THE FAITHFUL DOG.
*y Mrs. n. 6.
The attachment manifested by
the canine race lor their owners,
their sagacity & faithfulness, have
been the theme of numberless sto
ries, and many are led to believe
them endowed with the same rea
soning powers as ourselves. It is
neither to assert to this opinion,
nor yet to attempt confuting it,
that the following incidents are
penned—but to record an instance
which transpired under my imme
diate observation, of their devotion
and fidelity.
It will be remembered that A1 i
bama was originally a part of Mis
sissippi territory. Its contiguity
to Georgia and the Carolinas in
duced numberless families from
those States to ye move there. The
route pursued by them led through
the Cherokee nation, and like the
lsrcilite< of old, the emigrants ex
perienced difficulties in reaching
safely the land of promise.
In some seasons of the year, the
rivers and creeks are swollen by
the frequent r ins as to render
them trou lesome. It was during
one of those periods that a family,
consisting of a man, his wife and
four children left North Carolina
to settle themselves at Cahawba,
the original seat of government, 6c
in crossing some srteam, they were
upset, and precipitated, with all
their earthly goods, into the water.
With Inc greatest difficulty, he
head of (he family succeeded in
securing his wife, and three of the
children, together with the wagon
and horses, from their perilous sit
uation—but the baby, with the
principal part of the baggage hid
gone to the bottom. Half distrac
ted, the mother bethought of en
deavoring to rescue the child, and
holding up one of its little frocks,
she directed their dog, of the New
foundland breed, to seek for it at
the spot in which it was believed
to have perished. Diving under the
water, the dog disappeared. The
most intense distress was of course
experienced, with faint hopes of
his ultimate success ; but in a few
seconds the agitation of the water
announced h s coming, and the
dog arose to the surface w ith the
child, holding his clothes firmly
gripped between his teeth,& swim
ming v ith it to the land, deposited
it safely at the feet of its mother
By the untiring exertions of the
parents the child was restored to
life again, and without further de
tention they arrived safe at their
destination.
Until the accident, the dog had
never manifested any particular at
tachment for the child, hut from
the time of rescuing it from a wa
tery grave the animal act and as if
he considered it under his own
superintending charge. It would
never leave it. Sleeping or wa
king, it sat crouching beside the
child, w ho soon discovered for the
dog a proportionable degree of af
fection.
The mother soon died from the
effects of the banelul fever of the
country —then followed one of the
children, then another, and yet an
other, and the only remaining sur
vivors of the once happy family,!
were the father, the child and the
faithful attached dog.
And now the storms of fate gath
ered around this poor offspring of
misfortune. The father sunk un
der the weight of his accumlated
misfortunes, and fell into intempe
rate habits. '1 he child was neg
lected, left for hours to the com
panionship of his dog, & the lone
liness of its own melancholy lot—-
young as it was, for it was then
only three years of age, it w.ts
suffered to wander where it listed,
and it a ould stroll in the woods
far away from its home, with no
one to guide its course but its own
childish fancies, secure in the pro
tection of its mute attendant. I
have seen it sleeping beneath a
hedge, its innocent pillowed
upon the faithfnl creature, its little
arms twined round its neck.
For more than a year they led
this kind of itinerant life ; and as
they always returned ere nightfall,
and the boy grew in strength, the
father took little heed of either.
There was something remarka
ble about the dog and child. Both
seemed to shun communion w ith
their kind, attaching themselves
to each other. When weary it oc
casionally sought its dessolate
home ; and if pressed by hunger,
stopped on the way to solicit from
some charitable neighbor for a
slice of bread. Food was never
refused it, either for itself or the
friend accompanying it.
At length the child sickened and
died also, ow ing probably to some
exposure and neglect When the
neighbors went in to administer to
its necessities during its illness, it
was always found King with its
head resting upon the do£fs shag
gy neck, with one of its arms
twisted round it, and thus it drew
its latest breath.
The child was buried, and from
this time the dog dn oped & pined
away. N o efforts were lound suc
cesslul to lure him from the grave.
The food with which he was daily
supplied remained untasted until
one morning the miserable father
who lived to see Ins household
destroyed, his hearth desolated,
found the little mound which cov
ered the child, scratched up to a
considerable depth with the lifeless
remains of the faithful dog lying in
the cavity.
TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF
• GENERAL HARRISON.
The loilowing interesting oc
currence is related in the St. Louis
Republican of the 2otli July.
The steamers, jjepubhc 6c Nor
way arrived here yesterday, hav
ing on board the tribe of Wyan
dots, consisting of C-JO men, wo
men and children, moving from
Lower Sandusky, in the .>tate of
Ohio, to t .eir new home which
they have selected on the Iv uisas
river, near the western frontier of
the State. They are mguoJ health,
ami appeared cheerful.
Many of the braves were with
General Harrison during the last
war ; and boast of their prowess at
the battle of Fort .Meigs, i hey
entertained for t le memory of the
“White Chief” the highest venera
tion, as is evinced b\ the following
affecting incident, which was rela
ted to us by Captain Claghorn, of
the Nodaway. Before tin: boat
reached North Bend, the principal
chief requested (Japt. Clagnorn to
have tile “big gun” loaded, and as
the boat neared that hallowed spot,
tue chiefs and braves silcn ly until
ered upon the hurricane root, and
formed in line fronting the resting
place of their departed caief. The
engine was stopped, and the boat
was suffered to unit with the cur
rent. As she passed the tomb they
all uncovered, and gently waved
tiicir hats in silence ; and after
the boat had passed, and the re
port of the cannon had died away,
the chief stepped forward, and, m
an impressive manner, exclaimed,
“Farewell, Ohio and her Grave.”
A MONSTROUS NEGRO.
We find m the Louisville Daily
Advertiser, the following curious
account of a giant negro.
“Died, yesterday morning, at the
Exchange Hotel m this city, a ne
gro boy, the property of Mr. An
drew 11. Jordan, of Columbus,
Miss. We visited him after he had
been shrouded, in company with
his master, from whom we receiv
ed the following remarkable details
concerning him. He was tour years
old m April last, and four feet one
inch m heigiith : was born in Mis
sissippi of parents in no respect re
markable lor any deviation from
the ordinary size,and temperament
ol their respective sexes —nothing
| unusual in person or mind, distil”
i guislied him, until lie completed
Ins first year ; when he began de
veloping in a manner that excited
the astonishment of all who saw
him.
His gray hair grew with surpri
sing rapidity over his entire body
and lace, giving him whisliers and
board as luxuriant as an aduli.—
His body assumed the mucular de
velopments of athletic manhood,
his strength enabling him at lour
years ot age, to lilt 200 pounds
dead weight, w ith ease. 11 is mind
was clear aud strikingly vigorous
and his character distinguished for
integrity and generosity. We ex
amined his corpse and were aston
ished at tiie symmetry and enor
moiio strength ot his proportions.
A Grenadier might have envied the
fullness ol Ins' whiskers on cheek
and chin, and a Demagogue con
sented to be honest with the inge
nious express on ot Ins counten
ance. 11 is hands and feet were
more taper and symmetrical than
uuy ot h;s race we ever saw. He
fell a victim to pleurisy, and the
eminent medical aid called in his
relief, were fully persuaded of the
accuracy of -Mr. Jordan's statement
ol his a*zo.
Tue Lord’s Prayer —The fol
lowing passage by -Montgomery is
very beautiful :
“How many millions and mill
ions of times has that Prayer been
ottered by Christians of all denom--
iuations ? So wide, indeed, is the
sound thereof gone forth, that
daily, ami almost without inter
mission, from the ends of the
earth, and afar upon the sea, it is
ascending to heaven like incense,
and a pure offering. Nor needs it
the gilt . f prophecy to foretell
that though “heaven 6c earth shall
pass away,’* these words of our
blessed Lord ‘shall not puss away,
till every petition has been an
swered—till the kingdom of God
shall come, and his will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.”
A DVERTISEMKNTS.
PROSPECTUS
OF THE
souths'tv QUAit r.;m,Y review.
This work has now been a year before the public,
during' winch period its repu.ati. n has been so euc
tessiully established, and its circulation so widely
extended, as to justily the hopj and belief that it will
long continue to he one of the principal organs of
S iuthe.ru Pohtica. Interests, and one of tile clue! or
naments of S luthcru Literature. Tue brilliant
eltaiacterof the la e Southern Review shed around
Ch.i.l sto i and the South, a halo which will not soon
be iorgo.ten j the SouUiern Quarterly has risen, al
ter many toilsome etforts, from t.s ashes, and it i»
trus 0,l that it will prove itself a worthy successor of
theglo yuf the former. Nothing more is now re
quisite to ensure us permanence Hiatt the conuuued
and cordial support of the inhabitants of the South
ern poni ms of the Union; and an appeal is cotifi
demlv made to the geuerous and patriotic feelings
of all S mtheriiers, not to suffer the present Review
to languish fr mi the want ol that sustenance which
they cat. so well a.ford.
In its political character this Review will he Dem
ocratic, and while avoiding carefully schims merely
local in their nature, it wi 1 strenuously uphold South
ern Interests, and advocate all questions of uatio al
importance with boldness and freedom. It is not in
tended, however, absolutely to exclude all articles
m lintaining principles diiferem from our own; hut if
otherwise worthy of ad mission, they will he inserted
with a notice that the L htorsid > not hold themselves
responsible for the doctrines a.leged. All relig.ous
discussions of a sectarian ua.ure will be seduously
eschewed, and the Review will preserve a perfect
impartiality towards ah religious denominations.
Too work will be primed on the best paper, and
with rhe best type, and every exertion will ue made
to render it worthy of the patronage of the putrlic
generally. It will he issued quarterly from Charles
ton, in January, April, July and October; and ar.ange
ments have been made, since its remobal to this city,
to insure rhe regular and punctual delivery of every
nu über U3 it appears, so Hut no disappointment may
hareafter arise from a.iy failure in this respect.
Mr. Ritchie having withdrawn trout the work, the
Subscrlicr, in order that more time and attention
may be devoted to its improvement, and to the accu
racy and excellence of each numoer, has associated
with himse'l in the Editorial management ol the
Review, that distinguished scholar, G. Frederick
Holmes, Esq. of Orangeburg, and every effort will
he made on tne part ol both to give every satisfaction
to its patrons.
In consequence of the removal of the Southern
Review to Charleston, and the reduction in the ex
penses of priming and publishing attendant thereon,
the piice of the work will henceforward be reduced
from Ten Dollars to Five Dollars, payable annually
in advance. Tue fifth number, which will com
mence another year, will appear early in January,
1313, for wliii h abundant material have been already
procur. and. Many of the best writeis and most pro
found scholars of the country have already pledgi and
theinse ves to furnish articles for the ensuing year,
and the list of contributors is daily increasing in
talent, in respectability and in number.

This is to certify, that J have been afflicted with
Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint,
and Cosliveness for the last eight or nine years, du
ring which time I had taken, as well as 1 recollect,
about sixty boxes of Beckwith’s Pills, twelve boxes
ol Peters’ Pills, and a number of boxes of Champion’s
and Brandrcth’s Pills, all of which afforded me hut
little or no relief. At last, I was recommended to
try Dr. Spencer’s Vegetable Pills, and well I did; for
Inev r had hut one attack of the Sick Headache af
ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about six
months) and J candidly confess, that I have derived
more real benefit from the u<e of Spencer’s Pills,
than from all the other Medicines and Pills that I
have ever taken, and I would earnestly recommend
them to all, as being in my opinion, the l>est medi
cine in use for all lingering complaints. The Pills
have done me so much good, that 1 would not feel
willing to be • ithout them for five dollars a box ; and
1 cannot but feel very gra’eful to Dr. Spencer for
having prepared such a valuable medicine, and the
dtstr hu ion of it is conferring a very great favor on
the public, as it is a thing of the utmost importance
that every family should have a supply of Dr. Spen
cer’s truly valuable Prlls constantly on hand.

This is to certify, that I have used Dr. Spencer’s
Vegetable Pills in toy family for the last six months,
and I consider them the best Pil's I ever used. I
was app rimed an agent for the sale of them about
six months ago, at which irne the travelling agent
left me about one hundred boxes, and 1 ha> e sold
out every box long since, and could have sold as
many more if they had been left. I think every
family should keen a supp y always on hand. 1 have

To Dr. Spencer;
Dear Sir —I have used your Vegetable Pills in my
family the lot year with great success, and I co sill
er them the best P.ll I ever used. I have made con
siderable use of many other popular Pills, but 1 am
convinced that yours arc superior to any of them.
Fo Sick Headache, they are an excellrct medicine.
For Bowel Complaint, I think them the best medi
cine in the world, and also for the Bloody oelrrx. I
ran say to you that I made great use of them last
season. I had twenty of my Marks sick with the
Flux, and 1 administered your Pills freely, and 1 did
not loose a single case. My neighbors speak in the
highest terms of them. Respectfully Vours,

ness, by brine* obliged to pay the enormous nrice of
One Dollar and Fifty Cents fora Box of PILLS, or
a B.,He of MIXTURE, to cure CHILLS AND
FEVERS, and other distressing* complaints : Now,
therefore, know ye, that an effeetual means , f reli- f
have hee»i discovered in DR. HULL'S VEGET
ABLE FEVER and AGUE, and ANTI-FEVER
PILLS; which are ottered by the Proprietors and
their Agent® at the low prire of only One Dollar per
Bor— from 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper than the majori
ty of all other med vines for the cure of such com
plaints; and as to (he comparative ssfety with which
they can be taken, together with the simplicity of
their componentryrts (which are entirely vegetabb )t
and the real value of Hull’s P.Us, as adapted to, the
wants of the community, there can he no loasror the
least doubt of their great superiority over ail othen

also as a remedy in Fevers of every dbscription.
It is particularly worthy of remark, that out of up

a single ta3c has come t.* the knowledge of the pro

these pills are no 11 qnack medicine they are the
scientific preparation of experi need medical mm,
who, after having prepared this important recipe,
most positively declared that from all the discoveries
up to the present time, in medical science, they saw
no way by which they could possibly be improved, or
made in anv way more effectual .n the cure of those
complaints for which they are recommended: so that
the happy combination of the ingredients and their
proportions are such as to produce a medicine which
never fails to relieve when relief is a: all attainable.
Upwards of one thousand certificates might here bo
added, of important cures effected-by this medicine t
but it is not necessary to publish them, as a single
trial of the Pills is more satisfactory evidence than a
volume of printed tesiimonia's. We would, howev

families in this State, who it is thought have experi
enced their efficacy, and übo would bear ample tes
