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. South Carolina. 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.)

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! Sav, Meu>s, 28th, til fAllll 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 ?” Brunswick ( Ga?j Herald. 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.

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 street, Boston, proprietors. Sold by their agents everywhere. 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. The above is from a widow lady, forty-six years of age, resident of this city.

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.
