AUGUSTA, GA.
FRIDAY MORNING, PIC. 9, 1859.
Probable Eud ol the Choice Case.
Mr. Smith, of Talbot, offered a resolution in the
Senate on Tuesday afternoon, to the effect that
the Secretary of State be ordered to furnish to the
Supreme Court a certified copy of ihe bill passed
by the Legislature for the pardon of W m. A. Choice.
Mr. Collier, of Fulton, offered as an amendment,
that a certified copy of the message of Gov. Brown,
vetoing the bill, should be attached to it. The
amendment was rejected, and the resolution as
originally introduced was adopted. The object of
the resolution is to obtain from the Supreme
Court, a decision ot the question whether the sig
nature of the Governor is Tnecessary, to a bill pass
ed bv the Legislature, pardoning a criminal con-,
victed of murder.
The Convention Yesterday.
Yesterday was the day designated for the meet
ing of the Convention at Milledgeville, called by
the Democratic members of the Legislature, to
appoint delegates to represent ihe Democracy of
this State in the Charleston Convention. We
have seen in the Democratic papers of the Stale
the proceedings ofjsix meetings only, convenedjfor
the purpose of appointing delegates to this Con
vention, and five of them disapproved of the ac
tion of the Democratic members of the Legisla
ture in calling it. But, still, we suppose that the
Convention was held, and that delegates were ap
pointed to the next National Convention of the
Democratic parly.
The Democracy of the State, iif they had been I
permitted time to act, would have repudiated the
action of their Representatives in the Legislature,
in calling this convention. Those Representatives
wore sent to Milledgeville to attend to the inter
ests of the State and of their constituencies, not to
nominate delegates to represent the Democratic
party of Georgia, and cast its vote in the Charles
ton Convention. That was a right which was not
delegated to them, but which the Democratic pea*
pie of the State expected at the proper time to ex
ercise. They were not permitted to exercise that
right in the convention held yesterday,for they were
not and could not be represeutedin that body. Nor
did they care to be represented in that body. They
are not prepared at such a iime as this, when no
one can say what a day may bring forth, to indi
cate their choice for a nomiffee for the Presidency
months in advance of the meeting of the nomina
ting convention, and lay down the platform upon
which they are willing to sustain that nominee.
They wanted time to deliberate upon these impor
tant matters, and to see what would be the devel
opements of the next few months; and for these
reasons they desired to poslpone the appointment
of delegates to the Charleston Convention until
the time designated by the Executive Committee.
But, these delegates were probably appointed
yesterday, and the question now is, will the party
accept them, or prepare to hold the convention on
the second of March, which has been called by
the Executive Committee, and appoint others in
their stead ? The decision of this question will
depend very much upon the action taken by the
convention yesterday. If the delegates appointed,
and the platform adopted by it, represent and ex
press the views and feelings of the Democracy of
the State, there will be no other convention; if
they do not, there will be. The party is not bound
by the action of the convention of yesterday, be
cause that body was an unauthorised assemblage,
it is free to accept or repudiate that action. It did
not authorise the call of the convention—it was
not represented in it, and it is under no obligation
to submit to wbat it has done. We trust that the
convention has appointed delegates and adopted a
platform, which will be approved by the whole
party, and that there will be, therefore, no occasion
for another convention. But. before we know what
its action has been, we desire distinctly to state,
that in our opinion, the party is free to accept or
repudiate it, and if it is repudiated, that the re
sponsibility for the dinsions and discords which
may ensue, will rest with the Democratic members
of the Legislature, who called the convention,
without the sanction of the party.
Message of Governor Wise.
The message of the Governor of Virginia, was
transmitted to the Legislature of that State on
Monday, the sth inst. We would be glad
lish it in extenso, but have space only for the sub
joined extract. After an able review of all the cir
cumstances connected with the Harper’s Ferry af
fair, Gov. Wise proceeds:
We must, then, acknowledge and acton the
fact that present relations between the States can
not be permitted longer to exist without abolish
ing slavery throughout the United States, or com
pelling us to defend it by force of arms.
On the 25tb ult., I addressed letters to the Gov
ernors of Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio, of
which the accompanying are copies. From the
Governor of Maryland I have received a very sat
isfactory reply, herewith submitted. I hare re
ceived a reply, by telegraph, from the Governor of
Pennsylvania, also, who, I am proud to say, has
promptly performed his duty in delivering up tlto
fugitives from justice, and who proteats that his
State will do her confederate duty in all respects.
He intimates that Virginia ought" not to anticipate
that Pennsylvania will neglect to prevent obstruc
tions to, or violations of, the laws in her limits;
but a watchful guardianship of Virginia’s safety
could not neglect to apprise Pennsylvania’s au
thorities of crimes meditated against either State
(of which I was informed, and they were, probablv
not informed),.by way of intelligence and warn
ing.
John Brown, with his associates, arms and
stores, had just before already passed through
Pennsylvania, and had remained at places in her
limits, and he had enlisted one man, at least, a
negro, in one of her towns. I had not, therefore,
anticipated the facts, but appealed to them for
steps of prevention and precaution, after what had
already occur!ed. And the Governor of Pennsyl
vania,! presume, speaks more in a spirit of a
just State pride than from such evidences of dan
ger and cause of apprehension as the Executive
here is in posession of, respecting combinations,
depots, and rendezvous in adjoining States, for in
vading the borders of Virginia. From the Gov
ernor of Ohio I have as yet received no answer.
On the same day, the 25th ultimo. I addressed a
letter to the President ot the United States, of
which the enclosed is a copy. On the 29th I re
ceived from him the accompanying answer, to
which i have not replied, but upon which I must
here comment.
He seems to think that the Constitution and
lawß of the United States do not provide authority
for the President to interpose to “repel invasions ”
or keep the peace between the States, in cases
where the citizens of one State invade another
State, unless the Executive or Legislature of the
State invaded applies for protection. I differ from
this opinion. Neither the framers of the Constitu
tion nor the Congress of 1795, were guilty of so
gross an omission in their provisions for the Na
tional safety.
By clause third of section ninth of article first
of the Constitution, the States are deprived of the
power, “ without the consent of Congress, to keen
troops or ships of war in time of peace, or to en
gage in war, unless aci.ua.ly invaded, or in such
imminent danger as will not admit of delay.”
To compensate them for this privation of the
power of preparation for defence, it is provided in
section fourth of article fourth, that “ the United
States shall guarantee to every State in the Utiion
a republican form of government, and shall pro
tect each of them against invasion ; and on appli
cation of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when
the Legislature cannot be convened,) against do
mestic violence.”
Now, it is readily conceded, “ United •States”
here is to be taken os synonym, us with the winds
“ the Congress.” The clause is in juxtaposition
with clauses defining the powers of “ the Con- j
gress.” And if they were not, bv the eighteenth 1
clause of section eighth of article first, to “ the I I
Congress” is given the power “ io make all laws i t
which shall be necessary and proper for carrying i t
into execution” its own powers, “ and all other I ’
powers vested in the government of the United i t
States, or in any department or officer thereof.” j j
This duty and power, then, of guaranteeing pro- ! i
tection to every State against invasion, belongs | i
unquestionably to Congress. Has it exercised the f
power? It has. Thus: ; t
To the Congress, also, is given the power “to j i
raise and support armies,” and “to provide, and i
maintain a navy,” and these are called, specially, t
« the l*nd and naval forces” of the United States, j a
I presume that no one will gainsay the proposi- i
tion that the chief object of these land and naval i
forces is “to suppress insurrections and to repel J
invasions.” i
But, in addition to these powers, another is
specially added : “To provide for calling forth the S
militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress i
insurrections and repel invasions.” And I pre- i
sume that no 6ne will insist that the regular army i
and navy of the United States may not be ordered |
to execute the laws of the Union, and to suppress i
insurrections and repel invasions, without calling i
forth the militia, or though the militia may be \
called forth, to execute the same purposes.
.This granted, the Congress did pass the laws : I
first, to raise armies, and to provide and maintain j
a navy, as well as laws for calling forth the militia. 1
And then, by article second, the President is <
vested with the executive power. He is sworn faith- >
fully to execute the office of President, and to the \
best of his ability, to preserve, protect and de
fend the Constitution of the United States ; and ’
tie is made Commander-in-chief of the army’ and
navy of the United Slates, and of the militia of
ihe several States, when called into the actual ser
vice of the Uoiied States ; and he shall take care
ihat the law's be faithfully executed.
Now, to revert to the fourth section of the fourth
article :
In this section, there are two things against
which the United States guarantees protection to
every State :
Ist. against “invasion.” Not one kind of inva
sion or another, but simply “invasion” of all kinds
from every quarter; and no application for protec
tion is required against “invasion.” Whenever
it comes, however it comes, it is to be protected
against. The word itself imports force from with
out—any force from without the State invaded,
whether from foreign country, or alien enemies,
or Indian tribes; it is confined to no particular in
vasion. And against this the President has the
means provided by Congress in the laws raising
and providing a standing army and navy—the
land and naval forces of the United States which
need not be “called forth,” but are armies already
raised and standing, aud a navy already “provided
and maintained.” The President is Commander
in-chief of these, and may order them to repel
actual invasion, as they are already in actual ser
vice without being “called forth.” And he is sure
ly as much bound to execute the Constitution as
the statutes of Congress. “The laws,” to be exe
cuted embrace both, and he has the means to
execute both provided in the statutes for raising
armies and providing a navy, as well as in the
laws calling forth the militia.
But to proceed:
2d. The second thing that every State is to be
protected against is “domestic violence.” These
words import force from within—a domestic force,
acting in rebellion or insurrection or obstruction
of the laws, against the State. To interpose
against this, there must be an application of the
Legislature, or of the executive of the State when
the Legislature cannot be convened.
And under this clause of this section, special
acts of February |2Bth, 1795, and of March 3d,
1807, have been passed. They are wholly dis
tinct from the laws of Congress raising armies and
providing a navy. The first clause of the first
section of the act of 1795 relates to invasion of the
United States “from any foreign nation, cr Indian
tribe.” The second clause ot that section relates
to “insurrection in any Stete against the Govern
ment thereof,” &c., to “domestic violence,” in oth
er words, and not expressly or impliedly to “inva
sion of any State.” And the second section of
the act relates to obstructions of the laws of the
United States, and not of any State. And the
whole act, so far as relates to the States, is an act
to provide for “calling forth the militia” to sup
press domestic violence, and not for commanding
the laDdand naval forces already in actual service
against “invasion.”
Invasion of any State is in fact invasion of ihe
United States. And the act of 1807 applies ex
pressly to cases only of “ insurrection or obstruc
tion to the laws either of the United States, or anv
individual State or Territory. And if the Presi
dent’s construction of his power be correct, this
act, which was intended undoubtedly to extend
the act of 1795, and enlarge its provisions, would
operate to restrict and contract its provisions. He
could not use such part of the land and naval force
of the United States as shall bejudged necessary by
him, without having first observed all the prere
quisites of the law for calling forth the militia.
These acts, in aVord,|do not, in word or meaning,
apply to cases of “ invasion of a State,” but so far
as a State is concerned, to cases only of domestic
violence; and where the militia are called forth
on application of the Legislature or of the Execu
tive of the Stale rebelled against.
Here there was no “ insurrection no case of
force from within. Invasion was threatened from
without, by citizens of one State against, another
State. It is monstrous to say that there is nothing
in the Constitution or laws guaranteeing protection
to a State in such cases. The Constitution is ex
press. It needs, in fact, the laws only which have
been passed—the laws of the army and the navv
, of the United States, and the laws for calling forth
the militia, to execute both of the clauses of pro
tection guaranteed by the Constitution to “every
State of the Union.” The men of 1795 made no
such gross omission. They understood their work
. too well tor that. And what a spectacle theCnited
States would have presented, if on the second an
army of fanatics had invaded Virginia to rescue
> felons legally convicted, and a bloody battle had
s been joined, and the United States land forces at
Harper’s Ferry bad stood neutral spectators, guard
ing only the United States arsenal, and playing
posse comitatus to a United States marshal, but
not allowed to aid the execution of the laws of a
Slate or to repel invasion, because the United
, Sta’es were not invaded “from a foreign country,
or by Indian tribes.”
1 The bare statement is revolting to the fourth sec
tion of the fourth article of the Constitution guar
anteering protection to every State against inva
sion ; to every statute of Congress raising land
aud naval forces of the United States ; to all the
ends and purposes of those laws and to peace; to
the oath and executive office of the President of the
United States to preserve, to protect and defend
the Constitution, and to'see the laws faithfully ex
ecuted.
Such are my views of the Constitution and laws.
The ”iews of the President, it seems, are different.
I notified him of a just apprehension that this State
was threatened with “invasion” by a predatory
border war, to rescue prisoners convicted of high
crimes and felonies, and to seize our citizens as
hostages and victims in case of execution of the
criminals, proceeding from several surrounding
States.
He answered, that “it would seem almost in
credible that auy portion ot the people of the
States mentioned, should be guilty of the atrocious
wickedness as well as folly of attempting to rescue
convicted traitors and murderers from the penalty
due to their crimes under the outraged laws of
Virginia.”
I reply to him, through you, gentlemen, that it
is strange this should seem so incredible, when
the very “convicted traitors and murderers” were
portmns of the people of the States mentioned,
who had just been convicted of invading our bor
der, and seizing a United States arsenal, and of
perpetrating treason and murder against both the
State and the United States authority. And I
surely may be allowed latitude for acting on the
mass of information I have received, of renewed
invasion, when perhaps pardonable inattention at
Washington to warning of the murder and treason
at Harper's Ferry, left an arsenal and a people de
fenceless against that invasion!
1 did not call on the President to protect Vir
ginia, and would hot do so. I apprised him of ap
prehensions “in order that be might take steos to
preserve peace between the States.” I had called
out our own militia, and they are a thousand fold
ample to defend their State. They have had not
ouly to guard their own border, but to guard in
part ihe arsenal of the United States.
The President has, however, manifested a “cheer
ful and cordial” disposition to defend the place
ceded to the United States at Harper’s Ferrv, he
• *nt a small guard as soon as informed that it* was
unguarded, and has reinforced that guard, “not
only to protect the public property clearly within
Federal jurisdiction, but to prevent the insurgents
from seizing the arms in the arsenal at that place,
and using them against the troops of Virginia.”
“Besides,” he says, “it is possible the additional
troops may be required to act as a posse comitatus
on the requisition of the marshal of the United
States for the western district of Virginia, to pre
vent tbe rescue of Stevens, now in bis custody
charged with the crime of high treason.”
j JThen, for these objects—lst: To keep arms of
the United States out of the hands of the invaders
of Virginia. And 2d: To act as “posse comitatus ”
to a United States Marshal, the land forces ol the
United States may be used. But 3d: ‘Not to pre
vent “invasion” of one State by the people ot an
other State. And he says he can discover nothing
in any provision in the Constitution or laws of the
United States which would authorise him to “take
steps” for the purpose of preserving peace between
the States, “by guarding places in surrounding
states which may be occupied as depots and ren
dezvous by desperadoes to invade Nirginia,” As
I understand his interpretation of the Constitution
and laws, he cannot call forth‘the militia nor em
ploy the land and naval forces of the United States
“for this purpose.”
He says it is tbe duty of the respective State
governments to break up such depots, and to pre
vent their citizens from making incursions, Ac.
but that if the Federal Executive were to enter
these States and perform this duty for them, it
would be a manifest usurpation of their rights.
Were he thus to act, it woijld be apalpable inva
sion of State sovereignty and as a precedent might
prove highly dangerous. Now, this is new
doctrine, and teaches even Virginia a lesson of
State rights which destroys her Constitutional
guarantee of protection by the United States
against “invasion” by Abolition fanatics from oth
i r States. They are not from any foreign country,
■3r are they Indian tribes. The fanatics from free
States, such as John Brown and Stevens, he
says, in effect, are not invading the United States
when invading Virginia ; they are not “from any j
foreign nation or Indian tribe,” rendering it law- i
ful for the President to employ the Federal forces ;
to repel such invasion.
These are alarming doctrines to the invaded j
States. And however the argument or the error
may be between the President and your Executive, j
this, at least, is clear—that if I am right in my j
views of our guarantee of protection in the case !
before us, imminent as it is, he, the Executive of
the United States, does not concur with me, and
will not euforce the protection we need; and, on
the other hand, if he is right, and we cannot le
gally claim that the United States shall keep the
peace between States, and guarantee one State
against invasion from another, the Federal Execu
tive cannot interpose to repel or prevent the inva
sion. In either case wea are clearly thrown on our
self-dependence. We must rely on ourselves, and
fight tor peace! I say, thenjto your tents! Or
ganise and arm!
The constitutional guarantee of protection is
withheld, while we are invaded from all around,
and inis withholding will inspirit the sympathisers
in felony against our property and lives. To defend
ourselves and suppress sympathy in insurrection
—which must multiply felons against our peace
and safety, and it they did not intend invasion be
fore, will make them enact it jow, under this con
struction of State-rights to disturb, and State
rights to defend the public peace—we will need all
our forces for the conflict. I therefore recommend
to you more energetic measures than the President
compliments me for adopting on the side of peace
against invasion
I repeat:
Ist. Organize and arm.
2d. Demand of each State in the Union what
position she means to maintain for the future in
respect to slavery and the provisions of the Con
stitution and laws of the United States, and the
provisions'of State laws for its protection in our
Federal relations, and be governed according to
the manner in which the demand shall be answer
ed. Let us defend our own position, or yield it at
once. Let us have action and not resolves—de
finitive settlement, and no more temporising the
Constitution, and no more compromise.
John Brown, the leader of the mvastou of Har
per’s Ferry, was executed, according to the sentence
of the Court, on the 2d inst. His body wa3 de
livered, by my request, to the sheriff'of Jefferson
county, to the orders of Major General Taliaferro,
to be guarded safely to Harper’s Ferry, and there
delivered to his widow, Mary Brown. The laws of
the Commonwealth have reigned in his arrest,
trial and execution ; and when dead, under the
sentence, they released his remains to his relatives,
to whom they have, with dignity and decency,
been handed"over.
The other convicts await execution, and will be
executed on the 16th, unless the General} Assem
bly orders otherwise. I shall be guided in my
course in respect to the reprieve, pardon or com
mutation of punishment of these, or in respect to
their execution, by your resolves. This will meet
the open invasion, but it acts only on the individ
ual convicts, and it don’t settle the question of our
peace and protection against future aggression.
To do that, we must cease to resolve, and take de
cided action. What action, is for you to decide.
I have done my part, according to the best of my
ability—and it remains onlv for me to offer myself,
all that I am, and all that f have, to the Common
wealth, wherever she may order me or mine, in
any service, when the term of my present office
; closes,
I submit detailed recommendations in another
message. I am, most respectfully and devotedly,
Your obedient servant,
Henry A. Wise.

“My MANIPULATED GUANO having become the ac
cepted and successful rival of Peruvian Guano, 1 trust I thall
be pardoned for putting upon public record what is so univer
sally known in Baltimore, that I am solely and exclusively
the originator of this article by the use of Machinery.”—
American Farmer, 1857.
Wa sold this valuable Fertilizer last season upon well au
thenticaed reports, received from other States,and, so far as we
can learn, the experiment has been eminently successful. The
sa.es in our State show an increase of over 500 per cent, on
sales of previous years—an increase unprecedented in the sale
of hertiliztrs, which we think strong evidence of the great
value of this Guano, containing the elements necessary for
the growth of Crop aud Improvement of land, in rational pro
portions. It cannot fall to render satisfaction as long as the
article is kept up to its present standard. As a guarantee for
this, we can tuily vouch, haviDg ascertained tlioronrhly the
character and standing of Mr. John Kettleweli, of Bath,
the proprietor of this article, of which we have additional as
surance by a letter of Hon. Howell Cobb, in which he says
t lathe is a personal friend of Mr. Kettleweli, of many years
standing; and that lie can commend him in every respect as a
gentleman worthy of regard and confidence. On Cotton,
Lorn, Wheat, Outs, Root Crops, Ac., it ha produced great re
sults—lncreasing the product to a verv great extent. This
Manure is not a manufactured preparation, liable to changes
from one season to another ; but, as will Tie perceived from
the heading of this advertisement, is imported Guano of
choicest kinds, and has decided advantages over the Peruvian
Guano. First, in price second, iu containing double the
Phosphate of Lime—the element to make Crop and improve
la “d, with an abundance of Ammonia ; and thirdly, the fine
and dry condition—makit.g it ready forlmmediateu.se. Mr.
Kettleweli s enterprise has been so successful that many inti,
tations are now forced upon the public ; some mere mixtures
of doubtful Guano, hand and shovel, claiming to be Manipu
lated Guano ; other Guano with but little Phosphate of Lime,
and no Ammonia. And we think It would be well for Plant
ers to use proper discrimination. Certificates regarding the
use of this Guano, from prominent Planters of our State,
could he added; but we deem it entirely unnecessary refer
ring to Pamphlets on hand and in circulation for further in
formation. and letters at our office.
As the harbor of Bath is frequently closed by ice, obstruct
lng navigation, it would be well for our patrons and Planters
to send In their orders at once. We are expecting a supply
from Bath at an early day, and will sell at $56 per Ton for
J 0 ♦pi per Ton for No. 2. It is put up in handsome
*l. • The mode of application Is very simple—sown broad
hill or drill. In quantity as Peruvian Guano—say from
10u t j 300 pounds per acre. The more liberally it is applied,
the better for Crop and Land. Terms cash, or equivalent.

Stomach, of a morbid nature, end we are free to say that it
can be relied upon as a certain relief and remedy. Its pro

' the South.
You are overrun with a deluge of the vilest compounds,
in the form of “Alcoholic Drinks,” that ever emanated from
r that pest of society, the Liquob Mixib. They are sold to
e 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 stimulant, sold under
, Stamp and Seal, which renders it certain that it has not been
s tampered with. Such an article is CHARLES’ LONDON
CORDIAL GIN, which is distilled under inspection of the
• British Government, is delicately Savored, (unlike any other
' Gin), with some of the most valuable restoratives of the Vege
- table Kingdom, aid is by far the, most healthy beverage ex<
• tant.
15 The most eminent Physicians of Europe and America, not
only recommend its use by the hale and hearty, but preset Ibe
1 it as a medicine where a 6timulant as required.
1 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, blit
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

V inE—Wolfe s Genuine Madeira \Y r ine—^Wolfe’s Genuine
Sherry Wine—l am now supplying the Trade with Pure
COGNAC BRANDY, In Bottles, both for Medical and Pri
vate me. The Immense success which has crowned my ef
torts to place a Pure Gin within 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, far some years past, to solicit me to
pursue the same course in regard to the article of Brandy. I
should have complied with these reques s, 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 veer, (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, of 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 ; ami it will be found, when used as a medi
cine, a [leverage, 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 manu
factured imitation. Ot 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 80-called French Brandy have been scattered
annuailythrougli the land, and have been the primary cause
of murders, suic’des, cruelties, and crimes, and have sent
thousands to an early grave, self-destroyers, from delirium
tremens, manta-a-potu, and horrors, names unknown, until un
principled men began to make maddening compounds, and
sell it as the pure French Brandy.
The virtues of pure French Brandy need not be told by me.
They are known throughout the world as a medicine, or mild
stimulant. It is, as the French nation poetically .call It, “Eau
de la vie”—the water of life. But this appllesto 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 commerced Importing Brandy, bottling if, and
selling it as WOLFE’S GENUINE COGNAC BRANDY.
I am daily receiving orders from the Druggists and Apothe
caries in all parts of the Union, to sell it for medical purposes.

DALY’S
AROMATIC VALLEY
WHISKY!
IN tlila age of adulterated and deleterious Liquors It Is a
source of great satisfaction to be able to introduce to pub
lic notice the above article—an article of unquestioned purity
and possessing no qualities except such as ha”e the most favor!
able Influence on the human constitution.
A few roods of soil on the banks of the Kliine produce the
grape, which will flourish no wheieelse, from whose juice pro
ceeds the “Johannisberg," the choicest wine of the world
A few acres of iani in Cuba produce a Tobacco, the flavor
and quality of which, when manufactured Into Segars are In
comparably superior to that of the product of any other soil
And a nariow strip of land in the Parish of Natchitoches In
Louisiana, has long supplied the world with a super excellent
article of Snuff, from such Tobacco as cannot be induced to
grow elsewhere. »
In like manner, it has long been known that a limited ten!
tory, lying in the valley of the Monougahela river, exclusive
ly brings forth a Rye, of properties so marked and pecu lar
that its distillation produces a Whisky of such superlative
character as places it beyond rivalry.
By a process recently olscovered, and now known only to
my manufaclurer, the grain from (he choicest spot of this fa
vore i locality is made to yield the AROMATIC VALLEY
WHISKY', with whi h no other can stand an instant’s com
parison.
t have no apprehension of being accused of publishing un
warrantable, or even exaggerated encomiums, by any one who
will first subject my Whisky to the test.
It is now the standard article at all the first class Hotels and
Clubs in the city of New York; and wherever it is Introduced
it at once assumes Us leading position ; Is awarded the Palin
of Superiority ; and the demand for It becomes a thing estab
lished.
Its medicinal properties are such that, while its Immediate
effects are pleasant, and grateful, It exercises the happiest per
manent Influence upon th • constitution.
I have analyzed a sample of DALY’S AROMATIC VAL-
LhYWRISK.Y’, and fi d it to be a pure article, of fine flavor
and without any deleterious admixture.

-dJeor Sir : RRODEa’ SUPERPHOSPHATE has-been
applied by me this year, on a small scale, to both Corn and
Cotton. The result exeeeced my expectation, although the
experiments, for many reasons, were not, and could not be
conducted with due caution ; yet, 1 am entirely satisfied that
the growth of Weed, in both instances, and the fruit in Corn
and in the number of bolls of Cotton, were fully double the
yield In portions unmanured, and this when only a table
spoonful of the Super-Phosphate was applied as a top-dress!
ing to each hill of Corn, and a tea-spoonful to e ieh stalk of
Cotton—and the last as late In the season as the 18th of .Julv
Some of the Weed grew to nine feet high, with six feet
branches, covered with bolls, while the unmanured was not
half so good. It is my intention next year to test it more fill
ly. Very respectfully,

Seed Cotton per acre, without Manure. The result is entirely
satisfactory. I have made at least 450 to 800 pounds to the
acre on this very poor land. I expect to purchase from sto 8
tODS for my spring crop. My Overseer wishes me to put his
name to this also.
Yours, in great hsste.
