The Welcome.
A OEM FROM DAVI8’S IRISH BALLADS.
Comp in the evening, or come in iIip morning,
Come when you’re looked for, or come without
warning.
Kisses* and welcome yu'll find here before you.
And theoftnei you come here the more I'il adore
you.
Light is my heort since the dnv we were plighted,
lied is my cheek that they told me was blighted;
The green of the trees looks far greener than ev.
cr,%
And the linnets are singing, -True lovers don’t
sever!"
I'll pull you sweet flowers, to wear if you choose
Or, after you’ve kissed them, they’ll lie on my bo.
som.
I’ll fetch from the mountain its breeze to inspire
you ;
I’ll fetch from my fancy a tale that won’t tire you.
O ! your step’s like the rain to the summer-vexed
farmer,
Or sabre and shield to a Kn'ght without armor,
I'll ting you sweet songs till the stars rise above
mn»
Then, wandering, I’ll wish you in silence to love
me.
We’ll look through the trees at the cliff and the
eyrie,
We’il tread tound the rath on the track of the lai.
ry
We’ll look on the stars, and we'll list to the river,
Till you ask of your darling what gill you can give
her.
O! she'll whisper you, ‘Love as unchangeable
beaming.’
And trust, when in secret, moat tunefully stream
ing,
Till the starlight of Heaven above us shall quiv
er,
And our souls flow in one down Eternity’s river.
So, come in the evening, or romp in the morning,
Come when you’re looked for, or come without
warning,
Kisses and welcome you’ll find here before you,
And the olt’ner you come here the more 1*11 adore
you.
Light is my heart since the day we were plight
ed.
Red is my cheek that they told me was blighted;
The green of the trees looks fur greener than ev
er.
And the linnets are singing, “True lovers don't
sever!”

PREPARATORY SCHOOL
By R. FURMAN,
THE exercises of this school will be resums
ed on Monday next. It is the object of
the teacher to couiuAinicate instruction m eith
er a part or the whole of the studies required for
admission into the Fresh,zan class of the Uni
versity. These studies, as may be seen by ref
erence to the publication of the Faculty, are,
English Grammar Arithmetic, and Geography,
Four Books of Ctesar’s Gallia War; The Bu
colics of Virgil, and six books ol the .Fneid ;
Sallust, and several of Cicero’s Orations; Ja
cobs’ Greek Reader, and Latin Prosody.
Particular attention is paid to Elementary
Principles; and Beading Writing, and Spell
ing, toge'her with a daily exercise in the Sa
cred Scriptures, are, by no means, neglected.
Small boys are not lobe considered as exclu
ded. On the contrary, it is desirable to have
them, in order that they may be taught, from
the first, according to the method most approv
ed by the subscriber.
I he pi ice of tuition is reduced to that of ele
ven dollars a quarter of eleven weeks each, to
be paid at the end of every quarter,at which time
a v acation of two wteks is usually allowed.
Voiuig men desirous of qualifying them
selves for teaching in the country, would be
greatly benefited by spending a few months
with the subscriber.

University of Alabama, Jan 3. 1846.
Mr. Richard Furman, an Alumnus of this Uni.
versiiy, and the principal of an elementary and
classical school in this vicinity, having requested of
the Faculty of the University, an expression of their
opinion in regard to his qualifications as a teach*
er, the Faculty have no hesitation in saying, that
they regard him a9 at once able and faithful, and as
abundantly deserving the patronage of an intelligeii
public.
Mr. Furman has been for six years engaged in
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 him
any testimonials which their attainments would not
justify. It is characteristic of him to slate, with the
utmost frankness, to all whom it may concern, what
he believes to be the progress made by the pupils
under his charge.
As an able, honest, and faithful teacher, the Fac.
ulty of this University, therefore, very willingly say,
that they know no one moie deserving than Mr.
Furman, of the confidence of the public.
By order of the Faculty.

Mr. Furman—Sin—By on ordinance of the
Board of Trustees of the University, passed at thcii

to issue to the teacher or teachers of those candi
dates for admission, who, on the formation of each
succeeding class, shall appear to be best prepared
a eriificate to that effect, und an expression of the
approbation of the Faculty.
Among those who have been received into the
Class recently formed, three individuals have ap
pea red to surpass th© others in their acquaintance
with the preparatory sntdies ; and two of ;hose are
from your School. In accordance, therefore, with
the Ordinance above cited, this certificate is issued
to you, testifying to the superior attainments of
your pupils over the mass of those applying for •
mission to the University.

ALABAMA INSTITUTION,
For tli« Education of the Blind,
AT TUSCAL.OOHA.
THIS Institution commenced its second ses
sion the second Moudsy in March, and
the operations of the Institution have been very
much embarrassed on account ol tho 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 lie 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 taught in academies for seeing
persons, the Principal has engaged the ser
vices of teachers of experience and thoroughly
acquainted with all the branches in this In
stitution.
Mr. T. S. NEWELL, a graduate of the
Ohio Institution for the Mind, will act aB Pro
fessor of Vocal and Instrumental Music.
Mr. H. 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 Institution at a very moderate
salary being actuated more by the interest they
feel for thj blind, than any pecuniary consid
eration.
The following course of study and regulations
have been adopted tor the present session:
The Scholars are required to rise at the
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
after breakfast; from that lime till 6, the girls
are engaged in arranging the rooms; fiom
quarter past 8 to quarter past 0, Arithmetic ;
from half-past 9 to halt-past 10, English Gram
mar; three quarters past 10 to three quarters
past 11, reading th" raised print ; from 12 to 1
Geography and Writing; dine at 1. In the
Afternoon the girlB are engaged in learniug to
make fancy works: instruction on the,Piano, and
raised print are attended to till 6 o’clock P. M.,
at which time the pupils lake supper: prayeis
immediately after supper. Pupils are expected
to attend church, and are taken to whatever
church ihey wish to attend in the city. From
2 to 4, on the sabbath, the pupils will be as
sembled to hear reading of sacred history, or
a lecture from some interesting passage of
scripture, calculated to direct their thoughts to
a perusal of the bible.
i ne rrincipai would nere stole 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
tn going on ; and as our agent, whose family
has been ill, is expected soon, he will be re
quested to visit all the counties in the State,
for the purpose of laying the subject before
the citizens generally.
The cost to those who are able to pay will be
$150 per year; and as many indigent blind,
will be received and educated as the funds re
ceived will support, we request the editors of
the diif;rent papers who may read this adver
tisement, to insert it in their columns.
The Principal of this Institution would be
obliged to persons having children or relatives
blind, to write immediately, stating the age,
capacity, circumstances, &.C., wis ing to re
ceive a situation,

To Planters.
Bullock’s Progressive power
Press,
For Parking and Compressing Cotlon on
the Plantation, effecting a saving of 75
cents per bale.
i
I
THE attention of Planters is invited to this
powerful and economical Machine. Its
qualities having been fairly and conclusively
tested in the city of Mobile, and elsewhere, du.
ring the last two years, it is now confidently
submitted as a lucrative acquisition to every
Cotton Planter in the country, whatever may
be the scale of his operations ; and at ajirice
comparatively trifling to the purchaser. Be
tween its cost and its value, it would be difficult
to institute a comparison. In all cases, without
a single exception, it has given unbounded sat
isfaction. It not only po -esses every function
heretofore so long sought us necessary to a com
plete Cotton Pi ess for plantations, but others
not hitherto conjectured as available. Among
its ascertained and unquestionable advantages,
may be enumerated the following:—
1st. Its machinery is perfectly simple and
substantial; requiring only negroes to attend to
it, and not liable to get out of order. It obvi
ates the yearly bill for repairs usually entailed
by the screw press, and the Planter has the eat.
iefaction of knowing that it is always ready for
use. lie first cost is its only cost.
2d. It occupies a space of but 4 by 10 feet;
can be put up in one comer, or along side of the
Gin House, and always kept under cover. He
quiring but one horse power, it can be worked
by the same power that drives the gin, and, if
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 loss
and inconvenience attendant upon the carriage
of the cotton from the Gin House through the
rain and up the ladders to the press, by which
process much is often trampled into the mud,
and great labor and loss of time are incurred.
4th. It enables the 6ame number of bauds,
ordinarily engaged at the screw-press, to do
double the amount of work in a given time, and
in a very superior manner, with apparently no
more exertion ; from twenty-five to thirty bales
can be packed with this press, in the same
time, and with the same manual labor, that
twelve or fifteen bales can be packed with the
screw.
vui. JIB Bti|jenuniy mi pacKin^ consists noi
merely in flie neat and square form which it
gives to the bales, hut also in lessening the lia
bility of the bagging being torn in handling;—
thus greatly obviating both the damage of the
cotton from exposure at the landings and place
of export, and those heavy “ wantage” bills
which are inseparable from the present loose
style of pack ng.
6th. li 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,
7th. It thus saves the expense of compression
at Mobile, which, though directly paid by the
ship-owners, indirectly comes from the pocket
of the Planter, and this, added • the saving of
one yard, or hulf a breadth, of bagging, and
u.ore than one rope upon each bale, is a sav.rig
to the Planter of at least severity-five cents per
bale, independently of the wantage and dnmage
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.
8ih. The power and other facilities afforded
by this press, would enable the Planter to adopt
round iron straps instead of the ropes now used,
with demonstrable advantage in several impor
tant particulars. Annealed iron wire of about
3-lGlhs 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 from these facta 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.
9th. UAt,_ paramount to all the advantages
above enumerated, 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 Press combinations at Mobile, and thus
to extorpate an evil which has long been deeply
felt by the 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 as a new and uncertaia 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 has been
seen, and has more than realized, in every in
stance, the highest expectations of the purcha
sers.
A Press of this description has been in use at
Thompson’s Pickery during the past two years,
where it can be seen at any time packing 650
or 700 lbs. into the same space a bale of 500 lbs.
would be if made by a screw.

DR. SPENCER S
Vegetable Tonic and restorative
BITTERS.
Health—“ The. poor man’s riches
— The rich man’s bliss ”
THE Pioprictor of tbia Medicine, actuated
by a desire to benefit his 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 require 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
perlies, upwards of Ore Thousand Certif
icates, from the most respectable Citizens in
different sections ofthe Union, might be appen
ded ; but the high reputation which my Vegeta
ble Pills, (known as Spencer's Vegetable
Pills; have acquired, is all sufficient to recom
mend my Bitters to the special notice of the
; afflicted.
They are purely Vegetable and may be ta
ken with perfect safely 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 circulation, strengthen
the digestive organs, and produces healthy ac
tion, throughout the system ;—Loss of Appe
tite, Heartburn, Headache, Flatulency, Palpita
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 ol
its cure.
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
to remove all these complaints, not bv constant
ly physicing, 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 buwels with purgative medi
cines, without having a proper tonic to1accom
pany them. When these complaints exist, the
system is already loo weak, and every addition
al dose tends to make it inure so. Spencer’s
Vegetable Pills possess tonic and restore
live properties independent of their purgative
ettects, ana are oeneveu 10 oe me only purga
tive Pill in existence that possess these impor
tant properties. Spencer's Bitters also ac
ting as a still more effective tonic and restora
live, strengthen the digestive organs, and as*
sisl them to perform their functions as nature
designed. Hence they are found to be effica
cious also 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 costivt ness, and those who have
suffered from loss of appetite, have experienced
great benefit from them. In Convalescence
from Fevers, and other acute disorders, thev
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 this worst of maladies. The
Proprietor has known hundreds of cases, from
bix to twelve 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, and have
declared it to be the most sovereign and last
ing remedy they evey heard of. In fact the
Proprietor has never known them to fall curing
the very worst 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
tism, 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 allTne slimy matter to which
these creatures adhere. Algo Asthma, by re
lieving the lungs and air vessels from the mucus
which even slight colds will occasion, which if
not removed becomes hardened and producef
this disagreeable disease. Diarhcea, Dysinte
ry, and Cholic, by removing all those bad hum
ors 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 springs
and channels of life. Scorbutic Eruptions and
Bad Complexion by their alterative effect upon
the fluids that feed the skin, the morbid state of
which occasions all eruptive complaints ; Sal
low, Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complex
tons. The use of the Pills and Bitters for a
very short time, will make an entire curt of
Erysipelas, Sail Rheum, and a striking improve
ment in the clearness ol the skin. The worst
cases of 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
rim Mediese.
Females who value good lienllh, should neve
er be without Spencer's Pills and Hitters, a
they purify the blood, remove obstructions, and
give the skin a beautiful, clear and healthy ap
pearance
Elderly Persons make it a rule to take
them 2 01 3 times a week, by which they re
move the causes that produce dtseas°, preserve
their health, and keep off the infirmilie9 of
■ge.
Heads of Families should alwas keep this
Medicine in the house, as a remedy in cases of
sudden illness, for by their immediate adminis.
tralion, Cholera Morbus, Diarrhoea, Cholic,
Gout in the Stomach, Cramps, Spasms, Fevers,
and other alarming complaints, which open
profe fatal, may be speedily cured or preven
ted.
All that is required of those who use "this
Medicine is to use it strictly according to Hie
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.

VEGETABLE FEVER & AGUE, AMD AMTI-FEVER
PILLS
The following certificate was given by three
highly respectable Planters, near Fife Post
Office, Talladega County, Ala., one of whom
had used twelve boxes of the pills in his own
family.
^ This is to certify, that we have used Dr. Hull's
Fever and Ague Pills in our families in several
cases of Fever, and Chills and Fevei ; and
their administration has been attended with
complete success. In no case have they failed
to produce the desired effect, when used accor
ding to directions. We think they are a good
Pill, and would cheerfully recommend them to
all persons subject to Fever, and Chills and
Fevpr.

Un. C. E. Hull : Dear Sir—Your Fever
and Ague Fills, left with us last July, by your
agent, were disposed of very soon after we re
ceived them. We could no doubt have dispo
sed of three hundred boxes, if we Imd them, ub
it was uncommonly sick in this vicinity last
season. So far as we could learn, (and we mado
particular inquiry,) they did not fail in curing a
single case, when used according to directions.
Some of our most respectable planters used
them in preference to Sappinglon’s Fills. Flcase
send us two hundred and twenty-four boxes,
and very much oblige, respectfully yours,

New Terms of Advertising.
The accumulation on our books of debts due
us in other counties, and in other States ; anp
the great difficulty attendant upon their collec
tion—to say 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 computing the cost of publications to be
made in our columns, which can be easily under
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 change 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 less than 160 two squares; more
than 160, and less than 240 three squares, &c.
Under the old system the square averages about
75 words.
The price of advertising will not be changed;
the change in the mode of computing the quan
tity of matter in advertisements, is adopted spe.
cially with a view to relieve ourself 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 city, except they be Sheriffs,
Coroners, Registers in Chancery, Clerks or
Court, or other public officers.
Where we open an account with officers of
court and others of that e)ass,we reserve to our
self the right to charge thcoldjiricea.
