WASHINGTON, June 10, l047.
SIR: In conjunction with several other members
Of the Medical profession gave you, some years
since, certificate Of the good quality Of your
Mineral Water With "a commendablc jealousy Of
your own works, lest confidence in their abiding
good reputation should have led to neglect you have
again applied % me for an analysis Of several speci
mans Of Mineral Water, purporting 10 have been
made after different methods or by different persons
the particulars Of which were not furnished the only
distinction apparent being in the color Of the bottles.
I have examined the several specimens submitted,
and find as follows: The water in the tctitc glass
bottles is free from allmPuritss that III the gTee
bottles contains sensible quantity Of sulphurc acid
which is evident to tho smell and TASTE as well as TO
the proper chemical tests. From recent inspec-
ton Of your process was led TO the conviction that
the only impurities which could possibly gain access
to the water were head and sulphuric acid OF lead
6ud no traces whatever ina any Of the bottles; the
amount Of sulphlrc acid present in the green bottles
though small is objectionable, and must be regarded
o. an impuisy as The Mineral Water processes to b
free from all such admixturcs. therefore certify
that the Mineral Water contained in the white bot
ties sent 70 me WINS pure and in my opinion saluta
~, while that in the green bottles was impure and
unfit for 4 common beverage. M s

Sin Upon testing the water left with me by you,
which was in the Same kind Of bottles mentioned by
DR.. Page, have only confirmed the result OF the
analysis made BY that gentleman.
THOMAS p. JONES,

WASHINGTON, June 10, lS47.
This is 10 certify that the water analyzcd by DR..
Page, from the white bottles, was made BY Mr.. Fa-
vier's apparatus, at his establishment, and that in
the green bottles came from another establishment,
where Il was manufactured.

GREENvILLE AND COLUMBIA RAIL Road
We alluded last week to the unfortunate ter
mination of the Convention of the Stockhold
ers of this Rail Road Company, held at New
berry Court House, and expressed the fear that
the project would fall TO the ground. We are
glad to learn from the Columbia Telegraph
that such will not be the case. That paper
says =" 1t must be a source Of sincere pleas
ure to the friends of this public spirited enter
prise, TO learn that most of those differences
which grew out of the decision of the late
Newberry Convention, changing the direction
OF the main trunk of the Road, through Able
Vile and Anderson Districts, and which seem
ed, for time, to threaten the disorganiZation
Of the Company, are now nearly,if not entire
ly, reconciled and that the energetic Presi-
dent, Hon. J. B. O'Neale. has determined to
proceed at once to locate the Road and COM
nience the work. This will at once re-assure
our friends that those who have the manage
ment of this great work do not intend, by any
means, TO give it over, and we now entertain
no doubt whatever of the complete success of
this enterprise

The WitmOt Pr0uiS0.-After four days de-
bate, the Senate OF GeOrgia has unanimously
adopted a series of Resolutions on the subject
of the Wilmot Provso. The following is the
form in which the report of the Committee as
amended, was finally passed -
Slavery and Slave labor is a part and par
eel of Our Governmental system, and made so
by the very ancestry, IN part, OF those who
now are active in its abolition. We do not
regard it respectful to ourselves, or essential
to our right, to enter into discussion with
those who are governed by no principle but
their tanatlClsm. Indeed, the question has
been argued, but fanaticism is deaf 10 argu-
ment-i it will not hear.
The people of Georgia have for series of
years been divided and disturbed by other
questions. so much so, perhaps, as to Induce
the false hope that upon this vital question
there may now prevail discord and dissension
This is not true. Georgia has but one mind
is as one man-all political parties are rea-
dy and willing to plant themselves on the same
platform, and join heart and hand in the as
sertion and maintenance of this, their consti-
tutional, right.
To the end, therefore, that the feelings of
the people upon the subject of the Wilmot
Proviso may be distinctly understood and their
position defined:
1. Be 1t therefore, by the Senate and House
Of Representatives Of the State of Georgia,
Resolved, That the Government of The United
States has no control over the institution of
Slavery, and that in taking, or attempting to
take, any such control, it transcends the limits
of its legitimate functions.
2. Be 1t further Resolved By the authority
aforesaid, That any territory acquired, or to
be acquired, by the arms of the United States,
or by treaty by foreign power, becomes the
common property OF the several States compo-
| sing this confederacy, and whilst it so contn-
ues, 1t is the right of each citizen, of each and
every State, to reside with his property OF ev-
cry description within such territory
3. Resolred further by the authority afore-
said, That it is the duty of every man, in ev-
cry section of this confederacy, if the Union
be dear to him, 10 oppose the passage of any
law or resolution OF Congress, by which terri
tory acquired, or to be acquired, may be sub.
Jected to any restriction against Slavery.
4. Resolved the authority a foresaid, That
in the opinion of this General Assembly, the
people of Georgia at the ensuing presidential
election should not and will not support any
man for the Presidency, or Vice Presidency
who favors the principles of the Wilmot Pro
viso.
5. And be it further ReSolred, That in the
ownership of Slaves we are not only exerc
sing a human, but constitutional and mora
right, and that we allow no power under heav
en- 10 dictate the tenure by which we shall b,
deprived of our property in them.
6. Resolved, That his Excelency, the Gov
ernor of this State, cause copy of the fore
going preamble and resolutions to be forward
ed to each of our Senators and Representative
in Congress; also, to the Governor of eacl
State in the Union.

THE CHARLOTTE RAIL RoAD.-We notice
from the Columbia Telegraph, that the sub
scriptions upon the part of individuals to this
work, have already amounted to upwards Of
nine hundred thousand dollars. This will en-
sure the building of the Road, as its length
(from Charlotte TO Co!umbia) is only about
1O8 miles by survey. Do our citizens know
what the object or effect of this Road will be
upon the State of North Carolina? Few, we
fear, have thought of the matter. Why, this
Road will carry the produce of the richest sec
ton of our State into South Carolina, to en-
rich and build up her cities and towns. Is this
as it should be- Ought not the people of
North Carolina to rouse themselves, and en-
deavor to secure TO their own State some por-
ton of her great resources?

WoRTI READING We copy the following
from the Baltimore Sun, every word of which
we adopt substituting at the same time the
=" Journal" for the g Sun :''-ss Never neglect
to read the advertising department of news
paper, if you would know, what it concerns
every one to know, where TO lay out your
money TO the best advantage. Competition is
at its height, and those who have anything
worth buying, or good bargains to offer, al
ways advertise. They know it is the sure
way to do a brisk business, AMI by selling
quickly they are able to sell cheaply. There
fore, if you would save yourself much trou-
bic, veXation, and loss of time, read the adver-
tisements. Keep the run of them, and yoti
will have no difficulty. The advertising COL
umns of the Journal are weekly repete with
matters of personal and pecuniary interest to
most of its readers, and indeed we regard this
department, with its usual extended variety,
as BY no means The least interesting portion
of the paper''

EVEN N. G. WING DoCToRs WILL DIFFER
The following which we clip from 'ne
Newbernian, will shew the reader that al least
some of the federal presses would nave pre-
ferred that Mr.. Clay had left that no slavery
resolution ont of his series The Newber-
MAN and the Fayetteville Observer take dlffe-
rent views of this matter, although both are
staunch feds:
GIVE could have wished that Mr. Clay had
zone further He is inclined to end the war,
and to give up all territorial indemnity; but
we are not prepared with the lights before US,
to surrender every thing 10 Mexico AS to
her territory, we could wish that the exigen-
cies OF the case had not led our armies to take
possession of any of it. For the most part
we believe it to be worthless, but there are
parts of it which have done Mexico but little
good, but which might be turned to good &C
count BY US. The resolution on the extension
oil slavery, was, in our opinion, unnecessary
The ground taken is a species OF noh-CoHi-
mittalism which we did not look LOT: NO
party we presume in this country would enter
| upon a polcy with the view OF extending the
| institution of slavery. All that the South asks
| *. that the North would let that matter alone.
While we would recommend no measure for
its extension, we at least have right to de-
mand that the people who become citizens of
any part of this Republic, whether already in
| it or hereafter 10 come in, should manage that
matter as they please, And it is with this
view, that many in the South, had rather have
no additional territory annexed, than to be
forced to yield TO any prohibition of slavery
in said territory, by an act of Congress, Es-
timating Mr.. Clay as we do, we are g lad he
has come out at this uncture, but in the abb
sence Of what he has said in his speech on
this subject, we feel bound to express our dis
sent to what seems to be yielding to the
storm raised in the North on this subject, in
the resolutions.

TEMPERANCE SoCIETIEs-There are now,
says the Albany Spectator, more than $780,
600 people in the United States, who abstain
from the use of ardent spirits, and from fur
nishing it to others more than 5000 temper
ance societies, embracing more than 100000
members More than 1000 distilleries have
been stopped; more than 5000 merchants have
ceased from the traffic. 1t is estimated that
10000 persons are now sober, who, had il
not been for the temperance societies, would
have been sots and that at least 10000 fam
lilies are now at ease and comfort, who would
otherwise have been in poverty and disgrace
by drunken inmates.

LEGISLATIVE ECoNoMT.--How frequently
do we see legislative bodies higgIe about ma
king petty appropriations, even for needful
purposes, the while spending double the
amount of the peoples money. We find in
the last Georgia Constitutionalist a most nota-
Bile instance of this A bill was introduced
to appropriate 1900 for reftting the Cover
nors mansion, and the Legislature, thinking
it extravaganza, debated the matter three days,
and then appropriated only 81 500. The beau
ty of the thing is, that the three days the Le-
gislature was engaged in cutting down this
appropriation from four thousand to fifteen
hundred dollars, cost the good people of the
State Just about the amount, $4,000, which
it reduced the appropriation. This is econo-
my with vengeance.
