[Correspondence of the N. Orleans Crescent.] CALIFORNIA CORRESPONDENCE. De.\h Teddy: —These loving lines is to inform you that I am alive and a kickcn, bar rin an ager cake that’s settled on my chist, and which has affected my voice so tnuc'.i, tliat I’m afeard you'll not he able to read this letter, which I’m writing on the toy of my old hat, (had luck to the crown there’s in i',) for the want of a hetther table. When I wrote you last spades was trumps, but now it’s dia monds, and I have made high, low, J.n k an i the game. Sure, Teddy, this is the spleudid cet country on this side of heaven for the root of all evil. Goold is plenty here as turf in the bogs of ould Ireland, and diamonds as plentiful as bhickbuties in the fence corners. The goold is live feet four inches thick in [da ces, with some lumps of silver here and there —mighty convenient for small change. Dia monds, rubbies and imeralds may be had for the asking, but there's mighty few would be throublod with them, when the pre cious metals are found so easy in galore.— Kite fornnenst. me, when I sit composin this letter, there’s a fortin to be had for the siftin —the sands bein goold powther, and the mountains, Teddy, has veins—and every vein is full of the serculatin madium. How would you like to blade them, ould boy? And why shouldn’t you be doin the same, when there’s so many Mexicans, French and other hay thens, walking off with the matter of hogs heads of the rale dust ivery day, to say noth in of the most beautifullest pearls and the am azons, which precious stones abound in great plenty, immejately after a shower of rain. In the ould country it rains frogs and fishes; but here, Teddv, my darlin, it rains precious stones and jewels, some of them set in rings and breastpins, all ready for the wearin.— ‘l'lie Indians here puts big rings of goold in their noses, which must be mighty nnconva nient when they have bad coulds. There’s considerable rascality here, not’standir.g the dilieate manner that Judge Lynch (a coun tryman of ours who makes the law for this country,) deals with sicli like. Sure they jerk a feller up, Teddy, on the Lis to suspi cions, and faix its tny own head I shakes ive ry morning, when I get my peepers open, to see that all’s light above me, for it’s a thrat of our judge to show no partiality. But I’ve got my finger in his eye, boy. Ivery week or two, there’s a big whiskered chap that conies along (the Judge’s secretary,) and collects all dust for the support old:is honor, and I always gives him a thrifle more nor the balance of my companions on the Ban Jokin. We’re all rale Dimocrats out here, Teddy, and while I set composing this letther, 1 can see one of the captains of the New York Melishy wash in the goold with scarcely a rag on him, sa ving your presence. Even the missionaries dig like bog-throtters all the week, and deliv er mighty improvin discources to the hathens on a Sunday. The Injuns i.3 incensed in this way with the sinfulness of riches, and sells it mighty chape to save their souls. Forty-and-five is a greater game here; I introduce it to my acquaintances for the small sum of an ounce a rubber—good luck to you, my darlin, for tacking me that same. Many an honest penn y has it bro’t to my pile of dust. But I shall soon give up tacliin and workin, as 1 am truly worth my weight in goold, ba vin more than a toil in store at San Francis co, and after this season, if I have luck, I shall retire from business and build me a fine house on the Sacrymenta, the bed ot which stream is pure goold. How would you like to sleep in that lied, my boy, isn’t it illegant? I’ll be like a Turk, my jewel, and never disown a poor relation ; come out and see me, and you shall have diamonds and goold in galore ; but faix, you must bring your own duds, or divil a stick you will get here. Provisions is scarce and little of it. Balt Pork is twelve dollars a pound; flour eight dollars, and cof fee, sugar and tea in proportion ; vegetables is not to be had, and pitatoes is worth their weight in goold. Bring some wid you, Ted dy. Only think how pour luvin friend, Cor nalius OT lahertv, has traveled. Sure Julium (hesar, Napcliuin Bonaparte, nor Gineral M ashington, has ever been this far, and here I am, bavin visited the four quarters of the globe, and if any one will tell me where its hind quarters is, I’ll go there too. Literature is scarce, there being none in the market, bar rin what is stuck up on the streets corners at Ban Francisco. Good Inch to the chap that gave me a knowledge of the beautiful compo sin letthers—it kinder aises my conscience for the lack of Christian instruction and the jovs of civilization. When you go to the post-office to inquire for this letther, tell the Postmaster I have di rected it to the care of your for fear you should not be at home wlk ait ar rives. So without more ado, go immediately, and ax the ould woman for it, and before vou open the same call in my friends, and then you may break the seal and read them ivery word, karri n my love for Biddy, the darlin. I oil her il she ll put on the jacket and trows ors, she can make hopes of money here, for she knows how to handle the spade, and its asier digging goold than cuttiu turf in Kilken ny. But she’d better not be after com in in her natural dints, for the sight of a petticoat might breed a ruction in the settlement. It would be a good speculation to bring out a cargo of women, Teddy, and it’s not necessary to be choice in the quality, for even damaged goods are in demand when there’s none other in the market. 1 would like to marry, and have lit tle OTlahertys livin, entin, anu slapin on the goold I’ve got laid up : but faix, if Biddy, ma vourneen! don’t come out, 1 shall resign niv self to my fate, and live and die ail ould maid. 1 our affectionate cousin, COBN A LIUS O’FLAHERTY. A Hippopotamus Hunt. FKOM “COININGS ADVENTURES IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.” As I entered a dense reed cover I came upon the fresh lair of four hiopopotami.— They had been lying sleeping on the margin of the river, and, on hearing me come crack ling through the reeds, had plunged into the •deepwater. 1 at once ascertained that they were newly started, for the froth and bubbles were still on the spot where they had plunged in. Next moment 1 heard them blowing a little way down the river. I then headed them, and with considerable difficulty, ow ing to the cover and the reeds, I at length came right down above where they were standing. It was a broad part of the river, with a sandy bottom, and the water came half way up their sides. There were four of them, three cows and an old bull: they stood in the middle of the river, and, although much alarmed, did not appear to be aware of the extent of the impending danger. I took the sea cow next me, and with my first ball I gave her a mortal wound, knocking loose a great plate on the top of her skull. She at once commenced plunging round, and then occasionally remained still, sitting for a few minutes on the same spot. On hearing the report of my rifle two.’of the others took up stream, and the fourth dashed down the river ; they trotted along, like oxen, at a smart pace as long as the water was shallow. I was now in a state of very great anxiety about f*\\ wounded sea-cow, for I feared tliat she would get down into deep water, and be lost, j like the last one; her struggles were still car rying her down the stream, and the water was becoming deeper. To settle the matter I ac cordinglv fired a second shot from the bank, which, entering the roof of her skull, passed out through her eye; she then kept continual ly splashing round and round in a circle in the middle of the river. I had great fears ol j the crocodiles, and I did not know that the ; sea-cow might no‘ attack me. Mv anxiety to secure her, however, overcame all hesitation ; so divesting myself of tny leathers, and armed with a sharp knife, i dashed into the water, which at first took me up to my armpits, but in the middle was shallow. As I approach ed Behemoth, her eye looked very wicked. I halted for a moment, ready to dive under the water ift she attacked me; but she was stunn ed, and did not know what she was doing; so running in upon her, and seizing her short tail, 1 attempted to incline her course to land. It was extraordinary what enormous strength she still had i:i water. I could not guide her in the slightest, and she continued to splash, and plunge, and blow, and make her circular course, carrying me along with her as if I were a fly on her tail. Finding tliat her tail gave but a poor hold, as the only means of se curing my prey, 1 took out my knife, and cut ting two deep parallel incisions through the ski: g on her rump, and lifting this skin from the flesh, so that I could get it in my two hands, I made use of this as a handle, and af ter some desperate hard work, sometimes pushing and sometimes pulling, the sea-cow continuing her circular course all the time, and I holding on at the rump like grim death, eventually 1 succeeded in bringing this gigan tic and most powerful animal to the bank.— Here the bushman quickly brought me a stout buffalo rlieim from my horse neck, which I passed through the opening in the thick skin, and moored Behemoth to a tree. I then took my rifle and sent a ball through the centre of her head, and she was numbered with the dead. Varieties. Confidence may not be reciprocal, but kindness should be. Great places are great burdens; distin guished conditions in life exact great servi tude. A word spoken in season, at the right mo ment, is the mother of ages. m Simplicity is one of the striking charac teristics of real genius. Innovation—(lie unanswerable objection waged against all improvement. Against the great superiority of another, there is no resource but love. Music is a prophecy of what life is to be; the rainbow of promise, translated out of seeing into hearing. Few men feel joyous and light-hearted, and remain utterly selfish ; they must com municate their feelings. • When good-will goes gadding, ho must not be surprised if ill-will sometimes meets him on the way. Charity. Night kissed the young rose, and it bent softly to sleep. Stars shone, and pure drops hung upon its blushing bosom and watched its sweet slumbers. Morning came with its dancing breeze and they whispered to the young rose, and it awoke joyous and smiling. Lightly it danced to and fro in all the loveli ness of health and innocence. Then came the ardent sun-god sweeping from the east, and he smote the young rose with his scorch ing rays, and it fainted. Deserted and al most broken hearted, it drooped to the dust in loneliness and despair. Now, the gentle breeze, which had been gamboling over the sea, pushing on the home-bound bark, sweep ing over hill and dale—by the neat cottage and still brook—turning the old mil!, fanning the brow of disease, and frisking curls of in nocent childhood —came tripping along on her errand of mercy and love; and when she saw the young rose she hastened to kiss it and fondly bathed its forehead in cool, re freshing showers, and the young rose revived, looked up, and smiled in gratitude to the kind breeze ; but she hurried quickly awnv; her generous task was performed, yet not without reward, for she soon perceived that a delicious fragrance had been poured on her wings by the grateful rose; and the breeze, which was so kind, was glad in heart, and went away through the trees. Thus real true charity, like the breeze, gathers fragrance from the drooping flowers it refreshes, and unconsciously reaps a reward in the perform ance of its offices of kindness which steals up on tho heart like rich perfume, to bless and cheer. Boisterous Preaching:. A celebrated divine, who was remarkable in the first period of his ministry for a loud and boisterous mode of preaching, suddenly changed his whole manner in the pulpit, and adopted a mild and dispassionate mode of de liverv. One of his brethren observing it, in quired of him what had induced him to make the change? lie answered—“ When I was young, I thought it was the thunder that killed the people, but when 1 grew wiser, I discov ered that it was the lightning. Bo I deter mined to thunder less and lighten more in fu ture.” It is a pity all preachers have not made the discovery. Fruits of Virtue. If you should see a man digging in a snow drift with the expectation of finding valuable ore, —or planting seeds upon the rolling bil lows, you would say at once that lie was be side himself. But in what respect does this man differ from you, while you sow the seeds of idleness and dissipation in your youth, and expect the fruits of age will be a good consti tution, elevated affections and holy principles? If you desire a virtuous and happy life, in youth you must shape your character by the M’ord of unerring wisdom, and plant in your bosom the seeds of holiness. The Mother. Despise not thy mother when she is old.— When she was young, yea, middle-aged, thou pridedst and respectedst, didst reverence and obey her; do it as well when she is old ; hold on doing it to the last. Age may wear and waste a mother’s beauty, strength, parts, limbs, senses and estate; but her relation of a mother is as the sun when he goes forth in Ids might, for it is always in the meridian, and knoweth no evening. The person may he grav-headed, but her motherly relation is ev er in its flourish. It may be autumn, yea, winter, with the woman, but with the mother —as mother—it is always spring. Be Careful how yon Speak. Ilnsh! why should you speak against the character of a female ? It is all she has to •depend upon in this world. Just give the impression wings that she is not so good as she should be, and it will fly to every nook ! and corner of the town. The story you j whisper will return in tones of thunder, to astonish even yourself, who was the first guilty wretch to repeat so base a thing. A ; word has often proved the ruin of a virtuous ■ soul, a word thoughtlessly spoken it may be, i lut reported by an evil mind. Suppose any thought, which, if uttered, might injure the character or feelings of another. A thought may be stifled at its birth, but a word spoken may never be lost. Weigh everything you utter, so that none may misconstrue your language or receive a wrong impression. Above afl, never, even in jest, whisper words, which, if true, would throw a Wight upon a spotless reputation. All Sorts of Paragraphs. Never neglect to read the advertising department of a newspaper, if you would know where to lay out your money to the best advantage. Competition is at its height, and those who have anything worth buying, at good bargains, always advertise. They know it is the sure way to do a brisk and profitable business, and by selling quickly they are enabled to sell cheaply. Keep the run of the advertisements. Sometimes the price of a whole year’s subscription is saved by looking closely over the advertisements. (k?” An Irishman writing from California, says:—lt’s an illegant country. The bed bugs are as big as dinner pots, while the fleas are used for crossing creeks with—one hop and they are over, with tw o on their backs. CO” It is more difficult to make the eye lie than any other organ we are possessed of. To tell what a woman says, pay attention to her tongue. If you would ascertain what she means, pay attention to her eye. To talk in opposition to the heart is one of the easi est tilings in the world ; to look this opposi tion, however, is more difficult than algebra. Again, we say, never believe a girl hates you till you ask her eyes. A late San Francisco paper has the following paragraph:—“A few days since an American opened a hole at the head of Jack ass Gulch, near the Stanislaus, and after dig ging some eight or nine feet, found imbedded j in the slate a small coin, perfectly black. Af- j ter rubbing it some time, he discovered it to : be a copper coin about the size of an Eu- j glish shilling. On one side is the representa- j tion of the sun, and on tho other an Indian j with bow and arrow'in hand shooting at a! bird in a tree. The dato of the coin is so much worn you can only discern three figures, 108-. The coin was purchased by Mr. Still and sent to Dr. Radelifi".” According to the returns of the An nual Conferences for the present year, the Methodist Church North consists of 4,129 travelling preachers, 5,420 local preachers, 989,082 members, being an increase of 27,377 over the returns of last year.

Capital enough. Qdj~ At a very excellent hotel, not a hun dred miles from our parts, they were one day short of a waiter, when a newly arrived Hi bernian was hastily made to supply the place of a more expert hand. “Now', Barney,” said mine host, “mind you serve every man with soup, any how.” “Be dad, I’ll do that 3ame,” said the alert Barney. Soup came on at the start, and Barney, after helping all but one guest, came upon the last one. “Soup, sir?’’ said Barney. “No soup for me,” said the gent, “But you must have it,” said Barney, “it is the rules of the house.” “Damn the house,” exclaimed the guest, highly exasperated; “when I don’t want soup I won’t eat along with you.” “Well,” said Barney with solemnity, “all I can say is jest this: it’s the regulations of the house, and damn the drop else ye’ll get till ve finish the soup!” The traveller gave in, and the soup was gobbled. 03“ We notice a large number of hogs passing almost daily through this place to take the cars for Southern markets.

One of the daughters only has left; the widow and remaining daughters continue to reside in Cambridge. We heard a good joke once of a party of young fellows who found fault with the butter on the boarding house table. “What is the matter with it?” said the mistress. “ Just you ask it,” said one, “it is old enough to speak for itself.” A wag entered a store in London years ago, which had for its sign, “The Two Baboons,” and addressing himself to the proprietor, said, “I wish to see your partner!” “I have no partner, sir.” “I beg your pardon, sir, and hope you will excuse the mistake.” “Oh, there’s no harm done; but what made you think that there were two of us?” “Your sign—The Two Baboons.” A gentleman, once upon a time, en tered a small shop in which vegetables were kept for sale, and inquired of the proprietor if he had any “onions.” “Onions, onions,” repeated the puzzled vegetable dealer, “onions! —no, sir, I believe not.” After the gentleman had left, the perplexed vegetable man scratched his head for a mo ment, and then, as if struck with a sudden solution of the mystery, exclaimed— I “wonder it the darned ignorant fool didn't mean rug ions /” Dr. deGRAFFENRIED’S CELEBRATED RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. In introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit ed State-, for stile, the proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. do Grafienried, its discov erer and inventor: The undersigned frankly states that lie has prescribed this medicine tortile la.-t twenty-two years, in all tonns of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success un paralleled in the annals ol medicine ; and boffins no hes itation in saying., that it is decidedly the most valuable remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most pain ful and distressing malady. His note-book contains upwards of three hundred ra ses, in which it has been within the above named period,and in no single instance hash conic to his knowl edge, of its having failed to effect n cure when persereved in. -Many of the cases were from four to ten years stand ing ; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex traordinary, is, that when the patient has been once re lieved, the disease is permanently cured, remains so, not a solitary instance having been reported to him of its re turn. All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impar tial and patient trial, for tho results ho entertains no ap prehension. Up to the timo ol thi* discovery, tho undersigned had well studied the, origin, progress, and character of this dis ease,and is well assured, had consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been translated into the English language, and had used all thoi remedies of any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu manity. It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and ol every other country, lint the undersigned llatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth erslmve failed, and that lie shall have been an humble in strument in the hands of God, of relieving the human family ofa vast amount of suffering.

Dear Sir —About the first of April last, I came to Co lumbus to get medical assistance, and was advised to call on you, as having a reme.ly that would afford me speedy relief. 1 was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints so badly, that I could not pull of my shoes without aid ; nor could I ascend or descend steps, or pull oil’ my clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand were nearly useless; the fingers contracted and swollen: die right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not bend it but very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all the timo in suffering and pain : T rubbed with your Rheu matic Liniment my limbs three times, and was the next morning enabled to descend a long fight of steps, with out aid of crutch or stick, and back to m v room —1 could also bend my knee and brine it up to the. chair, which the previous day, I could not have done if my life bad de pended Oil it. 1 could also use. open and bend my fing ers. wich was an imbossibihty tho day before. I rose in the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheu matic Liniment, and in ton days, I was •relieved. I would not have been in the condition which I had been, ten days before I called on you, for any amout of money which could be, given me ; for what is life worth when in constant pain ami misery ! I consider your Rheumat ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I am, dear sir, vour friend. J. 11. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 18 49.

Their power over the above diseases is not excell ed. if equalled, by any other preparation in the United Slates, as the. cures attest, in many cases after skilful physicians had failed. Those Bitters are worthy tile attention of invalids.— Possessing groat virtues in the rectification of diseases of the Liver and h-seer glands, exercising the most search ing powers in weakness and affections of the digestive organs, they are, withal,safe, certain and pleasant. Read and he Convinced. Chas. Robinson, E<q., Easton, Md., in a letter to Dr. Jackson. Jan. D, 1850. said— “My wife am! myself have received more henfit from your medicine than any ether we have ever taken for the Dyspepsia and lAcer disease.” “The Tenth Legion,” published at Woodstock, Va.. January 10, 1850, said— “A Great Medicine.” “We have uniformly refrained from recommending to the public any of the various patent medicines of the day, unless thoroughly convinced of their value. — Among those we eomider worthy of notice is the German Bitters, invented by ])r. Uooilnnd, and prepared by ])r. Jackson, in Philadelphia. One in stance in ‘particular, in which the superior virtues of this medicine have been tested, lias fallen under our observation. During the last summer,a son of Mr. Abraham Crabill, of tins county, was very se riously afflicted with Liver Complaint, and after trying in vain various remedies, he purchased a bottle of the Bitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of bis distressing malady, that he procured another bot tle, and is restored entirely to health.” Read Further a Fete Facts. The ‘‘Philadelphia Democrat,” the leading Ger man journal of Philadelphia. The editor said, No vember 2-ltii : “We again call attention to the removal of tip. German Medicine Store, the principal depot for the sale of Dr. iloofland's German Bitters, from 278 Race to 120 Arch street, one door below Sixth.— Owing to the increased demand for this medicine, and for the accommodation of his numerous patients, Dr. Jackson has been compelled to occupy a larger store. We wish him success in Ids new quarters ; lie is deserving it The Bitters Mixture is without doubt the greatest medicine extant for diseases of the Liver and Bowels. A stubborn case of Chronic I liarrhcea has come under our notice, wherein the patient had exhausted the Materia Medieas of the different schools of medicine with no apparent benefit, lie was induced to use these bitters, and a few bottles of them have entirely cured him. Many such eases we could refer to. We hope our readers will recol lect this great restorative, should they be so unfortu nate as to require its use. Dr. Jackson possesses the original unpublished receipt of Dr. Iloofiand, and he prepares this medicine with care. Those pur chasing should call at his store, or see that his name is written upon the wrapper outside, and blown in the bottle, ns imitations of good articles are common.” Judge M. M. Noah, a gentleman with great sci entific and literary attainments, said in his “New York Weekly Messenger,” January <>, 1850: ‘‘'Dr. Hoof end's German Hitters. —Here is a pre paration which the’ leading presses in the Union ap pear to he unanimous in recomending, ami the rea son is obvious. It is made after a prescription furnished by one of the most celebrated physicians of modern times, the late Dr. Christopher Wilhelm Iloofland, Professor to the Unive rsity’ of Jena, Private Physician to the King of Prussia, and one of the greatest medi cal writers Germany lias ever produced. He was emphatically the enemy of humbug , ,°n<l therefore a medicine of which lie was the inventor and endorser may be perfectly relied on. lie specially recommend ed it in Liver Complaint,Dyspepsia, Debility, Vertigo, j Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, nndallcom | plaints arising from a disordered condition of the I stomach, the liver and the intestines. Niue Phila j dclphia papers express their conviction of its excel lence, and several of the editors speak of its effects from their own individual experience. Under these circumstances, we feel warranted not only in calling the attention of our readers to the present, proprietor's (Dr. C. M. Jackson’s) preparation, but in recom mending the article to all afflicted.” Alore Evidence. The “Philadelphia Saturday Gazette,” the best family newspaper published in the United States, the editor says of DR. IIOOFLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS I “It is seldom that we recommend what are termed j Patent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of | our readers ; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. I Ilooiland's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinet ■ ly understood that we are not speaking of the nos j trams of the day that are noised about for a brief period > and then forgotten after they have done their guility race of mischief, hut of a medicine long established, ! universally prized, and which has met the heatty ap ! proval of the Faculty itself.” Evidence upon evidence has been received (like | the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the last ! three years, and the strongest testimony in its favor | is, that there is more of it used in the practice of the ! regular Physicians of Philadelphia than all other nos ! trums combined, a fact that can easily be established, | and fully proving that a scientific preparation will | meet with their quiet approval when presented even in this form.- That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dy spepsia, no one can doubt, after using it as direct ed. It acts specifically upon the stomach and liver— it is preferable to calomel in ail bilious diseases —the effect is immediate. They can be administered to female or infant with safety and reliable benefit, at any time. Beware of Counterfeits. This medicine has attained that high character which is necessary 7 for all medicines to attain to in duce counterfeiters to put forth a spurious article at the risk of the lives of those who are innocently de ceived. Look well to the Marks of the Genuine. They have the written signature of C. M. JACK SON upon the wrapper, and the name blown in the bottle, without ishiiti they are spurious, g .* ...

The Faculties", for intellectual abilities, moral worth arid professional acquirements, will compare favorably with the most distinguished in our country. The medi cal facility constitutes an anomaly in this or any other country—all of them are able lecturers and tlte beet of teachers. Those who contemplate our geographical position, and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as to the eligibility ol our situation for an enterprise of the kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year, w deny that'any other city has moke. A common error exists in the minds of many students relative to the place of studying medicines; those who intend practicing among the diseases of the West and South should certainly educate themselves at a school whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those diseases.. Thar the public may bo satisfied of the permanency ol this school, we feel it our dutj to state, that the Trus tees” and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs well for its future success : and that the peculiar internal organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted. ii.
