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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 ?
