Held up yore hed with difficulty, and
How tremenjuayu are now, I feel
Just as if I shod bu.:,t and Hi oil round and want
To git down off of the sense, and git .-hut,

Topersous 31ailing Letters to Caiifor
nia ami tlie Territories of Osegoti and
Wasliingtojß.
Thousand of letters sent to the Pacific c..ast
become dead letters. To remedy this evil*, tin*
Post Office department, under the authority
of Congress, has adopted as an auxiliary to ts
operations, the following plan tVom s rn hum -
onsly publishihg at each, and ev<q \ p st Os
lice, in the Pacific region in a li t on led the
‘‘Paci sic Mail List,” the names of persovs to
wliom letters have been sent by mail to > ost
offices in Callifornia, and the Tt rit rims of Ore
gon and Washington By this system, a let
ter may be sent to any post office in the Pacific
region, for a person whose location is unknown
save ihe mere fact, that he is somewhere in Cal
iforuia or tlie territories of Oregon and Was
ington, yet, if the letter be published iu the
“Pacific Mail List, ’ its ultimate reception by
the person for whom it was intended, will be
rendered highly probable To enable those
who may desire to extend to their Pacific
correspondents the advantage thus offered, the
following illustration is given.
Suppose it is wished to send lo the Sacra
raeuto Post Office a letter for George Wilson,
who emigrated to California from Pike Coun
ty, Missouri, but it is feared that he may have
changed his location and lienee may not receive
the letter, iu this case, direct tlie letter to
George Wilson (late of Pike County, Missou
ri,) Sacramento California. Then in order to
publish the letter in the “Pacific Mail List,”
copy the address of the letter upon a piece of
paper or card and enclose the card, together
with a three cent postage stamp, in an envel
ope, and direct the envelope to the “Pacific
Mail ListNew York
Deposit the letter as usual in the mail for
California, and at the same time drop the en
velope, containg tlie card to publish the letter.
in the mail for New York. From the address
_on the card thus received at the New York
Post Office, the name, George W.lson, will b
entered iu its appropriate place in the “Pacific
Mail List,” which List is primed and sent br
each mail, to each and every postmaster in
California, aud the territories of Oregon ana
Washington, and by them posted in.a conspic
uous place in their respective offices The list
being thus distributed over tlie entire Pacific
region, George Wilson may at once learn from
it, that a letter for him has been sent to the
Sacramento Post Office. No person of a sim
ilar name will receive the letter, for the ad
dress on it points out tbat.it is hit ended for
George Wilson (late of Pike county Missouri,
Thus many letters will be received, that would
otherwise be transmitted to the Dead Letter
Office.
The envelopes containing the advertising
cards, sent to the “Pacific Mail List,” New
York, pay postage like ordinary mail matter,
and must be pre paid. The addresses of let
ters copied on the pieces of paper, or cards
should be written in a plain and distinct man
ner. The Three cent po. tage stamps enclosed
in the envelopes, defray theexpences of publi
cation, and must not be pasted to the cards,
but simply enclosed with them; in the üb-ence
of postage stamps, three cent coins may be
substituted.
It is believed that this circular lias been
drawn up so explicitly as to require no expla
nations, but ‘should this prove not to be the
case, post masters will take notice, that all
interrogatories must be addressed to the
“Pacific Mail List,” New York, aud uot to
the department.

IN mercy to the afflicted, and the gratitude and limliopin
ion I entertain of 1)R. MOSELEY as a Surgeon and Phy
sician, 1 deem it myduty to mention the case of my wife
hoping at the same time that all persons similarly afflicted’
may be benefitted by it. In the first pint of this year my
wile had several small lumps make their appearance in her
breast; they continued to increase in size, until the whole
breast became a diseased mass, and very painful. I procured
the best medical aid in the city of Rome,and notwithstanding
the earnest and faithful attention of our most skillful physi
cians, she continued to grow worse and worse, until they
gave the case up its incurable, and advised amputation. I
was advised by many of rny friends, to visit Dr. Moseley, of
Griffin, Ga„ which 1 did, and, astonishing as it may seem,
he had her entirely cured within one month, and she is now
in good health! \ would advise all who are afflicted with
Scirrhue, and Cancerous affections to visit the Doctor with
out delay, as I am satisfied by experience and observation,
that be is the most skillful physician in tlieSouthern States,
in the treatment of that horrible disease—cancer.

thousand to the truth of every word we have written. See
circularand the following:
The following is from a distinguished member of the med
ical profession :
St. Paul, January 1, 1855.
Prof. O. J. Wood—Dear Sir : Unsolicited, Isend you this
certificate : After being nearly bald for a long time, and
having tried all the hair restoratives extant, and having no
faith in any, I was induced on hearing of yours, to give it
a trial. I placed myself, in the hands of a barber, and had
iny head rubbed with a good stiifhrusli, and the restorative
then applied, and well rubbed in, till the scalp was a glow.
This 1 repeated every morning, and in three weeks the
young hair appeared, and grew rapidly from August last,
till the present time, and is now thick, black and strong
soft and pleasant to the touch ; whereas, before it was harsh
and wiry, what little there was of it, and that little was dis
appearing very rapidly. I still use your restorative about
twice a week, and shall soon liaVe a good and perfect crop
of hair. Now if 1 had read of these things, and who has
not? but have not seen hitherto any case where any per
son’s hair was really beueiitted by any of the hair tonics,
Ac., of the day, and it really gives me pleasure to record
the result of my experience. I have recommended your
preparation to others, and it already nas a large and gen
eral sale throughout the Territory. The people here know
its effects,and have confidence in it. The supply you sent
us, as wholesale agents for the Territory, is nearly exhaust
ed, and daily inquiries are made for it. You deserve credit
foryour discovery ; and I, for one, return you my thanks
for the benefit it has done me, for I certainly had despaired
long ago of ever effecting any such result.
