Ilowel Cobb in Pennsylvania.
The speeches of Howell Cobb every where
attract great attention, and the Abolitionists
everywhere rally their best speakers to answer
him. I low lie has performed his duty in Ches
ter county, the following letter will show.—
J l e nnsyl ran in -n.
W kst Chester, Pennsylvania, )
. Sept, 20, iSS6. ]
Dear Sir: Ex-Gov. Cobb filled his engage
ment to address here last evening, the Demo
cracy of this District, and I speak the united
voice of all who had the pleasure of hearing
him—friends and foes —in saying that he made
a powerful impression.
The large room of the Horticultural hall was
densely filled with an auditory of voters, and
for two hours the speaker enchained them by
his clear argument, frank statements, and im
pressive eloquence. There is an evident manli
ness, sincerity and integrity of character about
the man which largely contribute to aid the
matter of his speech.
Some gentlemen of the Republican party
present rose during his remarks, and asked
Jeavc to put questions and make objections,
which was granted with the utmost courtesy
.and kindness of manner; and then followed the
response of Mr Cobb, which was most happy
and in one instance overwhelming, from the
burst of eloquence.
At the conclusion of his address, members
of all parties crowded to the stand to be intro
duced and take him by the hand, as a power
ful advocate of the Union and the constitution
or a frank, manly opponent, according to the
position occupied by the individual
It was thought here, before last evening,
that Mr Cobb was au able man, of large pub
lic experience, but no one knew his great and
commanding power as a speaker.
He left this morning for your city, and car
ried with him the kindest regards of this com
munity. Yours B.
From the Chattanooga Advertiser.
Tlie Facts in tlie Case.
The Chronicle <fc Sentinel of the 15th Sep.,
contained an article giving the recent vote of
Congress on the passage of the Army Appro
priation Bill, and stating that Knowlton, of Me.,
.Sherman and Oliver, of New York, Albright,
of Ohio, and Barclay, of Penn., who voted
with the Black Republicans, were “live of Mr.
Buchanan’s Democratic supporters.” A friend
•of ours addressed Judge John IT, Lumpkin, a
member of Congress from Georgia, a note in
terrogating him as to the truth of the state
ment in Chronicle <fc Sentinel. We give the
ludge’s reply :
Crutchfield House,)
Chattanooga, Sep. 17, 1856. f
Dear Sir : Yours of this date is before me,
asking if it is true that Messrs. Knowlton, of
Me., Sherman and Oliver, of N. Y., Albright,
of 0., and Barclay, of Penn., are Democratic
•supporters of Mr. Buchanan ? TV ith regard
to all these gentlemen except Mr. Barclay, the
.'statement is not only untrue, but notoriously
so. Messrs. Knowlton, Sherman and Albright
•were open and avowed Black Republicans.—
Mr. Oliver, of New York, is the Black Repub
lican chairman of the committee on Invalid Pen
sions. Mr. Sherman was the Black Republi
c m chairman of the committee sent to Kansas
to investigate the facts connected with the elec
tion of Gen. Whitfield. Mr. Barclay, of Penn.,
was elected to Congress as a Democrat, but
has manifested during the past session, Black
Republican proclivities ; so much so that the
Democracy of his District have thrown him
overboard, and nominated in his stead, Hon.
J. L. Gillis, a sound national Democrat.
Yours respectfully,
John 11. Lumtkin.

What, or which Is the best, Vermifuge or Worm
Destroyer 1
Is a quesfion daily and hourly asked by parents, anxious
for the health of their children. All who are at all acquaint
ed with tho article, will immediately answer, Dr M'Lane's
Celebrated Vermifuge, prepared by Fleming Bros., Pitts
burgh, Pa. It has never been known to fail, and is one of
the safest remedies that can be used. A friend of burs late,
ly handed ns the following statement in reference to this
Vermifuge :
New York, Sep. 25, 1852.
Gentlemen : A young lady of my acquaintance had been
for a long time very much troubled with worms. I advised
ber to try Dr M’Lane’s Celebrated Vermifuge, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa. She accordingly pur
chased and took one vial, which caused her to discharge an
unusual large quantity of worms, She was immediately
relieved of all the dreadful symptoms accompanying this
• disease, and rapidly recover her usual health. The lady
does not wish her name mentioned, ber residence, howev
er, is 320 Fifth-street, and she refers to Mrs. Hardie, No 3,
Manhattan Place.
ttß-Persons will be careful to ask for DR. McLANE'S
CELEBRATED VERMlFUGE,manufactured by FLEMING
8R0.,0f Pittsburg, Pa. All other Vermifuges in compari
son, are worthless. Dr. McLane’s genuine Vermifuge, also
his celebrated Liver rills, can now be had at all respectable
Drug Stores. None genuine without the Signature of
FLEMING BROS.

Departed this life in the city of Griffin, on Wed
nesday morning the Ist of Oct., Mrs. Nancy T.
Hancock, wife of Col Wm. H. Hancock. She was
naturally retiring and diffident in her disposition;
but frank and amiable in her intercourse with cho
sen friends. No woman was ever more devoted
to her husband and children, and above all, she was
not forgetful of the higher duties she owed to her
God. For years past she has expressed hope in
the mercy of God, through Christ Jesus. She had
felt it her duty to connect herself with the Christian
church, and had only been waiting for friends
whom she hoped would soon be prepared to join
her 4 in this service. Her husband and children have
the sympathies of a wide circle of friends.

South Carolina. In early life he attached himself to the
Presbyterian Church, uud became a Sabbath School teach

duties, and in the observance of all the ordinances of the
Church, until he moved to Georgia, which placed him be
yond the reach of the Church of his choice. But he con
tinued to read his Bible, and was always delighted when
conversing on the subject of religion, and in contributing
to the snppoit of the gospel and religions institutions, and
continued advocating the cause of Sabbath Schools until
his death. His regularity, promptness in attendance, his
pleasantness when in School, won for him the esteem and

Professor O. J. Wood’s
Hair Restorative, for producing hair on Bald Heads, and
restoring Gray Hair to its Natural co/m'.
THIS astonishing aud unequalled preparation lids fieter
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
atonceall scurf, and unpleasant itching, scrofula, erup
tions and 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 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 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 had used all of the second
bottle, (which was eight weeks,) my hair was entirely
changed to its original color, (liglitbrowu) and is now free
from dandruff,and quite moist. J have had my hair cut 5
or 6 times since the change, and have never seen anj’thing
like white hair starting from the roots: and it is now as
thick as it ever was, and does not-come out at alh It has
prevailed in my case all that I could wish to ask.
July 1,1856; Yours&c.
Gardiner, Maine, June 22,1864.
Dear Sir. I have used two bottles of Prof. Wood’s Hair
Restorative, and can truly say, it is the greatest discovery
of the ffgfe, for restoring and changing the hair.—
Before using it, I wasas gray as a rrian 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.
0 N MURPHY.
St. Lons, 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. 1 tried all the popular medicihes of the day,
but Io no effect. At Inst, I was induced to try your celebra
ted Hairßestorative,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 Mira., Aug. 2,1855.
This is to certify, that one year ago, I was quite gray,
and my hair so thinupon the top of my head, that I feared
its eutirc loss. In this condition, 1 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

I have used Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative to decided
advantage. It prevents the hair from coming out, gives it
ji gloss and softness very desirahje. The few gray hairs I
mad, have entirely disappeared. Others of my family have
used it, and concur with me in pronouncing it all it profess

COTTON HARVESTER, FOR TICKING
COTTON IN TitL 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
cotton from the stalk, and is evidently a lalw-suving 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 flic ra
pidity of its work, will enable the Planter to prepare his
crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the
improvement of his land, houses, enclt-surcs and genera!
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 of this ma
chine is its leading feature—it is not liable to get wit of or
der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent to
use it. One harvester, with proper care, will last a serkw
of years.
We are now selling State and Cbnniy Rights for the man
ufacture and use of the above machine. Any infomiltion
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, Ga., or at the!
