IN mercy to the afflicted, and the gratitude andhighopin
ion I entertain of DR. MOSELEY as a Surgeonand Pby
[ sician, I deem it my duty to mention the case of my wife,
i hoping at the same time'that all persons similarly afflicted,
may be benefitted by it. In the first, part of this year, my
wife 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, [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. I
was advised by many of my friends, to visit Dr. Moseley, ol’
Griffin, Ga., which 1 did, and, astonishing as it may seem,
fie had her entirely cured within one month, and she is now
in good health! 1 would advise all who are afflicted with
Scirrbus, and Cancerous affections to visit the Doctor with
out delay, ns 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.

HOWE^Si
COTTON HARVESTER, FOII 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 free from trash, leaves it iu excellent
condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing
the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, aud from the 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, enclosures aud 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 bjr the hand or fingers. The simplicity of this rrla*
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
relativethcrcto.can be obtained by calling on A. Wildbnr,
General agent for Georgia, Florida, North and South Caro
lina, at his. office, 111 Bay Stffect, Satahnah, Gao or at the

How Doestick’s was Ruined.
A Humorous Satire on Political Petting.
I hadn’t any money to bet, bat did have a
new suit of clothes, and I was willing to risk
them, and try to win another suit on the State
elections. Was sure of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana lor the Republicans—so I made
up my mind to bet on the Opposition, and
started out in pursuit of a customer—was wil
ling to bet with any body who had good
clothes, and on any body who I thought would
win Went ihto the “Pewter Mug”—Buch
anan man in his shirt sleeves with ragged
breeches and a battered hat, wanted to bet
SIO,OOO that “Old Buck” would carry his own
State by fifty thousand majority— then when
nt) one took hitii lip; he offered $20,900 agaihst
SIO,OOO, but as there was no SIO,OOO man on
haftd, he npgnanimously came down t 055,000,
but as there didn’t appear to be even that
small amount ready at the instant—he lowered
his terms to SI,OOO, against which he propos
ed to lay $30,000, but Still no one listened—
he went on offering greater and greater odds,
and made bold defiance to all the world to
put up $lO against $60,00t) j and finally of
fered to stake SIOO,OOO agaihst a glass of
whiskey on the Democracy of Pennsylvania—
finding no one to take him up even at that of
fer, he turned away in high disdain, staggered
up to the bar and wanted something out of a
black bottle, but in two minutes the enterpris
ing bar-deeper kicked the SIOO,OOO man in
the street because he couldn’t raise 3 to
pay for his liquor.
The room seemed to be full of millionaires,
who all wanted to bet on Buchanan to any
amount—thought that the possession of a
great deal of money must make a man thirsty,
for I noticed that when any one called the
crowd up to drink, the millionaires always re
sponded to the invitation, and took double
horns—observed, too, that they never asked
any one to drink, and thought it must be be
cause they feared setting a bad example, aud
leading strangers into dissipation. Then a
Fillmore man wanted to take a vote on the
Presidential question ; so he asked all those
in favor of Fillmore to come up and drink,
and the millionaires—all came up—then a
Buchanan man requested all who were going
to vote for Buchanan to come Up ahd take a
horn,and the millionaires tgain came up—then
Fillmore man claimed it, and the other man
claimed it—then they hit —Buchanan man
went down before a rap from a chair, but hot
before he had floored Fillmore man with a de
canter—disinterested millionaire dressed chief
ly iu a black eye and a second hand coat, anx
ious to preserve the peace, took the decanter
from Buchanan man aud drank the contents
before the bar-tender caught him at it—then
the bar-keeper got excited, jumped oter the
bar and pitched into his wealthy customers—
he was perfectly sober, and consequently had
a tremendous advantage over the others-—so
he devoted himself for a few minutes with
great energy and singleness of purpose to an
individual, who, a little while before, had ex
pressed a willingness to stake half a million
on Pennsylvania, but who was now surrepti
tiously filling his pockets with cod-fish and
crackers, and hustled him out —then he took
a $60,000 chap by the naps of the neck and
pitched him into a corner—theh he gave his
attention to a $70,000 fellow, and a poverty
stricken rascal Who hadn't offered to bet more
than $15,000 on Buchanan, which two were
having a quiet fight all alone, and kicked them
into the gutter—then he went promiscuously
and impartially at the rest O’s tnfe cfpwd with
a club, and dealt out two handed hickory ‘jus
tice’till all were subdued and satisfied—he
came at me in like affectionate manner, but I
called for two drinks, and showed him the mo
ney, and he thought better of it Thought
there wasn’t much chance of winning my new
clothes from these gentlemen, so I hurrahed
for Buchanan, threw a quarter to the bar
keeper, and took myself off while he was look
ing for it behind the barrels.
In the course of the day I found Brown,
who was well dressed and willing to take my
bets. So 1 made the following wagers : A
new hat that Pennsylvania would give 20,000
Republican majority, a hew Coat On 15,000
majority, aud a cravat, and a pair of pants,
and half a dozen shirts on 10,00 U— thfen I got
a bet of a pair of pants and an oystet supper
on the general result in ihdiiiha—Went home
and thought I had done a good day’s work,
and made a suit of clothes quicker than I
could iu any other way—went to bed satisfied
with the world, and dreamed about the cut
and quality of my new coat.
Next day the election came off—met Darn
phool—he’d been betting on Pennsylvania too,
that it would go for Fillmore. So had all hi£
namesakes, iu fact he informed me that all the
Damphools had bet on Pennsylvania, and on
Fillmore. Met Brown and told him I’d take
as6 hat, or, if he’d make it a cash bet, and
pay it then, I’d allow him a small discount—
but Brown said “wait.” Told Brown he
might as well go home and put on his old suit, £
and give me the new one, as to wait till mgbt, i
but Brown strangely preferred to wait—told
him to be careful meantime, and not sit down
in any dirty spot with my pantaloons on, then
I followed him slily for two hours, admiring
my new clothes from a distance.
Night came at last, a fid it was titoe for the
returns to come in—went to the newspaper of
fices and beard the results read. Fremont
seemed all right—Wished that 1 had ten hats
bet, and clothes enough to last me ten years
Then the sealfe scefocd to change, and in a lit
tle while I didn’t care for more than half a do
zen hats, and Was glad on the whole, (hat 1
hadn’t got a ten year's stock of clothes at
stake, as they might go ,out of fashion before
1 could wear them out. Then another tele
graph came in, and I thought I could make 3
hats do—then another arrived, and 1 began
to be rather glad that I hadn’t bet my old
clothes as well as my new ones—then the tel
egraph said that Fremont wouldn't have hiore
than 5,000 majority—thought that this report
must be wrong—went to the Times rffice—
same news there ; walked up to the Tribune
shop, ditto ; circulated down to the Htrald
office, same kind of news there, only worse,
and a mighty sight more of it—trembled for
a moment, thens thought of “the mountains”
with glee, and the “back couutics” with a joy
ful hope. News kept coming; same kind—
got a little scared—found the fellows I had
met with, and tried to convitlCo them that I
had meant a suit of summer clothes, a straw
hat, and cowliide bodts. Brdwn pulled dowii
the corner of his dye and Said ‘No you don’t.*
Cruel Brown !
Then another county came in* ahd made the
20,000 majority a Sute failtir'e; ahd so lost my
hat sot file; anu t began to fear that 1 should
have to relapse into my old clothes. Then
another county came in, and took the coat
from my back, then anothor, and stripped me
of my pantaloons ; then another yet, and de
spoiled me of one of my new shirts. Ami the last
dispatch of the night fobbed me of my velvet
vest, and illy only decent cravat.. Went td
bed sorrowful—took a look at my old suit and
mourned at the fractured integrity thereof.
Disconsolate, I wandered down t town the
next morning, and read on the bulletin that
Pennsylvania had gone for Fremont after all
—borrowed a newspaper, it was even so, and
I shouted for joy, for though I had lost my
lmt and coat, I had saved my pantaloons.—
Papers ull said we had got Pennsylvania surd
—met a crazy Buchanan man who wanted td
bfet that thd Key Stone State hud gone for
old Buck—thought Crn2V Buchanan man had
not heard the news, and looked upon him as a
special interposition Os fortune in my behalf
lie wa6 a speculation, ahd he Was to be mado
the most of—l dared nOt trilst him out of my
sight lest some ono else should get hold of hint
and win his money before I got iny share —-
Stuck close to him and coaxed him into the
back room of a lager biet shop, got him td
bet on Pennsylvania ; he had more money
than I had, but he was willing topUt it all up
if I would find means to cover it—agreed td
raise the balance if it took a leg, and deposit
with Jones before 3 o’clock.
Left crazy Buchanah man, and w ent out to
borrow the money-'-tonhd Damppool—Dam :
phool hadn’t got the cash, but, when I show
ed him what a sure thing We had on crazy
Buchanan man, he said hp’d get it, and he
wanted me to let him go halves, but I appeal
ed strongly to his friendship, and he finally
agreed to let me keep all the profits; and lie
would lend me the money out Os pure love. I
waited impatiently for liiin to raise the funds
and tnaSte his appenfapte. bne o’clock came,
and no Dampbool and no money ; began to
be uneasy lest I shouldn’t have the funds td
put into Jones’ hands, and should therefore
loSe tlie chance-“hn!f past one, and no Dam ;
phool \ felt hi licit Cicited and Wished I. was
behind Damplibol With a sharp stibk Two
o’clock, and Damphbol still invisible ; was iii
an agony, and feared that Buehahah inaii
would escape his fate—haifpaSt two, hbDaiiF
phool, felt despairing and deperate, but a Id
minutes to 3, Dampbool made his appearance
on the horizon just as I was meditating a
cheap suicide, for I really had not money
enough to buy a rope, a dose of poison of <t
charge of powder. But Dampbool came at
last ; he had pawned his horses; and agreed
to pay 5 cent, per month, hut life had gbt the
cash,
I hurried to Jones and got it sate’y into his
hands at 2 minutes before 3 ; then I went out
and danced an ecstatic hornpipe on the side-j
walk. After I had effervesced a little, I
stepped around and told my boot man that
I’d have some money “to-morrow” and pay
his little bill—tfiefl t Sfcnt wOrd to Staggs that
I’d pay my note ‘‘to-morrbw,” find he needn’t
sue ; and also to Snufkins that he might stop
his proceedings In cjtfurt, sot I. Should be id
funds “to morrow” —I drbppett in and bullied
my tailor for having dared to diin me for &
bill only 4 months over date—paid it in full
with my note due “one day after date,” aud
told him to send his boy round “t.O-raorrow.”
I left this deluded ihan tiife idea that. I
had just fallen heir to a large fortune.
Night came, and with it the official returns
—to my surprise they didn’t look exactly
right, and against hie—hurried to the tele
graph office, same story therC—thought some
body had lied to the lightning, aiid was going
to whip the operator. Found that the dire
bitelligeucej however, Was too true—crazy
Buchanan man had)\tatd the nfew’S —in fact I
learned that crazy Buchanttn than; and 2 or 3
other Buchanan meti; eqtially Crazy, had in
dented .Republican majorities of the morniug,
hired the telegraph man to 6end them on from!
Philadelphia, and. had theu iriade heavy beta
with the jubilant FremonterS.
Rushed instantly to Jones to draw O'utDara
phool’s,money, but Jones had paid it over to’
crazy Bnchatian tnan W’hb Was just disappear-’
ing in the distance—rushed after him, and got
to the depot just in time to sec him jump ihtd
the lat trait} for BoStOn-aSSumed a classic
position on the platfotm and put his thumb ori
his nose. I had been sold, my friend had lost
his money and must endorse the 5 per cent, ft
month; for 1 can’t help him. Penitently,
