•jf The Bridgeport (Conn.) Fanner, of 30th
sl»v, after detailing the circumstances attending
affair of Mr. Brooks and Mr. Sumner, thus j
concludes:
la Boston and Worcester, the hot-beds of Abo
litionism, public meetings were immediately sitm
, mod by the leading agitators, and Parker, Phil
.s, and others of the same stamp, were called
.ii to “agonize," and they did it in the most
tragic style. No theatrical performer of the pre
- nt day can heat either of those two gentlemen
... rehearsing the affecting stories contained in
Cncle Tom s Cabin," or in uttering “Screeches
!i.r freedom. And the plays have been repeated
in those two cities nearly every evening since,
and also in Worcester, l.owell and other places.
The men engaged in this business well under
-uiid that it is necessary to “make hay while the
-ua shines.” Sumner is rigged out, of course, in
ail the graceful and flowing drapery of a saint and
* martyr, while Brooks is clothed in the hideous
gob of a “border rutlin and assassin.”
When the Catholic Seminary, at Charlestown,
»as sacked by a mob and then burnt down, these
saints and patriots were as nimn as oysters. When
:.:e United States Court was assailed in Boston,
a id an officer of ihe Government murdered, while i
: I forming bis duty, they “aided and abetted,” if
iev did not applaud, the perpetrators. When the '■
L. S. Marshal was assaulted in Worcester, and
threatened with destruction of his life ; when
Senator Toucey was burnt iu’efligy, in Hartford and
Haven ; when Governor Wise was personally \
,-ilted in Washington and compelled bv violence
•, desist front addressing a public meeting; when i
Senator Douglas was serve*! in the same manner
a Chicago; when Minister Wheeler was assaulted
in Philadelphia anil robbed by Williamson of his
speii' ; when some iweuty Germans and Irish j
„ere barbarously murdered and their houses burnt
„a election dav in Louisville ; when the Catholic
sinister in Ellsworth, Me., was tarred and feath
eied, and rode «u a rail; when a Catholic Bishop j
:,d ills congregation in Bath, saute State, were
iu..bbed while engaged in laying a new church i
suer slone: when Sherifl' Jones was recently

>>, they had no meetings held, no remonstrances
■. make, no speeches to deliver, no denunciations
•. titter, no agonizing*, no “Screeches for Free
ou their account. Not a murmur—nothing ;
till.' kind. But, on the Contrary, all these things
..cording to their ethics, were either justifiable or
perfectly rigid. And now that an opponent has :
adopted their own code, and imitated their own
sample, by using persoual violence against one of ;
their own then in return for the severest studied i
Tsonal abuse, heaped to overflowing upon the |
•ad of a relative, “without just cause or provoca
jsin," a great “tempest in a teapot” is made. j
We do not approve of personal violence, in re
taliation for “words spoken in debate,” nor for 1
the gratification of political hate ; but we certainly j
have little or no sympathy for Mr. Sumner in this I
a>e. lie has long been an open and unblushing ;
apologist and advocate of violent and forcible re
sstance to the laws. Indeed, his speech, to which ;
n* is indebted for his caning, is in part devoted to I
a justification of the lawless, insurrectionary and
hellions doings of tin* “whiskey drinkers and
idlers" in Lawrence. That part relating to Mr.
liotler, a gentleman soute seventy years of age, of
k.nd and conciliatory* deportment, was intention
ally, studiously abusive —and that, too, without
provocation, and when he was not present to re
ply. It was abusive, also, of theJStute of South Caro- .
tina.
Personal invective and abuse has seemed to be
a favorite system of \\ at fare with the Black Re-!
publicans in the Senate at this session. The game I
was commenced by Wilson, in a personal viliiiica
timi of Mr. Toueev and Gov. Shannon. This was
fallowed up by Hale in anuthei attack upon Mr. ,
Toucev and a bitter tirade against the President. '
And tints the business has been continued till Mr. j
Stunner, after a long preparation, attempted to out- ;
■la all the others in misrepresentation and abuse of
Messrs. Douglas and Butler. Mr. Douglas was
present, and replied to ins carefully selected bii
igsgate, giving him back as good as he sent,
itut Sir. Butler was absent, and having given no I
ust cause for such a malignant and labored assault, !
*r for the equally malignant abuse of hi> State,
s nephew, a member of the House, was impelled,
by ins generous but impulsive feelings, to take the i
manor up, and resent, with blows, tlie indignities
thus unjustly heaped upon iii> imcle and the Suite
he represents. Much may, and much is forgiven
fur words personally offensive, when uttered with
in deliberation in the heat of debate, ibn noth
ing of this character can he urged in vindication
f Mr. Sumner. His speech was evidently written
ut —penned, elaborated and studied, in retirement
in his closet ; and then he was not satisfied with
ne ass mb, in which he declared in substance that
the old man’s devotion to slavery was like a liber
’ute's to an old harlot, but be turned upon him a
-- olid time, and substantially charged, him with
lying in every thing he said -with incapacity for
telling the truth. His words were :
"With regret I come o gain upon the Senator
Irorn South Carolina, (Mr. Butler*. There was no
-wruv.igunee of the ancieut parliamentary debate. *
«■ hi, h he did not repeat ; nor was there am poor
»iV*» Jfr<a>oni from truth which he did not male, ■■
with so much of passion, I am glad to add, as to
*»e him Irom the suspicion of intentional aberra
tion. Bui the Senator touches nothing which in don ,
: disfigure —with error, sometimes of principle,
sometimes of fact. He shows an incapacity of
accuracy, whether in stating the Constitution or
instating the law, whether m the details of sta
shes or the diversions of scholarship. He cannot
be his mouth, but out there flies a blunder.”
lie then compared Mr. Butler to a “foul mouth
ed speaker," who once denounced Franklin. Then
suspending his personal attacks, he turned to the
State which Mr. Butler represents in part, calling
it Republican only in llie name, denouncing its
juducl as shameful, and added :
"Were the whole history of South Carolina
,tt,d'j t of eemtenc<. from its very beginning,
down to the day of tin his' ~f(/n Senator to
his present seat on this floor, civilization might
lose Ido not say how little ; but surely less than
it has already gained by the example of Kansas,
m M* valiant struggle against oppression, and in
the development of a new science of emigration."
He then emitting!' “told the Senator," that
Kansas would be welcomed as a live Siate and a
ministering angel, “when South t aroluia, in the
cloak of darkness which she hugs, ids howling.”
This is only a small part of his personalities and
his denunciations. Such contumely may do in a
bar-room debate or in Ward Beecher’s church—
,n- in an abolition, or other political meeting
where the hearers are all of the same sentiments
as the speaker—but it is out of place in the Senate
of the United States. If members of that body
will, however, disregard the proprieties of their
station, and descend to low personal abuse of their
fellow members - and if, at the same time, they
make themselves advocates or defenders of law-
!<?■>> violence for the redress of political greivauces
or tlie repair of legal wrongs, they must not
complain, they hare no right to complain, if
they are some dav compelled, like the doc
'r. ; take their own physic." If it is pardon
able, or excusable or justifiable, to burn Catholic
seminaries; to assault, tar and feather Catholic
!• sts: to appoint “ smelling committees’' to iu
'.ilt Catholic women ; to mob and murder officers
t the United States, while ir the lawtul discharge
t their duties; to murder naturalized citizens and
burn their dwellings on account of religious and
political hate; it such things may be done in
Massachusetts, and Kentucky, and be insti
lled by the press, in the pulpit, and on the floor of
t onCTess. why, with equal propriety, may not a
H ick K publican Senator be caned for deliberate,
intentional and gross personal abuse ?
The above article, as we stated, we copv from a
democratic paper in Connecticut. Here follows
the remarks of the Nashville Gazette, a Know
Nothing paper iu Tennessee, of 24th May.
COWAKDI.Y AMD OCTRAGEOI'S AssaCLT. As IVC
purpose to express our convictions in strong lan- :
s’uagc, we shall first give the telegraph account of
the matter: “ Immediately after the Senate ad
journed to-day, while Sumner was still in the Sen
ate Chamber. Brooks, of South Carolina, entered i
and approached Sumner, accusing him of libelling
South Carolina and his gray-haired relative, Mr.
Butler. He then struck Sumner, and felled hint
f the floor, and continued to repeat the blows till
Sumner was deprived of the power of speech.
Sumner was taken up and carried to his room. It
is not ascertained whether the injuries are serious
or not."’
We do not, it is true, agree with Mr. Sutnner in
hts political opinions; but if this statement repre
sents the case correetlv, we hesitate not to pro
nounce Brooks a dastardly coward, and bis act a
j dark spot in the fair record of the South, prover
bial for its honor and manliness. The idea of a man
going into the Senate Chamber of the United
States, w ith a club in hand, to beat down a Sena
t»r as if lie were an outlaw, is a disgrace to the
nation which ought to be wiped out by the stroti"
arm of the latv, and what is still stronger, the un
disguised condemnation of every good citizen. Is
the right of speech to be rewarded with the sav
age use of a club f Is this what our boasted liber
ty has come to in the United States? We have al
ways misunderstood the people of the South if
they fall to denounce the cowardly conduct’of
Brooks. \Ve claim for ourselves the right of
speech, and what we claim we freely allow to oth
ers, whether born in the East, North, or West
W hue we continue to advocate the doctrine of op
posing argument by argument, conclusion by con
! , lon ’ V Y® s , llal > most pointedly denounce the man
I who would brutally apply the 'club to another fur
the exercise of a right for which our fathers fought,
, bled and died. ° ’
! - Moreover, that zeal which would club a tnan
tor a strange opinion, comes with bad grace from
j a representative of certain politicians in South
| Carolina, who will go down to posterity as advo
cates of principles as dangerous to the Union as
any ever uttered in New England.
M e deem what we have said on this subject due
alike to manliness, right and the honor of the
South. The Gazette will continue to speak out
freely on all subjects. Reader, would you have us
jdo otherwise ? If so, you will most assuredly be
* disappointed in your expectations. Papers, in too
many instances, are slaves to party, but we intend
; that the Gazette shall keep far from the servile
lin.
National Democratic Convention.
Cincinnati, dune 1. -There is an intense politi
cal excitement prevailing throughout the city to
day, and especially at tin* Burnett House, where
are the head-quarters of all the delegations to the
Democratic Presidential Convention. The friends
of Messrs. Pierce and Buchanan are sanguine, and
the latter assert that many of the Pierce delegates
will only give him a complimentary vote on the
lirst ballot.
Mr. Douglas’ prospects appear to be improving.
Excellent feeling, however, prevails, and all par
ties express their entire confidence in the election
of the Convention's candidate by an overwhelm
ing majority. Vour correspondent never saw
more enthusiastic confidence. The National Dem
ocratic Committee are here in full strength, en
deavoring to harmonize the conflicting delegations
from New York and Missouri. The latter submit
i ted their claims to the committee, who have given
credentials to the National Democratic delegates.
1 ousting the Bentonians. The New Yorkers de
cline all interference, and both Hards and Softs
arc working on the southern delegations. The
outside pressure here for Buchanan is strong, and
j scarcely anybody anticipates more than a compli
mentary vote for Pierce. The impression is gen
j era! that Buchanan will be nominated.
SECOND DISI’ATCH.
Cincinnati, June *2.—Boats from Kentucky and
Ohio towns,-tire arriving here this morning, throng
ed with passengers to witness the proceedings of
'l*e Convention. There are supposed to be twenty
thousand strangers in the city, and the cars mo
mentarily arriving with more’.
The Burnett House has two thousand cots m the
adjoining warehouse. VII the Hotels are overflow
ing, and many of the delegates are quartered in
private houses. The Press is largely represented.
There are one hundred applications for Reporter’s
desks. The Convention assembles at 12 o’clock.
The Buchanan men are vor' confident this morn-
I ing that he will be the nominee. The Hards and
| Softs have pamphlets circulated urging their res
pective claims.
third despatch.
Cincinnati, June 2.—The Douglas men are iu
societ caucus at this moment. There are rumors
afloat that he will withdraw. The Massachusetts
delegation have organized, with B. F. Butler as
chairman. On a test vote the delegation stood
: thus: Pierce 17 ; Buchanan it.
FOURTH DESPATCH.
Cincinnati, June 2 12U' o’clock.—At quarter
before 12 o’clock the signal of the tiring of can
j non for the opening of the Convention was heard
and the delegates commenced assembling in the
Hall selected for the deliberations.
At 12 o’clock the Convention was called to or
der by Hon. K. McLane of Maryland, and Mr.
Richardson, of Illinois, nominated Hon. Samuel
Meadary, of Ohio, for temporary Chairman,
which was carried unanimously.
Mr. Hale, ot Massachusetts, called for the read
ing of the call of the convention, when the call
was read In Mr. English, of Indiana.
Here a sudden uproar was heard at the door of
the convention, when a large crowd rushed into
: the hall, scrambling and fighting amidst the direst
j contusion. It was soon discovered that the disor
derlies were the Benton delegation from Missouri,
who resolved to enter by violence, had knocked
1 down the doorkeeper and rushed iu, headed bv
: Ex-Gov. Price.
For a few minutes a scene of confusion ensued
i that would be impossible to describe—members
1 jumped upon their chairs mnl secured themselves
j as though a serious riot was about to take place.
! After a while quiet was restored, and the reading
! ot the call was proceeded with.
Mr. McLane, of Maryland stutedf that when the
credentials of the Missouri delegates were pre
i seated, the committee of arrangements gave tick
ets of admission|to the delegation which presented
prirno facia evidence of their election, and refused
the oth is. New York also appeared with two
sets of delegates, but the committee could not de
cide which were entitled to seats.
Hon. Samuel Medary, on taking the chair, re
turned thanks fir the temporary honor. He had
i attended every Democratic Convention since the
first that nominated Gen. Jackson, and had tin*
honor to be a member of that which nominated
General Franklin Pierce.
He commented on the progress of tin* Democra
cy and its extended influence. He believed that
the occasional storms on the party were calculated
to purify the atmosphere, and that the party was des
tined to triumph despite temporary quarrels, lie
then introduced the Rev. Mr Nicholson, of Cin
; cinnati, who offered prayer.
From F.l Sicuraguemte, May 27.
Costa llirati Adairs.
I The concurrence of reports from Costa Rica,
that the country is actuated by internal commo
tions, and that the Presidency of Gen. Mora is in
danger of overthrow, induces ns to attach some
importance to the statement. Before President
Mora left Virgin, he believed himself that his pow
er was unpopular at home ; and he did not make
himself faster by deserting so iugloriotisly (be ex
; pedition he commenced with such vain and treneh
j ant proclamations. F.l Nicaraguemt advised in
1 the beginning that his course would bring down
j upon him untold evils; but he disregarded the ad
monition, and the result has approved the asser-
I tion.
Three causes have conspired to bring Gen. Mora
in great disrepute at home. The vanity which
prompted him to undertake individually the op
ptessiou of the present Republican government
of Nicaragua, was sufficient to condemn him in
the estimation of the world ; but in Post a Rica,
, where the people might foolishly shut their eyes
to the probability of stu b an undertaking, they
could n*'t avoid observing the disastrous chain of
cireumstnn'- » that commenced with and have con
\ tinned to follow the expedition of invasion. But
there is no reason to suppose that the people of
Costa Rica approve of the war; and if we are to
j credit the advices from that State, it is altogether
. probable hostilities were commenced wholly with
out the consent and against the wishes of the ma
l joritv. We will not assert that the people of Costa
x Rica approve of the presence of American soldiers
in Nicaragua ; but they did not wish any conflict
with them unless a general league of offensive op
’ erations could be formed among the four adjoining
e Central American States against this Republic.
, I Failing to perfect this combination, they chose to
r live in peace and accept what destiny might be
held in store for them under the course of progres
i sire events that now threaten to disenthral the
_ world.
But the real and tangible grounds of Gen. Mora’s j
recentjunpopularity at home is to be found, first, in ;
hi> imprudent attack upon tins State without es- !
fecting the above combination ; second, in having i
sacrificed so many victims both by war and eliol- ;
era, in an unprovoked outrage upon this Republic ; ;
and third, in having introduced t lie cholera into j
Costa Rica, where it is creating sad devastation. !
It is also stated that the Republicans, or those !
disconnected with the existing authority in Costa
Rica, have originated a revolt in the city of Ala- 1
juela, where the people have always opposed the j
servile administration of affairs. Inconsequence j
of these untoward circumstances, says our Span- j
ish editor, Gen. Mot* is uncertain of his continua
tion iii power, or of his own personal security.
Thus the false steps of politicians continually ;
jeopardise the national welfare and undermine the ,
stability of peace and progress. With blind te
meritv Gen. Mora involved himself in a war with
Nicaragua; and to-day the prospect of ruin to j
himself and evil to his "country is the prominent j
contingency of the times. Gs the three thousand ;
men brought with him in his warlike invasion,
scarcely twelve hundred survive to tell the story
of th"ir defeat and the destruction es their friends.
War. with all its horrors, has visited them, and
yet tin* chain of disastrous consequences has not
"ceased to afflict the survivors. The men are do
sorting and the officers resigning—all absolutely
disgusted with the improvidence that has plunged
the count: v into such a labarynth of misfortune.
And still, we may add, the eud is not yet.

\ ice Presidents, and the report was unanimously
adopted. General Ward made a speech on taking
the chair. The committee on Credentials report
ed that the credentials from Missouri belonged to
the anti-Bentonites. Motions to admit outsiders
to the galleries were laid upon the table amid the
direst confusion. A recess was then taken until
four o’clock in the afternoon, but on the Conven
tion re-assembling, Hie proceedings were wholly
unimportant. Mr. Buchanan’s friends are confi
dent.
Congressional.
IV vshixotox— Senate. —Mr. Bright being ab
sent, Mr. Stewart presided, lie laid before the
Senate the message from the President about
Central American affairs, already published.
A resolution was adopted that when the Senate
adjourns on Thursday, it be to the Monday fol
lowing.
The presiding officer laid before the Senate a
letter from Preston S. Brooks to Mr. Bright, in
which he disclaims any intention of offending
against the privileges of the Senate by his assault on
Mr. Sumner, but he says that he felt bound to chas
tise him for the insults to his State and to his rela
tive, and having sought him in vain elsewhere Lte
deemed it proper to inflict that punishment here,
the Senate not being in session, he did not think
he was committing any breach of privilege.
The letter was read and laid on the table and
ordered to be printed.
Adjourned.
House.-— Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, from the select
committee ou the assault on Senator Stunner,
made a report, concluding as follows :
Whereas, the Senate of the United States have
transmitted to this House a message complaining
that Preston S. Brooks, a Representative from the
State of South Carolina, committed upon the per
son of Charles Sunnier, a Senator from the State
of Massachusetts, while seated at his desk in the
Senate Chamber, after the adjournment of tlmi
body on the 22d of May last, a violent assault,
which disabled him from attending to his duties
in the Senate; and declaring that said assault was
a breach of the privileges of that body.
And whereas, from respect of the privileges of
the House, the Senate have further declared that,
inasmuch as the said Preston S. Brooks is a mem
ber of this House, they cannot arrest him, and, a
faetior', cannot try or punish hint for a breach of
their privileges ; that they cannot proceed further
in the case than to make their complaint to this
House; and that, power to arrest, try and punish
devolves solely on this body ; and whereas, upon
full investigation, it appears to this House that
the said Preston S. Brooks has been guilty of the
assault complained of by the Semite, with most
aggravated circumstances of violence; that the
same was a breach of the privileges not only of
the United States Senate, but of the Senator as
sailed and of this House, as a co-ordinate branch
of the Legislative department of the Government
in direct violation of the Constitution of ihe Uni
ted States, which declares that Senators and Rep
resentatives for any speech or debate in either
house shall not be questioned in any other place.
Whereas, this House is of the opinion that it has
the power, and ought to punish the said Preston
S. Brooks for the said assault, not only as a breach
of the privileges of the Senator assailed, and of
the Senate and House as declared by the Constitu
tion, but as an net of disorderly behaviour ; and
Whereas, it further appears from such investiga
tion that Henry A. Edmondson, a Representative
from the State of Virginia, and Lawrence M. Keitt,
from South Carolina, sometime
previous to said assault, were informed that it was
the purpose of said Mr. Brooks to commit violence
upon the person of said Charles Sumner, for words
used by linn in debate as a Senator in the Senate,
anil took no measures to discourage or prevent, the
same, but, on the contrary, anticipating the com
mission of such violation, were present on *>»o or
more occasions to witness the same, as friends of
the assailant —therefore
Resolved, That l’reston S. Brooks be and he is
forthwith expelled front this House as a Repre
sentative from the State of South Carolina.
Resolved, That this House hereby declares ils
disapprobation of the said act of Henry A. Ed
mmidson and Lawrence M. keitt in regard to said
assault.
Signed by Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, Mr. Spinner
and Mr. Pennington.
Hon. Howell Cobb, from the minority of said
committee, submitted a minority report arguing
that no breach of privilege, under the Constitu
tion, had been committed, and the House had no
power to go beyond the Constitution in deciding
that the breach of privilege had been committed.
Both of the reports were laid on the table and
ordered to be printed.
The House then adjourned.
Randolph’s Sarcasm. -One time a voung man
attempted to make his acquaintance. He obtained
an introduction, and among the first remarks,
said :
“I passed your house lately, Mr. Randolph."
“1 hope you always will!” was the reply.
Another one twitted him as to his “want of edu
-1 cation.” •
“The gentleman himself reminds me,” he re
| plied, “of the land about the headwaters of the

Election in Nicaragua.
On Sunday last, a large table, covered with a
red cloth and surrounded br officers, attracted
considerable attention from the Americans -is
they walked up and down the collonade of the’row
of buildings on the West side of the plaza Pa
pers were thrown loose upon the cloth, and even
other while the clerks would seize their pens anci
write. The people of the country, the simple mar
ket women, the beggars on the corners, the leper
of the infirmary, all knew whaf it meant, but we
the editor of the newspaper, the great factotum of
a country town, were completely in the dark as
to the import of the red table,” its officers and
papers.
It was the solemn election of the Republic.
The people were exercising their greatest pre
rogative of electing the officers that shall rule
them for another term of office. In this country
the elective franchise extends to every male in
habitant of eighteen years, against whom there is
no criminal prosecution, and who is not charged
with being a dissolute and vicious naan, she
voters elect delegates, who assemble in the capitals
of the different departments and elect Representa
tives, Senators, atid a President. A man must be
twenty-three years old to be a delegate, twenty
five to be a Representative, and thirty to be Sena
tor or President.
The election on Saturday last—as most public
days in the Republic come on Sunday—was con
cluded with the greatest decorum. The candidates
for the Presidency were all of the same political
faith, the only dispute being between the Demo
crats of Leon and those of Grenada. Don Patricio
Rivas, the present popular President, was support
ed by the people of Grenada, and Gen. Mariano
Salizar, a great favorite, by the people of Leon.
A few votes have been cast for Don Notdeste Ra
mirez, ot Leon. The struggle is between Rivas
and Salizar, and it is impossible to determine at
present who will be the next President of Nica
ragua.
The election in Grenada proceeded bv cantons,
or wards, each ward of four thousand persons
electing one delegate. The people generally took
great interest in the result, and the number of
votes rati larger than at any election held in Gre
nada. To the governments and people abroad this
significant fact cannot be avoided that the Repub
lic of Nicaragua expresses she will of the people.
All its actions emanate from the silent expression,
and every movement it has made has been under
taken by the concurrence of the great body of the
people. To ignore, then, the fact of our absolute
independence, is to deny to the inhabitants of Ni
caragua the right of self-government.
I “It has comk—Fire!”— On one occasion, dur
. mg an engagement, Capt. Duncan, commanding
tlie living Artillery, Gen. Pillow, in his usual sol
emn manner called oet to this officer, ‘Capt. Dun
can ; lire—the arisi.s has come !’ Duncan without
saying a word, turned to his men, who were stand
ing by their guns already shotted and primed and
simply called out. “fire!’' The men were slightly
surprised at the order, there being no particular
object within range, when an old grey-headed
Sergeant stepped up with—“Phiz ver honor what
shall we lire at?” “ Fire at the crisis” said Dun
can ; “didn’t you beer the General sav it had
come ?” ,

GEOBGIA MEDICATED SOAP.
The Empire Mute of the South still ahead in her
Improvements.
f j’HIIS article wijf compare favora- '•‘^^j****’
I -M bly with any of like character
in the known world.
I find that by putting it in the form
of a Soap it gives it a decided advan jIHIIj
tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment, >*.**Bk.
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 u» 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
Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and dandruff from the head, therebt
preventing premature baldness. It is also one of 1
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will !
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract I
tar, paint and grease front clothing, and is also a j
superior dentritice to Ihe teeth. For shaving soap,
it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and !
curing such sores as may be on the face.
In the cure of all tlie enumerated diseases, and ;
particular old store*, this soap has proved a balm j
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it !
necessary, but believing that a single cake is oulv !
requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, anil
wishing to avoid everything like lumibuggerv, I
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not
doubting they will then declare this to be tlie ve
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.

THE proprietors of tins large and splen
did new Brick Building, which lias iu.-t MHi
been fitted up in elegant style, with entire JiUL
new t urniture, would respectfully inform the pub
lic that they have at length completed and opened
it for the accommodation of permanent and tran
sient Boarders.
They have made every effort to arrange it in such
a manner as to render their guests comfortable.
And having had a long experience, they do not in
tend to be excelled by any landlord.
The Furniture, as well as the House, is perfectly
new.
j Those acquainted with the topography of Geor
gia, know that within her limits exist some of the
most sublime and magnificent works of Nature
and Stone Mountain justly tanks as one of the
; number.
Southerners who wish to spend their summers at
the South, instead ot going North, will find the cli
ipaie bracing, and the water pure as the purest.
I he climate is not surpassed.
The proprietors flatter themselves that those who
| call once, will be well enough satisfied to call again.
