” TYLER’S AGUE AND FEVER PILLS.
NO CUKE NO PAY.
A CERTAIN, sate aud effeetna] tare for
JT jL Ague aud Fever, in all its varied forms. Al
so, an excellent Tonic in Dyspepsia, Palpitation
of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Neuralgia, Nerv
ous and oilier diseases, which arise from a weak
and debilitated condition of the system.
The# ? pills are prepared by Dr. U. K. Tyler, a
regularly educated physician, who from many
years experience, can confidently recommend
them as the best rcmeJy for Ague and Fever ever
otfered to the public ; having frequently tested
their great curative power upon those wiio had
long suffered under the troublesome and danger
ous diseases.
Several eminent physicians who have obtained
a nigh standing tor their successful treatment of
Ague and Fever, use this preparation, and assert
that they have never known a single instance
wher it was taken as directed, that it did not
effects permanent and lasting cure.
Thest- pills contain neither mercury or arsenic,
nor any thing that can injure the system —but on
the contrary, may be taken where a medicate or
th:a k'*J is needed, not only with perfect safety,
but with the most decided advantage.

DR. GORDON’S
VEGETABLE ANTI-BILLIOUS FAMILY PILLS,
For the Cure of Billions Fever, Yellow Fever,
Remittent and Intermittent Fevers , Inflam
matory, Nervous and Putrid Fever, Pain in
the IPad, Side, Bark and Stomach ; Inflam
mation of the Brain, Stomach, Lungs, Liver,
Kidneys, Throat and Chest, d*c.
DR. GORDON'S PILLS are truly the sick
mail'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 vears ol'study and careful observation upon
th nature of different medicines, and the effect
which the v 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 vears; and su;h has been the satisfaction
which thev have given, that it is firmly believed
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 dc not contain Calomel,
Nlercurv or aty mineral preparation ; but arc
composed entirely of concentrated vegetable
extracts, c ircfully prepared and so combined as
to be Certain , Safe, and Easy in their operation
—should it be otiierwise, the stomach and bowels
contain foul aud acrid bilious matter chowing
great necessity for purgative medicine.
The Bowels being the principal channel th rough
which a great portion ofthe impurities of the sys
tem arc discharged, it is evident that whatever
acts bcuelicialiy on them must be conducive to
Lealth.
If a physician is called to a patient, what is the
first thing done ? He prescribes a dose or two oi
purgative medicines; and then, after a day or
two, if the patient is no better, lie gives aim an
other dose of purgative medicine, and so on ; do
ing some other LU*e things —but the main reli
ance for a cure is upon tie effect produced by
purgative medicines. Therefore it you are sick
tielav not. but take a few doses of Dr. Gordon’s
Vegetable Family Pillj, and be again restored to
health. For sale bv _

HIGH SCHOOL.
THE next Academical year will commence,
January 4th, 1847. The school building,
with its appurtenances, has been leased, for the
period ot ten years, to the teachers, whose daily
study and toil, shall be devoted to the great and
permanent interests of the school. While our
system of instruction will claim no affinity w ith
those methods, which propose to save the pupil,
the labor and difficulty of hard study; still no
effort, on our part, shall be wanting to aid the
pupil in laying the foundation of a thorough edu
cation. Every student shall be taught to dig
among the roots, as well ai to admire the fair tree
of knowledge.
The government and discipline of the school
will be efficient arid adapted to secure the obedi
ence and good ofthe pupil. Students will be un
der the general supervision of the Instructors,
no less when away from the school grounds, than
during school hours. Their habits and morals
will always be guarded with vigilance, and a
punctual attendance on the Sabbath, at someone
ofthe churches, in the village, will be required.
Gur town is too generally noted for the quiet, in
telligence and morality of its inhabitants, for its
salubrious clime and beautiful scenery, to need
any comment.
From the flourishing condition ofthe school,
the past year, as well as the uniform satisfaction
oi its patrons, we would make our appeals to.an
enlightened public, and most respectfully invite
the attention of those who have sons or wards to
educate, to this Seminary.
Board may be obtained in good families at rea

HAMILTON FEMALE SEMINARY^
THE undersigned, citizens of Hamilton,
take great, pleasure 111 announcing to Parents
residing in Harris and the adjoining counties,
who wish to have their’daughters thoroughly in
structed, morally and intellectually, that they
have secured the services of Miss Mary A. and
Miss Amanda C. Wilson, for the ensuing scho
lastic year. In addition to the facilities usually
enjoyed at other institutions for the acquirement
of knowledge, the Hamilton Female Seminary
will afford many that are peculiar. Not the least
of these advantages, in the opinion ofthe sub
scribers, is that it will be under tiie exclusive con
trol of young ladies, who are sufficiently experi
enced, and who are deficient in no qualification
requisite to a faithful and judicious performance
ofthe task they will undertake. It will be ob
served by a glance at the list of studies pursued
in the different departments, that no useful branch
of education is omitted, and that the pupils of
this Seminary will have no cause to lament the
inadequacy ofthe Course. But besides this,the
Misses Wilson have exhibited to the subscribers
the most satisfactory testimonials oftheir exalted
moral worth, amiability of manners, and their
competency to impart a full knowledge ofthose
sciences included in the subjoined course ofin
struction. Parents who reason correctly upon
the subject of education, will estimate very high
ly these unrivaled advantages.

commercial interest oPthat portion of the City;
and they being very desirous of its removal.—
And whereas, those residing andjowning proper
ty near the junction of Broad and Crawtord
streets, are not only willing it should be located
in that neighborhood, but will pay a large por
tion of the expense of building it there, thereby
opening the great thoroughfare from Alabama
up through Broad street. And whereas a large
number of owners of real estate in a block be
low the present location of the Market do net
feel willing and vv 11 not rebuild upon their lots
without that obstruction to trade is removed,

should be done—

Market House in this city be changed from the
junction of Broad and St. (JlairSts. to Bioad,im

THE SONG OF STEAM.
The following fine Poem, by George W. Cut
ter ofCovington, Kentucky. Blackwood has pro
nounced “the best lyric of the century.”
Harness me down with your iron bands ;
Be sure ofyour curb and rein ;
For I scorn the power of your puny bands,
As the tempest 6corns a chain !
How I laughed, as I lay concealed from sight
For many a countless hour,
At the childish boast of human might*
And the pride of human powir 1
When I saw an army upon the land,
A navy upon the seas,
Creeping along, a snail-like band
Or waiting the wayward breeze ;
When I marked the peasant faintly reel
With the toil which he faintly bore,
As he feebly turned at the tardy wheel,
Or tugged at the weary oar ;
When I measured the panting courser’s speed,
The flight of the carrier dove,
As they bore a law a king decreed.
Or the lines of impatient love ;
I could not but think how the world would feel
As these were outstripped afar,
When I should he bound to the rushing keel,
Or chained to the flying car J
Ha, lia, ha ! they’ve found me at last
They invited me forth, at length,
And I rushed to my throne with a thunder blast
And laughed in my iron strength!
Oh, then ye saw a wondrous change
On the earth and ocean wide,
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind or tide.
Hurrah, hurrah ! the waters o’er
The mountains-steep decline ;
Time—space—have yielded to iny power—
The world-—the world is mine ?
The rivers the sun bath earliest blest,
Or those where his beams decline ;
The giant streams of the queenly West
And the orient floods divine,
The ocean pales where’er I sweep,
To hear my strength rejoice,
And the monsters of the briny deep,
Cower, trembling at my voice.
I carry the wealth and the lord of wealth,
The thoughts ofthe god-like mind ;
The wind lags after my flying forth,
The lightning is left behind.
In the darksome depths of the fathomless mine
My tireless arm doth play,
Where the rocks never saw the sun’s decline,
Or the dawn ofthe glorious day.
I bring earth’s glittering jewels up
From the hidden caves below,
And I make the fountain's granite cup
With a crystal gush overflow I
I blow the bellows, I forge the steel,
In ail the shops oftrade ;
I hammer the ere and turn the wheel,
Where my arms of strength are made,
I manage the furnace, the mill, the mint—
I carry, 1 spin, I weave ;
And all my doings, 1 put in print,
On every Saturday eve.
I’ve no muscles to weary, no bones to decay,
No bones to be ‘-laid on the shelf,”
And soon I intend you may ‘go and play,’
While I manage the world bymvself.
But harness me down with your iron bands,
Be sure of your curb and rein ;
For I scorn the strength of your puny hands,
As the tempests scorn the chain !
A Turin's Match lately “came off” at
New Orleans for five dollars a side. It contin
ued, according to the advertiser, for thirteen
hours; the rivals being a Frenchman and a Ken
tuckian. The bystanders and judges were all
talked to sleep, and when they walked up in the
morning they found the Frenchman dead and
the Kentuckian whispering in his ear.
Os course the truth of the rumor is not vouch
ed for, but we are happy to learn that the talk
ing match was confined to the male sex f
Fictitious Sxjrpatht. —Letter writers are
endeavoring to excite sympathy for the Mexi
cans by enlarging upon the horrors of war.—
We are told that a number of females were kill
ed at the attack on Tobasco, but we think it will
appear that they all left the town when the fir
ing commenced. There is little charity and
less justice in siding with the enemy, when the
sympathy of the country is due to our own peo
ple.

From the Washington Union, 16th Nov.
OUR MILITARY OPERATIONS.
\\ e have taken occasion from time to time, to
announce the determination of the government
to proseedte the war with vigor. Sev
eral of the federal journals have seen fit upon
various occasions to the course of
events, and to show at once lliPfr la.-hnoss ami
their ignorance by attempting to describe he fore
hand the particular line of operations übout to be
adopted. Same ofe predations, we ha\e
noticed in such a manner as probably to prevent
any of our readers from being misled by them.
For ourselves, we deem it altogether inexpedient
to publish to the world, and of course to our ene
mies, what we may knovf, or conjecture as to
the probable movtftients or oar flt its or our ar-
tines. ,
The Mexican organ iti this city, eager as it lias
shown itself to he, to do anything which may se
cure the inisCarriage and defeat of our military
opeiations, in order by such a result of the war
to create political capital for its party against the
administration, is evidently annoyed and chag
rined, to find us making no disdosur. s which
will serve its put pose of playing into the hands
of the public enemy. In this let-ling, it puts
torth this morning a petulant, find ill-manner* <!
übulition, which closes with the following sen*
tepee:
“But it seems to us the official editor ought to
he put under the same restraint, a;hd, in a matter
of such infinite moment, not to he permitted to
sport with the sensibilities and interests of the
Frcsident’scohstitue.n’ts, by heedlessly throwing
out crude suggestions in regard to matters of im
mediate ahd infinite consequence to any of hi*
iellow citizens, concerning which he appears
(saying the least of it j to he either indifferently
informed or unable to make himself understood.”
The Intelligencer will speak with a better
grace -of “restraint” when Ts shall have been ft*
ble, so far to bridle its owh party rancor as to
refrain from the expression of views, which it linn
itself heretofore stigmatised “moral Irene on'*
It may be permitted to rebuke us as “ sporting
with sensibilities and interests” ofthe country,
after it shall have itself learned not to betray
those interests to the public foe, and not to out
rage all those “sensibilities” which h'ave their
origin in sentiments of pdiriotielii. And yet tho
Intelligencer has now so long pursued this course,
that it may as well continue to the end. For if,
“Retreating were ns tedious on.”
It can scarcely sink lower in the estimation of
the country. It is new known every whero aa
the systematic organ of influences, foreign and
hostile to its own country. Its federal friends iu
New York have of late, made a great and special
effort to di grace their purty, and they have, in a
large measure, succeeded. But the traitorous
course ofthe intelligencer in respect to our for
eign relations, and its suicidal folly in attempting
to render a stealthy arid underhand aid to the
abolitionists, have so completely destroyed all
confidence at once in its judgment, and in its
patriot!-nr, that even the federalists of New York
must soon stand aloof from it, us nil unsalc and
discreditable ally.
With regard to our course, the Intelligencer is
sadly gnd stupidly, or wilfully in the wrong. We
have never given any contradictory indications
upon the Mexican War. From its declaration
we have been in favor of decided energy of ac
tion and promptitude of fnoyeinent. Though
the administration has offered the olive branch iu
the most favorable spirit, yet has it never waver
ed in a vigorous prosecu’ion of the war. It declin
ed the idea of mediation. It has declared against
any armistice unfil a treaty has been made and
ratified. Victory has waited upon our arms, and
reflected a glory upon the country of which any
nation may he proud. Tlirt-e is no faltering in
the energy of the administration in the great ob
jects it has in view—though, of course, every
iicw development ?s to t e duly considered, and
ail the information which it receives is to be ade
quately weighed. The National Intelligencer
may go upon the house tops and proclaim what it
suspects to be the plan of operations in the ears
of the enemy. The Mex can organ in Wash
ington, may write paragraphs which are to he
copied into the Mexican organ abroad. The
National Intelligencer may give the necessary
cue to the “ Diario’’ of Mexico. It may point
out the part, at which if speculates that it is our
purpose to strike, in order that it may call upen
Salas or Santa Anna to setfd reinforcements to
its relief. The National Intelligencer may go
on, and discredit our treasury by discouraging
the loan—and try to paralyze the capitalists even
in their desire to invest their funds in profitable
United .States stock, while Santa Anna raise s
the wind, not by loan, hut by seizing two mil
lions ofdullars, of English merchants, under a
conducta on its way from the mines to Tampico.
The Intelligencer may indulge these factious,
anti-American feelings, which it was the first to
denounce in the war of 1812. But we cannot
imitate its example. Wc stood up for the coun
try (hen, and we stand up for it non’ —with all
our hearts and all our energies. We can
not give “aid and countenance"’ to the foreign
enemy. We would not inform them of tho
plans of the campaign, if we were acquainted
with them. But we know, that the vigor with
which the war has been prosecuted lias already
produced achievements of the most brilliant char
acter, and the most commanding in their results.
Our arms have already wrought prodigies of
valor, and whatever obstacles we may find in the
localities of the country or the coast, yet the en
terprise, the energies, and the enthusiasm of a
free people, (and enthusiasm is now the word
tor our gallant navy,) will subdue every impedi
ment. One ol our worst enemies is at home—
in that factious opposition of party, which multi
plies every difficulty, and attempts to damp the
spirit of our own countrymen. But wc repeat
what we said on Friday evening, the federal
press is only doing mischief by the course which
it is pursuing. It but deceives kefee ci its own
party, and deludes the enemy.
TIIE “HRITISII PRESS” A XD THE
“BRITISH PARTY,*”
We publish not without some teluctanee,
(says the Union,) the following letter, which
has been placed at our disposal by the writer of
it—a gentleman ot high respectability. It points
only to a particular press in relation to a matter
upon which we have often commented, and in
which the course of other Federal organs Las
been equally censurable. Every true American
will lament the facts in reference to the Na
tional Intelligencer which it sets forth :
“Georgia, 23d Nov. IS-lU.
“Last June and July I was in the city of Paris,
and felt much mortification at remarks I would
hear in Galignaai’s reading-room, by English
men and other foreigners, relative to our armv
in Mexico, and on the Oregon questiou, before
the glorious news of Taylor’s victories reached
the French capito!. The National Intelligene.er
of which I was a subscriber when edited by Mr.
J. Harrison Smith, and afterwards until 1832,
was eagerly sought after by the English subscri
ber” of the reading-room on the arrival of the
mad, after each steamer reached Liverpool from
the United States. It was called the British
payer, and the Federalists of the United States
the English party. A sad failing off, indeed,
from its principles from 1808 to 1826 ! Its edi
torials were disgusting to every lover of Ida
country in Europe !
“In a conversation with our talented Consul
at Paris, lie told me he knew it from his own ob
servation and conversation with distinguished
public men of England, that if tiie Senate of the
U. States hid simply passed the resolution re
quired by Mr. Polk in his message, without trie
discussion had upon it, the Oregon question
would have been settled satisfactorily to the na
tion, and without any difficulty; that the British
Ministry would not have considered the resolu
tion as proposed by the President an insult:
This fact was communicated, at the time, to
the “ National Intelligencer,” but it was sup
pressed :
“I was passenger with a very pleasant and in
telligent civil officer of tier Majesty Victoria, a
Consul, and in speaking of the Intelligencer, ha
upon my honor, called it the British paper in
the United States. I replied, yes; no paper in
London was more sol He also made the same
remark, I heard, in Parrs—the Federalists wero
the English party ! No candid citixen can read
the Intelligencer without coming to the same
conc'usiops; and I would a o add in respect to
Mexico. I appeal -to every true American. I
am (for 30 years, from 1809) A CONSTANT
READEIt of the R'chtnond Enquirer and the Ra
tional Intelligencer . (The latter, then, as Re
publican in principle, I believe, as the Enquirer
and Philadelphia Aurora.”)
