CHANGE OF DIRECTION.
We desire such of our subscribers as may at

means of ascertaining the office from which they

TOOTH-ACHE:
Petersburg, U«. 2 June, 1836.
11. 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 [tressing demand
in every section, that I have, as yet, not been
able to supply the orders that have been some
time on hand. 1 have had an order from /Au
gusta, G eorgia, and Savannah, since last win- j
ter, and only last week sent one groce to each
[dace. Dr. E. R. Calhoun, of South Carolina,
lias contracted for that State and Georgia, and
1 have shipped to him near live thousand bot
ties, all that I could spare. As soon as I 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
ply each State fully. 1 will domyself 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
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 five hundred thousand bottles a year to sup
ply the demand.
Yours respectfully, &c.

ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES.
Albemarle, April, 18-36.
Dear Sir:—We suppose you like good news,
particularly when you are mostly interested.
We have but two bottles left of the box of Balm
you sent us. You can draw at sight for $ ,
which we believe will be the amount, after de
ducting commission and expenses We will
thank you to send to our friends, Messrs. * * *, j
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 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
of the sufferers, as well as on your account,
that this remedy is not only not of Northern or
igin, (from whence all the patent nostrums
come,) but is a Virginia preparation, and by a
Virginian. Nor does it detract from its efficacy,
on account of the place of its preparation, (Pe
tersburg,) once styled by Mr. Jefferson, the
“cockade of America.” It seems 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 has done here, there will
be 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 the discovery and use of the only remedy (ex
cept drawing) for tooth-ache, that lias yet been
discovered.
Respectfully vours,
R. R. & T. T. G.
Huntington, i
near Cabin Point, 24th March. (
Dear Sir: 1 bought a bottle of your Balm
from Messrs. , in Petersburg, in Februa-
ry, chiefly because 1 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
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 t equested some for her husband
who, she said, had been suffering with the same
disease for some weeks. I cheerfully gave it,
and the next da von inquiry found ih.it both were
relieved. One of my neighbors of high respec
tability sent to me for some for his wife. I
have this day seen him, and he assures me that
it afforded immediate relief, and there has been
noreturn ; before she suffered almost constant
ly,and could not bear to l< t cold water touch
the tooth, and for two nights previous to theap
plication,she had not been able to sleep scarce
ly at all. Now she has no inconvenience from
cold water or any tiling else that comes in con
tact with the tooth. The night before last he
used some with one of his own men, with the
same success, ami says if lie could have have had
this remedy fifteen years ago, ami known its ef
ficacy, he would williiiglv have given a hundred
dollars for it. I have written in haste giving a
plain statement of facts.
Yours respectfully.

TRUFFLE is a rich Mahogany Bay, and
as to symmetrical, grand, and majestic, appear
ance 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 ol 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 BELFAST, eight miles tibove Milledge
ville, ca the Eatonton Road, and he will be let
to mares on the following terms: Fifty Dollars,
the season, and a dollar ta the Groom., and cne
hundred dollars tcinsure a mare in foal. Should
any person put a mare the spting 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 bo expec
ted on or before the expiration of the season,
which will commence on the fit st day of July
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 rem tin with Truffle, will be
fed with grain at ten dollars per mont.b. Good
pasturage gratis.

All possible ci.re will be taken to prevent acci
eats, but no liibility 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 ofthe
blood horse of 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 ail 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 tremendeous size, his exquisite and
incomparable beauty, ail of which he combines
in a higher degree than any other horse now on
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 wdl 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-
909, after she was 19 years old ; Coquette for
01OtlO, after she had broke down ; and for a
brood mare, Bersheba would have commanded
any price her owner would have -.sked, but she
died when going into her sccon 1 training. She
was thought by her trainers to be the best
mare the world ever produced. For Janette,
82,5x0 were refused, Tat iff it is believed sold
for 83000,; for Eliza Kirby, 2,500 has been re
used ; 82,250 was refused for Gen. Brooke the
last son oi’ Bet Bounce, and Ar iti himself sold
for 85000, and cannot be bought at this
time not less than double that sum. These
plain, simple, and unvarnished facfs, 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. \\ m. It. Johnson whose opinions in Vir
ginia, and every where else, are acknowledged
to be unquestionable :
“Bet Bounce and her stock are among our
first favorites and I give the following facts for
thinking so : I sold the one hall of Bet Bounce
at 19 years old. to Dr. Mingo, for one thou
sand dollars ; she was the dam of Arab, whoso
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 l,0t)0
after breaking down. She was the dam of
Jeannette, by Archie, that I gave fifteen hun
dred dollars for, and refused 2,5 s 0 ; also Bv
rom’ by Virginian,, which at two years old, sold
for 81,500; of Silvertail, (a filly) b / Archi
that commanded at one year old :■ , Hit>o ; of a
two year old Archie Filly that would bring
8100 O: ahd of a sucking filly at her side, by
Medley, for which S6OO has been offered.
Bet Bounce was also the dam of Bersheba by
Archie that died at three years old, and was the
; favorite ofthe family. She irnvcj appeared io
’ public but once, when she contended with the
Ison of old Bet, that I gave SIOO3 for at 1!
I months old. Sally Mel’vi le, by Virginian, he:
j daughter, I sold for $1,6t)0 before she was
I vear old. Bet Bounce is also the dam of
I two year old \rchic filly of such promise as t<
J induce Mr. Mingo, her owner to enter into a
sweepstake at New-York, to be run for
next spring, there are 17 subscribers at 500
dollars each : and of a yearling-colt by Archie,
that told me lie had offered SSOO when he was
three we :ks 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 s2Q*ooo 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 or mote
substantial facts could not be urged in proof of
the exalted station occupied by Arab and Lis
stock i:t V irginia,'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 tnepublic to the Amer
ican Turf Register, where it will be seen that
he has produced as many winners at; almost a
ny other horse now living. Our limits will not
permit us to go into lengthy details, but will give
below the performance ofa sufficient number of
his colts to establish the fact, that be is the sire
of race horsos ofthe very first order, for which
purpose it is only necessary to mention a few of
his first colts, that were three years eld 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 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, j
which he ran will, great ease. He run at New,
Holland with 190 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 Lawrencpville, beating
a Sir Charles ; one at Salisbury, beating a Di
on, at 4 beats ; one at New Market, beating
four 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 running
with unparalled success in various parts of the
United States, and particularly in Virginia, as
will he seen by the following extract of adetter
from Air. Thomas Goode ’Flicker, 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 bands, 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 ptrilcd down it. Virginia where the value
of his stock has lately increased at least fifty
per cent. If ever there was a horse that lias
stormed the prejudices of a people, and tri
umphed by dint of Superiority over the vile
and in: iduous attack of interested jockeys, 1
’tis ARAB.”
PEDIGREE.
ARAB is a beautiful dark bay, over 19
hands high, honest measure, of fins carriage 1
and action, and commanding presence ; was
sired by the well known and celebrated stallion
Old Sir Arciiy, 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 Camme
ron.
fSigned) JAMES J. HARRSION.
The same gentleman, after staling 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 Washington, (by Timoleon) two mile 1
heats, at three beats. This race was won by
Fhrtilla, owing to circumstances. Twenty
days afterwards, he heat Flirtilia, at Halifax,
N. C. two mile heats for the great stake—-three
days afterwards, he was entered against the cel
ebrated Sir Henry, ami 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 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 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 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
miles or more, Arab was going ahead as hard as
■he boy couil 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, an I 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
wouldrun kindly afterwards.”
liis owner thinks, in making out his certifi
cate, that by some oversight, Capt. Harrison
omitted to mention one of Arab’s bestiaces:
that .Mr. James Summerville, of Warrenton, a
gentleman, of undoubted veracity and character
assured him that in some four mile contest with
loiml’ichards, Arab had crlainly distance.lhim.
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
tlu:y 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 ofthe
tributary streams. As regards his size and
beauty, we honesty believe his equal cannot
be found in an V living 1 torse. 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 horse would be less than
tseless. He combines and all the strength and
'toldnes ofthe lion with the beauty and activity
>f the roebuck, and is unquestionably ,the best
pialiued horse on earth to produce horses of ail
isos ; and as it is but pist that we should render a
valuanble consideration in return for what we
receive we offer Arab’s services to the public on
norereasonable terms than those ol' any other
I h >rse on the continent, of his grade
A short list of winning colls is subjoined to
gratify those of our friends who have not an op- I
portunity of referring at all times to the Turf
Registei ; and in almost eve :-j' instance where]
his colts were not winners, they were the con- i
tending nags :
November 1832.-—At Norfolk, for silver cup j
and urn, mile heats, be: ‘ three in five ; won ’.y
Arabia Felix, by Arab at four heats, beatirg [
an Eclipse and three others.
Same fall, at Jerusalem, she won the 2 mile ,
heats in three minutes 52 second,and 3 n-.inuites i
55 scolds.
Same fall at New Hope, bay mare (Bry
ants) Arab won the one mile heats, beating two
others.
Same fall, at Jackson N. C. she won the one
mile heats, beating the Eliza. Walker, by
Eclipse.
Same fall, at Oglethorpe, Tube Rose, by '
Arab won the mile heats, beating two other.:.
Fall of 1833. she won the 4 mile heats at:
Timonium, Md ; for the Jockey Chib purse, ’
$ 1000, at 4 heats, beating Orange Boy, by Sir 1
Archey ; Florida by Contention, and Batche
lor, by Tuck hoe.
Spring 1831, at Belfield, she won the 3 mile
beats for the Jockey Chib purse, S4OO, at 4
heats, beating a Contention, and others.
Spiing 1834 Rew Galley, by Arab wen the
Proprietor’s purse, 2 mile heats, beating with
ease Mr. White’s Rapid, by Ratler, Eliza
Walker, by Eclipse, and Lady Mayo, by Sir
William.
Spring 1833, at Paris Tennessee colt race
mile heats, won by Col. Harris’ State Rights,
being a Napoleon, and others.
Same spring, at Belleforte, Handy Cap. best
Sin 5, woa by Division, bv Arab, beating a Sir
Charles and a Monsieur Tonson, at 5 heats.
Fall 0i’1833, at New Market, sweepstakes,
for three year elds, Won by Rosetta Kendall,
beating two Medleys. And who in the South
and West has not heard of Bass’ Filly? ths far
famed Rebecca S-miih, now Betsey Rushlor.s ;
who is still beating all competitors, and win
ning fresh laurels in Miss, where she was taken
and sold for $1,500. before she was three years
old ? Axd ofthe unparalled success of Tartar
by Arab, who in five contests vanquished with
ease all his competitors, among whom wascele- 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- j
tedly & successfully with the colts of most ofthe
ci lebated horses in America, at all distances, j
from 1 to 16 miles, sustaining the high charac- :
ter of their distinguished ancestor.
Now is the opportunity offered to the etti- !
z,ens of Georgia, for breeding from this noble
horse. Those wishing to improve their stock,
know their interest.

Bules in relation to claims
provided for by an act of Congress
passed 18th January 1837, entitled “An act
to provide for the payment of burses and other
ptoperty lost or destroyed in th:; military ser
vice of the United States prescribed in pjrsu- i
ance of the 4th section of the said act.
All claims under the provisions of this act
must be presented at the office of the Third '
Auditor ofthe Treasury Department before the '
end of the next session of Congress, and each
must be substantiated by such evidence as is 1
Hereinafter deriguated, with respect to cases of
this class under which it fails.
T'irst Class of cases.
By the first section ofthe law it is enacted :
“That any field, or, staffer other officer,
mounted militia man, volunteer, ranger or cav
alry, engaged in the military service of the U
nited States, since the 18ih of June 1812, or
who shall hereafter be in said service,
sustained or shall sustain damage, without any
fault or negligence nn his part while in said set- ;
vice, and has sustained or shall sustain damage I
without any fault or negligence on his part
while in said service, by the loss of a horse in ■
battle, or by the loss of a horse wounded in bat- j
tie, and which has died, or shall die of said |
wound, or being so wounded, shall be abandon- !
ed by order of his officer, and lost or shall sus- |
tain damage by the loss of any horse by death, j
or abandonment, in consequence of the United
States failing to supply sufficient forage, or 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 States fade 1 or shall fail, to supply suf
ficient forage, and the loss was or shall be con
sequent thereof, or for the loss of necessary e
quipage in consequence ofthe loss of his horse,
as aforesaid, shad be allowed and paid the val
ue thereof: Provided, That if any paymtn:
has been or shall be made to any one aforesaid,
for the use and risk, orfor forage after the death,
loss or abandonment of his horse, styd pay mem
shall be deducted from the value thereof, un
less he satisfied or shall satisfy, the paymaster
at the lime he made or shall make the payment
or thereafter show by proof, that he was re
mounted, in which case the deduction shall on
ly extend to the time he was on foot: rind,
provided also,tiny payment shall have been,
or shall hereafter be, made to any person a
boviy mentioned, on account of clothing, to
which he was not entitled by law, such payment
shall be deducted from the value of his horse
and accoutrements.
To establish a cltfim 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 surviving officer ; describing the
property, the value thereof, the time and man
ner in which the loss happened, and whether or
not it was sustained without any fault or negli
gence on claimant’s part. The evidence
should also, in case the claimant was remounted
after the loss, state when he was remounted,
how long he continued so, and explain wherher
the horse whereon lie 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 iu the possession
ofthe claimant may have been made; and if
it had been thus owned, should mime ti e per
son, and the command to which he belonged.
And in every instance in which the claim may
extend to equipage, the several articles ol which
the same consisted, and the separate value of
each, should be specified.
Second Class of Cases.
The seco; d section of the law enacts:
“That anv person who, in t.ie iiitary
service, or draughted militiaman, .urn’slietl or
shall furnish himself with arms ai.c rniiitary ac
I’.otifrements, and sustained or snali sustain
damage bv the caplure or destruction of the

fault or negligence ou tiiep r: of the United
States, to f.nnish ‘.i:« came with sufficient for
age, shall bo allowed and paid the value there
on.
To establish a claim under this provission, it
will be necessary to produce the .e.-.timony »f
the officer or agent of . the United States who
impressed or contt ..c‘e:l for l’.:e servioe ofilio
the psopeity mentioned hi such claim, and also
ofthe officer ttnclor t r-ese im veilkle command
the same '.vas employ a.d at the time si capture,
destruction loss, or aliat'.dciiriieiit ; declaring
in what way the propety was taken into the ser
vice of the United Ulates, the value thereof,
whether or not the risk to which it would be ex
posed was agreed to be incurred by the owner,
whether or not as regarded horses, mules, or ox
en, he engaged to supply the same with suf
ficient forage in vvl:.it manner the loss happen
ed, and whether or not it was sustained without
any fault or negligenceoa bis part.
The sixth section ofthe law enacts :
“That in ail instances where any miner has
been, or shall be engaged in the military ser
vice of the United States, and was, or shall be
provided with a horse 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 iu other cases,
and the further proof that lie is entitled thereto,
by havihg furnished the same."
A parent or guardian cf a deceased minor
will, therefore in addition to such testimony ap
plicable to his claim as is previously described
have to furnish proof‘hat he provided the mi
nor with the property therein mentioned ; that
the minor -died without paying for such proper
ty : and that he, the parent or guardian, is en
tiued to payment for it, Ly his having furnished
the jtame.
The seventh section of the law enacts :
“That i.i all Instances where any persons
other than a minor, has been or shall be en
gaged in the military service afpresaid, and has
been or shall be provided with a horse or e
qiiwSnents, or with military accoutrements, by
any person, the owner thereof, who has risked,
or shall take the 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 maznen
before mentioned, such owner shall be allowed
pay therefor, on making satisfactory proof, as
in other cases, and the further proof that he is
entitled thereto, by having furnished the same,
and having takan the risk on himself."
Besides tiie testimony in support of Lis claim
herein before required, every such ownci, there
fore, will have to prove that lie did provide lli»
horse, equipments, or military accoutrements
therein mentioned, and took the rKk thereon on
himself'; ane, that he is entitled to pa/tnereoi,
bv having furnished the same, and taken the
risk thereof, on himself; .'nd this proof should
be contained in a deposition of the person who
had ceeo so "provided by l.in:, v. 1 sui li hcisu
exnipmants or military accoutrements.
In no case the production of the ev donee,
previously described, be dispensed with, unless
the impracticability ofprodming it be clearly
proved, and the nearest and best otiier evidence,
oi which the cace may be susceptible, must ba
furnished in lieu thereof’.
Every claim must be accompanied by a de
position of the claimant, declaring that he had
not received from any officer or agent of the
United States, imp horse or horses, equipage,
arms, accoutrements, mule, wagon, cart, boat,
sleigh, or harness as [the case may be,) in lieu
of’ the property he lost, nor any < ompensatieu
for the same, and be supported, if practicable,
by die original valuation list, ir.ade lit -'.le ap
praisers of tiie proderty, at the time lite same
was taken into the United States service.
All evidence, other than ibe certificates of
officers, who at the time of giving them, were
in the military service of the United States,
must be eworn to before some judge, justice of
the peace, or other person duly authorized to
administer oatlis, and of which aulhorify, proct
