Good-Bye. Ftrewell! farewell ! is often heard From the lips of thus** who part; *Tis a whispered tone—tis a whispered word,— But it springs not from the heart. It may serve for the lover’s closing lay, To be sung ’neath a summer’s sky ; But give me the quivering lips that say, The honest words, Good-bye. Adieu ! adieu ! may greet the ear, In the guise of courtly speech ; But when we leave the kind and dear, ’Tis not what the soul would teach. Whene’er we grasp the hands of those We would have forever nigh— The frame of friendship beats and glows In the warm Trunk words Goodbye. The mother sending forth her child To meet with cares and strife, Breathes through her fears, her doubts and fears, For the loved on*’s future life. No cold ft adieu”— no “ farewell” lives Within her closing sigh ; But the deepest sob of of anguish gives_ “ God bless the boy ; Good bye.” Go: watch the pale and dying one, When the glance has lost its beam,— When the brow is cold ns the marble stone, | And the world a^ passing dream ; And the latest pressure of the hand, The look of the closing eye, Yield what the heart must understand, A long -a last Good-bye, DECISIONS OF JUNE TERM, 13-16, SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA.

J. I. Indorsers to a bill of exchange can not enforce contribution against each other, by suing an execution upon a judgment recovered by the holder ol the bill; as a satisfaction of one of the several judgments for the same cause of action, would operate ipso fado to discharge the others, except as to the costs. ^ 2. Indorsers may put their names upon paper for the accommodation of the drawer or acceptor, but they would still be liable as between themselves in the order in which they indorsed ; unless there was some agreement be tween them to be liable otherwise. 3. Plaintiff in a judgment on a bill of exchange assigns his judgment a gainst the acceptor, to A. the payee and first indorser, who caused an execution to be issued on the judg ment against C. the third indorser on which his lands were sold Held, that if C. is liable to contribution, he must be charged in an independent action at the suit of A. the assignee. 4. And the sale of the lands of C. by A. under his execution cannot be le galized because the costs in the judg ment assigned were unpaid. 5. And if C. had sold his lands between the time when the judgment was rendered, and the issuing of the exe cution, he would still be entitled to; the favorable interference of the court, i if he conveyed with a warranty 6. And semble if he conveyed without warranty, it would be allowable for his vendee to move to set aside the sale, and carry on the pioceedings in C’s name instead of his own. 7. C’s discharge as a bankrupt could not be pleaded in bar to a breach of warranty subsequently occurring. 8. And where A. the assignee, bid off the lands of C. for the sum of fifty \ dollars, which he did not pay to the j Sheriff, as he claimed the right to ' whatever might be collected on the execution, an order to refund the I money as a condition precedent to a judgment vacating the sale is unnec- j essary, as there is nothing upon which the order could have opera tea. 9. In a sale of personal properly un der execution as the possession is de livered, an application to set aside the sale must be immediate, or at least as soon as reasonably may be. or the delay must be excused ; but where lands are the subject, as u mere right of action passes to the vendee,the motion may be made at any time befoie the purchaser lakes possession, or recovers it by suit. 10. Whether the purchase by A. and a subsequent conveyance by him, would be considered invalid in an action brought to recover the pos session— Quere ? Affirmed. r** IHcdl<*al College of Georgia.

Mr. Furman has been for six years engaged ir his present employment; and during this time, he has sent a number of students to this institution who, if not always perfectly prepared for admission have, nevertheless, in no case, brought from hirr any tesfmoninls which their attainments would no justify. It is characteristic of him to state, with tin utmost frankness, to nil whom it may concern, wha he believes to be the progress made by the jupili under Ins charge. As an able, honest, and faithful teacher, the Fac ulty of this University, therefore, very willingly say ihat they know no one nioie deserving than Mr Furman, of the confidence of the public.

THIS Institution commenced its second ses sion the second Monday in March, and the operations of the Institulion have been very much embarrassed on account of the absence of the regular agent, and the losses in subscrip tions, &c. It gives us great pleasure to state that the friends of the Institution have not for saken it, but have liberally co-operated with the Principal in liquidating its debt, and making preparatory arrangements to commence the second session. 1 he second session will end the last of July, allowing the pupils to spend August and September at their homes. Ten pupils will be instructed at present, and it is believed the school will gradually increase as it becomes more and more extensively known. As this Institution is intended to embrace all the branches tuught in acndeinieB for seeing persons, the Principal has engaged the ser vices of teachers of experience nnd thoroughly acquainted with all the branches in tins'5In stitution. Mr. T. S. NEWELL, a graduate of the Ohio Institution for the lllind, will act as Pro fessor of Vocal and Ins'rumcntal Music. Mr. II. CHAPIN, as Ptofessor of the Arts and Sciences. Instruction will be given as soon as practi. cable, to a select class by the Principal in Ancient and Modern History, Literature, &c. The Teachers just mentioned, devote their services to the Institulion at a very moderate salary being actuated more by the interest they feel for tin blind, than any pecuniary consid eration. The following course of study and regulations I have been adopted tor the present session : j The Scholars are required to rise at the j ringing of the bell at half past 5 o'clock in the Morning ; from (j to 7, instruction in Vocal : Music; breakfast at 7; prayers immediately aflir breakfast; from that lime till 8, the girls nre engaged in arranging the rooms; fiom : quarlit pust 8 io quarter pust 0, Arithmetic; Irom halt-past. 9 to hull.past 10, English Gram | mar; three quarters past 10 Io three quarters j past 11, reading til ■ raised print ; from 12 to ]. Geography and Writing; dine at 1. In the Afternoon the girls are engaged in learning to make fancy works : instruction on the,Piano, and raised print are attended to till 6 o'clock 1*. M., at which time the pupils lake supper: prayets immediately after supper. Pupils are expected to attend church, and are taken to whatever church they wish to attend in the city. From 2 to 4, on the sabbatii, the pupils will be as sembled to hear reading of sacred history, or a lecture from some interesting passage ot ! scripture, calculated to direct their thoughts to | a perusal of the bible. The Principal would here state that the In stitution is entirely dependent for support on individual contributions; notwithstanding this, if its patronage should be equato that received during the last year, there will be no difficulty in going on ; and as our agent, whose family has been ill, is expected soon, he will be re quested to visit nil the counties in the State, for the purpose of laying the subject before the citizens generally. The cost to thosv who are able to pay w ill be $150 per year; and ns many indigent blind, | will be received and educated as the funds re ! ceivcd will support, we request the editors of ; ilie did.Tent papers who may read this adver j lieene nt. In insert it in their columns. I lie Principal of this Institution would be | obliged to persons paving children or relatives j blind, to write immediately, staling the age, I capacity, circumstances, &c , wising to 7e | ceive a situation.

Bullock’s Progressive powci Press, For Parking and Compressing Colton m the Plantation, ejecting a saving of 1 cents per bale, 'TlIlE attpntion of Planters is invited to tlii A powerful and economical Machine. It qualities having been fuirly and conclusive!; tested in the city of Mobile, and elsewhere, du ; ring the last two years, it is now confident!; | submitted os a lucrative acquisition to ever; Cotton Planter in the country, whatever ma; 1 be the scale of his operations ; and at a pric comparatively trifling to tho purchaser. Be tween its cost and its value, it would be dtflicul I to institute a comparison. In all cases, witliou i a single exception, it has given unbounded sat isfuciion. It not only possesses every functioi heretofore so long sought as necessary to a com plele Cotton Piess for plantations, but other not hitherto conjectured as available. Among its ascertained and unquestionable advantages i may be enumerated the following:— 1st. Its machinery is perfectly simple am substantial; requiring only negroes to attend ti it, and not liable to get out of order. It obvi utes the yearly bill for repairs usually entailei by the screw press, and the Planter has the eat isfuction of knowing that it is always ready fo Use. Its first cost is its only cost. 2d. It occupies a space of but 4 by 10 feet can be put up in one corner, or along side of tin Gin House, and always kept under cover. Re quiring but one burse power, it can be workei by the same power that drives the gin, and, t desirable, at the same time. 3d. It can thus be worked in rainy weather when the hands could not otherwise be employ ed, nor employed in packing without the losi and inconvenience atteudunt. upon the carriage (if the cotton from the Gin House through thi rain and up the ladders to the press, by whicl process much is often trampled into the mud and great labor and loss of tune are incurred. 4th. It enables the same number of hands ordinarily engaged at the screw-press, to di double the amount of work in a given,time, am in a very superior manner, with apparently nt more exertion; from twenty-five to thirty bale* can be packed with this press, in the same time, and with the same manual labor, tlial twelve or fifteen bales can be packed with the screw. jui. Ha superiority in packing1 consists not merely in the neat ami square form which it gives to the hales, but also in lessening the lia bility nt the bagging being torn in handling-;— thus greatly obviating both the ilamage of the cotton from exposure at the landings and place of export, and those heavy “ wantage” bills which are inseporable from the present loose style of pack ng. Bth. It packs and keeps in permanent com pression a bale of'500 lbs. to the density of 20 lbs. to the cubic foot; being the density to which it is brought by the presses at Mobile. 7lh. It thus saves the expense of compression at Mobile, which, though direcily paid by the ship-owners, indirectly comes from the pocket of the Piaiiter, and this, added to the saving of one yard, or half a hreaulh, of bagging, and more than one rope upon each bale. is a sav.rig to the Planter of at least seventy-five cents per baie, independently of the wantage and damage before mentioned. To this may be added a probable saving of one-third upon the storage, "since a bale thus compressed, occupies but two thirds of the room it otherwise requires. Nor is it unreasonable to calculate upon an eventual reduction of freight from the same cause. Bill. The power and other facilities afforded by this press, would enable the Pianter to adopt round iron straps instead of the ropes now used, with demons)ruble advantage in several impor tant particulars. Annealed iron wire of about 3-lGths of an inch in diameter, and of a strength mure than adequate to bear the rough usage to which the bales might be exposed, could be pro cured at four and a half cents per strap, or twenty seven cents per bale, even at the high price of iron, under the present enormous tariff; and it is evident front these facts that neither the weight nor the price of wire of this size, will exceed, in any appreciable amount, that of the rope now ordinarily used, it is confidently believed that cotton secured in this manner, would reach the foreign market in a condition that would readily command fifty cents per bale more than at present, whilst the intermediate saving of wantage, waste, and re-compressing, would be unquestionable. Oth. lint,; paramount to all the advantages ubove enumeiated, is the certainty that the gen eral adoption of the Progressive Power Press on the plantations, would enable the Planter, for a moderate and final expense, to render himself permanently independent of all Cotton I'ress combinations at Mobile, and thus to extoi pate an evil which lias long been deeply felt by tlie whole planting community. To the intelligence and provident discern ment of that community, the proprietor of the patent right submits the Progressive Power Press, not ns a new and uncertain invention, but as a machine already thoroughly established bv the constant use of several years, during which its capacity, durability, and economy, have been severely tried, and cordially acknow ledged. It is only necessary to add, that it has been admired and adopted wherever it lias been seen, and bus more than realized, in every in stance, the highest expectations of the purcha sers. A Press of this description lias been in use at Thompson’s Pickery during the past two years, where it can be seen at any time packing 050 or 700 lbs. into the same space a bale of 500 lbs. would bo if made by a screw. TERMS —For a Press of 4 1-2 foot segment, to pack 300 lbs. $75; for a 5 1-2 foot do., to press 40() lbs., $125 ; for an 8 foot do , to press 500 lbs. $150. GltKiGS, BARNEY & Co., Sole Agents. ly 25.

SPENCER'S Vegetable Tonic sind restorative BITTERS. Health—“ The poor man’s riches — The rich man's bliss ” THE Piopriefor of ti/is Medicine, actuated by a desire 10 benefit bis fellow beings, offers to the Public the result of an extensive practice and a thorough investigation of the laws which govern the human system. He is well aware of the odium which is at tached by Physicians to all remedies, the com position of which they are not acquainted with, yet he is not satisfied to withhold this valuable medicine knowing that it will stand the test of experience, and that those who use it, will not have occasion to complain that it has not bene fited them. He is fully satisfied, that these Bitters requiro only to become known, to be universally appreciated and extensively used. For it cannot be denied by those who have be come acquainted with their singular virtues, that they possess a pre-eminence over all others now in use, for the diseases which they profess to cure. In proof of their extraordinary curative pro. perties, upwards of One Thousand Certif icates, from the most respectable Citizens in different sections ofthc Union, might be appen ded ; but the high reputation which my Vegeta ble Fills, (known as Spencer's Vegetable Pills; hove acquired, is all sufficient to recom mend my Bitters to the special notice of the afflicted. They are ourely Vegetable and may be ta ken with perfect safety by all ages and sexes in youthful, adult and declining life. They Cure Dyspepsia and Liver Com plaints by cleansing the stomach and bowels of every thing injurious to health, regulating the various secretions ; and by their manifest and sensible action upon the chyle, they purify the blood, invigorate the circulaiion, strengthen the digestive organs, and produce a healthy ac tion, throughout the system ;—Loss of Appe tite. Heartburn, Headache, Flatulency, Falpita. tion of the Heart, Restlessness, III Temper, Languor and Melancholy, which are the usual symptoms of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, will all disappear as a natural consequence of They not only Cure Dyspepsia and Liter Complaint, but they have almost a miraculous effect in curing Sick Headache, and all Ner vous Affections. They are peculiarly adapted 10 remove all these complaints, not bv constant ly pltysieing, bnt by strengthen.ng the system. No greater mistake can be made than to sup pose that Dyspepsia, or any other disease ari sing from debility, can be cured by frequent for ced action on the bowels with purgative medi cines, without having a proper tonic to’accom pany them. When these complaints exist, the system is already loo weak, and every additiou al dcse lends to make it more ao. Spencer’s Vegetable Pills possess tonic and restore tive properties independent of their purgative effects, and are believed to be the only purga tive Pill in existence that possess these impor. tant properties. Spencer's Bitters also nc ting as a still more effective tonic and restora tive, strengthen the digestive organs, and as* sist them to perform their functions as nature designed. Hence they are found to be effica cious aUo in those Diseases peculiar to Fe males, which arise more frequently from weak ness than any other cause. The aged and in firm of both sexes, and persons of sedentary habits prone to costiveness, and those who have suffered from loss of appetite, have experienced great benefit from them. In Convalescence from Fevers, and other acute disorders, they restore strength ; and individuals afflicted with Nervous Headache and other derangements of the nervous function have been entirely cured by this medicine In Fever and Ague and Chills and Fever, they surpass every thing known in rooting out the last seeds of tins worst of maladies. The Proprietor has known hundreds of cases, from six to t-velve months standing, who had used almost every thing they could think of, but were cured only for a few days at a time, when the chill would again return, but who have been entirely cured by using this Medicine, end-have declared it to be the most sovereign and last ing remedy they evey heard of. In fact the Proprietor lias never known litem to fail curing the very wotat cases when used according to the directions. . By removing the local inflammation from the muscles and ligaments of the joints, these Pills and Bitters have been known to cure Rheuma tismi, permanently in two weeks. For Worms, they are superior to any of the common vermifuge medicines, as they prevent that cold state of the stomach, and dislodge from the bowels ail the slimy matter to which these creatures adhere. Aiso Asthma, by re lieving the lungs and air vessels from the mucus which even alight colds will occasion, which if not removed becomes hardened and producef this disagreeable disease. Diarhaa, Dysinte ry, and Chtilic, by removing all llmue bad bum. ore by which these complaints are occasioned, and by their singular action on the secretions os the mucous membrane. Scrofula, Scurvy, Ul cers and Inveterate Sores, by the power they exert in purifying the blond and all the springe and channels of life. Scorbutic Eruptions and Bait Complexion by their alteraiive effect upon the fluids that feed the skin, the morbid slaie of which occasions all eruptive complaints • Sal lotp. Cloudy, and other disagreeable Cemplex. tons. The use of the Pills and Bitters for s very short time, will make an entire cure of Erysipelas, Sail Hheum, and a striking improve ment in the clearness of the skin. The wont caseBof Common Colds and Influenza will most always yield to one or two doses of the Pills, And as a remedy for that distressing malady, the Piles, too much cannot be said in their fa. vor, for by using this medicine in very mode rate doses, it has been known to cure the worst of cases, and that too, of those who had tried almost every other remedy that could be pre scribed within the whole compass of the Mates rite Mediete. Females who value good health, should nevs er be without Spencer’s Pills and Bitters, a* they purify (he blood, remove obstructions, and give the skin a beautiful, clear and healthy ap pearance Elderly Persons make it a rule to tak« them 2 01 3 times a week, by which they re move the causes that produce disease, preserve their health, and keep off the infirmities of 1 age. Heads op Families should alwas keep this Medicine in the house, as a remedy in cases of sudden illness, for by their immediate adminis i (ration, Cholera Morbus, Diarrhoea, Cholic, Gout in the Stomach, Cramp,, Spasms, Pc ices, and other alarming complaints, which ofics profe fatal, may be speedily cured or preven ted. All that is required of those who usa "this i Medicine is to use it strictly according to ths directions. It is not by any thing the proprie tor himself may say in their favor that he hopes gain credit. It is alone by the result of a fair trial. DR. HULL’S VEGETABLE FEVER & AGUE, AVID AMTI-FEVER PILLS The following certificate was given by threo highly respectable Planters, hear Fife Post Office, Talladega County, Ala., one of whom had used twelve boxes of the pills in his own family.

Wcw Terms of Advertising. The accumulation on our books ot debts due us in other counties, and in other States ; anp the great difficulty attendant upon their collec tion—to sav nothing ot the tax thereby imposed on us, and the losses we are forced to sustain, by many of our distant debtors neglecting to send us the amounts they may severally owe— forces on us the necessity of adopting a mode of compnting the cost of publications to be made in our columns, which can be easily undei stood, and which will enable our patrons to en close, with their advertisements, the money to pay- for them. Our new terms will not vary, materially, from the old ones; and where there is any changa it will be found to be in favor of the advertiser:—For example, we propose to make 80 words, or less, one square; more than 80, and jess than 160 two squares; move than 160, and less than 240 three squares, &e. Under the old system the square averages about 75 woi ds. The price of advertising will not be changed; the change in the mode of computing the quan tity of matter in advertisements, is adopted spy. cially with a view to relieve oureelf from the evils of the credit system. These rules, we propose, shall apply in all cases where the persons making publication re tide out of this ci'.y, except they be Sheriffs, Coroners, Registers in Chancery, Clerk*or Court, or other public officers. Where we open an account with officers of court and others of that class,we reserve to our silt the right to charge Iheold,pried.
