>lisc"s aco > ..\tracl'. Pilgrima ;t to the Temp!*of Juggernaut— The grand Temple in which the idols ;irc lodged is a very high t er in the i iddie oi’ the square; trom its gre it elevation it forms a conspicuous lan 1 nark to the sailor coming from ihtf'erent parts of the world. Its form is square for the distance of two thirds; from thence it decreases by a slight curve to the top, thus it follows the usual configuration ol Hindoo temples, it is al so fluted in this part. On the top of this is a j large circular flat black stone, cut like a melon, j On tho summit of this stone is the Chucker or j wheel; the distinguishing symbol of Nishnu, and j precisely resembling the wheel of a ship s rud- j tier. The whole surrounded by flags and pen nons of the appropriate colours of the god in whos- honour they are displayed. The con course of pilgrims is great, but every third, sixth, j and twelfth year (each of progressive and higher j satv. tit v) the numbers increase prodigiously, al- i though the custom is somewhat oil the decrease. [ The common years vary from 33 to 70,000. In j one year, which was the twelfth, the numbers ! amounted to 131,574, as at other holy spots, a I visit to which is enjoyed by the religion ol the Hindoos, every one who is suppose to be able must pay for his entrance. The modes are va- i rious by which the devotees consider they ren der their piety more striking and propitiatoiy. One is to measure the road from their homes to the temple, by the lengths of their body: this is literally accomplished by laying themselves along the ground; and where their hands extend ed to, at that spot they stand up, and then lay another length in advance. —When it is consid ered that some of those deluded creatures came five, six, and eight hundred miles, the mind can form some idea of the extraordinary penances which the Indian devotee voluntarily imposes upon himself. For some days previous to, and during the great festival, every spot and street of Pooree is thronged by my raids. I)eat h woi ks his will among the. crowd, aided by sickness and want, but the faith of the pdgrims issostron that it rather courts the approaches ot the <1 - tioyer in such holy precincts, in the believed alu.'ration of their souls into the essence of the Supr me at eac • a holy place: Pooree, atler the f. -t, is tustly described by ail eye-witness to tie a Golgotha; really ‘without metaphor, u is a place- of sculls. Between the town and the j sen, luman bones and skeletons were seen at! every step. The scriptural phrase of “Get the 1 dead bury their dead” was brought into mind, for except in the maws of dogs, kites, and j&ck als, th - dead here have no sepulchre the sick ening disgust produced by the frequent sights of man “led C orpses, or of voracious animals con tending for their horrid food, is beyond Tecit 1. Tho Government derive a revenue from the vis its of pilgrims, which amount to 50,000 rupees a year clear, For the support ol the temple it allows 50,000 rupees annually, and has allotted land to the value of 16,000 more. By taking and active part in support, where, ‘f it did not rather discountenance, it ought to remain a ne i iral spectator, it gives an importance to the sub ject which otherwise it would not boast :—Ar cher,s Travels in Upper India.—Tennessee Jour nal. Large Gnus.— The largest guns ever fired are the'rurkish cannon at Dardanelles, the di unieter of one of which is two feet three inches, imd a stone shot from which struck the Winsor Castle, of 88 guns, and cut her mainmast almost in two, and nearly knocked her two decks into one. Our young midshipmen u~cdlo crawl in to these guns on their hands and knees. \ gun almost as large was found at Algiers. Rut tin largest shot ever fired of any sort by Europe ms, was that from the new mortar used by the French at Antwerp. This shell was two feet in diame fer, and weighed when empty, Sl6 lbs. It con tained 98lbs, of powder, and its total weight was consequently lOOolbs. The mortar from which it was discharged weighed 3,7001b5. and the aunpowdei to load it was 30lbs. This is prodi gious. We must add, that at the Dardanelles one of the great Turkish shot struck the bows of that magnificent first rate ship the Royal George, and wonderful to relate, that one shot alone'nearly sunk her. According to the Baron de Tot, the weight of the Turkish shot was l.OUOlhs and the charge of gunpowder 330ibs.

Her foot might have touch ed him somewhere, but she positively denied having kicked him.

Extraordinary Cure. —On the 21st, tilt, a negro lad, the property of Mr. Dunstan Banks, near this place, as he was returning from vvoik, about dark was bitten bv a Rattlesnake, so se verely that in a few moments en tirely blind and he fell down —her.was carried to the house, when a messenger was despatched for Doctor James Guild, who, in about an hour afterwards reached Mr. Batiks.’ At the time of his arrival, the boy was suffering the most excrusiating agony, when he had a common black or junk bott'e about half tilled with the Spirits of Turpentine, made quite warm, and al ter scarifying the wound made by the Snake, applied the mouth of the bottle to it, and com menced pouring cold water on the bottle until the contents were perfectly cooled. In about half an hour, and before the bottle were remo ved from the wound the boy became perfectly easv am! fi li mto a sleep. Next day he was able to walk about, and the day following he was at work as usual. We could recommend this simple and easy application, as it is in the power of almost every one to procure it sooner than almost anv other, and its immediate effiea cv is a great consideration. Any spirtuous li no vs would have the same effect; and even if that could not he immediately procured, warm water iro’dd answer a very good purpose.

But w ill the freemen of Georgia be led into this mca sun', “ dumb as the lamb before his shearer,” and yield up the right of the majority to govern, a right of all otters most dear lo them,while they claim to live under a republi can form of government. A right when parted with, will lie an aristocratic triumph, over long established ilemocrnsy , which by one aingli* net of Yaioo legislation, may be changed into monarchy. But let us resort to proof ot the position. It is known that the lower part of the state is a sandv, barren, poor section of country, with an ex tensive region of pine land, which is thinly populated, in winch many counties arc included, that docs not con tain more than from fifty, to two hundred voters Now suppose the state to be equally divided, one half the coun ties to contain a population of (hi* sort, and the othv half of the counties, to contain a population sufficient to vote from one, to two thousand; is there any justice in shying, that Telfair and Appling counties, only able to vote three or four hundred strong; shall have the same influ- i cnee in the Senate with Lumpkin and Cherokee, which 1 will in all probability rote from three, to four thoussnd. ■ Suppose the weaker bwer counties, has one county ma- j jority, do you not then see, the noose into which you have sliped your heads, ftliey were then disposed to tax you ; doubly and thribly, what you now pay, they can do it | against you.* will, anc then appropriate the money to the op ning of Roads ana :ui.i!s,o. to the erection of public buildings, bridges, causewa vs, &c. which they alone could ever be benefited by. You would have to submit, or the people in the up country, would have to nullifv the proceedings of the minority, and let the majonty govern again. This objection to the apportionment of the Sen ate, you see is plausible, and we will endeavor to show some equally objectionable to that of the other branch of the Legislature. Suppose you ratify, and adopt the pro ceedings of the Convention, destroy the federal basis of representation, you wilt then give the power into the hands of the few, lo govern the many, in thatbranch of the State Legislature. If you will turn to the representative 1 population,as ctuslo "1 from the census of 1831, and j compare it with tlic plan of reductioh now proposed to ■ you, it will be seen on a fair calculation made upon facts, that the fifteen counties, entitled to three representatives, and the twelve counties entitled to two representatives, e ch, containing a free white population *f IS), 6SI will have but sixty-nine representatives, whit” the remaining sixty two counties, containing alike population of 133, 614, will have seventy-five representarives. You will discover from IMs calculation, that a population of 133 thousand, 614, will have a majority of 13, in the house of representatives, over a population of 191, 681.

GARRISON, Chairman. JAMES LAW, Secretary. Communicated. THE MIGHTY WORKSHOP. July 25th 1833. Mr. Editor —As you live a considerable dis tance from this here place, and belong to the fraternity of news promulgators, permit one of the superintendants tew, and feeble aids, to give you the details of recent occurrences here, for the information of your readers. You know Mr. Editor that I am one of the Executive aux iliaries, and so much : n the confidence of the “superinlendant,” that there is but little done about the work shop except what is laid before’me, and my opinion first consulted together with Mr. Cuthherts, and I believe in my soul that the Governor has more confidence in my Judge- 1 ment now, than he has in Cuthbert’s, Polhill’s, and the whole sinackin of em besides, because; they all told him he ought to discharge the Mis sionaries, to avoid coming in collision with the j Supreme Court, as that might tend to distroy j old Hickry, and Mr. Yan Boren’s prospects j down east. The Governor asked me one day, | when 1 was copying ono at them letters from tlu- dictators of New York, wlmt I thought on it, and 1 told him he would have enough to do to attend to his ow n hook, and it he went to catch in” fish for other folks; that the first thing he knew, ho would have but a small fry for himself, but he then believed Mr. t uthbert, General Coilee, and Judge Schley, could out manage the Jews, and he vvoukient mind me, and turned the Missionaries out, and Mr. (_ uthbert wrote a damning proclamation for him, tellingthc people why he done so. The Governor give me the proclamation to copy, and when 1 had got through says he, well what do y ou think ol that, why says I, Governor hit wont do for the statements yon know arc Jist as crooked, as the hand write are, but says he Mr. Cuthbert, says, that the Mis sionaries will be so glad to be turned loose, that they will acknowledge that they did do, all that is here stilted. But says I, does Cuthbert know this. O yes, says he, they have promised Cuth bert and Judge Schley, and CJeneral k oftee, all that they will; and Mr. Forsyth and me had a conversation the other day, and we shall here after tie horses together. And Forsyth says, it will be the very thing to put down this new doctrine of nullification; and i elated to me a conversation which had lately been had, be tween himsell and Judge VVaytte, on the sub— ject; and told me it was Wayne’s opinion that if the Misionaries were not turned out of the Penitentiary, that the Supreme Court would make such a decision in their favor, as must cause us all to turn Nullifiers. And says he, you know that will bring us light smack in con tact with Old Hickory; and says he, the way he’s mad now about nullification, is a sin.to the Crockets. And he has so much influence in the Seuth, that he will play off a Mrs. Eaton farce upon us here, and have us all tetotatious ly excomfluctieated from office, if we don’t move the wire’s to suit him. Says I, what is the General’s object in trying to put down nul lification. The Governor said he supposed, that it was the General’s belief, that by making some noise about it,he could unite the Northern Eastern, and Western, people against the South, and says he, you know that will be three against one, says I, how! he repeated it but says I we are in the South Governor, says he never mind that if we can get the old wheel horse, on out side we need not fear consequences, even on a division in the state, well says I, go a head Crocket, and a head we went, untill we all got into this same Missionary difficulty, and when they began to bore the Governor about it from all quarters, the Governor said to me one day that are man x uthbert is not the dog he has beend cracked up to be, says I why Governor, why says he when 1 had come out in favor ol Nullification, in my correspondence with Pem berton, if he had let me alone I would have had all the Troup men now in my favor, and you know that the Clark men would have stuck to me like a leach to a niggars leg, let me have done, or ‘aid what I might, but he made me change by saying that a Union of the Clark men with the Forsyth, and Wayne influence with old Hickry at our backs, wo could beat all nature into a cock’d Hat, says I Governor perhaps Mr. Cuthbert, was right for he has considerable character for rascality and mati..gement. Says he I know he has and deservedly so too, so far as the rascality is concerned, but I begin to doubt his skill in management, no more at pres ent but remain, A ours &e. COL. TOM TROTT. FOR THE WESTERS HERALD. LUMKINIAN \ rAXACEA. All persons are hereby notified, (hat I have in the due forms of law, obtained a patent for the Lumkiniana Panacea. And all persons vending or using the same, with >ut the consent of the patentee, will have the law, in its rigor vis ited on them. That the public may not be de nied, the benefits of this important medicine, I have and will keep on hand, a full supply at “the Mighty Workshop,” where it is prepared in its purity It is almost incredible to teil its powerful ef fects, upon the political system of those who have used it. Its operations are equally power ful, as the gass upon the corporeal system, and it- duribility much greater. Thus far it promis es, to have -not only powerful but permanent ef fects. Its first application, was made about two years since, and I find in every case it has had the desired effect upon subjects, without the least necessity of repeating the dose, except in one case, when the sleightest perceptable quantity seemed to have resustated the original dose, and produced most astonishing effects. Vide Democratic Yeomans Certificate. For further particulars, I beg leave to refer the public, to the subjoincd.Certifieates, which have been voluntarily furnished me. For which, I take this occasion, to return my thanks to the certifiers, for such evidence on their part, to do justice to the patentee. At present I have only the three annexed Certificates; though the Lum kiniana Panacia, has been given to many oth ers, from whom I have had the most favorable accounts of its beneficial effects. Should others, through the same spirit of li berality, forward me their certificates, they will in due time be submitted to the public. “ All Editors friendly to the great interest of the State, will please publish the above,” to gether with the accompanying Certificates. Saperintendant of the Mighty Workshop. I certify, that I had occasion to visit the Mighty Workshop upon business connected with the Missionaries; that then, for the first time, the Superintendant told me of his prepar ation, the Lumpktniana Panacia, and of its won derful effects upon the political system. Where upon, I (rankly told him, that I was geting sick of the Id Democratic Jeffersonian doctrines, that I had always professed to believe in, from a matter of policy. That I had some cons.cien cious misgivings about making asudden change, and consulted him about what course to pursue. It seemed to strike him with perfect astonish ment I thought at first he would go into spasms; his mouth contracted so tight,that I ve rily believe, one could not have driven a pea into it with a mallet. He soon however come too, and his mussels seemed to relax. The I first word be spoke was, “ a little of the Lurrm, kiniana Panada will instantly relieve y oUli £ by all moans, I would recommend you to take™ dose,” assuring me at the sartie time, that •• jf it done me no good, it would do no harm.” i I reflected for a moment, and told him I ffou |j take a little. He directly prepared me a small pill, le~s than a pepper corn, and I sxvall oHe( j it down. Its effects wore truly astonishing that night I rested much better than I had for some time; I had pleasant dreams about th ( great white house, and very soon those misgiv. ings of conscience disappeared, and instead o| those demociatic Jeffersonian doctrines, I gan to admire the writings and political creed of others so much so, that I directly renoan. ced all my old republican friends, and tool; sides with the federalists. My associates aj become changed, and I took pleasure in th ( company of those, who not two years since, 1 shunned as I did the adder. The effects of the Lumkiniana Panacea continues to increase up. on me. Before I took it, it will be recollected, that I said in a public speech, that “ I would die in the last ditch, defending constitutional in fractions.” But now, lam au admirer of th, Force Bill; the Proclamation, and really if j| 8 effects continue as it seems to promise, I have no doubt but that I shall be an advocate ere long, for a Monarchal form of government, in stead of our Republic. Given under my hand at the Presidents house on the 29th July, in the year of our Lord one Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty-three, and in the fifty-eighth year of American In dependence. DIE IN THE DITCII. I certify, that I had always previous to taking the Eumpkiniana Puna., held the following tul* my political creed: I believed in the democratic doctrines, as promulgated by Thomas Jeffer son. I was taught trom my infancy, to despL-e the federalists, and believed in the right of a State to judge of the mode and measure of re sisting nn unconstitutional law of Congress. 1 believed there was much more virtue, intelli gence and republiconism, belonging to the Troup party, than the Clark party; consequent ly, I was proud of belonging to the former. About two years since, I unfortunately took it into my head (knowing eld Hickory’s vanity; that by becoming a constant admirer ofhis, he might possibly do something for me. Accord ingly I admired and praised every thing he did, ’till I began to fear, 1 should get into premunirr, and before I went on to Congress the last time, 1 had great fears und misgivings about my situ ation. I discovered that my republican friends would not stick to me, if I pushed the figure too far. T accidentally fell in at the Mighty Workshop, and having heard of the wonderous qualifies of the Lumkiniana Panacea, I al'udcd to it in the course of conversation, and told the Superintec dnnt of the delicacy of my situation, and advis ed with him what to do. He immediately re commended me take some of the Lumkiniani : Panacea, stating at the same time, if it should cause you to cut such political somersets, as to make your biends abandon you, I can male my folks take vou up, who are as much devoted to the President as you arc; by this means, the number of vour friends will not be lessened, though they may not be of the same party,) and you will still have a eliance for President favor. I approved the logic, and told him to come on with his Lumkiniana Panacea, for 1 went now for numbers and not for principle. ll< brought me one of his little pepper-corn pills. I told him 1 intended “ to go the whole hog,” and to bring me a piece about as big as a small sat sage. Tho Superintendant returned, mul brought me a rousing dose, and I swallowed it down; the effects were instantaneous, and more powerful than gctss, So I jump about, I wheel about, T do just so, And every time I turn around, I jump Jim Crow. My rest after this was good, and all my mis givings were dispelled. I went on to Congress and 1 found the fi deral doctrines that I had been taught to despise, suited my taste exactly. I voted lor the Force Bill, and approved the Proclamation, and really believed that the state had no right to resist an unconstitutional law of Congress. The consequence at home was just as the Supeiintendant predicted. Nearly all my old political friends abondoned me; but the Workshop folks stuck to me the lighter. And it was so managed, that I was re-elected with perfect ease. So lam in statu quo, as regards Congress, and am constantly looking out for Old Hickory to reward me. Given at Milledgeville on the first Monday in May, 1833. JIM CROW. I certify, that I commenced my political course without any fixed piinciples of my own; that I remained a sort of fence politician 6n some years, (though the Troup party claimed me) that I did promulgate to the world that “I was clay in the hands of the potter;” meaning thereby, that I was ready to get down on either side ol the fence, oi in other words, I was m market, and the highest bidder took me. When the contest come on between Gevemor Gilmer and the incumbent, alias, the Superintendant ol the Mighty Workshop, I wanted office myselfi and knew that the Troup party was in the ma jority in the Legislature. Some reports had got out, that I had voted for the Superinten dant, &c. about which I grew uneasy, and as sured my friends that I had not done so, and that I could, and would get certificates, that I had voted for Gilmer. The Legislature of 1831, soon thereafter met, and I suffered my name to run before them tor office, and ws s easily beaten. Whereupon I grew sick, and walked about the State House for some time, undetermined which political party I would act within future. I thought seriously about the Lumpkiniana Panacea, for I had heard of it® wonderful effects upon men in my situation. * finally concluded there could be no harm u> eonsullingthe Superintendant about my case. So the first good opportunity, I stepted into the Mighty Workshop, and unbosomed myselffrec* 1y to him. He directly told me that mine was a desperate case, and by all means, I ought t° take a pill of the Lumkiniana Panacea*
