Ves, he is dead, my only child, My prattling liitle boy ! All, Father ! why didst thou withhold From me this hallowed joy ? Why didst thou nip the tender hud, Half ushered into bloom, And lay his little body down Within the narrow tomb. 9 Oft-times as at our evening meal I see his vacant chair, My memory paints the tiny form That once was stationed there : His sparkling eyes, his curling locks, llis voice so sweet and clear; His rosy lips, his little hand Os shape and whiteness rare. Or if I glance toward the hearth Where once was Willie’s glee, A dull, cold fire, with cheerless blaze, Is all that I can see. The gentle cat goes moping round, All desolate, alone— And gen’rous Fido seems to ask “Where is my master gone ?” But though each moment in the day My heart with sadness fills, Contentment to the will of God The Comforter instils : For when I offer thanks to Him In daily prayer at even, An angel whispers to my soul— “ Four Willie lives in Heaven!’’ W. F. 11. From ike Alexandria Gazette. WASHINGTON’S MARRIAGE IN 1759. We learn that Mr. .1. B. Stearns, a dis tinguished artist of New York, and late ly from Europe, has been for some days since at Arlington House in this vicinity, engaged in niukingvery beautiful and suc cessful copies from the original pictures of Col. and Mrs. Washington, the one the date of 1772, by Peale, and the other of 1750, by Woolaston, with a view to the painting of a large picture of Washing ton’s marriage, found in the Custis collec tion, and private memoirs of the life and character of Washington. The scene is laid in the ancient parish church of St. Peter, county of#few Kent, a colony of Virginia ; time, Glh of Janua ry, 1759. In the foreground, and near the altar, appears the Rev. l)r. Mossom, the officia ting clergyman, in full canonicals; he is about to present the marriage-ring. The bridegroom is in a suit of blue and silver, lined with red silk, embroidered waist coat, small-clothes, gold shoe and knee buckles, dress-sword, and hair in full powder. The bride, in a suit of white sa‘ tin, rich point lace ruffles, pearl ornaments in her hair, pearl necklace, ear-rings and bracelets, white satin high-heeled shoes with diamond buckles; she is attended by a group of ladies, in the gorgeous cos tume of that ancient period. Near to the bridegroom is a brilliant group, compri sing the vice-regal Governor of Virginia, several English army and navy officers then on colonial service, with the very elite of \ irginia chivalry of the old regime. The Governor is in a suit of scarlet, em broidered with gold, bag wig and sword ; the gentlemen in the fashion of the time. But among the most interesting and picturesque of the personages in the vari ous groups, is Bishop, the celebrated body servant of Braddock, and then of Wash ington, with whom he ended his days, af ter a service of more than forty years. This veteran soldier of the wars of George 11., forms a perfect study in the picture. His tall, attenuated form, and soldierly bearing, and with folded arms and cocked hat in hand, respectfully he has approached the bridal group, giving a touching interest to the whole scene, lie 16 in a scarlet coat, and is booted and spurred, having just dismounted, and re linquished the favorite charger of his chief to a groom. Through the large folding-doors of the church is seen the old-fashioned coach of the bride, drawn by six horses ; also the fine English charger bequeathed to Wash ington by Braddock, after the fatal field of the Monongahela. From the account of the marriage, handed down by those who were present at its celebration, it appears that the bride and her ladies occupied the coach, while the provincial colonel rode his splendid charger, attended by a brilliant cortege of the gay and the gallant of the land. Such was Washington’s marriage in 1759. Divine wisdom, says Madame dc Stael, intending to detain us sometime on earth, has done well to cover with a vei] the prospect of the life to come, for if our sight could clearly distinguish the oppo site hank, who would remain on this tem pestuous coast ? Letter from Ur. S. A. Cartwright, Detailing his Theory and Treatment oj Cholera, his recent experience in New Orleans — the result of post mortem ex aminaleon, etc. Natchez, May 28, 1849. I)r. Johnson — Dear Sir :—On a fly ing visit from New Orleans to this place, your favor of the 21st, directed to me here, reached me, and I hasten to send an an swer, as I return to New Orleans to-day. I have removed to that city—l went there soon after the cholera made its appear ance. I served an appenticeship in the Hospital before I commenced, and attend ed numerous post mortem examinations of those who bad died of cholera. The gall bladder was invariably distended vvilb black bile, the liver congested, and the great veins leading to it. The pulmon. ary arteries were very much distended with a black thick blood, and the right side of the heart and vena cava as full as they possibly could hold with the same black thick fluid. The pulmonary veins had no fk rid blood in them. The heart contain ed oyster-looking substances showing that the blood had undergone a chemical de composition The theoracic duct was emp ty, and every cavity contained a rice water looking fluid. The contents of the alimentary canal might well lie denomina ted white blood, as they agree with blood in all their chemical properties. This was owing to their being composed in a great manner of the contents of the theoracic duct. The urinary bladder, the uterus and even the fallopian tubes, contained rice water, owing, no doubt, to the watery portions of the arterial blood having per colated from the exhalent capillary arter ies instead of going into the veins. I then commenced practice. I have been prac tising medicine in New Orleans upwards of 7 months. I have had cholera cases every day, and some days a good many cases. 1 have only lost 4 cases in all, none of whom had any pulse when I first saw them. I have cured every one lo whom I have been called before the pulse failed. I now proceed to answer the question you put to me : — 1 ‘ \V bat is the best prescrip tive or course of practice in a case of chol era?” Give the patient instantly 20 grs. llydr argum cum creta, 20 grs. best ca yenne pepper, 10 grs. gum camphor, 15 grs. calcined charcoal, 15 grs. gum Arabic mixed together in two table spoons ful of cold water, and cram a wet towel in the moutli to take away the burning taste and prevent vomiting. The patient should swallow the above dose quickly, and the whole of it without stopping to taste it. lie should lie down and cover up and keep down. The doors and win dows should be opened to give fresh au to fan and feed the combustion in the lungs which burns slowly in cholera, i. e.: the change from black to red blood does not go on as in health, and the temperature falls. A jacket or a flannel shirt wrung out of scalding water and rolled into a ball as large as a child’s head until it will not drip should be wrapped in a dry cloth and applied over the stomach and bowels, as hot as it can be borne. Bottles fdled with hot water should be applied to the extre mities. Five minutes having elapsed from the taking of the powder, a spoonful of hot sago, balm, mint or chamomile sea, to be given to the patient from time to time, with a tablespoonful of cold water or a teaspoonful of pounded ice alternated with the hot tea. Now look out for a per spiration. From 10 to 15 minutes after the ponder is taken perspiration is gene rally established. If 10 the patient is safe. Nothing more is needed hut to give warm teas, or any warm fluid the patient likes best in sufficient quantities to.allay the thirst, and support the sweat. The sweat should be kept up 6 or 8 hours— then gruel to assist the Hydragum cum creta to empty the gall bladder. Then the circulation will go on through the liv er. The veneal portamen will be released from their plethora and the serous part of the arterial blood will no longer be poured from the exhalent arteries,hut find its way into the portal veins. The revulsion to the surface will cause the absorbents to suck up the fluids taken into the stomach, and the pouring hack action will be arrest ed. This sucking up action caused by the sweat will restore the natural fluidity of the blood. When the sweat is establish ed stimulants are unnecessary or hurtful as they may stop it. To put hack the lost water in the blood is the best mode of stimulating. I have thus described a case cured by one dose of medicine—a part of that dose might have been sufficient, you may suppose. A small might have fallen in with the disease and operated on the bowels. A large dose is a non-purgative because it is sudorific, revulses to the sur fice, starts a centrifugal action of the flu ids and averts the centripetal action of the disease. But if one does not sweat, give another, or half a dose ; if that does not do, bleed from the arm or cup freely over the epigastrium, and give warm stimula ting drinks to force a sweat, and apply hot applications externally. Suppose the skin gets too hot under this high stimulation outside and insule, wash the patient all over with cold water to bring the system down to the sweating point if the pulse will not hear bleeding. Suppose the ex tremities are too could to he compatible with healthy perspiration, warm them by hot applications and friction. Suppose the patient vomits the medicine, give a cup of chamomile lea, let him vomit that and then repeat the medicine. Suppose he still vomits then give one grain sulphate of morphine in a desert spoonful of cam phor water or half a grain if the cure is not urgent, and repeat after each stool or vomiting spell. As soon as the stomach is settled throw in 20 grs. Ilydrarg. cum creta, or 20 calomel. Give coffiee if the morphine be used. You may think the dose large, but if opiates he used at all in cholera the doses should he four-fold. Small doses do more harm than good. I give nothing to work the medicine off be fore the next day or the day after. A purgative before the aqueous parts of blood are restored is a dangerous thing The medicine generally works itself off. Under this plan no secondary fever fol lows. But if stimulants he used after the patient begins to sweat, secondary pain is sure to occur. Stimulants un'ilthe sweat begins arc all important—none aic too strong. Fire itself is scarcely too strong. But when a sweat is established all stim ulants internally and externally should be suspended. Then diluent drinks to thin the blood are the best of all stimulants. I often give mineral soda water, and even lemonade, for that purpose—any diluent or watery fluid that agrees best with the stomach. The patient cannot purge and sweat at the same time. The rice water in the bowels may run out after the per spiration is established, hut more cannot be poured in the bowels while the perspi ration goes on, indeed the perspiration generally causes the rice water in the bowels to he absorbed. Very respectfully, vours. % SARIL. A. CARTWRIGHT. A New Issue. —An Abolitionist incen diary, named John M. Barrett, a native of Ohio, has been lately arrested in Spar tanburg,for circulating incendiary publica tions in this State. From letters taken in his possession.it is proved that the pamph let, circulated so extensively, signed “Bru tus,” was prepared and printed at Cincin nati, Ohio. It was known that Barrett was authorized to take from the Post Office in Spartanburg a letter addressed to John Edward Thomson. Having good reasons to suppose that this letter contained im portant matter to prove Barrett’s guilt, on a proper affidavit being made, a Magis trate issued a warrant against G. W. H. Legg, the Postmaster at Spartanburg, to compel him to give the usual security to appear before the next Court of Sessions, with the said letter, as a witness against Barrett, Legg refused to he hound as a witness against Barrett, whereupon he was committed to jail. His defence is, that, according to the laws of the United States, he cannot deliver this letter to any one not duly authorized to receive it, be fore the next Court of Sessions will meet in Spartanburg. Upon second thoughts however, after some hesitancy, he has entered into the required bonds, and has been liberated. The issue raised is this : Have the criminal authorities of the State the right to compel the attendace of the agents of the Post Office Departments in this State, to hear testimony as to any crimes prepetated through the Post Office against the State, and to bring and lay be fore the courts any letters in their posses sion proving such crimes. The laws of Congress make no provision for the ease which has arisen, because it never entered into the minds of former Administrations that the action of the General Government could become perilous to the safety of or der and instead of being protector and supporter of order and law, it should, in any of its branches, be used as an instru ment of incendiaries, to carry out their schemes of insurrection and bloodshed. Now, we know not what Postmaster Gen eral Collamer may do in the premises. Mr. Kendall, one of his predecessors in the office, issued a circular to the Post masters in the Southern States, directing them not to circulate incendiary publica tions through the Post Offices in those States. We should suppose that if a Post master can suppress a letter or document, he might, for the same reasons which justify its suppression, carry it into a Court, in furtherance of the criminal laws of a State. But whether the Postmaster Gen eral shall pursue this bourse or not, we have no idea that this State will flinch from protecting itself against the flagitious con duct of the Post Office, or its agents, with in its limits. If her laws are not clear or strong enough for her protection, they will be made so. If the Federal Government thinks proper to attempt to shield its offi cers with privileges and immunities incom patible with the peace of the State, let it do so. One of two things will occur : they will have either to leave the service of the General Government, or suffer the penal ties of our State laws, though life itself should be the forfeit.— Charleston Mcrcujf.

St. John, N. 8., July 20 —Noon. 3 The Steamship Caledonia, Capt. with dates from Paris to the sth, London to the 6th and Liverpool to the 7th, ar rived at Halifax about 7 o’clock last eve ning, and will be due at her wharf, Bos ton, at an early hour on Saturday morn ing. The Caledonia has 45 passengers for Boston, exclusive of IS of the 42 survi vors of the ill-fated barque Charles Bart lett, of Plymouth, Massachusetts, Wm. Bartlett, master, which on Wednesday the 27th tilt, at about 3£ P. M., when 700 miles to the westward of Cape Clear, was run down by the steamer Europa, and sunk in 3 minutes, with 134 passengers and crew. The catastrophe occurred during a dense fog, and although the boats of the Europa were instantly lowered, and eve ry possible assistance rendered, only 42 out of the 17G souls were saved. The Captain, second mate, and ten of the crew were among the survivors. The Europa is acquitted of all blame, not only by the survivors, hut by the unan imous voice of the British press and pub lic.. A subscription of $352 was promptly raised by the passengers of the Europa, to which the proprietors have added <£2o. They likewise offered to carry the whole of the survivors from Boston lo New York free of all expense. T he Charles Bartlett was hound from London to New York with immigrants, and had on hoard 450 tons of merchan dise, consisting chiefly of lead and chalk. R. B. Forbes, Esq., a passenger in the Europa, behaved with surprising gallant ry on the occasion, and has been present ed with the gold medal of the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society. The Europa sustained no material damage by the collision. The French troops entered Rome on the 2d inst. and the city had surrendered. The French government has sent M. Lamartine as an ambassador to St. Peters burg, to protest against any interference on the part of Russia with the affairs of Italy. Accounts state that another terrible bat tle had occured between the Austrians and Hungarians at Fiume. The Austrians were again defeated, with a loss of 10,000 men. A conspiracy to overthrow the Prussian Government has been discovered, and a battle fought, in which the insuigents were defeated. Gen. Pannaker had ta ken possession of Baden.

Communication between New York and Ncw Orleans. w e are happy to see this subject enga ging the attention of the public. From a late number of the National Intelligencer we learn that measures are about being taken to construct what is cnlled the Pen insular Railroad, from St. Marys, Georgia, to Cedar Keys, Florida, on the Gulf of Mexico. We recently published articles communicated for this paper on this inte resting subject, the first of the articles be ing a reply to that of Professor Deßow in the last number of his valuable Commer cial Review. We say we arc glad that public attention is now earnestly turned to this great mat ter, for we are persuaded that a thorough examination of the subject will lead to the prompt establishment of a line so much desired, and perfectly satisfied the line will he from Savannah to Pensacola. The fact is indisputable that by the map of the United States, the route by steam ships from New York to Savannah, thence by Railroad lo Macon, Fort Gaines and Pensacola, and thence by steamships to New Orleans, is e/s short as the route from New Itork to St. Marys, thence by Rail road to Cedar Keys, and thence by steam ships to New Orleans. On the first named (or Georgia line) the length of Railroad will be about five hundred miles, and a cross Florida the length of Railroad will he about one hundred and fifty miles.— 1 lie Georgia line then can, surely, he run in less time than the Florida line, there being more Railroad on the former, and Railroad speed being greater by almost two to one than that of steamships. us pursue the comparison between the two routes a little further. The ports on the Atlantic and Gulf, respectively em braced, are St. Marys and Cedar Keys for the Peninsular route, and Savannah and Pensacola fyr the Georgia route. Any man acquainted with the geography of our Union, must know that the entrance from the Atlontic to the Savannah river is im measurably superior to that of the rivei St. Marys ; and so also must he know that the harbor of Pensacola is not only far su perior to that of Cedar Keys, hut by far the best on the Gulf of Mexico. Again, the two cities of Pensacola and Savannah in wealth and population exceed St. Ma rys and Cedar Keys twenty fold. -The country through which il is proposed to construct the Florida Railroad is unclear ed for the most part, and therefore with out population. On the Georgia line, which we have said is about five hundred miles, it will be recollected that the Cen tral Railroad from this City to Macon is part thereof. The Central Road is one hundred and ninety-one miles in length, and is paying dividends at the rate of 7 per cent. r i lie Southwestern Railroad is progressing with spirit, and in the course of a year will he finished a distance of fifty miles frorp Macon—that Road is to run to Fort Gaines, which is on the Chattahoo chee river, directly in the course to Pen sacola, and not over one hundred and six ty miles from the last named City. From Macon, the third City in wealth and pop ulation in Georgia, whence are annually shipped 150,000 bales of Cotton, to Fort Gaines, the country is rich in the produc tion of Cotton—supporting many villages and large retail stores. It is the best Cot ton country, of like extent, in the Union. A Railroad from Macon to Pensacola, three hundred miles, will therefore pay on the cost of its construction far more than a Road frym St. Marys to Cedar Keys ever can he made to pay. The Florida Road can have only the through travel, that be tween New York and New Orleans, to support it. The other line by an immense freighting business and by local travel, must far outstrip the Florida route. In Georgia the people have built and are building Railroads so quietly that our friends in New York and New Orleans do not think of us as they ought. Os late, it is true, public attention is turned to us and better knowledge of the wealth and enterprise of the State is being diffused.— Is it not remarkable that although the peo ple of Georgia actually began a year ago to build a Railroad from Macon to Fort Gaines, with a declared view of its exten sion to Pensacola, and thus of giving (all things considered) the very best line of communication between the cities of New York and New Orleans, yet the work did not seem to attract the notice of the public journals of the North or West? The ar ticle in Deßow’s Review, recommending a line every way inferior, has attracted at tention, although as yet not a dollar has been subscribed to that enterprise. Again we say, we rejoice that this important line of general travel is now being considered by the people of the United States gene rally. Savannah with her splendid steam ships, the Cherokee and Tennessee, her excellent steam packets, and the Central Road to Macon, deserves to be on this great line, and that she will he on it no one here can doubt. Even if the Peninsu lar Railroad is built, we do not doubt the fact that a Road will be constructed from the Chattahoochee River to Pensacola.— W hat would the Stock of the Peninsular line he worth, in comparison with the Stock in the Road from Macon to Pensaco la—a Road into which, at this day run the Central Railroad of 191 miles, the Macon A Western of 101 miles, the Georgia Railroad of 171 miles, and the Western A Atlantic Road of 110 miles ? I Cf Types when not carefully watched sometimes play fantastic and mischievous tricks. An exchange paper complains that an aiticlo which should have been en titled “A 1 ale of Terror Founded on Fact,” was, by some hocus pocus of the types, metamorphosed into “A Tail of a Terrier Foundered on Fat.” Leilers of llenr y C'l«y and Martin Yanllu,.,, The following letters were read at the Free Soil Convention held at Cleveland Ohio, on the 13tb inst.: Ashland, June 16,1849. Gentlemen :—I received your official letter, in behalf of the freemen of the re serve, inviting me to unite with them, at Cleveland, iri celebrating the anniversary of the passage of the ordinance of 1787 on the 13th of July next. I concur en tirely in opinion as to the wisdom of that great measure, and I am glad that it has secured to the States on which it operates an exemption from the evils of slavery. But the event of the passage of the ordin ance has never,within my knowledge,been celebrated in any one of the sixty-one years which have since intervened. It j 3 proposed, for the first time, to commemo rate it. It is impossible to disguise the conviction that this purpose originates out of the question, now unfortunately agita ting the whole Union, of the introduction of slavery into New Mextco and Califor nia. While no one can be more opposed than I am to the extension of slavery into those new territories, either by the author ity of Congress or by individual enterprise 1 should he unwilling to do anything to increase the prevailing excitement. I hope that the question will be met in a spirit of calmness and candor, and finally settled in a manner to add strength and stability, instead of bringing any danger to the exisence of our Union. In all our differences of opinion we should nfcver cease to remember that we are fellow-citi zens of one common and glorious country, nor to exercise mutual and frendly for bearance. But, gentlemen, waving all other con siderations, indispensable engagements will prevent tny attendance on the occasion to which you have done me the honor to invite me. With great respect, I am, Your friend and oh’t. servant, H. CLAY. Messrs. J. C. A aughan, T. Brown, Com mitteo. Lindenwald, July 7, 1549, Gentlemen :—1 have received the invi tation with which you have honored me, to unite with the freemen of the Reserve in celebrating on the 13th inst. the anni versary of the passage of the ordinance of 1787, and return you my best thanks for this proof of your respect and confidence. It will not be in my power to comply with your request, and it can scarcely be necessary to say to you how cordially and earnestly I concur in the policy of the great measure you desire to sustain. That the “ordinance of 1787” lies at the foundation of the growth and prosperity of the people and Slates of the Northwest —that the vigor and vitality they possess is justly attributable to its action—that the exclusion of slavery by that act, from this territory—all then held by the nation— declared the original, and rffirmed the fu ture policy of the American people— 3r.d that the influence of Government should he kept actively and perpetually on the side of freedom—are opinions which de serve, and will, 1 doubt not, at no distant day, meet with the heart-felt concurrence of the masses of the people of every sec tion of our extended confederacy. Sincerely wishing you success in your patriotic efforts, 1 am, gentlemen, A r ery respectfully, Your obedient servant, MARTIN VAN BUREN. Messrs. J. C. Vaughan, T. Brown, Coni.
