A NIGHT AMONG THE MLsQUTTOEsj
TEXAS.
We shall nrvcr forgot the first night
w e slept, or attempted to sleep, on one of j
the open prairies in H cstern I t*xas, some
eight*years ago. Nig!it came on wish a
sultry atmosphere, the southerly breeze,
which usually prevails, night and day, a!
this season of the year, having died away
at sunset. Our party, tome fifteen in
number, had encamped on a small stream
of brackish water, and near us was a lit
tie copse, or as the Mexicans term it, a
moltc of timber, f laving made our eve
ning repast, the fatigues of the day gav**
us an early inclination to sleep, for winch
due preparation was made, Nusoonei,
however, had night commenced than we
were visited hy millions upon millions of
mosquitoes, first saluting ns with theii
music, and afterwards presetring us with
their bill. Our beds wore made upon tfie
ground, a thick carpeting of grass aula ■
blanket underneath, a blanket and the
blue starry heavens above. .Mu-quito
bars were missing on the occasion—and
a sad omission it was, for wiih the myriads
of troublesome visitants with which we
weic assailed, sleep “was nowhere.”
They lit upon us like the pelting rain.
One could scarcely breathe without taking
them in with his breath. By a single
blow of the hand upon the check thou
sands coni Ibe slain, but tin ice llie num
ber seemed-to be flitting by and around,
to (ill up the gap. The air was literally
laden with them, and had it been day
time, we verily believe they won hi have
obscured the face of the sun. It was in
vain that we kindled up fires about our
cimp, with the hope of driving the enemy |
off by the smoke—the wind was at a lull,
and the smoke went straight up to the i
heavens. It was an awful, and we may
add, a sanguinary night—that night upon
the prairie, among the rmisquitoes. It
was worse —far worse, than would have -
been “a night among the wolves,” so |
graphically described hy a writer of the
day. We have made allusions to this
fact just now, for the solo purpose of ad.
monishing such of our friends as may
leave for Texas, that they must be pre
pared to encounter at least one enemy,
where if blood be not actually spilled, it i
will bn extracted on the suction princi

The Triumphs of Scientific Skill. —The
Boston Allas translates from a French
paper a new application of the electrical
telegraph, and the principle involved in it.
It stales that M. Bain, the inventor of
the principal system in use in Franco, has
applied the principles of this discovery to
the regulation of railroad clocks, and
some judgment of his wonderful success
tun be formed by that of an experiment
lie has recently made in Scotland. A
clock has been so arranged in Edinburgh,
by its connection with the magnetic
wires, that the oscillations of its pendulum
mark the hours on a dial plate in (Glas
gow, and upon another in Edinburgh, at
one and the same moment. So perfect is
its operation that the electrical current
passes from one city to the other in a point
of time not perceptible, since the two
clocks vary not perceptibly. When the
pendulum in Edinburgh moves to the
light the magueiixed rod in Glasgow
moves in the same direction, an 1 both re
turn together to the left. Two other
clocks are also to bo placed in tho inter
mediate stations of Linlithgow and Fal
kirk, to bo regulated by the one in E lin
burgh. It is proposed, as soon as all the
railroad lines are supplied with telegraph
ic wiies along their whole extent, to es
tablish tho general regulator in Green
wich, which will mark a uniform time
upon several stations upon every rail- !
road in the whole kingdom. In this man
tier the whole country will know the ex- j
act Greenwich time, and thus will he oh- :
viuted all the present danger arising from
disagreement in watches, and the sad ca
tastrophes they have not (infrequently oc
casioned, by mistakes in the departures of
trains.
Til lywnrd Fortune. — In onoofihe mar
kets in this city says the New York Sun, :
may be seen a middle-aged woman, whose
history is full of interest. She is a young
daughter of a tilled English aristocrat,
w hose estate is valued at $-.25,000 per an- j
num. She was brought up in luxury, j
fell in love with and married her father’s
grooni'inan, was t-urned out of house and
home, ami obliged to fly from her coun
try to avoid her father’s vengeance. She
passed through many trials which rend
the heart, in her career, from wealth to
poverty. She is note selling fruit in aN.
York market. For obvious reasons, we
do not go into detail. A strange com

■ r P3HLS Machine is now offered to the public as
-IL the most durable, the most convenient, the
must pouerj'al, (ami all things considered,) thi
cheapest and best Cotton Fucking Press in the
U urld.
This Press has now been in use four years—sev
eral hundreds of them are in successful operation.
In one that has l>een in use about two years,
there has been packed, over Jive thousand Bales of
Cotton ! and it works better (if possible) now, than
w hen first put up. Not one dollar lias been ex
pended on it in repairs—nor ever will be, if well
Used.
All those persons who have tried them, have de
cided to keep them their life-tune, and then hand
i them down to their children to the third and fourth
generations. Not an individual that has seen them
: in u>e hut what pronounces them "Just the thing.”
I challenge the world to disprove these state
ments. Now, can as much be said of any other
i Machine ever made? And yet Igo still further;
when required, 1 will pm up the Press on the plan
tation, and if it does not answer the purpose, util
| make no charge.
And again—being well aware that the planters
have hut little confidence in new things, from the
fact that nine out of ten are Yankee tricks,” in
tended to deceive, I have been to the trouble and
expense to fit up an establishment in .Macon, with
; several Presses, fur re-packing Round Bales into
I Square,and to show to the planters that the Press is
just tiie thing they want. These Presses are now,
! and will be kept, in daily use, and open to inspec
tion. Now, therefore, to induce the planter to
make an examination, I give below a certificate,
signed by a Jew of the many who have very kindly
offered me their names, since 1 started my Presses
in Macon.
To prevent had work, and all sort of meddling
or tampering with the Machines, I have tiiem all
made under my own direction, and sold at one price.
Ail those wishing to give them a trial, will please
give their names to my Agents whocall uponthem,
i or send them to the Commission House, where
| they' wish to go for the Machine, in order that the
; Agent may be prepared for them, otherw tse they
may be delayed iu getting a Machine’when it is

Macon, Ga., 27th April, laid.
This may certify, that I was attacked last Octo
ber with Bilious Fever, and.called in my family
physician (an eminent one) Dr. Boon, to treat my
case, but though no time had been lost in procur
ing liis assistance, I got worse and worse, and con
tinued tu sink from the combined attack of the dis
ease, and a rising w hich had just then made its ap
-1 pearance on my body, and notwithstanding the
| continued and strict attention of Drs. Boon A tlobi-
I son, 1 got so low, that on the fourteenth day, 1 was
; thought to be dying, and as 1 have since under
! stood was so pronounced by the physicians, to sev
-1 eral of my friends, next morning, being the extent
| of lime that was allowed me of life ; and to all hu
man appearance, well might they say so, for I had
been having hick ups almost constantly fursix days
and nights, the pans around the rising were morti
fied and perfectly black, exuding a thin green foetid
! matter, which was almost intolerable to those
| who were around me, starting and twitching of
i the tendons were also present, and my expeetora
j tion had become quite black—in fact, as 1 am in
! formed, ray friends were in hourly expectation of
i witnessing my final exit, when it was suggested
| that as Dr. Thomson had already raised some
I desperate and given over cases, he might possibly
j be able to do something in this; a drowning man
will catch at straws, and my friends with this view
I had him sent for, but he would not undertake the
I case till he ascertained positively that it had been
I given out by the others, on ascertaining w hich, he
| then took charge of it, and to the utter astonish
{ mentofall who saw 7 me, succeeded in restoring me
j to health ; my lockups, ceased, the mortified pieces
j of flesh dropped ojf, and left the other parts it! a fine
I healthy condition, and I now feel that, by the
[ blessing of God and the Doctor’s skill, i have a new
| lease of life, having been restored back almost from
[ the grave to the love and bosom of mv grateful
; family. DREVVRY THOMPSON.
This may certify that we the undersigned, saw
; and were witnesses to most of these facts above

: was attacked about three years ago, with Palsy

tirely disabled, and lost llie use of the lower ex

; care of Dr. Findel, who attended her for some time,
hut without benefit. We then applied to Dr.
! Parker, a Root Doctor, who, after he had treated
: her case some time, concluded that he could do
J nothing for her. We then applied to Dr. Thomas,
j ofCuiodenville, who attended on her eight months,
without the least benefit; for she was left in a
i most deplorable condition—perfectly helpless—
! wherever she was laid, there she remained with
out the power of motion, by the greatest elion of
j the will, She was so much reduced, that she
looked as if there were not live pounds of llesh on
her whole body—so that she could De compared to
nothing but a living skeleton, if such could be im
i a iued. V\ bile in tiiis state, 1 was induced to ap
ply to Dr. 31. 6. Thomson, of Macon, who, i am
proud to say, by the blessing of Providence, and
his skill in the use of remedies, has restored her to
excellent bodily health, and the use of hcrlimhs;
by w hich she is enabled to enjoy life, and visit
aliout in the settlement without the, assistance of
1 any title. But, what surprises every body is, that
j she has been restored without having been seen by
tbe Doctor, and at the mere nominal expense of
. twenty dollars.

Branham has used this medicine in his own case,
and has prescribed it to many others, gives it as his
| opinion, that it is one of the safest and most valua
-1 hie medicines that can be used in imperfect diges
, tion, liver complaints, constipation and irregular
state of the bowels. It is useful in bilious com
i plaints, to persons recovering from bilious fevers,
I and in sick or nervous head-ache. To pregnant
; women, who are subject to cosliveness, this ntecli
; 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 certificate*, but for
; hear, prefering to rely on the virtues of the medi
' cine to sustain itself. The medicine is a gentle
j and certain cathartic, tonic and sudorific.

t OLLETON BITTERS.
FOR DYSPEPTICS.
rMNIIF.SE BITTERS are purely a vegetable
i JB. compound, and are offered to the pub
lic from a principle, of benevolence, under the full- :
est conviction that they will be found a safe and
sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been
triumphantly tested not only by some of tbe most
respectable families in the State, w ho have furnish
ed ample testimony as to their decided excellence,
but also by the proprietor, who, for ten years, suf
fered all the gloom incident to that distressing dis
ease. They possess the peculiar excellence denied
to most other Bitters, of not proving injurious by
continued use. They contain not a single delete- i
nous ingredient, and, as seen from the directions
which accompany each bottle, may he given with
entire safety to an infant in tlie month
It the Colleton is taken regularly and persever
ingly,( which is highly important iu stubborn cases.) '
they will, soon after the use of a few bottles, be
found jo act on the system like a charm—imparting
vigor to the stomach, bracing the nerves, cleans
ing the liver, promoting digestion, iuereasifig Die j
appetite,strengthening The chest and voice, reliev- ;
ing pains, cramps,and stitches in the breast. They |
are also mostexcellenl for cholera morbus, habitual
i constipation,sea-sickness,nausea, proceeding from !
J whatever cause. In cases of general debility, it
has proved one of the remedies, and is there
; fore highly recommended to elderly people, literary !
gentlemen,students,and others of sedentary habits.
Taken in small closes frequently through the day, i
1 they have checked the most violent diarrhoea, and j
likewise been administered wi; It the happicstelfect
in cholera infantum.
In all the foregoing complaints, these Bitters will
he found effectual if persisted in, and taken accord
iug to the directions which accompany each bottle, ;
And although it has been testified by several that
they are excellent in many others,yet in none other |
than those above enumerated, is the proprietor will- I
ing to vouch for their efficacy. They were prima
rily and solely intended to cure Dyspepsia.
The Colleton Bitters have been eight years be- '
1 fore the public; and in consequence of the im-reas- i
ing demand for this valuable medicine, the proprie- !
lor lias entered largely into the business—bottles j
are procured having ■“Colleton Billers” moulded in
: them—they are also numbered, sealed and stamp- i
I ed w ith an appropriate motto. Price § I per bottle. '

tertain the most favorable opinion. Several of my ;
personal friends and acquaintances, long a filleted
“ with Dyspepsia, have assured me that they iTaxe
found these Bitters better than any other medicine
they ever tried, for that distressing disease. And I
take the pleasure further to state that 1 hove wit

For the Removal and Permanent Cure of all Discuses
arising from an impure state of the Ji.uod,
or habit of the system, viz:

t . tutional Disorders will be removed by this Pnpara
j tion.
r|MiU medicine has, in many thousand instances,
SL brought health and returning vigor to the w'cakand
I languid frame. Its operation extends itself to the rcnio
: test transact ions of tiie general system, and consists in re
i moving diseased action in the absorbing and secreting
j vessels.
T in-blood contains the elementsof the whole animal
i siriictnrc —flesh and liln e,glands, muscles,tendons, the
nails,tbe bail,and even the bones themselves, are all
j sustained by tbe blood. Well, then, may it becultedtha
stream of life. I u proportion to the purity of fluid will
1 lie that of the substance i. to which it is con 1 1 n natty cluing
! ing. Corrupt tdood instead of producing health v llesh. is
likely enough to develop sores a::d ulcers. When these
appear, w'hetherin the spec die form of scrofula,in all its
multiform and disgusting shapes,or eruptions in all their
disfiguring variety,rheumatism,bilious disorders,general
relaxation and debility,and a host of coinplainlsarising
from disordered secretions thcie isnodetergent,it is be
lieved, that wlllsorapidly neutralize the vii us in the tdood
from which they spring and effect a radical cure, as this
preparation.
The following is an extract from a letter just received
from Mrs. Cevau, w ho had been afflicted for several y ears
with Scrofulous Ulcers, Dyspepsia, Wc., and recently
; with an affection of the Throat andChcst:
15AI1.EVSBURG. VH.,Dec.lßlh, 1815.
I Messrs. A. B. ts D. Sands —Before I commenced using
yourSarsaparil.a my sufferings w erealmost past expres
i sion,iuy throat was completely ulcerated,! had a dreadful
. cough, and there were frequently weeks together that I
i could uotspeak above a whisper: and besides, the mrta
| mation from my throat extended into my head, so that my
hearing was very much impaired. Aftertak iug theSarsu
pai illa a short timeiny Dealtii improved and my throat is
now well. lam as free from cough and tightness of the
chest as lever was, and can hear quite distinctly. My
th roal has been well about three months, the cure of which
has been effected entirely by the use ofyom sarsaparilla.
Your friend, LOUI.BA It. BE VAN.
NEW YORK, Apri122,184'..
Messrs. A. B if D Sands — Cents: Feeling It a duty to
you and the community at large, I send you ibis certifi
catcof the virtues of your Sarsaparilla, that others who
are now suffering may hive their confidence established
. and useyour medicine withoutdelay.
I wastrouhied with a severe ulcer on my ankle, which
j extended half way up to the knee, discharging veryoffen
! sive matter, itching, burning,and depriving me often of
I my rest at night, and very painful to bear.
1 wasreconmiended to use your medicine by Mr. James
i McConnel, who had beencuredby it, and after using live
; bottles 1 wasentirelycured.
1 have deferred sending you this certificate one year
i since the cure was effected, in orderto ascertain w itii cer

me the greatest pleasure to add that 1 have neither seen
: nor fell the slightest re-appearance of it, and that lam

- Messrs. Sands —l deem it an act of Justice to myself
and the community at large, to relate the following facts
which occurred iu our neighborhood in the latter part of
July last. JaneU , ayoung girl aged fourteen years,
{ was afflicted with an immense sore on the middle of her
1 hack,which defied all the treatment of medical skill. As
■ she was a friend ofour family,l employed all the means iu
' my power in endeavoring to relieve her, but in vain. At
! last some person mentioned tome your Sarsaparilla, and
: I immediately procured two bottles of.Messrs. Mosely <fc
Tucker, your Agents in this city, which Igaveto her. I
I called to see her the next day and she told me she had ta
: ken two doses and felt very much relieved. 1 laughed im
• moderately at this, hut she said it was really so, and, gen
-1 tlemen.in a word, in two weeks from the time shc.com-
I meuced using it, there was neither sign nor appearance
