Thia is following in their wake wi.h a vengeance ; and as to his doing so “as a matter of course” is a petty effort of a petty mind to raise a bad cause— Disunion—upon the ruin of an abider by the con-titutional laws of the land. 4:h.

In conclusion I will say that no fears need be entertained about Oglethorpe, for she is sure to go for the Union. Waynesboro. Nov 4th, 1850. Mr. Editor To-day Judge Berrien has struck the blow which has shattered the last rampart behind which Disunion could rally. Up to this period,Disunionists and secessionists had sheltered themselves behind the shadow of bis name,and thence hurled their anathemas against every man who had the effrontery to bear up < n his brow the (to them,) Cain-like brand of liberality; notbut that they have for some time been aware that he had abandoned the banner of Dissolution, or had never sailed un der it, but because they were ashamed to ac knowledge the extent of their error, until he publicly disavowed their sentiments, and pro claimed himself for the Union. This he has done to day, and whatever may be thought of his position in other respects, he has at least withdrawn the sanction of his name and influ ence from the use of those who hold opinions dangerous at this juncture to the peace and prosperity of the nation. Without pretending to give anything like an extended report of Judge Berrien's remarks, I shall content myself with a mere alate meat, as well as I remember them, of the principal points assumed, and leave it to the discretion of your readers to draw their own conclu sions. Upon the California question, then, the honorable Senator contended that the admis sion of that territory was violative of the con stitution, because Congress had the right to ad mit not to create new States ; and that Califor nia had been made a State by Congress, and then admitted inle the Union. His argument on thi* point was essentially the same as that Anade by him in the Senate of the United States, in a speech now fresh in the public mind. He contended that the difference of opinion existing in regard to the constitutional ity of the admission of California would never have arisen had not the question of slavery been connected with it; tint that both the Nonh and South would with one voice have condemued i: as unconstitutional. The North, he said, now acquiesced in its unconstilutiou ality because it was to her interest, in as much as by that act she had been enabled to filch a vast and productive territory from the South, and the South submitted because her citizens feared the daggers arising from the agitation of the question. But in his opinion, her ad mission was unconstitutional and detrimental to the South in the highest degree. He regarded the passage of the fugitive slave bill as nothing but an act of justice to the South; and although it might be deemed a good and efficient law, as he believed it to be, yet the South had obtained nothing more than justice by it, and the Congress of the United States was entitled to nothing more thao the lows the performance of an ordinary duly. The abolition of the slave trade in the Dis trict of Columbia was not in itself an assump tion by Congress of the power to abolish slav very in the District, but it was tantamount to such an assumption : for the penalty for the offence of trading in slaves in the prohibited limits was the liberation of the slave, which he asserted was nothing less thana practical aboli tion ot the institution. These, said Judge Berrien, were the griev ances of which he complained, and which ha thought called for redress. He was therefore for resistance, not by dissolution, not by se cession, but within the pale of the Constitution. He was of opinion (hat tne Convention about to assemble should therefore resist them: Ist By a demand upon the northern States to put down the abolition excitement as a thing dangerous to the social relations of the Union, and insulting to the South, and, 2d. By rendering Georgia independent of the free States for articles now produced in Georgia and manufactured by the North. This was to be accomplished not by non-intercourse, but by fostering Southern manufactures, by ex empting from taxation all capital employed in that Way—by taxing articles imported from free States, and by advising direct trade be tween foreign countries and Southern cities. These I believe were the principal points of a speech which required three hours for its de livery. Now I have the highest respect for Judge Berrien both as a gentleman, and a pol itician, but candor compels me to say, that 1 considered his speech to day, whether regarded as an oratorical effort, or with respect to some of its positions, as unworthy of him. His ar gument upon the constitutionality of the ad mission of California is a distinction without a difference, or its meaning lies so deep that common minds cannot grasp it, or my capacity is too limited to grapple with the more pro found meaning it involves. If, however, I though', with Judge Berrien that the admission of California was unconstitutional, if I be lieved that it was so utterly dest uctive to Southern interests, instead of the Union man that 1 am, I wou'd to morrow enroll myself xnder the banner nf dissolution, and fight fur So long as I had an arm to raise iu tie de or one remaining pulse to beat the alarum *M»ellioa!

DsFaRTMBUT OF TUB lICTBRtOIt. WasaiKOTOS, Oct. 31, 1850—Applicants for bounty land, or for information in relation thereto, are requested to address their commu nications on that subject to the Comaiissoner of Pensions direct. Their transmission through the Department proper imposes on it a very great and unnecessary amount of labor, and the additional examinations they must thereby necessarily undergo only creates delay and increases their liability to be lost or mis laid. Whenever now questions arise under the law, the decision of the Department wi’l be communicated to the Commissioner of Pen sions, and be will thereby be enabled, as he is required to Jo, promptly to acknowledge the receipt of all c innnunicatioos. and answer each inquiries as may be made. A* numerous inquiries hare been directed to those points, it may be well to state— -Ist. That where the service has been ren dered by a sadstrtate. he is the person entitled to the benefit of the law, and not his employer. lid. That the widow of a soldier who has rend, red the service required by the law is en titled to bounty land, provided she was a wi dow at the passage of the law, although she may have been mrrned a second time ; put if not a widow at that time the benefit of the act eni *es to the minor children of the deceased soldier. 3d That no person who has received or is entitled to bounty land under a prior law, is entitled to the benefit of the act of 28th Sep tember 1850 4th. That no soldier is entitled to more than one warrant under thio aet. although he may have served several terms : but where a sol dier has served several terms, ho will receive a warrant for the greatest quantity of land to which those several terms corsolidated, will entitle him.

Ke On Thursday, the 24th inst., according to i previous notice, a very large number of the voiers of Morgan, irrespective of former party distinctions, assembled at the Court-house in Madison, for the purpose of deliberating upon the great questions of the day, and to nomi . nate two candidates to represent the county in the Convention, called by his Excellency Gov. • Towns, to meet at Milledgeville the 10th Dec. next The meeting was organized by placing Col. Stxwart Floyd in the Chair, and appointing Milton G. Davis and Chas. E. Nisbet Se cretiries. After a clear and able exposition of the ob ject and importance of the meeting had been made by the chair, on motion of Col. A. Reese a committee, composed of himself. J. L Fan nin and A- S. Wingfield, was appointed to ar range the order of business, and to invite such distinguished strangers as were then in the vil lage to participate in the deliberations of the meeting. Said committee having retired, in a few min ■tes returned and announced Hon. W. C. Dawson, Hon. Howell Cobband Hon F. H. Cone. The last named gentleman having declined the committee** invitation to address the meet ing, the following order of proceedings was reported and unanimously adopted: Ist. A speech upon the questions of the day, by Hon. Wu. C. Dawson. 2d. A speech in answer to the Hon. Senator, by aay gentleman of the opposition desiring to address the people. 3d. A speech upon the same topics, by Hon. Howbll Cobb. 4'h. Special business of the meeting, to be con cluded before adjournment. The chair then introduced the Hon. WmIC. Dawson, who in a two hours’ speech, that ful ly sustained bis reputation for eloquence and statesmanship, proved beyond a doubt to every candid hearer, that the South had no just ground of complaint by reason of the recent action of Congress upon questions affecting the institution of slavery. That upon the oth er hand, the South had by said legislation vin dicated all the great constitutional principles heretofore contended for, and had even obtain ed by the late adjustment more than she had ever before claimed. The speech was receiv» ed with marked approbation, and has doubtless left a salutary impression upon the minds of the few who bad been lead into error, as th • speaker remarked, simply because they had not considered. After the conclnsion of the Hon. Senator’s address, the chair gave a cordial and pressing invitation to any and every one who differed from him in sentiment to come forward and give their reasons for the faith that was iu them. No one answering said invitation, the chair then introduced the Hon. Howell Cobb, who in a lengthy speech, worthy the high position he occupies in the councils of the nation, gave ample and sufficient reasons why the South could, without detriment to her interests or her honor, cordially acquiesce in the recent legis lation of Congress, concerning which the an ticipaed State Convention has been called.— In a word, he added to the argument made by the Hon. Senator who preceded him, until the conviction produced upon the minds of the hearers by the first ipeaker, was confirmed be yond the possibility of doubt or change, in deed, he “piled Pelion upon Ossa,” and his adversaries sunk under the weight of argu ment urged against the folly of resistance—the madness, the treason of Disunion. After the speeches referred to had been con cluded, and Messrs. Cobband Dawson had re tired, the following resolution was offered by Col. A. Reese, and unanimously adopted : Resolved, That our grateful acknowledgements are respectfully tendered to Hon. Wm. C. Dawson and Hon. Howbll Cobb, for the able, instructive and eloquent addresses by them this day delivered. A. 8. Wingfield, then offered the fol lowing preamble and resolutions which jwere adopted without one dissenting voice: Whereas bis Excellency Gov. Towns, obeying an act of the last Georgia Legislature, has called upon the people, through their chosen delegates, to convene at Milledgeville on the 10th day of December next, to take into consideration the recent legislation by the American Congress upon divers questions in volving the institution at slavery : And whereas we see no sufficient reason why we, as patriots and Southern men, should not acquiesce in said national legislation ; nor why the said anticipated Convention shoo'd do anything calculated to place tlie State of Georgia in hostile opposition to the General Govern ment : Be it therefore Required. That the Chair appoint a committee of thirteen to present to this meeting the names nf two suitable candidates to represent the county of Morgan in Mid Convention. Resolved, That eaid candidates, upon their ac ceptance of such nomination, be and are hereby in structed, in the event of their election, to oppose every measure which may be proposed in said Convention, and which may tend, direcily or indirectly, to Ihe dissolution of the American Union by reason of any pre«ent existing cause. The chair appointed A. 8. Wingfield. Elias AUisnn. E. E Junes, Thomas C Harris, M W. Warren, T. J. Durden, W. Perkins. T. P Saffuld, Robt. Harris. T. F. Gitby, W. O Bas fold, P. Shoiiie, M. Davis. The committee appointed under said resolu tion retired, and in a few minutes returned, and to the great and entire satisfaction of the meeting announced the names of A. Reesk and I»mam S. Fannin, E-qrs. as candidates to represent the county in the appmMhing Con vention—good men and true, who will stand by the Union until belter reasons for it than now exist shall call for dissolution. Said nomination having been confirmed, Mr. Thomas Baldwin then introducedand the meet ing adopted the following resolution : That (he be published in the Chronicle &. Sennet, Journal f- Messenger, aod that all/rue Union papers be requested to copy. Upon motion of A. S. Wingfield the mee» ing the* adjourned sine die. STEWART FLOYD, Ch’n. Milton Davis > C«u.

A very large number of persons, white and colored, were present.— The coflin was placed in the plain over-shaped tomb uka I here. On Saturday evening. C. Roselius, Esq*, for fiflean years the legal adviser of the deceased, appeared before Judge Buchanan, of tie Fifth District Court, and informed him that Mr. Me Donogh had left an olographic will, which was deposited either in the Louisiana Stale Bank, the Bank of Lonisiana, or the Union 3ank.— An order of court was issued in consequence, for any of the cashiers of said banks o bring the will into the Fifth District Court this morn ing at 10 o'clock. Accordingly, at the above hour the Cashier of the Union Bank, Mr. Frey, appeared hav ing a tin box containing a duplicate copy of the will, with a portfolio containing memo randa for executors,notes, *.Vc. Another copy of the will is in the possession of Mr. Joseph .Montgomery of this State. The courtroom crowded. Mr. Roselius presented the will, which was proved by Messrs. Grymea, Frey and Grivot. The will is of twenty-four foolscap pages, closely written in the testator's own handwriting.

A Large Steamer Burnt— Much anxiety has been evinced in the city during the last few days respecting the loss of a first class steam ®' l, P in the Atlantic, which is reported to have been totally destroyed by fire. The following de tails were furnished by Mr. Barras, captain ol the William, from Quebec, who communicated the loss to the authorities at Lloyds. The Wil liam left Great Malis, in the Gulf of St. Law rence, on the 4th ult., and on the evening ol the 12th. a large steamer with three masts, was observed iu lat. 46 deg. 14m. N., lon 5b deg. 27m. W., steering to the Northwest. Ihe mention of this circumstance is the more ne cessary, in order that this ship might not he confounded with the one that was subsequently seen on fire, as she was proceeding in quite a d fljrent direction. Toward dusk on the fol lowing day a strong lurid glare was noticed about fifteen miles to tne Southward of their course, and Mr. Barra*, concluding that it was caused by some unfortunate ship in flames, very promptly bore down toward her, with a view of picking up the crew. He directed a good look-out to be kept, it being thought that those on board had left in the boats, and wers knocking about in the ocean. During the period the William was making for the blazing ship, the wind blowing from the N. E , the flames raged with terrific violence, and to use an expresion of one ol the crew, “It looked more like a mountain of fire than a ship in flames.” The scene is described to have been one of awful gran deur, both ocean and sky being illun iuated as far as the eye could reach. In the course of two or three hours the William got within a quarter of a mile of the flaming wreck She was enveloped in flames from stein to stern, and from her light build and a quantity of iron work, it was apparent that she was a steamer, and that of a large class. She was burned within a foot of the water’s edge. Mr. Bar ras states that he saw the platform between the paddle boxes, the iron stancheons, and the davits for the stern boats, a rig only adopted by steamers. They had a full view of the deck of the ves sel, and nothing could be seen of the crew or the passengers. It being supposed that they had taken to the boats and had been picked up by one of the many vessels that take the track at this period of the year, the W’iliiam, after continuing in the vicinity ofthe wreck, was held to her course on the wind, a light being kept up, and a good look out in all directions. A sail was observed in the South steering N. W., and it was thought she might have succeeded in genlpg those belonging to tlio steamer on board. At day break hands wore sent up to look round on all points for the boats, but none were to be seen. A craft was noticed in the NE steering W., but nothing else. Barras can give no opinion as to where the unfortunate vessel was from, or where she was bound, but he is confident she was a steamer. The spot of her destruction was about four days’ run from Halifax, but not being in the usual course to that port, will account for the American mail not bringing ti dings of the conflagration. It is the impression of those belonging to the William, that the crew and passengers had escaped. When they got down to hershehad apparently beenburning six or eighthoars, and as the weather had been very fair, the moon being up, they concluded that all had got away in the boats, and had been picked up.— Daily News, Oct. 14. From the N O. Picayune. From Texas. By the arrival yesterday of the steamship Galveston we have received papers from Brownsville of the 23d and Galveston of the 25th inst.

A private letter, dated the 12'h inst., from Corpus Christi, states that a general Indian war on the frontier is expected. In the recent capture of two German girls by the Indians, it was the oldest that made her escape. She was to have been married a few days after the affair. A small party of Indians visited the neigh borhood of San zlntonio, on the 10th inst , and stole twelve head of horses and mules, from farms on the Cirolo. They were pursued, but, as usual, not overtaken. The Harrison county delegation in the State Legislature have resigned their seats. We take the following from the Brownsville Sentinel of the 23d iost : We are informed that 001. Portillo, with a command of two hundred men, left Matamoros, a few days since for the interior of Mexico We know not upon what errand. It is rumored in Matamoros that the wise acres of that place intend resorting to a little ruse upon the Government, for the purpose of “raising the wind” temporarily. The plan that is designed is too good to be lost, and we should be branded as a faithless sentinel did we not cry the alarm. The cusa is this: The commandant of the military forces, like Brutus of yore, has run short of the sinews of war, a« d ha® the wherewith to pay his “ grim viaaged” warriors. To remedy this it is con leu plated to throw the port of Matamoros open for the reception of all kinds of merchandise; after which the Government will be informed of the fact, and before answer can be returned, either in favor or against the operat[on r _suffi cient money will have been rai«f6<Tlo meet the •rule desired The Rio Grande is said to be remarkably low al present.

The Compound Railroad Iron. —We pub lished a notice on Thursday of the specimen of a continuous [?] railroad iron which is now on exhibition at (he Mechanics’ Fair. It was manufactured at the Mount Savage Iron Com eany’s Works, in Alleghany county, for whom fessrs. E. Pratt and Brothers, of Baltimore, are agents. It is a decided improvement on the usual rail, and is fast coming into general use. The Mount Savage Iron Works are, we un derstand, now engaged on a contract for one thousand tons ordered by the Utica and Sche nactady Railroad, in New York, which they ordered after a trial of twelve months of the rail on a short distance on their roaJ, which they laid to test it. It makes a continuous rail by breaking the joints, [?] and hence it is not liable to the great difficulty that attends the common T rail and other patterns, which give way where ihe two rails join. It also allows a greater speed over the road with equal safety and more esse, and with les* wear and tear to the cars— Bill. Patriot.

The Weather.—During the last few days the weather has been, in comparison with what preceded it, of quite a wintry description.

With all the lines of Liverpool packets and steamer* from New York, there still appears to be room for more. The Cunard line of propellers will commence their trips early in the Spring, and we see it stated in the New York papers that money is being raised by merchants of that city, with a view to the es tablishment of a line of American steum pro pellers between that port and Liverpool.

John Baker. Upon h -r deck is an iron propeller steamboat. 40 feet long, built by Messrs Reany. Neafie &, Co., for. Messr*. English Ulm, with another somewhat smaller, which is nearly ready for shipment on board the ship George Brown. They are furnished with two propellers each, for the navigation of shallow rivers. Nearly 30 slaves go out in the Commodore Stcckton, the property of her owners, and other South ern gentlemen, for the purpose of working in the mines. The most of them have been liv ing in the city for the last three months, and employed in fitting out the vessel.—Philadel phia Bulletin. A line of steam ships between Philadelphia, New Orleans, Havana and Key West, has been projected by Ambrose W. Thompson, Esq., of this city, and the keel of the first steamer will be laid in Kensington shortly by Mr. Cramp The steamers are to be 1200 tons burthen.— lbid, Steamers for Havana and New Orleans. —We have been informed, and announced that information with gteat pleasure, (says the Philadelphia Bulletin of Monday last.) that our enterprising citizen, Ambrose W. Thom son, Esq., has made arrangements to put on a line of steamships of 1200 tons burthen be tween thle cityjuid New Odaana, touching at Havana and Key West. The ships will be per fectly adapted to the trade, having speed, car ryingcapacity. and handsome passenger accom modations. Mr. Cramp, of Kensington, is to lay the keel of the first steamer, as soon as the "Albatross” (the new Charleston steamer) is launched. Improvement in S earn Engines — A trial has been made at Charleroi of a newly invented engine, the motive power of which operates in a completely different manner fromthatnow in use. The inventor, M. Hector de Callais, a Sardinian engineer, proposes by his plan to increase the speed of locomotives, to give them an adherence four times greater than they now have, and to decrease the expense of fuel. The new machine, which is called after King Charles Albert, promises to realize all the calculations of the inventor. By the pressure of only one atmosphere the wheels made 300 revolutions in a minu e. The Bel gian Minister of Public Works has appointed a committee of engineers to report to him on the experiments which are to take place on the Government lines, and has ordered every as sistance to be given to the inventor to facilitate his object.— Galignani National Vessel for the World's Fair.— The President of the United States has authorized the Secretary of the Navy ro place a national vessel at the disposal of the Executive Com mittee having charge of the transmission of articles from this country to the Grand Indus trial Exhibition to be held next Spring in Lon don. This will afford facilities to competitors of which, we doubt not, many will promptly avail themselves. As the time approaches for the holding of the Grand Exhibition, the in'erest which it causes receives almost daily a lively enhance ment. The first of the kind ever projected upon so large a scale, it has the attraction of novelty ns well as that which arises from the solicitude felt in it and in its results through out the vast range of nations, communities, and individuals, who are in some way concern ed io it.— Balt. Amer. A Miscreant. —The N. Orleans Bulletin says: The train of cars which left Augusta on the afternoon of the 20th inst. with the great Southern mail, and from 150 to 200 passengers, ran off the track about 3 o’clock the next morning, about five miles to the eastward of Madison. On examination it was found that some preciousscoandrei or scoundrels had removed one of the heavy T rails, which was found on the track, end the bolls and bars which secured it close oy. The locomotive ran over the vacant place «u the upper sleeper, and fortunately regained the track. The tender was thrown off, as was the following car, with the mail bagsand bagrage; the next car, with about 60 male passengers, also bounced uver the wooden sleeper and re gained the track with a severe concussion, but the car next following, containing 70 passen gers. among them many ladies and children, was thrown entirely off. and on the embankment so as to be almost on an equipoise, and had net the coupling fortunately broke, would no doubt have been hauled over and ever down the bank, with great loss of life, as the miscreants had .elected of a punishment too severe for such a* act — hanging wou’d be quite too good, and burning alive not more than such a wretch deserved. An appropriate punishment wonld be to tie him, hands and feet, and place him on the track, for the locomotive and train to pass over and crush his recreant carcass out of the form of humaity. The conductor acted with great promptness and judgment on the occasion, and laving soon got the tender on the road, he star tad •ff with it and the engine for Madison, from whence he brought three covered burdrn cars, into which the passengers’s baggsge and mails were promptly placed and cenv eyed to Atalanta, 75 miles, which distance was perform ed in less than three hours, arriving only i«alf an hour after the usual time, though the actual detention at the place of the accident was near ly three hours. The ladies and children were, during this ride, seated on the trunks and bags, but the gentlemen had only standing room. We cheerfully embrace the occasion tn say a word in favor of the ene’gy and spirit es ac commodation , with which the Georgia Railroad is conducted, and which contrasts very favora bly with the management of some of the other roads on the great line of Northern and South ern travel, and particularly those in Virginia, where the accommodation of the public seems to be but a secondary consideration. A Mile a Minvte.—The Utica Gazette says that the express train on the Utica and Syra cuse railroad, with the engine “ Lightning” for its motive power, recently made 13$ miles in 14 minutes, and that one day last week the same train came through from Syracuse to Utica, 53 miles, including 3 stops, iu 1 hour and 30 minutes. The Secretary of the Treasury has consented to the use of vessels in the Revenue Service of the United States for the transportation of articles of American production from the va rious ports along the Atlantic Coast to such point as shall be selected for the departure of the ship appropriated to convey them to the London Exhibition, wherever it can be done without detriment to the public service. Grkat Age.—-We have been informed by the Assistant Marshal of Overton county that in his tour to take the census, he found an old lady named Stevens, whose age was one hun dred and lutenty years! She was reported to him as a married woman at the time of Brad dock's defeat. Her youngest sen, a smart lad of seventy, gave our informant ibe story Un til a year or so past she bad been comparative ly active.— Nashrille Whig. Large Failure at Willimantic. —We re gret to state the occurrence in Willimantic of a heavy failure on the part of a large manu facturing establishment, forced onder the pres sure of the present ruinous tariff to succumb. We are sorry to hear also that this failure falls Iwavily upon some of our wholesale houses in Norwich. But heavily as it falls upon them, it undoubtedly falls more heavily still upon Willimantic.— Norwich Courier, Oct. 31. The census taker of the Second Ward in New York states that there are now living in that Ward two very remarkable females. ftnfl, iM^PMlW%'ltWtffiJo&irb?"%n'e'''ieimg sbe has never used spectacles, and her sighF is as perfect as it was in her youngest days.

The invention to which we refer, has been mode and patented by our ingenious fellow-citizen Mr. Nelson Goodyear, and may be briefly described as fol lows :— N. Y. Express. On the roof of the car a number of ventila tors are arranged, so as to allow the air to pass freely into the car when it is in motion. The mouths of these ventilators are covered with a line wire cloth, through which the air circu lates freely, but which effectually stops all cin ders and other dirt. In each window of the car is placed a sash of blinds, constructed of plates of glass four inches wide. These blind* are so arranged that they are all moved by a connecting rod, in the same manner as ordina ry window slats are opened or shut The air, coming through the ventilators, passes with a gentle current out of the blinds, or “car dust ers,” ns they are called, they outward current thus formed effectually preventing the en trance of a particle of dust into the car, and the outside current, formed by the motion of the car, carrying the dust to the rear. This is the wholejoperation. The advantages affored by the use of this mention are manifold, though we can men tion but a few of them here. In the first place, it disposes of the dust, a roost intolerable nui sance in railroad cars ; secondly, the frames being permanent, it prevents the passengers from putting their heads and arms out of the windows, thus lessening the chances of acci dent ; third, the sash being filled with plates of glass, the view is not at all obstructed ; 4th, the blinds are shut or opened by means of the con necting rod ; sih, there is a great saving of expense to the railroad corporations, as it does away with the necessity forthe ponderous sprinkling machines ; 6th, independent of re pelling the dust, it is a delightful mode of ven tilating the cars ; 7th, the dusters, by stifling the noise caused by the motion of the cars, render conversation much easier and more agreeable than at present. Mr. Goodyear has attached these dusters to one of the Hudson River Railroad cars, in which we took a trip to Peekskill yesterday, and which astonished us at the difference they cause in the comfort of the passengers. We are convinced that, as soon as the invention becomes generally known, it will be consider ed indespeosable on all our railroads. Such also, we learn, is the opinion of many practical men, and all others who have witnessed the working of the dusters. Mr. Goodyear, we learn, has taken measures to secure patents here and in Europe, and we hope he may reap a rich reward for his ingenuity. A new invention, by a Mr. Jordan of Liver pool, by which he proposes to substitute iron for the wooden framing of vessels, is attract ing a good deal of attention in that town. The inventor has taken out an American pa tent. It is stated that the Government has in contemplation the construction of a powerful squadron of steamers for the African coast, with a view of employing them to carry a monthly mail, and to act upon the slave pre ventive service. It is proposed that the fleet shall consist of forty vessels, and that one shall be detached from the station along the coast, monthly, to come home and return with the mails, thus establishing a regular monthly com munisation with the African coast, and effectu ally crushing the slave traffic. fjfThe Original and only Genuine WISTARS BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY, was introduced in the year 1838, and has been well tested in all the complaints for which it is recom mended. For ten years it has proved more effica cious as a remedy lor coughs, colds, influenza, bron chitis, asthma ant consumption, in its incipient sta ges, than any other medicine. What time establishes and consecrates what expe rience adopts and confirms, what aU men in all places unite in saying is good and valuable, is so, no doubt. A popularity of this sort fixes in society its roots co deep and so strong, that time cannot destr y it. The sxccess which has attended thia medicine for several years past, has overcome the prejudices of ail respectable men, add the article has taken a stand among the first class of discoveries and bl s sings of the age; and when resorted to in season, erakicates the disease fir which it is recommended. f From the Boston Evening Traveller.] It is perhaps but an act of justice to the proprietors of Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry, for ua to say that our personal experience in the use of this article has impressed us most favorably. One of the pro prietors of the Traveller was entirely cured of a se vere cough es four months continuance, by the use of this Balsam ; and several of our friends and ac quaintance, who have tried the article, have found it of great service in relieving them of severe coughs and shortness of breathing, with which they bad been afflicted If gennine, signed I.

I accord ogly did so, and put myself under his treatment, and in one month from the time he commenced, I was entirely cured of my disease.
