The .Soutlen Literary Messenger
S:a monthly perOdieal,decoted to every
_l_ department or Literature and the Fine
4 Arts. It has been established more than
11 years, during which time it has stood at
the head of American periodicals. It is pub
lished in the neatest style, and contains
great variety of interesting and instructive
reading-differing.widely from a majori
ty of our publications, in the solidity and
utility of its contents.
Newels, Tales, Poems, TraVeh, tssays,
Critiques, Reviews, Historical and Rio
graphical SketchN, Papers on the Army,
Navy, General Politics, and other Natio
nal interests adorn its pages.
To the South and West it confidently
appeals for support. Whilst it is distinctly
the friend and advocate of the South and
West, it is not sectional, having always
circulated quite widely in the North and
East, and having imparted a higher Nation
al Character to the Periodical Literature of
the United States: - Its motto is
‘qn the Union„and for the Union! In
the South and for the South I"
But the South and West should especial
; lv cherish it as it is the Only Literary Jour
nailof long and high standing, within all
''their wide borders, and has vindicated and
promoted their rights and interests. Du
ring another year it will seek to extend its
usefulness and fame, and solicits the in
creased patronage of the public ; and also
invokes the aid of its present patrons in ex
'
tending its circulation:
Its comributors are numerous—embra
eing professional and Amateur Writers.ofl
the first distinction. To the present- !
eient corps, new writers will be added, and
; neither trouble nor expense will be spared!
to.make 'the work eminently worthy of pa ,
image.
The twelfth. volume of the Messenger,
pumber CXXXIV, will commenced,on the
Ist olJanuary„ 1840. Eaclrunmber con

SUPERIOR COOK STOVE.
T HEatte n tion of the public is respectfully cal.
led to 13zsirzs FARMER'S COOK
the
as
an article superior to any yet offered to the public
for cooking purposes. It was got up expressly
to answer the wants of the Farmer, and will not
fail to please- all who may require a good sized
COOK STOVE. One of the many advantages
possessed by. this Stove jx, that water, apple-but
ter, clothing; &c. can be boiled in a large copper
kettle at the same time, whilst cooking is doing
for 20 or thirty persons. It is decidedly superior
for DARING—the heat being completely under the
control of the cook, who can apply it to the, bot
tom as well as- to the top of the oven, and thus
bake with perfect regularity. It is unnecessary
to give any further detail of its advantages. Please
refer to the subjoined certificate from Wm. V. El
liott. Esq., Patent Agent; of Washington City.— .
Many testimonials equally flattering could be fur
nished, but this may suffice. Those who want a
superior Cook Stove, will do well to try this arti
cle—they are warranted or no sale.

2d. For insurance no. more is demanded than is
necessary to meet the expenses of the Company

3d. The inconvenience of frequent renewals is
avoided by insuring for a term of live years.
4th. Any person applying for Insurance must
give his premium note for the cheapest class nt
the rale of 5 per centum, which will be $5O on
the $lOOO, for which he will have to pay $.2 50
for five years, and $1 50 for survey and policy,
and no more unless loss be sustained to a greater
amount than the funds on hand will cover, and

Caution to Et( Dealers,and the Public generally.
W'THIN few months past,. there has conic to light a series of ihe most bare-faced
and malicious thlsehoods that e%cr diS!rraced humanity—put forth ostensibly to
injure an inolknsive and worthy citizen. Read and judge.fellow-citizens,-pr your
selves. •
An ignorant. but artful young man, by the. name of C. V. Clickener, (an English
man, we believe,) succeeded in obtaining employment as Travelling Agent fur Dr. Bran
, dreth, who in the course of time discharged him (as he aflirms,) for dishonesty. He
then set up making Pills in connection with another Agent, who soon held to put an in
, junction upon his partner, said C. V. Clidiener, when the latter, finding himself
' cut off from all old quarters, turned his attention to somettew field of villainy. Seeing
the success of Dr. (4. BENJAMIN SMITH ' S "Sugar Coated Indian Vegetable Pills," he
carne to Dr. S. and solicited the agency, and 'failing ill which, he got hold of all the old
Pills he could, MIMI had been put out by himself and his Partner, put on w ort of
sugar coating, and sent them through the country. This is the history of the
fellow and his "Sugar Coated Pills." Now, alter being put down in New York, this
incorrigible youna scoundrel pivatel . ti gets up a Circular, calleil "Fxmir.r Docron," in
which are published the grossest falshoods, and also a PmunitY, and fearing to distrib
ute ONE'OE Advertise in NEw YOutc, he hastens front the city to Ohio and Indiana, leav
ing an agent to send the papers of falsehood to. our agents through the country. The
first intiniatiin that Dr. Smith had of their existence, one came eiwkised as follows, front
our agent, one of the most respectable merchants in Boston:
Dn. G. BENJAMIN Smurn : Boston, June With, 1845.
Dear Sir :—The object of the present is to inform you that a small paper called *Fam
ily Doctor,"l has been gratuitously circulated in dais city, by C. V. Clickener, a dis
charged agent of Dr. Brandreth. I enclose you'one. I more particularly refer you
to the lust page. lam preparing matter for the press, and will soon silence him, :IS he
h:18 no character to lose. lam disposed to spend ten thousand dollars, rather than not
have the matter righted, as I know yours is the standard medicine.
Yours, very respectfully, - ISAAC P. CLARK, 2 Water street.
LETTER FRON CEO. F. T 11031.4 S.

C=. BENZ. SMITH
Dear Sir :2-..My object in writing to you at this time, is to inform you that C. V
CLIC:HEXER is in this city, and trying to advertise his pills.
Your Pills have sold eccedingly ;yell here, and arc likely to continue to sell. I told
this Clickener I myself would have within , * to do with his pills, and also waruod hint
against saying any thing about your pills. 1- '1
told him we would not• be to aggressors,
but we were able and wom,n defend ourselves ; that I was acquainted with his manner
of doing businesS,. and would act accordingly ; that. I was your agent, and resolved
that you should have justice done you, and that 1 would interest myself in your pills as
if they were my own.
You
,will please answer this by return of mail, instructing me what to do, &c.
Yours, respectfully, tl. F. THOMAS
S. BENTZ
So it seems this Cliekener, the great "Chemist," is an itinerant pedlar—that lie" Wu-,

Mr. Bush's Store.

This Clickener swears that "1)r Smith called at his place in June 1844; when the,
.deponent and 'others were making his (Cliekener'S) "Sugar Coated" Pills, which hail
then been several' months before the public, and were - comma)?hip,. an immensi! sale ;
d
that Dr. Smith took up one Pill, asking what it was. On bei T told, lie (Dr. S.) de.,
A
.clared it was the first thing of the kind he ever saw," &e.- Cliekener further deposed: .
that he never saw or knew any thing, save by his reputation as a counterfeiter, &c., of
1 Dr. Smith, until the sth of June mentioned in the affidavit.
. We could not believe .the above was sworn to, until we went to the Commissioner
and found it was so, when it was at once pronounced a perjury ; and measures were
taken to arresi hint wherever he may be found. .
The following overwhelthing proofs of his falsehoods and baseness have been volun
tarily furnished Dr. Smith
Sworn. before the 'Mayor,
State of New Fork, City and County of New I'orle, ss. ''
. .
In the spring of 1841, abOut the first of May, a young man calling himself C.. V.
CmexEslin called at my store, and after remaining a short time, Dr. G. Benjamin,
Smith came in, when I introduced them. Said; Cliekoner, being a travelling agent,
made some proposition to Dr. Smith to take out his (Dr. Smiths') Pills. They then
left my store for Dr. S.'s house, avowedly to consult upon the matter. At this time I
knew•said 1)r. Smith had made his "Sugar Coated Pills" about one . year, and that said
Clickener had made none to my knowledge. In the course of about a month said
Cliokonor ipplie.d to mu (being a wholesale Confectioner) to coat sonic Pills with sugar
for him, stating ho was about to got some up.
