Senator Hunter—Mr. Pierce’s Cabinet.
The correspondent of the Charleston Mercury says :
‘‘Speculation, so long on tip-toe in reference to Senator
Hunter, has at hist been set .at rest, by the assurance of
his positive refusal to go into the Cabinet. It is well un
derstood that the post of Premier, was tendered him on
his visit to Boston, at the call of Gen. Pierce. It is now
understood that he then and there declined it; and al
thc gh it is not known yet,it is believed that his decision
was to a considerable extent swayed by the action of a
portion of the Virginia Legislature, who sent a round
robin for Mr. Barbour. Thisfire in therear a man of Mr
Hunter’s shrinking sensibility would feel most keenly, for
his is not an iron nature. He excels more as a coun
sellor than as a leader, and those who fired the gun calcul
ated well thedistancee and the vulnerable spot. But
they did not calculate the recoil. The State Rights party
generally may well feel both indignant and disappointed
at such an issue tosuch an offer. Mr. Hunter was selec
tee as their Representative man, infinitely more than as
the Representative of Virginia, and his refusal not alone
embarrasses President Pierce, but may react disastriously
on the party. Having passed this high compliment, and
thus indicated his confidence in them, Gen. Pierce may
now (if he pleases,) consistently turn elsewhere for the
aid and comfort denied him there and his late sore afflic
tion will not tend to reconcile him to the additional annoy
ance this refusal gives him.
For any disastrous consequeuces to the State Rights
party that may accrue from this refusal, Mr. Hunter of
course will have to bear his share of responsibility ; but
his State, that served him as Cimon was, must bear the
heavier burden. Mr. Hunter was the head of the State
Rights party at his choice. lie lias waived tlie succession
to Cal'rionn, for all who navigate the troubled setts of poli
tics, should know the truth of the saying.
Pilots who wonld the vessel save,
Leave not the helm when storms are on the wave.
If they do, stronger hands and more sleepless eyes must
succeed them, lest shipwrecks ensue. There are, how
ever, within the ranks of the State Rights party several
eminent men equally well adapted intellectually, better
fitted otherwise, than Mr. Hunter to occupy the post
which he has declined. Whether it has been tendered
twice in the same quarter, is another question—though
doubtless some positions in the Cabinet must be filled by
Representatives of that powerful party.
Sugar Manufacture.
The following interesting account of the first attempt
to make sugar in Louisiana, is from the Report of the
United States Patent Office for 1847 :
Judge Rost, in his address before the Mechanical
and Agricultural Association of Louisiana, gives an
interesting description of the first attempt to make su
gar in Louisiana, whichs hows from how small beginnings
the great crops now raised of this article have proceeded.
He says :
How is it with the sugar-cane in Louisiana ? It was
introduced here at an early day from tlie West Indies,
and cultivated to a small extent at Terre aux Bceufs,
and in the neighborhood of New Orleans. Nobody at
first imagined that 6ugar could be made of it. The juice
was boiled into syrup, which sold at extravagant prices.
In 1796, Mr. Bore, residing a few miles above New
Orleans—formed the desperate resolve of making sugar.
He increased his cultivation, put up the necessary buil
dings and machinery, and procured a sugar maker
from the West Indies. The day appointed fur the ex
periment was come, and the operation was under way.
The inhabitants of New Orleans and the coast had as
sembled there in great numbers ; hut they remained
outside of the building, at a respectable distance from
the sugar maker, whom they looked upon as a sort of ma
gician. The first strike came, and he said nothing;
this they thought fatal, but still they remained fixed to
the spot. The second strike was out; the sugar ma
ker carefully stirred the first, and then advancing to
wards the assembled crowd, told them with all the grav
ity of his craft, “Gentlemen, it grains.” “It grains,”
was repeated by all. They all rushed in to see the
wonder; anil, when convinced of the facts, scattered in
all directions greeting every body they met, with “It
grains.” And from the Belize to the Dubuque, from
the Wabash to the Yellow Stone, the great, the all
absorbing news of the Colony was, that the juice of the
cane had grained in lower Louisiana. It did grain ; it
has continued to grain ; it grained the last season at
the rate of 215,000,000 pounds ;and if no untoward ac
tion of the government prevents it, in ten years it will
grain to the extent of more than double the quantity.
The Arrival of the Isabel.—The Commissioners

Gen. Pierce’s Cabinet.—The Washington corres
pondent of tlie Baltimore Sun says:
Enough is known of the Cabinet arrangements to
show that Gen. Tierce has been disappointed in obtain
ing the services of some of those on whom he most re
lied to give strength and consistency to his counsels :
and that there is little probability of the formation of such
a Cabinet as will either harmonize among themselves or
give satisfaction to all the different interests of the Dem
ocratic party.
Meanwhile, difficulties are to be thrown in the way
of the new administration by its own friends, in relation
to foreign affairs, which it will hardly have strength to
overcome. If the tone of the democracy in Congress
and in the press be responded to by the administration,
complication with foreign powers cannot be avoided.
There is nothing to be feared as to the result, even of
a war with England, Spain and France, but the question
is whether we had not better “bide our time V ’

We beg to state that the early action of your honorable
body is very important to the completion of the two first

CALVIN STRATTON, Clerk.
[From N. Y. Commercial.]
The prosperity of many men is frequently attributed to
some lucky hit, or fortunate concurrence of circumstances.
This is a flattering view to those who fail but, is in nine
cases out often erroneous, for industry and perseverance are
the real causes of success. An instance of this fact is pre
sented in the career of Mr. Wm. H. Knoepfel, No. 99 Wil
liam street, who from a commencement as a clerk has been
able, by perseverance and untiring industry, to establish a
business and accumulate friends, customers, and capital.—
He is now in the foremost rank of those who started in the
pursuit of fortune with him. His present large store for the
sale of cloths, vestings, and trimmings will shortly be en
larged by the addition of the building adjoining, No. 101,
when his premises and business facilities will compare fa
vorable with any in the street. Being widely known as one
of the fairest dealers in his line; he will doubtless soon reach
the goal for which we are all striving. Jan. 25, 1853.
In our columns may be found the advertisement of
that excellent medicine known as Ayer’s Cherry Pecto
ral, Its success in curing the various diseases of the
Lungs is attracting universal attention, not only of learn
ed and philanthropic, but of the whole public. The arti
cle undoubtedly is what it pretends to be, a remedy for
Lung Complaints, and the remarkable cures which are
becoming known every where cannot long be overlooked
by the people.

For the rapid Cure of
coir,ns, colds, hoarseness,
BRONCHITIS, Yi HOOPING-COICH,
CROIP, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.
Many years of trial, instead of impairing the public con
fidence in this medicine, has won for it an appreciation and
notoriety by iar exceeding the most sanguine expeetation
of its friends. Nothing but its intrinsic virtues and the un
mistakable benefit conferred on thousands of sufferers could
originate and maintain the reputation it enjoys. While
many interior remedies thrust upon the community, have
failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the alHicted they can never for
get, and produced cures too numerous and too remarkable
to he forgotten.
While i'is a fraud on the public to pretend that any one
medicine will infallibly cure—still there is abundant proof
that the Cherry Pectoral does not only as a general thing,
but almost invariably cure the maladies for \vhich it is em,
ployed.
As time makes these facts wider and better known, this
medicine has gradually become the best reliance of the af
flicted, from the log-cabin of the American Peasant, to the
palaces of European Kings, Throughout this entire coun
try, in every State, city, and indeed almost every hamlet it
contains, Cherry Pectoral is known as the best remedy ex
tant for diseases of the Throat and Lungs, and in many
foreign countries, it is coming to be extensively used by their
most intelligent Physicians. In Great Britain, France and
Germany, where the medical sciences have reached their
highest perfection, Cherry Pectoral is introduced, and in
constant use in the Armies, Hospitals, Alms Houses, Public
Institutions, and in domestic practice, as the surest remedy
their attending Physicians can employ for the more dan
gerous affections of the lungs. Also in milder cases, and
for children it is safe, pleasant and effectual to cure. In
fact,some of the most flattering testimonials we receive
have been from parents who have found it efficacious in
cases particularly incidental to childhood.
The Cherry Pectoral is manufactured by a practical
Chemist, and every ounce of it under his own eye, with in
variable accuracy and care. It is sealed and protected by
law from counterfeits, consequently can be relied on as gen
uine without adulteration.
We have endeavored here to furnish the community with
a medicine of such intrinsic superiority and worth as should
commend itselfto their confidence—a remedy at once safe,
speedy and effectual, which this has by repeated and count
less trials proved itselfto be: and trust by great care in pro
paring it with chemical accuracy, of uniform strength to
afford Physicians anew agent on which they can rely for
the best results, and the afflicted with a remedy that will do
for them all that medicine can do.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
CORNER STONE.
\\ L intend to publish in the city of Columbus. Ga., a paper
under the title of “THk CONNER STONE.”
We shall not attempt to foreshadow our future course,
by saying that we shall adhere to and advocate the “great
principles” o! this or that “great party,” for the reason that
we know no party, to whose principles, as exemplified in
practice, we can thus commit ourselves.
With some difference oi creeds and professions, the two
great National parties agree in one leading object, which is
to do whatever may be necessary to increase the amount of
Party spoils, which are gathered mainly from the South and
distributed almost entirely at the North. We do not belong
to either ol them.
Believing the General Government to be corrupt in all its
parts,—holding that it belongs to, and is and will be admin
istered lor the benefit of the North alone—that it is anen
giiie bv which, the power and resources of the South are
wielded to her injury—that in all respects and under all
circumstances, the political connection between the two
sections ol'evil to the South, we shall advo
cate its dissolution.
As to State politics, if there be any party which has any,
we are ignorant ol it. So entirely is every thing absorbed,
in the effort to sustain a national organization, that the dis
cussion of principles and meas’ :e, involving the rights and
interests ot tlie people, is often deprecated and avoided, lest
the party may be thereby injured ; as if the invasion of the
rights ol a citizen, by State legislation were not as fatal and
as much to be guarded against, as the exercise of an undele
gated power by Congress.
In what we shall choose to consider and treat as State,
politics, we shall find much to discuss—for there is much,
that is wrong somewhere.
VV e boast that we have the best Government on earth
anu that we live in the full blaze of the light of Christianity
yet we have daily, the complaint, that over all the land
crime and degradation, and misery are increasing, with ap
palling rapidity. Such are not the legitimate fruits of a
pure Christianity or of a good and wise government.
We shall consider all things connected with the rights
and interest of the people, proper subjects for discussion;
our object will be to aim at the truth ; and when in our
opinion, we shall have found it, we shall present it to our
reader? as it presents itselfto us.

Wolfe s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,
Manufactured by the proprietor exclusively, at Schie
dam, in Holland, by a process peculiar to his own fac
tory. It is flavored and medicated, not by the common
liars,i berry, but by the choice botannical variety of the
aromatic Italian juniper berry, whose more vinous ex
tract is distilled and rectified with its spirituous solvent
and thus becomes a concentrated tincture, of exquisite
flavor and aroma, altogether transcendant in its cordial
and medicinal properties, to any Holland Gin hereto
fore known.
In Gravel, Gout and Rheumatism ; in obstructions o
the Bladder and Ktuneys its effects are prompt, decid
ed and invariably reliable. And it is not only a remedy
lor these maladies, but in all cases in which they are
produced by drinking had water, which is almost uni
versally the cause of them, it operates as a sure preven
tive.
The distressing eftect upon the stomach, bowels and
bladder of travellers, new residents, and all persons un
accustomed to them, produced by the waters of nearly
all our great inland rivers, like the Ohio, Mississippi
and Alabama, lrom the large quantity of decaved veg
etable matter contained in them, in a state of solution,
is well known ; as is also that of the waters of lime
stone regions in producing Gravel, Calculiand Sioae in
the Bladder. The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps is an
absolute corrective of all these injurious properties of
bad water, and consequently prevents the diseases
which they occasion. It is also found to be a cure and
preventive ot Fever and Ague, a complaint caused by
the conjoint effects of vegetable malaria in tht atmos
phere. and vegetable putrescences in the waters o
these districts in which it principally prevails. The
Arom uic Schiedam Schnapps is consequently in great
demand by .persons travelling, or about to settle in those
parts of the country, especially ; as well as by many in
every community where it has become known on ac
count of its various other remedial properties.
In all cases of a dropsical tendency, it is generally
the only remedy required, when adopted in the early
stages of the disease. In Dyspeptic maladies, when
taken in proper quantities, as a diet drink, and especial
ly at dinner, it is found by uniform experience to be em
inently etlicacious in the most obstinate cases, when
even the best of the usual remedies have failed to af
ford more than mere temporary relief. In cases of
Flatulency,it is an immediate and invaluable specific ;
and it may be administered in diluted and proportionate
quantities even to young infants, in all those paroxysms
of griping pain in the stomach and bowels to which they
are especially subject, as well as in the colic of grown
persons.
Its judicious adoption in connection with the princi
pal meals, or when a sense of exhaustion dictates its use
never fails to relieve the debility attendant upon pro
tracted Chronic maladies, low temperaments and ex
hausted vital energy, by whatever cause induced.—
These are fact-* to which many of the most eminent
medical men, both in Europe and the United States,
nave borne testimony and which are corrobaled by their
h.ghest written authorities.
The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps is put up in good
strong bottles, neatly covered and labeled,accompanied
jy an Essay upon its properties and uses. For sale by
ihe principal Druggists in this city and United States.
UDOLPHE WOLFE, Importer, No. 22 Beaver U.
HOLLAND GIN AS A MEDICINE.
In our last number we accompanied the publication
of a circular on this subject, from our fellow citizen
Udolphe Wolfe, Esq., with a brief commentary, expres
sive of our own views. Since then we have been em
ploying this agent, and thus far with favorable results.
But we are in receipt ot several communication on
the subject from medical men, which serve to show that
Mr Wolfe’s Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps is very ex
tensively in use, and in the hands of physicians, is
proving itself as a stimulating diuretic to be eminently
successful after other medication with this intent had
been tried in vain. In one of the cases thus reported
abdominal dropsy has been cured, and the necessity of
apping averted ; and in another distiessing case of
gravel, so called, has been entirely removed by the
passage of a calculus of considerable size, which is as
cribed to the use of only two bottles of this article.
We know not the object of Mr Wolfe in designating
his preparation by the singularly uneuphonious name
of “Schnapps,” nor of his denominating it in his ad*
vertisements, the ‘ concentrated Tincture of Juniper,*
instead ofperpetuatingits ancient title ofHoliand Gin.
It is true that he admits it to be no hing else than the
latter arrive in its pure state, unadulterated by noxious
drugs, and hence he contradistinguishes it from Gin of
commerce, nearly all of which, as is well known, is
manufactured here and elsewhere fiorn inferior whiskey
and refuse drugs. The name he has given it, however,
may serve the purpose f designating his article, as pre
pared exclusively for medical purposes, and thus com
mend it to physicians lor whose convenience it is on
sale only by reputable druggists and apothecaries.
As respects its medicinal and curative effects, we un
derstand him to claim only that it is a pure and reliable
article of Holland Gin, and as such worthy of the con
fidence of physicians, in those diseases for* which they
are wont to prescribe it, and have hitherto only been
restrained, by finding it impracticable to obtain the ar
ticle in a pure state. Nor shoulo any prejudice agsinst
alcoholic medicine deprive the afflicted ot the benefit of
this article, which from time immemorial has held its
place among the remedial agencies of the Materia Med
ics, if it be f ound worthy ofconfidence by continued ex
perience. At all events, those who persist in the em‘
ployment and toleration of other alcoholic medicines
as tinctnres, bitters, 4*c., and especially those who pre
scribe Gin under any circumstances, must all unite in
giving the preference to a pure article over the manifold
adulterations so rife in the market. Mr Wolfe liberal
ly supplies physicians with a sample bottle for anaiysia
and trial, as set iorth in his circular, and stakes the
reputation oi the remedy upon the innocence, talety,
and efficiency of his Holland Gin, when used under
medical advice ; and pledges his own character in bu
ness that the article wnQ not disappoint any who u&e it
