.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 ed an appearance as green as grass, which it even 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 ing it so as to give the Governor power to order 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 t ailed States, at least so one of the host inform ed politicians in the West informs the St. I.oui s Era. Gen. Shields is now eligible—a qualifica tion lacking when formerly elected. 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. tn.—or slave States, supposing the Missouri compromise line to be adopted. The United f'tt cs will then consist of seventy-six sovereign ® ates. Should Oregon, California and New Mexicoflv off, and the Rocky Mountains be the division between the United States of the Atlan *ic and the United States of the Pacific, the Atlantic Union will contain fifty-seven sover- Cl gn States, the Pacific Union nineteen gigantic sovereign Stales. I lhese calculations aro based upon ;lie recent § r ®P°rt of the United States Commissioner of the I General Land Office—and take in all the United I -.titcs territory of everv kind not yet formed in fo States. Gamkorn]a Justice. —A correspondent of 1 Nevv-Oileans Picayune gives.a specimen of of the verdicts rendered by the juries in -aiifomin. He says :—“A person was charged 1 maltreating an aged man and destroying 6e ‘ ii Vr "P cr, y the jury found him guilty, and file *° rece > ve thirty-nine lashes on are back, to labor in the mines until he * *oiinbursc the man fur the destroyed pro [)Hr|' ’ ’’‘ft'Twa'ds quit the country.

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. Tj” Os all the members of the French Provis ional Government of 1848, Lamartine and Cie mieux alone are now in the Assembly. All the others are in disgrace or exile. 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.” HARRIED, In Charleston, on the 13th ult ,by the Rev.

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.

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.

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 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.

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. We use more Sarsaparilla and Yellow Dock in our establishment each day, thaa> all the other Sarsaparilla Manufacturers in the world. Principal Office, 12G Fultun-st. 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.

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. # KIBBEE & DICKINSON, Agents, Macttn
