( the due celerity, certainty, and security of sack trans
i portatioii.
( When the lowest bid proposes a mode of conveyance (
j that is inadequate for the route in respect to the certain- I
! ty, security, and celerity of tbe mails, aside from any uc- |
j com;nodation for travel, it will not be entitled to the |
i route
-20. When the bid docs not name amode of conveyance, :
i it will be taken aml understood to be Ibr the lowest mode of j
conveyance to wit: on horebaek. \V heu it proposes to |
carry according to the advertisement, and no mode of j
conveyance is stated for the rnuie iu the advertisement, ,
it will be considered as offering only for horseback con- j
veyantc.

| new de. criptioii ofbid has been rc eivctl. It speciiic* no ;
‘ mo !e of conveyance, but engages to curry the mail with i
i certainty, celerity, and security, using the terms of the '
: law. These bids are called,from the m u.nor in which j
! tlicvare designated outlie booksoftbedepartment, 1 star j
‘ h 'ul." It hag been decided, after mature consideration, i
that a bid proposing a specific mode of conveyance of us j
hiirli a grade os two librse,coach transportation is to be l
preferred to the star bid 'i he experience of the depa t- i
mciit enables il to lay dow n th * follow ing rules, viz ;
Wlir,i the mail on the route is not so large as to requira
two liorse coach con veyaucf ■ a star bid. if the lowest, will
be preferred to the specific bid.
22. When the mails arc of such size and weight as to
I render it necessary or expedient, in reference to (hem
alone, to provide two-horse coach coiiv 'yatice. die spe
cific bid. though the higheri will be preferred to thestai
bid. to tbe exteutof a moderate difference in the compen
! sation, in case ttie difference is not shell as to interfere
j with the policy of the ne;v law, which looks to a reiluc
! tion in the cost of transportation, Exceptions, how ever,
[ may hr allowed where the stir bid if made by the present i
owner of the stock on the route, and it is manifest that the J
reasons for preferring tile specific bid do not exist in iris
case.
21. On routes of the highest class, where foui liorse !
coach or steamboat trai sportation is required by the size j
and importance of the mail*.the prufereffee lor the spe- 1
ci/ic bid will be. if necessary carried to a greater extent j
of ilirt’amice than on 'he lafrror coacii routes, subject, 1
however, to the exerjuions above stated.
21. A modification of a bid, in any of its essential terms !
is tantamount to Hiie.a bid, aud ( 'iniiot l>e received, so as j
to interfere with regular competition, after the last hour j

Near Yazoo City, Mi.. Sept, i, 1816. \ .
Derr Sir; The great attention awakened by
tlie introduction of the MASTODON COT
-lON into tlie United States, together witu my
earnest desire that it may succeed in j minuting
the interests of llie South, may be a sufficient ex
cuse for tiiis communication.
Tito seed were procured (as I suppose) near
the northern extremity of the Cull'uf California,
where there are extensive uninhabited regions, ,
and where Colton of various kinds is sometimes •
found growing y ud. its transfer to Mississippi,
then-lore, (tue same lat.tude) keeps it still in its
native climate.
That you may rot be imposed upon in the pur
chase ofseeJ, ii is proper for you to know, that, j
with hut two stalks growing in 1542, its culliva- t
lion iu iS-ii, had not extended beyond my plan
tation, exc( pt in a single instance in mv neigh- |
borhood. In 18la it was first raised by others. —
But its valuable properties not then being gen
erally known, it became much mixed and crossed,
in many instances, with other cotton; and lienee
the vast quantities of mixed seed throughout the
country. And besides tills, extensive frauds
have been committed by the sale of’quilt? differ
ent kinds of seed, ns “Mastodon. ’ A large com
mission house iu N< vv Orleans lias been exten
sively engaged in this business, and many parts
ol the country have become deeded with spurious
seed.
Should you wish to cultivate the Mastodon,
you would do well to gel seed that is genuine,
ami ;t is nearl. e.j nally important that it he neither
mixed or crossed with oilier cotton, i would
also suggest 11 io greatest care in keeping your
seed pure. I o prevent it from degenerating, :
plant in small quantities ol picked seed occasion- ,
ally, to use for seed.
i have from tin- first taken the greatest possible
care of my seed, ami have my present crop grow
ing entirely from picked seed. Ish ill put up my
seed crop careful!for sale, with my name on
each sack. They may be had in New Orleans
of Buckner &. Stanton and Hooper & Maryc, in
Mobile of Moulchin A Teveil, and shall" also
h ive agencies in the principal places in Alabama,
Georgia and South Carolina. To secure my
seed it should be especially inquired for.
The Mastodon should be cultivated precisely
as other cotton, except that ii should have a lit
tle more distance. The seed are very large and
white. To obtain a high price for the cotton it
should he handled and ginned well.
Bv l iking the "Southern Cultivator/ 1 Augus
ta, Ga.. 181 per annum, you may learn more upon
this important subject. Almost any ofthe South
ern newspapers will be of value to you in this re
spect. Allow me to say that mv brother. Major
M. E. Abbey, of Columbus, Miss., ami Mr. D
F. Miller, of La., have, 1 believe, taken great
pains in preserving the purity of their Mastodon
cotton seed.
By noting these remarks and circulating them
among your friends, you will promote the inter
ests of codon growers, a%l oblige yours, respect
fully, 1L ABBEY •
MASTODON COTTON.--From the fol
lowing letter from one ofthe oldest and largest j
Commission Houses in Europe, it will Lc seen |
that the well ginned Mastodon Cotton was worth
in Liverpool, at the lime the letter was written,
from 16 to AO cents a pound. The Cotton the
letter speaks ot was ginned on the common gins,
ll Is now settled beyond question, that an arti- j
cie worth double the price of our common Cotton, i
may be raised any where in the Cotton reigion, i
without any additional expense or labor.
In selecting s ed, care should be taken to get
that which is pure, as much of it is mixed with
other seed. Mastodon seed are ail large and
white. ■*

Sir We regret that in reply to your favor oi
August otli. we can give little satisfactory infor
mation as to the list s of Mastodon Cotton in our
manufactories. Igjpn had a sufficient quantify
gone into consumption, w!d ?h there has not, the
manufacturers would carefully conct 4 the uses to j
o which they pul it, and its value to them.
Ofthe quality and value of the Cotton in our j
market, we can give a strong and decided opin- j
ion. W c think its length and strength antisilki- j
ness of staple place it next below Sea Island Cot- j
lon, from which it presents no marked point of i
difference, when not injured by ginning. This j
is a most important point, because saw ginned j
Sea Islandiloes not rank high in this market, ow
ing to the staple bring cut.
'Lhe writer bolitu-s that he has scon every
pared of Mastodon cotton i.i the Liverpool mar
ket. For some I Oil is asked. W e sold two bales,
dull in color, at Bd, and a rather large sale was
made early in the season at b'h orb'd. Had vve
100 bales of similar quality to the small bale of
Mr. W. H. Mercer, Vve(should ask Tdd, and we
have no doubt a sale might lie made readily at
9d. But you must bear in mind the parcels of a
bale or two are difficult to place, the buyer mak
ing rather a favor of taking them.
The principal points to attend to are first, fine
ness, length and comparative strength of staple,
which must not he injured by over-ginning or
working the gin 100 fast, which converts valua- j
hie cotton into a broken mass of fibres, expensive j
to .separate and involving the loss of halfthe Cot
ton. Next to this, a fine pink bloom is desirable,
not too much of the cream color, and a degree of
oihness in the qu ility of tire cotton, making the
sample Siiky. These points at Tuned, the Cotton
would only be inferior to the higher qualities of
Sea Islands, \\ o remain vmi obedient servants, j

! Dropsical Swellings, ( onsiitu! ional Disorders and 1
disease's originating from a depraved or Impure |
| state, of the JJlood or other fluids ofthe body.
The proprietor of this Alterative would most re- •
sportfully assure the public that lie has not ole-red j
this preparation to their notice without due rellec- i
lion, and close and rigid study, nor until after i
! t\\elve years’experience bad manifested its great! j
superiority over every other article of the kind.— j
| and he now recommends it with confidence, fully j
j believing that hie above combination of medicine j
! will effectually eradicate from the system a class |
j of disease some of w Inch ha\ e heretofore been con- j
| sidered incurable.
He has prescribed it in almost every variety of i
1 disease and with unparalleled success, especially
j in cutaneous affections, cancerous, scrofulous and
j scorbutic diseases, and diseases originating from
obstruction or enlargement of the glands or impuri
i ty of the blood.
Cancer ami Cancerous Tumors.
He lias used thispreparation in upwards of twen
ty well defined cases of cancer and cancerous tu
mors, and in every case bat one with perfect and
entire success,
iiimicltocelc or Goitre, (Swelled Ncclc.)
He has prescribed it in over a hundred cases of
: goitre,and it lias never failed in a single instance
to completely remove the disease. Not a solitary
case of failure. All were cur d.
The success be has met with in curing hronrho
ccle and cancerous affections has convinced him
that these dangerous and horrible diseases may be
removed with as much certainly as Fever and
Ague. He dues not w ish to be understood as say
ing that they can he cured rO rooti as Fever and
AC.e, bul with as much certainty; ami further, that
I he has good reason for believing that ibis prepara-
I lion will not only «tire these diseases when formed,
I hut.that it destroys the virus or poisonous principle
! lurking in the system, from which that peculiar
class of diseases, as well as that ofscrofulu emanate.
Scrofula—Kis:g ? s Evil.
This preparation has been used in numerous cast s
of Scrofula, King’s Evil, and scrofulous swellings,
and always with the most dcci ied success.
Rkiu Diseases.
He has prescribed it in a great variety ofrutane
ous affections, and found it successful in curing salt
rheum, or tetter, biles, blotches, pimples,murphew
and jaundiced skin, &c.
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint.
It lias been used in numerous rases of liver com
plaint and Dyspepsia, and v. ith the happiest effect.
Tic-Douloureitjc.
It has been used in several cases of Neuralgia,
and in every case ii was successful.
Klieumalism.
This preparation has been prescribed irua. great
many cases of chronic rheumaism, and in every
casein which it was used until the system became
affected by the medicine, the disease w as removed*
G out.
A number of rases of gotn have been cured by
tliF preparation, in one of these cases, the man
had been afflicted with it. so severely fur thirteen
years as to entirely disable him from business, anil
for five months immediately previous to bis taking
the Alterative lie had been confined to his room;
but before he had finished the third bottle, he was
' enabled to walk about the streets and soon after re
| turned to his business, from which he had so long
been excluded by his afflictions.
Dropsical Save!lings.
This medicine increases the pow ers of digestion,
| excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, !» y
j which watery or calcareous depositions, and all
! unnatural enlargements are reduced. It imparts
tone and vitality to the whole system, removing
; sick and morbid headaches, giddiness, w andering
pains and nervous affections.
In fact, in every case where the medicine has
been taken for some time, no matter for what pur
pose, the general health oi the patient has always
been improved by it.
In conclusion, the proprietor would say that some
( 1 tiie most astonishing cases of skin diseases, can
cer, lironchocelc,and scrofula, have been cured by
this medicine, that have ever been recorded; but
want of room in this sheet preclude* their publica
tion at this time.
CANCER.
j An interesting cast cured by Jayne's Alterative.
j ]n ihe spring of JS3I. a cancerous tumor appear
| ed in the rivbt breast of Mrs. Phoebe, wife of Feler
! i>t retcb, olkSalt m, A. J. it was examined by many
j Physicians, and was considered by ail as cancerous,
i ami besides bore all the characteristic marks of
I one. All probable means of removing it w ere used
| without Ihe slightest benefit, ll continued to in
j crease both in size and painfulness, until ail hope
of saving her life, but by a painful operation, was
abandoned, which, after a consultation of eminent
Physicians, was performed. Jan. Ist, IS3O, by 3)r,
John Rhea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, the
proprietor, and two other medical gentlemen. The
w hole and entire right breast was removed, and af
ter examination ofthe tumor, was pronounced by
all present a cancer ofthe most malignant charac
ter. in about three months, after end tiring incredi
ble sufferings. she was enabled, though broken in
spirit, to get about again. Bhe remained feeble,
and her general health was exceedingly bad, as in
deed it had been for several year* before. Jn tiie
spring of IrfilT, upwards of five years after her breast
had be-eh removed, a painful tumor made its ap
pearance on the right side, immediately over the
part formerly occupied by the nipple of the right
breast, prrv ions to its removal. T his tumor steadi
i ]y increased for several months, and became so
painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands un
tlerfiie right arm were enlarged; and scirrhus, and
a hard, irregular, and at times painful tumour, ap
peared in the left breast. No operation eoulil now
arrest the disease. Indeed her vv hole bodyappear
ed to he a mass of disease. Her case was consid
ered hopeless. Mie was of a very scrofulous habit,
both her parents having died of Pulmonary con
sumption. The experiment was now made with
this Alterative. It was at first given in small
doses, three times a day, and the doses very gradu
ally, but steadily increased daily, as long as she
took it, which was about six months, and the skin
over and abound tiie Tumour was wet night and
morning w ith a strong solution of lodine and Ily
drirtdafe Potash. The tumour continued increas
ing in size for 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
tinued gradually decreasing until every vestige of
disease was removed. The tumour in her left
breast, and those in her right axilla were also dis
persed. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever
appeared afterwards; and hergcneral health, which
l.ad been so bad for fourteen v ears ns to make life a
burthen, was effectually and permanently restored.
The proprietor is in possession of the diseased
! breast, and those who choose may examine it. He
would also say that he could mention over a dozen
cases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative
has subdued cancer and cancerous tumours, but be
has not room hereto record them.
Mrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge,N. J.,
had a goitrous tumour on the left side of her vvind
: pipe, as large as tiie half of an orange, which was
cured by using this Alterative fur about four
months.
Miss R S .South Fourth-street, Phila
delphia, was also cured of an enlargement of the
throat, which filled the entire space between the
chin and breast-bone, and extended around on*
j each side of her neck to behind her ears, and from
her ears to her shoulders, and produced awful de
formity. It commenced growing when she was
bul five years old, and continued gradually to in
crease until she was nineteen, at which time she
commenced using this Alterative, which she took
for seven months, which entirely reduced the en
largeraent; ami she has now as smooth anil pretty
i a neck as can be found. The propriet or is not at
1 liberty togive her name in print, but w ill refer per
sons to her.

IIAITIHUVTTH
CHEMICAL SOLUTION.
FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF
WHEAT AND OTHER SEEDS.
rpillE subscriber being the only possessor in the
-BL United States, of the recipe for preparing
HAU TERIVE6 CIiEAUCALSOLU 1 iON;
for which the Society ofEncouragcmcnt and Ag
| rtcblturc ot France, after testing the value of it
for three consecutive years, through a coinmiHsii.it
composed of Scientific Agriculturists and Che
mis*s, ami after their favorable report, awarded
the invintor a premium of 3,000 francs, and a
gold medal.
The stimulating power of the ingredients com
posing thisSolutiou is such, that by steeping tho
Seed in it, the effect is not only to accelerate the
germination, but to render the Vegetation more
j vigorous* by its useful action as a hygroscopic;
' the gaseous emanations of carbonic acid, ami
j carbonated hydrogen, nourish the plant, and
! make it more productive to the Farmer, by pre
venting rust and the attacks of insects.
Tlie numerous advantages m ising from the use
iof this Steep, are—lst, that it is the direct appli
i cat on of pabulum to the seed, instead of the
1 ground. 2d. It supersedes all brining*, lime,
j plaster, and all other troublesome operations now
i in use. 3d. It causes a much more speedy an-J
hardy growth; and lastly, by maturing much
: sooner, (we think .10 dats,) it will evade the rust;
! and consequently, give the husbandman a more
profitable harvest: also, the cost is moderate , ($5
j lor the barrel at 33 to 35 gallons.)
DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE CHEMICAL
SOLUTION.
Put in a tight tub as much of the Solution
I as is required for the quantity of Seed you have
to soak —throw in the seed and let it remain, as
' 'Allows -
I WHEAT and RYE, G Hours or more.
! OATS and PARLEY, J Hours or more.
1 CLOVER and OTHER
! GRASS SEED, 2 Hours;
INDIAN CORN, 18 to 24 Hours.
ggjT After being soaked, dry it through a hair
sieve before sowing.
COTTON SEED.— Southern Planters would
find a great benefit by using this Solution as &
steep for their Cotton Seed belore planting. The
longer the Seed stand soaking tho better. After
having been soaked, the Seeds must be drained
in a sieve or basket, and immediately planted.
For the information of those who wish second
testimony on this matter, lie subjoins the opinion
j ofsome well known Agriculturists, who tried tho
: preparation on Wheat last Fall, and now renew
their orders for an enlarged quantum for spring
I seed mgs,
Extract of a letter from JOHN S. SKIN
| NEII, Esq., dated February 15, 18-15. Your So
i Union was tried, not by me, but my own son, F ‘
G. Skinner; the Wheat he steeped in it was
sowed very late, yet he says the effect is very ap
; parent and highly beneficial, I shall recommend
i the trial of the Solution to all my friends next
spring, for their Oats. Corn, Ac.
'
Coi. N. GOLDSHOROUGH, writes, March
1 Oth, 1845; Three bushels were seeded in stiff
| white oak land, and here I have every reason to
I be well satisfied with the experiment; the Wheat
came up earlier, and grew up with as
tonishing vigor, and has maintained a superiority
over the adjacent Wheat, which was brined and
limed and seeded the same dav in land of tho
same quality. Jt has constantly appealed thus
far us if the land in which the Wheal stteeped in
the Solution was seeded had been manured, and
the other not; whereas the whole was dressed tho
preceding spring with barn-yard manure, &c.
Commodore JONES, U. S.Navy, writes : *‘A*
to the effects ot the Solution on the growing crop,
&c., I think very favorable. It has added much
to the appearance as well as to the growth, Ac.”
double the quantum used last Fall.)
Green Valley Farm , August 21, 1816.—Ihare
tried your solution, last fall, on Wheat. 1 sowed
a piece of land of three acres, one half the seed
soaked with the Solution, and the other without
anv soaking. One acre and a half, with tho
seed soaked, gave 2H. bushels Wheat, the other
one and a half acres only yielded 12}; the Wheat
weighed 594 pounds per bushel, while that not
soaked, only 57}. The Wheat soaked came up
nearly tour days before the other, and harvested
ticctrcdays sooner. PHILIP JVIARSO.
