Amor a tbe many notices of the death of this emme:y- patriot and statesman, we publish the fol- I lowing from the Savannah Journal. The hiatori , facts are from SltfrinixFi Gazetteer and White’s < Hletv' i' Overturns of Georgia : Time does not permit us to give even an outline ,f the many incidents in the life of ibis man j winch have so endeared him to people of Georgia’ ' <,rd with which, especially in their political bear- • . las name has for about half a centurv been interwoven in the history of the commonwealth Jim short as the time is, ihedecease of such a man j must not be passed over too hastilv. (h.v. Troup was born -,1! September, 1780, at' " Intosh s Rluff, on the ’lontbigbee river, in that part of the Georgia Territory now' the State of Ala- I tmtmi. Receiving his early training on the sea i» i»rd of Georgia, and pursuing afterwards hisele- : mentary course at an Academy on Long Island N j V ~ he thence went to Nassau Hall College, where .or was graduated with honor. On his return to 1 Georgia, he was several times successively elected , a Representative in the Legislature from Chatham 1 county, from ISrtl to 1803. inclusive. At Sevan- i nah lie had fixed his residence, and here he had j studied law and been admitted to the bar after a i course of study under the Hon. John V. Noel. For the practice of law he seemed to have had little j relish; and in 1804 he removed to the countv of 1 Bryan, where he lived in retirement for several ! years. The records of the Superior Court of that ' county show that he discharged the duties of a grand juror there. In IS 1 Mi lie was elected a Representative to Con- ! tjress, and continued to serve the State in that ca parity until 1817>, when he again withdrew to pri- I vate life. In politics, he was a Republican of that I day, and both in the General Assembly of Georgia j and the Councils of the nation, he rendered otli- 1 cn-iit service in that school of politics of which ' Jetferson and Madison were the acknowledged heads. But he was not the partisan merely. Tak- ; ingtor his guide—as the only true mode of ad- ! ministering our complex system of Government ! a s’rict construction of the Federal Constitution, ; he never deviated from the plain path of Rcpubli- i an simplicity ; and it was enough for him to know I that under the strict line of constitutional dutv j any proposed measure was doubtful, to cause him ! t" forbear lrom the exercise of such doubtful pow- j er, “because," in his own emphatic language, “it j nas doubtful 19 never stopped to inquire into j the expediency of measures, but confined his ac tion to the limits of the charter of Government. I t< 'V. Troup was at Washington when the Brit- ! •dt, in the year lsl4, sacked the National Metropo lis and burned the Capitol. An officer of high I tank in the United States Army stated recently to ! a friend, that amongst the lew bold spirits who ' were unawed during that invasion of the British, ! when panic seemed to have possessed the public mind, were GeorgeM. Troup and Janies Monroe. | Os an ardent and bold temperament. Gov. Troup's j elocution partook of the same character. He spoke i seldom, but the words which fell from his lips ! were warm, and gushing forth with true patriotic terror. lit - speech in favor of the Embargo, in b“ :i p is said to have been highly eloquent and es- i fectire. In 1816 Gov. Troup was elected to the United i Mates Senate, for an unexpired term of two rears, as well as the full succeeding term of six years; j but iie remained in the .Senate hut two rears. In 132' he was made Governor of the State, by the I Legislature ; in 1>25 he was elected for two years ! more, bv a popular vote, the Constitution having been in the meantime altered, so as to give that election to the people. During the trying times, ' when the executive branch of Government was in j ht» bauds, occurred the most remarkable period 1 in Georgia’s annals History and tradition have both united to testify to the'exalted worth, high courage, and brilliant talents of her favorite son. He seemed to have been raised up for the occasion, as much so as Moses to guide the children of Israel to the land of promise, ,»r Washington to lead the armies of our infant Republic, or to miide S the councils of our nation. No'feeble heart could have met and repelled the shock of Federal ag- ! gression ; no pen less pointed could have encouu- ! tered and silenced the edicts from Washington, and no talents but Ins seemed fitted fur the crisis , Firm and unmoved, he breasted the waves of j Federal encroachments, and when told, by order j of the President, that there was a treaty conclu ding the rights of Georgia against the usurpations I at Washington, and the insolence of savages with in the jurisdictional limits of Georgia, he quietly reminded the Secretary of War that there was ; 'another treaty,’’ older in date, and controlling in j the matter. “ Troup and the Treaty” became the j rallying cry, the Indian title was extinguished, a ! conflict of arms was avoided, and the hero of Geor- ' gia, then called by Northern fanatics her "mad j Governor,” lived to see the linest portion of the State become the garden of the South, and to hear j his praises rung throughout the land. Gov. Troup’s correspondence on this subject, and itis messages to the Legislature during these eventful times, were 1 models in their way, and deserve to be read and pondered by every citizen of the State. In 1828, Gov. Troup was again elected to the Senate, of which body he continued a member un til November, 1534, when he resigned and retired lorever from public life. At Washington, in iß?,u, he wrote the memorable letter to Major Howard, in which lie defined the power of the State anti General Governments, and the relation of the States to each other, in so clear and masterly a manner, that it is not too much to say of it, that the author ship of such a production is enough to fill the measure of any mail’s fame. A more precious lega cy could not have been left to the people of Geor gia. ( tSince 1334, Governor Troup lias been living in; complete retirement from public engagements, oc- j casionally visiting the seaboard and mountain wa- 1 tering-places, and at his home in Laurens county giving welcome and dispensing elegant hospitali ties to his friends. His dislike for and aversion from ostentation of every sort, gave to those who . did not know him, an impression that he was cold and unsocial. But nothing is farther from the ! fact. His heart was warm, and beat \ ith generous ! and noble impulses. Consulted by political friends, he at hll times gave cordial responses to every ! question propounded, evincing constantly the same originality of thought, clearness i f mind, and force of language which characterized all the emanations from his head and heart, as when he mingled in political issues or directed the councils of a State. But we must close. History, and especially Georgia’s history, will do full justice to such a man, so prominent an actor in the drama of poli tics and the wisdom of statesmanship. We learn that his remains were interred on Monday, 2Sth ult.. at Rosemount, Montgomery county. The grave was closed over all that is mortal of him; hut when, in after years, the history of Georgia’s] heroes and statesmen shall be taught to those who are to follow us, and when the achievements of the State in moral, political and commercial greatness shall be recounted, infant ops shall learn to lisp, and infant hearts to revere, among other illustrious men, the name of the ' noblest Roman of them all”—George M. Troup. CoxxußtAL Adventure. —Tile Buffalo Republic relates that recently a false hearted married man in Detroit, attempted to elope from his lawful spouse .with another woman to Canada. The guilty couple crossed the river in one steamer, while the injured, but spunkv wife, pursued them in another; and just as the train was leaving W indsor the latter sprung upon the rear car and ran through the coaches until she found the run away couple, quietly seated side by side. She up braided the man for running away from his law tally wedded wife, and insisted that he should leave the cars and return with her. This the husband stoutly refused to do, when the wife appealed to the conductor, and produced the necessary vouch ers of her identity. The conductor, with much good sense, decided that a woman was entitled to her husband, and informed the man that he would be uuder the necessity of delivering him over to the custody ot his better half. By this time the passengers had gathered around and the scene became exceedingly ludicrous. The man declared that he would hot leave his dul cinea, and she persisted in retaining him. Tl.e tears and entreaties of the wife were too much for the sympathetic conductor ; he pulled the check string. stopped the train, ejected the husband from the cars, and delivered him to his wife, several passengers holding on to the other woman, who made the most desperate endeavors to follow’. The man tried hard to get on the cars after they were in motion, but was unable to do so, inconsequence of the tight grasp of the wife on his coat tail. The last that was seen of the pair, they were rolling down the bank, closely locked in each other's em brace. The frail fair one, who was the cause of the trouble, was carried out of the reach of her tompamon for a tune, at l#a»t. A Physiological Curiosity. Many of our readers w ill remember a series of experiments, published bv Dr. Beaumont of the Enited Suites army, almost twenty years ago on the physiology of digestion, in which he was ’aid ed materially by a person named St. Martin a Canadian voyayer. This man had been wounded it wdl be remembered, by the accidental discharge iota gun loaded with buckshot, one of which en I term H t fll ‘ lung from behind, traversed it and emerged at the stomach, leaving an opening W hich could never be united again, and through which Dr. Beaumont was enabled to witness tt.- wdiole process of digestion, and to make the series of experiments with which his name is honorablv connected. This opening made by the bullet was about three-fourths ot an inch in diameter, and the sto mach was torn by the lead in such a manner lhat healing by natural or artificial process was impos sible. 1 Dr. Beaumont tried to effect a cure bv keeping St Martin without lood ior two days, hut w ithout toe desired effect. The gastric juice secreted bv , the mucous membrane of the stomach would not ! allow the reunion of the torn walls of that organ. The consequence has been natural—u fistula or j opening from the stomach—so that if ,St. Martin \ does not keep a compress to the aperture in drink- ! ) ing water or swallowing anything else, the whole 1 contents of the stomach wifi pass out through that opening. Through this opening comes out a small i part of the stomach, i, *•., the inner coat, which shows its different appearances—thick or swollen when under the work of digestion, and thinner ! when the digestion is over. J The same St. Martin having been lost sight of j by the scientific w'orld, after nearly a quarter of a ; j century has suddenly turned up again as a sub ject for digestive experiments. He is now in this city, on his way to Europe, under the auspices of! Dr. Bunting, of Montreal, who proposes to extend i more minutely the series of experiments so sue- j cessfullv commenced by Dr. Beaumont, and also' ; to enable the sarans of the old world to witness the experiments. Mr. St. Martin is at present « j little upwards of fifty years of age, of a spare frame, hut apparently capable of considerable en- I durace. He is in excellent bodily health, and has j j much vivacity of manner. His early life was spent upon the frontiers, and since leaving the j employ of Dr. Beaumont, he has married and re sided at Montreal. The opening in the stomach : has had no injurious effect upon his health, nor j I has it prevented him from pursuing active and se vere labors. Indeed, it is possible that his daily j i knowledge of the effect of food upon the stomach j ! may have prevented him from abusing this im portant organ for the gratification of monetary | < taste. Ileis a man of simple tastes in his diet, ' i and drinks, it is said, no ardent spirits. I i On Saturday afternoon a meeting of several ; emiuent physicians of the city was held at the ■ New York Hospital, for the purpose of being in troduced to Dr. Bunting and his celebrated patient, | mid of witnessing some of his experiments. Among those present were Dr. Van Bttren, Dr. Markoe, ; Dr. Buckley, Dr. Griscom, Dr. Cook, Dr. Vander voort, of the Hospital, Dr. Isaacs and Dr. Elliot, j the Medical College, Dr. Derby, Dr. Buck, Dr Wood and others. The first experiment performed was that of m i treducing the thermometer into the stomach j through the opening, from which its temperature j was ascertained to be 101 Fahrenheit. Dr. Bunt- I ing next introduced into the stomach the gum elas j tic catheter, and extracted nearly an ounce and a | half of gastric juice, which was presented to Dr. Griscom, and examined by him and others, as to its | taste and other properties. The third experiment j consisted in causing the patient to drink two tum- I biers of water, which was immediately afterwards poured out tlu'ough the orifice into a basin held bv Dr. Bunting. The experiments being concluded, various questions were propounded to Dr. Bunting in regard to the time consumed in the digestion <3 various foods. Iu reply, he observed that the car rot would consume between tive and six hours, j while rare roast beef would thoroughly digest in ■ an hour and a halt. Melted butter would not di gest at all, but float about in the stomach. Lob ster was comparatively easy of digestion. Upon the application of the gastric juice to a piece of purple tissue paper, the color at once faded. In | relation to the patient’s health, L>r. Bunting ob served that it had 'been uniformly excellent, hav ing, since his recovery from the first effects of the wound, supported a large family by his daily labor. These experiments do not differ materially from i those made by Dr. Beaumont. The latter ascer tained the differences betweeu natural and artili- ! rial digestion by a very simple and beautiful ex periment. He took from the empty stomach, at an earlv hour in the morning, two ounces of gastric juice, which he divided into two equal parts and placed iu separate vials, in each of which tie placed a i given quantity of roast beef. The one was placed j in a sand bath at ninety-nine degress, and the oth- j er in the open air at thirty-nine degrees. He like wise put the same quantity of meat into a like por tion of clear water, and intermixed a similar nor tion with gastric juice, previously extracted, of the temperature of the air. The meat in the fresh gastric juice, placed iu the : warm bath, proceeded towards digestion ns if con tained in the stomach, and was Anally wholly di gested by the addition of a further quantity of gastric juice. That contained in the water was simply macerated, and that in the gastric juice having a low temperature was affected but slightly, j The series of experiments institute' l by Dr. Beaumont, to ascertain the time required to digest various articles of food, are familiar to the medical and scientific men. Boiled rice was found to re quire ouly one hour to digest, and pork five hours, ’ these two being the extremes. These experiments also, as a general rule, con firmed the opiuion previously entertained, that farinaceous vegetables are more easily digested ■ than succulent, and wild game, and the meat of j full grown animals, than those which are young. Another very important law of digestion devel oped was, that fluids, like soups anil broths, re quire to have their nutricious particles converted into a solid substance before they can be acted up on by the gastric juice; the consequence is, that all such aliments are less adapted for weak stomachs than more solid food. Occasionally St. Martin’s temper, although usually placid, became violently ruffled. The effect upon the digestive process was j instantaneous and decided. Digestion proceeded, but instead of the formation of healthy chyme, the stomach contained a thin, gruel-like substance, ' much tinged with bile, which under ordinary cir cumstauces is not to be found within it. The ease of St. Martin is altogether a peculiar one, the like, singularly enough, not being found on record. It is at the same time one of marked j interest, not only on account of what lias already ; been contributed by it to our knowledge of Jiges tion, but what we may hereafter reasonably expect • from it. It is worthy of remark that St. Martin’s life has been a regular one, and that, consequently, the ex periments made in advanced years are as valuable j as those prosecuted in his youth. New York Post. I From the Daily Examine* . Mr. Fillmore! How he is to be itun. We believe it was the Savannah Republican that first started the game in the South to run Mr. Fill . more, as Millard Fill more, for the Presidency, and not as the Know Nothing candidate for that office. In other words, to unhitch him from the car of Know Nothingisut ; to divest him of all the har ness placed on his shoulders by the “secret Order,” in the shape of oaths to proscribe men because of ; their place of birth or on account of their reli gion ; and to run him outside of his nomination because of the odium which attaches itself to his party. Now, if this is not a most nrrant'piece of lmm buggerv, then we wilt give up that Barnum never did humbug the people—that his Joire Heath , and his Mermaid were just what he represented the flesh of one and the tish of the other to be, and that there was no guile in him ! It is as utterly impossible to present Millard Fillmore to the peo ple of Georgia, as a candidate for President of the United States, and to root from their minds his connection with Northern Know Nothings, us it would to make them believe that Henry Clay was not a Whig, or that Andrew Jackson" was not a Democrat. Why Millard Fillmore is now the very embodiment: of Know Nothmgism. Ho is the chief around whom Northern Know Nothings are to rally, and Donelson is his lieutenant. J’rav, in ttiis new arrangement, what is to become of the latter? Is he to be dropped by these self-styled “conservative Whigs,” of Boston, and of Georgia? We sav of Boston, too, because although the Re publican starts the idea, South, yet the Boston it wrier was in advance of it. What, then, we re peat, will they do with Donelson ? But this is not all. It is proposed to “ drop all platforms,” they being neither “ evidences of pre sent opinions, nor of future bona fide intentions, but simple promises held to Hie ear, during the struggle for power, only to be broken to the hope when the end is attained." Does not Mr. Fillmore, we ask, stand upon s platform -a partv platform ; a platform of princi ples ; the platform of the falsely styled American partv. He does, and every voter in Georgia knows it. There is no mantle with which he can be cov ered that will hide the deformity of his position from’ the people. He has already the nomination of the Know Nothings, and as a Know Nothing will his claims be discussed in every mili tia district iu our State. We know well that this i will be mortifving to many a good W big, but there is no help for it. When Millard Fillmon* forge* > ful of the honors that had been heaped uoou him 1 bv the American people; forgetful of the high po ; si tion which he bad occupied as the Chief Magis ? trate of this Union; connected himself with the ; “ secret order," he forfeited tlie esteem and coufi I deuce pf every right thinking southern Whig - and by no trick or device can one in ten thousand f of them be induced to support him. As for th< r yecious device to which we bare referred, it wil I aecriv* nobodv. From the Savannah Republican, May S. Masonic Convocation. A Convocation of the Masonic Fraternity of this city was held at Solomon’s Lodge Room, on the j evening of the 7th iust, A Master Mason 3 Lodge wu.-, opened in due and ancient form. W. M. Turner, in the Chair, stated the object of the meeting, whereupon P. G. M. Lro. Phillip T. Schley addressed the brethren in a j feeling tribute to the worth and virtues of our de ceased brother, Most Worthy Grand Master Wil liam f Dawson—closing with offering a motion that a commtttee be appointed, to consist of the Master and \\ ardens of the several Lodges, to draft suitable resolutions. This motion being carried, the committee re tired, and after consultation, presented the follow tug preamble and resolutions : \V hkreas, in the workings of His all-wise Pro vidence, it has pleasoil Almighty God to take unto Bimselt our late Most Worthy Grand Master, Bro. V 'N* aui C. Dawson, by which afflicting dispensa tion our order has been deprived of one of its brightest jewels and most consistent and zealous members, while the State has lost an honest states- man : I And Whereas, it is proper that we should ex j press the depth of our feelings at this calamity to the Masonic Fraternity, a.-, well for the purpose of evincing our respect to the dead, as to point the living to his example as a pattern for their emula j tion— 1. Be it Resolved, by the Masonic Fraternity of the city of Savannah, in convocation assembled, that the upright walk of our deceased brother, Grand Master Win. C. Dawson, in a path which i led him from the humble position of an entered apprentice in his Lodge, to the highest honor which Masonry can confer, commends itself at all times to j our highest admiration, ami that we hold hint up to the living as a worthy example of those true fel lows and brothers, who have done all things well, | are gone before them to their reward. 2. Resolved, That the superior Masonic attain ments, high order of talents, and great moral worth ,i of our deceased brother, fitted him peculiarly for the honorable position which he filled with so much . satisfaction to the fraternity ; and that the consum- i ination of his life, in which the Graud Architect of ; the Universe has removed him, a perfect ashlar, to ! fill his part in that house not made with hands, I eternal in the Heavens, has left us mourners for a | loss which will uot soon he replaced. 8. Resolved, That we sincerely sympathize with ] the bereaved family of our deceased brother, and j tender them our heartfelt condolement in this their hour of affliction. 4. Resolved, That the Masonic Fraterity of this city will wear the customary badges of mourning in all their processions until the next regular com- 1 munication of the Grand Lodge of Georgia, and that the jewels and furniture of the different Lodges ■ be clothed in mourning during the same time. - j 5. Resolved , That a copy of these resolutions be , ; sent to the editor of the Masonic Signet and Jour : oat, and to eacli of the daily papers of this citv, for . publication, and be transmitted to the family of - the deceased; and that each of the Lodges of this . , city he requested to spread the same upon their minutes. The above preamble and resolutions were uuan iniously adopted, and the Lodge was closed. R. T. Turner, W. M., Presiding. Fsrd. Xoi.temeir. Secretary. From the Newark: Advertiser. Battle at Rivas—Account from a Filli b lister. The following letter was received bv the last ! steamer from Granada, from Henry Bartow, 2d Sergeant of Company C, 2d Rifles, Walker’s ar- | my, formerly of Newark, who was in Walker’s battles, and who, it will be seen speaks very highly j of the country: Granada, April 4th, 1856. I * * *■ l have now been absent from home ! two months, and have been as busy as one could possibly be. The company I am attached to, as soon as we landed in this country, was immediate ly ordered to march against Costa Rica. We ac complished the march in seven days, and on the eighth got defeated, and came back to Virgin Bav | naked and half-starved, with a loss of eighteen men. f never saw a more beautiful country in my life. There are thousands of acres of land that require very little done to them to make a lit ing. If a man works half of his time, as he would in the States, he might sit down iu rest and plenty the other half, if the country remained in peace. How ever, the only enemy is the Costa Ricans. Intelligence was received on the 7ih of April that the enemy was in Rivas, some sixty miles dis tant. We immediately marched our available forces which could be spared from post of duty against them, and met them on the morning of the j 11th. We had four hundred Americans, or Demo crats, and one hundred natives. The enemy was well fortified within the city, with two thousand strong, all told. We fought for sixteen hours and I drove them out of the place, they losing in the eii- j gageineut ,six hundred men, besides wounded ! and missing. At 12 o’clock we retreated, owing i to our want of provisions and ammunition, as we j had verv few caps and cartridges, and had been without food or water fora day and night. General Walker commanded in person and showed a great deal of braven and coolness, and as to the result, I felt confident we should come off victorious. We had thirty men killed andthir | ty wounded, and brought the wounded hack to I Grenada on horses anil mules. The country between Granada and Rivas is t beautiful and level, and as pretty orange atni ba nana or plantain groves as ever the world pro duced, are found here. A titan with any enter- ‘ : prise could soon make himself comfortable for j life, as soon as peace is proclaimed which time ; is not far distant, if Fttcle Sam puis a stop to : England, who is using all the means in her power i as u nation to exterminate us. Wo know this is so, for we have taken their spies with documents i to that effect. They have been stripped of their pa pers and hung or shot. The Costa Ricans have killed all the American j citizens in Virgin Bay and San Juan del Stir The latter place is on the line of the Transit Compa- : ny’s route over the Isthmus. They have hunted ’ down their houses and consumed their bodies. What Uncle Sam will say to this, is more than 1 can tell. We expect to start there to protect those I who come on the next steamer, and then, 1 expect, j we shall have another brush with them, llow the government of the United States can stand by and : see her citizens rooly massacred men who have no lot or part with Walker, or what is styled filli busters is a strange matter, fdo not consider myself a fillibuster. 1 think the cause is just. Any one who comes to Nicaragua will be received with open arms. Frank Ball, well known in the cities of the north eru and eastern States as the principal mesmeric 1 subject of Lerov Sunderland at lectures which he i * gave in 1346, 1847 anil 1848, has commenced pub ; fishing a series of papers entitled “The Adventures j and Revelations of Frank A. Ball, as a “Mesmeric : Subject.” Sunderland and he made moreconverts to mesmerism than were made by any other ten j persons in that time. lie now states that he never j was in the mesmeric .sleep, hut did all the “experi ; meats by conclusion ;" and he explains how it was done, and appeals to a number of witness to con firm the truth of what he says. He makes affida vit to the truth of his relations, and his first paper is confirmed in many of its most material points by a respectable gentleman now residing in New York. “ Where are vor Goixo?”—An anecdote is told ot Finney, “the revivalist,” and a Canal boatman, I to the following effect: He was holding forth in Rochester, and in walk ’ iug along the canal one day, came across a boat- j ■ man who was swearing furiously. Marching up, j he confronted him, and abruptly asked . “ Sir, do you know where you are going?” The unsuspecting man innocently replied that he was going up the canal on the boat Johnny ; . ! Sands. , ; “No, sir, you are not,” continued Finney, “you I i are going to hell faster titan a canal boat cun con t rev you.” < The boatman looked at him in astonishment for , a minute, and then returned the question : “Sir, do you know where you are going?” “ I expect to go to heaven.” ; “ No, sir, you are going into that canal!” Aud i suiting the action to the word, took Finney in his , arms and tossed him into the nmrkey waters, 1 where lie would have drowned had not the boat men relented and fished him out. * BLINDS, DOORS AND SASH GLAZED, AE AI)E of Northern White Pine—strong, light : ITJ. and cheap.

He prefers to let others speak ils praise, and j therefore introduces the following certificates, from : two planters, well and favorably known in the i community in which they reside. He might m | troduce many others, but the Plow Stock will speak for itself whenever examined. JAMES B. MELL. Riceboro’, Liberty county, Ga. This is to certify that 1 have, with my own hands, thoroughly tested the newly invented Plow Stock of James B. Mel!, Esq. In point of .simplicity and ! ; perfection, I have never seen or used its equal. In ! it is combined every thing that I could wish in a I Plow Stock, and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest and the best that has ever been offered to the pub : lie. I speak from having used it with mr own ; hands. 1 was raised to follow the plow, and think j that i know how one ought to run. 1 would cheer fully thank any one, who will thoroughly try it, to point out to me one single fault in ir. It is easier upon the horse and the plowman than any that I have ever used. The principle upon which you regulate ttie depth ; of the Plow is so simple, and yet so perfect, as to commend itself to any one; and the Stock is adapt ed to any kind of Plow Hoe. It is, moreover, just ;as light as any could desire it to be. 1 would re commend to any and all, if they wish the best and cheapest Plow Stock, without hesitation to get Mr James B. Mell’s. ]). W. Wilson. Penfield, Ga., April 15, 1856. In company with several others, I, this day, wit nessed the trial of Mr. James B. Mell’s Plow Stock, by Mr. D. \\ . \Y 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 my farm for several months, and every day serves to confirm me in the opinion of the superiority of Mr. Mell’s Plow Stock t»> all others now iu use.

THIS article compare favora- y. bly with any of like character 'jEs in the known world. /&■ :?% y I find that by putting it in the form TBjSSfN of a Soap it gives it a decided ad van jlKflli tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment, or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir tues from being impaired by age or climate, and renders it very convenient for use. Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara tion injurious to the patient. This article, there fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers, Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles, Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore Byes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac., extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby , preventing premature baldness. It is also one of the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses j extract tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a superior dentrifice to the teeth. ForNhaving soap, it forms a rich lather, softening the heard, and j ouring such sores as may be on the face. In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and particular old sores, this soap has proved a balm indeed, by its wonderful healing powers. I can procure certificates innumerable were it necessary, but believing that a single cake is only requisite to prove its efficacy as above .stated, anil wishing to avoid everything like humbuggery, I leave it to those who will give it 11 fair trial, not doubting they will then declare this to be the ne 1 plus ultra of the age in the healing art.

It allays the most intense pains in a few minutes, restores the synovial fluid or joint water, and thus cures stiff joints; it penetrates the flesh to tht; bone, relaxes contracted cords, cures rheu- j mat ism and palsied limbs of twenty years’ stand- I ing; also, tumors, swelled neck, enlargement of the glands, and is the best medicine for ailments of cattle ever discovered, curing sweeny, spavins, splint, and all diseases which require an internal application. Tains of ten years' standing cured by If. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Mr. 11. G. Farrell —Dear Sir : I had been af flicted with the “Sun Pain ” for the last ten vears, and could never get relief except by bleeding; but by the use of H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, applied over the temples about three or four times a day, it was entirely removed, and I have felt nothing of it since. 1 went into the stable one night, to apply it to a horse’s sore leg, and being very lame he stumbled and fell against niv legs, crushing and bruising them so badly that they turned black as my hat, rendering them powerless. 1 applied your Liniment, and was veil enough ina few days to go about again as usual. I also crushed mv finger in a shocking manner, by letting a back log fall upon it; your Liniment soon healed it up though. JOHN 15. M’GEE. ’ 1 LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. 6, 1849. [ Esq. Barker, of .Veto Canton, 111., says :] Mr. 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment has cured some bad cases here, which every other remedy had tailed in ; one was a white swelling and con tracted cords in the leg of a boy twelve years old. ( The leg had withered away, and was so contracted ! that he had no use of it. Three doctors had tried ! their skill upon ii in vain, and he was fast sinking : to the gear-, when the boy’s father was induced to i try 11. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Before the (irst bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store, t and the tirst words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, I c want all that Liniment you have in the store ; tlie j,, one bottle 1 got did my boy more good than all that, j had ever been done before.’’ That bov is now well j c and hearty, and lias tree use of his legs. It is good I for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings. Zook out for Counterfeits ! J The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called \Y. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan- r gerous of all the counterfeits, because bis having 1 the name of Farrell, many will buv it in good faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error when the spurious mixture lias wrought its evil \ effects.

Cures have been sought after iu i change of physician, change of medicine, change . i of diet, change of locality and climate, change of ! occupation and habits, but all to little or no pur j pose; the disease continues, and the sufferer after | years of unrequited labor in search of relief, lost to all hope of recovering, sinks into despondency and gh-om which no change of scene or circum stance can relieve. His disease is ever present j before him, and his mind, the theatre of dark an 1 I gloomy thoughts, is continually calling up ghosts | of buried and by gone pleasures, and lie looks for ward to a future where dissatisfaction discontent ( misery and suffering are most gloomi’iv and pro’ j tninently portrayed ; irascible, fretful,' distrustful j even of lus nearest and best friends, he drags out an existence, not only an incumbrance to himself i but burdensome to his friends, his acquaintances’ and his own family. 1 To all such I would recommend attention to the remedy known ns “BLISS’S DYSPEPTIC RE j MEDY”—a remedy, new, very simple in its con" position, hut from the manner of its combination ! possessing curative properties surpassing any and’ i every preparation known that has ever vat been | prepared for the cure of Dyspepsia. It' is safe I speedy and effectual, and may be relied upon with’ 1 every confidence, for it will not fail even under the | most discouraging circumstances, or with the most ! stubborn case, no matter of how long standing I providing the patient is willing not only to follow I directions as regards taking the medicine, butoth ! er directions accompanying. The proprietor is well aware thut the same pro- S mises have been and are being made through a! i most every print m the country, as regards other preparations of like character,'and that by adver using and heralding its virtues to the public be i only following in the beaten track of those ’ w ij o have gone before him, and who have promised and assured the same perfect and speedy cures • vet as it seems the only course left to be pursued he mu«r adopt it -and in doing so, he is fully conscious that i whatever he may say of its virtues,'it will bv ms i "J, be regarded as the “old storv” manufactured for the purpose of extracting money from the pockets of victims of disease, who would in tlie hope of finding relief, part with their last dime He would, however, ask for a suspension of opin ion until a SINGLE package has been tried bv them- I selves or their friend, and then if he has held out inducements tor its purchase, or made promises as regards its curative properties that are not made good by tlie preparation, he then is willing that it should be condemned. The remedy is no new preparation with the pro- I prietor—but a well tried prescription that he ha* j used in his private practice for ten years, and ul : ways with the happiest results. In the using of it a cure may not only be expected, but an immediate abatement of symptoms may be looked for within a day or two. To all suffering from Dyspepsia, one trial is re commended, and it that trial is made in good faith in accordance with directions, the invalid mav have every hope of recovery.
