The vast iraet of country which forms the south- rtion of the Eastern hemisphere is still, to a -jl extent, the “unknown land.” In the geo ' .[ihii-al studies of our school days, it has, here been assigned hut a small space, both teach . and pupil being disposed to leave it to those , tastes would incline them to linger amid its ■?:iiig sands, its dark jungles ami its barbarous ■pie. We read of its classic, and once ■ ii rivers, its immense deserts, its fierce tigers, . ,ike<l savages, and imagine that we have learn ed’Africa alt that is worth knowing. Thanks the achievements of the colonization cause, i: been discovered that the interior of Africa wains other objects of interest than wild beasts ud unclad negroes. Until recently it was aup _,sed that only those who dwelt upon the coasts anything of civilization, intelligence and the life, and that the inhabitants of nie interi -irere ignorant, rude and superstitious. This apression is found to be wholly unfounded. The imlation of Central Africa proves, as research ceeds, to be, not only more numerous, but in . rv respect much superior to that on the coast, ui the superiority characterises also the physical : itures of the region. Theclimateismoreagrec and better adapted to agriculture and trade. u » population, it is stated by a recent visitor of «t country that the city of Ulorin is second in •re only to the great metropolis, London. The kingdoms of Yoruba, N’uti, Gamburd, House and :gu. through which flows the mighty and 111a ■•-tie Nile, swarm with people, and can boast of ; t-ir towns and cities, containing tens and huu iredsnf thousands. Another popular tract to the List, called Ejesha, has also large cities, and is ginning to attract attention. \\ v e have the ap stsrauce and face of the country described in the Mowing language, by one who speaks as an eye fitness. "Those who have visited the prarie lands of Tf>vas have seen something similar. Frequently : • eye has a sweep for miles over ii country •nose p iling grandeur, heightened by imposing ■ ierv of glen, hill top and mountain, and cov ered with a carpet of green, can scarcely be sur . jssed. There are no heavy forests, except the ■iirts of branches or rivers’ And then the tim •r is different from anything you have ever seen. 'is quite tall, differing in this respect from the ■'.anted shrubby growth of the prairie. These munock lands, high and dry, tire of the verv are order. Swampy and marshy places are very seldom seen.” And the people are by no means b t rbarians. Hies of acres are everywhere in a state of wondcr : A cultivation, growing corn, cotton, yams, pota 4. peas, Ac. Tlieir markets abound with an al st endless variety of articles. “ Every morning,” a writer, speaking of the city of ljaye with its ■'o inhabitants, “ from the six gates of ljaye go it streams of living beings, perhaps ten thousand ■ iple, or more, to work their farms, andreturnin he evening with the profits of their day’s laboron ■heir heads. For four or six miles, from three ■'clock until night, the roads are almost thronged with people on their return home. Yearly everv mat), woman aud child has a load of some kind, either to be carried home or to the market. I "mid suppose that at least one thousand bushels »f corn, nr more, are brought into town on the head every day." And here are to be found wea tvrs, tailors, barbers, blacksmiths, shoe and sad dle makers, aud even ingenious specimens of art. 1 cannot tell you,” says the same writer, “a tenth t their ingenuity. The most superior saddle stir tup 1 ever met with is to be found here. The na : ire of the government, absolute tyranny, is incom patible with any marked advance of the people to ardi civilization. Their dexterity is more clear eviuced, perhaps, iu trading than anything else. They are a wonderful people. Africa is a second Asia." The central African, we learn, is graceful ■ r cloihed from head to foot in turban trowsers.and flea sandals. “He knows much more of the >r!d as it is, and of its past history, than you ■aid well believe ; his hands and feet are often a ■mall and elegantly formed as those of any white ■ in ; his noseis ‘not confounded with his cheeks,' a prominent and straight ; his lips are thin, his bio is full, his facia! angle good, and if you en '■r inter into conversation with him, you will soon End that God has endowed him with intellect of mean order. All this could hardly be believed some if 1 should aver it, but the people are ■re, and may be seen by any one who will come • iere they are.” Truly here is a great held for ' e missionary aud the Christian philanthropist. Baltimore American. E>to Perpetua. Founded upon the eternal principles of truth ' and justice, with the Constitution for its guide, the : prosperity and perpetuity of the Union for its aim, , the Democratic party has so far retained its integ- | rity unspotted and its power unbroken. It is now, as it was in the days of old, the friend of civil and religious freedom, the friend of the people, and the advocate of the great and simple truths which 'he Constitution imbodies. Prejudiced against no section of our common country—pledged to the support of no measure that does not insure equal and exact justice to all—enlisted, not in the cause f men, but in defence of principles—it will enter the coming contest with the same consciousness of the final triumph of its cause which cheered it in t inner struggles—the consciousness that it is the cause of truth and justice. With the Constitution j it arose, with the Constitution it has lived, and to- ; gether with the Constitution it will die. The one cannot survive the other. Without the Constitu tion, the Democratic party would be broken up ; I without the Democratic party, the Constitution i would become in a day the foot-ball of fanatism. j lue friend of the one may well say of the other — | f*rpetita !—Washington Union. Tsekexdops Freshet. — On Monday night and 1 aesJav morning last, occurred one of the most ‘ ■-■tniotire freshets in this country within our re- I collection. The rain commenced falling early on Sunday morning. All day Monday it continued to :iu >n moderate showers until night set in, when *’ seemed that the floodgates of Heaven were opened, and it poured in torrents the night long, accompanied with lightning and thunder; but with very little if any wind. By Tuesday morn- | I; ig, the rivulets and smaller water courses were up and far out of their banks. The two Bigbies ■md Lick Creek. West of Columbia, are said to have >cen higher, perhaps, than ever before known. An | immense deal of damage was done upon and along Uie borders of those streams. We have heard of not less than four bridges upon them having been ''ashed off. The Methodist Church, a frame 1 adding, in the \\ ebster neighborhood, and near '■ ie Dike leading from Columbia to Hampshire, was lifted up and swung round from its foundu u. Ail the farms lying along the streams above Coken ot have been stripped of their feuciug, and immense quantities of rails been swept off entire- 1 iy out of reach. Some have been so much dam aged as to make it very doubtful whether thev will not have to give up their crops. The rains seemed to be general, and we should not be sur prised to hear of damage to farmers in all sec tions of Maury count) - . I'mce writing the above, we understand that every bridge and every mill on Fountain Creek, tn>m head to mouth, have been carried off by this treshet. We have not time to enter fully into the particulars of the great damage done by it in this tftniaty. —Columbia Mirror, Congressional. THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION. Washington, May lo.—The Senate did not sit 1 to-dav. House. — Mr. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, made a i long personal explanation in support of the posi tion he took ott the slavery question during the j contest, and whilst he was a candidate for the speakership at the commencement of the session and also defined the position he held now, and that | heretofore held by him on that question. ! \ lr - Tl>lld < of Pennsylvania, replied to a portion j of his colleague’s remarks, and explained that he i baf * voted for him when a candidate for Speaker ; under the supposition that he was an anti-Nebras- I ka man, as he represented an anti-Nebraska dis trict, and his record gave everv assurance of the fact. As soon, however, as the gentleman explain- I ea his position he had withdrawn his support from Mr Jones, of Pennsylvania, gave notice that he would reply at length to the remarks of his col ! .n' le Stiller as soon as thev appeared in : print. J 11 i Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, interrogated Mr. Ful ! ler as to various inconsistencies in his record and ! speech, which the latter gentleman attempted to explain ; but before having had a full opportunitv | to do so, 1 r Mr. Lindley, of Missouri, moved that the House ! adjourn; which motion was negatived. NEW MEXICO CONTESTED ELECTION CASE. j The House then resumed the consideration of : the motion of Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, to recon sider the vote by which the resolution authorizing i the parties in the New Mexico contested election case to appear before the House and defend their respective claims, either in person or by counsel I was rejected. Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, moved the previous ques tion ; which was seconded, and main question was j ordered to be put. Mr. Carlile, of Virginia, moved to lay the mo tion to reconsider on the table, which was agreed to—ayes <is, nays 54. The report of the committee in the case was then laid upon the table,and ordered to he printed. And then, at three o’clock, ihe House adjourned. Effect of the Late Flood. The disasters caused by the late Hoods in the counties South of us can hardly he exaggerated. In Giles county, especially, the damage caused is immense, and altogether unprecedented. Rich land Creek and its tributaries rose several feet higher than was ever before known, sweeping to destruction stock of all kinds, particularly hogs, cattle and sheep, whilst the stripping plantations of rails and farm buildings appear to he minor ca lamities. One man lost two hundred head of sheep, and the injury caused by the washing awav of the soil can be hardly estimated. Nearly everv small bridge on the turnpike from Columbia to Elkton has been carried away, the two bridges over Richland Creek barely escaping. It is un derstood that numbers of mills have been destrm - ed. Kilt the most melancholy result occurred at Lynn ville, situated on the Turnpike road, about fourteen miles North of Pulaski. Lynn creek, running through the town, rose to such a height on Tuesday morning, and so sudden ly* as to destroy almost without warning a house occupied by a man named Richardson, situated in the lower part of the village, within some twenti feet of the main load. The building was crushed in a few moments, the father and mother finding i themselves with an infant drifting down the angry I torrent, two other children having perished in bed , at the time the house fell. After Heating with the ] wreck about three-quarters of a mile, the whole family lodged against a tree, the father severely '■ injured, the three children dead, and the mother ! so jammed amongst the drift, as with the best of- i torts of tile husband, barely able to keep her head above the roaring waters. In this condition they were discovered a little j alter daylight, and heroically rescued by a voiuc mail named Isaac Kearden, who swam his horse l<> : the spot, declaring his intention to “save them or perish in the attempt.” Others finally aided him in the generous endeavor. Such noble conduct needs no eulogy, it is an honor to human nature. It is reported that an overseer and a negro man have perished in the same neighborhood. Alto gether, the visitation has no parallel in the history of that region since its settlement.— Banner. Post Otiice Addresses. The blunders of tiie Post Office are frequently enough occurring, but the Post Otiice sometimes gets the benefit of blunders of which it was never guilty. Ihe Dead Letter Otiice at Washington is not tilled altogether by the carelessness "of the subordinates of the Post Master General. The carelessness of those who put matter in the mail has almost as much to do with it. If a letter is misdirected, the Post Otiice is not going to hunt up the proper direction, and how often letters are sent on wild goose chases by persons who utter grievous complaints about it afterwards, the clerks in this department of Uncle Sam’s business only know. The story of the Irishman who thought the address to liis “brother in Amerikv,” suffi ciently specific, is no fable. Blunders quite as un reasonable are continually repeated. One of the commonest of them is to "write illegibly, or entire ly omit in the address the name ot the State. In the latter case, like the gender of a verb with two nominatives agreeing with the most worthy, the letter is generally, but not always, presumed to belong to the Slate in which it is mailed; in the former, it may travel abont till it is delivered up to the flames in Washington. To show the necessity of the most explicit direction of matter which is to be entrusted to the mail, a glance at a list of the Post Offices in the United States, and the numbers of the same name, will be sufficient. Taking our illustrations from such as are found in our owu State of South Carolina, and it will be seen that: There are 12 Charlestons; in Columbias; the same number of Hamburg*; 10 Camdens, 20 Greenville*; 22 Chesters; 12 Anderson* ; 0 Y’ork - villes, 21 Mount Pleasants; PA Manchester*; 12 Midways; 13 LaG ranges ; 13 Rockvilles; 10 Mil l villes; 8 Summervilles ; 27 Centrevilles; 10 Baths; 12 Belmonts; 11 Ilrownsvilles; 13 Rockvilles, anil 7 Ridgevilles. There are 4 Snow Creeks ; the same number of North Creeks and Buck Creeks ; 12 Cedar Creeks ; 11 Big Creeks; 3 \\ illow Creeks; the same num ber of Mountain Creeks and Martins Creeks; 2 Fowlers Creek, and the same number of Sleetn Creeks. There are 10 Pleasant Hills; 0 Cottage Hills; ,7 Hickory Hills; 7 Liberty Hills; 4 Locust Hills; 5 Sugar Hills, and 3 Sand’Hills. There are 4 Chesnut Groves ; 10 Spring Groves ; S Mill Groves, and 3 Holly Groves. There are fourteen Edens; - Antiocks; 11 He bron*; 13 Mount Carmel* ; 9 Shllos ;14 Providen ces; 20 Lebanons, and 16 Bethels. There are 19 Buena Vistas; 6 Marengos; 10 Montereys ; 3 Cherebuscos ; 13 Spartas; 11 Limas, and 10 Monticellos. There is nothing in the peculiarity of the name, which will confine it to a single State; for theto are 9 Calhouns ; 3 McCounellsvilles ; 3 Travellers’ Rests; 4 Pmckileysvilies ; 3 Pea Ridges, and 5 j Reheboths. There is a Shop Spring in Arkansas, as well as in Newberry; a Poverty Hill in Georgia, I as well as in Edgefield ; an Oconee Station in Illi nois, as well as in Pickens; a Pocataligo in Vir -1 ginia, as well as in Beaufort ; a Fensterville, in : Pennsylvania, us well as in Fairfield; aUentsville, i in Florida, as well as in Abbeville, and a Gum ! Swamp in Georgia, as well as in Marion. ; The conclusion is that it is better to write the full address of every letter in a very plain hand. Charleston Standard. Senator Benjamin - . —The Cincinnati Enquirer speaks of the late speech of this gentleman as follows: “An Accession. —Senator Benjamin, of Louisiana, has declared his full and cordial adherence to the Democratic party. His speech in the Senate on the Kansas question was one of the ablest, deliver ed on the subject. “We doubt if there ts an abler or more accom plished man for his age in the Union than this gentleman. Though barely forty, he has long since attained the foremost rank as one of the ablest lawyers in the United States. Ilis profes sional practice at this time is equal, if not great er, than that of any lawyer in the country. His versatility is remarkable! With learning and ac complishments i f the highest order he unites the most fascinutingi fluency and elegance as a speaker. He is equally a master of details, of the practical duties of his profession, and of the higher range of logic and eloquence. His knowledge embraces almost every department, and his tact, activity and quickness are equal to his erudition.” T RIB PTE TO THE I.ATE GeOROE M. TROUP.—The Chatham Artillery, under command of Captain Ward, paraded yesterday under circumstances pe culiarly solemn, their appearance being in pursu ance oii' a resolution setting apart a day for appro priate testimonials of respect for the late Geo. M. Troup, who was an honorary member of the corps. The ranks were full, and in addition to the regular members, a large number of our oldest and wor thiest citizens, whose names are enrolled as hono r iry members, participated in the ceremonies of the occasion. These latter bore along with them the old brass field-piece tlat was presented to the company by General Washington. The ranks being formed, the corps proceeded to the Park, where minute guns, to the number of seventv-six, were fired in honor of the illustrious dead.— . Sir. Hep., May 13. A cratocs reason for committing suicide.— -Mr. Elias Workman, living in Holmes county, Ohio, committed suicide on Sunday morning last by hanging himself with a bridle. It is saia he had lately been elected assessor of the township, and , given a heavy bond. Fearing he was not lit for the oflice, and to avoid the mortification of being laughed at, lie rose in the morning at four o’clock, j an< * " - ent to the barn and hanged himself. The l reshet.— I The recent freshet has doubtless injured the corn and cotton to a considerable ex tent. It is said that in many fields and places half j 'in. seec *. an d growing crop has been washed up. the late rains seem to have been general, as all the rivers from which we have heard, are now at a nigh .stage of water. The Cumberland is still rising here. Should it continue to do so until the mountain rise reaches this point, such an inundation will take place as has not been known for years. The bottoms or fiats about the city are, wo are informed, already from four to six feet under water. The Sulphur Spring, to use the expression of a waggish friend, is several feet “in the miz.” AasheiUe Gazette, Mnj 0. Instinct. Mr. Putnam, of the Adams’ Express Co., some eighteen or twenty months since, brought to Li is residence on‘Floyd and Main streets, two tine partridges. These he kept and fed attentively until last spring—one year ago— when they were taken to the country and set free, about two miles from Middletown and ten miles from the city. During the intensely cold weather of the past winter these birds returned to the city and sought the residence of their former kind pro tector. One bleak wintry day Mr. Putnam was astonished by a rapping at his window, and found, upon investigation, the two partridges seeking an entrance- lie instantly recognized them as his old friends by peculiar marks upon their bodies. Os course, he could but take them in and treat them kindly. They are now habitues of his grounds, “circulating” promiscuously among the fowls and making themselves at home within and without doors. We have never, in the course of our reading, met with a more striking instance of the development of instinct. It appears, in deed, beyond belief, that a couple of partridges released from a cage, twelve miles from the place where they were confined, should, after a lapse of nearly two years, return totheir old home—driven there by the pangs of hunger and cold. I/niismUe Courier. California Emigration.— There is said to be quite a tide of emigration, setting from California to the Gadsden territory, attracted by its known mineral resources, and particularly of copper. The developments of this metal, and in almost a pure state, with bituminous coal, are reported as verv extraordinary. Novel Law-suit.— The First Dutch Reformed Church of Jersey City, has sued Mr. Welch, the architect, for $*25,000 damages. They allege that Mr. W. furnished an estimate to build a church for 20,000, but that already, when only half completed, it lias cost $25,000. Hence the suit. Pi-.kmu m of Onk Thousand Dollars.— Mr. John M. Barnard, a large distiller in Boston, offers a premium of one thousand dollars for the “ best essay on the subject of legislative enactments de signed to regulate the manufacture, sale, and use of intoxicating liquors, to be accompanied bv an outline of a law for consideration. Nun Orlkans, May 12.- In the case of the Lnited States m. Ex-Postmaster Kendall, the Texas case was continued at the instance of the United States District Attorney, although the de fence pressed the trial and offered to admit in evi dence the testimony of the absent witnesses* heretofore introduced. Washington, May 12. — In the U. S. Senate to day, Mr. Cass made a speech on Kansas affairs. The House refused to suspend the rules to enable Mr. Clinginaii to introduce liis resolution for the bettor protection of Americans on the Isthmus. The bill for appropriating $330,0i.i0 for keeping open the mouths of the Mississippi was passed. Washington, May 12. Mr. Herbert has been released from custody, having given SIO,OOO bail to appear at the June term of the Criminal Court, to plead to an indictment for manslaughter. COMM ERCIAL Augusta Market, May 13, 1 I*. M. COTTON.—Our market is very inactive, and no disposition exists, on the part of buyers or sellers, to come to terms. While the range of prices are from 9 to 11 cents, we cannot venture upon quota tions for particular classifications. The full rivers in the West will greatly facilitate the forthcoming of the balance of the crop to market, and we may reasonably look for liberal receipts of cotton at New Orleans and Mobile, for some weeks to come, provided the cotton iias not already been received at those ports. The best evidence that there is but little to come, will be in meagre receipt* during the balance of this month. The present depressed condition of the cotton trade, in this country, is measurably in consequence of the receipts in the West being so continuously heavier than was an ticipated, and also from the very slight advance in prices in Europe which followed the declaration of peace. Without waiting for a healthy resumption of trade, which could not have resulted until com mercial confidence and business relations were re stored, the markets iu this country gave wav, and as a necessary result, we may expect the dullness of the markets of the United States reflected back to us from Liverpool in subsequent arrivals. BUSINESS. - -Without activity in business, there have been steady and satisfactory transactions in every department of trade, if we except the cotton market. The large and well selected stocks of groceries, staple and fancy dry goods, hardware and cutlery, ready-made clothing, hats and caps, boots and shoes, leather, harness and saddles, crockery and china ware, furniture, carriages and buggies, and the almost endless assortment of goods offered for sale by our dealers, to consumers and the trade, have attracted more than ordinary attention the past season, and the daily accessions to tlieir stocks, bear ample testimony to the extent of trade enjoyed. DRY GOODS.—Stocks of Dry Goods are in good supply, both in Fancy and Staple articles. The semi-weekly line of steamers from New Y'ork to Charleston and Savannah, gives great facility in receiving supplies for this market, (Goods being frequently received in four and a half days from New Y ink.) and our merchants, by availing them selves of these facilities, are amply provided with the choicest articles of the season. Wo hope our friends from the country, this week, will loose no time in making tlieir selections of Spring Silks, French Muslins, Bareges, Crape Muretz, Bonnots, Mantillas, Embroideries, and the more substantial staples, as they will all be offered at ven* low prices. Our merchants go for the quick penny, rather than the slow sixpence, and from close com petition, they sell at a very small advance on New j Y'ork cost. The tendency of Staple and Heavy i Goods is to advance in price, influenced, no doubt, | by the high price of the raw material and the nd ; vance of Cotton Y'artis and Goods in Manchester, j Augusta Shirtings are now 7 (fts% cents l»v the I live bales ; Osnaburgs of the Richmond and Au j gusta Manufacturing Company, 10 cents; Georgia 1 Stripes, llj>£ cents. HEADY MADE CLOTHING.—The large and seasonable supply of ready-made garments, which are weekly received by our dealers, embracing all the modern and approved styles, have never been more ample than at present, nor offered at more satisfactory prices, it is very doubtful whether similar goods can he bought lower, in any market in the country, than in Augusta. HATS, CAPS, BONNETS & FANCY GOODS, The most fastidious taste can certainly be gratified, by looking through the varied styles and textures in our market, and the low prices which prevail Merchants from the interior almost universally - pre fer to make their purchases in this market, in con sequence of the large stocks of hats, bonnets and fancy goods which can always be found here. HARDWARE, IRON, Ac.—Recent European Circulars report a firm market for Iron and Hard ware, as well as for Tin. In this market, we quote for Swede Iron to 54 for ordinary sizes, and from G to 64 for extras ; Refined, fine English, 4 to 4}; English merchant bars to 4 cents. Tin Plates IC $12.50 and IX $14.25 $ box. Nails 44 to 4; ! 4 for 4d. to God., and for 3d. 5% to fi cents. The stocks are very good, and the spring trade has been active. COFFEE.—The stock of Rio Coffee is large, and we quote llje 1,1 12 for common, prime 12,4 1° 13, Laguavra 13, and Java lfi to 17 cents. SUGAR.—In this article we have no change to notice. Fair New Orleans and Porto Rico 8% to 9Ja; choice Brown 10 to 104 ; Refined 10%, 11,4 and 11;4 for A, B and C ; Crushed 12 cents. MOLASSES.—The stock of both Cuba and New Orleans is rather small, the latter has an upward tendency. Cuba 35 to 36, New Orleans 48 to 55c. RICE.—44 ,0 3 cents. MACKEREL.—No. 3, $7.50; No. 2, $13.00; No. 1, $22.00. RAISINS, bunch, $3.50. SALT.—We hear of none for sale on the wharf. In store it is selling from $1.25 to $1.50, according , to quantity. BAC ON.—We find a good stock of Bacon on the market, with a fair demand. City cured, hog round i cents ; hams and sides 13, and shoulders 11 • for Tennessee meat 10% cents, hog round. There is an ample supply of well cured Western Bacon :on the market, which sells from 2% to 1 1 1; cents • some of this meat is put up in water-tight pack ages. and will keep free from skippers all the season* While the supply of meat is large, there is no pro bability that there will be any material change in prices the present season. CORN.— This commodity is about as low in price in Augusta, as it is likely it can be. We heard of a large sale last week at 55 cents, but the ordinary sales in small lots are made at 60 cents, and at re tail 65 cents. The stock is good. PEAS.—There is not much demand for Peas and we hear of sales at 65 and 70 cents. FLOUR. This article Is very dull of sale, nor is there any market in the country, where it can be shipped to, and any better price obtained. WHEAT.—Red worth $1.25, and White $1.33 to $1.40. FEATHERS.—There are but few packages of fering, and 40 cents the price. BEEVES AND SHOATS.—Good fat Beeves are worth from 6 to 7 cents, and Shoats from 8 to Octs. BANK STOCK.—The stocks of all solvent Banks are in good request. We heard of the sale of Geor gia Railroad, withim the past few days, at par. EXCHANGE. The Banks are drawing on the North at ;4"th premium. UNCURRENT MONEY. —Tennessee and North Carolina, large bills, 2 jd cent, discount; small hills 3 ; Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana and Vir ginia hank bills, 2 $ cent.; Texas and Northern Bank of Mississippi, 10 f) cent.; I.aGrange Bank Bills 5$ cent.

CHARLESTON, May 12. — Cotton. —The trausac- j lions of the day reached upwards of 130(1 bales, at : a range of prices showing an unsettled and decli- ! tiing market, amounting in some instances to a re- I duction of Up'.

TO DYSPEPTICS. —Says the “ Spirit of the Age lt is not an insignificant fact rather an important one—and indicative of the long promised “good time coming,” that we have, with increasing frequency, additions from the ranks of regularly educated physicians to the number of those who have humanly come forward and inter posed between the Patent Medicine Quacks and their innumerable dupes throughout the country. Ttie evils which have resulted from the success of a few persons in this line, is, we believe, incalcula ble. Husts of venal imitators—groveling pander er.s to their own base passions, avarice, and a pru rient ambition, have sprung up on every side and Hooded the country with foul decoctions, disguised by their inodorousness and bad taste, proclaiming them universal Panaceas for all diseases. This subject has not hitherto failed to at tract the | attention of philanthropists, and if it did not re ! ceive that attention which it so evidently demand ed, it was because no available means for its sup pression presented themselves. A remedy is, how ever, now being applied to the evil, which will not only abate it, but, finally, and we hope, ere long, exterminate it. Regular medical practitioners are now placing their best prescriptions in a popular form before the public—thus affording the advantages of their skill and science without the usual consulting fee in those disorders of ascertained characters, and which may be treated on known principles. We hope that accessions to the number of those physi cians who prefer to seek the sick and heal them rather than repose in dignified retirement of the profession, waiting “a call,” will increase until the whole race of humbugs are extant, and people be assured that a popular medicine is really worth the wrapper that envelopes it—a rather uncertain mat ter with some of the nostrums that are now afloat. We were led into these remarks by a conversa tion which wo just have had with a gentleman—a friend, who for years had been a sufferer from Dyspepsia. We knew him once cheerful, robust and healthy—and, again, from the effects of this health-destroying disorder, emaciated, crabbed, and miserable. Whilst noticing, agreeably, a great change wrought within a few weeks in his appearance and manner, he, as if divining our thoughts, asked if we did not think he was im proving, and proceeded to tell us of the wonderful properties and great value as a remedy, of “BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY.” Bliss Hum bug 1 cried we. But a letter from a lady in New York recommended our friend to try, as lie ex pressed it, this Blissful remedy, and his serious ness in attesting liis restoration to health, being owing to its use, our doubts vanished, and we de termined to give our readers the advantage of our friend’s experience in a short paragraph] Should this meet the eve of Dr. Bliss, No. 20, Beekman street, New York, whom we don’t know from Adam, he will accept our thanks, as the medium of restoring to us a friend, estranged by disease, in tlw health and cheerfulness of disposition in which we formerly knew him. As we have not noticed in any of our exchanges mention of this remedy, we would sav to Dr. 8., place your discovery within ihe reach of all—ad vertise- let your light shine, even though it may not be reflected in the “ Spirit of the Age.” * l BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY is sold bv CLARK, WELLS & SPEAR, Augusta.

The Empire State of the South still ahead in her Improvements. rgtms article compare favora .l blv with any of like character ~3BSS in the known world. 1 tiud that by putting it in the form Sf of a Soap it gives it a decided advan gSlp 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 I’lcers, Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles, Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvv, Sore Eyes, 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; extract tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a superior dcntritice to the teeth. For.shaving soap, it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and curing such sores as may bo on the face. 1 n 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 us above stated, and wishing to avoid everything like humbuggerv, I leave it to those who will give it a fair trial,'not doubting they will then declare this to be the ne plus ultra of the age in the healing art.

Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, applied over the temples about three or four times a day, it was entirely removed, and 1 have felt nothing of it since. I went into the stable one night, to apply it to a horse’s sore leg, and being very lame lie stumbled and fell against my legs, crushing and bruising them so badly that thev turned hlaek as my hat, rendering them powerless. I upplied your Liniment, and was well enough ina few days to go about again as usual. 1 also crushed my finger in a shocking manner, by letting a bark, log fall upon it; your Liniment soon healed it up though. ' JOHN B. M’GKK. LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. 6, 1846, [/:•>■(/. Parker, of New Canton, 111., says; ) Mr. li. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment lias cured some had cases here, which every other remedy had failed in ; one was a white swelling and con tracted cords in the leg of a hov 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 it in vain, and he was fast sinking to the. grave, when the hoy’s father was induced to try 1L G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before tin first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store and the first words he said were, “Mr. Barker I want all that Liniment you have in the store- tile otm bottle I got did my hoy more good than all’that had ever been done before.” That bov is now well ami hearty, and has free use of his leg*.
