Cherokee wide Awake.
The organs of Mr. Fillmorfl in the cities be
low, are constantly misleading their readers by
reports of the glorious progress of their cause
in the up-country, and we know of no better
means of opening the eyes of our deluded friends
in Middle and Lower Georgia, than to give
them the names of such changes as have come
to our knowledge in favor of either Mr. Buch
anan or Mr. Fillmore.
Here in Cobb, Maj. Robertson, Mayor of
Marietta last year; Col. N. B. Knight, present
Mayor; A. D. Hammett, formerly President
■of the A A & N Telegraph Cos., N M Calder,
who run for Ordinary, last January on the
American ticket; and many others, all of whom
were with the American party last year, are
now for Buchanan.
In Cherokee couuty, Dr. Foster and J L
Harbin, who run for the Legislature hist year:
Mr. Jordon, who was elected Ordinary against
the Democratic nominee, aud Mr. Donalson,
elected Sheriff in the same way, with one or two
of the Dickerson’s, and several more substan
<ial men whose names we do not recollect, all
•of whom were zealous Americans last year, are
going for Buchanan.
In Pauldiug we are not ‘posted up,’ but
Samuel Shcats, Esq., who run for the Legisla
ture last year, on the American ticket, is a
Buchanan man.
Col. Chisolm of Folk, Judge T II Trippe,
and Col. Lewis Tomlin, of Cass, are all support
ing the democratic nominees. We might name
many others, but the above who nil occupied
1-ading positions in the party, must suffice fpgj
the present.
We have heard of but two converts from
the Anti-Know Nothing and democratic Pajt&i*
fe Mr. Fillmore —Mr. R H Tatum, of Dade,
ami Mr. Latimer, formerly of this place, but
now in Atlanta. If any body will furnish us
the names of other converts to Mr. Fillmore,
we will cheerfully publish them, and give the
toaraps of two changes for Buchanan to every
vne Fillmore.— Cherokee. Georgian.

A call appears in this city, numerously sign

Fyur hundred volunteers have already gone
from Jackson county, and large companies sire
forming in other counties.
Robinson and Brown are still in custody of
the territorial authorities, and Gen. Percifer F.

of his eommaml to be ready for instant ser
vice.
Our advices from St. Louis, Mo., are to the
23d iust., and report that the late despatches
from Kansas have produced great excitement
in all the towns of Missouri. At Boouville
measures were instantly taken, and the sum of
$5,000 promptly realized to forward volunteers
in aid of Governor Shannon, and in support of
the laws. The same spirit prevails through the
border counties so far as heard from, and many
citizens of discretion and substance had offered
their services to proceed to Kansas and remain
until law and order are restored. Tidings of
new conflicts arc hourly expected.

It will be seen from the annexed letter from
Hon. J. K. Dowdell, to the Chambers Tribune
that Georgia’s most distinguished son, Hon.
Alexander 11. Stephens, is to be at Opelika,
in this State, on the Gth of September. We
trust that the necessary steps will be taken to
induce Mr. Stephens to extend his visit to our
city. He has many and warm admirers here,
who are anxious to hear him on the questions
of the day :— Advertise) Gazette.
W ASHINGTON, Aug. 16/
Dear Sir : I write in great haste
to let you know that the lion. Alexander H.
Stephens, of Georgia, has kindly consented to
address our people at Opelika, on Saturday,
the 6tb day of September next. Let due pub
licity be given, and the people will turn out to
hear the distinguished Georgian. It is very
i kely the last time that he will be able to visit
our State, during the campaign.
That he will be greeted by thousands, I
have no doubt. Ilis high talents and #reat
worth eminently entitle him to be heard in this
crisis.

Fusion in PennsylTa^^^^^^^l
A correspondent of tjie
(a Fillmore paper) writing from PennsymMJl
1 masts that the friends of Fillmore & Fremont
in that State are generally uniting against
Buchanan. He says:
Having a few lidurs leisure in Chambersburg
prior to the cars starting, I attended a coun
try political convention being there to nominate
candidates for Frankffji county. There was
much excitement and a large'gathering. Two
sets of delegates (Americans and Republicans)
were present. They all met in the Court
House,and without the slightest disputation nom
inated a union ticket representing both parties,
preponderating in Fillmbres proclivities. Asa
general thing throughout Pennsylvania, thcsc
partits—all opposing Buchanan— have there
* nited or intend uniting The indications are
also r cry conclusive that ‘they design affiliating at
the Presidential cant at.
The desire to defeat Bncbanan is so intense
that they say any means will justify, the
ends.
Cumberland county a day or two ago also
Dominated a union ticket of Americans and Re
publicans to defeat democracy.*
And that appears without rebuke in a Fill
more organ.
Americans of Georgia ! Such is the ban
quet to which you are invited. Defeat Buch
anan with Fillmore if you can—but by all
means defeat him.
The same paper has at iast taken ground
openly in favor of the restoration of the Mis
ronri compromise. How long before the Know
Vcthm” presses of Georgia will follow shit.

The Taylor Cabinet.
The “Taylor Cabinet” was composed, as our
readers will remember, of Messrs. Clayton, as
Secretary of State ; Meredith, as Secretary of
the Treasury ; Ewing, as Secretary of the In
terior ; Crawford, as Secretary of'War ; Pres
ton, as Secretary of the Navy ; Collamer, as
Post Master General ; and Reverdy Johnson,
as Attorney General. Every one of these gen
tlemen was “an old line Whig and every one
of them esteemed for his ability and patriotism.
One of the positions now occupied by two of
these gentlemen in the present political contest,
Messrs. Meredith and Crawford, we are not
advised. Os one, Mr. Collomer, there is no
doubt. The Black Republicans have got him,
as they should have, for we cannot forget his
love for the loaves and fishes of office, so plain
ly exemplified when, upon the death of Gen.
Taylor, he was advised of Mr. Fillmore's in
tention to supercede him by the appointment
of another Post Master G eneral. But of the
others, how do they stand ? Look to it, “old
line Whigs of Georgia !” CLAYTON, in
Delaware, where he has always been the mas
ter spirit of the old Whig Party, is out for
Buchanan and Breekenridge ! Ewing, in Ohio,
patriotically resisting the powerful and over
whelming abolition influence of that State, is
out for Buchanan and Breekenridge ! PRES
TON, in Virginia, is traversing that State,
and from one end of it to the other, is advo
cating the election of Buchanan and Brecken
ridge ! And REVERDY JOHNSON, in
Maryland, heart and soul, with all the power
ofms eloquence and intellect, is rallying the
vvmg forces of that State, to the standard of
Buchanan and Breekenridge ! Is there no
sign in this ? Southern Whigs, Southern vo
ters, look to it well 1 Democrats, do you not
see in it that which should animate you on to
renewed exertions, and confirm you in your
faith T Whigs, ought you not to take counsel
by the way, and throwing prejudices aside,
stand by the Constitution ? Americans, Know
Nothings, do you not see in it defeat ? Do
you not see in it a total rout of your forces,
horse, foot and dragoons ?—Atlanta Examiner.
o_Wc have always been at a loss to know why the pub
lic looked with a more lenient eye upon the counterfeits of
a popular medicine, than the counterfeit of a bank bill.—
We think the crime of the former of a much deeper dye
than ithe latter. The one robs money only ; the oth’
er of both money and health. We call upon all good citi
zens to denounce both the seller and manufacturer of sueh
spurious trash. We have boon assured that Dr. M’Lane’s
Celebrated Vermifuge and Liver Pills have been so imitated

We are again called upon to mourn the deatn of a de
ceased worthy brother. John Crockett is.no more ! He
expired at his residence in Henry county, on the 10th day

Resolved, That the usual badge of mourning be worn by

Professor O. J. Wood’s
Hail’ Restorative, for producing hair on Batd Heads, and
restoring Gray Hair to its Natural color.
THIS astonishing and unequalled preparation has never
failed to produce a growth oil Bald Heads, when used
according to the directions, and turn hair back to its orig.
inai color, after having become grey, and reinstate it in all
its original health, lustre, softness, and beauty. Removes
atoncoall scurf, and unpleasant itehiDg, scrofula, erup
tions and feverish heat from the sculp. It also prevents
the hair from becoming unhealthy and falling off, and
hence acts as a perfect Hair invigorator and Tonic.
A gentleman of Boston writes to his friends in New Bed
ford thus:
To your inquires I would reply, that I first commenced
using Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, my hair was almost
white and had been so fob the last ten years, and it was
very thin on the top of my head, and very loose, and pulled
out freely; but I found before 1 had used all of the second
bottle, (which was eight weeks,) my liair was entirely
changed to its original color, (light brown) and is now free
from dandruff, and quite moist. I have had my hair cut 5
or 6 times since the change* and have never seen anything
like white hair starting from the roots: and it is now as
thick as it ever was, and does not come out at all. It has
prevailed in my case all that I could wish to ask.
July l, 1855. Yours Ac. _
Gardiner, Maine, June 22, 1854. ’
Dear Sir.- I have used two bottles of Prof. Wood’s Hair
Restorative, and can truly say, it is the greatest discovery
of the age, for restoring and changing the hair.—
Before using it, I wasas gray as a man of seventy. My hair
lias now attained its original color. You can recommend
it to the world,without the least fear, as my case was one
of the worst kind.
D N MURPHY.
St. Lons, March 7 1854.
Prof. Wood: My hair commenced falling oft’ some three
or four years since, and continued to do so. uutill I became
quite bald. I tried all the popular medicines of the day,
but lo no effect. At last, I was induced to try your celebra
ted Hair Restorative,and am happy to say, it is doing won
ders. I have now a fine growth of ‘ young hair, aud cheer
fully recommend its use to all similarly afflicted.
A. C. WILLIAMS, 133 Second street.
Rasin Mich., Aug. 2,1855.
This is to certify, that one year ago, 1 was quite gray,
and my hair so thin upon the top of my head, that I feared
its entire loss. In this condition, I applied for and obtain
ed a bottle of Prof. Wood’s ‘Restorative,’ and before I had
used one quart bottle, the gray hairs had entirely disap
peared and it had thickened up, so as to he full as usual and
it assumed a glossy appearance, appearentlv more beautiful
than ever it was before. Ido therefore, cheerfully rccom
mend it to all those ladies’ who value a beautiful head of
hair. I “will aiso state that I uso it now, occasionally, for
its healthy aud beautifying effects.

I have used Professor Wood's Hair Restorative to decided
advantage. ‘lt prevents the hair from coming out, gives it

used it, and concur with me in pronouncing it all it profess

COTTON HARVESTER, FOR PICKING
COTTON IN THE FIELD. *
THIS valuable machine, second .only to the invention of
the Cotton Gin, is destined to produce a remarkable
change in the method of gathering cotton from the field
It will do the work of from three to five hands in picking
eottoh from the stalk, and-is evidently a labor-saving ma
chine. Its benefit to the Planter Is incalculable. It picks
the cotton clean ahd free froto trash, leaves it in excellent
condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing
the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ne
pidity of its Work, will enable the Planter to prepare hla
crop for market at an early 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 shouldersAnd Ih operated by means Ufa Crunk
turned hy the hand or fingers. The simplicity of this Har
dline 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 lost a series
of veals: .
We are now selling State and County Rights for the man
ufacture and use of the above machine. Any infomation
relative thereto, can be obtained by calling on A. Wildbur,
