.4me b,can Cities.—lt will seem curious to
those who are not aware of the fact, that the
first towns built by Europeans upon the Ameri
can continent were St. Augustine in Fast Flori
da, and Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico.—
The river Gila was explored before the Missis
,ippi was known, and gold was sought in Cali
fornia long ere the first white man endeavored
to find a homo on the shores of New England
There are doubtless trees standing within the
fallen buildings ofancient Panama, that had com
menced to grow when the sites of Boston and
New York were covered with the primeval wil
derncss.
The grow th of American cities is unparalleled
,n the history of the world. Already half a mil
lion arc embraced within the limits and suburbs
of New York, and half that number within those
of Philadelphia. New Orleans contains about
a hundred and fifty, Boston one hundred and
thirty five, Baltimore one hundred and fifty thou
sand inhabitants. The second child born in
Cincinnati, it is said, is still living, and has not
reached the middle age of life, while the city has
a population of 100,000. St. Louis had 1,090
in 1810 ; sixteen thousand in 1840 ; for
ty thousand in 1845 ; and is probably now not
less than sixty thousand. Buffalo contained two
thousand four hundred and twelve in 1825; in
1846, twenty nine thousand seven hundred and
seventy three ; and now contains about forty
five thousand. In 1828, the population of Low
ell was three thousand five hurdred and thirty
two, it is now more than thirty thousand. Chi
cago, a place scarcely luigwn on the latest maps,
has already reached a population of eighteen
thousand ; and Milwankie, of stili more recent
origin, is rivaling it in its growth and popula
tion.
Father Mathew's Seal. —The private seal
of the Rev. Theobald Mathew represents a foun
tain bursting from a rock, with the following
motto -.
“Drink from the bubbling fountain—.drink it free;
’Rivas good for Sampsom, and 'tis good for thee.”
Jj* Mr. Thomas J. Myers, in a communica
tion to the Frederick (Md.) Examiner, states
that the water in the Monocacy river lias assum

retains when dipped up in a glass. The color
changed over night on the 4th August, and lias
continued green for ten days. lie calls on the
scientific for an explanation.
The Mayor of Charleston has informed the
Council that the juger at the Arlesian Well had
attained the depth of 919 feet ; that since the
marl strata had been passed, an influx of sand
ami c ay had arisen, which rendered it necessa
ry Unit the bore should he tubed. Mr Welton
was now engaged in ryming out, which process
would enlarge the orifice from its original diam
eter of 3.J to G inches. The rate of rytning av
eraged about 20 feet per diem. The work was
ordered to proceed.
The Mackerl Fishery. —It would seem,
according to the statement of the Gloucester Tel
i giapli, that the prospects of a profitable “catch”
are increasing Several vessels have arrived at
Gloucester, recently from Cashe’s l.cdgc, with
full fares of fish, mostly No. 2's.
Overheated Horses.— During the rcci nt
hot weather many horses have been lost. A
distinguished veterinary surgeon, of New York,
j savs nine tenths of them might be saved, if a
proper course of treatment had been adopted.—
lie says nothing will do so well to restore a
horse perishing from the effects of heat as a lit
tle gin or brandy, with double of the quantity of
water added to it. A t-poonful of this is to he
given every five minutes, until reaction lakes
piaco, when the animal will ho in the most eas
es re- ored, and able to walk to his stable in less
tliau an hour.
Maine. —The Senate of .Maine has passed a
bill to abolish capital punishment, after amend

an execution at the end of a year from sentence,
otto commute the punishment to imprisonment
for life.
Gen. Shields will be re-elected to the

Moke United States. —The New York
Commercial Advertiser says “The Territory not
yet formed into States, will make forty-six and
a half States as large as Pennsylvania. Os these,
thirty-five will be North of 36 deg. 30 min.—or
free States. Eleven and a half South of 36 deg.

compromise line to be adopted. The United

Methodist Church Property Question.
In tiie Richmond Christian Advocate we find a
letter from the Rev. Dr. Bascntn, one of the
Commissioners of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, explaining why the Soutlie-n
branch of the Church has instituted legal pro
tnedings for the recovery of its share of the
Church property, notwithstanding a proposal to
arbitrate had been made. l)r. Bascom sins:
“ Tile quasi proposition to arhitate, originat
ing with the Northern General Conference of
1848, and suspended upon a series of improba
ble contingencies : some of which acre liable
to be determined by a single individual, (cho
sen, too, by the defendants,) in any suits that
might be brought—is expressly directly, or in
directly, in terms or by application, include the
charter fund ; although, in the plan of separ
ation, this fund is specified in the same law of
distribution, with the “hook concern.”
“ It will be in place to say in contusion, that
the Southern Commissioners have reliable no
tice from the North, that should the question be
aibitrated, and a decision be given favorable to
the South, suits will be brought immediately, in
case of any division ofthe Church property what
ever, with the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. Arbitration, therefore, will notkeep the
question out of the Courts of the country, and
any further delay, by the Southern C jimtiission.
ers, in bringing suit, is worse than useless, be
sides an act of injustice to thousands of needy
and injured claimants.”
Gptta Perciia Tubing.—A series of inter
esting experiments has lately been concluded at
the Birmingham Waterworks, Eng., relative to
the strength of gutta percha tubing, with a view
to its applicability for the conveyance of water.
The experiments were made under the direc
tion of Mr. 11. Rolfe, cn ginccr, upon tubes of
three quarters of an inch in diameter, and one
eighth thick, of gutta percha. They were at
tached to the iron main, and subjected for two
months to a pressure of two hundred feet head
of water, without being in the slightest degree
deteriorated. In order to ascertain, if possible,
the maximum strength of the tubes, they were
connected with the Water Company’s livdrau
lic proofing pump, the regular load of which is
230 lbs. on the square inch. At this point tliey
were unaffected, and the pump was worked up
to 337 lbs., hut to the astonishment of every
one, the tubes remained perfect. It was then
proposed to work the pump up to 590 lbs., but
it was found that tlie lever of the valve would
bear no more weight. The utmost power ofthe
hydraulic pump could not burst the tubes. The
gutta percha, being slightly elastic, allowed the
tubes to become a little expanded by the extra
ordinary pressure which was applied, hut on its
withdrawal they resumed their former size.

Beet Root Sugar —The Paris Monitor pub
lishes an official report from the Minister of
Commerce, relating to a discovery made by a
Chemist named Melsens, which iftrue, will rev
oluiinnize the whole system of making sugar,
both beet root and cane. 11 is stated that almost
the only labor required is to get the beet root and
cane juice ready, when a certain powder is
thrown in among the liquor, and the sugar begins
to form into chrystals perfectly clarified, the su
gar produced being of the purest white• We
are alraid, that this alleged discovery promises
too much, hut as the French Government has
appointed a Commission to make the experi
ments, wc will soon know whether it is a real
or only a pretended discovery. If true, it is the
greatest discovery ofthe present century.
The Hungarian Cause. —The Washington
Republic has received private letters from War
saw to the middle of the past month which give
a more distinct idea of the character of the wa r
now waged by the Austrian and Russian Einpe
rors on Hungary than any account which has
yet reached us. Vast supplies were daily' being
sent from Warsaw to the army, and it was evi
dent that no steps would be neglected to reduce
the Hungarians to submission. All admit the
horror of the war, the atrocious manner in which
it is conducted, and the great doubt of its suc
cess. The Russians see with dismay that they
have to anticipate nothing hut the possession of
a wilderness—the Hungarians destroying every
district as they leave it, and poisoning every
fountain. The sympathies of all the neighbor
ing nations are with the heroic soldiers of Kos
suth, and the Emperor of Russia evidently did
not anticipate such a war as he meets with.—
There are sixty thousand Hungarians in Comorn
—a strong bomb-proof fortress on which, though
it is closely invested, the allies have been able
to make no impression. The garrison is six times
larger than is necessary; and if Bern and Deni
binski are able to raise the siege, tiic allies will
receive a blow from which they cannot recover ;
and the Hungarian army in the field thus
strengthened, could not but triumph.
Look at this picture. —A California cor
respondent ofthe Mobile Advertiser says : “Any
man capable of enduring hard labor realizes his
ounce per day ; but I see hundreds of poor, dis
appointed gold-seekers daily from the mines,
who have not a dollar. Either unable to endure
the labor, or unfortunate in the selection of pla
cers, they have abandoned the project of digging.
Many resort to drink and dissipation for conso
lation, others are returning home. The average,
digging is about an ounce per day. There is
destined to be more ruined fortunes, poor, heart
broken and disappointed men here, than was ev
er collected together in one land before. There
is gold hero, and a plenty of it, hut not one in
ten that comes here, is, or will be any the better
of it; if he digs, he must nay half he makes for
a living in the mines, and it he loses his health
he pays the other hall for a little medical atten
dance. Let those come hero who have no home,
! no occupation, no friends or families dependent
! upon them, and whose position is thnt ol a ci
; pher in society. All the world is the same to
them ; with such, fortune is an unlookcd for
triumph, and misfortune brings with it none of
the stinas of disappointment.
Beau tiful Extract. —The Indipendent Or
der of Odd Fellows boast of a peculiar philoso
phy, but which is nothing more than Christian
benevolence under another name, as is plain from
the following elegant and glowing description
of it, taken from an oration of a brother of the
order :
“Her’s is a calm sweet realm. ITcr’s are the
green pastures and the still waters—her’s the
ways of pleasantness, and the paths of peace.—
The garden which she tills is the human heart,
and the seeds which she scatters will bear their
fruit in heaven. Her’s arc not the pomp of
science, the splendor of genius, the glitter of
wealth, the might of armies. With her pale fin
ger she points to the annals of the past, and
they all become but as chaff upon the bosom of
the wind. Yet she stops not here. Speaks she
now in tones as solemn as a midnight bell, of
the nothingness of human greatness. Listen
again ! and ye shall hear her clarion voice, pro
claiming aloud, that human virtue never dies !
Appears she now with the shadows of death
upon one hand, and the history of the wor’d up.
on the other, to teach how pitiful is individual
ambition and how senseless the love of self!—
look again ! and ye shall behold her descending
upon her angel pinions of “love and charitv,”
to gather the entire human family beneath their
ample folds. Comes she now in tiie shape of a
hoary philosopher, worn and bent with the
weight of years—lo ! she comes again in the
shape of a ministering angel, with smiles of sym
pathy, and tears of pity, to the abode of want,
and the house of death.”

C COMMENT IS UN'NEC ESS A R Y—Another
) EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASTHMA.
Blountsvili.e, Jones County, Ga., )
August 7th, 1849. y
Dr. M. S. Thomson —Dear Sir —Being under’
the impression that a short statement relative to
my case might he productive of good to many
that are now afflicted us I have been, and being
desirous of.adding my testimony- in favor of your
system of practice and skill in curing disease, I
have concluded to give it, desiring, if you think
proper, to have it published to the world.
STATEMENT:
In September, 1845, I wa* attacked with Asth
ma, which continued to return at intervals, more
or less frequent, for two years. I applied to
some of the most eminent mineral physicians iu
the State of Mississippi, where I resided, but
without benefit—for I continued to get worse—
so mueli so, that from Ist September, 18-17, I
had an attack every night , with only five excep
tions, till February, 1849. During this long pe
riod of nearly eighteen mouths, my condition
was one of terrible suffering, compelled as I
was, to sit up almost all the time trying to catch
my breath, which every minute seemed as if it
were to be the last ; indeed, I have been for ten
days at a time that I dared not place my head
upon a pillow, wheezing and breathing in a
manner to have been heard over a hundred
yards.
Having exhausted the skill and means of the
Allopathic practitioners, like a drowning man
catching at straws,! resolved to employ ajlomce
opathic Doctor, who for a time, treated my case;
but alas! he also failed and left me in the very
depths of despair.
In this condition I left Mississsppi and came to
Georgia, and in January of this year, as a forlorn
hope, placed myself under your care in Macon.
You there saw, with many others, my condition,
which for a while,was just as described. I was
reduced to nearly skin and hone, weighing only
110 lbs., my general health having suffered se
verely from the repeated attacks of try fell tor
mentor ; but it was not long before ! commen
ced improving. At first, I would miss one night,
then two, then more ; my general health also
improved, until now, lam proud to say, that
through your instrumonnality, I enjoy excellent
health— have had no attack of Asthma since the
first week in March, and now weigh 145 lbs.,
my usual standard of weight in health.
Since then, I have exposed myself during all
this rainy season to ali weathers, without being
attacked, which fuily justifies and warrants me
in making tnis statement, requesting its publica
tion, trusting that others similarly situated, may
be admonished to cease looking for a cure where
it cannot be found, hut resort at once to the means
that have so happily, and in such a limited peri
od restored mo to health.
With abounding feelings of gratitude, respect
and esteem, I remain vours sincerely,
CYRUS L. HOLMES.

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

the prejudices ofthe past are being aroused, and
the fears ofthe future arc being appealed to;*
while legislative aid is being invoked, and nil-j

of speech and of opinion in professional men, I
especially of those of the “sacred profession,” j
are eudevoured to be curtailed, and their con- !
duct in giving contcnance to other systems de- j

ofthe undersigned, to put his trust in that which
is tar more substantial—“(/ic results of his
practice. These are his dependence, and to ;
them he looks for that “professional*’ elevation
to which lie aspires ; and judging of the future
by the past, he lias every reason m believe that \
he will not he disappointed. Influential bodies
may rail, ridicule, and donounce ; legislation
may place its ban and promulgate its anatbe- J
mas ; individuals may scandalize, backbite, and !
traduce, hut “facts arc stubborn tilings:”
“Are chcils that winna ding,
And dar na be disputit”—
One of which at any time, is worth a thousand
arguments. On them he has laid the base, and
on them lie expects to raise the superstructure ;
and in accordance with usage, will still append
more to the list, already bes >re the public.
Tiie following letter is from the Rev. John
W. Mil.s of the Florida Conference, of llie 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,18!9.
Dr. M. S. Thomson — Dear Sir : With inex
pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines Since
1 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, rnv morbid appititc left me on the
commencement of taking your medicines: every
thing I eat now agrees with me, and I uni satis
fied with a common meal.
My Spleen was very much enlarged, and my
kidneys failed to do iheiroffice 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 oil meeting
with meat the improvement in my health.
Wlmn 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 1 once
did, and the same zeal that once burned in my
heart for the Church has 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. 1 have yet some
medicines left, &c. I am, dear sir, yours grate
fully, JOHN W. MILLS.
Persons desirous of testing the efficacy of these
remedies in their own cases, no matter leltcre
they reside, can do so very conveniently by send

—the Public u ill learn the origin, or rather where tho
recipe for making the stud' they call Old Dr. Jacob
Townsend’s Sarsaparilla, came from—and will be able
to judge which is the genuine and original, and of the
honesty of the men who are employed in selling it as
the original Di Townsend’s Sarsaparilla. Dr. S. P.
Townsend was the original proprietor and inventor of
Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla, and his medicine has
gained a reputation no other remedy ever gained.
He manufactured over one million of bottles last year,
and is manufacturing at present 5,000 bottles per day.

establishment each day, thaa> all the other Sarsaparilla
Manufacturers in the world. Principal Office, 12G

READ THE AFFIDAVIT.
City and County of XewYork, m-
William Armstrong, of the said City, being duly
sworn, doth depose and say that he is a practical
Druggist am! Chemist. That some time in the latter
part of May, or first of June, 1343, a man bj- the name
of Jacob Townsend, who at that time was a book and
pamphlet peddler, called upon deponent, at the house
of .Mr. Thompson, No 12 Hudson-strect, where depo
nent bearded, and requested deponent to write him a
recipe by which to make a Syrup of Sarsaparilla.
Deponent further ays. that he* became acquainted
with said Townsend at the office of Theodore Foster,
Esq., Book Publisher, with whom said Townsend
dealt That said Townsend had had frequent conversa
tions with dejHinent respecting the manufacture of au
article of r'ursaparilia to be kolu under the name of Dr
Jacob Townsend.
That *nnl Townsend stated he was an old man, and
poor, and was not fit for hard labor—and wished to
make some money, in order to live easy in his old
days, and that, if Sarsaparilla under the name of Town
send sold vo well, and so much money was made by
it, he could see no reason why he might not mako
something out of it too. (his name being Townseqd.)
if he could get a cupable person to prepaid a recipe,
and manufacture it lor him. Deponent in one of the
conversations asked said Townsend if he was related
to Dr. 8. P. Townsend, to which he replied, that he
knew Dr. S. P. Townsend would be down on him after
ho should commence. But that he did not care for
him, he had formed aco partnership with men w r ho
could furnish the requisite amount of capital—and was
well prepared to defend himself agaiiut any attack
that might be made on him.
Deponent fuither says, that pursuant to the request
of t.aul Jacob Townsend, he wrote a recipe for th«
manufacture of a Syrup of Sarsaparilla, anJ gave it to
him. Stud Townsend observed that he wanted to
make a specimen lo exhibit to bis partners for their
approval, as he wished*lo giutifv them in every thing,
a* they furnished all tin* capital—said Townsend also
told depi.iicut that the bottles they were to use were
to hi* of the same size and shape as Dr. S. P. Tow n
send's, an i deponent, at the request of said Jacob
Townsend, went to the office of Dr. S P. Townsend,
and procured one of his labels.
And deponent further says that be lias been inform
ed. and veiily believes the Syrup of Sarsaparilla, soi l
as Old Jacob Tow use lid’s, is made after the recipe fur*
nisheri by deponent, to Jacob Townsend, a* aforesaid.
And further deponent saith not.

PROOF!! PROOF!!!
Here i pn > t conclusive that Dr. S. P. Townsend’s
Sars.iptmlh is the original. The following is from
some ofthe uiu.t respectable papers in this State.
FROM THE
Albany Evciiliig •Tomiial.
Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla.
There probably never hos been so popular a remedy,
or patent medicine, as Dr. Tow intends'h Sarsaparilla,
which was originally, and continues to be manufac
tured in litis city, ot first by the Doctor himself, ami
afterwards for several years and to the present time,
by Clapp Townsend, the present proprietors. Since
the partnership was formed, the Doctor lias resided in
-New Ye k, where he keeps a store, and attends to the
business that accumulates at that point. The manu
factory is in this city, and in conducted by the junior
partner, Mr. Clapp—here all the medicine is manufac
i an and.
Few of Mir rilizerw have any idea of the amount of
this medmine that is manufactured and sold. Besides
the sales in this country, it is shipped to the Canadas,
West-India l daiids. South America, and even to Eu
rope, in considerable quantities*. At the manufactory
they employ a sterna engine, besides a large number
of men, women and giiis, in tlie preparation of the
medicine, making b«>\es, printing, Uc , nnd turn out,
re,*dy for hipment, over -100 do. » n per day, or nearly
6000 bottles. This is an enormous quantity.
The great sale tiie medicine lias Required, lias in
duced a number Os men to get tip imitations, and there
i ; at the present time, other medicines for sale, that
are called “ Dr. T uwii-end’s Sarsaparilla.” One in nnr
iicHiar started a short time r.go In New York, is called
" Old Doctor Jacob Tow use i id’s Sarsaparilla,” and ap
parently with a view, by dint of ad\ertishig, and the
usual remedies resorted to iu such efforts, to appropri
ate the name of Dr. S. P.-Townsend’s great remedy,
and thus gain all the advantages resulting from Do?
popularity of the name winch he has acquired for Tl,
by years of patient and expensive label’s. Dr. 8. f
Townsend, lorrhVrly of this city, as is well know n
here, is the inventor and original proprietor of tho
medicine known as l, Dr Townsend’* Sarsaparilla,*’
end we think those persons who are attempting (oseli
their article as the genuine, should be exposed
FROM THE
Xew York Dally Tribune.
Cr?- Wo published an advertisement inadvertently
some time since that did injustice t«» Dr. 8. P. Tow n
send, w ho is the original proprietor of tiie preparation
of Karsaparilla known us Dr. Other
parties have within the past lew months engaged or
connected themselves with a man by the name of
Townsend who put up a medicine and calls it by the.
same name This medicine was advertised in The
Tribune as the original, Ike. Thte advertisement also
contained matter derogatory to the character of Dr,
S. P. Townsend and that of his medicine. We regret
it ppi**ared, and injustice to the Dr. make this ex
planation.
FROM TIIE
Vcw York Daily Shu.
Dn. Tow.Nsr.Ni/s extraordinaij ad* ertisement,which
occupies on entire page ol the Sun, will not escape
notice. Dr. 8 P. 'l ow nstmd, who is the original pro
prietor of Dr. Townsend's huisriparilia, and whose of
lice is next door to oms, where he lias been for sever
al years, is driving an immense business. Ha receives
no less than four hundred dozen of Bars»pariila per
day, and even this enormous quantity does not supply
the demand. No medicine ever gained so great a
popularity as his preparation of the Sarsaparilla. His
edition of Almanacs lor 1349 cost $*4:2,000, and he
has paid the New York S vet for advertising, in tho
la.st lour yours, over SIO,OOO, and he acknowledges
that it is the cheapest advertising he has had done.
This medicine is exported to the C anadas, West In
dies, South America and Europe, in considerable
quantities and is coming into general use ia those
countries, as w ell as here.
Swindlers.
Drutrgists and Sarcr.psrilla for lu*
genuine and oiiginal Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla,
that is not signed by S-. P. Townsend, commits a fraud,
and swindles the customers. Men that would be
guilty of such an act, would commit any other fraud
-and no Druggist of common intelligent but knows
that ouis is the onh genuine.
Old Jacob Townsend,
Some people who aro not w ell informed, end have
not read the papers, and not seen our advertisements,
have been led to suppose, that because these men ad
\ erti e their stuff a- •* Old Jacob Townsends,” that it
must, of course, be the original. It is less than one
year since they commenced to make their inedicinfc.
Ours has been in the market over ten years.
Tlils Old Jacob Town send.
They are endeavoring to palm off on the public as
an old Physician, &c. lie is not a regular educated
Physician, and rover attempted to manufacture a med
icine, until these men hired him for the use of his
name. They say they do not wish the people to be
lieve that their Sarsaparilla is ours, or the same—but
the better to deceive the public, they at the same time
assert that tlieir's is the Old Dr. Townsend’s, and tho
original; and endeavor to make the people believe
that the stuff they manufacture, is the Dr. Townsend's
Sarsaparilla, that has performed so manv wonderful
cures lor the past ten years, and which has gained a
reputation which no other medicine ever enjoyed —
which is a base, villainous, unprincipled falsehood.
We have commenced suits against these men for
damages. We w Nh it to be understood, that the old man
is no relation to Dr. Townsend w hatever. In their ad
vertisements and circulars, thej' publish a number ol'
gross iiilseboods respecting Dr. Townsend, which w«
v. ill not notice.
False Report*.
Our opponents have published in the papers, that
Dr. S. P. Tow nsend was dead. This they send to their
agents about the country, who report that we have
gn en up business. Sec. &.*e. The public should be on
their guard, and not be deceived by these unprinci
pled men. #
