THE BATTLE OF TRENTON. The night was intensely cold, and wc Were delayed many hours longer than had been anticipated, by an accumulation of ice in the river. And here, if you would good notion of the countenance of Washington at this tice—the most event ful and trying moment of his life. I would recommend that you study a pic ture just painted by Mr. Sully of Phila delphia, upon this subject. He has boen singularly happy ; and when I recollect the face of Washington as he reined up, for half an hour, within pistol shot of me, it appears to me that some man must have painted it who was with us at that time. Before we came down to the fer ry, there was an awful solemnity, dark ness and repose in it. But there, when in sight of the troops, as they were sev erally embarking, every man of whom, so long as the lace of their commander could be seen, even after the boats had put off, kept his eyes upou it, it was full of a.loftier, more animated, youthful and heroic expreision of encouragement aud confidence. You have heard of Gen. Knox, (then colonel) apd of his stentorian voice, i assure you that no justice can be done to him or it; my ears rang for a fortnight after, at the same hour of the night; and do yet, when 1 remember how he gallop ed about, cursing, swearing, dismounting evary five minutes, and lilting his own nrtilerv, like a giant. He was a gallant fellow, full of blood, with all the blunt, strong, New England hardihood. And Green, too, he was there, the only man of all our armies, capable, I believe, in case of any disaster, to take the place of Wash ington : there he sat, full of deep reli gious composure, his broad forehead fronting the fires, that were kindled near the place of embarkation. At last, though not until three o'clock in the morning, we were fairly landed tipon the Jersey shore, and by five had taken up our line of march. Our whole army passed softly and si lently, by two or three officers, posted upon the road side, continually waving their swords, with a motion as if to en join the most deathlike stillness; and deathlike it was, for nothing could be heard, but ihe blowing of horses, a jolt ing sound now and then in the wet snow, where the artilery wagons and gun car riages cut through into the ground, and a general rush, as of deep, heavy water. A few moments after, a troop of Vir ginians, under Capt. Washington (after wards so distinguished at the South) par aded in beautiful style through the heavy snow, and brought us intelligence which tended to accelerate our march. Before Iris arrival, we had hoped (as I afterwards found) to surprise the enemy at Trenton, while yet overpowered by festivities of the preceding night—and make his morn ing sleep, the sleep of death—but now that hope was abandoned, for Captain Washington had encountered his picket, exchanged a few shots, and left him pre pared lor, what it is remarkable he had heard a vague rumor of, our intended at tack. Yet this very affair, which at first threatened to be disastrous, the frolic of Capt. Washington, was probably the chief reason why he succeeded in surprising the enemy at last; for, as that was not followed up, he retired to quarters, after waiting a reasonable time, as we after wards found, thinking the whole a Vir ginia row. Our troops were now thrown into two L divisions. We were separated from our father, who was detained under Sullivan and St. Clair to take the river road, while we, under Washington himself, Green, Morris, and Stephens, pushed onward through what is called the Pennington road. A few moments afterwards; just while I thought my heart had lost its motion entirely, for 1 felt in looking about me, and seeing the dark army of substantial, hut noiseless creatures, horses and wag ons—as if the whole army were an ap parition—a cavalcade of dead men, mar ching from one place of burial to anoth er—l heard a shot so near me that my iiorse leaped out of the ranks. This was followed by a loud cry—two or ijiree words—a volley, and then, shot after sboi, as if a line of sentinels, sleeping upon their posts, had suddenly started up, one after the other, tired cli' their pie ces and run in. Our advance were well furnished with bayonets, and they imme diately charged upon the picket, and we dashed after them, trampling them to death with our horses, riding over*them like a whirlwind, without speaking a ■word or firing a shot. This was done when we heard the firing of the other division, at the opposite quarter, so admi rably timed lmd been the arrangement, and we immediately galloped into the centre of the town, hoise and foot, de termined to ride thd enemy down or bay onet them, before they had time to form. "Washington was dreadfully exposed.— The first picket, thinking this a second attack of the same little skirmishing par ty that had lired into them before, neg lected to give the alarm; and the outposts, though they fought most gallantly, re trealms step by step behind the houses, disputing every inch, and presenting their bright bayonets, without a liash oi pow- wherever we rode in upon them, so that we could not, with all cutting and spurring, force our horses upon them, and then the moment that we had laced about, blazing away upon us, and run ning to the next house, were driven in. At last we had an opportunity lor fair play; the Hessians were formed; the whole force glittering with bayonets.- A tremendous struggle was going on at our light, under the very eye of Wash ington, with the enemy’s artilery, which was taken, when with a troop of horse Archibald rode down, his cap off, Ins sword flashing like a firebrand, in the light and smoke of the roaring musketry -—“Charge! charge!!'’ lie cried, “charge! my brave fellows, and provoke them to £tr« L” Another troop —another —and au- other—thundering down from the right and left, but with no effect at all upon the invincible Germans, front rank kneel ed all around while the reside forming, and presented their bayonets, without firing a shot. “ By Heaven,” said Archibald, shout ing as if his heart would break, to Capt. Washington, “By Heaven, 1 will try them again !” And as lie said so, he rode at full speed, so near that it appeared to me that he could have struck the enemy with his sword, and fired his pistol in their faces. Our front rank loilowed the example; at the next moment all the Hessians brought their pieces up to their cheeks, aud poured a tremendous volley upon us—l saw my father fall--Arthur reel in his stirrups—but Archibald, as if prepared for this very thing, shouted “ Wheel and charge !” “ Wheel and charge!” repeated a hun dred voices in our ear. We obeyed, and the snow flew, and the swords Hashed, and the next moment, a hundred of the enemy, the whole of his front rank were trampled to death beneath us, and twenty human heads rolled upon the ground, among the.feet of our horses. The infantry under Green poured in volley alter volley, at the same time; and Knox, having brought round his light field pieces to bear, as if they had been blunderbusses, playing in upon them, an interrupted roll ot thunder and smoke. It was impossible to stand it; no hu man beings could have the hur ricane of fire bullets longer, they threw down their arms, about one thousand men in all—and then—when it was ne cessary to move about the quieter opera tions of strife, we began to feel the in tense coldness of the night—the keen air cutting into our new wounds, like rough broken glass. From the- Watchman. In the year 1G53, Dr. John Wallis, a distinguished Professor in the University of Oxlord, in England, published an En glish Grammar of great merit. “Jt would liave been well,” says the great and learn ed Dr. Adam Clarke, “if subsequent grammarians of our language had made it their model.* Dr. W all is excelled in Etymology, for his habits, as a geometer, led him to sift every subject to its bottom, and trace every branch or even filament of language to its radix. He is the au thor of the verses under the word Twist er, in Dr. Johnson’s large Dictionary, which the Doctor calls remarkable, and says—“ they explain twist in all its sen ses.” Here are the verses alluded to, in which the word twist is so twisted hy infection and composition as to become many verbs, participles, adjectives, ad jectives, adverbs, synonymes, Ac. in a variety of forms, presenting some useful suggestions to teachers: “ When a twister, a twisting', will twist him a twist j For the twisting of liis twist, he three twines doth inlwist, But if oue of the twines of the twist do untwist, The twine that umw’isieth uuiwisictk the twist. “Untwirling the twine that untwisted between, The twirls with his twister the two in a twine ; Then twice having twisted the twines of the twine, He twitched the twine, he had twisted, in twain. “ The twain that in twining before in the twine, As twines were iutwisted, he now doth untwine; ’Twixt the twain intertwisting a twine mol e between, The twirling his twister makes a twist of the twine.” “1 question much,” says Dr. Clarke, “ whether there is a language in the uni verse, capable of such a variety of inflec tions, or which can afford so many terms and derivatives, all legitimate, coming front one radix, without borrowing a sin gle term front any other language.— There is not a word used above by Dr. Wallis, that is not pure Anglo-Saxon, not not oue exotic or foreign ; lor the peposi tiou inter, which might have been avoid ed, does not belong io the radix: and as for the preposition in, we have not bor rowed it trom the Latin, as some suppose, as it is a pure English word, and is found in many terms of the Anglo-Saxon. £ <- W hy is not such a language as tms better studied ! Why is it not studied analytically ? It is by its analysis that we can discover its force and strength. It is the language of every art and of every science, for there is none other,” says Dr. Clarke, one of the most profound English philosophers, “in which they can be so well and so intelligibly descri bed. And. above all other languages, it is that in which the sublime science of salvation can be best explained and illus trated, and the things of God most forci bly and effectually impressed upon the human mind.” * The Messrs. Picket’s English Grammar is based upon ihc principles laid down in this work. Their brief Etymological illustrations throw licht on the method ol teaching the Orthography, definition ul words, ami Syntax of our language, A woman worth HAVING.— A cor respondent writes us as follow?. W e are decidedly of his opinion as to the merit of such a woman, and we advise him, if he be a bachelor, to improve his acquaint ance with her :—Boston Post. “ There is a young woman with whom I have some acquaintance, who resides a few rods from the hourly office, in Cain bridgeport, who earns weekly, with her own hands, from ten to twelve dollars ; is the owner of two good houses, which she has earned by her own industry and frugality, by washing and ironing, and keeps her own house and household af fairs in perfect order. And in addition to this, I am credibly informed, has dis tricted more of her hard earnings, pri- to the | oor and needy, than many individuals who profess more. Such a woman is truly an ornament to any so ciety, and a pattern for the world, though oftentimes looked upon with disdain.” ,4i “Put money in thy purse.”— A man’s life was saved from the dirk of a robber, a short time since, by a silver half dollar in his waistcoat jocket.

These Pills have Jon»r been known and appreciated, for their extraordinary and immediate powetar of re storing’ perfect health to pe/sons suffering under nearly every kind of disease to which the human frame is liable. They are particularly recommended to all those persons who are afflicted with any kind of Chronic or lAngering Complaint , as there is no medicine before the public which has so natural and happy effect up on the system in correcting the sumach ad liver, and to the formation of healthy chyle and thereby purifying the blood. They are acknowledged by the hundreds and thousands who are using them, to be not only the most mild and pleasant in their operation, but the most perfectly innocent, safe anil efficient medicine ever offered to the public. Those who once make a trial of these Pills, neve r afterward feel w illing to be without them, ana rail again and a-rain for more? which is sufficii nt proof of their good qualities. m: Alf A CUE—SILK OH NERVOUS; Those who have suffered ad are Aeary of suffer ing with this distressing complaint, will find Spencer's Vegetable Pills j remedy at once certain ami immedi ate in ns effects. One single dose of the Pills taken soon a3 the headache is felt coming cure it in one half hour entirely. Asa remedy in Summer and Bowel Complaints, they display their wonderful powers to admiration, and are lar superior to any tiling in ust, lor thess complaints. In Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, they stand un rivalled. Many have been cured in a few weeks, after having suffered under the dreadful complaint for years. In Habitual Costiveness, they are decidedly supe rior to ar.y Vegretable Pill ever brought before the public ; and one 25 cent box will establish their sur prising viitues, and place them beyond the icach of doubt in the estimation of every individual. They are invaluable in nervous and hypochondria cal affections, loss of appetite, and all complaints to which females alone are subject. They are mild in their action, and convey almost immediate conviction of their utility from the first dose. They may be taken by persons of any age; and the feeble, the infirm, the nervous and delicate arc strengthened by their operation, because they clear the system of had humors, quiet nervous ins tability, and invariably produce sound health. Upwards of Three Hundred and Seventy Thous and Boxes of these inestimable Pills have sold wuhin the last twelve months in three States alone, and more than three times the same quantity iu oth er States. As an Anti-Billious Medicine, no family should be without them. A single trial of them is more satis factory than a thousand certificates. Cdl. IF 1C A TEN. [The following is from Mr. M. fhomas, Mer chant, at Talladega Springs, Alabama.] Talladega Springs, Talladega Cos. Ala. August 17, 1342. This is to certify, that I have been afflicted with Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint, and Costivcness for the last eight or nine years, du ring which time 1 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 Brandreth’s Pills, all of which afforded me but little or no relief. At last, I was recommended to try Dr. Spencer’s Vegetable Pills, and treU I did; for luev r hud hut one attack ol the Sick Headache af ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about six months) and 1 candidly confess, that 1 have derived more real benefit from the Uie ol Spencer’s Pills, than from all the other Medicines and Pills that 1 have ever taken, and 1 would earnestly recommend them to all, as being m my opinion, tiie best medi cine in use for all lingering complaints. The Pills have done ine so much good, that I would notice! Willing to be without them for five dollars a box; and I cannot but feel very grateful to Dr. Spencer lor having prepared such a valuable medicine, and the distribution of it is conferring a very irreat favor on the public, as it is a thing of the utmost impoitante that every family should have a supply of Dr. Spen cer’s truly valuable Pills constantly on hand. ISAAC M. THOMAS. [From Mr. Adam Riser, a popular Merchant in Talla dega County, Alabama.} Kiser’s Store, Talladega Cos., Ala. ) * August IG, 1342. > This is to certify, that I have used l)r. Spencer’s Vegetable Pills iu my family for the last six months, and I consider them the best Pil s 1 ever used. 1 was appointed an agent for the sale of them about -ix months ago, at which time the travelling agent left me about one hundred boxes, and 1 hd» e sold out every box long since, and could have sold as many more if they had been left. I think every family should keep a supp y always on hand. J have never sold Pills in my stoic that have been liked so well as Spencer’s Vegetable Pills. ADAM RISER. [From a very respectable Planter in Washington County, Alabama.] Washington Cos., Ala., March 8, 1313. To Dr. Spencer: Dear Sir—l have used your Vegetrdde Pills in my family the 1 *st year with great success, and I consid er them the best Pill I ever used. I have made con siderable use of many other popular Pills, but 1 am convinced that yours are superior to any of thorn. For Sick Headache* they are an excellent medicine. For Bowel Complaint, I think them the best medi cine in the world, and also for the Bloody celirx. I can say to you tiiat I made great use of them last season. I had twenty of my blacks 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 yours, JESSE JORDAN. [important caution) - . A PROCLAMATION. To the Citizens nf Georgia: VVHEttEAS, lor several years past, the £ood Peo ple of this S ate have been grjatly. and very seri ously imposed upon in times of suffering* and sick ness, by bring- obliged to pay the enormous price of One Dollar and Fifty Cents for a Box of FILLS , «»r a Bottle of MIXTURE , to cure CHILLS AMD FEVERS, and other distressing complaints : Now, therefore, know ye, that an effectual means . f reli* f have been discovered in DR. HULL'S VEGET ABLE FE VER and A GUE , and ASTI FEVER FILLS; which are offered by the Proprietors and their Agents a t the low price of only One Dollar per Box— from 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper than the majori ty of all other med.cinea for the* cure of such com plaints; and as to the comparative safety with which they can be taken, together with the simplicity of their component'parts (which are entirely vegetable) and the real value of Hull’s Pills, as adapted to the wants of the community, there can be no longer the least doubt of their great superiority over all othei medicines, not only in their superior properties in the safe and speedy cure of Chills and Fevers, hut also a3 a remedy in Fevers of every description. It is particularly worthy of remark, that out of up wards of Twenty Thousand Boxes of these Pills sold in Alabama alone, within the last twelve mom .s, not a single rase has come to the knowledge of the pro prietors, where they have faili and to cure the Chills and Fevers, when they have been used according to the directions accompanying them. And besides these pills are no “ qnack medicineF they arc the scientific preparation of experi nccd medical men, who, after having prepared this important recipe, most positively declared that from .ill the discoveries up to the present lime, in medical science, they saw noway by which they could possibly be improved, or made in any wav more < tiger ual n the cure of those Complaints for which they are recommended : so that the happy combination of the ingredients and their proportions arc stu b as to produce a medicine which never fails to relieve when relief is a all anamable. Upwards of one thousand certificates might here be added, of importa* t cures effected by this medicine; htif it is not neees.-aiy to publish them, as a single trial of the Pills is more satisfactory evidence than a volume of printed tea iinonia's. We would, howev er, refer tin- eader to some eight or ten tlxusand families in tins Sia e, who l is thought have experi enced their efficacy, ami who would bear ample us limony of their unrivalled virtues.

XU • PROSPECTUS OF THE fOITHEIIN QUARTERLY REVIEW. This work ha3 now been a year before the public during which period its reputation ha* been s<> S(lL ' cessfirfly established, and its circulation so wide) extended, as to justify the hope and belief that it w,q long continue to be one of the principal organ* u r Southern Political Interests, and one of the chief „ r 'laments of Southern Literature- The brilli* n . character of die late Souihem Review shed around Charleston and the South, a halo w hich will not soor lie forgotten ; the Southern Quarterly has risen a f ter many toilsome efforts, from its ashes, and i't „ trusted that it will prove rise If a worthy successor u s the glory of the former. Nothing more is now re quisite to ensure its permanent e than the continued and cordial support of the inhabitants of the South ern portions of the Union; and an appeal is confi dently made to the generous and patriotic feelings of all Southerners, not to suffer the present Review to languish from the want of that sustenance which they can so well afford. In its political character this Review will he Dent ocralic, and while avoiding carefully scliims mere', local in their nature, it will strenuously uphold S.>utii cm Interests, and advocate all questions of natio a j importance with boldness and freedom. It is notm tended, however, absolutely to exclude all maintaining principles different from our own; hut if otherwise worthy of admission, they will be inserted with a notice that the Editors do not hold themselves responsible for the doctrines alleged. All teligiou, discussions of a sectarian nature will be scduously eschewed, and the Review will preserve a perfect impartiality towards all religious denominations. The work will be printed on the best paper, and with the best type, and every exertion will he made to render it worthy of the patronage of the public generally. It will he issued quarterly from Charles ton, in January, April, July and October; andariange ments have been made, since its remoba! tothiscity, to insure the regular and punctual delivery of every number a3 it appears, so that no disappointment may hareafter arise from any failure in this respect. Mr. Ritchie having withdrawn from the work, the Subscrber, in (filer that more time and attention may be devoted to its improvement, and to the accu racy and excellence of each number, has associated with himself in the Editorial management of the Review, that distinguished scholar, G. Frederick Holmes, Esq. of Orangeburg, and every effort will he made on the part of both togive every satisfaction to its patrons. In consequence of the removal of the Southern Review to Charleston, and the reduction in the ex penses of printing and publishing attendant thereon 'he prire of the work will henceforward be reduced; from Ten Dollars to Five Dollars, payable annually in advance. The fifth number, which will com-1 mence another vear, will appear early in January I 1343, for which abundant material hare been already I procured. M-ny of the best writers and most pr.l. found scholars of the country have already pledged j themselves to film sh articles for the ensuing year and the list of contributors is daily increasing fi talent, in respectability and in number.
