Northern Publishers and their faith less Promises. —We have been thinking, for some time, of penning a paragraph showing up the utter faithlessness of some of the Northern Publishers in regard to their voluntary pledges towards those country Editors who have pub lished their prospectuses, on the promise of an “ exchange,” or a certain number of copies of certain published works, in return for the service thus conferred upon the proprietors. This ex pose is due not only to those who have faithfully redeemed all promises made, but to our own con science, which has for a long time borne the burden of our silence under repeated injustice of this character, until we are at length prompted by its goadings to make a “clean breast of it” for the benefit of all concerned. So h-re goes : No. 1. Neal’s Saturday Gazette (Philad.) — Prospectus published several months, marked and sent—also Agent notified of the fact. Never received the first copy. No. 2. Wellman’s Illustrated Botany, (New York.) Only a few numbers received. Sub scribers obtained through our recommendation cheated out of their numbers. No. 3. Albany (N. Y.) Cultivator—Exchange stopped, although Prospectus was published for months! , No. 4. T. C. Clarke, 65 Dock st., Philad.— Proprietor of the “National Work,” or “Life of Gen. Taylor,” owes us five copies of said work, which we have given up the notion of getting. No. 5. N. Y. Illustrated Magazine —Only a few numbers received —know not what has be come of it. No. 6. Married Woman’s Companion—A. M. Mauriceau, N. A. No. 7. Anglo-American—Editorial notice giv. on months ago, and put on our exchange list by the Agent himself — last we have heard of it. On the other hand, we have to make honora ble mention of the Proprietors of the Southern and Western Literary Messenger; the N. Y. Columbian Magazine; the Home Journal; the Washington Union; the Phila. Saturday Cornier, [except in the matter of Ind. Cour.—not reed,] who have acted up to the letter and spirit of their public pledges and are worthy of all co’nfi dence in this respect. Os the others we can only say, “ Procul, oh procul! este profani : ” hasten to do works meet for repentance, or re main the fit subjects of all the infamous notorie ty which your faithlessness merits. Wasteful Extravagance! —The prodigal expenditure of the Girard Fund, in building a palace which it took 14 years or more to erect, instead of a plain substantial building, according to the will of the Testator, is well known to every body. And the end thereof is not yet, judging from the enormous salaries which are to be paid to the superintendents and teachers of the Insti tution, which is shortly to go into operation. Joseph R. Chandler, Esq. late Editor of the U. iS. Gazette, xvlio has long been one of the Phila delphia City Council, at whose door lies the shameful extravagance of the Girard l*und, has been elected President of the College or Super intendent, at a salary of four thousand dollars per annum ! Other officers have salaries in propor tion ! The acceptance of such a sum, on the part of Mr. Chandler, will do much to prove him ; to be a selfish and avaricious man instead of the | enlightened and liberal friend of education which j he has somehow got a reputation for. A person j of his wealth ought not to allow himself to be come the pampered beneficiary of a Fund which should be held sacred to the necessities of the helpless orphan ! Rich Churches and Dying Heathen.— One Church in New York having an annual rev enue of 860,000 can build Church edifices at a cost of 8300,000 each, while its annual appro priation for charitable purposes and the propa gation of the Gospel, is about 81000 per year! Another Church, without any revenue from pro perty, has raised within the last year 833,000 for religious purposes ! Did any of these rich Church people ever hear of one “ meek and low ly ” Nazarene, who “ had not where to lay his head ” while a pilgrim in this vale of tears 7 Or have they heard mention made of a wealthy gen tleman, of the name of Dives, who flourished some 1840 years ago 7 It appears to us that when a religious denomination can become so worldly as to expend 8300,000 on a house of worship, that they must have entirely forgotten the history of the “ Babe of Bethlehem” as well as overlooked the awful doom which befel a “certain rich man” in the parable! Certes, the Saviour of the xvorld would hardly recognize his humble disciples in the gay throng that con gregate in such splendid temples, or there dis cover the devout Pauls and Peters whom he had commissioned to “ preach his gospel to the poor"! Alas! we fear that such religionists, knowing that they cannot, at one and the same time, “ serve God and mammon,” have thought it expedieut to offer their more devout worship to the latter. Such, at least, would appear to be the fashion of some in the great commercial em porium of these United States. Verily, they have their reward. Lawyers and Witnesses. —lt is the prac tice of certain of the pettifogging class of Law yers to brow-beat and abuse witnesses in Court, whose testimony may not exactly suit them, with :a view to invalidate their evidence. A case of ithe kind came ofl’injPhiladelphia lately, wherein Geo. W. Barton, Esq., most grossly assailed the character of Harvey J. Smith, a witness in the case of the Commonwealth vs. A. G. Daniel. Smith testified of Daniel, that at an interview he, the witness, had with defendant, the latter “cried, as ho could whenever he wished to do so.” For this. Barton called Smith “a young gentleman of very anti-crocodilc propensities, a • counter-hopper, a miserable retailer of tapes nnd bobbins, remnants, shreds and patches,” aye, tho counsel declared (buttoning up his coat) that “ if fucli a man should come into his office, he would button up his pockets, and put an extra guard upon his watch, the same as he would do in go ing into the untried department of Moyamen sing,” &c. Thereupon, Smith demanded a re traction of the offensive reflections, which being refused, he gave Lawyer Barton a caning over the head, in presence of the Court. Judge Par sons immediately ordered Smith to jail, refusing all bail although half a million was ready to be tendered 1 Now here was a case of gross outrage on a witness, in the presence of the Court, which it was the business of Judge Parsons to have punished. Lawyer Barton should have been stopped at once in his abuse of the witness, or have been sent to jail. That done, there would have been by Mr. Smith. But the Court did not protect the witness and he unlaw fully and improperly took the law in his own hands, (if, indeed, there is any law which will protect witnesses against a Lawyer’s abuse,) and caned his assailant. Barton’s pate was thus ille gally, though justly, made to suffer for the im pertinence of his foul tongue ! And Smith was imprisoned for the act, without being allowed the privilege of giving hail. This shows that his honor Judge Parsons is unfit for the station he occupies. Ilis sense of dignity not being strong enough, in the first place, to prevent Barton abu. sing a witness in his Court, should not so quick ly have, “gotten upon stilts” as to deny the.privi. lege of bail to the offender against the majesty of the Court. It is intimated that the case will be prosecuted, in order to test the question, how far a Lawyer may, with impunity, trespass upon the feelings and character of a witness. We hope so, be cause unless there is some reasonable limit set to the badgering and bullying of witnesses, on the part of Lawyers, one of two things is inevi table : decent men will not, except per force, go into a Court room to testify, or else, they will have to do as Smith did—take the responsibility of caning such Lawyers as are guilty of defam ing their characters. These jemarks do not very particularly apply to our Courts and Law yers, for they are, generally, gentlemen who practice the legal profession amongst us, hut oc casional abuses, of the kind noted, do happen, which are “more honored in the breach than the observance.” Therefore it is that we have writ ten what wo have written, by way of warning, reproof and instruction in righteousness, to a class that are, proverbially, a stiff-necked and perverse generation of men. The New Engine. —We have been shown a letter just received by Mr. Ruse from our towns man, Capt. H. T. Hall, now in New York, .from which we learn that Capt. 11. has contract ed with Mr. James Smilh, of that city, for anew Fire Engine of the following description : 8] inch cylinder, 9.j inch stroke, working 26 men, and throwing two streams from the box. — She is to suck her own water and play through 1000 feet of hose, on any 3 story house in New York, or two streams through 500 feet hose, each, the same elevation ; or one 1 inch stream with 100 feet hose to an elevation of 120 feet. The cost of the Engine, complete, will be about 81,000, and that amount of money can probably be raised from the citizens—Bßoo being already in hand. In addition, there is wanted 8500 for the pur chase of Hose and other equipments. This a mount, it is suggested, ought to be paid by the city and county, inasmuch as that sum can be annually saved to the county, by rescuing taxa ble property from conflagration. The interest ; the county thus has in this matter, as well as in the greater security of public property, from :? well appointed Fire Apparatus, will, we trust, in duce the Judges of our Inferior Court to aid in in the manner suggested. Out of some 812,000 of taxes collected for State and County purposes, f from the city alone, surely the pittance-of 85Rw can easily he spared for this important purr yeses’ N. B.—The following is a graphic desc/rp tion of the new Engine, ala Bon,:cry, hr O/W. It of course is to he taken cum grknn sails: t “ She’s moddled after 22, with a patent refrigerator, and can throw water 11,000 feet over the Croton ohm —runs on elastic patent goose grease spiral springs, can boat 42. and wash away all the small machines in a big fire. She is 72 inch cylinder, 150 feet stroke, 1000 horse-power, and her captain is one of the bo’hoys.” A W ord of Approval. —Several new sub- I scribers have lately added their names to our list, by way of approval of our course, touching the recent case of Lynching in this city, more than making up any deficiency arising from the dissatisfaction of one or two old subscribers from the same cause. In addition, we have received the following letter from a gentleman in Eufaula, Ala. which exhibits so just appreciation of what the public sentiment ought to be on the duties of the Press, that we must be excused for laying it before our readers: Eufaula, Ala. July 10, 1847. Dr. Andrews —Dear Sir: Passing the store of a friend, a few moments ago, I took up the Muscogee Democrat, and on looking over its columns in haste, my eye fell upon an article headed “ without excuse,” in which you comment, very justly, upon the conduct of certain gentlemen, (heaven save the mark ‘.) one of whom I see, has in consequence of your course in making public their ignoble and reckless conduct, I stopped the Democrat. Now I hope the virtuous anil j law-abiding will not suffer you to lose any thing by the manly and independent course you have taken, i in relation to such transactions. You will therefore | please send me your paper and consider me one of your subscribers. Respectfully yours, &c. z. t. and. “Quick Stkp.” —Mr. Reps has laid upon our ; tabic a piece of printed Music, of this title, “ from Prock’s beautiful Melody of the Alpine Horn, as played by the Columbus Guards’ Brass Baud, and arranged for the Piano Forte by If. Bf.rnhkutf.k, Director of the Philharmonic Society, Columbus Ga.” Not being a connoisseur in the divine art* wo cannot speak authoritatively of the merits of this piece, hut presume that it is capital. Pro fessor B. knows how to do up the semiquavers so as to discourse most beautiful music. lEO d!J §©®(g i I ®§M© Mlf □ More Factories.— The “ Howard Manufac turing Company,” is the title of anew Manufac turing Company recently formed in this city. A building 125 feet by 48, and four stories high, is to be erected, capable of putting in operation 5000 spindles. Some of our wealthiest citizens are engaged in the enterprise. Messrs. Winter & Brooks’ Planing and Sash and Blind establishment is nearly ready for the machinery, which is now on the way from Ma con, wagons having been sent thither for it. It gives us pleasure to notice such valuable im provements springing up in our midst. With these and others of like character, together with our Rail Road and Magnetic Telegraph, and the march of our city to the zenith of prosperity will he a “ fixed fact ” and no longer the “ baseless fabric of a vision.” To Remove Freckles. —A western paper announces the marriage of Miss Clementina j Freckles to Mr. A.

At it Again !—We were in hopes that we not “again have occasion to nuilceany carelessness .4 inattention, on the part of our city Post Office incum bents, in reference to the proper forwarding of our packages to their destinations. But it seems that” line upon line and precept upon precept is necessary ” in order to keep matters straight in that Department.— We have now to state the fact that our ‘Shell Creek’ aud ‘ Hannahatchee ’ packets, did not. reacli those of fices on Friday before last, as usual, although all our packets were put in the Post Office here, on Thurs day evening previous, before dark !

The Vegetable Restorative, OR LIQUID CATHARTIC. THIS Medicine is agreeable to take and ope rates without griping or debilitating. It is highly corrective and alterative in its effects, producing consistent evacuations and thereby leaving the bowels in a natural and good condition ; and be j cause of this property in its combination, it does not i wear out like other cathartics, particularly such as the ] most of Pills, many of which invariably produce co ! pious and watery discharges, and leave the bowels in ’ a constipated state. Not so with ibis Medicine—it is a natural remedy, acting . with nature, aiding, not forcing her in the pciformanee of her functions—hence for INDIGESTION or DYSPEP ; SI A, it is highly valuable. It can be taken, with perfect - safety, by the niost delicate and enfeebled persons, cliil* 1 dren, or others. On account of its mildness, convenience, i and efficacy, it is destined to become, in public estimation, i what it has proved to he in private practice, a FAMILY or DOMESTIC MEDICINE, suited to all derangements of the Stomach, and valuable whenever u Cathartic or Ape rient is needed. Persons who have lone: been compelled to take Pills. Oi/s, or Salts, will find in this a pleasant and highly valu able substitute. It is not intended as a remedy for all diseases that Flesh is heir to—but particularly for LIVER and STOMACH DERANC4EMENTS, which may be know n by some or all of the following symptoms:— Want of Ajrpetite, Heart Hum, Costiveness, Flatulence , Colic, Oppression at the Stomach, Distention of the Stom ach, particularly after taking a small quantity of food; Restlessness at night, day colored evacuations from the Dowels, countenance of a dull white, or yellow hue. O’ A small quantity of this Medicine taken daily, gen erally regulates the bowels in a short time. For sale at Dr. M. WOODRUFF’S. May 27.1847 21—ts Broad street, Columbus.
