To My Patrom. ■With this number the publication of the Inde pendent Press will be at least temporarily suspend ed. lam induced to this course by several con siderations. The first is the withholding of my dues by those indebted to me. A constant outlay without a corresponding income will soon paralyze any business. And especially is this the case do. ring the present stringency of the money market. But if I were in the daily receipt of thousands, my physical and mental powers are uot adequate to the drafts which have been made upon them for the last twelve months. During that period of time 1 have performed an amount of labor not surpass ed, if equalled, 1 hazard nothing in saying, by that of any other man in Georgia. My abilities phys ical and mental have been overstrained, and I need a short respite from my toil. Should I be able to make an arrangement which would relieve me of a portion of the labors which have fallen upon me, 1 will, at no distant day, resume the publication of this paper, at this, or some more favorable locality, under improved auspices.

Having mentioned a number or two back, upon the authority of the Athens Banner, that the above gentleman bad joined the Mormons, we deem it but common justice to give the following commu nication a place in our paper, and retract any thing we may have said in the premises—although we did not utter a liarsh word but only indulged in a little pleasantry. We regret having been led, upon what we considered good authority, to misrepre sent Mr. Benning, though it was done unintention ally, of course. FOR THE INDEPENDENT PRESS. New York, March 27, 1855. Mr. Editor :—Dear Sir—l received to-day, from the hand of a friend, your paper of the 17 th in stant, in which I find a notice that I had joined the Mormons 1 I had heard before that the same report had appeared in other papers in Georgia, and had been contradicted through two Savannah papers. It is humiliating to think that any South ern man, should be so base as to report such an in famous falsehood! It is, however, upon a par with other reports injurious to my character, which have been circulated in Georgia for the last six or eight years. You are authorized to say that the report is false, and unfounded in every sense 1 I am still a Minister of the Gospel, of good standing in “The Congregational Methodist Church in New York, ’ and rejoice that I am not under a religious des potism. For myself; I care very little about such reports, as they are false, they will soon or later recoil upon the heads of their authors; but my innocent and injured family are the sufferers. I will close this by wishing the slanderer and his pious aids, more honest and honorable employment. Very respectfully, THOS. COBB BENNING, A Methodist Preacher, formerly in Georgia, but now of No. 181, Blast 21st st., New York. “ A Setting on a Rail ” A gentleman by the name of Leech— we do not know whether be was a horse-leech or not—having made very free here the other day in instructing the adored institution in the doctrines of liberty, .equality and fraternity, was taken up by some of -cur citizens and dealt with according to the practi cal teachings of his own doctrine.

May its shadow never grow less. Fine for an Editor- The editor of the Savannah Jmrnal & Courier has a friend in Lowndes “as is a friend,” us the following epistle will show. We dure any of our friends in Lowndos to extend to ns an invitation to go down there to fish aud hunt. The letter is dated March 2t>tli, and runs thus: “ We have had some very cool weather during the past week. The ground has been frozen hard and the corn and many garden vegetables have been killed. The past winter was the coldest over experienced in this part of Georgia, even by the oldest inhabitant, and the cold weather has contin ued unusually late in the Spring. In consequence of this, great numbers of cattle have perished, aud the planters are behind hand with their crops. “Yet in spite of the continued cool weather the woods are teeming with almost every variety of flowers and the air is full of their blended sweot ness. I had no idea that Southern Georgia could deck herself in the Spring in half the charms in which she is already clad. Such beauty, variety aud profusion of wild flowers I never before be hind. Yet each succeeding snn adds anew beauty, an unexpected grace and increasing loveliness. Visit us in April if you wish to soe the most charming country you ever beheld. “ My friend do you take pleasure in the sports once so dear to the heart of good old Isaac Wal ton ? If you ever felt a sympathetic emotion with the long line of anglers who have suffered and bob bed for the credit of the cause and the glory of a nib ble, just throw aside your labor for one week, come to your friends in this part of Georgia and you shall be made gloriously happy for once, in spite of printer’s devil and devilish subscribers. I lay it down as an indisputable proposition that no fisherman ever emigrated from this region or ever will desire so to do, unless it bo to catch golden fish in the silver basins of Paradise. We have the most beautiful streams forangling in Georgia. The Withlacoochee is unsurpassed for trout, pike, brim, eat, mullet, perch, and a variety of others too te dious to mention. But the best sport is to bo had on our beautiful little lakes—the waters of which for the most part are as clear as crystal. In the lower part of Lowndes there arc many of these, situated at convenient distances from each other and abounding in fish of almost every name and description. The largest of these is the *• Ocean Pond.” It is about four miles long by two miles broad, and is surrounded by others of smaller di mensions. In this region the soul of the weary fisherman can be at rest. Hither may come the unlucky spirits of departed anglers from the days of Sir Isaac to the present time, and in their shadowy skiffs skim our glassy waters and ply the angler’s art forever and forever more. “ Now, my friend, if in addition to the sport of the angler we can furnish you with a plenty of game, such as deer, wild hogs, and turkeys in abundance, what further inducement need we of fer ? If you are fond of exciting sport we can give you a chase after a wild cat, and if you are very hard to please, we might satisfy your adven turous soul with a bear or tiger-hunt. This morn ing a gentleman proffered to board me for two months if I would only shoot the wild turkeys out of his field each morning before sun rise, —and last Friday evening a big buck met a lazy* man in the road about one hundred and fifty yards from his (the lazy man’s) house and waited until the lazy man could return to his house, load his gun and go back and shoot him. It seems ihat the buck had found out that the man was too lazy to hunt him so that his only chance to get shot was to go to the lazy man’s dwelling. So he went and it is pre sumed for that purpose. What a country for lazy men 1 Come down and dwell with us, my friend.” * [The writer himself no doubt; who is desirous of the presence of another, equally lazy, to keep him in countenance. Hence his pressing invita tion. We only wish we could accept it!—Ed.] Shakespeare’s Deer Stealing. Malone, it is known, threw three doubts on the fact of Shakespeare’s deer-stcaling in his early days, there by offending the poets’ admirers, inso much as otherwise the bard’s attack upon Lucy of Woodcote seemed unac countable ; and the reason he gave was that the offence could not have been committed, inasmuch as Sir Thomas Lucy, so Malone averred, had no deer walk to be poached upon; but time, the settler of all things, has set the matter, as well as the commentator, right ; for it appears from a record of those wu - sent presents to Chancellor Ellesmere, when he entertained Queen Elizabeth at his seat at Harefield, that among the givers of buck on the occa sion was the aforesaid Sir Thomas.— Tnis corroboration of the poet’s deer stealing is now on veritable record among the papers published by the Camden Society in their last volume, from “ The Edgerton Papers, ” furnish ed by Lord Francis, the owner of these curious, and hitherto unknown, docu ments. A Curious Mission. Mr. Soule, in one of his letters to the State department, makes some singular disclosures. He says that Louis Napoleon, before his celebrated coup d’ete, which placed him at the head of an empire, had concocted with General Narvaez, the Spanish minis ter, the plan of a mission to the Uni ted States, to sound how far this coun try was vulnerable in a military point of view. A secret agent was to be sent with instructions prepared by the Department of Foreign Affairs. These instructions, duly signed, were present ed to Napoleon Bonaparte, the son of Jerome, with a tender of what amount of money he might require to carry them out. The latter refused, telling Louis Napoleon that he was not the man for such a work ; that he was a democrat, and would rather be with the United States than with him. The mat ter was dropped, and has not been re sumed since, at least to the knowledge of Mr. Soule’s informant. Mr. Soule himself appears to have full faith in the statement. MONTHS after date application will be . made to the Court of Ordinary of Putnam County, for leave to sell the land belonging to Leonard Little, lying in aaid county. WM. LITTLE, Guardian.

M. IN presenting this work to the public, the publish ers believe that they arc supplving a desidera tum, the want of which has long'been long felt by the reading community, aud especially by the peo ple at large. No other work, much less any other single volume, contains the complete and extended view of entire American History which is here pre sented. The plan and execution of the book are entirely new; the arrangement of the various Eu ropean provinces under their respective national heads, and the subdivision of these into separate Colonies nnd States—due chronological order being preserved —will, it is thought, make it of peculiar value ns a book of reference, and greatly facilitate a clear and accurate knowledge of general history. [ln two volumes bound in one,] ™ By Henry Howard Brownell, A. M., Comprising an account of the foundation, progress and decline of the most celebrated Empires, States and Nations, from the earliest period to the present t.nie —of their wars, conquests and revolutions—of religious dissensions and persecutions—of the grad ual extension of freedom and civilization —and the final settlement of political relations on their pres ent basis. These books comprise a complete history of the World, in four volumes bound in two. The character of the illustrations in these "vol umes are of a higher aud more magnificent stand ard than has ever been attempted here'ofore, being from designs by Darley, Billings, Wallin and Doep ler, unci elegantly colored (except the portraits,) with from five to nine different tints, true to nature, so as to impart a close resemblance to well-finish ed paintings. These works are printed on new and handsome type, also on paper of extra quality us regards tex ture and permanency, and comprise over 2500 peges royal octavo, with numerous and diversified colored engravings, bound in embossed black mo rocco leather binding with tipped corners. To men of energy nnd business tact, this offers an unparalled chance to do a good business by en gaging in an agency for those important works, which are sold only by sub cription. vr For particulars address the publishers, DAYTON & WENTWORTH, Now York.

VERY woman should know that if, she is in poor, sickly, debilitated condition of health, muking existence a burden to herself and a source of painful anxiety to ) er relatives and friends, and perhaps, (horrible reflection !) entailing and inflic ting her own maladies and Bufferings upon her children, that it is tier duty to understand why dnd tVom what cause her sufferings arise, that remedy and relief may, while yet there is time, be availed of, the causes be avoided in future, and her health restored, that she may be 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 and depressed spirits, the shattered nerves, the prostrate and help loss condition of many a wife, mother, daughter, or sister, if not herself included, within her own cir cle, whose days arc days 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 and beueflt tiiig by them. These are pointed out in THE MARRIED WOMAN’S PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION, BY DR. A. M. MAURIC EAU, PROFESSOR OF DISEASES OF WOMEN. One hundredth Edition (500,000.) 18 mo., pp. 250. [on kink PArr.it, extjsa binding, $1 00.] Every complaint to which a woman is subject, from girlhood to womanhood, as also as wife aud 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 ciusos of her complaint; and be spared much anxiety and suffering. The wife, about becoming a mother has often need of instruction and advice of the Utmost importance to her fut ure health, in respect to which her sensi tiveness forbids consulting a medical gentleman, will tind such instruction and advice, and also ex plain many symptoms wkich otherwise would occa sion anxiety or alarm. How many are suffering from obstructions or ir- ' regularities peculiar to the female system, which undermine the health, the effects of which they are ignorant, and for which their delicacy forbids seeking medical advice? How many may suffer from prohipuss uteri (falling of the womb.) or from flour alb us (weakness, debility, &c?) 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 arc hazarded during such time, will each find in its pages the means of prevention, amelioration and relief. .How many bitter moments, how much anguish, might have been spared to the sufferer, to her hus band, to her relatives, by the timely possession of this little volume. It is impracticable to convey fully tlie various subjects treated of, as they are 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, by the knowledge of which their own health and happiness, as also the future well-being of their children, are secured. “ THE MARRIED WOMAN'S PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION ” is a standard work of established reputation, found classed in the cata logues of the great trade sales in New York, Phil adelphia, and other cities, and sold by all the prin pal booksellers in the Unit'd States. It was first published in 1847, since which time Five Hundred Thousand Copies have been sold, of which there were upwards of One Hundred Thousand Sent by Mail, attesting the high estimation in which it is held as a reliable popular Medical BOOK FOR EVERY FEMALE; the author having devoted his exclusive attention to the treatment of complaints peculiar to females, in respect to which he is yearly consulted by thous ands. In consequence of the universal popularity of the work, as evidenced by its extraordinary sale, va rious impositions have been attempted by imitations of title-page, spurious editions, and surreptitious infringements of copy-right, as well upon book sellers as upon the public; it has been found neces sary, therefore, to CAUTION THE PUBLIC to buy no hook unless the words “Dr. A. M. Mau kicf.au, 129 Liberty street, N. Y.,” are on the title page, and the entry in the Clerk’s Office on the hack of the title-page; and buy only of respectable and honorable dealers, or sent by mail, and addressed to Dr. A. M.

The following is an extract in relation to them, taken from the New Haven Palladium: “We have seen and fired a pistol recently in vented and patented, which bids fair to excel eve ry thing in that line that has yet been offered to the public attention. It seems to combine all that could be desired in such a weapon. Colt’s pistol compared with it seems like a distortion, ora clumsy, uncouth, and ridiculous affair for a fire-arm. The volcanic pistol carries a Minie or conical ball, in a rifle barrel, and will put it through a three mch plank 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 fifty sec onds. It is so contrived that it is not liable to ac cidental discharge. There 13 no priming, no caps, and therefore no danger to the eyes from any igni tion near the breach. Neither is there any recoil, so as to jar the arm or disturb a sure aim. The whole construction 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, tho weapon is in all respects one of the most perfect things in the shooting line that we ever took into our hands.” EST* A small lot just received and for sale at the MADISON BOOK STORE.

HITHERTO the grand difficulty in the way of tho successful treatment of diseases or the lungs, has beeu this: • That no medicine taken internally could act di rectly upon then ; they were off the line of com munication as it were, and could not be reached. Syrups, Balsams, Pectorals, Expectorants, with thousands of remedies of a like description have been resorted to, aud though they have given relief and in mild eases ntny have cured by their indirect action, yet it has always beeu felt that something was lacking, and the general result has been so un satisfactory, that it seems now admitted that change of climate i», for the consumptive, the best prescrip tion, the success of which, in many instances, has been so marked us to give form to the idea that whatever can be properly used as a remedy 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 of Havana aud Porto Rico, while others commend the cloudy atmosphere 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 view's for a considerable time, the undersigned has made use of the extended means of observation that a twenty years’ practice in varied and numerous cases of chronic diseases has given him, and ho is fully sat isfied that in combination with other remedies that are calculated to relieve cc ngestion, the great ma jority of luug diseases, such as Consumption, Brou ehontis, Laryngitis, Asthma, Coughs, &c., can now be cured. Hitherto these moans have only been used under personal supervision, but considering that many are unable to take long and expensive Journeys, the fatigue of which might do more harm than change of climate or persoual treatment would be able to counteract, the undersigned has considered it with a view to general adaptability for HOME use, and has now to announce that he is prepared to send by mail to any part of the country such an instru ment as will be easily applicable under almost any circumstances, together with such remedies as will be best adapted to the cure of each particular case. The applicant must give his age, history of the cose, and present condition, in writing, and enclose for the first package and instrument, $lO, and $5 for each subsequent package. In thus introducing this valuable means of enre 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 his method of treating chronic diseases,- in any part of the country by mail, which has been so sucV cessfully pursued for the last twenty years. This method he still continues, and cures Palsy, Fi s, Dropsy, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Stricture, Syphillis, Renal and Uter ine diseases, &c., without seeing the patient. 13?” The rollowiug letter is given as one of manv, and will speak for itself: Twiggs Cos., Ga., Feb. 17,1855. Dm M. S. THOMSON, Dear Sir.-—ls you recollect, about 6even months ago, I applied to you for medicines to cure my Cough, which had troubled me very much for over three years ; so bad at times that I have often sat up half the night, coughing and catching for breath. In fact there seemed to be no doubt that 1 was des tined to be added to be added to the long list of victims of Consumption. I had applied to several physicians, some of them the most eminent in Twiggs county, but all to no purpose ; for I continued to get so much worse that 1 despaiied of relief, until one of vour papers fell into my hands, when 1 immediately concluded to try you, and 1 am happy and proud to say that your first and only prescription has entirely cured me, for I have had no symptoms of my old complaint since six weeks after I commenced vour treatment. 1 now consider myself' entirely weil, and as nrool' of it can run a race with almost any one.

Advantages of the Institution. In regard to the Board of Instructors, the Trus tees deem it unnecessary to say anything of the Principal, whose abilities and success as a teacher, during a period of twelve years in Georgia, are well known. Mr. DeLnnnoy has established a fine reputation as an Instructor in French and Drawing at the Cherokee Female Institute under the charge of Mr. Fouche. Mr. Barclay is too well knowp in Georgia and Alabama to need commendation. In relation to Mr. Deby, who has been in this country but a short time, they would state that he is a grad uate of the University of Liege, has traveled over a great part of Europe, in company with Sir Charles Lyclland other distinguished has spent two years in Central Amerieaon a Scientific Mission, has been for three years Professor in the Central College of Arts and Manufactures at Brussels, and has published several Scientific and Agricultural works in Europe. They deem it proper to say this much, as Mr. Deby is comparatively a stranger, and as he will have the care of the Scientific Depart ment of the Institute. They believe that the healthfulness and beauty of the* locality, the comprehensive practical system of instruction, and the efficiency of the teacher*. C resent a combination of advantages unsurpassed y any similar Institution. They invite special at tention to the completeness of the Scientific and Agricultural Department, under the charge of Mr. Deby. EST Board can be had iu good families on reason able terms. J. H.
