A Glorious Ambition -By A Master-Mind’
Said the Scythian ambassadors to Alexander, “If
your person were as vast as your ambition the world
would not contain you.” We have now in our midst
a conqueror whose ambition is a 1 boundless as Alex',
an den* The old world was too narrow a sphere for
its exercise, and he has sought the new. We refer
to Professor Holloway, whose desire is to benefit
mankind; unstated by the countless cures his medi
cines have accomplished, he is now actively engaged
in revolutionizing the treatment of disease in this
country. Conquest and subjugation are his objects
—the conquest aud subjugation of the various mala
dies that afflict the human race. The trophies of his
skill are to bo found in every region of the earth, I
fur his remedies are omnipotent, and whenever they |
have penetrated, disease hag given way to their hy- j
geninn influence. Probably there arc not half a |
dozen newspapers in existence that have not borne!
voluntary testimony to the wonder-vrorking efficacy j
of Holloway’s Pills and Ointment. It has heretofore ;
been the universal complaint Against enven the most
popular medicines, that they were mere paUiutives,
relieving pain temporarily, perhaps, but never reach
ing the “■■utQt'srU.*. rnor(‘\’ or element of disease in
the blood. Holloway’s Pills, on the contrary, act
specifically upon the primary cause of the malady in
the fluids of the body, and from which they spring,
disease the Ointment is used as an aux
iliary to the Pills, and its snnitivc efforts ft re scarce
ly less wonderful.
Wc make the*? assertion*- -bold ns they may seem
—on solid grounds. We have warrant for thorn in
the admissions of the (acuity—-in the statements of
standard medical periodicals on both sides of the At
lantic —in the published acknowledgments of thous
ands of grateful convalescents—aud last, but not
least, so far as our private convictions are concerned,
in our own personal experience and observations.
* To the man whoso profound research end practi
cal skill in medical science have resulted in the pro
duction of such unequaled curatives, ami whose busi
ness energy and enterprise have diffused them through
every inhabited region between the Equator and the
Poles, the homage of the world is due. He has re
ceived it. Wherever he has traveled luh journey
have resembled a triumphal progress, and the most
ybnughty of Europe’s aristocracy have been proud to
assist at his levees. Ho is now a resident —and we
hope he will become a citizen of a land where the
only titles iccognixed are the titles to respect and
earned by public benefactors. Among
that class he has long stood pre-eminent, and it is
perhaps not too much to say that his European and
American central manufactories, 211 Strand, Lon
don, and 80 Maiden Lane, New York, are doing more
practical good than all the medical colieges of Eu-
America combined.—•JV r . Y. Daily Nem.

as follows:
That Books of Subscription to the capital stock of

when the Secretary is notified that the required
amount has been subscribed. The official proceed
ings will be furnished to our readers under a Reso

leading measures are given above.— Sou. Recorder.
Companies for Kansas.
Tilt: Atlanta Intelligencer of the 2t>th ult., says:
“Judging from the number of companies passing
almost daily through our city, on their way to Kan
sas, we doubt not there will be a ‘.smart sprinkling’ of
Southerners in this interesting region before many
weeks. On Wednesday night a company of eigh
teen or twenty passed through Atlanta, and on
Thursday we noticed another company of forty one,
all armed and equipped, going on their way rejoic
ing. They were from Charleston and other parts of
South Carolina. A company organized in this place,
is expected to leave in a few days for the same
destination.”
The Earthquake in Japan.
H. Ls. Doty, of California, who was at Sirnoda
when the news of tho great earthquake at Jcddo
was officially proclaimed, gives the following account
of the calamity :
“On the 11th November, at 9 hours 45 minutes,
P. M., h shock was experienced, which aroused the
inhabitants, who rushed into the streets. About
throe minutes subsequently another shock occurred,
which oscilliateu the earth northeast and southwest;
the crash ol falling buildings was heard throughout
the city; tires broke out in thirty different places,
covering an extent of fourteen miles square. Anoth
er shock, which threw everybody off their feet, suc
ceeded. when the earth opened in the northeast part
of the city, and closed over many thousand houses
and inhabitants.
The exact number of inhabitants, temples and
dwellings had not been ascertained by the govern
ment, but there had already been shown by tike dis
trict records of the city that 30,800 people, five hun
dred Budhist and Sintoo temples, one hundred and
one thousand dwellings and stores were destroyed,
and.it was thought when all the districts made their
returns those numbers would be greatly increas
ed.”
lie also states that at Siiuoda, which is 60 miles
from Jeddo, buildings were slightly damaged, and
the people could not keep on their feet.
Harry, the Negro Murderer Caught.
The Montgomery Journal, of the 2d inst., learns
that tho negro man Harry, who murdered Mr. Thom
as J. Capehart, near Mount Meigs, on Saturday last,
W9b taken on Monday evening on the railroad, by a
small boy, and decoyed into Auburn. The boy sus
pected that he was a runaway, and induced him to
enter the town on the plea of partaking of some re
freshments, and in the public room where they en
tered there was a bill describing Harry, and offer
ing a rows id of S2OO for his apprehension. lie was
recognizednd arrested, ironed securely, and placed

An Item About Coffee.
It may not generally be known that the tirade in
j Java coffee is a monopoly held by tho Netherlands
Trading Society. All of the’ coffee produced on tho
Island of Java, therefore passes through tho hands
of that Company, and the value t of this exclusive
trade may 7 be estimated by the fact that there is to
be sold at auction, in the Company's name, on the
31st inst., at Amsterdam, 225,694 bags of coffee, and
on the *d of April, at Rotterdam, 167,302 bags,
making 893,056 bags, to be sold almost simultaneous
ly 7 . This, by the way, is the Netherlands Trading
Society 7 which proposes to enter upon the direct cot
ton trade with the South.

26 deg. 30 mini, long. 26 deg. 85 min., a large ship

Hon, Edward Everett.
It is staled that at the earnest solicrtatkn of many
Virginians who have erijoyed the rare pleasure of
hearing Mr. Everett’s lectures, he has consented,

Pauperism iu New York.
In a report of the Secretary of State to the Legis
lature of New York, we have the following statistics
of pauperism in that State:
“County paupers 84,934; town paupers 18,412 ;
total number relieved and supported 204,161; tem
porarily relieved 159,092 ; expenses of county 7 poor
houses $899,694 80 ; expenses of temporary reliei
$480,265 71; total $1379,959 51. The expenses
connected with the county poor houses amounted tc
$899,694; the expenses for temporary relief to indi
gent persons to $480,364. The average cost of each
pauper per annum is $47 37 1-2.
European Blunders.
The Paris correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune,
gives an amusing proof of the fact, that the Europeai
papers do not understand America, a blunder of tht
Emancipation Beige, congratulating the State ofOhic
on having elected a nogro Governor of ihe common

little sense to the political designation and nicknarm

Horrible.
A man, under sentence of death at Charleston, Il
linois, was recently taken from his cell by an infuria
ted drunken mob, and hanged to the liinb of a tree.
The only reason for this terrible affair was, that the
execution was postponed a few day’s by the Governor,
and the crowd that had assembled to witness the
horrible sight, rather than be disappointed, broke
iuito the jail with crow-bars, axes, etc., and hanged
the prisoner at once. Several of the ringleaders have
been arrested.

ggTMany a true heart, that would have come

Punch is hard on the English style ol speaking
French. The wag says that if one of his country men
is asked “Paries vous Francois!” his answer is‘‘Tray

questioned, “Comment vous portezvous?” ho will re
ply “Ung pew.” John Bull is certainly hard on

ducat ion being fairly apportioned, females
are better converscrs than men. They have quicker
perceptions, less egotism, more sensibility, more dis
interestedness, and what gives a charm hyitsspright
liness, they have more imagination; this may not be
under so good control as that of men, but it is always
more chaste. They incline to speak as the heart
prompts. Os course their expressions arc not studi

ture. Men are apt to wait for the slower working of
the understanding; hence they are often deficient in
ease.
8“j^ w The Brooklyn Eagle thinks shawls should be
worn for the following rhyming reasons:
“If you want to be in fashion, wear a shawl; ifto
ladies an attraction, wear a shawl ; if to sheep and
cow's a terror, or like shanhais in full feather, or
even range upon tho heather, wear a shawl; if your
hip • are badly moulded, or your shirt and vest un
folded, or unpleasant to behold, wear a shawl ; if
you’re courting some fine linnet, wear a shawl—you
might wrap your lassie in it—in your shawl. Its
like charity or pins, and hides a multitude of sins—
although it causes grins—does your shawl. If you
wish to be a dandy, wear a shawl—or have a cover
handy, wear a shawl. In a word, it is a most useful
article—as you may wrap your foot, head, body,
knees, make a seat, a blankot, a muff, a pillow, a
wrap-rascal, or a Scotch plaid, of your shawl.”

out their symptoms, and inclose therewith five dol
lars, and send the same to our address, will receive in
return, medicine and directions to suit their case, for
one month. Many persons have been treated and
cured upon this plan, with a great saving to the af
flicted; some of them living from 50 to over 100

VgljL CATHARTIC
Or*: KATE by their powerful influence n the Internal vis
cera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy ac
tion. They remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowe's, fiver,
and other organs of the body, and, by restoring their irregular ac’
lion to health, correct, wherever they exist, such derangements
as are the first causes of diseace. An extosive trial of their vir
tues, by Professors, Physicians, and Patients, has shown cures o
dangerous diseases almost beyond belief, were they not .-.ubstanti
atert by persons of such exalted position and character as to forbid
the suspicion of untruth. Their certificates are published my
American Almanac, which the Agents below ns med are pleased to
furnish free to all inquiring.
Annexed we give Directions for their use in the complaints
which they have been found to cure.
I'oe Costivevess.— Take one or two Pills, or such quantity a- io
gently move the bowels. Costiveness is frequently the aggrava
ting cause of Piles, and the cure of one complaint is the cure of
both. No person can feel well while under a costive habit of body.
Hence it should be, as it can be, promptly relieved.
Per Dyspepsia, which is sometimes the cause of Costiveness, and
always uncomfortable, take mud doses—from one to sou stim
ulate the stomach and liver into healthy action. They will do it
and the heartburn, bodyburn and sovZtmrn of dyspepsia will rap
idly disappear. When it has gone, don’t forget what cured you.
Fora Foil Stomach, or Morbid Inaction of the Bowels, which
yroduces general depression of the spirits and bad health, take
from four to eight Pills at first, and smaller doses afterward.-', un
til aztivity and strength is restored to the system.
For Nervousness, Sick Headache, Nausea, Pain, in the Stom
ach, Book, or Side-, take from four to eight pills on going to bed.
If they do not operate sufficiently, take more the next day until
they do. These complaints will be swept out from the ?y=tera.
Don’t wear these and their kindred disorders because your stom
ach is foul.
For Scrofcla, EarsiPßi-ts, and all disease of ihs Skin, take i
the Pills freely and frequently, to keep the bowel* open. The crop- i
tion:; wil) generally soon begin to diminish and disappear. Many ‘
dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed up by the purging ar.d I
purifying effect of these Pills, and some disgusting diseases which !
seemed to saturate the whole system have completely yielded to j
their influence, leaving the n perfect health. Patients! !
your duty to society forbids that you should parade yourself 1
around the world covered with pimple?, blotches, ulcers, sore?, and j
all or any of the unclean diseases of the skin, because vour eys'.om 1
wants cleansing.
To Purify tuk Blood, they are the best medicine ever discover
: cd. They should be taken treeiy and frequently, and tho impuri
ties which sow the seeds of incurable diseases will be swept out ci
the system like chaff before the wind. By this property thev do as
much good in prexenting sickness as bv the remarkable cures
which they are making every where.
Lsvkr Complaint, Jaundice, and ail Bilious Affection* arir-2
from some derangement—either torpidity, congestion, or obstruct
tioas of the Liver. Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile and
render It unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the health, and
the constitution is frequently undermined by no other cau.se. ’ In
digestion is the symptom. Obstruction of the duct which empties
the bile into the stomach causes the bile to overflow into the blood.
This produces Jliundice, with a long and dangerous train of evils!
Costiveness, or alternately costiveness and diarrhoea, prevails.
Feverish symptens, languor, low spirits, weariness, restlessness,
and melancholy, with soihetimes inability to sle?p, and sometimes
great drowsiness; sometimes there is severe pain in the side; the
skin and the white of the eyes become a greenish yellow; the stom
ach acid; the bowels sore to the touch; the whole system irritable,
with a tendency to fever, which may turn to bilious fever, bilious
colic, bilious diarrhcoa, dysentery, Ac. A medium dose of three or
four Pills taken at night, followed by two or three in the morning,
and repeated a few days, will remove the cause of all these trou
bles. It Is wicked to suffer such pains when you can cure them for
20 cents.
Rheumatism, Goer, dad ail Inflammatory Fevers are rapidly
cured by the .purifying effects of these Pills upon the Wood and tho
stimulus which they afford to the vital prinoiple of Life. For the?e
and all kindred complaints they should be taken !n mi'd dose? to
move the bowels gently, but freely.
Asa Dinner Pill, this is both agreeable and useful. No I*lll caa j
be made more pleasant to take, and certainly none lias been made ‘
more effectual to the purpose for which a dinner pill i= cir.plo’ id I

Beautiful Assortment of Valentines i
;.rrKBRIAHV ,-lth. ISSO.^a
I HAVE just received from New York, Balti
more, and Philadelphia, the most extensive as
sortment of Valentines ever offered in this place, and
every thing connected with them, such as Writers,
Verses, Envelopes, Lace Paper, &c., and am prepar
ed to fill orders, Wholesale or Retail, at prices from
five cents to twenty dollars.
1 have invoked Venus, the goddess of beauty and
love, and her darling Cupid, and they have gracious
ly chosen for their retreats the Madison Book Store,
and have commissioned their friend, Benjamin g!
Liddon, as high priest of love, courtship and roarri
mony.
“Tho world is full of poetry—the air
Is living with its spirit; and the waves
Dance to the music of its melodies
And sparkle in its brightness.”
This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of af
fections, which are borne upon the gilded wings of
Cupid s messenger, in the form of a Valetine, tosome
lair friend breathing the pure sentiments of friend
ship, efiteem, and all tho kindlier regards for those to
whom we donate. It may, perchance, be received
with silent approval, told only by the fair face,
‘•Where eloquent blushes burn and fade,
Rich with the wealth of warm emotion;
Or starry dimples mock the shade,
Liko jewels in a restless ocean.”
Valentines are the ambassadors of thought, where
language fails. They substitute, in glowing eloquence,
the reading of tho heart, by their symbolic meaning.
Faithful to my trust, as a se vant of the public I
am doing all in my power to further the interests of
those youths and maidens who are suffering from an
affection of the heart. To all, of every age, and of
every rank in life, I offer a speciflc that has never
failed. Such is the wonderful power of the Valen
tines sold by me, as a philanthropist and conservator
of the tender passions, that none make love without
sending one as a pioneer. BENJ. G. LIDDON,

A GOOD SPECULATION!
1 OFFER FOR SAFE, th.’ valuable IT.ACT
of LAND, lying on Beaver-dam Creek, in Han
cock county, readily recognized as having recently
belonged to R. Burnley, Esq. It contains 1050 acres,
more or less, about 350 cleared, the rest in the woods,
and I buzzard nothing in saying, that some of this
land is as good as any to be found in the CQun f y. —
There arc about 200 acres oak and hickory land, well
adapted to the growth of corn and cotton.
But to any one wishing to engage in the Lumber
business, this place offers rare inducements. There
is a good SAW MILL, with excellent water privileges
on the premises, and by a smp-11 outlay in fixing up
tho dam, any one of industry may soon realize the
amount paid for the place. There arc also, two sets
of Mill Stones, w hich is an inducement to any one
wishing to erect a Grist Mill. A good framed House
with several Negro Cabins stand near by, for the ac
commodation of a miller and hands.
The market for lumber is good. The mill is two
miles from Powelton, ten from Sparta, aud six from
! Mayfield. Public roads pass by the the mill to each
j of these places, which bring them in direct commu
i ideation. The route surveyed for the Rail Road from
j Warrenton and Milledgeville is but a short distance
from the line of the land, and if it is built, will make
the tract almost invaluable, i wish to sell the whole
in a body, but if desired, will sell in parcels to suit
purchasers. .Several clligible building sites, with
good Springs, make a division quite practicable.
As I am too far removed to make these lands avail
able. my residence being in the Southern portion of
the State, I am determined to sell, and 1 promise any
one in want of such a place, that by applying to me
early, at Perry, Ga., they shall have a bargain, eith
er f>r their own use or for -peculation.
