VOL. XXXII. MACON, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12. 1858. NO. 16. From the N. Y. Herald of the 6th II, f impend* 11 *! Political ConvnI ' ,jon on tl ,e Slavery (Question. perceive that the comprehensive basis , : c h Jrc have suggested as the true ground V ^promise upon which to settle the Kansas Jacnltyi meets with a cordial response from conservative democratic journals, virthand Scuth. And why not ? From the •.pdon of the federal constitution, including ^fsltvciy compromises of that magna chart a Lm to this day. as we have shown, every \. ;tment of the slavery question has been this basis of sectional equivalenfs, or mu- ■;,j rt ncc6sions as between the North and the V'.i,, And. talk as we may of “popular so- . - juty,” the “people’s rights,” and all such the paramount difficulty in the case ns lies between these two questions:— • what will the North lose by consenting •tc admission of Kansas as a slave State tl secondly, what reparation can be expect ^ v,V the South for the refusal to admit Kansas riAiier pro-slavery constitution? I, is well known that even if Kansas should jj admitted under her Lecompton constitution itaout modification^ restriction, or amend- - at, she cannot continue longer than a year j: , i ss a slave State, with nine tenths of her population opposed to slavery. On the other '.U the repudiation of the Lecompton con (ttatien by Congress will be tantamount to i ; tree from the North that the institution of jjjthern slavery shall go no farther—that the wl compromise plan of a slave State and a free «::!e is abolished; that there shall be no more jjve States; but that the South, henceforth ;t>t depend entirely upon the protecting pow- p pad abounding grace of her Northern mas- tas. It is only in this view of the case that we ta discover the tremendous contingencies that in involved in this Kansas difficulty. The Lewmpton constitution, through a regularly i:iorized election, has been adopted with the jlirerv clause. By default of the free State i-ty,' Kansas has thus been officially organ jed a a slave State, and as such she now a tits her admission into the Union. Her re in. therefore, will be a Congressional edict Jjuat tbc South of the most decisive charac ter. for. from that moment the organic law of t; South will be the law of submission—abso- ia submission—to the will of an overwhelm- jg Northern majority. The prestige of South- rz rights and the time-honored principle of Saltern concessions will be trampled under Lot with the rejection of the Lecompton eon- iiKtion, and the law of the strong arm will persede those fraternal obligations upon rich the Northern and the Southern States u: into this confederacy. P "fill the men of the Southern States submit | nslij ? IVe may be mistaken, but we appre- : J that they will not submit to the rejection * Kins a* as a slave State; but that they will wat all attempts to set aside this Lecompton tastitution with the desperate resolution of ■a defending the last rampart which lies be t»«n them and a fierce and implacable ene sj. IVe apprehend that the Southern men in Cagtws have the will and the courage neces- 117 to make this Lecompton constitution the k: question between the Union as it stands cAseparate Southern confederacy; but, on •Pr other side, wn are well aware that it will difficult to secure the Northern men that vli be needed as voluntary martyrs to the pul cause of sectional conciliation and peace. LA- for example, at Mr. Senator Pugh, of 'f«- He desires to support the administra te: but he desires, also, to keep on the side of his constituents. Hence he tries tie oft-repeated, but always foolish experi- of carrying water on both shoulders. He provides, therefore, in his bill, both for the L;tion and the rejection of the Lecompton tastituticn. But we can tell Mr. Pugh, and all other Pattern members of Congress, that they ?t either support or oppose the Lecompton restitution. If they prefer the chances of a •T-Ac'.ion to the peace of the Union, so be it; out if they are ready, like Curtius, to leap into •gulf for the sufety of Rome, let them come forward. Every great cause, every great - Tfmcnt. every great principle, every great Jution in bebaif of kings, nations and pco- i t. has had, and must have, its list of martyrs, voluntary and involuntary. Thus, without rrag further back, a host of martyrs were re- ptGtoinakc good the Missouri compromise u !• ^ respectable catalogue suffered in •-^alt of the great adjustment of 1850.

In the Autumn of 1722. when New York Tome VT 8,000 ^habitants, and possessed some of the characteristics of a Dutch city, an English seaport, anew settlement, a garrison ed town, and a vice-ioyal residence, there used to walk about its narrow winding streets, among its Dutch traders, English merchants, Indians, officers and soldiers, a young man whose appearance was in marked contrast with that of the passers-by. His tall, slender, slight ly stooping figure was clad in homespun par son s gray. His face, very pale, and some what wasted, wore an aspect of singular refine ment. and though but 19 years of age, there was in his air and manner the dignity of the mature and cultivated man. This was Jonathan Edwards, who had just come from studying divinity at Yale College, to preach to a small congregation of Presby terians in the city. New York had an ill name at tha* time among the good people of New England. “The Dutch of New York and New Jersey,” said one of them, “are little bet ter than the savages of our American deserts.’ Jonathan Edwards was sent by a company of clergymen to this desperate place, much in the spirit of those who, at the present day, send missionaries to Oregon or to the mining dis tncts of California. Everything was adverse to the spread of his faith at that time in New York, and the young clergyman, after a residence of only a few mouths, went home to resume his studies. Dearly loved and highly prized by some mem bers of his little congregation in New York Le certainly was ; but there is no reason to sup pose that the preaching of the greatest Ameri can clergyman attracted the slightest attention from the unintellectual citizens of the place. 1 et a happier, a more exultant youth, never trod the shores of this island than ^Jonathan Edwards.. He had grasped the tenets of his sect not with the languid assent with which an inherited creed is frequently received, hut with that eager enthusiastic love which accom panies original conceptions. To him they were the most real of all realities. His man ner was very calm, and gentle. He spoke little, and kept apart from the bnsy life of the city. But the light of perfect benevolence and rapt devotion rested upeu his noble, thought laden countenance, and a profound enthusiasm auimated his heart. Of his life in New York he writes in after years a brief account, which still exists to re veal to a canting age a soul devoted to the ob ject of its love. How touching is this extract: “If I heard the least hint of anything that hap pened in any part of the world that appeared, m some respect or other, to have a favorable aspect on the interest of Christ’s kingdom, my soul eagerly catchcd at it; and it would much animate and refresh me. I used to he eager to read public news letters, mainly for that, end; to see if I could not find some ncics favorable to the interest of religion in the world. I very fre quently used to retire into a solitary place, on the banks of Hudson’s river, at some distance from the city, for contemplation on divine things and a secret converse with God ; and had ma ny sweet hours there. Sometimes Mr. Smith and I walked there together, to converse on the things of God; and our conversation used to turn much on the advancement of Christ’s kingdom in the world, and the glorious things that God would accomplish for his church in the latter days. I had then, and at other times, the greatest delight iu the holy Scriptures, of any book whatsoever. Oftentimes in reading it, every word seemed to touch my heart. I felt a harmony between something in my heart and those sweet and powerful words. L seem ed often to sec so much light exhibited by every sentence, and such a refreshing food communicated, that I could not get along in reading; often dwelling long on one sentence to see the wonders contained in it; and yet almost every sentence, seemed to be full of wonders.” Through the obsolete phraseology of this pas sage, one easily discerns a fine disinterested ness of character which, unless the human race should become wholly debased, can never be come obsolete. Of the religion called the “evangelical” he was, perhaps, the most perfect exemplification that ever existed. The child was father of the man. We see him, as a boy of teu, building a booth in a swamp near his father’s house, to which he and # two of his companions used to go regularly to pray. In his eleventh year, we read of his demonstrating, with a sort of solemn jocularity, the absurdity of an opinion which had beeo advanced by a boy of his own age, that the soul was material, and remained in the body till the resurrection. At twelve, we find him beginniug a letter to one of his sisters thus : “Through the wonderful good ness and mercy of God, there has been in this place a very remarkable outpouring of the Spirit of God.” He proceeds to inform his sis ter that he “has reason lo think it is in some measure diminished, but he hopes not much, and that above thirty persons came commonly' on Mondays to converse with father about their souls.” At the same time he exhibited in things not religious, an intelligence truly re markable. He wrote, in his twelfth year, an elaborate description of “the wondrous way of the working of the forest spider,” which shows that he possessed a rare talent for the observation of nature. One of the greatest of natural philosophers was lost to the world when Jonathan Edwards became a theologian. At thirteen ho was one of the thirty-one students who, in 181G, composed Yale College, and there occurred the events which decided his career. “Toward the latter part of my time at college,” he wrote, “it pleased God to seize me with the pleurisy, in which he brought mo nigh to the grave, and shook me over the pit of hell.” Alarmed, the exemplary youth “made seeking salvation the main business of his life” with the usual evangelical result. The other event was for his country and the Protestant world, far more important. It was his recep tion of what theologians call the doctrine of election. From his childhood np, as he himself records, his ingenuous mind had revolted from the Idea of “God’s choosing whom he would to eternal life, any 1 ejecting whom he pleased, leaving them eternally to perish and be everlastingly tormented in hell." But the time came when he thought he believed this doctrine. He could not tell how, or why. One sudden conviction flashed upon bis mind, and what bad once seem ed a horrible doctrine, he contemplated with delight. Henceforth the leisure of his life and the best efforts of his intellect were devoted to its elucidation. His treatise on the “Free dom of the Will," by which he is chiefly known to the recent world, is an ingenious attempt to make tLat reasonable which, not through his reason, he had himself received. To recon cile the orthodox tenets with the facts of na ture and the reason of man is the task at which the brain of New England grew large and the chest narrow. Of those who have Jived and died in that vocation, the greatest and the best was Jonathan Edwards. The Edwards’ stock is famous in New Eng land. The remotest ancestor of the race was _ London clergyman in the reign o): Queen Elizabeth. Three generations, of worthy, sub stantial persons, his descendants, in lived Con necticut. From Jonathan Edwards a surpris ing number of distinguished individuals have descended; men of worth, talent and station : women, beautiful, accomplished aud gifted. Histories of the United States have been writ ten in which his name does not occur: but up on every person reared since his day in New- England he has made a disccrnable impression, and he influences, to this hour, millions who never heard his name. The thing he chiefly did in his life was this: the church and the world, two hostile bodies, were beginning, as it were, to relent one toward auother, to ap proach, to mingle, Joqathan Edwards, with Ins subtle, feminine intellect and resolute will, threw himself between the bodies, kept them apart, made more distinct than ever the line of demarkation, and rendered compromise be tween the two, perhaps, for ever impossible. Such a man was the father of Aaron Burr’s mother. From La Pays of Paris. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. Thrilling account of tbc relief of Xjudmoir. Calcutta, Oct. 8.—I give the following ac count of the relief ofLueknow, as described by a lady, one of the rescued party : “On every side death stares us in the face; no human skill could avert it any longer. We saw the moment approach when we must bid farewell to earth, yet without feeling that un utterable horror which must have been experi enced by the unhappy victims at Cawnporc. we were resolved rather to die than to yield, and we were fully persuaded that in twentv- four hours all would be over. The engineers had said so, and all knew the worst. We wo men strove to encourage each other, and to perform tbc light duties which had been assign ed to us, such as conveying orders to the bat teries and supplying the men with provisions, especially cups of coffee which we prepared day and night. I had gone out to try to make myself useful, in company with Jessie Brown, the wife of a corporal in my husband’s regiment. Poor Jessie had been in a state of restless excitement throughout the siege, and had fallen away visibly within the last few days. A constant fever consumed her, and her mind wandered occasionally, especially that day, when the recollections of home seem ed powerfully present to her. At last, overcome with fatigue, she lay down on the ground wrapped up in her plaid. I sat beside her, promising to awaken her when, as she said, “her father should return from the plowing.” She fell at length into a pro found slumber, motionless, aud, apparently, breathless, her head resting in my lap. I my self could no longer resist the inclination to sleep, in spite of the continual roar of the can non. Suddenly I was aroused by a wild un earthly scream close to my ear ; iny compan ion stood upright beside me, her arms rais ed, and her head bent forward in the attitude of listening. A look of intense delight broke over her countenance, she grasped my hand drew ine towards her, and exclaimed, “Diana ye hear it ? Diana” ye hear it ? Ay, I’m no dreamin, its the slogan, a,’ the Highlanders! We’re saved, we’re saved!” Then flinging her self on her knees, she thanked God with pas sionate fevor. I felt utterly bewildered ; my English ears heard only the roar of artillery, and I thought my poor Jessie was still raving, but she darted to the batteries, and I heard her cry incessantly to the men, “Courage! courage; hark to the slogan—to the Macgrc- gors the grandest of them a'; Here’s help at last!” To describe the effect of these words upon the soldiers would be impossible. For a moment they ceased firing, and every soul lis tened in intense anxiety. Gradually, however, there arose a murmur of bitter disappointment, aud the wailing of the women who had flocked to the spot, burst out anew as the Colonel shook his head. Our dull lowland ears heard lothing but the rattle of the musketry. A few moments more of this death-like sus pense, of this agonizing hope, and Jessie who hail sank on the ground, sprang to her feet and cried, in a voice so loud and piercing that it was distinctly heard along the whole line, “Will ye no believe it noo? The slogan has ceased, indeed, but the Campbells arc cornin’! D’ye hear ? d’ye hear ?’’ at that moment we seemed to hear indeed the voiee of God in the distance, when the pibroch of the Highlan ders brought us tidings of deliverance. That shrill ceaseless sound, which rose above all other sounds, could come neither from the ad vance of the enemy, nor from the work of the Sappers. No, it was indeed the blast of the Scottish bag-pipes—now shrill aud harsh as threatening vengeance on the foe—then in soft er tones, seeming to promise succor to their friends in need. Never, surely was there such a scene as followed: Not a heart in the resi dency of Lucknow but buried itself before God. AH by one simultaneous impulse fell up on their knees, and nothing was heard but bursting sobs and the murmured voice of pray er. Then all arose, and there rang from a thousand lips great shouts ofjoy which resound ed far and wide, and lent new vigor to that blessed pibroch.—To our cheer of “God save the Queen!” they replied by the well known strain that moves every Scot to tears. “Should Auld Acquaintance be Forgot.” After that lothing else made any impression on me; I carcely remember what followed. Jessie-was presented to the General on his entrance into the fort, and at the officers’ banquet her health was drank by all present, while pipers march ed around the table playing once more the fa miliar air of “Auld Lang Syne.” A Romance of Heal Life. The following incident which we extract from the Journal, published at Bucyrus, Craw ford county, Ohio, claimed to be strictly true, possesses sufficient romance to make half a dozen novels:— In Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, seven years ago, lived a wealthy fanner, who was blessed with six children, the eldest of which was a beautiful girl of seventeen summers. A young man in the neighborhood, of a good family, feigned attachment to her. Young and inexperienced, she fell into the snare eet for her. Shortly after her ruin was accom plished, the young man fearing the wrath of ler father, when the consequences of his vil lainy should become apparent, absconded.— The young girl now felt the full horror of her situation, which she could conceal but a short time, and her destroyer had fled. She could not, dared not endure the shame and reproach that would attach to her when all should be discovered. She determined to leave the country also, and preferring to be considered as dead, matured a plan to cheat her parents into the belief that she had been drowned. A creek ran through her father’s farm and emp tied into the Susqucanna. a short distance away. At this time of year (spring) it was swolen by freshets, and it was dangerous to venture upon the frail bridge of a plank that had been thrown across it. One evening, when the water was very high, she proposed going to a neighbor’s, who lived across the creek. Her father objected, on the ground of danger, but insisting that she could get over safely, she seized her bonnet and started.— She had previously secreted a few articles of clothing outside, which she took with her.— Arriving at the bridge, she threw her bonnet into the stream, well knowing that it would be caught on the bushes that overhung the stream, and hurrying on, soon gained the road, and walked away in the direction of Harris burg. The consternation of the family, after a lapse of two or three hours, may be imag ined. One went to the house she started for, but she had not been there. It was supposed immediately that she had fallen off the bridge. Search was made, and her bonnet found lodg ed on some overhanging willows. Sadly they returned to the bereaved home. Doubt was at an end. She had fallen from the frail bridge, had been drowned, and her body carried by the angry flood into the river. Shortly after her supposed death, her father, upon whose mind the event weighed heavily, wishing to leave the scene of his affliction, sold his farm and removed to this county. In the meantime she had reached Harrisburg, taken the cars west, and in a few days found herself at the only tavern in a secluded village in the interior of Michigan. The landlady was a kind hearted woman, and at that particular time was in need of an assistant. She heard the story of the poor girl—sympathized with her, and liking her appearance, insisted on her making that her home, In this house she passed six years of contentment. Her hostess introduced her as a widow ; she gained friends, and received many advantageous offers of mar riage. One morning, about six mouths ago, she was in the sitting room when the sti.ge drove up. The windows of the coach were down, and she could see most of the passengers.— Among them was a face that seemed familiar to her. She looked again, and with a shriek, fell fainting on the floor. It was her betrayer, The landlady soon learned how matters stood, and determined that justice should be done, Sbe sought him, told him the facts, and insist ed that he should repair the injury he had in flicted, by making her his wife. To this he at once consented. Three.months after his flight from Pennsylvania, seized with remorse, he had started back with the intention of mar rying her. On the way, he had picked up a uewspaper which contained an account of her tragical death. Feeling that he was the cause of her untimely end, heart-sick and sad, lie turned back, a changed, and better man. He had settled down, accumulated property, and was a man of standing and influence. The joy of the girl, when she met her repentent lover, may be imagined. They were married that evening, and the next morning started for Pennsylvania. Ascertaining the address of her father, they came to this place as fast as steam could carry them. Words cannot paint the raptures of the old man as he clasped to his bosom>a daughter he had mourned as dead for six years. Explanations were made, all was forgiven, and after passing a few weeks of unalloyed happiuess here, they returned to their home in the west.” From Parton’s Life of Burr. Durr on the Morning of tiie Duel WITH HAMILTON. The evening previous to the fatal rencontre, he passed in writing letters to his daughter and her husband. They show no misgivings, no signs that aught within his nature revolted against the morrow’s deed. Late at night he threw off his upper garments, lay down upon a couch in his library, and in a few minutes was asleep. The next morning at daybreak Jno Swartout entered the room and saw his chief still lying on the couch. Well as he knew the coolness of Col. Burr, he was astonished to find that he was in a deep and tranquil slumber. “He awoke the man who had bet ter never again have opened eyes his upon the light of the world.” An incident related by Mr. Parton presents a striking illustration of Burr’s destitution of the usual human suscep tibilities. On the morning of the duel, it chanced that one of Burr’s cousins arrived in town from Connecticut, and made his way, about8 o’clock, to Richmond Hill. Alexis, the factotum of the establishment, obeyed his summons at the door, and showed him into the library, where he found Col. Burr alone, and engaged in his usual avocations. Burr received his young relative cordially, and in every respect as usu al. _ Neither in his manner nor in his conver sation was there any evidence of excitement or concern, nor anything whatever to attract the notice of his guest. Except the master of the house, not a soul in Richmond Hill yet knew aught of that morning’s work ; nor in deed could it be said, in any sense of the word, that the master himself knew what he had done. In a few minutes breakfast, was announced, and the t)vo gentlemen went to the dining room and breakfasted together. The conver sation was still quite iu the ordinary strain, Burr inquiring alter friends in the country, the youth giving the information sought. After breakfast, the gust bade his host good-morn ing, and strolled off toward the city, which he reached about 10 o’clock. As he walked down Broadway, he fancied lie observed in passers-by the signs that something extraor dinary had occurred or was expected. Near Wall street, an acquaintance rushed up to him, breathless, and said: . Col. Burr has killed Gen. Hamilton in a duel this morning.” “Why, no.he hasn’t," replied the young gentleman, with the utmost positiveness, “ 1 have just come from there aud taken break fast with him.” But,” replied the other, “ I have this mo ment seen the news on the bulletin.” The cousin, reflecting for a moment on the absolute serenity of Burr’s manner, and con cluding that he would certainly have mention ed so interesting an occurrence if it had taken place, was still utterly incredulous, and, de nouncing the report as false, went on his way. Before turning into Wall street, he found the whole city astir, and soon had jeason to sus pect that the bulletin was only too true. So completely could Burr command his features and conceal his feelings. D.R. MORSE’S INDIAN ROOT PILLS. D E. MORSE, the inventor of Morse’s Indian Itoot Pills lias spent the greater part of his life in travelling, having visited Europe, Asia and Africa as woll as North America—has spent three years among tho Indians of our Western country—it was in this way that the Indian Boot Pills were first dis covered. Dr. Moore was the first man to establish the fiict that all diseases arise from the impurity of Blood—that our strength, health and life depended upon this vital fluid. When the various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the different functions of the body, the blood loses it action, be comes thick, corrupted and diseased; thus causing all pains, sicjtncss and distress of every name; our strength is exhausted, our health we are deprived of and if nature is not assisted in throwing off the stag nant humors, the blood will become 'choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will forever be blown out. How important then that we should keep tho various passages of the body free and open. Anu how pleasant to us that we have it in our power to .put a- medicine in your reach, namely. Mo -se’s In dian Hoot Pills, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the mountainous cliffs in Nature’s garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man. One of the roots from which these Pills are made is su dorific, which opens the pores of tho skin, and as sists nature in throwing ont the finer parts of the corruption within. The second is a plant whicn is an expectorant, that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs, and thus iu a soothing manner, performs its duty by throwing of phlegm, and other humors from the lungs by copious spitting. The third is a Diuretic, which gives ease and double strength to the kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of impurity from the blood, which is then thrown ont bountifully by the urinary or water pas sage, aud which c6uld not have been discharged in any other way. The fourth is a Cathartic, aud ac companies the other properties of the pills while en gaged in purifying the blood; the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by the other outlets, are thus taken up and conveyed off*in great quanti ties by the bowels. .From the above, it is shown that Dr. Morse’s In dian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, hut be comes united with the blood, for they find way to every part, and completely rout out and cleanse the system from all impurity, and the life of the body, which is the blood, becomes perfectly healthy; con sequently all sickness and pain is driven from tho system, tor they cannot remain when the body be comes so pure and clear. The reason why people are so distressed when sick, and why so many die, is because they do not get a medicine which will pass to the afflicted parts, and which will open the natural passages for the dis ease to he cast out; hence, a large quantity of food and other matter is lodged and the stomach and in testines are literally overflowing with the corrupted mass; thus undergoing disagreeable fermentations, constantly mixing with the blood, which throws the corrupted matter through every vein and artery, un til life is taken from the body by disease. Dr. Morse's Pills have added to themselves victory up on victory, byrestoring millions of the sick to bloom ing health and happiness. Yes, thousands who have been racked and to/mented with sickness, pain and anguish, and whose feeble frames have been scorch ed by the burning elements of raging fever and who have been brought, as it were, within a step of the silent grave, now stand ready to testify that they would have been numbered with the dead had it not been for this great and wonder.ul medicine, Morse's Indian Roo : Pills. After one or two doses had been taken, they were astonished, and ab solutely surprised, in witnessing their charming ef fects. Not only do they give immediate ease and strength, and take away all sickness, pain aud an guish but they at onco go to work at the foundation of the disease which is the blood. Therefore it will be shown, especially by those who use these Pills, that they will so cleanse and purify, that disease— that deadly enemy—will take its flight, and the flush of youth and beauty will again return, and the pros pects of a long aud happy life will cherish and bright en your days.

The attempts to move this monster ship were renewed on Tuesday, the 15th, but were again unsuccessful. At half past three all the chains were hove taut, including the great ables laid accross the river, and hydraulic presses and numerous screw-jacks were set in motion, but not the slightest effect was produced. When the strain was at the highest, one of sbe smaller chains gave way, and a feeder of an hydraulic engine burst. Operations were’ suspended, and at five P. M. arrangements were being made to drive in piles near the after cradle, probably with the view of fixing another press. jjiOn Wednesday morning, after a few min utes’ application to the rams, the Levithaa moved thirty-eight inches aft and fifteen inches forward, the effect being to place the vessel straight on the rails, and to remove all suspic ion of obstruction of the ways. Two hydraulic cylinders then broke, and up to half past two no further progress had been made. Mr. Robert Stephenson was again present, and ex- tressed his approval of the proceedings.— Further proceedings will probably he post poned until after Christmas, when vastly in creased power is to be employed. It is now said that the Leviathan will eost only from twenty thousand to twenty-five thousand pounds sterling in the launching— not seventy thousand or eighty thousand pounds sterling, as reported.—Liverpool Tim.es Dec.

I h(Sieve it is cheapest, by half, ever offered for tho purpose of pressing cotton or hay, as tho flame, screw, pin, and levers are all of wrought iron. It should be attach ed to tho gin house, and have it put up through the floor, as the ordinary press—the levers being only five feet in length—to have the width of tho house and 18 and 20 feet in length, the lint conld then be placed all around the screw. Then a man can take five hands and pack as many live-hundred-pound- bales in one day, with as little labor to tho hand, as the same five and two more, with a horse, can on the wood screw in the same timo. Threo hands can put up one and take it down, and it can ho carried at one load with four mules to any point.—As this is for the public eye I will give the amount of timber ne cessary for completing one: 1 piece 17 feet long 4J by 9. This to be of This makes a box nearnine feet deep with bed and follower, and all other fixtures. I furnish the iron and the work done on it at Macon, and put th 1 a- bovo lumber to it at the place where it is wanted, the purchaser furnishing the lumber and paying the freight from Macon, can have one of the handiest and cheapest cotton screws now known, its durabil ity considered, as it is given up by all who havoscen it to be a lifetime investment. I can pack five hun dred pounds with three hands—take five and there is no bard work done. Price 8150 this year. I expect, if life lasts, to have one at the next State Fair, and would ho glad to seo one of every other pattern of presses now iu use there and let the world , udge for itself. I then expect to sell tho right in any size territory that may he desired on reasonable terms, with a working model, within the limits of such county or counties, and all the information ne cessary for putting them up and working them.

DESL OXXs- The Greatest Discovery of the Age. T HIS mixture, composed of some dozen oils and extracts, is tho result of many years experi ments made by a medical man, the owner of a large number of slaves employed in exposed positions, and subject to all the ills that usually attack tho hu man family. It is found to be superior in its restora tive qualities to any mixture or compound ever pre sented to the public. It has no superior for the treat ment of any of the fallowing afflictions:— Sores anil Eruptions On the Skin, Nenraliga, Head Ache, looth Acne, Tetters, Bone Fellons, Pains of every description, Rheumatism, Sore Throat, Swol len Glands, Sore or Weak Eyes, Ear Ache, Cholic, Cramp or Pains in the Stomach, Weak Back, Spinal Affections, Sore Breasts and Cracked Nipples, Scald Head, &c. We ask for it a fair trial. We claim no magic for the workings of tills suc cessful competitor of all remedies that have been put forward for public favor. If its first application does not give relief, try the second, third or fourth, and we will guarantee the sufferer shall not he dis appointed. Where it has been introduced, it has su- jerseded DeGrath’s and all to her remedies. For resh cuts, the Eureka Oil has no equal—it almost instantly soothes pain, prevents fever, and puts the sore to healing. We challenge tho world for the deduction of its equal iu allaying pain or in the heol- hg art. It would seem superfluous to mention the wonderful cures produced in a very few minutes in the streets of Colu _ibus, when administered to a horse judged to he dying under the effects of hots, and on two other occasions when administered to mules suffering greatly with colic.
