Love’s Treason.
It was the old knight’* only child
Went forth upon the twilight wild :
The silent sky was purple gray
With one pale light of yellow day,
That hung upon the western track,
And marked the level distance black.
And there they meet; a minstrel lie,
The landless soldier’s daughter she.
The clouds hung heavy o'er the hill,
The broad, bare waste was dark and still,
Dut love in either heart was bright,
And so they stood beneath the night.
And o'er the breezy wild they strayed,
And through the woods he led the maid ;
And his the mighty gift of song
That lent its magic to h s tongue ;
And love, and love, was still the theme
That lulled their hearts in happy dream.
Beyond the margin of the wood,
In stately pride a castle stood ;
And as they gazed, all lustrous bright,
As joy bursts in on sorrow’s night,
The gracious moon poured down her sheen,
A silver shower o’er the scene.
And then he clasped the maiden's hand,
And looked upon the spreading land,
And said, No minstrel poor was he,
But noble earl,of high degree,
And hailed her ladie mistress there
Os castle proud and forest fair.
But with a wonder strange she heard,
In breathless hush, her lover’s word,
And in her face a wild dismay ;
And then she drew her hand away,
And calmer grew her brow and eye,
That told a settled purpose high.
She said ; “ Love is a thing of light,
Nor brooks the shade of falsehood's night;
And love must shrink, and fade, and faint,
Within the circle of its taint;
Forever and forever die,
Whose life is nourished by a lie !”
And then she drew her mantle round,
And turned her to the forest hound ;
Transfixed all in stark despair,
He stood and gazed upon her there,
Until beneath the wings of night
She passed forever front his sight.
Agricultural.
John Michel, Esq. and the CoknCcl
tu he. — Our enterprising follow-townsman,
John Mitchel, Esq., has succeeded, at his
farm, on Charleston Neck, in carrying the
culture of Indian Corn to very great pro
ductiveness, of which that valuable grain
is capable. The following are the tesults
of his system of culture:—ln 1847, 105
bushels, and, in 1848, 102 bushels, to the
acre—in 1849, SO bushels on one acre, 90
bushels on another, and 23 bushels on a
quarter of an acre, equal to 92 bushels to
the acre. The diminished production of
the last year was caused by the snow and
severe frost, in the middle of April las!,
followed by a protracted drought. The
first planting was almost entirely destroy
ed, and Mr. M. had to replant twice.
The following is a synopsis of Mr. M.’s |
system of culture : The rows are placed
5 feet apart; a deep furrow is ploughed
and the seed deposited on the hard ground
—the seeds about 6 inches apart and cov
ered with rich rotted manure, to a level
with the surface of the ground, overlaid
with a small quantity of earth. When the
plants are about 18 inches high, they are
thined by removing all the inferior stalks,
leaving all the healthy ones, no matter
how close to each other. When the corn
is about 3 feet high, it receives a good
ploughing, the earth being thrown on each
side of the plants by the plough, and the
hoe being used to complete the hilling,
which must not be too high—and this is
all the hilling bestowed. The centres of
tho rows should not be ploughed, lest
there should be a cutting of the lateral
roots, which should be allowed to run
across the 5 feet rows. When the corn is
about tasselling, the flat plough (that in
vented by Mr. Taos. Dail, No. 1 Qneen
etreet,) is used to cut the grass, a little be
low the surface of the ground—this plough
working like a charm and that being all
the secret.
The manure, used by Mr. M., is well
rotted, and consists of Horse, Cow, Hog,
Privy and Vegetable Manure—the great
est quantity of which may be applied,
without the least danger of firing the corn,
Mr. M., puts as many as 70 to SO cart loads
to an acre.— Charleston Courier.
Winter Ploughing.— As there are
many times during winter, when the
ground may be ploughed without i.ijury,
therefore, if you have any stiff clayey fields
that you intend for spring crops, you should
seize every opportunity through the win
ter, when the ground is not urt, to have
such fields well ploughed, taking care to
lap the furrows, so as to ensure the water
which may fall, to find drains beneath them
to carry it off. By attention to this recom
mendation, you will, through the action of
the frost, have the tenacity of such clay
soils broken down, and its texture greatly
improved, as there is nothing, except the
application of large quantities of coarse
manure, marlor lime, better calculated than
exposure to winter freezings and thawings,
when effectively done, at a time when the
land is not saturated with water. If plough
ed when wet, your object will not only be
defeated, but the soil will remain in bad
condition throughout the season.

Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla.
Old Dr. Townsend i» now about 70 years of Hire, and hat

of toe GENUINE ORIGINAL “ TO HNS END SAR
SAPARILLA.'* Heine poor, he was compelled to limit its
manufuel*re, by which means it has been kept out of mar
ket, and the sales circumscribed to those only who had
proved its worth, and known its value. It had reached
the u.irs of many, nevertheless, as those persons who had
been healed of sore diseases, and saved from death, pro
claimed its excellence and wonderful
HEALING POWER.
Knowing, many years ago. that he had, by* his skill,
•clence and experience, devised an article which would he
of incalculable advantage to mankind when the means
would be furnished to bring it into universal notice, when
its inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated.
This time has come, the means are supplied ; this
GRAND AND UNE QUAL LE D PREPARATION
is manufactured on the largest scale, and is called for
throughout the length and breadth of the land. especially
as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young s?. I* Townsend’s, it improves with age. and
never changes, hut for the letter: because it is prepared on
scientific principles by a scientific man. The highest know 1-
edge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art,
have all been brought into requisition in the manufacture
of the Old Dr’s Sarsaparilla. The Sarsaparilla root, it is
well know n to medical men, contains many medicinal pro
parties, and some projierties which are inert or useless, and
others, which if retained in preparing it for Use, produce
fermentation and acid , which is injurious to the system.
Some of the pro|ierties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that
they entirely evaporate and are lost in .he preparation, if
they are not preserved by a scientific process, known only
to those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
oolatue principles, which fly off in vapor, or as an exhala
tion. under heat, are the very essential medical properties
i»f the root, which give to it all its value.
Any person can boil or stew- the root till they get a dark
colored liquid, which is more from the coloring matter In
the root than from any thing else; they can then strain
this Insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten w ith sour molasses,
md then call it •• SARSAPARILLA EXTRACT or SY
RUP.” But such is not the article known as the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND’S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is so prepared, that all the inert properties of the
Sarsaparilla root are first removed, every thing capable of
becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted and rejected;
then every particle of medical virtue is secured in a pure
and concentrated form ; and thus it is rendered incapable of
losing any of its valuable and healing properties. Prepared
in tins way, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure of innumerable diseases.
lienee the reason why w’e hear commendations on every
side in its favor by men, women, and children. We find it

It possesses a marvellous efficacy in ail complaints arising
from Indigestion, from Acidity of the Stomach, from unequal
circulation, determination of blood to the head, pal pita tion
of the heart, cold feet and hands, cold chills and hot dashes
over the body. It has not its equal in Colds and Coughs ;
and promotes easy expectoration and gentle perspiration,
relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every other part.
But in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen and
acknowledged than in all kinds and stages of

It works wonders in cases of Fuor Albus or IVhites. Fill

Dyspepsia bnt acid ? Do we not all know that when food
sours in our stomachs, what mischiefs it produces 7 flatu

What is Scrofula hut an acid humor in the body? What
produces all the humors which bring on Eruptions of the
Skin. Scald Head, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, White Swell

It is nothing under heaven, hut an acid substance, which
sours, and thus spoils all the fluids of the body, more or

which insinuates itself between the joints and elsew here,
irriuiting and inflaming the delicate tissues upon which it

) EXTRAORDINARY CASE OK ASTHMA.
Blopntsvili.e, Jones County, Ga., )
August 7th, 1849. 5
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 as I have been, and being
desirous of adding my testimony in favor of your
system of practice and skill in curing disease, 1
have concluded to give it, desiring, if you think
proper, to have it published to the world.
STATEMENT:
In September, 1845, I was 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 much so, that from Ist September, 1847, 1
had an attack every night, with only five excep
tions, till February, 1849. During this long pe
riod of nearly eighteen months, 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 a Homoe
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 Ileft 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 bone, weighing only
110 lbs., my general health having suffered se
verely from the repeated attacks of my fell tor
mentor ; but it was not long before 1 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 instrumennality, I enjoy excellent
health— have had no attack of Asthma since the
firstweekin Alarch, and now weigh 145 lbs.,
my usual standard of weight in health.
Since then, I have exposed myself during all
this rainy season to all 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, but resort at once to the means
that have so happily, and in such a limited peri
od restored me to health.
With abounding feelings of gratitude, respect
and esteem, I remain yours sincerely,

Holdi'ii'ti Illustrated Ooliar
Magazine.
SINCE the death of the projector of this popu
lar M agazinc, the property has passed into
the hands of the subscriber, vvlio will continue
to publish it at the publication office, No. 109
Nassau street, New York.
The New Volume, to he commenced on the
first of January, 1850, will comprise many im
portant improvements, which, it is helievtd,
will render the Magazine one of the best Period
icals published in the country, as it certainly is
the cheapest. Among these improvements will
he new and beautiful type, fine calendered pa
per, a higher order of illustrations than those
heretofore given, and contributions from some of
the ablest writers in America. It is the aim of
the Proprietor to publish a popular Magazine,
adapted to the wants of all classes of reading
peoplein the Republic, which shall he both in
structive and amusing ; and tree alike from the
grossness which characterizes much of the cheap
literature of the day, and from the vapidity of
the so called “Ladies Magazines.” The illus
trations will consist ofOriginai Drawings engrav
ed on wood by the best Artists ; Portraits of re
markable Persons, and Views of remarkable
Places, illustrated by pen and pencil. A strict
revision will he exercised that no improper arti
cle, or word, shall ever he admitted, so that it
may be safely taken by persons oftlie utmost re
finement, and read at the fire-side for the amuse
ment or instruction of the family circle.
The Review department oftlie Magazine will
contain brief critical notices of all the new pub
lications of the day, and will form a complete
chronicle of current literature.
Front the business and literary connexions al
ready establishad, the best assistance that the
country can afford will be secured for completing
the plans ofthe publisher, and nothing will be
wanting that ample pecuniary resources and
watchful industry can obtain to make the Mag
azine the leading Literary Periodical of America.
Tite extremely low rate at which it is published
precludes the hope of profit, except from a circu
lation greater than that which any literary pe
riodical has ever yet attained; but, with the new
avenues daily opening for the circulation of
works of merit; the constantly increasing popu
lation ofthe country; the cheapness of the
Magazine, and the superiority of its literary and
artistic attractions to those of any other work
now issued ; the proprietor fearlessly engages
in an enterprise which will be sure to benefit the
public if it should not enrich himself.
The Magazine will be under the Editorial
charge and supervision of Charles F. Briggs,
who has been connected with it from the begin
ning. The “Pulpit Portraits," a series of Bio
graphical Sketches,accompanied by well engrav
ed Portraits cf eminent Divines of the American
Churches, which have formed a conspicuous fea
ture of “IIOLDEN,” will be continued in the
succeeding Volumes of the Magazine, and will
render it of peculiar value to religious people of
every denomination.
The Fifth Volume will commence on the first
of January next, but will be issued on the 15th
of December. Each number will consist of G 4
pages, and numerous Engravings. The Terms
are One Dollar a Year in advance —the Magazine
will be plainly and carefully directed and sent
by mail at the risk of the subscriber. As each
number will be stereotyped missing or lost num
bers can be at any time supplied when ordered,
but will be deducted from the time for which
payment has been received. Remittances may
be sent at the risk ofthe Proprietor, provided a
description ofthe bills are taken, and enclosed
in the presence of the Postmaster as evidence of
the fact.
Five copies will be furnished for $4 and 20
copies for sls. Numbers for the year 1848, ex
cepting the month of January, will be furnished
at 4 cents each, and bound Volumes in cloth gilt
edge, from July to December inclusive, at $1
each.
Letters must be addressed to “Holden’s Dol
lar Magazine, No. 109 Nassau Street, New
York, and post-paid in all cases.

THE GEO BE,
A Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
Newspaper.
r ('HE approach ofCongress calls out the An
1. nual Prospectus of Globe Establish
ment.
The time is full of interest. The coming in
of anew Administration —the consequent broach
ing of anew poiicy touching the internal con
cerns oftlie country —the new and most impor
tant issues arising front the late vast accession to
the public domain, and the great national objects
associated with it—the impending difficulty in
our relations with France,and the possible com
plication of our affairs with the troubles of Eu
rope,—conspire to create great expectation as to
the proceedings of the next Congress. The ap
proaching Session will probably continue till late
in the summer of 1850. The debates, from the
agitation of so many questions of vital interest to
the Republic, will draw forth all the talent of
the National Legislature. To bring its delibera
tions home to the people, on each succeeding
day, while measures are maturing, is, in effect,
to bring the whole nation into council. The
discussion, spreading front the Capitol to the re
motest parts oftlie Union, forms a public opin
ion which reacts upon Congress and controls its
decisions.
To become a useful instrument, however hum
ble, to assist the working of the admirable ma
chinery of our popular institutions, is the ambi
tion of the conductor of the Globe. Extraor
dinary preparations have therefore been made to
meet the increasing demands of our rapidly im
proving and growing country for Congressional
intelligence.
The Gi.obf. Press has already enlisted the
ablest Reporters yet known to Congress; its
materials and machinery are of the best sort ;
and the exclusive devotion of the individual who
for so many years has made it his study to embo
dy and publish the labors of Congress, gives rea
son to hope that an advance will ho made in the
accomplishment of this undertaking commensu
rate with its increased importance. But the ac
cumulation of expense consequent on the addi
tional number of Reporters required—the extra
charges incurred in printing at night the debates
oftlie preceding day—the vast addition made to
the mass published, by the protracted sessions
and the fuller reports given,—will render our
enterprise a failure, unless Congress shall so fur
patronize it as to become a purchaser of such
portion oftlie daily sheets issued,ns shall contri
bute to make the reports that fill them. Tho
undersigned lias ventured on the preparation he
has made fur the next Session, in the expectation
that Congress wiil subscribe for as many daily
sheets for each Member, at the subscription price
as will, in part, defray the expense of reporting,
and give them circulation ns Congressional docu
ments in their several districts. This will ena
ble the Publisher to bear the charge of reporting,
and it will give an impulse to the circulation of
the Congressional Print, which, although the
cheapest in the Union (the expense of prepara
tion considered) will yet yield sufficient profit to
make the system permanent.
John C. Rives having purchased the interest
ofF.P. Blair in Jackson Hall—the printing
office machinery and material—becomes the sole
proprietor thereof, and will give his exclusive
attention to the Congressional Department.
J. C. Pickett will conduct the Miscellaneous
Department of the Newspaper. F. P. Blair *
retires from both concerns, w ith prayers for their
permanent usefulness and prosperity.
The Globe will be published daily duringtlic
session of Congress, and Weekly the remainder
of the year, and will undergo distribution in the
form ofa Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and an Appendix.
The Weekly Globe will contain Agricultural
and miscellaneous articles ; and w ill occasion
ally give debates ofsucli importance as command
universal interest.
The price ofthe Weekly Globe is reduced to
One Dollar, with a view to obtain a more gene
ral circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto
paid $2 per annum, will be charged only $1 af
ter the expiration of the first year.
The Congressional Globe w ill embody, as it
has done for the last sixteen years, Congression
al pioecedings and debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages of the
President ofthe United States, and the reports
ofthe Heads ofthe Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
be published as fast as the proceedings of Con
gress will make a number Subscribers may ex
pect one number of each a week during the first
four W’eeks of a session, and tw o or three num
bers of each a week afterwards, until the end of
the session. Each volume will probably com
prise two thousand royal quarto pages, of small
type.
Complete Indexes to the Congressional Globe
and Appendix will be sent to subscribers soon
after Congress adjourns.
Nothing of a political party aspect will appear
in the Globe save that which will be found in
the Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming
to be an impaitiai vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party hue.
TERMS:
For one copy of the Daily Globe (daily during
the session of Congress, and Weekly during
the recess,) a year, : : $5 00
For the Daily Globe for less than a year,
at the rate of, per month, ; : 80

For ten copies of either, or part of both,

The prices for these papers are so low, that
advance payments are indispensable to carry
them on.
Postmasters who may obtain subscribers will
be allowed twenty per cent, on the subscription
prices for single papers, which they may retain
when they send on the names of subscribers and
the subscription money.
The price for the Congressional Globe and
Appendix, to Clubs who take -ten copies, is s°
low, that no deducrion can be afforded.
Subscriptions may be remitted by mail, at our
risk, in money at par in the section of the coun
try where subscribers reside.
