TO OUR PATROLS.
Wn announce to our numerous subscribers and friends, that in the
•course of a few weeks we .lull execute an arrangement, which wc have
contemplated tors,.mo time p ist. ami which has met the decided appro
bation of all to h!u>ih it lias been communicated.
' he arrangement to which we allude, is the semi-weekly publication '
of the Standard or Inion, up >ll paper of the dimensions of the j
Southern Recorder. We have no doubt that this plan will be very gen
erally approbated us it will afford a much greater quantity of rending
matter, and enable ns to disseminate the current news of the times, fresh
as it comes to hand.
It will nevertheless impose much additional labor aud expense upon ,
ns, but we rely with confidence, upon our friends to sustain us in the ,
undertaking. 1
Upon this subject, we shall speak more at large, in a future number. :
The elements of discord are in motion on the other side of the water. !
There has been excitement and bloodshed in Franca, and England is
threatened with convulsion; but when or where it will end. Heaven
only knows.
The example of the American confederacy is working a mighty revo
lution iu the miuds of civilized and enlightened men—a revolution fatal
to despotism in every form. Although France and England retain the
forms of monarchy, the people of those countries have learned from bit
ter experience, that there exists a power amongst them, far more dan- !
gerous to liberty, mid a thousand times more uncontrollable than the
crown, hi. the aristocracy, which grinds them to the dust; the privi- ■
leged orders wielding the wealth, and sharing among themselves, the
honors ami emoluments of public station.
Against the despotism oftliis class the indignation of the people is arous- |
•d. It is an issue between the many mid the few ;—between the right of
the people to govern themselves, and the power of the few, to make them
hew ers of wood mid drawers of water.
lu a contest l.ke this, we shall al.vays be found on the side of the peo- !
pie, and they have only to be true to themselves to ensure the victory. j
Nor is it in England and ]• rance alone, that aristocrats are to be found. j
Even in our own country do we w itness a spirit of dictation, which seeks
to control the measures of government, as well as the regulations of so
ciety, not le-sati lacious than in the countries to which we allude, nor of
consequences less pernicious, if not checked in seasonable time.
Il is time that we should awake—that wc should open our eyes, and
see things as they are. That we should make a bold, decided staud up
on the btoad platform of our rights, resolved to maintain them or perish.
CENTRAL RAIL ROAD.
We are highly gratified at the rapid progress of the Central Rail
Road, seventy miles completed, and a number more proceeding with
a steady pace. W e may expect it to advance one hundred miles, |
into the interior, w ithin a very few months.
W ith a daily line ol Stages from the present terminus, to J/acon,
via this city, a trip to Savannah, is a thing of nothing, leaving here
al 12 or 1 o’clock to day, and reaching Savanliah to-morrow after
noon ; and should the company drive on, as we are certain they will
do, with their accustomed energy, the time is not distant, when we I
shall be biought within a single day’s travel of out leading sea port. [
We bid God’s speed Io the enterprise, considering it by far, the most I
important work of internal improvement for Georgia, which has ever
been set on foot.
Penetrating tiie heart of our State, as it docs, who can calculate the
value of the stock, in times to come? The vast amount of cotton
■nd other productions which it is destined to bear to an Atlantic J/ar
ket ; the merchandize which it must bring to a large, fertile, and
wealthy section,and the immense travel which its location will ensure
■l* lire certain go trr.intent ol an overwhelming and profitable busi
ness.
We are pleased to learn, that the directors have declared a divi
dend lit the rate ol 8 per cent, per annum, on that portion of the slock
used tur banking purposes, and one percent, upon the profits of the
road already completed, lot the last six months.
We look with anxious expectations to the day when litis great work
shall be accomplished, and when Georgia, can proudly point to her
own sc 1 port, as vicing with her sister cities of the Atlantic, in com
mercial importance. Come ahead my hearty's I

STATE RIGHTS .AND UNITED STATES RIGHTS.
No. 88.
dominationoj Gov. Trou/t, fyc.— lt is amusing to hear the
Nulliiiers talk of nominating Governor Troup for the Presi-
They will in ,|n e time bring out the “State Rights”
Ticket; they will “ *(an ( l by their arms;” they will bring oui
“old Cim intiatus,” w ho will make asstrai<eht a furrow in over
turning abuses, as in ploughing the glebe of old Laurens, (fc.
Do these men remember that this expedient failed them four
years ago? For the purpose of preventing the nomination of
Mr. .V an Buren, as a prominent man among them told me, they
nominated Gov. Troup; and from that time to this, 1 h ive not
known a single press, or prominent man among them, to sup
port the nomination. At an early period, indeed, the Georgia
Journal, an organ of the party, formerly abandoned Gov.
1 roup; and, went into the support of Judge White. In the
mean time, the nomination had an«w ,, re<l the further purpose
nt fixing many of the friends of Gov. Troup, who were not
nulliiiers, in their association with that parly. These purposes
answered, there was no further need for Gov. Troup’s nomina
tion.
The signal failure of all these movements, as to the result of
the presidential election, is within the memory of every one.
Now again, however, an attempt is in..de to ; lay ofl’thesainc
tricks with the people. In disregard of the feelings of Gov.
I'roup, the Nulliiiers again talk of nominating him ; not in the
expectation that he can possibly succeed, or get a decent sup
port ; but tor the purpose of again inducing Georgia to throw
away her vote; for Gov. Troup cannot get the vote of any oth
er State but Georgia— he cannot get the vole of Georgia ! The
| people will not again throw away their votes; the election of
: President is too important; too much principle is involved.—
1 hey know that either Mr. Clay, or Mr.. Van Buren, will be
president; they know that Mr. Van Buren sustains many if
not all their leading views ; they know that Mr. Clav opposes
nearly all ; they know that the direct support of Governor
j Troup, or any other third man, would under existing circum
: stances, be the indirect support of Air. Clav. The people
, know all this, ami they cannot again be induced to throw away
their votes.
W hy do the Nulliiiers so frequently talk of Gov. Troup ? Is
it on account of their great respect for him ? I cannot but
j doubt it. Many of his opinions were formerly very unpalata
ble to them; his “early disrelish” for some of their views, was
very unacceptable; his tn -inorable declaration, “the only con
stitutional remedy for unconstitutional laws is the ballot box,”
was unsatisfactory; and his admission, that at the same time a
State might resisit oppression,” other States might unite against
them to COMPEL a fulfilment of her obligations under the pub
lic law,” was extremely grating to those who said so much a
bout the force-bill. Whether their subsequent support of Judge
White, one of lhe most distinguished supporters of the force
bill, removed their repugnance to these sentiments, or w hether
they vere satisfied by certain subsequent declarations of Gov.
Troup, wliich however, inconsistent with the sentiments just ad
verted to, were more consonant to their views, is perhaps not
material to the present inquiry.
It I know ntysell, I still highly estimate the man, Governor
Troup, w hom I so long delighted to honor, and for whose frail
ties, in an humbling sense oi my own, 1 would make due al
lowance.
But it doesappear to me that respect for his feelings, regard
for the public good, and even good policy on the part of the
Whigs; of which, however, they will judge forthemselves; all
render it improper to draw him from bis retreat, without the
most remote probability of benefiting him ; and with very lit
tle probability' ot injuring Mr. Van Buren, or benfiting Mr.
Clay. In this view, I am the more confident, as I consider
Gov. Troup sound in his general views on the subject of a na
tional bank, a protective larifi, and internal improvements—on
, the entire subject of constructive power.

Some time since a report was in circulation in this citv, and as we
understood, in several other parts of this State, in the highest degree
injurious and ruinous to the character of Dr. Marks’ Female Insti
tute at Barnhamville, near Columbia, S. C. How it originated we |
never could learn, and as nothing has been heard of it for some weeks, !
public opinion, wholly incredulous from the first, lias already consign- 1
ed the report and its author, whoever he may be, to the infamy they de- ‘
serve. We now take pleasure in saying that the most inconteslible j
evidence ot the utter and entire falsehood and groundlessness of ihe |
repot thus been placed in ottr possession ; and can be seen at our 1
office. It is from such men as \V. C. Preston, F. H. Elmore, B. T.
Elmore, Gov. Butler, Wade Hampton, K. B. Rhett, and a number of'
others of the highest respectability, who reside in the immediate vi
cinity of die Institute. The report was a sheer fabrication without
even the slightest circumstances upon which to base it.

Water-melons.— We were presented yesterday with a fine water->
melon, by Mr. J. A. Dove, which was raised on his plantation about .
thirteen miles from this city. \\ e understand he brought about 30 to i
market yesterday, and notwithstanding tho pressure of the limes, soon !
disposed of them at fifty cents apiece. The 12th June is early to
have this delicious vegetable in our market, and they do not come j
amiss this warm weather when the thermometer ranges at 94.

Daring gs a Girl. — An interesting incident is told in the
history of the early times of Wheeling, Va. The Indians hail
atta< ked Hit; place, when all the inhabitants fled for shelter to
the block Imnse or fort. There they for a long time resisted
their savage foe, and until it was discovered that their amnni
lion was nearly exhausted. Disheartened ami fatigued, lhe
■■tontest hearts now quailed. It was known that a large qtian
tity of powder was stored nt lhe house of Colonel Zane close
by, but to attempt removing it was certain death, as the Indians
had completely invested it. At (his tryintr moment, a hetintifnl
trill, a daughter of ( 01. Znnc, who had just returned from a
boarding school at Philadelphia, heropaily volnntecred to go
and fetch it. 'I lie Indians were astonished when she set out
and did not fire, merely exclaiming “ a squaw I a squaw!” hut
when they saw her returning with her apron filled with powder,
I they snw her object and poured a shower of balls upon her, but
, she fortunately escaped to the fort unhurt.
Singular escape from an Alligator. A boy from
one of the towns lying on one of the Southern rivers, while
' bathing was attacked by one of those “ugly insects,” (as they
were laughingly termed, by an “ancient mariner” of onr ac
quaintance.) '1 he advance of the monster were unforseen.
I A shout from the companions of the endangered youth failed to
warn him from the spot, —and my blood freezes while I write !
ho rushed into the very jaws of the water demon before him.
Oh, God! what an awful moment to the young spectators was
that; they saw their young companion struggling in the waves
his head locked in the very jaws of the enemy. The combat
ants sank.—With admirable adroitness, the youth seized the al
ligator by the eye-holes, forcing the balls instantly from the
sockets. With a fiend-like howl, the monster relaxed his hold
and retreated to the bottom of the river, while the unlucky youth
blinded and drenched with blood, staggered to the shore. This
.is no fancy sketch.—lt occurred about five years ago near Da
rien, in Georgia, at a place called Cat Head, a small stream
J which empties into the Altamaha river. The lad referred to a
-1 hove, is now living in ottr city, well and hearty. We saw him
a day or two ago. He often speaks of the Adventure ami of
the “tussle” he had to gel clear of his Alligatorship. Other
encounters of this kind have been communicated to us.
Cotton Manufacture at Lowell.-- According to a state
ment published in the Methuen Gazette, the quantity of cotton
cloth manufactured by eight companies in Lowell, in the week
eliding 27th April last, was 1,227,506 yards and in the follow
ing week 1,212,276 yards. Titisiseqnal to 63,000,000 yards

Grand Gulf, Miss. June 1, 1839.
Dear Sir—l hasten to inform yiiu that yesterday the greater por
tion of the beautiful little town of Port Gibson, about nine miles
from Grand Gulf was destroyed by fire, wliich origina'ed by accident,
about 11 o’clock, A M. The loss of property is estimated at not
loss than seven limulred thousand dollars—hy some persons at one
million. Most of the principal merchants are utterly ruined. The
con t house was totally destroyed, and lhe whole of the principal bu
siness sheets is nothing but a heap of ruins. The houses were prin
cipally of brick. 1 have just returned fro fit the scene. Mever in
my life have I been more moved by the sight of calamity tliirn by
this. The citizens ami the strangers in town were in the greatest
agitation ; some of the unfortunate inhabitants were frantic with loss.
The Circuit Court of Claiborne county was in session last Week, but
this terrible calamity has caused the judge to adjourn the court, the
records and papers rescued from the burning court house being in
too much confusion to be arranged easily for several days. It is to
be hoped the symp ithies ol the whole country will be for the poor
unhappy people of Port Gibson.
The steamer Atlanta being about to leave, I am forced to conclude
in haste.
Yours respectfully.
Steamboat Explosion.— The steamer Buonaparte teports having
passed the wreck of the steamer Buckeye in chute No. 34, on the 30th
uh. The little steamer Madison was alongside. The Buonaparte
hailed her and asked if she wanted assistance, and was answered none
wanted. The accident occurred on the 29th, at 11 o’clock at night,
while the boat was wooding. All the boilers were blown overboaid
and one of them lodged in the bank. The boiler and hurricane
decks were completely swept away and torn to pieces. The captain
of the Buonaparte was informed that only five or six persons were
killed—but could not learn their names or ascertain further particu
lars.—Louisianian.
xlnothcr Railroad Accident.— About three o’clock yesterday after
noon as a lad about ten years of age was crossing the track of the
Ponchartrain railroad, he tripped and fell; at this moment, unfortu
nately, the men connected with the establishment were in the act of
pushing the train up to the engine, and tho wheel of the first car pas
sed over his leg, lacerating it severely, though wo understand the limb
has not been broken.— lb.
Horrible. —A girl named Matilda Drake, formerly of
Litchfield, Ct. had been seduced, carried to New York, and de
serted, as usual, by her betrayer. She was destitute, and was
turned into the street by the landlady. A woman named Cath
erine Hoffman, perceiving her beauty, coaxed her into her house
and offered her as a sacrifice to a stranger. Matilda refused to
consent, and that so enraged the brutal woman, and a man who
lived with her in their den of infamy, that they fell upon the
girl, and beat her in a most ferocious manner. Being alarmed
at the consequences, they sent her to the almshouse, where she
died on Saturday last. Both the inhuman monsters have been
arrested, charged with murder, and some of the girls of their
establishment are detained in jail as witnesses.— Boston Times.
Melancholy Accident at Niagara Falls.— We learn from the
Buffalo Commercial of Monday, that Dr. Hungerford, of Troy,
was instantly killed that morning at the Falls of Niagara. In
company with Lindsey, the guide, he had descended the Biddle
staircase on the American side, and was standing near lhe wa
ter, when a mass of rock, weighing several tons, fell from the
bank above, a height of some 150 feet, directly upon him.—
Lindsey suffered a severe contusion on his left arm, but was not
otherwise injured.— Transcript.
Shocking Accident. —We learn that David Vanderbelt,
a driver of one of the baggage cars, was yesterday afternoon
killed almost instantaneously, near Fairmount, by falling under
the wheels of a loaded car, which passed across his arm and bo
dy, mangling them in a most shocking manner. He was a
printer by profession, and was much esteemed by his employer,
in whose service he has been engaged for the last two years.

Horrible Transaction. —ln the Circuit Court ofCopiab
county on Friday last, Alva Carpenter was put on trial, charg
ed with the murder of Mr. Keller, late Judge of Probate of
that county. The evidence closed about SP. M. on Friday
at which time we left Gallatin. We learn, however, from a gen
tleman who left on Sunday morning that the case was submitted
to the jury about 9 o’clock, who after being absent a short
time, returned a verdict of manslaughter.—As the officer of the
court was on the eve of taking the prisoner back to jail, a sud
den uproar took place, the lights were all pul out, and Car
penter was stabbed in three or four places, one of his hands
cut off, and he fell a corpse in the “hall of the court.” It is
supposed that the persons who were engaged in this high-hand
ed and horrible transaction, were relatives of Mr. Keller. Our
next mail from Gallatin will doubtless give us full particulars.
What is Mississippi coming to? It would seem that no man’s
life or property is respected. We blush for the name posterity
will be lorced to ascribe to her.
Hold ON Ladies. —We perceive large flaring bonnets are
coming into fashion agv.in. We saw one the other evening
which flared out like a spread eagle. Do not ladies know that
small bonnets are all the rage in England ? So say the ac
cottn’s of fashion brought by the Great Western —an item al
most as important as that relating to the North Eastern Boun
dary.
The Portland Advertiser says.—When a man gets married,
he with his wife and child will make three. We know a man
in Unity (Me.) who got married, and heand his wife alone made
tiventy-one —all boys.
A Down East Brief- —‘ There are three points in this case
may it please your honor,’ said the defendant’s counsel. ‘ln
the first place we contend that the kettle was cracked when we
borrowed it: and secondly that it was whole when we returned
it; and thirdly that we never had it.' Some of onr lawyers
j nearer home we opine need not go down east for a precedent.
A plaintifl lately brought an action against a Saratoga sports
, man for negligently shooting his cow instead of the wood

; rgNHESE Pills are no longer among those of doubtful utilitv. They
j have passed away from the hutnlretls that are ihuly launched up
on the tide of experiment, and newsstand before tho public as hi_h in
reputation, and as extensively employed iu ell parts of the United States,
the Canadas, Texas. Mexico, and lhe West Indies, ns any mVdicirte that
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering man. They have been
introduced wherever it was found possible to carry them; an I there are
but tew towns that do not contain sorne remarkable evidences of their
good effects. The certificates that have beer presented to the proprietor
exceed twenty thousand ! upwards of live hundred of which are from
regular practising physicians, who arc tbo most competent judges of
their merits.
Often have the cures performed l>v this medicine been the subject of
editorial comment, in various newspapers and journal-; audit may
with truth be asserted, that no medicine <>f the kind ha., ever received
testimonials of greater value tbnn me attached to this.
They ate in general use ns a family medicine and there arc thousand*
of Inrniiies who declare they are never satisfied until they have a supply
always on hand.

From Dr. Eli Todd, late President of the Medical Society,
of Connecticut, and Principal of the Insane Hospital, at
liar if ord, dated September 8, 1828.
MY persona? acquaintance with Dr. Joseph Priestly Peter*, togeth
er with the vc ry favorablo impression of his talents aud his char
acter, derived fr<? m his friends, have satisfied me that he is well entitled
to the medical honors hu received at Yale College, and that the public
may safely confide in his integrity and skill, in the exercise of liis pnjes
sion.
The following war forwarded to Dr, Peters, by a highly respectable
Planter of Wake County. N. Ca., March 3d, 1833.
Dr. Peters—Dear S.’r,—By request of your agent, Mr Harrison, I
send you a few lines re spccting the almost miraculous effects of your
pills; and I would add, th at you may make use of tbetn, in coimcction
with my name, iu any ina oner you deem proper. I speak of their mer
its from experience, as I a 'id my family have taken upwards of thirty
boxes in three yeuis; and s o great are the bent fits we have received
from them iu general, that I ivould rather purchase them at. ten dollars
a box than have my house without them. I will not enumerate the af
flictions they have relieved us o?: but I enn assure you they were many,
and of very opposite natures. v.’Jtich has fully proved to me that your
medicine is a simple purifier of f be system, and tJicrefbro equally the
enemy of every disease. I will m ‘mtion one case. 1 have a sister who
had been for a long period severe, Y "flliefed w ith dropty in the chest
and was brought by it to the verge o. f the grave Hhe was attended 4»y
the most eminent physicians that mo.tey could procure; but all lheir ef
forts to restore her to health, or even to mitigate her stiffcriitg’t wete^ fruit
less ; and accordingly, we all cotisi«lerc<l her immediate death as inevi
table. By good fortune, however, t.s ’e was in this situation, expect
ing every day to be her last, your pills w-Me introduced info my family,
and so speedy and palpable were their cfle v'* that three doses visibly re
lieved her, and in Jess than three montbs r l ,w was perfectly restored to
health. The case, I and all who were witnct’* <»? but (more especially
the suffering party,) considered to be the net.' thing to miraculous; and
yet t could mention many more of an equally < desperate nature, tit which
your pills were equally succesdul in rescuing the patients from the jaws
of death. Need I add that the popularity oi' yottr medicine amounts to
enthusiasm in this section of the country T * B"* • presume you
know from the immense quantity you dispose of. J may mention, how
ever, that notwithstanding its general use, I nrsver heart! an individual
complain of its effects. My residence is 12 mil is ii oni Raleigh, on the
road to Fayetteville. lam with sentiment* of it giinl. your ob’t servant.
A. g. Bank*.
To Dr. Peters,—Sir—fur upwards of fifteen mot’tbs. I have been cru
clly afflicted with Fever and Ague; at,d during the time could find noth
ing—though I had applied to every thing that gave me any thing like
permanent relief. At length, however, your pills wet e recommended to
me, by one of our best physicians, and I am most grat 'd»l mid happy iu
being able to add, that I had scarcely used two boxes w hen I found that
they bad restored me to perfect health Since then, van >us member* of
my family have used them with equal success—aud cons iqnently I feel
it my duty to apprise you of the fact, and to request of yt.’U to publish
this certificate, as I am anxious to add tny public te*timon,Y to lhe al
most miraculous virtues of your uurivalled medicine.
THEODORE JAMES,
Augusta, Ga. Feb. 10, 1839.
Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. 11. Irwiu\of Flor
ence, Georgias
Dr. J. P. Peters—My Dear Sir—On the night of the 11th inst., 1 was
called in great haste to the bouse of a fellow citizen, (Mr. Lee.) whero
I found h's son laboring under a most alarming attack of Cynan'che Trac
nealis (Ctoup) and apparently beyond the aid of remedy. By the great
est good fortune, however, 1 had in my pockets a broken box of your
pills—four of w hich I administered, with such immediate hippy effect
that in a few minutes my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This
case, in connection with my name is at your service—and 1 have the
pleasure to inform yon that your inestimable medicine is in such creat fa
vor with the faculty here, that I believe there is not or,e of them who
does not use it iu his private practice.
Yours most respectfully,
March 13, 1839. J. H. IRWIN. M. D.
Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bogart, of Providence.
R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’ Pilis are an excellent aperieht and cathar
tic medicine, those effects being produced by the differences of the quan
tity taken, aud are decidedly superior to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison's
Pills.
Extract from a letter written by Dr. Hopson c f Bangor, Maine, Jan..
9,1839 They are a peculiarly mild yet efficient, purgative
and produce little, if any. griping or naseau. J. have prescribed them
with such success in sick headache and slight bil!.ions fever.
Extract of a letter hy Dr. Joseph Williams of Burlington, Vt, July
9. 1837.—1 cordially recommend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and
iuno ease dangerous, fami'y medicine They are peculiarly influenliat:
in costiveness and all the usual diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw. Smith of Montreal, U. C.. Sept.
27, 1836.—1 never knew a single patent medicine that I could put lliw
least confidettce in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, w hich are really a
valuable discovery. I have no hesitation in having it known that Fuse
them extensively in my practice, for all complaints, (and'they are not a.
few) which have their source ia the impurity of the blood.
Extract of a Icttet from Dr. Dye of Quebec.L. C., March 6. 1837.
For billions fever*, sick headache, torpidity ot the Itowels, and enlarge
ment of the spleen, Dr. Peters’ Pills are an ‘excellent medicine.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Gurney of New Orleans, La.. Oct. 9.
1837. 1 have received much assistance i.n my practice especially in,
jaundice and yellow fever, from the use of Peters'Pills. 1 presume that
ou an average, I prescribe 109 boxes in a month.
Extract of aletterfrom Dr. Prichard of Hudson,N. Y., June 3,1836.
I was aware that Dr. Peters was one of the best chemists in the United
States, and felt assured that he w ould s ome day (from bis intimate know
ledge of the properties of herbs and drugs) produce an efficient inedi
■ cine, and I must acknowledge that hjs Vegetable Pills fully respond to
my expectations. They are indaed a superior medicine, aud reflect cred
it alike upon the Chemist, the Physician and lhe Philosopher.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Waines of Cincinnati, Feb. 2, 1838—
Your Pills are the mildest in t'.ietr operations, and yet most powerful iu
their effects, of any that 1 htv.e ever met with in a practice of eight and
twenty years. Their action on the chyle, and hence on the impurities of
blood, is evidently very surprising.
Extractor aletterfrom Dr. Scott of Baltimore,Dec. 17.1836.—1 am
in the daily habit of preset ibing them. (Peters’ Pills) and they in nearly
all cases answered my purpose. 1 have discarded other medicines, sotao
of them very good ©ties, tn their favor.
Chablotte, N. C., Jan. 1, 1837.
Dear Str—l have if.nde frequent use of your Pills in the incipient
stage of billions fever, and obstinate constipation of the bowels: also, in
the enlargement of the spleen, ehtonic disenses of tho liver, sick head

fective.
