I Dear Sir:— l am this morning in receipt of'
■ your favour of the 18th instant, requesting to j
i have some of the Bahn sent out to your State as
I soon as possible. Such is the pressing demand !
in every section, that I have, as yet, not been
J able to supply the orders that have been some '
i time on hand. I have had an order from Au
i 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, :
I lias contracted for that State and Georgia, and ;
' I have shipped to him near five thousand bot
ties, all that 1 could spare. As soon as I can, I 1
j will send him more; but when, 1 cannot say, as i
. 1 must divide it as well ns 1 can, until I can sup- 1
■ ply each State fully. 1 willdotnysclf the pleas- (
; uro of requesting Dr. Calhoun to establish an a- !
I gency at your office as soon as other engage j
: meats will allow. 1 have been putting up near |
| ly two thousand per day, and now find myself j
' in want of about fifty thousand for immediate
use, and have not fifteen buttles, but what are I
| packed up for shipment. From the present de
' manti, I should not be surprised, if it were to 1
take five hundred thousand bottles a year to sup
ply the demand.

Albemarle, April, 1836.
Dear Sir:— We suppose you like good news, !
particularly when yon are mostly interested.
We have but two bottles left of the box of Bahn
you sent us. You can draw at sight for $ ,
which we believe will be the amount, after de- |
ducting commission and expenses We wiii j
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 lias failed
i in two instances in this neighborhood, but one of 1
I the persons that we have seen, thinks it was :
; (witfi 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 wc arc 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 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 i
come,) but is a Virginia prep,nation, 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 Am-riea.’’ It seems to us, that
all you now have to do, is to see to it, that voti
keep a supply sufficient for the demand—for if
it sells elsewhere a> it has done here, there will
be no cod 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 remed y (ex- i
Ccpt drawing) for tooth-ache, that has yet been j
discovered.
Respectfully vours,

Dear Sir : I bought a bottle of your Balm

our reach ; an attempt was made to extract the
tooth, lull broke it off. I caused the Balm to
he used after wanning 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
j who, she said, had been suffering with the s ame
1 disease tor some weeks. 1 cheerfully gave it,
! and the next dayoti inquiry found that both were
relieved. One of my neighbors of high respec

THE IMPORTED HORSE.
TMIJFFIaIi'.
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
oi true blooded horses, this distinguished horse
is now a citizen of Georgia. The one half of
Truffle is owned by Ex-Governor Janies Bar
bour, of V irgihia, and the other half belongs to
Richard Rowell of Baldwin county Georgia.
He will stand t;ie ensuing season at the planta
tion BELFAST, eight miles above 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 toinsure a marc in foal. Should
any person put a mare the spring season, and
she does not prove iu 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 fitst day of July
next.
No accountability for accidents, though all the'
attention will be paid that can be, as TRUF
4LE 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 THOROI.GH-BKED HORSE. i
st nd the eusuing season at the house
of Maj. THOMAS G. SANDFORD, three !
miles North of EATONTON, aud will be let to !
mares at thirty-five dollars the season, which may
be discharged by the payment of thirty dollars if :
paid bcibrre the season expires; fifty dollars to i

or the property transferred; aud one dullartoihe ;
groom in every instance. Good and extensive i
pasturage will be provided for wares from a dis
tance, and they will he fed with grain if directed.
All possible care will be taken to prevent aeci
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 the history ofthe j
blood horse oi the south—a period of which |
the gay and sprightly offspring of Mark Galla- I
tin, Potomac, Whip, and Andrew, arc eliciting I
the admiration of a large portion ofthe conimu- !
nity, and commanding the attention of the j
sporting world. To the progeny of all these,
we can with confidence.recommend ARAB as
a most valuable crosr,, in support of which, we
have these very powerful reasons: his purity of
blood, bis tremendeous size, his exquisite and
incomparable beauty, all of which he combines
iu 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 will record a lew 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 IS) years old ; Coquette for
S 10: .’O, after she bad broke down; and fora
brood mare, Bersheba woiiid have commanded
any price her owner would have asked, but she
died alien going into her second training. She
was thought by her trainers to be the best
mare the world ever produced. For
$2,5u0 were refused, TanffitSs believed sold
for 33000,; for Eliza Kirby, 2,500 has been re
used ; $2,250 was refused for Gen. Brooke the
last son of Bet Bounce, and Arab himself sold
for SSOOO, and cannot be bought at this
time not less than dotiblo that sum. These
plain, simple, and unvarnished facts, which
need no comment, are metioned for no other
purpose than to shew the great value of Arab's
Stock. Jn confirmation of what has been
said, we will give an extract from n certificate
of Col. W in. R. 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 half of Bet Bou nee
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 Ladv
Hamilton, by Sir Arthur (tho dam of Arab)
her first colt, that was sold for 1,500 dollars of
Coquette, by Sir Archie, that I sold for l,oi>o
after breaking down. She was the dam of
Jeannette, by Archie, that I gave fifteen hun
dred dollars for, and refused 2,500; also By
mm’ bv Virginian,, which at two years old, sold
lor $1,50t) ; ofSilvertail, (a filly) by Archi
tliat commanded at one year old S,IOOO ; of a
two year old Archie Filly that would bring
SIOO >: and of a sticking filly at her sido, by
Medley, for which has been offered.
Bet Bounce was also the dam of Bersheba by
: \rchie that die 1 at three years old, and was the
i favorite of the family’. She never appeared in
I public but once, when she contended with the
Ison of old Bet, that I give AIOOO for at 11
months old. Sally Mel'vi'le, by Virginian, her
j daughter, I sold for $1,600 before she was a ;
I year oi l. Bet Bounce is also the dam of a
L two year old Archie filly of such promise as to I
’ Induce Mr. Mingo, her owner tb 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 he had offered when he was
three weeks old. Her 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. 1 have preferred stating,
to giving or procuring certificates.
(Signed; WILLIAM R. JOHNSON.
Making the sum of near $20,000 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 more
substantial facts could not be urged in proof of
the exalted station occupied by’ Arab and fits
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 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 race horsos of the very first order, for which
purpose it is only necessary to mention a few of
his first colts, that were three years old 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 au Eclipse)

the third heat by the Filly, in 1 minute 55 sec
onds. Since which his colts have been running
with unparalled success iu various parts of the
United States, and particularly in Virginia, as
will he seen by the following extract of a letter
from Mr. Thomas Goode Tucker, a gentleman ■
of high standing and eharacter, 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 pulled down it. Virginia where the value)
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.” I
PEDIGREE.
ARAB is a beautiful dark bay, over 19 '
hands high, honest measure, of fine carriage j
and action, and commanding presence ; was ■
sired by the well known aud celebrated stallion j
Old Sir Archy, of whom nothing need be said ; |
his dam old Bet Bounce by the imported horse i
Sir Henry, his grandam by Hart's imported !
horse Sir Henry, his grahdam by Hart’s im- I
ported Medley, great-grandam by old Mark
Anthony, g. g. grandam by imported Jolly Ro
ger, out ofthe imported mare Jemmy Canime
ron.
(Signed) JAMES J. H YRRSION.
The same gentleman, after stating in tiie 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, be beat Defiance, a full
brother to VV ashington, (by Timoleon) two mile ! 1
heats, at three heats. This race was won by
Fhrtilla, owing to circumstances. Twenty j'
days afterwards, he beat Flirtiila, at Halifax, i
N. C. two mile heats for the great stake—three 1 1
days afterwards, he was entered against the cel- i
ebrated Sir Henry, and the heroine Janstte, 3 : ;
mile heats. Here Arab’s superiority was clear- !'
ly evinced, for be beat them both at three heats, I
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, lie was entered '
in a four mile contest with that truly fbrmida- 1
ble race mare J anette, that won 14 out of 16 I'
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
the boy could [lull him from 60 to 80 yards, and
suddenly, for tiie first time in his life, he stopp
ed till she had passed him 150 yards. He i
then started again, and in the three quarters of
a mile ovcrhauld 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.”-
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. Janies Summerville, of Warrenton, a
gentleman of undoubted veracity and character
assured him that in some four mile contest with
Johnßichards, Arab had crtainlv distancedhim.
Enough, however has been said to show his
superiority as a racer. In factvhis racing pow
ers have never been questioned nor indeed can
they bo. As regards blood ho cannot be sur
passed : nothing could bo more pure at his foun
tain, and not one drop ofimptn ity in any of the
tributary streams. As regards his size and
beauty, we honesty believe his equal cannot
he found in any living horse. We therefore in
vite the pii’f'ic to come and sec, and judge for
thenisejvos; for an attempt at a correct descrip
tion of this unequalled horse would be less than
useless. He combines and all tho strength and
boldnes of the lion with the beautv and activifr
of tho roebuck, and is unquestionably ,the best
qualified horse on earth to produce horses of ah
uses ; and as it is hut just that we should render a
valnanble consideration in return for what we
' receive wc offer Arab’s services to the public on
| more reasonable terms than those of any other
! horse on the continent, of his grade
‘ A short list of winning colts is sulrjoiued to
gratify those of our friendswho have not an op
* portunity of referring at all times to the Turf
’ Rogi»ter ; and in almost every instance where
t hi*colts were not winners, they were the con
tending nags :
November 1832.—At Norfolk, for silver cup
and urn, mile heats, best three in five ; won by
Arabia Felix, by Arab at four heats, bcatiiig
an Eclipse and three others.
Same fall, at Jerusalem, she won the 2 mile
heats in three minute* 52 second, and 3 minuites
55 scends.
Same fall at New Hope, bay mare (Bry
ants) Arab woa the one mile beats, beating two
others.
Same fall, at Jackson N. C. she won the one
mite heats, beating the Eliza Walker, by
Eclipse.
Same fall, at Oglethorpe, Tube Rose, by
Arab won the mile floats, beating two others.
Fall of 1833. she won the 4 mile heats at
Timonium, Md ; for the Jockey Club purse,
$ 1000, at 4 heats, beating Orange Boy,by Sir
Archey ; Florida by Contention, aud Batche
lor, by Tuck hoe.
Spring 1831, at Belfield, she won the 3 mile
heats for the Jockey Club purse, S4OO, at 4
heats, beating a Contention, and others.
Spring 1834 Row Galley, by Arab won tiie
Proprietor’s purse, 2 mile heats, beating with
ease Mr. White’s Rapid, by Ratler, Eliza
Walker, by Eclipse, and Lady Alayo, by Sir
William.
| Spring 1833, at Paris Tennessee colt race
mile heats, won by Col. Harris’ State Right*,
i being a Napoleon, and others.
Same spring, at Bellefdtte, Handy Cap. best
Bin 5, won by Division, by Arab, beating a Sir
Charles and a Monsieur Totismi, at 5 heats.
Tall of 1833, at New Mai ket, sweepstakes,
for three year olds, won by Rosetta Ketidall,
beating two Medleys. And who iu the South
and West has uot heard of Bass’ Filly 1 the fax
famed Rebecca Smith, now Betsey Rushlous; j
who is still beating all competitors, and win- ;
ning frosh laurels iu Miss, whore she was taken I
ahd sold for $1,500. before slie was three years j
old ? A.».d of the unparalled success of Tartar '
by Arab, who in five contests vanquished with j
caste all his competitors, among whom was cells- j
bra ted Robin Hood, at 3 heats with many other-;!
that could be mentioned. The above, however ;
shows that Arab’s colts have contended repea- j
tedly sX successfully with the colts of most ofthe j
ci debated horses in America, at ail distances, j
from 1 to 16 miles, sustaining the high charac- ;
ter of their distinguished ancestor. j
Now is the opportunity offered to the citi-;
zens of Georgia, i'pr breeding from this noble'
horse. Those wishing to improve their stock, j
know their interest.
