only, state that the amount of rile which
should bo manufactured by the liver and poured into
the intestines each day is two and one half pounds.—
All persons interested to know this fact, and the ex
periments to prove it, may consult Verdaungs-saefte
tend Staffwcchsel, Leipzig, 1852, or they may see a resume
of these facts in P of Dalton’s Physiology.
Remember one thing more: The bile 13 something
more than the natural physic of tho bowels, as has
heretofore been thought by eminent medical men.—
The bile is mostly made np of the waste matter of the
blood—effete, worn-out and injurious materials; If
the liver does not mako this bile and ponrit into the
intestines daily, it remains in the blood as a poison.
It poisons the blooditeelf, and circulates as irritating
and poisonous matter in the blood, to every organ in
the system.
Tho blood, poironed with the daily accnmul3ted ex
cess of bile returns from the liverto the heart, and the
nerves of the heart are affected, and we have an op
pressed feeling at the heart and palpitation; and if
thiscauso is long continued, we get a chronic irrita
tion, nndae excitement, and morbid nutrition of the
heart, developing many forms of Heart Disease.
Just so with the Lungs. The bile-poisoned blood
goes from the upper and right cavity of the heart to
the lower cavity, and thence directly to thelungs, cir-

It is with much satisfiction that I invite particu
lar attention to tho following voluntary statement of

Dr. R. Leonidas Hamilton, No. 546 Broadway—My
Deer Benefactor—A sense of duty impels me to say
that jour medicines have done for me what no other

for many years from diseases co-tracted while labor

I applied to yon for help. Yob remarked—“ Before I

my symptoms were entirely changed, and my health

found myself in the enjoyment of better health, and
able to perform more labor, mental and physical, than

. I J, TO THE AFFLICTED EVERTWHNR*.
f During my labors in publishing and editing a news
paper for many years in thi? city, and al-o in the per
formance of my duties ss a clergyman in this and other
cities. I have become thoroughly and intimately ae
quainted wi'h R. Leonides Hamilton. M. D., the just
ly celebrated Liver, Lung and Blood Physician of this
city, who is located at No. 546 Broadway. The doctor
was for many years a regular practicing physician, and
also for some years a professorin one ofour best medi
cal schools, and during such extensive experience, he
fully realized the inadequacy of the ordinary treat
ment made nso of in all chronic diseases, more espe
cially thHt ela?softroublearisingfrom deranged func
tions of the Liver and digestive organs; He at once set
himself about the study ofthaclassof diseases, deter
mined to makethem nspecialty. Laying the vegetable
world under tribute,ho fc as made discoveries and com
pounded specifics on sound philosophical principles
which have made the most wonderful cures in the an
nals of medicine. Liver, Blood. Lung and Nervons dis
eases are now virtually under his control, and yield to
the magic, subtle power of his remedies. I have myself
seen numbers of those who havo been saved from the
hand of death by his power, when tho unfortunate
sufferers seemed doomed to an early grave, and all
other treatment was of no avail. In addition to what
I can v-'.ueh for personally. I Uavo ample evidence
from other clergymen, physicians and eminent men of
the highest character, who have also been saved by
this wonderful treatment, and who speak in the high
est praise nnd gratitude of Dr. Hamilton as a' physi
cian and gentleman of honor and integrity. It is but
simply stating the positive truth when I say that it is
well known throughout this country that where his
works are known and the f&uits of his skill hare been
witnessed, he is highly esteemed by the people as the
most eminent ami remarkahle physician in the treat
ment of chronic diseases, of the age. As the result of
a long personal and familiar acquaintance with Prof.
Hamilton and tis unparalleled succe?s as a profes
sional man of the highest order, I frankly express the
hope that diseased humanity in eve-y partof our land
may avail themselves of bis most remarkable skill,
and thus share the noble blessings so kindly and freely
bestowed upon all.
Most respectfully. Set. W. B. JACOBS.

ANOTHER CLERGYMAN CURED ! 1
The erainentdivine. Rev. J.W. Hinkley, of Athens,
Maine, writes.
“My health has heeD so farimproved from the effects
4f yonr treatment that I am able to resume my pastor
ship. Had it not teen for vour medicine I should not
be living now. To you, with God’s blessing, do I owe
my worldly existence. I am a living exponent of the
worth of ycurmatchlessremcdies, and I shall here-
attor deem it a p?rt of my religious duty to recommend
all suffering with diseases of the Liver or Lungs to
speedily apply to you. -May God's bics-ir.g attend
your worthy efforts for the relief of diseased and suf
fering humanity.”
lowercavity, and thence directly to
culating all through those most delicate organs. The
lung tissues are poisoned and irritated, and they in
vito the scrofulous humors of the blood beeauso they
are thus irritated. Hence Consumption, which is lo
cal scrofula, so defined and proved by Lugol and all
the most scientific authors. The luDgs try to oxygenize
and purify the blood, and they do it in a great meas-
□ro: bat they are overworked and irritated, and y; u
smell the blood-poison matter in the man’s foul breath.
Catarrh. Bronchitis, Asthma, Nervons Cough and Con
sumption itself, are the resolts. If the Liver had
done its duty—made and excreted that bile—thelnngs
would not have been diseased.
Just so with the Blood itself. It goes from the
lungs back to tho npperleft cavity of tlieheart, thence
to the lower cavity, and thence through the arteries
and capillaries to every organ and tissue of the sys
tem. Among the most important of those organs are
the kidneys, furnishing tho urinary secretion a most
import-mt excretion. But the kidneys, themselves,
are irritated andcongested by the presence of the bile-
poisuned blood, and they become diseased. Every
person who has had a, liver-disease knows that the
nrine is scanty, high colored, and loaded with red de
posits, at times, or other diseased products. Hence,
ili?ea;e3 not only of tho kidneys, butalsoofthehladder.
But this Is not all—far from if. The poisonous blood
goes to the Brain, and effects the great electrical cen
tre of all vitality; and the brain, stimulated by un
healthy blood, cannot perform its office healthfully —
Tho person has dullness, headache, incapacity to keep
his mind on a subject, cannotremember, has a crowd
ed and dizzy feeling, is sleepy, becomes nervous
gloomy, easily irritated, and often has a bilious or
neuralgic headache.
And tho blood itself becomes diseased, as it forms
the sweat npon the surface of the skin, it is so irrita
ting and poisonous that the person has discolored
brown spots, pimples, blotches, and other eruptions,
sores, boils, carbuncles, and other scrofula tumors.
Disease of the Liver itself is the most common of
all diseases. The sudden changes oftho New Ergland
climate, the mil.Uriel influence of the West, and the
heat also of theSouth. as well as tho dietetic habits of
the people of thi3 country, and other causes, all tend
to develop the Liver disease, in some ot tho varied
forms, throughout the United States. This is true of
both man nnd beast, as every batcher knows that he
finds the livers of cattle, sheep, and swine diseased
ten times where he finds any other organ diseased
once. Almost every poraon 'is bilious at some time,
and many are constantly bilious It may be mere
congestion of the Liver and torpidity of its function,
or this may resalt in some structural or organic affeo-
tion. But the Liver era never bo diseased without
affecting the stomach, bowels, and tho other organs
wo have spoken of, and cosliveness. piles, dropsy,
diArihca and impoverished blood are among tho ne
cessary results.
CHRONIC DISEASES.
Paor. HAMILTON will also inform tho afflicted,
that having been written to by thousands of patients,
hi- o’ticc has become the greatest center for tho treat
ment of novel, interesting and peculiar cases of any
place in tho world. No hospital in Europe or Ameri
ca has one-tenth the number of singular and remark
able cases as are presented, either personally or by
letter, at No. 515 Broadway. It is. indeed, an Empo
rium of Clinical Medicine. Among the thousands
of cases arising from diseases of the Liver. Lungs, and
Blood, which he treats, thelollowing receive a promi
nent and most successful attention : Sick and Bili
ous Headache. Nervous and Neuralgic Headache.
Chronic Diarrhea and Dysentery, Costiveness and
Piles, Pimples, Eruptions and Brown Skin, Dropsy
and Diseases of tne Kidneys, Consumption of the
Blood, Scrofula in all its forms. Spinal Irritation, Salt
Rheum, and Erysipelas, Canoers. Asthma, Epileptic
Fits Nervons Diseases of the Heart. Diseases of Fe
males, and all diseases arising from Impurities oftho
Blood, Rheumatism, Catarrh and Throat Diseases,
etc., etc. .

all in vain. Why should I think that you could do
me more good than others? Bat, sir, justice and grat
itude compel me to say that after the use ofyour med-

A HARD CASE1
SPINE. KIDNEYS, LIVER AND BLADDER DISEASED.
“Dr. Hamilton? Mv best friend and Brother—You
have saved my life! This is not only certain to my
own apprehonsion, bnt all my personal friends who
have known mv sufferings so long and so well, join in
this opinion. From a spinal disease I have suffered
for years what no 'omne can tell. Betides this dis
ease, I have been afflicted with aggravated affoctions
of the liver and spleen :ard my kidneys and bladder
have oeen so diseased that other physicians have
tried their skill in vain. I have laid in hospitals for
months, and I bare again and again consulted the most
eminent physicians and surgeonsin Boston, New York,
Charleston, Cincinnati, Chicago and other cities, with
out regard to expense. They were men of learning
and great reputation, but in all honesty I most say
they did me no good. After trying thoroughly their
skill, they have had to acknowledge mycaseas com
plicated and hopeless—'incurable’ as they have
termed it. In nine weeks you have cured me—made
me a new man. I had no hope nor bad my friends;
bnt I am now right; I am well; and rejoico that, after
eighteen years of suffering, I know what it is to enjoy
the blessed, joyous feeling of health, vigor, life, free
dom from pain, and witn the power to work, think
and enjoy myself. I offeryon this testimonial gladly:
I hope it will lead hundreds to you. I know that
whereof I here testify; and I shall ever take the great
est satisfactionin recommending you to all the afflict
ed, for to you I owo my life.

chial difficulties and all bad symptoms being entirely
removed. All this is attributable to your unnvalled
medicine, under the Divine ‘sanction,'which I trust.
with mo, will ever be remembered with gratitude. I
cannot clcse this communication without the expres
sion of my heartfelt gratitude and thanks for the
timely aid you rendered my daughter in Consump
tion. The efficiency of the medicine tq her case, has
been truly miraculous. That hoctic cough and flush
on her cheek, with the other consumptive symptoms
have entirely left her, and now, after a period of five
months, she is enjoying good health and is quitero-
bust, so much that sheha? engaged to teach school
this summer. You are at liberty toshow this letter to
any similarly afflicted, or publish it as you think
proper. Any letter of inquiry I will cheerfully answer.
I am, dear Doctor, with many thanks,
Your humble servant, JOSEPH LITTLE.
IMPORTANT CASE OF ELEPTIC.FITS.
Read the following evidence of what my treatment
has done in a case of this disease, hitherto considered
incurable:
„ • Bcckhabt, III.
De. JIamilton.—My wife was afflicted with lita for
ten years, attended with great spinal and nervous de
bility. She doctored with several physicians, but all
to no purpose. . I read one of your circulars and was
so imprei-ed with your new and simple theory cf
disease that I determined to try your remedies. Ev
ery one in the neighborhood cried “humbug;" but,
thank.God, failed to dissuade us from our purpose.
As you know, we sent for some of your remedies,
which, with the help oi God, have completely aad
permanently cured her. She has not bad a fit since;
her back is strong, and her nervous vitality and
strength have returned. As every attack she bad
was severer than theone previous, it is reasonable to
suppose she could not have lived long but for the
timely interference of yonr wonderful skill. To God
be the praise; for so speedily and miraculously have
your remedies worked that I can but recognize you
os an instrument of Divine power in rescuing my dear
companion from a terrible death.
