CHANGE OF DIRECTION.
We desire such of our subscribers as may at
kn* time wish the direction of their papers chan
ged from one Post Office to another, to inform
ns, in alt cases, of the place to which they had
bnnn previously sent; as the mere order to for
ward them to a different office, places it almost
•ntnf our power, to comply, because we have no
moans of ascertaining the office from which they
■re ordered to be changed, but a search through
•er whole subscription Book, containing sovera
thousand names.
POSTAGE.
It is a standing rule with this office, as wel
M all others, that the postage of all letters and
aousmunications to toe Editor or Proprietor
must b. paid. We repeat it again,—and re
quest all persons having occasion to address us
upon business connected in any way with the
establishment, to bear it in mind. Persons
wishing to become subscribers to the Standard

THOSE afflicted with inflamed or sore eyes
should be aware of the great excellencies
! of Dr. Adam's Eye Water, in the treatment of this,
1 troublesome affliction. It has been before the
public but a short time, yet it has •dready been
fairly tested in comparison with nil the common
remedies, and with what success may be inferred
from the extensive demand now existing for it,
and from the numerous testimonials of its value
now in the bauds of the proprietor, one or two
of which it was deemed proper to subjoin.
Sir : It is with pleasure I state to you. that my
wife who was troubled with sore eyes, was com
pletely cured by using one bottle of Dr. Adams’

Water over all the others that 1 have tried. Ha

Dr, Adams' by far the best, as it is free from that

H. D. M’lntosh, Esq., Henry County, Ga,
Dear Sir;— l am this morning in receipt of
your favour of the 18th instant, requesting to I
have some of the Balm sent out to your State as
soon as possible. Such is the pressing demand
iu 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, Georgia, and Savannah, since last win
ter, and only last week sent one groce to each
place. Dr. E. R. Calhoun, of South Carolina,
has contracted for that State and Georgia, and
1 have shipped to him near five thousand bet
ties, all that 1 could spare. As soon as I can, 1
will send him more; but when, 1 cannot say, as
I must divide it as well as I can, until I can sup
ply each State fully. 1 willdomyself the pleas
ure of requesting Dr. Calhoun to establish an a
gency at your office as soon as other engage
meats will allow. I have been putting up near
ly two thousand per day, and now find myself
in want of about fifty thousand for immediate.

packed up for shipment. From the present de
mand, I should not be surprised, if it were to ’

ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES.
Albemarle, April, 1836.
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
(with 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 1
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 a» 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,
■it the discovery and use ol the only remedy (ex
cept drawing) for tooth-ache, that has yet been
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 bad
suffered most excrutiatingly for some months.
We had tried all the remedies which were in
i our reach ; an attempt was made to extract the
, tooth, but broke it off I caused the Balm to
i be used after warming it in a cup—this wa.j rc
i peated with a second spoonful, when she vas
j entirely relieved. The next night she camo 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 same
! disease for some weeks. J cheerfully gave it,
’ and the next dayoninquiry found that’both were
relieved. Oncol my neighbors ot high respec
tability sent to me for some for his wife. I
have this day seen him, and lie assures me that
it afforded immediate relief, and tlxirc 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 precious 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 tbtit comes in con
tact with the tooth. The night before last ho
used some with one of his own men, with the
same success, and says if hr: could have have had
this remedy fifteen years ago, and known its ef
ficacy, be wouid willingly have given a hundred
dollars Cor it. 1 have written in haste giving a
plain statement offactr..

THE IMP< RTED HORSE.
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 of Georgia. The one half of
Truffle is owned by Ex-Governor James Bar
bour, of Virginia, 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 above Milledge
ville, on the Eatonton Road, and lie will he let
to mares on tho 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 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 be expec
ted on or before the expiration of tho 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
FLE will be under my immediate control.
Any mare sent to remain with Truffle, will be
fed with grain at ten dollars per mout.h. Good
pasturage gratis.

ABAB.
WILL stand the ensuing season at the house
of Maj. THOMAS G. 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 expires; fifty dollars to

or the property transferred; and one dollartothe

pasturage will be provided for mares from a dis

AU possible care will he 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 Stallion to the public at this interest
ing and favorable period in '.he history of the
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 all these,
we can with confidence recommend /XRAB as
a most valuable cross, in support of which, we
have these very powerful reasons: iiis purity of
blood, his tremendeous size, his exquisite and
incomparable beauty, all 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 will 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-
900, after she was 19 years old ; Coquette for
SIOOO, after she had broke down ; and for a
brood mare, Bersheba would have commanded
any price her owner would have asked, but she
died when going into her sec.mi training. She
was thought by her trainers to be the best
mare the worklever produced. For Janette,
,$2,5u0 were refused, Tarifl’it is believed sold
fors3ooo,; for Eliza Kirby, 2,500 has been re
used ; $2,250 was refused for Gen. Brooke the
last son oi Bet Bounce, and Arab himself sold
for SSOOO, 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
pttrpose than to shew the great value of Arab’s
Stock, hi 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 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 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 1,590 dollars of
Coquette, by Sir Archie, that I sold for 1,0. H)
after breaking down. She was the dam of
Jeannette, by Archie, that I gave fifteen Imn
dred dollars for, and refused 2,500; also By
rom’ by Virginian,, which at two years old, sold
for $1,500; ofSilverlail, (a filly) by Archi
that commanded at one year old s,l'K>o ; of a
two year old Archie Filly that would bring
$100i): and of a sticking filly at her side, hv
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 of the family. She never appeared in
public hut once, when she contended with the
son of obi Bet, that I gave SIOOO for at 11
months old. Sally Mel'viilo, by Virginian, her
daughter, I sold forsl,6t)o before she was a
year old. Bet Bounce is also the dam of a
two year Old Archie filly of such promise as to
induce Mr. Mirt'jo, hor owner tu onfijr into :t
sweepstake at New-York, to be run for
next spring, there are 17 subscribers at 500
dollars each : and ofa yearling - colt by Archie,
that told me he had offered $5 -0 when he was
three weeks old. Her stock are generally large
handsome and admired, and almost the whole
ol them alhtde'd 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 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 uow be
entertained that his colts stand in the very first
rank ol distinguished racers at tlie present day,
to prove which we refer the public to the Amer
ican Turf Register, where it will be soeu that
he has produced as mnny winners as almosiabr
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 he 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 winch 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, agaiost Max
well’s Filly, by Eclipse a single two miles,
which be ran wttl. great ease. He run at New
Holland with 100 pounds, against all ages, win
ning at two heats easily. At Lancaster he wou
a match a single mile. He iost 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 allure
year old, with a catch upon eacfi, 2d heat won
by six inches. Ono at Lawrenceville, beating
a Str Charles ; one at Salisbury, beating a Di- i
on, at 4 heats ; 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 tiiree heats first heat won by Stan
dard, 1 minute 49 seconds—second heat won I
by tire 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 uuparalled success in various parts of the
United States, and particularly, in Virginia, as
will be seen by tlie t’ollowing extract of a letter
from Mr. Thomas Goode Tucker, a gentleman
of high standing and character, of Brunswick
county, V irginia. Speaking of Arab he says,
“Some of iiis get at this lime, 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 has lately increased at least fifty
per cent. 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.”

AR/VB is a beautiful dark bay, over 19 :
hands high, honest measure, of fine 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 grandain by Hart’s imported
horse Sit Henry, his grandam by Hart’s im
ported Medley, great-grandam by obi Mark
Anthony, g. g. grandam by imported Jolly Ro
ger, out of the imported mare Jemmy Camme
ron.
(Signed) JAMES J. IIARRSION.
The same gentleman, after sta ting 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, be beat Defiance, a full
brother to Washington, (by Timoleon) two mile
heats, at three heats. This race was won by
Flirtilla, owing to circumstances. Twenty
days afterwards, he beat Flirtilia, at Halifax,
N. C. two mile heals for the great staki—three ;
day.s afterwards, he was entered against the cel-!
ebrated Sir Henry, and the heroine Janette, 3
mile heats. Here Arab’s superiority was dear
ly evinced, fm - be beat them both at three heats,
throwing away the first, and winning the fust
and second and third heals. After that, lie met
Defiance, and settled a four mile contest at one
heat. Aud in like manner fulfilled an engage
ment with a full sister to Carolinian, at one-heat
ot 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 rrm, 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, 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
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
wouldnm 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 dislancedbim.
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
they be. As regards blood be cannot be sur
passed : nothing could be more pure at his foun
tain, and not one drop ofimpnrity in any of the
tributary streams. As regards his size and
beauty, we honesty believe his equal cannot
be found in any living horse. We therefore in
vite tho public, to come and sec, and judge for
themselves; for an attempt at a correct descrip
tion of this unequalled hotse would be less than
useless. He combines and all the strength and
boldnns of the lion with the beauty and activity
of the roebuck, and is unquestionably ,the best
qualified horse on earth to produce horses of all
uses ; and as it is butjust that we should render a
valnanblo consideration in return for what wo
receive we offer Arab’s services to the public on
morereasonable terms than those of any other
horse on the continent, of his grade
A short list of winning is subjoined to
gratify those of our friends who have not au op
portunity of referring at all times to the Turl
Registei ; and in almost every instance where
his colts were not winners, they were the con
tending nags:
November 1832.-—At Norfolk, for silver cup
ami urn, mile heats, best three in five ; won by
Araoiu telix, by Arab at ioUr beats, beating
