THEATRE.
Mr. Hart opened his Theatre on Monday
evening last, with most of his old Company,
having added thereto Messrs. Whiling and
Jones from the Mobile Theatres. The per
formances t tins lur have been highly credita
ble. Mr. F. Brown as Dr. Pangloss on Mon
day evening, played to the delight of all who
were present, and Mr. Whiting, as Jafller,
on I uesday evening, gave sterling proof ol
more than ordinary abilities.
•Miss •Meadoics is again with us. She has
improved, and is still improving—a little more
study would make her a perfect astonishment
to herself. Her trip to the mountains during
the past summer has given her additional life
and animation—she dances more like a sylph,
and her voice is improved in sweetness and
strength. Mrs. Hart sustains her characters
with her usual talent, and is rising rapidly in
her profession. Mr. and Mrs. Carter, Mrs.
Brown, Messrs. Clark, Jones, Fenton, Sec.,
must excuse us til! another time.
The Pences —Will come ofl next week,
commencing on Tuesday. Mr. Scott, Horn
Alabama, arrived a few days since with a !
stable of five horses, which still more increa-j
ses the prospect for good sport. The weather
js fine and the track in good order, and un-’
less we are .quite too fond in our anticipations, j
we shall have a rare week of rare fun. Tap

STEAM DOCTORS.
The merits of this new sect of medical
practitioners, do not appear to be well under
stood bv a considerable portion of the people
of this section of our country. Too many
among us arc gulled into a belief that these
doctors offer to the world anew system, al
together more efficacious, safe and cheap,
titan that which lias borne the scrutinizing
test of ages —is the result of ihe indefatigable
researches and exertions of a host of the most
talented and learned men that have ever liv
ed, and has been in a state of progress to
wards perfection front the days ol” Hippocra
tes to the present time.
The object of this communication is, to
exhibit a very brief examination of the pre
tensions of tins self-styled new sect. And first,
I shall enquire respecting the newness of the
sect.
Has there not ever been a sect of root doc- j
tors, Itetb doctors, Indian doctors, See., who I
have claimed infallibility for curing, not only
all curable, but also all incurable diseases? and j
have not their nostrums been sought and used j
by the credulous multitude from time imme
morial to the present day? And as every in
vention, however barbarous, is susceptible of
improvement, I believe it no departure from
truth and candor to say, that. Thompsonian
isin is nothing more than the rude system Ii
have just m mtioned, improved by many use
ful additions, drawn from that regular practice
which they effect so much to despise. One
striking evidence of this source of their im
provemmt is, that nearly every medicine of
considerable efficacy described in their b inks,
is also to be found in the Materia Medica of
the regular physician. Among these is their
boasted Lobelia, which the writer of this saw
used by a regular physician more than thirty
years ago. And their all potent JYb. 6, what
is it but. tincture of Cayenne pepper and Gum
Mvrrh, articles well known in our practice
before the memory of the oldest man living.
Also, sweating, or steaming as they are pleas
ed to call it, is among our oldest remedies.—
In this catalogue I presume might be included
three fourths of the most efficient articles of
their Materia Medic.
As to the comparative efficacy of the two
modes of practice, it mav not be so easy to
decide to the satisfaction of the friends of the
steam system, ns demonstration on such a
subject is a difficult matter. But can we
readily give them credit for superior success,
when we recollect that they have condemned
and abandoned nearly all of the ost effica
cious remedies that have ever been discover
ed ? At the bead of these, I will mention
blood-letting. Can any unprejudiced man of
sense, question the efficacy of ihis remedy, in
many of the most violent and (without it) llie
roost fatal diseases? It would he difficult lo
find a man of sense and observation who can
not, on reflection, recollect many it stances in
proof of tliis fact. Indeed, it would he per
fectly useless to attempt to reason with any
one who is absurd enmuih to deny it.
The Thompsouians will tell you that sweat
ing or steaming, is a substitute equally effica
cious and much more safe. But the position
is untenable. We often find cases of violent
local inflamation and excnitiatinnr pain, while
the patient is attended with spontaneous an i
copious sweating, without any abatement, of
Ihe disease, and blood letlinor olves instant re
lief. And is it not sometimes the case, that
without blood lotting;, sweating cannot bo
produced by the most formidable means that
steam doctors can command ? I lately receiv-!
ed from the sufferer himself, an account of a
case in which the patient was almost literally
boiled and baked,for twenty-four hours, with
out any but the m ‘St alarming effects, and he
was then obliged to resort to the regular
practice for relief.
Calomel, or mercury in any form, is anoth
er agent which Ims received the unqualified
denunciation of the Thompsoninns. The a-;
huse ol this article has undoubtedly been a
source of'great affliction to many, but the
abuse of a good medicine by the ignorant or j
careless, is no objection to its use by a skilful
and careful physician.
Every medicinal article der’ved from the;
mineral kingdom, has,in like manner, suffered
the condemnatory sentence of these infallible |
doctors; and for aught I know they may he
honest in their decision. It is certainly most
charitable to believe they are so, and then
this delusion ran he accounted for only in the
following manner. Most, of these articles are
very active, and when ski 1 fully used, very ef
ficacious medicines, but in the hands of the :
ignorant or unskklul, they are unquestionably
dangerous. Having produced disastrous con
sequences in such hands, ii is no wonder that
they have been totally denounced by the
steam fraternity. It is nothing uncommon
for Ihe most sple did and useful inventions I
and discoveries, to he derided and condemned
bv a certain class of the community who arc
unable to appreciate their merits.
In regard to the safely of this practice,
much may he said. That many, or nearly
all, their remedial agents are safe when pro
perly used, lam not prepared to deny. The
safety of medicines depends much on the
qualifications of the physician who prescribes
them. It is not safe lor a man laboring un
der a dangerous disease to depend upon .the
advice of one who is ignorant of his condition,
ft is not so much the medicines of the Thomp
sonians that are so objectionable, as the qual
ifications of those who prescribe them. To
suppose that by reading two or three books,
a man of n< previous medical education, can
be qualified to practice medicine, is too absurd
to be believed, except by the most ignorant
and credulous of our race. Three or four
j years faithful study, with the best advantages,
; is always considered necessary to qualify a
man honorably to commence the practice of
medicine. Then it may with truth be said
i iliat he has barely learned the rudiments of
! his profession; a .and after tfiirty or even forty
! years of faithful study and experience, ‘ The
! patriarch pupil will he learning still.’ All this
j is not necessary toqual-
I ify a man to become popular iri the medical
| profession. Indeed, I have often thought
I that superficial men are usually the most pop
ular physicians, in consequence of their seif
conceit, pertness and loquacity. But the
: conscientious physician has a higher object in
j view than merely being popular. He feels a
I most fearful responsibility. He knows that !
! the lives of his patients are, in a great rnea
! sure, committed to his hands, and that nothing
j but a most thorough knowledge of his profes
sion, and careful application of that know
ledge in practice, will, at Ihe trihunalof his
conscience and his God, clear him from that ‘
responsibility.
Now can any man of common honesty and j
common sense believe, that paying twenty ■
dollars for a patent right, and reading two or ;
three little hooks, and one of them a verv fool-1
ish and ridiculous one, (I allude to Tiiomp- j
son’s own book,) can in any measure quality j
him for discharging the duties ol’this respon-;
sible profession ? The idea is too ridiculous
and absurd to be admitted by any consider
ate man of common sense.
J can, with a clear conscience, testify to the j
safety of a trreat proportion of their medicines
as they call them, for three-fourths of the ar
ticles of their materia medica are roots, herbs,
barks, seeds, &c. of little or rio efficacy or ac
tivity, and of course would he oniy negative
ly dangerous in the hands of the most igno
rant nurse. But their boasted Panacea, the
Lobelia, is an article of a very different char
i acter. It is doubtless a medicine of great
activity and considerable efficacy, in certain
states of the system ; but is an instrument of
too sharp an edge to lie safe in the hands of
an ignorant man. Dr. Paris, an English j
physician of great experience, and one of the
most approved authors of materia medica,
says, ‘ The effects of this plant are exceed
ingly various, depending upon the puration j
and the quantity administered. In too large j
doses, it is a deadly narcotic, producing a- j
larming prostration, uncorrtrolable vomiting, j
trembling, cold sweats and death.” Dr.
Bigelow, an American physician of high j
standing, represents its effects as analagous ■
to those of tobacco. Dr. Paris thinks l it ‘
very questionable whether its use as an enact- j
ic can he justified.’ As there is a sufficient
variety of emetics of equal efficacy and far
greater safety than the Lobelia, I can con
ceive of no necessity or even apology for us
ing it for that purpose.
In regard to the cheapness of those doctors,
I suspect their claims for patronage on that
ground are very questionable. As far as I
have had any information, their bills are cer
tainly as high as those of the regular faculty.
I have reference to those who offer them
selves as public practitioners. In their ad
vertisements, if they say ought on the subject,
it is usual for them to say, that their charges <
shall he in conformity to the custom of the 1
(acuity. There is one fact which militates
against the cheapness of their services, and
that is, their want of qualification It is al
ways bad economy to employ a physician of
inferior professional merit. A good marks
man will do better execution at one well di
rected aim, than a careless or unskillful one
will at hail” a dozen random shots. Although
1 thought myself well qualified when l enter
ed upon my professional duties, yet I verily
believe, that in difficult cases, one of my visits
now is worth as much to my patient, as half
a dozen were at that lime.
But supposing the Thompsouians have
discovered something of superior efficacy im
curing the infirmities ‘(hat flesh is heir to;
any thing like a ‘ Royal road to Geometry,’
is the regular physician debarred from the
use of it ? The Thompsonian system is to
he found upon the common book shelf in al
most every neighborhood, and is no longer
li. ld as a secret, consequently wo can become
acquainted with it without suffering ourselves
swindled out of twenty dollars; and almost
every medical man, 1 presume, either from
curiosity, or a desire to find something to ben
efit his patients, has made himself acquainted
with it. Now I would ask any man of com
mon sense and candor, whether these cura
tive agents (for such I admit some of them)
are not much more safe and useful in the
hands of a man of medical science and expe
rience, than they are in the hands of one who
has merely paid twenty dollars for a patent
right to cure diseases, and read two or three
little 1) loks ? COMMON SENSE.

OBITUARY.
Departed this life near Centreviile, Talbot
county, on the 10th ultimo, after an illness of
five days, Mrs. Frances 13. , wife of James
Caliier, in the 33d year of her age.
Time in its rapid flight, hurries kindred
and friends and all, to the silence of the grave.
Each day as it speeds its way into eternity,
hears along with it very many immortal spir
its, never, never to return again to the affairs
of earth. The ties which bind husband and
wife, parents and children, friends and rela
tives, are daily severed by the rude hand of j
death, and that which seems beautiful, strong
and healthful to day, may lie, ere the setting
of tomorrow’s sun, divested of all its beauty,!
its strength and its health. Mrs. Collier had
been about twelve years preceding her death, j
a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church; i
and the religion that smoothed ihe asperities j
of life; that qualified her properly to dis
charge tlie duties of a wife and mother; that
made her a valuable member of society, and
| obtained for her life eternul at God’s right j
hand, sustained her triumphantly when her !
immortal spirit was about Jo drop its tene
ment of clay, and fly home to the Christian’s j
! reward on high. She died in hope of a bet-,
| ter world than this, exhorting those about her
! bedside to persevere in the path of righteous
ness, leaving a kind husband, four children,
and a large circle of friends and acquaintan
ces to mourn o’er their irreparable loss.—
Husband, be submissive to the will of Provi
dence; your loss is her gain. Children, let
memory ever cling to the precepts and exam
ples delivered and set before you by that I
mother, whose chief t are and concern was i
your welfare here and hereafter. Christians,;
another and the last conquest has been won;
be valiant; ‘ buckle on your armour of faith
j and hope and love, and go forth to glorious
war.’ Then may you ask, too, ‘ 0 death!
where is thy sting? 0 grave! where is thy
victory ?’

I HAMPTON COURSE—SWEfiP STAKES
AS it is, and has been, usual of late years, with
the proprietors of the different Race Tracks of
ottr country, to advertise their Stakes,and, in my opin
ion. they close at too early a period, to give the own
ers of colts a fair opportunity of testing their racing
qualities, I communicate, therefore, to the sporting
world, my present plan, rules and terms.
There will be kept open stakes for two and three
: year olds, to be run for every successive year, and not
to be closed until one month previous to the race.—
Declaration fifteen days before the coming off ot the
race.
Stakes of one thousand dollars entrance, will be two
mile heats. Forfeit, $500; declaration, §IOO. Three
entries to form a stake.
Stakes of five hundred dollars entrance will be mile
heats. Forfeit, $250; declaration, $75. Three en
tries to constitute a stake.
Dashes of two or one mile, to suit the convenience
of parties, that is, the amount to be run for.
Persons wishing to make their entries, will please
direct their letters to the subscriber, acting proprietor
of the Hampton Course, or to Capt. Win. G. Nimmo,
Secretary of the Hampton JockevClub. Augusta, Ga.
Sept. 27, 1833. 35m6m ‘F. W. LACY.
THE GRAND JURY
SELECTED and sworn for the county of Talbot,
at SEPTEMBER term, 1838, would beg leave
respectfully to make the following presentments :
M e present Elisha Reeves for retailing spirituous j
liquors without a licence. Upon examining the
Clerk’s books we find that the following Justices of
the Peace have not made regular returns to that of- !
fice from the sales of estrays, and therefore are de- I
faulters, to wit: B. W. Steely, R. Holt, A. Russy,
Samuel McNeal, Geo. Buckhanon. John McDaniel,
Green B. Clav. James Learcy. We find that the
Clerk of the Inferior Court has kept his books in a
neat and business like manner. We would earnestly
and respectfully call the attention of the Inferior Court
to the deranged condition of the finances of the county.
We regret to be compelled to state that there is
abundant evidence, before this hotly, of the grossest
negligence, to say the least of it, on the part of those j
who have had the management of the fiscal affairr of {
the county. The Inferior Court appointed a commit- ,
tee, some lime since, to make a thorough investigation
of the matter. Their report to this body embraces a |
history of the monetary affairs of the cou.ity, from the
time of the sale of the town lots to the time of the I
appointment of the present County Treasurer. They j
have bestowed much attention upon the subject of their
labor, and without being able, from the loose and inef
ficient mariner in which ihe books of the Countv Trea- ‘
surer have been kept formerly, to make a thorough 1
report, they report to this body that there is a very
considerable deficiency ; that there is a balance some
where of several hundred dollars, which is vet due to
the County Treasurer ; items are entered for which
no vouchers are produced, and credits claimed for
which there is no proof. The Jury have thought pro
per to reappoint the committee appointed by the Infe- j
rior Court* to give them more time to investigate the. j
matter, and earnestly request them to probe the sub- j
ject to the bottom, and ascertain who it is of our coun
ty officers who have been defrauding the countv of her
just rights ; and they would request that committee to
make a report.of their labors, as soon as possible, lo
the Inferior Court; and would suggest to the Court
the necessity of commencing action immediately
against all former officers who may be in default. It
is evident to this body that, there is a large amount due
the county ; and they think that efficient steps should
be taken to recover it from the hands of those who have
it in possession. We examined the hooks of the pre
sent County Treasurer, Mr. Thomas Bailey, and are
happy to have it in our power to bear testimony to the
correct and business like manner in which his books
are kept. He exhibits vouchers for all sums paid out.
and ha* now in his possession vouchers to the amount
of some bun Ired dollars more than the amount of as
sets which have been in his hand, whic’. amount he
has paid out from his own private resources. If all of
our tounty Treasurers had been equally correct, the 1
count}’ might now have had a large surplus. We feel :
called upon to notice, particularly, the default of B. I
Whithurst, Esq., former County Treasurer. It has j
been represented to this body that he has admitted i
having in his possession county funds to the amount of j
several hundred dollars ; and from the most authentic
sources of information, in the absence of any thing like
correct information to bederived frorn his books,he ap- j
pears to have in possession one thousand and two dol-1
lars of the funds of the county. We deem it scarcely !
necessary to request of our Inferior Court to have this |
particular case of default legally investigated believ- 1
iug that in a case of so much importance, where the
rights and interest of all are concerned, and where the
amount involved is so large, that they need only be in
formed of the case, to have rccou sc to every means
which the laws of the land open to them, to compel
the defaulting officer to a full settlement. We recom
mend that the aforementioned committee be allowed a
liberal compensa ion for their services, in addition to
the amount already appropriated.
At the close of our official duties, custom has ren
dered it familiar for Grand Jurors to offer an expres
sion of their leading political measures of the day, a
custom advocated by some, and repudiated by others,
as being without the province of a body constituted and
organised partly for judicial purposes and duties,
whilst we readily grant, that political feeling and pre
judices should never be permitted to enter the sanctu
ary of justice, to pollute that stream which should
flow pure and uncontaminated from its fountain, yet
whilst we are serving as Jurors, forming a component
part of the judicial authority of the county, we cannot
forget that we are American citizens, and that our
duty to our country, unbiased and uninfluenced, we
trust, by any o her consideration than a proper regard
to truth and justice, under the sanction of that high
obligation imposed upon us. and under which we act,
that there crtn.be no satisfactory reason why. as free
men jealous of our rights, though assembled for a dif
ferent purpose, we may not be permitted to express
our vi ws upon any matter connected with the wel
fare of our country. This prerogative we beg leave,
on the present, occasion, to exercise with the most tal
lented and among the most virtuous of our fellow citi
zens. Up to a comparative recent date, it had been a
subject matter of much regret that, under our consti
tution, our judicial system was so organised that there
could be no common governing power. A species of
chaotic confusion every where prevailed ; and this un
fortunate branch of the government did not afford that
high and certain security, to the persons and property
of our fellow citizens, which its constitution intended |
to afford, and which, m its practical npera ions in other
countries, has afforded. With all the lights of experi
ence before us, after this matter xvas laid before the
people and their voice in favor of reform was pro
claimed at the polls in 1835. a bright prospect seemed
to dawn upon us. Our State Constitution was so
amended as to require the Legislature to organise a
supreme control'ing power, or tribunal, whose decis
ions should be final and conclusive nnnn all legal ques
tions which might arise in the different judicial cir
cuits. The whole country looked forward with pleas
ing anxiety to the beneficial results to flow from this
new power. But strung” to tell, from ciuses unknown i
to us, another and another session of our Legislature
has passed, since this amendment of our counstitution,
and the Court has not been organised.
The blessings which were anticipated have been
withheld by the servants of the people, and that too
whilst serving under the imperative requirements of a
constitution which they are sworn to support. The
same uncertainty in the adrnini drafion of the laws, so
long and so justly complained of. still exi-ts. and the
country seems to have settled down into a forced ac
quiescence. We would, therefore, reauest our Sena
tor and Representatives, in the next Legislature, to
use every exertion to have the Court organised in ac
cordance with the plain! v expressed will of a la-ge ma
jority of the people of Georgia.
There is another subject, of all engrossing import
ance. to which we would beg leave to call the atten
tion of our fellow citizens. Whilst we profess our
selves the friends of a well regulated credit system,
and that, for the protection and security of the coun
try, a reform is absolutely necessary, it cannot, he
disguised, and will not, we nresume. he pretended, but
that, under this system of hanking, the g catest frauds
have been practised upon the innocent’ and unsuspect
ing Those who have converted their proper?, and
labor into hank paper, consoling themselves under the
idea of independence, have, in a moment, had their all
snatched from them ; and still, strange as it max’ scorn,
those who have the controll and managein°nt of these
ins'itutions are scarcely held responsible for their nets
at the bar of public opinion ; no measures are taken to
force a compliance with their obligations, and to do
justice to the bill holders : and when the. attemnt has
been made, it has proved a mere abortion. We feel
justified in saying, that a system capable of being thus
used calls loudly for Legislative reformation, and that
justice to the country imperiously demands it. We
shall not attempt to point out the means bv which this
most desirable object, is to be accomplished. Wo
leave that to the wisdom and patrotism of our Legis
lure. In this country the will of the people must he
obeyed, and it is the duty of every good citizen to turn
his attention as much to the abuses as to the blessings
of legislation, in order that his voice may be heard in
behalf of the cause of truth and justice.
The Grand Jury have witnessed, with n’ensur**. the
pmmp'ness. energy and ability with which his Honor j
Judge Sturges. has discharged the laborious duties of;
his station during the present term of our Court. ; and
o the. Solicitor. Henry L. Benning. we re'urn our

AVACOOCHBE VALLEY TOWN LOTS
FOlt SALE, ItUUSSELL CO., ALA.
THE Commissioners chosen to lay off am! esta
blish a county village at the above named site,
will offer for sale to the highest bidder, on Monday,
the 15:hof OCTOBER next,a number of LOTS of
various sizes, from one half to four acres, to suit pur
chasers, &c.
This contemplated village is situated on the main
road from Girard to West Point, about midway be
tween the two points, it. is in a high and healthy
country, abounding with fine springs and rivulets of
the purest kind. The contiguous country is of the
most fertile soil, lotded with a heavy growth of excel
lent timber for building, and very convenient to two
valuable Saw Mills now in successful operation ; so
that any hill of lumber may be furnished at the short
est notice. We think we hazard nothing when we
say, that am gentlemen who may wish to retire from
a city or old settled country, for health, pleasure, &e.,
could not he disappointed should they settle at this
site; and as a place of business, either of a Mercan
tile or Mechanical nature, we know not why it should
be surpassed by any settlement in the up country.
From all these advantages combined, we flatter
ourselves that our proposals will meet the hearty ap
probation of a liberal public,* so that we may see our
village rise to honor and prosperity, and our children
to knowledge and usefulness, being the results of a
well organized Academy. So call and see.
Terms —A credit will he given until the 25th De
cember next, for one half the purchase money ; the
other half payable 25th December, 1830, for approved
paper. Titles executed on the receipt of last pay

FIFTY-ONE NEGROES FOR SALE.
rSVHE subscriber will expose to public sale, on the
JL 17 th day of OCTOBER next, without reserve,
to the highest bidder, that well known and valuable
tract of laud, known by the Poplar Corner, containing
1280 acres of land. The section lying west of the
Middle Cowagce has about 150 acres of cleared land
on it, and the greater part of that the best quality hem
lock land, with comfortable negro houses, and many
other necessary buildings on it. This section of land
possesses many qualities to make it more valuable
than any ! and in that section of country. It has five
or six good springs in the farm, two small creeks that
run through it that never fail to have tunning water, and
a most beautiful sand hill, with grst rate well water on
it that will never fail to be good, lies beautiful and rich.
The other section, lying cast of the creek, has consi
derable improvement on it, and one of the half sections
is, without doubt, the richest land on the Cowagee
creek. This section will be offered by the half section
or the section, as the purchasers may wish on the day
of sale.
A ho, will be sold, to the highest bidder, on the same
day, fifty-one likely NEGROES. Among them are
some of the most valuable servants in the state ; two
Blacksmiths, two or three first rate Cooks, and several
house servants ; 1500 or 2000 bushels corn, some fod
der, 100 head of hogs, 30 head of cattle ; mules, horses,
wagons, and many other articles too tedious to men
tion. The land will he sold precisely at 11 o’clock.
The negroes and land will be sold the first day, and
the balance of the property the next day. The land
will be sold in three payments. The negroes and
other prop rty will be sold on a credit until 25fh De
cember, 1839. Persons wishing to buy good and
valuable land would do well to examine for themselves,
as they can not fail to be pleaded with it.
The plantation is within 5 miles of Glenville, and 12
miles from Irwinton. This sale will be the next day
after the town lots in Jernigari are sold. We would
invite all persons wanting valuable property to attend
the sale. The sale will take place on the plantation.
