Ihave so repeatedly reminded my friends and the public, of the necessity of their lend- ing liberal support to the establishment, that were to continue the call-without an a. pobgy, it would seem to carry tone of com plaint with it. This is far from my intention; it would be treating generous and liberal public with great injustice and ingrautude. The support has been beyond my expecta- tiohs but at most it necessarily must be in considerable in town of the age and limited population of Tuscaloosa.
 believe all will admit that Book and Sta tinary establishment is an important acqui- siton to our town, and permanent benefit to the country-and such will permit me again to remark, that it's present success, until our public institutions are further advanced, re- quires all the support that the liberal and well wishing can bestow.

SCIENCE.


 vENHE Jefferson Academy, at Elyton, un- -A der the Superintendance of C. G. Mo PETERSON, A. B. has commenced its second session, with the most flattering prospects. Although in its infancy, such is the confidence the public entertain of the fitness and qualif- cations of the conductors of this institution, that it now numbers between fifty and sixty students, of which about twenty are engaged in the Latin and Greek languages.
 TERMS PER SESSION OF FIVE MONTHS. For spelling, reading and writing. co English Grammar, Geography, Arith- Languages and other higher branches. co Board can be had at respectable houses at from sixto eight dollars per month.
 The Trustees have employed the Rev JOHN WILLIAMS as an assistant teacher, which enables MT McPHERsoN to devote his atten- tion principally to the students engaged in the higher branches. A strict course of moral department is ob- servable in this institution, with strong de- sire to make each student thorough in what he may learn; and from it's healthy situation, the cheapness of board, and it's incipent pros- perity, the trustees feel justified in recom- mending it to the patronage of all persons wishing to educate their children.
 By order of the board.

THONTPSON,S PATENT.

YEVHE PUBLIC are hereby informed that H the General Agency for the disposal of the 7Homhsonian Medicines, and Family Rights, s5c. has been transferred from Horton Howard, to Jarvis Pike, Hiram Platt, Rufus Ferriss and Thomas Johnson, by Dr Samuel Thompson. Therefore, all those who have formerly held agencies under the said Horton Howard, as well as others wishing to become agents, will apply to the undersigned, at Co., lumbus, who will be ready to attend to all calls, and upon sufficient testimonials being produced, will grant new agencies, Sec.
 PIKE, PLATT & Go.
 The public arc also cautioned against pur chasing medicines from those who are not au- Morized Agents, as many are selling articles under the name of Thompson's Medicines, which have nothing but the name to recom- mend them, and many articles sold by them, are even poisonous, and act in direct opposi- ton to the pi inciples of the Thompsonian sys tem.-Therefore, those that wish for genuine medicines, will do well to examine into the authority of those from whom they purchase; as all authorized, will be furnished with d printed article signed either by Samuel Thompson or PIKE, PLATT, & Co.

TRAVELLER'S REST,
 AND SUMMER RETREAT.

AT THE SIGN OF THE RISING SUN, TUSCALOOSA. VKN HE proprietor of the CITY-HOTEL
 H returns his sincere thanks to his former customers, and solicits continuance of their favors; also requests the public, generally, to give his house a trial, and although he may have no spirits for sale, he would not be un- derstood thereby to prohibit those favoring him with their patronage from the use thereof, CT from keeping their rooms supplied with them honest and obliging servants will al ways be at hand to execute any commands which the wants or comfort of guests may re- quire. This establishment and servants be- ing the property of the subscriber, he ex- poets to continue the business permanently, (unless an opportunity to sell should offer), and being pleasantly located in the centre of business, and in it's construction one of the most convenient, its advantages are surpassed by no other house in the city. The rooms are large and well ventilated, which render them very pleasant and healthy in summer, and very convenient at all times. The un- paralleled health of our city and surrounding country, having for years been so good, that we can with great propriety invite persons who wish to find healthful retreat, to spend the summer with us We have a Mineral Spring, two miles from the city, to which ma ny have resorted during the two last summers, who all speak highly of its benefits to their health. To such this house would be plea sant home, as it has suits of apartments in entire private situations for the accommoda tion of families, with private tables to such as prefer them. The proprietor hopes his ex ertion to please will render his house plea sant residence to such as favor him with their patronage.
 To this establishment belongs very exten- sive stables, which will always be stored with the best of provender, and attended by ho- nest, industrious, and skilful ostlers, with convennent iot for droves, &c.
 Notwithstanding my expectation to be per manent i'll the business, owing to the conhne ment, &c., am disposed to sell cut the es- tiblishment, but the business being prt fta ble one, will by no means neglect the vigilant prosecution of 1t, because am offering to sell, but will rather be more attentive than other wise. This establishment affords also one of the best stands for merchandise in the place, and has very fine finished rooms for that hu- siness, attached to which is very fine watre proof cellar
 As do not propose selling for the purpose of raising money particularly, will extend the credit to great length of time-the mo ney being well secured, anu the interest paid annually.
 also, have several tracts of land, and some lots in this place, which would sell on very extensive credits. JOHN MEEK.

FIN commencing the publication of the Sou- N Mern .Hrgu8 the Editors deem it unneces- sary to descant largely on the political course they intend pursuing, or make extraordinary professions of patriotism and devotion to the public interest It may not, however, be inn proper to add-that reposing due confidence in the present Administration of the General Government-and believing that the stability of our Republican Institutions depends much on its continuance for another constitutional term, we shall undeavor, by all laudable means, to promote the reelection ot ANDREW JACKSON to that station he has filled with so much honor to himself and benefit to the na- tion.
 We look to the extinguishment of the Ma tonal Debt, as that favored period when equi- ty suggests the proprety of reduction of our impost duties to level corresponding with the current expenses of Government, and be- licve that all constitutional means should be resorted to, by the friends of equaL rights to ensure this desirable end: yet, while we de- precate the tariff as injurious to the Southern interest, we conceive the doctrine of nullfi cation as hazardous to the existence of the Union, and feel more inclined to endure, while evils are sufferable, than resort to such mea sures for relief, as are at all times dangerous and extremely uncertain.
 We believe it should be the duty of those who profess to be the organs of public senti ment, to cultivate an amicable spirit of Par liamentaiy dsquisition, on such topics as may present themselves to popular discussion. It cannot but be regretted, however, that there are those who make the public good the blow ing-horn of their moral and political creed !; and, under the garb of hretended "INDEpEN- DENcE," assail, in the most wanton and un- provoked manner, such portion of their fell low citizens as are incapable of being driven by rancorous abuse, to an abandonment of their respective positions;-we therefore dis claim all connexion with such self-created ordeaLs Of vitiated taste as neither honorble in their nature, nor justifable in their exer- else.
 TERMS.-The Southern Argus will be printed on fine sheet, equal in size to the largest papers in the State, with new type, and delivered to subscribers at the rate of S4 per annum in advance, or $ at the end of the year.
 Any person procuring SIX subscribers, and becoming responsible for the same, shall have a seventh copy gratis.
