9ROM THE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
Literal Errors.
Messrs. Editors.
Some twenty years ago I used to
write occasionally for the press, and
was thus led to take a little more
notice than common of typographi
cal mistakes. I was vexed enough,
and often, at* the trouble given by
the blunders of some ignorant or
careless workmen, and compelled
to revise my own proofs to give my
readers some tolerable chance for
ascertaining my meaning. It was
about this tiibe that a printing house,
under the title of the “ literary
office,” was established, with good
reason, but poor success ;, for its
productions were rather more tile-
Urate than those of any of its fel
low-craftsmen. Since then, I pre
sume, these literary pretension*
have been dispensed with in prin
ters, and authors left to see to the
correctness of their works them
selves. However that may be, I
have bad nothing to do with the
business for some time, but to read
the publications of the day, with
put caring whether they were well
Or ill printed. I could not but smile,
though, now and then, at the ludi
crous mistakes 1 continually per*
ceived in the newspapers, general
ly the extent of my literary re
searches ; and at length, a few
weeks since, commenced a memo
randum of such material ones as 1
should fall under my observation.
The list being now full enough. 1
believe, to fill a column or newspa- 1
per essay of a decent length, 1 send 1
you its contents for republication ;
—and if you do not smile at some
items in the catalogue,- you will at
least learn from them how much im- -
portance may depend on [the oinis
•ion or addition of] a single letter
The first blunder 1 noted was in
an account of a dreadful storm in 1
France, after which “ two hundred '
and fifty peasants were found killed 1
by the hail,” according to one pn- i
per. What an awful destruction! *
thought I, and how impossible!—
until in some other papers, I found i
it correctly stated, pheasants, the h t
being omitted in the first. <
The same paper contained the (
advertisement of what it denomina- I
ted a cheat store—doubtless in- '
tended for cheap one. Well, tho’t i
I, possibly the truth by mistake, (
and therefore the more provoking
to the trader, who might well tell t
the printer his paper ought to be t
“ right to a t.”
A few days after, skimming over t
0 bundle of old country papers, I f
lit upon a dismal writer on the Mis (
Souri question, who bitterly depre- i
cated the possible consequences of j
that dreadful dispute, to the “ Un- |
tied States.” Whether he meant I
United or not, 1 could not discover
by his lamentable strain, as he was ;
apprehensive of a dissolution of the ;
union. Perhaps the printer did not
transpose the letters.
About this time 1 saw an account i
i/T a feeing at torney, apparently in i
tended for a feeling one, but very (
posaiidy the more safe, if not cor- 1
Tent reading, without the I. I
In another paper I read a story i
of a number of persons who had i
ibeen to a gpeat religious assembly, ,
where they were vehemently exor
cised. thought I—like the days
the apostles— cast out devils—
Well, perhaps in this way the good
folks exercise•/ their visitants. And
if such were the case, it could not j
be said, as I once saw in a paper, ;
that. ,
“ —they who went to jess retur- j
o’d to.play,” instead of pray, as the i
graceless compositor should have
put it. i
An advertisement in a late ga
zette, announced a property for
sale, of which it said the gardens
were “ laid out with great waste."
Possibly true ! thought I, although
taste was the word intended, and
both not incompatible with each o
ther. Not “ right to at” again.
Another offered a manufactory
for sale, “ calculated for a veiy ex
pensive establishment” —for exten
sive. Not “ right to at” again. Yet
possibly more true.
The next memorandum was of a
celebrated temple of antiquity rased
by the hands of its builder. What
an affront to the memory of the pious
monarch who raised it. The lan
guage is not murdered, as Curran
said—it has only an i knocked out.
I was soon after startled on falling
in with an article headed “ infernal
improvements” of this state, and
predicting nothing but mischief and
ruin—to certain districts—even to
Albany itself—from the great ca
nals. Here I suspected ,my old
friend t was ill-treated again, and
should be restored to bis place in
all the internal concenrs of the com
monwealth.
An editor, byway of congratulat
ing a new married man on the ac
quisition of so much booty in bis
bride was suspected not to be so
very wide of the mark, however
blunt the compliment, although it
was evidently so much beauty he
meant to say.
But bow alarmed must the musi
cal world have been, upon seeing
announced for public exhibition, a
duel by Messrs. Incledon and Phil
lips ! Discord between these two
celebrated son* of harmony, to so
deadly a pitch, and the public invit
ed to witness it! Nothing but a
duet after all, if poor t had been
permitted to occupy its proper
place.
“ The press with all its errors ”
was held op in terrorem lately to a
politcal adversary ; who must have
smiled at the impotency of the
threat, which is divested of all its
force, and a mere blank cartridge,
by the omission of the t, to consti
tute the terrors.—VVhen will prin
ters be “ right to a t ?”
T, again. I read of a team ship
being spoken at sea, bound to N.
Orleans, probably the Robert Ful
ton, navigated by steam, and not one
o| our horse-boats of the ferries.
But what would the Boston (or
New-York) eulogists say to that
country editor, who told his readers
that Mr. Kean, the famous actor,
was playing there to fool houses!
More meant than met the ear in giv
ing full so broad an accent.
j’he editor of a weekly publica
tion, lately inserted the phrase
weakly Miscellany, in speaking of
his work—whether through inge
nious modesty or ingenios mistake,
I will not decide.
One of our papers the other day
said of a certain celebrated, though
somewhat equivocal military char
acter, that on a particular occasion,
his retreat being cut off, he found
no resource but in flight— meaning
fight, but whether stumbling nearer
the fact or not, I cannot say.
In one of the late “ reminiscen
ces” of the Boston papers, a criti
cism of Dr. Byles was called a wit
ticism. From the known character
of the reverend doctor, however, I
presume either phrase would be
correct.
But what think you often thous
and dollars loss on a single “ cup of
coffee,” said to be suffered in one
of the West India islands 1 Impos
sible, unless the cup were like the
bowls ofCleopatra’s wine, in which
were melted pearls of immense
value. The careful printer meant
to say crop.
In a New-Jersey paper the teach
er of a female academy offers to in
struct young ladies in the elegant
and useful accomplishment of sigh
ing instead of singing. Perhaps
some of his flair pupils would prefer
the mistake to the correction. It is
not sq bad, however, as a painter
advertising to paint sighs by the
printer giving the n a long too hind
leg.
I read in a city paper, that such
an actor played the Dug of Venice—
a new character, substituted by the
printers for the Doge of Venice.
But, sir, only imagine my aston
ishment, on carelessly looking into
old papers to see it asserted, on a
certain balloting in a certain great
house or assemblage, for a speaker,
that n number of members were
bought over to vote against the can
didate from their own state ! Mercy
on us ! says I, here’s scandelum
magnatum, contempt, breach of
privilege, and 1 know not what all,
if not high treason itself! And I
waited in the greatest anxiety and
suspense, until I found his apology
in the next day’s paper ; stating his
absence at the time of the publica
tion, and desiring his readers for
the offensive word to substitute the
intended monosyllable brought. —
And so I suppose that storm blew
over poor Ty.p*r

« TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.”
Meeting with these auspicious
words at the head of an article in u
late Mobile newspaper, we hastily
glanced our eyes below, to see what
bad called forth so expressive an
apostrophe. Was it the discovery
of the perpetual motion, of the phi
losopher’s stone, or of the elixir of
life ? Had the rot in the staple of
the country been extermined, or an
infallible preventative invented for
its destructive fevers ? What new
blessing was proposed to the human
race, or to what fatal evil had an
antidote been disclosed ? Some
thing of this sort we figured to our
selves when we found that News
was to be related which was “ too
good to be true.”
W hat, then, was our astonishment
when we found these words served
as a preface to a vague report
of the probability of a War be
tween this Country and Spain! With
such levity as this do men treat the
omens of a state of things which, at
all times, imparts wretchedness to
thousands, sufferings and death to
many, and cause and anxiety to all.
Os aur readers, we trust, there
are few who will not at once be
struck with the absurdity of rejoic
ing at tbe prospect of an event so
pregnant with evil. It appears to
be vain to reason against so prepos
terous a proposition. It would be
sufficient peremptorily to deny its
truth ; yet we cannot forbear a few
observations in support of that de
nial.
It is not inconsistent with our
purpose, to allow that War may be
come necessary, and when necessa
ry is justifiable. Courage and
strength are given to men for the
protection of their political freedom
and personal rights, and to repel
encroachments on them, from what
ever quarter. This nation has
twice been engaged in war ; but in
each case, war had been waged a
gainst us long before we returned
the blow, and we had not the choicfe
of alternatives. On other occasions
we might easily have been involved
in war, and even with this very gov
ernment of Spain, but for the wisp
counsels which determined ourgov
ernment to prefer a pacific policy,
tbe fortunate results of which our
readers are well apprized of.
But, in the abstract, what is there
in War which should induce an Ame
rican politician to consider the ru
mor of it “ too good"to be true ?”
To prevent a greater evil, we allow,
war may be resorted to. It is the
last appeal of governments. To
save life, a limb may be amputated ;
to extirpate a cancer we scarify the
body : and to cure a fovi r, we re
sort to what, under other circum
stances, would be poison to our
health. Shall we therefore wan
tonly lop off a limb, disfigure our
face, or drug ourselves with opium
and antimony ?
Let us not fall into the error of
supposing, because we rose with
new strength from the wars in which
this nation has been engaged, that
it i$ good to be at war. The policy
of this nation is peace. Not to speak
of the accumulation of debt, entail
ing endless taxation on a people,
which it infallibly occasions. War
engenders a thousand ills which it
were well to avoid; It fosters a
restless military spirit in a people,
which spurns “ the dull pursuits of
civil life,” and in chase of the phan
tom of glory, seeks for a different
field for the exercise of talent, than
that which our simple constitution
affords. It builds up reputations
and fortunes for a few at the ex
pence of the many. It multiplies
the number of widows and orphans
—of the helpless and bereft; and,
under our system of temporary
levies particularly, furnishes graves
for thousands upon thousands who
never have an opportunity so see an
enemy. It introduces crimes, too,
as well as diseases unknown to a
state of peace.
War may he necessary, we have
admitted, but it is always a neces
sary evil.
But perhaps it may be thought
there would lie something particu
larly felicitous in a war with Spain.
If so, it must he, because she is
weak, and we have no occasion to
fear her. This motive, for desiring
a war with Spain, we are sure, the
American peopde would disdain—
for they are magnanimous. More
over, it would be founded in a great
mistake. Once at war with Spain,
our commerce would be swept from
the ocean. Buccaneers of every
nation, and even of our own, would
assume her flag j and the Alabama
editor would grossly deceive him
self if be counted on the maritime
weakness ufSpain. In this respect,
Great Britain herself, with her
thousand ships of war, would scarce
ly be a more formidable enemy. —
On the other hand. Spain has little
wealth afloat, on which to make
reprisals; her treasuieships will not
venture upon the ocean in such a
season, or, if a scattering one fell
into our power, it would he a smull
loss to the government of Spain, to
counterbalance which,.hundred* of
1 our mercantile fellow-citizens would
1 be ruined by the capture of their
' private property. But we couldi
1 take xMexico, it may be said, anl
1 indemnify ourselves from its store
-1 house of the precious metals. Fatal
' delusion, if this be the prize which
f gilds the prospect of a war with
f Spain. If Mexico were already
1 ours, the shirt of Nessus would not
r be a more fatal gift. What would
' be its dross in comparison with tbe
* blessings we now enjoy ! What its
1 boundless territory and bottomless
' mines, if the possession of it endan
' ger our present blessings, and ren
* der insecure the enjoyment of the
> soil on which we live.
In some governments, war may
1 strengthen tbe hands of their rulers.
I In a Monarchy, it enlarges the pow
-1 er of the sovereign, extends patron
age, and surrounds the throne with
1 a false, but not therefore less daz
zling splendour. In a Republic,
t these, instead of being inducements
> against it, where it can be avoided.
> {to war, are irresistible arguments
* p War isagame,” it has been written,
5 !“ which were their subject* wise,
5 Kings would not play at.” With
* how much more force may it not be
> >aid, of a government of the people,
> of which their happ.ness should be
■ the sole principle, that war for any
! thing less than essential rights would
* be “ the madness of the many for the
' penefit of a few.”
If war should ever again become
ecessary, let us buckle on our
r rmor, and meet it like men. But
- ar from us be the sentiment, that
- he news of approaching war is
I /* too good to be true."

i i ANECDOTE.
|, , An English traveller, after describ-
J mg tbe fete given at Paris in honor
j of the last peace with Cogland, con
] eludes with the following anecdote :
j “ A lusty young Frenchman, who
| from his head dress, a la Titus, I
i shall distinguish by that name, es
i corting a lady, whom on account of
I her beautiful hair, I shall style
Berenice, stood on one of the hind
i most benches. The belle, habited
in a tunic a la Greque, with a spe
, cies of sandals which displayed the
■ elegant form of her leg, was unfor
tuuately not of a stature sufficiently
. commanding to see over the heads
. of the other spectators. It was to
no purpose that the gentleman call
. ed out ‘ a has les chapeaux !’ when
, the hats were off the lady still saw
. no better. What will not gallantry
, suggest to a man of fashionable
j education ? Our considerate youth
. perceived, at no great distance,
. some persons standing on a plank
supported by a couple of casks,—
r Confiding the fair Bernice to my
. care, he vanished: but almost in an
p instant, he re-appeared followed by
i two men, bearing an empty hogs
head, which it seems he procured
f from from the tavern at the west
j entrance of the Tbuilleries. To
i place the cask near the feet of the
t lady, pay for it, and fix her on it,
r was tbe business of a moment.—
; Here then she was like a statue on
. its pedestal, enjoying the double
, gratification of seeing and being
r seen.— But for enjoyment to be
t complete, we must share it with
i with those we love. On examining
, the space where she stood, the lady
f saw there was room for two; and
. accordingly invited the gentleman
tto place himself teside her. In
j vain he resisted her entreaties;
i in vain he feared to incommode her.
j She commanded ; he could do no
. less than obey. Stepping upon the
3 bench, he thence nimbly sprang to
i the cask ; but O, fatal catastrophe L
, —while by the light of the neigh
i boring clusters of lamps, everyone
3 was admiring the mutual attention of
> this sympathising pair, in went tbe
) head of the hogshead I Our till then
, envied couple fell suddenly up to
i the middle of the leg in the wine
less left in the cask, by which they
» were bespattered up to their very
eyes. Nor is this all ; being too
eager to extricate tbemselve * they
t overset the cask, and came to the
ground rolling in it and its offensive
. contents. It wou|d be no easy mat
) ter to picture the ludicrous situation
> of citizen Titus and Madame Bere
r nice. This being the only mischief
> resulting from their fall, a universal
. burst of laughter seized the sur
. rounding spectators, in which I took
t so considerable a share that 1 could
, not immediately afford my assist
i ance.”

To Preserve Tomatoes Through Hie
Winter.
Peel the Tomatoes, cut them small,
and stew them without water, their
own juice being sufficient: season
them with salt, pepper, grated gin
ger, garlic pounded fine, to your
taste —when cool, put them up in
bottles and cork them so as to ex
clude the air—look al them fre
qufently, if you observe an efferves
cence of mould, or a disposition to
foment, heat them over a slow fire
—they must be done an earthen

be so well preserved—they re-1
quire to be kept on the fire some j
considerable time, until some are j
wasted, or they will not keep—!

Prince Ypsilanti was the son of a
Greek Hospodar (Governor) of
Moldavia. When the Russians
overren that province in 1811—12,
the Emperor Alexander took the
Hospador’s family under his pro
tection ; put his sous to a military
school, gave the eldest, tba subject
of this article a commission, and
afterwards introduced him into the
family. He was with the Emperor
near Dresden, when Moreau was
killed by his side ; and, it has been
said, was wounded by the shot
which killed Moreau. Forhis con
duct in the Greek insurrection, the
Russian Emperor ordered his name
to be struck off'from the army list ;
and Ypsilanti, having sought an
asylum in Hungary, was arrested,
and is prisoner in the celebrated
fortress of MootgutZ.—[CenriW,
Wounded Taylor. A taylor fol
lowing the army, was wounded in
the head by an arrow. When the
sturgeons saw the wound, he told his
patient, that as the weapon had not
touched his brain, there was no
doubt of his recovery. The taylor,
said, 4 If I had posaessd any brains, I
should uot have been here.
A Tavern Dinner. A party of ton
vivants, who recently dined at a
celebrated tavern, after having
drank an immense quantity of wine
rang for the bell. The bill was ac
cordingly brought, but the amount
appeared, so enormous to one of the
company, [not quite so far gone as
the rest,] that he stammered out, it
was impossible so many bottles
could have been drank by seven
persons. ‘True, Sir,” said Boni
face, 4 but your honor forgets the
three gentlemen under the table.’
FROM THE MINERVA.
Confirmation. ——A poor woman
who had attended several confirma
tions, was at length recognized by
the bishop. 4 Pray have 1 not seen
you here before,’ said his Lord
ship ? 4 Yes replied the woman, ‘ I
get me conform’d as often as I can :
they tell me it is good for the rheu
matis.”
It is understood that the Navy
Department is in possession of suf
ficieat evidence to establish the pi
ratical character of the Panchetts,
alias Palmyra, recently captured by
the Grampus, and ordered to the
United States,. We have now two
armed vessels cruising between the
Maine and the opposite islands, and
another employed keeping a sharp
look out in the Mona Passage : these
vessels render a more important
service at this time to the country,
than the Mediterranean squadron,
which coasts the treasury twice as
much to keep afloat; the value of
our West India trade, scarcely
bears any comparison to the limited
commerce carried on in the former
quarter. —[Washington Gaz.
JVegro politeness. —ln some parts of our
country, it is customary (or squires and
clergymen, after performing the ceremo
. ny of marriage, to request the groom to
salute the bride, and a'compliance is con
sidered as a prelude to a general round
of salutations among the company. Some
time ago, a negro led his bride, with
many “unseen blushes,” before a Penn
sylvanian ‘squire, to get married. This
matrimonial black-smith had a practice
on all such occasions, to invite the parties,
after bis Judicial benediction, to take the
customary salute. As soon therefore as
he had pronounced them “one flesh,”
& denounced those who should part them,
he desired the groom, as usual, to salute
his bride. — Sambo, who was at once both
humble aod accommodating, had no
idea of taking the start of his betters in
their presence, and therefore, to avoid
the imputation of impudence, and also to
evince his gratitude for the services ren
dered him, took the bride by the hand,
led her forward to the squire, and ma
king a very obsequious bow, replied,
44 ater you, masta. ” It is said this Iyer of
knots never repeated this request after
wards.
