il is 1101 at all unlikely that many a fieW will pre

don’t choose to allow themselves to be multiplied
in that particular way. It is not long since that
a neophyte in the science of arboriculture, in
this city, purchased a line lot of shrubs purporting
to be the genuine morus multicaulis which, on
being examined by Mr. Thorburn, proved to be

To oub Pat no vs.—Last Tuesday’s “Sex’*
numbeced ‘‘52.” Our first volume is completed.
We agreed to edit and print a weekly paper from
the 17th March 1838, for the public, for the sum

it as soon as the mail can bring it. We want

become a dead loss by your delinquency. O.
course our distant subscribers can pay or not,fust

\ our honesty, dear sir, is our only guarantee for
payment. Wo think we can logically demon

very soon; bat then logical conclusions may not
bring more subslantial results than the mere pen

Men oca—On the night of the 20th ult., a
man by the name of Win. B. Harper, was shot
at the Washington Hotel, Vicksburg; it is thought
by Mr. Tippo, the keeper of the hotel. Mr. T.
h id been intoxicated during the day, and Harper
was a boarder at the house. Before the affair
todk place. Harper, who lodged in the same room
with Tippo, declared that he would compel Tip
po to give up his arms, which he had been flourish
ing before lie went to bed. Tippo it seems did
so, but both being in the room together, they got
into an irregular duel, and discharged pistols at
each other. Harper was shot between the third
and fourth ribs, and expired before any one came
to the spot, and Tippo it appears was shot through
the left side, a little above the ischium, (a flesh
wound), but it was not known until the 21st.—
Tippo is in jail awaiting bis trial,
The Sentinel of the 23d says that Tippo had
bean discharged after an investigation of the case
before Justices Maxey and Everett—it was sup
posed he acted in self-defence.

DR. WILLIAM EVANS’ ME DU INKS,
Are composed of vegetable substances, which exert
a spacinc action upon the lieait, give an impulse or
strength to the arterial system ; t.ic h ood is quick
ened and equalized in its circulation through all the
vessels, whether of tuc skin, the parts situated in
ternally, or the extremities ; and as ad the secre
tions of the body are drawn from the blood, there
is a consequent increase of every secretion, and a
quickened action of the absorbent and exlialent, or
discharging vessels. Any morbid action which
may have tvken place is corrected, all obstructions
are removed, the Mood is purified,and the body ic
sum s a hca thl’ul state.
These medicines after much anxious toil and re
search, having been bron >bt by the proprietor to
fie present st ite of perfci tio i, supersede the use of
he innumerable other medicines ; and a.c so well
a I iptedto the frame, that the use of them, by main
t lining the body in the duo performance of its
functions, and preserving the vital stream in a pure
and healthy state, causes it to last many years long
er tiian it otherwise would, and the mind to be
come so composed and tranquil, that od age when
it arrives will appear a homing, and not (as too
many who have neglected their constitutions, or
bad them injured by medicines ad Ministered by i •-
no.ance) a source of misery and abhorrence.
They are so compounded, that by strengthening
and equalizing the action of the heart, liver, and
other viscra, they expel the bad, acrid or morbid
matter, which renders the blood impure, out of the
circulation, through the excretory duets into the
passage of t ie bowels, so tiiat by the brisk o> slight
evacuations which may be regulated by the doses,
always remembering that while the evacualinns
from the bowels are kept up, tne excretions from all
the other portions of the body will ako he going
on in the same proportion, by which means the
blood inva.iabiy becomes pii.ilied.
Sicily perseverance in I lie use of the medicine
will undoubtedly elfect a cure even in the most
acute or obstinate diseases; but in such cases the
dose may be augmented, according to the inveteracy
of the disease; tire medicines being so admirably
adapted to the constitution, that they mav be taken
at all times
In all casus of hypochondriacism, low spirits,pal
pit tions of the heart, nervous irritability, nervous
weakness, flour al..us, seminal weakness, indiges
tion. Joss of appetite, flatulency, heartburn, general
debi ity, bodily weal ness, chlorosis or g.ecn sick
ness, flatulent or hysterical faintings, hysterics
headache, hiccup, sea sic ness, night-mare, gout’
rheuma ism, asthma, tic douloreaux, cramp, spas
modic affections, and those who are victims to that
Inost excrqtipting disorder, Gout, will find relief
, from tlieirsulfeiings, by a course of Dr. William
S Evans's Pills,
a, _.Nausea, vomiting, pains in the side, limbs, head,
• ~*vmach or bach, dimness or confusion of sight,
noises in the inside, alternate flushings of heat and
chilliness, tremors, watchings, agitation, anxiety
lad dreams, spasms, will in every case be relieved
by an occasional dose of Dr. Evans’s medicines.
One of the most dangerous epochs to femalesjis
at the change of life; and it is then they require a
medicine which will so invigorate their circulation
and thus strengthen tlier constitutions as may cna
hie t om to withstand the shock.
Those who h ve the rare and education of Fe
* males, whether the studious or the sedentary par
■of the community, should never be without a sup
•*p‘y of Dr. Evans’s PiiK which remove disorders
la the head, invigorate the mind, strengthen the
I
body, improve tlit memory, ami einvn the imagin
ation.
When the nervous system has been too largely
drawn upon or overstrained, nothing is better to
correct and invigorate the drooping constitution
than these medicines.

Mrs. J. E. Johnson, wife of Capt. Joseph John

years with Tic Doloreux, violentpa in her head,
and vomiting with a burning heat in the stomach,
and unable to leave her room. She could lind no
relief from the advice of several physicians, nor
from medicines of any kind, until after she commen
ced using Dr. Evans's medicines, of 100 Chatham
street,and from that time she began to amend, and
eels satisfied if she continues the medicine a few

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.
Dr. Wm. Evans’ Celebrated Soothing Syrup,
for Children Cutting their Teeth.
This infallible remedy lias preserved hundreds of
children, when thought past recovery, from con
vulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the
gums, the child will recover. This preparation is
so innocent,so ellicaoious, and so pleasant that no
child will refuse to lot its gums be rubbed with it.
When infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are voungchildren ; for
if a child wakes in the night with pain in the
gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease by open
ing tho pores an 1 healing the gums ; thereby pre
venting convulsions. fevers, &c.

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Cotton —On the reception nf the accounts from
Liverpool to the 7th of March, our market again
revived ;an advance took place of at east halt a
cent, per lb. on all sold; the quantity offering has
not teen heavy, as most of our holders are await
ing the accounts expected by the Great Western
steam packet.
Freights —To Savannah are now dull at 50 cts
perbae; to Charleston $1 per bale is asked, and
but little shippin g.
New-Oaleans, April 13.
Cotton. —Received since utn instant, 15,241
bales; exported 18,767 do; leaving a stock on
band of 1.6,041 bales, including all on ship board
not cleared.
Our last review left the market in a very dull
and declining situation, winch war increased by
tne reception on Satuiday of advices from Liver
| pool and Havre to the gel uJt, which did noi bring
the expected advance in these markets.
This inactivity continued until Tuesday, when
a revival took place ; the sales on that day amount
ed to 2000 ba cs at a decline from tiie highest point
of jc. on all qualities except good and line; since
however the demand has been active and the daily
sales will average 3000 bales with a decided change
for the better, and our market closed thinly at toe
quotations below.
The upward tendency is attributed to the now
general belief in a very diminished supply as com
pared witii last year—more especially to the evi
dent favorable turn on the first March at Liver
pool towards cotton, and the strong impression
amongst dealers that the Great Western to leave
Bristol on the 23d ult. (at which time there wouid
appear ag. cat deficiency in the imports from this
country) wi 1 bring satisfactory advices not only as
to the price of cotton, but also as to the improved
demand for both yarns and goods at .Manchester.
