ixr On the first ot July, 1*47. Indiana takes her
proper rank among the interest-paying States.
try* The New York Repress snvs truly, “ Civilians
and politicians are taught both hv Gen. Scott and Tny
lnr never to involve their country in wars to make them

ftt* The TiOuisville Democrat speaks of Gen Taylor
as “made by the Democratic party.” To which Pren

I ever turned out such a piece of workmanship as Gen
Tayior Old R nigh and Ready is not the work of the :
Locofoco party, hut the ‘noblest work of God.’ ”
D3f* According to that strict constructionist, George ;
M. Dallas, Locofoco Vice President of the United
States, onr Government has no constitutional pow’er to i
improve onr harbors or rivers, hut it has ample power j

ft'y The cost of the new steamer, Washington, built
!by private contract, was #250.000: that of the Missis

most successful ns yet of the experiments by the Gov
ernment in steamers, was #520.000; that of the Mis
souri. huih at the New York Navy Yard, and burnt at
Gihralter, was #SSO,(XX). The tonnage of these vessels
is about the same.
07*“ The more the Locofocos get “scared” about the
present si<ms of the times, and their in 1848,
the more they turn in to call in or the Whigs hard names.

Brief and Beautiful Sermon.
rhe editor of the Home Journal says—We read the
following, years ago, and in our much-thumbed copy of
I of old Herbert, and it has been buried long enough ill
j our memory to come up again:
Sundays observe ; think, when the bells do chime,
’Tis angel’s music, therefore come not late.
God there deals blessings; if a king did ho,
Who would not haste, nay, give, to see the show?
In time of service, seal up both thine eyes,
And sc ml them to thy heart, that, spying sin,
Th'*y may weep nut the stains thy sin did rise ;
Those doors being shut, all by the cars comes in.
Let vain and busy thoughts have there no part,
Christ purged His temple,so must thou thy heart .
He that loves God’s abode, and to combine
With saints on earth, shall one day with them shine.
Telegraphic*
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser thus describes
an improvement on the telegraphic register, invented
by Francis S. Pease, of that, city:
“ Without attempting a precise description of the.
machine, we will briefly indicate some o£ its peculiari
ties and merits. Its small, compact form first attracts
attention, the machine that we saw occupying a space
of about eighteen inches in length, six inches in breadth,
and some ten inches in height. In front is the Dial
Register, upon the periphery of which, like the figures
on the dial of a clock, are ranged the alphabet in hold,
distinct characters, nnd the ten numerals and dots. Up
on the face of this dial moves a hand connected with nn
escapement. This is used for reporting by sight. The
operator moves a hand on a corresponding dial, and
all the reporters at the other end of the line lnve to do
is, to write down the letters as indicate 1-y the hand
on the dial there. The rapid'ty with which this can b e
done, far transcends any reporting by the dots and lines
of Morse’B machine, besides its power of accommoda
ting fifty or more reporters at the same time. This part
of the apparatus can be used alone, or be instantly con
! nected with the Typo ami Printing apparatus, when it
! desired to obtain the report in an enduring form,* or
it can be closed when private communications are trans
j nutted.
“The printing apparatus is so constructed as to print
1 with a clear, legible impression, two or twenty or more
j copies at the same time, upon both sides of the paper,
! which renders a misprint impossible. The type ink thorn
selves nnd also distribute the ink. and after making an
impression, clean themselves, and ore again ready for
use. The copies of reports can he printed black upon
one side anil red upon the other. There is a repeater,
by which any letter, &c., can be repeated or reprinted
in a moment without the dial hand moving or the cir
cuit being hroken. Another singular and important
part of the invention is the nrrangemnnt by which two
currents are made to traverse the same conductor, and
effect different ends without affecting each other.
“Instead of the common magnet. Mr Pease uses one
of his own invention, which he styles the Compound
Multiplier.
“In brief, the superiority of his Repeating Telegraph
over others may be summed up as follows:
“Ist. Inthe simple arragement of the Dial Register,
whose finger indicates letter hy letter, with unerring ac
curacy, every word. From this Dial any number ot
persons can copy for themselves. Its connection with
the printing apparatus, which prints upon both sides of
the paper, and if desired, in different colors—and any
i number of copies at die one impression.
“2d. The simple manner by which any letter, &c. t
can he repeated or reprinted, in a moment, nnd the
! manner in which the type distribute ink and clean them
selves.
“3d. The compact form of the different parts of the
machine, and as a whole, which renders it portable,
and in case of accident, its different parts easy of ac
cess ”
Strutting Extraordinary.
A correspondent of the Arkansas Intelligencer, gives
j the following amusing incidents of the battle of Buena
Vista. The conclusion will excite the risibles:
“On the 21st February the whole army fell back from
Agua Nueva to Buena Vista,except the Arkansas Cav
alry, under Col. Yell, which was detained to guard the
provisions in store till the wagons could return from
Buena Vista. In the evening Gen. Wool learned that
j Santa Anna was close to Agua Nueva—to which place
; the Ist Dragoons and Kentucky Coval-y were immedi
| atcly ordered, with directions, in conjunction with the
. Arkansas Cavalry—toroid the place till the provisions
I were removed On our arrival, at 12 o’clock at night,
| we found all the stores parked in wagons, except about
j three hundred bushels of coni. A few minutes after
’ this the Arkansas Cavalry, who were stationed a half a
I mile in front, fired on the advance of the Mexican ar
my and fell back. Col. Marshall, of the Kentucky
Cavalry, ordered the wagons to fall back on Buena Vis
ta. while we waited to set fire to the buildings contain
ing the corn and to coverthe retreat of the wagons. I
shall never f orget this retreat. The Mexican lancers in
full force were not five munites behind us when our
-squadron left Agua Nueva—the distance to Buenu Vis
ta ten miles—the road beautiful. You will understand
how we travelled when 1 inform you that our empty
wagons made the distance in thirty and our loaded
once in forty minutes Good race horse lime. * *
“About an hour before sunset on the 22d, 1, with
some two or three officers, rode on the ridge within
’ thr*e or four hundred yard* of the enemy and took a
good view of the elephant, and I tell you candidly, from
i the appearance of Santa Anna’s army, and his immense
superiority of numbers, 1 feared the result; hut still we
i had old Zach to lead us on, and our Moved w ives and
| country to fight for, and I felt confident of success
| That night the whole army slept on their arms; 1 with
boots nnd spurs ou and the rein of toy noble steed’s bri
die in hand, laid down on a few soft lobbies, intending
j to sleep, but soon strains of most melodious music from
j the enemy’s bands came floating on the evening breexe,
each note softened by distance yet distinct. I was ne
ver before so affected by music—sleep was at once ban
isbed, and visionsol home, and all those dear associa
tions of tranquil life, tilled mv mind, to lie dispelled on
ly by the thunder of anil! ry wli'ch greeted the fust
streak of morning light and foretold to all the struggle
which ensued. **•**••
“During the fight old Zach was near one of the regi- ‘
incuts of mfuntry and saw the nasu dodging th dr hend* !
i in every direction tu avoid the balls, when he said, 1
’ “Stand up to them, my men—don’t fe afraid, they will
all go over you ” While speaking, a batlcnme whizzing
’ close m his head nnd he involuntarily dodg ‘d—-continu- i
j fug hi* apaodh “but dodge them if you cm, it w not a ,
had pinll.”

; When we arrived withm about one handled yards of a
regiment of lancers, which *c turd to be the rear guard,
we were halted. M*J. Hliw was blindfolded and con- J

a plstooti of lunceis was ordered from the regiment and I
I took post facing uiy plat'Hm and within ten step* of me. j

with* ut saying a word t> me, much to my astonish

Dr. Banning’* Lectures.
We take plensure in calling attention to the adver
tisement of Dr. Banning in regard to his free Lec
tures upon Health and Physical Education.—Doctor
B. not only cornea highly recommended by the ablest
Physicians and Divines in the country but has in this
city living testimony of the great eliicacy of his Body
Brace in preventing and arresting disease. His theory
is in some sense anew one, and refers, as he informs
us, to those diseases which are seldom benefitted un
der the ordinary treatment of Physicians.-Dr. B not
only lectures gratuitously, but allows, persons to satis
fy themselves, hy actual trial, witli regard to the efli
caey of his Brace. His great object lieing to pre-vent
suffering, he does tied desire to impose his invention up
on airy one who is :.ut lolly satislied dial tie will be ben
efitted thereby. The Doctor has also with him a small
Treatise entitled “Burnings Common S rise nn Chron
ic Diseases; or a rational Treatise on the Mechanic
al cause and cure vj many Chronic affections of the
Visceral organs of both males and females” We
have not had time to examine this work, but judging
from the testimonials which Dr. B. has in his potwession
we are inclined to think his Treatise as well as his
Body Brace worthy o t consideration.
Near Prospect Hill, Va., Dec. 8, 1816
Dr. E P. Banning, &.c Ac
Dear Sir, —In reference to the efficacy of your Body
Brace, 1 will simply state my own case, from which
you and others must form your own conclusions. Ever
since the year 1814, when i received a severe gun-shot
wound by a musket ball, which still remains in the bo
dy, 1 have suffered much from what is commonly term
ed a weak back, and pam in the back, 4,c., drc , so
much so at times as to destroy all comfort, unless sup
ported by an aim chair or the like ; consequently, rid
ing on horseback, or remaining long on the feet was
productive of much pain. I had tried various Belts,
Russian and others, nil of which 1 found to lie worse
than tile disease. Finally I determined to make one
more effbrt in search of relief, and as you recollect call
ed at your office, Broadway, N. Y in the early days
of October of the present year, and had one of your Bra
ces adjusted to my body, on trial for a fete days. Suf
fice it to say, that at the end of three days I called and
pant tor the Brace, which I have worn ever since ex
cept an interval of two days after my return home,
wlmn 1 1 ud it aside with a view to ascertain how far the
rebel I bad experienced was real or imaginary
Since I have been wearing your Brace I have been
exposed to some severe and long exposure, without rest.
On one occasion 1 left my breakluM table at half past
8 o'clock, rode seven or eight miles, alighted a„d re- \
muined on my feet, walking bat little until dark ; rode ‘
back to W ashington just in time to meet an evening's en
gagement, where lwemained until II o’clock—without
sitting down at all, except when riding, from i past 8
A- 51. till 1 past 11 P M. and this without the slightest
inconvenience at die time or subsequently. wTihoui
the Body Brace 1 could not have endured half the lii
ttgue, without great inconvenience and pam at the tune
und feeling the effect, for several days ufterwarJs. Pre
viously to wearing the Body Brace, 1 was in the habitu
nl use of the Ft.cjion Biusli, which I thought of peat
service to me, A lor some years supposed 1 could not
live without it; now I have hud it aside, liuving had no
recurrence of the symptoms which induced its use since
1 wore the Brace, and I feel warranted in saying, that
not only lias my ability to endure fatigue been greatly
renovated hy Dr Banning's Bruce, but that my general I
health has also improved under its use.
W railing you a successful tour in your pilgrimage for
the. relief ol suffering Immunity. lam yours, giaicful

Griswold's Improved Cottoa Gins.
npilE subscriber vjoll continue the manufacture of
I t itis on his usu and extensive scale, and embraces
‘'PP° rt,li iity to thank his numerous customers for
th’ ir liberal patronage heretofore. The estimation in
which his Gins are held, may be known from tlie fact
of his having s->ld inure than two thousand during the
last th *e v ars—probably ten to one over any other
Factory in the State. Tl, ndence of the superiority
of his < ins, is accounted for by hi* fe-ing the first to in
troduce the late in ove.ments, and keeping the lead
by yearly adding now* ones. Hi# fiibt and second iih
j provements made the quality of cotton perfect, though
s me w.-p* rather slow. Ifls third made them sum
ciently fast. It than only remained tomaketliem more

ten times more durable than any other, by tho*e who
