It list* been decided, after mature consideration, that a bid proposing a specific modoof conveyance of as ! high a grade as two horse coach transpoitatioii is to be S preferred to tlv star bid.

As evidence of the superiority of the quality ol the cotton produced Iroat this Seed, we ap pend the iolluwing correspondence; Boston Plantation, f Near \ xioo City, Mi.. Sept. 1, ISIG. > Dear Sir: i’ite great attention awakened by the introduction of the MAS I'OL’U.N CO i- I iON into the U nited States, together with my earnest desire that it may succeed in ] romoting the interests ot the South, may be a sullicienl ex cuse for this communication. 1 lie seed were pr.mured (as I suppose) near the northern extremity ofthe Culfof California, where there are extensive uninhabited regions, and where Colton of various kinds is sometimes found growing wild. Its transfer to Mississippi, therefore, (the sumo latitude) keeps it still in its native climate. That you may not be imposed upon in the pur chase ot seed, it is proper for you to know, that, Willi but two stalks growing in IS IC, i!s cultiva tion in 1814, had not extended beyond my plan tation, except in a single instance in my neigh b triioud. In IS 15 it was first raised by others. — But its valuable properties nut then being gen erally known, it became much mixed and crossed, in many instances, with other cotton; and hence toe vast quantities of mixed seed throughout the country. And besides this, extensive liauds have been committed by the sale of quite differ ent kinds of seed, as “ Aiastodon.” A large com mission house in New Orleans has been exten sively engagtd in tins business, and many parts of the country have become flooded with spurious seed. Should you wish to cultivate the Mastodon, I you would do well to get seed that is genuine, I and it is ncarlr equally important that it be neither i mixed or crossed with other cotton. 1 would I also suggest I lie greatest care in keeping your 1 setd pure. To prevent it from degenerating, \ plai t in small quantities of picked seed occasion ally, to use for seed. 1 have from the first taken the greatest possible | care of my seed, and have my present crop grovv , ing entirely from picked sieJ. 1 shall put up my | st ed crop carefully for sale, with my name on each sack. They may be liqd in New Orleans ; ot Bu ;kner & Stanton and Hooper & Marye, in | Mobile of Mouleina & Tevell, and shall also have agenciesin thr principal places in Alabama, Georg; i and South Carolina. To secure my seed it should be especially inquired for. The Mastodon should be cultivated precisely as other cotton, except that it should have a lit tle more distance. The seed are very large, and white. To obtain a high price for the cotton it : should be handled and ginned well. Bv taking the “Southern Cultivator.” Augus ta, Ga.,6’l per annum, you may learn more upon i this important subject. Almost any ofthe Bouth i cm newspapers will he ol value to you in this re spect. Allow me to sav that mv brother Major | Al. E. Abbey. ofCo'uinbus, Miss., and Mr. D F. Miller, of La., have, 1 believe, taken great | pains in preserving the purity of their Mastodon i cottonseed. By noting these remarks arid circulating them among your friends, you will promote the inter ests ol coltoa growers, and oblige yours, respect i fully, U. ABBEY* I MASTODON COTTON.—From the fol- I -wing letter from one ofthe oldest and largest Commission Houses in Europe, it will be seen that I lie well ginned Mastodon Cotton was worth in Liverpool, at the time the letter was written, from 1G to ’JO cents a pound. Ihe Cotton the letter speaks ot was ginned on the common gins. it is now settled beyond question, that an arti cle worth double the price of our common Colton, may be raised any where in the Colton rcigicn, 1 without any addition d expense or labor. , In selecting seed, care should be taken to get j that which is pure, as much of it is mixed with ! oilier seed. Mastodon seed arc all large and ! while. LIVERPOOL, 3,1310.. R. Abbey Esq., Yazoo city, .)/ Sir We regret that in reply to vour favor ot August slh, we can give little satisfactory infor mation as to tiie u*cs of Mastodon Cotton in our manufactories. Even had a sufficient quantity ' gone into consumption, which there has not, the i manufacturers would carefully concert the uscsto o which tiiev put it, and its value to them. Ofthe quality and value of the Cotton in our market, we can give a strong and decided opin ion. W e think its length and strength and siiki j ness of staple place it next below Sea Island Cot ton, from which it presents no marked point of j difference, when not injured by ginning. This - is a most important point, because saw ginned Sea Island does not rank high in tins market, ow | ing to the staple being cut. i The writer In hives that he has seen every pared of Mastodon cotton in the Liverpool mar ket. For some lOd is asked. We sold two bales, * dull in color, at BJ, and a rather large sa e was j made early in the season at nr fIJ. Hail vve - 100 bales of sunil ir quality to the small bale of | Mr. W. H. Mercer, we [should ask HJd, and we : have no doubt a safe might bo made readily at i 9d. But you must hear in mind the parcels of a ; bale or two arc difficult to place, the buyer caak i ing rather a favor of taking them, i The principal pa ints to attend to are first, fine | r.css. length and comparative strength of staple, i which must not be injured by over-ginning or ! working the gin 100 fast, which converts valua j bio cotton into a broken mass of fibres, expensive i to separate and involving the loss of halt the Cot -1 ton. Next to this, a fine pink bloom is desirable, not too much ofthe ''ream color, and a degree of oiliness in the quality of the cotton, making the sample silk V. These points at ained, the Cotton would only ue inferior to the higher qualities of Sea Islands. We remain von obedient servants, GEO. G BEEN & SON. Jan. 1A —c 80 PAINTS, OILS, WINDOW G LASS, dr c .

S He has prescribed it in almost every variety of I | disease and with unparalleled success, especially | I in cutaneous alleetious, cancerous, scrofulous stud I ■ scorbutic diseases, and diseases originating from ; j obstruction or enlargement of the glands or iuipuri- J ty of the blood. l Cancer and Cancerous Tumors. i He has used this preparation in upwards oftwen j ty well defined cases of cancer and cancerous lu j mors, and in every case but one with perfect and 1 entire success. IJronchocele or Goitre, (Swelled Neck.) He has prescribed it in over a hundred cases of goitre, ami it lias never failed in a single instance to completely remove the disease. Not a solitary case of failure. All were cured. The success he has met with in curing hronrho cele and cancerous affections lots convinced him that these dangerous and horrible diseases may be j removed with as much certainly as Fever and t Ague. He does not wish to be understood as say ! ing that they can be cured as soon as Fever and i Ague, hut vv ilh as much certainty; and further, that he has triioi! reason for believing that this prepara tion will not only > lire these diseases when formed, hut that it destroys the virus or poisonous principle lurking in the system, from which that peculiar class of diseases, as well as that of scrofula emanate. Scrofula—King's Evil. This preparation has been used in numerous rases I ofScrofuia, King’s Evil, and scrofulous swellings, and always with the must deci led success. Bkin Diseases. He has prescribed it in a great variety of culane- I ous affections, and found it successful incuringsalt rheum, or letter, biles, blotches, pimples,morphew ami jaundiced skin,&c. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. It has been used in numerous cases of liver com plaint and Dyspepsia, arid with the happiest eilecl. Tic-Douloureux. It has been used, in several cases of Neuralgia, and in every case it was successful. Rheumatism. This preparation has been prescribed in & great many cases of chronic rbeuiuaism, and in every casein which it was used until the system became affected by the medicine, the disease was removed Gout. A number of cases of gout have been cured by this preparation. In one of these cases, the man had been afflicted with it so severely for thirteen years as to entirely disable him from business, and fur five months immediately previous to his taking the Alterative he had been confined to his room; but before he had finished the third bottle, he was enabled to walkabout the streets and soon after re turned to bis f rom vv Inch he had ao long been excluded by his afflictions. Dropsical Swellings, This medicine increases the powers of digestion, excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by j width watery or calcareous depositions, and ail j unnatural enlargements are reduced. It imparts tone and vitality to the whole system, removing | sick and tflorl .in headaches, giddiness, wandering pains and nervous alleetious. In fact, in every case where the medicine has been taken for some time, no matter for »h t pur pose, the general health oi the patient has always keen improved uy it. In conclusion, the proprietor would say that some of tiie most astonishing cases of skin diseases, can cer, hrunchocele, and scrofula, have been cured ivy litis medicine, that have ever been recorded; hut want of room in this sheet precludes their publica tion al this time. CANCER. An interesting case cured by Jayne's Alterative. In the spring of IS3I, a cancerous tqmor appear ed in the right breast of Mrs. Phoebe, wife of Peter Stretch, of Salem, N. J. It was examined by many Physicians, and was considered by till as cancerous, and besides bore all the characteristic marks of one. All probable means of removing it were used w ithout the slightest benefit. It continued to in crease i)otii in size and painfnlness, until all hope of saving her life, but by a painful operation, was abandoned, which, after a consultation of eminent Physicians, was performed, Jan. Ist, 1832, by Dr. 1 John Rhea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, the proprietor, and two oilier medical gent'emen. The w hole and entire right breast was rerno—• J, and af i ter examination of the tumor, was ptonouneed by i all present a cancer of rite most malignant charac ! ter. In about three months, after enduring ittcreui- I hie sufferings, she was enabled, though hr-.ken in ■ spirit, to get about again. She remained leeble, and hergeneral health Was exceedingly bad, as in j deed it had been for sever-*! years before. In the | spring of 1837. upwards of five years after her hi east had been removed, a painful tumor made Us ap pearance on the right side, immediately over *he part formerly occupied by the nipple of the right breast, prev ions to its removal. This tumor steadi j |y increased for several months, and became so painful as to depriv ed her of rest. The glands ttn- I der the right arm were enlarged; and scin hus, and I a hard, irregular, and at times painful tumour, ap i peared in the left bn-ast. No operation could now i arfest I lie disease. Indeed her vv hole body appear ed to be a mass of disease. Her ease was cunsid ; ered hopeless. Hie was of a very scrofulous habit, ; both Iter parents having died of Pulmonary ron i sumption. The experiment was now made with this Alterative. It was sit first given in small doses, three times a day, and the doses very gradu ally, but steadily increased daily, as long its she | took it, which was about six months, and the skin j , over and around the tumour was wet night and morning with a strong solution of lodine and Hy j driodale Potash. The tumour continued increas ing in size fur about six weeks, and was at times very painful, when the pain suddenly ceased alto gether, and the tumour swelled out at the base,and became soft, and then began to diminish, and con -1 tinned gradually decreasing until every vestige <>f ' disease was removed. The tumour in her left j breast, and those in her right axilla were also dts- ; persed. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever j i appeared afterwards; and hergeneral health, w hich , ; had been so had for fourteen years as to make life a l j burthen, was effectually and permanently restored. ; i The proprietor is in possession of the diseased | breast, and those who cboose may examine it. He j j would also say that lie could mention over a dozen ! cases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative ' has subdued raneerand cancerous tumours, but lie ! has not room hereto record them. Mrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge. N. J., I hud a goitrous tumour on the left side of her vvind \ pipe, a* large as the half of an orange, which was | cured by using this Alterative for about four | months. MBs R S , South Fourth-street, Pliiln- I delphia, was also cured of an enlargement ofthe throat, which filled the entire space between the ; c hin and breast-hone, and extended around on | each side of Iter nec k to behind her ears, and from , her ears to her shoulders, and produced awful de formity. It commenced growing when she was but five years cl I. and continued gradually to in crease, until she was nineteen, at which time she commenced using this Alterative, w hich she took for seven months, w hich entirely reduced the en largement; and she has now as smooth and pretty a neck as can be found. The proprietor is not at liberty to give her name in print, but w ilt refer per sons to her. For sale by WM. K. KITCHEN. B?p3S ly 2 Sole Ag»mfor Georgia.

JOEL BRANHAM’S LIVER AND DYSPEPTIC MEDICINE. W N offering this valuable medicine to the people ii of Georgia, for the relief and cure of many din e,t>es incident to a southern climate, 1 do not claim for it infalibility; neither do I say it will cure ail diseases. But in Chronic Liver Affections and Dys pepsia, I can confidently advise and recommend its use, from my personal observation and use of the article in my ow n practice. This article is favora bly received wherever it has been used. lam al lowed to refer to Mr. George Heard of Troup, 3lr. John Warren of Columbus, 3lr. McKaffee of Cobb, 3lr. Asbury Hull of Athens, Mr. William D.'Ter rell of Putnam, Rev. John E. Dawson of Lagrange; to which a great number of names might be added, who bear their testimony toils value. Dr. Henry Branham has used this medicine in his owai case, and ha- prescribed it to many others, gives it as his opinion. that it is one of the safest and most \allia ble medicines that can be used in imperfect diges lion liver complaints, constipation and irregular state of the bowels. It is useful in bilious com nlainls, to persons recovering from bilious fevers, and in ’sick or nervous head-ache. To pregnant women, who are subject to costiveness, this medi cine is well suited. In regulating the state of the stomach and bowels, and promoting digestion, it is particularly useful. I could append a long list of certificates, hut for bear, prefering to rely on the virtues of the medi cine to sustain itself. The medicine is agenda and certain cathartic, tonic and sudorific.
