E'W or none of the snuffs in ordinary use-
unite those advantages as an elegant sternu-
tatory, which Tobacco, combirfed with other in-
gredients, is capable ofproducing. The common
Scoth snuff is not only destitute of fine flavor,
but is universally allowed to be injurious to the
bead and stomach, and sooner or later effects the
transparency, and colour ofthe skin. '1‘ he coarse
black snuffs, instead of clearing and stimulating
the olfactory nerves, serve but to obstruct and
deaden them ; and in process of time, by stop-
ping the passages, has an evidenteffect upon the
speech. The Volatile Arornatic Smgffi Will, by ex-
perience, be found not liable to these objections-
‘its flavor is fragrant and delightful—the effect
pleasing and salutary--it opens and purges the
head——sensibly stimulates the spirits, and re-
moves that drowsiness which on some occasions
will prevail in spite of our utmost efforts to baffle
it. By repeated experiments, it isknown to be
of essential service to those who are troubled with
long, dull, nervous head-aches, and will be found
fa r superior for thispurpose to theCcphalic snuff.
In cases of catarrh, or what is commonly called
a cold in the head,a pinch or two taken at nigh-
on going to bed, will, by moistening the mucus,
effectually remove all obstructions befoxe morn-
ing. All those troubled with the hypochondria
or vapors, uill find in this chemical preparation
a complete antidote. During a tedious confine-
ment in a crowded house, or a warm atmosphere,
after a fatiguing walk, or. a long ride, a pinch or
two of this snuff will by its grateful and enliven-
ing qualities, richly repay the purchaser the
trouble of constantly having it in his pocket, and
which, when well secured, will, for a long time,
answer all the purposes of la smelling bottle.—
From its great antiputrescent qualities, no com-
position is bctter qualified to resist contagion ; the
use of it therefore is indispensable for all those
who watch with, or visitthe sick. All sedentary
and studious persons of either sex, will find by its
occasional use, a cheap and cheering relief from
that lassitude which invariably accompanies a
long sitting, or much reading. This snuff, the
fragrance of which is derived altogether from the
natural flavor of the principalarticles of which it
is composed, is well stopt in a handsome square
' bottle, made expressly for the purpose, and which
will be foundto unite all the advantages of a snuff
Box.

8ir—-In answerto your letter containing an en-
umeration of the articles composing your snuff,
together withja sample ofit, I would remark, that
although I have found no reason for changing my
-well known opinion of the pernicious effects of
the inordinate use of tobacco, in any form, I nev-
ertheless cannot perceive the same objection to
yours. The articles are certainly innocent in
their qualities. Those liable tonervous and oth-
er head-aches Well know that fits of these dis-
tressing affections, most commonly subside on a
spontaneous sneezing towards night, and if this
reliefcan be expedited by a sternntatory, I should
give the preference to your snuff over that of
powdered tobacco, or even the imported Cc/2/zalic
Srmfl, the ingredients of which are unknown to
us. ' VVith this view I have used your composi-
ment. An indisputable title andimmediate pos- tion myself, and recommended it to others.

STATE or CONNECTICUT, ss.
Lizc/field, JVo'uembcr 27, 1818.
GE.N‘ER.flL ORDERS.
The Captain General has attentively consider-
ed the perspicuou s report of the Judge Advocate
for the county of Fairfield, relative to the pro-
ceedings of a General Court Martial in the fourth
brigade of the militia of this state, holden at
Fairfield, on the 29th day of September last, for
the trial of Captain William Giddings of the sev-
enth company in the‘ fifteenth regiment in said
' brigade.
It appears that a plea to the jurisdiction of the
court was offered on the part of Captain Gid-
dings, on the ground thatthe said court. was not
constituted in the manner required by the stat-
ute law of this state. From the facts disclosed
by the report, it appears that by the order of the
Brigadier General, ,the court was to consist of
thirteen members, viz. one colonel, two lieuten.
ant colonels, two majors‘;,tl1ree Captains, and five‘
lsubalterns. That tlfelcourt ivhich actually con-
vened, consisted of one colonel, one lieut. colonel,
two captains, and thre,e;;-lieutenants from -the
fourth regiment ; of one major, one captain, and
two lieutenants from the twenty.-fourth regiment,
and of one lieutenant colonel "from. the ninth re-
ed from the ninth“ regiment, but that there was
no major belonging to said regiment. ‘Also, that
from the lsth regiment, there was no officer of
any rank detailed, nor was any reason assigned
for the deficiency. The statute requires that
the members composing courts martial, shall be
detailed by seniority, in a regular rotation of du-
ty ; that the brigade majors shall detail and no-
tify the field officers, and apportion to the seve-
ral regiments in the brigade, the number of cap-
tains and subalterns of each regiment who shall
be detailed and notified by the adjutants.
The Captain General is of opinion, that in ca-
ses where the details for the formation of brig-
ade courts martial, do not embrace an apppor-
tionment of members from the several regi-
ments, as required by law, the omission is jzrima
facie evidence, that the organization of such court
is defective, and that the reasons ofthe deficien-
cy ought to appear from the returns of the brig-
ade majors, or in. some other manner. No proof
or explanatory suggestion, on the part-of the
prosecution has been exhibited -in the present
case, and therefore, on a view‘ of all the facts dis-
closed, the Captain General is of opinion, that
the plea to the jurisdiction of the court as consti-
tuted, ought to have been allowed.
From the testimony and evidence, in relation
to the plea to the merits, it appears that during
the-periods specified in the‘ complaint, 't‘h'e"'Eom-
pany commanded by captain Giddings was desti-
subaltern officers has existed since the period of
the new organization of,the militia in August
181.6 : that no neglect of duty in respect to the
said vacancies, has been alledged against, or im-
puted to the said captain Giddiugs ; "and that a
continued state of ill health, sufficient to form a‘
valid excuse for the omission of military duty,
seems to have been proved.
On a view of the whole matter, the Captain
General does not perceive, from the report, suf-
ficient ground to justify the censure inflicted by
the court martial, and therefore hereby disap-
proves of the sentence they have awarded, and
directs that the court martial, of which Colonel
Daniel Burritt is President, be and the same is
hereby dissolved. , _

of the fourth company in the twenty-fourth regi-
ment in said brigade and hereby approves of the
said proceedings, and of the sentence awarded by
said court martial, and diretxs that the General
