The Evils of Ingratitude.
The Rev. Orville Dewey, a distinguish
ed northern Divine and man of letters,
has on two different occasions visited
the South, and in Charleston, Savannah
and perhaps some other southern cities
delivered a series of lectures which were
patronized by highly intelligent and
appreciative audiences. He returned to
the North and in an address to a certain
“ Elm Tree Association,” abused the hos
pitality and kindness of the southern
people by misrepresenting their institu
tions and pandering to the abolition
fanaticism of his people.
A correspondent of the Charleston
Courier, triumphantly criticises his logic,
exposes his errors and lectures him upon
the evil consequences that are likely to
result from his ingratitude. He says :
It reminds us ot the Eastern story of
Abu Kaled and his horse. “ The Emir
Kaled was wealthy and charitable.—
Among his riches was a horse which he
valued above them all. The steed was
the fleetest and most enduring in Arabia.
A neighboring chief envied the Emir and
wished to lay hands on his property. —
In vain the chief used every art of per
suasion and offer of value. Abu Kaled
was deaf to every thing. One day as
he was riding his favorite horse in the
desert, he saw a man lying on the
ground, writhing and groaning and ut
tering cries and supplications for aid.—
The Emir dismounted and hastened to
help the afflicted stranger. At the mo
ment, the chief, for it was he, sprang from
the ground, leapt into the saddle and
galloped off on his prize. The Emir,
waking from his surprise, called out to
the flying robber to pause for an instant:
“ Mv friend,” said the Emir, “ you have
gained your end, but I pray J'ou, never
tell any one in what way you have suc
ceeded. It may prevent travelers here
after from doing deeds of charity by the
way side.” The story adds that the plun
derer repented, restored the horse, and
the parties became good friends ever
after. You would rob us of property
and good t ante ; whether the attendant
circumstances are not similar, and
whether the last act of the repentant
robber be not worthy of imitation, it is
for you to decide.

Colcjibia, Nov. 4. —The Legislature
met to-day and made choice of the fol
lowing Electoral ticket: F. W. Pickens,
John L. Manning, John A.lnglis, John
L. Newel, W. A. Owens, B. T. Watts,
T. J. Pickens and James Chesnut.
A resolution was passed unanimously
that it is the sense of a General Assem
bly that the Electors should vote for Bu
chanan and Breckinridge.
J3T In this mammon-worshiping
age, it is rare to find a man place his
usefulness to the public, before his inter
est. During a late visit to the ‘City of
Spindles,’ we were presented by a profes
sional friend, to the celebrated Chemist,
Dr J. C. Ayer, whose name is now per
haps more familiar than any other, at the
bedside of sickness, in this country.
Knowing the unprecedented populaiity
of his medicines, aud the immense sale of
them, we had expected to find him a
millionaire, and rolling in wealth. But
no, we found him in his laboratory, busy
with his laborers, among his crucibles,
alembics, and retorts —giving bis best
personal care to the compounds, on the
virtues of which thousands hang for
health. We learned, that notwithstan
ding his vast business, and its prompt re
turns in cash, the Doctor is not rich.
The reason assigned is, that the material
is costly, and he persists in making his
preparations so expensively, that the nett
profit is small.— American Farmer, Phil.
A Fortune fob Albert Pike.—The
Memphis Eagle of the lltli has the fol
lowing :
“It is said that Capt. Albert Pike, of
Arkansas, recently gained a suit at law
for which he gets the comfortable fee
of $160,000. The ease was an Indian
claim to the value of 320,000, which he
has been prosecuting for several years,
upon an agreement that if he gained the
suit he would bo entitled to one half; if
not, nothing. The suit was lately decided
by the United States Supreme Court at
Washington in favor of his clients. ’
Not Much of a Traveler. —The
Newbury port (Mass.) Mercury, iu an
nouncing the death of Henry Barber,
who worked in that office for sixty five
years, states that Mr. B. was seventy-six
years old, audduring his life was never five
miles from home, and never saw a rail
road or steamboat, except from the win
dows of the office in which be worked.
Students in Colleges.—The number
of students iu the three first colleges in
thecountryisin Harvard 697; Yale, 604;
in the University of Virginia, 540. In
the latter, there is an increase of 80 over
the number of last year. At Yale there
are 57 students from Southern States!

Hus tliQ Bottom Fallen Out.
It is an old saying that straws show
which way the wind blows. In illustra
tion of this the following circumstance
will perhaps with many, go further than
actual sounding to convince them of the
great depth of water in the harbor of
Brunswick. Not long since a brig roun
ded to opposite our office, and let go her
anchor. We could long hear distinctly
the rattling of the chain, and at last in a
tone of surprise, the exclamation of the
Captain—“ Hallow there pilot, has the
bottom dropped out of this harbor ?”

Sheridan Knowles, the Dramatic au
thor, now a Baptist clergyman, has been
criticised for continuing to receive a pen
sion from the government as a dramatic
writer, while he is weekly denouncing
play-houses as domi diabola. A writer,
in the London Star defends him on the
ground that there is a substantial differ
ence between a player and writer of
plays.
Locomotives.—lt is stated that at the
commencement of the present year there
were in the Uuited States about twenty
two thousand miles of railroad, employ
ing about five thousand locomotives. It
is estimated that the locomotives con
sume between four and five million cords
of wood annually, the product of at least
one hundred thousand acres of woodland.
Presbyterian Missions.—The re
ceipts of the Boards of the Presbyterian
Church (Old School) for September, are
reported as follows : Domestic missions,
$4,070.24 ; education, $1,562.25; for

Another Great Cure of Dyspepsiu.
Astonishing Success of the Oxygenated Bitters.
New Haven, Nov. 28, 1851.
Gentlemen : I feel that no sense of pride or del
icacy should deter me from expressing publicly
my gratitude for the efficacy of your Oxygenated
Bitters , in restoring me to health, after suffering
more than six years from Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, during w hich time 1 had the best me
dical advice, w ith no benefit except temporary
relief.
My case became more hopeless, from an attack
of diarrhoea, which confined me to my bed for
eight weeks, causing great prostration of the
whole system.
About two months ago, 1 was so much reduced
that I could cat scarcely any food whatever, and
wus obliged to take my bed, in despair of ever
getting any better. 1 read some of the certifi
cates of remarkable cures by the Oxygenated Bit
ters, and obtained a bottle of the medicine. How
ever surprising, it is nevertheless true, that I was
almost immediately relieved of every symptom of
my various complaints.
I am uow in better health than I have enjoyed
for many years, and attribute my restoration, by
the gruce of God, to your invaluable medicine.
Respectfully yours, MARY E. HANOVER.
SETH W.FOWLE A CO., 138 Washington

To the Afflicted.
I deem it a duty I owe to society, espe
cially to the afflicted, to offer ihis testimonial in
favor of that estimable medicine, “ Pebuy Davis’
Pain Killer.” When passing through Galena,
some two weeks ago, I purchased at your agency
a25 cent bottle. I was then suffering from a
severely bruised hand; 1 applied it in the store,
and was astonished at the almost instantaneous
relief. Before I left the store the inflammation
was removed, and in less than an hour the pain
censed. In two days my hand was as well as ever.
Finding it to be really a remedy, I determined to
try its effects as a curative for the piles, to which I
have been a martyr for years. After five dress
ings, my piles were among the things that had
been; lam now entirely free from them, and in as
good health ns ever 1 was in my life. 1 have rec.
ommended the Pain Killer to others, and always
with good effect. Several of the captains of the
upper river boats carry with them a co/fetant sup
ply, and consider it oue of the most vuluable med
icines ever discovered.
I am, dear sir, respectfully yours,
JOSEPH 6. MARTIN.
A MOST EXTRAORDINARY CURE EFFECTED BY
Dr. M’Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge,
Prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburg.
New York, March 19, 1852.
This is to certify that I have been
troubled for almost four years with a choking
sensation, sometimes so bad as almost to suffo
cate me; I employed two regular physicians, but
to no purpose. I was then persuaded to try a
bottle of Dr. M’Lane’s Celebrated Vermifuge, pre*
pared by Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh. I took two
tcaspoonsful at one dose. It soon began to ope.
rate, when it made thorough work. (I had/i reg
ular worm factory within me.) I should judge it
brought away from me some two quarts of worms,
they had the appearance of having bursted. I
took the remainder of the bottle at two doses.
The effect was, it brought away about one quart
more, all chopped to pieces. I uow feel like a
different person.

WEISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY.
IT is customary now-a-days for the proprietors
and propeller* of patent medicines to array be
fore the public eye in the most glowing colors,
accounts of miraculous cures, and at the same
time complain of the poverty of the English lan
guage as being inadequate to convey ideas that
would do just ce to their medical preparations.
Now, the Proprietor of the above named prepara
tion don’t intend to pursue any such course, but
will be content to say, candidly, to the people,
what his preparation has done und will do. The
DYSPEPTIC REMEDY needs no such propping
up by any such cunningly devised fables, which are
all ‘ stuff’ and ‘gammon.’ All the Proprietor in
tends saying is, what diseases it will cure—how
it will cure —and why it will cure. He will not
advise its us? in any single disease without giving
good and substantial and philosophical reasons, if
the reasons don’t appear at the time he advises its
use for anv particular disease, they will soon af
ter. BLIPS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY is the on
ly reliable preparation now before the people for
all diseases of the Stomach, and those other dis
eases that have their origin in disease of that or
gan. It has again and again cured when all oth
er preparations have failed. Its merits have been
discussed by Physicians in council, ft has often
been pre-judged and thrown aside by physicians
and consigned to the tomb of quack humbugs,
and afterwards restored to a more congenial clime
on terra firma, to be administered to their worn
out and exhausted patients, and with the most
perfect success. It has been tested und recom
mended by the most eminent physicians of the
country, and one and all who have thoroughly
tested it in good faith, are unanimous in its
praise. It will cure the worst forms of
DYSPEPSIA,
“ LIVER DISEASE
CONSTIPATION,
und a great many other diseases having their
origin in disease of the stomach.
For the above mentioned disease, it is a sover
eign remedy and will not fail in effecting a cure
if thep. ti:nt is not too penurious to persevere in
the taking of the Remedy. If one package don’t
cure you, try another, and another, and still an
other, and keep on doing so, and rest assured it
will not fail in accomplishing all that is promised.
It is impossible to state the exact number of
packages that will be required to effect a cure,
but take it, and keep on taking it, and it will do
the work—this you may rest assured ; and an
other thing you may also rest assured of, that
you cannot take it long without seeing and feel
ing that it has already begun to benefit you;
and if so, continue, persevere in the taking of it,
take it regularly, and follow out all the direc
tions.
The REMEDY is for sale in Madison, by BEN
JAMIN G. LIDDON, who will send it by mail
to any address on receipt of $2 price of the med
