IUteuMTIM Discovert- The Paris Corrcs
d(,nt 0 f the Courier des Etats Unis, describe*
' marvelous discovery, which has just been
, 3 dc relating to the important subject of color
n« grey • t
The new system succeeds in bringing about
tJje internal coloring of the hair. The discove
‘ is borrowed from the Chinese, who have suc
ceeded in reaching and transforming by means
of medicine and a peculiar diet, the liquid which
colors the pilous s) stcm and giving to while and
red hair a black tint which maintains itself dur
ing the continued growth. It is by this method
that the Chinese have been able to claim the ti
tle from the highest antiquity of the black haired
nation.
M- Debay has published a treatise upon it—
and as the bones of living animals have been co
lored red by making them cat madder, and the
internal wood of trees lias been changed to dif
ferent hues by watering the roots with liquid
metalic salts, he wonders that this discovery has
not before been made by those thus experiment
ted. The hair and the beard belong to vegeta
ble life, and are disposed to the same plienome
na. In fact, says M. Debay, after a sufficien
quantity of ferruginous salts lias been introduc
ed into the body, the circulation takes them up,
the blood loaded with these substances deposites
them in the follicules of the hair, which in turns
pours them into the oil of the hair, and this oil,
saturated with iron, becomes black and the whole
hair with it.
The above has an old appearance, and if we
mistake not, is to be found in a number of the
Glasgow Mechanics Magazine for 1825.—We
should not like to try the process at any rate.
Tobacco a Cure for Cholera.— Dr. John
W. Moor states, in a Mobile paper, that he cured
one hundred or more extreme cases of cholera,
Tiot losing one, by the use of tobacco. lie ad
ininstcrcd if in a form ofan enama,of the strength
of one drachm to a pint. He first tried it upon a
negro, whose pulse was gone, his tongue was cold
and his muscles so rigid that he rested only on
bis bead and heels. In five minutes he was re
lieved, and the cure perfected by drinking a
decoction of sena. In his own case, Dr. Moor
took into his stomach a spoonful of the tobacco
decoction, with perfect relief from cramp and di
arrhoea. He has no doubt but that cholera may
be as easily managed, as the fevers of our coun

Centralia. —An expedition is about being
formed in New York for exploring the region of
country lying between Texas and California, in
which are supposed to exist mines of gold rich
er than those of Ophir. This country has been
called, by some, Centralia, and it is suggested os
being the land of precious stones, form whence
Montezuma and his prineely race drew those
immensely valuable emeralds which Cortez sent
to Spain. Capt. Webber, author of“ Old Hicks
the Guide,” and “ The Gold Mines of the Gila,’’
is leader of the expedition.
A Large Cargo. —The New York Evening
I’ostsays: The duties received at the custom
house in this city, from the cargo of the steam
ship United States, on her last voyage, amoun
ted to the enormous sum of three hundred and
seventy-nine thousand dollars. This is exclu.
sive of the goods sent to the Bonded Warehouse,
on which no duties have yet been paid, but
which will probably bring up the amount to four
hnndrcd thousand dollars.
Mosey sot Contagious. —An Aberdeen pa
per slates, that, whilst the prayer book, together
with all the clothes of a deceased cholera pati

his person, were religiously preserved.
A Hiding Place from the Storm.— lt was
a beautiful turn that was given by a great lady,
on being asked where her husband was when he
lay concealed for having been deeply concerned
|in a conspiracy, resolutely answered that she had
■hid him. The confession drew her before the
( Charles 11, ) who told her that nothing
ll>ut her discovering where her lord was could
WBave her from the torture. “And will that do?”
Jsaid the lady. “Yes,” replied the King, “I
Sgivc you my word for it." “ Then,” said she,
§“ I have him in my heart; there, and there alone,
! you’ll find him !”

Improvement in I^entistrv. —The Farmer
and Mechanic says: Messrs, llill Si. Blackman,
of Norwalk, Ct., have recently patented anew
invention in dentistry, which consists in produc
ing a compound substance for filling carious
teeth, known as“ Hill's Stoppings,”—possessing
the valuable characteristic of being plastic when
introduced into the cavity of a tooth, and harde
ning as soon as it is packed.
It is tasteless—inodorous, and innocuous, and
as perfect a protection as can be, being complete
ly impermeable to any fluids of the mouth, and
subject to no chemical change.
It is comparatively a non-conductor of heat
and cold, —docs not shink, nor become discolor
ed, —is very adhesive, and will cling to the walls
of a tooth with wonderful tenacity, and will re
main in mere shells of teeth, without difficulty.
It is more easily applied than any other stopping,
and can be made so near the color of a tooth as
to escape detection in the mouth, except on a
examination. Its specific gravity is less than
gold, and nearer that of the natural tooth. It is,
in its natural state similar to the tooth itself, and
preferable in many respects to metals of every
discription.
The inventor observes:—“ We believe it is
destined ere long to revolutionize the practice of
dentistry, with respect to filling carious teeth, —
and to supply a place which nothing else lias
yet been able to fill, being more easily applied
than metals can be, both with respect to the
comfort of the patient, and the convenience of
the operator.
It will save a class of teeth hitherto doomed
to inevitable destruction, and thereby save a vast
amount of human suffering.
It is much less expensive, and therefore more
extensively applicable than gold.
Wonderful Escape of a Slave. —The Bur
lington ( Vt.) Courier, of the 12th ult., says a few
weeks ago, a slave in a southern city managed
to open a correspondence with a gentleman in
a northern city, with a view of effecting an es
cape from bandage. Having arranged the pre
liminaries, he paid somebody S4O to box him up,
and mark him, “ This side up, with care,” and
take him to the express eflice, consigned to his
friend at the North. On the passage, being on
board of a steamboat, he was accidentally turned
head downwards, and almost died with the rush
of blood to the head. At the next change of
transportation, however, he was turned right side
up again, and after 26 hours confinement, arrived
sateiy at his destination. On receiving the box,
the gentleman had doubts whether he should
find a corps or a free man. He tapped lightly
on the box, with the question, “ All right ?” and
was delighted to hear the response, “All right
sir.” The poor fellow was immediately libera
ted from his place of living burial, and forwar
ded to a wealth abolitionits in a city in New
England, where he now is. We have assurance
that this story is no flight of fancy, but is abso
lutely true.
The Importation of Slaves. —The people
of Shelby county, Tennessee, held a meeting
some days since, and passed strong resolutions
against the further introduction of slaves into
that State from Kentuoky. One of the resolu
tions brings the subject to the notice of the en
suing Legislature, and urges upon that body the
passage of a law making it a penal offence to in
troduce a slave into that State for the purpose of
selling him.
Western Texas. —A large body of French
man are emigrating to Western Texas under the
denomination of Icarians. They are chiefly
agriculturalists and intend rearing sheep. We
are sorry to learn that Western Texas is at pres
ent ravaged by myriads of grasshoppers. It is
a season of great drought, and the crops are also
suffering from worms.
Iron Roads. —A writer in the National Intel
ligencer recommends that Pennsylvania avenue,
in Washington, should be laid with iron cinder.
This article, he says, surpasses all other materi
als for the construction of roads, the particles
being too heavy to be moved by the wind ; and
after a rain they rust and cement together, and
by use become perfectly smooth and solid, and
will endure for a length of time.
(LJ’ The Turkish Government is interesting
itself in having men thoroughly educated in
every branch of agriculture for the purpose of
introducing among the subjects of that govern
ment the best practical information in farming.
In all the Turkish houses you will see one side

are the apartments of women, who live entirely
seperate from the male portions of the family.

mortality of the preceding year.
Colds. —The London Punch, in a quiet and
delicate manner, applies the following pungent
salvo to a fashionable folly, distressingly preva
lent at the present day. It says : “ Young Indies
should take care not to sit near the piano ; for it
is a well known fact that the instrument has
caused mose dreadful colds than all the thin
shoes and [draughts in the world. The most
beautiful creatures who were perfectly well and
laughing the minute before, having no sooner
approached a grand piano, than they have been
suddenly seized with a sore throat, and have lost
in a minute the use of their voice ! This com
plaint is less taken as the young lady grows older,
and rarely has any effect in a family where there
are several sisters.”
ffT’ Beauty andability, relationship, nay every
connexion, shakes when the ensign of poverty
is unfurled ; we must worship wealth, even to
idolatry, if the noble disinterestedness of a few
individuals was not at all times obtruded to keep
us from emerging into the oblivion of worth, af
fection, and merit.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.
Although matters on the continent of Europe
are not jet satisfactorily adjusted, still commer
cial affairs continue in a satisfactory state. The
Money market continues well supplied with
cash ; but in the rate of discount there is not any
change to report. Good hills of short dates con
tinue in request, and the rates for such are 2.J to
2.J per cent. Other bills and securities vaiy
from 2| to 8 per cent. The Bank of England
rate continues at 3, and money on call at 2 per
cent. The Cotton market has had an improving
tendency during the last week; but no change
can be noted in the Grain trade, although a
rather firmer feeling has been manifested during
the last few days. The tenor of our advices
from the manufacturing districts arc satisfactory,
nevcrthless less activity prevails. The Produce
markets, both in Lopdon, Liverpool, and Glas
gow, and Hamburg possess no new feature. The
commercial, and monetary intelligence brought
by the last Overland Mail are satisfactory. A
fair amount of business was doing at Calcutta
and Bombay.
Manchester Monthly Trade Reports.
The contrast which the aspect of aft'air forms
now to that of the preceding month, is singular
ly striking. After an interval of comparative
political tranquility, hostilities have been re
commenced in Italy, and a European war is
dreaded by some, although seriously believed in
by none. The activity and confidence prevalent
in business at the beginning of the mouth are
now suceecdcd by a state of suspense and appre
hension ; and the spirit of speculation has given
way to that of caution. We have, in fact, gone
from one extreme to another ; a further decline
of prices is now predicted with as much certain
ty as a further rise was looked for at the begin
ning of the month. Although we regret the
cause which has arrested the rise of prices, we
cannot but consider the check which has thus
early been given’to speculation as salutary. In
our last Trade Report, and before we knew of
any resumed hostilities, we stated that the ad
vance which had taken place in our market could
not immediately be realized in European states,
and that any further rise would seriously im
pede the export trade of the country. Since
then, prices have receded about from 10 to 12
percent on the middling qualities of cotton, and
for goods from 5 to 7-4 per cent on the narrow,
and front sto 10 per cent on the broader descrip
tions. A slight decline has also taken place in
the produce and other markets. Asrecent spec
ulation has, however, not had time fully to de
vclope itself and to raise the prices ofcomtnodi
ties to a dangerous height, nnd as trade lias, on
the whole, been carried on with prudence, while
stocks (at least to textile fabrics) arc compara
tively light, no great mischief can as yet have
arisen : we find, on the contrary, that the mar
ket is quite as sensitive to a rise as to a fall of pri
ces, and we should not be surprised to sec it
speedily recover itselfon receipt of the first more
peaceable intelligence from the continent. As
long as uncertainty prevails respecting the Hol
stein Danish question, and the state of Italy,in
which interests of a complicated nature are in
volved, business cannot be otherwise than lan
guid, all trasactions being confined merely to
immediate and utmost want, as a natural conse
quence of a state of suspense. Our present pro
duction is large, nnd any long interruption of the
regular course of business must exercise a de
pressing influence upon prices, particularly as
some of the more distant markets have been
supplied during the past three months. There
is an increase for the first three months, from
16th December to 16th March, compared with
the same period of last year, in cotton yarns of
6,564,282 lbs., in plain calicoes of 42,604,175
lbs., and in printed and dyed calicoes of 31,102,-
650 lbs. The purchases for the noth of Europe
as well as those for Italy have been almost an
tirely suspended. The Italian question, as far
as Upper Italy is concered, seems ;to draw to a
close, and great hopes are still entertained that
the dispute between Germany and Denmark will
be peaceably settled. The commercial acconts
per Eitropn, with letters from New York to the
7ih inst. are satisfactory, business having been
reported as in a healthy state, and stocks not
abundant.
Cotton. —The Liverpool market was not fa
vorably acted upon by the accounts per Europa,
the receipts of Cotton at the ports having been
larger than many anticipated. They exceed
those of last year by 420,000 bales. Tlie fol
lowing shows the stock of Cotton in the United
Kingdom on March 30 :

Fair New Orleans are quotad 4|d to 4|d, fair
middling 4|d to 44d. The business doing in
Liverpool is on a reduced scale, and the market
remains dull. Tlie delivery for consomntion in
Great Britain from the Ist of January up to tlie
30th instant, has been at the rate of 31,678 hales
per week, against 27,602 bales per week in 1848;
hut the actual weekly consumption has, we be
lieve, even exceeded the former, and this is prin
cipally owing to the great increase in the pro
duction of coarser yarns and heavier goods.
Most of our spinners have lowered the numbers
of yarns which they were in the habit of spin
ning, several counts, to meet the demand for
coarser goods. This is probably owing to a
change of fashion or some other accidental cause.
The present consumption of Cotton can, of
course, not be maintained, unless tranquility in
Europe be speedily restored.
The money market has, like our own, been in
a state of torpor; with an interruption of busi
ness generally, the demand for money is of
course limited. The stock of bullion in the
Bank of England was on the 17lh instant £15,-
283,779, and is not likely to become less for the
present.
The Cholera in Europe. —While in England
and Scotland the ravages of the cholera have
been stayed, in Ireland they have been fearfully
fatal. In the city of Limeric one thousand had
perished of the disorder, as many as fifty or sixty’
per day. At the last accounts, the daily deaths
had fallen to 20. Throughout the soutn of Ire
land, it had carried off many of the inhabitants.

The Mormon Temple —By a letter received ]
from P. W. Cook, who left Council Bluff last
spring for the Salt Lake, dated August 2d, writ
ten while encamped on the Sweet Water river
at the South Puss, we gather some information
which may not be unteresting. The new Mor- !
mon Temple at the Salt Lake is to be a splendid
building. They enclose a lot 17 miles long and
12 miles wide, with a mud wall 8 feet high and
4 feet thick. There are to be four cities inside.
They have discovered mountain rock that re
sembles Cornelian stone, which the writer says
is beautiful for temples and pillars. The size of
the temple is not stated, hut its highest point is
to be 600 feet, and can be seen eighty miles eith
er way. The party that went out last season
lost many of their oxen—having died with what
rhey called the “swell head.” Many of the
streams which they crossed were so strongly im- :
pregnated with alkali, that they dare not lc t
their cattle drink. On the shoes of many of the
lakes, a crust is formed an inch and a half thick.
They break up this crust, scrape off the dirt on
the bottom and top, and find it pure saleratus.
Strange as this may seem, it is nevertheless true
and the writer collected in a short time 75 lbs-
A mountain of pure rock salt has been discover,
cd near the Mormon settlement. The Mor
mons have discovered a rich goldmine 150 miles
southwest from the Salt Lake. The last end of
the journey to the Suit Lake, say 200 miles, is
attended with little fatigue. Nearly all the way
the roads are as good as on any prairie in Michi
gan.—The writer was living on the meat of
hears, antelope and bufialoos—animals arc very
numerous on the route. He recommends mule
teams instead of oxen, and that cows be driven
along for their milk, and for beef if necessary.

Fistula in Ano cured without the
use ol' the Knife.
DR W W MARSH ALL, of .Macon, 6a.,
would call the attention of the Public,to a
number of certificates published, and which lift
will continue to publish in various papers in the
State, of cases of'Fistula cured by him. In the
treatment ofFistula, 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, hail been subject to
the knife without experiencing (fie least benefit,
but rather made worse. They were perfectly
cured by Dr. M. without the use of the knife, or
any such operation, without the least danger, and
with but little or no pain. In most cases the
treatment does not prevent the ordinary pursuits
of business, although the patient is necessarily
obliged to be under tlie immediate care and su
pervision of the Doctor from one to four weeks,
accordingly as the nature and circumstances of
the case may demand.
Dr. M. does not exaggerate, when he says that
the plan of treatment he pursues is obliged to
succeed in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred,
if not in every case of Fistula.
Savannah, March 15, 1849.
This is to certify that for near fifteen years I
was afflicted with that dreadful disease. Fistula,
and for the last twelve months suffered so much
pain, as to incapacitate me almost from atten
ding to my business.—During this time I consul
ted several physicians both in this city and
Charleston, and was informed by all of them,
the disease was incurable save by the knife of the
surgeon. Learning the operation was not only
very painful hut dangerous and not always suc
cessful, I was very mush opposed to submit to it,
and allowed the disease to progress so far as to
present the alternative to submit to be operated
upon, nr die. At this time I saw Dr. Marshall's
card in the Christian Advocate, and communi
cated with him on the subject, and after being
satisfied that he did cure the disease, I determined
to place myself under his treatment, nnd he com
menced to treat my case. I remained there
four weeks and returned home nearly well, and
I am happy now to say entirely restored. I would
no doubt have been entirely well much sooner,
but kept the place irritated from riding every
day on horseback severl miles. With regard to
the Doctor s treatment, it is attended compara
tively with little pain, I was at no time confined
to the bed more than one day, and to the house
hut a very short time. He used no knife, (and
so far as 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 witli more certainty than any
physician that I have heard of, and would with
great confidence, arising from experience, advise
all who are afflicted witli this dreadful malady,
not to hesitate but at once to place themselves
under his treatment, and I doubt not their most
sanguine expectations will be realized.
ltgi ves me great pleasure to say that in ail my |
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, I found him the
perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted
christain. JAS. E. GODFREY.

Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, 1848. J
Dr. W. W. Marshall —Dear Sir—Believing
r.s ! dn.have effectually cured me of
the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painful
and dangerous disease, 1 take pleasure in contri
buting my mite for the purpose of relieving the
sufferings ofthose who may be afflicted with a
similar disease.
1 suffered from the painful effects of this dis
ease for more than two years. Three or four
Physicians, combining the talent of the State,
were employed for my relief, but their united ef
forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse
and worse—l became debilitated in body and
mind, and my friends entertained fearful appre
hensions of my recovery.
Casually looking over a paper published in
Charleston, S. C., tny attention was arrested by a
notice ofthe signal professional services of Dr.
W. W. Marshall of effecting a cure in cases of
Fistula, &c. The card purported to effect a
cure without the use of the knife or caustic. I
must say my faith was weak, but I resolved to
give him a trial. 1 placed myself under his care
and treatment. He has effected a perfect cure—
my whole frame is invigorated—he has infused
new life into my hitherto dead body—l have ex

better convictions are that you have saved me
from an tiiiiiineiy death, which the use of the

CORNELIUS M. SHARP.
Irwinton, March 20, 1848.
Dear Sir —ln compliance with your request,
I send you a certificate of the cure which you so
soon performed on me, of that dreadful disease
Fistula, and I think there is no person living,
who has greater reason to be grateful for your
kindness than myself, in being cured of "that
dreadful disease, which all who saw ine, believ
ed if not chocked, would in a short time, termin
ate my mortal existence. Sometime in the
month of April, 1846, a small hard tumor made
its appearance near the verge of the arms, which
in a short time became soft, and discharged at
times a considerable portion of offensive matter,
during which time I began to decline, and con
tinued to decline until some time in the month
of March, 1847, when I was confined to my bed,
without knowing with what disease I was af
flicted, until Dr. William Fisher, of Irwinton,
was called in, and pronounced the disease to be
Fistula in auo.
I then asked tho Doctor if lie thought he could
cure me?—he answered ho thought he could,
hut that I must expect to suffer a long time be
fore he could perform a permanent cure. The
Doctor then commenced treating the case, and
continued to do so for seven weeks, w ithout any
material benefit, and then advised me to go to
Macon and place myself under your control, as
he knew you from character, to be a gentleman
of intelligence, piety and experience. I accord
ingly went to Macon and placed myself under
your control, and in a shorter time than 1 ex
pected, found myself greatly benefilted by your
treatment.
1 have now entirety recovered tny long lost
health, and can say with propriety, that 1 enjoy
better health than I have for five years previous.
I often on inquiry hear from you, and rejoice to
hear that you are in good health, and as soon as
circumstances will permit, I will visit Macon, as
| I can then express my gratitude to you inperson.
With due respect, I am sir, your obliged and
humble servant, EDWIN TAItPLEY.
Dr. Marshall.
(UPMr. Williams, late Proprietor ofthe Wash
ington Hall, has a knowledge of Mr. Tarley'g
case, ns he boarded at the Washington Hall while
under my care.
In this case there were three abscesses, all of
them complete, viz : external and internal. The
discharge was very copious, at least a half a pint
per day, and very acrid and offensive. There
could not be a worse case to be cufeif.
