€\it Empire State. SEPTEMBER 24th, 1856. a.Col. \V. H. F. Hall will address his fellow-citizens -■at the Court-Ground of the First District, in Pike county, un the ’political topics of the day, on Saturday, the 4tb day of October next. Fire in Macon. — We have been favored with the following piece of intelligence from Macon ‘* V A large fire occurred here this morning The Hvashington Hall and all Mulberry Street from Hhe Bank of Middle Georgia, to Mr. Salsbury ? s Ulothiug Store is consumed.— Examiner. Another Pine Buggy. On looking through the large Carriage Reposi tory of Messrs. Woodruff & Cos., a few days since, we discovered another ona of those fine Buggies, with Patent Springs, one above and one below each axle, with body made of hickory carved in most beautiful style, silver loops and steps. This bug gy is at least worth looking at, and in our judg ment, from its construction, will do good service. Price with harness, $250, and only weighs alto gether about 225 lbs. Any style of Carriage may be had at this House, upon the most favorable terms. All their work being warranted to them and of the very best ma terial and finish, they hazard nothing in warrant ing the same to others. This is an old house, and they have stood the test for years. You can rely on w’nt they tell you. If you want a carriage, give them a call. Sunday Scliool Celebration. On Saturday, the 21st inst., the Sunday School of the Methodist Church had a Celebration, at which about 200 Pupils were in procession They were addressed by the Rev. C. W. Key, Pastor of the Methodist Church, formed a procession, and marched to the Ware House of Messrs Hill, Nall & Hay. where they partook of a most bountiful Pic Nic, furnished by the friends of the School for the occasion. The Sabbath School is an institu tion which is worthy of the support and patronage of all good citizens. Peaches —Second Crop. We received, a few days since, from one of our lady subscribers in this city, a specimen of peaches, a second crop from the same tree this year. They were not quite so large as the first crop, but the taste and flavor equally as fine. — That Hat. Charley Johnson, of the Hardware Store, one of the cleverest fellows in the world, will accept our thanks for a splendid new hat. These little favors never come amiss. Charley’s establish inent is now out of Hats, but if you want anything in the Hardware line—just any thing you can call for—that is the place to go and get them. ‘Phis is the only house in the city, we believe, who keep exclusively Hardware articles. Call at the sign of the “Big Lock,” and supply your wants. Good articles and cheap bargains can be hud there. Fine Che-vviug Tobacco. The lovers of the “nauseous weed,” will find at Mr. J. F. McLendon’s store an article a little su perior to any thing of the kind we have ever seen in this market. It is the leaf of the genuine old Virginia stamp, pure and unadulterated by any noxious drugs. It would even be excusable in a lady to use this tobacco. We have tried it, but don’t take our word for it. Go and try for your selves. Large Potatoes. Mr. James Gardner has left at our office a spe cimen of sweet potatoes, which surpasses any thing we had conceived of for the present year. They weighed over three pounds each. Beat this who can Godey’s Lady’s Book. This truly valuable publication, came to hand ■with its usual punctuality. Godey is always in time. The October number just received, has three full page colored engravings, the greatest number ever yet given in any one number of a Magazine, besides the usual variety. The present number contains GO Engravings, 100 pages, and 74 articles. The Star of Dawn will attract attention and be admired by all who sec it. Asa family pa per, Godey has stood unrivalled for more than half a century, and its usefulness and popularity in crease with every succeeding volume. We com mend it to the patronage of all our readers. Arthur’s Home Magazine. We received at our sanctum, ahead of the usual time, this truly welcome visitor for October. The work is now passing through its eighth volume, and is rapidly growing into public favor. Arthur is certainly one of the best literary waiters of the age. The present number of the Magazine is em bellished with a number of most beautiful engra vings. Its Fashion Plate is inimitable. Arthur, in our estimation, is excelled by none, and equalled only by Godey in the literary world. The work is published in Philadelphia, at S2 per annum for one copy, or 4 copies for §5, and cheap at that, as our friend Beeks says by the butter. Porter’s Spirit of tlie Times. We have received the first number of the above “spirited” newspaper, and are so well pleased with it that we can. without exaggeration or false praise, safely recommend it to our readers as an excellent publication. Gin Manufactory. S. C. Mitchell carries on the above business in the City of Griffin extensively. We had the plea sure a day or two since, of looking through the es tablishment, and found every thing in first rate or der. The machinery is propelled by steam, and the Gins manufactured by Mr. M will compare favor ably with any made at the South. His work has stood the test of many years experiment, and can be vouched for by hundreds in this part of Geor gia- Anothci’ S.otter from Texas. Travis Cos., Texas, August 15. 1854. Messrs. Fleming Bro—Dear Sirs : There were several ca ses of Chills aud Fever in my mother’s family at the time we received the M’Lane’s Liver Pills, ordered in my letter of June 12th, and a few dosca administered in each case, produced the desired effect, tlmsdemonstrating the efficien cy of these celebrated Pills in that disease. Mother has not been troubled with the sick-headache since she lias commenced taking these Pills, and as we have but few of them left, you will please send us another dol lar’s worth. Direct as before, to Austin, Texas. Respectfully yours, MEREDITH W HENRY. t®_Persons will be careful to ask for DR. McLANE’S CELEBRATED VERMlFUGE,manufactured by FLEMING BRO., of Pittsburg, Pa All other Vermifuges in copipari son, are worthless. Dr. McLane’s genuine Vermifuge, also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores, None genuine without the Signature of FLEMING BROS. A Great Cure for Female Complaints will be found iu Holloway’s Ointment and Pills. The wonderful cures effected by these medicines in complaints incidental to females, would appear incredible to the citizens of the Union, ifthc facts were not daily confirmed. #s”Sold at the manufactories,No 80, Maiden Lane, New York, and No 244, Strand, London ) and by all Druggists at 25 cts., 62£ cts., and $1 per box. Otoituary Died in the City of Griffin Ga.,on the 20th inst, of infla mationoftlie brain, Mas Ann E A Daniel, consortof L R Daniel, Esq, and niece of Mrs Sarah and Judge J B Reid, in the 21st year of herage. In offering this tribute to the memory of this estimable Lady, the writer feels a degree of diffidence in portraying a character in which were so many amiable traits of Christian excellences. But few I have ever known of her age, if any, who have afforded a better specimen of Christian gentle ness and modesty,and who labored more devoutly in an unobtrusive way, to cultivate those graces which adorn the Christian cliarcter, than she did. Raised and taught by pious parents, the great doctrines of the Holy Scriptures, she exemplified them in after years. At the age of fifteen she embraced religion and joined the M E Church, and from that day to the time of her death it seemed to be her great concern to walk w orthy of the high vocation where with she was called. She was naturally gentle, modest, amiable, and retiring in her disposition, and it was only to know her to love her, and those who knew he best loved her most. For several months before her death she was observed to become more interested to cultivate the piety of her heart, as if she felt impressed that her time on earth was short. She seemed to have entered into the anti-cham ber of heaven to put on the beautiful robe of righteousness, that she might be a welcome guest at the heavenly feast.— Iu the death of this Christian lady, a vacuum has been made in the hearts of a wide circle of relatives and friends which will not be soon filled. A husband has been deeply stricken, and sisters mourn the loss of one dear indeed to them ; the Church is deprived of a bright Christian example ; but their loss is her eternal gain, and they mourn not as those who have no hope. She has gone to join her sainted pa rents in the general assembly and Church of the first bom, and we will not deplore thee, for “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord ; yea saith the spirit, for they rest from their labors.” PASTOR. Griffin, Sep. 22, 185 G. Tribute of Respect. Pickling Lodge, No 129,) Sep. 12. 1850. f The committee to whom was entrusted the drafting of resolutions expressive of our sorrow for the loss of our Ju nior warden, brother W. IV. Wiggins, submit the following: Death has again invaded our ranks. The Providence of God has removed from our midst our worthy brother, W. W. Wiggins. Ilis moral worth and public service, togetb. er with his official relation to this Lodge, demand a public manifestation of our sympathy and respect. Therefore be it Resolved, That while we bow with humble submission to the will of Him who does all things well, we can but mourn the fall of our brother in the prime of life, and in the midst of his usefulness. 2. That in the death of brother Wiggins, the county has lost an efficient officer, the community a good citizen, and our beloved Institution a worthy member and excellent Ju nior Warden. 3. That we tender to the friends and relatives of the de ceased, and more especially to liis bereaved parents, our deep and sincere sympathy for the ca amity which has so unexpectedly befallen them. 4. That in respect to the memory of our deceased brother, the jewels of the Lodge be clad, and the members wear the usual badge of mourning 30 days. 5. That the foregoing preamble and resolutions bespread upon the minutes of this Lodge, and that a copy of the same be sent to the parents of the deceased, and also that copies be sent to the Columbus Enquirer and Empire State for publication.

IN mercy to the afflicted, and the gratitude and high opin ion I entertain of DR.

In the first part of this year, my wife had several small lumps make tlieir appearance iu her breast; they continued to increase in size, untiltlie whole breast became a diseased mass, and very painful. 1 procured tlie best medical aid m 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 tlie case up as incurable, and advised amputation. I was advised by many of my friends, to visit Dr. Moseley, of Griffin, Ga., which I did, and, astonishing as it may seem, he had her entirely cured within one month, and she is now in goal health! I would advise all who are afflicted with Sclrrhus, aud Cancerous affections to visit the Doctor with out delay, as 1 am satisfied by experience and observation, that lie is the most skillful physician in the Southern States, in the treatment of that horrible disease—cancer.

Griffin, April 9, 1856 49 ly Professor O. J. Wood’s Hair Restorative, for producing hair on Bald Heads, and restoring Gray Hair to its Natural color. THIS astonishing and unequalled preparation has never failed to produce a growth on Bald Heads, when used according to the directions, and turn hair back to its orig. inal color, after having become grey, and reinstate it in all its original health, lustre, softness, and beauty. Removes at once all scurf, and unpleasant itching, scrofula, erup tions aud feverish heat from the scalp. It also prevents the hair from becoming unhealthy and falling off, and hence acts as a perfect Hair invigorator and Tonic. A L'autlciuan ot 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 for 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 I bad used all of the second bottle, (which was eight weeks,) my hair was entirely changed to its original color, (light brown) and is now free from dandruff, and quite moist. 1 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 1, 1855. Yonrs&c. Gardinkr, 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 has 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. Louis, March 7 1854. Prof. Wood: My hair commenced falling off some three or four years since, and continued to do so, untill 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, and 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, I was quite gray, ,\nd 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 Prot. Wood’s 1 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, appearently more beautiful than everit was before. Ido therefore, cheerfully recom mend it to all those ladies who value a beautiful head of hair I will also state that I uso it now, occasionally, for it, healthy and beantiiying ***- gARAH j BROWN , Chi ago, May 1,1854. I have used Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative to decided advantage. It prevents the hair from coming out, gives it a gloss and softness ve y desirable. The Lew gray hairs I had, have entirely disappeared. Others of my family have used it, aud concur with me in pronouncing it all it profess es to be. HENRY A. CLARK, Michigan Avenue. St. Loris, 5ept.50,1853, Dr. O. J. Wood—Sir; I have used nearly three bottles of your Hair Restorative, and have found its effects very satis factory.

March 5. 1856 44... .ts IBCO'TOT'iEr®* COTTON HARVESTER, FOR TICKING 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 tlie work of from three to five 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 ivork, will enable the Planter to prepare his 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 Si strap over the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank turned by the hand or fingers, The simplicity of this ma chine is its leading feature—it is fiot liable to get out of of der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent to use it. One harvester, with proper care, will last a series of years. We 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.
