CHANGE OF DIRECTION.
Wo desire such of our subscribers as may at
an v time wish the direction ot their papers chan
ged from one Post Oilice to another, to inform
v«, in nil rases, of the place to which they had
been previously sent; as the mere order to for
watu them to a different office, places it almost
out of o »r power,tocomply,because we have no
tneansof ascertaining the office from which they
uru ordered t > be changed, but a search through
•ur whole subscription Bock, containing severe
thousand names.

It is a stan ling rule with this olTicv, as wel

i Dear Sir:— l am this morning in receipt of
| your favoni 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 1 have, as yet, not been
I aide to supply the orders that have been some
time on hand. 1 have had an order from Au
gusta, Georgia, and Savannah, since last win
ter, ■and only last week sent one gtoce to each
place. Dr. E. R. Calhoun, of South Carolina,
. lias contracted for that Stale and Georgia, and
I have shipped to him near five thousand hot ]
I ties, all that 1 could spare. As soon as 1 can, 1
will send him more; but when, I cannot say, as ]
1 must divide it as well as I can, until I can sup- i
ply each State fully. 1 will domyself the pleas- ,
tire of requesting Dr. Calhoun to establish ana- ;
"ency at your office as soon as other engage ;
I ments will allow. I have been putting up near
i ly 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
mand, I should not be surprised, if it were to |
take live hundred thousand bottles a year to sup- j
ply the demand.
Yours respectfully, &c.

ADDIriONAL CERTIFICATES.
Albemarle, April, 1836.
Dear Sir:— We suppose you like good news,
particularly when yuti are mostly interested,
i \\ e have but two bottles left of the box of Balm ’
I you sent us. You can draw at sight for § , !
which we believe will be lite amount, after de- I
i ducting commission and expenses We will I
thank you to send to our friends, Messrs. * * * 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
(with hint) 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 wo tire charged to keep a supply. The
ladies are using it with the tooth-brush, and say I
that it is the best thing for the teeth and gums
they have ever used. We are glad, for the sake
! of the sufferers, as well as on your account, j
i that this remedy is not only not of Northern or- I
igitt, (from whence all the patent nostrums '
1 come,) but is a Virginia preparation, and by a
Virginian. .Nor does ii detract from its efficacy,
on account of the place of its preparation, (Pe
ter,burg,) once styled by Mr. Jefferson, the
“cockade ot America.” It seems to us, that
all you now have to do, is to sec to it, that you
keep a supply sufficient lor the demand—for if
it sells elsewhere as it has done here, there will
be no cn 1 to the demand. .Several merchants
of mv acquaintance, mean to send for a box.
Allow us to congratulate you, and the public,
at the discovery and use of the only remedy (ex- ■
ca.pt drawing) for tooth-ache, that has yet been ‘
I discovered.
Respectfully vours,

Dear Sir: I bought a bottle of your Bahn
from Messrs. , in Petersburg, in Februa-
ry, chiefly because 1 had a servant who had '
pilfered most cxcrutiatingly for some months. I
We. had tried all the remedies which were in I
our reach ; an attempt was made to extract the '
tooth, but broke it oil. I caused the Balm to |
be user] after warming it in a cup—this was re- i
pealed with a second spoonful, when she vas !
entirely relieved. The next night she came for i
more, saying that a tooth on the oilier side
ached, an I also teqiiested some fur her husband
who, she said, had been suffering with the same :
: disease lor some weeks. I cheerfully gave it, •
and the next day on inquiry loutid that both were |
relieved. One ot mv ii‘’iglibors oi hi'jh respec- '
lability sent to me for some for his wife. I
have this dav see,it him, and he assures me that
j it afforded immediate relief, and there has been
I n iretnrn ; before she suffered almost constant
ly,and could not bear to h l cold water touch
t the tooth, and for two nights previous to the ap
plication,she had not been able to sleep scarce
ly at all. Now she has no inconvenience from
cold water or anything else that comes in con
tact with the tooth. Tile night before hist he
used sonic with one of his own men, with the
same success, and says if he could have have had
i this remedy fifteen years ago, and known its c'-
j fleacy, ho would willingly have given :i hundred
; dollars for it. I have written in haste giving a
I plain statement offacts.
Yours restn clfiillv.

THE IMPORTED II RSE.
TBUFrSa
TRUFFLE is a rich Mahogany Bay, and
as to symmetrical, grand, and majestic, appear- i
ance is second to no horse living, his blood is '
unquestionable, his size uncommon, being six- I
teen hands high, and his form superior to most
of true blooded horses, this distinguished horse
is now a citizen of Georgia. The one half of
Truffle is owned by Ex-Governor James Bar
bour, of V irginia, and the other half belongs to
Richard Rowell of Baldwin county Georgia.
He will stand the ensuing season at the planta
tion Bl’ LEAST, eight miles übove Milledge
ville, on the Eatonton Road, and lie will be lot
,to mares on the following terms: Fifty Dollars,
the season, and a dollar to the Groom, and one
hundred dollars toinsure 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 liist 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.h. Good
pasturage gratis.

THE THOROUGH BRED HORSE.
WILL stand the ensuing season at the house
of Maj. THOMAS <4. SANDFORD, three
miles North of EATONTON, and will be let to
mares at thirty-five dollars the season, which may
be discharged by the payment of thirty dollars if
paid beforre the season expire.; fifty dollars to
insure, to be paid as soon as the fact is ascertained,
or the property iransferred ; and one dnllarto the
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 acei
cuts, but no li ability 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 .he history oflhe I
blood horse oi the south—a period of which i
, the gay and sprightly offspring of Mark Galla- I
tin, Potomac, Whip, and Andrew, are eliciting !
the admiration oi a large portion of the commu
nity, and commanding the attention of the i
sporting world. To the progeny of ail these,
we can with confidence recommend AR AB as |
a most valuable cross, iu support of which, wo
have these very powerful reasons: his purity of
blood, bis ‘ tremendeous size, his exquisite and
incomparable beauty, all oi which he combines
in a higher degree than any other horse now on
the continent; We mean no disparagement to
others ; hut in order to show the high esti
mation in which ARAB’S STOCK is held,
we will record, a few facts which we think ’.ill
establish, beyond the least possibility of doubt,
their superiority.
Bet Bounce, the Dam of Arab, sold for .4:2-
900, after she was 19 years old ; Coquette byu
silOi 0, after she had broke down ; and -for a

time not less than <doiible that sum. These !
plain, simple, aitd “nnvarnished facts, which '
need no comment,, lirit nielioned for no other i
purpose than to great value of Arab’s
Stock. In confirmation of what has been I
said, we will give jju extract from a certificate !
of (fol. Win. R. Joltjison whose opinions in Vir- |

to be uttqiiesliimable :

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,

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 he is the sire
of t ace liorsos of the very first order, for which
purpose it is only necessary to mention a few of
his first colts, that were three years oh’ in 1830.
They made their appearance on the Turf in
in North Carolina, Virginia and N. York of this
year, and won for themselves laurels which will
never lade. One at Tree Hili, beating an Ar
chie ; one at Long island beating an Eclipse
with others. The same colt (Parkes) was
then matched and run for §60(1, 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 lie won
a match a single mile. He lost once out of
fiveraces, and then was beaten by the celebra
ted mile horse Fox, by Eclipset All were as
tonished to see Fox run so closely bv a three
year old, with a catch upon each, 2d heat won
by six inches. One at Lawrenceville, beating
a Sir Charles ; one at Salisbury, beating a Di
on, at 4 heats ; one at New Market, beating
lour others at two heats, one minute 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 runniu"’
with unparallcd success in various parts of the
United States, and particularly in Virginia, as
will be seen by the following extract of a letter
from Mr. Thomas Goode Tucker, 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
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
not be pulled down it. Virginia where the value
of his stock lias 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 insiduons attack of interested jockeys,
’tis ARAB.”
PEDIGREE.
ARAB is a beautiful dark bay, over 19
hands high, honest measure, of tins carriage
and action, and commanding presence ; was
sired by the well known and celebrated stallion j
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 Jo'lv Ro
ger, out of the imported mare Jemmy Camme
ron.
(Signed) JAMES J. Il VERSION.
Tiie same gentleman, after stating in the most
glowing terms, his opinion of Bet Bounce and I
her stock,for lie trained them all,] speaks of A '
rah and Bersheba, as the very best racers of |
the day, and gives Arab’s performances as fol- j
lows:
“ At three years old, he beat Defiance, a full ’
brother to Washington, (by Timoleou) two mile I
heats, at three heats. This race was won bv i
Fhrtilla, owing to circumstances. Twenty i
days afterwards, he beat Flirtilla, at Halifax, i
X. C. two mile heats for the great stake—three I
days afterwards, he was entered against the cel- i
ebrated Sir Henry, and the heroine Janette, 3
mile heats. Here Arab’s superiority was clear
ly evinced, for be beat them belli at three heats,
throwing away the first, and winning the first
and second and third heats. After that, he 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, atone heat
of four miles. He 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 of the timers, in
three minutes and forty-eight seconds ; per
haps the greatest gallop of two miles since the
days of Childress. After that, be was entered
in a four mile contest with that truly formida- |
Lie 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
miles or more, Arid) was going ahead as hard as
the boy could pull 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 overhauld her and stopped again, and
lost the heat, and finally the race, as he positive
ly refused starting the second heat and never
woiddrun 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 laces:
that Mr. James Summerville, of Warrenton, a
gentleman of undoubted veracity ami character
assured him that iu some four mile contest with
Johnßichards, Arab had crttiinly distancedhim.
Enough, however has been said to show his
superiority as a racer, lit fact his racing pow
ers have never been questioned nor indeed can
they be. As regards blood he cannot he sur
passed : nothing could be more pure at his foun
tain, and not one dropol impurity in any of the
tributary streams. As regards his size anti
beauty, we honesty believe his equal cannot
be found in anv living horse. We therefore in
vite the public to come and see, and judge for
themselves ; for an attempt at a correct descrip
tion of this unequalled hoisc would be less than
useless. He combines and till the strength and .
boklnes of the lion with the beauty and activity
ot the roebuck, and is unquestionably ,the best
qualified horse on earth to produce horses of all
uses ; an 1 as it is but just that we should render a
vahiaulile consideration in return for what we
receive we offer Arab’s services to the public on
more ret sonabh terms tl an those < I any other
I horse on the continent, ol bis grane

by Arab, who in five contests vanquished with !
ease all his competitors, among whom was cele- i
brated Robin Hood, at 3 heats with many others I
that could be mentioned. The above, however !
shows - that Arab’s colts have contended repea- !
•tedlv fcsnccessfully with the colts of most ofthe |
c<debated horses in America, at all distances, |
from 1 to 16 miles, sustaining the high charac- I
ter of their distinguished ancestor.
Now is the opportunity offered to the cni- !
zetis ot Georgia, for breeding from this noble ;
horse. Those wishing to improve their stock,
know their interest.
