A Vl*lt to the Mammoth Cave.
Babbex Coi-stt, Kr., Dec. 8, 1851.
I am a hundred mile* from Louisville, in the
midst of a Kentucky wild ernes*, waiting with all
patience for the stage to take me on my return trip
from the “ Mammoth Cave.”
Surrounded by brandy drinking “Comcrackers,”
it is quite a question whether I succeed in giving
yon a description of one of the most wonderful of
natural curiosities; one which being seldom visitod
by persons from the East, is regards there with the
vaguest ideas. Leaving Louisville on the morning
of December 2, two long oold hours before daybreak
we rolled for nineteen Honrs over the muddy, rough
turnpike, in a miserable stage coach, obliged to
alight and walk up and down steep hills and river
banks, until I heartily despised pleasure travel
ling, and wishing a thousand times I usd sailed
quickly down the Ohio, without risking life nnd
limb to see a mere cave in the rock. My travel
ling companions were a returned Mexican volun
teer, two'disgusting bull-dog puppies, two returned
Californians, anda travelling agent for a New York
dry goods house. Perfumes or cigars and whiskey
math the stage most uncomfortable, and right glad
was I, bruised and wearied with the ride, to creep
into an almost frozen bed at this little country ho
tel. After sleeping until late the next morning,
and devoting sorae noum to endeavors to throw off
the effect* of the preceding day's hard work, I
hired an old string-halted and wmd-broken horse,
and crowding some few articles into a pair of bor
rowed saddle-bags, galloped through the keen
wind, over hills, n distance of seven miles to the
cave.
1 was soon seated before a smoking supper at a
good and most comfortable inn. The next morn
ing early, taking with me “ Stephen,” an intelli
gent slave belonging to the plantation in which
the cave is situated, who lias acted as guide for
fourteen years, and himsslf discovered many ofits
hidden wonders, armed with lights and provisions,
I started to explore this world-famed cave rn. Pass
ing through a romantic gorge in the hills, and ra
pidly descending towards Green River, we soon
discovered the yawning chasm, its aides disfigured
by the remains of saltpetre works, erected during
the “ last war.” Lighting our lamps and carefully
guarding them from the cold outer air which rush
ed into the aperture, we passed rapidly for some
three or four hundred yards through an avenue
called the Narrow*. Here throwing ofT my heavy
ooat, I put on a rough but light roundabout. En
tering the main avenue, cut through the solid rock,
forty to fifty feet wide and forty high, wo aoon
reached the “Church,” a fine room, capable of
holding some thousands of people. Its walls arc
almost circular: a shelf jutting from the side forms
the pulpit; ana a well-sliapea space behind a choir
and organ loft. It is covered by a dome of rock,
seventy feet high in the centre.
Between this room and the opening of the cave
the walls and ceilings are covered with myriads of
bats, which liavo taken up their Winter quarters,
and are scarcely yet torpid. They fill the air with
horrid sounds, utid add vastly to tho dismal feel
ings awakened by these gloom passages. The eye,
unaccustomed to tho strange dull light of the
torches, fails at first to appreciate the full size and
dimensions of the avenues, domes and spacious
halls which crowd upon one's notieo, aud it is not
until after passing “ tho Church” that tho lofty
ceilings and deep shaded sides become distinctly
visible. Passing through several largo halls, very
similar to the one doscribed, wo come to a sudden
angle, where in bold relief from the wall stands
out a fair representation of a largo steamship’s
stern, called the “ Great Western.” The wonder
ful resemblencca to objecta In tho world above are
not (infrequent in tho' cave. Just before entering
“the Church,” some distance from the pathway,
stands an immense rock shaped much like a hung
coffin, fifty feet long. On tho top lies the figure of
a giant on his back, with arms fylded on liis chest
in the quiet dignity of doatli. Passing through
the “ ball room” we leave the grand avenue, and
turning to the right pass for a quarter of a mile
through a narrow channel called “ Fat Man’s Mis
ery”,—so called from the utter impossibility of one
possessing mammoth dimensions passing through
ft.. Leaving this passage way and jumping from
rock to rook, clambering down deep pits nnd rug
ged precipices by means of rickctty laddors, we
oomo to the “ Stops of Time.”
Itosconding these, and passing through the
“ Vulo of Humiliation,” we leave the “Head Sea,”
a deep dark pool of water, on our right, and step
carefully past tho “ Side Snddlo” and “ Bottomless
Pits." The aidos of these are protected by rude
railings, nnd as the guido lights up. with the fitful
glare of oiled paper,' their seemingly unfathomable
depths, |dnrk images of Christian’s “Valley of tlio
Shadow of Death ’ flit across the imagination, and
one hurries onward. Discarding Cnarons’ boat,
we crossed the river Rtyx by means of a natural
bridge of rocks, steep and almost dangerous in tho
centre. Looking down eighty feet below us in tho
gloomy depth rolled tho durk waters of the river.
Descending a long hill wc camo to the banks of
the Lethe. Hero entering tho boat we paddled
down tho stream somo hundreds of yards, and
crossed to tho other side, fastened our eanoe to tho
hank. After a fatiguing walk of scarcely half a
mile, wo came to “ Echo river,” formorlv callod,
most inappropriately the River Jordan, llcrc pla
cing our light in the prow of the boat, we push oif
into the stream, and stopping, glide under an arch
way of rook and enter an almost fairy grotto. For
nearly a mile the rivor winds through this grotto,
the dome like ceiling meeting thirty feet above our
heads. Never was my mind filled with such wild,
unutterable thoughts ns whilo gliding down tho
deep, quiet boßom of this river. Shut out by
miles from the outer world; surrounded above
and on each side by rook; below mo dark water;
the strange glare of lights, nnd our own gliost-liko
appearance, all conspired to make mo forgot myself
as on inhabitant of earth, aud transport me to tlio
regions of dream land.
You can have no idea of the effect of music on
this rivor. Stephen had a strong clear voice and
the echo of liis songs lingered and reverbornted in
sweetest oadoucos, thon died slowly away iu the
distant windings of the stream, growing" sweeter
every moment. In the hour I spent there I seemed
to live weeks, and would not for any consideration
lose the memory of those strange moments of de
light. Passing tho river wo left to our right a
beautiful cascade, and wandered through alaby
rinth of grand avenues aud gloomy, lofty domes
and chambers. I could spend hours in describing
their beauty and grandeur. Wo came out into a
bright glowing moonlight in the ovening, well
wearied, but richly repaid for a walk of twenty-two
miles through the mysterious passageways. I
spout a pnrt of the next morning in exploring’other
chambers of the cave, one ol which, the “ Star
Chamber,” must not bo forgotten. Imagine a deep
gorge in the mountain ; perpendicular walla rising
on either aide, separated from each other by a dis
tance of one hundred foet; nnd yourself on a
dark clear night standing in its depths ; walls on
either side a hundred and fifty feet high, and tlio
stars shining clearly over hea’d—and you have a
fuint idea of this chamber. The high black ceil
ing is dotted here and there by little pieces of lime
stone, which, glittering in the torchlight, seem like
stars glittering in tho clear dark sky. 1 think tho
Mammoth Cave one of tho most beautiful, and at
tho same time awful wonders of tho world. As
one listens at Niagara to the deep roar of rushing
waters, or secs the mad crested waves dashing
their ftiry on the storm boating oecean, his soul is
filled with tlioir grandeur ana sublimity, and he
sinks into insignificance. But here he fa ushered
into tlio secret chambers of tho earth, aud seoins
to dive into the unsearchable mvsteries of nature.
Ills soul is spell-bound, and he drinks iu the gran
deur, and awfhluess of tlio varied scenes, until ho
eeems initiated into tho deepest workings of crea
tion. Happy he who can look from nature to
nature’s God, aud read the power and might in all
His works. I visited also another beautiftU cave,
the “ White Cave,” but cannot now describe it.
T*a.—A writer in the New York Journal of
Commerce speaks of an attempt to introduce the
cultivation or tea, coffee, indigo, &c. iuto this
country, towards which some SIBOO have been
subscribed, and 740 acres of valuable laud devoted,
he says :
“ Tea is produced aud manufactured in China at
a cost of 7 cents per pound. In the Assam and
Ringphoo countries, it costs 2 to 8 cents per pound.
In Java, tho planter sells liis tea to the Dutch
Government (who advances him money for cul
tivation! for 5 cents per pound. The consumers of
tea in America pay 60 to 100 cents per pound, in
England 100 to 150 cents per pound. Tho toa
that both countries consume is miserable stuff,
having but a sprinkling of genuine tea with the
spurious teas of tho seaboard of China. The tea
plant is one of the hardiest plants thero is. The
Genuine teas of China are produced from the 28th
egrees of north latitude upwards ; the 29th and
80th degrees are the districts from which the
green and black teas arc exported. These districts
are subject to very severe treat and heavy snow.
The United States is in every way adapted to the
production of tea. Indigo can be produced to any
amount in this country ; and for one third the ex
pense that it costs in Last India. The exports of
tea from America uiav become more important
than auy ether ot her staples. A person who uses
tea once a day will consume 7t£ pounds in the
year, nnd twice a day 15 pounds a year.
The import of tea into England varies from 50
to 57 million pounds, of which some 47 millions
are consumed in the United Kingdom. The tea
that coats less than 7 cents per pound, and sold at
( anton on an average of 20 per cent, per pound, is
sold to the consumers at 100 to 150 cents per
pound. Therefore, the great bulk of the people
* t .? a ®. lt .i and probably not more than 5,0(5),-
000 of the inhabitants out-of 8,000,000 make use of
twice*!'dav* t * lo * e "' 10 do ** generally do so
If tea couid be had iu England at a fhir price in
proportion to the cost andtf f.Ur
quality, it would not be too much to sav the con
sumption would be equal to six pounds 'aLrnTor
eoroe 130.000,y00pounds. The consumption would
morale in this country, mid in allnarts of thn
workL In South Australia the people^™l
pounds per head. The Chinese use at it all hours ■
and so would the people of all the east, could thev
procure it. The quality of tea cannot be appreciat
ed by that how exported from China; nor can the
trade naturally extend, under present circumstan
ce*. in this country. For instance, the import of
coffee is some 146,000,000 pounds; that of tea
varies from 20,000,000 to 23,000,000 pounds. The
ease would be the reverse if a good or fair quality
of tea could be had. The expense of introducing
tea, indigo, and coffee plants, and other exotics, as
set forth, may be 87,000 to 88,000.”
Rpssu.—Rev. Dr. Baird in his lecture at New
ark, on Monday evening, said that Russia had a
total population of 67,000,000 —of which 54,000,-
000, are in Europe. Or the whole number 45.000,-
000 are serfs ; 20,000,000 belong to the Emperor.
They are sold with the lands. There are no serfe
in Poland or Finland. The design of the present
Emperor is to abolish serfdom, and the lecturer
remarked that if he lived 80 years, he would do it,
and added, that if he accomplished that, humanity
would pardon many of his bad deeds. The rev
enue of Russia is $180,000,000, and the debt ia
$600,000,000.
The New York Crystal Palace.
We copy the following account of the projected
exhibition in New York, from the Daily Time*,
of the 81st ult.
The public has been inquisitive for a long time
concerning tbe projected “Exhibition of all Na
tions” to be lioldcnat New kork in the Spring,
snd are yet in the dark. The New Yorkers are
behind the Londoners in correct information, as it
appears bv a late paper “that plans and designs
for an exhibition building at New York have been
prepared by Joseph Paxton, the great artist of the
Glass Palace, which have been exhibited to and
approved by Her Majesty, and attracted mush at
tention at the London Exchange.”
That an exhibition will be had in this city, aßd
that a building of glass and iron is to lie erec
ted for tlio purpose, has been pretty generally un
derstood, from the action of tuc city council in the
matter of the petition of Mr. E. Riddle for the nse
of Madison Square.
Being a resident in the neighborhood of the
Square, and feeling some interest in the subject,
I have taken considerable trouble to ascertain what
the proposed exhibition is to be, who ore tiie real
proprietors of it, and what the probable element*
of its success in New York. The result of the in
quiry has been the conclusion that the objection
raise'd by the residents on the Square against tbe
location of the building there, would not liave
been urged so warmlv, had they correctly under
stood the objects of the Exhibition and tho nature
of the building to be erected ; and it would ap
pear to be for the interest of Mr. Riddle and asso
ciates—now that the use of Reservoir Square lias
been given them by the corporation—that they
should*acquaint the public with it* true features.
The idea of an Exhibition of the iudostry of all
nations, to be held in this country, is not a new
one. The present exhibition was projected in part
at the suggestion of certain prominent exhibitors
at the Crystal Palace, who were desirous of ship
ping their productions to the United Sautes, if a
good and safe repository were afforded them, and
with an ultimate prospect of sale, rather than re
turn them to tlieir distant point* of manufacture.
Some of the choicest works of art from France—
the Zol-Yeireu and Prussia—are boxed ready for
shipment. Prince Albert lias entered warmly into
the plan, and ha* proposed shipping to Mr. Kiddle
twenty five or thirty of his most valuable pieces of
statuary and painting.
The great work in bronze, the famous Amazon
by Kiss of Berlin, has been purchased by the gen
tlemen associated with Mr. K., and only waits the
completion of the building to be forwarded to this
country. The rare nnd coetly shawls from the East
Indies, and many of the most valuable articles sent
to Loudon from a distance, are ready for trans
shipment to New York.
[1 learn that Mr. Riddle, since his arrival in this
country has received 700 applications from Lon
don and the Continent for a space in tlio Exhibi
tion.]
The articles which would he shipped here are
from points so remote that in till probability they
never could again be collected. They arc the
choicest works of tbe choicest artists in t lie world.
Our mechanics are thus afforded an opportunity of
seeing the works of the best European artists, and
of measuring tlieir abilities by them.
The exhibition docs not then propose to be a
rivul, but a continuation of the former, and the
glory which attached to the one will be transferred
to the other.
If the mechanics of our country arc permitted
to examine what has been shown as specimens of
the best productions of the best workmen of the
world, they have a standard by which to form
their own judgment, and to be better prepared for
a trial at some future world’s Fair, with more pros
pects of a successful competition. Without such a
standard, no just idea can lie formed of the abili
ties of the cunning artisans they have to contend
with.
After the contributions from abroad shall bo de
posited, our countrvineii are afforded an opportu
nity of placing beside them tlieir own works, and
of exhibiting, if they choose, the might instead of
the weakness of America.
The Rights of Women.— The Rev. Dr. Dewey,
in a lecture bofore the Mercantile Library Associ
ation,At New York, on Monday evening, on the
subject of reform and progress, alluded in the fol
lowing tonus, ns reported by the Tribune, to the
subject of woman’s rights:
I believe, said the lecturer, that woman has been
deeply wronged by many customs of society. It is
not only among the Indians and Hottentots that the
sacred privileges of womanhood have been grossly
outraged. \\ oinan was not bom to lose her own
identity in the will of another. I have never felt
willing in performing the marriage ceremony, to
use the word obey, in reference to tlio wife. True,
tlio Apostle Paid said, Wives, obey your husbands;
but that was in an imperfect state of society; and
in the present age of light and refinement, we
should not insist on tlio command of the Apostle.
Wedlock is a state of ntire reciprocity, and differ
ence of opinion should be settled by’mutual for
bearance and love, not by arbitrary compulsion.
Nor should tho earnings of a wife be left in the
1 lower of n dissipated husband to squander upon
tin vices. Let woman receive tho benefit of a wise
and complete education ; let her pecuniary rights
be respected, although two independent p’roperty
liolders in the same family may not be convenient;
but Ist her not be taken out of the domestic sphere,
to engage in masculine pursuits. Some would
wish to sec women in our legislative assemblies.
But Ilaaven save us from thnt. Tho legislature is
bad enough already. Introduce woman into that
scene of turmoil and conflict, with all her delicacy,
sensitiveness, and enthusiasm, and you would
have a spectacle like that of a house in flames fed
by the most volatile and inflammable oils. Some
would liavo woman a public teacher, a judicial
functionary, nnd wliv not a captain or a commodoro
as well; but nature lias destined her to the sphere
of maternity; her peculiar charge Is tlio rearing of
children; and her indoor occupations induce that
softness of nature which unfits her for the ruder
pursuits of public life.”
The I’bkji dick of History. —The sth and 6th
volumes of Lord Mahon’s History of Eugland
are just published. They commence at the year
1763 and dose with the year 1770, and comprise,
of course, as the principal theme, the American
Revolution—tho rise nnd progress of the War of
Independence. “One point in the American
War,” says tlio Spectator, “ Lord Malion brings
out quiotlv and impressively—the personal false
hood of Franklin, aud often the brutality of the
Americans at large.” Hero will be a chance for
our American reviewers nnd orities. “ Tho per
sonal falsehood of Franklin !” It will take the
affidavit of more than one lord to make that credi
ble.
Traveling in Europe. —Tho Kev. Mr. Odeulieim
cr, rector of St. Peter’s church, Philadelphia,
writing from Constantinople, says:
“ It is loss than two months since we left Phila
delphia, and we have seen (besides places of less
noto) Liverpool, London, Durham, York, Lincoln,
Peterborough, Ely, Dover, Ostend, Bruges, Ghent,
Cologne, tho Rhine, Coblcntz, Maveuce, Hanover,
Hamburg, Berlin, Ilnlle, Leipsic, Dresden, Prague,
Vienna, Trieste, Venice, Anconin, Brindisi, Corfu,
Cepluilonia, Zente, Patras, Corinth, Athens, Smyr
na, and Constantinople. Cathedrals, palaces,
paintings, and seonerv; men, manners, customs,
and languages, have all passed under our notice,
and although I make no pretensions to an elaborate
investigation into either of these departments, nev
ertheless, I have observed enough to give mo sub
jects of reflection for life.”
Daguerreotypes by the Drummond Light.—We
remarked yesterday upon an experiment made by
Mr. Whipple in' taking daguerrotypes by the
Drnminond light. Since writing, we have seen
another specimon takon by the Bame light, by Mr.
Whipple, which is highly successful, and exhibits
many advantages over daguerreotypes takenfby sun
light. The former light boing more uniform and
more under the control of tho operator, ho can mea
sure his effects with a nicety impracticable in the
other instance. The daguerrootypo before ns shows
an effect of light and shade, and a uniform distri
bution of tint, such as we do not remember to have
seen before in a daguerreotype.—7 Yanscript.
Large Cargoes. —The British ship Beejapore,
Captain McLoy, cleared at this port yesterday for
Liverpool by I). Camion, Jr., with 4,630, bales of
cotton weigning 2,346.410 pounds, and valued at
$178,258.08. This is the largest cargo ever loaded
at this port. The American ship Ticonderoga,
Capt. Bovle, also cleared at the same time with
8,625, bales, wighing 1,842,882 lbs, or an average
of per bide and of the value of $180,777.22.
The Br. ship Greenock, cleared on Thursday
for the same destination with 8,879 bales weighing
1,949,650 jHiunds and valued at $140,788.87. The
total exports to Liverpool during the past week
amount to 20,718 bales, of which 10,604 cleared
yesterday.— Mobile Register 81s< alt.
Drought in the Country. —A friend from Lib
erty couutrv informs us hat the planters have
great difficulty in getting water enough for their
cattle, many ot them having been obliged to draw
it from wells for a long time past. The fire is also
doing much damage in the woods, burning trees,
fences, Ac., and one day last week, two negroes
belonging we believe, to Mr. Bean, were burnt
to death. They were engaged in fighting fire and
were driven to a deep ditch for shelter, where thev
thought themselves safe, but the fire surrounded
them in such away that they could not escape.—

Cost of Telegraphic Operations.— lt is stated
in the February number of Appletons’ Mechanics
Magazine, a valuable journal, that the extent of
telegraphic lines, in the United States and Canada,
exceeds 12,000 miles, involving a capital of more
than three millions of dollars. To work these
lines costs annually 720 tons zinc, worth $.17, 000 ;
more than a million pounds of nitric acid, worth
$117,000; and $27,000 worth of mercury, besides
a considerable value in sulphuric acid. <fce. On
the line from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati alone, there
were transmitted in the year 1850,864,559 paid dis
putohes, and the revenue received was $73,278.
Pennsylvania Coal. —Authentic statistics, re
cently procured, show that the amount of bitumi
nous'coal mined in Pennsylvania during the year
1851 was nearly 2,400.000 tons, and of anthracite
nearly 4,900,000. These statements include not
only the amount sent to market, but also the
amount consumed by familiesj maiiu&eturing es
tablishments, railroads, &c., in the coal regions.
The aggregate shows an entire product of coal,
both anthracite and bituminous, m Pennsylvania,
during the year, to have been 7,800,000 tons. This
is a great product, and probably few, even in
Pennsylvania itself, were aware of the extent of
our coil trade. Immense as it is, however, com
pared to the recent origin of the business in this
Mato, it is nothing like as large as it would be if
Western Pennsylvania possessed adequate facili
ties for taking her coal to market. There are
many counties in that district of the State where
coal is abundant and casilv mined, but is little
worked, or not worked at all, because no improve
ments exist within reach by which it tarn be con
veyed to a profitable mart.—TorfA American.

REUBEN RICH’S PATENT CENTRE VIRONENT
WATER WHEEL.
Manufactured at the Montgomery Manufacturing Com
pany's Iran Works.
MONTGOMERY, - * ALABAMA.
Ti rK RESPECTFULLY call the attention of Manu
\ \ facturera and Mill owners to the following response
from Mr. Rich, the Patentee of the above celebrated Water
Wheel.
Vendors of Patents frequently attempt to introduce their
articles to the public with high sounding promises and loud
praises, which mean nothing. Mr. Rich, on the contrary,
has always been ready and frequently offered to test the ca
pabilities of his Wheel against all others, under any named
forfeiture. Ilis challenges have never been accepted. He
now accepts the challenge of others, and presents even more
tempting offers. We are prepared t o enter into the test for
him, and will at any time, advance the required amounts'
If gentlemen intend to “show their faith by their works’
let them come forward. „
Montgomery, April 2,1851. GINDRAT A CO.
BEWARE OF HUMBUGS.
Mv attention having been called to an advertisement in
your paper, over the signature of Jagger, Treadwell A Ferry,
challenging all other wheels, I now declare myself prepared
to accept the challenge upon all the grounds specified, nam
ing SSOO as the sum upon each point.
Ist. 1 will bet SSOO that no other wheel, patented or not,
will give out aa large a per coinage of power under a like
head and volume of water."
2d. That no wheel can be more durable.
Bd. That no wheel can be more simple.
4th. That none is cheaper.
sth. That no wheel is more steady.
Gtli. That the Rich Wheel is wholly superior to the Yande
wnter Wheel.
Aud again. There being those who are disposed to question
the fact that the Rich Wheel discharges but half its meas
urement of apertures, I will bet SI,OOO that the discharge
docs not exceed one half the apertures on a well constructed
and adjusted Rich Wheel, actual experiment having de
monstrated that it discharges in reality but 2-sths of the aper
tures, so that a wheel measuring “400 inches in its discharge
apertures" really vents less than 200 ! The depth of the
water in the tail race, is no criterion for estimating the
quantity discharged, unless reference is had to the speed
with which it runs off. For example: from the ordinary
flutter wheel under 10 feet head, the water runs ofT at the
rate of 18 to 20 feet per second. From my wheel, under same
head it runs off at less than 1-2 of this speed, and from this
consequent slowness of motion, a thousand gallons per min.
from my wheel, would create as much depth in the tail race
as four thousand from the flutter wheel from which the
water runs with quadruple rapidity.
Bear in mind, therefore, that unless speed is regarded, the
depth in the tail race is no criterion whatever of quantity,
and tliat the only true estimate is to ascertain what aperture,
alongside or under the same heal and pressure with the
wheel, will exhaust a given number of gallons of water in
the same space of time. REUBEN RICH.
P. S. —Having just learned that the Agen lthe Yands
water Wheel represent that my Wheel dltcha-ges even more
than its aperture; now to test their sincerity, 1 will bet them
or any other person who may question that the discharge o
mv wheel is more than half its apertures, as follow s ;
Ist. $5,000 to 2,000 that it does not (as the Yandewater
Agents c'ainri vent more than its apertures.
2d. $2,000, that it does ~ discharge equal to its aper
tures.
Sd. SB,OOO to $1,500, that it don't discharge two-thirds its
apertures.
4th. SI,oCO, that the discharge Is not one half the aper
tares.
6th. $1,500, that the discharge is but four-tenths the ap
ertures.
And then I will present the acceptor of the above bets,
ssoo, on his depositing the money to cover them, with SI,OOO
to cover expenses of trial, which the winner will be entitled
to, in one of the Augusta Banks, where I will as promptly
■T.t. » corresponding deposits, and,again, I will bet any sum
that the Yandewater Wheel, with some apertures as mine,
discharges one third more water. Now, where is theirbMs

SUPPLEMENTARY TAX ACT.
AN ACT supplementary to an act, entited an act to levy
and collect a tax for the political years 1852 and 1852, ap
proved January 9,1852.
Whereas, by the fifteenth section of the above entitled
act to levy and collect a tax for the political years 1862 and
1853, it is enacted that the sum of three hundred and sev
enty-five thousand dollars shall be raised for the Bupport of
the Government of this State for each of said years; and
whereas, by the fourteenth section of said act, it has been*
further enacted, that to raise the said sum, for said political
years, not more than one-twelfth of one per cent, shall be
assessed on the actual value of all the property liable to
taxation under the provisions of the above entitled act;
and whereas, his Excellency, the Governor of this State, in
a special message made to the House of Representatives,
has expressed his doubts w hether the sail* sum of three
hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars, necessary for
the support of the government of this State for each of the
said political years 1852 and 1858, can be raised by the as
sessment of only one-twelfth of one per cent, on the estima
ted value of the property subject to taxation under said
act, and hath recommended to the General Assembly, as a
precautionary measure, in case the said rate per cent, spe
cified in said act shall not be sufficient to raise the said sum
for said political years 1852 and 1553, to pass an act supple
plementary to said act, authorizing him and the Comptrol
ler General, on the return by the several tax Receivers of
this State of the Digest of property subject to taxation un
der the provisions of said act, and the value of the same,
and upon the examination and footing up of said Digest, it
shall satisfactorily appear to them that the said sum of
three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars cannot
be raised by an assessment of one-twelfth of one per cent,
on the value returned in said Digest, that they may be au
thorized and empowered to increase the said rate per cent,
so much, and no further, as may be sufficient to raise the
said sum of three hundred and seventy-five thousand dol

titled an act to levy and collect a tax for the political years
1852 and 1853, it shall appear to his Excellency, the Gover
nor, and Comptroller General of this State, upon the exami
nation and footing up of the same, that the said sum of
three hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars, necessary
for the support of the Government of this State, fur the
said political years, cannot be raised by an assessment of
one-twelth of one per cent, on the aggregate value of all
the property as returned by said Digest, and subject to tax
ation, then, in such case, it shall and may be lawful for His
Excellency the Governor and Comptroller General of this
State, and they are hereby authorized to increase the said
rate per cent, specified in said tax act, so much, and no
more or further, than will be sufficient to raise the said sum of
three hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars, necessary
for the support of the Government of this State for each of
the political years as aforesaid; and thereupon forthwith
to issue an order to each of the tax collectors of this State,
requiring them, and each of them, to proceed and collect
and receive of and from each tax payer the amount of his

The Btudents will be shown cases among the patients of
the Teachers, and such as can be taken to the lecture room

rations before the Class.
Doctors R. LEBBY and J. S. MITCHELL, who have each
a large obstetrical practice, will (as well as the teachers,)
give the Students access to all of their cares of this descrip

HOOT PARO.V ACADEMY.
THE TRUSTEES of the Mount Parou Academy have
the pleasure to anuounce that they have secured the
services of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Neely, of Augusta, for the
present year, whose eminent qualifications and long expe
rience in teaching are fully sufficient to insure the utmost
success to the enterprise, and give a high-toned impetus to
that exalted spirit of Education now so universally preva
lent in our country.
It is due to Mr. Neely to state, that he is a graduate of
Trinity College, Dublin, where he received the first distinc
tions of his Class; that he has had fifteen years of practi
cal experience, and brings numerous letters of warm ap
proval from former employers.
Mrs. Neeiy is a graduate of the Staunton Female Semi
nary, Ya., and from long experience gives every assurance
that she is eminently fitted for the duties of her station.
The Trustees have the most sanguine hopes that the In
stitution will b« permanently established, and are determin
ed that it shall lie inferior to none in point of Educational
advantages, as they will employ Teachers of the highest at
tainments only. The Scholastic year will be divided into
two Sessions of five months each; the first commencing the
2d MONDAY of FEBRUARY.
Tha rates of Tuition are as follows, viz:
Orthography, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, $6 pr. Ses.

THE PRESENT SESSION will terminate on the 2Tth

The advocates of a thorough intellectual training for the
youth of both sexes, are respectfully invited to examine tfie
present claims of this institution.
The idea that the young lady must rest content with less
rigorous discipline in her course of mental culture, than is
awarded to her brother, is discarded as unworthy a just
estimate of the female mind, which equaUy delights in rig
orous Intellectual effort, and cannot but be dissatisfied with
what is too frequently doled out as a “finished educa
tion.”
Young ladies designing to become Teachers, wfil !\ere find
every facility for suitably qualifying themselves for that most
interesting and responsible station.
It is believed that unusual frcilitles are also afforded for
acquiring the French language. Instruction in it is given
by a lady conversant from early life, with Parisians, and her
pupils are trained to write, speak and think, in this as
readily as in their native tongue, by familiarising them with
the differences in the idiom and grammatical construction of
each—tliis, no one not practically acquainted with the pecu
liarities of the English language equally with those of the
French, can so well accomplish.
In Instrumental Music, the strictest accuracy in time is
secured by a process eminently successful. Any amount of
reference can be given if desired, as to the rapid and en
during progress in this department, of numerous former pu.
pils iu this and other Mates.
In Vocal Music all are instructed—not to sing a few
pieces by imitation—but to perform from the printed page,
at sight, music they have never heard j and drilled to main
tain independent park. While this is a source of recreation
to the pupil, It Is also one of discipline and refinement. And
thus in every department is there that thoroughness which
never fails to gratify the desires of the truly intellectual
student.
Episcopalians, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Con
gregationalists, and perhaps other denominations, are har
moniously represented in the school, which in its religion
influences, is free from anything of a sectarian tendency.
The location of the Institute buildings is most delightful.
Tlic commanding view from its ample grounds, of river and
mountain scenery, is unsurpassed even in this romantic sec
tion of the Union.
Charges for five months (invariably in advance,) $5, sll
and sls, according to studies pursued, with $1 contingent.
Music, Piano or Organ S2O. Other Instrumental Instruc
tions and Ornamental branches, as heretofore.

which has been mainly attributable to the many wonderful
cures effected by the use of tills preparation. While Sarsa
parilla root forms an important part of its combination, it is,
at the same time compounded with other vegetable remedies
of great power, and it is in the peculiar combination aud
scientific manner of its preparation, that its remarkable
success in the cure of diseases depends. Other preparations

of one of its ingredients, and here ends their resemblance

choice of what they will use, not to take any other but that
one entitled to their confidence, from the long list of curea
it lias effected on living witnesses, whose testimoniala
and resiliences have turn published, and who are still

INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM CURED.
Barpctown, Ky., July 10,1849.
Messrs. Sands—Gentlemen : It Is my duty to communi
cate facts in relation to the beneficial effects of your Sarsa
parilla. My wife was afflicted with inflammation and sore
ness of the stomach of the worst character; her limbs were
much swollen ; she had constant headache, and last spring
was attacked severely with Inflammatory Rheumatism.
The best medical aid we could obtain afforded only momen
tary relief; and while in this situation, she heard of the
many remarkable cures effected by the use of Sands' Sarsa
parilla and commenced Its use, which produced instant re
lief, and less than six bottles entirely removed ull the drop,
sicul swelling aud every other inflammatory symptom, restor
ing her to perfect health. I send this statement as an act
of justice, believing it to be my duty to encourage the suf.
feriug portion of the human family to use Sands’ Sarsaparilla,
which I believe has no parrallel in the catalogue of medicine!
With feelings of lasting gratitude, I remain your friend,
SARTO P. HabOM.
Read the following from
Nkw Orlkaxs, Nov. 12, 1849.
Messrs. Sands—Gentlemen : 1 take the liberty of sending
a letter which may be of Importance to those who are suffer
ing as 1 have done. 1 received great benefit from your Bar
saparilla, having been cured of a malady after suffering six
years. I hereby chccfolly certify to the good effect of your
medicine, and 1 hope God will reward you for all the good
you have done. A chronic cough had tormented me day
aud night, and repeated attack* of fever Induced me to be
lieve that 1 should die with consumption. One day, while
suffering a violent attack of burning fever, a friend persua
ded me to try your incomparable medicine, but to tell the
truth, I had no confidence in it. 1 finally purchased a bottle,
and by its usa, and the help of God, I was restored to bet
ter health than I had enjoyed for six years. I oaunot but
bless the author of this admirable medicine.
With great respect, I am, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,

Messrs. Sands—Gentlemen : My wife suffered wltj* a
distress and burning in her chest for many years, and mi
daughter was afflicted from her birth with a humor In tht
blood. We consulted various physicians, and tried abmeroit
remedies, without much benefit, until wo heard, through
ltev. Thomas Davis, of the great medicinal value of Sand-
Sarsaparilla. On his recommendation my wife and daughter
decided on trying it, and soon experienced permanent bene-,
fit. My daughter’s skin assumed a new appearance eutios
ly ; from being rough, hard and scaly, it became smEoth
uiul soft. My wife’s sufferings arc almost gone, aud if. luli ,
a short time longer, it is my firm belief, will produce a IMr fect

* 'LOVELY YOUNO LADY CURED OF CONSUMPTION.
The following is from the pen of Wm. 11, Levison, Esq.,
the distlnguslicd editor of the U. S. Miltary anil Naval Ar
gus, under date New York, January 26, 1888. What could
be more conclusive ?
“ It is seldom we permit ourselves to oecupy a place In
(liese columns to speak in praise of any article In the patent
i medicine way ; but when we see the life of a fellow creature
! saved by the use of any medicine whatever, we consider it
our light, if not our duty, to give a simple statement of
facts, that others may, In tike manner, be benefltted. The
esse which has induced us to pen thin article, was that of a
young lady of our acquaintance, who, by frequent expo
■ sure to the night air, contracted a Cold wliich settled on the
Lungs, before its ravages could he stayed. (Tills occurred
two years ago this winter.) Various remedies were used
hut, with very little effect or benefit. The Cough grew
worse, with odious expectoration, and the sunken eye, and
pale, hollow cheek, told plainly that pulmonary disease was
doing its work on her delicate frame. The family physician
was consulted, and although he would not ndrnit to the
young lady that she really had the Consumption, yet lie
would giveno encouragement as to a cure. At this crisis her
mother waspersuaded to make use of a bottle of Dr. Rogers’
Compound Syrup of Liverwort nud Tar, and we are happy
to state that she was perfectly cured In less than threw
mouths by this medicine alone, after even hope was destroy
ed. It Is useless to comment on such a ease ns this, for the
simple truth will reucli where polished fiction never can.
If any doubt the authenticity of this statement, let them
coll at this office. U. S. Military mid Naval Argus, No. lit
