The Greorgia* 'Weekly Telegraph. 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.” National Association or Cotton 9fan- utincturers and Planters. . 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. Tn statement that Gen. Grant had been pre- esntod with a fifty sets lot jo New Jersey is oon- -tn dieted. 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 State constables are having a fine time “seizing liquors” in Massachusetts. Forty thou sand gallons of ale and two hundred and fifty barrels of whisky were seized last Monday.

It is said there are over forty women at one 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 all. The theme of human life is laden with sweet in cense to all who, like angels of mercy and goodness, are ever busy, ever ready to devise means for the alleviation of human woe and the prolongation of life.

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- CASES OF LIVER COMPLAINT.

No. 113 II ibrison Street, 1 Brooklyn, N. Y., January 20, 1869. J . 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. THE WORK GOES BRAVELY ON! 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.

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.

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.
