Chemist" the Sun calls him. extracted from the
London Times, and published short time preceding
the fight of the charlataA from that metropolis From
New York he has yet taken his departure. He has
made some money by his charlatanism and tremendous
charges. In consequence thereof the Courier and En-
qurer Sum- and dirty Transcript have leagued together
to puff Chaber and pass of his mpositions skill and
science in the healing art For all medical practition
ers Of good sense, sound knowledge, have great
regard. We care not whether they be regularly in

MORE SrocK OPERATIoSs.-During the last few
days the Courier and Enquirer has out furousy
against the charter and the stock of the Farmers Loan
Company. Several editorial and communicated arti-
Giles have been published in that receptacle of
stock gambling, which indicates most truly that some
affair, a Ia Lynch, is in the wind.
On turning the records Of the Brokers' Board, we
find that about the first week of the present month";
several thousand shares OF this stock sold on time
at lo7 to 1O9 varying from Is 20, 80 days. These
contracts now fall due. The market price Of the Far
merss loan is however, up to l13 Ia 1l6-he differ
ence to the seller being nearly loss Of $4,000 to
$4,000.
Now these facts, ask the editor Of the Courier
and Enquirer fhe the seller and ifhs attacks on the
value Of the stock arise from the fact that he has to
deliver at high prcel If such should be the case,
and he "yea," we would advise him to settle
the affair to-day, at twelve O'clock he did his losses
to Mr. Lynch and swear in his paper tomorrow that he
never @directly indirectly" deals in stocks. The
public will certainly believe him.

Indian War.

By the arrival yesterday Of the schooner
George & Mary, Capt. Wiley, in "a hours
from St. Johns (E. F. We received the
Jackson Courier ofthe 4thinst., from which
we have made copious extracts respecting
the hostile operations of the Indians in that
section Of the country.
Ne have converscd with Capt. Wiley,

the territory has been desolated by the In

part of the territory occupied by theE,, and

of the confusion that existed, but Capt. w.

on the morning Of the 25tb, that Mr.. Wood

Capt. Lancaster, ofthe militia, was seriously
if not MORALLY wounded. The store and

A boat from the George e. Mary, was firee
upon, While on her way down Black Creel

VIC learn that tho Indians had removed
their women and children to aplace ofsafety
and that it had been nscertained that roads
were sometime previously cut in different
directions, to reach the plantations, evidently
for the purpose Of facilitating their purposes
when the scene Of destruction should have
commenced.
The effect Of these disturbances on the
crops will be most disastrous, the planters
having been compelled to abandon then
fields and the mills and buildings necessary
for tho mandatory of Sugars, are mos
probably all destroyed.

Whereas oil sound education should en-
