FOR THE CURE OF
Headache, Sick Headache, Foul Stomach!
Pittsburgh, Pa. Mayl, 1855.
Dr. J. C. Ayer. Sir: I have been repeatedly cured of
the worst headache any body can have by a dose or two of
your Pills. It seems to arise from a foul Btomach, which
they cleanse at once. If they will cure others as they do
me, the <act is worth knowiug.
Yours with respect, E W. PEEBLE,

Department of the Interior, )
Washington, D. C., Feb. 7, 1856. J
I have used your Pills in my general and hospital prac
tice ever since you made them, and cannot hesitate to say
they are the best cathartic we employ. Their regulating
action on the liver is quick and decided,consequently they
are an admirable remedy for derangements of that organ.
Indeed I have seldom found a case of billious disease so
obstinate that it did not readily yield to them.
Fraternally yours, ALONZO BALL, M. D.

Dr. Ayer: Yor Pills are the perfection of Medicine.—
They have done my wife more good than lean tell you.
She had been sick and pining away for months. Went oh
to be doctored at great expense, but got no better. She
then commenced taking your pills, which soon cured her,
by expfelling large quantities of worms (dead) from her
body. They afterwards cured her and our two children o
bloody dysentery. One of our neighbors had ; t bad, and
my wife cured him with two doses of your Pills, while oth
ers around us paid from live to twenty dollars doctor s bills
and lost much time, without being cured entirely even
then. Such a medicine as yours, which is actually good
and honest, will be highly prized here.
GEO. J. GRIFFIN, Postmaster.
Indigestion and Impurity of the Blood.
From Rev. Mr. Hines, Pastor of Advent Church, Boston.
Dr. Ayer—l have used your Pills with extraordinary
success in my family and among those I am called to visit
in distress. To regidate the organs of digestion and puri
fy the blood they are the very best remedy I have ever
known, and 1 can confidently recommend them to my

[Correspondence of the Pennsylvania Enquirer.]
The Daughter of Aaron Burr.
An item of news just now going the rounds re
lates that a sailor who died recently in Texas con
fessed on his death bed that he was one of a crew
of mutineers who, some forty years ago, took, pos
session of a brig on its passage from Charleston to
New York, and caused all the officers and passen
gers to walk the plank. For about forty years the
wretched man had carried about with him the
dreadful secret, and died at last in an agony ol
despair.
What gives this story additional interest is the
thct that the vessel referred to is the one on which
Mrs. Theodocia Aliston, the beloved daughter of
Aaron Burr, took passage for New York, for the
purpose of meeting her parent in the darkest days
ol his existence,and which, never having been
heard of, was supposed to have foundered at sea.
The dying sailor professed to remember her
well; said that she was the last who perished, and
that he never forgot her look of despair as she
took the last step from the fatal plank. On read
ing this account, I regarded it as a fiction ; but, on
conversing to-day with an officer of the navy, he
assures me of its probable truth, and states that on
one of his passages home some years ago his ves
sel brought two pirates in irons, who were subse
quently executed at Norfolk for recent offences,
and who, before their execution, confessed that
they had been members of the same crew, and
participated in the murder of Mrs. Aliston and her
companions.
What chiefly caused my scepticism on the sub
ject was the fact that Mr. Parton, the recent biog
rapher of Burr, leaves the sale of the daughteren
veloped in mystery, and closes the record of her
noble and beautiful life with her embarkation on
board the brig, which he declares has never since
been heard from.
I am at a loss now to understand, if the confes
sion alluded to by my naval friend was made pub
lic, as it undoubtedly was, how Mr. Parton could
have failed, among his extensive and industrious
researches, to discover the (act. Whatever opin
ion may be entertained of the father, the memory
of the daughter must ever be revered as one of
the loveliest and most excellent of American wo
men, and the revelation of her untimely fate can
only serve to invest that memory with a more ten
der and melancholy interest.
From tlio Charleston Evening News, May 15.
Ann Pamela Canningham.
Delicacy has forbidden hitherto any personal
allusions on our part to the Southern Matron and
the Mount Vernon cause.
Mrs. llobert Cunningham, tlie mother of Miss
Cunningham, was a Virginian, born at Alexandria,
and her earliest associations and warmest memo
ries, together with a connexion, attached her to
the Washington family. Seeing with grief that
neither Congress nor Virginia would buy and pre
serve Mount Vernon, and hearing with great emo
tion that a northern manufacturing company had
tendered to its owner, Air. John A. Washington,
three hundred thousand dollars for it, she indig
cantiy exclaimed to her daughter, then resident as
an invalid at Philadelphia, lhat as men would do
nothing, the daughters of the South should rescue
it from profane northern hands, and consecrate it
as a revered shrine for (he world. The exclama
tion suggested to the daughter a conception of the
feasibility and propriety of the idea, and she deter
mined it should he executed. The two at once ar
ranged for the movement to commence in South
Carolina— their State. An article was prepared,
and Mrs. Robert Cunningham, on her return to
South Carolina, had it published in the Charleston
Mercury (and at the instance of ourself,) under
ate toiler. Miss Ann Pamela Cunningham forth
with proceeded to active measures, erranged the
plans, organized the Associations, was made Presi
dent of the general national association of the La
dies of the United States, and conducted the cor
respondence and animated the efforts under the
non de plume of her mother. Delicacy and pro
priety made this fit. Two circumstances of late
rendered it proper that she should appear in her
own character and name. The incorporation of
the Association by Virginia, of which she was no
minated Regent, an official public position, and
the necessity of transacting leg:-1 business under
real name was the most prominent. The indeli
cacy of Mr. Fuller, whose nom de plume is “ Belle
Rriltan,” and who was favored by being admitted
to an interview in connection with a call by the
English ballardist, Mr. Mackay, in exposing her
name with a facetious comment, precipitated the
step, which, under the advice of Mr. Everett, was
promptly taken.
Injustice has been done Mr. John A. Washing
ton. Mount Vernon was his properly, a portion of
a limited competency, and a man (surely has the
right, and it is his duty to well ‘-provide for his
own household. At a sacrifice of one hundred
thousand dollars, lie reserved Mount Vernon for
Virginia or the Federal Government at two hun
dred thousand dollars ; and when they finally did
not act, he sold to the Ladies of America for a
hallowed purpose at that price, rejecting at such
sacrifice all other offers. Yes, and trusting their
efforts, too for more than half the money.
The numerous mistakes of the press on these
particulars have elicited this article.
Our Terms for ‘-Puffs".
We go in strong for the principle that every
benefit which we rnay confer upon our fellow man
through the|columns of tbeSPunch, should bring us
suitaole remuneration. Therefore, all persons, no
matter what may be their business, who may de
sire us to‘-puff” them, will govern themselves ac
cordingly. Wine merchanrs are notified that their
address and a basket of champagne will always
ensure them a first-rate notice; no matter how in
ferior may be the articles which they usu
ally sell, so long as what they send us is good, it
is all right. Fashionable tailors, boot-makers and
hatters will be accommodated with our measure for
goods in their various departments, it being un
derstood that we are to “blow” for them to the full
extent of/our atmosphereric capacity\Tofcigar(deal
ers we would intimate that we prefer the mild
Havanas ; and not only the cigars, but the sen
ders of them, willjbe duly puffed. Miscellaneous
articles of every kind—such as salt pork, opera
glassess, pickled onions, piano fortes wheelbarrows
nanny and billy goats, bouquets and boot-jacks—
will be thankfully received in exchange"for favora
ble notices. Patent medicines and bed-bug exter
minators will not be noticed unless accompanied
by the soap.” All public exhibitions will be puf
fed sky high, provided that we are allowed free
admission at ail times, for ourselves, our aunts, un
cles, cousins, and, in short, our whole tribe, inclu
ding a vast circle of acquaintances, and our bull
dog ; therefore, gentlemen, send in your favors—

are very characteristic of lhat gentleman.
“Take something to drink ?” said his friend to
him one day.
“No, thank you,” replied Mr. B.
“No! why not!” inquired his friend in great
amazement.
“In the first place,’’ returned Mr. Brandytody,
“I am secretary of a temperance society thatmeeis
to-day, and I must preserve my temperance char
acter. In the second place, this is the anniversary
of my father’s death, and out of respect to him I
have promised never to drink on this day. And
in the third place, I have just taken something.
A Costly Tongue. —A. D. Young, of Flatbush,

Can’t Write their own Wills.— Lord St
Leonard, in his “Handy Book,” says—“l could,
without difficulty, run over the m-m-sos many
judges and lawyers of note whose wills made by
themselves have been set aside, or cons rued so as
to defeat every intention they ever had.”
Mr. Toomb’s Bankruptcy Bill.
The following is an abstract of the bill to estab
. llstt a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout

, ses—the voluntary and involuntarv ; the former

fourth in number and value of the creditors file
their written dissent. It also provides minutely
against frauds, and specifies the course to be pur
sued in appeals.
Section 5. The property of bankrupts is to be
divided pro rata. Preference is only given to debts
due the United States; to sureties who are entitled
to preference by laws of Congress, and laborers in
the employ of the bankrupt to an amount not ex
ceeding twenty-five dollars.

The Palmetto FLAG.-Under the caption, “Who
was the Hero ?” the Savannah News, construing
Gen. Quitman’s assertion that Coi. Gladden had
handed him the flag that was planted upon the
wall of Mexico, into injustice to Lieutenant Sel
leck, makes some remarks in vindication of the
claims’ of the latter. The News is right in suppos
ing that the “gallant old Mississippian” did not in
tentionally do injustice to the memory of Lt. Sel
ieck. The statement in reference to Colonel Glad
den is true, so is that of the News as to Lieut. Sel
leck’s conduct.
The facts are briefly thus, says the Caroliaian:
When they reached the walls. General Quitman
called for a flag, whereupon Col. Gladden rode to
the centre of the regiment, caught up the colors,
and carried them to Gen. Quitman, who gave them
to Lieut. Selieck, and he displayed them up on the
walls, and was wounded while in the act. Gen. Quit
man, in his statement, did full honor to both. The
News is mistaken in supposing that any collision
exists as to the credit due these twosoldiers.—Char
leston Courier:
Transport of Africans to French West Indies-
The great irregularity of the West African
mail steamers has of late interrupted the current
of the history of the notorious Regis contract for
supplying the French West Indies with purchased
Africans. The last arrivals, however, put us in
possession of some additional facts quite conclu
sive as to the character of this traffic. Subsequent
ly to the news that the Portugese authorities had
refused to allow the French purchase of negroes
within the limits of the province of Angola, our
readers may recollect that advices from the West
Indies announced the arrival in the Freneh Antil
les of one of M. Regis’s ships, with a cargo of 800
Africans,loo of whom lost their lives in an attempt
to land them. But hitherto there has been notn
ing positively known as to where this unhappy
hatch of negroes was obtained. The African mail
just arrived fills up this hiatus in the melancholy
and miserable tale. It seems that the Stella, af
ter being joined bv another ship, the Clara, pro
ceeded beyond the territorial limits of Angola, and
there found barracoons filled with slaves belong
ing to the Cuban characters of various Americans
vessels, which had been seized (equipped for the
traffic, bat without national papers on hoard) and
sent tothe Vice Admirably Court of Sierra Leone
for adjudication. A bargain was soon struck with
the agents in charge of the barracoons. Eight
hundred of these slaves, who had been captured
in the regular course of the internal slave trade,
and brought down to the coast for exportation.were
bought for the Stella, and 400 for the Clara. Os
the 800 purchased for the Stella, 600 were ship
ped in one day; so hurried and unscrupulous were
the French agents engaged in this disgusting and
cruel transaction. The only thought or care they
had was whether the negroes they drove from the
barracoons on board the ship were in physical
plight to hear a voyage across the Atlantic. That
ascertained, into the hold and between the decks
they were thrust, wilh an expedition that defies
all Spanish competition or rivalry. And from the
slave barracoons southward of Angola, on the west
coast of Africa, these 1200 neoroes were carried
by the contractors of the imperial government of
France to Martinique and Guadaioupe. What
may have been the mortality of the middle passage
is not stated. But it is known from other sources
that 100 ol the Africans so bought were swamped
and perished on the coast of one of those islands.
Let us therefore assume that of the 1200 thus ob
tained only one thousand safely reached the
French colonies. On their arrival, the contractor
would, by the terms of his agreement with the im
perial government, become entitled to $20,000. —
Now, in what one singular particular we ask, dors
this operation differ from an ordinary slave trade
adventure, punishable as felony by the laws of ev
ery civilized country, and denounced as a crime
against God and man by the Congresses of Vienna
and Verona? —London News.
Judge Loring-.
The appointment of Judge Loring to the va
cancy on the bench of the Court of Claims was
opportune and appropriate. His decision on the
fugitive slave Burns, created an unwarrantable
prejudice against him in the Legislature of Massa
nJvveaAnc utAiSi'oua ui iin- eOuivs ui ruasSA
chusetts, and other State tribunals, and also the
decisions, in similar cases, of United States Circuit
Courts and the Supreme Court of the U. States.—
He merely declared what the law was, and reman
ded Burns back to servitude, as in duty bound. —
With such high, übiquitous and overwhelming
precedents before him, it would have been strange,
if he had come to any other conclusion.
Now, if he had committed an error of judgment
it was not necessarily a cause for impeachment.—
Errors of'judgment are liable to occur any day
among judges ot the lower courts. They are the
proper subjects for the revision of higher courts
of appeal. It is the glory of our institutions that
if, perchance, an error is committed in a court be
low, there is a higher court of appeal to correct it.
Hence the reason of our whole system of courts
of error. But it so happened in this case, that
Judge Loring’s decision was not overruled by
arty higher judicial court. On the contrary, his
legal doctrine has since been affirmed by the Uni
ted States Supreme Court. But, in consequence
of his course in this case, he was removed from
office by the authorities of Massachusetts.
The President, without any personal application
on his part, thought proper to appoint him to the
vacant seat in the Court of Claims, and the nom
ination was approved by the Senate.
Judge Loring is a gentleman, in the vigor of life
and usefulness. For many years he was a prac
lioner at the bar, and universally respected as
such. On account of his legal attainments he
was appointed a professor of the law school in
Harvard University. He was also, for some
years Judge of Probate to the general satisfaction
of that community. He is,in fact, an accomplish
ed lawyer, a learned judge, and an upright citizen
in ali the walks of life. He is therefore, likely to
be a valuable accession to the Court of Claims,
and his appointment does credit to the sagacity of
the President.— Washington States.
Diplomacy of Love.
The Washington correspondent of the N. York
Express details the following story, which he says
is creating considerable gossip in the diplomatic
and fashionable circles of the National Metropolis”
An attache of the Spanish embassy has long been
an ardent admirer of the only daughter of a reti
red banker of Washington—or, at least of the
“beaux yeax de sa cassetted’ The father, for rea
sons easily conjectured by all prudent parents, for--
bade the Spanish cavalier his house. The cava
lier retired to his lodgings, and wrote the banker
a challenge, but could find no one to deliver it.
On Tuesday night last, the banker was dining
with Mr. Slidell, who occupies the next house to
his own, on Lafayette Square. While partaking
of Mr. Slidell’s hospitality, his servant came and
informed him that two persons were hanging
about his house in a suspicious manner. The
banser, whom we will call Mr. C., requested his
friend, Senator Bright, who was of the party, to ac
company him, and proceeded with that gentleman
to his own residence.
As he entered the hall, he met his daughter in
the hall, and proceeding to the picture gallery,
which was lighted only by the hall lamp which
shone through the doorway, he found a man snugly
ensconsced under the piano forte. Seizing him
by the collar, he dragged him from his hiding
place, and discovered him to be no less a personage
than the Spanish attache! He discovered thatthe
aforesaid Spaniard was armed with a six-barreled
revolver, which he took from him, and then kicked
him incontinently into the street. As he opened
the door for this purpose, he discovered another
person of the same “tribe” lurking about the en
trance.
At the present writing the diplomatic corps are
represented as sympathizing with the attache. —
If this be true, it only proves their esprit de corps
to be greater than tbeir sense of decorum. What
other late does any man deserve who skulks into
your house under cover of the night, with arms
in his hands, and when about to be discovered,
secretes himself like a burglar or an incendiary ?
Our citizens, generally, who are cognizant of this
affair, commend the decisive action of Mr. C., as
will every American father who wishes to protect
his daughter from the machinations of designing
foreigners, reeking with the vices ot the corrupt
courts of Europe.

Resumption Prospects in Charleston.
The following, from the Mercury of Wednesday,
gives the latest intelligence of the movements of
the Charleston Banks:
Bank Resumption. —The community will be
gratified to learn that, yesterday afternoon, after a
discussion of the matter by th* Presidents of non
specie paying banks of Charleston, it was deemed
advisable not to resume specie payments before
July. The time for resuming is not fixed, at the
period indicated, the subject, as we understand,
will again come up for consideraiicn. The condi
tion of the banks and of the people—the amount
of specie on hand, and the residue of exchange left
on the one hand, with the wants of the community
to be met with on the other, will then, as now, in
fluence the action of the olfficers in charge, for it
is held that, under the circumstances, both morals
and honor require of the banks a careful regard to
the public weal. Good faith towards the Stale in
reference to her late legislative enactments, reliev
ing the banks from the consequences of misfor
tunes brought upon them by northern connections,
in order to shield the people from the effects of
undue stringency in the money market, which
would otherwise have followed, requires circum
spection as to the results of premature resump
tion, upon the community.
Murder in Harris.
We learn from a gentleman from Harris county,
that on Tuesday of last week, a difficulty occurred
at Whitaker’s Cross Roads Precmct, in Harris
county, between John W. Myhand and Burton A.
Brooks, which resulted in the death, on Saturday
last, of the former. The circumstances as related
to us were substantially as follows: A dispute
had arisen between the parties, in which some
pretty hard words were used on either side, but by
the interference of friends, they were prevented
from coming to blows, after which Myhand walked
off, when Brooks picked up a club near by, and
concealing it beneath his coat, followed in pursuit,
and while Myhand was standing talking with some
gentlemen near by, Brooks came up, and drawing
the club from beneath his coat, dealt Myhand a
blow over the side of the forehead, severely frac
turing his skull, and causing his death as above
stated. Brooks has been arrested, and is now in
jail.— Sun.
From the Atlanta Intelligencer, May 15.
The Stabbing at the Military Institute.
The letter of Col. Brumby gives an authentic
account of the difficulty which took place a few
days ago, between two Cadets. We are glad to
be able to publish it, in order to correct the numer
ous rumors afloat on the subject.
Georgia Militarv Institute. )
May 13th, 1858. (
Mu. J. W. Duncan :—Dear Sir: I notice in the
“Atlanta Daily Intelligencer ” of this date, a state
ment, (‘‘brought down by the passengers on the
State road” to Atlanta,) relative to the stabbing of
cadetj 3 . T. Manning, by cadet Jesse Beall.
To'prevent incorrect rumors about this sad oc
currence, I beg you .to publish the following brief
statement of the facts.
Cadet Manning is the Ist Lieutenant of Compa
ny A, and the Inspector of one division of the
Company. After tattoo, on the night ot the 11th
inst, and after inspecting the rooms of his divis
ion, he went to the guard room and informed the
“offii-er of the day” (cadet D. H. Twiggs,) in the
presence of the officer of the guard and several
other cadets, that two cadets intended going out
of the bounds tiiat night. The officer of the day
asked Manning to give him their names, (it being
the duty of the officer of the day to prevent cadets
leaving the premises without the permission from
the property authority,) but Manning declined giv
i*>it tlioir Duo ..
port to Twiggs, informed Beall of the fact, and ad
vised him not to go out of bounds that night. The
next morning, immediately after breakfast, cadet
Beall went to cadet Manning, in the presence of
a large numbe’ of cadets, and asked him if he re
ported to the officer of the day, the night previous,
that two cadets intended going out ot bounds ?
Manning answered that he did. Beall replied with
an oath, and in very insulting language: which
Manning resenting by striking Beall with his fist.
Beall stepped hack, and while Manning continued
to strike one or two other blows with his fist, Beall
drow his dirk and stabbed him.
I was informed of the fact in a few moments after
it occurred, but before I could go from my resi
dence to the Institute, Beall escaped.
It was Manning’s duty, as a commissioned offi
cer, to give the officer of the day the information
reported to him ; but as the two cadets had not yet
committed the offence which they contemplated, he
acted prudent and like a good officer, in declining
to give their names.
It is due to the cadets and to the Institution to
add, that this Is the first instance, so far as I know,
in which a cadet has used a deadly weapon.
Very respectfully yours obedient servant,
A. V. Brumbt, Supt,, &c.
P. S. The statement in your paper that Beall had
liquor and invited Manning to drink with him, is
incorrect.
“Sons of Malta” in Macon. —About forty mem
bers of the above organization came up from Sa
vannah last Saturday to initiate the infant Lodge
of Macon. They were received by their brethren
here with the utmost cordialitv, and were very hos
pitably entertained. Wfe had the honor of being
invited to a collation, in the morning, gotten up in
the most admirable style at the elegant saloon of
C. A. Ells & Son. After the company had indul
ged in the dainties bountifully spread before them,
James A. Nisbet, Esq., proposed a well received
and happily expressed sentiment, bespeaking feel
ings of friendship between the sister cities, Macon
and Savannah; then came the flow of champagne,
the cracking of jokes, the telling of stories, ana the
drinking of toasts Our Savannah friends said
many good things, and proved themselves “first
rate fellows;” in fact, we have never, in the same
number, found as many clever and intelligent men.
There was not a‘swell-head’ among them—though
rumor says that when they left here, some of them
found their hats most too small.
In the afternoon a finely prepared and sumptu
ous dinner was given at the Lanier House, where
Dr. E. C. Williamson presided, assisted in the offi
ces of hospitality by other members of the Macon
Lodge. The “Sons” afterwards repaired to their
hall, and performed their mysterious rites. What
are the purposes of this Society, we are unable
to say ; nor is it anybody’s business. All we know
is that the members are worthy and respectable
citizens. Success to them.— Stale Press.
falP’Punch states that there are two taxes that
would be cheerfully sqjjmitted to—a tax on beau
ty and a tax on intellect. He adds:
The beauty tax would be cheerfully paid by all
ladies, even by those who might be exempted, ei
ther from old age, obliquity ot vision, freckles, or
any other disqualification: and the intellect tax
would meet with the same large success amot gst
men. You would find intellectual dwarfs and
pigmies—persons who believe in the lies of quack,
doctors, ot put faith in the prospectuses of bubble
banks and cheap clothes (the one bursting just as
quickly as the other) and the like class of weak
minded fools and idiots—all paying their contri
butions with a smiling countenance, sooner than
be suspected of possessing no intellect at all.
Which is the deepest, the longest, the broadest,
and the smallest grave in this church-yard ?” said a
pedestrian to his companion, whiiet mediating
among the tombs at Esher. “Why,” replied he, “it
is that in which Miles Button is buried ; for it is
miles below the sod, miles in ledgtb, miles ic
breadth, and yet, after all, it is but a Button-hole.”
JSTR is rumored that Mr. Rarey, the American
horse-tamer, uses a file of congressional speeches
to subdue the refractory animals put under his
charge. After reading ab <ut a quarter of an hour,
the quadruped gives in, and promises an entire
amendment of morals and manner if he will only
stop.
