Let the Public Read!
IN mercy to the afflicted, and the gratitude and high opin
ion I entertain of l)It. MOSELEY as a Surgeon and Phy
sician, I deem it my duty 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 part 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 as incurable, and advised amputation. 1
was advised by many of my 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 slit it how
in good health! I would advise all who are afflicted with
Scirrbus, and Cancerous affections to visit the Doctor with
out. delay, as I am satisfied by experience and observation,
that he is the most skillful physician in the Southern States,
in the treatment of that horrible disease—cancer.

DR. W. R. MOSELEY—Dear Sir: Having last year been
treated by you for a Cancer on my face, I feel it a duty
I owe to you, as well as the’ afflicted, to state to the public
generally, that I am entirely cured of that loathsome dis
ease which troubled me so long. The Cancer was on my
face near the left eye, and it has, by the application of your
medicine, been effectually cured without the use of the
knife. lam confident from experience, and from what I
have seen of other cases, that your remedies are the least
painful, and the most effectual in removing Cancer, of any
otherknown in this country. Respectfully yours.

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
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 frefc i'rorii 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 tht; Planter to prepare bis
crop for market at an early day, IfeaViug 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 o( 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.
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,
General agent for Georgia, Florida, North and South Caro
lina, at his office, 111 Buy Street, Savannah, Ga.. or at the

Soiitliterii Convention at Savannab,
Georgia.
To the people of the Slaveholdwg States.
;J , jßiib#‘*Citls&Nß: The Southern Convention
irhlbh was held in February last at llichttidnd,
adjourned over by resolution to meet at Ihe
City of Savannah on the second Monday the
Bth of Defcejnber next. ,
Among the re&olhtions adopted at that Con
vention, Was one nominating a committfeh to
whom was referred all the feSolUtibftS wiiich
had been adopted as the sense of the bbdy,
with instructions to prepare and publish an ad
dress to the people of the Southern States de
veloping and expressing more fully Its views
and inviting a general and larger attendance
of delegates at the adjourned session. The
committee consisted of J D B De Bow, of La.
Tench Tilghman, of Maryland; Kobt. 6uld,
of the District of Colombia; .Tames Lyons, R
K Meade, J R Anderson, Myer Myers, F B
Dean, of Virginia; and J II Gibbon, of North
Carolina.
Nearly a quarter of a century ago it began
first to manifest itself to the Southern States,
that, although they embraced in proportion
to population the wealthiest producing region
in the world, they were contributing directly
or indirectly of its proceeds, to the aggrandize
ment and commercial opulence mainly of other
sections of the Union, notwithstanding every
consideration of propriety and patriotism de
manded that these elements of wealth should
be retained at home. Four fifths of the com
merce of the nation are made up from the pro
ducts of Southern industry. Our commerce
with Great Britain alone constitutes the half
of what has given to her the commercial con
trol of the world, Her great economist, Mc-
CuiioCbj said long ago, ‘the cotton manufacture
fortlis the principle business carried on in this
country, affording an advantageous field for
accumulation and employment of millions and
millions of capital and thousands upon thou
sands of workmen. It gives us strength to
ShStaifi bufdehs that Would hare crushed our
fathers and could not be Supported by any
other people.’
Thfe tohventibus, which were held in Macon
rtnd AugUsta Georgia, at Charleston, South
dardlinif, in 1838-’9, representing several
States, and embracing dmong their numbers
the ablest, most distinguished, And patriotic
of our citizens, constituted the earliest embod
iment of this seiithneht* aftd ihCsfe
lmt6 bbcu succeeded by others 6f equal re
§pe£tafciffty; and even wider infttrentfe adjofiftfi
ing from place to Place a!nd imposed 6? dele
gations from every Statb of the South appoin
ted in primary assemblies, by municipial gov
ernment, or by ex6cfitive authority The re
fcords of these assemblies, at Memphis, in 1845;
Baltimore, 1852 ; New Orleans, 185.t-’54;
Charleston, 1855, and Richmond, 1856; hsyc
long since been given to the public, and 1 &iet
marked by ability and patriotism seldofo ff
eves surpassed til this b'r any other coun
try.
It is impossible to resist the evidence that
these Conventions originating at first in pure
ly ocbhotnical considerations, however, after
wards stimu ! atcd and deriving renewed activi
ty from the insolent and aggressive spirit exhi
bited at times by the free States, sufficient in
other countries to have ted W open hostilities,
and which has threatened, a J iid only been ar
rested upon the threshliold of a disruption of
the Federal Union itself, have contributed
largely to a consolidation of. Southern senti
ment, to a better understanding of onr condi
tion and necessities, and have also been felt in
that gencr;il developement now everywhere
manifesting itself at the South, extending our
railroads, enlarging and diversifying our com
merce and manufactures, and and eveloping otif
agriculture, inviting and concentrating popu
lation and leading to new combinations and to
higher and still higher hopes.
It was declared at Richmond, that the ob
jects of the Convention were *‘to secure to
the Southern States the utmost amount of pros
perity as an integral part of the Federal Un
ion or to enable them to maintain their rights
and institutions in any event” aud that matters
were all germane which related to the devel
opement of the soil, the enlargement, of our in
ternal improvement system, our domestic trade
and difeCt foreign commerce, mines, manufac
tories, and the arts, and social system and in
stitutions of the South, our schools, colleges
and the press. It will properly be the duty
of the committee therefore to make a few brief
fefei&fite to eaili of these heads.
1. Agriculture. — What are the means of
increasing the agricultural wealth of the South
and of bringing home to the farmer and the
pltmtcr, from thoi? fields, the largest results
and the greatest prosperity, and of promoting
the best conditions of their operatives f
2 Internal Improvement. —How shall the
lines of communication among us and between
us be so extended as to admit of the mbst eco
nomical distribution of product from sect ion to
section, with the utmost facility of intercourse
considerations all important in cementing
the bonds of Southern union, and in making us,
as indeed we ought to be, one in interest and
in sentiment ? Thus, and thus only shall
be distributed at home, tlitJSe Considerable
amounts which annually swell the aggregate
of Northern travel —for business or for plea
sure. .
3. Domestic and Foreign Trade.— Shall ,a
portion 6t the ttasdTfs derivable from these be
shared at home, or be left as they how geuei**
ously are —to be enjoyed wholly by others. Is
not the Southern trader entitled to an equal
share in these results, aud other things equal
or uearly so, to a preference over his North
ern competitor ? Is it too late to learn that
commerce is as honorable as agriculture, and
that it is as dishonorable to purchase the
wares and commodities of an abolitionist, know
ing lrirn to be such, as it would be to give aid
aud countenance to the euemy during the pre
stire of actual war f in our intercourse with
the North it at least becomes us so to system
atize our tratic, that it shall be With those on
ly Who are not in open and acknowledged’ hGS
nlitJy to our rights and institutions: Cab tJhei*e
nbt ! be a profitable direct trade deeded! fftta
Southern ports to the continent of Europe,
ahd’ale not the times rife for such a inove
riihnt ? May not the shipping interests of the
South be augmented, and that consummation
be early reached which all of us hate so meh
at heart, and now believe to be practicable—a
line of steamships from onr ports to Europe ?
4. Mines, Manufactories, and th* Artr.--:
The Mineral tesources and. ft*
cilities of the South stand,without a rival. The
manufacturer mußt be in constant communica
tion wjlth the agriculturist, or perish in the
race of coinpetitjpn. , ,Bide, by side they wax
stronger, and mutually add each others de
velopement. In a qaarter of a century has
been seen to grow up the collossal manufactur
ing §yStytu of the It was thought earli
er thanjthid (hat eomrhetbp apd commercial em
pire were alone tjie destiny bf f that flourishit g
section. In another quaver of; a century, if
the South but do her like error shall
be corrected by .her, ;l in a manner no less stri
king and remarkable. ~• v .
V. Sociai. System and Institutions of tb#
South.— ls it our purpose that these shall r&
main intact amid the aisorganizatoins which
threaten othgf spejety ? , This system and these
institutions ever.been ours aud those of
our ancestors, including the very founders of
the Republic. They have given us all of opu
lence that is enjoyed. They have raised us to
ten millions pf, freemen, and enabled ns to
bring tindej* ehffst’an .ipAqences four millions
of happy, well protected and contented labo
rers, descendants of barbarians, thrown upon
our shores by the hands of Providence, making
use as ,instruments of Northern ships and
Northern, cupidity. Have they taken away,
from our capacities as legislators in peace, or
our valor and patriotism in war ? Is the prin
ciple of honor, of integrity, of roaply courage,
the instinct which impels the approval of right,
the resentment of w rong, or the chastisement
of insolence ? Are,the social and domestic
virtues and Christian charities to be found ex
isting here in unhappy contrast with the sys
tem and institutions of those who claim the
privilege of reforming our manners, and of ma
king us altogether as they ore themselves ?—,
Domestic quiet and repose are invited to give
way to agrarianism, socialism, spiritualism, and
all of the other infinitely diversified isms which,
agitate and keep in continued turmoil what ie
called, by an abuse of terms, free society.—
Reforms there may be—improvements ;, time
and experience develope these in the machine
ry of all societies. Should such at any time
be necessary at the South, it is ours and ou’s
only, in assemblies and conventions, to disebss
and pronounce upon them, indignantly repel
ling the impudent interferences of cur neigh
vL Edltatlon.—With institutions of learn
ing like those that have been long established
and ndw flourish in the States of Maryland,
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, and Mississippi, must, the youth of
the South be longer doomed to exile in un
congenial climes,', the most suerpd
ciations of their homes pje denounced as.thos£
pf the, silage fihd the barbarian, the heritage
of guni gnd Crime, and where gravfl i'Ad revet.
MiVq ppojfesSors and clergymen leave the pul
pUt And the .desk to sign and circulate inceu
diary political, addresses, substantiating rifles
for Euclid or the Bible, and fiuding in Kansas
fields more classic and consecrated than were
ever before furnished to them by Attica.oy
Palestine ? Shall not our State Legislatures,’
acting in concert, provide for an increased
number of home institutions, extending at the’
same time the sphere of those already exist
ing ? With a larger proportion of throughly,
edneat ed. men tjian is to be. found beyond our
limits,; ssl we build up and encourage home
literature and foster aud encourage home pub
lication houses ? The time for action is now.
It w,m be at least, to look to our school
books. , Can th’6 making of these be entrusted
so excl'qei'Vely to those who, by instilling anoo
cas'ional heresy, dangerous to our repose,
gine fb'at they serve at the sumc time God and
Mamibob—their consciences and their pock
ets ? The State Legislatures at the South’
alone, are competent to heal this mischief.—
Property will submit to any amount of taxa
tion for such a purpose. A system can aud
ought to be matured at the South by which 1
the most ample encouragement shall beg Wen
to its educational system and to its press.-
Withdraw at once the contributions which are
returned too often to us now in contumely ana
insylt, . . .. .
Fellow-citizens of the South, we may not re
alise at once all of these hopes, but let usfond
ly cherish them, believing them to be attaina
ble at no distant day, if we shall act in con
cert, moving in the same direction,’ under the
dictates of a common interest, necessity ami
patriotism.
We invite a large attendance at the Con'}
vention in Savannah. Let every atia,
town throughout the South respond pypmplfy
to this appeal in the appointment of
instructed iu regard to their wishes and views.
The Executives ofthe several States, and
Mayors ot Cities, Hoards of Trade ana Com
merce, Agricultural Associations, &e., will, it
is believed, appoint, according to custom, del
egations of tried and approved men, who will
certainly attend, or who will, in the event of
a failure, communicate by reports or
full iuformntiyn for the action of the body up
on some or all of the points indicated,.
Can it be necessary to appeal to the press
of the South to open its columns to this sub
ject, and to continue its agitation dt-H the sil
ting of the Convention in December ?
Ihe City of SaVaqH'abj through its Execu
tive Officer, has notified the Committee of its
intention to make every provision torthe pietH,
ing of the Convention, to afford the amplest
facilities for its business, and exteud the utmost
hospitality to its delegates. ,
