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. 'll. B. MONTAGUE. 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, R.K.&T.T. G. lItNTINCITON, I 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. WMF. R. RUFFIN. I September 9. , 34—ts. <xEOH<;i/l, TIfESHAA MOHIWOCm, 28, 1837.

To the ILotYcrs of Fine Horses 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. T R UFFLE was sired by Truffle of Enganland ■ he by Sorcerer, by Trumpetor, by Conductor, i by Matchem, by Cade, by the Godolphian A- I rabian the dam of Truffle was Helen By Whis- I key, by Saltain, by Eclipse, By Marske, by Bartlett’s Childers, by the Darley Arabian, the dam of Helen was Brown Justice, by Justice, out of Zenia, by Challenger Xantippe, by E clipse, the Dam of Old Truffle, was by Buz zard, lie by Woodpecker, by Herod by Tartar, by Partner, by Gig, by the Beverly Turk, Whiskey the Sire of Helen, by Sahara, by E clipse, the dam of Whiskey, by Herod, the dam of Woodpecker, by Cade, by the Godolpltin A- ; rabian, Virago, the dam of Sahara, by Snap, by I Snip, by the Flying Childers, by the Darley Arabian. It will be seen by those conversant with the | pedigrees of horses, that Truffle’s blood is not j only rich, but he is deeply imbued with the biood of the best horses of their day, and many 1 of these the best that the world afforded. RICHARC ROWELL. Feb. 14 s—ts. 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 I horse on the continent, of bis grade I A short list of winning coifs is subjoined to gratify those ol our friends who have not au op portunity of referring at all times to the Tuts RegLstet ; and in almost every instance where btscolts were not winners, they were the con tending nags: Novetubor 1832.-—At Norfolk, for silver cup and urn, mile heats, best three in five ; wou bv Arabia helix, by Arab at four heats, beatuig an Eclipse and three others.
