I was on the point of asking why I had uev
er seen her at the table, but remembered the
shortness of my acquaintance, and checked
myself. She however understood my hesita
tion.
“You were going to ask why I do not go to
the table and mingle with the family," she said.
I am out of the world. I mingle neither in its
bustles nor pleasure, nor in any of its customs.
They have uo charm to me, and have had none
for many years. No one knows me, and I
wish to make no friends. No one can afford
to be sociable with me for an hour, for I shall
not trouble you again.
I asked no more qestions, for I perceived she
bad told me all she would of herself; but I
obeyed her wish, and was social with her.
examined Iter books, of which she had many
They indicated a highly cultivated taste.—
Most of them were in German, n few in Latin,
a few old English and Spanish authors. Glanc
ing over the pages I observed the initials E. II
wiitten on the oack of several volumes. A
suspicion flashed across iny mind that Boss
was an assumed name, and her manner of re
serve and mystery tended to deepen it. I re
solved to remomber those initials; nt some
future time they might throw some light on
her history. I'longed, but dared not question
ber of the past.
From her books I turned to her pictures
but no sooner had I observed them than my
eye was struck by a large painting, in a rich
ly-gilt frame, which bung in otto corner of the
room, and which was covered by a curtain of
black silk. She saw my glance of surprise and
curiosity.
•• You would like to see that portrait!” she
said* t* I think I cau promise you that if you
live louger than 1 do, you can sec it.”
1 spent more than an hour with her, and then
bade her good evening with a feeling of relief.
It was like going out of a haunted chamber.
As I left the room she slipped a gold piece in
to my hand for my fee, and again thanked me
for my services.
I lived in that bouse a year longer, but I did
not see her face again. She never came to the
table or the parlor where the other boarders
were assembled. She never left her room in
the daytime.. Sometimes, when returning
from a night case, in the dim grey of the morn
ing, 1 recognized her tall form, in its dark gar
ments, going across the fields for a morning
walk ; but her face was always turned from
me ; and every S.tbbaih evening, thickly veil
ed, she attended the even in-service.
At tho end of the year 1 married iny bolov
ed Alice, the daughter of our clergyman. On
my wedding Eve, as I was leaving my board
ing house for the last time, (for I had prosper
ed so that I hail bought a neat cottage and
furnished it in readiness for my bride.) Miss
Boss met me upon the stairs. Sho took my hand
with a quick grasp, and put into it a beautiful
pearl bracelet.
“Give this to your bride,” she said hurried
ly ; “ luff mind, jt is a gift from you and not
from me—remember !“ And before I could
collect tnyself for a reply she had disappeared
in her chamber.
I could scarcely proceed, so agitated was I
by this strange occurence. What interest had
this singular woman in my Alice or in me 1
And why must I keep secret even from my
wife the fact of my acquaintance with her ?
It was with a feeling of awe and dread, which I
could not withstand, that I placed the costly
gift on tho fair ann of my bride; and when
her smiling blue eyes looked into mine, with
such pleased surprise, I longed to tell her all
I knew of the mysterious giver.
Just opposite our ofn little pottage lived

er, she told me. had been dead many years,
Mr. Hudson was a man of very reserved habits,
yet of a benevolent disposition! Toward Alice
he was always tenderly affectionate; between
him and bis second wife there was little sym
pathy, yet she was an amiable woman, and
endeavored to please him to the best of her
ability. I often thought that there was some
grief preying upon Mr. Hudson’s mind, which
was unknown even to bis familythat there
was some sorrow of the past which he could
neither forget nor confide to another. lie
would sit musing for hours, heedless of the hum
of conversation going on about him; and then,
suddenly roused from his reverie to real life. I
haye seen his face wear a strange, troubled
expression. . ...
Alice, in reply lo my questioning, said he
had' always been so, and she thought he had
never ceased mourning for her mother; that
often, when they were alone, ho would talk to
her of her mother’s beauty and rare attain
ments. Ilis first wife had been a gifted wo
man—superior in mental qualities to most or
her sex ; but I felt that affectionate remem
brance of the dead could not alone weigh down
a mind of such §trcngth_ as his. The more
familiar I became with him. the warmer my
attachment grew for him, "and the more I be
came convinced that he was haunted by pain
ful recollections.
lie spent much of his time with us; oftcu,
upon a summer day. coming to our little gar
den to write or think upon his sermons. v\ hen
our little girl was born, he seemed d™ wn
wards us by a new tenderness, vv e named
it Eleanor in memory of his first wife, and from
that day it seemed to us that the child had the
first and brat place in heart.
Three years after our marriage. Mr. Hud
son suddenly grew ill. I attended him. and
watched him almost constanly during his brief
sickness. Going earlier than usual, one morn
ing into bis room. I found a splendid bouquet
lying upon his Ublc; white and blush roses,
heavy watcr-lillics, and rich phanstes, of
and purple hues. As I entered abruptly he
made a motion to conceal them, hut, meeting
my glance, he only laid them upon the outside
of his bed. I approached, and, while standing
by his bedside, carelessly took the flower, m
^••Thcsc are beautiful!” I said. “It cannot
be that Alice has brought them to you so ear-
ly ’“No,” he answered, taking them rather eag
erly from my hand, “ Alien did not gtvc me
theso—my wife brought them in to me.
I said nothing more, but the little circum
stance struck me as singular, for Mrs. Hudson
was the last person from wl.otn I should have
expected such a gift. True, she was ammb e
and kindly disposed, but senUment was no
part of her nature. She loved only the use
ful; the beautiful she did not comprehend. It

it strange that her step-mother had suddenly
grown romantic; but she did not doubt the
truth of her father’s reply.
From that morning he rapidly grew worse.
Sometimes his mind wandered, and then the
name always on his lips was Eleanor.

bout him with a wild moumfuhicss. •• She
promised to see me once more—Jet me hear

and she so proud ? She always loved me. I

And then he wonld murmur sadly, “ It is too

From such melancholy wanderings he would
arouse himself, and look with n qnict resigns

When he had been three weeks ill lie seem
ed growing better. His mind seemed to wan
der, his manner was cheerful, and he appear-
ed again like himself. One evening he said lie
could sleep without watchers, and urged us all
so strongly to retire, that we yielded and left
him alone. After a restless night, I rose as
as it was Hawn, and hastened to liis room,
approached liis bedside quickly, but there I
stopped, and gazed in breathless silence upon
the scene before me. Mr. Hudson lay dead,
with a serene smile upon his lips, nnd in his
folded hands I saw again a beautiful garland
of flowers!
Years passed. The grass grew over his
grave, and new cares and new joys made us
forget our mourning for him. But often, in the
wakeful hours of night, that solemn picture
would float before me. and I tried in vain to
account for its seeming mystery.
Last night, a stormy December cveuiug, as
I sat by the fire, reading with my daughter, the
door-bell suddeuly pulled violently, and I went
myself toanswer it. A servant man stood there,
drenched with snow, and iu hurried accents
besought me to go to liis mistress, who was dy
ing.
1 looked out iuto the night. The storm was
increasing and my warm fire and the society
of my family seemed never so irresistible.
Is she really dying ?” I asked.
Yes, sir," was the reply, “they say she
will never sec the morning.”
Then, my man, there is no need of my go
ing. She will be better with only her frieuds
about her. I cannot do any good.
The man looked up into my face.
“Are you not Dr. Ware?” he asked.
“That is my name,” I replied.
“And did you not practice once elsewhere?”
And he named our former residence.
Yes,” I answered again, with some wonder.
Then, sir, you must come to my mistress.
It is not that she thinks you can save her, hut
she wants to sco you ; and your wife is to come
with you. She hade tne say she had something
to tell you.
I said no more, hut immediately set out,
accompanied by Alice, who wondered greatly
at the unusual request. The man walked oil
by our side, serving as a guide. We passed
through several streets, ami at last stopped nt
the door of a large bouse, llcfore I could read
the uamc on the (date a woman opened- the

and there, as 1 expected, on it bed ot snowy

and took her hand.
I am sorry to find you ill. Miss Ross,”
said quietly.
She looked nt me earnestly, nnd said :
“You recognize me, then ; I am glad you
remember Is this Alice ?
Yes,” I answered; and Alice and I sat
down by her bedside. She hail grown old fast
in the years which had elapsed since our last
meeting. There were deep lines about lier
keen black eyes, yet they had lost none of
their keenness: and the mouth, though thin
and closely drawn, yet retained traces of its
former beauty. She looked nt us both iiffcntly,
but when lier eyes met those Alice, there was a
sweetness and tenderness in their expression
which I liad never seen before.
I am going to tell you something,” sho said,
which may make you feel sad, hut cannot
now make you unhappy. I know that your
happiness is secure, iu your mutual love for
your beautiful child. I have watched you.
Alice, ever since you were a babe in the cra
dle; and I have watched you. Dr. Ware; ever
since the day you began to love Alice, 1 have
always been uear you since, and I know you
arc worthy of each other.

“I was the only and indulged child of wealth-
parents, nnd. from my childhood, beautiful
capricious and proud. Accustomed.to having
every wish obeyed* the lent opposition made
me resolute in my will. My acquaintance with
Lewis was contrary to the wishes of nty pa
rents ; they urged mo to give him up, and I.
seeing they would never consent to our union
fled with him from their displeasure. He was
a wild young man, but I did not enre for that,
since he was handsome, gifted, learned, anil
knew how to display every accomplishment to
the best advantage. But I was his equal,
even in learning. No pains or expense had
been spared in my educations ; and how
I gloried in the consciousness that I wns
fitted to be the companion of such a inind as
'"“We love each other ardently; nnd life,
viewed by the light of enthusiasm, promised
only happiness. My husband had studied
ledicinc. and began practice iu a small town
„1 a distance from my native place. We were
poor, and our style of living was very differ-
entfrom that to which I hail been accustomed,
but I found perfect conlentmcut in iny hus
band’s confidence and affection.
In two years a babe was born, and life, from
wild romance, grew suddenly real. I loved
the child, and willingly staid away from all
social enjoyments to devote myself to it; auu
, did he love it; yet he was so vexed that
could uot now, at any moment he Wished,
leave my infant to join him in some amusement,
that he began to learn to do without tne in his
pleasures ; and then, for mo, began the bitter
ness of life.
I cannot tell you the trouble that ensued.
Gradually his early habits of dissipation re
turned, until he grew reckless and passionate,
and I impstient and weary. Yet, even then,
at intervals, he wonld be peuiteut, and with
llic most ardent promises would seek toregnd
my affection. But that he always had. Moved
him more than all human beings, even when
he wronged me most. I strove to win him
hack to home affections; I implored him to
i,ity his innocent child, cveu if he had no
more love for me. He would bo softened for
•i while, would caress me, call me his good an-

would bo lifted to bis lips, and misery would
f ° “One night as I *at along, rocking my child
ijen n year old, and weeping over my sorrow
ful lot, there was a knock at my door, and a
voun- man, an old acquaintance and neigh
bor of my girlhood, entered. He brought a
message from my father, now my only parent,
who Was dying, and had sent for me to come
and receive his "blessing and forgiveness.
Tlic words sent a thrill of joy through my
heart.
“When shall I go?” I asked of young
William Gray.
“Now,” he answered. “I was desired not
to wait for yon an honr, bat to bring you im
mediately hack with me. To all appearances
yonr father is on his death-bed, and lie longs
to see your face once more.”
“1 will go instantly.” I replied, nnd laying
my bafts in the cradle, I called my servant
girl to watch her. I knew that Lewis might
not be in before morning; and ere that time
1 could lie a good way on my journey. I told
tho girl where I was going,—bade her take
care of the child till my return, nnd leaving
message for Lewis, explaining iny sudden de
parture, I hurried away. In less than nn hour,
we were driving rapidly out of the town,
scarcely waited for the changing of horses, so
eager was I to embrace my dying parent. I
thought of nil liis passionate fondness for inc
when 1 was a child, pride in my brilliant ami
happy girlhood, iny disobedience, flic reward
of all his love. What if he should die heforcl
reached him ! The thought was inexpressibly
painful.
lint before the next sunset, and when with
in a few miles of my father’s residence we
were suddenly overtaken by my husband,
who, to iny uuutterablo-aurprise. accused me
of eloping from him with young William Gray,
and commanded me to return home. I indig
nantly denied the shameful charge, and refus
ed to obey his violent command. Many words
followed, bitter and stinging on both sides, for
be, in rage, licrsistcd in his false accusation,
and 1. mortified and indignant, refused to turn
back with him. At last, in defiance of liis
anger, I hade William drire ou with speed,
and I was soon within the shelter of iny father’'
house.
“I had intended to return the next day, but
burning with a sense of injustice and wrong,
I waited for Lewis to come after mo and con
fess his error. He did not come. Weeks
lasscd, and in mental anguish which cannot
>c told, I waited for him to take the first step
toward reconciliation. My heart yearned to
ward him with all its early fondness—it yearn
ed with love and pity too painful to bear, to
ward my tender child; hut 'pride, iny ruling
lassion. would, as ever, domineer over all my
letter feelings. I had been insulted; and
should I, by ail attempt at reconciliation, up
pareutly confess that I had been in error ? No
—I had ever been true to him when he least
deserved it. He Imd wronged inc; nnd lie,
not I, must sue for pardon.
“My father ilieil, :m«l left me the heiress of
all his wealth. How I h-nged to bestow it all
on these beloved ones ! The desire overcame
iny pride. I wiotcto l-icwis explaining again
the perfect inuoceucc of my abrupt departure,
telling him how I had waited and watched his
coming. I informed him also of my suddeu
wealth, and begged him to come for me and
share all that was become mine. The letter
was haughtily anil coldly returned without an
answer.
Then all iny pride awoke again, nnd I re
solved that if ever we were reconciled, it should
be hr his confession of injustice. I remained
in iny fat lief s house, living alone, mistress of
its now cheerless splendor. Mouths, years
passed, ami no word, no message from 1113- hus
band, assured inc that lie oven remembered
my existence, '.ill suddenly came the startling
news that he had sued for a divorce. I scorn
ed to oppose him, lie proved to satisfaction my
abandonment of him. and f became that out
cast iu the world—a divorced wife!
“Tliis crisis past, my pride was shattered,
and remorse alone remained tome. Oh. if I
could have humbled myself, have gone to my
deluded husband, and by tears ami prayoru,
besought a return of liis love ami confidence,
ere it was too late! But now all my self-re
proaches were in vain—he was separated from
me forever; and the child, as il grew up. was
taught to believe me dead. Lewis told her no
falsehood. I was dead lo llu-iii and all Ihe
world beside.
• -Mm«; I rthror, Ottttl Uj, r.Le
hermit in my gloomy mansion. Then came
a deep longing, and irresistible impulse to sec
them once more. They had been my idols
through all; and though unseen and unheeded,
I must still worship tliciq. I sold iny posses
siotis, and went in search of them. At lust I
found them—but how changed! The terrible
event had altered my husband's whole nature.
He had lain aside forever liis dissipation and
folly, and in a silent corner of the world he
was living an obscure clergyman.—Within a
few ye.-irs lie had married again ; liis child was
growing up in beauty and intelligence -
he seemed happy and at peace.
“I could not see them face to face, for now
it would only bring to thorn misery and sor-
I hid myself under a feigned name,
where I could watch them unseen ; mid I shun
ned all friendship or acquaintance, that I might
never coinc in their way. My daughter thought
me dead ; my husband—I call him mine, for lie
never truly belonged to another—thought me
still in my father’s home.
“At last I knew that be was dying. In the
days of our old love we had often gathered
flowers together ; and now, one early morning,
I gathered a rare bouquet, that might sccin
like the Eleanor of old times, and watching my
opportunity, I entered liis chamber. Had a
spirit risen from the dead, he could not have
been more overcome. I. too. trembled in my
very heart with emotion, hut X felt that my
hour had come—that I had suffered aud wait
ed long, aud now I must speak. I told him a-
gain Ihe story of iny innocence,-as I had told
him long ago, when he was too angry to believe
me. I called Heaven to witness that I loved
him unceasingly, even when neglected and
wronged by him—that it was pride alone which
had sundered us. I told him of the years I
had lived within sight of his dwelling unknown
and unloved by human kind. His heart was
melted; lie forgave me; and with tears, such
as only a strong mail weeps, he implored iny
forgiveness. A footstep approached, and I
fled away, for I had no desire to bring unhap
piness to the woman who had taken my place.
■Once more I saw him; he promised to be
alone one morning to sec inc. Before dawn I
went to him. They thought he died alone. It
was uot so. He breathed liis last in my sup-
r jrtiug arms. 1 folded his hands on my breast,
kissed his beloved brow, I closed liis eyes,
and thanked the Almighty that unto me and
not another, had been given this last, sacred
duty of love.
“Alice, my daughter!” Her lips faltered
in !hc utterance; she sank back and closed lie;
eyes.
Alice hung weeping over her bed. I step
ped into the next room and lifted the veil from
the mysterious picture. It was a faithful por
trait, drawn by the jvcucil of memory and af
fection, of l^-wis Hudson, the father of Alice.
Cii.uiArrrit better than Ciikoit.—\Ve often
hear young men who have credit but no means,
dolefully contrasting their lot with that of rich
men’s sons. Yet the longer we live, the more we
arc convinced that the old mcrcluint was right,
who said to us when wc began to live, “Industry,
my la«l, is better than ingots of gold, anil cliar
acter more valuable than credit.’’ \Ye could
furnish, if need were, from 3 score of illustra
tions to prove the truth of his remark. 111 all
branches of business, in nil avocations, charac
ter, in the long run, is the best capital. Say*
Poor Richard: "The sound of your hammer at
live in the morning, or nine at night, heard by
a creditor, makes him easy for six months Ion-
ger; hut if he sees you at a gambling-table, or
bears your voice at a tavern, when you should
be at work, he semis for liis money the next
<lay.” What is true of the young lucclianic, is
trite also of the young inercliaiit or young law
yer. Old ami sagacioua linns will not long con
tinue to give credit for tliousands of dollars,
when they sec the purchaser, if a young man,
driving fast horses, or lounging in drinking sa
loons. Clients will not intrust their eases to
advocates, however brilliant, who frequent the
card-table, the wine party, or the race course.
It is better in beginning life, to secure a repu
tation for industry' ««d probity, than to own
bouses and lands, if with them you have no

About one hundred nnd twenty miles
New Orleans reposes, in all rural happiness,
of the pleasantest little towns in the south, which
reflects itself in the mysterious waters of
Mississippi.
. To the extreme right of the town, looking
it from the river, may be seen a comfortable-
looking building, surrounded by China trees;
just such a place as sentimental misses dream of
when they have indistinct notions of “settling
in the world”
This little “suburban Kmdbox,” however, is not
occupied by the arts of love, nor the airs of the
lute, hut by a strong limb of the law, a gnarled
one, too, who knuckles down to business, and
digs out of tlie “uncertainties of his profession”
decisions, and reason*, and causes, and effects,
nowhere to-be' met with, in the science called
par excellence, the “perfection oriiuman reason.”
Around the interior walls of this romantic-
looking place may be found an extensive libra
ry, where all the ‘‘statutes,” from Moses’ time
down to the present day, range side by side; in
these musty I looks the owner revels dav and
night, digesting “digcsls,” and growing the
while sallow, witli indigestion.
On the evening-time of a tine summer's day,
the sage lawyer might have been seen walled
in witli I*ooks and manuscripts, his eye full of
thought, and liis bald high forehead sparkling
with tho rays of the setting sun, as if his genius
was making* itself visible to tlie senses; page
after jage he searched musty parchments were
scanned *n expression of care and anxiety in
dented itself on tlie stern features of liis face,
and with a sigh of despair he desisted from his
labors, uttering aloud his feeling that he feared
the case was a hopeless one.
Then lie renewed again his mental labor with
tenfold vigor, making the very silence, with
which he pursued his thoughts, ominous, as
a spirit were in his presence.
The door of the lawyer’s office opened, and
there pressed forward the tall, gaunt figure of 1
man, a perfect model of physical jiowcr and en
durance—a western flatboatinan. The lawyer
liecded not liis presence, and started its if from
a dream, as the harsh tones of inquiry grated
upon his ear:
“ Docs a '.Squire live here?”
“ They call tne so,” wits the reply, as soon as
he had recovered from his astonishment
“ Well, .Squire,” continued tlie intruder, “
have got r. ease for 3 011, and I want jestess, if i
costs the Ik's! load of produce that ever came
from In-di-an.”
The man of law asked what was the difficulty.
“It’s this, ’.Squire: I’m lioimd for Orleans,
anil put m here for coffee and other little lixins,
map with a face whiskered up like a prairie
ig, sa3’s, says he,
“ ‘Stranger, I sec 3'011’ve got cocks on hoard
of your Imat—bring one ashore, and I’ll pit one
against him that’ll lick his legs off' in less time
than you can gaff him.’ Well, 'Squire, I never
take a Jar. Says I, ‘Stranger, I’m thar at wunce;’
and in twcnt3* minutes the cocks were on the
levee, like perfect saints.
•• We chucked them together, and ni3‘ bird,
Squire, now mind, ’Squire, my bird never struck
t lick, not a single blow, but tuck to his heels
and run, and I13- thunders, tjirew up his feed,
nelewclly vomited. The stakeholders gave up
he money agin me, and now I want jestess; as
lire as frogs, uiy bird was physicked, or he’d
lood up to his business like a wild caL”
The lawyer heard the shny with patience,
nut flatly refused to have any thing to do with
tie matter.
Prchaps,” said the boatman, drawing out
orpulent |MH'ket-liook, “preliaps 3’ou think I
an’t pay— hero's the money; help 3'oursclf—
ive me jcslcss, and draw on 1113- purse like an
ox team.”
To the astonishment of the flatlioatiiian, the
lawyer still refused, hut unlike maiy of liis pro-
r.vouon, pncliw would-be client, witliout charge,
some general advice a I suit going on board of bis
■at, shoring off for New Orleans, and a ban-
douing the suit altogether.
The boatman stared with profound astonish
ment, and asked Ihe lawyer, “ If lie was a sure
noiigli ’Squire ?”
Deceiving an affirmative reply, he pressed
•very argument he could use, to have him un-
lertake 1.1. ••*«. and get him “jestess;” hut
hen he found that Ins eno,o Z. ..nnvaflin-
he quietly seated himself for the first tinitypul
iiat aside—crossed his legs—then looked up
to the ceiling with an expression of great pa
tience, and requested the “ ’Squire to read to him
the Louisiana laws on cock-fighting,”
The lawyer said ho-did not know a single sta
tute of the State upon the subject Tlie lioat
man star toil up as if ho had been shot, exclaim
ing—
No laws in the State on cock-lighting? No,
no, 'Squire, 3’ou can't jiossuiii uie; give us tlie
law.”
The refusal again followed; the astonishment
of the boatman increased, ami (browing himself
into a coinieo heroic attitude, he waved liis long
lingers around the side of the room and asked,
“ What all them thar Ixxiks were about?’'
“All about the law.”
“ Well then, ’Squire, am I to understand tliat
not one of them thar books con Lain a single law
on cock-lighting?’
You are.”
And, ’Squire, am I to understand that that*
ain’t no laws in Louisiana on cock-lighting?”
' You are.”
The astonishment of the lioatman at this rcpl3'
fora moment was unbounded, and then sudden-
ceased ; the awe with which lie looked upon
i* **’Soilin'” also ceaseiL nnd risimiini. his
the
Squire” also ccaseil, and resuming his
natural, awkward and familiar carriage, ho took
iq, his hat, and walking to the door, with a
broad grin of supreme contempt in liis face, he
observed—
“ That a ’Squire who did not know the laws
cork-lighting; in liis opinion, was distinct^*
infernal chuckle-headed fool.”
Now anil Then.
Mr. Simmons, a Senator from Rhode Island,
the debate on tho Pacific Kail Road Bill
made the following statement in regard to the
manner and expense of getting cotton to mar
ket daring the last year with Great Britian.
In 1811, I remember to have scon twenty
waggons come into Providence loaded with
cotton from the State of Georgia, at a freight
of twenty cents a pound, and that was the
cheapest war ,wc could get our cotton, in time
~ war. I have some sons engaged in the cot-
tou business, and I knew them to contract for
cotton, in Memphis, Tennessee, lust fall, aud
have it transported by railroad and steamboat
New York, for one cent a pound, and it
was not more than one eighth of a cent more
than it would cost by steamboat to go dowu
New Orleans and from there to New York
by water. Hundreds and thousands of bales
of cotton were ordered late in the last fall
from Memphis, Tennessee, by railroad aud
steamboat to New York, at a cent a pound
freight, as great a distance as the cotton trav
eled by wagons, in 1814, at twenty cents a
pound. This is the practice; and tho reason
of it is this : there has keen a declining ten
dency in the cotton market, nnd they could
make bargains and guaranty the delivery of
the cotton in New York in fourteen days, and
it cost only one eighth of a cent more than if
it went all the way by water. \Vc can get
cotton from .Memphis, Tennessee, to New
York now for less than common insurance.
That is the difference internal improvements
liave made in supplying the people of this
couutry with materials for clothing, since the
war of 1812.
JuDOMKNT AGAINST Cot. BkNTO.N—The
Treasury Department has notified thcExecu,
tors of the late Co!. Benton of a judgment a-
gainst the deceased rendered iu 182G, in favor
of the United States for $7,000. The G overn-

tors will appeal to Congress for relief on the
ground of tho insolvency of the estate, tliu as
sets being hardly sufficient to pay hills owing
for necessaries famished t-i the family of the

SAVANNAII, January, 1859.
Public attention being now directed to the pur
chase of Fertilisers, we beg leave most earnestly
to calf your attention to the above Card.
Mr. G. Ober, the Genetal Agent in Italtimore for
the sale of
Kottlowoll’s Manipulated Guano,
testimonials of so strong a character, as to autho
rise us in commending to your most favorable aiten
tion this valuable Fertiliser. We believe it to bo
the most reliable and economical Manure now offer
ed to the public. H will commend itself for the fol
lowing reasons:
1st.—Because it is imported Guano, intimately
combined, so as to meet the wants of Crop and Soil,
and not a manufactured article.
2d.—Its fine and dry conidtion—making it ready
for immediate application, without seiving or grind
ing. -
3d.—In production of Crop and permanent im
provemeut of Land, it surpasses all other Fertilizers,
not excepting Peruvian Guano.
4th.—Its low price.
Peruvian Guano contains 16 per cent Ammonia
and only 25 to 30 per cent Phosphate of Lime: Ry
reducing the costly Ammonia one-half, nnd doubling
the Phosphate of Lime, a far more valuable Fertili
zer must be produced. It has been demonstrated
that 8 per cent of Ammonia is enough for all crops—
more is injurious, besides expensive. Indeed, many
prefer the No. 2 Manipulated Guano, because it cou
tains a larger per centage of Phosphate of Lime
the simple reason why Cotton Seed is so valuable i
Manure is owing to this element alone. In Mary
land and Virginia this article has been in use exten
sively for several years, renovating the old and worn'
out lands of those States, Our sister State, South
Carolina, is a large patron. Cotton Planters give it
the decided preference where it has been tried. Wo
have transacted business with Mr John Kettlewell
of Baltimore, tho Proprietor of this article, for sove
ral years, imd have entire confidence in his integrity
We beg that you will «t least try this article, if you
are not disposed to vent are largely. Our object is
to dissemiiiHte as widely as possible what we Relieve
to be a public good.
As hii intelligent Planter, you cannot hesitate, if
you will but examine for yourself, and see how im
portant it is to make our worn out lands to staud
along side with the viigin soil.
We are now ordering a supply from Dalttmcre,
and if you will advise us on receipt of this, we will
forward to your address such an amount as you may
designate, at Baltimore prices viz : $48 per ton fo
No. I, and 643 per ton for No. 2, of 2,010 lbs., adding
cost of freight, Ac.—cash or its equivalent. If put
’ ii store the price will be 653 and 48 per tou in 8a-
annah It is put up in new sacks and in beantifnl
order.
It can be applied broadcast, in hill or drill, in im
mediate contact with the seed, without injury, an
important advantage in quantities precisely as Pe
ruvian, say from 100 to 300 lbs. per acre, with the
benefit of improvement to lands, tne more it is lib
erally applied. We offer it from a single sack to
auy number of tons that inay be wanted.
We nppend a few certificates, from several Stal
to show the character of this article Many could
bo added, but we deem it unnecessary.

Dear Sir.—Your favor of the 13th inst., came to
hand yesterday, desiring me to give you the resnlt of
iny experience with Peruvian and “Manipulated
Guano'* Ibis year, upon my cotton crop, which Ido
with much pleasure; but )t is necessary and proper
that I inform you, that the “ Manipulated Guano”
was not received till 10th April, which was abont
ten or twelve days after I was done planting whore
a had applied the Peruvian Guano; and I put the
Manipulated” upon old and inferior land and tho
yield has been about equal per aero. I used it upon
poorer laud, that I might lie bettor able to know its
value as a manure; and 1 am fully of opinion, that
the production was doubled by tin* use of it, and the
r**V #‘f better quslity, than upon the same kind o
land where uo imuuh »*«» uaLu. *-*.., , :
ment has proven so satisfactory to me, tnat I shall
hereafter continue the use of your Manipulated, in
preference to the Peruvian Guano.
Yours, Ac.. ISAAC T. ROBINSON.
P. S.—I perceive no difference in the quality of
coUoq grown from the Manipulated and Peruvian
Guano.

John Kettlewell, Esq ;
Dear Sir:—Your favor of the 12th instant, asking
my experience in the use of your “ Manipulated Gu
uuo” is just to hand—I reply, with pleasure: I have
ased five tons of it in the growth of cotton ou both
old and fresh lands <xf mulatto soil, and the result is,
that, on the former/where without the use of your
guano, I have made 200 lbs. of sued cotton per acre
with it—I will gather this year—which has been one
of sqcb drought that cotton will be cut at least one
third short on tny place—400 lbs. per acre, aud on
the latter, the increase of yield wilt be abont 2 to 1.
I am satisfied, that if tne season had been more
favorable, the result would have been more manifest.
There can bo no question but tnat your“ Manipula
ted Guano” is an admirable manure —its cheapness
over tlie Peruvian Guano, together with its adapted
ness to the production of cotton, will oertainly re
commend it to the cotton planters I expect to use
‘ much more liberally on my next jrear’s crop.
I am truly yours,
A. JONE8.

John Kettlewell, Esq.;
Dear Sir:—In reply to your letter of 14th inst., in
which you make the request that 1 should give you
“ the results of my experience with your Manipula
ted Guano, especially m comparison with tho Peru
vian, both as it regards qualify and quantity.”
For the last two Years, I have used your No. t
Manipulated Guano largely for my fanning purpo
ses, and in various experiments to test it with the
best Peruvian in quantity and quality. They have
been conducted with great minuteness, and iu every
instance the Manipulated Guano has nroved superi
or to the Peruvian alone—the growth of the plant
being moro vigorous, and the product heavier.—
This result was more particularly applicable to corn;
yet, as to other crops, say barley, oats, Ac., tlie su-
priority of the Manipulated was apparent. 1 think
t a stronger and a cheaper manure—cheaper, be
cause it requires less to the acre, and also on account
of difference in price. I therefore use it In prefer
ence to Peruvian, on all iny crops. Not planting
cotton, I have no personal experience of its effects
that plant. Yours, very respectfully.

Messrs. John Rowlett fc Co—Gents:
la reply to your inqairy I with p.easnrw state, that
sometime in the early part of this year, the Inspec
tors at this Warehouse sold for Mr. F. R. Wills, a
successful farmer of Prince George's, and a gentle
men of high character aud undoubted integrity,
two lots of loose tobacco, one of which as stated by
him was made on land where Manipulated Guano
had been used aud the other where Peruvian Guano
bad been used; the former bringing 69j per cwt.,
the latter only 67. As indicated by the prices there
was a very marked difference in the two lots so far
as to the quality and character of tho tobacco ; that
of the former being heavier and rich ; ol the latter,
then, bony, course and poor.
In addition, 1 will state, that so far as I tun inform
ed, the tobacco grown on land where KettleweU'a
Manipulated Guano has been used, is generally of a
superior quality, and consequently several of our
large tobacco growers are now using this guano on
their tobacco crop in preference to other manures.

EOCA’S BALSAM
for Pulmonary & Tubercular Consumption.
T ilE public is now put in possession of one of
the most extraordinary remedies extant, for
what has heretofore been considered an incurable
disease: being an OUTWARD APPLICATION,
tlie action of which is seemingly miraculous, and
its having none of those attributes which make up
the numerous compounds now in general nse.
A Pamphlet containing directions, letters from dis-
tingnished and well known individuals, and other
documentary evidences will accompany the remedy.
Mr. James Rees having ceased to be the Agent
for the sale of this Balsam, the price has been re
duced to #4 a Jar, and 50 cents for the Bandage.
It can only be obtained of tho proprietor by letter
directed to (l. ROCA,
