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 sent to Mexico to investigate the Gardiner claim, return ed to the United States in this vessel, and report that alleged mines have no existence. They have brought witnesses with them who will prove that the claim is a grand humbug.

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 ’ Facts for the School Journai. Over 22,000 children are attending the public schools in Boston, where they have a law to punish truants. Pennsylvania. —We learn from the school report just made to the Pa. legislature, that there are in that State 9,699 common schools, with 7,860 male and 3,853 female teachers, and 267,059 male and 213,719 female scholars.

Mr. Butler, of S. C., is opposed to the general measure. A New Democratic Organ. —A correspondent of the Tribune says: A negotiation is in progress and will probably be closed to-morrow, for the sale of The Republic news paper establishment to certain disaffected Democrats. The Union is decidedly too Old-llunkerish to suit the tastes of a largo portion of the “fierce Democracie,” and they want an organ which will try to unite Ooth extremes of the party, and treat all alike, only Young Arnc-rica a little more so.

The Small Pox.—Tlie Vade Meum, published at Buena Vista, Ga., in its issue of the 13th, says : We understand that the report is current in some sections of the country that the Small Pox is in this place, and so great is the alarm in some neighborhoods, it is said that a citizen of Buena Vista would not be allowed to enter their houses. The report is entirely false, and so for as we know or believe, there is not the slightest foundation for it.

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.

Columbus, Jan. 19—Ida ii A Klif K i’ l )N, Adm'tr 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.

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. 1 erms.—’‘The Corner Stone” will be published, Weekly on a large riieet at $2 per annum invariably in advance. No man will be entered upon our list until the money is paid. Any person who will send us five subscribers will receive a copy for his trouble.

Reynolds & Y arborough, Publishers. Columbus, January 21, 1853. 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.
