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. 11. B. MONTAGUE. ADDITIO.NAL CERT IFICAT ES. 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, R. R. <fc T. T. G.

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.

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'. PEDIGREE.

It will be seen by those conversant with the pedigrees of horses, that Truffle’s blood is not only rich, but be is deeply imbued with the biood of the best horses of their day, and many of these the best that the world afforded. RICH ARC ROWELL. Feb. 14 s—ts. THE THOROUGH BRED HORSE. AHAB. tf-AST"!!.!. st nd the ensuing season at the house '»* 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 insure, to be paid as soon as the fact is ascertained, or the properly transferred; and one dollartothe groom in every instance. Good and extensive 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 I veat* old. Hot Bnitnce is also the dam of a two voir oi l Arctiio filly of such promise as to 1 iodtieu Mr* Mingo* her owner to enter Into ti 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. (Signed; WILLIAM R. JOHNSON. M iking the sum of near $20,0b() 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 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.

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.
