REMARKABLE CURE OF BRONCHITIS.
New York, Feb. 17, 1848.
Messrs Sands:—Having suffered many years with
a disease of my throat, affecting the larynx, daring
which time I was treated by tbe most distinguished
physicians in Europe and tbe United States, without
receiving any pennanentbenefit, bnt all tbe time my
general health and strengthdeclining.andthe disease
making fearful progress: caustic applications were
used, and whatever else was thought most efficient
for producing a cure; but I am confident tbe deplorable
situation 1 was iu, the laryngitis being accompanied
with phthisis and great difficulty in breathing, would
soon have terminated my life, bad I not obtained re
lief through the medium of your iuvalaableSarsaparil-
la. I must say, gentlemen, when I commenced using
the SarsapariUal did not place much confidence iu its
virtues; and this will not surprise you, when you are
informed I had tried more than fifty different reme
dies daring the past four years, without any success;
but after taking your Sarsaparilla a few weeks, I was
obliged at last to yield to evidence. This marvellous
specific has not only relieved, but cured me; and 1
therefore think it my duty, geutlemen, for the benefit
ofsufferiog humanity, to give you this attestation of
my cure. Yours very truly, D. PARENT.

From theMcbilc Register, 16 th in si.
Gen. Marabcau It. X.amar.
This distinguished gentleman, who lias been
passiug several weeks to our city, left a few days
ngr>, for New Orleans, on his way to Terns. We
are gratified to learn there is sumo probability
that he will hereafter make Mobile the place of
his residence. Ho has always been strongly at
tached to Alabama. In the early times of our
State, he resided at Cahawba, aud conducted fora
while the editorial department of the Free Press,
then published by William Allen. Subsequently
he returned to his native State, Georgia, aud took
a high political stand in the difficulties in which
she was iuvolved with the general Government.—
At the commencement of the Texas Revolution,
Gen. Lamar, with the chivalrous enterprise which
has always msrked his career, at once flew to the
succor of the young Republic, and such was the
gallantry of his conduct at the battle of San Ja
cinto, and throughout the struggle, that ho was
chosen, almost by acclamation. Vice President un
der Houston, and' their second President of the
new government. His admin..ilion did more
to develop the resources, establish the indepen
dence, and elevate tho character of Texas, than
any other which she had during her separate sov
ereignty. it is true the country was brought into
debt, but that was indispensable to the great ben
efits which were secured.
Gen. Lamar was one of the warmest advocates
of annexation, and his voice and pen did much to
achieve that great measure so desirable for both
countries. His patriotic devotion to the land of
his birth was so along, that he was unwillling to
remain nnder another government,—even oilo that
had betowed its highest honors upon him. _
During the Mexican war, an earnest desire was
widely felt throughout the United Statea, that
Gen. Lamar should be appointed to some high
command in the American army,—and President
Polk was anxious, himself, to bestow upon him
the commission of a Brigadier General; but actu
ated liy personal and political antipathies, the Tex-
ian Senators were opposed to the appointment;
and a deserved—honor was tints prevented, to the
detriment of the conntry. Bnt the gallapt soldier
was not to be thus kept from the service of his
country, nnd he volunteered as a private, and sig
nalized himself anew, by his chivalrous achieve
ments at Monterey,—where, although without a
commission, he actually led the Texian troops, in
their celebrated attack upon the plaza of the city'.
But Gen. Lamar not only has the highest distinc
tion as a soldier,—he is also a sound and enligh
tened statesman, an eloquent orator, und a polish
ed and forcible writer. In all these departments,
bis chief characteristic is his earnest attachment
and zealous devotion to the rights and institutions
of our people. A more generous and whole-sonl-
ed patriot never breathed the breath of life. He
is the Bayard of tho South—the chevalier tans
peur el tan* rrproache.
In all tbe private relations of life, Gen. Lamar is
most estimable and respected. Singularly mod
est and unpretending, he is a firm friend, on agree
able companion, and a public spirited citizen..
For these reasons wo are particularly gratified
to hear that he designs making his home in our
city, and are sure that his many estimable quali-
ities, and he distinguished services he has render
ed the country, will be properly appreciated by
the citizens of Mobile, and tha people of Alaba
ma generally.

Maryland and tbo Slave Question.
Iu tbe Iieuse of Delegates, on Saturday, Mr.
Merricb, of Charles county, submitted tbe follow
ing series of resolutions, which were read and laid
over for future consideration :
Resolved, That the State of Maryland ceded to
the United States that part of the District of Col
umbia originally embraced within her territorial
limits in good faith for a permanent seat of govern
ment for tbe Union, relying upon the integrity of
purpose on the part of the General Government,
and upon its strict compliance with tho terms of
cession, in their letter and spirit.
That the State of Maryland never designed, nor
did tbe General Government at the time of tbe
cession contemplate the using of the sovereignty
over the District of Columbia, to the detriment of
tbe local institutions of the State of 5**ryland.
That the State of Maryland is, iu .. cling, posi
tion, and all the features of her Constitution, and
in her laws, essentially, fully, und unequivocally, a
slave-holding end a Southern State.
That any iuterfereuce by Congress with slavery
in the District of Culumbie, would be in violation
of the implied conditions of the cession ; that the
sovereignty and jurisdiction thereby conferred,
should never be exercised to the vital injury of
the State of Maryland ; nnd iu the opinion of this
General Assembly, whenever Congress shall so vi
olate these conditions, the sovereignty over tbe
District of Columbia, ought legally and of right
revert to the State of Maryland.
That the State ol Maryluud loves and values the
Union for the glories of the past, the happiness of
the present, and tho high destinies assigned it in
the future, and she believes that no truly Ameri
can and patriotic heart would wish to disturb tbe
great compromises which have made, and can
alone sustain and preserve it; nor would willinplv
use tbe powers ot the Federal Government for the
purpose of oppressing or trampling upon the rights
anil interests of any of the States.
That we will uot believe tbo Congress of tbe
nation contemplate any such unholy purposes; and
that the ferment upon the subject of slavery is
tbe work of short-sighted and selfish demagogues
and fanatics, seeking a political advancement to
infamous distinction.
That the extreme alternative to which the State
of Maryland, in common with her sister States of
the South, wilh whom she is indissolubly allied by
institutions, interests, nnd sympathies, would be
driven in the event of a disturbance of the great
compromises of the Constitution, or of the aboli
tion ol slavery in the District of Columbia, is too
paiuful for contomplu tion, but itis one from which,
if preseuted, she will not for nn instant shrink,
but meet with the same spirit of firmness which
characterized her when she fought through the
common daugers of the whole country to the con
summation of this great Union.

Some Views on the rriic> of Cotton.
The following letter, written by a planter now
in Liverpool, was received by tho Cambria, and
has been handed to us fur publication, as express
ing the views of an intelligent and observing man
about tbe prices of cotton:
Liverpool, Dec. 15, 1S49.
It is a matter of great surprise, even to spinnert
here, that cottou continues so low iu southern ports,
and that both planters aud factors are found wil
ling mi l ready sellers at current prices; and this
circuit) iiance, in connection with the large receipts
has confirmed them in the idea that the Cry of
“short crop” is all humbug. Had planters and 1'ao-
tors mot the advance of ljd. here iu October, by a
corresponding advaaco to I2J or 15c., and refused
to sell lower, the straggle would only have lasted
a few weeks before purchasers would have given
ia, aud wo should nt this day have an animated do-
maud in this place fur cotton, at from 7 to 7£d. for
middling. Such is tuy firm couviettbn, and uot
ouly mine, hut that of many geutlemen here who
have all opportunities of forming correct opinions
upon tho subject. The accounts sent over from
New York oi the astonishitigiy increasing pros
pects of the yield, in consequence, as they say, ot
the fine open weather, and tho entire absence of any
killing frost, even up to latest dates are such, that
a crop of two and a half millions is confidently ex
pected by spinners, AU parties appear to ho ful
ly represented, both hero and in New York, except
the plauter, who. poor soul, has no chance in this
crowd. Under theso circumstauces, therefore, it
is not to bo woudered at that spinners keep out
of the market as much as they possibly can, until
the actual state of tbe crop becomes more fully de
veloped; but let it uot he understood thereby that
they are uot at work; quite the contrary; if they
are not taking cottou out of the Liverpool market
as fast as was expected, they are using up their
private stocks very rapidly, as all accounts prove;
and instead of short time, spinning fine, etc., they
were iu full work; their business and trade was
never so good as at this moment; they lmvo suc
ceeded in establishing au advance oil their goods,
even ahead of that on cotton, and would at this
moment be ready and active purchaser* iu this
market but for the mist of uncertainty which still
continues to envelope the probable extent of tha
crop, which is attributable wholly to the leverage
applied from New Y’ork, and English exporters in
southern ports, who of course are consulting tlieir
o wu interest by depressing prices as much as pos
sible Acre, in order to take advantage oi its reaction
on your side; but let factors and planters be pro-
pared for this, aud meet it with firmness, ru-.d tho
struggle will he but a short one. This market can
now only be iiiHuenced favorable by your action—•
a little spirit, and you are safe in adding t wo or
three cents per pound tothe value of oD c ntoa
not yet sold. Aud why should faotor* hesitate to
venture upon it? Look at tbe present condition
of tbe world—at least 200.000 bales of stock iu
Europe less than this time last year; a state of com
mercial prosperity unexampled; profound peace;
cheap food; cheap, even redundant, money—in
terest 2£ per ceut.; the Bank of England complain
ing at being obliged to accept gold at standard
value; aud all this iu the face of it deficiency of lull
500,000 bales of American cotton. Why, gcntle-
meu, even your adversaries here are astoui-Iied at
you, und can fall upon no excuse but by suppos
ing that your crop is actually much greater than it
iseven represented to be—say 2,200 001) bales.—
Such is their preseiitidea of our resource? and un
limited capabilities. A great change this, truly.—
But u short time ago they affected to look upon ns
as a vory iusgnificaut people; now they have (at
ieast in cotton) gone to the opposite extreme—iu
fact, they do uot know whut is too extravngent to
believe. But notwithstanding all this, no one hero
doubts if the crop falls materially short of two and
a half milliotts, that cotton must go up to Sjd. be
fore September—a lass quantity will not keep
their mills going, even with all their threats of fine
spinniug. 1 have very reliable information that
machinery constructed for coarse yarns cannot, ex
cept to a limited extent, spin Cue, aud vice versa.
So you may look upon all snch stories as tricks of
trade.
I understood yesterday, that as they bad suc
ceeded in keeping down prices here, and produc
ing a quiet market up to this time, for which
special purpose the screws have been applied for
the last month, that by this steamer largo orders
would go forward, both from the trade nnd for
speculation. Be prepared for this; ami as you have
the reins in your own hands, bold them securely,
looking rather to the extent of the crop :h:tti to tho
state of this market; for, rely upon it that this mar
ket, in future, or for this season at least, is to tako
its tone from yours. I M'ttd you herewith a slip
frooitbe Liverpool Chronicle, of Dec. 1st, in which
>ou will see in whut derision all these lmckceyed
threats of short time, etc., are held here. J think
it high time that piaulers and factors were taking
this matter iff to thetr own bauds, and to regard
their hard-earned produce as a safe article, which
if not commanding its full value to-day, will do so
to-morrow, and not as a thing like the itch, to bo
got rid of as soon as possible. That day has now,
I hope, passed away, and all circumstances com
bine to foreshadow a right aud cheering future to
the cotton planter.
Ten thousand bales have been actually forced
through this market within the last fortnight, by
one house, under special orders to sell from New
York, held over siuce last spring. It ia now order
ed to be sold with a view doubtless to break dowu
this market; yet it remains firm ut a slight decline
from highest rates. Yours, etc.
Santa Anna.
A correspondent of tbe New Yotlt Commercial
Advertiser, writing from Jainaco, says:
The handsomest house, externally, 1 have seen
in Kingston or its envlrous, and the most like a
gentleman's mansion within, according to North
ern notions, is the one occupied by General Santa
Anna, about two miles out of town on a road af
fording a charming drive. 1 saw it an its occu
pant, by aecideut, last Sunday evening. I was
riding with tbe Attorney General of the islaud, to
whom I am greatly indebted fur bis kind and cur-
teous attentions, when, as wo drew near a house
of good size aud style, surrounded by grounds
nicely kept, he asked me if I kuew Santa Anna.
Ou inv replying in the negative, ho inquired if I
would like to see him. and, almost without wail
ing for an answot, turned into the open gite-way
and up the broad carriage road to the door.
On alighting, wu were ushered into a large draw
ing-room, neatly furnished, and iu a few moments
Sauta Anna, accompanied by his wife and dattglt-
er, joined us. I was disappointed iu Itis appear
ance. He is taller and stouter thau 1 had suppos
ed, and there is much grace aud even dignity in
his carriage. His manner wn > bland and coucto-
ous. but grave. Our intercourse was confined to
the merest common places, for he had bnt little
English, and l less Spanish at command. M-ultimo
Santa Anna, of whose beauty I had often heard
is worthy all the eucumiums she has received.—
Her figure is exquisitely moulded, plump to the
extremest point consistent with perfect In tilth,
grace of motion and symmetry. Her complexion
isoftbe cool, opaque white, peculiar, I believe,
to the thorough bred Spanish women. II her eyes
which are bfack aud sparkliug, were a trifle lar
ger, and relieved by a slightly increased depth of
shade, so as to correspond more strictly to tho clas
sical outline of her head and foce, she would be
one of the most beautiful women I have seen.—
She speak* English very well, and her manner I*
exceedingly lady-liko, frank and grucious.
