AUGUSTA, QrA. x
SUNDAY MORNING, DIC. 4, 1859.
Judee Hardeman.
The Milledgeville Recorder publishes a dispatch
from Isaac Hardeman, Esq., (who, it appears, is
now with his father, the Hon. Robert V. Harde
man, in Mississippi,) announcing that his father
has resigned the office of Judge of the Superior
courts of the Ocmulgee circuit, and that his resig
nation has been mailed to the Executive of the
State. The Legislature is thus relieved ofthe ne
cessity of removing Judge Hardeman.
Every one who knows him, will be sincerely re
joiced to learn that he has voluntarily retired from
a position for which he has been unfitted by loDg
continued ill-health. The State has produced but
few better men than Robert Y. Hardeman.
Gov. Brown will probably appoint Iverson L.
Harris, Esq., of Baldw r in,to fill the vacancy created
by the resignation of Judge Hardeman. Col.
Wingfieid, of Putnam, has been spoken of
position, but we understand that he desires the
appointment of Major Harris.
Hinton Ho wan Helper.
We published a few days ago, extracts from a
work entitled, ‘-The Impending Crisis of ths
South,” in which tbecfVerthrow of slavery iscoua*
seled, as old Brown attempted to accomplish it by
treason and servile insurrection; together with
the evidence that this infamous publication was
endorsed and circulated by the leaders of the
Black Republican party, including sixty-eight
members of Congress. The author of this incen
diary volume, is a person who calls himself Hin
ton Rowan Helpkr, and claims to be a native of
North Carolina. We find in the Constitution of
the first instant, an extractjfrom the Congressional
Globe, containing some very interesting informa
tion in reference to this Helper, which enables us
to understand how he can be a southern man and
a tool of the Abolitionists. This extract, taken from
page one thousand four hundred and fifty-nine of
the Congressional Globe, for the first session of the
thirty-fifth Congress, contains the remarks made
by senator Biggs of North Carolina, now Judge of
the United States District Court of that State,
when the first edition of Helpers’ work was re
ferred to as authority in the Senate of the United
States by an Abolitionist. Judge Biggs exposes
Helper as a common rogue and a refugee from
justice, who does not dare to enter the State of
which he boasts he is a son. But, we are not
surpised that he should be accepted as a credible
witness against slavery and the South, by those
who regard old Brown as a hero. The extract
we refer to is as follows :
in Senate, Monday, April 5, 1858. —Mr. Biggs
said: I want to disabuse the mind of the Senator
from Massachusetts and those who read this book,
as to the reliability of the authority on which he
relies. Who, then, is this Mr. Heifer, of North
Carolina, relied upon in the Senate cf the United
States as evidence from the South of the state of
southern society? I speak from authority that
cannot be doubted. Hinton Rowan Heifer, the
author of the “ Impending Crisis,” is a native of
Davie county, North Carolina. His first appear
auce in active life was as a clerk of Michael Brown,
a merchant in Salisbury, North Carolina. Mr.
Brown is an elder of the Presbyterian church ; and
after Heifer removed to Salisbury he also joined
the Presbyterian church, and, so' far as was pub
licly known, conducted himself with propriety. Af
ter living with Mr. Brown several ytears as clerk, it
was understood at Salisbury that he formed a co
partnership with Mr. Coffman in the book business,
and left for tbe North to buy in a stock of books.
He did not return as expected, but shortly there
after went to California, and there, or shortly after
his return, wrote a book called ‘Land of Gold.’
- He returned to Salisbury about 1854, where he re
mained sometime without any apparent business.
In the summer of 1856, as is reported and believed,
he procured surety for and obtained money. He
however, about that time left for the North,
where he now resides, neve? since having
returned to North Carolina. After leaving North
Carolina he changed his name from Heifer
to Helper; and it was disclosed last year that
while a clerk for Mr. Brown, he purloined from
him three hundred dollars, and, after an exposure
by Mr. Brown, Helper making a merit of necessity,
himself publicly confesses, in a hand-bill which 1
have before me, this thieving on his part, and ex
cuses it upon the ground that he was entitled to
tbe act by some ambiguous expression of a friend
of his that it was allowable for clerks so to do; and
the further excuse, that it was an indiscretion of
youth, although at the time, he was in full stand
ing in the Presbyterian Church, and, as he says,
himself was seventeen years of age. It is due to the
Presbyterian Church to say that this man is not
now a member of that Church. Now, sir, when
and why he altered his name I know’ not, except
he defines Helper, one who kelps himself from the
purses of others without their consent; and, there
fore, concluded the change of name appropriate to
his character. He is a dishonest , degraded, and dis
graced man ; and although—much to be regretted
—a native cf the State, yet he is an apostate son,
ruined in fortune and character, and catering to a
diseased appetite at the North to obtain a misera
ble living by slanders upon the land of his birth ;
and I deeply regret that the Senator from Massa
chusetts has, by a reference, so dignified the crea
ture as to render necessary this exposure. Such is
Mr. Helper of North Carolina, auth# of tbe “Im
pending Crisis of the South,” alias Mr. Heifer,
once of North Carolina, but who has left the land
of his birth for the good of the State.
“ Now, I would respectfully suggest to the hon
able Senator from Massachusetts to append a note
to the edition of his Speech, giving the true char
acter of the author of this book, upon which he
has relied, so that the readers of his speech may
not be, as he has been, so unwittingly misled by
authority so degraded and unreliable.”
isr Items from tbe Savannah Uepublican ot
Dec Ist:
The trains upon tbe Central railroad are bring
ing in cotton faster than it can be moved out bv
the drays, and the company is again compelled to
throw it into the lower yard, by the canal. The
crop is pressing in from all quarters, aud taxing
the rolling stock of the several companies to the
greatest extent. Dr. Lewis, of the .State road, on
hearing of this pressure, offered the loan of one
hundred cars and seven locomotives to Mr. Cuyler,
who accepted the cars, and they are now r coming
down and being distributed to the various points
where the calls for relief are most urgent. Dr.
Lewis deserves our thanks, and we give them most
heartily, for this evidence of good feeling towards
our railroad lines. The receipts by Central rail
road were ninety thousand bales for last month,
and with this addition of rolling stock we may
expect, if the same anxiety to ship continues, that
the receipts bv this line will be a hundred thous
and bales in December.
An iron bridge of the lattice pattern, light and
airy, is being thrown over the street tc connect
Mr. John Stoddard’s new and elegant brick
stores more conveniently with the Bay. It is a
considerable advantage,' and one which Mr. Stod
dard’s tenants will appreciate.
Cotton. —Never have we seen so much cotton in
our streets; last year being no exception, as there
is now every lane, alley, and available place where
it can be placed out of the reach of tbe law, has
been occupied for the past few days. We sup
pose that it has been caused by the recent heavy
sales.
Thb Census Taken.— W e learn from good author
ity, that the census was taken by parties interested
last week, to ascertain the number of marriagea
ble persons in Charlotte, of both sexes, and it 'was
found that sixty-young ladies were waiting to ba
asked, and sixty-five men were anxious and willing
to “pop the question,” if they thought they would
nnt oe sacked or be required to undergo a long and
. odious courtship.
Yeung ladies, encourage these unfortunate fel
lows and let them understand that you are kindly
disposed, and are only waiting to be asked.
By the way, we would like to know from those
who took tbe census whether they included in the
count widows .and widowers. As the,' count now
stands, five men will be compelled to look abroad,
or grieve to death for the want of mate.
We move that the five who shall be ruled out
settle the aflfatr by drawing straws. Call a conven
tion gentlemen, and let the ladies know your de
termination, and who have been ruled out.
GharLotte (N. C.) Bulletin.
*• Tub BaNNB* to Stakd ob Die By,—Under this
bead, the infamous book of Helper, endorsed by
the Governor of New York, sixty-eight members
of Congress, northern merchants, manufacturers,
Ac., has this among its recommendations:
“No patronage to. pro-slavery merchants; no
guestship in slave-waiting hotels ; no fees to pro
slavery lawyers ; no employment of pro-slavery
physicians; no audience to pro-slavery parsons.”
People of the South, will you qot retaliate upon
these men in their own kind ? Will you not give
them a taste of theirown medicines ? ,
Richmond ( Vet.) Pispetch.
A Good Suggestion.— The Carolinian contains a
communication over the signatare of “H.,” sug
gesting that a change should be made in relation
to the law of evidence, so as to meet the insidious
designs of the Abolitionists.
“White men who shall hereafter be suspected of
encouraging or promoting sedition or insubordi
nation among our slaves, shall be liable to be con
victed upon negro evidence, provided the same be
corroborated by circumstances, and is not in direct
opposition to the testimony of white persons whom
the jury might deem credible.” #
Such a change in the law of evidence would
have the de.iired effect, and would, no doubt, lead
to the conviction of a good many itinerant north
erners who are constantly passing through the
country without any legitimate business.
The negro is as equally entitled to belief as the
Abolitionist, for the latter seeks to place the former
on a political equality with himself. Why not
then, let a negro—a good, faithful negro—give tes
timony against the infamous wretch who would
consign to ashes the home of his master ?

liT Nature is the Great Physician.—This is now
admitted by the medical profession as a fundamental principle
of healing science. It is wisely provided by the human eco
nomy that, whenever anything is wrong in the physical sys
tem, the natural forces of the body are brought to bear to ex
pel the disease. The great aim therefore, is, to strengthen the
natural powers. This has been kept in view by the skillful
compounders of DR. J. HOSTETTER’S BITTERS, which
operate to give fresh vitality to all the organs of the body.
Theefiectsofthis medicine upon the Stomach, the Liver and
the Kidneys, are prompt and decisive. The patient who is
wise enough to quit drugging and try the BITTERS, soon
feels as if he had taken a new lease of life; and as he con
tinues the use of the article, he is overjoyed to find the streams
of health coursing through his frame. Let all from whose
cheek the bloom has departed give DR. J. IIOSTETTER’S
CELEBRATED BITTERS a trial.

To the Be-Drugged and Poisoned Citizens of
the South.
You are overrun with a deluge of the vilest compounds,
in the form of “Alcoholic Drinks," that ever emanated from
that pest of society, the Liquos Mixer. They are sold to
you as a luxury, or they are dispensed to you as a medicine
and in either ease, the effect is the same.
There is but one way to escape, and that is, to use, as a luxu
ry, or a medicament, a safe and reliable s', imulant, sold under
Stamp and Seal, which renders it certain that it has not been
larnpered with. Such an article is CHARLES’ LOUDON
CORDIAL GIN, which is distilled under inspection of the
British Government, is delicately flavored, (unlike any other
Gin), with some of the most valuable restoratives of the Vege
table Kingdom, a»d is by far the’most healthy beverage exj
tant.
The most eminent Physicians of Europe and America, not
only recommend its use by the hale and hearty, but presciibe
it as a mediciue where a stimulant as required.
Dr. Valentine Mott, of New York, says: “It is the best ar
ticle of the kind I have ever seen.”
The female sex will find it not only a pleasant Cordial, but
a certain relief in sufferings of a periodical character.
Analytical Chemists of all ranks pronounce it perfectly
pure, and its restoratives merits incomparable. Buy .only
CHARLES’. None other is Imported.

COGNAC BRANDY, in Bottles, bolh for Medical and Pri
vate use. The immense success which has crowned my ef
foits to place a Pure Gin wiihin the reach of all, under the
name of AROMATIC SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, and to
drive out of the market the pernicious compounds sold as Gin
throughout the country, led many leading Druggists, Apothe
caries. and Medical men, for soma years past, to solicit me to
pursue the same course iu regard to the article of Brandy. I
should have compiled with these requests, from all quarters,
long ago. but was deterred from it by the fact that, owing to
the exorbitant prices of Brandy in France, consequent upon
the shortness of the Grape crop for some years, there was no
chance of my being able to import the choicest Brandy, bot
tle it, and sell it at moderate prices. Fortunately for me, the
Grape crop for the last and previous yenr, (and the prospect
for this), was abundant, and the prices of Brandy have fallen
to the standard of ten years ago. The duty on Brandy is also
seventy per cent, lower, and I have now made arrangements
with four Brandy exporters in France, cf the highest repute,
and am regularly receiving consignments of the Cognac Bran,
dy, which I am bottling and selling as WOLFE’S GENUINE
COGNAC BRANDY. I guarantee with my Seal, Labels,
and Certificates, the Brandy so bottled by me, as the pure, un
adulterated article ; and it will be found, when used as a medi-
beverage, or a cordial, healthful and invigorating. It
has been a matter of universal complaint, that a bottle of pure
unmixed French Brandy, was very difficult to obtain ; and the
purchaser, nine times in ten, was deceived with a vile nianu
factured imitation. Os. a’l descriptions of ardent spirits,
Brandy, from its high price, has been the one article that mix
ers and sellers have turned their attention to ; and millions of
gallons of the so-called French Brandy have been scattered
annually through the land, and have been the primary cause
of murders, suicides, cruelties, and crimes, and have sent
thousands to an early grave, self-destroyers, from delirium
tremens, mania-a-potu, and horrors, names unknown, until un
principled men began to make maddening compounds, and
sell it as the pure French Brandy.
Thevirtuesof pure French Brandy need not be told by me.
They are known thro'ighout the world as a medicine, or mild
stimulant. It is, as the Frencli nation poetically call it, “Eau
de la vie”—the water of life. Eut this appliesto it only when
pure and unadulterated. Manufactured with the fearful in
gredients that make a good imitation, it becomes a death drink
to innocent tens of thousands of our race. To remedy a fear
ful evil, I have commenced importing Brandv, bottling it, and
selling it as WOLFE’S GENUINE COGNAC BRANDY.
I am daily receiving orders from the Druggists and A pother
caries in al 1 parts of ttie Union, to sell it for medical purposes.

“ DOPE WE DON’T INTRUDE!”
Having Accepted tlie Agency for
. WEED’S
PATENT SEWINGMACHINES,
WE take the liberty of introducing them to the community
as new and worthy competitors for public favor. We
believe we hazard nothing in saying that they are vert supe
rior to a great many now before the public, and fully equal to
the best. For Beauty, Simplicity, Curability, and Capability
to execute all styles of work, they are a little ahead of any
Machine yet come to town.
We d« not deem it necessary at this time to publish the
many awards of merit they have elicited, or the certificates of
commendation from persons who have them in use—believing
that all pqjsons intending to make an outlay of money, equal
In value to a good Sewing Machine, would prefer to have ecu
‘ar 9 r . experimental demonstration. We respectfully solicit
our friends, the public, and “the rest of mankind,” to give us
a call before purchasing elsewhere. W r e warrant every one ;
and if, on trial, (the purchaser being the judge), they do not
come up te the recommendation, we will take them back, re
fund the money, and no questions asked. Prices from #SO to
