CHRONICLE & SENTINEL. POETRY AND MISCELL ANY. From the Illustrated London News. 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. This is a free contribution from the States ] 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. / From Headley's Parlor Magazine. 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.

From the N. O. Delta 1 1th inst. 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 bright, h m-gh: well thereafter be called the “ Bloody Ground ” he e*id. he would nc< detain them the aanifeseanon of and soc ial friendship w fitch xwaited them. He knew hew anxkuriy their fr ends at home looked foe their cotsung. Alrendv on erara hdl baraod the fire of ««U»e . U eraty*4att 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 tipathy to foreigners] in the best possible hu mor. au* { at last they seemed in no hurry to get rid of me. One of the most respectable amongst them, seemingly the head man of the village, brought me some cakes and tea. which he po litely offered me. I thanked him and began to eat. The hundreds who now surrounded me were perfectly delighted. “He eats and drinks like ourselves,” said one; “ Look, said two or three behind me, who had been examining the back part of my head rather attentively, “look here, the stranger ha* no tailand then the whole crowd, women and children included, had to come round me. to see if it was really a fact, that 1 had no tail. One of them, rather a dandv in his way, with a noble tail of his own. plaited with silk, now came forward, and taking off a kind of cloth, which the natives here wear as a turban, and allowing his tai! to fall g ace fully over his shoulders, said to me. in the most it was very fine, anff promised.

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.

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 gists in Augusta; A. A. Cleveland, Washington, G. F. Platt, Lexington ; and by Agents in all parts of Georgia and the Carolinas. Jelß-w2 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.

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. Geo. W. Ingerson.

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.

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.

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. GARRETT T. OGLESBY & BROTHER. Sparta, April 3. Certificates.

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.

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 COUNTY GEORGIA uiu» ue um. uie purcnascT's residence in any part of the State except the Cherokee Conn ies, where they will be left at the Rail Road Dejiot most convenient to the purchaser.
