Correspondence of the Times.
Eoiimmnu, August 15, 1845.
Mr. Editor— On my departure for Burope.
you did me the honor to request that I would j
send you while abroad an occasional communi
cation touching objects and events met \Vith, and
impressions received. A s milar request was
made by many friends, with all bf Whom it
would be didicult to maint tin separate correspon
dences, and yet to whose flattering solicitations,
aa well as your own, I feel something is due.
The traveller who gOcs ibrodd with no siii’ster
design of perpetrating a book, but to see and
learn, will have little leisure to bestow Upon the
rtethod or graces of his composition. I shall
fall out with no one for n)t reading what is writ
ten.
Arrived in the British tales, in summer from
• parallel of latitude wine twenty degrees near
er the equator, one feels sensibly enough the
change. The days have st.len two hours from
th nnrht, and twilight as many more. One
reads print, on experiment, at 10 o’clock, P. M.,
■ f the atmosphere he clear; and in bed, counts
his lingers backwards and forwards by the light
us his window, at 12. We can do'no belter,
cince there is no sleeping in such circUnistdnces.
The skies look whitish and wintry—the deep
blue vault of Southern skies is not above—light
showers and cool winds are humorously denomi
nated the rule, sunshine and a quiet atmosphere
the exception.
Tbe rural beauty of England and that portioh
of Scotland over which I. have travelled, is, in
the main, incapable of being exaggerated. Lit
tle plats of small grain, grass, clover, and vege
tables, differing in hue, and closely pressing on
each other, make a carpeting for the earth, that
the foot of royally might justly covet. Every
one-'knows w hat the English fence is^—yet the
man of the post and rail should see the English
fence to fully comprehend the effect of it. In all
•uses from tbe young nursling to the full growii
liush 12 or 15 feet high, and ill all forms, natural
•n 1 trimmed—the green hedges of black thorn,
are een running over the length and breadth of
the land, ever in view, and falling at short dis
tances on each other in every imaginable angle.
But what perhaps most surprises the American
traveller is tbe extremely crowded appearance of
m iny parts of the country. Young, short spread
ing trees, in lively verdure, abound in groves,
rows, cluiu; s, or individuals on every few acres
ot ground, giving to the rural scenery, the rich
est and mast intense beAuty. The little farm
house smiles upon you from a cluster ol orua
insntal trees, and h. niay be froth a lied of em
powering vines. Look to the window as you
pass— Ho ver-pots with their prgtty little charg
es wdlbe ccrtaiuly seen in it. There is wisdom
end purity iu the love of floWere. Rivers, there
are none—mountain* there are none—the cities
and villages of England wear a stiff sombre as
р. rt—hat one can afford to fall down oti the ver
dure, and bless the sweet fields.
One should go a coaching in England. The
fiavoller whit dbei ndt, is to be pitied, but not
forgiven. Mutinied oh the outside of a light
roach, which provides on the top of it by trans
verse scats fur fifteen or sixteen of the one or
two and twenty who usually pass by it. Mr.
Coachman With a lihgc pair bf gloves drawn
over his wrists in his seat, and tongue and buckle
always on the meet, osle wheels away his 8 or
10 miles an hour over a thoroughly graded and
Macadamised road, amidst succeeding vicW’s of
the loveliest landscape.
Agricultural details are dry subjects—-let a
rerj partial notice of some of the fixtures that
may be seen on an English farm in the imttvdi
r.*e neighborhood of Liverpool, be given to the
planter- Long ranges of buildings are erected,
principally of single story; with walls df brick,
toots of slate, and laid with snloothly w rought
t’ tg stones. Those are divided into djiartincnts
suited to the different purposes of receiving the
pmJurts of the farm—stabling for stock df all
Kinds—piggery, poultry-house, custory of vehi
cles an I implements, and dairy. The partitions
<*f the stalls of horses and cattle are of smooth
plates of sUuie. and troughs throughout of cast
Iron. A steam engine sets in motion machinery
•ml fills irou tubes, which, pervadiiig appropri
ate rooms, secure the execution of the multiplied
offices of thrashing, sorting and grinding grain,
steaming, scalding or boiling food l'drstock, turn
ing wood, and churning—all l>v machinery, and
under a common roof. Fifteen horses of the
tMormous Norman breed pull the ploughs and
carts, an J eighty cows df the finest stocks, sup
ply the dairy. The pigs, all sizes and ages are
pigs in correspondence. Perhaps
*o:ne one. overly fastidious, i.s suggesting that
ows and pigs are small matters to speak of—l
shall retort Upon him that it is not John Littlcr
v alls’ cows and pigs that are small matters. One
.vho thinks so, shduld see the former as they
*4and confined by collar, efiain and staple over
Ivds of clean straw, in their glossy and shining
coals. With stomachs filled to repletion, they
mv tossing the sweet scented hay on their short
rnd polislied Ports; Mr. Pig has taken his fa
vorite |Kxsiuc:t of r ise—broadside, with two legs
l.ftcd into tbe sir by the lotundity of his figure
to an agle of 25 or 30° to the other two. To
view that such things may Ik* not without their
profits, it titty be allowable to add that the milk
a;i-1 hotter sold weekly from this little farm, con
•-.s :ng as it doe* of 100 acres of poor land, are
computed on the average at $l5O.
Her Majesty's Courts of assize were sitting
l>r Oxford the second week of July. Two Jus
tices wore in attendance, ‘he one for the civil,
the other for the Criminal si ! e of the Court—
their annual salaries, 1 am informed is $40,000
each. The Hotel keeper apologizes for shew
ing the casual ejest to an inferior room, bv sta
t that the Judges had rented l 4 or the best
iou::;s in the budding for the week. Could a
Lith he had ! The Judges had taken it for the
week. The next morning was holy Sabbath—
i pvii.ee man in the streets recommended me to
attend service at St. Mary’s Church, that the
Judgi - were going there. At 11 o'clock, A M.,
the Judges fussed to St. Mary’s in a fine Car
riage with men in !iviy upon it, preceded by
twelve men. in unite-in of red, with Javelins in
hand, and followed he along train of spectators.
\rri-.rd in the choir cf the Church, thecongre
tfion arose, the music struck tsp, a prayer alter
t ; • prevailing custom of asking for all things
cMble in general terms, and each individual
thing Sv its specific name, was made, a well
w riitrii sermon was read, and the Judges return
ed a< they came. On the occasion of opening
C nrttlie Javelin man (so they are denominated
here) blew trumpets.
\> the two first causes that were tried were
n.it without interest on some. accounts ; I shall
in ike no apology for submitting a short notice ot
t'.K.n. The first was in favor of Mr. F—, the
pa-son of a neighboring parish, against Mr. G—
a brother-in-law, for a trespass in turning his
i* vk upon the garden and yard of the parson
i :■in the possession and use of the plaintiff.
Conn l on both sides agrees in representing
Mr. G— as the proprietor of all the lands in
t l - parish except the parse: age. The second
u:t w in favor of Mr. G— against Mr. F—,
t k:!! ; -g the Colts of the plaintiff while they
i. ■- so trespassing. Mr. G—-plead guilty to
?ha firs* action—hut with the selfish purpose, by
paying a small sum of money into Court, under
rule, which he did, of throwing costs on the
plaintiff The parson 6tood tor greet ter damages,
and the Jury gave him 15 shillings additional,
w.ta his costs. But the second action proves to
he a more serious affair. It turned out in p.oof
that tire Parson by a successful fling of a hav
fork it the dark had wounded one of the colts
so that it shortly dies, and following up his blows,
had crippled afiother. Furthermore, tbe broth
с. land proprietor Mr. G—, made a mili
cn.u; and not altogether unsuccessful attempt to
smut upon the parson, by proof of general
‘•id temper, such as denouncing persons by
liard names, and what not’; and to which mode
of examination the council for the parson, who
wu no other than the learned and gifted Ser
geant T—d, seemed to think there was no objec
tion—aHiough le st(-od before the Jury on his
own statement chibfly, to protect the character
an I feelings of his client. After much addition
al ! ‘oof and counter-proof in which the parties,
ex.-ttfd If* *he charming natufe of the inve: tiga
tixi. .iced as witnesses, the one a daughter
and the other a sister, both grown up and un-’
married, the case closed. But troubles were not
yet at an end. In commenting on the case to
the Jury, the Judge unfortunately for the older
of containing other things, read a very severe
and somewhat turgid lecture to the “ Hev’d de
fendant, as lie denominated the parson. The
parson out ol all patience, rose on the conclu
sion of the charge, and insisted on making a
speech to the Jury-. The Judge orders him to
his seat. The parson persisted—the Judge re
peated the order—the parson took his seat in
compliance with the will ol tire Judge, and rose
again in compliance with his own. Tbe Judge
ordered him to he removed—the bailiff approach
ing to make an arrest, the parson submitted, and
the Judge forgivingly countermanded the order.
I he hour of adjournment reached, another blast
oi toe trumpets Was blown, and the Javelin men
rolled on iu front of the carriage in burnished
column back to the door of the Hotel. It is lit
erally true whether by understanding of council,
custom, or otherwise, I know not, that during
the five hour* of investigation the two cases
closely occupied, the council put jiist what ques
tions they chose, the witnesses replied precisely
what they pleased, the Judge wrote every sylla
ble tiiat was spoken by the witnesses on paper,
and read every syllable that he wrote to the Ju
ry* The English Judges are good Judges, and
the Engfssh Lawyers are good Lawyers, as the
world knows—but all this with pleasure acknowl
edged, it was difficult for an American observer
Who had seen not only what had taken place in the
trial of these two cases, but more particularly
how things took place, not to carry with
him three reflections, t-r-tvit; how delightful a
circumstance it must have been that one man
should have owned all the lands in the Parish
except the pittance allowed to the Parsonage,
and that not free from his encroachments. How
fortunate it was for the souls of the Parishioners,
that they had fallen into the hands of one pos
sessed of such pious frames of temper as those
ot the “Rev. defendant,” and finally, in what
disproportions two beings aaonot unfrcquciitty
connected in this world—shew and substance.
Three weeks laboriously spent in London in
what is denominated by the traveller “sight see
ing” and in attendance on Parliament, etc.,
give one a very imperfect idea of the personages
And objects of interest about the mammoth city
ofthe world. Let the tiest intelligence the stran
ger edri collect be stated and taken with proper
distrust. Her Majesty, the Queen, a not very
handsome ot fortunately a tempered lady, with
warm generous impulses, devoted to her hus
band, affectioiiate td her children, and observant
ofthe practices and usriges of her church, takes
some interest in politics, has a will, shed tears
at the loss ot her late ministry, and is represented
to bein tier political creed, a zealous little, free tra
der. Her husband Prince Alberta tall, handsome
looking young man, of good education, and some
taste, coincides with his more illustrious cotisort iti
political preferences, not very popular with the
Aristocracy, who despised him in the beginning
Ur his poverty and comparative obscurity, de
nominate him mean in the use of his income,
and to which a portion of them, to wit, the
I ory Party superadd a hatred ofhicn for his poli
tics* Lord John Russel’ a pleasant, mild man
tiered Gentleman, bf small size, tine taste, ex
cellent education, good intentions, fair talents;
defective in force, and energy in debate. w ir
Robert Peel, df full size, erect, good looking, 58
yedrs old, and belieyed by many to be in all the
combinations that unite to nature a great states
man and an efficient debater, the ablest man in
the Kingdom. Lord 13—h is sufficiently known
for his learnirg and ability by his writings, and
the voice of lame—but it may not be generally
known that he is as utterly without influence or
caste as it i.- possibie for one of his acknowled
ged party to be. Intemperance, instability and
the loss df personal dignity of character, have
run him completely front the list of the great
dnd leslrned spirits df the country. ‘Lord Moii
teague, a tiewly cheated Lord, formerly Spring
Rice of the editorial corps of the Edinburgh Re
view. A man of the finest intelligence, the
most liberal political principles, and great per
sonal benevolence. He has called in to see Mr.
McLean our minister, after an absence of s me
weeks to Ireland. Met Mr. McLean lively con
gratulating on thfe settlement of the Oregon
Question, gave a glowing arcdUnt of the recep
tion and relish by the Irish, Os the American
corn meal, expressed great pleasure, in meeting
with Americans, a lively interest in tbe success of
pur institutions and the prospect of a more accom
modated course of commercial interchanges with
us. Like Mr. McCHuly, his friend and associate,
he is politically associated with what is called
ineffectually the whig and free trade politicians
ofthe British Parliament. Lord George B—is
the chosen leader of the Tory Party—heard him
at great length in his impotent and ineffectual
speech against the bill for the abolition and di -
criminations between free and slave grown su
gars, called familiarly the sugar Bill. Unfortu
nately for Lord George B—, having distinguish
ed himself heretofore by his success on the turf
rather than in Parlianfent, and his mann r is
laborious, involved; and slow beyond degree*
Favouring the humour, Punch has effectually
fixed upon him the unlucky cognomen of “the
man with a stable mind.” Yet the statement is,
that “it is the best his party can do,,’ if so, it is
too plain that this branch of the old Aristocracy
at least will soon find it their policy so cast about
among the lovely daughters of some ofthe more
gifted Commoners around them for wives in be
half of themselves and daughters—the more es
pecially so, ifthoy are to cherish the hope of re
taining strength enough among them to main
tain on a respect iblejlooting their rapidlvjinking
theories of politics. But for the present adieu,
A CVnzEX of Columbus.
Fron the N 0. Bulleten Extra
Important prom Mexico.
Loss of the BrfrU Tbcxtox. —The U. S.
revenue cutter Legare, arrived at Southwest
Pass on the 4th inst. from Yera Cruz, whence
she sailed on the 28th ultima. The mails which
she brings from the squaffron in the Gulf reached
the city this morning, by towboat. The nfes
senger bearing the propositions of bur Govern
ment lor a renewal of negotiations with Mexico,
had readied Commodore Conn >r. Santa Anna,
was received at Yera Cruz with both official
and private demonstrations of rejoicings. Ws
have by this arrival the melancholy inteligence
ofthe loss of the United States’ brig Truxton,
and the capture by tha enemy of a large portion
of her crew.
The subjoined extract of a letter, from an in
tcligent correspondent on board a U. S.” vessel
of War, dated off Vera Cruz, the 2Sth August,
gives full particulars of the news.
The cx-President [Santa Anna.] arrived off
here on the I6th inst. and entered Vera C T uz
on the same day ; he was accompaied by his la
dy and daughter, and Gen. Almonte; the stea
mer that brought him was boarded by an offi
cer from the St.’ IMary's, and his Excellency a
little disturbed by the visit, apprehending he might
possibly be detained, but the Commander of the
St. Alary's previously instructed by the Com
modore, permitted him to pass; judging from re
ports that have leached us and the royal salute
given him, liis arrival was hailed with great joy
With deep regret I haVe also to inform you
amongst other news, of the U. S. brig Truxton
and the capture of her officers and crew, with
the exception of her Lieutenants, Hunter and
Bern man, with about eighteen twenty of her
erevv, which unfortunate event ocebfed on the
14th ult., under the following circumstances:
The Truxton left here on the 12th, for Tampi
co, to relieve the sloop John Adams , then block
ading that port, with permission from the Com
modore to spend a day off Tuxpam, a smali port
about 120 miles to the southward of this. Here
commander understanding that the water in the
river was good, and being desirous of filling up
before going to his station, stood into three and
a half fathoms water for the purpose of covering
her boats whilst watering, when suddenly shoa
ling her water the brig struck, and in spite of
e ery ifort on the part of her officers and crew
to gbt her off, canlinticd to strike until she fi
nally during the night in a gale thumped over
the bar into eight feet water; when ts e com
mander was forefd to surrender. Lieut. Berry
man was despatched in a boat as the
brig struck, to the Commodore fr assistance,
she then being in a situation in. which, sfie
could have been gotten iff; he arrived here a
week go-to-day.
On tlfe 17th all hopes of saving the vessel
being abandoned, Lt. Hunter, her executive
officer and nine of the crew volunteered to
cross the bar, (upon which a heavy sea was
then breaking) and attempt the capture of a
schooner outside, for the purpose, if p'ssible, of
rescuing the officers and crew and destroying
the brig. The schooner was carried, and Lt. H.
returned leaving the schooner outside in posses
sion of two of bis men, but owing to a high sea
running, it wa.- deemed impracticable to board
the brig Or get from the brig to fc : eiit. H.'sboat.
Under these circumstances, the commander gave
Lt H. permission either to hazard a second pas
sage of the bar, and make the best of his way to
the Commodore here, or surrender, as he the
Captain had determined to do, as pr soners of
war. Lt. H. chose the former alternative,
and arrived here on the 21st safe, tho’ much
exhausted from exposure, and want of rest and
food. On the way he captured two schooners
containing double his force, and narrowly es
caped during the night two heavily armed bar
ges that were sent after him.
Much credit isdue Lieut. H. for his coolness
and courage, as to bis conduct and those with
him, is to be attributed not only the safe passage
of the bar, but the capture of the two schooners,
and the rescue of himself atld nine American
seamen from the hands of the Mexicans. The
steamer Princeton was immediately dispatched
upon the arrival of Lieut. Berryman to Tux
pan, and returned four days ago, having burned
the brig;
Her commander, officers and crew, with the
exception of those mentioned as saved, are pris
oners. The entire effects of officers and crew,
as well as tha vessel destroyed.
The following is a list of the vessels now com
posing the squadron off Vera Cruz: frigate Po
tomac; sloop St. Mary’s steamer Princeton ; brig
Sommers; schooners Flirt, Petrel, Bonita and
Refer, and storeship Relief. The Falmouth
sailed two days ago for Tampico. The Por
poise is off Alvarado and the Mississippi, Adams
ai.d Raritan, We presume, are at Pensacola.

fOH THE TIMES*
i< Al* I* IS VANITV.”
The fiat has gone forth, the sure decree
Os Israel’s Prophet , “ All is vanity
Thus spoke in olden times the holy sire
Inspired from on high ; he to whose voice
The assembled tribes were wont with joy to lend
A listening ear on Zion’s holy hill,
Lo ! yonder stdod in grand magnificence,
Gods consecrated shrine; her saCred wall
Had ceased to echo back the voice of praise—
Tiie city teem’d with thronging multitude—
Gathered afar from joyous Palestine ;
For the festal days had come, and grateful hearts
Were met,and long’d to hail their cherish’d prince.
King Solomon had spent the happy day,
Within the temple’s courts and now he stray’d
At evening hour, along the moonlit path,
Whose course meander’d beneath the garden
bowers,
That girt the royal dome : still he was sad
Though dew-drops sparkling on a thousand spires
That call’d him iord, flashed in the mellow light,
And trom ten thousand happy voices rose
Glad shofits that rung through all Jerusalem ;
Still in his joy] he Sighed ; and when the hiiis
That girt bright Cedrbri’s writers—heard no more
The deafening shotitStKat fSc'aled along her cliffs
When all beside had found a quiet home,
The king broke forth iti thoughts, now uncoiF
trolled—
In vain ye fading-fleeting joys,
Ye spread your charms tor me,
O Earth ! thy jewels all are toys
All ! “ All is vanity /”
Methoughtto meet at Fortune’s shrine
Some bright reality—
But the gilded court and halls that shine
Say wealth is “ vanity .”
I gazed on Woman’s cheek with pride
And watch’d her laughing eye,
But e’en her blushing smiles replied,
That Love is ‘.vanity.”
I gloried in a nation’s sway,
And loved with kings to rise,
But Hoitdr’s wreath soon died away,
For Fame is “ Vanity.”
Through pleasure’s garden bow’rs I’ve been
And tasted every tree,
And stamped on all her fruits I’ve seen
The name ot’ “vanity.”
There’s nothing true, there’s nothing sure,
Beneath yon ancient sky,
lu that bright world of spirits pure
All is not “vanity.”

Where Rio Grande’s turbid waves
Roll with a current strongly fleet,
We placed them in their de,sert graves,
Beneath the many-leafed muskeet.
No mother bends her weeping head,
Above the spot where they are laid ;
The south-wind as it murmurs by,
Hears not a sorrowing sister’s sigh.
The muffled drum, with measured tone,
. Beat the sole difge the mourners gave,
The trumpets mouth pealed forth alone,
The “ Requiescdt” o’er their grave.
And yet from death’s last agony,
Their relics rest as peacefully,
As though they had not closed their race,
Far from their father’s burial place.

Shall meet the foe our lessened ranks,
We’ll think of where they sleep afar,

By all your souls the dearest hold,
No Mexic’ plough shall run its share,
Amid their freeborn Georgian mould.

From the N. O. Daily Delta of Sept. 12.
DISGRCEFI’L RIOT AMONG THE
GEORGIA VOLUNTEERS.
Head-Quarters, .Ist Brigade 2d Division,
Camp Patterson Sept. 1, 1846.
Editors of the Delta :
Gentlemen—To guard agdinst exaggerated
reports of a most painful and melancholy occur
rence, which transpired at this post last evening,
dnd with a view of imparting correct informa
tion to those who have friends in either of the
regiment* interested, I have deemed it the part
of prudence to address you the following state
ment of facts, Which can be relied upon as being
strictly correct.
The steamer Corvette lay at the landing last
evening - , taking in the remaining companies of
Georgia Regiment of Volunteers for Camargo.
About half past 8 in the evening, a mast dis
graceful and violent encounter took place between
tween two companies attached to the Georgia
Regiment, on the boat—the Jasper Greens, com
manded by Capt. J. McMahon, and Kenesaw
Rangers. The melee was kept up for over half
an hour between these two companies, in which
they generally engaged on both sides, doing all
the injury they could with guns, knives and
clubs. Gen. Shields was absent at Matamoras,
Which left Col. E. D. Baker in command of this
Brigade. It is encampment was immediatly op
posite the boat, about a third of a mile from the
bank of the river. He had just returned with a
company of his regiment from the burial of one
of their number, and hearing the riot still pro
gressing on the boat, he. ordered this company
pany and one other to follow him to the boat,
with a view of quelling it. In his attempting
to do so, one of the officers attached to the Geor
gia companies engaged in the melee, at once at
tacked him With his sword. They had been en
gaged'but a few moments, when some coward
ly villian among the rioters fired a pistol at him,
which passed through the thick part of his neck
from behind into his mouth, knocking out one of
his teeth. Such is the report to me this morning,
from the Assistant Surgeon of his regiment.—
The wound is not this morning considered mor
tal, although last evening I did not suppose he
would be alive at this time. He is more comfor
table than couli be expected, and we now enter
tain iso doubt but what he wifi recover. In ad
dition to Col. Baker, Capt. Roberts was slightly
wounded by a pistol shot. Capt. Post, Acting
Commissary, slightly. Sergt. Helm, of company
C, badly wounded—a ball passifig directly
through his body. Corp’l. Ursary very slightly.
Priv. Dillon mortally wounded with S bayonet—
he probably will not live the day out. Privates
H. Martin, Stewart, Shepherd and Lee, all
slightly wounded. This constitutes, asfar as can
be ascertained, all who were bounded in the 3d
Regiment of Illinois Volunteers, and who acted
under the command of Col. Baker, in tiie effort
to suppress this disgraceful and unpardonable
riot. How- many are killed and wounded among
the two companies, who were engaged in the
ridt on the Covette, I cannot ascertain with suffi
cient certainty to venture any statements. But
one body lias as yet been seen by me, and several
are said to have floated down the river, that were
knocked overboard during the fight. The cause
of it was easily ascertained; whiskey was at the
bottom of the whole of it. The Jasper Greens
were an Irish company, from Savannah—the
other, a company of Americans.
A meeting of the Field and Staff Officers of
the two Illinois Regiments, and one Indiana
Regiment, who also had some men on the ground,
has been called, to meet at their quarters this
morning at 7 o’clock, when, without doub% a
court of inquirj will, be organized, and a rigid
investigation be had. The boat has been de
tained witli the Georgians on board, and will
remain here until the investigation is over, and
the course to be pursued with the rioters deter
mined upon. A strict guard was kept up during
the night’ although some ofthe rioters escaped
previous to the guard being stationed.
Dr. Wood and fir. Boal, df the Indiana Brig
ade, attended Col.-B'jker during the whole night,
to whom his friends are greatly indebted for
their kindness and attention.
Yours, with regard, D.
P. S.—l open this to say that it has just been
reported to me that tho man who shot Col. Ba
ker has-been discovered, and that the command
ing officer of the Georgia Regiment stands ready
to surrender him.

Winthrop, Kennebec co. Maine; Aug. 12, 1845.
Dear sir :—lf my testimony, iri favor of your
valuable Medicine will do you any good, or be
any service to the sick and afflicted, you are
welcome to make such use of it as you please.
Forseven or eight years I have not enjoyed per
fect health. Iu the Spring of 1844 1 had some
cough, 1 was then in Worcester county, Massa
chusetts, aud applied to a physician, who gava
me some medicine, but it did not relieve me. I
was not able to work during the summer. Last
fall,l was much worse, so reduced by coughing
and sweating nights, that I was obliged to take
my room. My Physician tried in vain to remove
my cough, ari l restore me to health,but 1 did not
expect to recover ; I however, concluded to try
:WI STAB’S BALSA II OF WILD
CHUBBY:
I was then troubled with very frequent spells of
coughing, night and day : before I had taken one
bottle, my cough was easier; I continued to take
the Medicine until I was able to leave my room?.
I have taken several bottles, and I think Wistar’s
Balsam of Wild Cherry has cured me ; at least I
feel as well, and as strong as I have for twelve
years. JOHN METCALF.

PRESENTMENTS.
TIIE Grand Jury selected for the connty og
Meriwether, at Augugt term, 1846, at the
close of their labors, make the following Pre
sentments :
As we, the Grand Inquest Os the county, by
tne oaths that we have taken, have been consti
tuted for the time being the guardians of the
county weal, it may not be considered an unau
thorized digression, if we should here take oc
casion, in behalf of our county as an integral part
of the State, to irialte some reference to . such
legislation as we consider deeply involves “the
best interests of the country. If this privilege is
allowable, we hereby avow it as the settled
conviction of our judgement, by all the princi
ples of natural and political justice, that some
law should be provided for the protection of the
property of married property which
she may bring into the coverture or marriage.
It would be travelling out of the space allowed
us to enter into a detailed course bf reasoning
in sucli a measure, but suffice it to say, in our
opinion, that all the arguments deduceable from
the principles of justice and sound sense, are in
its favor; The passage of such a law, properly
provided; Invades the interest of one, whilst at
the same tinfe it preserves from want, misery
and distress, the otherwise defencless and unpro
tected. We are sci entitely satisfied of the equit
able and happy results of such a law that al
though we are opposed to political commotions,
we nevertheless believe thdt the importance
and‘ t propriety ofsiichalaw should be investigated
and to this end, we respectfully our rep
resentatives in the next legislature to use their
influence to procure the passage of a law upon
the subject. We earnesly invite the attention of
the Grand Jurors of the respective Counties in
this State to agitate this subject, and to co-oper
ate with us in effecting an object so desirable.
In taking our leave of his Honor Judge Hilt.,
we'eannot speak too highly of the ability and
impartiality which he has manifested in the dis
change of his official duties, To the Solicitor
we tender our thanks for his attention and cour
tesy to this body.
IVe request that so much of our Present
ments as are of a public nature, be published in
the Columbus Tiroes and Enquirer.

BARNES’ PILE LOTION 7
THE FOLLOWING CERTIFICATE NEEIIS NO COX
• MIX"'.
REAS) FOB YOURSELF.
BARNES’ PILE LOTION.— This is to cer
tify, that in the year 1809,1 was afflicted
with a severe attack ofthe Piles, and suffered to
a great extent for a number ot years ; at times
the protuberances were as large as walnuts*
confined me to my bed for seyeral y/eeka at a
time. Since the year 1823 or ’24, a change took
pistce in the character., oi’rn-y disease; at that
time they changed, from the outward to the
bleeding Piles. . The discharges of blood in the
last eight or ten years have been so great as to
reduce.me very much; at times the bleeding has
beep sogreaf.and of such long continuance, that
.1 have been compelled to use cloths saturated
with fine salt, to stop the blood. I had an attack
of this kind during the last year, which was so se
: vere that I almost fainted from the loss of blood.
Frequently after an evacuation of the bowels, it’
has required a very considerable time, with the
assistance of salt, ice, &c., befere I have been
able to leave the place. I have tried almost ev
ery prescription which has .been recommended
to me by friends, aud baye had the best medical
attendance, bnt witjhjiitle or no effect; the vio
lence ofthe disease appeardto set their skill at’
defiance and the frequency of the attacks and the
extent of my suffering caused me to despair of ro
ceiving any. permanent benefit. Some time in.
the month of August last, Mr. John R. S. Barnes,
of Trenton, New Jersey, was informed of my
sufferings by Capt. Hingle, of the steamboat New
’Philadelphia, and sent me a bottle of biff Pile Lo
tion, which I used, and, to my great joy and sur-n
prise, it soon gave me relief.. After Ming it fire,
or six. weeks, the discharge of bleed had stoped,
and 1 discontinued its application. After some
time bad elapsed, the breeding slightly recom
menced, when Mr. Barnes sent me another, bot
tle, and having used ittwo-or three weeks, the
bleeding wa3 again stopped ; and from that time
to the present, ny health has continued to im
prove, and I now feel scarcely any inconvenience
from the- and my general health is good.
I consider myself as cured, and my health re
stored by the. use pf tips valuable remedy, ,*pL
cheerfully recommended it to all whoareafilic
ted with this painful disease. ;(
