BRANDY AND SALT AS A MEDICINE-
lit compliance with the request of u friend, we
transfer to our coluunis the cuiitenia of a pamph
let on the efficacy of Brandy and suit as n luedi-
■due, he having assured us that lie has experien
ced in his own person, iu value us u remedy for
Aispepsy, nnd seen its good oll'ecta in con
sul union mid other maladies.—It will be observed
that motives of philanthropy alone have led to
the publication of the pamphlet; und we under
stand that the medicine has become very popular
in Great Britain.
BRANDY AND SALT.
Wo copy the fullowing.leiter on the efficacy of
“ Braudy and Salt," as a family reuiedv fur all
diseases, from a late number ol the Leeds InttlL-
atnetr, the editor of which observes, that •• Mr.
Lee writes enthusiastically, but it is because his
experience warrants hiut in assuming a confident
tone."
Address to the People of the British Empire in
general, but particularly to those Professional
gentlemen who liuve the care of Ilospitiils, the
Governors ofColouies, aud Religious Mission
aries.
Perhaps nn humble individual like the one who
writes this uddresa will be thought presumptuous
in laying it before the inhabitants of this great
empire, but as ho has no' interest of bis own to
serve,and he has spiue^yeurs ago made u disco
very which, tboug.* very simple, is very useful
for the health of man, and, therefore, the most
conducive to his happiness, among the discove
ries in medicine, tie believes it to bo the greatest,
perhaps it can truly be said to be the greatest,
that ever was inade.efuoy description, aud there
qro a great many by winch money limy be got,
yet they are nothing without iieultti, ns that gives
the true enjoyment of life. With a moderate use
sif tliiii cheap and almost universal remedy, sick-
Bess, sores, and lameness of various descriptions
lire cured, as I have proved in innumerable iu-
stances,notouly upon luyselfbut upon my friends.
Neighbors, servauu, aud workmen, of which, if I
were to give the detail, no periodical publication
could insert «L It not only cutes ordinary com-
laints, but it cures such ns have long been con-
lered incurable, without the use ofthe knife;
is of thogreatesl efficacy in the euro of cancers,
of which it has already cured several; nnd the best
, of it is, that the Cures are effected without pain;
of course, a great many persons, In consequence
of its nni voreulily, wifl'be slow to use it, hut lean
assure all such tfiut they huve no occasion to liuve
the least fear of any bad effects from it, as I can
truly say that I believe it nevnr did the least
harm, aud I do not write without experience. 1
can only account for its cutingcoiupluinta which
appear of an opposite character, by tba supposi
tion that all couiplaiuts, of whatever description,
have their commencement and are continued hy

ful antidote vyliich. I believe, is nt present known.
In the reduction of iiillammatinrinl fracUiredlimbs,
I believe this retqqdy would be ofgreut advan

1 and resume their work.’ 1

under treatment for sores

but.thov ottght to recollect that
’ pi have boon made by men

ditto Siena Leone, and other purls of Africa, Urn
cholo ruin the Lust Indies, with all the biles und
stings from anxious tiuimnls and reptiles, ha will
confer h«ufllits which will bo Inkling on the conn-
Iriesdn which they tuny lm propagated, fur it has
only to bo known and applied, and llmte !*oo
danger of its ever being forgotten; and l beg of
all such that they \vom»| )j'ive the goodness to
uaiise the division of the kitovtototlga of it to be
at Iren ns the communication of its discovery.
Difficulty la induce persons to <is« this remedy.—
Though 1 cun attest from actual kuowledgo of
facts which are stated in this paper, that it has
cured all those complaints of which I have given
the cuses.yct there are tuaqy persons who think it
impossible, und facts urn uolhing against such
persons’ opinion. In a neighboring town there
were three families the-children of which vvero
atllictcd with ringworms upon their heads, to
whom it was recommended; two of the ladies us
ed it, by washing lho crotvus of the heads of their
children, and they vvero soon cured; indeed, the
eAbets vvMiuldbo felt upon the first application;
the other lady would not use It, and the children
stiflered Jbr a long time idler. A lady ql my ac
quaintance was attacked with a complaint which
at the commencement would have been easily
cured, lint when the me of it was urged upon
h<u\8uid she would not bo curntl by this remedy,
and, ns she is now dead, she bus not beeu cured
with any other.
Tlwscto uhoin iLdots no good.—'There is a class
iu society to whom if does no good—they are
Uvosu who will nut use it; but -L have uo doubt
that they urn daily diminishing in number, for,
after any one has applied it to any complaint,
theheneflts arc so manifest that it would lie to
suppose them not endowed with common sense
not to apply it again hi case of need; it only re
quires very little reflection to know how to ap
ply it to any complaint, whether external or in
teruul, and there is not the least four of any bad
effects from it. An experience of several years
bus convinced mo that alias never yet done any
burin, but its efficacy is much more certain when
it is used clear.
Inflammation.—I saw it stated in a nc\ysnnper
that u pvol’ ««umal genvlevmm had published a
treuiLu to prove that complaints of all kind are
caused by inflammation; this being the case, it is
not surprising that this remedy lias cured almost
every complaint to which it has been properly
applied, or has greatly relieved them; but the
•unversnlity of its efficacy has been though by
some n great objection to it. A lady to whom i‘
was recommended said. “I havo no faith in it
lor you say that it cures so many complaints; if
von said it only cured one, I could use it for
that; hut os you say them are so many, I will
not use it lor any." This may ho wisdom; hot
ns I havo knowti itcitro the head, ear and tooth
ache, inflammation iu the eyes, ague,cholic,pains
in the tide, chilblains, burns and scalds, cancers
*tid several others, nnd some of them scores of
limes. ! should lie wanting in my duty if I did
not recommend it for them.
Cancers.—It has been applied in six cases of
cancers, five of which it hnscured, and that with
out pain, but relief; three of these were very
severe, and had been of long continuance,
and to tliu sixth it was applied but once, which
brought oil a great bleeding, which 1 believe
was necessary, os ho was much better after it;
bnt it uiaruied his friends: they called in his medi
cal advisers, (he beiug a wcMthy man, he had the
best the place could afford,) they were very
touch offended by its application, und said they
would not cotne again it he continued to use it;
he therefore promised ho would not use it again,
and I believe he kept his promise, ns lie died in
less than twelve months after, nnd, judging from
the others. I have no doubt but lie would have
beeu cured if lie bad not been prevented from
applying it. The other five nro all poor, and
cured mid living nt present, or were a short
time ago; the rich was not cured, nnd is dead; 1
wish this last had been otherwise, ns he is said to
have been a worthy man.
Sprains —Many persons suffer from sprains for
QUths who might be cured by fomenting the
part with this remedy, in a f«w days,soil sumo nf
them in n few hours. I have known several who
have suffered for weeks, though under very able
doctors, cured in a very short time with it.
Oven Sorts.—Soon after my return from Eng
land to La Forte Iinbanlt, iu France, in July Inst,
I was informed that one of my cottagers had not
been working for two months ftoui illness.
When I saw him, he said he had got bled the be
ginning of May, and that his arm had inflamed.
Ou application lo the doctor, he was told lie must
lumlticeliis arm; he did so, hut at the end of the
first month it had become a frightful sore. Up
on application to his doctor, he said he most con
tinue to poultice it; he did so, hut his arm enntith
tied to get worse, nnd in consequence of want of
sleep, he was reduced almost to a skeleton. I
told him to send to the castle for some of the rem
edy, and throw his poultices into the firp,tfho did
not wish to lose his arm. He applied the reme
dy that afternoon, and I saw him two days after;
he wustntully changed in appearance; lie said he
had slept well both nights; ami he was enabled to
resume bis work ten days after.
Another man, soon after, hud the misfortune to
have one of his hands teveiely bruised hy acart,
and part of one of his lingers taken oil'. Such
remedies were applied ns were in general use in
the country, and l did not see him for some time
allerhis accident. When I first raw him I thought
niortificntinu hai« begun. The first application
caused great pain, which continued ulmut half an
hour, but further applications were not so pain
ful; the hand got better each day, and ho is now
cored nf that which would have cost him his life.
The hone, to the joint of the finger, come away,
mid it is cured also.
One of toy gamekeepers had the misfortune to
have his face much burnt hy the blowing up of a
quantity of gunpowder; lie could only see with
ono eye, and that v ary little. The remedy was
applied in the first half hour after the accident,
am) thongli Agave pain in the commence men*,
lie had tin: courage to continue it; the result was,
that ufter five or six applications it gave him no
pain, und ho was cured in fifteen or twenty days,
nnd his sight, w hich had been weak for many
yeats, is now better than ever it was.
Consumption.—The experience of last year
has furnished n case which appears most surpris
ing of all, it is that of a young man, thu only
son of his mother, und she is a widow. Ho ap
peared in llie beginning of last July to he lying
upon his deathbed; his complaint a consump
tion; he was only able lo be removed to have
his bed made;thu appellation of the remedy ap
peared V» b« too Into; however, ilw&t made, und
the manner and results ure as follow:—First, the
crown of his head was well washed with the
remedy) after which, and immediately, he took
two table spoonfuls, diluted with hot water, and,
u piece of soft linen was steeped iu Hie remedy,
ami, when doubled into several thicknesses, was
laid upou his breast, iu order, if possible, to allay
the dreadful cough, which was very distressing,
and came on in paroxysms, tho phlegm hard nod
yellow. He was requested to tnke two table
spoonfuls erery morning before he broke his fast,
diluted with hot w ater, which he did. I inqui
red every day if there was any alteration, but for
six or eight day* the answer was no, und I gave
him up when he statud there was no alteration.
He said that he coughed always, and the phlegm
had become whiteond frothy, which continued
the same for some weeksrb'Jt, iu ubout six
days after the first change, he said that he had
gotsuch an appetite lie could out anything; he
began then to gam -strength and set up, and
went to visit his neighbors. Soon after, a great
pain began in his left side, with much inflamma
tion, but upon application of the linen steeped
ill tlio remedy, the pain wtut removed and iu a
week it hurst, when his cough ceased entirely,
and, though tlm discharge was great, he con
tinued to gain a tittle atreugtit—hi* appetite
good, nnd lie continued to take the remedy as
before. A clever medical man, who happened
to he in the village about this time, said he would
gat hotter, which was tlm general opinion in the
village, if ho could pass the winter, which he
did, und he was |.‘ *tng when I left Jat Forte
Imbuult; but I aui afraid that thu uhscess itl his
side will ho too much for him, tut it wns then
open, and tlm discharge was considerable before
this was formed. 1 considered him cured, und I
ceased w call upon him; but I have not the small
est do uii t if he hud begun lo use the remedy in
the early singe of his compluint that ho would
have been cured. Now, l put it lo the medical
gentlemen who nttend/bii «uch cases, and the
friends of such ns are iu consumptions, if it would
uot bo ivell to follow the same treatment/
Address to those OcnUetnen who hate the care of

From the foregoing cason which have all occur

lyWill gentlemen

- ..^vo no doubt if they condewumd to Uru it, a
great many will homed, nnd the hedeeeUtlib

weight niton tlm community, they will be able to
gut tlmir livings end support tlmir luitiilics, though
they are now dragging on a life of misery t nnd
those who nro unticted with sores which cannot
by cured, may ho so lur relieved as to bo nblo to
get their livings nlso in cotnpamtivo comfort,
which may lm exemplified hy thu oases of two
men in tlm village unnr my house in Franco, -who
uro alllicted with iucurnble sores upon tlmir iegs.
Before they used this remedy their lives wore
truly lives of misery, hut now they havo voty little
pain and they nro whin to work, and in ciise'efne
cessity, they raw walk two utile* t« tiw’w work.

Address to Governors of Colonies where inflamma
tory und infections disorders arevnrtilent.
As 1 hnva a great desire thut a knowledge of
this remedy and its eflects should |iMietmtu into
those regiuns where inflammatory complaints are
iruvalunt, I have made and forwarded fliis address
tt order that the hmictU* arising |frotu it may bn
known; nnd to thoso who are residing in or bor
dering upon Urn Turkish empire-or Egypt. I beg
of them to hnve it propagated,free of expense, iu
those countries, us I have not the least donbt that
it would euro the plague and most other inflam
matory complaints, if uppilicd in its early stages.
Not having seen the plague, lean give no certain
rules for its use, but it is always best to begin
with washing tlm crown of tlm head, and iftho
throat and month are sore, gargling the throat
and washing the month ns well it* filling
tlm ears one ufter the other, nnd letting it remain
for fifteen or twenty minutes in each ear. The
puiumt ought to drmk two table s|ioouvfull dibit-
edwith hot water,every two orthree hours, oreven
ollencr, as tlm case may require, und also the parts
discolored or inflamed should ho fomented with
it.
For those countries where inflammatory fevers
and cholera ure prevalent, tlm same method of
treatment will do. .Sore throats and inflammation

Brandy and Salt.—-At tlm request nfn friend
wn publish to-day, from lho Charleston Courier,
n long article, showing the virtues of this mix
ture. Twu nr throe instances have coma under
our own observation recently, whore the value
of this medicine hns proved beueficiitl. Our cor
respondent •• Publius," however* is disposed to
view it in n different light.
of tlm brain are often the accompaniments of
such disorders, and tlm administration of ihe re
medy should he prompt and incessant in all possi
ble ways, and ifproli^sioiiul gentlemen are not at
hand, no one ought to he afraid of administering
it, us they mny bo sure it will do tin harm.
Address to Missionaries.
Missionaries ought to get a kuowledgo of it. It
is so very prompt in its operations iu acute com
plaints, such as inflammation in the brain nnd
bowels, that it might lm used by them with the
most luppy results, in more ways than one.
Omissions in funner Publications.
I neglected, when 1 first published an account
of this remedy to explain that it ought to he used
perfectly clear; thut ufter tlm component purls
were put together they ought to he well shaken
for several minutes, und ufter left to clear; but
let them always remain in the same bottle. The
clear part only should be applied, as tlm particles
of suit cause pain aud irritation ; when clear it
causes no pain, except upon open sores, and thut
is only momentary.
Mithml of mnkinff the Pemedy.
Fill a bottle three quarters full with brandy,
after which add as much salt ns will fill the bottle
for corkiug; soak it together tun tuimues; let
thu salt settle to the bottom, and be particularly
careful lo use it when clear—the clearer Ihe bet
ter. Many persons have mndo u great mistake
ill shaking it up before it is used. The efficacy
KTAi a matter ofstorn duty, net with pleasuro or
satisfaction, weshnll publish to-morrow the report
of tlm condition of the Central Dnnk. U’hero ban
been u grentontcry raised in this Stnte nnd country
about monsters, but the SnteofGeorgiu has nntir-
ished within her own besom a Lcvintlinn which
has well nigh exhausted her resources,and dried up
some of tlm most nluindnut sources of her wealth
and prosperity. Tlm Central Bank is truly nnd
emphatically a liuugry Vamptro which has sucked
the life-blood from our social system nnd reduced
an abundant treusury, to a condition so lamenta
ble, that poverty itself is a blessing when com
pared with its weak, ineffectual efforts nt admin
istering the finances oftbo Slate. Like the real or
fabled Polypus, which inhabits tlm Northern
Ocennnndthe Straits of Messina, this real, pul-
ptible monster of modern legislation, has extend
ed its baneful influence to every quarter of the
Stute, and while holding not supposed benefits, it
lias devoured within its cnpacious maw, much of
the reul industry—of the real fruits oflabonr of
this State. And wiiut is ns surprising nnd as-
toundiug as any nf Urn strange developments to
which these modern times have given risa, is the
fact that this system ofloaning irredeemable Bank
Paper, (truly irredcRmahlp)hns been countenan
ced nnd advocated bytt party professing n holy
horror of even good bnnk paper, which has at
tempted to erect in every heart an altar of Pot u-
visit or Mexican gold ut which true democracy is
to kneel, thauking Heaven that it is not in favour
of “ a system devised hy the privileged orders
fifty year* since," (as Mr. Vak Buren has it in
his letter to the Kentucky Committee.)
Gov. McDonald in his late message hns com
mitted iu our judgment the unpardonable error
ofsounditig the praises of nn institution which
Ims, while squandering the patrimony of our
State, ministered to a most depraved appetite by
exciting hercitixeits to borrow money, when al
ready their debt was larger than they could pay.
But, let us not do injustice to our political oppo

“Encouragement to the Afflicted.-Our last nnm-
ber contained along account of a travel yet sim
ple medicine (a mixture of brandy and salt,)
strongly lecoimnended by its discoverer, as a
powerful remedy iu several dangerous maladies
which afllict tlm human race. As the article in
question wns not the putfor a quack nostrum, hut
written hy a gentleman with a view to benefit his
fellow creatures, we readily gn\ e it iinertion.and
ore now glad of huving been the menus of in
creasing its publicity, us we hnve since had an
opportunity of witnessing its efficacy, in a case
wherein tlm life of the pntienl scented to
imminent peril. A young muu who Ims resided
in this islatid, went to South Carolina three years
ago with thy intention of settling in that Stute.
where all his friends reside; but a southern cli
mate not agreeing with his constitution he re
turned to Douglas about a month since, appa
rently laboring under n confirmad consumption,
In the hope of benefitting by the change of nir.
Having read a description of the above nurned
medicine, he began to give it a trial, und after
persevering according to the prescription for
nearly three weeks, ull the consumptive symp
toms vanished, aud he became so greatly improv
ed both iu health and uupearauce, that he is now
actually preparing for ins return to America; but
with the design of fixing tu a urate salubrious
part of that rnpidly.flonrishing country.
Iu addition to the above, w« are credibly in
formed that u highly respectable man residing in
Atlml street, Douglas, bus been effectually cured
of a standing erysipelas by the use of the above
cfficaciniis medicine, lb healing virtues have
been further tested in the case of a mao in this
tow .1 (Douglas) afflicted with « violent spitting of
blood, who has been completely restored to health
hy its agency, end a femulvwho hud suffered se
verely for years will: an ulcerated sore leg, after
using it lor n very limited period, has derived
great benefit from its use.
Tlm principal ol a respectable firm in the corn
trade in Liverpool, who had for many yenrs suf
fered from nn obstinate asthma, on perusing the
above article in the Liverpool Stanaurd, was in
duced to try the preparation, lie mixed the bran
dy and salt in the way described above aud every
morning, immediately after rising from lushed,
he putt wo table spoonsful in a wine glass, udd-
inga little warm water, and drunk it off. He
soon began to experience great relief from it,
and, at the moment this is written,..(March 11,
1840,) he isalmostfree from the distressing com
plaint under which he had previously labored.
This gentleman speaks iu very high terms of the
virtues of Brandy and Salt, und wishes them to
be universally known.

tities of :hc preparation ami hot water; aud, when
applied externally us an nmbrocution for rheuma

AWFUL DISASTER-STEAMBOAT EX
PLOSION.
Without comment, we place before our read
ers the following letter from a friend, dated
St. Stephens, Nov. 15,1840.
Messrs. London If Barker:
Gentlemen—l hasten to inform you of the ex
plosion of the steamer Express about 10 miles a-
hove this place ut half past 3 o’clock. The steam
boat Old Fellow was a short distance ahead ofthe
Express,and immediately rendered assistance to
the suffering passengers and crew. Five or six
were instantly killed by the explosion, and we
hnve now on board one dead and u number who !
are seriously injured. I cannot describe the aw
ful scene, although l was landing at the stern of
the boat and-witnessed the sad disaster. Tlionc-
cident was owing to sdtue deficiency in the boil
ers.
Tho highest pmiso must ho given to Mr. G. B.
Griffith who nfltudcd every nssistance nnd com
fort to the unforltinate beings who survived the
wreck.-*You can obtain n full account from the
the getiihmnn who will hand yon this letter.
The Captain was snved without having receivod
any very serious injury.

fur ns we ere acquainted with the merits of this
subject, each and nil of the political parties ofthis
Stnte come in for a share ofthe distinguished no
toriety of having gravely consented while sitting
as law-givers, to throw into the sea the patrimo
ny ofthe State—of reducing their native Slate
from beingone ofthe first in the Union, in point
of credit and pecuniary resources, to that condi
tion in which many of the land speculators nnd
bland tuckers who have exhausted her treasury,
mightontbid her in any market whore good credit

ttreign State, bnt it is the duty of an independent
press to expose such partial nnd unworthy legis.
lotion. If its enormity cannot reach the ears of
the people through the People’s representatives,
it is proper that it should come to them through
the medium ofthe press.
Itis tve presume within the knowledge of many
of our readers that thousands of dollars have been
loaned by the Central Bnnk on merely fictitious
security, where the names of drawers and endor
sers were all forged. Wlmt portion of such
loans will the Stute ever see again? Another
class of such loans lias been made to individuals
more or less able to reduce or pay up their notes
when called upon to do so. Of these louns hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are in the hands of
those who hove no means of evermaking restitu
tion, and hundreds nf thousands more in the
hands of those who will never make restitution
even if they have the means. Another aud very
important class of loans is to members ofthe Le
gislature themselves, und it is too much to expect
that these gentlemen having once legislated
strongly in hivor of themselves on* year, should
have the extreme virtue and patriotism to legis
late against themselves the year following.
Another cluss of loans has been to land specu
lators. To men. who anxious to liny up lottery
lard for a mere song, hnve travelled over the sev
eral counties of thu Stnte in order to ascertain
the names of individuals who intended to apply
for tho loans ordered to be distributed to those
counties. In numerous instances these specula
tors from distant counties have bought up the
right of their fellow citizens fora sum of from §5
to §50 or perhaps - more—after which they have
im.de their appearance nt the Surveyor General’s
office at M illedgeville fortified with lira requisite
pipers and obtained for themselves the loans in
tended for others. We do not speak unadvisedly
on this subject, for we can, if necessary, within
our own personal knowledge give the names of
jursous who have travelled over two hundred
isiles for this object. Very lately those loans have
been made with more prudence than formerly,
hut even now individuals who wish to predicate
their claims to a lonn on the security of real estate
arc enabled to give tlmt property u fictitious val-
KP General Jackson’s twelve years administra
tion wns a strong otto it is-ooncedod on nil hands,
viz. strong, in tho setiso in which tho old federal
pnrty wished to make it atrong; but oxactly in
proporinn to its strength were the people weak.
Now, however, that tho people liuve waked up
from their dream, like a strong man roused from
his drunken slumbers, it hohoves them to gaze
upon the errors of tlmt period with n steady eye.
There must be no flinching from the faithful re
presentation of history—tho mirror must be hold
up, and if the pictures reflected are revolting to
to our republican feelings,the fuullis notours—
wo only hold lira mirror. It was the ninny bend
ed monster himself that played offthose envious
nmics which now look so degrading to the actors
n their s ober senses. It was tho old Lion of tho
Hermitage tlmt roared, while all tho inferior aui*
mats scampered hither nnd thither nt his pleasure.
Hois now, thank God enged, nnd oven the
lambs of the flock may venture forth without fear.
But such things must be gunrded against in fu-
tiue s General Jackson luckily was nn old man,
nnd had no children, and doubtless was patriotic
in his real feelings, but it nmy not alwnys be so.
Tito next specimen oftlra hero that wo light upon
nmy not he nn ignorant, childless, bnt patriotic
ohl tnnn. He tried our institutions until they
cracked with the tension, mid Ira tried mnny of
our peoplo too, who, though honest in intention,
bowed down to the dust before his imperious
will.
We do not wish to sny one harsh word of tlmt
mnn further than is absolutely necessary for our
present good. Now, however, that we have a
calm, benign, philosophic old gentleinun for
our President elect, it is a fitting time to correct
the errors of the past.
And, first on tho list, is tho power ofthe Exe
cutive to nppBint nnd remove. This whole sub
ject must undergo revision, and tho latter taken
away, except for emme, nnd that nsignoble. The
money power und all control of it, must be taken
from the President, and lodged where it of right
belongs—in Congress. The Secretary of the
Treasury must be also elected by that body. The
public lands must be put ootof the reach of all
tho candidates for tho Presidency. The natur
alization law must be revised, or ntlenstpntiu
force, andubqveall, the elective franchise must
he protected from the interference of office-hold-
Now tlmt those office-holders are about to
be Whigs, our opponents will doubtless join in
with us, nnd demund that their hands he lied us
to all such future interference. It is our hull
now that may gore their ox, and they will assur
edly feel a lively interest in the subject for at least
fouryenrs. Here then is one grand point upon
which 4»vo can all meet. Give us this reform
alone, nnd our institutions nre sttfo—without it,
nnd they nre not worth a pin's fee.
There are other kindred subjects, such ns, the
single term—the Public Printing nt Washington
—tho tenure and security of the Judiciary—the
District ofColumbm—the Territories—the Land
Office, nnd the Currency; which we shall recur
to, from time to time, until wo have done our
whole duty as conductors of a public press, re
gardless of the ins and outs.
We go for reform—thorough searching reform,
let who will or who mny be President. The peo
ple are our patrons, nnd from them we shall look
for. all the pap which we expect to full to our
■hare. Their interests nnd ours nro consequent
ly identical, and our press shall remain an inde
pendent one. If General IIarbison does his
best to recommend and carrv out these promised
reforms he shall hove our hearty and cordial snp_
port. If lie docs not, why .then wo will be ex.
actly where Mr. Van Buren leaves off—and
shall rub out and begin again, still crying reform
—reform—reform. The people, the whole peo
plo demand it and they intend to liuve it.

BRANDY AND SALT.
Dear Messrs. Editors:—An yon are known to
be humane men, I know you will grant me
smnll spaco in yottr columns, that I mny cull the
attention of the public lo a now remedy which
hns just mado its appearance uninng us. Sotuu
time ago tlraro appeared air article in ono of tho
Charleston papers, recommending small doses
ofbrandy and salt ns a certain cure for cou8iimp<
lion. Now on we hud uti old mare in the stable
thnt kept up nightly n most melancholy sound,
(the retuaius of lira lata epidemic among tho hor
ses,) I tilought it might be good for her, a I accor
dingly procured some and guve itto her night and
morning until she wns completely restored. She
scarcely breathes now at all, ceftninly not to ba
hoard o’uiglits. I had a dog also with the mange,
and seeing lira remedy so successful with tho old
mare, I gave him two doses and would you be'
lieve it, it cured him up nnd haired him over in
ten hours. Ono of onr neighbors seeing these
things nnd having a cow with the hollow horn,
determined to try it upon her. She had been
bored and all the other remedies tried in vain. It
wns given her, and not only cured her up in one
night, but it healed up the holes in herhotns,
which had been bored to cure her oftlra disease.
It was also given with success to a calf that was
tongue tied, and finally it was determined to try
its effects upon an old pump in our nelghbaihnod
that sticks wind,and it hns nlso been completely re
stored. A remedy that works such enres as these
should bo known. I beg of yon therefore,to in
sert this unvarnished account for the benefit of
the public. Yours, &c.

In the Senate, next duy, a motion v
made hy Mr. Gordon, to reconsider tira vote
yesterday respecting the Supremo Court Bi!.
—The yens nnd nnys>vere taken,nnd are.yeas 30,
uaya52;so the Senate, refused to reconsider.
It is clear that tire whole system oflouns by the
Central Bank is pernicious and supremely ab
surd. The fret that itis so partial in its opera
tion, should ulone suffice to consign it to perdi
tion. Nominally a distribution i* made to tho
counties—and who are they that touch lira mo
ney ? Not lira poor ond necessitous fiimier, not
the labouring man who cannot leove his humble
domain. It goes noitlrar toonenurto nil of them.
Frequently one scheming individual,at most three
or half a dozen from each county draw these mon
ies, ond in most instances they might as well he
thrown into the Atlantic. Wlint therefore is the
result of ell this ? It is, thnt for tho sake ofn few
speculating individuals, whether members oftlra
Legislature or otherwise, the honest, ludusiri-
ous inhabitants of the Stale are deprived, nf
fund which was but a few years since so large
as lo pay nil the expenses of the State Govern
ment, which would have enabled them to educate
their children at the public expense, to found
profossorsliips for their schools aud colleges, to
improve fheirhigh ways nnd make new ones, lo
remodel their system of prison discipline, and
lo carry out a far more extensive system of inter-
Charles O'Malley, the Irish Drugoon—by Harry
Lorrequcr.
This work is published in numbers after lira
Pickwick fusliion, nnd has arrived thus far lo tlm
13th number.
It is far superior to Harry Lorrcqiier, by the
same uuliinr, inasmuch ns the writer dashes off
in a style much freer from restraint, and- his pic
tures aro consoqusntly sketched wills a bolder
hand. Exquisite portraits they aro many of them.
Old Considin, the veteran hnlf-pny officer a ml se
cond in all affairs nf honor by prescription ,w ilh iiis
standing collar & grim senr’d visage, is placed be
fore tlra reuder in most itriking outlines, in less
than half a pngc. The scene wlioro lie carries off
Charles, (tho hero) a youth of nineteen, before
sunriso to fight Bodkin, one of his own clan, and
nfterwnrds escapes iu safety through a terrific
storm, having shot his cousin (or his uncle,) is
most graphically drawn.
Lucy Dnshwood is a lino character and most
always appears on horseback, tho most captiva
ting ultituda in which a heroine can appear. Her
first npproacli to O’Malley at tho castle, after ha
ving softened his whole being hy an exquisite
song, accompanied by lira harp, and where she
pluces her hand upon his head aud utters the sim
ple exclamation “ poor hoy," &c.is ono nf those
master touches, which uot only exhibits tho pow
er of the author and his intimate acquaintance
with tlra workings of the human heart, hut finds
tlra way at once to nnd a ready response from all
those capable of appreciating more than tiramero
•lory.
Tlra election for a member of tlra Irish Parlia
ment to represent Ga|way,and tho break neck
riding and punch drinking, nnd tho fox clinse.and
Gen. Dashwood’s party, nnd the row nt College,
are all full of tlra broadest touches of niimonr.
We shnll recur to these numbers again as they
issun from the press. Thus far the hero is lm 1
just entering upob his military life. Tlra num
bers mny be had from the firslot Col. Williams 1
bookstore. They are accompanied (each num
ber) with a grotesqua penejfsketch hi the broadest
vein nf Phiz’s humour. These alone aro worth
tlm uiditny demanded for tlra whole.
Murder or Professor Davis.—The Richmond
Star furnishes the following particulars of the foul
tnnrder which has been perpetrated on Professor
Davis oftlra University nf Virginia.
An nffuir of the most melancholy character has
just occurred nt Charlottsville, the facts of which
we have been favored with hy a friend who receiv
ed them hy letter this morning.—Some two oi
three young men were making n noise iu front
of Professor Duvis’ house, about 9 o’clock on
Thursday night, which caused the Professorto
come out nnd request them to desist. He at
tempted to draw a musk from the face of one
them,and wns immediately shot with a pistol, the
ball entering near the navel nnd passing down
ward about, a foot, lodged iu tlra thigh, qC which
wound lie died on Saturday morning, about ~
o'clock.
A Mr. Sims, from the South, wnsnrrcsted nnd
tinderexntnitiution all day Saturday, ntid ;he farth
er examination was postponed to to-dny.—Anoth
er young man, named Kincaid, absconded nt first,
hut lias since returned und been placed underar-
rest. He is supposed to know the author of the
deed. The ball nna been extracted and found

NEW-ORLEANS, Nov. 17.
Fire and loss of life.—A firo broke out about 5
o'clock yesterday morning in the storo of Mr.
Bernard Donlin, Common-street, between Mag
azine and Tchoiipntoiihis, which destroyed the
entire contents of the building, consisting of n
stock of groceries. The origin nf tho fire is yet
unknown. It commenced in tlra ground floor.
Wo deeply regret to ndd thnt the calamity wns
accompanied hy the loss of hie. Three individ
uals, two of them laboring men, slept iu the up-
J ier story of the store. The fire breaking out
rom below, precluded their oscape, nnd tho un
timely hour ut which it occurred prevented tlra
immediate adoption of mennsto secure theirsufe-
tv. Two oftlra unfortunate persons hung on
from the window sill ofthe 3d story until assailed
by tho flames nnd compelled to drop. The fall
from so great a height fractured the snino of ono,
producing death in a few hours. The other is
badly wounded, hut is expected to survive. The
third continued in tlra building until a ladder wns
brought, by which liu escaped without further in
jury than was derived from a few burns.
The stock, we understand, was insured to the
full amount.
‘Tho alarm of fire Yesterday morning nt 10 o'

which tlra flames had again burst forth. They
were subdued inn fow minutes.—Bee.
