A Likeness of English Protectionists
On November 25, we drew attention to a*
speech delivered by Mr. Webster, in which
that American statesman —for a party and per
sonal purpose —had pandered to the preju
dices and ignorance of his countrymen, and
denounced foreign trade with all the vehe
mence of a tory duke or a protectionist squire.
We have lately been supplied with one of the
broad sheets issued at the period of the Presi
dential election, in which Mr. Webster’s doc
trines are taken up with all the zeal of a jour
nalist attached to the principles of the farmers’
friends. “ There has been imported,” it be
gins, after an emphatic call to study the facts,
“under the free trade Tariff Bill of 1846, one
hundred thousand tons of railway iron, into
the single port of New York; in addition,
within the last nine months, 48,391 tons of
pig metal; 145,227 bundles of sheet iron, rods,
&s.” One thus finds the complaints of our
own protectionists, of the vast quantity of fo
reign corn imported, echoed fnom the United
States. With the usual effects of echoes, a
slight change in sound occurs, and corn comes
back iron. “To manufacture this iron re
quired 700,000 tons of coal,” the protection
ists across the water go on, “465,000 tons of
ore, 150,000 tons of limestone ; if this iron had
been made in this country, it would have em
ployed 7,245 men ; and allowing a wife and
four children to each, we have 43,470 of our
citizens deprived of the means of support at
home, and their wages paid to 43,470 English
men.” Again, we hear the protectionist voice
echoed back—So many weavers, shoemakers,
&e. &c., thrown out of employment by the im
portation of foreign shoes and foreign silks.
The placard proceeds to state—“ln the month
of September last, there were imported into
New York 10,165 tons of pig metal, 24,768
bundles of sheet iron, rods, &c., 2,954 tons of
bar and rolled iron ; whilst before the tariff of
1846, the annual import of pig metal was only
11,274 tons, and a00ut26,000 bundles of sheet,
rods, &c. Now of what materials is this iron
composed ? Coal, iron ore and limestone, all
worthless unless converted into iron by the
labor of man ; and how much is that labor up
on a ton r The coal in the ground costs 25
cents per ton, ore do. do. 25 cents per ton,
limestone six cents per ton ; or two dollars and
six cents per ton of railway iron, and all the
rest is paid to agricultural labor (say at SSO
per ten for iron,) $47.94 per ton.”
In England, the landlords profit exclusively
by the people being limited as much as possi
ble to the soil of England for their food and
for employment j in the United States, the
capitalists, the iron masters, and quarry own
ers, benefit exclusively by the laboring in the
mines and at furnaces ; and these two classes
in their respective countries get up similar de
mands for the protection of native industry.
In the United States, the demand appears at
once in the naked deformity of unscrupulous
avarice, because the laborers to be benefitted
are rarely natives, but English, Scotch and
Irish. The patriotism of the new citizens is
the more effectually appealed to.becau.se they
are well acquainted with the wages cf labor
here, and they are adjured to stand up for re- j
striction, lest wages “should be reduced to the I
English or European (here it is theTtussian j
black bread) standard.” Such an ugly rellec- j
tion of 2>rote. tionist doctrines on the other !
side of the w ter, is calculated to make the j
gentlemen of lingland ashamed of their own !
appearance. Under the guise of patriotism, j
the mines and the quarries of Pennsylvania \
are to be worked by European laborers, or j
Americans r< luced pretty nearly to their le- I
vel, to enrich heir owners or renters, and the
rest of the c mmunity is to be injured by a |
tax and a restriction, raising the price of iron j
mils ii on imple/n nts, and tools of all kinds.
’■•o'- n bit u' amus'd to tin,| legislation 1
mu rev directed to put a stop to the !
enip oycent of so many Englishmen, just as
protectionist legislation here is directed to put
a stop to the employment of so many Ger
mans, Belgians, and Russians. Employment
is desiderated by all, yet all would legislate
mutually to destroy it. A war of tariffs to put
a stop to employment seems a greater madness
than a war for plunder or conquests. That
the United States and England have striven
together, and striven to a great extent in eon- j
sequence of their mutual traffic, is perfectly 1
certain ; and the the legislation that would j
injure the one, must, in its rebound, injure the <
other.
The protectionists across the water entirely !
overlook the number of American shins and I
seamen who are employed to import the iron !
and export the corn that pays for it; an l they
would check the growth of that essential arm
of national greatnessthey entirely overlook
the number of American citizens employed to
build, repair, and lit out these ships and clothe !
and feed their crews, the number of mer- ;
chants, their clerks and porters, whom this i
exportation and importation employ, the cari. [
Tiers, whether land or Water, who
the iron frony?the seaport id the interior, an®
the corn from the interior to the seaport; the ™
overlook the additional quantity of employ
ment of all kinds wh : cli results from every
saving of capital, by substituting a cheap for a '
dear implement, equally serviceable ; and they j
confine themselves exclusively to their own f
iron and coal, and unblushingly assert that the
United States lose as much employment and j
profit as they suppose they themselves lose, j
If the doctrines of these gentlemen and other !
protectionist be good for iron, it must be good j
for cloth and for everything that by any possi- j
bility can be grown or made in any country ; j
and it is as good against the whole foreign
trade of every nation in the world, as against
the foreign trade of America in iron and the j
foreign trade of England in corn.
No trade is ever engaged in, and certainly !
is never continued, except it be advantageous
to the merchants and others who engage in it. j
There is no law to compel or encourage men !
to engage in the iron trade of America or the I
corn trade of England ; if there be, let it be j
mentioned and abolished; and it is surelv a I
monstrous injustice, a gross violation of public j
liberty; an outrage against the property of
all the merchants and others who carry on j
foreign trade, to impede it or put a stop to it !
for the sake of selfish landowners in one coun- '■
try, and selfish mine and colliery owners in
another. These gentlemen arc continually led
into errors, and gloze over the most heartless
selfishness by substituting in their arguments
the name of the country or the community for
their own desires. All trade, all industry, all
production, is carried on by individuals for
their own advantage ; it is altogether indivi
dual, not national; and it is a sheer piece of
delusion, whether it he practised in England
or the U. States, to pretend that the nation is
to be benefitted by putting a stop to the indus
try of the merchants in order to extend the
industry of the agriculturist or the iron mas
ter. The more there is produced the more
there will he for all; and it is the business of
every legislator to remove any and everv legis
lative restriction as soon as possible from every
species of honest industry. The high duties
of the United States tariff, and the prohibition
and high duties of the English tariff, were so
many prohibitions and restrictions on the hon
est industry of the merchant, the shipowner,
and all connected with them, and were tanta
mount to the amputation of so much national
wealth and national industry.
New York, April 24,1849.
The Peach Tree.— At the meeting of the
Farmer’s Club of the American Institute to
day, Mr. Pell, one of the most intelligent and
sueeessful of our scientific farmers, besides rea
ding an able essay on the general economy of
the farm, and its management with regard to
stock, manures, &c., stated the results of his
experience in the culture of the peach tree.
Contrary to the more common usage, his prac
tice was to apply the pruning knife very freely
to his peach trees. He gave them rich soils,
and stimulated their growth, but at the same
time kept them down by very close pruning
or as he termed it, “excessive pruning.” This
practice, he believed, increased the quantity of
fruit, pre-erven he health of the true, and pro
lonie It I; o, >vhil t others, who suffered
their t.r.ec- to no v without pruning, were los
ing them at five, Six, or seven years old. His
advice was to prune the peach tree freelj - . He
thoug . t there was no clanger of pruning it
too much.
Ur. Underhill also quite a scientific farmer,
■who has done much to improve the culture of
the grape and other fruits, then stated his ex
perience and theory with regard to the peach
tree. He believes the great trouble with that
tree arises from its too rapid growth; and that
this is the cause of disease and premature death
so common and so discouraging in its cultiva
tion. It is a tree, which in a nourishing soil,
grows with great rapidity. It is sometimes
pushed up from the seed six feet in height and
three or four inches in circumference in a sin
gle season. But the stem thus produced con
tained but very little carbon or woody fibre.
It was a tissue of sap vessels enormously dis
tended; and the great bulk of its contents was
actually nothing but water and sap. When
winter came on, this tender shoot was of course
ill-.prepared to withstand its rigor. Its abun
dant juices would freeze like an icicle.—The
textures and fibres of the tree would be un
duly strained and disorganized. Its vessels
and aqueducts in future were out of order and
could not perform their proper functions. They
became leaky or full of obstructions. Perhaps
the tree might come to bearing for a year or
two, hut “the young disease, which must sub
due at length, grows with its growth, and
strengthens with its strength.” The tree soon
begins to sicken with the “yellows,” or some*
other trouble, and droops and prematurely
To prevent such disaster, he believed it
necessary to give the tree more time to grow;
and instead of stimulating the growth the en
deavor should be to make it grow more slowly.
With thi^gi ew of the matler he had com .
Taqpoed six or seven years ago
u pon the peach tree, raising them from the
Peed in the poorest and thinnest soil, and giv
ing them no extra nourishment. The result
so far had been as he expected. They had
grown steadily,but very slowly; and they were
almost as solid and hard as hickory. They had
never yet shown any symptoms of disease, and
did not appear to suffer from the cold or win
ter. It would require quite a number of years
yet, to give the experiment a full and fair trial,
but so far every thing appeared to confirm his
theory. With regard to pruning he had gen
erally pruned moderately. If trees were grow
ing rapidly he believed the system of pruning
proposed by Mr. Pell would be useful, as it
would knock the tree on the head, as it were,
and in some degree check its growth.
In confirmation of the theory advanced by
Mr. Underwood, Judge Van Wyck stated that
he had seen peach trees in Virginia fifteen or
twenty years ago, which he was told, were a
hundred years old; and they were then in a
bearing state, but they were growing on a very
poor and thin soil.
Judge Meigs read a Translation which he
had made from the Paris Horticultural Re
view, on the subject of general grafting of
fruits, which stated that experiment has shown
that fruits were improved by second and third
engraftings, that is engrafting on a graft.
Nautical Romance. —The following roman
tic story of real life is copied by a Northern
paper from the Bombay Telegraph and Cou
rier. The heroine of the affair truly exhibi
ted unusual qualities of mind. The Telegraph
says:
The Rainbow, from Southampton to Aden,
arrived there about 16th ultimo. Captaiu
Arnold, her late commander, died ten days be
fore the ship reached that port, and the chief
mate was so hibituated to drunkeness, that
he had been confined to his cabin several times
during the passage. The captain’s daughter,
about sixteen years of age, was on board, and
after her father’s death, the second mate, who
had assumed the command, made a daring
and insidious attempt to entice the young
lady and run away with the ship. She indig
nantly and successfully repelled all his base
and dastardly attempts, and although suffer
ing under a painful bereavement, at once
rushed on the quarter deck and made a pub
lie appeal to the ship’s crew, as British sea
men, and threw herself on their protection.—
This well judged resolution had the desired
effect; the seamen (except two of their num
ber, who were led away by the second mate)
declared, with that manly feeling which sai
lors so often display, that they would to a
man protect her from all harm, and tol l the
second mate and their misguided ship mates
in very plain terms, that if he (the second
mate) gave the slightest molestation to their
late commander’s daughter, they would pitch
him overboard, and any one else who dared
to follow his example should share the same
fate.
Miss Arnold then, with great presence of
mind, begged the ship’s company would grant
her one especial favor. Her character, her
manners, and the well-timed appeal which
she had already made, induced the crew to
declare their assent to any thing she might
ask. Miss Arnold them said that the safety of
the ship and her own security from insult
could only be insured by throwing overboard
that instant every drop of spirits in the ship.
Without hesitation the seamen consented, and,
leaving no time for reflection, they forwith got
the splits on deck and threw every drop
overboard. From that time Miss Arnold had
her screened cot secured near the wheel, and
slept alongside the binnacle, and three of the
crew kept a faithful watch around her during
the remainder of the voyage; and these faith
ful gardians of our beloved country women
never failed to evince the utmost respect, and
preserved the m st rigid docorum, honorable
in every point of view to themselves and to
that charge which they had pledged them
’ selves to undertake.
Miss Arnold wrote a statement of all these
occurrences, and forwarded it to Capt. Haines,
on the ship’s arrival, when the second mate
and dissatisfied men were immediately arres
ted and'sent to prison. The chief officer had
indulged himself to such an excess, that after
the captain’s death, and in the absence of all
means of resort to his favorite stimulent, he
was perfect useless.
Miss Arnold became the welcome guest of
Capt. Thomas at Aden, and every possible at
tention was shown to this noble-minded lady
by the whole society there.
Subsequently to Miss Arnold’s chargc’against
tlie second mate, Capt. Haines applied to her
for a circumstantial statement of what occur
red on hoard the Rainbow after her farther’s
death. The lady complied with his request
immediately, and her narrative was so well
and ably written that it excited admiration on
all sides. At her solicitation, her father’s re
mains were preserved in a cask of spirits, and
were hurried at Aden the day after the ship’s
arrival. She had always kept his, accounts*.

First Meeting of Napoleon and Jose
phine.—ls it a scene at Athens ? There are
lamps of graceful oval, which give a mellow
and shaded lustre. There arc double handed
goblets, such as Socrates used to drain, when
vySng with Alcihiades. There are servants
who bear fruits and wines, to the sound of
softest music. There are lyric songs,
“ With such as these
Aspasia won sweet smiles from Pericles.”
There are beautiful women, with slender fore
heads, and tresses delicately braided round
their small heads. There are brooches, and
fibulae, the deep-bosomed funic, and the san
sal, with its becoming strings. There is the
red bonnet of Phrygia, and the grasshopper in
gold. Surely, this must be some Athenian re
vel, with its accomplished citizens and travel
led foreigners. It must be the “ at-home” of
some Hetiera, the resort of the most polished,
the most learned, the most renowned of man
kind. The symmetry, the elegance, the lux
ury of Greece are all here. The quick, rapid
manner, the ceaseless impulse, the visible sud
denness of thought, the magnetic interchange
ot feeling, these things also are not wanting.
The conversation, too, is of liberty and art, of
philosophy and the theatre. There are groups
of politicians, who, rare thing! are speaking
of the people. There are others who are dis
cussing victories over tyrants, and the heroic
devotion of republicans. But there is among
them a man tar greater than any Athens ever
saw. See him, with long hair far down, wav
ing on his shoulders, with dark eyes flashing
with genius, with features regular as those of
an Antinous, with lips compressed and dis
dainful, with a mein superb as of a God!—
But the lady who is at little intervals speak
ing laughingly to him, seems all unconscious
of his greatness or divinity. She is a sun
burnt and coquettish brunette, with large lan
guid eyes and an air of the most indolent repose.
There is something, however, of command,,
j even in her indolence. The mystics of her
| own land have foretold that she shall be a
j Queen, and she loves.to remember the prophe
cy. It might be an Egyptian, who had come
to see all the arts and wonders which had for
saken her country, to grace and embellish
Athens. Gentle reader, I have, perhaps, be
trayed you by my guesses. It is a soiree at
the Citoyennc Tallien’s, in 1794. It is the
first meeting of Napoleon Bonaparte and Jo
sephine Beauharnais.
A Doctor in California. —Letters from the
Gold Region and from points along the route
continue to appear. One from the pen of Dr.
Cory, dated at a farm near the Gold Diggings,
says that at first he charged $8 a visit to his
patients, and a very high milege if he had to
taavel and very ‘great distance. lie had
seen flour sold in the mountains as high as
$2 per pound; tea $4; sugar $4, and candles
$1 apiece. He says:
“This is the richest gold country on the
face of the globe. Gold almost looks to me
! like a worthless tov —I have seen such vast
quantities of it. A man here in the moun
tains, who has not t6n nr twenty pounds of
it. is looked upon as a poverty stricken man.
i think the gold here is quite pure; it must be
worth at the mint $lB or sl9 per ounce; the
lowest value of washed gold is SIG an ounce;
but gold here, on account of the scarcity of
coin, and the rifeness of speculation, is selling
at from $5 to $lO an ounce. If I had SIO,OOO
of coin I could convert it into $30,000 in two
months. The first month I was in the mines
myself and partner dug but $3,000 a peace,
calling each ounce only SIG, the digging then
became poor; a man had to work hard all
day for only an ounce or two, so hundreds of
people left and went to exploring, and I among
the rest. 1 spent about two months exploring
the mountains, found gold everywhere, but
wo did not stop to work, we wanted to fine
places where we could pick up without
much labor S2OO or S3OO per day, but we
were not fortunate enought to find such places;
but such places have been found and are still
to be found.
Several men got into a ravine where they
got from $15,000 to $20,000 in two or three
weeks; most beautiful gold in round and fiat
massess, weighing $1 to $2 each piece. I have
seen several pieces weighing 1, 3 and 8 pounds.
The gold in the rivers is very fine, like small
fish scales. I have never worked on a river:
I like to see the gold as I dig, and have work
ed in dry gullies and ravines. The first
month I worked, my partner and myself
hauled our dirt three miles to water, where
we washed it in a trough made of boards.—
We could wash five wagon load in a day. The
dirt of course varies much in richness; we
washed one load in which we got 54 pounds
and in other loads we would only get five or six
ounces, but it was quite common to get a
a pound in a wagon load. If we had dug and
hauled dirt the month we dug, we would
have much more gold, but we did not load our
wagon half of the time, on account of our oxen
straying, &c.; as it is, I have only cleared in
the mines about 200 ounces of gold. My ex
penses have been great; horses from SIOO to
to S2OO each, and everything else up to the
ultimatum.”
He adds that he would not leave the country
with less than SIOO,OOO, which he expects to
realize before three years. The Doctor had
slept in the open air every night for five
months.
Virginia Gold. —On Saturday, we had the
pleasure of examining some of the richest and
most beautiful specimens of gold ore we have
ever seen. They are from the mine of W. M.
Moselv and Co., the old “Booker Mine” in
Buckingham. These specimens were taken
seventy or eighty feet below the ground—the
veins thirty or forty feet thick. The com
pany work some thirty-five hands, and their
machinery (moved by steam) is simple, cost
ing about $1,500. They expect to realize
SIO,OOO this year. The gold washings pass
over a blanket to which the particles adhere.
Quicksilver is then applied to the balance.
A similar process is used at Stockton &
Heiss’s mines in Spottsylvania; but there
they employ skins with the hair uppermost,
instead of blankets. The machinery at their
mines is much more extensive costing some
$50,000 or $60,000, but they expect to clear
$40,000 this year.
With such rich treasures in our midst, and
the advantages of soil, climate, water power
offered by Virginia, why should any of our
citizens leave for California or any other por
tion of the globe ? We have every thing to
make us a great State, if we seize and embrace
our opportunities. —Richmond Enquirer.
National Council op the Roman Catho
lic Chuiich. —The Council of the Bishops of
the Roman Catholic Church, which com
menced its session in Baltimore on Sunday
last, is the first National Council of the Church
ever held in the United States. The Councils
held heretofore have been merely Provincial,
there being but one Archbishopric, that of
Baltimore, in the country. There are three
Archbishoprics now, (one in Baltimore, one in
St. Louis, and one in Oregon,) and each will
hereafter hold a triennial Provincial Council,
composed of all the Suffragan Bishops within
his jurisdiction. The Archbishop of Balti
more presides over the deliberations of the
Council. The Archbishop of Oregon will not
be in attendance; but the Archbishop of St.
Louis will be present. There will be in all 25
Prelates in the Council, each of whom will be
accompanied by his Theologian, selected from
the clergy of his diocese.
Among the important business which will oc
cupy its attention will be the fixing of the lim
its of the Archbishoprics already established,
but which as yet have no separate organiza
tion. There were to be three public sessions
of the Council—the first on Sunday, 6th Mav,
which the Archbishop of Baltimore was to
open with High Mass, and the Archbishop of
St. Louis was to deliver a sermon. The second
on Thursday, the 10th inst., at 9 A. M., when
a solemn High Mass will be offered for deceas
ed Bishops, and a sermon will be preached by
the Right Rev. Bishop Purcell, of Cincinnati.
The third and last public session will be held
on the following Sunday, 13th inst., when
High Mass will be again celebrated, and a ser
mon preached by the Right Rev. Bishop
Hughes, of New York.
Military Resources of Turkey. —The de
signs of Russia on Turkey have not escaped
the notice of politicians, on the Continent, and
various speculations on the subject have been
made touching the rcadines and the ability of
the Ottoman Porte to make an effectual resis
tance. Though the odds are in favor of Russia
owing to the vast resources and prodigious
population at the disposal of the Czar, still
Turkey is by no means so helpless as is gen
erally supposed, and would not yield without
a protracted and bloody conflict.
Besides the Intervention (armed or pacific)
of Engl and and France, both of whom could
not consistently stand by and allow Russia so
greatly to increase its already gigantic power
by the absorption of the Turkish Empire, the
country itself is not entirely devoid of means
of protection.
The London Times, in a late article upon
the Russian question, says that although it
does not eptertain a very lofty opinion of the
military resources of Turkey, it would be an
error to estimate them no higher than they
were during the campaigns ot 1828 and 1829.
“At that pqriod, says the Times, “the fleet
of the .Sultan had just been destroyed at Na
varino, and Admiral Greigh was completely
master of the Black Sea. The reforms of the
Turkish army were in their infancy, and Egypt
contributed little to the defence of the empire.
At the present time the Turkish arsenals will
send out forty ships, of which eight or ten are
three-deckers; the army now in preparation
to three hundred thousand men, of which about
half are irregular, who are already on their
way from the Asiatic Pachalic to Constantino
ple; the revenue of the Ottoman empire has
prodigiously increased since the abolition of
monopolies in 18.26; and there is every reasoA
>... oeiievi! that Abbas Pacha, now hereditary’
ruler of Egypt, who has just received his in
vesture at Constantinople, would place the
whole naval and military force of that depen
dency' at the disposal of the Porte, his suzerain.
Such a force, animated by religious fanaticism
in the defence of the cities and provinces which
they have occupied four hundred years, is not
to be despised, even by the great military
Power of Europe; and we still infer that the
Emperor Nicholas will not push this contest
to extremities.
The Times thinks that the real advantage of
the Russian party, at this moment, lies in the
“division of the European powers, and especial
ly in the want of confidence between the two
most pacific of them, Austria and Great Bri
tain.’ ’ — Savrnnali Republican.
Advertising. —The art of advertising, is
the same to a tradesman as the art of dressing
is to beauty. The great secret with both is to
expose enough to excite curiosity, and to con
ceal enough to leave curiosity ungratified.
Nothing increases the business of a town so
much as advertising. People look to the
advertising columns of papers to see the im
portance of places where published, and if
they find their columns destitute of advertise
ments, they c'ome to the conclusion that the
country is also destitute of business, and not
of much importance. Then, Physicians, Mer
chants, Hotel Keepers, Mechanics, etc., should
advertise, not for the especial benefit of those
engaged in publishing a newspaper but for the
benefit of all. Advertise that the importance
of our town may go abroad, in a proper light,
and not present the appearance of being de
prived of all kinds of business. It will cause
hundreds to visit them, and greatly increase
the importance and business. You will lose
nothing by the adventure.- See what colossal
fortunes some have acquired by advertising.—
Dr. Jayne, this year, has published for gratu
itous distribution, and at an expense of more
than one hundred thousand dollars, two or
three million copies of an Almanac for 1849,
containing advertisements of his patent medi
cines, and also furnishes the distributers of
this Almanac, advertisements to suit their
respective business. Ah, you say he can
afford to do it. Why so ? Because adverti
sing has made him able, and will make all able
who practice it. Yet we will not expend a few
dollars for the promotion of our own interest,
our neighbors and our country.— Expositor.
Frost — lnjury to the Crops. —Last week,
as we went to press, all nature around us was
j smiling—the corn had shown a fine promise
; as the husbandman could have desired, and
the cotton had come beautifully out of the
I earth and taken such a stand as might well
have filled up the anticipations of a fine crop
in the mind of the planter. Clear skies and
| genial sunshine nourished the plants and
j beautified the prospect. We felt, for the time,
as if realizing in our own feelings that Spring
was indeed the magic season.
On Sunday night, alas ! “ A change came
: o’er the spirit of” our delightful revellings of
fancy and anticipation. A severe frost visited
us and covered many of our cotton and corn
fields with the evidences of its desolating pow
er— w bile there are few fields of cotton, either
in Louisiana or Mississippi, within many miles
of us, in which severe injury has not been
done. The disappointment of the planting
community, whose hopes had been so strong
ly enkindled, was intense; and the disap
pointment is not mitigated seeing that we
have had but little else than cold winds and
and freezing weather since the untoward visit
ation of Sunday night.
Cotton seed has been in much demand this
week, and the plough-share is again busy in
the fields. The late cotton which had not
come np at the time of the frost is now fur
thest advanced. This frost has given new
force to arguments against early planting.

Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler. —We clip the
following bit of gossip from the New York
sundag Morning News :
We have read a great deal about the eccen
tricity of Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler, and we
have lately had proof of her decided eccentri
city. She is now boarding at the Battery
Hotel, entirely unattended, excepting by a
very nice lady’s maid, and we have met her
several mornings, taking her equestrian exer
cises quite alone. Her favorite ride appeared
to be through West street, directly on the
North river, and a more dirty and disagreea
ble thoroughfare can scarcely be found, even
in this nasty city. A few mornings since, she
strolled down among the boatmen at pier No.
1, North river, dressed in a close straw bonnet,
a white dress, and a check josey, (something
between a sack and a jacket,) and although it
was a cold, bleak, windy morning, we saw
her embarked and rowed out in the stream by
one waterman. Wo understood afterwards,
that, attracted by the painful scene of a ship
load of emigrants, she went on board, and
divided all the money she had with her among
the poorest and most distressed of the families.

Connecticut.—Gov. Trumbull, of Connecti
cut, delivered his inaugural message,on Thurs
day afteroon. Among other topics which he
touched upon, is the question of the extension
of slavery into the new Territories. He says
it becomes New Englanders to approach this
delicate subject in the spirit of forbearance and
regret, rather than that of animosity ot com
plaint, ever keeping it in mind, that though
their ancestors were among the first to discov
er, and apply the remedy for slavery, they were
also among the most active in its introduction
into our country.
The Governor commends to public care the
interests of the State military, and suggests for
consideration whether some facilities may not
be granted to its officers in the organizatian oi
that military science and practical skill, indis
pensable in modern warfare. The interests of
education and the various institutions of learn
ing are also alluded to.
Ihe capital of the school fund is equal to
$'2,077,641 19—and the sum divided during
the year among the school districts, is $133,-
366 50—and the number oi children between
the ages ot four and sixteen, attending the
schools, is 88,911.
The balance of money in the State Treas
ury on the Ist of April, 1849—including $14,-
000 borrowed within the vear from the School
fund was $20,241 96. The whole amount of
indebtedness from the State to the Vjchood
Fund, for money borrowed at various times, is
equal to $46,21l 43.—A. Y. Journal of Com

but not of the school of Botts, It. T. (Daniel,

what he says in his nflhnly and patrioic ad

“In relation to what is called the b layton
compromise bill, I think it ought to have passed.
It was an entire abstinence of legislatiorjen the
part of Congress touching the subject ojmlavery
in the territories of the United States, lit was
carrying out the principle which tl»South
contends for— let us alone.” ; The question
would have been decided by* the S|pretne
Court. The North and South aiffers.
would have been yielding. The
either way would have detracted nethiug from
the dignity of the one party or the othe\- The
contitution— "the supreme law of the land” —
would have cast its broad shield over the| ter
ritories, and swept away any Mexicaif law in
conflict with it —have protected the pjoperty of
southern as well as northern men. Byfei. pas
sage the domestic peace of the nation vould
have been restored —by its defeat we ha' (been
kept in fearful and dangerous agitation
In relation to the Wilmot Proviso, I tn op
posed to it on every ground. I regan it as
unconstitutional, unjust, oppressive, insu, ing to

but her truest sons. Jeremiah Morton.
Distressing Casualty.—We learn from a
gentleman who was present in Salisbury, at
the Regimental Review of Rowan Militia, on
Friday last, that the horse of one of the Offi
cers on parade became frightened and ran
down the street at a most furious gait, and
dashed through a porch in which were stand
ing several children, a hoof ot the horse stri
king one of them on the head, causing a dread
ful fracture of the skull, and severely crushing
the ankle bones of another. The horse con
tinued his course down the street, and finally
threw his rider upon the points of some sharp
palings, breaking several of his ribs, and other
wise seriously mangling him. Our informant
states, that when he left Salisbury on Satur
day morning, he understood the child whose
skull had received the fracture, was di;ad, and
that the Officer was considered almosi' beyond
the hope of recovery.— Ral. Reg. 1,

$250,000 more will secure the StateTs corres
ponding quota. The Company has ( accepted
the act changing their name and granting the

The Mohammedan Commandments.—There
are six commandments in the Mohammedan
religion, viz : 1. There is no deity but God.
2. There is no Prophet but Mohammed—he is
God’s Apostle. 3. To fast during llamadan
everyday. 4. To pray and practice
five times a day. 5. To ppply two and-a-half

The lead from which “ pencil
made, comes from the principal plunWi®r
mine in the world, at Barrowdale, Cumber
land, England. It is situated in a hill, and
instead of being worked constantly like other
mines, is opened only once a year, when a
sufficient quantity is taken out to supply the
world for a year to come when it is closed with
strong doors, bars and locks until the next
annual supply is required. From the time of
Queen Elizabeth it is said that all the fine
pencils in the world have been made of the
black lead of this mine.
The Editor of the National Intelligencer,
having charged Mr. Polk’s administration with
proscription, a writer in the Union thus retorts
upon them: —“With how much justice they
can charge the late administration with pros
cription, may be inferred from the fact that
Columbus Monroe, a Whig, and son-in-law to
Mr. Seaton, one of the editors, was permitted
to hold one of the best clerkships under the
government during the whole of Mr. Polks’s
term; and that a Mr. Schrededer, another son
in-law of Mr. Seaton, was appointed to an of
fice in the coast survey within the last two
years.”

Inquirer says :
“ I understand to-aay that Mr. Henry Wy

in the Pekin Tea Company, has recently suc
ceeded in making a contract with the present
Government of France, to supply the army of
that country with all such India Rubber arti
cles as they may require, including horse co
vers, cartridge boxes, pontoons, overcoats, and
other things. Under this contract, it is ex
pected that Mr. Wykoff will make a very hand
some sum. Mr. Wykoff has been for anum

in his confidence when he was prisoner in Ham
under the orders of Louis Philippe.”
Mr. Clay.—lt is said that at therecent Clay
Dinner in New York, the following extracts
from two of General Taylor’s letters were read
amid undisguised indignation in his letter to
Joseph R. Ingersoll, dated August 3d, 1847,
he says: “Would now prefer seeing him
(Ilenrv Clay) in the office of Presi<;nt than
any individual in the Union; certaiAly much
more so, at any time, than myself!” ]

The editor of the Arena, published at Kil
lington, Conn, complains that it is hard work
to edit a country paper, on a lack
of local news and incidents. He says he ex
pected to have an orignal marriage and death
for the last paper; but the sudden thaw kicked
the wedding into the middle of ne:it week,
andXhe doctor got sick himself and could not
visit his patient, so the patient got well —and
thus the announcements were lost.

VALUABLE PROPERTY FOR SALE
HAVING determined to remove West, I now
offer for sale the following property, situ
ated in Bairdstown, Oglethorpe county, immedi
ately on the Rail Road, viz : Three or four new
and comfortable Dwellings. A large two story
Store House, finished oil in superior style, and
; having every convenience for a large stock of
Goods. Also, my Carriage Manufactory, consist
ing of large and commodious Shops, for fifteen cr
twenty hands, Lumber Sheds, Repository, Ac. Ac.,
all newly built, and in point of convenience can
not be surpassed ; having a horse power Lath,
Saw Mill, Ac. attached, with every other tool
necessary for the business, and a large lot of sea
soned Timber, Hnbbs, Spokes, Ac., Ac. Con
nected with this is two hundred and fifty acres of
land, on which is a new framed Gin House, Gin
and Running Gear. Having heretofore felt settled
for life, I have spared neither money nor pains in
improving the place, and now consider it the most
desirable spot in this section of country. The
neighborhood is thickly settled, and for intelli
gence and respectability will compare with any
community; perfectly healthy, and a good school
in the place. Persons wishing to engage in the
Mercantile business have now an opportunity,
which is rarely offered, as this is decidedly the
best stand in Middle Georgia, as a reference to the
Books will prove that any reasonable quantity of
Goods can be sold. The Shops arc now well pat
ronized, and three or four thousand dollars in or.

OLD
Jacob Townsend,
THE ORIGINAL BIBS DISCOVERER
OF THE GENUINE
TOWNSEND SARSAPARILLA.
Old Dr. Townsend is now about 70 years of age. and has long been
I AUTHOR and DISCOVERER of the GENUINE
ORIGINAL “ rOWN.-ENI) SARSAPARILLA.” Being poor, he
was compelled lo limit its manufacture, by which means It has been
kept oat of market, and the sales rircuinecribed to those or.ly who had
proved its worth and known its value. It Imd reached the ears of ma
ny, nevertheless ns those persons who had been healed of sore die-
HE AI *1 NgVoWER* This I>roclrtin,et * itH excellence and wonderful
C*rand and Unequalled Preparation
is manufactured on the largest scale, and is called for throughout the
length and breadth of the land. n
Unlike young 8. P. Townsend’s, It improves with nee, and never
changes, but for the better ; because it is prepared on scientific prin
ciple* hy a scientific man. The highest knowledge of Chemistry, nml
he latest discoveries ot the Art, have all been brought into requisition
m the manufacture of the OLD DR.’S SARSAPARILLA. The .Sar
saparilla root, it is well known to medicnl men, contains medicinal pro
pmies, and Home property which nrc Wert or iiseleia ; »nd other a,
W PI C M '-cwineii m preparing it for u«o, produce fermentollon and ackl,
winch is injurious to the system. Some of the properties of Sanup.rilla
are •» volatile that they entirely evaporate and are lost in the prepara
tion, if they are not preserved by a scientific process, known only to
thone experienced 111 Us manufacture. Moreover these volatile priucl
ples, which fly off in vapor, or us an exhalation, under heal, are tha
very eesentlal medical properties of the rout, which gives to it all ila
I value. The
GENUINK
Old I>r. .Incob Townvcnd’i Sarsaparilla
j it so prepared, that a.< the inert properties of the Sarsaparilla root
I are first removed, everything capable of becoming n id or of fermenta
tion, is extracted and rejected ; then every particle of medical virtue
| is secured in a pure and concentrated form ; and thus it is rendered
j incapable of losing any of its valuable and healing properties. Pro*
, pared in this way, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure of Innumerable Diseases*
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on every side in its
I favor by men, women and children. We find It doing wonders Ln the
cure oi
CONSUMPTION, DYSPEPSIA, and LI'VER COMPLAINT, and
in RHEUMATISM, SCROFULA and PILES, COSTIVKNEte ai
CUTANEOUS ERUPTIONS, PIMPLES, BLOTCHES , and aU
affections arising from
Impurity of the Blood. « »
It possesses a marvellous efficacy in all complaints arising from In
digestion, from Acidity of the Stomach; from unequal circulation de
termination of blood to the head, palpitation of the heart, cold feet and
cold hands, cold chills and hot flashes over the body. It has not had
.ts equal in coughs and colds ; and promotes easy expectoration, and
gentle perspiration, relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every
I other part.
! Rut in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen and icknow
ledged than in' nil kinds and stages of
Veiiiulti Com pi ain In.
It work* wonders in cases of fluor albue or whites, Falling of the
Womb, Obstructed, Muppressen, or Painful Menses, Irregularity of
the menstrual periods, and the like ; and is effectual in curing uil farms
of the Kidney Disease.
By removing obstructions, aud regulating the general system, it gives
tone and -’irtingth to tne whole body, amt cure* nil form* of
Nervous Diseuaea and Debility*
and tliufprevents or relieves a great variety of other diseases, a* Spinal
Irritation, Neuralgiu, St. Vitus Dance, Swooning, Epileptic Pits, Con
vulsions, Ac.
It is not possible for this mediciut to fad to do good ; it has nothing
In it which can ever harm ; it can never sour or spoil, and therefore
can never lose its curative projierties. It cleanses the blood, excites
the liver to healthy action, tone* the stomach and gives good digestion,
relieves the bowels of torpor and constipation, allays inflammation,
purifies the skin, equalizes (he circulation of thebl<y>d, producing gen
tle warmth equally ail over the body, and tho insensible perspiration ;
relaxes all strictures and tightness, removes all obstructions, aud iu
vigorates the entire nervous system. Is not this, then,
The Medicine you Pre-eminently Need !
Rut can any of these things he said of 8. P. Towusend’s inferior
article 1 This young man’s liquid is not to be
Compared with the Old Dr.’s,
because of one GRAND FACT, that the one is INCAPABLE of DE
TERIORATION and
Never Spoils,
while tha other DOES; it so irs, ferments, and Mows the bottles
containing it into fragments ; the sour, acid liquid exploding and
damaging other goods ! Must not this hori ibis compound be poisoiv
ous to the system/ What 1 put acid into a system already diseased with
acid! What causes Dyspepsia but acid? Do we not all know, that
when food sours in our stomachs, what mischief* it produces ?—flatu
lence, heartburn, palnitatiou of the heart, livt-r complaint, diarrhoea,
• dysentery, cholic and corruption of the blood ? What is Scrofula
but an acid humor iu the body ? What produces all the humors which
bring on Eruptions of the Skin, Scald llrad, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas,
White Swellings, Fever-Sores, and all ulcerations internal and exter
nal? It is nothing under heaven but an acid substance, which sours,
and thus spoils all the fluids of the body, more or less. What causes
I Rheumatism but a sour acid fluid, which insinuates itself between the
I Joints and elsewhere, Irritating and inflaming the tender aud dt-licale
i tissues upon which it rcim ? So of nervous diseases, of impurity of
i the blood, of deranged circulations, aud ueurly all the ailments which
| afflict human nature.
Now, is it not horrible to make aud sell, and infinitely worse to use
this
NourinK, Fermenting, Acid “ Compound”
OF S. P. TOWNSEND.
and vet he would fain hnve it understood that OKI Jacob Townsend’s
GENUINE ORIGINAL SARSAPARILLA, is an IMITATION of
i his infe nor preparation ! I
Heaven forbid that we should deal in an article which would bear
the most distant resemblance to S. P. Townsend’s article ! and which
should bringdown upon the Old Dr. such a mountain load of com
plaints and crimin&tious from agents who have sold, and purchasers
who have used S. P. Townsend's FERMENPING COMPOUND !
We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth, thatS. P.
Townsend’s article and Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsapatilla are
heaven-wide apart, and infinitely dissimilar; that they are unlike iu
every particular, having not one single thing in cotnmou.
As S. P. Townsend is no doctor, and never was, is uo chemist, no phar
maceutist—knows no more of medicine or disease, than any other
common, uuscientific, unprofessional man, what guarantee can the
public have that they are receiving a genuine scientific medicine con
taining all the virtu net of t{ic articles used in preparing it, aud which
are incapable of changes, which might render them the AGENTS of
DISEASE instead of health ?
It is to arrest frauds upon the unfortunate, to pour balm hits
wounded humanity, to kindle hope in tho despairing bosom, to restore
health and bloom and vigor into the crushed and broken and to bauish
infirmity—that old DR. JACOB TOWNSEND has SOUGHT and
FOUND the opportunity and means to bring his
Grand Universal Concentrated Remedy*
within the reach, and to the knowledge of all who used it, that they
may learuand know, by Joyful experience, ila
Transcendent Power to Heal!
and thus to have the unpurchasable satisfaction of having raised tlion
sand* and millions from the bed of sickness and despondency, to hope,
health, and a long life of vigor and usefulness to themselves, their fam
lliee and friends.

For tlie Removal and Permanent Cure
all
NERVOUS DISEASES,
And of those Complaints which are caused by an
impaired, weakened or unhealthy condition of the
NERVOUS SYSTEM.
This beautiful and convenient application of the
mysterious powers of Galvan l sm and Magnetism,
has been pronounced by distinguished physicians,
both in Europe and the United States, to be the
most valuable mediscinal discovery of the Age.
Ml. CHRISTIE’S GALVANIC KELT,
ANU
MAGNETIC FLUID,
Is used with the most perfect and certain success
in all cases of
GENERAL DEBILITY,
Strengthening the weakened body, giving tone to
ihe various organs, and invigorating the entire sys
tem. Also in
Fits, Cramp , Paralysis arid Palsy, Dyspepsit or In
digestion, Rheumatism, Acute and Chronic.
Gout, Epilepsie, Lumbago, Deafness, Ner
vous Tremors, Palpitation oj the Heart,
Apoplexy, Neuralgia, Pains in the
Side and Chest,
LIVER COMPLAINT,
Spinal Complaint, and Curvature of the Spine, llip
Deficiency
of
Nervous Diseases,
which complaints arise from one simple cause, viz :
A nrrangeiiient of tbe Nervous Nystrni.
In Nervous Complaints, Drugs and Medicines in
crease the disease, for they weaken the vital ener
gies of the already prostrated system ; while un
der the strengthening, life-giving, vitalizing influ
ence of Galvanism, as applied by this beautiful
and wonderful discovery, the exhausted patient
and weakened sufferer isrestored tiVformcr health,
strength, elasticity and vigor.
The great peculiarity and excellence of
fcOr. Cl. rislie’s Galvanic Curative*,
Consists, in the fact that they arrest and cure dis
ease by outward application, in place of the usual
mode of drugging and physicing the patient, till
exhausted Nature s : nks hopelessly under the in
fliction.
They strengthen the whole system, equalize the
circulation of the blood, promote the secretions,
and never do the slightest injury tinder any' cir
cumstances. Since their introduction in the Uni
ted States, only three years since, more than
60,W00 PERSONS
including all ages, classes and conditions, among
which were a large number of ladies, who are pe
culiarly s.ibject to Nervous Complaints, have been
Entirely untl Pet'inniieiidy Cured,
when all hope of relief had been given lip, atid
every thing else been tried in vain !
To illustrate the use of the GALVANIC BELT,
suppose the case of a person afflicted with that
bane of civilization, DY'SPEPSIA, or any other
Chronic or Nervous disorder. In ordinary cases,
stimulants are taken, which, by their action on
tile nerves and muscles of ihe stomach, afford tem
porary relief, but which leave the patient in a
lower state, and with injured faculties ; alter the
action thus excited has ceased. Now compare
tnis with the effect resulting from the application
of the Galvanic Beit. Take a Dyspeptic sufferer,
even in tiie worse symptoms of an attack, and sim
ply tie the Belt around the body, using the Mag
netic Fluid as directed. In a short period the in
sensible perspiration will act on the positive ele
ment of the Belt, thereby causing a Galvanic cir
culation which will pass'on to the negative, and
thence back again to the positive, thus keeping up
a continuous Galvanic circulation throughout the
system. Thus the most severe cases oj Dyspepsia
arc permanently cured. A few days is often am
ply sufficient to eradicate the disease ol years.

Dr. A. 11. Cluistie, New York:
My Dear Sir :—1 have suffered for about 12
years with a distressing Nervous Affection ot the
Head, which some times extended down my Spine.
This complaint gradually effected my whole Ner
vous System, and often entirely incapaciatcd me
from business. My suffering iias at Fmes been
truly lamentable, having always abhored the
Quackeries and Humbugs of the age, 1 was pi e
niudicinos hut those pre
r scribed bv the ‘‘Augusta Faculty,’"'many m nai.wn
j were of a violent and dangerous character. Find
ing my disease, however, to he daily increasing in
severity. I was induced to procure your GALA AN
IC BELT and MAGNETIC FLUID, and almost
immediately after the application, the dreadful
disease to which I bad been so long a Martyr, J N
tikely left me, and I remain to this day quite
well. The efficacy of your Galvanic inventions is
truly marvellous, and in my case their application
has been apparently magical.

FROM MR. W3I. B WILEY,
OF THE CHARLESTON HOTEL.
Charleston, S. C., April 10, 1010.
To Dr. Christie , New Yerii :
Respected Sir : —Sympathy for the suffering,
and the deepest gratitude towards you, induces me
to send you the (allowing account of my late
lamentable condition, and the great relief which 1
have experienced from your Galvanic articles.—•
For the past lour years f have been afflicted with
the most dreadful attacks of Rheumatism. My
whole body has been affected, arms, limbs, head,
cites , back, and indeed every part of my system.
I have experienced more actual suffering than I
supposed any human being could endure. At one
time the joint of my right leg was swollen to about
three times its natuial size and the rest ot the
limb was shrivelled up. This was the case when
1 commenced using your GAIA ANIC Iff.Ll for
the body and the GAL\ ANIC BRACELE 1 S tor
the limbs. 1 had had so many of the best physi
cians in Charleston and elsewhere and had tried so
many “ remedies,” and all with so little relict, that
1 had song long since began to despair. I had
been to the Warm Springs, the Sulphur Springs,
and I travelled, read, and studied about my afflic
tion, but with no avail. Judge then ol my joy and
gratitude when the truth dawned upon me that l
had at last discovered a remedy! 1 should here
state that the repeated attacks of severe pain ren
dered me as feeble as a child and quite helpless.
It entirely incapacitated me from business, and
prostrated ami deranged my u-liole nervous system. —
But in less than one week after the application of
) our Galvanic articles mentioned above. 1 felt like
another person. The pain had greatly decreased
and appeared to diminish daily. A long continua
ion of wet weather came, and 1 expected a return
of my old complaints—but no; I continued to im
prove, using nothing but the Galvanic Belt and
Bracelets, with the Magnetic b tuid as directed..
It is now over one year since, ami at this moment
of writing, 1 believe 1 am as healthy and as happy
a man as there is in Charleston. All my pains are
gone; my strength has returned, and my appear
ance lias so altered that my triends who formerly
thought 1 was dying, hardly know me. In a word,
I am a living miracle of the wonders of Galvanism,
as applied by your beautiful invention.
Very respectfully your friend,
' ' WM. B. WILEY,
Charleston Hotel.
P. S.—l may add, that there are hundreds of f s
persons in South Carolina and Georgia, who have ,
