Mr. Editor ■ Knowing the disposition of manv r v ur readers to see examples of patriotism, anil rhe - dotations I Lave bad, is tny only apology for -A' in; you a narrative which came under my own •bservation, which you can use for what it is worth It will be remembered that war was declared bv the United States against Great Britain, in June, shortly after, General Orders were issued : Ge -rgia for a draft of Militia for regular service I iken resided in Lincoln countv. A general par ad was ordered, a company volunteeied, and i "s* soon after elected to command ibe same, hor some ten months nothing occurred worthv f note, only a regular course of drill and discip line. I think it was on the 12th August, 1813, b> rder of Col. Walton Harris, my company paraded at Lincolnton for review, and preparatory for en tering service, at which time three or four substi tutes were ollered by those whose business would not permit of their leaving at that season. And among the rest, the hero of my story, “LittleSau> Y'alkor,” with whom 1 was then unacquainted. He had not volunteered, for his age and size twelve months before, had not brought him into notice ; but now he had grown up and became very anx ious to go into the army. He was not vet seven teen years old, of sallow complexion ani feminine voice, and weighed about one hundred and fifteen pounds. After the review, he was offered as a sub stitute, when the following dialogue ensued Col Harris—Young man, how old are you? .Sain Walker—About seventeen, sir. Col. H.-—Sir, von are very small to go in the army. H. W . —l am, sir, but lam very willing to trv it Col. H. -Do von suppose you are able to carry a musket, knapsack, Ac., and march thirty miles a day* H- W Ido not know, sir, but I think I can go aa far as any of the others. Col. ll.—Are your parents willing? H. \V .—I have m.ne, sir—thev are dead. Col. H. Then is your guardian willing? S. W. —I have no guardian either. Col. H.—Have you no friend or relations who j would object ? S. W . Squire Bond, sir, is is mv uncle, and tin biisign is my brother. Col. 11. Call Ensign Walker. The Ensign was accordingly called and critical ly examined about the age, health, Ac., of his broth- ' .*1 He said he had 110 objection to his brother’s! going, butteared that he was rather voung aud treble to undergo the many hardships Incident to u soldier's life. Whereupon Col. Harris observed. “ Young man, you must stay at home a while long te. and eat more mush, and grow fast, and wait 1 r the next tour of duty. 1 regard you too small i > take —you are therefore dismissed.'’ Sam Walker turned off reluctantly and morti !ied. I then received instructions to have mv com pany equipped and paraded, at Lincolnton, in two weeks troin that time, to take up our line of march for the Creek Nation, which was accordingly done 1 the 2*l th of August, lblU. Previous to mv de parture, 1 was accosted in the street by Sam Walk- 1 er, who said : " Captain, will you let me go with you in the i army ?” To which I replied in the affirmative. “ But will you see me paid and draw mv ra tions?'’ "Certainly I will, sir,” was mv prompt answer. W ell, Captain, where will you cam]) to-night?" I “At Freeman’s Spring, five miles off.” “That's all I wished to know. Now sav noth ing about it, and 1 11 lie with you before dav,” whispered my young friend, as we parted. Sometime after, Joseph Walker, the Ensign, nsded me confidentially what Sam intended to do. 1 told him. He then observed if be would go, and it I would let him go as a substitutes, that lie knew dollars, aud that lie might us well have it as noth «ne who would give him all his equipage aud thirty ; ing. I consented, and Sam was soon after pre sented to me as a substitute and accepted, to the 'ratification of the company, and marched off from Lincoln, with his companions, in regular line to ! tort Hawkins, where they' soon drew their guns ' ind bayonets, and the sentinels posted. On the third night Sam Walker was put on guard. And here 1 must observe that the General had not yet arrived, and Col. Harris, bv seniority, had command of the whole army. The Colonel, in company with one .Major, three Captains and two Doctors, walked out that evening in the neigh- , liorhood of Fort Hawkins. During their absence I ihe Officer of the Day changed the countersign. On their return, at a late hour of the night, they were accosted by Ham Walker, just after his being placed on guard, who hailed, “Who comes there?” Col. Harris replied, “The grand rounds.” S. W.—Advance, sir, and give the countersign. The Colonel advancing, gave a sign. S. W.—Stop, sir, that is not the countersign, and you are a prisoner, sir. Col. ll.—You dare attempt to stop me? S. W.—Yes, and you dare to pass me, sir, and I'll put my bayonet through you, ( at the same time charging upon the Colonel. ) Col. fl.—(ln a bold and commanding tone) — Sir, nothing but vour ignorance prevents me from 1 taking your head off. S. W—You can try it it vou like, but if you at vmpt to pass here I will kifl you if I can. C'd. H. more boldly and enraged)—You G—d darn'd little scoundred, do you know who you are talking to, and that 1 am the Commander of this army? If I don’t pass. I'll have yotu head taken ■ff to-morrow. S. W.—Well, sir, if you pass here I’ll have my bayonet in you to-night, uud so all of you set 1 'iirselves down as prisoners for the guard-house. 1 know you, Col. Harris., They all obeyed the orders except the one in the reai-, who, during the confab, stole back aud went round, and by some other sentinel got through the i lines, lie then immediately applied to Maj. Groves, the officer of theday,to go tothe relief of his friends. The Major, on encountering Sam, was hailed with, “ who comes there?” Maj. G. -The grand rounds. S. \V.—Advance and give the countersign. The countersign was given. S. \V. — Right, sir; pass on. Maj. G. —But 1 come to releas tha prisoners vou have. S. \V.—pass on, sir; you can’t have them. Maj. O—But 1 must have them—l am the officer of the dav, and have a right to take them. S. \V.—l tell vou to pass on, sir, for you shall not have them till I deliver them at the guard house. The Major then passed on, and the prisoners saw no prospect of relief, until the two hours passed round. Thev then resorted to a stratagem. One of them -aid he was very thirsty, and proposed g' iug to the spring, close by, and all rose to their teer, f,. r that purpose, when Ham cried out, “stojj. ; ' a man leaves only at the risk of his life, finding thev could not scare Ham, one ot them appealed to his liberality and humanity. W here upon Sam said, if they would pledge their honor is gentlemen, and leave their swords and hats in ais 1 is> idy, they could go. This was the hardest trial . t all; but finding themselves so completely • sled, and thinking yet to succeed, they submitted and drew off their swords and hats and went to th- Spring, where a consultation was held, which resulted in the belief that they could never suc ceed. And thev returned in time for Sant to march them up to the guard-house, at the expiration of his two hours. Soon in the morning Ham cam > to my tent and teiated to me the whole circumstance, and ex pressed some fears from the threats of Col. Jlar ns ; but when i told him that he had done exactly l ight, and that 1 would stand between him and all damages, he assumed a confidential air. The whole affair went like electricity, and Little Ham Walker was sought after, aud soon became as noted in the army as Col. Harris. He served a faithful tour through the campaign, and at the battle of Co’leba, the 27th of January, he received a bull in the shoulder. When the bat tle was over, and the wounded collected for surgi cal operations, I went to see them, when Sam’s first salutation was, “ Well, Captain, thev have p;ve it to me, bu’ they have not got me vet.” We »oon had the ball extracted, when Bam claimed it of the Doctor, and said if the Indians returned, he -mended to give it back to thorn. He did his duty like a hero, and returned to Lincoln, the theme of praise in every crowd. R. Parks.

He have before us the correspondence submit ted to Congress on Saturday between the Post it master General and the Panama Railroad Com mvJi’K n , re atl °A to 'ke charge for carrying the : ; mails between Aspmwall and Panama. The first letter, dated February 15, 1855, is from the Hon James Campbell, in which lie refuses to pay more ban ten cents a pound for the conveyance' of the mails across the Isthmus—that being the regular prite of transportation according to the Panama Railroad Company’s tariff of rates. .Mr. Hpies, Secretary of the C'omnanv in t S he e siirect! e r d ”'° uld la - v the Imltier befor< ’ ! authorized v o thel . r next meeting, but that until ■ riatS m tSrir C °’ ,ld not asrce ‘° M - v vu ' David Hoad lev, President of the Company, ad * awssed a letter to Mr. Campbell on the 23d Feb i niarv m which he called attention to the fact that tiie charge of ten cents per pound on freight car ned across the Isthmus, does not exclude the ex pense of responsibilities of putting the goods on . hoard of vessels in the Bay of Panama, nor of con i vevmg them from ship to shore, fifteen cents be ing charged tor the performance of that duty. . Moreover, the Company is unwilling that the Uni ted States Mail should be consideredin the light of mere merchandise. Mr. Hoadley considers the enterprise in which the Company is engaged to be purely national, and he therefore thinks that it j deserves the sympathy and reward of the Govern ment. The next letter is from Mr. Campbell, dated March 29,1855, to Mr. Ward, the United States Consul at Panama, requesting the latter to furnish all information in his power on the subject. On the same day Mr. Campbell writes to Mr. ! Hoadley that he is willing to par eighteen cents per pound but no more. -Mr. Iloadley answers this letter onjtho 31st, and ! hopes that Mr. Campbell will withdraw his letter ot the 29th for the purpose of negotiating a con tract for some specific annual compensation for the service. On April Mr. Campbell replied that he was not prepared to enter into a permanent contract of the nature referred to by Mr. Hoadley. Mr. Ward writes from Panama, April Its, that ! the live cents difference between the railroad charge anil the transportation prices was not mere ly for the transportation from the railroad to the ship, but for the responsibilitv incurred bv the care of the baggage front New Vork to Han Fran cisco. Mr. Campbell, on the ISth of Mac, 1855, writes Mr. Hoadly that after that date he 'will not allow more than eighteen cents a pound. On the 11th of September, Mr. Campbell noti fied Mr. Hoadley that he had made an order recog- j nizing the service of the Company in transporting the mail between Aspmwall and Panama, frotii April 14 to July 1 inclusive, at the rate of eighteen cents per pound. Mr. Hoadley, on the tfth of October, states that the Company has decided that it could not, in jus tice to itself, accede to the reduction of rates, and that there was, therefore, a balance of $8,260 G« i due the Company for the quarter endintc June 8. Mr. Campbell writes, October lx, that, as the i Company has greatly reduced its charges iu trans porting other kinds of freight, there is no reason • why they should not do the same with regard to the mails. November 15, Mr. Campbell writes Mr. Wnt. H Aspiuwall that lie has received a proposition front Mr. A. on behalf of the Panama Company to con- j tract for the conveyance of the mails a’ross the Isthmus of Panama Tor three years, at the rate ot $125,000 per annum. Mr. Campbell has no an- j i thority to contract for the service without first ■ inviting proposals and giving'sixty days’ no-! tice by advertisement. Mr. Campbell writes Mr. A. Hoffman, Secretary | of the Panama Company, Fob. 12, ISSG, that his i attention has been directed to a letter addressed by Mr. IL, on the 9th of February, to the United j Htates Treasurer, calling his attention to an ul- ; legod unsettled balance of $18,093.88 due the j Panama Company on account of transportation of 1 mails. Mr. C. considers the claim unreasonable, and it will not be recognized by tho Department. Mr. Whitewright, President pro. tem. of the ! Panama Company, says, 011 the 20th of February - that the Company will not lake less than twenty - 1 two cents per pound. He calls attention to the j fact that Great Britain and other countries are j paying at that rate. On the otli of April, Messrs. Win. 11. Aspiuwall j 1 and Henry CUauucey, writes Mr. Campbell tha! 1 Postmaster General Hall agreed with the Compa nv to pay twenty-two cents per pound. Tho mails j were carried at that rate for three or four years, j 1 during which time the Company had been" com polled to undergo considerable expense iu mule ■ hire, Ac. Now, however, the road was completed. 1 and the Company could offer superior advantages j 1 in point of time, dispatch, Ac. The Company j j therefore considers its claim to be just and valid 1 At the same time it had given Mr. Campbell every ! opportunity of making a contract on fixed terms. 1 On the 12th of April, 1856, Mr. Campbell ad- j * dressed a letter to Messrs. Aspiuwall k Chauucey, in which he states that prior to Dec. 1, IS.")], the mails were carried across the Isthmus under an arrangement with New Granada, at a fraction over seventeen cents per pound. By the temporary ar rangement of October, 1851, the Panama Company was allowed twenty-two cents per pound, that be ing the maximum price authorized by law. No such contract was signed by P. M. Hall, as he had no authority to make any contract without first advertising. At that time the amount of mail matter was small, and the difficulty' of transport ing it great, compared to what it is at present. This increase of the mail, however, involves little if any additional expense to the company, while it would have been otherwise had the means of trans portation continued the same. In February, 1855, when Mr. Campbell learned the reduction of freight and baggage to ten cents per pound, he deemed it his duty to claim a similar reduction on the ratcol carrying the mail. Mr. C. reviews the correspon dence related above. Taking forty cents per pound as the maximum charge of Express Compa nies for carrying freight from New York to San Francisco, he shows that the United States would pay the Panama Company over $500,000 more an nually, at eighteen cents per pound, than it would cost to have ihe mail conveyed by Express. But as the company have refused to take the mails for less than twenty-two cents per pound, rather than cause the trouble and disasters which must follow an interruption of the mails, Mr. Campbell will ' give twenty-two cents per pound, and will submit the facts in the euse to the President, hoping that he will lay the matter before Congress, and that a remedy may speedily he found. The next letter is dated April 16, and is from Mr. Campbell to the President. Mr. Campbell shows the. disparity between the price paid the Erie railroad for conveying the mail nineteen times weeklv four hundred and sixty miles and the price paid the Panama Company for carrying the mail forty- eight miles semimonthly'. He sug gests that a fixeii annual rate of compensation be paid the Company regardless of the weight. In conclusion, Mr. Campbell recommends the pas sage of an act authorizing the PnstmnstcrOeneral to contract with the Panama Railroad Company for the conveyance of the mails across the Isthmus of Panama a’t a price not exceeding $50,000 per annum, and to contract for the semi-monthly con vevance of the mail from New York and New Or leans to San Francisco via Nicaragua, alternating at regular intervals with the present line via Pa nama, at a sum not exceeding S2«O, per annum. St BSTircTit for a Marriage License.— The “Stars and Stripes, ’’ we know, says the Savannah Republican, are regarded ns a protection to Ameri can citizens abroad, hut we have iieard of hut one case in which they have been held os conferring exemption from legal enactmeuts at home. It i recorded in the Journal, of the 6th instant, in its notice of the arrival of the Keystone State, as fol lows : “ On her arrival, a very interesting ceremony , took place on board. We allude to the marriage of Joseph h. lilvler, formerly of Philadelphia, now of Savannah, to Miss Jennie E. Wright, of Phila delphia. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Coleman, of Trinity Church, Philadelphia, who came passetiger. In the absence of a license from . the Court of Ordinary of Chatham county, in ac cordance with the laws of Georgia, duly made and provided, Capt. Hardie claims that no such license was necessary, as the Stars and Stripes floated over the scene. The gallant Captain has a right to hit own wav, and whatever he sanctions before the court lit hymen on the decks of his noble vessel beneath his country 's flag, is, of course, all right ij n t ; ie courts upon "earth, and undoubtedly will hi sanctioned in the court of heaven.'’ > A Nice Family of Sisters. —The Newark (N.

Tin woman is one of a family of six sisters, namet Rverson, five of whom have left their husband aiid eloped with other men. All six ha\e beei married, and not one lives with a lawful husbant at the present day ; five having eloped, and th. onlv remaining one deserting her husband, or re . . fusing to live with him.

Mr. Bayard did not conclude his remarks. After an executive session the Senate adjourned.

It went through both branches at the end of the last Congress, but for want of time failed to receive the Executive approval. Passed bv sixtv-eight majority. The House passed the bill specifically defining the objects for which the balance of the appropri ation for the improvement of the Savannah river shall he expended. | ft Mr. Cliugman asked leave to offer the following- A joint resolution for the better protection of American citizens. i it Resolved by the Semite and Bnue "f Represen tatives oj the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That for the better protection of the persons and property of American citizens under the law of nations, and as secured by existing : treaty stipulations, with reference to the thorough fares or lines of travel between the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the President of the I nited Htates be, and he is hereby authorized to employ any part of the land or naval forces of the country, and to call for aid and use auy number of volunteers that may be necessary to provide for the safety of passengers and others of our citizens in those localities; and such forces may be used by him in aid of the local authorities, or otherwise, to insure the observance of such rights as the Government of the United Htates and its citizens are entitled to enjoy. Objection having been made, Mr. Cliugman moved a suspension of the rules. Mr. Stephens nsked Mr. Clingman what he pro posed to do with the resolution. Mr. Clingman replied that lie thought it ought to pass ; but if the House should refer it, he would have no objection to that. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, understood that the resolution authorized the President to take posses ■ sion ot Centra! America Ila did not want tt done at this time. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, asked Mr. Clingman - whether, if the rules should bo suspended, he would give him ati opportunity to offer an amendment looking to the annexation of the British Provinces? Mr, Clingman said he would make no motion which would cut off such au amendment. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, remarked that if the House should now adjourn, the resolution would go over till Monday next, and therefore he made a motion to that effect. 111 the meantime, they could read the proposition in print. The motion to adjourn was lost. An ineffectual motion was then made that there ho a call of the House. Another motion was made to adjourn, which pre vailed—yeas GB, nay# 65.

I find that by putting it in the form s of a Soap it gives it a decided advau- jlßall tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment, , or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir tues from being impaired by age or climate, and , renders it very convenient for use.

This article, there fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers, !

[ Esq. Barker, of New Canter, 111., says Mr. 11. G. Farrell s Arabian Liniment has cured some bad cases here, which every other remedy had failed in ; one was a white swelling and 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 was fust sinking I tv the gran:, when the boy’s father was induced to j try 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before the j • first bottle was used up, he cauie to Mr. B.’s store, 1 ami the first words he said were, “ Sir. Barker, I ; want all that Liniment you have in the store; the j one bottle I got did m v boy more good than all that J had ever been done before’.” That boy is now welt j 1 and hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good j for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings. Loot: out for Counterfeits' The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called W. It.

He might in troduce many others, but the Plow Stock will speak for itself whenever examined. J AMES'B. 31 ELL. • Riceboro’, Liberty county, Ga. This is to certify that I have, with my own hands, thoroughly tested the newly invented Plow Stock of James B. Mell, Esq. In point of simplicity and perfection, I have never seen or used its equal. In it is combined every thing that I could wish in a Plow Stock, and it, in ray opinion, is the cheapest and the besi that has ever been offered to the pub lic. I speak from having used it with my own hands. I was raised to follow the plow, and think ; that l know how one ought to run. I would cheer fully thank any one, who will thoroughly try it, to point out to me one single fault in it. It is easier upon the horse and the plowman than any that I have ever used. The principle upon u bich you regulate the depth i of the Plow is so simple, and yet so perfect, as to j commend itself to any one , and the Stock is adapt ed to any kind of Plow Hoe.

DYSPEPSIA—ITS CURE. rpiIURE is, probably, no disease that afilicts so large a portion of the human family • uo disease -hat stands m. prominently among the’list ot “incurables;” none for which more cures hare been sought after; none treated with so little sat istaction by physicians, and none, probably that h,s eabed forth so much renewed exertion and hard study fur the discovery of a cure, as the dt ease, Dyspepsia. Cures have been sought after m change ot physician, change of medicine, chance ot diet, change of locality and climate, chance of occupation and habits, but all to little or no pur pose; the disease continues, and the sufferer after years of unrequited labor in search of relief lost to all hope of recovering, sinks into despondency and gloom which no change of scene or circunl stance can relieve. His disease is ever present before him, and his mind, the theatre of dark and gloomy Thoughts, is continually calling up ghosts ot buried and by gone pleasures, aud he looks to ward to a future where dissatisfaction, discontent' misery and suffering are most gloomily and nro’ mine ulv portrayed : irascible, fretful, distrustful even of his nearest and best friends, he drags our an existence, not only an incumbrance to himself but burdensome to his friends, his acquaintances’ and his own family. * To all such I would recommend attention to the remedy known as “BLISS'S DYSPFPTrr* dx MEDV”-a remedy new, very simple in i,/ com position, but from the manner of its combination possessing curative properties surpassing any and every preparation known that has ever vet been prepared for the cure of Dyspepsia. It" is .„u. speedy and etiectual, and may be relied upon with every confidence, tor it will not fail even under the most discouraging circumstances, or with the most stubborn case, no matter of how long standing providing the patient is willing not only to follow directions as regards taking the medicine but oth er directions accompanying. The proprietor is well aware that ihe same pro mises have been and are being made Through al most every print m the country, as regards other preparations ot like character, and that bv adver using aud heralding its virtues to the public l", is only following in the beaten track of those ’who’ have gone before him, and who have promised -ir,l assured the same perfect and speedy cures • vet i it seems the only course left to be pursued he must adopt it -and ,n doing so, he is fully conscious tha whatever he may sav of Us virtues, i, will bv ma ny, be regarded as the “old story” mam factuml tor the purpose of extracting money from toe nockets of victims of disease, who would in the tape of finding relief part with their last dime He would, however, ask for a suspension of opia ion until a single package has been tried bv them selves or their friend, and then if be has held out inducements for its purchase, or made prrouises as regards its curative properties that are not made good by the preparation, he then is willing that it should be condemned. 'Tlie remedy is no new preparation with the pro prietor—but a well tried prescription that he has used in his private practice for ten years, and al ways with the happiest results. In the using of it. a cure may not only be expected, but an immediate abatement of symptoms may be looked for within a day or two. To all suffering from Dyspepsia, one trial is re commended, and if that, trial is made in good faith, in accordance with directions the invalid may have every hope of recovery.
