Qj»A dispatch to the Charleston Courier dated
Baltimore, July 18, states that a fire was raging
at Alleghany city, and thirty houses had been
destroyed. The firemen of that place refused to
play on the fire, as the City Council had declined
making appropriations for their apparatus. Th e
military were ordered out to disperse the mob
and protect the Pittsburg firemen, who were en
gaged in suppressing the flames.
The U. S. steamship Princeton lias arrived at
Boston from Naples.
The Cholera is still raging in the West—at
Cincinnati on the 16th, there were 87 deaths by
it, and on the 17th 60 do. At St. Louis on the
14th and 15th there were 149 deaths. At New
York it was also unabated at the last accounts.
Wonderful Escape.—The Journal & Mes
senger of Wednesday last, says: “During the
severe thunder storm on Sunday afternoon last,
the wife of Major Henry Wood, who resides
about half a mile from the city on the Houston
Road, made a most remarkable and Providen
tial escape. She was standing in the garden,
noar the house, having on her person at the time
a gold watch, with a gold guard chain, which
passed around the neck. The electric fluid
struck the chain, melting it entirely. From the
chain it passed through the watch, partially de
stroying it. Thence it escaped down her cloth
ing, doing no farther damage until it reached the
shoes, which were literally torn to pieces. Mrs.
Wood was, of course, knocked senseless at the
time, but under the usual remedies, soon after
partially recovered, and is doing well. She
was severely scorched around the neck, imme
diately where the chain rested, and was also in
jured in one of her feet; but, in other respects,
escaped unhurt. We mention particulars iri this
case, as it is unquestionably more remarkable
than any we have seen upon record.”

LATE FROM MEXICO.
A letter dated Corpus Cliristi, July 3d, con
tains the following intelligence in regard to the
Indians and the Sierra Madre revolution :
“A letter was received here yesterday by ex
press from Laredo, giving the important intelli
gence that a train ofU. S. wagons had been at
tacked between San Antonio and the Eagle
Pass, twenty miles above Presidio Rio Grande,
and thirteen teamsters killed, but one escaping.
The Indians took off all the mules. A company
ofFlying Artillery arrived at Laredo on their
"ay to Leona, but on the 27th ult. they were
ordered back to Rio Grande City. The citizens
ot Laredo, however, persuaded tho officer in
command to remain there until an answer could
be received from Gen. Ilarncy, to whom an ex
press had been sent with a request to have the
c mipany permanently stationed at Laredo.
1 lie writer says : ‘Our neighbors on the Mex.
it an side of the river (Rio Grande) are in a state
°* = reat excitement. Paredes has pronounced
for Santa Anna. The Mexican troops are all
ordered away from the line, and the National
Guard has been ordered from the frontier to Vic
toria. A revolution is about to break out, hav
lngi for its object the declaration of independ
ence this side of Sierra Madre.’ 1 believe the
above news to be authentic.”
The Corpus Chrisli Star of the 30th, gives us
the following information in regard to the In
dians :
“The latest news received from Lieut. Walk
tr states that he was closely pursuing the Indi
ans, having been seen beyond the Sulphur
Springs, and from the freshness of the trail he
thought he was quite near to them. His horses
Were pretty well tired out, but his men were

• ion of the whole Rio Grande country as deplora
ble in the extreme. From Brownsville to Lare
do, w ith the exception of the towns of the Rio
Grande City and Roma, the whole country on
this side of tile river is deserted, most of the in
habitants having taken refuge on the Mexican
side; and a region which was a short time since
covered with large farms and ranchos, and com
paratively thickly populated,has become a howl
ing wilderness.”
The Star also says “that much dissatisfaction
is felt throughout all the Northern provinces
with the present restrictive laws of Mexico ; and
that the decree creating Matamoros a compara
tively free port Imd caused deep feeling of dis
content in both the cities of Tampico and Vera
Cruz.”
The “Maccaroni” of Naples.
The following article is taken from the “Pen
ny Magazine,” a very valuable periodical, pub
lished several years ago, and illustrate the cus.
toms of the Italians, and more particularly of
the inhabitants of Naples:
“Maccaroni, or maccheroni, —the learned are
divided as to the orthography and etymology of
the word, — is the principal food of the poorer,
and the favorite dish of all classes of Neapoli
tans. So much is the case that the people of
Naples have had for many ages the nick-name of
“Mangia-maccaroni,” or maccaroni-eaters.
“A fine English lady at Paris once asked a gen
tleman of her own country who had recently ar
rived from Italy, ‘on what sort of a tree macca
roni grew r’ But, in nil probability, most of our
readers who have seen the substance do not par
take of her ignorance, but know that it is made
with wheaten flour.
“ ‘Grano duro,’ or 'Grano del Mar Nero,’ the
small, hard-grained wheat grown in the Russian
territories on the Black Sea, and shipped at
Odessa and Tangarok, is considered best for the
purpose, and was once imported into Naples for
the maccaroni manufacturers. As that kingdom
is essentially agricultural itself, the importation
of this foreign corn was felt os an fcvil; but as
the manufacturers always declared they could
not produce good maccaroni without it, and as a
deterioration in the quality of the national dish
would be felt as a serious national calamity, the
import trade continued to be allowed, though the
Neapolitan agriculturist frequently could not
find a market for his home-grown corn. A wi
ser step, however, than prohibition, was *o pro
cure and cultivate the particular hard grain in
I'tP'r territories, and tips lias now been done for
many years in Apu'ia, where the soil and cli
mate are considered as most favorable. This
grano duro is chiefly shipped at 31anfredonia,
Barlctta, Bari, and other ports on the Adriatic,
and is sold in the Neapolitan market under the
name of the port it comes from.
“The best maccaroni is made entirely of the
grano duro; but, in the inferior qualities, this is
sometimes mixed with soft wheat. The conver
sion of the flour—which is somewhat more
coarsely ground than that intended for bread—
into the long, round strings called maccaroni, is
effected by a very simple process. With the
addition of wateralone, the flour is worked up
into paste, and this paste is kneaded for a length
of time, by a heavy, loaded block of wood,
which beats into the trough where the paste is
deposited ; this block or piston is attached to a
beam acting as a lever, whore fulcrum is near to
the block, whilst the other extremity of the
beam is some eight or ten feet from the fulcrum.
One or more men or boys seat themselves astride
at the farther end of this beam, and, descending
with their own weight and springing up by put
ting their feet to tfte ground, give the requisite
reciprocating motion to the lever. They, in fact,
play at see-saw with the block at the shorter end
of the lever ; and the effect produced on the eye
c. the stranger by a large manufactory where
several of these machines and a number of stur
dy fellows, nearly naked and all bobbing up and
down, are at work, has something exceedingly
ludicrous in it. When the paste has been suffi
ciently kuesded, it is forced, by simple pressure,
through a number of circular holes, the sizes of
which determine the name to be given to be giv
en to the substance.—That of superior diameter
is maccaroni, that smaller is vermicelli, and
that smaller still is called fedelini. The mac
caroni is hollow throughout, and many persons
have been puzzled to know how it is formed into
these long tubes. Nothing is more simple. Over
each of the larger holes meant for maccarori, a
small copper bridge is erected, which is suffi
ciently elevated to pass under it into the hole:
from this bridge depends a copper wire which
goes right through the hole, and of course leaves
hollow the paste that descends through the hole.
Such of our readers as have seen our common
clay-pipes for smoking manufactured, will read
ily understand this,for this part of the process is
the same for maccaroni as for pipes. There are
some minor distinctions in the preparation of
these respective articles which it would be tedi
ous to explaiu, but the material and main pro
cess are the same in all. When the paste has
lt p .en forced through the holes, like wire through
a wire-drawer’s plate, a workman takes up tite
maccaroni or vermicelli and hangs it across a line
to dry. From the long kneading it has received,
the substance is very consistent, and dries in
unbroken strings that are two or three yards in
length.
“In respectable Neapolitan houses maccaroni
is on the dinner-table at least twice or thrice a
week, —in many, every day. It is served up
first; and on maccaroni days,generally speaking,
no soup appears. The writer would rack his
memory and ingenuity in vain in attempting to
describe the numerous ways in which it is cooked.
But these are two of the most common prepara
tions. The maccaroni is thrown into a caldron
containing boiling water, care being taken to
bend and not to break the strings more than ne
cessary (for half the beauty of this paste consists
in the length of its fibre), and it is there left to
boil until, front white, it assumes a greenish
tinge, which, if properly managed, it does in
about a qua!ter of an hour.”

RELIGIOUS MEDITATION'S—NO. X.
“all is vanity, and vexation of spirit.”
I have seen the calm and peaceful bosom of
the ocean, when it was unruffled by a wave—
the blue firmament above was mirrored on the
glassy surface of the water, and in the dim dis
tance the azure sky seemed united with the pla
cid water. The breath of the breeze laid gently
on the canvass-sail, ard kissed the fragile bub
bles in their last expiring moments. Just then
a little porous body met my eye : its form was
symmetry and grate, and as it floated noislessly
upon the water’s edge, it reflected all the radi
ant beauties of the heavens and the sea. It was
but slightly sprinkled by the spray, and the un
feeling current had not penetrated the beautiful
cells within its body. Mcthought it was the
picture of a man, and I turned to look upon a
mother with an infant on her knee. She held
the smiling babe, and kissed its rosy cheek with
parental fondness, while a pleasant twinkling of
its eye made answer to her tender caresses. In
the mother s heart I could read the career oflio
nor which she had marked out for her boy, and
hope was whispering in her car that he would ful
fil her fondest expectatious. I turned again, and
the beaueous boat was fast approaching—but as
it grew nearer to the vessel’s side, I could see
the blue drops filling the little globes, and ad
ding more to the weight of the wood ; and pre
sently I saw a gay-winged butterfly light upon it,
and in a moment more the waves began to stir
themselves, and tossed the swimmer to and fro
on their bosoms—and then a cloud gathered
overhead, and filled the pores of the floating
wood, and it gunk, to rise no more. In a’few
hours after, I heard the expressions of anxiety
from a distressed mother. The tear stood upon
the edge her eyelid, and a presentiment of
evil probed her heart to its very core ; her only
child lay sick. And then 1 stood by the cradle,
and watched his purple lip, and the heaving of
his breast as the spirit took its everlasting flight.
It is vain to trust in man, or to suffer the ties of
inordinate affection to be bound around him.
I inet a politician to-day, as I passed along the
crowded street. Ilis step was firm and manly ;
his eye was bright, and an air of self-esteem and
conscious greatness followed in his footsteps.—
He was the candidate for office, and sanguine
friends and cherished hopes say the position wilj
be his. He said in his haughty mien that he
was wise and great: but I thought that he was
ueither. Had he been wise, he never would
have entrusted his fair name and character to
the keeping ofpartizan sycophants and political
demagogues. He was not wise, or he might
have fathomed the selfish motives of those who
seek his elevation to effect their own ; and the
very praises which they belch out in his favor>
would sound like hollow-hearted mockery in his
ears. Again, he was not wise, or he would ne
ver spurn the Fountain of wisdom and truth, to
gain emolument from sources of vice and cor
ruption. But he fancies himself a great man,
because he says the country will be ruined if he
is defeated: so he is the arbiter of her destiny.
Alas ! the honesty of all partizan politicians
would be insufficient to uphold the Union, were
the Almighty to withhold his strengthening and
sustaining hand. But he is a man of policy ;he
is consistent in his political principles: and yet
is a perfect paradox. For he cultivates his mind
in one particular, and suffers it to lie like barren
and neglected soil in another; he provides for
the future in time, and thinks not of eternity ;
he seeks the good will of men, and scorns that
of God and angels! “Vanity of vanities!’’
Fellow-traveller to the grave ! death will rob
you of your honors, and the tomb will strip you
of respect! Listen! do you not bear the nim
ble tread of the Reaper, as the command goes
forth, “cut him down, why cumbereth he the
ground?” look, he raises his scythe and pre
pares to execute vengeance upon your guilty
head ! Speak now in supplication and peniten
cy, or in a moment nioreyou may be compelled
to howl in hopeless despair !
Here is a man made of money : his heart is big
with it; his mind is full of it; he stints his dres s
and covers himself with it; he dines on scanti
ness to save a shilling; he denies himself the
needtul rest of body to muke a penny; his Sab
bath days are spent in posting books, and cast
ing up accounts; he lias exhausted all his pow
ers of intellect—driven every benevolent emo
tion from his soul—withdrawn himself from so
cial intercourse with his fellow-men—thinks of
meney, longs for money, dreams of money, and
gets money—for what? He will not enjoy it
by spending his treasures liberally, so he can
be only heaping up gold and silver to the moun
tain s height, in order that 110 may die at its
foot! “ Thou fool ! this r.iglit shall thy soul be
required of thee; then whose shall all these
things be?’ By thy wealth, 011 foolish man !
•hou mayest send the Gospel—the riches of
Heaven—to thousands of dying souls, and thus
put thy money to interest, and when the day of
reckoning comes, thou wouldest receive a hun
dred fold of inestimable treasures in return for
that which will otherwise be thy condemnation.
Reflect, oh slothful servant! thine is not a “hard
master, gathering where he hath not strewn,
and reaping where he hath not sown,” but will
be compelled, in the great leniency of His'jus
tice, to consign thee to “outer darkness, where
will be weeping and gnashing ofteeth.”
When 1 look around, upon my fellow-beings>
following after the pursuits of the world, and
groping in the dark after empty and unsatisfy
ing baubles of time and sense, being blinded by
the god of this world, I am constrained to say,
with the wise man ofold, “Vanity of vanities ;
all is vanity,” and to enquire with Paul, “Oh,
foolish Galatians! who hath bewitched you ?”
Yet, in the midst of moral gloom, “there are a
few names, even in Sardis,” whose feet are
guided by the lamp of truth. But they are too
few. “Arise and shine, oh Daughter of Zion,
and put on thy beautiful garments,” for the
redeemed of thy people are falling to the re
gions of woe and despair!
My Soul ! hast thou nothing to do ? Shake off
the dew-drops of sloth, and proclaim from the
house-tops the goodness, mercy, long-suffering,
and reconciliation of Jehovah. Soon the night
will succeed the morning ofthy strength,and then
thou mayest not cry,‘Behold the Lamb!’ ZAO.

WHILE so much is being said and done by
Gentlemen of a different persuasion, for
the purpose of elevating their profession ill the

and denunciatory’ of all and every other; while
the prejudices of the past are being aroused, and
the fears of the future are being appealed to;
while legislative aid is being invoked, and ad
verse interference denounced ; while the freedom

especially of those of the “sacred profession,”

&c.; be it the pride, the liappincss, and the glory
of the undersigned, to put his trust in that which
is far more substantial—“lAc results of his
practice." These are his dependence, and to
them he looks for that “professional” elevation
to which he aspires ; and judging ofthe future
by the past, he has every rcasun to believe that
be will not be disappointed. Influential bodies
may rail, ridicule, and donounce; legislation
may place its ban and promulgate its anathe

One of which at any time, is worth a thousand
arguments. On them he has laid the base, and
on them he expects to raise the superstructure ;

more to the list, already before the public.
The following letter is from the Rev. John
W. Mills of the Florida Conference, of the M.
E. Church South ; who without the fear of the
Faculty before his eyes, dares their rebuke and
accusation of guilt of “painful and mortifying”
conduct, and boldly gives his experience to the
world. It is too late in the day for men to
school themselves into the repression of their
convictions:
Quincy, Florida, April 10th, 1849.
Dr. M. S. Thomson— Dear Sir : With inex
pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines. Since
I received your Medicines, and commenced fol
lowing your prescription, my health is so im
proved that I do not now feel the least symptoms
of disease, my morbid appetite left me on the
commencement of taking your medicines: every
thing I eat now agrees with me, aud I am satis
fied with a common meal.
My Spleen was very much enlarged, and my
kidneys failed to do their office when I last wrote
you, but these are now corrected
The miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, has left me, and I now sleep sweetly ;
indeed my whole system is regular and easy.
So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those
of them who did not know that I was taking
your medicine,) were astonished on meeting
with me at the improvement in my health.
When I compare my present condition with
my miserable condition a few months ago, I can
not express the gratitude I feel toward you. I
now enter into conversation with life, as I once
did, and the same zeal that once burned in my
heart for the Church lias been kindled afresh,
with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity
and forgetfulness, which disease had engendered,
and I yet hope to live long to preach the un
searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some
medicines left, die. 1 am, dear sir, yours grate
fully, JOHN W. MILLS.
Persons desirous oftesting the efficacy ofthesc
remedies in their own cases, no matter where
they reside, can do so very conveniently by send
ing their age and symptoms in writing as correct
ly as possible, when medicines to suit their va
rious cases will be compounded and sent by mail,
express or private hand. In order that all
may partake of the benefits resulting from the
use of liis remedies, his charge for the treatment
of such cases as do not require his personal atten

may be sent by mail at his risk.'
Acute cases, and those requiring personal at
tention, will be charged in accordance with the
established rates of other city Physicians.
The inconvenience of having little sums scat
tered all over the country has induced hrm for
the future to have his terms cash, or when that
is varied from, it must be with the express prom

subjecting him to the trouble and expense of col
