CHANGE OF DIRECTION.
We desire such of our subscribers as may at !
any time wish the direction of their papers chan
ged from one Post Odice to another, to inform
us, in all casts, of the place to which they had
been previously sent; as the mere order to for
traid them to a different office, places it almost
•ntof our power, to comply, because we have no
means of ascertaining the office from which they
are ordered to be changed, but a search through
our whcle subscription Book, containing severe
thousand names.
POSTAGE.
It is a standing rule with this office, as wcl
as all others, that the postage of all letters and
communications to too Editor or Proprietor
must be 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 '.he Standard

Persons, at a distance, who are desirous
of giving their advertisements an extensive

THE STANDARD OF UNION presents the
means of spreading them before a larger

lhar 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 pressing demand
I in every section, that 1 have, as yet, not been I
| able to supply the orders that have been some
lime on hand. 1 have had an order from Au
gusta, Georgia, and Savannah, since lust 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
I have shipped to him near live thousand bot
ties, all that 1 could spare. As soon as I can, I
will send him more; but when, 1 cannot say, as
1 must divide it as well as I can, until I can sup- ■
ply each State fully. 1 will domy self the pleas- j
ure of requesting Dr. Calhoun to establish an a- |
gency at your office as soon as other engage j
ments will allow. 1 have been putting up near j
ly two thousand per day, and now find myself |
in want ot about fifty thousand for immediate I
■ use, and have not fifteen bottles, but what are j
j packed up for shipment. From the present de- '
j mand, I should not be surprised, if it were to I
take five hundred thousand bottles a year to sup-1
ply the demand.
Yours respectfully, &c.

ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES.'
Albemarle, April, 1836.
Dear Sir:—We suppose you like good news,
particularly when yuu are mostly interested. 1
We have but two bottles leftf>f the box of Balm 1
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. * * *,
of Richmond, by first conveyance, a double box,
i 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
glrawn, and the pain still continued.
Several persons have used it, with defective
'itns, orscurv V, and are so much delighted with
•J, that we are charged to keep a supply. The
] a( iies are using lit with the tooth-brush, and say
t | l; ’ t it is the best thing for the teeth and gums
tbe J’ have ever used. We are glad, for the sake
o ft ,v >e sufferers, as well as on your account,
that'’ this remedy is not only not of Northern or
(from whence all the patent nostrums
comF,) hut 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 I
keep tt supply sufficient for the demand —for if i
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,
ar the discovert’ and use of the only remedy (ex
cept drawing) for tooth-ache, that has yet beef I
discovered.
Respectfully vours,
R. R. & T. T. G.

Dear Sir: 1 bought a bottle of your Balm j
j from Messrs. , in Petersburg, in Februa- I
| ry, chiefly because I had a servant who had I
suflered most excrutiatingly for some months.
;We had tried all the remedies which were in
our reach ; an attempt was made to extract the
I tooth, but broke it off. 1 caused the Balm to
be used after warming it in a cup—this was re-
I 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
I ached, and also requested some for Iter husband
' who, she said, had been suffering with the same
i disease for some weeks. 1 cheerfully gave it,
| and the next day on inquiry found that both were
relieved. One of my neighbors of high respec
tability sent to me for some for his wife. I
have this daj’ seen him, and he assures me that ■
it afforded immediate relief, and there lias been
j noreturn ; before she suffered almost constant-
I ly,and could not bear to let cold water touch I
| the tooth, and for two nights previous to the ap
i plication,she had not been able to sleep scarce-
Ily at all. Now she has no inconvenience from
I cold water or any thing else that conies in con
tact with the tooth. The night before last he
I used some with one of his own men, witli the
same success, and says if he could have have had
this remedy fifteen years ago, and known its ef
ficacy, he would willingly have given a hundred
dollars for it. I have written in haste giving a
plain statement offsets.
Yours respectfully,
WMF. R. RUFFIN.

This celebrated Racer, will make his first
seasonal the Hampton Course, near Augusta,
Ga., under the direction of Mr. Freeman W.
Lacy, and be let to Marcs, the ensuing season,
at one Hundred Dollars the season, payable
26th Dec. next, with one dollar to the Groom ;
the season to commence the 15th February, and
end the 15th July next. It is requested that
persons sending marcs, will send a note for the
season and a pedigree of the mare.
John Bascombc never having covered, his
powers as a foal-getter tire, of course, unknown,
known; such marcs therefore, as do not prove
in foal, shall have the benefit of another season,
j free of charge. Messrs. Glascock and Lacy
arc extensively provided with Lots and Slttbles,
for marcs that may be sent to remain with the
horse, atm w ill be fed at fifty cents per day.
Black servants, sent with mares, fed gratis.—
Every care and attention will be taken to guard
aeainst accidents and escapes, but no liability
will bo incurred for cither. A rcpoit having
gained circulation that John Bascombc would
not cover, I take this method to contradict it,
so far as he has not refused.
PEDIGREE.—John Bascombe is a light
chcsuut, fifteen and a half hands high, fine bone
and muscle, with very superior limbs and action
six years old the ensuing spring ; he was got
by the celebrated horse Bertinnd, sen., his dam
was got by Pacolet, and he by imported Citi

! lij.s great grand data by Wade Hampton’s Pata-

Traveller, out of Col. Bird’s Calista ; Bascom- I
he’s great great grand by imported Figure, his
great great grand dam was old Shamerkin, who
was got by imported Wiltlair, of the Cub Blare.
Bascombe’s performnnte on the Turf are of
so recent date, and consequently so well known,
I deem it unnecessaty to trouble the public with
any remarks of mine, in relation to them, ex

he has been in my bands.

Truffle is owned by Ex-Governor James Bar

Richard Rowell of Baldwin co.inty Georgia.
He will stand the ensuing seasotiat the planta

to mares on the following terms: Fifty Dollars,!

( mares at thirty-live dollars the season, which may ;

All possible care will be taken to pre.vcitt acei
euts, 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 ol the
blood horse of the south—a period ot which
the gay and sprightly offspring ol Alark Galla— i
tin, Potomac, Whip, and Andrew, are eliciting |
the admiration of a large portion ol the comrnu- I
nity, and commanding the attention of the
sporting world. To tiie progeny ot all 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 tremendcous 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 W years old ; Coquette for
SlOuO, after she had broke down; and fora
brood mare, Bersbeba would have commanded
any price her owner would have -.sited, but she
died when going into her seconl training. She
was thought by her trainers to be the best
mare the world ever produced. For Janette,
$2,500 were refused, Tariffit is believed sold
for $30(10,; for Eliza Kirby, 2,500 has been re
us' d ; $2,250 was refused for Gen. Brooke the
last son of Bet Rounce, and Arab himsclfsold
for $5!)00, and cannot be bought at this
time not less than double that sum. These
plain, simple, and unvarnished facts, which
need no comment, tire motioned for no other
purpose than to show 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 whoso opinions in Vir
ginia, and every where else, are acknowledged
to be unquestionable :
“Bet Bounce and her stock arc 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 fust colt, that was sold for 1,500 dollars of
Coquette, by Sir Archie,that 1 sold for 1.0110
after breaking down. She was the dam of
Jeannette, by Archie, that 1 gave fifteen hnn-i
< dred dollars for, and refused 2,5' 0; ako By-
rout' by Virginian,, which at two years old, sold
lor $1,500; of Silvertail, (a filly) by Archi
that commanded at one vear old S,IOCO ; of a
two year old Archie Filly that would bring
$10()t): and of a sucking filly at her side, by
Medley, for which S6OO has been offered.
Bet Bounce was also the dam of Bersheba by
Archil! that died at three years old, and was the
favorite of the family. She never appeared in
public hut once, when she contended witfi the
son of old Bet, that 1 gave SIOOO for at 11
months old. Sally AlePville, by Virginian, her
daughter, I sold for $1,61>0 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 Air. Alingo, her owner to enter into a
sweepstake at New-York, to be fun for
next spring, there are 17 subscribers at 500
dollars each: and ofa yearling'colt by Archie,
that told me he had offered ssu() when he was
three weeks old. Her stock tire generally large
handsome and admired, and almost the whole
ol them alluded to by’ me, would command
very high prices at this time, some of them three
or lour times their cost. These sales have cer
tainly taken place. I have preferred stating,
to giving or procuring certificates.
(Signed; WILLIAAI R.JOHNSON.
Making the sum of near $20,000 that old
Bet and ten of her family’ actually sold lor, 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 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 winners as almost a
ny other horse now living. Our limifs 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 he is the sire
of tace 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 themselveslaurcls which will
never fide. 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 with 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. 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 Lawrenceville, beating
a Sir Charles ; one at Salisbury, beating a Di
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 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- ;
ends. Since which his colts have been running
with unparalled success in various parts ofthe
United States, and particularly in Virginia, as
will be seen by the following extract of a letter
from Air. Thomas Goode Tucker, a gentleman
of high standing and character, of Brunswick 1
county, Virginia. Speaking of Arab he says,
“Some of bis get at this time, though ia young
and inexperienced hands, are gathering the
laurels, even with such men as Johnson and
Wynn as their competitors. Tubcrouse 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 insidttous attack of interested jockeys,
’tis ARAB.”
PEDIGREE.
ARAB is a beautiful dark bay, over 19
hands high, honest measure, of fins carriage
and action, and commanding presence; was
sired by the well known and celebrated stallion
Ohl 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 Hurt’s im
ported Medley, great-grandam by old Mark
Anthony, g. g. grandam by imported Jolly Ro
ger, out of the imported mare Jemmy Camme
ron.
(Signed) JAAIES J. HARRSION.
The satne gentleman, after stating in the most
glowing terms, his opinion of Bet Bounce and
her stock, for he trained them al),] speaks of A
tab 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 Timoieon) two mile
I heats, at three heats. This race was won by
Fltrtilla, owing to circumstances. Twenty
days afterwards, be beat Flirtilla, at Halifax,
N. C. two mile heats for the great stake—three
I days afterwards, he was entered against the cel
ebrated Sir Henry, and the heroine Janette, 3
mile beats. 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, lie 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. Ide then run atrial of two miles
out with the celebrated Henry, beating him
from 69 t° 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 ptiles 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 lather. After running three
inilr?s or more, Arab was going ahead as bard as
the bov could pull him from 60 to 80 yards, and
suddenly, for the first time in bis 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
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
Jolmßichards, 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
! they be. As regards blood be cannot be sttr
’ passed ; nothing could be more pure at his foun-
tain, and not one drop of impurity in any of the
tributary streams. As regards his size and
beauty, we honesty believe Iris equal cannot
be found in any 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 hoise would be less than
uselesj. He combines and all the strength and
boldnes 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 bitt just that we should render a
valuanble consideration in return for what we
receive we offer Arab’s services to the public on
more reasonable terms thau those of any other
horse on the continent, of hit grade
A short list of winning colts is subjoined to
gratify those of our friends who have net an op
portunity of referring at all times to the Turf
Register ; and in almost every instance where
Ins 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 lour heats, beating
an Eclipse and three others.
Same fall, at Jerusalem, she won the 2 mile
heats in three minutes 52 second,and 3 miuuites
55 sconds.
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
Same fall, at Oglethorpe, Tube Rose, by
Arab won the mile heats, 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, and 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 the
Proprietor’s purse, 2 mile heats, beating with
ease Mr. White’s Rapid, by Ratler, Eliza
Walker, by Eclipse, and Lady Mayo, l.y 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
3in 5, won by Division, by Arab, beating a Sir
Charles and a Monsieur Tonson, at 5 heats.
Fall of 1833, at New Market, sweepstakes,
for three year olds, won by Rosetta Kendall,
beating two Medleys. And who in the South
and West has not heard of Bass’ Filly? ibe fur
famed Rebecca Smith, now Betsey Rushions ;
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 of the unparalled success of Tartar
by Arab, who in five contests vanquished with
ease all Iris competitors, among whom wasccle-l
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 of the
cclebated horses in America, at ail distances,
from 1 to 16 miles, sustaining the high charac
ter of their distinguished ancestor.
Now is the opportunity offered to the citi
zens of Georgia, for breeding from this noble
horse. Those wishing to improve their stock,
know their interest.
