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withdrawn the sanction of his name and influ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

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. Aibx. H. H. Btc»rt,

Old Morgan O. 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»

I Dreadful Conflagration at Sea. 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.

It is rumored in Matamoros that the wise

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,

The Compound Railroad Iron. —We pub

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.

A horrible accident happened at Columbia,
Missouri, on the sth inst. A large brick store
was almost entirely blown to pieces by the ac-
WWWfirWa'otf trie tfh'b’F' T 8r J tKe
purpose of being removed; some powder had
leaked out, which became ignited by the acci
dental falling of a spark from the cigar of a
young man who had jus: entered the store.
He was instantly killed, and his body shock
ingly mangled. Two other persons were also
killed and fourteen wounded, many of them
seriously.— Natchez Courier.
The Weather.—During the last few days
the weather has been, in comparison with
what preceded it, of quite a wintry description.
On Sunday morning ice was formed in a trough
on the plantation of a friend of ours in the
neighborhood of Carrolltou. Had ihe atmos
phere been damp we shou'd no doubt have had
a heavy frost. As it was. it was only what is
called a •* dry freeze.” which will do no da
mage to the cane crop. Last night we had a
frost all around the city. At morning and
evening fires feel very comfortable, but ihe sun
at noon is still quite warm. Coal merchants
rub their hands m glee, and clothing merchants
look busy and cheerful.— Pic. ult.
A Word of Caution.—A fire-eater upon
being a»ked in this city, yesterday, to define bis
principles.said that he was opposed to making
any issue before the people; but if they could
gel a majority in the Convention he knew
very well what would be done!
Another of the same kidney, upon being
asked a few days since at Gordon, by one
whom lie mistook for a brother fire-eater, how
be came on dissolving the Union, replied—
‘•ah, we do not say disunion here now. We
go for the election first, and for the disunion
afterwards.”
These two cases give a perfect illustration
of the present position of the disanionists.
They are now professing to be friends of the
Union—opposed Io secession; they go ft.r the
election first, and for disunion afterwards ”
Let the honest voters be on their guard, and
vole for no man who ever has been in the slight
est degree connected with the "fire-eaters'' or
their aiders or abettors.— Jour. Mess.
The Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad Com
pany have closed a contract in New York for

Atlantic Steamers. —We yesterday allu
ded to the fact that our Philadelphia neighbors
were actively engaged in perfecting their line
of Liverpool steamers. The company, we
since learn, have purchased the large steamer
now building in New York, heretofore known
as the ‘ San Francisco,” commenced for
Messrs Howard & Son, for a California pack
et. She is to be altered to a propeller and
finished withall possible despatch. The fourth
ship of the line is to be built in Philadelphia
immediately.
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. We
hope it will not be long before we sha'l have
the pleasure of announcing that the enterpris
ing Merchants of Baltimore are making a
similar move.— Balt. American.
The Commsdore Stockton.—This fine
steam ship, built in Kensington for Captain
English of Florida, and Mr. Ulm of Charles
ton. will leave this port to-day for California,
under the command of Capt. 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

London Exhibition, wherever it can be done
without detriment to the public service.

A Ntw ard Important Invention—Rail
road Cars without Dust.—All our readers
who have ever travelled on a railroad have ex
perienced the great annoyance slid distress,
occasioned by the immense quantities of dust
which insinuates itself into every crack and cre
vice in a rail car, almost choking the occupants
to death, to say nothing of the damage done to
clothing- This inconvenience was partly rem
edied by the ponderous sprinklers which have
been adopted on some of our roads, but we
have now to announce a new invention, so
simple that we only wonder no one ever found
it out before, and so efficient, that the passen
gers can travel in a rail car with as much com
fort in the dustiest day in July, as they can in
the frostiest day in January. 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

IDO CERTIFY that I have, for the last four
teen years, been afflicted with a very bad Can
cer on my chin. It had destroyed the greater por
tion of my chin down to the bone. I had tried the
most eminent Cancer Doctors in the State, but all to
no purpose. Finally I was advised by a friend to
visit Dr. W. R. Mosely, of Griffin, Ga. 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. Every person
afflicted with the above disease, ought to visit him
immediately, and have their health restored.
