TYLER'S AGUE AND FEVER PILLS.
NO CURE NO PAY.
A CERTAIN, safe and effectual core for
Ague and Fever, in all its varied forms. Al
so, an excellent Tonic in Dyspepsia, Palpitation
ofthe Heart, Loss of Appetite, Neuralgia, Nerv
ous and other diseases, which arise from a weak
and debilitated condition of the system.
These pills are prepared by Dr. G. K. Tyler, a
regularly educated physician, who from many
years experience, can confidently recommend
them as the best remedy for Ague and Fever ever
offered to the public ; having frequently tested
their great curative power upon those who had
long suffered-under the troublesome and danger
ous diseases.
Several eminent physicians who have obtained
a high standing for their successful treatment of
Aetre and Fever, use this preparation, and assert
that they have never known a single instance
where it was taken as directed, that it did not
effect a permanent and lasting cure.
These pills contain neither mercury or arsenic,
nor any thing that can injure the system—but on
the contrary,-may betaken where a medicine of
this kind is needed, not only with perfect safety,
but with the most decided advantage.

VEGETABLE MITI-BIU.IOUS FAMILY PIUS,
For the Cure of Billions Fever, Yellow Fever,
Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Inflam
matory, Nervous and Putrid Fever, Pain in
the Head, Side, Back and Stomach Inflam
mation of the Brain, Stomach, Lungs, Liver,
Kidneys, Throat and Chest, <s*c.
DR. GORDON’S PILLS arc truly the sick
man’s friend. No Traveller or Family
should be without them. Their timely adminis
tration will prevent much pain and suffering, and
save many valuable lives.
These Pills were compounded by Dr. Gordon
after years of study and careful observation upon
the nature of different medicines, and the effect
which they produce upon different constitutions
in various forms of disease. They have been ex
tensively used by some of our most eminent
Physicians, and by many private families for sev
eral years; and such has been the satisfaction
which they have given, that it is firmly believed
that the vegetable kingdom does not furnish any
materials for a purgative medicine, which sur
passes for general use,-those of which these pills
are composed. They dto’ not contain Calomel,
Mercury or any mineral preparation ; but are
composed entirely of concentrated vegetable
extracts, carefully prepared and so combined as
to be Certain, Safe, and Easy in their operation
—should* it be otherwise, the stomach and bowels
contain foul and acrid bilious matter —showing
great necessity for purgative medicine.
The Bowels being the principal channel t!i rough
which a great portion ofthe impurities ofthe sys
tem are discharged, it is evident that whatever
acts- beheficially on them must be conducive to
health.
If a physician is called to a patient, what is the
first thing done ? He prescribes a dose or two of
purgative medicines; and then, after a day or
two, if the patient is no better, he gives him an
other dose of purgative medicine, and so on ; do
ing some other little things—but the main reli
ance for a cure is upon the effect produced by
purgative medicines. Therefore if you are sick
delay not, but take a few doses of Dr. Gordon’s
Vegetable Family Pills, and be again restored to
health. For sale by

DR. WOOD’S SARSAPARILLA,
and
WILD CHERRY BITTERS,
For the permanent removal of all snelx
diseases as take their rise in an Im
pure Blood, Impaired Digestion,
Morbid state of tbe Liver and
Stomach, Weokness of tbe
Nervous System, and a
disordered Habit of
Constitution generally.
Dr. Wood’s Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry Bit
ters have already, by their substantial excellence,
won a degree of public favor and patronage,
which puts them beyond the need of recommen
dation. Being faithfully prepared of the most
excellent materials, they can be fully confided in
by all in need of a tonic, aperient or alterative
remedy. Sarsaparilla takes a high rank among
Physicians and all others in the list of curative
agents, and it is this fact which has rendered it so
deservedly popular over all other medicines of
the day. In Dr. IFood’s standard preparation, it
is warranted to be found in great purity and
strength, and gaining much by its union with the
IV ild Cherry, a tonic of the first order. This
happy combination is the only one ever made of
these article, and founded as it is on the best
medical principles, and their virtues extracted by
a rigid chemical analysis, experience has shown
its unusual power and efflcacy.
This preparation will be found on trial, to be a
sure and speedy remedy for the diseases enumer
ated above. They purify the blood, secure regu
lar digestion, promote a healthy action of the
Liver and Stomach, and strengthen the nerves,
at once securing health & vigor to the whole sys
tem. In all cases of despondency, arising from
Indigestion or Nervous irritation, they have been
used with remarkable success ; nor are they less
useful as a remedy for Headache, Flatulency,
Loss of Appetite, and a general prostration ofthe
system. At the same time, it must be stated, that
they arc neither violent nor at all dangerous in
their operation, securing as they do the desired
end, by a steady, regular and easy influence.—
Taken daily, in doses prescribed, they will be
found to operate in that gentle and salutary
manner, which is, in fact, their highest recom
mendation.
The following certificates, among many others
which have been received from the most respect
able sources, furnish satisfactory proof ofthe
value and efflcacy of this highly popular medi
cine.
Sandwich, Sept. 4,1844.
Mr. E. Thornton, Jr.
Dear Sir:—This is to certify, that my daughter
has been troubled with Dyspepsia for a number of
years, attended with almost constant headache
and other distressing symptoms which accompa
ny the disease. She visited Boston to avail.her
self of the advice of the justly celebrated physi
cians of that city, all to no purpose. By the soli
citation of a friend, I was induced to purchase a
bottle of Dr. Wood’s Sarsaparilla and Wild Cher
ry Bitters. Before taking one bottle she was re
lieved entirely of the headache, and after two or
three bottles,-the other symptoms entirely disap
peared. N B GIBBS.
New Bedford, August 19, 1844.
Dear Sir, —It is with much pleasure that I add
my testimonial to the many which you have, of
the value of your Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry
Bitters. I have used them in my family with the
happiest result—l have recommended them to
others, who have used them with equal success.
In one case in particular, of DYSPEPSIA of long
standing attended with severe Head Ache, which
had resisted all treatment, I was ENTIRELY
CURED by the use of these bitters. I shall al
ways take great in recommending them
to all persons suffering from any of the diseases
arising from Indigestion, Dyspepsia, and impuri
ties ofthe blood.
G MACOMBER.
New Bedford, Aug. 10, 1844.
Dear Sir, —I find Dr. Wood’s Sarsaparilla and
Wild Cherry Bitters all that you recommended
them to be, and take great pleasure in saying,
that I think them the best preparation of the
kind ever offered to the public. I have been
troubled for a longtime with JAUNDICE, and a
derangement of the Stomach, attended with head
ache and Vertigo, which was so bad at times that
I could not see, and think that I am entirely cur
ed by the use of these Bitters. I have used them
in my family, and would recommend them to
every one suffering from Jaundice, Indigestion,
and Head Ache. Signed,
JOHN BAYLIES.
From the New-Bedford Register.
Dr. Wood’s Sarsaparilla A Wild Cher
ry Bitters.
The respectability of gentlemen in this tow'n
and vicinity, who testify to the benefits, within
their personal knowledge, derived from the use
of this Compound of Sarsaparilla and Wild Cher
ry, is such as to put to rest all doubts as to the
value of these extracts to those suffering from
Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Indigestion, Headache, or
Scrofulous diseases. When a medicine has been
known to effect cures in certain cases, no recom
mendation is needed, other than a simple state
ment of facts. To those, then, who are liable to
any complaints for which the Sarsaparilla and
Wild Cherry Bitters are advertised as a remedy we
would say, do as others have done, and find re
lief in the way pointed out by the proprietor of
this highly popular compound.

A/illerstown, Perry county, Pa.
Dr. Swayne—Dear Sir.—ln March last I
caught a very heavy cold which settled on my
lungs, attended with a hard, dry cough, pains in
the side and breast, tightness and oppression in
the chest. I neglected taking any medicine, ex
cept the usual simple remedies, ..which persons
in indigent circumstances like myself generally
resort\to, when I became quite alarmed and ap
plied to my family physician. He treated me
several months, but I received no benefit; in
fact I gradually grew worse. 1 had profuse
night sweats, skin dry and parched no appetite,
suffered much with thirst, occasionally spitting
blood, until my physician, as well as my friends,
pronounced me going into a deep decline.—
Some of my friends recommended one medioine,
some another, and would show me long certifi
cates of purported cures, many of which I thought
suited to my case exactly, but from their effect
upon me I despaired ever recovering my health,
but gave myself up to die of that scourge of the
land
PULMONARY CONSUMPTION.
Fortunately at this time, a friend of mine pas
sing throogh our town, who resides in Harris
burg, called to see me, and recommended your
Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, and gave me
the name of Martin Lutz, your agent in Harris
burg. 1 reluctantly sent and got a bottle, which
relieved me ss much that 1 sent and got five
more, and I am happy to say lam now a sound
and hearty man. I attribute the cure entirely to
the use ofyour celebrated preparation, the Com
pound Syrup of Wild Cherry, and would earnest
ly recommend any person who is suffering with
and disease ofthe Lungs, to resort at once to your
medicine. I remain yours, very respectfully,
Richard Vonmeter.

Vonmeter; his statement is strictly true.

CAUTION.—AII preparations of Wild Cherry

mi CURE ton J
Deafness cured! :—scarpa’s compound
ACOUSTIC OIL, for the cure of Deafness,
Pains, and the discharge of matter from the Ears.
Also all those disagreeable noises, like the buz
zing of insects falling of water, whizzing of steam,
&c. &c., which are symptoms of approaching
Deofness, and also generally attendant with the
disease. Many persons who have been deaf for
ten, fifteen, and twenty years, and were obliged
to use ear-trumpets, have, offer using one or two
bottles, thrown aside their trumpets, being made
perfectly well. Physicians and surgeons highly
recommanding its use.
Read the following from the Philadelphia.—
Public Ledger.
“Have you ever tried itl —lf not, do not delay
another day, but send immediately; if you have
been one of the wise and prudent, and already
brought a bottle, the question is settled; you
have recorded your hearing. Scarpa's Oil for
Deafness never fails. It is the only medicine that
will cure. Thousands of deaf persons will give
their testimony in its fauor. The beauty of the
thing is that it cures you without producing any
pain.”
The Editor of the Philadelphia Forum thus
speaks of the medicine.
“ Valuable Article. —Scarpa’s Acoustic Oil is
said by those who have had occasion to use it, to
be an excellent medicine in cases of deafness
arising from colds or other causes. We know
a young lady who not long since wis almost im
mediately relieved by it, and the certificate of
Mr. Daniel Graeff is an unanswerable testimony
of its efficacy.”
And again from the Editor of the Morning
Chronicle:
“Important for the Deaf. —We commend to
the particular attention of those desirous of hav
ing their hearing restored, Scarpa's Oil for
Deafness. We hear it highly spoken of by
those who have used it, and of course known its
value.”
Here is something worth attending to, coming,
as it does, from a man so extensively known as is
Mr. Graeff, both in the city and country:
“I hereby certify, that from the effects of a
severe cold last winter, I became partially deaf,
attended with very disagreeable noises, like
ringing ofbells, fcc., which gradually increased,
until I completely lost the hearing of one ear—
when I was induced to use Scarpa’s Acous
tic Oil, and am now happy to say, that with
the use of one bottle of the above medicine, I
can hear as well as ever, and all disagreeable
noises have entirely disappeared. Any further
information respectiag my case, will be gladly
given, by calling on me at 45J North Fifth street,
near Race..
DANIEL GRAEFF.
Philadelphia., Nov. 11, 1843.”

From the Albany Daily Knickerbocker.
West Troy, June 3, 1844.
This is to Certify that I, Willard Jenks, pro
prietor es the West Troy Exchange Hotel, hav
ing been afflicted- with deafness in one ear for
the last twenty years, and in the other for the
last year, so that it was impossible for me to
hear the loudest voice, and after trying various
remedies without improving ffly hearing in the
least,-F was induced to try Scarpa’s Compound
Accoustie Oil for the elite of Deafness, and it ir
with great gratification l am enabled to state that’
it has perfectly restored my hearing, and I will

Asthmas, Raising of Blood, and all affections of
the Breast and Lungs, leading to a consumption,
that ever come before the public ; they have al
so been used in severe cases of Cholict, Cramps,
Influenzas. Whooping Coughs. Croups and Worms,
with most wonderful success ; it also opens the
excretory vessels, which prevents a variety of
complaints. Tbey have been proved a Healing
Balm and genuine Restorative in all the above
complaints, and there is reason to believe they
have snatched many suffering fellow creatures
from an untimely grave; as they have made
cures on subjects thought past recovery. A sin
gle bottle will be sufficient to satisfy any person
that it is a valuable medicine, and not surpassed
by any other now in use ; and many times, if
taken in common colds, it might save heavy bills
for medical attendance, and severe turns of sick
ness, if not death.
CERTIFICATES:
Mr. John J. Dayis :
Having sold a number of dozen of Doct. House
man’s German Cough Drops, as prepared by J. J.
Davis, of Hudson, to my customers, and also
having used a number of bottles in my family, I
am fully prepared to recommend them as a valu
able medicine for Coughs and Colds, and believe
that every family ought to be constantly supplied
with them, in order to use them in the first stages
of a cold. ETHAN S. FOX, of the firm of Clark
& Fox. Athens, N. Y. 1837.
Mr. John J. Davis,
This is to certify, that I have been afflicted for
twenty years, with a cough so severe,- that I had
been unable to attend to business, at times.—
Having made a trial of Dr. Houseman’s German
Coagh Drops, prepared by J. J. Davis, I have
found that in using but three bottles, I am nearly
cured of the cough. I have used the same in my
family, and am well satisfied that they are a cure
for Coughs and Colds. The greatest relief I ever
had by the use of medicine, for a cough or coldy
was by three doses ofthe above drops, and I do
recommend them to all who are afflicted with
such as colds and coughs.
DAVID TRAVER.
Hudson, November 13, 1837.
Mr. John J. Davis,
From the use of the German Cough Drops,
afflicted with a severe cold, attended with a bad
cough, I feel justifiable in saying that I experi
enced great benefit from them.
CORNELIUS WHITE.
Hudson, January 13, 1837.
Mr. John J. Davis,
I am one of those who are willing to acknowl
edge a favor received, and award merit to whom
soever it is due; and in this it is due to Dr.
Houseman’s German Cough Drops, prepared and
sold by John J. Davis, of the City of Hudson ;
which drops, I can safely say, have proved to
my satisfaction, as a remedy for colds, coughs,-
and weakness, which I was subject to for some
time past. The above drops I can recommend to
the public : This is indeed a medicine designed
for family use ; its powers are unequaled in the
cure of the Croup, Asthma and Whooping Cough,
as it will seldom fail in all the above described
complaints to procure immediate relief and ease.
I am sir, your obedient servant,
ISAAC BODINE.
New York, May 5, 1837.
Mr. John J. Davis,
This is to certify, that I have been for a long
time afflicted with the Asthma, and by the use of
Dr. Houseman’s German Cough Drops, I have
been much relieved for two years past; and feel
justified in recommending them to others afflicted
with the same complaint.
JAMES PHILIPS.
Hudson, November 15,1837.
Mr. John J. Davis,
I have sold Houseman’s German Cough Drops,
as prepared by J. J. Davis, of Hudson, and have
used the same in my family, and I am fully pre
pared to recommend them as a valuable medicine
for Colds, Coughs, &c. and have always used them
in the early stages of colds.

INTERESTING STATEMENTS.
The following letter from our correspondent
in Europe contains some very important facts.
We vouch for his integrity. His own letters are
the best vouchers fpr liis intelligence. We beg
our readers to con this letter over a first and a
second time. Extraordinary as those develop
ments are, we cannot doubt their correctness.—-
.They relate to one of the greatest discoveries of
the age, in which vi e are particularly concerned
—to the potato pestilence, and the consumption
of com—another subject which, of course, deep
ly interests us; to railroads, and to the supply of
iron—a third theme also which touches one of
our most important articles of supply.
1. The combustibility of prepared cotton. —lt
appears to have been discovered about the same
time by two chemists of Europe. It seems de
stined to supersede gunpowder—more powerful
in its explosion—heating aftd fouling the gun
much less, and probably endangering less the
lives of those who fire the gun, from its danger
of bursting. It is much more efficient and eco
nomical, because it is four times as strong, and
costs much less to make it; and it is so simple
in its preparation that it can be manufactured
by the most common operatives. If there be
any truth in these statements, the discovery in
troduces anew era in the progress of improve
ment. It opens anew demand and new mar
kets for the consumption of one of our most valua
ble staples. This is another decided advantage
which it presents to the United States. The
question comes up, whether, with these experi
ments before us, so directly vouched for, as they
are, by one of our most intelligent citizens, it
docs not become the duty of the War and Navy
Departments to investigate the subject, and to
institute e series of experiments as sebn as they
can communicate with the authors or the pa
tentees. We say patentees, because we under
stand that the first step has already been taken
to take out a patent right in our Patent Office.
Improbable as these ex'periments appear on
the first blush, yet we must recollect the spirit
of the age itself in which we live. What won
derful improvements have burst upon us within
the last thirty years—the virtues of steam ap
plied to such a variety of purposes: to the steam
boat (under the auspices of the American Ful
ton,) and to the flying car, and the thousand
forms in which it is employed upon manufac
tures, arc sufficient’alone to'prepare our imagin
ations for the other prodigies of Ate a‘ge. The
invention of the magnetic telegraph, (from the
inventive genius of another American, Morse,)
which seems almost to annihilate time and space
themselves, strips incredulity itself of almost eve
ry excuse to dispute any innovation. Our own
’ teotmtry, too,, is singularly favored in these
changes. The potato decays ip Europe, and
this failure increases the demand for our corn.—
A German chemist discovers anew virtue in cot
ton, and this creates anew demand for our sta
ple production.
2. The information which our corrcspendcnt
gives us ors the potato pestilence confirms
everything that we have heard about the proba
ble extent of the demand for our own bread
stuffs.
3. The statistics which he furnishes upon the
immense extent of the railroads in Europe, and
the demand which they will create for the pro
ductions of the iron mines of England and
Wales, are calculated to bear directly upon the
iron business and the present tariff of the United
States. If it be true that the railroads which
are about to be erected will absorb, or nearly so,
all the iron which may be dug out of the Brit
ish mines; and that the present supply from
those mines falls short of the supply of four
years ago, then what danger have our ironmon
gers to apprehend from our competition vfcith
the foreign iron? But we detain our readers’
too long from the letter of our correspondent.
[From our European correspondent.]
No. V.
Fraskfort-ox-the-Maixe,
September 30, 1846.
Dear Sir : One of the most wonderful scien
tific discoveries of modern time has been exploit
ed here and at Basle, in Switzerland, within the
last few weeks, Professors Baltger of the former
place, and Schonbcin of the latter, simultan
eously, by a similar course of experimenting,
have invented a method of preparing raw cot
ton which will undoubtedly eventuate in the dis
continuance rs the use of gunpowder ! The
article which they prepare has been submitted to
many severe ordeals, and its vast superiority for
all explosive purposes, over gunpowder, is ac
knowledged by the first chemists and military
officers in Germany. I can scarcely believe roy
own senses when I witness an exhibition of its
extraordinary properties.
Upon my arrival in this city I‘ vtes invited by
a friend, a distinguished member of the German
Diet, to dine with him, and not declining his hos
pitality, I met with and was presented to Pro
fessor Baltger, who - it is but pioper to remark is
distinguished for his attainments, and who has
charge of the public laboratory as a chemical
lecturer. Before the separation of the party,
Professor B. took from each of his waistcoat
pockets a‘paper containing some raw cotton; a
small portion of that which was in one he pla
ced upon a sheet of white paper, and near it
some gunpowder upon another sheet. He touch
ed them at the same moment with the burning
end of a cigar, and with the quickness of the
lightning’s blast, the cotton was consumed with
out smoke or odor, or ashes, or even the slight
est stain upon the snow white sheet of fc6lseap;
while the ignition of the gunpowder seemed to
be slow, although ol the best quality, by which
the paper was burnt and colored, and the room
filled with smoke. He then took a small quan
tity of gunpowder and placing it upon paper,
entirely covered- it with prepared cotton from
the other paper. Touching the cotton with the
blaze of a match, it exploded without burning
the gunpowder! Subsequently, at my apart
ments, he exploded cotton upon the palm of my
hatidj without my feeling the sensation of heat,
such was the remarkable rapidity of its igniting.
A short time, it is stated by the inventors, is
only required for the preparation cf the article,
and the process is so exceedingly simple that it
can be manufactured by c&rmnon laborers, and
without any danger whatever of combustion.—
It can be fit for use in-a few hours after the cot
ton is taken from the bale, and without the aid
of machinery; and it may be thoroughly sa
turated with water withoot affecting its proper
ties injuriously. As soon as re-dried, it is again
fit for use. There is nothing to apprehend to it
from its spontaneous combustion, nor will it ig
nite by Iriction in its transportation, or in the
loading of fire-arms, or become inflamed under a
temperature of 200° Clesius. It will catch fire,
either from a blaze or a spark.
The faet haA bteen ascertained from repeated
experiments, that the forty-eighth part of an
ounce of the prepared cotton, will propel a bullet
fronvan American rifle as far and as fast as the
twelth part of an ounce Os gunpowder. The
sixteenth part of an ounce will drive a three
quarter ounce ball a distance of sixteen hundred
paces! Moreover, the barrel never requires
cleaning. Forty shots vrithout intermission have
been made, and without any perceptible accu
mulation of filth, while the gun was throughout
entirely free from heat In firing a 3-pounder,
the result was the same in this respect The
experiments in blasting rocks with- prepared cot
ton have also been eminently successful. At
Basle a large block of granite, r: casuring 240
cubic feet, was blown up by four ounces, which
could not have been effected with less than two
pounds of superior gunpowder. -
. ———i ■■■■■ ■M.r
I Last week the |ower of the article was tested
at a meeting of the “ British Scientific Associ
ation”—an association composed of the most
profoundly learned individuals in Europe -and
they were amazed with what was aceempliidiyd.
Sir J. Hcrschel took occasion to remark, Pro
fessor Schonbcin being -present, that “the
covery in the next generation might man
kind with the wildest powers. The. inventor
was a Titan who could tear up the rdCks, and
almost call down the lightiiing^.*^
I understand that 126 11. of cotton in the
state in which it is found in the bale, when pro
perly prepared, will weigh 165 lb*., and that
even here, where the staple is much dearer than
in the United States, the article will cost con
siderably less than gunpowder. What the oth
er materials are, used in the manufacture, will of
course remain a secret until patents are secured
among the various nations.’ One has already
been taken out for Great Britain; and the States
of the Germanic confederation have through tho
Diet, consented to give 100,000 florins merely
for the right of preparing it for the army, pro
vider! a commission, which has been instituted
to test it in every conceivable way, shall report
favorably. This experiment will be made at
Mavcnce in a few days.
The proportion of the ingredients in gunpow
der necessarily vary to a considerable degree a.
but that of good quality may tie composed of
76 parts of nitre, 15 of charcoal, and 9 of sul
phur. So that we are dependent upon foreign
countries for eighty-fve Aundretk of the ma
terial used in the manufacture of all the gun
powder we consume J —a fact which is not gene
rally nor sufficiently known by our countrymen.
By the vigilance of that sterling patriot an{
faithful officer, Col. Talcott, of the Ordnance
Department, who, ycalr after year, acting upon
the principle “in peace prepare for war,” has
been accumulating a stock of saltpetre, we are
happily prepared with an abundance of the ma
terial to carry us through a long and ardoua
contest, should ttee ever be involved in one, with
any nation. But with the
our dependence upon the remainder of the world
ceases for the articles essential to defence or to
the prosecution of hostilities; while the depen
dence of other powers and states upon us in
crease in the sabre ratio. Moreover, the in
creased production of our chief staple, and the
consequent diminution in value, has, for the last
few years, scarcely afforded renumerating prices to’
our planters. Should the prepared cotton super
sede guopovrifef crtfirtjy, anew market will bo
created for any redundancy of yield, and an ab
solute consumption occur. Two or three hun
dred thousand bales, at a moderate calculation',
will be burnt up annually. Mr. Grove a cele
brated chemist of England, commenting upon’
the importance of the discovery, says: “It is ne
cessary to mix a- combustle substance with an
other substance which will bring forth a suffi
cient quantity of oxygen to catch fire, whereby,’
under a certain temperature, the whole will ex
plode. These two substances are contained in
the gunpowder; bdt evon iff the best of this are
tide that is manufactured, a part of it remain a’
after explosion, on which account fire-arms tee
quire cleaning after being discharged of their
contents. The invention of Professor Schon
bein is without this fault, while the power of
its explosion is twice as great as that of gut*’
powder.”
Germany is distinguished, above other coun
tries, for many ofthfe most important discoveries
which have been made since the Christian era.
This has resulted from the character of the peo
ple, who have ever delighted in the study of the
sciences, ariß who have endeavored, persevere’
ingly and patiently, to make them useful for
the practical purposes of life. To a monk -of
Cologne—a city not 100 miles distant from this’
—the credit belongs of having furnished the na
tions of the earth with gunpowder. Five cen
turies have elapsed since that period, and riotr
withstanding ttote millions of individuals which
it has been instrumental in cutting down, it has
exercised a salutary influence in civilizing and 1
bettering the condition of the human race. The
prepared cotfoh, if*it'Ec not over estimated, is
destined to drive it altogether out of use, &. to ex
tend the power ofliberaMnstitutions, and through 1
them,Christianity, to the most remote and benight-’
ed regions of the earth. America will be so forti
fied in her strength, as to assume a wholly in
vincible position with reference to other powers
and States; aftd actuated by the noblest of all
desires, to spread her principles and to establish
and perpetuate universal peace, the place a*-”
signed her is chief of hatioxs.
“Wherever the bright *un of heaven shall shine,
Her honor and the greatness of her name
Shkll be,'and make new nations; she shall flour*
ish,
And, like a mountain cedat, reach her branches
To all the plains about her.”
While speaking of the inventions of Gor*’
mans, I cannot overlook that which gave birth
to the “art of all arts”—printing. I have been a
repeated visiter; during my present sojourn herd/
to the library. It contains a valuable collection
of rare books: among others, and the first, a co
py of the first edition of the Bible, published
by FaustUs in It is one of the seventeen’
copies which were originally printed. When I
looked upon its sacred pages, what reflections
and inquiries are awakened ! At the beginning
of the fourteenth century the cost of a Bible
was 408 florins, (about one hundred and sixty-’
three dollars;) ahd sif'fli was then the cheapness
of labor—two cents per city—that the earnings
of twenty-seven years were required to piirchabg
a copy ! Now. particularly in our own country,
it is within the rca*h qf every hand that is dis
posed to open its lids, free to such as are in indi-’
gent circumstances, and at a low price to those
who have the ability to buy.
The potato plagJe, which has caused the
food of 4,000,000 of the Irish people to perish,
has also been most blighting to the hopes of the
peasantry of the continent. In some district'*
of Germany which I have visited, whole fields
have been utterly destroyed; added to which, in’
..every direction around tins plaie, the grain
drops are wofiflly deficient. The yield in the
central States of Germany is not mdre than’
three-eighths of an average one, and all eyes ore
turned to our country—to its abundant surplus
—for the rtcans of sustaining humanity under
such afflicting dispensations, liarge orders have
already been sent out"for breadstuffs, and they
will be followed by others. Wurtemburg and
Baden, actuated by a desire tosee their subjects lib
erally provided for, although members of the Zoll-
Vcrrin, have issued ordinances for the free ad-*
mission of fcrcign’grain until the Jst of May ;
thus practically carrying out the principle com-’
menced in Great Britain—and under whose be- ’
nign influence our most remote wilderness will”
ultimately “blossom as the rose,” of “ total and
immediate repeal.” In France, the subject most !
discussed, next to the Montpensier marriage, is
that of free trade. It is advocated with great abili*’
ty by the Debats, the Epoque, and the Courier
Francais. Upon the meeting of the Chambers,*
it is confidently expected that efficient 1 demon-’
st rat ions will he made for an immediate change’’
in the commercial policy of the kingdom.
The Debats states that a ministerial despatch,
which reached Cherbourg on the 19th instant,’
commanded that the steamships Ulloa and Da-’
ricn, of 450-horse power each, should be immer*
diately prepafed'for sea, in order so constitute a 1
packet-service between New York and Cher-’
bourg! This is most unexpected news; and ir*
contributes to strengthen the opinion which I
expressed in a former letter, that at no distant 1
period steamships would leave New York daily
for European ports. Cherbourg is the onjy
good channel port of France. Indeed, no other ’
can be at all times entered by steamers, altho’
its business is quite inconsiderable and its popu- ’
lation small. It is about five houts* run by
steam from the Isle of Wight, and is to ‘connect
with Paris by railway.- As the spell oT the
entente eordicle has been broken, J it .is ‘ apparent ;
to my mind'that'Eouis Philippe will avail him-’
seif of every means at his bestowal to multiply
his mail and commercial intercourse with the
United States, and to regain- that rldvated poai- *
tion in their esteem which, during the last two’
years, be has so inconsiderately in no small de
gree forfeited.
Asa crumb of comfort to the iron interest in’
Pennsylvania and elsewhere, which great pain*
have been taken to create an impression that’
the late tariff act has effectually prostrated, J
deam it but just to make an extract from a re-’
port recently made upon the iron trad4, by ir.
I*. Porter, esq,, of the boa>d of trad;, and pscsir*
