A telegraph despatch, transmitted front New ,

inst., says—“ The Etfd'o'ia is betoW, bringing
dates from Vera Cruz to the 12th inst. She was
hailed by a tow-boat, and reports that the Trea
ty has bekn Rejected. We shall await
with much interest and anxiety the more certain
accounts that will follow in a day or two. There
has, it is true, been but little prospect that the
Treaty would be ratified, and yet, such is our
•desire for a settlement of the difficulties, that we
have hoped even against hope* It is fruitless
now to speculate on the course to be pursued, or j
the consequences that must follow, “The wide,
unbounded prospect lies before us, but shadows,
clouds and darkness rest upon it.”
We are indebted to a ffieud for a verbal state

given from memory •cf the facts, as contained in
the Picayune extra, fc'fifee 18th, and consequent
ly may differ in some degree from the facts in
The ship. They ave believed, however, in the
main, to be correct:
Pena y Pena, with some dozen others, is said
to have'been proscribed and driven front Quere
t&ro, American soldiers were deserting in
great numbers in consequence of the bounty of
fered by the Mexicans, SIOO being the liberal
price given. Schemes have been laid to entrap
the rascals, persons having been induced to
make sham desertions, that they might serve as
spies against the Mexicans, who had taken such
[pains to decimate our numbers, and thin our
tranks.
Bustimcnte is said to be at the head 0P8,900
men, ho at the present time being Commander
tr-Chief. Some movements had been made to
recall Santa Anna, by sending a special messen
ger tor him. A few rich Mexicans have united
together and pledged themselves to raise $3,000,-
000, to be paid in monthly instalments, or often
er if necessary, to vigorously carry on the war.
It is said that the government can raise 80,000
stand of arms, a large portion having been ga
thered together in the last few weeks.

Correspondence of the Columbus Enquirer .
Cuernavaca, April 6, 1848.
On Sunday at about 3 o’clock, A. M„ a sen
titiol in this city shot down a teamster, who at
tempted to escape from him after he had been j
subjected to his guard. He died instantly. At
tthe request of the sentinel, thro’ the command
ing officer of his company, Capt. Chase, of the
15th Inthntry, Col. Bonham ordered a Court of
Inquiry to consist of Lt. Col. Calhoun, Mounted
Bat. Ga. Vols. ; Capt. Pery, 15th Infantry; Lt.
Taplin, 12th Infantry ; Lt. Almstead, Special
Judge Advocate.
The opinion of the Court, after a thorough
examination of witnesses, sustained the sentinel,
and commended him for his efficiency as a sol
dier.
To guard us against ourselves is a more vex
atious job than watching for an enemy. The
armistice has opened the door to an indolence
exceedingly demoralizing, and it is to be hoped
a peace that will send us home, or a war that
will order us onward will be proclaimed at an i
early day. j
A few days ago shrieks and lamentations j
•came up from a vally iu the environs of Hintzi
lac. An American soldier, afflicted wi‘h the
curiosity of the age, resolved to ascertain from
whence it came and its cause. On approaching
the place, two youths, the eldest not more than
sixteen, were discovered heating their mother
in a most inhuman manner. The mother was
immediately released, and the elder son receiv
■ed a castigation that it is supposed would have
afforded comfort and happiness to a Turk. OI
■course the whole matter is involved in (a very
thin) mystery. Nobody done it, but it would be
very strange if suspicion did not rest upon a de
tachment of the Mt’d. Bat. Ga. Vols., as no oth
er American troops were at or near Hintzilac.
The foregoing episode iu a soldier’s life is not
regarded as the slightest evidence of the demor
alization of our troops. On the contrary, it
shows we have not forgotten the earliest lesson
of our life, to love, respect and venerate our
mothers.
Col. Bonham and other officers left on yester
day afternoon for the city of Mexico, to which
place they were called by the Court of Inquiry
tin the cases of Generals Scott and Pillow. The
•command, during the temporary absence of Col.
Bonham, devolves on Lt. Col. Seymour of the
12th Infantry.
The health of the three companies Jft’d. Bat.
Ga. Vols. now at this place is gradually im
proving, while the number of si,ck of the Infant”
*y is on the increase.
The weather and climate too is every way
desirable, and we arc pleasantly located, but we
are becoming dissatisfied ; and how could it be
otherwise. si*o wl<. Um here two months?
Entirely too long for volunteer soldiers to re
main at one place. They require and desire an
•active aud energetic life energies are
•crippled and they become dissatisfied with case
and indolence.
Joseph W. Steger, of company A, an excel
lent and worthy soldier died on the 2d inst.—
John Bailey, of company B, on the sth inst.,
<5. B Clayton, of company C, on the Ist inst.,
T. A. Cotheran, of company F, on the 4th inst.
These were soldiers good and true, and their
(deaths had been anticipated for days past. Adieu.

April 6, 4 P. M.
•Since writing you to-day we have had one of
ttho most beautiful hail-storms 1 have ever seen.
Not a hail stone exceeded the size of a common
pea, and all about the same size. The light
ning was so vivid, but the thunder was moder
ate in its tones. The rain exceeded somewhat
a heavy Jew, and the sun lighted up with great
brilliancy the surrounding hills and mountains.
Last afternoon we witnessed a spectacle of
surpassing grandeur—indeed terribly sublime.
About 4 o’clock P. M. the whole western sky
■teemed to be on fire, and you could plainly per
ceive dark and angry veins shooting apd curling,
with blood-streaming appearances, in every ffi
s-G.ctiop. Man cannot look upon such a scene
without feeling his utter helplessness, his entire
dependence upon the God of all power, j. s. c.
Cuernavaca, April 14,1848.
It is with extreme sorrow l announce the
of Lt. Reeder, of <*Q|tt|tiiny A, Mt’d. Bat.

feeder died within four miles of the
bis tej&afos, escorted by Lt. Chandler aQcuQL
Master Sergeant John Jones, and others, ha<L
reached the .city, ami that the deceased shoulcft
be “properly interred.” jfl
About five weeljs sinee IJ. Reeder for ;tne
.first time complained cf being unwell, an‘d he
bad encountered every exposure t to which we
have been subjected without suffbofog severely.;
it was tnapi&st each day found h'bV > n a
weaker state. Indeed, so feeble had he become,
his physicl powers were not sufficient to sustain,
at all times his mental powers. He had hoped, j
but his friends could not, that a change of cli
piate and new scenes might enable him to re
cover. But the sad tale is told. Ho was taken
on an ambulance from this place on the after
noon of the 11th, and died on the afternoon of
the 13th inst.
Lt. Reeder was, as far as he was known, uni
versally respected and loved, and always active
and intelligent in the discharge of his duties.
Here is evidence that the strongest, the most
prudent and discreet, must die, as well as the
imprudent and weak.
I have also received a letter from Capt. Ful
ton, from Puebla, in which he announces the
death of Lt. John T. Allen, which occurred on
the 27th ult. Lt. Allen had the reputation of
being an excellent soldier, and was elected a 2d
Lieutenant on the Bth of March, at this place,
to fill’a vacancy occasioned by the death ot Lt.
Hill. I learn also that Capt. Fulton “ has not
one man sick.” It affords me unqualified plea
sure to state, upon the authority of Dr. Glenn,
our excellent surgeon, that the three companies
at this place have not been in better health
since we landed in Mexico.
Dr. Bozeman and Lt. Hately left the city of
Mexico a few days ago, on their return to Geor
gia, having obtained leave of absence on accoont
ofbad health.
You will remember we are in a dark corner,
where light and intelligence can reach us but
seldom, and as a matter of course ignorant in re
lation to a speedy adjustment of our Mexican
‘difficulties, but Col. Bonner, in his letter of
yesterday says, “ the news this evening from
Queretaro is unfavorable to peace.”
As ever, yours, J. s. ?•
Cuernavaca, April 18, 1848.
Lt. Col. Seymour, now in command of this
department, has just ordered an escort from the
Mt’d. Bat. Ga. Vols., to accompany him to the
City of Mexico, to which he goes, it is
understood, by order of the General-in-Chief,
and it may be by request of the Court of Inquiry,
to give testimony in Maj. Gen. Pillow’s case. I
seize the opportunity to say, the sick are grad
ually improving. Dr. Glenn has not been able
to discharge his duties as Surgeon for the last
day or two. Dr. Richie, the Medical Director
at this post, is kindly attending to Dr. Glenn’s
duties, and informed Capt. Benfoe this morning
that our sick were doing well, and not a danger
ous case among them.
Capt. Goulding and his company are at Ajes
co, between this and Mexico—all well. The
Captain was quite sick, a few days ago, but on
yesterday I received a note from him giving us
I the agreeable intelligence that all symtoms of
disease had disappeared.
The intelligence that comes to us, in relation
to the ratification of the treaty, is of an unfavora
ble character. Rumor has it members are
leaving Queretaro, and that the probability of
an immediate quorum is not more favorable than
it was three months ago. We are begining to
rub up our carbines, muskets, pistols and can
non, to say nothing of our sabres.
Before this reaches you, you will have heard
oft he arrival of Clifford end Sevier—and from
my knowledge of the latter, I think the matter
will be disposed of, for weal or woe, in a very
short time.
The Colonel is now ready to leave. Adieu.

SENATE.
Mr. Douglass reported, without amendment,
House bill forthe admission of Wisconsin into
the Union, brft it was subsequently, at his sug
gestion, re-committed to the Committee on Ter
ritories for some alteration in regard to Mineso
ta.
Mr. Bagby’s resolutions declaratory of the
powers of the General Government on the sub
ject of slavery, particularly as connected with
admission of new territory, offered some time
since, were taken up, and after some discussion,
were, on motion of Mr. Badger, laid on the ta
ble, 24 to 9. [This is not considered a test
vote, as several Senators, who voted in the af
firmative, stated explicitly that they so voted to
prevent debate, and not on the principles in
volved.]
A bill to grant a pension of $lO per month
to John Mitchell, employed in the service of the
United States on board the ship Alabama; who
had lost both of his arms in firing a salute at
New Orleans for the battle of Cerro Gordo,
was taken up,
A debate ensued, and the bill was finally
passed over informally.
The bill to renew certain naval pensions for
five years, and extend its provisions, was taken
up, amended and passed.
Mr. Johnson’s resolution, relating to Gene,
rals Pillow and Cushing, were takpn up, but
Mr. Johnson being absent, its further considera
tion, at the suggestion of Mr. Allen, was post
poned to Thursday.
The bill from the House to refund moneys
advanced by States for transportation and sub
sistenee of volunteers, previous to being mus
tered into service, was read twice and referred.
House bill to amend and continue the char
ter of the city of Washington was taken up, and
after some discussion, was ordered to be en
grossed for a third reading.
The consideration of the Yucatan bill was
then resumed, and Mr. Bagby addressed the
Senate. He did not believe that the Govern
ment had the power to assume the character of
a “great almoner,” and to decide upon such
cases of humanity, as connected with the na
tions of the earth. But as to the question ofpol
icy involved in this measure, ho believed the
time had arrived when the United States were
called upon to assume a substantive and deci
ded position upon the principle involved in the
declarations of Mr. Monroe.
He should therefore discuss the question as
one of policy solely, and if the objects of hu
manity were subserved thereby, it would be be
cause they were incidental thereto, and not be
cause they form the basis of the measure itself.
He should take the information eonmfxncx
ted by the President for what it was and
no more. He had recommended m; Imprecise
course of action—-he had jpbnpiy given certain
information, leaving it to wongress to adopt such
measures as in their Wtfpom they might deem
proper and necessarttifr
He re extent, the views giv

things unAwriyfuch the declarations pf Mr. Mon
roe Marinade, and that the object of Mr. Can

mJrcial interests of Great Britain vypuh} he best
afllfomoted by the policy of the Allied Powers, or
Ke policy which was finally suggested. It was
jmfter full deliberation by the British Govern
ment was made by Mr. Rush.
When Mr. Bagby hgd concluded, the question
was taken on the amendment of Mr. Jefferson
Davis, as modified, so as to include the pream
ble of Mr. Lewis, and it was negatived by yeas
quid nays, 5 to 26.
‘fiiff bill was then, at the suggestion of Jfr.

quence of the number of Senators absent, and
with tjhe general understanding jtljJft the final
vote shall then be taken. Executive session-

Washington, May 17, P. M.
SENATE.
After the transaction of some unimportant
business, the Senate proceeded to the conside
i ration of the Yucatan Bill.
Mr. Dix addressed the Senate, and discussed
the question at much length.
Mr. Hannegan said he had received satis
factory information that a treaty had been con
cluded between the white and Indian population
ofYucatan, and therefore moved to postpone the
consideration of the bill until further information
should be received.
A debate sprang up on the matter, in which
the participants were Messrs. Underwood,

Mr. SethW. Fowle,
Dear Jr :—There are so many quack medicines at
thepreseit time, and each one lias moro or less certifi
cates fron real or imaginary individuals, that I have
for some lime had doubts of the propriety of giving any
testimony in favor of your medicine. But being assur
ed that ! have been benefitted by its use, and feeling
satisfiedjthat by giving in my testimony in regard to
its medrinal qualities, I may, perhaps, be the means of
savingliomo one similarly afflicted, I therefore cheer
fully my testimony in favor of the medicine that I
me great good. I hqve been afflicted
with tr Bronchitis for a number of years, and by the
use ofa couple of bottles of
WteTAR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY.
I am happy to say that I am almost free from the above
troublesome disease,
If this should be the means of saving even one of ray
fellow beings from that most troublesome and painful i
diseasStf'Brouchitis,) I shall be fully paid for my trouble
in writing the above communication.
Respectfully yours,

ho is now, greatly to our surprise, enjoying most excel

GREAT NATIONAL PILLS!
H G. BENJ. SMITIpS “Improved Indian Veg-
MJr etable Sugar Coated Pills,” are the medicine of
the United States, and their superiority over all others
for entire efficacy and pleasantness has won for them a
pre-eminence of fame which needs no foreign influence
to perpetuate. Almost unheralded they have silently
worked their way, and have gained a permanent hold
on the approbation ol'the people which no other medi
cine or opposition can relax. For about four years they
j have triumphed over disease, and brought joy and
gladness to many an anxious bosom. Their purity iis
a medicd and compound, commends them to the most
delicate, and even the mere hardy, who have suffered
from the effects of impure properties in the stomach,
will at once be pleased with the delightful operation of
these Pills. They have the rare merit of the most care
fully selected ingredients, are always safe, and can be
no danger of taking them improperly at anytime. A
single trial will manifest their excellence in relieving the
body in many precursors of alarming disease, keeping
the bowels gently open, thereby ensuring the continu
ance of health. The most eminent chemist in New
York has given his certificate that these Pills are purely
vegetable, or NATURE’S OWN REMEDY. The
great principle recognized by the inventor of this inval
uable medicate is, that every part of the body, wheth
er in health or disease, is brought under the influence
of the digestive organs. This plain and rational doctrine
1 forms the only ground an which a good family medicine
can be recommended. Operating according to the prin
ciple, Dr. Smith’s Pills strengthen the stomach, pro
mote the secretions of the liyer, skin aud kidneys, agd
regulate the bowels, Thereby adopting the only natur
al and consistent method of rendering the Life Blood
Pure, by correcting the vitiated humors of the \yh.Qlo
system.’
It is impossible to give every particular in this brief
liofice, Inti thu Piljs are earnestly recommended as a
means qf preventing so much misery and disease,
which grow out of constipation of the bowels, neglect
ed colds, slight attacks, &c., and which it is in the
power of ALL TO PREVENT.
THEY CURE
Moat all the diseases of the Western Country, and in
ALL UILIOUS DISORDERS,
They stand alone, unparalleled—the sick man’s friend.
Among the complaints for which these Pills are highly
recommeuded, are the following, viz:
Fevers, Dyspepsia., Indigestion, Costiveness, Head
ache, Bad appetite, Diarrhoea, Dsscntary, Liver com
plaint, Warms, Heartburn, Bilious colic, Foul, stom
ach, Jaundice , Pain in the side, Scrofula, Bad blood,
Obstructions, Female complaints, Rheumatism,Whoop
ing coughs, Weak nerves. Hysterics, Coughs, Colds,
Influenza, Pimples, Chills and Fevers, See.
By following the simple directions which accompa
ny every box of genuine Pills, a permanent cure will
be affected. Most of the Hospitals in New York have
given these Pills the preferance over more than 20 kinas
that have been tested, t
in New York and elsewhere, use them in their practice.
More than a thousand certficutes have been received
at the principal office, and the people arc referred to
“ Smith’s Herald &. Gazette,” where they can read of
the most important cures.
Beware of Imposition!
Tho demand for Dr. Smith's Pills being every where
great, several unprincipled persons have niado Pills of
the most miserable and dangerous stuff, and to palm
them off for the genuine, have put on a “coating of su
gar.” Therefore, beware, and always look for the
Written Signature of
G. BENJ. SMITH,
On the bottom of every box, to counterfeit which, is for
gery. O’ If these Pills do not give entire satisfaction,
the money will be refunded. O’Price 25 etsper box,

“ITfoR. LeROY, a Licentiate of the Royal College of
jmJr Physicians, in London, haying used in his private
practice for a number of years, WILD CHERRY and
SARSAPARILLA, at length made an extract of them,
which, with other vegetables, lie lias combined in one
of the best Pills ever made known to the European
community, and which met the attention of the Ameer
ican people. They are tlie most efficacious purgative
ami tonic yet discovered.
The IP i Id •CherrytH an excellent tonic, posses
sing astringent and aromatic properties, which make it
valuable in Dyspepsia , Jaundice, Weakness of the Sto
mach and Chest.
The Sarsaparilla is demulcent, dieuretic and
soothing, and is given in Rheumetism, Scrofula, Disea
ses of the Skin, and to eradicate the bad effects of Mer
cury. In the operations of all other purgative medi
cines debilitation and purification go hand in hand ; they
remove the good as well as the bad, thus weakening tho
system which they were only required to cleanse, and
making the cure, generally, almost as had, and frequent
ly much worse, than the disease. Dr. Leßoy’s Pills,
on the contrary, strengthen and tone the system which
they purge and purify. And this is their peculiar at
tribute, and the principal cause of their unrivalled pop
ularity'.

Cherry are too well known to medical men and the com
munity’ to require further detail.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE,
4 weekly Journal, commenced in Athens, Georgia,
on Saturday, the 1 Qthof May.
EDITED BY WM. C. RICHARDS.
There is not, soutli of tho Potomac, a single Jourr
nul whose sole object is to develope and foster lit
erary taste and talent in the South ; and this fact is
certainly a sufficient reason for an earnest attempt tq
establish such a journal. The failure of previous effort*
cannot be regarded by the intelligent mind as an argu
ment against such a:i attempt. Those failures may have
been, and probably were, the result of circumstances no
longer existing. The need of such an organ in oar
midst, is so universally acknowledged,that not to attempt
to supply the deficiency, would indicate a disregard of
the signs of the times scarcely more surprising than in
excusable.
The progress of the ago, and the rapid advance of the
South in Commerce, Manufactures, and Internal Im
provements, imperatively demand a corresponding ad
vance in literature. To aid in this great object, lie has
established a Weekly Journal at the seat of the Univer
sity of Georgia and rallied ground it the best writers of
the South.
The Editor is assured of the support of his able coad
jutors in the Orion Magazine, and also of much other
assistance from the most prominent writers of the South.
The Gazette is made up of matter both original and
selected ; and comprises Tales, Essays, Sketches of
-IbuivaX. PteteyvChit*.;, M isidlmhv
of information in all departments of Literature, Art
and Science. Particular attention is paid to Scientific
and Practical Mechanics.
In Mechanical execution it is surpassed by no contem
porary, and the aid of the fine arts will not be wanting
to.enhance its attractions. Portraits of Southern writers
and pictures of Southern Life and Scenery will be pre
sented.
The Editor confidently appeals to (lie friends of Lit*
erature in flip South ; and he is happy to announce that
his enterprise is of no doubtful issue. By private effort
a large and generous list has been obtained, and upwards
of One Thousand Subscribers have pledged their support
to the paper. Until this was accomplished, the editor
was unwillingto publish his Journal, but it is novygiyeil
to the public with the unequivocal assurance that it shall
bo permanent.

COMPOUND SYRUP OF NAPHTHA.
NOT ONLY A POSITIVE hut a warranted euro
for Consumption and all other diseases of tho
Lungs!
The success which has attended Hastings’ Naphtha
Syrup, in Decline, Consumption, Spitting of Blood,
Asthma, <jf-c., since its introduction into the United
States fully equals what it met with in Europe. Its use
has been adopted in nearly all our larger hospitals ; and
the most eminent of our physicians hu-ve written highly
favorable notices of it, and patronise it extensively in
their private practice. Indeed, they have almost aban-
doned all other remedies for the usual diseases of the
lungs ; and a single case has not yet been reported in
which it lias failed to and relief. If
the reader is at all inclined to Consumption, or affected
with *my’ which are likely to produce it,
let him lose no time in-procuring a bottle of HAS
TINGS’ NAPHTHA SYRUP, and one or two do6es
will satisfy him of its surprising virtues, and that a con
tinanceof its use will restore him to health ; for it not
only cures in a lines periqd, but gives relief, and a war
rant of its excellence aud mastery over the disease in a
few minutes after it is received into the system. Hence
Sir James Clarke, the Court Physician, remarks of it,
that “in consequence of the brisk and uowiistukcatT
energy of its operations, no medicine has so much/
confidence of patients as Hasliugss’ Compound Sy)w
of Naphtha.”
