The following commendation is from an agent residing at
Trenton, Tenn.:
Trenton 7 , Gibson Cos. Tenn. Nov. 7, ‘49.
Messrs. Scovu. & Mead —Gentlemen : Tii** Hebrew Plaster
is becoming popular in this section. There is a lady in this
county xvho says she would not be w ithont (lie Plaster for five
hundred dollars a year. She was afflicted for some time with
an enlargement of the spleen, which gave her great pain. The
swelling and pain had extended up nearly to the armpit, and
occasionally she could hardly breathe. 81 le was confined for
a considerable time, during which she was attended by some of j
our host physicians, but they gave no relief. She procured a j
box of the Hebrew Plaster, and it relieved her almost immediate- j
ly, and now she keeps a supply of it on hand constantly.— ■
These facts you are at liberty to uso as you think proper—they
are substantially true. Respectfully, yours, &c.,
JESSE J. WELLS.
Beware of Counterfeits and Base Imitations!
Caution. —The subscribers are the only general agents in the !
Southern States for the sale of this truly valuable Plaster ; and j
in order to prevent purchasers being imposed upon by a counter- ‘
feit article, sold in this city and elsewhere, for the genuine, they
invite particular attention to the following marks of the genu
ine :
1. The genuine is put up in smooth, engine-turned bottomed
boxes, soldered in.
2. The genuine has the engraved head of Jew David on the
directions around the box, with accompanying record of court i
to E. Taylor, Rochester.
AI.SO TAKE NOTICE
That the genuine has the signature of E. TAYLOR on the steel
plate engraved label, on the top of each box —to imitate which, 1
will be prosecuted as forgery.
The Counterfeit is coarsely put up, in imitation of the old
label, and is sold by several dealers in medicine in this citv for
the genuine article. BEWARE OF IT —IT 18 WORTHLESS.

Is a man a bit the better,
For his riches, golden gains ?
For his acres and his palace?
If his inmost heart is callous,
Is a man a bit the better ?
And if the man’s no bit the better
For bis coffers and his mines,
For his “ purple and fine linen,”
For his vineyard and his vines,
Why do thousands bow the knee,
And cringe in mean servility.
If the man’s no bit the belter?
Is a man a bit the worse
For his* lowly dress of ragi?
Though he owns no lordly rental.
If his heart is kind and gentle,
Is man a bit the worse t
And if the man’s no bit the worse
For a poor and lowly stand,
For an ever empty pocket
And a brawny working hand—
Why do thousands pa3s him by
With a cold and scornful eye,
If the man’s no bit the worse ?
Old Sultan.
FROM THE GERMAN.
A countryman once had a faithful dog; called
Sultan, which had grown old in his service, and
having, at last, lost all his teeth, was no longer
able to seize either wolf or robber.
“I’ll shoot that dog to-morrow,” said the mas
ter to his wife, one day, as he stood at the cot
tage door; he's of no use to us now.
But the wife felt compassion for the faithful
animal, and answered, “lie has served us well
for many years —I think we ow r e him his daily
bread for the short time he has to live.”
“Thou’rt not over w ise, wife!” replied the man,
“he hasn't a tooth in his head—he can’t defend
the house at night, and if he has served us well,
he has been well fed for it.”
The poor dog lay basking in the sun close by,
and heard all this with a sorrowful heart, lie
had, for some time, been intimate with a w r olf
that lived in the neighboring wood, and when
evening came, he hastened to tell his friend of
his approaching fate.
“Listen to me, godfather,” said the wolf, when
he had heard Old Sultan’s story : “Take heart;
1 can help you in this hour of need. My plan
is this—when vour master and his w ife go with
their babe into the hay field to-morrow morning,
do you follow. The woman always lays the
child in the shade, behind the hedge, while she
is at work; you must lie down by it, as if to
keep watch. Then, 1 will rush out of the wood,
snatch up the little one, and run away, while
you pursue me. Then I w ill let the child drop,
and you must carry it back to its parents, who
will believe that you have saved it, and. there
fore, be so thankful to you, that, instead of kil
ling you, they will love and honor you, and
never let you want for anything its long as you
live.’’
Ihe counsel pleased the dog, and it was
planned, so it was performed. The countryman
screamed w hen he saw the wolf running away
with his child, but w hen Old Sultan brought it
back unhurt, he joyfully stroked the faithful ani
mal, and cried, ‘‘Not one of thy hairs shall be
hurt,good fellow ! as long as thou livest thou
shalt have food and shelter.” And then, turn
ing to his wife, he said, “Go quickly home, and
make some broth for Old Sultan, he has no teeth
for meat, and put my pillow in his kennel, he
shall have it for his bed !” From that time for
ward, Old Sultan was as happy as he could be.
Not long after, the wolf came to congratulate
the dog that all had succeeded so well. “But,
godfather,” added he, “you’li wink a bit now, I
hope, when I want a fat sheep.”
“Don’t reckon on that,’’ replied the dog, “ I
must be faithful to my master.”
The wolf, however, did not believe that he was
in earnest, and so came slinking to the sheepfold
that very night. But Old Sultan soon roused
his master, who gave chase to the thief, and
combed his hair very uncomfortably with the
flail.
“Only wait,you good for nothing dog!” cried
he, as he scampered off—“you shall suffer for
this.’’
The next morning the wolf sent the boar to
summon the dog to the wood to settle their mis
understanding. Old isultan accordingly sought
someone to accompany him as his second, but
could only get a cat, who had but three legs, on
which she limped so miserably, that her tail
stood straight up with the pain. As they came
near the appointed place, the wolf and his se
cond, who were already there, thought they
were bringing a sword, for such the upright tail
appeared to them; and w hen the poor three
legged animal limped, they fancied she was
picking up stones to fling at them. They were
both so frightened that the boar hid himself
among some bushes, and the wolf ran up a tree;
and when the dog and cat reached the spot,
they were surprised to And no one there. Pre
sently, however, the cat saw one of the boar's
ears, which were sticking out of the bushes,
move, and mistaking it for a mouse,she sprang
upon it,and bitit through in a moment. The
boar ran off as fast as he could, screaming,
“Look up in the tree, look up in the tree, the
guilty one is hidden there !’
The wolf then came down so ashamed that
he had proved himself such a coward, that he
was glad to make peace w ith the dog.
I Won't.—How full of ingratitude and bitter
ness is this expression, “I won’t,”coming from
the child who refuses to obey a kind parent’s
command.
“1 won’t!” said a child to his kind parent
when he had been requested to do a little favor.
That child is now despised by his associates
and shunned by the virtuous and the good.
“1 won’t!” was the exclamation ofa scholar,
whose teacher had labored faithfully with him
when he was asked to be punctual at school,
and to commit his lessons more perfectly.
That scholar is now employed as one ot the
lowest servants in an extensive establishment.
“I won't!” said a youth to his father, when
requested to learn some honest trade. That
youth has now scarcely a coat to cover his back.

Cotton from India.—A vessel which has arrived
at London from Bombay has brought 5250 bales of
cotton as part of her cargo, of East India produce.
Specie going North. —The steamer Marion, on
her last trip from Charleston to New York, took out
1 SBO,OOO in specie.
Insane and Idiot Negroes.— The late cen
sus confirms that preceding, by showing that
idiocy and lunacy are more frequent among the
blacks than the w hites, and among the free
blacks than the slaves. We remember the*
great uproar which John Quincy Adams made,
when Mr. Calhoun, as Secretary of State in
Tyler’s Cabinet, adverted to the fact with com
ments. The fact was denied. The census was
affirmed to be false. Renewed inquiries w r ere
made. The fact finally ceased to be doubtful;
and now, the last census finaily establishes the
remarkable truth as originally asserted. The
idiot and insane negroes bear the proportions
of one to forty-three ot the whole number in
Massachusetts. In South Carolina, they are as
one in two thousand four hundred and forty!
Now the question is what occasions this won
drous difference \ In the North, ingenious ef
forts are making to show that it. is not caused
by the beaign influence of Slavery 5 which, as
it subjects the w ild passions of the negro, and
keeps him in proper subjection, (which is abso
lutely necessary not less to bis happiness than
his safety,) is undoubtedly the true secret of his
superior sanity in South Carolina. One set of
philosophers assert that it is due to climate,
that of Massachusetts being quite too cool for
Sambo, and heat being more congenial to bis
nature. Another refines upon the matter, by
saving that it is the superior intellectual devel
opment of the negro at the North, which finally
deprives him of all intellect. Credat Judceus!
They have discovered that “a little learning is
a dangerous thing!’’ They will find that a
little freedom is still more dangerous to those
who, by nature, can never make use of it. Let
the North try the experiment fairly, give their
negroes all a collegiate education, and give
them perfect freedom, the freedom ofthe cities,
and full possession of the public offices. When
they have tried the experiment fully with their
own negroes, it will be then time to meddle with
ours.— Charleston News.
Reception of Kossuth.— The arrangements
fur the reception of the Magyar are progressing
under the direction of the Committee of the
Common Council, lie will arrive here proba
bly about the 2d or 3d December, in the steam
er Humboldt, and the Pilot who first boards
her will convey a letter to Kossuth requesting
him to remain for a day with Dr. Duane at the
Quarantine. The Oregon steamer has been
chartered by the committee, and the official
delegation will proceed to Staten Island in her,
and escort him to the city. Before landing at
Castle Garden, the boat will proceed up the
East and North rivers, receiving salutes from
various points in the livers. Salutes will also
be fired at Staten Island and the Government
stations.
The Mayor and Corporation will receive Kos
suth at Castle Garden, and after the presenta
tion of an address, he will review the troops on
the Battery, t'.nd then entering a barouche,
which will be surrounded by a guard of honor,
consisting entirely of Hungarian refugees in
uniform, a procession will be formed, and move
up Broadway to Union Park, and return
through the Bowery and Chatham street, to the
City Hall, where he will receive the honors of
a marching salute, and be thence conducted to
the Irving House.
On the day succeeding his arrival, the grand
military and civic banquet will be given by the
citv authorities, at the Irving House.— N. V.

Mormon Difficulties.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Courier & Enquirer says :
Dr. Bernhiescl, delegate from Utah, arrived here
on Thursday kist. lie evinces mueh teeling at the re
ports here prevalent to the disadvantage of Gov.
Young and the Mormon community, lie denies that
there is truth in any of them. The letter published in
the Washington Union, and extensively circulated
through other prints, which attributes to Gov. Young
the most grow and vulgar denunciation of this Gov
ernment, is said to have been written by a judicial of
ficer of Utah. Dr. Bernhiescl says Gov. Young never
used on any occasion such language as that Gen. Tay
lor was dead and gone to ——. The speech in which
he is charged with having perpetrated this scandalous
indecency, was made on the 24th J uly, at some Mor
mon celebration. The Dr. says he was present and
heard all that passed, and not only was nothing
said disrespectful to the memory of Gen. lay lor or
the Government of the United 8t ties, but Gov. Young
habitually and always expressed himself perfectly sat
isfied with the course of Gen. T’s. administration to
ward the Mormons, and declared that he was deeply
sensible of President Fillmore’s kindness towards him
self and his people. The delegate states also, that when
he left the territory everything was perfectly quiet.—
The blanks for taking the census of Utah had not ar
rived, but theMirslial and his assistants had made the
enumeration with the aid of manuscript forms, a slow 7
and difficult mode, but the work is said to have been
performed with fidelity and accuracy.
The popuDtion of the territory, according to Dr. 8..
is about 15,000. He would have brought the returns,
but the Marshal teas engaged in transfering them to
the printed forms, these having arrived alter what may
Uc called the field work was completed.
To Bake Applfa.— Sweet apples properly
baked and eaten with milk are excellent. The
best method of baking tart apples, is to take
fairest and largest Lu size, wipe them clean ii
thin skinned, and pare them if the skin is fbtek
and tough; cut out the largest portion of the
core from one end, and place the fruit on well
glazed earthen dishes or pans with the pnd
which has been cored upwards, ami fill the
cavity with refined powdered sugar. ‘Then
place them in the oven or other apparatus for
baking until sufficiently cooked. Take ihem
out, aud when cold they are perfectly del cious.
Shifts of Politicians. — A politician, who
has no resources of his own, always connects
himself with some great temporary excitement
just as a hungry shark rushes along in the
wake of a ship, to pick up the damaged pro
visions, amputated limbs, and even old shoes,
that may be thrown overboard.
Religion of Paying Debts.— if f* jllow
ing item from a religious newspaper is a correct Jcfini
lion of religion , we fear that many of our subscribers
have become awfully irreligious, of kite, and need awak
ening to a sense of their duty :
‘ Men may sophisticate as they please. They
can never make it right, and all the bankrupt
laws in the universe cannot m.iKe ii right tor
them not to pay their debts. There is a sin in
this neglect as clear and as deserving church dis
cipline's in stealing or false swearing, lie
who violates his promise to pay, or withholds
the payment of a debt wheu it is in his power to
meet the engagement, ought to be made to feel
that in the sight of all honest men he is a swin
dler. Religion may be a very comfortable cloak
under which to hide; but if religion does not
make a man ‘deal justly,’ it is not worth hav
ing.’’

LETTER FROM AlGl’STl.
Augusta, Nov. 20, 1851.
The fire at Augusta—Reflections incident
thereto.
Dear Doctor: —You have doubtless received
full particulars of the recent fire at this place,
ere this, and it is simply with a view to tne en
lightenment of the uninitiated, that 1 now ob
trude the subject upon your notice. I, amor g
others, have always been prompt to denounce ‘
idle spectators at a fire. I have ever looked
upon a man who could stand with folded arms, j
and gazing upon the ruin of his fellows, as ut- !
teriy void of heart and destitute of every gen
erous impulse. 1 have known some wonderful
admirers of the ‘sublime,’ perfectly enraptured
with the‘majesty’ of fire and smoke belching i
forth from their neighbors’ houses .and sweep- *1
ing destruction in their path. ‘How sublime ” \
exclaim these sentimentalists. There goes
the costly edifice—thousands of dollars are
fused to dross by a a single breath‘of the de
vouring demon. There it totters—the fruits of
years of ceaseless toil and care—the accumula
tions of a life nearly spent—the hope of old 1
and young, is extinguished by that crash,—
‘How sublime!’ The expensive machinery,
whose daily clank was music to the heart of the
poor man, toiling for a family’s support —see I
how it glows with heat and melts to ruin!
Don't stand gazing at it, my man, go your
way, your occupation is gone, your little ones
may suffer; but is it not ‘sublime !’ ‘Ah ! look
there ! see where the flame leaps up toward
heaven, streaking with lines of gold the heav*
ing mass of smoke. ‘How sublime !’ A hu
man soul has leaped from its earthly tenement,
and a human body lies buried beneath the ru-*
ins! Shame upon such heartless gazers, such
mawkish sentimentalists.
I said that I was one of those who believed
it to be the duty of every one to lend a help- !
ing hand during the awful calamity of a tire.
But let no one expect other commendation,
than that which must follow from the self-con
viction of having done as he would be done by. ;
For if ‘republics are ungrateful,’ individuals
are equally so, and after all has been done that
can be done, it is much more flattering to re- i
ceive the condolence of kid-glove apostroplns
ers of the sublimity of your ruin, than to extend
a look, even, of kindness to those whose symp
athies were only manifest in their exertions to
avert the evil which afforded your friend sq j
sublime a gratification.
Heretofore, I have labored under a misappre
hension with reference to lookers-on at a con- |
flagration. I have lately discovered that they j
are held in no mean appreciation. Haring
nothing to divert their attention from the majes
ty of the scene, and being neat and tidy, with
al—not bedaubed with soot and du9t, they cer- I
tainly are the proper persons to do the sym- 1
pathetic. ‘My dear sir, I am really sorry to 1
learn that you were a severe sufferer by the \
subl—destructive fire last evening. Any thing |
1 can do for you, (how r sublime) of course— ,
with pleasure,’ &c. &c. How genteel L—How t
gratifying to one’s feelings—and bow fragrai 11 > j
one’s nose I It is flattering, decidedly. Besides j
any thing lie ‘can do’ —who knows what that j
may be? Per Imps much—perhaps nothing, j
At any rate, be bus done nothing yet; where
as the other party, the working men at a fire. I
have done all you expect of them. No one
can doubt where the preponderance of favor
must lie.
For my own part, I am determined, whenever,
in future, I discover one of this interesting
class of personages at a fire, searching out the
sublime points with his opera glass, he shall j
h ive a fair showing. It is positively cruel to
throw cold tcater uj*on his bright imaginings! j
Let the walls of every house in the city crash, I
but do not check the flames that are ‘taping up j
to heaven,’ it is so ‘sublime !’
You will understand, dear Doctor, that I j
have reference to no one in particular; but if j
you should meet with specimens of the char- I
acter I have depicted, let me beseech you —* I
though your own house should be on fire-—do f
not deprive them of the high gratification i
which the sublimity of its destruction would I
afford! SALAMANDER, Jr.
Letter from Arkansas.
Camden, Ark. Oct. 31, 1851. 1
Dear Doctor: —After a prolonged silence, J
I once more address you from the wilds of 1
Arkansas. You, no doubt, would long ere J
this, have had something in the shape of :> I
communication from me, had it not been from 1
the fact that I was satisfied of your having your 1
hands full in the exciting election scenes I
which have just, passed. I deemed any oommu- I
ideation from me at such a time, a draw back I
upon the arduous duties, which you had 1
assumed. I therefore have waited for the smoke f
of political warfare to clear away, before trou- I
Tiling you with airy of the items on matters |
going on iu this portico of Uncle Sam’s domia- 1
ion.
I may be claiming: too- much for Uncle Sam |
or perhaps attempting to force upon him a state a
he docs not want, after the recent elections 1
in this State. But lean assure yous it will ntti* E
be nor is it the fault of Arkansas if it don t re- I
main in this glorious Union. For although she 1
has sent a disunionist from this State, the poic- a
er is so small that it will never jostle her aiv I
inch. Nothing sir but faction—a determina-- fl
lion to sustain party above principle was the’ I
cause of the success (of what are termed the |
diaunionists in this state.) They cannot be called J
disunionists for They whip (as the saying is) the I
devil around the stump.’ denying the fact, and 1
by such means together with faction, ruled the I
day. But I assure you that Arkansas in my ||
opinion, is as good a Union State as Uncle Sam 1
has in bis dominions, the electing of a disun- i
ionist to the contrary notwithstanding. She is |
near enough out of the Union at present with- 1
out wishing to bo any further and don’t you 9
doubt her. For I assure she’ll stick to it and 1
‘that with the tenacity of a Burgundy-pitch I
plaster.’ With three cheers for glorious old jj
Georgia, and three more (each) for old Sam F. I
and James J. of Muscogee, I will drop politics,
and talk to you about local matters.
Well sir, Camden holds ber own very well, t*
though improvement is slow, owing to short 1
crops. The farmers generally are doing much j
better than wss anticipated some months hack. ■
