Nelson Tift for Governor.
A F uthem Georgian, a correspondent of the !
Thomas ville Watchman, suggests the name of Col. |
Nelson Till, of Albany, as a suitable candidate for j
Governor, "in the event that our preseut worthy !
incumbent should decline the nomination.” The ’
w riter adds: “ A more worthy man could not be !
selected, or one more intimately connected with ’
the internal improvements of south and south- j
western Georgia. ’’
Yellow Fever.
Y>’e notice in La Cranial, a Spanish journal pub
lished in New York, that Dr. Wm. L. Humboldt
has discovered a means to prevent yellow fever by
inoculation. The Government of Cuba, as La
I 'ror.u a is informed, has directed the inoculation of
the major part—amounting to one thousand—of
the newly arrived troops, which has resulted in
the greatest success, since none have been attack- j
ed by the terrib e disease, which generally deci- i
mates the foreign population shortly after their ar- !
rival. The operation is similar to vaccination, by i
inserting the virus discovered by Dr. Humboldt,
generally in both arms. A few hours after this
trifling operation, the symptoms of a miniature yel
low fever commences, and all the pathological con
sequences follow rapidly and slight.y, rarely ex
ceeding 48 hours in duration, and with nothing
more than a slight feverish action.
Bad Stock.
Know Nothingism is below par in Arkansas
The Legislature of that State had passed resolutions
denouncing the order by 01 to 6. This bears rep
etition.
Worthy of Barnuni.
It is stated in the newspapers that the famous
fossil skeleton of the zeuglodon, found in Alabama
some fourteen years ago by a German named
Koch, exhibited in New York, and afterwards sold
to a Dr. McDowell at St. Louis, was lately taken
for debt, and in process of removal fell to pieces
and many of the bones were broken, when the
wonderful monster ivas found to be of genuine
plaster of Paris formation and of entirely German
origin, being connected with the primeval parts
only by the raw material.
A. Pope.
Pope was very sensitive on the subject of his
personal deformity, and, therefore, objected to sit
for his portrait. Dr. War ton says: The portrait was
drawn without his knowledge, when he was deep
ly engaged in conversation with Mr. Allen, in the
gallery at Prior Park, by Mr. Hoare, who sat at the
other end of the gallery. Pope would never have
forgiven the painter had he known it; he was too
aensible of the deformity of his person to allow the
whole of it to be represented. This drawing is,
therefore, exceedingly valuable.”
Marietta and Atlanta.
The editor of the Cherokee Georgian in reply to
an article in tlio Atlanta Intelligencer, says:
“ Come down again, as soon as convenient, and
we will “trot you round.” We will take you into
thirty-one very respectable stores—nearly as large
and as well filled as most of your Whitehall estab
lishments. If we can get you in their vicinity,
we will show you five churches, largo enough at
least to hold a bell—which most of your Atlanta
houses of worship manage to erect on a frame out
side. We will show you about 100 of the best
looking set of young soldiery in the country, at our
Military Institute. We will show you some ten or
fifteen other scnools—said to be rather scarce in
stitutions with you—besides three very decent ho
tels, aud the wind work of another—the best steam
tannery in the Union—a steam variety works—a
cabinet aud other mechanical workshops, and other
evidences that we deserve at least a place on the
map.
in liquor shops, Jew do., gambling dens, and
purlieus of vice aud crime generally, we have
nothing worth a comparison with your home estab
lishments. Your folks have mountains and oceans
pi these delectable*, as well as of bacon and mo
lasses.”
A Swedenborg Funeral.
Miss Grey, an adopted daughter of Mrs. Anna
Com Ritchie, was buried a few days ago at Rich
mond. Avery large funeral procession moved
from tho Monumental Church. The chief lady
mourner was dressed in white, trimmed with black,
and the chief gentleman mourner was attired with
white Test and gloves. The coffin was covered
with k hite satin, and theheise was festooned with
white and black. The mourners are of the Swe
denborgian persuasion, and the funeral decorations
were «ucb as are used by that sect.

| Death of a Remarkable Fire Dog.
Died, in Charlestown, Mass., recently, “Jack
llapi,” a largo and. valuable dog, belonging to en
gine company No. 2, of that city. The history of
this dog is very interesting, and worthy of note. |
| lie was one of four dogs owned by a gentleman j
I some years since, who was accustomed to harness i
| them to a little wagon, constructed for the pur- ]
| pose, in which they drew him about the country, a j
;la horses. By some means, about four y.ars ago, !
; he was induced to dispose of this dog to Mr. Ham; 1
living near the No. 2 engine house. In the family
of Mr. Ham he made himself useful in a variety of
ways, rooking the cradle, taking the baby out in a
littlo wagon for an airing on pleasant days, Ac.
The firemen of No. 2 became very fond of him,
and won his confidence by feeding him in the 011-
giue house and at their tables, till at length ho
“joined the company." assisting, by his well-known
bark, in spreading the alarm in cases of tire.
The engine house was his home, and ho was al
ways the first to seize the rope and assist in drag
ging the machine to the fire. He attended all the
celebrations of the company, dressed in a uniform
which the company had made-for him, eating crack
ers atid cheese and drinking coffee with as much
apparent relish as the best of'them. At one time
lie was by accident locked up in a building near
the engiue house, and an alarm of lire being given
in the night, Jack sprang through the window,
with his well-know bark, and took his place at the j
ropes with the rest of them.
He was a genera] favorite with the whole negli
borhood, and always recognized his friends in the
street, saluting them with a good-natured bark
aud a wag of the tail. The company have his da
guerreotype, besides having him painted on can
vas, and will have his skin stuffed and placed in
their engine house. His • disease was old age.
though it is not known exactly how old ho was.

PRESENTMENTS.
Putnam Superior Court, I
March Term, 1855. f
r |MIE Grand Jury, selected aud sworn, for the
_L March Term of the Superior Court of Put
nam County for 1855, after mature deliberation,
respectfully submit the following:
From all the information we can gather in re
lation to the public roads of the County, we learn
they are, with a few exceptions, in good traveling
condition. Wc, however, recommend to the re
spective commissioners, as needing repairs, the
road leading from Eatontou, for about four miles,
to Park’s Bridge; also the lull, near Mr. William
Maddox's on the Madison road; also, the road for
a mile or two nearest..Uatohton, leading to Den
nis’s Mill on Indian Creek, and the road from Wlll.
E. Wilson's to the Mill formerly known as Ross's
Mill.
•We learn, the bridgo over Murder Creek at
Forlev’s Mill, needs repairs. We also recommend
the Inferior Court to cooler with the proper author
ities of Greene county, as to the propriety of re
establishing the ferry across the Oconee River, for
merly known as Armor's Ferry.
We are much gratified to announce to our fel
low-citizens that the Inferior Court have purchas
ed a tract of land for the purpose of establishing an
Asylum for the Poor, with a farm attached—which,
we confidently hope and believe, will ensure a bet
ter, and more certain protection and maintenance
of the Poor of our County; but we regret that
circumstances rendered it necessary to postpone
the execution >f the plan until tiie next year. We
would respectfully recommend the Court to em
ploy a competent person, at a fair remuneration, to
erect such 110 ses as may he deemed necessary for
the accommodation of our Poor, as soon as prac
ticable.
We also recommend, they appropriate, from the
funds arising from the sale of the public hands, the
amount necessary to the completion of the establish
ment; and also, to hire for the first year, instead
of buying them, such negroes as may be necessary
to have on the place.
Through the respective committees, we have ex
amined the books of the Clerks of the Superior and
Inferior Courts; and also, of the county Treasurer.
We find them neatly and-correctly kept, reflecting
much credit on the respective officers.
There was in the hands of the Treasurer in Sep
tember last, an unexpended balance of $5Bl 52
Since that time, lie lias received for li
cense to retail spirit ious liquors, 20 00
In money from the Tax Collector, 100 00
And in accounts, against the County,
properly attested—which were paid
by the Tax Collector, - * 1728 23
Making in the aggregate, • - $2420 75
The disbursements have been - - 2056 02
Leaving a balance on hand of $373 73
In this connection we feel it our duty to express
our disapprobation of the liberty taken by our Tax
Collector in paying out monies collected by him,
instead of placing them iu the bands of the Coun
ty Treasurer, the only properly constituted of
ficer for holding and disbursing the public funds.
As regards the public buildings, we report the
windows of the Court House in bad order ; the
fence around the Jail, and the steps, also the
kitchen and smoke house, as needing repairs.
We recommend the Inferior Cou.t of the County,
to assess such a per centum on the State tax, as
will raise SBOO 00 for the purposes of the l’oor
School Fund. This amount, increased hy the Ital
ian, e iu the hands of the County School Commis
sioner, sllß 98, will, we trust, prove of much
good in the education of that class of youth,
which is its beneficiary, and which should lie the
object of especial interest in every enlightened
community.
We are unwilling to close these presentments,
without expressing u liign commendation of his
Honor Judge Hardeman’s strict, courteous, impar
tial, and able administration of Justice.
And to the Solicitor Depend, T. P. Sulfold, we
tender our thanks for his valuable aid, and gentle
manly deportment to our body.
We request that these Presentments be publish
ed in the Independtnt Press.

county, dissent from the foregoing presentments,
so far as relates to the recommendation to the in
ferior Court to appropriate a portion of the fund
arising from the sale of the -public hands, to the
erection of such establishment; for we believe said
fund should be re-invested in public hands, to work
the roads of the county, and that the- amount of
money ordinarily raised for County purposes will

What Every Woman Should Know.
EVERY woman .should know that if she is in
poor, sickly, debilitated condition of health,
making existence a burden to herself mid a source
of painful anxiety to er relatives and friends, and
perhaps, (horrible reflection !) entailing and infiic
ting tier own maladies and sufferings upon iier
children, that it is her duty to understand why and
from what cause her sufferings arise, that, remedy ;
and relief may, while yet there is time, he availed
of, the causes he avoided in future, and her health
restored,-that she may bo fitted for the duties and
capable of the enjoyments of life.
Let every woman look at the emaciated form, the
deathlike complexion, the deep-buried, lustreless
eye, the sunken cheek, the gloomy und depressed
spirits, the shuttered nerves, the prostrate and help
less condition of many a wife, mother, daughter, or
sister, if not herself included, within her own cir
cle, whose days arc ditys of agony, and ask herself,
“Must this continue? Must this be? Is there no
remedy? No relief? No hope?”
The remedy is by knowing the causes and avoid
ing them, and knowing the remedies und beuefit
ting by them.
These are pointed out in
THE MARRIED WOMAN’S
PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION,
BY Dll. A. M. MAURICEAU,
PROFESSOR OF DISEASES OK WOMEN.
One hundredth Edition (500,000.) 18 mo., pp. 250.
[on fine paper, extra binding, §1 00.]
Every complaint to which a woman is subject,
from girlhood to .womanhood, as also as wife and as
mother, are fully described, with the causes, the
symptoms, and also proper modes of treatment, in
a plain, simple, but in the most, chaste language,
easily understood. And thus every woman can
discover, by comparing her own symptoms with
those described, the nature, character, and causes
of lier complaint; and he spared much anxiety
and suffering.
The wife about becoming a mother lias often need
of instruction «nd advice of the utmost importance
to her future health, in respect to which her sensi
tiveness forbids consulting a medical gentleman,
will find such instruction and advice, and also ex
plain many symptoms w-ich otherwise would occa
sion anxiety or affirm.
Ilow mmy are suffering from obstructions or ir
regularities peculiar to the female system, which
midefmftie the health, the effects of which they are
ignorant, and for which their delicacy forbids seeking
medical advice? Ilow many may suiter Xrotnprolapuss
■uten, (tailing of the womb.) or from jtour albas
(weakness, debility, &o ?) How many are in con
stant agony for many months preceding confine
ment? How many have difficult, if not dangerous
deliveries, and slow and uncertain recoveries'?
Some whose lives are hazarded during such, time,
will each find in its pages the means of prevention,
amelioration and relief.
Ilow many bitter moments, bow much anguish,
might have been spared to the sufferer, to tier hus
band, to her relativesj by the timely possession of
this little volume.
It is impracticable to convey fully the various
subjects treated of, as they ate of a nature strictly
intended for the married,'or those contemplating
marriage.
But no husband, wife or mother are excusable if
they still continue in ignorance of those physiolog
ical laws, bv the knowledge of which their own
health and happiness, as also the future well-being
of their children, are secured.

VOLCANIC REPEATING PISTOLS.
' PHIS PISTOL can be discharged with greater
1 rapidity and certainty than any other pistol
now in use. The following is an extract in relation
to them, taken from the New Haven Palladium:
“We have seen and fired a pistol recontly in
vented and patented, which bids fair to excel eve
ry thing in that line that has yet been ottered to
the public attention. It seems to combine all
that could be desired in such a weapon. Colt’s
pistol compared witli it seems like a distortion, ora
Clumsy, uncouth, and ridiculous affair for a life-arm.
The volcanic pistol carries a Minie or conical ball,
in a rifle barrel, and will put it through a three
inch plarik at a distance of ninety rods. The re
ceiving tube will hold ten ball cartridges, which
may be deposited in two seconds of. time. The
pistol may be discharged thirty times in fitly sec
onds. It is so contrived that it is not liable to ac
cidental discharge. There is no priming, no caps,
and therefore no danger to the eyes from any igni
tion near the broach, Neither is there any recoil,
so as to jar the arm or disturb a sure aim. The
vvliole construct ion is so simple as not to get out of
order even from long use. The powder and ball
are enclosed in the same metallic cover, so that a
person could swim a river with one of these in his
belt Without in the slightest degree injuring the
-powder. In short, the weapon is in all respects
one of the most perfect things in the shooting line
that we ever took into bur hands.”

BY INHALATION
IN
BY M. S. THOMSON, M D.
MACON, GA.
HITHERTO the grand difficulty in. the way of
trie successful treatment of diseases of the
lungs, has been this;
That no medicine taken internally could act di
rectly upon tueii ; they were off tne lino of com
munication as it were, and could not be reached.
Syrups, Balsams, Pectorals, Expectorants, .with
thousands ot remedies of u like description have
been resorted to, aud-though they have given relief
an l in mild cases may have cured by their indirect
'action, yet it has ahvaya been felt that something
was lucking, and the general result has been so un
satisfactory, that it seems now admitted that change
of climate is, for the consumptive, the best prescrip
tion, tiie success of which, in many instances, lias
been so marked as to give form to the idea that
whatever can be properly used as a remedv for dis
eased lungs must be breathed. Hence we' find that
many eminent practitioners of the healing art are at
this day giving their researches this direction, with
the view of ascertaining what remedies are best
adapted to accomplish this object.
Some recommend medicated vapor of one sort,
some of another, some prescribe the balmy breezes
ot Havana and Porto Rico, while others commend
the clou cl V,atmosp here of a Louisiana sugar-house,
but however they may differ as to the means, all
are agreed that the only mode of acting directly on,
the lungs must be by inhalation.
Having entertained these or similar views for a
considerable time, the undersigned lias made use of
the extended means of observation that a twenty
years’ practice, in varied aud numerous eases of
etironic diseases lias given him, and lie is fully sat
isfied that in combination with other remedies that
are calculated to relieve congestion, the great ma
jority of lung diseases, such as Consumption, Brou
ch oil tis, Laryngitis, Asthma, Coughs, Ac., can now
bo cured.
Hitherto these means have only been used under
-personal supervision, bur considering that many
are unable to take long ami expensive journeys, the
fatigue of which might, do more harm than change
of cliniiit" or personal treatment would be able to
counteract, the undersigned has considered it with
a view to general adaptability for HOME use, find
has now to announce that lie is prepared to send
by mail to tiny part of the country such an instru
ment us will be easily applicable under almost any
circumstances, together with such remedies as will
be best adapted to the cure of each particular case.
Tlie applicant •must give his age, history of the
case, and present condition, iu writing, and enclose
for.tlie first package and instrument, $lO, and $5
for each subsequent package.
In thus introducing this valuable means of cure
and adapting it to general HOME use, he but car
ries out more fully the principles that he has so long
been endeavoring to establish, and. enables those
that are thus affected to realize the benefits resulting
from ids method of treating chronic diseases, in any
part of the country by mail, which has been so suc
cessfully pursued for the lust twenty years.
This method he still continues, and cures
Palsy, Fi s, Dropsy, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia,
Rheumatism, Stricture, Syphillis, Renal and Uter
ine diseases, Ac., without seeing the patient.

Advantages of the Institution.
In regard to the Board of Instructors, the True
tees deem it unnecessary to say anything of th*
Principal, whose abilities and success as u teacher,
during a period of twelve years in Georgia, are
well known. Mr, DeLannoy has established a flue
reputation as ail Instructor in French and Drawing
at the Cherokee Female Institute under the charge
of Mr. Fouclie. Mr. Barclay is too well known in
Georgia und Alabama to need commendation. In
relation,to Mr, Deby, who lias been in this country
but a shorttime, they would state that he is agrad
uate of the University of Liege, has traveled over
a great part of Europe, in company with Sir Charlee
Lycll and other distinguished Geologists, has spent
two years in Central America on a Scientific Mission,
lias been for three years Professor in the Central
College of Arts and Manufactures at Brussels, aud
has published several Scientific arid Agricultural
works in Europe. They deem it proper to any this
much', us Mr. Debv is comparatively a stranger, and
as he will hare the cave of the Scientific Depart
ment of the Institute.
They believe that the health fulness aud beauty
of the locality, the comprehensive practical system
of instruction, and the efficiency of tho teachers,
present a combination of advantaged unsurpassed
by any similar Institution. They invite special at
tention to the completeness of the Scientific and
Agricultural Department, under the charge of Mr.
