Andrews : Seeing s statement in jrour las* j paper that the book published by Mr. T. 1). Petej sou, entitled ‘ Courtship and Marriagi ; or, Joys I and Sorrow* of American Life,” was not written j by Mr*. Hents. it struck n* that you were speaking perhaps too soon, and the children of the deceased ; not haying teen this rmui hook, and knowing that 1 Mrs. 11. had not written any book with that title, ] are themselves in error. The name alone is a forgery, the book itself being an old acquaintance ■ which we have had upon our counter for years, 1 and we have every reason to suppose it. a genuine I production of the late Mrs. Heinz. It is, in fact, a | collevtioft of her shorter tales, of which the well j 1 known “Mob Cap” is one, strung together under j a new title by the publisher, and palmed off on ; the public as a bran new book, and Mrs. Hentr’s ! very last. Not a very creditable proceeding we ! confess. A Booicsrl!.ke. Pihuanits.—-Admitting the above to be a correct statement of tho facts of the case, we do not think i that T. U. Peterson is thereby exhonerated from j the charge of an attempted and successful fraud S 1 upon the public, lie announced the work “Court ! ship and Marriage,” as the M work of Mrs. H., J ; auu held out tho idea that it was a consecutive I . volume, never before published. Instead, how i ever, of this being so, the volume is now declared | to boa collection of Mrs. Hems’* fugitive pieces, j published in newspapers and magazines years ago, ! : to which this publisher has nilixed a new title, j which Mrs. H. had not authorized, and probable j never dreamed of. In the most favorable light ' thi* ‘‘trick of trade” can be viewed, it is a scurvy trick, designed to put money in tho publisher’s purse, in an unfair and unmanly manner. It is, in j truth, a swindle—a getting money under false pre- ; fences —otherwise Peterson would have honestly announced, in advance, the true character of the publication.— Georgia Oilieen. j Cutting Tiubee. —If oak, hickory or chesuut j . timber is felled on the eighth month—August—in j the second running of the sup, and barked, quite ; a large tree will season perfectly, and even the ■ twiggs will remain sound for years ; whereas, that ■ cut in winter and remnining till next fall—as thick a* one’s wrist—will be snp-rotten, and will j be almost useless for any purpose. The body of ; the oak split into rails will last more than tea or [ twelve years. Hickory cut in that month is not j i subject to be worm eaten, and will last a long time for fencing. When I commenced farming in 1820, it was the j practice to cut timber for post fencing in the win j ter. White oak post and black oak rails cut at ' : that time, I found would not last more than ten or twelve years. In the year 1828 I commenced eut- j ting fence timber in the eighth mouth. Many of the oak rails #ut that year are yet sound, as well as those formed of chestnut. If" the b*rk is not taken off this month, however, it will peel off it self the second or third year, and leave the sap perfectly sound. The posts of the trees are also ; more valuable for fuel than when cut in winter or , spring. I advise young farmers to try the experiment for themselves, aud if the post fence* will not last twice as long, 1 forfeit all mv experience as worth less. _ SaLARIIW OF CLERKS OF THB BANK OF EnOLAXD. -A clerk in the Hank of England enter# at tho 1 age of seventeen, on a salary of one hundred and j ’ fifty dollar* a year, with an additional hundred if i he "is punctual every _ morning. Ilia salary is in- 1 creased fifty dollars a year till his income reache* ' four hundred dollat* It is then raised twenty ' five dollars a year till it reaches an annual salary ! of five hundred dollars. Prom that time the sala- I • ry is increased at the rate of forty dollars a year till the gentleman ha* worked hi* wav up to" the ‘ comfortable income of thirteen hundred dollars. , 1 But this is not all. Every employee of the bauk is entitled to • re'iring pension of an amount propor- j turned to the number of years be has served. As- 1 ter forty vears' service, wo believe, a clerk is enti tled to’re'tire upon a pension equal to the amount s 0 f the *alarv he enjoyed at the time of his retire -1 ment. When a clerk is absent on leave he for ' feit# thirty-three cents per day—an arrange r ment which has double advantage of securing the e bank from imposition, and of giving a modest * man the courage to ask for leave of absence when i it is necessary ; indeed, the svstetn generally seems r to us the only one by which a faithtul service can be rationally expected.

We received from Havana, by the Black War rior, says the New Orleans Delta, quite a charac ; teristic letter from an old American sailor, who seems thoroughly imbued, perfectly saturated, with “manifest destiny” and fillibuster principles. With infinite alacrity we publish the tarpaulin epistle, as follows : Havana, April 19, 1858. Messrs. Editors: The New Orleans DelUi, of the f ‘l I** 1 ** °i April, seems to apprehend a failure of \\ alker's mavement in Nicaragua; but I can tell them, let Honduras, Guatemala, St. Salvador, Cos ta Rica, and even New Granada, unite and bring all their best forces against him, and they will not prevai'. The country is destined by God to be come civilized and useful to itself and all nations; and Walker’s movement, though only an entering wedge, will lead to that result, under whatever fiag may he raised, call it the fiag of Nicaragua, the United States, or the “Star Republic” of the Atlantic. On the other hand, California will he extending her domain from Kamscatka to the Isthmus of Darien, or Rio San Juan and the Atrato, through the provinces of Choco and Buenaventura, and will bo called the Republic of the Pacific; but all will be in close alliance with the United States. Since writing the above, which was suggested by a hasty glance of your valuable daily, I showed it to an editor ol a Havana paper, who read it ( which i* more than you can do, it is likely,) and he called me an ungodly fillibustero, and said that, if I did not take care 1 would got into prison for expressing such sentiments; and 1 prudently took the hint, and took away at the same time the ob noxious scrawl. This’ reception by the Havana editor very naturally suggested some thoughts per tinent to the occasion about Cuba. She too must be ours. We see captain* are treated like dogs, and every impediment or expense that the big 'or petty officials in that Island can conceive or can command, they impose upon us. But let the “ball roll,” they will bo caught by and by in their own trap. lam an old sailor, and observe the weather and the times and the signs thereof, and therefore my cognomen is, very respectfully, Manifest Destiny.

Ordjnsrv B, C. COMMERCIAL. Augusta Market, May 6, 4 I*, jj. COTTON’.—The last week has been the dullest in the cotton trade we have experienced for some time past. Sympathizing with other markets, the demand here has fallen off’, and prices have rece ded, from the highest point, fully % cent. It is i always an interesting subject of inquiry, to know what has caused a decline in the price of cotton while but little concern is manifested about an ad ranee At the present time, money is plenty; the European war is over ; commerce is open to nearly every port in the world ; freights are low ; the ex tent of the cotton crop is not probably greater than j was anticipated, and evidently not beyond the de j mand for consumption ; there was an active de mand iu Liverpool, and in European markets, at the last accounts ; trade in all the manufacturing districts was buoyant and yarns advancing—and yet, in this country, the cotton trade :3 dull, with a downward tendency in prices. It is true, prices may have advanced a fraction too high here in an ticipation of more favorable accounts from Europe than were received by late steamers. The accounts by the Persia were as favorable as could reasona bly be desired ; and yet, in the face of these, every cotton market in the Union has declined. We re fer to these matters to show that there are heights and depths in the cotton trade, which no man can scale or fathom. There is comparatively nothing doing in this market; and we can only give an index to the trade, by stating that good middling will not read- ' ily command over 10% cents.

DRV GOODS.—Rich flounced Grenadine and Barege Robes are all the rage. Figured Bareges and French Jaconets are in good demand. There is a good supply of new and handsome styles of dress fabrics and Ladies’ furnishing materials. Mourning goods are scarce. All grades of heavy goods have advanced, and are very scarce. Russia Matting and Canton goods are well nigh out of the market, and are high. GROCERY TRADE.—There ha* been but a lim ited business in Groceries the past week, as the spring trade is mostly over, and it is rather early for the opening of the summer business.

The Empire State of the South still ahead, in her Improvements. f BA HIS article wiM compare favora- jn» . | 1 bly with any of like character in the known world. i I find that by putting it in the form jj|jSStF of a Soap it gives ii a decided advan jBBaJj ! tage over any Balm, Saive, Liniment, .sisEMbb or Ointment’that can be made for the cure of dis eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir- I tucs from being impaired by age or climate, aud ! renders it very convenient for use. Its action is prompt, uuu a: ihe same time harm less, as it contains no mh retinal or other prepara tion injurious to the patient. This article, there fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers, Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles, Erysipelas, Scald Head, lich, Nettle Rash, Sail Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly II at, Scurvy, Sore Eves, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac., extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby preventing premature baldness. It is also one of the be3t remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will . cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a superior dentritice to the teeth. Fori shaving soap, it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and ; curing such sores as may be ou the face. In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and particular old sores, this soap has proved a balm 1 indeed, by its wonderful healing powers, j I can procure certificates innumerable were it necessary, but believing that a single cake is only requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, and wismng to avoid everything like humbuggery, I leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, "not doubting they will then declare this to be the ns plus ultra of the age in the healing art.

Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, applied over the temples about three or four times a day, it was entirely removed, and I have felt nothing of it since. I went into the stable one night, to apply it to a horse’s sore leg, and being very lame he stumbled nnd fell against my loirs, crushing and bruising them so badly that they turned black as my hat, rendering them powerless. 1 applied your Liniment, nnd was well enough in a tew days to go about again as usual. 1 also crushed my finger in a shocking manner, by letting a back log tall upon it; your Liniment soon healed it up thimjgh. JOHN B. M’GEE. LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. 6, 1849. [ Lsq. Barker, of Nate Canton, 111., says : ] Mr. H. U. Farrell - * Arabian Liniment has cured some bad cases here, which every other remedy had failed in ; one was a white swelling aud con tracted cords in the leg of a boy twelve years old. The leg had withered away, and was so contracted that he had no use of it. Three doctors had tried their skill upon it in vain, and he teas fast sinking to the grave, when the boy’s father was induced to try 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before the first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store, and the first words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, 1 want all that Liniment you have in the store; the one bottle I got did my boy more good than all that had ever been done before.” That boy is now well and hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings. Look out for Counterfeits ! The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which lias lately made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good laith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil effects. The genuine article is manufactured only by 11. G.
