#bnratg pspatdj. AUGUSTA, GKO : Saturday Evening, Sov. ”7, 1838- Errors in Text Books, “ Os making kooks there is no end. We hope so at least, until our text books vastly improved, no dowbt, or er those of our fathers’ day, shall exhibit fewer! errors, more science and greater adap tation to the use of the school room.- In some departments there has been much more improvement than in oth ers : but, upon the whole, we risk the j assertion, there are few good text; books in use at the present time, ihis doubtless will surprise many whose ex perience in teaching has not convinced them of its truth; but who in their vain attempts to keep up with the “improvements of the age, aud the march of mind, have, in the purchase of new hooks with every change of teachers, beaome subjected. "To such expense as pinches parents Hut, Aud mortifies the liberal hand of love." Improvement in “ hookmakiny, hits not kept place with improvements in science, or the mechanic arts. In these, man seems to acknowledge no limit, but the absolutely impossible; and ■with almost Promethean temerity, he draws nown the tires of heaven and compels them to do his bidding and to leap the barriers interposed in vain by mailer, time and space. But in text hooks there has been change, hut not improve ment-revolution, hut not progress: at least to au extent commensurate with what has been made in other departments of j thought and skill. It may not be dilh-j cult to assign a cause. Man seldom { labors for the mere love of it: for as i one has said: “he is a lazy animal. There are few whose desire to instruct j and benefit mankind, is so unselfish as to j induce them to engage in writing text books withhut a motive ; a quid pro quo. The general diffusion of knowledge among t lie masses of a rapidly increas ing, great people, has created a demand for this species of books unprecedented in the history of the world. A wide field has thus been thrown open for “ liUerari y adventurers," into which the Anglo American mind, never slow to percievea good opportunity for making investments, has entered with runirous ; competition. Not a few, moreover, , impressed with the idea of the facetious i Jons Holmes, that every man who does not write a hook is a fool, have proven their want of sanity by issuing some treatise on Arithmetic, or Grammar, on j the “ inductive,” or “ productive,” or j “ analytic,” or “ philosophic method,” all professing to have simplified the subject to such a wonderful degree, that a knowledge of this hitherto difficult aud unattractive science cau be acquir- i ed with little effort “ in a few weeks.”! {Brums not being a necessary condi tion we presume.) Likeother “patent nostrums,” these have found a ready sale, each supplanting its predecessor. Costing nothing, (uo thought,) they sell for little or nothing ; thus change be comes easy, and permanence uncertain, j A kind of guerrilla warfare being thus kept up by these aspirants for “literary fame,” men of real talent and self-re spect retire with disgust from the field, and betake themselves to some more lucrative and respectable calling. This is especially true in regard to many of cur more elementary, hut most impor- < taut text books. Os the scores of Grammars issued within the last few years from the American Press where is there one to be found which is not either "Irimfutl” of errors, or sadly defective in arrangement, and almost wholly unfit to bo put into the hands of students.— I know of but one which as a scientific treatise is not liable to serious objec tions, and that one from its size and ex pensiveness caunot be used as a text book, generally. The ntelligent reader need not he informed that we refer to Goold Brown’s Grammar of Grammars. If any one wishes to be convinced of the truth of our statement in regard to the worthlessness of English Grammars in common use, let him but peruse this work and see how completely he uses ! up these small fry ; demolishing their j theories, refuting their doctrine and j drawing hU false syntax from the very I language of these soi disant expositors of the English Longuage. We are notan author ; never expect to be, unless perchance, we also should become impressed with the idea that our sanity could be established in no oth er way. But we have, while reading Brown’s criticisms, tried to imayine our self oue, and in this stretch of our fan cy, we have really pitied these murder ers of the “ Kings English," under these raspings, aud thought surely, “Fools rush in where angola dare not tread.” j Another cause for the state of things of which we are speaking, is a want of independence in thinking, perhaps we ought to say want of thought entirely.— To defer to the opinions of superiors is entirely proper, to resign our own right to reasonaDd judge for ourselves leads to mental vassalage, protracts the resign Os ignorance and error. ’There is among men a strong proclivity to rest down upon authority rather than to rely upon the deductions of reason, the results of experiment or the testimony of the senses. Gallileo was never fully eman cipated from the shackles of the shcool men, albeit he demonstrated to them the fallacy of their a priori reasoning by an experiment they all could see, but would not contrary to authority, admit. While thus refuting a cherished dog ma of the schoolmen in regard to the laws of gravitation, he still adhered to one more ridiculous, and it remained for his pupil Torricelli to break the toils \ of his master, and explain to the world why nature’s “abhorrence of a vacuum" ‘ I suddenly stops at the height of thirty j i three feet in the pump barrel. : speaking of the laws of gravitation, i we wish to correct au error in nearly U (we don’t know any exception) of; I our treatises on natural Philosophy.— j phe “Books” say that the times of as- ■ I cent and descent of bodies thrown up- j | ward are equal. This error has been ! copied and recopied in all the books j from the time of Newton till now.— j i It is easy to refute this error by aa ex periment, and also by mathematical j reasoning. It is plain that If the time of descent be equal io the time of as cent. their momenta or quantum of; motion will be equal; i. e. their effect I would be equal. Now try it! First; put your hand at the mouth of the gun pointing upward aud fire, or if you don't like that idea put a piece of board a few inches from the muzzle and mark the result. Then fire again upward and recieve the falling shot in the j hand or on the plank. This last can ; be done with impunity while the first is ; rather a dangerous experiment. The same conclusion cau be arrived at by au Algebiaic formula thus : Let A=the force necessary to carry the ball or shot to any as signable point. Let X = force of gravity, and Y=resistence of the atmosphere, j Then since the projectile force must overcome both gravity aud res atmos phere we have A—XfY for the ascending body. Let B—the force of falling body. Now as this force=gravity minus rest, at. we have, B=X—Y for falling body. By substracting one equation from i the other, we have f A=XfY j IB=X—Y j i A—B=--2 Y==the difference of the forces ascending and descending. This : then is the result. A body will de scend with a force less than that with | which it left the gun equal to |wice the resistance of the atmosphere whatever | that force may he. 53 Flr« In Eloyd County. A correspondent informs us that the ■ j Gin House of Dr: A. P. Longstrket, j formerly of this city, now living near j .'Rome, was burned ou Monday, and that ' j three of his negroes were burned to 'death before they could be got out.— ! I I We aave not room for the particulars to-day. Oysters. 1 There is a great demand for oysters in j Philadephia, and prices have gone up 1 considerably. They are selling at from sl2 to sls per thousand. These are the j prices for oysters taken in Pennsylvania waters. The supplies from the Chesape ake this season show a heavy falling off. Death oe a Curxstias Pioneer.— ■Rev. David Young, a divine of the 51. j ;E. Church of the last half century, 1 died at Zanesville, Ohio, one day last week, at an advanced age. He was one lof the early pioneers of Methodism in 'the West and South, over which he traveled when a perfect wilderness.— j Raised in Eastern Virginia in affluence, ; !he, after his conversion, devoted not; only his time and talents, but his am- I pie fortune, to the service of religion, j enduring all the privations and hard ships of pioneer life. Education in Prussia. —By a law of 1 Prussia, every child is required to go to ; school between the ages of seven and fourteen, and to learn, at least, to read 'and write. In 1845, there were only two persons in every hundred who could neither read nor write. In the standing army of 126,000 men, but two ; soldiers are unable to read ; aud of 2,- i 900,000 children between the ages of seven and fourteen at the last census, 2,328,000 were actually attending the ! schools.

The resolu tion was passed. That committee are Messrs. Mallard, Harris, of Meriwether, and Atkinson.

" * - - Tlie Hermit of the Mountain*. 1 Wilburn Waters, the hermit of Pond ' i Mountain, in the White Top regions of Virginia, has killed four bears within ■ the last three weeks oue of them ex ; ceedingly large. The Abingdon Viryin , wa says of this singular man : | For more than twenty years he has | lived alone in the solitude o.f that vast 1 mountain region, devoting the time to '■ hunting and stock raising. He claims, we belive, to be a half breed of the Ca- I tawba tribe, and is a man of great phys ical power. He owns about 1,000 acres of land, ami raises and sells largo num i bers of cattle and hogs, and takes vast quantities of wild honey. Although lie lives entirely alone, the latch string !of his cabin is always out, and nothing! seems to be more grateful to bis feelings! J than the dispensation of his hospitali ties. But, poor man, he now has no' latch string or cabin. During a few days’ absence four weeks ago,he return-j 1 ed to find bis home a bank of ashes,and jail that his house contained consumed. Wlieu we were there last week, he had; 'built a fire upon the spot where his] domicil stotxl and wc partook of his’ hospitalities upon a log in the open! air. j Since his residence upon the Fond, ! Mountain he has captured 80 bears, 36! I wolves, aud upwards of 300 deer, aud u |countless number of wild turkeys and; the varmints of the lulls. He is 40, j years old, has lived about half that time; at his present locality, and has never | |been at Abingdon but twice,though ou-| ly 30 miles from it. - Can AfiitaiiK to the l ulled State*. A correspondent of tbe New York Herald propounds the following quern ; iu that paper: i “Is there any law or any treaty to prevent it ‘ Colored men taken by force' lon the African coast I suppose to be) 'illegal, but if a parcel of colored menj choose to signify to me their desire to ! visit the American continent, have they not the right to do 60 ? The North say black men are free, hence have a ; right to go where they choose. Then, j I ask, have I not a right, without any infringement on existing treaties, to import or bring over at a fair remune ration, any quantity of Africans who desire to visit this country ?” — ! Gambling in V\ ushlngton. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia North American, in his let ! ter of the 13th instant, referring to an ;auction at the well known gambling; j house of a man named Pendleton, late-1 | ly deceased, remarks : These gambling resorts have in creased fearfully at Washington in tlie! i last ten years, and it is notorious that; ! they have done more to demoralize i | legislation than all the debasing and! icorrupting influences which have been! ! brought to bear upon weak, venal or j needy members of Congress. I was; j deeply impressed by the silent but elo- j | quent witnesses of this fact, when the, | drawers of Pendleton's desk wereopen !ed, yesterday, and numerous bills, re-! lating to schemes before Congress, were; exposed to public view. Tbe misery, j ami wretchedness, and degradation in flicted upon men and families by these! hells are appalling, and even the im perfect disclosures which have reached! me, accidentally, exhibit a state of morals in Congress which would aston ish the country if exposed. Some of these gamblers, and otiiers who are concerned as capitalists with them, are openly employed as lobby agents, from their supposed ability to control votes through obligations incurred by mem bers ; and the fact is one of common town talk, that their tables are the re sort of a large class of such voters, in pre ference to the hotels. This thing has assumed that serious shape when pub licity becomes a duty ; for strange as it 1 may seem, tbe influence has so ramified! that it was feared, at one time, in the early stages of the Kansas struggle, last session, when the House was nearly equally divided, that the scale would be turned by a turn of the screw upon particular members who were known to be in the power of the gamblers. It may well be asked where are we drift ing, when such things can be, and go unrebuked ? Mr. Howe, tbe inventor of the loopstitcli used by all the best sewing machines, derives an annual income of j $00,090 from his invention. ! “It should ever be tbe aim of man,” I says an ancient sage, “to understand; jail old truths, and endeavor to develop' jnew.” * BY TELEGRAPH.

Penn., Jan. 10, 1850—Mr. Seth W Fowle—Sir: You are at liberty to use the following statement for the benefit ot the af tUfcted: I was attacked with the Liver Complaint, which apparently brought me to the brink ot t lie grave. During my sickness I was attended by three physicians in our place, but received no help. I also tried the various remedies re commended for such complaints, but they af forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was persuaded to try Winter's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and by using four bottles I was restored to better health than I have enjoyed before for ten years. This statement may be relied upon as strictly true. Betsey Pekhi.y. The above certificate was given in the pre sence <»f Dr. A.

Ii is not often that we | notice editorially a patent medicine ; yet we feel j ; it a duty when we are convinced un article is ■ i very meritorious to inform the public, that they,! too, may be benefitted by its use, and to prevent them from using other articles that have no i merit in them. Now we wish particularly to recommend to' our readers, DR. SANFORD’S LIVER INVIGO-; BATOR, as an article that has given benefit and ! performed cures, in our circle of acquaintance, that were little less than astonishing. It is par ticularly recommended for all diseases of the Liver, as it is a Liver Ineigorator. Especially among our own children have we noted its ben eficial cfl-vts. whore the little sufferers, from bowel complaint, worms and other diseases in cident to children, have been made quiet and perfectly cured by the use of this article. It has testimonials that none can doubt, for the cure of Jaundice, Dyspepsia, aud such troubles as al ways follow a deranged Liver A few such cases j have come under our observation, where it; seemed almost to work miracles. Our advice to families is not to be without it. j as ii wiil save many hours of pain by its speedy j use when disease first makes its attack — Ala - j toona Sentinel. nov3-daclm j fgT T h e Grent P r ohleiu Solved!—DP.. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—The dyspeptic patieut, whose stomach j has lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single j course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric j fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude j nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to I the sufferer, while ins digestive organization was J paralyzed aud unstrung, becomes, under the j wholesome revolution created in the system, the j basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux j or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors. wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down aud dispirited by that terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition of the wonderful machinery which connects ©v- j ery member with the source of sensation, mo- j tion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of this Cordial, which atoncecalms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it are unanimous in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the hands of medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite While it renews the strength of the digestive powers it creates a desire for the solid material which is to be subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. If long life and the vigor necessary to its eu joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to either sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general do bility or from the weakness of a single organ willali find immediateaud permanent relief from the use of this incomparable ren >vator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard against that terrible malady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion that they think themselves beyond the reach of medicine. Let not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re ference to the causes, and will not only remove the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofself-de s: ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute lv infallible.
