refusal of the city Council to allow the use

The Georgia and Alabama Boundary
JLine.
have been sorne
tbßt th 0 <' ,ClSe< tWO or three days bv a report
, that the Supreme Court of the United States has
decided that the Oswichee bend is the “great
! I’d m the Chattahoochee river, from the West
side oi which the boundary line should run due
North throwing Columbus West of the line and
into Alabama! Th* Montgomery Journal of yes
terday, thus alludes to this matter :
“If we have been informed aright, the Georgia
at the original survey of the boun
dary line insisted that the Oswichee bend below
Columbus was the great bend intended, and used
it as the point of departure. On running the line
lom^T f ° U * d ‘H?* Alabama would be entitled to
iTtZT V a aSt OLf 0 L f the river - They then -sought
snit f nit i K l<?r bend up the riTer - a,l d found one which
suited their purpose better at West Point. Some
litigation at Columbus, in reference to the claim of
! w'lPx to jurisdiction to high water mark on the
I , Cs , t bakk of the Chattahoochee, brought the!
vvbolc qnestion, we learn, on appeal, before the
■ •upreme Court which decided, on reference to
i T ie ori gtnal papers, that the Oswichee bend was
I l “*P° ,n t designated in the original cession.
| Be this, however, as it may, our people need I
i ** ot ‘ a .v the “flattering unction to their souls,” that j
they will ever get this territory in dispute. Our
neighbors are proverbial for the love of land, and !
will never be likely to let go their hold on a single
i turlong. However, without any joking, the people
: of the ‘one-horse villiage ’ alluded to (meaning
Montgomery), would be delighted to see the
gira of the Columbus boys to the said r'bury,
whether they came “en masse” or in squads— :
I Jbev will be equally welcome. The next month I
brings the genial season for encampments.”
The rumor which we heard in reference to this i
matter (some two weeks since) was that the Gov
•■rnor of Alabama had instructed the Attorney of
that State to insist, before the Suureme Court up- I
on to the line running due North from the Oswichee !
Bend as the true boundary, and not that the Su
preme Court had docided the case in that wav. We
are not aware that the case has been decided.
\\ e presume that the question of boundary now !
before the Supreme Court of (be United States u
raised by the case of Howard rs. lngersoll, which
involved the right of a citizen of Alabama to build j
a dam and run a factory on the West side of the j
river. If we recollect aright, the Supreme Court i
of Alabama decided the question in favor of In- 1
gersoll—affirming that the usual current of the !
river, and not the extent of high water, limited
the jurisdiction of Georgia on the West ; and we
thml' that the United States Supreme Court over- I
ruled this decision, and that the ease lias again 1
gone up to it on some other point winch we do not i
fully understand.
Firemen’s Festival.
The Phienix Fire Engine Company, P. J. Por
eher, President, were out in good force yesterday,
| and were well supported and seconded bv the dfs
plav of the two companies who joined them as an
escort in reception of the visiters from Augusta.
The Eagle Fire Engine Company, lL M. StrobeL
President, and the Charleston Fire Engine Compa
ny, R. Lucas, President, were the escort, arid each
made a most gratifying appearance in numbers
and equipments. The procession were in waiting
at the Depot in good time, and about 5 o’clock"
P- M., had the pleasure of receiving and greeting
the visitors from Augusta, Ga.. the Mechanic Fire
Engine Company, and a representative deputation
of the Clinch Fire Engine Company. The Engine
ot the Mechanic Company was soon manned bv
the hosts of the Phoenix ranks, and the procession
moved along the prescribed route, carrying on two
parallel streams of spectators of all ages and colors
on the pavements, and inducing an elevation of
ill windows of houses on the line of march. The j
hearty and joyous intensity with which our juve- :
nile population enjoy a procession, is a striking I
feature.
The visiting engine having been duly put into I
berth, the visitors were escorted to the Charleston I
Hotel, and consigned, for the time being, to the
care of Mixer, who will no doubt be enabled to
acquit himself with his usual success in the mat
ter.
In the evening the guests were conducted to the j
Phoenix Hall, which was tastefully illuminated for 1
the occasion, aud a very pleasing opportunity was
afforded tor some time for social interchanges of
courtesies and introductions in a free re-union. I
The looking at the various ornaments and fixtures
of the very attractive hall above, aud the critical i
comparison of the two engines, the Mechanic and !
the Phoenix, winch were placed together in the
basement, afforded matter for much occupation, j
which was punctuated at discretion by a resort to
refreshments, which were at hand, Nearly all our ;
engine balls had their latch-strings outside of the !
doors, and firemen were in free ami friendly cir- ,
dilation all round. The notes of preparation j
were every where rife for the contest of this dav,
which will be an animating and exciting occasion,
and which shall be fully reported to-morrow.
Charleston Courier, April 29.
Later from Fort Pierre.
The St. Joseph Mo.) Gazette announces the ar
rival of Col, A. J. Vaighan, Indian Agent at that J
place, on the 12th inst., from Fort Pierre, and says:
Col. V lughati left Fort Clark for Fort Pierre on |
the 31st December, and arrived at the latter place
on tlie 2d of February, travelling the whole dis- i
tanee through snows of every imaginable depth,
the thermometer ranging from 25° to 80” below i
zero, with snow falling during the entire trip. The j
hardships lie endured, and the hazards he ran from !
cold and hostile Indians, are almost incredible.
The following are the various tribes of the Sioux
nation embraced in bis the Upper Missouri— [
agency: Two-kettle, numberingl,ooii; Yauctonics,
4,0-11.1; Yanctons, 3,*00; Rlac-kfeet, 1,700; Uncpa
pas, 2,400; Sansarc, 1,500; Menecongttes, 1,400; \
and Drulies, 1,2 'u; amounting, in the aggregate,
to 1(5,000, a much smaller number than lias gener
ally been supposed. These figures are reliable, as j
tlie Colonel has taken some pains to obtain correct
statements. A general council of these tribes was
called by Gen. Harney, and was attended by ull !
except three tribes. The Indians have become j
convinced that Gen. Ilarnev will not trifle with !
them ; that they must submit to such terms as he i
may dictate, or have the most sanguinary punish
ment visited upon their heads. They entreated i
Col. Vaughan to intercede for them, and protect
them from the vengeance which they are convinced
would fall upon them if Gen. Harney could not be j
turned from his purpose to chastise them for the i
many outrages committed upon American citizens, j
Upon this humble entreaty Gen. Harney agreed ‘
to grant them peace by the Blaekfeet and Uucpa- !
pas surrendering to him five of the ringleaders of I
each of their tribes, to lie deali with ai bis discre- j
tion. Col. Vaughan thinks that the Indians arc
instigated bv villainous white men, and that the
sacrifice of this number, and the expulsion of j
these men from the Indian tribes, together with j
, the total extermination of the Yactonie tribe, for \
i whom, on account of their outrageous conduct, he
uo.ubl not ask mercy, will restore peace to the !
1 whole Sioux nation. This Yanctonie band, whom ■
- it is expected Gen. Harney will sweep from the face
of the earth, have the been boldest and most cruel |
of the Western Indians, and during the past win- '
ter have offered all kinds of indignities to Colonel !
Vaughan, tlieir agent, threatening bis life on dis- ,
ferent occasions, and in some instances actually i
! offering violence to his perron. The terms which :
Gi*n. Harney lias prescribed to the other tribes
were to be complied with in sixty days.
Col. Vaughan, and in truth all who are acquani- i
ted with Gen. Harney, and his vigorous action in i
the last campaign, are enthusiastic in his praise. 1
To use Col. Vaughan’s own languarge, he has j
“produced more terror and consternation among j
the Indians, and llieir fiendish eo-adjutors, than I
was ever thought or dreamed of before.”
The Vanderbilt Line Inactive.
Three steamers are now lying idly at the i
wharves of this city—the Prometheus, the Pampe- j
ro, and the Darnel "Webster— belonging to the Ac j
cessory Transit Company. Never was there a j
period when a regular line of steamers from this j
city to Nicaragua was so much demanded when
the desire to pass swiftly the intervening sea, and i
devote hand, heart and ’intellect to the struggling j
destinies of that eventful country, throbbed in so 1
I many ardent and chivalrous bosoms, and yet these
! ships lie idlv bv, of no advantage to the commerce j
of the country, of no benefit to individuals, but to ;
! the actual and daily loss of thousands to their
I owners. On whom does the responsibility of this j
i suspension at so important and critical a moment, j
i li,.—-on Vanderbilt or Walker?
We are told that the controversy which led to j
the withdrawal of the steamers involved the mu- j
t,,al charge of non-compliance with a written con
tract. Whv should not the question, if each party
wanted nothing but justice under the contract, be ;
: submitted to a fair and competent arbitration ? ;
Whv can it not still be done, unless there is a de
i liberate determination on the part of the Transit ;
Company to co-operate vindictively, and at their
own sacrifice, with the enemies of the American
! movement in Nicaragua ; or unless there is on the
! other hand a suicidal disposition to cut ot the ,
means of transport, while inviting emigration to :
the country?
It is certain that Vanderbilt can Uok for no in
tervention bv our Government in his difficulties.
The expressed acknowledgement of his agent,
Joseph L White, pending the Northern Light eon
troversv to the effect that “we t the company ) one
allegiance to it, (Walker’s Government) and to it
we must look for the protection pledged in our
charter,” precludes anv such possibility. Marcv
has not forgotten this declaration, and there is no
doubt but that he will act accordingly. W e see no
other means of bringing this difficulty to a final
amicable arrangement than by arbitration, and the
sooner this expedient is adopted the better it will
be for the cause which Walker so warmly espouses,
I and the interests of all the parties concerned.

Catholic Church Property Confiscated in
Connecticut.
Since the fact has been well settled that Right
! Reverend Bishop O’Reilly was on board the Pa
| cific, and that he is probably lost, a question of
[ much interest concerning the property of the Ro
man Catholic churches in Connecticut, has arisen.
He was the Bishop of the Hartford diocese, and
: the Roman Catholic church property in ibis city,
: and probably m this State, stood in liis individual
' name.
’ At tlie last session of the Legislature of this
State, a law was passed, tsee pages seventy-one
and seventy-two of the new pamphlet acts, 18o;>.)
| providing that no devise, lease, grant, or convey
ance, to or for any person in any ecclesiastical of
fice, shall vest any estate or interest in bis succes
sor•; that no property appropriated to purposes of
i religious worship, or for burial shall vest in any
person or persons, unless they be incorporated in
accordance with a law of tins State; that unv
church property heretofore devised or conveyed to
any individual, shall be deemed to be held in trust
for the benefit of the society or congregation using
the same, and shall, upon the deatli of such indi
vidual, vest in the religious corporation formed by
such society, provided such corporation, organized
in accordance with tlie laws of this State, is in ex
istence at the time of tlie death of such individual.
But in case the property is held by an individual,
and there be no such corporate body, then it is en
acted :
Section 1. In tlie event that congregation or so
ciety .shall not be incorporated as aforesaid, then
! and in that case the title of such real estate shall
vest in the State of Connecticut, in the same man
i ner and with the same effect as if the person hold
ing the t'tle thereto had died intestate, and without
heirs capable of inheriting such real estate.”
The next section provides that the Treasurer
shall deed such property to a corporation of such
congregation, when it shall be formed in accord
ance with the laws of Connecticut.
It is now probable that Bishop O’Reilly is dead.
He held several churches and other real estate, for
the use of Roman Catholic congregations; the\
were not organized into corporate bodies, and the
remarkable law confiscates the entire property.

Augusta Market, April 29, 4 p. 31.
E : COTTON.—The market during the past week
has been inactive, and sales could only he made
jat a slight accession to buyers. The' principal
| sellers were previous buyers, and trade was very
dull. We permit the last week to pass with few
I remarks, somewhat corresponding with its limited
operations. This morning the news was dispatched
to our city, of the arrival of the steamship Persia
with Liverpool accounts up to the T.'th inst., an
nouncing a heavy week’s business in Liverpool
and an advance of to % y lb. in Cotton. This
news caused much excitement in the trade, and
induced holders tostilfenup their prices. We heard
of no sales, but the news will increase confidence
and at least restore the market to firmness and ac
tivity at old prices.
We omit quotations, because the state of the
market, at present, will not warrant us in giving
them with any degree of reliability.

BUSINESS AND TRADE.—There has been
rather a moderate trade for the last week in mer
cantile circles. And while there has been but lit
tle doing, there has been no change in prices for
any of the leading articles. There is a good sup
ply of Sugar, Coffee, Molasses, and other commod
ities in the Grocery trade, and our Dry Goods men

ot it. We quote for hog round, for Tennessee meat, i
BPi to W}i cts. Some very tine city cured meat, i

put upon the market, and commands a higher i

fraction below. 1
FLOUR.- The market is very dull. We have i
uo change to report in City Mills. Some inferior 1

TO THE CITIZENS OF AUGUSTA.
IWOUJjD call your attention to mv new pre
paration, known as “BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC RF.M
MEDY.” This medicine is anew medical com
| pound, and is the result of long practice, exten
sive observation, and close study of all diseases
1 having their origin in a disordered state of stom
ach, and adapted to every stage of these diseases,
from their incipient symptom to those in which they
have assumed a Chronic form; and although but
| yet in its infancy, has gained a notoriety and repu
tation very seldom attained by any “ patent” pre
j paration. This Remedy is no quack nostrum, got
up to gull the people, and fleece them out of their
! money, but a medicine, which, together with the
treatment prescribed to accompany the taking of
j the medicine, has the sanction of years of success
ful application in private practice, and will not fail
, to cure the most stubborn case of Dyspepsia, no
; matter of how long standing, or how severe it may
: be, providing the directions are closely followed
| out. It was not suddenly kit upon, nor dreamed
of, but is the accretion of facts and experiments
! collected in the daily rounds of dutv as a practis
| in S Physician, and is given 10 the public in a popu-
I lar form, in the hope, as in the belief, that it will
not f.,:’in giving relief to the sufferer from Dys
pepsia, and ail other diseaseshaving their origin
in the stomach, in anyinstance when the directions
are pt\ pcrly attended to. It has received the high
est encomiums from the first physicians throughout
the North and South—it has been tried, recom
mended and certified to by some of the most emi
uen' jurists and statesmen in the country, all of
which shall appear in due time. Physicians of
large practice are now using it and reiving upon
it alone in these diseases in their practice, and re
commend it to their friends as worthy their best
confidence.
It is entirely dissimilar to any and every prepar
tion of the kind now before the people. ' The ori
ginator, entertaining views and opinions somewhat
at variance with the prescribed notions amonc
medical men generally, as regards the nature or
these diseases, has in this preparation brought to
gether medical agents of known utility and worth,
in the form of a new combination, making a com I
pound altogether and entirely new, and one that
will not fail in effecting a ewe, if directions are
followed and persevered in. The undersigned is
well aware that the same encouragement has been
given, and the same promises made, over and over
again, by manufacturers of patent medicines, as
regards their different preparations, and as vouch
er for the curative qualities of this preparation,
and for the purpose also of giving additional
weight to whatever he may say as regards this new
preparation, he would beg to refer to the fact, that
lie is the originator, manufacturer and proprietor
of the well known “Jacob’s Cordial,” the cura
tive properties of which in Cholera, Dysentery and
Diarrhea, are now being proclaimed by thousands
in every section of the country, and as being all
that he ever said of it.
The undersigned does not profess to be a philan
thropist, or that he is uninfluenced by considera
tions of pecuniary profit in placing the'Remedy he
fore the people, but he (foes know that v\ bile he may
he realizing a pecuniary profit, fellow-sufferers will
realize that w hich is of more worth to them than
the wealth of India.
Dyspepsia, like Gout, may he said to be a fash
ionable disease; it more readily than anv other, in
various of its forms, and to a greater extent, find
its victims in Ihe wealthy and aristocratic circles,
especially in large cities', and its insidious work
ings are often the real, though undiscovered cause
ot the sallow cheek, the dull, heavy eves, and gen
eral inertia indisposition to either mental or phy
sical effort, which are erroneously attributed to
other causes.
Scenes of luxurious ease are not, however, alone
the haunts of this destroyer of the health and en
joyment of myriads of mankind. Other conditions
of life there are in which it revels over faded and
emaciated forms, and dispirited and despairing
hearts. The sedentary labors of the counting
house, ami the study, not less than the intense ex
citement and irregularities of busier occupations
of mercantile life, tire promotive of it; each duilv
adding to the number of its subjects. But our
i that is the physician and his patients) object is
not, having once discovered the disease, so much
to trace it hack to its source, as to remove it from
where we find it, and to establish a healthful and
vigorous action of the various organs, bv use of |
the proper agencies, and to restore to tlieir natural j
functions these organs which had been perverted
by disease. For all
NERVOUS SUFFERERS,
This preparation, with its accompanying directions j
lor treatment, are peculiarly applicable; and if the :
former is taken and the latter closely complied with
it will not fail of curing.
Also, to those suffering from DISEASE OF THE
LIVER, it is particularly recommended, and most
admirably adapted. In WEAK AND DKHILITA-
I EDSY STEMS, it will he found as possessing tonic
properties to a pre-eminent degree, and very ad
mirably adapted to a large portion of the female
sex, whose debilitated and worn out constitutions
require an artificial restorer.
(o using ibis Remedy, iis beneficial offects max
he looked for at once. It will begin to relieve, and
the patient will know that recovery lias comrnenc- 1
ed within forty-eight or seventy-two hours, or, at
farthest, by the time he has taken the contents of
one package. To those trying the effect of this !
Remedy, 1 would propoed a test that will demon
strate to the patient that he is being benefitted.
If it is used iu a case of Dyspepsia, where pain
or other distressing feelings attend the taking of
food upon the stomach, 1 suggest that the patient,
after using the Remedy for three or four davs. and j
following closely the other directions, partake
of some articles of food which he had known pro
vtously to disagree with him, and lie will discover
that it no longer produces the disagreeable effect.
Sufferers from Dyspepsia, nervous sufferers, inva
lids from disease of the Liver, and from broken,
worn out and debilitated constitutions, try one
package; follow' out closely all the accompanying
directions, and prove the truth or falsity of what
1 have said of the Remedy. 1 would, however,
remark, that unless you determine to take the medi
cine and follow out all directions as given, 1 pre
fer you would let i" alone en'irelv, and not buv it ;
preferring much rather >o go without your money
than have you take it with out deriving benefit.

HELL’S PATENT PLOW STOCK!
fWAHE undersigned has invented and patented 1
H. a most valuable improvement in the PLOW
STOCK—the county rights for which he desires to
sell. He prefers to let others speak its praise, and
therefore introduces the following certificates, from
two planters, well and favorably known in the
community in which they reside'. He might in
troduce many others, but the Plow Stock will j
speak for itself whenever examined.
JAMES B. MELL. j
Riceboro', Liberty county, Ga.
This is to certify that I have, with my own hands,
thoroughly tested the newly invented Plow Stock
of James B. Mell, Esq. In point oi simplicity and
perfection, I have never seen or used its equal. In
tt is combined every thing that T could wish in a i
Plow Stock, and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest
and the best that has ever be -n ottered to the pub
lic. I speak from having used it with niv own
hands. I yvas raised to follow the plow, and think :
that I know how one ought to run. I would cheer
fully thank any one, who will thorouguly try it, to
point out to me one single fault in it. It is' easier
upon the horse and the plowman than any that I
have ever used.
The principle upon which you regulate the depth
of the Plow is ho simple, and yet so perfect, as to
commend itself to any one; anil the Stock is adapt
ed to any kind of Plow Hoe. It is, moreover, just
as light as any could desire it to be. I would re
commend to ahv and all, if they wish the best and
cheapest Plow Stock, without hesitation to get Mr
James B. Mell’s. {). W. Wilson.
Penlield, Ga.. April Ift, 1856.
In company with several others, I, this dav, wit
nessed the trial of Mr. James B. Moll’s Plow Stock,
by Mr. D. \\ . \\ ilson, and cheerfully state that all
present were fully satisfied that it does everything
as stated above. I would, moreover, state that I
have been using them on mv farm for several
months, and every day serves to confirm me in the
opinion of the superiority of Mr. Mell’s Plow Stock
to all others now in use. Thomas P. Janes.
