Sumner, saving that he would prevent the meetiug of the Legislature. They were however unheeded. Both branches of the Legislature met on the 4th. The same day Col. Sumner entered the town with 200 dragoons, and planted two cannon at the head of Kans is avenue, while th- roops were drawn np before constitution al Hall, where the Legislature was assembled. Col. Sumner told the citizens he would not disarm them or break up the Convention hut he had orders to dissolve the Leg.slature, and would do so. Col. Saunter repaired to the Hall of Represtatives and said: “I am called upon to perform the most painfu duty of my life.— Uuder the authi rity of the President of the Un.ted States I am here to dissolve the Leg is’atarc la accordance with my orders I command you to disperse, God knows I have no party feelings in the matter, and I will have none while 1 hold my present ) ositi< n in Kan sas. I have just returned from the border where I have been sending home the Missou rians. and I am now here with instructions to disperse the Legislature. I again command you to disperse ” * Judge Schuyler asked if they were to under stand that they were to be driven out at the poiui of the bayonet C>!.

He had been for a long time in impaired health, and the immediate cause of his death was ossification of the heart. He was for many years a leading and distinguished poli tician in Georgia, and occupied a seat in the United States Senate from March, U 37, to March, 1843. Since his re tirement from that high position, he has participated hut little in the active politics of the country. Religious Notice. taßev.

THIS valuable machine, second only to the invention of the Cotton Gin, is destined to produce a remarkable change iu the method of gathering cotton from the field It will do the work of from three to live hands in picking cotton from the stalk, and is evidently a labor-saving ma chine. Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent condition for ginning-—obviates the necessity of exposing the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra pidity of its work, “will enable the Planter to prepare his crop for miuketat mt-ea-ely day, leaving him time for the improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general arrangement of the Plantation. It is light, weighing about 8 pounds, is suspended by a strap over the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank turned by the hand or fingers. The simplicity c*’ this ma chine is its leading feature—it is not liable to get out of or der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent to use it. One harvester, with proper care, will last a series of years. VVe are now selling State and County Rights for the man ufacture and use of the above machine. Any infoination relative thereto, can be obtained by calling on A. Wild bur, General agent for Georgia, Florida, North and South Caro lina, at his office, 111 Bay Street, Savannah.

DISCOVERT! PROFESSOR Wood's Hair Restorative, is, no doubt, the most wonderful discovery of this age of progress, for it will restore, permanently, grey hair to itsorigiualcclor, co ver the head of the bald with a most luxuriant grow th, re move atonce all dandruff and itching, cure all scrofula and other cutaneous eruptions, such as scald head, Ac. It will cure, as if by magic, nervouß or periodical headache, make the hair soft, glossy and wavy, and preserve the color per fectly, and the hair from falling, to extreme old age. We could give the testimony of more than one hundred thousand to the truth of every word w e have written. See circularand the following : The following is from a distinguished member es the med ical profession : St. Paul, January 1, 1865. Prof. O. J. Wood—Dear Sir : Unsolicited, I send you this certificate : After being nearly bald for a long time, and havingtried all the hair restoratives extant, and having no faith in any, I was induced on hearing oi’ jours, to give it a trial. I placed myself in the hands of a barber, and bad my head rubbed w r ith a good stiff brush, and the lestorative then applied, and well nibbed in, till the scalp was a glow. This I rrpeated every morniDg, and in three weeks the young haie appeared, and grew rapidly from August last, till the pi'sent time, and is now’ thick, black and strong— soft and pleasant to the touch ; whereas, liefore it was harsh and wiry, what little there was of it, aud that little was dis appearing very rapidly. I still use your restorative about twice a week, and shall soon have a good and peifect crop of hair. Now if I had read of these tilings, and who has not ? but have not seen hitherto any case where any per son's hair was really benefited by any of the hair tonics,’ &c., 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 has 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 tlianka for the benefit it has done me, for I certainly bad despaired long ago of ever effecting any such result* Yours hastily, J W BOND Firm of Bond & Kellog. Druggist,St. Paul We annex a few certificates to corroborate our assertions: Carlisle, 111., June 27, 1853. I have used Prof. O J Wood’s hair restorative, and have admired its wonderful effect My hair was becoming, as I thought, permanently grey, but by the use of the restora tive, it has resumed its original color, and I have no dcub permanently so.

WM DYER Brookfield, January 12, 1855 Prof Wood—Dear Sir : Having made trial of your Hah; Restorative, it gives me pleasure to say, that its effect has been excellent in removing inflamation, dandruff, and a constant tendencyto itching, with which I have been trou bled from my childhood ; and has also restored my half, which was becoming grey, to its original color I have used no other article, with any thing like the same pleasure, or profit Yours truly, , J K BRACG 114, Market Street, St Louis, March 5-, 1855 , Dear Sir : I am doing an extensive travel in the Wert and South-western States, as general agent for Adams’American Liniment,and would be glad if .you Would favor me with a consignment of Prof Wood’s Hair Restorative, as I feel as sured that I can introduce it in many places where it is not known, as my head is a living testimony of its valuable pro perty. in restoring the hair to its natural color. lam forty years old, and my hair was. almost white ; but after using three half pint bottles, my hair is as beautiful auburn as it was at sixteen, and much improved in appearance, and I would not be without a bottle on hand, for the price of ten I should be Very glad to attend to any matter connected with the Hair Restorative I have been for fifteen years engaged, in the same business, and will be glad to _h£® r Very respectfully, WM B BROOME jfyO J WOOD A GO..
