The high and universal reputation of the Brantdeth ills, renders it unnecessary to com ment largely on their partienlar virtues. As an anti-bilious and purgative medicine, they are unequalled by any. Their purifying effect on the blood is universally allowed-all that have ever used have approved and recommended them. In many cases where the dreadful ravages of ulceration had laid bare ligament aud bone, and where to all appearance, no human means could save life, have patients by the use ofthese Pills, beent restored to good health; the devour aug disease haviug beencompletely eradicated. In consequence of the pleasantnetss of their operation, they are universally used in every section of this wide extended country where they are madeknoWn,and are fast surperseding aye oceri aeureii,oley from thi use since the introduction of that into. the U. States, thus establishing the fact beyond all ddubt, that the Brandreth Pills cure the (appar rently) most opposite diseases, by the one simple act of continually evacuating.the bow els with them, until the disease gives way; therefore, whatever may be said of the THEORY, the UTILITY of the PRACTIcE is now nEYOND all DOUBT. As Brandreth's Pills cure Scurvy, Costive ness, and its consequences, seasfaring men, and all travellers to foreign regions, should not be without, in order to resoit to them on every occasion of illness. No medicine chest is re quired where they are. N. B,-Time or climate affects them not, provided they are kept dry. Southern gentle men will find this medicine one that williusure health to the people on their estates. Be careful and never purchase Pills of a Druggist, PROFESsINo to be Brandreth's Pills. Under so cIRacUxsTANcEs 1s any one of this class made an Agent. My own established Agents have INVARIABLY an ENGRAVED Certiti cate, signed B. Brandreth, M. 1, in my owi hand writing.

"The New Genesee Farmer," has pawed -s through the first year of its publication witn - very flattering succes, notwithstanding the op posing influences which it has had to encoun ter; and while the publishers express their aratitude for the assistance and support they mye thus far received. thev would now with h renewed confidence, appeaf to the friends of , Agriculture for aid in behalf of tihe Second e Volume. The successful re-establishment of t the GENESEE FARMER in its own Natre d Soil, and at its economical price, is a source of. much gratification to the friends of improve ment n Western New York; and the pub. lishers flatter themselves that their efforts are not unappreciated, and will. niot long be unre warded. It is now fairly proved that the ' New Gene see Farmer" can be sustained, at a price which I places it within the reach of all; and the repu. tation which it has already obtained for talent and usefrdness, will not sauffier by a comparison r 'with any paper of the kind in the Union. Every. successive Number that has been issued, has shown an increase of talent and additional cor- ti respondents. Besidas conta'ining the most al useful and spirited articles selectel from other se Agricultural publications, the New Genesee ja Farmer has received during the past year oi ginal contributionsfrom more than SEVENTY d WRITERS; -mit of whom are well known PRACTICAL FARMERS. Thiscorrespon dence will continue to increase, and, with our able editorial assistance, we can confidently -H asure the readers of the paper, that it wll cii tinue to increase in interest and usefulness, in proportion as it becomes better known and T more generally circulated. The proprietors are determined to spare no reasonable pains or expense in making the New Geneses Farmer worthy of a liberal sup. aE port. Several important improvements will de be made in the next Volume; among which thi are the following:-Each number will contain .Ai items of English and other news, particularl ula~ T~tini and with it hatdsoino engraved heading, fo (which is in a state of preparation,) the appear- sa ance of the sheet will be much improved. The th Farmer will be issued regularly on the first of ve each m nth. and mailed with great despatch. to A competent and careful clerk is employed to un enter the names of subscribers, and keep the lei accounts, so that we hope to avoid all inaccu- l racies or cause of complaints. The aim and object of the New Genesee e9 Farmer, is to please and benefit all of its rea- Si ders, and advatnce the interests of Agriculture C1 and Horticulture-the best interests of commu- or nity. Many of its present readers have ex- p pressed the high degree of satisfaction they er have derived from its pges; and we hope all se of them are so well pleased with it that they fe -vill not only renew their own subscriptions promptly, but induce their neighbors to sub- 0 scribe ALSO. There are thousands of farmers se to be found, who have never seen the New ei Genesee Farmer; and if it was shown them, di and its character explained, they would readily y( subscribe. We conceive this to be a DUTY it which the readers of the paper owe to their neighbors, and to their country, as well as to us. Let this duty be done promptly, and otr . means of usefulness will be greatly extended. tt and the salutary influence of the paper will al soon be manifest throughout the Agricultural ib community. J The friends of AgriculNiral Societies should ej especially encourage this paper; for, unless i fitrimers ItEAD on tie subject, and get their minds tI interested in their profession, they wil not act cl efficiently for its advancement. The Societies tI formed last year in Western Nev York, and b their fine exhibitions, have already given a itew impulse to the catbse in this section of country: in and it is confidently expected that much more si will be done the coining seasoni. T It will readily be seen that the paper cat not be sustainied at this low price, withount a ver-iy arge subscri ption list; and as it wvill not atford ithe expense of employing travelling -Agcns, we must rely on the voluntary efforts of the friends of thne cause, to obtain nnbscribers.

Without any authority therefore, and prompted only by such motives, fnow ask you seriously to consider, and with those interested confer upon. arrange and reduce to form, some practicable plan by which all the suits against and for all the parties may be adjusted, all claims upon all sides relin quished-the Bridge Bills all cancelled and destroyed, and this whole warfare ter minated forever. Ifany thing of that sort can be agreed upon among yourself, the Bridge Bill hol dea the McKinnies, Galphin.- Powle's heirs, and every one else who is party to Dr interested in the suits, I will use all my personal influence to obtain the concur rence ofthe Bank. The directors ofcourse, wvill be elated at this last success, and it may be more difficult to obtain full and un imited authority to negotiate a peace; but [ think it will he confided to me, if you all lesire it, and ifit is, I believe, with my inowledge of the facts and my sincere dis >osition to conciliate, as far as my duty vill admit, all interests, a settlement may e effected, unless some of the pe-rsonsiden ified with you, either by feeling or interest, re the greatest blockheads in the world, supposition which courtesy forbids me to ntertain.

You had better, iherefore, rite to the Clork of that Court for a tran ript of his minutes, showing precisely lat was done in the case from the begin - to the end. If as it is stated in Mr. 'ilde's letter, it was dismissed for want jurisdiction, it would seem clear that the le of the Augusta Bridge was thereby illified, as it is a well established princi- E e, that the consent of parties cannot give risdlielion. Neither have I any recolleciion of' hay- to g in May, 1830, signed a rule of consent W the Decree madhe in Savatnnaha tn that W anmh, though it tnay be, that Mr. Wilde B formed me of the cornplromise het ween la r.

It is certain, however, w at I had no authority from your assignees A i the subjcct, nor can I cotmprehend how e court ini Savannah could tmake a De- ms ee, ev'en by consent, after the Supreme h4 urt had disclaimed jurisdiction. I had 10 agency in making tip the Decree or in tI ttling the terms of it, as I had no agency ' making the settlement or compromise, o1 ir any knowledge of its terms, other than vi bant may have beeni communicated to me re ben I signed the rule of consent, if indeed ti ever did sign it, of wvhich I cannot recall fl 'y recollection, and think it probable you It ill find, on consulting the records in Sn nnah, that my name has been signed as tc matter of form by someone else, I being i a Solicitor on record.
