from the Louisville Journal*
THE DEW.
ht r. a. rKRciYAL.
When the sombre shades of even
’ G iiher o’er the darkened earth,
Filently the dew of Heaven
Through the dim air wanders forth {
And with holy ministration,
Hasting on t* angel wings,
Lfe to fainting vegetation,
Asa gentle spirit, brings.
Then, as glance the rays of morning
O’er the new-awakened earth,
Smiling flowers her lap adorning,
To the night dew owe their birth j
And the scented mead rejoices,
Bathing still in fragrant dew ;
While s thousand happy voices
Breathe for it their songs anew*.
When the sombre.shades of sorrow
Cloud the heart and dim the eye,
Silent thus, ere dawns tho morrow*
Falls the dew of sympathy;
And a holy benediction
Bearing on its balinly wings,
Hope ar.d courage in af&iction
To the faiuting soul it brings.
Then, as o'er the waking spirit
Wakes anew the joyous morn,
Flowers of hope and gladness cheer it,
From the dew of kindness born.
And the heart is like a meadow
Freshened by the fragrant dew,
Where from sunshine and from shadow
Choral songs arc heard anew.

BUENA VISTA.
■ t innisoy hill— Air— Hoslin Castle.
On the plain of Buena Vista,
Where red battle waved his wand,
Mid the smoke both murk and misty,
Fiercely met they, hand to hand !
Every sword was brightly gleaming
In the flashes of the sun,
And the blood was freely streaming
O’er the field our Eagle won !
Here a nation’s pride and glory,
Its bright honor and its name,
On the roll of a deathless story,
Reaps tire me?d of endless fame.
From tire mountains and dark passes.
Rushed the Mexic fierce and bold !
From ravines and morasses,
Came they forth like hordes of old !
Veteran heroes skilled in battle,
Each one vowed he ne’er would yield,
Until our cannon ’gan to rattle,
With iron hail, which swept the field !
Then the wail of thousands dying,
Rent the air in mournful strain.
The early dead —the wounded flying,
Shall never march to fight again !
Weep then friends ! let tears of sorrow
Fnl! opon our country’s brave!
Weep for those who know no morrow—
Who proudly fill a soldier’s giave.
We.ep, ye fathers, sisters, mothers,
Weep, for those in battle slain ;
Weep, ye patriots and brothers,
For these who ne’er shall fight again !
Columbia's genius shall forever
Protect their fame with watchful eye,
And neither time nor chance shall sever
Their mem'ry till in death wc lie.

MISCELLANY.
Influence of a Smii-KT.—lt is related in
the life of a celebrated mathematician,
William Hutton, that a respectable looking
countrywoman called upon him one day,
anxious to speak with him. She told him,
with an air of secret y, that her husband
behaved unkindly to her, and sought other
company, frequently passing his evenings
from home, which made her feel extremely
unhappy, and knowing Mr, Hutton to be a
wise roan she thought he might be able to
tell her how she could manage to cure her
husband.
The case was a common one and lie
thought he could prescribe for it without
losing his reputation as a conjurer. “The
remedy is a simple one,” said he, “hut I
have never Known it to fail. Always
t> eat your husband with a smile.”
The woman expressed her thanks, drop
ped a curtesy, and went away. A few
months afterwards she waited on Mr. Hut
ton, with a couple of fine fowls which she
begged him to accept. She told him, \\ hile
a tear of joy and gratitude glistened in her
eye, that she had followed his advice, and
her husband was cured. Ho no longer
sought the company of others, but treated
her with constant love and kindness.
Moral Character. —There is nothing
which adds so much to the beauty and pow
er of man, as a good moral character. It
is his wealth—his influence—his life. It
dignifies him in every station—exalts him
in every condition, and glorifies him at ev
ery period of life. Such a character is
more to be desired than everything else on
earth. It makes a man free and indepen
dent. No servile tool—no crouching syc
ophant—no treacherous honor-seeker ever
bore such a character. The pure joys of
truth and righteousness never spring in
such a bosom. If young men but knew
how much a good character wouliAdignifv
and exalt them—how glorious it would
make their prospects, ever, in this life, nev
er should wc find them yielding to the gro
velling and base-born passions of human
nature.—[ Steele.
A Dangerous I.ife Trap. —lt appears
by the Pittsburgh Chronicle, that fora few
years past a point 1.1 the Monongahela
river, opposite the gas works of that city,
has been the grave of so many more ) er
sons, by drowning, than any other point
on the river, ns to he a subject of special
■wonder and a mystery which has at length
been solved by the engineer of the gas
works, who says that there is constantly is
suing from the bottom of the river in front
of the building containing the Receiver, a
highly noxious gas, composed in part of
ammonia. Whin the river is disturbed,
it rises to the top in bubbles, which burst,
depositing rn the surface cf the water, an
oily substance which 11 >ats ofi glistening
with prismatic colors. Should a swim
mer, while liis head is under the water,
inhale one of the hubbies, it instantly pro
duces asphyxia, and unless the suflerer is
immediately relieved he sinks to rise no
more. It is a singular fact that in almost
every case of drowning at this point, the
sullerers have not risen to the surface af
ter first sinking. The. other day a small
alligator breathed some of this gas, and af
ter floundering to th■ ■ shore with his mouth
open, died of the effect.— Christian Mes

tuicli simple process as that of raiding its lemjtcra

a late dice rvery, but liable tn bo put to rjtentrite
and very important use. We give it as it is:
Mr. Violilter has lately present'd lotlie Acide

the desiccation of different kinds of wood liy steam,
lie stated that steam raised lo 482 degrees Kuh.
was capable of taking up a roiistdorablu quantity
of water, and acting upon tbis knowledge be sub
mitted different kinds of oak, elm, pine and wal
nut, about 8 inches long and half an inch square
to • current of steam at 7 3 pounds pressure to the
pq rare inch, but which was afterwards ruised tu
482 degrees.
The wood was exposed thus for two hours. It
was weighed before it was exposed to the steam,
afterwards put into close stopped bottles until coo!
when the samples of wood were again Weighed
end shows a cona deratil t loss of weight, the loss
of which increased with the increase of the tem
perature of steam.
For elm and oak (he diserrase in weight Was
one half, ash and walnut two friths, and pine onc
f bird. The woods underwent a change of color ns
the heat was rising from 395 degrees to 482; the
walnut became very dirk, ahowinga kind of tar,
formed in ihe wood by the processes, which wan
found to have a preserving effect on the wnnrl.
It was found that wood thus (rested became
stronger—having an increase in the power of re
stating fracture. The maximum heat for producing
the best fracture resisting power for clnt was be
tween 302 and 3 degrees, end between 257 and
302 for Ihe oak, walnut and pine. Ttie oak was
increased in strength five-ninths, walnut one-half,
Iwo-fifts foi pine, and more than one-fifth for elm.
These are but preliminary experiments which may
lead to very important results and are therefors in
teresting to architects especially. By this process,
the fibres of the wood are drawn close together,
and maple end pine treated in the (team at tcm|ier
attire of 482 were rendered far more valuable for
musical ina'rumenta then by any other proceea
heretofore known. This is valuable intermatinn lo

THIC IMItIPUTIVK FHICXt'HXIAN.
A young Parisian travelling to Amster
dam, was attracted by tile remarkable beau
ty of a house near the canal. He address
ed a Dutchman, in French, who stood near
him in the vessel, with “Pray, sir, may I
ask who that house belongs to?”
The Hollander answered him in his own
language— "/khan licit version ” “1 do
not understand you.”
The Parisian, not doubting but that he
was understood, look the Dutchman’s an
swer for the name of the proprietor.
“Oh ! ho!” said he, “ it belongs to Mr.
Kanilerstan ! Well, lam sure he must he
very agreeably situated; the house is most
charming: and the garden appears deli
cious. 1 don’t know that l ever saw a hot
ter. A friend of mine has one much like
it, near the river Loire; but 1 certainly
give this the preference.”
fie added many other observations of the
same kind, to which the Dutchman made
no reply.
When he arrived at Amsterdam, he saw
a most beautiful woman on the quay, walk
ing arm and arm with a gentleman. He
usked a person who passed him who that
charming lady was. But the man, not un
derstanding French, replied, “Ik kail neit
version.”
“What, sir,” replied our traveller, “is
that Mr. Kaniferstan’s wife, whose house
is near the canal? Indeed, this gentle
man's lot is enviable—to possess so noble a
house and so lovely n companion.”
The next day, when he was walk ingout,
he saw some trumpeters playing at a gen.
tleman’s door who had gut the largest
prize in the Dutch lottery. Our Parisian,
wishing to be informed of the gentleman’s
name; lie was still answered, u lk kail neit
version. ”
“Oh !” said he, “this is too great an ac
cession of good fortune! Mr. Katiiferstan
proprietor of such a fine house, liushai.d to
such a beautiful woman, and to get the lar
gest prize in the lottery ! It must be al
lowed that there are some fortuuatc men in
the world.”
About a week after this, our traveller
walking about, saw a very superb burying.
He asked whose it was. -Ik kanneil ver
sion.” replied the person of whom he in
quired.
“I'll, my God!” exclaimed lie, “poor
Mr. Kanilerstan, who had such a noble
house, such an angelic wife, and the largest
prize in the lottery 1 He must havequitted
this world with great regret —but l thought
his happiness was too complete to he of long
duration.”
lie then went home, reflecting all the
way upon the instability of human affairs.
DOH'S sr.RMOX OX DEBTS.
Text —“ Owe no man anything.”
Keep out of debt. Avoid it as you
would war, pestilence and famine. Shun
it as you would the devil. Hate it with a
perfect hatred Abhor it with entire and
absolute abhorrence. Dig potatoes, break
stones, peddle tin-ware, do anything that
is honest aud useful, rather than run in
debt. As you value comfort, quiet, inde
pendence, keep out of debt. As you value
good digestion, a healthy appetite, a
placid temper smooth pillow, sweet sleep,
pleasant dreams, and happy wakings,
keep cut of debt. Debt is the hardest of
all task-masters, the most cruel of all op
pressors. It is an inct jus on the heait.
it spreads a cloud over the whole firma
ment of a man’s being. It eclipses the
1 sun, it blots through out the stars, it. dims
and defaces the beautiful blue skv. It
breaks up the harmony of nature, and turns
to dissonance all the voiciS of its melody.
It furrows the forehead with premature
wrinkles, it plucks the eye of its light,
it drags all nobleness and kindness out of
the heart and bearing of a man. It
tad-os nil the soul out of his laugh, and all
stateliness and freedom from his walk.
Come not under its accursed dominion.
Pass by it as you would pass by a leper, or
one smitten ! y the plague. Touch it not.
Taste not of its fruit, lor it shall turn to
bitterness and ashes on your lips. Final
ly, l say to each, and all, hut especially to
you, young men keep out of debt.
The Gaines Letter. —lt will doubtless
be remembered by our readers that the
celebrated letter of Gen. Taylor to Gen.
Gaines was furnished to the New York
Express by Dr. Bacon, now the responsi
ble editor ol the N'ew York Day Book.—
From certain remarks contained m that
paper of the 20th inst., some of the news
papers drew the inference that Dr. B. cor
rected and revised it , so as, a he intimates,
to make it fit for publication. We extract
two paragraphs:
“The original letter of Gen. Taylor to
Gen. Gaines was much worse written than
the worst thing ever printed with his sig
nature. It afforded conclusive evidence
that though he wrote his celebrated ‘dis
patches,’ somebody must have corrected
them before they were dispatched.
“If any person deny this, the | übliccan
be furnished with examples of the original
uncorrcctcd English ol the letter,compared
with the version of paraphrase given by
the editors of the Day Book, which Gen.
Taylor has so promptly claimed as his own
production.”
Gen. Gaines, to whom the letter was ad
dressed, is now in this city, lie knows
what truth, if any there is, in Dr, Bacon’s
statement. —Q.V. O. Della.
Taking it Cooi.y. —A gentleman resi
ding in a village not many miles from Ex
eter, ir. this State, finding that the diminu
tion ol itis wood pile continued after his
lire was out, lay awake one night in order
to obtain, if possible, some cine to the mys
tery. At an hour when “all honest folks
should be in bed,” hearing an operator at
work in his yard, he cautiously raised his
chamber window, and saw a lazy brother
endeavoring to get a large 1 gott his wheel
barrow.
“You’re a pretty fellow,” said the own
er, “to come here and steel tny Wood while
1 sleep.”
“Yes,” replied the thief, “and I sup
pose you would stay up the;e and ste
me break my back \vith lilting, before
you’d oiler to come down and help me.”

Newspkper Case.—ln the Supreme
Court of Uhode Island, in the case of Jes
per Harding vs. Hemy D’Wolf, for nine
years’ subscription to the Pennsylvania
Inquirer from 18:55 to 1841, it was ruled
that the regular mailing of a newspaper
for a length of time was at least prima
facie evidence of its reception, and that
receiving a paper for a certain time arid
not ordering the same discontinued, was
sufficient to hold the person liable for the
subscription price, notwithstanding he
may never have ordered that paper sent.
A verdict was accordingly given for the
plaintiff.
Firmness.— Mon should be firm—woman
should l*o firm—all oar decisions ami doings
shonld be firmness and reason. What can tve
effect ly a trilling vibrating course ? Does any
one know of a man who became rich’ or hnpjiy on
account of there being no dependence to be
put on him 1 We presume not. Firmness of
chs'octcr carries a man through the world easily
and makes him respected by all, gnins for him a
good name, and sheds around him innumerable
blessings. Without it lie is despised by his friends,
led into a thousand snares by his enemies, enticed
from virtue by those we least expect, and finally
may commit crimes for want of firmness to resist ai
lurementsofvicc
Firmness of character stamps the image of rtrm
with something more than animal. It raises him
above the groeellmg earth, above temptation from
the path of virtue, above aH petty feeling* of the
heart. It is the main composition dTa Qenernl—

rPHE nndenlfncd after an absence of eipht
I years from the city would respectfully an
nounce that although he haa not now returned to
it, nor in all probability ever will $ yet by his dilli
gent research in the meantime, into the hidden
mysteries of nature, he probably has it as much in
his power to benefit them as if he lived in their
midst. Since he has permanently located himself
in Macon, he has enjoyed the most extensive op
portunities of perfecting and consolidat.ng the ru
diinental system lie then promulged among you,
and now at the end of so protracted a period, he is
proud to be able te speak of its entire success with
that confidence that certainty gives, and to sustain
which the proofs in his possession arc so very am
ple.
His g.cat success has been most apparent in the
treatment of chronic forms of disease after all other
means had failed, and his researches have enabled
him to devise the means of curing hundreds whom
he has never seen , simply by a statement of their
diseases in writting as correctly ns possible. His
labors in this department have been greatly facili
tated by the cheap postages system, which has ena
bled him thus to seud'medicines Any where at a com
paratively trifling expense.
In addition to this lie has put his own charges so
low that persons living at great distances can have
their cases treated cheaper by him than by the
physicians in their own immediate neighborhood,
for he treats the case and furnishes the medicines
at the low rate of(5) dollars monthly, a sum which
in a Doctors bill for a month would be a very
small item. These statements however he does
not wish to go forth merely on his simple say so,
they are susceptible of ample proof, which from
time to time he expects to furnish, and will begin
with one that with all the advantages of personal
attention is not surpassed and seldom equaled.
Upson County, Feb. sth, 1846.
I do hereby certify that my daughter, Ann Eliza,
was attacked about three years ago, with Pa'sy and
disease of the Spine , by which she was entirely dis
abled, and lost the use of her lower extremities.—
She was immediately put under the care of Dr.
Kendall, who attended her some time, but without
benefit. We then applied to Dr. Parker, a root
doctor, who, after lie had treated her case some
time, concluded that he could do nothing for her.
We then applied to Dr. Thomas, of Culloden, who
attended her eight months without the least bene
fit, for she was left in a most deplorable condition,
perfectly helpless. Wherever she was laid there
she remained, without the power of motion by the
greatest efforts ofthe will. She was so much re
duced that she looked as if there were not five
pounds of flesh on her whole body, so that she could
be compared to nothing but a living skeleton, if
such could he imagined. While in this state I was
induced to apply to Dr. M.S. Thomson, of Macon,
who, I am proud to say, by the blessing of Provi
dence, ami his skill in the use of remedies, has re
stored her to excellent bodily health and the use of
her limbs, by which she is enabled to enjoy life,
and visit about in the settlement without the assist
ance of any one. But what surprises every body is,
that she has been restored without having been seen
by the doctor, aud at the nominal expense of twen
ty dollars. WINSIIIP S. PAGE.
In a'dition to the foregoing the subscriber will
content himselffor the present with the insertion of
the communication of Geo. G. Miller Esq. J. P.
living in Bibb County 9 miles from Macon on the
Columbus road, aud though it is dated sometime
ago, yet he is happy to state that he still remains
sound.
From the Atlanta Luminary.
Ms. Editor: Sit,— My sense of duty to my suf
fering fellow mortals has induced me to make the
following communication ; and 1 am in hopes that,
should you see proper to give it in whole or in part
a place in your valuable paper, it may prove bene
ficial to some poor fellow sufferer. In the winter
of 1831, and the day after I had done a hard day's
work lifting and moving logs, I was taken with a
violent pain in my back and loins, and the day fol
lowing with a total suppression or stoppage of urine.
[I was then a citizen of Jones county, tia.] I im
mediately called in a physician ofgreat eminence
and distinction ; for thirty-six hours I suffered as
much, to all appearance, as it was possible for hu
man nature to endure, and at last found relief only
by the help ofthe catheter. I applied theiy to sev
eral eminent physicians both in Baldwin and Jones,
without receiving any benefit other than a tempora
ry relief, for my complaint would every two or three
days return, and the catheter was inv only helper.
In 1537 I removed to this county, and brought with
me my tormenting complaint and my trendiy cathe
ter. Here, as there, 1 applied to the most skillful
physicians, as I thought, and here, as there. I re
ceived no benefit from them. In Sept. 1842, after
having suffered at time s the most excruciating pains
for eight years and nine months, and after having
spent a great deal ofinoncy (at least $500) on doc
tors during the time, I was induced to tryPJDr. M.
S. Thomson, of Macon, and though I eutertained
the most violent prejudice to his mode of practice,
iny necessity compelled me to go, for 1 had then
been confined to my house for ten days, and had to
resort to the use of the catheter three or four times
daily. Jntnis miserable plight I left home, went
to Dr. Thomson, stated inv case to him, and he
gave me medicine. In halfan hour after taking his
first dose, I felt that ease, and had that free and
copious discharge of urine which I had not felt or
had in almost nine years. And from that time to
this present day, March 20th, 1847, 1 have iiad no
return of my complaint, and no more use for my
catheter. In order to make the cure permanent I
continued the use of the medicine several months.
Since then I take nothing for it. 1 eat, drink, sleep,
and work as in former days, and feel as we I ami
sound as ever I was. You may well .> oppose that
it did not take long to banish prejudice at that rate
and I now say to the afflicted, that I believe in ma
ny instances that prejudice stands more in the way
of their recovery than the incuribility oftlieir disea
ses. Such, Mr, Editor, is my experience of Dr.
Thomson’s treatment, and such the results Neith
er lie nor his remedies need any encomium from me;
the skill ofthe one and the efficacy ofthe other are
too well known for that; hut a fellow feeling for
the sufferers induced me. to take up the pen, and to
them is dedicated the imperfect communication of
Yours, respectfully, GEORGE G. MILLER.

-1 mous tor their virtues in curing this disease',
that hut little need be said of them Their action
upon the system is wonderful—so wonderful that
they immediately arrest all pain in this disease, no
matter of how long standing. The lady docs not
require inure than two or three pills, at any period,
before she finds herself easy and comfortable.
Tlidy need only a trial by those who have been
accustomed to suffer the agonies of death, at each
period, to find them a NK V KR-FAI LING REMEDY
in bringing about regular, easy, and healthy men
strual evacuations. The disco\cry of this medicine
is the result of long and attentive study, and was
made public from the most decided convictions
founded upon ample experience of its powers in
eradicating from the system every vestige ofdiseasc
in the most intractihle cases of Dysmenorrhea.
Wherever they have been used they have univer
sally superseded the use of ail remedies usually
prescribed by the profession, and it is worthy of
remark that the majority of those who have been
permanently cured, had been abandoned as beyond
the reach of medical skill. Such is the tact, and
so extraordinary were many of the cases cured,
that they have only to be tried to convincothe most
incredulous that they are the only effectual remedy
ever discovered that will Dosatively cure Dysmenorr

Fistula in Alio, cured without tlie
Knife.
DU. W. \V. MARSHALL, of Macon
Georgia, would call the attention of the
public to a number of certificates published, and
which he will continue to publish in various papers
in the State, of cases of Fistula cured by him. In
the treatment of Fistula recourse is generally had
to the knife, which is always painful and often
hazardous and very frequently unsuccessful.
More than one half of the cases that have come
under his care of late, had been subjected to the
knife without experiencing the least benefit, but
rather made worse. They were perfectly cured by
l)r. M. without the use of the knife, or any such
operation without tire least danger, and with but
little or no pain. In most cases the treatment does
not prevent the ordinary pursuits of business, al
though the patient is necessarily obliged to be un
der the immediate care and supervision of the Doc
tor from one to four weeks accordingly, as the na
tnreand circumstances of the case may demand.
Dr. M. does not exaggerate, when he says that
the plan of treatment he pursues is*obliged to suc
ceed in ninety-nine cases out of a Itundrcti, if not
in every case of Fistula.

Reference and address to a small number ofthose
who have been permanently cured of Fistula in
I Ano. The above named Gentlemen, may be cor
responded with on the subject. It is presumed that
| no one could requiredbetter evidence, to prove the
| utility in favor of any practice.
A large number of certificates, and the address
[ of persons who have been cured of cancer of late,
: who for the most part, hail been subject to almost
l all kinds of treatment, and yet, instead of being
. made better were much worse. Under the treat
ment ot Dr. M. the diseases were speedily cured.
Cases continually under treatment, in all their va
riety and stage of the disease.
This is to certify that for near fifteen years I was
afflicted with that dreadful disease, Fistula, and for
the last twelve mouths suffered so much pain as to
incapacitate me almost from attending to my busi
ness. During this time I consulted several pliysi
c ans both in this city and Charleston, and was in
formed by all of them, the disease was incurable
save by the knife of the surgeon. Learning the
operation was not only very painful, but dangerous
and not always successful 1 was very much opposud
to submit to it, and allowed the disease to progress
so lar as to present the alternative to submit to be
operated upon, or die. At this time I saw Dr. Mar
shall's card in the Chirstiau Advocate, and com
municated with him on the subject, and after being
satisfied that lie did cure the disease, 1 determined
to place nivself under lus treatment, and be com
menced to treat iny case. I remained there four
weeks and returned home ucarly well, and I am
happy now to say entirely restored. 1 would no
doubt have been entirely well much sooner, but
kept the place irritated .from riding every day on
horseback several miles. With regard to the Doc
tor’s treatment, it is attended comparatively with
little pain, I was at no time confined to the bed
moro than one day, and to the house but a very short
time, lie used no knife, (and so far ns I could
judge,) no caustic. I am perfectly satisfied that
the Doctor, with his peculiar mode of practice,
can cure the most cases of Fistula with less pain
to the patient, in a shorter time and with more cer
tainly than any physician that 1 have heard of, and
would with great confidence, arising from experi
ence, advise all who are afflicted with this dreadful
malady, not to hesitate hut at once to pine*) them
selves under his treatment, nnd l doubt not their
most sanguine expectations will he realized.
It gives me great pleasure to say that in all my
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, ! found him the
perfect gentleman, and rn intelligent devoted Chris
