We desire such of our subscribers as may at

are ordered to be changed, but a search through |

SORE EYES.
THOSE afflicted with iiillamed or sore eves
should be aware of the great excellencies
of Ur. Adam's Eye /later, in the treatment of this,
troublesome affliction. It has been before the '
public but a short time, yet it has dready been
fairly tested in comparison with all the common ,
remedies, and with what success may be inferred
from the extensive demand now existin'* for it. i
and from the numerous testimonials of its value I
now in the hands of the proprietor, one or two I
of which it was deemed proper to subjoin.
Sir : It is with pleasure 1 state to you, that my '
wife who was troubled with sore eyes, was com- j
pletely cured by using one bottle of Dr. Adams’ I
Eye Witter.

TOOTH-ACHE:
Petersburg, la. 2 June, 1836. j
H. D. M’lntosh, Esq., Henry County, Ga.
Dear Sir:— l am this morning in receipt of
your favour of the 18th instant, requesting to
have some of the Balm sent out to your State as
soon as possible. Such is the pressing demand I
in every section, that 1 have, as yet, not been ;
able to supply the orders that have been some '
time on hand. I have had an order from Au
gusta, Georgia, and Savannah, since last win
ter, and only last week sent one groce to each
place. Dr. E. R. Calhoun, of South Carolina,
has contracted for that State and Georgia, and I
I have shipped to him near five thousand hot
ties, all that 1 could spare. As soon as I can, 1
will send him more; but when, I cannot say, as j
I must divide it as well ns I can, until I can sup
ply ctich State fully. I willdoinysclf the pleas
ure of requesting Dr. Calhoun to establish an a
geucy at your office as soon as other engage ,
mcuts’will allow. I have been putting up near
ly two thousand per day, and now find myself
in want of about fifty thousand for immediate I
use, and have not fifteen bottles, but what are |
packed up for shipment. From the present de- 1
maud, I should not be surprised, if it were to
take five hundred thousand bottles a year to sup
ply the demand.
Yours respectful!?, &c.

ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES.
Albemarle, April, 1836.
Dear Sir:— We suppose you like good news,
particularly when you are mostly interested. !
We have but two bottles left of the box of Bahn !
you sent us. You can draw atsight fors . , ’
which we believe will be tlie ampi'nt, after de
ducting commission and expenses •We will
thank you to send to our friends, Messrs. * * *, !
of Richmond, by first conveyance, a double box, j
which you will put at your wholesale price, for
which you can also draw on us. It has failed
in two instances in this neighborhood, but one of
the persons that we have seen, thinks it was
(with him) rheumatism, as he had the tooth
drawn, and the pain still continued.
Several persons have used it, with defective ,
gums, or scurvy, and are so much delighted with ;
it, that we are charged to keep a supply. The
ladies are using it with the tooth-brush, and say
that it is the best thing for the teeth and gums
they have ever used. We are glad, for the sake I
of the sufferers, as well as on your account,:
that this remedy is not only not of Northern or- ’
•gin, (from whence all the patent nostrums
come,) but is a Virginia preparation, and by a
Virginian. Nor does it detract from its efficacy, i
on account of the place of its preparation, (Pc- '
! tersburg.) once styled by Mr. Jefferson, jhe
j “cockade of America.” It scents to us, that
all you now have to do, is to see to it, that you
. keep a supply sufficient for the demand—for if
it sells elsewhere as it lias done here, there will j
'he no end to the demand. Several merchants |
i of my acquaintance, mean to send for a box.
j Allow us to congratulate you, and the public,
! at the discovery and use of the only remedy (ex- i
' cept drawing) for tooth-ache, that has yet been
I discovered.
Respectfully vours,

near Cabin Point, 24th March. (
| Dear Sir: I bought a bottle of your Balm
from Messrs. , in Petersburg, in Fehrua-
: ry, chiefly because I had a servant who had
suffered most excrutiatingly for some months.
: We had tried all the remedies which were in
our reach ; an attempt was made to extract the
! tooth, but broke it off. I caused the Balm to
i be used after warming it in a cup—this was re
: peated with a second spoonful, when she vas
■ entirely relieved. The next night she came for
more, saying that a tooth on the other side
| ached, and also requested some for her husband
who, she said, had been suffering with tin same
disease for some weeks. I cheerfully rave it,
and the next day on inquiry found that both were
relieved. One of my neighbors of hi«h respec
tability sent to me for some for his wife. 1
have this day seen him, and he assures me that
it afforded immediate relief, and there has been
ti ireturn ; before she suffered almost constant
ly,and could not bear to let cold water touch
I the tooth, and for two nights previous to theap-
I plication,she had not been ab|o to sleep scarce
|ly at all. Now she lias no inconvenience from
j cold water or anything else that comes in con
' tact with the tooth. The night before last he
I used some with one of his own men, with the
j same success, and says if he could have have had
I this remedy fifteen years ago, and known its <:‘-
1 ftcacy, he would willingly have given a hundred
j dollars for it. I have written in haste giving <t
I plain statement offsets.
Yours respectfully.

THE IMPORTED HORSE.
THUFFILE.
TRUFFLE is a rich Mahogany Bay, and
as to symmetrical, grand, and majestic, appear- j
mice is second to no horse living, his blood is {
unquestionable, his size uncommon, being six
teen hands high, and his form superior to most
of true blooded horses, this distinguished horse
is now a citizen of Georgia. Tite one half of
Truffle is owned by Ex-Governor James Bar
bour, of Virginia, and the other half belongs to
Richard Rowell of Baldwin county Georgia.
He will stand the ensuing season at the planta
tion BELFAST, eight miles übove Milledge
ville, on the Eatonton Road, and he will be let
to mares on the following terms: Fifty Dollars,
the season, and a dollar to the Groom, and one
hundred dollars to insure a mare in foal. Should
any person put a mare the spiing season, and
she does not [trove in Foal, the same person
bringing the same mare shall have the fall sea
son gratis. The season money will be expec
ted ou or before the expiration of the season,
which will commence on the fn st day of J uiy
next.
No accountability for accidents, though all the
attention will bo paid that can be, as TRUF
FLE will be under my immediate control.
Any mare sent to remain with Truffle, will be I
fed with grain at ten dollars per niont.h. Good ■
pasturage gratis.
PEDIGREE.

of these the best that the world afforded.

THE THOROUGH BRED HORSE.
AHAB.
WILL stand the ensuing season at the house
of Maj. THOMAS G. SANDFORD, three
miles North of EATONTON, and will be let to
tnares at thirty-five dollars the season, which may
be discharged by the payment of thirty dollars if
paid beforre the season expires; fifty dollars to
insure, to be paid as soon as the fact is ascertained,
or the property transferred; and oue dollartothe
groom iu every instance. Good and extensive
pasturage will be provided for mares from a dis
tance, and they will be fed with grain if directed.
All possible care will be taken to prevent acci
ents, but no liability for any that may happen.
The proprietors congratulate themselves
with having it in their power to present this
unrivalled Stallion to the public at this interest
ing and favorable period in die history of the
blood horse ot the south—a period of which
the gay and sprightly offspring of Mark Galla
tin, Potomac, Whip, and Andrew, are eliciting
the admiration of a large portion of the commu
nity, and commanding the attention of the
sporting world. To the progeny of all these,
we can with confidence recommend ARAB as
a most valuable cross, in support of which, we
have these very powerful reasons:, his purity of
blood, his tremondcous size, his exquisite and
incomparable beauty, all of which he combines
in a higher degree than any other horse now or.
the continent. We mean no disparagement to
others ; but in order to show the high esti
mation in which ARAB’S STOCK is held,
we will record a few facts which we think will
establish, beyond the least possibility of doubt,
their superiority.
Bet Bounce, the Dam of Arab, sold for $2-
900, after she was 19 years old ; Coquette for
.4101)0, after she had broke down ; and for a
brood mare, Bersbeba would have commanded
any price her owner would have -.sked, but she
died when going into her second training. She
was thought by her trainers to be the best
marc the world ever produced. For Janette,
.$2,500 were refused, Tatiffit is believed sold
for $3000,; for Eliza Kirby, 2,500 has been re
nted ; $2|250 w is rest sad f r Gen. Brooke the
last son of Bet Bounce, and Arab himselfsold
sot SSOOO, and cannot be bought at this
time not less than double that sum. These
plain, simple, and unvarnished facts, which
need no comment, are motioned for no other
purpose than to shew the great value of Arab’s
Stock, in confirmation of what has been
said, we will give an extract from a certificate
of Col. Wm. R. Johnson whose opinions in Vir
ginia, and every where else, are acknowledged
to be unquestionable :
“Bet Bounce and her stock arc among our
first favorites and I give the following facts for
thinking so : I sold the one half of Bet Bounce
at 19 years old. to Dr. Mingo, for one
sand dollars; she was the dam of Arab, wht so
standing and character is admitted. Os Lady
Hamilton, by Sir Arthur (the dam of Arab)
' her first colt, that was sold for 1,500 dollars of
: Coquette, by Sir Archie, that I sold for 1,0; (9
| after breaking down. She was the dam of
I Jeannette, by Archie, that I gave fifteen hun
dred dollars for, and refused 2,5' 0; also By
rom’ by Virginian,, which at two years old, sold
for $1,500; of Silvcrtail, (a filly) by Archi
that commanded at one year old s,ltn 0 ; of a
'two year old Archie Filly that would bring
$100it: and of a sucking filly at her side, by
Medley, for which S6OO has been offered.
Bet Bounce was also the d;ttn of Bersbeba by
Archie that died at three years old, and was the
favorite of the family. She never appened in
public but once, when she contended w th the
son of old Bet, that 1 gave SIOOO for at II
months old. Sally Mel'vi.le, by Virginian, her
daughter, 1 sold for $1,600 before she was a
year old. Bet Bounce is also the dam of a
two year old Archie filly of sqcli promise t.s to
induce Mr- Mingo, her owner to enter into n
sweepstake at .New-York, to be run for
next spring, there are 17 subscribers al 500
dollars each : and of a yearling colt by Archie,
that told me he had offered ssuo when he was
three weeks old. Iler stock are generally large
handsome and admired, and almost the whole
of them alluded to by me, would command
very high prices at this time, some of them three
or four times their cost. These sales have cer
tainly taken place. I have preferred stating,
to giving or procuring certificates.
(Signed; WILLIAM R. JOHNSON.
Making the sum of near $00,(M) that old
Bet and ten of her family actually sold for, and
some of them not three weeks old, and many
of them not three oi l. Stronger or more
substantial facts could not be urged in proof of
the exalted station occupied by Arab and his
stock in Virginia, and not a doubt can now be
entertained that his colts stand in the very first
rank of distinguished racers at ths present day,
to prove which we refer the public to the Amer
ican Turf Register, where it will be seen that
he has produced as many winners as almost ti
ny other horse now living. Our limits will not
permit us to go into lengthy details, but will give
below the performance of a sufficient number of
his colts to establish the fact, that be' is the sire
of tace horsos of the very first order, for which
purpose it is only necessary to mention a few of
his fust colts, that were three years old in 1830.
They made their appearance on the Turf in
in North Carolina, Virginia atid N. York of this
year, and won for themselves laurels which will
never fade. One at Tree Hill, beating an Ar
chie ; one at Long island beating an Eclipse
with others. The same colt (Parkes) was
then matched and run for $690, against Max
well’s Filly, by Eclipse a single two miles,
which he rail wttl. great ease, lie run at New
Holland with 100 pounds, against all ages, win
ning at two heats easily. At Lancaster he won
a match a single mile. He lost once out of
fiveraces, and then was beaten by the celebra
ted mile horse Fox, by Eclipse. All were as
tonished to see Fox run so closely by a three
year old, with a catch upon each, 2d heat won
by six inches. One at Lawrenceville, beating
a Str Charles ; one at Salisbury, beating a Di
on, at 4 heats ; one at New Market, beating
four others at two heats, one jninute fifty-three
seconds each heat; and one at Norfolk, beating
an Archie at three heats first heat won by Stan
dard, 1 minute 49 seconds—second heat won
by the Arab Filly, one minute 53 seconds, and
the third heat by the Filly, in 1 minute 55 sec
onds. Since which his colts have been running
with unparalled success in various parts of the
United States, and particularly in Virginia, as
will be seen by tlie following extract of a letter
from Mr. Thomas Goode Tucker, a gentleman
of high standing and character, of Brunswick
county, Virginia. Speaking of Arab hesays,
“Some of his get at this lime, though-in young
and inexperienced hands, are gathering the
laurels, even with such men as Johnson and
Wynn as their competitors. Tuberouse and/
Bethany will build a high reputation which can- i
not be [lulled down it. Virginia where the value 1
of his stock has lately increased at least fifty'
percent. If ever there was a horse that has
stormed the prejudices of a people, and tri
umphed by dint of Superiority over the vilo
and insitluous attack of interested jockeys,
’tisARAB.”
PEDIGREE.
ARAB is a beautiful dark bay, over 19
hands high, honest measure, of fine carriage
and action, and commanding presence; was
sired by the well known and celebrated stallion
Old Sir Archy, of whom nothing need be said ;
lits dam old Bet Bounce by the imported horse
Sir Henry, his grandatn by Hart’s imported
horse Sit Henry, his grandam by Hart’s im
ported Medley, great-grandam by old Mark
Anthony, g. g. grandam by imported Jolly Ro
ger, out of the imported mare Jemmy Camme
ron.
(Signed) JAMES J. HARRSION.
Tite same gentleman, after stating in the most
glowing terms, his opinion of Bet Bounce and
her stock, for he trained them all,] speaks of A
rab and Bersheba, as the very best racers of
the day, and gives Arab’s performances as fol
lows :
“ At three years old, he beat Defiance, a full
brother to VV asliington, (by Tiraoleon) two mile
heats, at three heats. This race was won by
Flirtilia, owing to circumstances. Twenty
days afterwards, he beat Flirtilia, at Halifax,
N. C. two mile heats for the great stake—three
days afterwards, he was entered against the cel
ebrated Sir Henry, and the heroine Janette, 3
mile heats. Here Arab’s superiority was clear
ly evinced, for be beat them both at three heats,
throwing away the first, and winning the first
and second and third heats. After that, be met
Defiance, and settled a four mile contest at one
heat. And in like manner fulfilled an engage
ment with a full sister to Carolinian, at one heat
of lour miles. He then run a trial of two miles
i out with the celebrated Henry, beating him
[ from 60 to 70 yards, and making the run, with
’ training shoes on, says one of the timers, in
I three minutes and forty-eight seconds ; per
haps the greatest gallop of two miles since the
days of Childress. After that, he was entered
in a four mile contest with that truly formida
ble race maro Janette, that won 14 out wf 16
races,and died young. She was nearly allied
to AR AB, coming out of his full sister, and
begotten by his father. After running three
mihs or more, Arab was going ahead, as hard as
the boy could puli him from 60 to 80 yards, and
suddenly, for the first time in his life, he stopp
ed till she had passed him 150 yards. He
then started again, and in the three quarters of
a mile overhattld her and stopped again, and
lost the heat, anti finally the race, ns he positive
ly refused starting the second heat and never
wouldrun kindly afterwards.”
His owner thinks, in making out his certifi
cate, that by some oversight, Capt. Harrison
omitted to mention one of Arab’s best races:
that Mr. James Summerville, of Warrenton, a
gentleman of undoubted veracity and character
assured him that in some four mile contest with
i Johnßichards, Arab had crtainly distaneedhim.
Enough, however has bee’ said to show his
sujieriority as a racer. In fact his racing pow
ers have never been questioned nor indeed can
they be. As regards blood he cannot be sur
passed : nothing could be more pure at his foun
tain, and not one drop ofimpurity in any of the
tributary streams. As regards his size and
beauty, we honesty believe his equal cannot
be found in any living horse. We therefore in
viie the public to come and see, and judge for
t! etnselves; for an attempt at a correct descrip
tion of this unequalled hotse would be less than
useless. He combines and all the strength and
[ bohlnes of the lion with the beauty and activity
: of the roebuck, and is unquestionably ,t|ie best
qualified horse on earth to produce horses of all
uses ; and as it is but just that wo should render a
valuanble consideration in return for what wo
receive wo oP’cr Arab’s service: t ts e public < n
j more reasonable terms than tho e of any other

portunity of referring at all times to the Tuts

shows that Arab’s colts have contended repea- i
tedly & successfully with the colts of most of the 1

from 1 to 16 miles, sustaining’ the high charac- ;
ter of tlreir distinguished ancestor. j

All claims under the provisions of this act
must be presented at the office of the Third
Auditor of the Treasury Department before the

Eirst Class op cases.
By the first section of the law it is enacted :

tain damage by the loss of any horse by death, j
or abandonment, in consequence of the United
States failing to supply sufficient forage, of be
cause the rider was dismounted and separated
from his horse, and ordered to do duty on foot at
a station detached from his horse, or when the
officer in the immediate command ordered or
shall order, the horse turned out to graze in
the woods prairies or commons, because the
United Stales faile i or shall fail, to supply suf

as aforesaid, shall be allowed and paid the val
ue thereof: Provided, That if any payment
has been or shall be made to any one aforesaid,
for the use and risk, or for forage after the death,

shall be deducted from the value thereof, un
less he satisfied or shall satisfy, the paymaster
at the time he made or shall make the payment
or tboroaftor sbjjw by proof, that he re

ly extend to the time he was on foot: And,
provided also, if any payment shall have been,
or shall hereafter be, made to any person a

To establish a claim under this provision,
the claimant must adduce the evidence of the
officer under whose command he served wh n
the loss occurred, if alive,; or, if dead, then
of the next srtrviving officer; describing the

not it was sustained without any fault or negli
gence on claimant’s part. The evidence
should also, tn case the elaimant was remounted
after the loss, state when he was remounted,
how long he continued so, and explain whether
the horse whereon he was remounted had not '
been furnished by the United States, or been '
owned by another mounted militia man, or vol
unteer, to whom, payment for the use and riske
thereof, or for its forage, whilst in the possession
of the claimant may have been made ; and if
it had been thus owned, should name the per
son, and the command to which he belonged.
Ami in every instance in which the claim may
extend to equipage, the several articles of whir h
the same consisted, and the separate value of
each, should bo specified.
Setnnd Class of Cases.
The second section of the law ctvic;s :
“That any person who, in tie s?.id iiitarv
setvicc, or draughted militiaman, .t.rnisned or
shall furnish himself with arms and militarv ac

: and when the loss occurred, and whether or not
it was sustained without auy fault or negli-
I gence on his part.
Third Class if Cases.
1 be third section of the law enacts :
“ fiiat any person who sustained or shall sus
tain damage by the loss, capture or destruction,
by an enemy, of any horse, rutile, or wagon,
cart, boat, sleigh, or harness, while such prop
erty was in thu military service of the Uuitod
j States, either by impressment or contract, ex
cept tn cases whetc t 0 tbc prop .
city wgux. be evpo:d ineur-

loss ‘capture or destruction was
fault or negfi'gence on the part of the United
Stat 's, to furnish the same with sufficient for
age, shall be allowed and paid the value tliere
off.
To establish a claim under this provission, it
will be necessary to produce the testimony of
the officer or agent of the United States who
impressed or contracted for the ser vice of tiro
the psoperty mentioned in such claim, and also
of the officer under weose immediate command
the same was employed al the time of capture,
destruction loss, or abandonment ; declaring
in what why the projwty was taken into the ser
vice of the United States, the value thereof,
whether or not the risk to which it would be ex
posed was agreed to bo incurred by the owner,
whether or not as regarded horses, mules, or ox
en, he.eng.tged. to supply the same with suf
ficient,forage in what i.wnner the loss happen
ed, and whether or not it was sustained without
any fault or ncgligenc."on his part.
The sixth section of the law enacts :
“That in all instances where any miner has
been, or shall be engiiged in the military ser
vice .of the United States, and was, or shall be
provided with a horsp or equipments, or with
military accoutrements, by his parent or guar
dian, and has died or shall die without paying
for said property, and the same has been, or
seall be lost, captured, destroyed, or abandon
ed, in the manner before mentioned, said pa
rent or guardian, shall be allowed pay therfor,
od making satisfactory proof as in other Cases,
and the further proof that he is entitled thereto,
by havihg furnished the same.”
A parent or gttatdian ofa deceased minor,
will, therefore in addition to such testimony ap

have to furnish proof that lie provided the mi
nor with the property therein mentioned ; that
' the minor died witliouj paying for such proper
| tv'; and that he, the parent or gnardiati, is en
! titled to payment for it, by bis having furnished
the same.
The seventh section of the law enacts :
“That in till instances where any persons
other than a minor, has been or shall be en
gaged in the military service aforesaid, and has
been or shall be provided with a horse or e
qnipments, or with military accoutrements, by
any person, the owner thereof, who has risked,
or shall |take the 4 risk of such horse, equip
ments, or military accoutrements on himself,,
and the same has been or shall be lost, cap
tured destroyed or abandoned, in the manner
before mentioned, such owner shall be allowed
pay therefor, on making satisfactory proof, as
in other cases, and the further proof that be is

and having takan the risk on himself.”
Besides the testimony in support of his claim*
herein before required, every such owner, thera—
i fore, will have to prove that he did provide tHe

In no case the production of the evidence,
previously described, be dispensed with,unless
| the impracticalility of producing it be clearly
proved, and the nearest and best other evidence,
oi which the care may be susceptible, must bo
furnished in lieu thereof.
Every claim must be accompaniedby
