These truly valuable Bitters have not been fairly before the public for one year, and yet tliri e is a heavy demand fur them from all parts of tlie Union. Dr. Frink, No. 30 West 35th Street, New Yoik, says: J have been greatly benefitted by uaing Dr. Dials’ Wiue Binera. and am now using them freely nnd sue cessfully iu my practice. As a medicine for Females I consider them unequaled.” Dr. Guernsey, No. 18 West 23d Street, says: T have used Dr. Dods' Wine Bitters in my practice, and in all cases wheie a tonic is required, I consider them unsurpassed, anil cheerfully recommend them as a valuable Faudly Medicine.” Dr. Meacham. of Florida, says: “ For several years 1 snffeied all the horrorR of Cron- ic Dyspepsia. I used all other remedies without avail. I discarded prejudice end used Dr. Dods’ Wine bitters which have greatly benefitted me, and I believe will cure me.” Mr. G- S. Weaver, of Albany, N. Y. says: “My wife was sinking rapidly with consumytion; the best physicians iu Aibauyaud New York city pronounc ed her case hopeless. blie used Dr. Dials' VViiie Bit ters; and i< cured.” Mi. J. B. Stunts.of Newark, N. J.,says: “My daughter was extremely ill; she had been at tended by foul of our best physicians; her disease was Iiifinuiatinn of the. Bowels, which had produced ex treme debility. Her case was considered hopeless by all who saw her. A friend recommended Dr. Dods' Wiue Bitters; she used them and is well.” Mr. Brittain, eiiiloi of the Banner of Light, in Boston says: “Dr. J. Bovee Dods’ Wise Bitters have cured me of Piles of She worst and obstinate character.” A distinguished lady of Mobile, Ala., writing to a female friend gays: “I would advise you to nse Dr. J. Bovee Dods’Im perial Wine Bitters. 1 have used them, aud consider them a blessing to or-r sex.” We might wi ite a small volume, and then would not give cue font lh of the Testimonials in our possession, as to the virtue of these Valuable Bitters, but we will on ly say that they ai e approved of by on; best Physicians, arc doing much good in all parts of the country, aud earnestly entreat the afflicted to try them.

I SAMUEL S. METHVIN, Afim’r. February 8ft, 1861. 38 9t Tbr Sword n.d the Fen. BY WARBF.S MOSELEY, OF MIDWAY, GA. Oh say not to me that the glittering blood stained sword Is more mighty than the peaceful pen. Nor say that it wields a mightier or stronger power Over the hearts and the minds of men. It’s tme that the sword is mighty to destroy To fill our homes, ana the earth with gloom. To crowd many leagnes red with gore The downward pathway to the tomb. To crush and blight the lonely widows heart, To wake the Orphans mournful cry. To fill the whole earth with wretchedness With sin aud crime of the deepest dye. It causes the Maiden's tears to start Her bosom to heave with expiring throe. When it drinks the blood of her true loveT's heart. And sinks him in the arms of death so low. But mightier and lovelier is the peacelul pen Scattering and distributing the gems of the miod Like the Minshine of morn shedding her rays over th« earth To enlighten and save, and bless mankind. And from its raging and destroying work The gleaming and blood stained sword shall rest, When with peace plenty and righteousness, Our bloomiug earth and land is blessed. Then, then doth the pen assert Us powers And then mankind doth freely feel That its influence has a mightier power Than the blood-stained sword with its glittering Steel.

As they have an abundance of leas es to dispose of, which may be considered certain to yield oil in larger quantities than can be obtained in any other oil re gion in the country, they will probably dispose of all the territory they have to lease in a very short time. The Preiidrsl’a Nlsrt-Tradr The Truth about Man. Fateh — Hi* Lnit Leap. A correspondent of the Rochester Demo crat takes exception to a statement con cerning the renowned l^am Patch which recently appeared in an English book, and gives the correct version of tlie story of that individual’s last leap. lie says: Sam Patch’s last leap occurred on the afternoon of the 15th of November, lfc<29, on a cold, cloudy, dismal autumn day.— l he heavens, as if in keeping with tLe melancholy spectacle, were almost clothed in sackcloth. The sun refused to look up on the mournful tragedy. But ten thou sand human beings, more thoughtless, lined tlie banks of the river on both sides, perched also upon the hills and houses, and in trees, above and below the high hank 1 -, to cheer and encourage the poor drunken sui idc iu his self-immolation. A scaffold was erected thirty feet high, on the. island above the falls, ns they then were, standing very near where the saw-mill up on the brow of tlie cataract now is. Prom the scaffold poor Sam dropped into the deep water, as it then was below. Ten thousand eager eyes watched him as he went like an arrow down against the dark ledge of rocks, a distance of one hundred and twenty-six feet. Ten thousand eager eyes gazed with breathless anxiety npon the spot where he fell, expecting to see him emerge from the water, as he had done most gracefully just one week before, after jumping from the precifiice without the scaffold, a distance of ninety-six feet; boais put out below, and sailed around near the spot, ready to pick him up. Ten thousand people, like a great ciowd of witnesses, still lining the cliffs, still straining their eyes to catch the first glimpse of any dark speck onthe wa ters, no one daring hardly to move or draw a long breath, for nearly half an hour until one by one they began to turn away and give him up, many with tearful eyes, many with words saddened and subdued upon their lips, “Boor Sam—it was his last leap. How fool hardy! How r wick ed!” And some were heard to say, “How w icked to countenance a miserable man in such suicide! If we had not been looking ou he would not have done it!” For two long hours, at least until dark ness stopped their work, eager men hun ted all over and through the waters below the fall, to find the poor remains of the miserable victim of his own folly, hut found them not. Next day the search was renewed. Indeed, it was kept up with more or less diligence for some time; and yet all vain for that season. Search ing, dragging, fishing in the waters day after day revea'ed nothing. But the next spring the body was picked up by some unknown person near the mouth of the river, seven miles below, as it was floating out into the lake. It had Iain in the wa ter all winter; and had gone down over the lower falls also; and still was in such a state of preservation as to he readily iden tified. It was taken up, and decently hurried in a spot of ground near at hand. From the Petersburg (Va.) News. Hale of Oil Eaada. During the past week there have been consummated at Burning Spring, Va.. two extensive sales of oil lands, one, embrac ing a portion of the Burning Spring prop erty, and the other a portion of the farm immediately opposite, on South hank of the little Kanaw ha river. lst.N. J. Camden purchased for him self and others, of J. V. Rath bone, one third interest in 200 acres of land on Bur ning Spring Run and the little Kanawha river, and one halfinterest in fifteen acres of land lying within the above mentioned 200 acres. Rathbone, by this sale; trans ferred, not only an interest in the unleased land, but also the same share of all his rents ot oil lands'previonsly lmscd. The purchasers, comprising ti. D, Cam den, J. N. Camden, J. J. Jackson, jr. t 31. Edmiston, Matthew Harrison, W. L. Jack- son, J. II. Weir, B. W, Byrne, and per haps others, have fotmed themselves into a joint company, under the name and style of the Little Kannaw ha Burning Spring Petroleum Company, w ith a capital stock ofSIOO.OOO. J. J. Jackson, jr., has been elected President, and J. N. Camden Sec retary and Treasurer. The directors are M. Edmiston, G, D. Camden, \V. L. Jack- son, J.U. "Weir, and B. W. Byrne. 2d. Messrs. Charles 3Ioore and T. J. Jackson, nf Weston, and It. Snowden An drews of Baltimore purchased all the in terest of T. W. Henderson and David Pa- den in acres of land on the opposite side of the river for $80,000, and the Lit tle Kanawha Burning Spring Petroleum Company have since purchased a one- third interest therein. *1 his latter sale is contingent npon oil being founded on the land; of which, however, there is hot lit tle doubt. These sales, averaging between fifteen hundred and two thousand dollars per acre, are of land which one year ago could have been bought for less than tbe hun dredth part of their present price. Aston ishing as this may seem, it is yet deemed the greatest bargain ever sold in this coun try, as should the land continue to yield oil, even in moderate quantities, the rents alone for one year would be worth much more than the purchase money. Tbe ac tual value of the land can hardly he com puted. Tbe Lewelly well, for instance, which yielded five thousand dollars’ worth of barreled oil in ten hours, and would poor out, if unobstructed, oyer a thousand dol lars worth of pore oil in an hour—who can compute its value? It is perhaps unnecessary for ns to slate that the officers and directors of the Utile Kannawha Banting Spring Petrolenm Company are men of untiring energy, and Tct* of tbe Rill. Executive Department, t February 28,1861. ) Gentlemen of the Congress-. With sin cere deference to the judgment of the Con gress, I have carefully considered the bill in relation to the Slave Trade, and to pun ish persons offending therein, but I have not been able to approve, and therefore re turn it, with a statement of my objections. The Constitution, section 9 article I, provides that the importation of African negroes from any foreign country other than the slaveholding States, is hereby forbidden, and Congress is required to pass such law s as shall effectually prevent the same. Tbe rule hetein given is em phatic, nnd distinctly directs legislation which shall effectually prevent the impor portation of African negroes. The bill be fore me denounces as a high misdemeanor the importation of negrors or other per sons of color, either to be sold as slaves, ov held to service or labor, affixing heavy and degrading penalties on tlie act, if done with such intent. To that extent it ac cords with the requirement of the Consti tution: hut in the Gth section of tlie bill provision is made for the transfer of ne groes who may have been illegally impor ted into the Confederate States to the cus tody of foreign States or societies, npon condition of deportation and future free dom: and if the proposition thus to surren der them shall not he accepted, it is then made the duty of the President to cause said negroes to he. sold at public outcry to tlie highest bidder, in any of tlie States where such rates shall not be inconsistent with the laws thereof, &c., &c. T’liis latter provision seems to mein op position to the policy declared in the Con stitntion, of prohibition of the importation of African negroes, and derogation of its mandate to legislate for the effectuation of that otject. Wherefore the bills is re turned for your further consideration, to gether with the objections. Most respectfully submitted. Jfffersun Davis.

Fingers and Ring*. The selections of fingers for the ring is by no means an indifferent matter; it forms a course of study. The index or first fin ger next the thumb is the most majestic; it is that which the Hebrews called the finger of God, and is universally the indic ative sign. It figures in advertisirg col umns; on 6tgn-posts it is delineated issuing from a clenched fist, to point ont the road to follow; and tlie lover places it od his lips to command silence and circumspec tion. The gods of antiquity wore the ring of authority on this finger, as an evi dence of their omnipotence. TLe exam ple is still imitated by the pope and car dinals, bishops, and others, and it is of du bious elegance. The second finger from the thumb is tlie drum-major of tLe hand and like children of a commanding height, it seems as if its body bad grown to the de triment of its comliness. Under officers of the line, superior cooks, who have bad their affections blighted, and men to whom pbysicial develpment is an accomplish ment. wear the ring on this finger The favorite and popular finger has at all times been the third from tbe thumb, and the origin of this is so carious that we must not pass it over in silence. It is maintained that an artery leads from it directly to the heart, and it is owing to this circumstance that the marriage rings are placed on it. Old apothecaries, in days of superstition, mixed their prescriptions with this privi leged finger, in presence of their patients. The day of the thumb’s glory passed, when it was ordered to open the touch-pan and handle the cartridge by the aid of tbe first finger. Formerly, soldiers and phy sicians wore their rings upon tbe thumb It was thought that this ring which was usually very large, contained suitable cor dials to disinfect a sick room, or reanimate a wounded warrior. Americas Asli**itiM. From unanswerable facts and statistics, it is evident that the great valleys the Ohio and Alississippi were once tbe abode of a mighty nation—civilized and refined, warlike and brave—descendants of those mighty nations to wlmm we have alluded, and who settled in this country long be fore the appearance of the Savior upon the earth. Near Lexington, Kentucky, are the re mains of an ancient catacomb, formed in the solid rock of limestone. This enriosi- ty was discovered in the year 1776, by the early settlers of that country. The mouth of tlio cavern was carefully concealed with stones, which on being removed, opened into a cave of immense magni tude. The sides of this spacious apartment were found npon examination, to he ent into niches or compartments, occupied by figures representing men. By further in vestigation these figures were discovered to he mummies—persons preserved by the art of embalming, and exhibited a state of perfection equal to that known at anj time among tbe Egyptians; and yon will hear in mind lhat this art was practiced by that people, three thousand four hun dred and seventy-five years previous to this discovery in Kentncky. Tbe cata comb was capable of holding two thousand subjects. Again there is found on the Ohio, near twenty miles below Wabash river, anoth er remarkable work of antiquity. It is a very large cave with smooth perpendicu lar walls, and a level floor. The walls are covered with hieroglyphic figures cot in solid stone, and are well executed.-— Among them are representations of ani mals unknown to the present generation This cave is one of tbe greatest curiosi ties on tbe Ohio, and i* connected with a dark, dismal cavern, nearly tbe same sue which is located directly above it, and which is accessible through a cbimaey-Iike aperture. When ire view the ancient mounds and Tumnli of the West, we are lost in won der, in view ot G>e nuuiber- tna^nn tiue aud Obscurity of their origin. Theie are sev eral hundred of these works in the valley of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and some of them are found to be filled with thousands of human skeletons, indicatirg that they were places uf deposit of the dead. They also hear the appearance of having been contiguous to some large and populous city. Many strange and curious antiquities have been, from time to time, exhumed from those mounds, and is it most signifi cant, that in a great majority of instances there exists a remarkable resemblance be tween these relics found in the nineteenth century, and articles which were known to have been used among the Romans, Grecians, and Egyptians, before the days of Christ?—Cleveland Platndealer. cuarlev nisex’s watchwsid. BY COUSIN NICELY. One frosty morning in antumn. as Mr- Jones, the carpenter, was going with his men to work in the town of Ashby, lie met just at tbe entrance of the town, a pale fa ced thinly clothed boy, who, aAer looking at him earnestly for a moment, asked ‘Aro you a carpenter and do yon wish an ap prentice?’ Well, I don’t know; what’s your name my lad,’ said the carpenter with a kind smile* ‘Charley Mason’ was the answer. ‘And where is your home Master Charley?’ con tinued good Mr Jcnes. Big tears came into the boy’s bright black eyes, ami his voice trembled as he said ‘I have no home; my father and mother both died before 1 can remember.’ Mr.Jones thought of his own dear boys, and he placed his band kindly upon Char ley’s head, saying ‘Poor boy, where have you lived?’ •With my uncle, hut I left his house last night, determined to starve before I would he longer dependent on a man who grudged his dead brother’s child the bread he ate” and Charley’s eyes burned with a stange light. The good carpenter wiped away the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand, and asked ‘Do yon think you can learn to be a carpenter?’ ‘I think I can try, said Charley, proudly drawing him self up. ‘Ah! I like that, and if that is to be yonr watchword, 1 think yon and I can get on nicely but I suppose you’ve had no breakfast,” continned Mr. Jones, “so we must send Torn back to show you the bouse, where you will stay till we come home to dinner, and then we'll talk a lit tle about your being a carpenter.” Tom, a little colored boy who did errands for 3Ir. Jones, readily went back with Charley, taking himself the little bundle tied np in an old blue handkerchief, which con tained all Charley’s earthly possessions. Mrs. Jones proved as kind as her husband, and the poor, tired, hungry hoy was soon enjoying a bountiful breakfast. When Mr. Jones came home, he had a long talk with Charley, who finxlly became his ap prentice. l*e was to work four years for his food and clothes, having besides the privilege of attending school four months in each year. ‘That isn’t much time for learning ’ said Charley to himself that night, ‘but 1 guess I can get a chance to learn something out of school; anyhow, I can try.’ And he did try, and succeeded so well that Mr. Jones said to him at the ciose of the first winter, ‘well Charley, the master says you are one of the best boys in school and thinks we’ll make something of yon by and by. with that watchwo.d of yours: but, my boy, do you think you will like work as well as study?” ‘No, sir; but I’ll work that I may stndy, was the answer. All through the spring, the summer and the autumn, Charley wor ked, earnestly, faithfully and at the close of each day, tired as he was, he always contrived to get a little time for study. Say, Charley,’ said Willie Jones, one night, ‘all the < oys say you are a dull prig; what makes you so sober? Why don’t yon come out of an evening and not stay moped up in the house with a book all tbe time?* 1 mi st STUDY,’ said Charley grave ly. 1 shall want to go to college by and by.’ ‘O pob! poll!’ laughed Willie,’ that’s a good one; why father can’t send any one of us to college, and how are yon ever go ing, when you don’t have anybody to help you?’ Perhaps I never can, but ‘I can try’. ’I don’t wander father calls it your watch word; do you ever expect to know enoughto go to college?’ ‘Yes. if I live,’ said Char ley seriously. But what does a carpenter wan’t to gc to college for? ’persisted Wil lie; ‘Idon’t see any use in it. ‘Willie.’said Charley, speaking in a quick excited way, ‘you musn’t ask me any more questions: but I’ll tell you, I don’t alw*ays mean to be a carpenter.’ Week after week, month after month, year 8fter year.Charley Mason kept on hia coarse, never idle never unfaithful; he yet worked as though be had some higher ob ject in view, and night after night found him bending over his hooks, heedless ef the sport in which the hoys tried tomqke him join. The four years came to an er.d, and Mr. Jones now gave him wages for his work, saying, ‘1 know you’ll be worth two common hands to me, Char ley,’ and so he was, working and study ing, now harder than ever, for he was fast reaching the point at which be aimed. It was well known now, that Charley had decided to be a minister, and that he was now at work to earn money to assist him in his studies. About the time that his term as apprentice expired, Mr. Jones contracted to build a church in Ashby, and of course. Charley was employed up on it. One day while they were at work ou the roof, Willie Jones called out, ‘Say, Charley, anybody would think you expected to preach in this church, by tbe way you put on those shingles.’ ‘Strang er things than that have happened,’said Charley quietly. A laugh from the work men, and then the incident was forgotten. Charley achieved his darling plan of entering college; though in doing so, he overcame many an obstacle at which even stonter hearts would have quailed, but he said “God help those who help themselves and I can try.” His college life was a hard one, for he was still dependent on his own exertions, and it would make your heart ache to hear of his privations, yet he never complained but kept earnestly to his one purpose and nobly has he accomplished it. 1 his day Charley Mason is pastor of the congregation who worship in the very church be helped to build, and hundreds look ap to him and bless him as their guide to heaven. Remember bis watch word, boys; remember, that with God’s blessing upon earnest, faithful, untiring effort you may too become like him, good and useful men, men who perhaps may be unknown in the great world, but men blessed of God and of yetir fellows. Who would not rather be good than great, yet who shall say that Charley Mason was not a here? And'is he not now laboring te guide sinful men to Heaven? Is be not, 1 say, a greater as well as a better man, than theleader of vast annies or the rules of nation*? .
