* I The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore | pal’iot writes —“1 can assure you. and 1 would not ijoso butfrom personal knowledge, that the friends of Mr. Van Buren hare -given up all hope of Iris election. 1 care not a fig for their talk— I speak of their real feelings and opinions. They have I'iven him up, and the waiters on Biovidonce are sedulously wooing the opposition.” A Picture to Paint.—“ Represent me in my portrait,” said a gentleman to his painter, “with a book in my hand, and reading aloud. Paint my servant also, in a corner where he cannot he seen, but in such a manner that he may hear me when I call him.” This was probably the same individual, the owner of a ferry, who once ordered at our office some hand hills of his ferry, and desired us to place at the head of the bill “a flat with a ferry man in a moving posture, —ho. C. & Sent. “ An Elegant Extract,” as the dcnlis tsaid when he pulled out half of a jaw with a tooth.” There is an excellent moral in the follow ing : “John, letch me a pitcher ot water.” “Not my business, sir.” -‘Right; harness the horses and jrivc Stephen to the pump.” OBIT TJ ART. “Each moment has its sickle, and cuts down the fairest bloom of sublunary bli-s.” Died,at the family residence, in Athens, on the ]fUh of June, 1840, Mrs. Elizabeth Bolling, wife cf Major Robert Taylor, oi that place, after a long, protr*ted illness. On the following she was en tombed'in the family vault, in the burying ground at Madison, Morgan county. She was born in Mclntosh county, Ga., cn the 2Gth day of March, *IBOO, daughter of the late Win. Dclony, Esq. of that- county, formerly of Virginia; from whose (lineage, as also from her mother’s, Mrs. Taylor was nearly allied to some of the o dest and mhst re spectable families m that State. 1 uring an illness of many months, her sufferings were often griev ous, but always borne with patience and resigna tion. She had no fears be} ond the grave, but was comforted as though she had seen her “name en rolled in the Book of Life.” She was of a most noble and charitable soul, —her prayers frequent, her reading much, —a great lo ver of truth and noble actions. Obliging and free in Ml acts of favor, and very unwilling to be in arrears to any on the stock of courtesies and liberality. She was of an honorable, nice and tender reputation ; though the pleasures of this world were laid before her, she took comparatively a small share. From early life she was disposed to piety; for many years she adorned a Christiun profession. Religion to her “was like ihe breath of Heaven.” Blessed are those who have part in the fir-t resurrection ; upon them the second death can have no power. Her way was regulated by a constant reference to those celestial lights, whose truth no one can impeach, and “whose laws are the law's of Eternity.” The last days are tire best witnesses; here her faith was most triumphant; she ha I so “Dimmed her lamp,” as to have disarmed Death of all its terrors ; in her words, all “was peace.” “Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillows are.” Her person was stately, her features symmetry itself; she had an easy elegance andgiace in all her actions and gestures, —a countenance radiant wkh smiles, —a fine poetic imagination, wit, gen iu®—a highly cultivated taste, saintly piety, and a warm zeal in all good works; combining a form and character almost perfect. It has been the lot of but few* to inspire such general respect, vener ation, and affection as she did. She shone to every body but herself; but the perfectness and prudence gfher excellent parts could not be hid, and all her humility and acts of concealment made the virtues more amiable and illustrious. To dwell upon the £harilies of her heart, the sweetness of her dispo sition, the amenity and simplicity of her manners, or the delights of her conversation, would appeal superfluous, 'j| these feelings, on a short acquaint ance, were lost in a still deeper feeling of affection and love. As a friend, she was warm and devoted, in the relations of daughter and sister, she was indeed dutiful and affectionate. If \9e look on her as a wife, she was an example to all, loving, de votedly confiding, and ten icily solicitous. She had a love so great for her husband, so entirely given up to that warm, burning affection, that she breathed in his soul, lived in his presence, lan guisl ed in his absence, and all that she was, or did would seem as directed to the peace and happiness of him whom she styled- her • precious husband.” As shcJkas a rare wife, so she was an affectionate and exaellent mother. Possessing >o tender a co.i stitution of spirit, and so much kindness towards her children, her government was mild, sedulously attentive to their temporal, but still more devoted in regard to their eternal welfare. Her prudence in their management was singular and rare ; so that if the reader desires to bless her family, let him beg of God that they may have those excellent things which she designed for them in her heart and asked for them in her prayers. Inkier mmse she was the life and delight of all, a comfort to her husband, a guide to her a rule to her servants, an example to all. “She lived as I fain would live, and died as I fain (would die.” “Make tho extended skies your tomb. Let stars record your worth.” THE READING FiOOH Attached to this office is open to subscribers, and strangers introduced by them, every day and eve ning (Sundayevenings excepted) until 9 o’clock.

May 30, I threw (by permission) m v blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon of an individual, who, with his wife and a small was crossing at the same time. The wife kue's of the fact, for it was to her I addressed myself. When I arrived at the landing, I came off . leavftig my cloak, which was carried off by the individuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not, told me they were moving from South Carolina to ; the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any < kind friend could give me the clue to their names, 1 oi the place to which they were travelling, so that i I may obtain my valuable cloak, he would confer i a favor upon one who at times is too forgetful for \ his own interest.

Mr. Ernenputsch, the Rector of the Academy, already favorably known to the community, has charge of the Classical department and all the branches of education requisite for admission to our best Colleges. His attainments as a scholar and success in imparting useful knowledge, emi nently qualify him for the discharge of the im portant duties of his station. Mr. Ring, the principal English Teacher, re cently engaged by the Board, comes with the high est recommenda ions as to character, talents, lite ral/ attainments and skill in teaching, and the Tro decs feel assured that he will sustain the re putation which led to his selection.

The advantage of the location of this branch of the Academy in one of the most healthful nei, ’ h orhoods in the State, and sufficiently remote from the unfavorable in fluence of a crowded town, are too well known to need comment. On the whole, the Board confidently recommend to the public Hie principal Academy and the Branch at Summerville, as being on a bettor footing than they have heretofore been, and promising great usefulness to those who may avail themselves of ihe advantages which they offer.

MOFFAT'S VEGETABLE LIFE MEuTcTn To fSAHESE medicines are indebted for their n me A to thi ir manifest and sensible action in pu.i fying the spring and channels ot life, and enduing them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun dred certified cases which has been made public, and in almost ever} species ol disease to which tHe human frame is liable, the liappv effects of MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PIIENIX BIT TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac- Inowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who wore previously unacquainted with tho beautilully philosophical principles upon which they are compounded, and upon which they consequently act. The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves in diseases ot every form and description. Their first operation is to loosen from the coals ot the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and crudities constantly settling around them; and to remove the hardened fasces which collect convolusions of the smallest intestines. Oilier medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitu al coslivencss with ell its train ofevils. or in a sud den d nrrhoea, with its eminent dangers. 'Phis tact is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex amine the human bowels after death ; and henae the prejudice of those well informed men against quack medicines—cr medicines prepared and hor laded to the public by ignorant pc rsons. Ihe se cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and ihe lungs before it passe 0 into IHe heart, being thus purified by them and nourished by food coming from a clean stom ach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation ol the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gonr, Dropsies of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump lion, Scur\}, Ulcers, Inveterate S’ores, Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas,-Common Colds and influenza, aud various other complaints which afflict the huniar; frame. In fever and ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been must eminently successful; so niuth so that in the Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni versa!ly prescribe them. All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the directions. It is not by a news paper nonce, orany thbg that he himself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the re.suL of a lair trial.

PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows: —“ Tom Tunstall was foaled mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie marc; Die sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolet. Tom Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as good a stock any horse in the United States.— He.was a racehorse oi the first order, but I tear will never be able to make a first rate race again, I owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year oid, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee.you can get a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” 'fhe same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —Highland Mary combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.— She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported horse Traveller, caHed Big Ben or Charlemaine, (son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century;) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand dam O’Possum by imported Shari:; great-great great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; gveat-great great-great-grand-dam by imported Feamaught; great-great-great-great-great-giand-dam by Lee’s old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace beyond Sir Archie.
