CHANGE OF DIRECTION.
We desire such of our subscribers as may at
au v time wish the direction of their papers chan
ged from one Post Oilice to another, to inform
as, in all cases, of the place to which they had
been previously sent; as the mere order to for
ward them to a different office, places it almost
out of our power,tocomply,because we have no
means of ascertaining the office from which they
uro ordered to be changed, but a search through
our whole subscription Book, containing severe
thousand names.
POSTAGE.
It is a standing rule with this office, as wel
as all others, that the postage of all letters and
communications to trie Editor or Proprietor
must be paid. XX e 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
of Union, are particularly requested to givethei
attention to this; or they will not have the pa
per forwarded to them.
TO ADVERTISERS ABROAD.
Persons, at a distance, who are desirous
of giving their advertisements an extensive
circulation, are respectfully informed that
THE STANDARD OF UNION presents the
means of spreading them before a larger
number of readers than any paper in Geor
gia, or perhaps in the Southern country,
with but a single exception. There is not
a State or Territory in the Union, to which
it lias nut found its way ; and scarcely a
Po»t Office in this State where it is not ta
ken.

FipHE TRUSTEES of this Institution, take
great pleasure in announcing to parents and
guafdians, and the public generally, that they have
engaged the services of the Rev. William Wood,
(former Editor of the Jacksonville Register,) for
the present year. Mr. Wood is so well known as
a gentleman of science, and successful instructor
of youth, that we deem it unnecessary to say any
thing in commendation of him as a teacher. The
situation of the academy is unquestionably healthy,
being situated in the centre of the Cedar Valley,
the most southern blue lime stone water in the
State. Parents having dyspeptic, or unhealthy
children, would do well to send them to this Insti
tution. Board can be had either at a public tavern,
or in private families, convenient to the academy,
on moderate terms.

Bill is a tall likely fellow about twenty-seven years
of age. and has no peculiar ma>'ks on his person
by which a particular description could be given of
him. Bill has been absent from home ever since
the 2d of January last with his wagon and team
and did not return until XVednesday last, when he
immediately left without showing himself to any
oi the white family. From information that I
have received, it is more than probable that he has
several hundred dollars with him. being the pro
ceeds ofhis freight since the 2d January. I under
stand that he has repeatedly shown his money, and
1 think it likely that some white person may have
given him a free pass or enticed him off, as there is
no doubt many of Murrell’s gang lurking through
our State. A liberal rewa'd will be given to any
