We desire such of our subscribers as may a any tiiuo wish the direction of their papers chain ged from one Post Oilice to another, to inform us, in all casts, of the place to which they had been previously sent; as the mere order to for- | waid them to a different office, places it almost •utof our power, to comply, because we have no means of ascertaining the office from which they i are ordered to be changed, but a search through ! •ur whole subscription Book, containing severe thousand names.

Dear Sir:— l am this morning in receipt of your favoui of the 18th instant, requesting to ‘ have some of the Balm sent out to your State as * soon as possible. Such is the pressing demand ! in every section, that 1 hive, as vet, not been ; able to supply the orders that have been some . | time on hand. I have had an order from Au- ; t gusta, Georgia, and Savannah, since last win- ' I ter, and only last week sent one gtoce to each t place. Dr. E. R. Calhoun, of South Carolina, has contracted for that State and Georgia, and ' 1 have shipped to him near five thousand hot ties, all that 1 could spare. As soon as I can, 1 1 will send him more; but when, I cannot say, as , i 1 must divide it as well as I can, until I can sup ply each State fully. I willdomyself the pleas- : ure of requesting Dr. Calhoun to establish ana- < gency at your office as soon as other engage t meats will allow. I have been putting up near ly two thousand per day, and now find myself 1 in want of about fifty thousand for immediate ’ use, and have not fifteen bottles, but what are I packed up for shipment. From the present de- i ] maud, 1 should not be surprised, if it were to ' take five hundred thousand bottles a year to sup ply the demand. i . Yours respectfullv, &c. 11. B. MONTAGUE. > ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. j Albemarle, April, 1836. , Dear Sir:— We suppose you tike good news, particularly when you are mostly interested, i We have hut two bottles left of the box of Balm you sent us, \ <>u can draw at sight for § ,! ’ which we believe will be the amount, after de- j i ducting commission and expenses We will * thank you to send to our friends, Messrs. * * *, | of Richmond, by first conveyance, a double box, j which you will put at your wholesale price, for ' . which you can also draw on us. It has failed in two instances in this neighborhood, but one of I the persons that we have seen, thinks it was! i (with him) rheumatism, as he had the tooth drawn, and the pain still continued. Several persons have used it, with defective 5 1 ' gums, or scurvy, and are so much delighted with i i it, that we are charged to keep asupplv. The ! ladies arc using it with the tooth-brush, and say ! that it is the best thing for the teeth and gums . thev have ever used. We are glad, for the sake of the suffitrers, as well as on your account, 1 Wat this remedy is not only not of Northern or i igin, (from whence all the patent nostrums 1 come,) but is a Virginia preparation, and by a I ‘ Virginian. Nor does it detract from its efficacy, ! <on account of the place of its preparation, (Pe- 1 tersburg.) once styled by Mr. Jefferson, the I “cockale of zkm.trica.” It seems to us, that i all you now have to d >, is to see to it, that yon keep a sttpjilv sufficient for the demand—for if it sells elsewhere as it has done Ivre, there will he no end to the demand. Several merchants of mv acquaintance, mean to send for a box. Allow us to congratulate you, and the public, at the discovery and use of the oirly remedy (ex cept drawing) for tooth-ache, that has yet been discovered. Respectfully vours, R. R. & T. T. G. Huntington, ( near Cabin Point, 24th March. ( ; Dear Sir: I bought a bottle of vonr Balm 1 from Messrs. , in Petersburg, in Februa- ry, chiefly because I had a servant who had snffeied most exerutiatinglv for some months. We had tried all the remedies which were in our reach ; an attempt was made to extract the tooth, but broke it off. I caused the Balm to be used after warming it in a cup—this was re -1 peated with a second spoonful, when she vas entirely relieved. The next night she came for more, saying that a tooth on the other side ached, and also lequested some for her Inishand 1 who, she said, had hr en steering with the same disease for some weeks. I cheerfully gave it, and the next day on inquiry found tliat both were relieved. One of my neighbors of high respec tability sent to me for some for his wife. I ■ have this day seen him, and he assures me that , I it afforded immediate relief, an I there has been ! no return; before she suffered almost constant - , ly, and could not he ir t> I t < - oUI w ver touch the tooth, and for two nights previous to theap -1 plica'ion,she had not been able tn sir eu scarce ly a! all. Now she his tin iu'-onveirenrc from i col l water or any tiring else that corm s in con tact with the tooth. The night before last he use ! some with one of bis own men, w ith the i same success, and says if he coulrl have havr-had i this remedy fifteen years ago, and known its </- i ficaev, he ' v old I wiHin'/lv have given a hundred I dollars for it, I have written in haste giving a 1 plain statement offacts.

How dark would be the form ol night Careering in her dusky car ! ’Tis thus enlivening woman cheers y Mari’s gloomiest hour with fond caress, When nought of kindred life appears To soothe the pangs of deep distress. AnTt yrt Hbw oft his reckless heart Neglects lier in her reign ofbliss— ’Tis only in affliction’s smart. We truly know what woman is. Then wherefore, man, forget that friend. When fortune’s brighter planets shine I Remember, when their beauties end, Hom dark the night that must be thine ! But thou art like the thoughtless roe. That sports around the fountain’s brink. Nor heeds the rill that glides below, Nor cares its limpid wave to drink. Not so wlicn’’mid the desert’s heat, She feels the pains of thirst begin— 'Oh ! then the bittercstdraugbts were sweet To slake the fire that bums within. So, when with grief and care opprest, How soon we fly to woman’s arms ! And, suppliant round her generous breast. Forget our woes for beauty’s charms 1 What a capital thing it would be in those com plaining hard times, to be blessed with a wife gifted like the lady mentnened in the following lines.: THE POWERS OF MUSIC. Touch, touch once more those keys ofibone,* And let me hear those notes again ; Though notes of hand, unlike my own, They give more pleasure farthan pain. Now with those strings, I pray my dear, Unite that siker voice of thine; For silver sounds still please my ear, Though I can call no silver mine. Music, the poet tells us, can Make soft the flinty rocks with ease, I wish my creditors, dear Ann, Were present when you touch the keys. Thy notes should liquidate each bill, Such power would.have thy melting strain, And give Pilgarlic courage still To try his bettor luck again. Fast by your chords of music bound, Loosened should be my bonds of debt.; And listening to vour change of sound., Duns should their sounding change forgtt. •The keys of the Piano Forte are some times made of bone, and sometimes of ivory. jyffasceElzasaeoos. ITMoT)ITi<N ROYIANCR ' The following trial is a perfect modern romance. M.de Pontalba is one of the greatest proprietors, of France. His son had been a page of Napoleon’s, and after wards a distinguished officer, aid-de-camp to Marshal Ney, and a protege of the Duke ol'Elchingen. He marr ed the (laughter of Madame <FAlmonaster, and for some time they lived happily J but on the death of her mother, Madame de Pontalba began to indulge in such extravagances that even the enormous fortune ol the Poutalba’s was unequal to it. This led to some remon strance on the part of the husband ; on the morning alter whieh site disappeared from the he vl, and neither he nor her children had any clue to her retreat. At last, after an interval <»f some months, arrives a letter from her to her husband, dated New Or leans, in which site annotmees that she means to apply fora divorce; but for eigh teen months nothing more was heard of her except by her drafts for money. At last she returned, but only to afflict her family. Her son writs nt the military academy of bl, Cvr—-she induced him to run away, autl the liov was plunged in every species of ex pense. This afflicted, in the deepest man ner, bis grandfather, who revoked a be quest whi< hhe had made him ofabout four thousand pounds a year, and seemed to ap prehend for him nothing but future ruin and disgrace. The old man, eighty-two years of age, resided io his chateau at Mont Leveqile, whither in October 1834, Ma <l;hdc de Poutalbii wt?ul to aiteinpt <1 recon ciliation with the wealthy senior. I hen and there occurred the most extraordinary and unaccountable scene that, though we have read a hundred French novels, we ever met with. On tho ninete« nth of Oc tober, the day after Madame de Pontalba’s i arrival, she found she could make no im -1 presston on the father-in-law, and was ’ about to return to Paris, when old M. de ’ Pontalba, at the age of eighty-two, obser ving a moment when she was alone, in her apartment, entered with a brace of double -itirelled pistols, locks the door, and appron < -Iting his astonished daughter-in-law, de - sires her “to recommend herselfto God, > for that she has but a few minutes to live; 1 mt he does not even allow her one minute —he fires immediately, and two balls enter 1 her left breast.
