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, [procured the best medical aid in the city of Rome,and notwithstanding tlu 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, of Griffin. Ga., which 1 did, and, astonishing as it may seem, he hud her entirely cured within one month, and she is now in good health! I would advise all who are afflicted with ScinTus. 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.

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, arid is evidently a labor-saviDg 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 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 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 of 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.

Thfc Charleston Mcrcmy of Thursday last, publishes these resolutions, and in doing so, pronounces thehi a “clear and coirent H.ate ment of the causes of disunion. b We publish them simply ns ne\Vs for our renders, and as an evidence of what the is in ouf sis t<F State in regard to a continuance of “the Union.” Throughout the South, should these Resolutions be adopted by the Legislature of South Carolina, there will doubtless be found many able and patriotic men, who will advo cate them, and, as in Sonth Carolina, would be willing, as the sth resolve says, to resume * all of the trust powers delegated by the States to the General Government, M without limitation as to time, Without regard to conse quences, or without pausing to see whether, under the administration of Mr. Buchanan, a change for the better may not come over the people of the anti slavery States. But before we proceed farther, we will lay before the rea der the Resolutions referred to : Mr. Middleton's Resolutions. “Whereas, the original States of this Con- federacy did in the year 1787, ordain a frame of Government which it was expected would “establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility provide for the common defense, and promote the general welfare’ ’ of all the parties to the compact. ’ nd whereas, it is manifest, that as regards the Southern section of this Confederacy, none of these objects are promoted, but on the con trary, are all flustrated ; and that whilst the dominant North weakens, insults and impover ishes the >outh, the Constitution of 1787 dis arms us. Be it 1. Resolved, That the slaveholding States cannot, with safety, continue to commit their rights and interests to the control or guidance of those who are hostile to a social and indus trial organization that is vital to the former. 2. That the power of raising and maintain ing Armies and Navies, of declaring war or peace, of regulating commerce and collecting a revenue, cannot, without, great danger, be entrusted to these who commanding a majori ty in the Confederate Government, threaten us with the evils of war. 3. 1 hat it is dishonorable for states calling themselves free, to yield up the most essential attributes of self-government, and permit them to be exercised by those who proclaim their purposes to be the destruction of those States. •4. That the political aspect of the North imports that a contest is imminent, which will demand iu its conduct the inaturest counsels and most earnest efforts of our sister States of the S< uth and will render indispensibe all of their and our resources to secure a hapyy issue from its difficulties. 5. That a resumption of all of the trust pow ers delegated by the States to the General Go vernment, is iudispensible to the tranquility, the prosperity, the security, the very existence of the Southern States, as free political com munities, unless such amendments be made to the Federal Constitution as will serve as bar riers against aggression. 6. That his Excellency, ihc Governor, be requested to transmit the foregoing preamble and resolutions to the Governors of the slave holding States of this Confederacy, with a re quest that they may be communicated to their Legislatures respectively.” Now in connection with the foregoing, if We tuke Gov Adams’ recommendation to the South Carolina Legislature ‘.hat the African slave trade be revived, no man can deny that Beecher and his crew at the North have mat ter enough to keep up just as much excitement ns they wish in the anti slavery States, and that the Democracy there that battled so no bly for Southern Rights, will, in all human probability, be overwhelmed at the elections that w’ill come off from “this time, henceforth, and forever more.” Nay, more than this Mr. Buchanan, for whom South Carolina has just voted, will find himself, instead of receiv ing aid and couutenance from that State, em barrassed in administering the Government, even though he does so in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Constitution. Viewed in this light, we hesitate not to say that the spirit manifested by our South Carolina friends, is a reckless one, and that it will not control one-tenth of the people of the South. What ever we may think of Got. Adams’ views on the revival of the African slave trade, both as it affects the negro race in a moral point of view, or as it regards the production of the two great staples of the South, cotton and rice ; and whatever we may think of Mr. Mid dleton’s resolutions as abstract propositions, we say now, that both, in our humble judg inent, are out of time and place, and will meet with but little countenance at the South. — Outside of South Carolina, we confidently be lieve the people of tfie South, or at least three fourths of them, are content to a! idc the re sults of the acts of the incoming Administra tion, and are determined to throw no impedi ment in the way of Mr. Buchanan. Indeed, wc think that a majority of the people of South Carolina have come to the same determina tion, and nothing would please us so much ns to see both the recommendation of Governor Adams, and the resolutions of Mr. Middleton laid upon the shelf by the Legislature of South Carolina. The progress of both, how ever, before ti at body, we shall watch with great interest, and the result we shall give to our readers. Counter Resolutions. In the Representative Branch of the Legis lature of South t arolitia, on the Ist inst., Mr Thomas Y. Simons, Jr., a member from the Charleston District, introduced the following resolutions, which were referred to the com mittee on Federal Relations, und ordered to be printed : Resolved, That the Constitutional Union of the States of this Confederacy, should be an object of primary importance to every wise and patriotic citizen. Keso ved, That in the election of James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, and of John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, to the Presidency gn4 Yice Presidency of this Confederacy, we recognize a signal rebuke to the enemies of constitutional and a firm guarantee JVri7)s~~ $2,00, Suffice. that the rights of each and cveVv section will be secured and maintained Resolved, That the continual agitation of mere abstract theories, ('whether they assume the shape of the re-opening of the slave trade or any other form,) can give neither repose or security to the institutions of the South, bufc must tend to distract and divide the counsels of our beloVed State, and to alienate from her the support and sympathies of her sister States. Resolved, That the true policy of the zensof this Commonwealth, united as they are on every question of vital principle, is to de vote their etiel’gies to the reform of her internal abuses and the development of her internal re sources. Plan of Operations for the Retnbtfti of the Semiuoles. The following very interesting article we find in the Tampa (Fla.,) Peninsular, of Saturdayj 29th nit. We have little doubt that the plan of operations determined upon by Gen Har ney and the Government, will secure the con summation of the long desired purpose of the removal of the savages from the “Land of Flowers.” “The subject of removing the Indians if! again being agitated, and we revert to it with the pleasing assurance that the much desired consummation will be obtained, as speedily as possible. Gen. Harney is in command of tho troops in Florida, and his well established character as an active and energetic man, and successful Indian fighter, affords us good ground to hope that, under such favorable au spices, our Indian difficulties will soon be set tled —the savages removed or exterminated. Gen. Harney is fresh from the West, whero he has been engaged in subduing a powerful tribe of Indians. He is, we presume, about 56 years of age, but possesses all the energy and vigor of youth, combined with an indom itable energy, which, together with his expedi ence in fighting the Scminoles, in this State, eminently qualify him for the position he now occupies—Commander-in-chief of the troops in Florida. A tripartite treaty between the U. State?*, the Creeks and the Setninoles in the West, (we will probably publish the treuty next week,) which passed the Senate at the last session of Congress, and will, undoubted’y pass the House at an early day at the next sesdon and receive the official sanction of the President, makes liberal prepositions to the Semiuoles in Florida—insuring indemnity for jail sacrifices and expenses incurred in remov ing to the West—an equal footing with their brethren already removed, or, if necessary, it distinct government, together with a liberal bounty, and educational aud other advaqtages of civilized governments —promising protec tion iu their individual and national rights from invasion by other tribes, <fcc. On the faith of this treaty, Gen. Harney will endeavor to have a consultation with the Indians, (to effect which, he has for the prt~ sent, ordered a cessation of hostilities, on thd part of the whites, save in the defensive, and that flags of truce be displayed whenever and wherever Indians may be found,) in which he will present the liberal offers of government; as Well as the folly of longer resisting by force —and, in a word, avail himself of every honest inducement to prevail upon them to remove peaceably • at the same time assuring them in case of their refusal, that he has the au thority and the means of forcing them to terms. The wisdom of this movement will be seen at a glance, when it is borne iu mind that the troops are not now in a position to commence hostilities, and it cannot but especially recom mend itself to every philanthropist, as another opportunity to the Indians—poor ignorant de vils, as they are—to benefit their condition, and prevent annihilation, which will inevitably fol’ow a rejection of these terms. In the meantime, every arrangement will be made to commence offensive operations, ns soon as the futility of the experiment, above mentioned, shall have been demonstrated. Iu that event, we have every reason to hope that the way will be brought ro a successful termi nation in the shortest possible time—by a sim ultaneous action of all the available force, which will amotfnt to about 2500, rank and file. A line of posts for the protection of the frontier, is to be established—commencing at some suitable point on the western coast, and ending at Ft. Capron, on Indian River—gar risoned by about ten Companies, and 3 or 4. Companies will be employed in scouting duty below this line. To use Gen. HarneCs lan guage, “The Indians must be kept below the settlements.” We entertain the hope that should an inter-; view be obtained with the Indians, the liberal offers which will be presented by Gen. Harney —the man above all others of whom the Rem ind es hate a dread—may induce many, and probably all the Indians, to cease their disas trous opposition to the overtures of our go vernment, accept its munificence, and remove peacefully. V?c say we entertain this hope, and we are strengthened in it by the fact that Gen. Harney can give them honest assurances that if they reject those offers, they can hold out but a short time at most, and that they will be visited with wefl merited chastisement for their fool-hardiness.” Fkf.e Jseoroism in Ohio— Rape and Ltnck- INO. —A terrible outrage was committed in Manchester, Ohio, about the 27th ult. A free negro, named Bill, effected an entrance into the house of a Mr. Morris, in his absence, at midnight, and groping his way into the bed room of Mrs. Morris, reached her bedside be fore she awoke. On getting into her bed she started, and asked if it was her husband. The reply of the black hell hound was yes, when she 6creamcd and sprang from the bed. The ne gro clutched her by the throat ami jaw, frac turing the latter, theh choking her effected his infernal purposes. The negro was taken the 6ame night by the crowd who Were drawn by the screams of Mrs. Morris, and was immedi ately hung. The rope broke, and he was then taken to jail ; afterwards the mob took him out again, and amid the curses and oaths and mur dering threats of the fiend, he was effectually put out of existence, by hanging him to a tree twenty-fire feet high.
