Dear Sir:— l am this morning in receipt id I
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
in every section, that I have, as vet, not been
able to supply the orders that have been some
time on hand. 1 have had an order from Au
gusta, Georgia, ami Savannah, since last win
ter, and only last week sent one groce to eact
place. Dr. E. R. Calhoun, of South Carolina, '
has contracted for that State and Georgia, and
I have shipped to him near five thousand hot
ties, all that 1 could spare. As soon as 1 can, i \
will send him more; but when, 1 cannot sav, a- ;
I must divide it as well as 1 can, until 1 can sup
ply each State fully. 1 will domyselt the pleas
ure of requesting Dr. Calhoun to establish an a
gency at your office as soon as other engage
meats will allow. 1 have been putting up near
Iv two thousand per day, and now find myself
in want of about fifty thousand for immediate
use, and have not fifteen bottles, but what are '
packed up for shipment. From the present de- ,
maud, I should not be surprised, if it were to
take five hundred thousand bottles a year to sup
ply the demand.
Yours respectfull v, <fcc.

Alhemaki.e, April, 1836.
Dear Sir:—We suppose you like good news,
particularly when yuu arc mostly interested.
We have but two bottles left of the box of Bahn j
you sent us. You can draw at sight for y ,
which we believe will be the amount, after de- '
ducting commission and expenses We will
thank you to send to our friends, Messrs. * * * t I
of Richmond, by first conveyance, a double box,
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
(witli him) rheumatism, as he had tiie 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 I
ladies are using it with the tooth-brush, and say !
that it is the best thing for the teeth and gums !
they liityg ever used. We are glad, for the sake i
of the siiiiereis, as well as on your account, I
that this remedy is not only not oi Northern or- '
igin, (from whence all the patent nostrums J
come,) but is a Virginia prepiration, and by a
Virginian. Nor does it detract from its eliicacy,
on account of the place of its preparation, (Pe
tersburg.) once styled by Mr. Jelferson, «the
“cockade of America.” it seems to us, that
ail you now have to d >, is to see to it, that you
keep a supply sufficient for the dem in I —lor if
it sells elsewhere a.-, it has done here, there wdi
he no end to the demand. Several merchants
of my acquaintance, mean to send for a box.
Allow us to congratulate you, and the public,
at tlie discovery and use of the only remedy (ex
cept drawing) for tooth-ache, that has yet been
discovered.
Respectfully vours,

We had tried all the remedies which w. r.- in
our reach ; an attempt was made to extract t ;e !
tooth, but broke it off. I caused the B tint to .
be used after warming it in a cup—this was re
peated with a second spoonful, when she va
entirely relieved. The next night she came fin
more, saying that a tooth on the otiier si.l
itched, and also lequested some lor her hu-dian i
who, she said, had been suffering with the sam
disease for some weeks. I cheerfully gave it,
and the next day on inquiry found that both wer
relieved. One of in v neighbors of' high respec
tability sent to me for some for his wife. I

THE IMPORTED HORSE.
TRUFFLE is a rich Mahogany Bay, and
as to symmetrical, grind, and majestic, appear
ance is second to no liorse living, his blood is
■mquestioiiiible, his size unr vnimotl, being six
teen hands high, and his form superior to most
ol true blooded horses, this distinguished horse
is now a citizen of Georgia. The one half of
Fruifle is owned by Ex-Governor James Bai'-
bour, of Virginia, and the other half belongs to
Richard Rowell of Baldwin county Gcoigia.
He will stand the ensuing season at the planta
tion Bi* LFAST, eight miles übove Milledge
ville, on the Eatonton Road, and lie 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 prove in Foal, the same person
bringing the same mare shall have the fall sea
son gratis. The season money will be expec
ted on or before the expiration of the season,
which will commence on the fust day of July
next.
No accountability for accidents, though all the
attention will be paid that can be, as TRUF
FLE will be under my immediate control.
Any mare sent to remain with Truffle, will be
fed with grain at ten dollars per mont.lt. Good
pasturage gratis'.

'»* of Maj. THOMASG. SANDFORD, three
miles North of EATONTON, and will be let to
mares at thirty-five dollars the season, which may
be dtsclia gi*d by the payment of thirty dollars tl
paid beforre the season expires; fifty dollars to

or the properly transferred; and one dollartothe

pasturage will be provided for mves from a dis
tance, and tfiey 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 Ntallion to the public at this interest
ing and favorable period in .he history ofthe |
blood horse of the south—a period of which |
the gay and sprightly offspring of Mark Galla- I
tin, Potomac, Whip, and Andrew, are eliciting
the admiration of a large portion of the conunu
nity, and commanding the attention of the
sporting world. To the progeny of all these,
we can with confidence recommend AR AB as
a most valuable cros.-., in support of which, we
have these very powertul reasons: his purity of
blood, his tremendeous size, his exquisite and
incomparable beauty, all ot whit'll he combines
in a higher degree than any other horse now on
the continent. We mean no disparagement to
others ; lint 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 D.un of Arab, sold for $2-
900, after she was 19 years old ; Coquette for
•■jlO 0, after site had broke down ; and for a
brood in ire, Bersheba would have commanded
any price her owner would have '.sked, but she
died when going into her secon 1 training. She
was thought by her trainers to be the best
marc the world ever produced. Ford Janette,
$2,5 *0 were refused, Tariffit is believed sold
for $3000,; for Eliza Kirby. 2,500 has been re
used ; $2, '59 ws refits <1 for Gen. Brooke the
last son ol Bet Bounce, and Arab himself sold
for ssooi', 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 he unquestionable :
“Bet Bounce and her stock are among our
first laviiriies 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 thou
sand dollar-; she was the dam of Arab, whoso
Banding and character is admitted. OfLadv
Hamilton, by Sir Arthur (the dam of Arab)
iier first coh, that was sold for 1,509 dollars of
Coquette, by Sir Archie, that 1 sold for 1,0 «
rvfler breaki ig down. She was the dam of
I Jeannette, by Archie, that I gave fifteen hnn
dred dollars fur, and refused 2,5 0; also Bv
rtm' by Virginian,, which at two years old, sold
lot ofSilvertail, (.1 fi'ly) by Archi-
tbat commanded at one vear old 0 ; of a
two year oi l Archie Filly that would bring
SIOO : ami <rf a sucking filly at her side, bv
Medley, for which S6OO has been offered.
I i*et Bounce was also the dim of Bersheba bv
i Archie tha' died s' three years if.♦, an! was the
i fivnrim ofthe fvnifv. She newer appeared in
. public but once, wh<**t she ronton l it with the
| son as o! I Be, that ! gave SIO9O for at 11
I months oil. Solly MeVri le, hr Virginian, her
j daughter, I -old for $1,60 before she was a

sweepstake at New-York, to bit run for
next spring, there are 17 subscribers at 500
dollars each: and of a yearling colt bv Archie,
that told me he had offered $5 0 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 tint •, 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.

of them not three years old. Stronger ot mote
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 the 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 winnets as almost a—
ny other horse now living. Our limits will not
permit us to go into lengthy details, but will give
below the performance oi a sufficient number of
his colts to establish the fact, that he is the sire
of race borsos ofthe very first order, for which
purpose il is only necessary to mention a few of
his first colts, that were three years old in 1.830.
They made their ap[>carance on the Turf in
in North Carolina, Virginia and N. York of this
year, and won for themselveslattrels 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 S6OO, against Max
well’s Filly, by Eclipse a single two miles,
which he ran wttl. great ease. He 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, lie 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, 21 heat won
by six inches. One at Lawrenceville, beating
a Sir Charles ; one at Salisbury, beating a Di
on, at 4 heats ; one al New Market, beating
lour others at two heats, one minute fifty*-tliree
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 minutes 3 seconds, and
the third heat by the Filly, in 1 minute 55 sec
onds. Since which bis colls have been running
with unp.at ailed success in various parts ofthe
United States, and particularly in Virginia, as
will be seen by the following extract of a letter
from Mr. Thomas Goode T • ker, a gentleman
of high standing and character, of Brunswick
county, Virginia. Speaking of Arab he says,
“Some of his get at this time, though in young
nid inexperienced hands, are gathering the
launds, even with such men as Johnson and,
W ynn as their competitors. Tuberouse and
Bethany will build a high reputation which can
not be pulled 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 vile
and insiduous attack of interested jockeys,
’tis ARAB.”
PEDIGREE.
ARAB is a beautiful dark bay, over 19 |
hands high, honest measure, of fin’ carriage
and action, and commanding presence ; was
sired by the well known and celebrated stallion
Old Sir Archy, of whom nothing need be said ;
his dam old Bet Bounce by the imported horse
Sir Henry, his grandam by Hart’s imported
horse Sir Henry, his grandam by Hart’s im
ported Medley, great-grandam by old Mark
Anthony, g.g. grandam by imported Jolly Ro
ger, out ofthe imported mare Jemmy Cannne
ron.
(Signed) JAMES J. II ARRSION.
The 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
rah and Bersheba, as the very best racers of
the day, and gives Arab’s performances as fol
lows :
“ At three years old, be beat Defiance, a full
brother to W ashingtoi), (by Timoleon) two mile
heats, at three heats. This race was won by
Fhrtilla, owing to circumstances. Twenty
days afterwards, lie beat Flirtilla, at Halifax,
N. C. two mile heats for the great stake—three ,
days afterwards, ho 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, he mot
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 four miles. lie then run a trial of two miles
out with the celebrated Henry, beating him
from 60 to 70 yards, and making the run, with
training shoes on, says one ofthe timers, in
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 mare Janette, that won 14 out of 16
races, and died young. She was nearly allied
to ARAB, coming out of his full sister, and
begotten by his father. After running three
mik-s or more, Arab was going ahead as hard as
the boy could pull him from 69 to 80 yards, and
suddenly, for the first time in his life, he stopp
ed till she had passed him 159 yards, lie
then started again, a ' in the throe quarters of
a mile overhauld her and stopped again, and
lost the heat, and finally the race, as he positive
ly refused starting lhe 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
Johnßichards, Arab had crtainly distancedhim.
Enough, however has been said to show his
superiority as a racer. In fact his racing pow
ers have never been questioned nor indeed can
tin v be. As regards blood he cannot be sur
passed : nothing could be more pure at his foun
tain, and not one drop of impurity in any ofthe
tributary streams. As regar ls his size .and
beauty, we honesty believe his equal cannot
be found in any living horse. We therefore in
vite the public to Conte and see, and judge for
themselves ; for an attempt at a correct descrip
tion of this unequalled liotse would be less than
useless. He combines and all the strength and
bofdnes of the lion with the beauty and activit*.
ot the roebuck, and is unquestionably ,ihe be.
qualified horse on earth to produce horses of al*
uses ; an I ns it is hut pist that we should render ;
valitanblo consideration in return fir what w
receive we offer Arab’s services to the public on
. more re is in iblo terms than those of any othei
horse on the continent, of his grade
■ A s’hrtrl list of winning colts is sußJoined to
gratify those of our friends who have not an op
portunity of retort ing at all times to the Turf
Registei ; and in almost every instance where
biscuits were not winners, they were the con
tending nags:
November 1832. \t Norfolk, for silver cup i
and urn, mile heats, best three in five ; won by I
Arabia Felix, by Arab at four heats, beating
in Eclipse and three others.
Same fall, at Jerusalem, she won the 2 mile
heats in three minutes 52 second,and 3 minuites
55 sconds.
Same fall at New Hope, bay mare (Bry
ants) Arab won tiie one mile heats, beating two
Same fall, at Jackson N. C. she won the one

Spring 1831, at Belfield, she won the 3 miL
heats for the Jockey Club purse, S4OO, at 4

Spiing 1834 Row Galley, by Arab won tin*
Proprietor’s purse, 2 mile heats, beating will

Spring 1833, at Paris Tennessee colt race

being a Napoleon, and others.
Same spring, at Belleforte, Handy Cap. best

Charles and a Monsieur Tonsou, at 5 heats.
Fall of 1833, at New Matket, sweepstakes,
for three year olds, won by Rosetta Kendall,
beating two Medleys. And who in the South
and West has not heard of Bass’ Filly? the far
famed Rebecca Smith, now Betsey Rushlous ;
who is still beating al) competitors, and win
ning fresh laurels in Miss, where she was taken
and sold for $1,500 before she was three years
old ? As lof the unparalled success of Tartar
by .Arab, who in five contests vanquished with
ease all his competitors, among whom was cele
brated Robin Hood, at 3 heats with many others
that could be mentioned. The above, however
shows that Arab’s colts have contended repea
tedly &. successfully with the colts of most ofthe
ci lebated horses in America, at all distances,
from 1 to 16 miles, sustaining the high charac
ter of their distinguished ancestor.
Now is the opportunity offered to the citi
zens of Georgia, for breeding from this noble
horse. Those wishing to improve their stock,
know their interest.

it had been thus owned, should name tie per
son, and the command to which he belonged.
\nd in every instance in which the claim may
extend to equipage, die several articles of which
he same consisted, and lhe separate value of
each, should bo specified.
Second Class o f Cases.
The soco il section ofthe law enacts:
“That anv person Who, in t.>e sa. . i.itary

States, either by impressment orcontract, ex
cept in cases where the risk to uhich the prop
erty would be exposed was agreed to be incur
red by the owner, if it shall appear that such
loss capture or destruction was without any
fault or negligence ou the part of the United

To establish a claim under this provission, it
will be necessary to produce the testimony *f
the officer or agent ofjtbe United States wb»
impressed or Contracted for the servioe of th*
the property mentioned iu such claim, and also
of the officer under weose immediate command

rent or guardian, shall be allowed pay therfor,
od making satisfactory proof as in other

the minor died without paying for such proper
