The American Frigate Laden with Pro
visions, &c». for the Relief of Ireland*
[The U. S. vhip-of-war Jamestown, under the coio
mthdofCapr. Forbes laden with breadstuff's and pro
vision’ for the relief of the distressed Irish, left Boston
on the 28:h ult., and, after a splendid voyage of 15
days, arrived at Cork on Monday evening, on her
mission of mercy. She brought 8000 barrels of flour.

The Alps in their heaven-crown’d might are sublime,
And gloriously throb? the proud breast of the sea,
Whose waves should be links to unite clime to clime,
Enfolding all mankind as men ought to be:
And the lair, fearless barque, though a creature at art,
Sublime must appear to all tr te men and free,
Which wafts the life-blood to the market and mart
And whore mission is hallow’d from seaboard to lea,
And surely God’s smile must descend on the sails
Most brightly, which forego the terrors of war,
To succor the land where dire Famine prevails,
With the bounty of friend* and of regions afar.
Wh?n the decks are not arm’d for the fratricide strife,
But freighted with plenty by brotherly love;
When Death must recede from the blemings of life,
And the vulture of Moloch from Charity’s dove.
Ah! glorious the path oft at barque o’er the wave !
Columbia forgets not the old Father-land ;
Her citizens stretch forth the strong hand to save,
And the heart ofold friendship is puls’d in the hand.
From the Senate to cottage, the cry of distress,
The death-cry of Enn, with anguish was heard;
And to the god of all goodness that people must bless,
Who so nobly have follow’d his merciful word.
Albeit most welcome the life-saving boon,
Yet not here alone >h ill its influence dwell;
It will cherish tbe reeds of kind feeling, which soon
To a friendship eternal may gloriously swell.
Though a different flag may stream forth from the
mast,
The blood, tongue, and souls of the land are the
same ;
And their children will smile at the feuds of the past,
In pity, and strive for life’s genuine fame—
The fame which the olive of peace may en wreath,
The fame never sullied by widowhood’s tear,
The soul’s pure renown which for ages will breathe,
When the clay that enshrin’d it is mouldering here.
This, this is the tr.iphy, the triumph whose car
Mads the spirit* of men in the holiest eh fins ;
It beams on their souls like the Bethlehem star,
When ** Peace” swelled the anthem of angelic
strains.
Then Mess’d be the sails of the life-freighted barque,
And h ,ppy the homesteads of those who can feel
Furthe land wherein Famine and Pestilence stark
Might mike e’en to rocks a successful appeal.
The death-clouds are passing; Hope’s morning will
dawn, ,
And Plenty may speedily smile on the'plain ;
But men will remember, till life is withdrawn,
Columbia’s brave barque with her freight o’er the
main. /

The Years by Erasmus perky.
The Years roll on, the Years roll on;
And shadows now stretch o’er the lawn,
Whereon the sunlight fell at morn, —
The morn of mortal life;
And dusky hours to me have come,
Life’s landscape now looks drear and dumb,
Aad quenched the light, and ceased the num,
With which my way was rife.
1 backward on the path
Whereon I’ve walked ’mid wrong and wrath ;
I look, and ree how touch it hath
Os bitterness to tell;
But life’s hard lessens must be learned;
By goading care is wi-dom earned—
Then upward let the eye be turned,
And all earth’s scenes are well I
On roll the Years, the swift, still Years;
And as they pass, how feeling sears—
How dryeth up the fount of tears —
Emotion’s fires grow dim;
Thia pulse of life not long can last,
And as 'he Years go hurrying past,
The blooms of life are earthward cast,
And withered heart and limb.
The Years, the Years sublimely roll !
Unfurling, like a lettered scroll —
Look on ’ and garner in thy soul
The treasures of their lore;
It is Goo’s Writing there we ree;
O read, with deep intensity;
Its truth shall with thy spirit be
When year* shall roll no more.
Morality.—ls a man, whenever he was in
company where any one swore, talked loudly or
spoke evil of his neighbor, should make it n
rule to himself, either gently to reprove him. or
if that was not proper, then to leave the com
pany ns decently as he could; he would find
that this rule, like a little leaven hid in a great
quantity of meal, would spread and extend it
self through the term of his life.
If another should oblige himself to abstain oir
the Lord's day from many innocent and lawful
things, a* travelling, visiting, common conver
sation. and discoursing upon worldly matters,
as trade, news, and the like: if he should de
vote the day. besides the public worship, to
greater reading, devotion, instruction and work*
of ch. : though it may seem but a small
thing. ■ nwHou nic**xy, u» require a man to
abstain . <nn such things as may be done with
outsm. yet. whoever would try the benefit of so
little a rule, would perhaps thereby find inch a
change n ade m his spirit, and such a taste ot
p»e»y raised in his mind, as he was an entire
stranger to before.
The Emperor and the Judge.—Many mer
cbauts in Russia lamented bitterly, in my bear
ing. the iniquitous corruption of the courts of
law ; and fold ina that no cause can ever be
brought to a successful termination without a
decent and proper administration of bribes
BiujiHtice even in Russia sometimes finds out
the wicked. n< is instanced by the following
story, often told at St. Petorshurgh: A poor
worn in having an affair of much importance
under litigation in one of the courts, was given
to understand that the cause would never be
brought to a satisfactory termination without a
present to a senatorof 20.000 rubles. Horror
acrucit at this, and seeing no chance of procuring
the immense sum. and thus terminating the ex
pensive lawsuit. die one day addressed the Em
peror iu the street, and begged him to lend her
20,0JU roubles. His Majesty questioned her
as to what she could want with so large a sum.
and having heard her story, gave her the mo
ney. privately marked by himself. The poor
woman immediately made the corrupt judge
the required present. The Emperor shortly
after met the senator, and begged of him to lend
him some money ; the wretched man. without
anyUiesitation. putsome ofthe spoil of the poor
woman into his Majesty’s hand. He recogniz
ed his own money. The Senator is said to have
disappeared Russia, by R. S. Bourkt.
Geological Facts.
Some twenty or thirty feel below the level
of the plain around Richmond. Virginia, uc
ch * one ot the most remarkable deposits in
this country, or in any country. The place in
which we have found it most fully developed i<
where the small brook at the east end and on
th»« north side ot Clay-street empties into Shoc
koe Creek. On the batik of that brook will be
re«U a stratum from ten to fifteen feet thick,
which most persons would call white clav:
Ivit Prof. W. B. Roger*, nfthe University, (the
State .leologist.) has ascertained that it is made
np almost entirely of the skeletons of anhnal
ca.-a or infusoria — that is. microscopic animals.
These skeletons, consisting of silex, are incredi
bly winalf. so that a cubic inch of this infusorial
earth contains many thousand millions of them
H«>w inconceivably numerous, therefore, must
they be. to form a deposue at least ten feet thick
and extending many miles over the adjoining
country .’ It has excited great interest among
the learned naturalists of Europe as well as of

for this drposite. Professor Ehrenberg, ot
Prussia, the most eminent of living microsco
pists. has examined specimens from this place,
and discovered at least one hundred and thirty
species (1 state from recollection only J of these
minutest oi animals in them. To discover them
iu this almost iupalpable dust requires a pow

main who look at specimens with the naked

tacts by the scientific world.
The substance may be distinguished from
clay by berng much lighter when dry. It is
not heavier than magnesia, when pure. In
other parts of the world it is sometimes used for
poli»hing powder. From a slight trial. I judge
that the Richmond deposit would answer the
same purpose.
Beneath the infusorial deposit is a greenish

steamed with microscopic animalcule. whose

Grand Celebration—Reception of the Re
turned Volunteers.
Yesterday was ushered in by golden streaks
of sunshine’and barsofgloomy clouds alternate
ly. Many persons were of the opinion it would
rain; but about an hour previous to the forma
tion of the procession, the sky was as clear as the
shield ofa youthful knight—an escutcheon of
undimmed’azure. At the appointed time, the
following companies of the Ist Mississippi Regi
ment formed in Canal-street, under their re
spective commanders, viz: Company A, Lieut.
Corwin; Co. B- Lieut. Calhoun: Co. C, Capt.
Willis; Co. F, Capt. Delaye; Co. G. Capt.
McManus: Co. H. Capt. Clendenin; Co. K.
Capt. Rogers. This gullant regiment nuirfßer
ed in all about 230 men, and was under the
command of Capt. Cooper, the senior captain
of the regiment.
It was a sight to make the pulse throb and the
heart beat with redoubled vigor, to see these
gallant troops. They had thrown off the rug
ged habiliments of war, to cloth themselves in a
more civilian garb. Escorted by numerous de
tachments from other regiments, who like them
selves had been the first to meet the shock of
arms and to battle for their country, they just
ly felt proud of the compliment paid to their
valor and heroism. In those ranks were men
who had clambered up the highest steeps of
Monterey, and met, with unbending nerves
and unflinching hearts, the fierce death-storm
that raged in that devoted city. There were
men there, too, who made their bosoms the
bulwarks that breasted the bloody tide of battle
at Buena Vista. Nerved to the death, they
heard the shrill whistling of the escopetas. and
the dull, sullen roar of the caunon—saw the
silvery gleam of their swords and the flashes of
lances—and, until the words, ‘’Ready.aim —
fire, boys, and at them!” were given, they stood
like men cast in an iron mould. Then, like an
avalanche, they poured upon the foe, and scat
tered destruction amidst their ranks. Yesterday
the gallant remnant of this band, that so nobly
withstood the onset of the enemy, were amongst
their friends, their brothers, and their country
men.
Underthe direction of the chief marshal, Col.
Palfrey, the procession formed, under th« escort
of most of our military companies, many of the
gallant officersand privatesnow on their return
from the seat of war, and the civil dignitaries of
the city and State. Arriving at Lafayette
Square, a salvo of fifty guns was fired amidst
the acclamations and rejoicings of thousands of
our citizens. A raised platform had.been pre
pared for the reception of the committee, the
press, the orator of the day, and the invited
guests. Amongst them we noticed: Gov. John
son. Gen. Brooke. Col. Davis, Lt.-Col. Mc-
Clung, Cols. Echols and Drake, and a host of
others who have made their names “ a mark for
the world’s renown.” The Mayor, the Aider
men, and Recorders were present. The re
verend clergy were also there. Catholicism
leaned its arm on that of the Methodist, the Bap
tist took the hand of the Presbyterian, and the
Episcopalian casta kindly glance on the Unita
rian. It was, in fact, a perfect cordon of good
fellowship, in which all prejudices, religious
and political, were forgotten, in order to en
twine and amaranthine wreath around the brow
of valor and patriotism.
The Speech of S. S. Preutiss.
Mr. Prentiss rose and addressed the Volun
teers, who, inclose column, stood before him
in all the majesty of their native heroism of
soul, after this manner:
Volunteers! brave and victorious Volunteers, re
turned from the war! the citizens of New Orleans,
filled with admiration for your patriotic devotion to
your country, and the fortunes of its flag in a foreign
land —proud of your heroic conduct and glorious
achievements - desirous of giving expression to theii
feelings of joy, pride and affection, on the return ofa
portion ot you from the scenes of your perils and your
glones —have made me the honored organ of their
gratitude and of their admiration. In their name,
then, and on my own behalf, I bid welcome to the
Mississippi Volunteers —welcome to the war-worn
soldiers— the sympathetic heart of Louisiana warms
to you all! In the name of the city I greet you—l
embrace you.
No longer do yon tread a hostile flbil - no longer do
you gaze on a foreign sky—on the mountains of Monte
rey or tfie gorges of Buena Vista. You are now in
your own, your native land, in the midst of your
triends. You no longer need your deadly rifles for
defence, and your swords are useless, save as trophies
of your deeds of valor.
But you are still not out of peril: your friends lie
in ambush for you : prepare to receive from them a
shower of grape—not from the loud-mouthed cannon
—but from the battery of the banquet.
Citizen soldiers—Mississippi Volunteers? it is but
a year—but twelve short months —since you bivouack
ed on the battle ground below the city. You were
then on your way to sustain the flag of your country
in a foreign land, and yon seemed to have imbibed
heroic inspiration from the mighty memories which
Chalmette conjured up. Since then, you have gone
hrough the trying ordeal and the different gradations
of the soldier s life—the inarch—the camp—the bi
vouac —the battle and the victmy ! You have done
well—you have done nobly—your country looked to
you for much, but yon have exceeded its most san
guine expectations. Exposure, hunger, thirst —all
/here you suffered —for yiu suffered them for your
c attotry —without a murmur. Balls, the leaden mes
sengers of death, flew around you, but your cheek
blanched not; yvur comrades fell by your side, but
you did not falter, but pressed on conquering and to
conquer. If your flag was for a moment placed out
of its position, some gallant fellow instantly put it 8-
nght, and thus you went on, and in going on, fought
iiU the irresistible power of your combined courage
proved too much for your foe—you vanquished him.
‘Velcume, then, honored Volunteers—welcome, one
.md all, from the glories of the battle-field!
The Regulars (said Mr. P ) were the first who won
honors in thia war, as they well deserved to do; at
Palo Aho and Resaca de la Palms, they well—they
gloriously sustained the ancient revolutionary honor
inJ renown of American skill and American valor.
Then burst upon the nation and upon the world, the
valor, courage, skill, prudence, selt-reiiance, and in
domitable energy of that great captain of the age,
who, wth the destructive suddenness of the eagle
mountain-king, pounced upon and defeated his foe.
The period immediately preceding that event was
one of intense excitement to the citizens of this Re
public—ail expected that a collision with the enemy
was inevitable—all had fears for the result. Then it
was that, after a series of years of peace, the natonal
prowess was to bo tested, and it was not saying too
much to state that a suspicious hope—so to speuk—
pervaded every bosom. But the tidings of the con
test, when received, dispelled all tears, scattered to
the winds all doubts, and enabled us to repel with
pride the taunts of Europeans, that we were incom
petent to engage in a foreign war—that we were
wanting in military science and military power, ami
that our regular army, though brave, was too small to
be effective in the field, when contending with a fo
reign enemy.
Then came the storming of Monterey, that moun
tain fastness, by almost all deemed impregnable. Who
was to measure the meed of glory which was due to
those who effected that wonderful achievement? On
one side battery after battery was bravely and skilful
ly carried, but with as much regularity and precision
as a boy in a bowling alley knocks down his pins.
The attack on the ocher side devolved upon volunteers
—upon men who, for the first time, met the enemy in
deadly conflict and with clash of arms. They rushed
on, grappled them hand to hand and steel to steel till
iheir blood-red blades glistened in the sun's rays like
forked tongues of flame, while our batteries dealt
death among the enemy, as an eagle with spread pin
ions, with deadly certainly, pounces on its prey. He
need not remind those whuin he addressed that the
enemy with which they were contending were fight
ing for their altars—for their firesides—for all that can
nen e men to desperate resistance. But nothing could
withstand the fiery valor of the gallant volunteers, and
they shrunk before it. To such men—to&you volun
teers —gallant Mississippians, who thus acted, to sus
tain the honor ot your country’s flag in a foreign land,
the nation owes a debt of gratitude and she now pants
to pay it. Welcome then, thrice welcome to your
homes, you heroes of Monterey.
But not there did the evidence of vour valor cease.
A mill fiercer conflict—one which has crowned the
immortality of your glory—awaited you in the ravines
of Buena Vista. There for two days you contended
with an enemy, far your superior in numerical force,
with a desperate bravery, and what seemed to be a
superhuman tenacity. In vain did the fiery torrent
'rotis’pre®’ Imes. ’’ Von rfincKeiTnS hAr
faltered. Why. it was worth ten years of peaceful
life to witness the firmness with which you met, and
the bravery with which you repulsed this host, as they
came on to the charge. Courage such as you then
exhibited war never excelled in the Palestine wars,
so famous in song and story. Welcome then, another
welcome to you, gallant volunteers ’
But there was anoiher who claimed their admira
tion and their gratitude, both of which the nation was
spontaneously willing to give him — he meant the brave
General by whom they were there commanded, who
h.td filled the world with his fame, and who now en
joyed the unbounded love and the confidence ot twen
ty millions of people—the worth of whom the coun
try knew not till this la>t year—the events of which
developed his bravery, his coolness, his courage and
ability, and showed the nation what a treasure they
possessed m him. Why. he was worthy of Rome in
the palmiest days of her Consuls. After compliment
ing still farther Gen. Taylor. Mr. P. then passed on
to the artillery, on which arm of the service he pass
ed a warm ea login m.
Friends returned volunteers, said Mr. P., yours is
a happy destiny. You have not been playing the part
ot a mercenary, hireling soldiery. Yob went to the
field impelled by no ocher motive than a high and ho
ly sense of patriotism, and you return crowned with
honored laurels. O’, do you not present the noblest
sight tbe world ever saw. You sprung into a mighty
armed band as if br magic, when vour country called
for your aid in the held; and now, after having done
the State good service, you quietly dissolve into your
original charaeteref citizens—as the dark and gather
ing thunder-cloud, after discharging the virid light
aiagaod the loud thunder peal, melts away into bine
ether, or descends to the earth in the shape of spark
ling dew-drops, moistening the budding flower or aid
ing the growth of some plant or bioesom. Great and
happy muet be the nanon that has such citizens, and
that can command the services of such soldiers ! The
problem of the nation’s strength, he said, wasnow ful
ly solved. Ih any emergency, she could call two
millions us troops into the field, and with the know
ledge of th*s feet, now practically proclaimed to the
world, who would dare tv throw us the gauntlet ?
But our joy. alaa! he said, was cocnmingled with
mourmng; and here he paid a touching tribute to
th.-*e «h? had fallen on the battle*field or became ’.he
fteriae of feta! disease—a tribute eo naturally just
•nd eloquent, that it caused the big tears to trickle
fowu the bronzed cheek of many a pliant soldier.
He feelingly adverted to McKoe, CUy, Yell, Wat».*n
•nd others of the heroic deed, and alluded in a strain
Os deserved and eloquent cocnpliment to the pliant
Kentuckians, who be aa d. aUntped the eobrquet of
their nanre Kate whatever pert of the enemy's
country they assailed. Wherever the Kentuckians

Ground ”
he e*id. he would nc< detain them

fr ends at home looked foe their cotsung. Alrendv on

and in every arbor, the rural feast was spread, and
friends panted for their presence, that they might
share in the festivities prepared forthem; bright eyes
and smiling faces stood waiting at the homestead
doors to give them a warm and friendly greeting. He,
on the part of his fellow-citizens of New-Orleans, af
ter another welcome, bade them God-speed on their
journey.
Col. Davis’s Reply.
When Mr. Prentiss;had concluded, Col. Da
vis, assisted by a friend, advanced to the stand,
and was greeted with the most enthusiastic
cheers. The vast sea of upturned faces which
surrounded the rostrum, seemed to heave and
ebb with the tide of sincere and warm feeling,
as this wounded officer, who had borne himself
so nobly in battle for his country’s honor, arose
to answer to the loud call of his admiring coun
trymen. In a strong voice, and with a ready
and prompt manner, and great felicity of senti
ments and expression, Col. Davis replied to
the address of Mr. Prentiss.
He thanked the people of New Orleans for their
generous reception of the returned volunteers. In be
half of the MissLsippians, whom he had the honor to
represent, he would say that they would never cease
to remember with pride the kind attentions of thia
noble city—their own great metropolis—their home,
too, as they might well call it, from its vicinity to
their State After the hardships and perils they had
passed, it was delightful indeed to return to the em
brace of such friends. Coi. Davis then spoke of the
volunteers generally, and declaring that his long ser
vice in the regular army had rendered him an impar
tial judge, he would contend before lhe whole world
that a braver, sturdier or mere efficient body of sol
diers never had been in the field, than the volunteers
who had fought under Gen. Taylor. He considered
that the experiment of conducting regular military
operations by volunteers had been fully tested.
In reference to the praise bestowed by Mr Prentiss
upon Gen. Taylor, Col. Davis remarked that it met
with a warm response from every volunteer. All who
had had an opportunity of viewing his conduct and
bearing in the difficult and trying positions in which
he was placed, were deeply impressed with his calm
wisdom, his keen sagacity, his unflinching courage
and exlnustless resources. Upon this theme the
colonel dilated with much eloq lence and feeling. At
the termination of every sentence of praise of Old
Zack, the crowd broke’ in with the most tumultuous
cheering.
Col Davis next took up the allusion to the gallant
officers who had fallen in battle, and paid them a
feeling and handsome tribute. He spoke, too, of those
whore unhappy lot it had been to yield up their lives
to the fell destroyer disease, and whose death was a
far worse fate than that of three who fell on the field
of battle, amid the excitement and glory of the con
flict. After several other allusions in a similar vein,
delivered in a remarkably easy and vigorous manner,
Col. Davis concluded by thanking the ctiizenw of
New Orleans, in behalf of the volunteers, fortheir
kind and generous welcome. They would ever re
cur to it with pride and pleasure—they would regard
such testimonials doubly valuable, coming as they did
from a city famous for its chivalry, its hospitality, and
its glorious military associations.
This speech created the liveliest admiration
in the vast crowd. “He can speak as well as
fight,” was the remark we heard repeated a do
zen times, in the crowd, and a higher compli
ment could not have been framed than was
contained in this general remark.
Lieut. Col. McClung, Capt. Marshall, &c.
When the cheers which followed Col. Da
vis’s speech had subsided a call was made up
on Col. McClung, whose fine military figure,
though worn by long suffering from a horrible
wound, attracted universal attention. This
heroic officer and talented gentleman, raising by
the aid of his crutch, his tall and manly form,
addressed a few words to the crowd, expressing
his pleasure and gratitude at the attentions be
stowed upon his brothersoldiers, and thanking
them most warmly for the generous applause
with which they had been pleased to greet so
humble a soldier as himself.
There was then a call for Capt. Marshall, the
glorious and eloquent Tom Marshall, but he
had left the stand, and the assemblage was much
disappointed in not hearing from so distinguish
ed an orator.
The procession then left Lafayette Square,
and proceeded to the Place d’Armes. The
streets were so crowded with spectators that it
was almost impossible to pass. The balconies
on either side were filled with ladies, and the
side-walks with the sterner sex. When the
gates of the Place d’Armes were thrown open
for the reception of the honored guests, a shout
arose that might have been heard for miles.
They marched in steadily, and without the
slightest confusion, until they got to the tables,
when a regular Buena Vista attack was com
menced on the eatables.
The tables, which were some three hundred
feet long, were filled with everything that the
heart could wish. Fish from the lake, pigs
that looked as though they had been predestin
ed to be roasted ; chickens lying in a flood of
gravy; tongue, hf m, turkies, geese, ducks,
beef, pork, mutton and vegetables of all kinds,
formed but a small portion of the estables.—
There was a bottle nf wine at every man’s
plate, and a jorum of punch at the elbo’w of his
next door neighbor. Jocundity of spirit, and
the pleasant interchange of jovial feeling were
the order of the day.
At the head of the table we noticed Gov. John
son,with many distinguished gentlemen around
him, and when the appetite ofthe man had been
conquered, the tide of the mind commenced to
flow.
How to Deal with the Chinese.
I was one day travelling amongst the hills in
the interior of the island (Amoy,) in places
where I suppose no Englishman had ever been
before. The day was fine, and the whole of
rhe agricultural laborers were at work in the
fields. When they first saw me, they seemed
much excited, and from their gestures and lan
guage, I was almost inclined to think them
hostile. From every hill and valley they cried.
Wyloe-Fokei,” or “ Wyloe-san-pan-Fokei,”
that is, Be ofl’ to your boat, friend baton
former occasions I had always found that the
best plan was to put a bold face on the matter,
and walk in amongst them, and try to get them
into good humor. In this instance, the ylan
succeeded admirably: we were in a few minutes
excellent friends; the boys were running in all
directions gathering plants for my specimen
box, and the old men were offering me their
bamboo-pipes to smoke. As I got a little near
er to the village, however, their suspicions
seemed to return, and they evidently would
have been better pleased had I either remained
where I was. or gone back again.
This procedure did not suit my plans, and
although they tried very hard to induce me to
•wjloe’’ to my ‘* sanpan.” it was of no use.
They then pointed to the heavens, which were
very black at the time, and told me that it would
soon be a thunder-storm, but even this did not
succeed. As a last resource, when they found
that 1 was not to be turned out of my way,
some of the little ones were sent on before to
apprise the villagers of my approach, and
when I reached the village, every living thing,
down even to the dogs and pigs, were out to
have a peep at the “Fokei.” I soon put them
all. the dogs excepted [which have a great an

The Hoxorxd Dead. —The living have had
a reception such as befits the brave who have
carried the national banner in triumph dirough
a conquered country : let us now evince our
repect for those who fell beneath its folds. The
bodies of .McKee and Clay and Vaughn lie in
the public arsenal. No joyous greeting awaits
their return to the bosoms of their families.—
No sound of rejoicing, nor clamorous wel
come, norboisterous gratitude can pierce the
cold ear of death. But it is meet that those
for whom they perished in a foreign land pay
homage to their virtues by respecting their
ashes. The committee of the General Coun
cil, we understand, will meet to-day to consi
der of the proper mode of showing respect. —
We have been importuned to suggest the pro
priety of having a civic rather than a military
procession, and th it it be arranged to move by
torch light. The violence of the heat would
deter many from joining a daylight procession,
who would be glad to do honor to the memo
ries of the dead. We are persuaded that our
citizens, and strangers from every State of the
I’iiion and everv country in amity with ours,
would join in a tribute to the memory of those
whose cold and lifeless bodies bear witness to
the fidelity with whieh they served their coun
try. Should these views meet with the sanction
oi the committee, the procession could be form
ed at the Place <TArmes after nightfall and es
cort the bodies to the vessel which is to take
them hence. If we are not much mistaken this
mode would give more general satisfaction than
i mid-day pageant.— Pic. Utk iast.

Macon, June 12, 1847.
Dr. Banning.— Dear Sir—l have examined
your very valuable body Brace, and must say, I think
it well calculated to remedy to a vast extent, manyiof
the afflictions of our race, by giving that support to
displaced organs in the trunk of the human body, which
(unaided by mechanical forces) would never return
to their healthy state, however skilful the Physician
might be, in selecting from the vegetable, the mineral
ana animal kingdoms his most potent nostrums; and
applying them with all his learning, he could never in
duce these organs to their primal healthy condi
tion.
You, Sir, have invented and brought into active
operation an instrument for the relief of the human
body, in many of its calamities, which meets the appro
bation of our profession. I assure you, Sir, as a stran
ger to me, but one of the Alumina of our profession, I
wish you much success in doing good to our afflicted
race, for which 1 feel confident you are well calcula
ted in the use and application ofyour body brace.
Very Respectfully your ob’dt serv’t.
THOS. B. GORMAN, M. D.
Extract from the N. York Express.
—lt is seldom that we step out of our way to notice,
either for praise or cen-ure, the various advertised spe
cific’s of the day; and could we believe in the truth
of all the certificates which are published in favor iof
some of them, there would be no call for our praise
certainly. But from a personal knowledge of their
virtue, we are willing to record our unsolicited testi
mony in favor of Dr. Hull’s Worm Lozenges—they
being, in our opinion, an infallible remedy for that
bane of Childhood—Worms. Safe in their opera
tion, easily administered, and what to us is a great re
commendation in a medicine for children, they are
not nauseating, but actually pleasant to the taste.
We have used them in a number of cases in our fami
ly, and in each and every case with complete success;
and we take pleasure in recommending them to our
patrons and friends, not only as a cure for Worms,
but as a thorough and easily administered Cathartic
or Purgative Medicine, where such is needed, or
where Worms are suspected.
The above medicine, fresh and genuine, is for
sale by Haviland, Risley & Co., Wm. K. Kitch
en, and Thos. Barrett and all the principal Drug

Jj-Sands’ Sarsaparilla.— The following in
teresting case is presented, and the reader invited to
its careful perusal. Comment on such evidence is
unnecessary :
East Poultney, Vt., Aug. 10,
Sands—ln the Spring of 1841 I had the typhus fever,
with which I suffered the most intense pain, and when
I recovered from that, I was attacked with the spinal
complaint and inflamed sore throat. This continued
until June, 1843, when my throat and lungs ulcerated,
attended with a severe cough, and my lace was cover
ed with scrofulous sores. I cannot describe what I
suffered for five years, three of which 1 was confined
to my bed and could not sit up at ail. During this
period I received no benefit from rhe various prescrip
t.onsot different Physicians, and had nearly given up
all hopes of ever being any better. At this time, I
was induced to try your Sarsaparilla, irom the many
remarkable cures it had performed; and strange as
it may appear, the first bottle effected a sensible
change. By continuing its use. my health has so
much improved that I can now not only sit up, but
walk, and I fully believe, with the blessing of Provi
dence, it will effect a perfect cure. Yours, very tru

Lancaster, N. H., a highly respectable citizen of that
place, and Jailer of the county of Coos :
I, George W. Ingerson, of Lancaster, hereby certi
fy, that I have been troub.ed with the Asthma for
about twenty years. Last November, when I began
taking Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry, I had been
unable to do anything for several months, and had not,
except a very few nights, been able to rest in my bed.
Almost as soon as I began to take it, 1 felt relieved. I
have taken about two bottles. My health is altogeth
er improved. A few returns of the Asthma, which I
have had in that time, were almost immediately re
moved by taking the Balsam. I rest well, and my
health is, and has been for months, better than at any
time previous for many years. 1 cheerfully recom
mend this medicine to all who are similarly afflicted.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRING.
THE SUBSCRIBER takes this 001
method of announcing to the public the location of
THE WHITE SULPHUR SPRING,
(discovered in 1840,) the saluority of ths climate, its
medicinal powers, and his readiness to receive visi
tors.
This highly medicinal Spring is situated 40 miles
northwest of Athens, (the head of the Georgia Rai'.
Road,) and the Madison Springs; 46 miles north o'
the Stone Mountain, on the Georgia Ryil Road; 26
miles southwest of Clarkesville, and 6 miles east or
Gainesville, Hall county, Ga.
The climate in which the Spring is situated cannnt
be surpassed, being above the bilious region, and in
sight of the Alleghany. Here we have all the ad
vantages of the refreshing mountain breezes, and at
a distance which frees us from their dampness. Our
climate is dry and the nights deli.htful.
Four horse Post Coaches run three times a week
from Athens rta Jefferson, and from the Stone moun
tain via Lawrenceville, to Gainesville, whence a con
veyance will be furnished at all times to transport
visitors to the Spring.
As to the medicinal powers of the water, as well
as the above stated facts, I take great pleasure in re
ferring to some of our most distinguished citizens, as
many of them have tested and are satisfied of its vir
tues in Liver Disease, Dyspepsia*, Nervous Headache
and Cutaneous Diseases of all kinds.

TO THE COTTON PLANTERS OF
GEORGIA,
THE SUBSCRIBERS continue to manufac
turetheir
SUPERIOR COTTON GINS,
at their factory in Morgan county. The experience of
two years past has proven their gins to be superior to
any others made in the State —Cotton ginned upon
them bringing the highest price in all the principal
markets. We use none but the very best of materials,
and the workmanship is done in superior style, and
they are warranted to perform well in all respects.
Our gins will be delivered at the purchaser’s resi
dence. free of charge for transportation. Contracts
mav be made for our gins with Messrs. Adams &
Hopkins, M. P. Stovall, and fiustin and Walker,
Augusta, or with Walker & Pierson, Hamburg, S. C.,
where also the Gins can be seen.
Repairing done in the best manner and at short
notice.
All letters addressed to us at Madison, will meet
with prompt attention. WINSHIP & JOHNSON.
I hereby certify that 1 purchased last year, a cot
ton gin from Messrs. Winship & Johnson, and ginned
my last crop of cotton with it, and will say, that if is
the best Gin 1 have ever used, and I have never seen
a better one. 1 sold my crop of cotton in Madison,
for an eighth of a cent over the top of the market. ly
would prefer it to any Carver Gin.
CHARLES P. SHOEMAKER.
Morgan County, April 13, 1846.
1 certify that I have purchased a Cotton Gin from
Messrs. Winship, King & Johnson, and have given it
a fair trial, and 1 have no hesitation in saying that it
is the best Gin I have ever used, or seen. I have
seen several of the Carver Gins, but would give this
Gin the decided preference over them.

COTTON GINS!
IMPROVED ON WHAT WAS BEFORE
CONSIDERED PERFECT.
1HA VE heretofore labored that my cotton gins
should be thought superior to any manufactured in
Georgia. By offering to the public such an article I
have been liberally patronized, for which I feel grate
ful. 1 have warranted all my fine gins. 1 have never
had one returned as not coming up to what I promised.
It is known 1 have, and do promise that my gins make
superior cotton. 1 have no travelling agents. I rely
on my gins telling a better tale for me, and one that
will be sooner believed than a travelling agent; in
short, I hope to make my gins sell themselves. I feel
confident in slating that 1 have made valuable im
provements in my fine gins, and that I shall hereafter
furnish an improved gin to anything heretofore sold.
I would also inform citizens of Warren, Washington,
Wilkes, Columbia and Burke counties, that I have
purchased Simpson’s improvement for band machin
ery, and those who purchase my gins in the counties
named will have the use of the patent free; the ma
terial, when desired, will be put on the head block,
free of charge. It will require a small outlay of ma
terial on the band wheel, which will be furnished at
the lowest possible rate, and which, when used, re
duces the draft to an astonishing extent; the character
of the improvement is simply by propelling the ma
chinery by a slack band, instead of a tight one. My
finest Friction Roller Gins are sold at 33 per saw.
My plain gins are also greatly improved, and will
be sold according 10 kind, from $2 to 32.50 per
saw. My finest gins have heretofore sold higher than
other gins, and yet, heretofore, I have not been able to
supply the demand, whilst I have been unable to sell
but few plain gins.
Orders or letters, addressed to me at Sparta, will be
promptly attended to, and gins delivered at purchasers’
residences, free of charge.

Certificates.
Shoalcs of Ogeechee, Ga., March 17th, 1847.
G. T. Oglesby, Esq. Dear Sir:— Below I hand
my certificate, agreeably to your request, stating pre
cisely the opinion I entertain of their superiority over
any 1 have ever seen. I have also obtained the
certificate of Mr. Wilson, our Superintendent and Ma
clifcist, who is the best judge of the quality of cotton,
as he ‘chews the bag.’ Very respectfully your friend
ruly, Thos. Cheeley.
Shoals of Ogeechee, Ga., 1847. —This is to certi
fy that I have used two of Mr. G. T. Oglesby’s Anti-
Friction Cotton Gins, (the one 60 and the other 45
saws,) for several years, and can truly *ay they are
superior to any thing of the kind now in use; and form
an exception to what is said about this being an age of
improvement, at least as far as gin making is con
cerned. Thomas Cheeley.
Brothers' Factory, Shoals of Ogeechee, Ga. March
\7th, 1847.—This is to certify that one of G. T.
Oglesby’s 60 saw Anti-Friction Cotton Gins is now,
and has been in use for the last fourteen months at
this place, and I can say with confidence that it is the
best article of the kind that I have yet seen.
B. J. Wilson. Super’t and Practical Machinist.
Savannah, March 16th, 1847.—The undersigned,
during the past season, have frequently noticed the
superiority of cotton, received from those planters who
use gins manufactured by G. T. Oglesby, Esq., of
Sparta, over that from gins. It has invariably
commanded the highest price, and very frequently
one-fourth of a cent per pound more than other cot
tons of the same class. Rabun & Fulton,
J. L. Swinney.
Augusta, February 27th, 1847. —The undersigned
Factors and Commission Merchants, take pleasure in
recommending to the planters generally, G. T. Ogles
by Brother’s improved make of gins, and do not
hesitate to say that the cotton ginned on them is equal
to any received in this market, and in every instance
commands from an J to f c. above highest quotations,
and in point of durability think they cannot be sur
passed. Dye & Robertson.
Augusta, February 26th, 1847.—We take pleasure
in recommending to planters generally, Messrs. Ogles
by & Brother’s improved cotton gins, and do not hesi
tate to say the cotton ginned on them is equal to any
received in this market, and will always command
the highest, quotations. Doughty & Beall.
Adams, Hopkins & Co.
Heard & Davison.
February Ist, 1847.—This is to certify that I have
now in use one of Oglesby’s improved cotton £ins, and
that I consider it altogether superior to any gin 1 ever
used, running easy and making the cotton fine and
clear of motes. Wm. Tenell.
Sparta, February loth, 1847. —This is to certify,
that I have owned one of Mr. Oglesby’s improved
cotton gins for two years, and can safely recommend
his gins for two reasons. The first, that they do not
cut the lint or staple as other gins. The next, I con-
F'dp r them the most durable gins that I have ever
used. M. G. Harris.
February 26th, 1847. —1 have used one of the
above gins for one season, and concur fully in the
above. Benjamin T. Harris.
February 26th, 1847. —We do certify, that we
hare used for the last two years Mr. G. T. Oglesby’s
Anti-Friction Gins, and are decidedly pf the opinion
that they are the best gins now in use in this Stale,
both for the fineness of the cotton and their durability,
and take great pleasure in recommending them to our
brother-farmers generally. Richard P. Sasnett.

GRISWOLD’S
IMPROVED COTTON GINS.
fpillE SUBSCRIBER will continue the
I MANUFACTURE OF GINS on his usual
extensive scale, and embraces this opportunity to
numerous customers for their liberal patron
age heretofore.
The estimation in which his gins are held may be
known from the fact of his having sold
MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND,
during the last three years, probably ten to one over
any other Factory in the State. This evidence of the
superiority of his Gins is accounted for by his being
the first to introduce the late improvements, and keep
ing the lead, by yearly adding new ones. His first
and second improvements made »he quality of cotton
perfect, though some were rather slow. His third
made them sufficiently fast; it then only remained to
m»ke them more durable and convenient, which has
been done he believes effectually, by several new im
provements the present year
Besides, he has the exclusive right for the State, and
the privilege for other sections, to furnish
REED S PATENT WATER-BOXES,
which arc believed to be ten times more durable than
any other, by those who have made a fair trial of them,
and are infallibly secure against fire by friction. His
fine Gins will gio Mastodon Cotton as w ell as any
other saw Gm can.
His agents will visit planters generally, and exhibit
specimens of his last improvements, and point out their
advantages in time for ail to engage and be supplied
before next ginning season; or engagements can be
made by letter, directed to him, CLINTON, JONES
