cully ami excitement, misrepresentation may delude, but the delusion is ever evanescent, and the reward of the public servant is al ways certain when his principles are correct and his motives pure. Os recent events in the State of Georgia, it does not become me to speak; the more particularly as I do not understand the pre sent condition of popular opinion. It would appear that at a moment,when the long pend ing question between the Genera! and State Governments, which has been the source of so much discordant controversy, has been satisfactorily settled by the administration, a decision has been made against it; and yet many of those who have just received marks of the public favor, avowedly advocate and stand pledged to sustain the principles which govern that administration on the most im portant topic on which it has been assailed. I pray you, gentlemen, to accept my j grateful acknowledgments for the flittering] terms in which you have expressed the wish- j es of my fellow citizens, and to excuse me to . them for not availing myself of their kindness. Your fellow citizen, JOHN FORSYTH. To Messrs. Campbell and others, Committee. For the Sentinel and Herald. The Southern Recorder gives the watch word out, stand up to your party —let not a single man be otf his post. It taunts the Union party, as breaking down under its name of Union —and its friendship and sup port of the principles of the administration— and wonders what new name it will now adopt, determining, however, on its own part, that we shall still be known as the Van Burcn party. Well, we are willing and ready. Call our party the Van Buren, Sub Treasury party: and from the result of Messrs. Dawson’s and Habersham’s election, you can have no ob jection to being known, on your part, as the Clay Bank Biddle party of Georgia. u- For the Sentinel and Herald. IIORSE RACING.—TRAINING, ETC. As the full races have commenced, it may not be useless or uninteresting, lo a portion of your readers, to give place occasionally to an article upon the subject of training.— Much attention has of late been given in Georgia to the breeding of the blooded horse, and it is believed that many more gentlemen would turn their attention to that object, if the expense and difficulty of training their colts, and giving them reputation on the turf, were not almost an insuperable obstacle.— At present there are hut lew professional trainers in the state, and the number of horses to which they can attend being limited, it follows that scarcely any person can get a colt trained, except those whose racing stud jusiilies the employment of a trainer. A gentleman, who may breed only a single blooded colt a year, finds it difiicult to get him into a good stable to be trained; and if he does, the expense of the training is so great as to amount almost to a prohibition. It requires at least eight weeks to put a colt in order for running, and the usual terms at, present, in Georgia, for training, are two dol lars per day to the trainer, including the food of the horse and attendants—the owner of the horse furnishing a boy to ride and a man to rub. The expense of training a colt, therefore, for his first race, will not amount to less than one hundred and fifty dollars; and then he may not be in condition, or some accident may happen to make his trial race an imperfect one. It tviil become necessary to ‘ train him on,’ so as to give him a fair j chance to show whether he is a race horse or not. li’ lie succeeds, the high price which he will command, (from one to five thousand dollars,) will abundantly remunerate his owner for his expense find irouble, both in breeding and training; but if he fails, then his owner has paid ‘ too dear for the whis tle,’ worth at least but little. This great ex pense, and still greater uncertainty of result, nre sufficient to deter many from breeding blooded stock, either as a matter of profit or pleasure. Many a farmer would provide himself with one or two good brood mares and raise blooded colts, if, when they come of age, they could he trained and run at an expense of forty or fifty dollars. He would be willing to pay a reasonable price to ascer tain the capacities of his colts, in anticipation of a rich, honest reward, either in money or pleasure, or both, if they turned out well. The following remarks, upon the subject of training, from a journal of high authority, are full of sound practical sense, and will be found useful to persons engaged in preparing blood horses for the turf. A YOUNG TURF MAN. From the Baltimore Turf Register. ‘ T 1 le chariot races of the ancients seem lo have had little object in view except amusement, nor indeed lias racing been con sidered a practice as combining great utility, with very interesting amusement, any where but in England, where the object has been to improve the useful qualities of the noble animal, the horse, and to combine fleetness with strength, including in the latter quality what is technically called bottom , or the en durance of great exertion, long continued, without being exhausted. These qualities are given to the individual animal by train ing ; they are given to a breed of animals by a proper selection of the parents. Training consists in skilful feeding, skilful exercise,and scientific attention to the state of the stom ach, the bowels and the skin. The object of training, is to get rid of superfluous fat and fleshiness, so that tlie horse shall have less weight upon his muscles, and less obstruction to his muscular movements. Trainers of horses, who are ignorant of animal economy, have a great many nostrums to produce, they know not how, some great and benefi cial eflect upon the horse; those who are acquainted with the medical and physiolo gical principles of the animal economy, have no nostrums, no specifics, no secrets. Tlio first object is to get rid of a needless quantity ot fluid in the system, and a needless quan tity oi tat, which produce, when exercise is violent, much laboring in the lungs, and an oppression of the breath, and much frothing in sweating. Till this is gotten rid of, the horse is in bad order. Ihe obvious means are, first, to exhibit, at intervals of about fmr days, three doses of purging physic, that shall operate moderately, not violently, on the bowels; tor great irritation of the trow els produces great muscular debility, as most people know by their own experience. The object is to carry of}’ superfluous matter gru dually, and not by excitement, to produce se- \ cretions anil ejections of what is recessary to nutriment and to health. Having interposed, for about a fortnight, alternate physic and moderate exercise, the system of feeding be gins. The principles are, to give, firsts as much food as the horse can easily digest, and no more. Too much in quantity injures the tone of the stomach and lungs. No animal can breathe freely with an overloaded stom ach. Second, to give hard and solid food, not watery, washy food. But that solid food must be broken so as to facilitate digestion, otherwise it irritates the stomach and bowels, without producing healthy nutriment. Per haps two thirds dry oats and one third bruis ed corn would be good feed ; to accompany this with regular exercise daily, and daily increasing it, without producing permanent languor and fatigue. The exercise ought to be of precisely the same kind as that which is meant to be the final object and business of the horse. Fourth, to continue the exer- cise til! the horse is able to bear great exer tion, without exhibiting any white or frothy .sweat, and merely a moderate moisture of ] the skin. Fifth, the great object of attention wine whether any thing is wrong or not, u the skin. If Ins blood he feverish, if his loud !>j to,* much or too scanty, if his exer c.se be too much or 100 little, his skin will • how it. Great attention, therefire, is to be paui to washing the legs and feet, to curry ing and brushing the skin, so as to keep it constantly clean under the hair, and in the best perspirable order; nor is a horse well trained unless his skin and hair be bright and ;glossy, and the hair lies close and evenly on the skin without stating; norjuriless the skin be limber and moveable when pinched; nor is training complete while any white frothy sweat appears, however hard the animal may be pushed. Sixth, the horse is to be kept in a coo! airy stable, scrupulously clean ; nor is lie to be loaded with blankets oil his body; no more should be used than is necessary to prevent the effects of too rapid cooling, and oi currents of air. A man of common sense as a groom will soon reman* what kind and what quantity of food and exercise is neces sary to produce this desirable appearance in a horse. By regular exercise, increased as his strength increases, and as custom will enable him, the horse will, in the course of two or three months, acquire the utmost de gree of muscular strength and vigor that Ills frame will admit of. Consolation. —The Boston Express gives the following humorous anecdote : • V* bile Gen. Green, of Rhode Island, was independent of all fanatics, he had a capital knack ol soothing the disappointment of beat en candidates, and on such occasions used to tell a favorite story in a style of inimitable bu rn r, which reconciled every body to the loss oi office. We can give nothing of iis spirit, merely the outline. A field slave in the South, to whom meat was a rare blessing, one day found in his trap a plump rabbit. He took bun out alive, held him under his arm, patted him,and began to speculate upon his qualities: ‘Oh how fat! berry lilt! the fattest I ever did see. Let me see how I cook him. I roast him. No, he so fat he lose all he grease. I fry him. Ay, yes, he so berry fat he fry himself; golly! how fat he be! No, I wont fry him, I stew him.’ The thought of the savory stew made the negro tbrget himself, and in spreading out the feast in his imagination, his arm relaxed, when off hopped the rabbit, and squatting at a goodly distance, he eyed his late owner with cool composure. The negro knew there was an end to the matter, and summoning up all his philosophy he thus addressed the rabbit, shaking his fist at him, ‘ You long-eared, white-whiskered, red-eyed, son of a b h, you no so berry d—n fat alter all!” Old law of Courtship , Oct. 27, 1647. —The General Court enact, ‘ that if any young man attempt to address a young woman, without the consent of her parents or the County Court! he shall be fined 51. for the first of fence, 10/. for lhe second, and imprisonment for the third.’ Sept. 11, 1549, Matthew Stanley was tried for drawing the affections of John Tarbox’s daughter, without the con sent of her parents. He was fined 51. —fees 2s. Or/., and 6s. for three days attendance by the parents. 4 ln the same month, three married women were fined ss. apiece for scolding.’ Quere. What would, or should have been the penally for an unmarried wo man for the same offence.— Salem Gazette. A peculiar slate of mind. —A prisoner who had just received sentence for two years, be fore the Boston Municipal Court, thus ad dressed the judge: ‘ I tnink my sentence is peculiarly and un justly severe, considering the comparative slight moral turpitude of m3’ offence. What have I done, more than to take fifteen dol lars worth of another man’s property, when l was in a peculiar state of mind ? Ido not rise, however, to ask you to change my sen tence, but only to express a hope that your official anti mortal career may terminate be fore my sentence expires; and when your career does terminate, I hope you will go where Judge Jeffrey went before you, and he didn’t go to Heaven hy a cl—d sight.’ The Irish Howl. —Baron Smith thus beau tifully describes that mournful cry peculiar to Irelaud,denominated the Irish Howl :—‘‘Call it wild and dismal, if you please, but do not stigmatize it with the epithet of‘howl.’— When its roughness, and chromatic or other discords, are softened by distance, and, as it were, diluted in the open air, it comes with a dying fall of inexpressible plaintiveness up on the ear. It is, I confess, an echo, a para phrase of the world’s lament; but, on the score of sweetness, it is an exception to my dislike of copies. It is a song of this world sadly floating to another, or a song of the other worlds addressed by Grief to this. Some of its melancholy cadences resemble those of drowsy nurse’s lullaby; and thus we may be said, in Ireland, to enter on and re tire from life in a song. ITEMS. Short and Sioer.t. —A correspondent in Texas writes as follows: —‘ You wish to know all the news. Ail lean tell is this:— Lamar is to be President, and I am married.’ Mr. Webster and the Presidency. —In a re cent article, we stated that Mr. Webster of] Massachusetts had withdrawn his name as a ] candidate for the Presidency of the Union. We ptedicated our statement on an article in the Boston Atlas, which we presumed was 4 by authority.’ From subsequent numbers of that paper we learn that Mr. Webster was not consulted,aad that consequently he stands in the same relation to the vdiigs, as a can didate for nomination, as be-4id before. We hope our friends will agree upon something, sometime or other.—W. T. Sun. Statistics qf*Missouri. —ln 1836 the popu lation of Missouri was known to be 244,208. The aggregate vote for Governor that year amounted to 27,372, which was about one in nine of the population. The average num ber of votes polled was, at the recent gene ral election, 40,268 ; and this, upon the same ratio of one vote for nine inhabitants, gives 352.000 as the present population of Missou ri, being an estimated increase of 113,000 in two years. A Yankee Motion. —An order has been gi ven to Mr. Goodyear, by a shrewd Yankee pedlar, for an India Rubber Sea Serpent of enormous dimensions, yet the whole affair will be so compact that it may be tied up in a silk handkerchief. A Despatch. —The Yankees do not waste time in words, as the following despatch from an American General to ttie Secretary at \\ ar will show:— * Mr. Jesup to Mr. Poin seU- —We may as well cut. I can’t lick the Indians , no how yon can He it.’ Yankee Con.- —Why are ladies’ gowns ! about the waist like a Camp-meeting? Be cause there is a great gathering there. — Age. Jared Sparks, the biographer of Wasliing ington, is engaged bv the Boston Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, to deliver a course of twelve lectures oa ‘ the causes and principal events of the American Revolu tion, and illustrative of the civil, military, and diplomatic history of that period.’ The New Orleans papers stale that the Hon. S. S. Prentiss, of Mississippi, has re signed his seat in Congress. Private busi ness, of a pressing nature, is assigned as the caiiie. ; COLUMBUS PRICES CURRENT.

SStf UTILITY OF DENTAL SURGERY. IF the value of any science is to be estimated by its comparative utility, Dental Surgery will hoid a distinguished place in the esteem of mankind. When we consider the extensive iniiuence which vlie state of the Teeth at all times exerts upon the functions of the stomach, the organs of digestion, and the general health of the system, the subject rises in importance, and assumes a character and a consequence of the most essential interest. Fot,it is now conceded by the most eminent pathologists, that tiunv of die most inveterate, appalling and f*ai diseases which scourge the human family, have their inception in a neglected state of the teeth—such as Tic Douloureux, Dyspep sia, Caacrum Oris, and even Phthisis Pulmonalis, which could be easily checked, and their baneful ef fects be prevented by the timely, proper and simple remedy, of a dental operaison judiciously performed. The good order and neat condition of the Teeth has long since been a desirable object by all who admire pleasantm-ss of breath, and beauty of appearance.'— Solomon, in complimenting an illustrious woman, and ; in admiration of ihose charms conferred by a beautiful ! set of Teeth, says: ‘ Your teeth are like a flock of sheep, that are even shorn, which come up from the washing ; whereof every one bear twins, and none are barren among them ;’ at once conveying to us an idea of a full and perfect set of regular, even and clean Teeth, by a figure as delicate, chaste and lovely as any that the customs or peculiarities of that pasiorul people c uld afford. The poets of India occasionally delight to refer to the beauty and cleanliness of the Teeth, in mast pleasing images, as, ‘ The cunda blos som yields to the whiteness of the Teelh ; speak but one mild word, and the rays of thy sparkling teeth will dispel the gloom of mv fears.’ Ovid recommends, as a remedy against love, to make her smile who has bad Teeth. We find Pilla-lius joking a superannuated coquette, in saying to her that ‘ for the price of her hair, with that of her paint, her wax, her honey, and her Te- th, she might, have bought an entire mask.’ When Julia presented herself to Manlius, she shone by a fl nvery mouth. She doubtless possessed ihose Teeth of snow, so sur.g by the favorite of the muses ; or that row of pearls so extolled by Lucian, the lustre of which was esteemed above that of the finest marble of Pana. Tn most parts of the Southern States, with the excep tion of some of the largest cities. Dental Surgery is very little understood In some of our large towns j we have probably as ingenious and intelligent Surgeon ; Dentists as are to be found in the oldest cities on the globe—rnen who are respectable for their litcrarv, scientific and professional acquirements. It is to be regretted that our subject has been neglected by a great proportion of the Medical Faculty. At present a spirit of inquiry is abroad, and I cannot but antici pate a period when, upon this subject, prejudices shall be removed. ma!-pradices corrected, the darkness of ignorance be dispelled, and, commensurate with the talents and worth of many of its possessors, its exten sive bearing upon health, and its happy influence upon society, assume a correspondent rank among the Me- : dical Sciences.

THE undersigned will, if not providentially pre vented, be in Columbus, Georgia, on the first Monday in NOVEMBER, for the purpose of dis seminating a knowledge of ENGLISH GRAM MAR, on a plan entirely his own, by which the at tentive Student may become a competent or practical Grammarian in twenty days, and at. the inconsidera ble expense of fifteen and dlars. The accompanying certificates of Rev. Thos. Henderson, Superintend ant of the Choctaw Academy, and of Hon. Richard M. Johnson, Vice President of the United States, it is hoped, will at least give the undersigned an oppor tunity to test his skill in this indispensable branch of education. HORACE T. N. BENEDICT. Scott co., Ky., Oct. 22,1838. - Choctaw Academy, Ky., Sept. 18, IS3S. Dr. H. T. N. Benedict, Dear Sir—We, the un dersigned, from twenty years’ knowledge of your supe rior skill in teaching English Grammar , have no hesi tation in saying, that your success in this state, in im parting a thorough and well grounded knowledge of that useful science, has not been surpassed, nor, in deed, equalled, by any other teacher. We consider your plan and system of teaching better calculated to make a deep and lasting impression on the yorthfu) mind, than any other with which we are acquainted. Yours, most respectfully, RH. M. JOHNSON, THOMAS HENDERSON, Supt. Choctaw Academy. P. S.—As you intend to make a Southern tour, we take pleasure in recommending you. in the highest terms, to any person who may wish to employ you as a teacher of Grammar. THOS. HENDERSON, RII. M. JOHNSON. As Dr. 11. T. N. Benedict has determined to travel South, and as he is known to me personally, and lives in my neighborhood, I feel it my duty to recommend him to my fellow citizens, as a man of science and great respectability, and in whom confidence may be plac and.
