that man, we conscientiously belies eis Martin \an Buren. If ho will not, what have we to' expect from his three opponents who are openly hostile to those views and principles ! It is a subject to be sincerely deplored that mon who agrees so well, and are so firmly uni ted as the union party, should difl’ei in one soli tary instance ; for with the exception of the Presidential election we are marching band in hand, and shoulder to shoulder in the good old cause ; and we sincerely hope, that upon this. question we may vet see eye to eve, and act with that unanimity and conceit to which we are in debted for our success. Again, we would point our friends to the ’ course of the nullitiers in all their elections. ■ They* do not vote for union men, nor is there an ‘ instance within our knowledge of their assisting' a union man to beat a nullilier, and yet, they verv modestly* call upon the union men to aid them in beating union men. Will our friends assist them to do so ? It cannot be. Look nt their course towards General Gias- , cock. For month-, they have been extoling his | talents ami patriotism —toasting him at public , dinners, and recommending him as worthy the , highest confidence. But mark I A few weeks . before the election, they come out full driven- i gainst him, and call upon every man of their party to vote against him. Will union men act with such a party under : any circumstances I Will they separate them- . selves from their old and well tried friends— 1 will they be instrumental in assisting the nulliti- ' ers tobreak down and destroy tho union party I We cannot believe it, and when the day of elec- i tion comes, we confidently predict, that the ; nullitiers will find themselves greatly disappoin- i ted in their anticipations so fondly cherished, of ■ dividing and distracting tho Union party. MIL \ \\ BITH.N. It is amusing to see the long list of objections, ! of ancient date, now trumped up against Mr. Van Buren, by the very men who were shouting and huzzaing for him a few years ago ; nor is it less ludicrous to witness their outcry against the Baltimore Convention, when every body knows, how active they were in getting up the for mer convention at that place, and how warm ly they advocated the nomination of this same Mr. Van Buren for the Vice Presidency. The long, and black-lettered list which they 1 exhibit against him, all, or nearly all bear date, prior to his nomination at Baltimore, and if true, were known at least to the delegates who rep resented the State of Georgia in that conven tion. He is now charged with supporting the Mis souri restriction—with supporting Rufus King fur Senator in Congress—with being a tariff man—-with voting for the Cumberland Road Bill—with supporting De \Vi,t Clinton, against Mr. Madison for the Presidency, &c. &c. &c. &c. When did these things happen ? Why, if ev er, it was long before tho Baltimore Convention which nominated him for the Vice Presidency, and if they arc good and valid causes against Ids elevation now, they were equally so then ; and those who supported him then, and op pose him now, with all these alleged sins upon his head, acted the part of faithless and corrupt agents then, or they are manifestly playing the hypocrite now. Tell us ye men, who supported and voted for Mr. Van Buren’s nomination, then, why ye did it 1 and tell us why it was, that you concealed from the people all those enormities with which he is now clrarged. A bale of New Cotton was sold in this place by Mr. Farish < nrter, on Saturday last, to the firm of Cowles & Ward, at 26 cents per pound. The following letter was received by Express on Friday morning, last by his Excellency, Gov. Schley. PixuEßTow.v, August 19, 183 G. His Excellency Goo. Schley. ‘ Sir:—On Wednesday evening last, a camp of Indi ms was discovered by Messrs. P. R. Ol iver and John Guy, back of Guy’s plantation, and near the river, six miles below this place. News of the same was immediately communica ■ ted to the citizens of the neighborhood, and we succeeded in collecting a company of thirty eight men by 10 o’clock, the next morning.— We proceeded to the Indian camp in two de tachments, each of us assuming the command ot a detachment. Our party were so disposed, as lo surround the camp, after affecting which, we discovered tii.it it was broken up, and the Indi ans dispersed in the direction for Florida. The trails were very dim, and artfully scattered for the purpose of deceiving their pursuers, but hav ing some experienced trailers with us, we suc ceeded in Hailing them, and after a ride of twelve miles through the pine woods and ponds, came up with them in Irwin County, in an open piny woods country; as soon as we came in sight, our men were ordered to charge, which they did promptly and gallantly, raising, at the same time, the war-whoop. The Indians, who were drawn up in a line, were so frightened, that they broke and run, not taking time and deliberation to bring their rifles to a level to bear upon us; they discharged their pieces at us, when we were in about two hundred yards of them, and before they had time to reload, they were overhauled by our charge and soon despatched. After the battle, which lasted about twenty minutes, we .went over the ground and found eleven men, and we regret to say, seven women, dead on the /ield. The women so resembled the men in their dress, that wo could not discriminate be tween them in the engagement. We took three women and two children prisoners; two of the .women are badly wounded. Tin: result of this engagement is, eighteen killed and five prison ers, comprising the whole parly ot' the Indians, without any loss of killed or wounded on our part. The Indians were on foot, and had little or nothing with them except their guns and mu- of war, \Ve have tho prisoners with us, and are at a loss to know what to do with them. We wish your Excellency would inform ub what disposition to make of them. Respectfully, your Obedient Servants, JAMES GAV. SPENCER RILEY. We have converg'd with Mr. Spencer Riley, who is now in our town, lie states that he hail ;in encounter nidi the leader of the Indians dining the battle, and killed and scalped him with his ow n hands. The scalp we have seen, lie had shot him with ;>u< k shot in the back; the Indian in the hurry of re loading his ride, h ■<! put dew u the boll without powder. Mr. I!ilcy broke hi-double bar fpl gun to pieces over him, and seizing the Indi an s Rifle, wrested it from him. ami at tin* second plow beat out his brains. “ SOMETHING ROTTEN IN DEN- | MARK.’’ Complaints of tho irregular arrival of our j paper at many places of its destination, and in many instances of its non arrival, thicken upon I us so rapidly that we leel justified in the couclu- ' sion, that then’ is palpable negligence or gross j corruption somewhere. Our papers are as regularly printed, packed and mailed as any others in the State, and yet I we have evidence, that all the other papers prin ted in this place, on the same day, and mailed i at the same time with ours, are duly received at ■ several Pest Offices, at which ours rarely arrive : at the proper time, and frequently not at all. I We have borne it long enough.—We have ‘ complained of it through our columns, time as- ' ter time, ami yet it grows worse.—-We shall now call on the Post Master General to coriect theabuseby all the means within the power of the Department, and to ferret out and punish : the delinquent. In the mean time, we shall ex- ; ert all our vigilance to trace the evil to its source.. THE (TA'TII \l. B %NK. Editor’s correspondence. ? Sin.—l h ive read your remarks in the Stand ard. upon the subject of the Surplus Revenue, and | agree entirely with your views. 1 believe, as the I money was taken from the people, it should be i placed where they can use it upon easy terms, and 1 1 can see no mode of enabling them to do so, but j through the Central Bank. 1 live in a strong section of the State, and can assure you, that the people are almost unanimous on the subject, but 1 think the rate of interest should be reduced to five percent, because the mo ney belongs to the people, and should be used in such manner and upon such terms as they think proper. I hope you will continue to give your views to the people and to support their interest in this mat ter. and you w ill receive a hearty response from thousands and tens of thousands of your fellow citizens. With great respect your friend. Such we believe will be the prevailing sentiment ■ of the people, and our exertions shall not be wanting : n their behalf. £</. Standard. FOR TUB STANDARD OF UNION. To the People of Georgia : To men of any party who are honest, 1 pro pose to address a lew remarks, ol importance Ito all. With most of those who will read these ■ remarks, perhaps I dilier very widely in my po- I litical antipathies and partialities, but let that i be no reason why you shall not give heed to my ' opinions, so far as they may appear to you to ! be supported by reason and common sense. ; You have all seen enough of the changes of i party, to know, that because you act with a man ■ to-day, there is no certainty that you will act ' with him to-morrow. Perhaps, even now,some ! of you may feel that the ligaments of party affec- I tion do not bind you quite as strong to-day, as ! they did yesterday ; and that in less than a ■ i month, all the ties which have bound you to I ! some with whom you have acted for years, will be severed forever. Nevermind it—if you are acting upon principle, let them go—you will be safe. New parties are about to spring up— may have already sprung up—corruption is rife in the land, and the people are to be made its victims. The Central Bank, tbe only Bank, that 1 know any tiling of in the world, which is not foun i ded on principles of aristocracy, is to be dost-j 1 roved ; tiie crusade against it has commenced ; ; ' the wealth and the aristocracy of the country ar- I rayed against it; and unless the yeomanry of the I I country rush to the rescue, it will be made a J I sacrifice. Just see I there’s the Federal Union | . opposed to it—there’s the Augusta Constitu ’ tionalist—the Macon Messenger—the Sentinel! of Augusta--the Whig of Athens. People of; I Georgia, do you not see something ominous in 1 1 all this ? All the Rail Road, and Rail Road Bank iuflu i ence arrayed against the Central Bank ofGeor ! gia 1! ! Some of these presses have found out j suddenly, that there is in the Central Bank, I something very dangerous to the liberties of the people. Is it not strange that this institution, j which is obliged to dispense its favors equally, j if the people choose to apply for them, should Ib; dangerous to their liberties. Is it not strange i that this institution, which cannot sue a man as | long as he will pay up every six months, one i tenth of the debt he may owe it, should be dan- ■ gerous to the liberties of the people I People of Georgia, that is not the reason | why the clamor is raised against the Bank. It is j because it is not sufficiently dangerous to the j liberties of the people. It is because the law i requires that tiie money should be equally divi j ded amongst the people, and because the direc i tors have complied with the requisitions of the i law. It is because, that the magnates of the i land cannot get all the funds of the State to themselves—because they cannot lay hold of it, appropriate it to themselves, and vest it in I projects, which will enslave you. It is expec ted that a large amount of money will shortly come into the Treasury of Georgia, and it is with a view of lingering that all this clamor is raised against the Central Bank—ls they can only prejudice you against the Central Bank, I they iiope they may succeed in borrowing the I million of dollars, that is coming from the ; United States, for a number of years, at two or three per cent, instead of its being divided out among you in small sums, such as your necessi ties may require, and such as may save from the constable the bed on which your children sleep. Mr. Gieue pretends to be afraid that before long tbe Central Bank will “contend' with the people for the power.” Why does not Mr. Gieue fear the same thing from the Rail Roads, and Rail Road Banks that were chartered at the last session of the legislature, with millions of capital ? Their object and their interest are to acquire power 1 Are they not already “con tending with the people for the power.” Are not more than half the Editors of the State al ready in their power, either from fear or cor ruption I Are their papers not already con stantly teeming with productions in favour of : Rail Roads? Do they ever publish any thing I against them ? Sometime ago, Mr. Gieue was, j at his own request, furnished with some num bers in opposition to Rail Roads for the purpose jof publishing them, which he said h.*, had been ' requested to do, but when he saw them, hecon- I eluded I suppose, that it would not do to give i them publication, or perhaps he may have re ; ceivcd orders upon tho subject, which he was ■bound to obey. Has it never entered into the heads of these tnen who arc so careful of the liberties of the people, that these Rail Road companies with ! their large Banks may “contend with the people 1 lor the power ? ” and that they may prove , dangerous to the liberties of the people. Arc ' they not already l > contending with the people I for the power ?” Are they not taking posscs ; sion of the lands of the people without their con j sent ! People of Warren county ! of every other comity where a Rail Road is run resist the I encroachments of these monsters, whenever you i do not choose io give up your laud—the cousti jution ptescrilx x the mode in which the titles io land arc to be tried, and the Inferior court has no right to decide it. If their agents come I upon your lands by force, put them off by force; j you will see by reference to the penal code of I 1833, that you have the right to do it—see Acts of 183.5, p. 182, under the hetel of Foicibl<? en- try and Detainer. You will then find that you may keep possession of your land by force, and it they bring a greater force than your’s, you can put them off by legal process. Ilss it never seemed possible to these sapient and patriotic Editois, who see in the Central Bankso much cause of alarm for the safety of the liberties of the people, that these Rail Road I Banks might possibly exercise a dangerous influ ence in elections. Suppose we taken view of the comparative power of these institutions to operate injurious ly to the rights and liberties of the. people—We will coniine ourselves for the present, to their I power in elections. Suppose the Rail Road interest of the conn- I try desirous to have members in the Legislature I to suit their own views—to accomplish some I object for the advancement of their interest. I Rail Roadsare now being laid out through near- | ly half the counties in the State. In each of: the counties they will, in the first place make I it a business, because it will be their interest, to i have stockholders, who will, of course, be the wealthiest and most influential men of the conn- I try. In the next place they will inevery coun ty have agents, store-keepers, ware-housemen toll gatherers, &c. ail of whom will Im entitled to vote and dependent upon these stockholders for their support. Would it not be likely that under such circumstances they would be able j to succeed in electing to the legislature such men : as they should desire to have elected ! But this is not all, they ate incorporated with large banking privileges—they can lend to any man as much money as they please, and can collect it when they please: not so with the Central Bank—it can lend no man more than twenty-five hundred dollars, and once it has loaned it to him, the bank can compel him to pay only one fifth of it annually—so that he has five years to pay 'he debt, in consequence of which the Central Bank very rarely has the i power to press a man for debt. But suppose the Rail Road Banks had the ( million of dollars already in the Central Bank, j and the million that it is expected she will re- i ceive from the General Government, thev would then have the whole monied capitol of; the State in their hands, they would use it only I for their own benefit, and when they loaned to I a mau, it would be only to ensnare him in their ! toils, that they might control him as they pleas- ' ed. People of Georgia, hold on to the Central I Bank, so long as that institution exists, and is I managed as it has been, it will supply you with 1 a little money to answer your purposes when : you get into a tight place, and will give vou time to work for the money to pay it back again. , It is true it will not supply the speculator witii j his thousands, to grind you to dust, but it will; supply the industrious poor man, who has been ' unfortunate, with enough to rescue his property from the gripingsofa hungry creditor. HENRY. Mr. Editor : 1 dislike to obtrude myself on the public in a ' news paper publication, but imdercxistiiigcircum- I stances, 1 feel myself fully excusable in doing so. j I have witnessed with reluctance, my name con- ; nected with several publications in the Miner’s j Recorder, under the editorial head of that paper, abusing Col. William N. Bishop; and the peculiar ; manner that my name is made to appear in con nection, and as my silence would give as it were, ; my assent to said pieces, induces me now to ap- ( pear before the public. When the first one ap- . peared, I believed it to fie the result of personal ambition, as I knew the Editor and Bishop were l unfriendly, and supposed that it would be no fur- I ther pursued ; but after that article had been ex plained in Bishop's reply, w hich appeared in your paper, 1 acknowledge my surprise, on perusing in ; itis paper of July 23d, another long article consist- ! [ iiig of personal abuse, and repetition of tw ice and I thrice refuted calumnies, it is true, Bishop and ’ I myself have not had any friendly intercourse for a ; j space of time, as stated by him,hut I have careful- ; ly examined his piece in explanation of Gath- ; right’s first publication, and as far as it comes I j under my knowledge, I willingly indorse for its ; correctness, and consider it a candid relation of . ; facts as they existed. lam sorry to feel compel led to speak thus plainly, as I, in doing so, may bring down the ambition of this Editor on me, am! may expose myself to his spleen through the col umns of the Spy in the li'esl; but a strict sense of justice to my own feelings, as well as the character of another, compels me to make this statement.— The Editor must have been hard run, when he attacked the political honesty of Bishop, as none of his worst enemies have, ever before, attempted that. As to his charge against him about the Jury case, 1 am astonished I for I, myself, 1 believe, in the presence of tins Editor, informed several gen tlemen, in the midst of the hardest feelings betw ceil myself and Bishop, that to my ow n knowledge, lie was not to blame in that matter; and further, this matter has been strictly scrutinized in the columns of the news papers, and in the court house, mid Bishop has been fully sustained. As to the Mur ray County Resolutions, that matter lias under went judicial investigation, and the persons held blameless; and as to the third charge, 1 have noth ing to say, only, 1 regret truly to see personal am bition so entirely destroy that dignity, so essential to the conducting of a public journal; ami as to the 4th—the John Howard Payne case, 1 refer him to the certificates of Wm. Y. Hansell, W. Un derwood, Charles 11. iNelson, and much other co roborating testimony, shewing the unwarrantable i conduct oi this man Payne, and his intermedling I disposition, which he will find in Maj. B. F. Cur : ry’s defence to the charges preferred against him . by !i. I . White, in the Senate, which, f think, j 5 leaves Mr. White in rather an awkward situation, ! I and ought to convince the Editor, of the hnpro- ' priety of preferring charges against individuals for ; the purpose of gratifying persona! ambition and j private revenge. As I was the sufferer, and was j pi esent, and was one that adjusted the matter, and < had a perfect, knowledge of the whole tiansaction, ! and upon hearing the explanation offered by Col. ■ Bishop, I was fully and entirely satisfied .with him, . and I cannot see why the Editor of a public jour- I nal, could not feel himself satisfied, without those uncalled for, scurrilous publications. In conclusion I will inform Mr. Gathright, that I think him rather unfortunate, in his notice of tbe result of the Militia elections in this county, for Col. Bishop was absent at that time; and knew nothing of any such election. I was present and participated in the election, and confess 1 was de feated in my choice. The person elected, was an avowed White man, ami the other, Van Buren; and I do think, lor a person who claims himself to he the conductor of an oigan of a party, to exult in the defeat of that party, or any of its members, ridiculous, jdo not consider the result of that e lection a fair test, iff the strength of the parties in this county for various reasons ; but, if 1 am mis taken, I shall he proud to know, that I am in the minority, acting with t on Turin Union men, in preference to being in the majority, acting with White whigs ami Nullifiers. GEORGE W. WACASER. FOR THE BTAN'DAItD OF UNION. No—s 3. Judge Jongstrcet’s Editorials remi.ud Federalism—- Proclamation and Force Hilt (taunts nominalions---altempted division —ltuin of the. Union party. “In truth,” says judge Longstreet, “we have boon ruled for years back by federalism under a new name. I hat such an assertion should have been ventured in the face of an intelligent coimiiiMiit y, is iijattrr oi nstoijishnicnt. What are the leading characteristics of Federalism ? I understand them to be, a disparagement of the rights of the Slates, and a disposition to enlai ue the powers oi the tederal government by con struction. The existing administration greatly respects the rights of the Slates, ami advises a strict constiiction ui the I'eilcial constitution, :Thi (.• appear ftoni unions ac\s and papers, THE STANDARD OF UNION. before, and since the proclamation and revenue collection bill. The most objectionable fea tures of the proclamation have been removed by authorized explanations, and the bill was even less objectionable than Mr. Jefferson’s celebrated Force Bill, which was sustained by the republicans of the South, as well as the North. What are the favorite measures of the federal party ? A national bank, a high tariff and a national system of internal improvement. All these are opposed by the existing adminis- I (ration. And yet, judge Longstreet says we arc ruled by “federalism ol the rankest kind.”' j “We need not therefore,” continues the judge, i I “be over squeamish about the politics of our ; next Chief Magistrate.” Judge Longstreet 1 I may persuade many of his associates to think j so. Indeed, 1 have no doubt many of them are ' I prepared to support Harrison, Webster, or, | “the most uncompromising federalist in the ! Union,” in preference to Mr. \an Buren. But be itjknowii, that many of them are not pre pared to do so ; and it may be presumed some \ of them will abandon the men who are. The ! Union party will not be persuaded, that “the I politics of our next Chief Magistrate” are, under I existing circumstances, a matter of minor im portance. Others, if they will, may believe it; i but the Union party know belter. “We believe,” says Judge Longstreet, “that I we should submit to any thing rather than cau- j cus nomination.” Is this the man who so zeal ously sustains a caucus candidate, judge White, for the presidency ? Is thistle man who af j sects such veneration for Jellerson, Madison and ; .Monroe, all of them caucus candidates. But judge Longstreet considers Mr. Van Bu ‘ ten as “the nominee of tiie president.’ And I are Union mep to abandon a man in whom they I have confidence, because the president prefers I him ? Certainly not. Mr. Van Buren is the I repreresentativc of their opinions, and they ' will sustain him. i “Deliver the country,” says judge Long i street “from Van Buren tactics, an J then to j other matters afterwards.” This is the svren ! song that is to lure the Union party to its des ; (ruction. Judge Longstreet well knows that if |he can get them to go with him in this matter, j he can get them to go with him in oilier matters. , They' may, ii they will, attend the call of an open ’ adversary ; t hey may, if they v. ill, respect the i advice of a man who has expressly said of that | portion oftbe Union, party who supports Mr. Van Buren, that “he most cordially wishes its I ruin;” that “he believes it is toiling to ruin the , country” &c. But they shall first hear the war ning voice of a friend. Fellow-Citizens of the Union partv ; in UNION ALONE is STRENGTH : DIVIS ION is DESTRUCTION. SUFFER this ARCH ADVERSAR'i to DIVIDE YOU ,1 suffer even your FRIENDS to Dl\ IDE YOU, and you are RUINED. Then, indeed wil judge Longstreet and his associates exult in that ' “RUIN” which he has so ardently and express ly invoked, and which they have so zealously endeavored to effect. August 22d, 1836. LACON. (From the Raleigh Standard.) THE ELECTION. The contest is over, and the result for Go ; vernor, is in ail probability, in favor of the I coalition candidate. For although the re i urn are not complete there are enough to sat isfy us that Gen. Dudley must succeed.— The election of Governor has not been as warmly contested as might have been expec ted as votes polled show that many' counties ] have not given their full vote. Whilst the I opposition counties have mostly voted to the utmost of their strength, those friendly ; to the administration have but in very' few instances voted to their full extent. To I whatever cause this may be ascribed wheth er to personal objections to our candidates ; arising from past or present causes; yet j such is certainly the fact tho’ much to be ; regretted, it plainly shows that this election is no curtain test of the strength of the two political parties. W hilst the east has acted with a manly and liberal spirit in sustaining Gov. Spaiglit although they so generelly differed from him in regard to the impor tant question of a Convention, the West seems illy to have rapaid him for having gone with her in favor of so favorite a measure. In this as in other matters great injustice lias been done him arising from prejudices not well founded, but nevertheless, not to be surmounted. The election for members of the Legis ! lature lias been much more animated, and ! though the exertions on the part ol the op position as will always be tiie case, have I been more stretieous, than oa that of the friends of tbe administration, the result has not been so favorable to him as in the election lof Governor. Here again the friends of Mr. Van Buren had difficulties to contend with of the most serious character. At the usual time of coming out as candidates great excitement existed upon the subject of slavery, ami much prejudice prevailed against M. V. Buren in regard to this matter. Gentlemen who were friendly to him could not be induced to enter a canvass, in which they foresaw that every species of art and deception were to be resorted to on the part 5 of the opposition which would require sac rifices on their part, which few were willing to make. Hence it uas that in every conn- i ty the most active and popular men of the opposition came forward on the While .tick et ami spared neither money time nor means; whilst it was often difficult even to .fill the ticket on the Van Buren side-—The result therefore under these circumstances, is much mote favorable than might have been rea sonably expected. I (’the Van Buren party have not a majority, our opponents certain ly have nothing to boast 01. If we have lost the victory we can say, with truth that our honor ami principles have been pre served ; which we fear, is more than can Ibe said in behalf of the coalition. So far then from desponding of the election of Mr. V an Buren in this State we feel every con fidence in success, and say to his supporters as their cause is identified with the best in terests of the country.. “ never give up the ship!” coxmu.Nicvrim.

FKIIIE UNDERSIGNED were appointed la by the Society a committee of publication and joint Editors of the work, until tiro next meeting of tbe Society. We have no interest in the work, except that which we take in the welfare of the country and honor of the State.

We shall be weak so long as we think we arc weak; and dependant until we make efforts to be independent, We hope all the friends of Literature in the State, and especially the Alumni of Franklin College, will patronizethcentcrpri.se both by word and deed.

An Eye Water that lias been in usu for nearly 10 years in this country, and up-, wards ol 20 years in England, where it w liist introduced by the celebrated Physician whose name it bears ; and emtfnating ficin so high a source, and from one too who had mado the art and theory of Medicine 1 is stidy for years, and !>i;< w exactly how every article th:ii enters into its composition would act, what eG feet it would produce, and who in a private practice second io none in England, had used the article with unexampled success—and while we arc confident that it sprung i'roni such a source, need any fear of using it. VV e till know that the Eyeis an important or gan, tiftn must not nor ought not to Le trifled with ; but when an article comes recommended by higa authority,and by the voice of thousand* who have felt its powerful efficacy i)i rp>tp|*illg health and strejigih to the diseased Eye we aio at once led to believe that it is not one of those every day preparation with which our papei-A tire continually filled. It is an article that will recemmmid itself, and n quires no extraordinary' exertions or piili's to palm it upon tho public ; nor do wy wish to palm upon an enlightened publip thing .that can or will prove detri mental to them, But we say to onp arid all, come and try it, and you too will add your tes timony to those already received in favor of its virtues. We here annex a few certificates, as sured that all laboring with sore, weak or in* flamed eyes, will try the article ajju judge lor themselves. YVc leave the article to an impartial public to rise or fall by its own interests, Dear Sir— Having at your request made trial of several bottles of Dr. Adams’ Eye Water, and as you wish our opinion of its efficacy, duty rather than inclination obliges us frankly to acknowledge its salutary powers in restoring health and strength to tbe diseased eyes. Yours, R G Armitage, M. D' J 5 Vancooms, AL D.
