mained in the carriage*.rending. The vehicle,
- flie horses, the livery,-niid appointments, were
all of a superior order, and attracted the espe
cial attention of two friends, who stood conver
sing in a neighboring shop door. ‘Ah,’said
on* to the other; ‘that’s something handsome
now. How I should like to be driven out in
such an equipage as that! ’ ‘ Well,’ replied
the other, coolly,‘you have only to step in at
once, and you will be drjven out immediately.

I did not receive it till this morning. Indeed,
scarcely a mail arrives safe without being

coach with the mails from Dublin was robbed
near this town ; the bags had been judiciously
left heliind for fear of accident, and by good
luck there was nobody in it but two outside pas
sengers, who had nothing for tho thieves to
tike. Last Thursday notice was given that a
gang of rebels were advancing here under the
French standard, but they had no colors, nor
any drums except bagpipes. Immediately eve
ry man in tho place, including women and chil
dren, ran out to meet them. We soon found
our force much too little; and we were far too
near to think of retreating. Death was in eve
ry face, but to it we went, and by tho time half
ctir little party were killed, wc began to be al!
alive again. Fortunately, the rebels had no
guns, except pistols, cutlasses and pikes ; and as
wo had plenty of guns ami ammunition, we put
them all to the sword. Not a soul of them es
caped, except some that were drowned in an
adjacent hog ; and in a very short time nothing
was to be heard but silence. Their uniforms
were all diflerent colors hut mostly green.—
After the action, we went to rummage a sort of i
a camp which they had left behind them. All ,
we found was a few pikes, without heads, a’
parcel ot empty bottles full of water, and a bun- |
ille of French commissions filled up with Irish
names. .Troops are now stationed all around
the country, which exactly squares with my

AN ACCOUNT
of the battle of Buena Vista, in Scriptural style.
1. And it came to pass in those days when
the war between the children of brother Jona
than and the children of Ishmael, known as the
Mexicans, was prosecuted with vigor.
2. With the object of conquering a piece of
Mexico.
3. That the armies of the Mexicans crossed
over the wilderness which stretches from Mat
ehuaia to Agua Neuva, some forty leagues,
headed by their chief captain, Antonio, whose
surname was Lopez de Santa Anna.
4. And Zachary, one of the mighties of Bro
ther Jonathan, was the chief captain of the host
of the Americans at Agua Neuva, or the New
Water, in the heart of the enemy’s country.
5. Ilowbeit, the chief captain over all the
i American armies in MexicoNvas Winfield, a
I man of valor, who stood like Saul, the first king
: of Israel, a head and shoulders above his peers.
| 0. VVho, after supping “a hasty plate of soup ’
| in the chief city of Washington, put on all the
j panoply of war, and with ships and transports,
1 a great fleet and huge engines, and twelve thou.
I sand men of War, set sail to Vera Cruz, the
! cjiief seaport of the Mexicans.
U: TV -Wberowabio, theft? was
tie, black as thunder, and grim as death, set!
ting out ns a huge prison in the midst of the
sea.
8. And Antonio, the chiefcaptain f the Mex
ican*, had a woodpn leg.
9. For the Gauls had bombarded the castle
once upon a time, when Antonio was its defen
der, and a stray shot from the enemy had woun
ded him sore.
10. And Winfield, when he repaired to Vo
ra Cruz with his mighty host, hearing that An
tonia was at San Luis Potosi, midway between
Vera Cruz and Agu Nueva ;
11. And hearing that the Mexican armies
were fast for provisions, and could not budge- n
peg from the want thereof;
12. And thinking that Antonio would be tit.
| terly tillable to cross the desert to the discomfi.
Hire of Zachary, he took from him the main body
of his regular soldiers, told him to “lay low
and keep dark,” and in order to be perfectly
safe, to fall back into Monterey, under the
the shadow of tho mountains, where the enemy
could not reach him, if peradventure they
should cross the desert.
14. But Zachary was exceedingly wroth,
and determined to have a crack at ’em ’ any
how.
15. Moreover, the water at Agua Nueva
was wholesome to the men : and as it was on
the edge of tho desert, he coultl see further than
under the mountains at Monterey.
16. And though left with but r>,ooo young
men he resolved to stand the racket.
17. And.hearing from the spies which wore
sent out to that Antonio was
approaching withmighty host of caniiouiers,
rancheros* foot, and dragoons ;
18. And, furthermore that the chief captain
oflhe Mexicans was anxious to immortalize
himself in a great battle with the Americans.
19. Old Zachary put both hands in hi's pock
cts, and said he’d bed Jif he didn’t give
him a chance.
..20. And -Santa Anna, which is Antonio,
drow :nigh unto Agua Nueva, with 17,000,
meii. *> *
1 - 21. And Zachary fell back to the hacienda
of Btsefth Vista, or Good Prospect, where he
‘could have a g ‘od. prospect of the enemy.
22. Where he planted hi* men by regiments,
battalions, squadrons, and companies, among
tho hills and ravines, flanked by the, barren and
sunburnt mountains.
23i’ And in the serfond month, and on the 22d
(liiyof the month, and on the eleventh hour of
rfio day, tho ttvo armies were pitched forth for
vhi'hfttlle.
24. And the Mexicans were spread around
lilftjstf great host of starving wolves, while the
army of brother Jonathan mustered like a
’small herd of tigers among the hills.
25. And Antonio sent to Zachary a messen
ger, asking him respectfully to surrender, as it
would be a great accomodation.
26. And Zachary respectfully declined.
27. And the battle began with some heavy
canonading in tho afternoon of the day on
which the great Washington was born ;
28. So that the Mexicans unwittingly joined
the Americans in the celebration.
29. And again on the next day, the battle
was renewed and sustained all tho day with
great slaughter on both sides.
30. And the onomy being starved, fought
over the dead bodies of tho Americans for the
incut and drink which was in their knapsacks.
31. And Antonio had to drive others at the
point of the lance into the battle, so exceeding
hot was the fire of the American volunteers.
32. And there fell of the enemy near two
thousand men.
33. And at night, the chief Captain of the
Mexicans, with his shattered army', fell back
upoti Agua Nueva.
34. And carried with him three of the great
guns of the Americans, which were taken by
reason that tlicir defenders were shot down.
35. And issued a proclamation, that on the
morrow, when his men had eaten a mouthlul'of
provisions, that he would finish the work.
36- But instead thereof he retreated across
the desert toward San Luis- Potosi, on the pre
ticc that Gen. Patterson was coming to town.
37. And Zachary resumed his position at
Agua Nueva, for his men were dry.
38. And ho sent a messenger to Washington
with despatches of all that had been done, and
exibited his loss to be near eight hundred men
in*killed and wounded.
39. And told the Adjutant General to toll the
Secretary of War, surnamed old leather breech
es, that it was, perhaps, as well to keep the
desort between him ami tho enemy, as to ud.
mil them down to Monterey.
49. And there was great joy among the
Americans, albeit many hearts were grieved
by reason of the. slain.
41. And Old Zachary was prono'incod by
acclamation, as one of the b'hoys.

Good Advice.—Dow, jr. in one of Ids scr
’mons, gives tho following advice to the young
ladies of his flock :
“.The buxom, bright-eyed, rosy-checked, full
breasted, bouncing lass, who can darn a stock
ing, mend trousers, command a regiment of pois
and kettles, feed the pigs, chop wood, milk the
cows, and be a itldy withal in company, is just tho
sort ol a girl Ibjjfme, and for any worthy man to
marry; but ye piling, moping, lolling, screwed
up, wasp-wasted, idofi-drcsscd, putty-laced, cop
sumption-mortgo’ged, music-murdering, novel-de
vouring daughters of fashion and idleness, you are
no more lit for matrimony than a pullet is to look
after a family offourtc.cn chickens.”
A rather laughable affair occurred alow weeks
ago, in one of our principal hotels, showing the
peculiar regard which some have to rank or title
in office. Several members of the house of rep
resentatives were seated at a dining table; (feel
ing rather dignified, we suppose,) when one of
them said, “ B ill the gentleman Trom Andover
please pass the butter this way.” Pretty spoil
another spoke, “ Will the gentleman from Wor
cester please pass the salt this way,” whengn©
of our city wags, taking the hint, turned round to
the black waiter, and says, “.Willthe
gentleman from Africa please pass the brcadlhis

* . NEW DISCOVERY.
Having passed a'life- of fifty odd years, mostly
as a citizen qf Georgia; in which titpe I have
seen and heard njauy'things, yet I have not seen
or heard of any thingrwhich conics so nearly up
to a chalk line as this'new and valuable discovery.
I have had a clock a long time—have riever
owned but the one; and the old clock, pretty
much like myself had groxvifjircd of ticking. She
had been heretofore cleaned and greased! in
which way she had continued on for many years,
| sometimes grumbling, and sometimes refusing to
| tick, until the above medicine was given,j. At
firs!, after taking the medicine, she would tidk on
as if new. For a few of the past years o* her
life, it raqujjed some persuading in addition to
the usual prescription ; and finally she became
so ill as to neglect the tick altogether, regular or
irregular, until 1 was ready to conclude tfc old
■ clock had ticked its last tick ; but since t as ap
, plication of my has gone to work,
’ ticking equally as well as she did at the *be of
j sixteen. Now tor the discovery : y*r
| Take a few walnuts, crack them, pick cat the
. kernels, and by any .of the means used by a :om?,
1 mon school boytii press the juice of oak b ifs to
nmk£ \vrAlpig#ok. let She in he pressed, an the
oil sttfud the cold without -eez
ing, in any*climato in the world, I believe, The
j smallest portion will bo,sufficient to Set your
clock to Workfivcn if old, as though sho wi s just
in the prime ot life. Ileat ami friction so-m to
have less cflect upon it, than upon any oil I have
ever tried ; and to repeat, as for cold, it sec ns to
have no effect at all.
1 have not applied for a patent-right so ■ my
discovery—any person may rnaj?e use o’ this
j wonderful oil, in restoring old clocks to tie’ .'ness
■ of life, provided they do not Jtpply for a patent in
l favor of themselves upon my discovery. I say
! this oil answers the purpose exactly.
j One proviso more.—Any persdh being desir
ous to use this oil without liability to me, will do
j as I have done, go and get the walnuts, p(qk out
the kernels, press them until he gets tho oil, put
it on his clock as ho like* best, ami my word for
: it, l shall churgo him nothing for this valuable
I oil, good as it is.
And now, Major, having set my “discovery ,&t
liberty upon certain conditions, 1 propose to throw
off the jocular and come in*iubcrnoss and good
earnest to loiue ol the ultimate advantages to so
ciety in general, of my discovery, (for I claim it.)
1. Any poor man cairjfflnnt the seed, anti the
tree* will, without -further attention, in a few
year#’ time, yield a harvest of the fruit, which,-
when gathered, is not only desirable to most ap
petites, but a source of profit and mutual income
tuny be derived from an orchurd of two or three
acres, the trees planted about twenty feel apart.
The advantage of. this is, any person may raise
th tme upon ribo -t ant suit nf Intel, 4ii'l lho
yield will be sufficient to defray tho ncoessary
expenses of an ordinary family, using moderate
economy.
• 2. The large quantities of oil usejJ upon Rail
roads to keep the running gear in order will in
sure a ready sale of the article, both in our own
countiy and in Europe. Also, it may xvith equal
propriety, be applied to nearly or quite all the
various machinery now in use throughout the
world, with more certainty and advantage to
them, and at a much less cost than they now pay
for oil.
Thus, by my discovery', the poor man may
jjtive money, the rich be benefited, old lands be
node new—poor land be enriched, and a large
qi antity of beautiful, valuable and enduring tim
ber be raised, which might be afforded cheap to
cabinet workmen for furniture purposes it r.c.

mixed with purified oil.

New Map of Georgia.
THE undersigned has been, for months, past, en
gaged, under the direction of his Excellency, Gov.
CrawfortL in compiling Map of the State of Georgia,
on a six miles to the inch. The undertaking
is now nearly completed, and he flatters himself he
will rocejvo the favorable patronage of his fellow-citi
cons—sufficient, at least, to have it published and
placed in a durable form.
That a revised delineation is called for, of our ex
tensive territory, independently df what exists in the
.labors of St urge* sml'Grcene.wdll not be questioned.
The accumulation nnd possession, since their times,
of a v&.t body of land designated then as wildomess.
or the temporary domain of the Indian tribes, with Hfet
umKehjceta well worthy “ a habitation nnd n name,”
base licettconverted into nrpnniieH bounties. present-
ing a dense population, flourishing villages, and ex
tensive public and private improvements.
The Map to be published (so soon as a sufficient
number of subscribers will warrant,) is 6 feet by 4
and 8 inches, and is designed to exhibit as well as
perpetuate the present condition of the whole topog
raphy of the State. In addition to the ordinary metes
and bounds—courses of rivers and ranges of moun
tains, Railroads. Canals, county sites, post offices, fac
tories, i- fact all remarkable places of the past or pre
sent day, will be shown. The attention of the com
piler has been particularly directed to a faithful draw
ing of county line's and public roads, and to accom
plish such important ends, he has not only consulted
the original surveys and the acts of various Legisla
tures, buthe deemed it the better plan to make rough
sketches of each county and submit the same to the
Justices of the Inferior Court, Postmasters, and others
equally compent and obliging, and to ask for* such
additions and corrections as might be necessary, and
farther to designate any and all objects of natural cu
| riosity that might exist. To many, if not all of his
! requests, kind, prompt and satisfactory answers were
! received, so that many glaring inaccuracies in the
j maps heretofore published have been corrected ; and
I the compiler takes this occasion of returning his ac
! knowlcdgments to those who favored his objects, as
i rendering a service not merely to himself, but aiding
\ most materially in the thorough and correct develope
meet of the whole plan. To his brother Engineers of
1 the different Railroads, his thanks are due for the use
of maps which enabled him not only to lay down the
| true courses of those important works, but likewise te
make profiles exhibiting the elevation above the set,
j of every station from the Atlantic to the Temteteetr
: river. The Map will be embellished with views of
’ the State House and Executive Mansion, and will be
* furnished to subscribers at their residences at ten dal
| lars per copy. W. G, BONNER,

THE HISTORY OF AMERICA,
EDITED BY JOHN INMAN, ESI*.
THE republication of this valuable Work has been
undertaken partly on account of the high favor with
which it has been received in England, but chiefly in
j consideration of its intrinsic value, arising lro4l its
i felicitous adaptation of the plan to a want that has
been long and generally felt, and from the judgment
and fidelity manifested in its execution. The idea of
I giving in a single work, of no very formidable dimetx
j sions, and at a price which brings it within the reach
of very moderate circumstances, a sufficient outline
of the world’s whole history, and similar outlines of
the history of every nation, is so ohvionsly judicious
1 and appropriate as to require no eiiiogium. Every
person who cares at all for the acquisition of useful
knowledge, must desire to possess such a general
knowledge of past events, not only in his own country
but in all countries, as shall enable bint to understand
the perpetually recurring allusions that are found in
almost any course of general reading; because for
want of such understanding there is always a serious
diminution both of pleasure and profit, even in the pe
rusal of such works as arc designed chieflv for amuse
ment. For instance, most of Sir Walter Scott’s nov
els are founded upon history, and abound with refer
ences to historial events and personages, a want of
some acquaintance with which detracts seriously fiwn
the interest and delight they are so well qualitird to
awaken; and so of most other works belonging to
the better class of what is called light literature. But
; the difficulty has been to obtain this general knowl
i edge without going through many books, requiring a
i greater expenditure of time and money than most per
| sons are able or willing to afford ; nnd to obviate such
difficulty has been the purposeof Mr. Maunder.
His plan has the merit of completeness, and is un
doubtedly the best that could have been desired. He
gives first a general sketch of ancient and modern
history—a rapid and comprehensive bird’s-eye view,
as it were, ot the rise and progress of nations, the
most important incidents of their career, and their re
lations to each other ; and after this he takes up the
nations separately, furnishing a concise digest of all
that is important or desirable to know concerning
each, and thus affording a sort of key to the changes
and events that were more briefly indicated rather by
their results than their incidents, in the general sketch
ior outline. Tims the Puli’ nt points of history are
brought within a manageable compass; and an excel.
j lent foundation is laid lor more thorough and exten
sive reading in reference to any portion of the world
or any epoch of which a knowledge n.av he desired.
In the execution of this plan the author lias been
very successful. His notice of historical events, tho’
brief, are lucid and satisfactory; and he traces the
connection of effect and cause with singular acumen
and genarally with most commendable freedom from
partiality or bias; thus supplying a very good idea of
! the philosophy of history as well as of the facts which
I history records. In a word, the work will be found
invaluable to the general reader and a very useful help
I to the student.
