[From the Charleston Evening News.}
Mr. Editor, — In your paper of Satur
day I noticed an article from the Au
gusta Constitutionalist, speaking ofan il
lumination, shooting rockets, band of
music, &c., at rny hill in Hamburg; and
the editor seems at last to have learned
the cause ot that jubilation, which was
that I had paid a draft drawn on me by
Mr. Webster, for his retainer in my
Bridge Case, at the Supreme Court. This
draft was sent to the Mechanics’ Bank in
Augusta, for collection and was paid
with specie, and so written on its face by
Mr. Robertson, the Teller.
Now, Sir, is there any thing more in
this than an ordinary and a daily trans
action, or is there any thing so remark
able in my paying a draft drawn on me,
that it requires to be prociained by a pub- j
lie newspaper. A noble thing indeed!
However, I have procured the service of
that distinguished gentleman, in defiance
of the best efforts of rny opponents to the
contrary, and that is enough for me.
It is true that my embarrassments have •
been very great, and that 1 have not got
quite over them as yet; 1 was subjected
to many suits at law. and have been im- ;
prisoned for debt more than once; but are j
these things to be wondered at, when the j
building of one house causes considerable
embarrassment to its builder at times—
that the building of a Town, a pillar to a
State, a home for hundreds or thousands, j
with a commerce of 73,000 bales of Cot
ton for one article alone, per annum, :
should escape the same penalty?
Oh you little souled people, think again,
and again history will proclaim for me if
you wont. But after all this, extraordi
nary as it may appear, rny name has
never been dishonored by any bank in
or out of this Slate for non-payment, ex
cept in one single instance; and I enjoy
an accommodation of one of the banks in |
this City at this very time.
Now, you Mister Constitutionalist, don’t :
let the firing of rockets at my hill frighten
you; there is no danger, for I shoot them
in the air; but as to that mandate for that
half million of dollars, I shall shoot
plump into the vaults of your bank and
into the pockets of your stockholders.
HENRY SHULTZ.
Charleston, Sept. 8, 1846.
Atlanta. —On going down to the Rail
Road this morning, one of the most busy
scenes was presented that we have ever
witnessed at an inland town. It did ns
good to see this evidence of the rapid
progress of Georgia and the great im
portance of this point.
We counted forty-seven freight cars,
six passenger cars, and nine engines, all
of which, having arrived yesterday, some
were now unloading and reloading, at the
different depots, some were passing from
one road to another, and leaving or pre
paring to leave by the different routes, to 1
distribute goods, passengers and intelli
gence to thousands and tens of thousands |
along their now extended course of near
a thousand miles. It was a cheering
sight, and when we reflect that this is only
the beginning what glorious prospects
for the future open up before us! But this
was not all; whilst surveying the busy
see«e, we saw in the distance and upon
the beautiful elevations around us, new
erections rising as if by magic and rapid
ly advancing towards completion. The
carpenter’s hammer, the mason’s trowel
and the painter’s brush, ail going \vi-h
rapidity and effect, which told the urgen
cy of the demand for room and shelter by
our rapidly increasing population. It
was indeed a sight worth looking at. —
Enterprise.
Bad English.—\ capable writer in
the Newark Daily Advertiser is making
an effort to stem the torrent of corrup
tion which threatens to overwhelm our
language, mainly through the ignorance
or carelessness of those who address the
public i» the newspapers. In his first
.number he casligates the error of writ
lug lay instead of lie, and set instead of
sit. These however, are such gross er
rors, and so rarely committed by men of
any pretensions to education, that no ela- i
borate exposure or rebuke of them is need
ed. We commend to the writer in ques
lion, as a fault worthy of his censure, the
increasing disposition to make new ad
verbs by tire addition of ly where it is not
wanted, in very many of the nevvspa
pers we find illy substituted for ill—the
writers seeming to imagine that ill is al
n o
ways an adjective, and must be changed
lo illy where an adverb is required. It
-- is not so. //Zand well are adverbs as well
as adjectives—adverbs when used in con
nection with a verb, adjectives when
with a noun. Nobody, as yet, says “wel
ly done”—why, then, do we meet with
“illy done?” “Well done” and “111 done”
are the proper modes of expression. To
the same category belongs “doubtlessly.”
There is no such word in the language.
“Doubtless” is a proper adverb as it
stands, and wants no addition of “ly” to
make it so. There is frequent error, too,
I in employing the word “previously.”—
This word is correctly used in connection
with a verb, as when we say “I had pre
viously resolved,” and the like. But
where the preposition‘Ho inteiveues, the
word should he “previous;” as “previous
to the arrival of the troops,” 6zc. — N. Y.

lITWe publish Mr. Shultz’s letter to the
News , and take occasion to say that it was
| not we that first made a flourish of trumpets
about the payment of a draft for the moderate
sum of five hundred dollars. We would not !
have been aware that it was so extraordinary !
an event, had we not heard it commemorated j
in the strains of martial music which floated
to our cars across the Savannah, and in the j
brilliant lights that glared upon our optics '
upon the evening to which Mr. S, alludes.
We are really pleased to learn that his |
i credit is so good in Charleston. Longmayhe
! enjoy the accommodation from a Bank, of |
which he boasts. It may perhaps render
him measurably happy, in the illusion of
j which the poet speaks
“Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never is, but always to be blest.”
| Until he gets “to the end of the Law,” such i
j we predict will be the fruits of Mr. bhuitz’s j
i dreams with reference to the mandate for the j
| half million of dollars.
(FTAs a writer signing himself “Prickly
i Ash” in the Chronicle resorts to rhyme in vin
: dication of high tariffs, and in ridicule of j
free trade principles, we will endeavor to 1
repel his attempt at satire, by “another of j
the same sort.”
It will be for the reader of good taste and j
good judgment to award the palm between
the two, whether as regards justness of rea-
I soning, or beauty of style.
The piece which we copy from our paper j
of 1844, has in two years lost none of its
beauty by time, and is applicable with Jundi
j minished force to the tariff absurdities by
i
j which the restrictive system is still sought
| to be upheld in this country.
I BRITISH MARKETS FOR AMERICAN BREAD
STUFFS.
The Constitutionalist of Monday says :
“In the ankles of corn and wheat alone, it is
estimated that the increase of price, owing to the
abrogation of the Corn Laws, calculated upon the
entire product of this country for 1846, amounts to
forty-two millions four hundred and forty thousand
dollars.”
This is a very gratuitous assertion. It is easier
made than proved. We deny its correctness.—
Chronicle , Sept. 30.
This is an illustration kow T much easier it
| is to deny an assertion than to disprove it.
j Does the Chronicle furnish any facts or rea
! soning which influenced his denial? But as
1 he publishes an extract from an English pa- j
per, which admits the fact of high prices, and j
; the probability of their continuance, the pre- j
sumption should have suggested itselt, that 1
! the increase of price is very considerable.
I The Chronicle denies that it amounts to 842,-
440,600. Has he made the calculation? If ;
so, how much does it amount to? Will he
favor the public with his figures?
Our statement is founded on the calcda- i
tion made by the Baltimore Sun. The editor j
asserted the above amount to be the result
derived from the following data. He look
the prices of corn and wheat in 1845; and
the quantity of the same produced in the
country that year. He multiplies, and thus
gels the aggregate value. He then takes the
prices at corresponding periods in 1846, and
(not having the estimate of the product of
1846) presuming the quantity to be equal,
i multiplies and obtains the aggregate value.
He then subtracts, and finds the difference to |
; be 842,440,000 in favor of the prices of 1846. \
| This is within the mark, for it is notorious j
that the product of 1846 far exceeds that of
1845.
Now the Chronicle may figure away as
much as it sees proper. But it winds up, by
saying:
“Neither Free trade nor the American tariff i
has anything to do with it. Without the re
peal ot the Corn Laws, the demand would
have been as great, and the profits of Ameri
cans as great as they will now be."”
Indeed! This latter is a precious confes
sion. How 7 does it tally with the restrictive
high tariffdoctrines of the Chronicle? Does
not the Chronicle declare, has it not regularly
maintained that our protective duties on
British products, diminish their profits, and
that the American consumer gets them as
cheap as if there were no duty? Now oh!
ye high tariffites, it is our bull that gores your
ox. Your own reasoning is against you.
The truth of the matter is, that any laws
tending to restrict and to embarrass the trade
of two countries by oppressive duties, must
diminish the prices of their products, each in
the markets of the other. It is for this reason
the South contends for free trade. Under it,
her agricultural products command their full
price, for they are paid for by the products of
the nation traded with, which are freely pur
chased in exchange.
o*The Picayune of the 26th ultimo, re
ports in full the trial of George O’Bleuis, for
the killing of Franklin Combs at Point Cou
pee, on the 31st December, 1844. The jury
charged with the case were not likely to
agree upon a verdict.
QJTIt is attempted to construe the declara- !
tion of the Democratic Convention which !
nominated Mr, Flournoy,’
‘•They find the people more generally dis
embarrassed than at any former period of
their remembrance.”
into an indirect testimonial in favor of the
operation of the onerous tariff bill of 1842.
Because the people are disembarrassed, it
does not prove that high tariffs have relieved
them. This is an operation of tax laws,
which all the financial skill of the modern
Neckars of the protectionist party cannot ac
complish, and which their most ingenious cy
phering cannot prove. The human under
standing, unclouded by the mists and vapors
| of whig sophisms, which assume that high
1 duties make low prices, revolts at the propo
sition that the larger the revenues gathered
into the public coffers from the people, the
more money remains in the pockets of the
people.
The fact of the disembarrassment alluded
i to, is to be attributed to the return of the
| people in a great measure to cash dealing,
or short credits, and to the judicious economy
which that system inculcates. Superadtled
to this has been the want of the means when
I the cash was required to go into extravagant
i expenditures. Economy being thus forced by
| the hard times upon our people, though a
| sore restraint upon an inclination to prodi
s gality, those hard times have brought bless
' ings in their train. The old saw has been
; verified that “blessings often come in dis
| guise.” The years of hardship and pecu
i niary pressure succeeding the great, expan
| sions and wild speculations of 1834—5-and 6,
; which wound up in the grand explosion of
1837, taught a lesson of prudence, the bene
i fits of which our people are reaping in their
I present comparative freedom from debt. The
j prospect too, has until the recent change in
the policy of our government, been too di--
: couraging to allow our planters to indulge in
( extravagance in hopes of better times. A
i more prosperous future awaits them under
: the liberal legislation, which is now the es
tablished policy of our government, and of
the age.
(CrThe Chronicle of yesterday morning
contains an editorial, which rails against the
I new tariff as a British tariff] and mourns over
the prospect of cheap goods being furnished
to our people as if this were a gfeat national
calamity. It uses this extraordinary expres
sion;
I “The British are full of hope and filled
! with joy, while Americans are covered with
gloom at the prospects of embarrassment that
surround them.”
How many Americans are covered with
; gloom, at this dreadful misfortunel Is it not
I the tariff bill, their own act? Have not the
I
I Americans deliberately resolved in Congress
assembled, that they do not consider it a mis
fortune to lighten the burthens of taxation on
the articles from which the public revenues
are derived? Who, then, are these Ameri
cans, that are so covered with gloom? Com
pared to the great mass of our countrymen,
they are a mere handful. Their profits may
I be diminished by the effect of competition,
which must reduce prices. But a reduction
! of prices is not a cause of gloom to the con
i sinner, who must pay for the articles he con
sumes outof his own hard earnings.
The Chronicle would have come nearer to
j the mark, if it had said that the wealthy
j manufacturers, who have so long been fat
-1 tening upon monopoly, were covered with
gloom.
But to show that even they do not consider
; themselves so badly ruined as their Southern
; sympathisers would have our Southern peo
j pie to believe, we copy the following picture
' of prosperity, which is incautiously published
| in yesterday’s Chronicle—the very same
sheet which contains the lament over “the
I gloomy prospects that surround them.”
What tender hearts and morbid sensibili-

New Mills in Lowell. —The foundation for
a new mill on the carpet is nearly completed.
—This mill will be tilled with power looms
lor carpet weaving. It is to be 272 feet long
by 120 feet wide, two stories high, and light
ed from the top, and will contain 200 looms.
I This company is also putting up a large
’ machine shop, picker-house, and other build
ings. The new Hamilton mill is 317 by 48
feet, and four stories high, calculated for 20,
000 spindles. It is fast being fitted for ope
ration. Part of the building was undermined
i by water last spring, and about 30 feet of it
1 fell into the canal. The new mill on the
: Merrimac is nearly ready for machinery. It
is five stories high; 353 feet in length, and 48
wide, and will run COO looms and 20,000
spindles, and give emoloyment to 500 hands,
it is intended for the manufacture of printing
cloth. The water for this mill is carried from
the canal through an immense wrought iron
feeder, or flume, 8 feet in diameter, with a
fall of about 30 feet. This feeder was made
at the machine shop in this city, and will
cost, together with the expense of laying it
down, nearly $20,000 —This is, we should
think, a decided improvement upon the old
wooden flume. The company are also build
ing a new picker-house, 216 feet long, and a
new waste house, 110 leet long. It is esti
mated that there will be laid, the present
season, by the company, about 5,000,000
brick. They employ at the present time
nearly 15,000 hands, male and female. The
new Prescott mills are nearly ready for
operation. The large mill is lor spinning,
and will contain, when full, 20,000 spindles,
and will be driven by water power. The
smaller mill is to be filled with looms, and a
steam engine of one hundred and eighty horse
power will be used in driving the machinery
The new woolen mill of the Middlesex
company, on Concord river, is 150 by 43 feet
six stories high, with an engine house and
a large engine for use in case of a failure ol
water which is always expected on this river
in summer. The company have also re
cently built a new machine shop and made i
additions to their old mills.
At the Lowell Bleachery, extensive im. I
provemenls arc bsieg made. A large bleach. !
! house, one finishing-house, one dry-house, j
i and engine room for a new engine of 120
horse power are now being built.
Some idea of the growth of Lowell may be j
gathered from these facts. There are a num- ;
her of other establishments, of a smaller
kind, about to be started, and improvements
to be made, of which we shall have something
to say hereafter. —Lowell Courier, Sept. 16.
OUT We copy the following from the Chat- '
tahoochee. It gives us pleasure to notice
any allusion to the mechanical skill and en
terprise of the citizens of Georgia. Having
been presented by Mr. Guimarin some lime
since with a set of his silver vest buttons, we
can testify to the beauty of their workman
ship. Those Buchans, must be rare work
men indeed, if they can “lay Guimarin in the
shade.”
The Augusta and Hamburg papers have lately
spoken in the highest, terms of praise of John Gui
marin, on account of skill and ingenuity iu tire
manufacture of “Silver Bullet Butte ns.” Now, La
Grange is a mere “circumstance” to Augusta—but
if we can’t show all sorts of gold and silver “do
j ings,” manufactured in this place, that will “out- ,
| shine” any thing Augusta ever produced, we are j
vastly “out of our calculations.” We have, in 1
our town, a certain Peter Buchan and his son John, I
, who can lay Guimarin “in the shade,” and “tan '
him out all hollow.” As their shop is nea 1 " our of- 1
fice, we have frequently seen specimens of their j
work in the shapes of silver spoons, breastpins, j
and finger rings, either with or without sets, silver !
and gold shirt and vest buttons, and other articles j
| too numerous to mention—all finished in the most I
j complete and workmanlike manner. Asfor“Silver I
; Bullet Buttons,” they could finish up a set of them
as fast, and with as much ease as a Yankee can |
; w Little a slick.

Mr. Guleu: —The followingjeu d' esprit was de
| livered before a late meeting of the Democratic
Association of Richmond county, on the author’s
being invited to address the Association. Its mo
dest. but witty author, has reluctantly yielded to
the requests of numerous friends for its publication,
| and has, accordingly, left it for that purpose with 1
the “Chairman.” whose request he has assigned j
I as the cause of its production.
No Speaker, nor Statesman, nor Poet, am I,
But, urged by your Chairman, some fund to supply,
For the day’s entertainment, I could not refuse.
And so bring the rude gifts of a plain country muse.
And here, in her name, I demand why tile vvhigs,
Should engross ail the marches, fandangos and jigs?
To their principles true, that insatiable throng.
Would fetter free commerce, in music and song:
In proof of this fact, an example or two,
Will shew that the charge is conclusively true.
In view of our land, by profusion unblest,
Our property plundered, our rights a mere jest.
Our hearth-stones endangered, our altars profaned,
No lunger, hy those who once served us, sustained, j
Betrayed and forsaken, by treacherous friends,
Who’ve left us, in quest of their own selfish ends.
Would we seek the strong l umult of feeling to calm,
And call to our aid the soft notes of a psalm?
‘Stop, slop’ says McPherson, 4 Old Hundred is mine,
I claim by a right little short of Divine,
Converted by Evans, who struck from my eyes,
The scales that obscured the political skies,
| I saw in an instant, like light through a mist,
That the bigger the toll-dish, the larger the grist, i
While the market fur cotton, for wheal ami for rice, '
Proves, the higher the duty, the cheaper the price, j
Great Webster completed, what Evans begun.
By logic, as clear, and as bright as the sun,
He showed that the ‘farmer’s two prices,’implies, ;
That the lower he sells, and the, dearer he buys.
The faster and surer he rises to wealth;
As double depletion increases the health.
He owned that he, once like myself, was benighted,
Until he petceived, that a candle, when lighted,
At both of its ends, was more slowly consumed,
Than another, with only its one end illumed.
His much revered mother, hesaid, had oft told him,
In view of a trait, that compelled her to scold him,
| That‘he who spends tuppence, and only makes one,
i Will some day find out what is meant by a dun.’
I But, while lie admitted, through love and through
duty,
i As applied to himself, both its truth and its beauty; !
j He humbly contended, the rule could not stand,
A moment, when stretched to the tillers of land.
Appealing from logic, he turned to a book, —
Talk of writers, said he, such as Bentham and |
Tooke;
Your Smiths and Ricardos, McCullochs and
Lowe's,
Your Scarhecks, Von Schlegers, Sismondis Pe
chio’s;
| Your Say and your Whatley, your Bovvring and
Mills.
Your Ganders and Horners your Craigs and ;
Ganiih’s;
Why, Sir, the bare list, is enough to provoke us; — |
Here, here is my guide, the Profound Hocus Pocus, I
Whose wisdom, condensed to a few simple rules.
Proceeds on the maxim that mankind are fouls.
And teaches, that, while you should fondly amuse i
them,
’Tis right to despise them, and proper to use them.
He gave me a copy, and guess my delight.
To find on its cover, in characters bright,
‘The Patriot’s Guide, and Philanthropist’s Boon,
‘Or True Jeffersonian Republican Coou.’
And then with a manner half serious, half shy.
He hinted that Taney was younger than 1;
| While the single term rule, by which Clay would
he bound,
Made the line of safe precedents much surer ground.
Next, Adam-assured me, his own favorite band, j
In less than four years, would o’ershadow the land; I
While the votes of the Texans, —man robbers, he j
called them, —
And prayed that hot lead, mixed with brimstone,
might scald them.
That Satan, himself, might the unction prepare,
And Tyler be present its comforts to share,
With Calhoun, and a few of the Georgians as vile.
Here, 1 begged him to pause, with my best ualur’d
smile,
And blandly observed, that I thought he’d digrest,
Since the idea of freedom had warmed up his breast, 1
Perhaps so said lie, with a toss of Ins head.
For to speak of the South makes me think of hot
lead,
To repent then, the Texans, that infamous band,
If admitted to union, which God countermand.
Can afford yon no aid, on the perilous day,
That decides the succession to Henry Clay :
And to wait, you’re too old, if to wait would avail.
So join us. I bowed; and they shouted, all Hail,
Then they sung, to Old Hundred, that grandest of
strains.
In words, that caused thrillings through all of my
veins,
Expressing the joy that intensively burns.
When the oldest and \ilest of sinners returns.
That tune thus endeared, I’d defend with my life,
’Tis dearer than country, than kindred or wife :
And can you imagine ray rk-hts I’ll resign?
Oh, no, Sirs, Old Hundred Old Hundred is mine.”
Derision and scorn, now succeed to despair,
Which we seek to express, by some suitable air.
But the Whigs, old and young, their claims inter
pose;
To the sprightlier, these, to the serious those :
But all to Dan Tucker, which kindles t ncli fire.
Whether sung as a solo, or pealed in full choir,
That you’d think, ’tvvould insure the Chief Magis
trate’s chair,
Not to 3lill Boy alone, but, to meal bag and mare.
But ’tis all affectation, the offspring of tear,
The lower their spirits, the louder they cheer;
As truants from duty, re-double their noise,
Through dread of the rod, that represses their joys.
They know, that the day of account is at hand,
When each must stand forth at the People’s com
mand,
And mountain, and “midland,” and sea board shall
say,
Who once has betrayed us, no more shall betray.
Not caring to squabble for trifles, so vain,
As a right to appropriate this, or that strain.
Ami knowing they need an assortment, complete.
Who dance on their heads, as well as theii feet,
We give up Dan Tucker, and all of his strain,
Without an emotion of pleasure or pain.
But, resolved to contend, in Leonidas’ manner,
For that anthem, an emblem, the Star Spangled
Banner,
We swear to each other, no party to yield,
j Until we have placed a new Star on its field;
Or rather restored, toils luminous station.
| The Pleiad, long lost, of our bright constellation, j
Then hail to that Banner! endeared by the tie, I
That "Freedom, and Triumph, and Glory, supply. 1
It has waved o’er the fields, where our heroes have j
bled;
It has shrouded the forms, of our glorious dead;
It has floated, all proudly. o’erTyranny’a grave,
A pledge that stern Despots no more should enslave.
Our Fathers unfurled it, at Liberty’s birth.
When lo! the bright Skies, and the Sea, and the
Earth,
United their tributes, its folds to adorn,
And the Winds spread it forth, to the Light of the I
Morn.
Thus hallowed, by all that is great, good or fair,
Os its ultimate conquests, ‘tw ere base lo despair;
Not crimsoned with blood, or polluted by crime.
But the Herald of Freedom, to every clime.
Then long be that Star Spangled Banner unfurled,
The Pride of our Country, the Hope of the World.
CEj’Great anxiety is now fell an J ex
pectation is on tip toe to hear from the
advance division of ihe army under Gen.
Worth. The Galveston, which was ex
pected to arrive last evening, will, doubt
less, arrive today, and she may tell of a
collision—an encounter —fierce, perhaps,
but victorious for our arms we are san
guine to believe. If all accounts receiv
; ed do not grievously err, the Mexicans
I moan to make a determined stand at Mon
! terey or Saltillo, or at both. if, as the
; last reports would lead us to believe, a
battle was fought at Cerralvo on the Sih
1 iost., there will lie no further suspension
;of active hostilities on tlie part of Gen.
Taylor—the fire will he kept briskly up
until Monterey and Saltillo are taken, or
our treo s are conquered in the attempt,
; of which we can have no apprehension,
i With the taking of these two strong holds,
i whether at the sacrifice of much Ameri
can blood or not, we believe the war
ceases.
There is no doubt out that Govern
ment connived at, nay, passively aided
the return of Santa Anna to Mexico; nor
islheieany doubt but that it has the as
i suranco of that wily chief that his best
efforts, on assuming power, will be direct
ed to effecting an amicable peace—a
peace with weapons of diplomacy instead
of those of war. It is to he remarked,
that in alibis proclamations and proiiii
ciamientoes since he landed at Vera Cruz,
he has not uttered a disparaging sentence
against our government, and if he iias at
all alluded to the war, it is to direct the
current of military and popular odium
against Paredes and his government. Jt
must also be noted, that instead of
rushing on lo the capital, and eager to
extricate his country from the wretched
and distracted condition in which she is,
at once assuming the power to which he
has been called, he hangs hack at his
hacienda i o recruit his own health instead |
of entering on the task of regenerating
ins country.
Now from all this, we come to the con
clusion—with what accuracy of infer
ence a short time will determine—that
Santa Anna is anxious for a peace—a
final peace with this country; but that
finding manv of the chiefs of the Mexi
can army so very anxious to try their
strength at Monterey until our forces,
where, from their position, they calculate
on decided advantages—he deems it un
wise. at present, lo interfere, however de

suit. .
We therefore say that he will, for this
time only, let them “rip,” as they say on
the river; and that then, and not fill then
—that is, till they get once more well
whipped—will he enteron a specific ad- !
justrnent of existing difficulties.—iV. O.

Kissing. —The following curious facts
in natural history afford matter for pro- I
fitahle reflection, both to the philosopher j
and the man of the world.
The Boston girls hold still until the}’ !
are well kissed, when they flare up all at j
once, and say, “I think you ought lo he j
ashamed.”
When a young chap steals a kiss from |
an Albany girl, she says, “I reckon it’s j
my turn now,” and gives him a box on j
the ear that he don't forget in a week.
In Pennsylvania, when a female is sal
uted with a buss, she puts on her bonnet
snd shawl and answerelh, “1 am astonish- j
ed at thy assurance. Jedediah: for this
indignity I will sew thee up.”
The ladies of New Berlin, however, |
are so fond of kissing that, when saluted j
on one cheek, they instantly present the
other.
The girls of Baltimore, when thus sal
uted hy their beaux, archly remind them
that they live under the laws of Mar{r)y
land. j
DIED, at his residence, in Elbert comity, the j
17th ult., GREEN W. SMITH, in the 4‘Jth year
of his age, of consumption, of which he had been
a sufferer for nine years past.
Before his affliction, he was known as one of the
ablest and and most eloquent lawyers of all that
portion of the State, ami long will his masterly ef
forts, while Solicitor General of the Western Cir
cuit, be remembered for their power and effect, and I
but for the hand of the destroyer so early placed on
him, the hopes of his many friends, that he would
be first among the foremost of the Stale would, ere
this, have been realized. He was as generous as
he was talented, lie is gone, but. long will his
noble and eloquent attitude he remembered by those
who rode the Western Circuit during the days of
his health and manhood. lie was born in Frank
lin, and married in Elbert county to the daughter
of the late George Cook, on the 18th day of Febru- i
rnary, 1816, whom he has left disconsolate and |
deeply afflicted at her Joss. He died in the arms of j
son, in the possession of his faculties, and willing j
to meet his God.

Mr. Seth U . Fowle, Boston :
Dear f>ir, —Permit m ■ to address myself,throngh
| you to all who are suffering with any pulmonary
complaint, and advise arjd recommend all such to
use at once Dr. Wistar’s great remedy. A medi
cine which I sincerely believe will cure, if a cure
be possible; and not waste theirjime and money
I on the many trashy and worthless nostrums of the
| day. One year ago last fall, J took a sudden cold,
which settled at once upon my lungs. I was
■ soon obliged to take my room. A severe cough
followed, and I soon lost my appetite, and conse
quently my strength. I became very much redu
ced, suffered severe pain in the side, breast,
: shoulders, &c. 1 coughed much of nights and raised
i large quantities of matter, sometimes accompanied
with blood. I continued to grow worse, and was
obliged to consult a physician, who vi.-ited and
| prescribed for me several limes, but afforded me
little relief. I became discouraged and alarmed
I at my situation ; my family and neighbors suppose
j ed I could not live long. Fortunately 1 found one
! of Dr. Wjstar’s pamphlets, and, like a drowning
man, “catching at straws,*’ 1 took courage, and
1 sent immediately fora bottle of WIBTARS BAL
j SAM OF WILD CIIERRV. My disease was
i so deeply rooted, however, that I was obliged to
! get a second and a third bottle before I began to
1 improve perceptibly. I kept on until I had taken
; two more bottles; continuing to improve, 1 soon
i regained my appetite and strength. I continued
j to grow better until the summer, when I was able
! to do a days work on my farm every day, and have
continued so to do. My health has not been better
for four years than at this time. To your inva
luable medicine, now so universally popular, I
feel indebted, through Providence, fur the preser
vation of my life. Try it for yourselves.
Signed, WILLIAM BEATTY.
I arn personally acquainted with Mr. Beatty,
and knows his statement to he true, and that he is
| entitled to the full confidence of the public.
