|)r Kaue believe, that there is a probability of Sir
loliii Franklin’s being still alive, and buses his convic-
J. ls on ihe fact that, in the m;>st remote region yet
leoetratcd bv any explorers, there is abundance of aui
i. il life. “ The resources of that regain” he says, in
o a of his lectures, “lor the support of lite, are surpris
... dv greater than the public are generally aware.” He
i, sa; piled with provisions for three years, although he
taiaks he will not be longer away than two years at
the utmost; and he takes with him several sledges for
the purjioae ot travelling over the iee when his vessel is
t ten in and unable to pursue her voyage These
sledges are perfect cariosities, and would astonish ib<se
aho are uuaoquaiuted with the mode of travel in t ie
Arne regions. There are two kinds, one of which is
o<Mit lourteen iuche. wide, fourteen fee; long, and is
drawn bv twelve Esquimaux dogs These are used

while the other sledges, which are nine aud thirteen
fee'-long by four in breadth, wilt be employed to con
vex the members of the expedition. Besides these, he
uprovided with wicker work boats, covered with India
rubber, which renders them completely impervious to

ice ibat may impede their progress. As it is mipoeai
blo tin theta to use coal while travelling in their sledges,
ther arc furnished with an excellent substitute in the
form of alcohol, of which they have a large supply.—
They have also a forge, a considerable amount of un
wrntight iron, a large number of sabots or wuodeti
shoes, and snow shoes which they will find particularly
useful in pursuing their explorations on foot. Besides
these Dr. Kane is provided with an extensive library,
aud a complete set of scientific instruments.
About an hoar before her departure. Judge Kane and
three of his sons, Captain Levy, of the L imed .States
Navv, Colonel Licper, and Mr.” Henry Griunell, came
board, with several of the Doctor’s intimate friends.
It was 1:1 o'clock before the Union, with the members
of the New York Grand Lo ige of.Masons, came along
side, and tlieu they greeted b.m with such a cheer as
Americans only can give, aud which received a hearty
rr ,>e from those oa board the Advance. Soon after,
tbe towboat Titan, which was volunteered gratuitously
:,t the service, by her owner, armed, the anchor was
weighed, and ihe gallant craft was taken down the bay
bv her powerful assistant, followed closely by the Union,
ji would be a diliicult task to enumerate the cheers that
wore riven on both sides during the passage—in fact,
the eaihudasin of the Doctor’s triends appeared to know
bounds. When the Advance was about twenty
m.!es m*iu ihe Battery, the Union returned, after giv-
II r nine hearty cheers, and the Titan continued down
the bar about ten miles luriher Then the hawser was
utited aud the noble commander and his crew pro
ceeded oil their solitary voyage in their stout little craft,
.i:le many a Gods;>eed went with them. It was neai-
j v a quarter of an hour, however, before she got under
ii. and the Titan turned her prow toward New York,
Hu before we git out of hailidg distance, another three
ei.*ei N thrice repeated, w.is given, when the sailors ol
ro Advance ran up the rigging, and responded with
three more. Then when the voice was lost in the
kuztliening distance, a mute farewell was waved to

The Crystal Palace.
ths orr.stxo n.vv —.cuticles foe exhibition, etc.
This splendid structure will be conqdeted aud opened
to the public ou the loth of July next, according to the
announcement of the directors, which will he foutid in
another pan <} the Herald. The disappointment that
has beou teh in cossequence f the delay in its erection,
will, we have ao doubt, be considerably diminished by
a perusal of their card. So far certainly as the direc
tors are concerned, we believe they have doue every
thing iu their power to hasieu its completion, which
has Seen retarded, they say, by “the novelty and intri
cacv of construction, ane the high siandard of arcbitec-
I tural beauty, ’it has been the r object to attain.
The most diliicult portion of the building—the iron
work—is finished/and nothing at present remains to be
dos e but a part of the glazing, the rooting of the dome,
the painting of the interior and exterior, and the con
strue ioa ot a separate building, between the principal
I structure and the Reservoir, for the machinery. The
I build.ag iu its pre.-cut unfinished state, although calcu
lated to give but a f&iut idea of its beauty, has still
many attractive teatures. Viewed from the interior
the dome, which is one hundred feet in diameter,
and from the ground to the top of the lament, one
1 hundred and fifty feet, has a very grand and imposing
I appearance. The galleries will soon be eucloseu with
I treilis work railings, which are in admirable keeping
with the light and airy character of the whole building.
, In the course of a month or fire weeks the glass will
be completed, aud the building so far finished as to be
l etready for the reception of articles. At present it is
- ted daily by hundreds of persons, a Urge portion of
v lOtn ate from the country. As the Groton reservoir
famishes the best view, its massive walls are constantly
crowded with spectators from morning till evening.
besides the Palace itself, there are a large number of
supplemental curiosities iu its vicinity, in the way of
puppet shows and all kiuds of voracious animals, from
every quarter of the globe, live legged sheep, and other
monstresides. Here a sign informs you that the largest
bear ever caught is to be seen at an unprecedentedly low
ptwe in the anuals of exhibiting ; while within a short
distance of the sigh of Urea Major ia another, represen
ting a negro running from a crocodile pursuing him
wiih distended jaws, between which at least halt a doz
| eu negroes could be stowed away with the greatest
I case. In addition to these curiosities there is the Lat
tmg Observatory, dnuking saloons, cake stands, minu
f'tre shooting galleries, where all the tiring is done in
the open air, and the successful marksmen is reworded
with peunuis or ginger cakes, as the ease may be, whirl
i.r gs, swings, aud a kuudred other kinds of amusements.
AH the available space near the Palace is now occupied
tvith frame buildings and others in course of erection,
same of which are rua up evidently without the slight
est regard for the safety of their future occupants. If
P- oper caution is uot exercised iu the construction of
thase now ereetiug, we fear that some serious accident
H happen before the dose of the Exhibition.—.Vl JI

The Croton W tiler Works.
A corresjKindent of the Charleston G>uritr has the
following brief discriptioo of this immense work. Al
though ihe subject 8 not new, a t-pe u-al may still be
interesting to many readers. “ Tiie Croton aqueduct,
the greatest unquestionably of the public works of New-
Yotk, commences at a point on the Croton liner, about
six miles from the Hudson, in Wes Chester Couuty, and
about forty miles from the Ci*y Hail. The dim “across
the Croton is zV* feet in length, and 40 feet high ; Id
feet Uiick at the bot oni, aud , u- the top, and is built
of stone and cement. A pond is I bus created about o
miles long, co* ermg 4*hi acres, and estimated it coutuin
,i> 11,0. M gallons of water. I<s elevation a Imre tide
water is l.r feet. From (he gateway iu the dam, Ihe
aqueduct proceeds, sometime- cr issiiig vallevs bv eiu
baukmeiits. sometimes beneath thesnriaev,aud through
runnels in solid rocks until it reaches Harlem River,
which it c.o-ses on a magnificent stone bridge, 14">i’
leet 111 length, anil 124 feel high. This b: i Ige is sup
;>orted by 14 sione p.ers, sos the arches b- i.gof bd
icet span, and the remaining Bof nil feet. The aque
duel throughout is built ol stone, brick and cement,
arched over and under, b leet .=> inches high, G feet :j inch
es wi'ie at ihe bottom of the side wails, and 7 feet 8
nclus at the top. It has a descent of Hhf inches per
mil*', and will uischarga B.i,o*>i,ihh.i gallons ot water in
Zl hou s. It delivers its water into a receiving reser
voir at Eighty-six tit street, SS miles from the dam,
which covers 44 acres, and <xwitains 15t> t 0< M .t,<K*ti gallons
of water. From this to the Croton Reservoir, the next
door neighbor ol ihe Crystal Palace, and distant ‘ly 2
m.les irom the receiving reservoir, the water is convey
ed u non pipes
Tnis reset voir is a massive and beautiful piece of
stone masonry, laid in cement, 4-> feet high above Ihe
street, aud containing gallons. Its surface
is iin tcet above tide water. Thence the water is dis
tributed over the city ia iron pipes. The gri'at mains
are 38 inches in diameter, and between 2 and 3<X miles
ot pipe have already been laid. The head is sutiicient
to carry the water into the upper stories of the houses,
and to sustain several beautiful ;V/s a'tuu in diticrent
parts ot the c ty. There are, also, a great many free
hydrams, Irom which the jmor supply ibeutselves, and
water is furnished tor cleansing the streets. The daily
consumption is, I believe, now over o0,<J"O,000 gallons,
but the supply liom the river is more than udepiate to
aiforxl tour limes that qu unity. This great unclcrln
•ritig was decided upon bv a vote of the citizens at the
cl niter election iu ib3, arid it was so far completed
hat t ie water was brought into the city on the 14th ot
October, ls42—the entire cost of the aqueduct to the
city having been about £ I,om>,o!K>.
Around the water of Ihe Reservoir is a wide side
walk, aud it appears to be a favorite resort for ladies—
at which 1 do not wonder, as the view of the river and
adj icenl country is beautiful therefrom.
The oorre.-qrondeiit, iu sjieaking of the novelties in
Ihe building line now being erected in that city, says :
“The object, however, that occupied mostly my at
tention, was ‘The Lattirm Observatory,” which is some
times called Baruum’s Tower, although 1 am assured
that he has nothing lo do with it. It is within a few
yards ol his Palace, standing ou Forty-third street, the
entrance being through a building 125 feet long. On
either side of the passage will be small shops, forming a
c> n m-mus ba ;tar. An upper story will be an Ice
i cam Saloon, elegantly fitted up fur ladies. The tow
ir is *n octagon, 75 feet in diameter at the base, with
an e vtreme height of 550 feet. It is timber, well braced
wi li iron, aud is anchored at each of the eight angles
vi h about 4*) tons ofsione and timber. The first story
u.II bea refreshment Saloon; the second probably a
Ladies’ Ordinary, Ice Cream Saloon or something ot
‘L it sort. These stories are inclosed, and are together
about twenty-five feet in height. Above this are three
sln i of open work, and then an inclosed landing to
’ e lilted up iu good style. Here will be the first look
out, 125 feet from the ground. Then come four ojhmi
stories, above which is the second lauding, 225 feel
Irom terra tirina. Passing three opeu storeis, we reach
the third and highest landing, 300 feet from the base,
and by the reason of the height of ground, about 175
fee! higher lliau the topmost windows in rit Paul’s
spire. To aid th? view, ih?re will he a number of teles
copes at each landing, wiili maps and directions for the
convenience to strangers. Access to the first aud second
landings will be by a steam elevator, running up a well
way i*i the centre about 15 feet iu diameter. From the
second to third landing will be a winding slairwav.—
I he tower will he finished, a spire, with a flag staff iu
all lift? feet above the highest landing, thus making the
extreme altitude from base to top of pole just 350 feet.
1 lie cost will be- ab ut ¥2s*yn>o; the proprietors have
ten years lease of the ground. The base seem-, also,
too small for the proposed altitude of lho edifice, and for
my part I would he content with what 1 could see from
the terrace on ihe Reservoir, and leave the steam eleva
tor fixings to more adventurous star gazers.
Not Jolly, Decidedly !
“Just listen to the acidulated and unkind frankness
w herewith the Ecenlny discusses
“THE FOREIGN APPOINTMENTS.”
“M e are grateful to the President that in making his
selection of diplomatic represen fives, he has weakened
the lioine force of the Democratic party* of the country
in the least puw-ible degree. He could hardly have
chosen an rquitPuimbw of prominent men whose ab
sence would less seriously felt than those whose names
we copied yesterday from the official bulletin. We
speak especially of those whose incubation has been
most prolonged.
“ Instead of wondering at the time constitut'd over
these appointments, we marvel rather that a selection
oould have been made in so short a time, of so large a
number whose banishment the nation has so little rea
son to regret, and who at the same are personally so
unexceptionable. There is not among them, unless it
be some of those whose names we never heard of, who
will never permit himself to be picked up drunk in the
public streets wIHe abroad, and that is saying more
than could be said of all of our foreign representatives
for many years. There are not many, we believe, there
are none of the newly-appointed Ministers who can
sp*_*ak any of the languages in use at the courts to
which 1 hey are accredited ; and the same remark mav
may be made of the Charges, with the single exception
of Mr. Belmont; bt as it has long been customary for
the Government to employ men of ‘one tongue’ in the
diplomatic service, we are bound to presume that the
usage is founded upon some principle of public policy
If most of them talk abroad as liter do at home, the
fewer languages they have at their command the bet
ter.
“ We have long felt that this country had little occa
sion lor any permanent diplomatic force abroad; but as
there must be some mode of satisfying politicians who
only serve their party for pay, the best that can be done
with them is to send them where they will be out of
the way, and where they may learn something, though
th'-\ earn nothing. For this reason, perhaps, the for
malities of di[4omacy may as well be continued, espec
ially if, as in the present case, the loss lo the country is
almost exclusively a pecuniary onel
“ New York has as little cause as any of the States
to complain of this system of honoroble banishment, as
administered by the present Administration ; for she is
required t supply bat one Chargeship to the Hague,
and two Consulships-one to Cork, in Ireland and the
o;Her to Honolulu, in the Sandwich Islands. The two
first do not pay expenses. The last does, if the incum
bent is carried out and back at the expenses of the
Gorernmeut.
“ There is one full mission left, which rumor assigns
to a N"ew Yorker. Should that rutnor prove correct,
New York will be charged with about half the diplo
matic service, which, acoording to her population, she
is fairly bound to render. If this forbearance and ap-
I parent partiality of ihe partiality of the President to
ward the EmjHre State should provoke complaints
from any ofher sister States, we beg them to remem
ber that she gave the President the largest vote and
the largest majority that he received from any State in
the Union. Ibis fact fairly entitles her to some con
sideration at his hands, and he ought to be censured
for taking such a suitable method of showing that he is
not insensible of his obligations.”
Pacific Rail Roaii. —Four expeditions have been or
ganized under the appropriation ot slso,o**o, for the sur
vey of a practicable roule for the Pacific Railroad. The
first, mnler Gov. Stevens, late of the Topographical
Engineers, will start from S’. Paul’s, Minnesota, and
move west across the upper branches of the Missouri,
through the South Pass, thence to the Columbia River.
The second, under Lieut. Whipple, of the Topographi
cal Corps, is instructed to server the route from Mem
phis or Vicksburg, by way or Port Smith, Ark., and
Albuquerque, New Mexico—thence to the frontier of
California. Lieut. Williamson is directed to leave San
Diego with a surveying party, and ineel Lieut. Whipple
at Walker's Pass in the Sierra Nevada Capt. Gunni
son is ordered from Milwaukie to Washington, to take
charge of the fourth party, which will rendezvous near
Council Blurts, and attempt to explore ihe Central route
—that taken by CoL Fremont in his last expedition
which failed so disastrously. This party is organized
under the recommendation of Mr. Benton. Mr. Kerr,
one of Col. Fremont’s men, will accompany this last
party. Lack party will be escorted by 35 troops—
mounted men or infantry.

The New York Courier says His! flu* questioi
as to the right of the Officers of the customs to oue-ba
of the twenty per cent, penalties imposed b.v the tarn
act of 1848 is about to be decided by the supreme Cour
of the United States. An attempt has been made to
compel Mr Maxwell, the late Collector, to pay into tin*
Treasury ihe amount of those penalties which have been
collected during bis term of office, and which are claimed
by the officer*. On Friday morning Judge Xeisoi
granted an injunction prohibiting Mr. Maxwell froi *
paying those moneys into the Treasury until the Com”
decide whether they belong to the Government or toll,
officers. In the mean time the money ia deposited i <
coin in the *ashier’a office of the Collector, where it wi*
remain to abide the decree of the Court.

Fatal Rail Raal Accide.it.
Tiie C urUtton G it/'lct t ol the 12th in;t says: I 8
ai h sincere regret that we learn ihai between ten and
eleven o’clock qu Monday night, the freight night Ex
press train which had left Charleston that afternoon lor
Columbia, was thrown off the track at a place called
Catt.e Creek, about 55 miles from this city, the e lgiue
and lour freight cars being plungd ad p"th of 25 or 30
feet, in consequence of some evil disposd ;>erson or per
sons having maliciously placed two bars of old tfi.nge
iron in such a position on the rails as to lead the train
o.f the track. The Engineer Isaac Winters and two
areuitn named Sanuel Willis, and W. F. Snead, were
iak**n from beneath the engine, and conveyed to Branch
vine, a short distance above, win- e they received every
attention that medical skill could suggest. Thev wervj.
however, so seriously scalded hu Winers ded in
‘b*>tit o to hour, and Willis in about four after the oc
curence of ihe accident. The injures to Snead are also
of i highly dun .erous character, and we understand
that i 1 is uotani.cipated that he can survive.
;vr VV e find in tlie Nashville Union an account of a
very singular case in that city, recently decided in the
criminal court. Tiie Union gives the facts as follows:
Mr. A. L. Green was indebted to W. Young the sum
of $11.50 in payment of which Green gave him a check
as follows: “Hobson & Wheless pav to Win. Young or
hearer, eleven and fifty dollars.” There was no dot b •
tween the eleven atid fifty at the head of the check.
Hobson and Wheless, presumirg the check to be drawn
for eleven hundred and fifty dollars, and not having so
much money on hand at the time told Young to call
the next morning, as it was then past banking hours.
He did so, when they gave him a check upon the Union
Bank for the sum. Young drew the money but did
nut attempted any concealment of the sum, but consult
ed several triends as to what he should do with it One
ot them told him to deposit it with him fora few davs,
and if nothing was said that he should keep it. The
presumption i-* th it this was done, as none of the money
has been recovered. It was argued bv the defence that
as the law distinctly stated that the goods must be ob
tained with intention at the time feloniously to steal
them, the prisoner could not bo found guilty,"as fie ob
tamed tb? toon tv without fraudulent or deceptive pre
tences. The judge so charged; and also if Young had
not form ‘*i the intention to steal the money, and was
ignorant ol and amount be was to receive, he should be
acquitted. The jury returned a verdict of‘not guilty,’
and the prisoner was discharged.”
AV no is tiie Genuine Individual. —The scene at the
Customhouse yesterday, was decidedly rich. The for
tunate individuals who r cetved appointments, were
there of course, to be sworn in, while the outs mustered
ia great force, and looked decidedly revolutionary if uot
incendiary. The genius of discord lor a time reigned
triumphant. Now it happened that the list published
yesterday morning, ot the appointees, contained the
names ol individuals, who, unfortunately for themscles
have many duplicates in the city. They were all, ol
course, patriots, ambitious of three dollors a day. Fede
ral honors and each considered himself the appointee,
and demanded to be sworn in. Gen. Downs, the Col

In the mean time, three of the four got into a triangu

the story goes, believing that lie could make the fourth
claimant useful hereulier, took, charge of him, pretty
much iu the same style by which he rushed the ine
briate member of the last Legislature into the caucus

We learn that there has been no little embarrassment
experienced at the Customhouse, in consequence ot has

for which they are utterly incompetent. We have a
communication which illustrates very plainly the con
sequences of this hasty action on the part of the Collec
tor. Our correspondent, of course, a strong Democrat,
and a very worthy man, was the successful applicant
for an office; but it seems he was chiseled out of his
berth; for after his appointment was made, when it
was ascertained that the office was a desirable one, an
individual bearing the same name, and holding the verv
respectable position of an Alderman, steps in, and
through the influence of a very potent political mana
ger, is passed off as the veritable Simon Pure, and gets
the office.
The communication of our correspondent is rather
too, salty to publish as it is ; but we have given the sub
stance ot it, and that it may be fully understood, he as
the real bonafi-U appointed, is E. O’Sullivan, and the
gentleman that has shoved him off his stool, is an As
.sistaut Alderman of the First District, of the same
name. At least, so says Mr. E. 0 Sullivan, our corres
pondent.
Spiritual Manifestations. —Although, strongly
disposed to regard the whole system or scheme of spiri
tual manifestations, as a gross delusion, or mischevious
deception, we do not feel ourselves at liberty to with
hold from our readers, the extraordinary letter and re
relations of the Hon. Nicholas P. Tullmudge, which we
publish this morning. It will be seen that Mr. Calhoun
agures largely in these revelations, as the chief or mas
let spirit, w it ii whom Mr. iallmadge holds communica
tion, through the Misses Fox, as his mediums or m Jut;
and among other astounding and ncredible things, we
nnd, mirabiU dicta, that Mr. Calhoun has become a
great guitar-player, in the spirit-world, and discourses
eloquent music to mortal corn. We S>ibear any com
ments on these strange mysteries; but, we merely add
who aud what Mr. Tallmadge is. He was fonneilv,
during the administration of President Van Buret),’a
distinguished Senator, in Congress, from the State of
New-York. On the Sub-Treasury question and specie
humbug, he left the Democratic ranks, and went over
to Whiggery and Gen. Harrison. On Mr. Tyler’s ac
cession to the Presidency, he was appointed Governor
of the then Territory of Wisconsin, and is now a highlv
respected uud influential citizen of that Slate. He is “a
man of high intelligence, and holds the pen of a ready
and elegant writer,—what has made him the victim of
this strange delusion of the times, we cannot divine

The Suspension Bridge at Niagara Falls.—The

First of importance in the way of usefulness and at
tractions to the legions who will pass it in review, is the
great combined railway carriage aud foot suspension
bridge, how iiuder construction by the International
Bridge Companies. The work is now being pushed
forward with energy, and will he ready for the trains
about the first of May next. The mason work, towers,
Ac., are being constructed on the Canada side by Mr.
Brown, contractor, and ou the American side by Mr.
Gage, favorably known as contractor on various pub
lic works. A large portion of the materials are now on
the ground, and much of the rough hewing, sinking of
anchor pits, &c., has been done, and the immense an
chor plaies and chains are coming into place. A short
year will present one of the most stupendous words iu
tiie world, as a work of art —well worthy of a place by
the side ol’the great natural wonder, the Falls of Nta

Atmospheric Telegraph.— This new parcels-deliver

vorably ; and as a company has been formed lo lay
down a tube for it two leet in diameter from New York

speed.ly ra.sing 1 00,000, with which ihe tube can be

Bo is >ned. —A young lady, daughter of Mr. Burton
Whitaker, of Henry county, died suddenly, one day last
week, from eating wlmt she supposed to be “Angelica”
.oid her sister by merely tasting it was so uutcli aliect
ed that she did uot recover for several days.
Barents should be very cureiul how they suffer chil
dren to hunt the woods for Angelica as ii is a dangerous
practice lo those not well acquainted with it. The real
angelica has a root that is very pleasant to the taste and
is entirely harmless, But there is a weed that grows iu
our fores's, that is a deadly and very acme poison,
which so much resembles angelica that” it is hard to dis
tinguish one from the other Tins is what we suppose
Mr. Whitaker’s children got hold of.— Gnfiin Union.

now in the o.i hundred on i t/ur y-jir -t year of he; age.
ller mental facilities arc s ill unimpaired, and she re

was deprived at the advanced age ot niuery-iiine years,

The Greatest Discovery of the Age.
Planters, Farmers, Families and others can
purchase no remedy, equal to Dr. Tobins’ Venetian Lin
iment for Cholera, Dysentery, Colic, Croup, Chronic
Rheumatism, Quinsev, Sore Throat, Toothache, Head
icbe. Sea Sickness, Cuts, Burns, Swellings, Pains in
the Limbs, Back, Chest, &c.
It it does not give relief, the money will be returned;
all that is asked is a trial, and use it according to the
directions.
I ins article is an English Remedy, and was used bv
ihe late King of England, William the Fourth and cer
tified to by him, as a cure for Rheumatism, when eve
rything else recommended by his Physicians nad fail
ed. Over 10,000,00 *of Bottles have been sold in the
United States without a single failure, and many fami
lies stated that they would not be without it, if it was
$lO per bottle, for in cos of Croup, it is as certain as it
was applied. It cures Toothache in 3 minutes, Head
ache in a half an hour, and Cholera when first taken,
in a few hours.
It is perfectly innocent to take internally, and has
the recommendation of the most eminent Physicians in
the United States. Price 25 and 50 cts.
Dr. Tobias has also put up a Horse I.inament
in Pint Bottles, which is warranted cheaper and better
than any other for the cure of Cholic, G ills, Swellings,
old Sores, Cuts, Bruises, Scratches, Cracked Heel, Ac.
Price 50 cts.
Dr. Tobias could fill a dozen Newspapers with certifi
cates and letters received relating to the wonderful
cures accomplished by his Linament, but considers
warranting it sufficient, as no person is called on to
pay for it, who does not obtain relief. There lias been
so much worthless medicine sold to the public, that
Dr. Tobias wishes his article to rest on its own merits,
and it he gives the value of the money received, then
he asks the patronage of the public, not otherwise.

Xen ous Conditions of the System!—Heart Disease and
Nervous Complaints. The astounding and happy
effect of Dr. Rose's Nervous Cordial, for Diseases of the
Heart, Palpitation, Numbness, Neuralgia. Nervous
Tremor of the Muscles, Heartburn, Flatulence, Pain in
the Face, Wakefulness, Restlessness, or for the Mind or
Body worn down by rare, labor, or study, lias induced
many physicians to use it in their practice. For a weak
constitution it is a good restorer; it completely removes
from the system all nervous irritations, and is almost
miraculous in its rapid and happy effect. The weak
and the nervous are frequently restored to perfect
health before using one bottle. Price fifty cents.
SARSAPARILLA BLOOD PURIFIER.
A valuable Spring Medicine for purifying the Blood,
is to be found in Da. ROSE’S SARSAPARILLA
COMPOUND. This Preparation is made of fresh
Honduras Sarsaparilla, ana combined with other ingre
dients to render it the very best Blood Purifier made.
Asa Spring and Summer Medicine, or Drink, it is pala
table, refreshing, and medicinal; it is also efficacious in

Diseases, Scrofulous Sores, Venereal Disease, and its

ana there is a great aversion to society. Regulate the
Liver, and you correct all these evils. The surest pre

of this tine and popular Watering Place by the first
week in June, where he will be prepared and
.accomodate visitors and families, with the very best the
country affords, and on terms at once reasonable and
satisfactory. A large and commodious Hotel, conveni
ently arranged, and well furnished, has just been com
pleted. To this may be added a number of neat and
comfortable frame CABINS, for the accommodation of
families surrounding the Springs, and convenient to
the tables of the Hotel—all, together, enabling the un
dersigned to give extra attention to the comfort and
convenience of visitors and invalids.
The medicinal qualities of the witer have been fully
tested—ate found to be fine, and invigorating—so much
so, that the Springs are in high fuvor with hundreds
who have tested them. They are situated at the base
of the Chilhowee Mountain, more than feet above
the level of the Sea. The salubrity ot the atmosphere,
and the fulness of the climate, are proverbial—
so much so, that these Springs are a private resort in
the summer months for our home folks, as well as for
those who find it necessary to flee from the more sultry
and sickly portions of the South. These Springs are
situated in the county of Blount, 24 miles South of
Knoxville, and about eight miles South of Maryville—
a moral and quiet town. Persons from the South can
reach these Springs by steam to Loudon, on the Rail
road, and up tiie river to Louisville on Boats, and thence
by private conveyance, only 14 miles, or fiotn the
Athens Depot, by Stages, only some 50 miles, on a fine
road. Or, if they choose, from Knoxville by Stages,
only 24 miles, ou a good road,

bv no geographical lines, the reputation of Barry's
Trieophtrovs pervades the Uniou. The sales of the
article of late years have increased in a ratio that almost
exceeds belief’ Professor Barry, after a careful ex
amination of his sales’ book, finds that the number of
bottles delivered to order, in quantities of from half a
gross upward, during the year 1852, was within a trifle
of 950,000.
It is unnecessary to present at length the evidences of
the wonderful properties of the Trieopherous, when the
public have furnished such an endorsement as this.—
The cheapness of the article, ami the explanations given
of its chemical actiou upon the hair, the scalp, uTid in
all cases oi superficial irritation, first recommended
it to the attention of the people. This was all that the
inventor desired. Every bottle advertised itself. The
effects of the fluid exceeded expectation. It acted like
acluTrm. The ladies would not he without it. Country
dealers in every section of the United States found they
must have it; and thus was built up a wholesale trade
ot an extent hitherto unheard of n* regards articles of
this kind. The highest point has not vet been reached,
and it is believed that the sales this year will beamillion
