' ,jon on tl ,e Slavery (Question.
perceive that the comprehensive basis
, : c h Jrc have suggested as the true ground
V ^promise upon which to settle the Kansas
Jacnltyi meets with a cordial response from
conservative democratic journals,
virthand Scuth. And why not ? From the
•.pdon of the federal constitution, including
^fsltvciy compromises of that magna chart a
Lm to this day. as we have shown, every
\. ;tment of the slavery question has been
this basis of sectional equivalenfs, or mu-
■;,j rt ncc6sions as between the North and the
V'.i,, And. talk as we may of “popular so-
. - juty,” the “people’s rights,” and all such
the paramount difficulty in the case
ns lies between these two questions:—
• what will the North lose by consenting
•tc admission of Kansas as a slave State
tl secondly, what reparation can be expect
^ v,V the South for the refusal to admit Kansas
riAiier pro-slavery constitution?
I, is well known that even if Kansas should
jj admitted under her Lecompton constitution
itaout modification^ restriction, or amend-
- at, she cannot continue longer than a year
j: , i ss a slave State, with nine tenths of her
population opposed to slavery. On the other
'.U the repudiation of the Lecompton con
(ttatien by Congress will be tantamount to i
; tree from the North that the institution of
jjjthern slavery shall go no farther—that the
wl compromise plan of a slave State and a free
«::!e is abolished; that there shall be no more
jjve States; but that the South, henceforth
;t>t depend entirely upon the protecting pow-
p pad abounding grace of her Northern mas-
tas.
It is only in this view of the case that we
ta discover the tremendous contingencies that
in involved in this Kansas difficulty. The
Lewmpton constitution, through a regularly
i:iorized election, has been adopted with the
jlirerv clause. By default of the free State
i-ty,' Kansas has thus been officially organ
jed a a slave State, and as such she now a
tits her admission into the Union. Her re
in. therefore, will be a Congressional edict
Jjuat tbc South of the most decisive charac
ter. for. from that moment the organic law of
t; South will be the law of submission—abso-
ia submission—to the will of an overwhelm-
jg Northern majority. The prestige of South-
rz rights and the time-honored principle of
Saltern concessions will be trampled under
Lot with the rejection of the Lecompton eon-
iiKtion, and the law of the strong arm will
persede those fraternal obligations upon
rich the Northern and the Southern States
u: into this confederacy.
P "fill the men of the Southern States submit
| nslij ? IVe may be mistaken, but we appre-
: J that they will not submit to the rejection
* Kins a* as a slave State; but that they will
wat all attempts to set aside this Lecompton
tastitution with the desperate resolution of
■a defending the last rampart which lies be
t»«n them and a fierce and implacable ene
sj. IVe apprehend that the Southern men in
Cagtws have the will and the courage neces-
117 to make this Lecompton constitution the
k: question between the Union as it stands
cAseparate Southern confederacy; but, on
•Pr other side, wn are well aware that it will
difficult to secure the Northern men that
vli be needed as voluntary martyrs to the
pul cause of sectional conciliation and peace.
LA- for example, at Mr. Senator Pugh, of
'f«- He desires to support the administra
te: but he desires, also, to keep on the
side of his constituents. Hence he tries
tie oft-repeated, but always foolish experi-
of carrying water on both shoulders. He
provides, therefore, in his bill, both for the
L;tion and the rejection of the Lecompton
tastituticn.
But we can tell Mr. Pugh, and all other
Pattern members of Congress, that they
?t either support or oppose the Lecompton
restitution. If they prefer the chances of a
•T-Ac'.ion to the peace of the Union, so be it;
out if they are ready, like Curtius, to leap into
•gulf for the sufety of Rome, let them come
forward. Every great cause, every great
- Tfmcnt. every great principle, every great
Jution in bebaif of kings, nations and pco-
i t. has had, and must have, its list of martyrs,
voluntary and involuntary. Thus, without
rrag further back, a host of martyrs were re-
ptGtoinakc good the Missouri compromise

•-^alt of the great adjustment of 1850. And
can tell the number—great and small—

A L “- • Nor should we complain of this: for
J fit* crown of martyrdom preferable to
, robes of office? Henry Clay said, “I
vu-J sooner be right than be President;” and
*7?®* Wls b. The election, therefore, with
Northern members of Congress is between
-'crown of martyrdom and the hope of glory
' J -r-coaeside, and the paltry alternative of a
U. e re-election to Congress. Can they

if - rt ‘ st country, and the hopes of its mill ions

From Pat-ton's Life of Burr.
Jonathan Edwards.
In the Autumn of 1722. when New York
Tome VT 8,000 ^habitants, and possessed
some of the characteristics of a Dutch city, an
English seaport, anew settlement, a garrison
ed town, and a vice-ioyal residence, there used
to walk about its narrow winding streets,
among its Dutch traders, English merchants,
Indians, officers and soldiers, a young man
whose appearance was in marked contrast with
that of the passers-by. His tall, slender, slight
ly stooping figure was clad in homespun par
son s gray. His face, very pale, and some
what wasted, wore an aspect of singular refine
ment. and though but 19 years of age, there
was in his air and manner the dignity of the
mature and cultivated man.
This was Jonathan Edwards, who had just
come from studying divinity at Yale College,
to preach to a small congregation of Presby
terians in the city. New York had an ill name
at tha* time among the good people of New
England. “The Dutch of New York and
New Jersey,” said one of them, “are little bet
ter than the savages of our American deserts.’
Jonathan Edwards was sent by a company of
clergymen to this desperate place, much in the
spirit of those who, at the present day, send
missionaries to Oregon or to the mining dis
tncts of California.
Everything was adverse to the spread of his
faith at that time in New York, and the young
clergyman, after a residence of only a few
mouths, went home to resume his studies.
Dearly loved and highly prized by some mem
bers of his little congregation in New York Le
certainly was ; but there is no reason to sup
pose that the preaching of the greatest Ameri
can clergyman attracted the slightest attention
from the unintellectual citizens of the place.
1 et a happier, a more exultant youth, never
trod the shores of this island than ^Jonathan
Edwards.. He had grasped the tenets of his
sect not with the languid assent with which an
inherited creed is frequently received, hut
with that eager enthusiastic love which accom
panies original conceptions. To him they
were the most real of all realities. His man
ner was very calm, and gentle. He spoke
little, and kept apart from the bnsy life of the
city. But the light of perfect benevolence and
rapt devotion rested upeu his noble, thought
laden countenance, and a profound enthusiasm
auimated his heart.
Of his life in New York he writes in after
years a brief account, which still exists to re
veal to a canting age a soul devoted to the ob
ject of its love. How touching is this extract:
“If I heard the least hint of anything that hap
pened in any part of the world that appeared,
m some respect or other, to have a favorable
aspect on the interest of Christ’s kingdom, my
soul eagerly catchcd at it; and it would much
animate and refresh me. I used to he eager to
read public news letters, mainly for that, end;
to see if I could not find some ncics favorable to
the interest of religion in the world. I very fre
quently used to retire into a solitary place, on
the banks of Hudson’s river, at some distance
from the city, for contemplation on divine things
and a secret converse with God ; and had ma
ny sweet hours there. Sometimes Mr. Smith
and I walked there together, to converse on
the things of God; and our conversation used
to turn much on the advancement of Christ’s
kingdom in the world, and the glorious things
that God would accomplish for his church in
the latter days. I had then, and at other times,
the greatest delight iu the holy Scriptures, of
any book whatsoever. Oftentimes in reading
it, every word seemed to touch my heart. I
felt a harmony between something in my heart
and those sweet and powerful words. L seem
ed often to sec so much light exhibited by
every sentence, and such a refreshing food
communicated, that I could not get along in
reading; often dwelling long on one sentence
to see the wonders contained in it; and yet
almost every sentence, seemed to be full of
wonders.”
Through the obsolete phraseology of this pas
sage, one easily discerns a fine disinterested
ness of character which, unless the human race
should become wholly debased, can never be
come obsolete.
Of the religion called the “evangelical” he
was, perhaps, the most perfect exemplification
that ever existed. The child was father of the
man. We see him, as a boy of teu, building a
booth in a swamp near his father’s house, to
which he and # two of his companions used to
go regularly to pray. In his eleventh year,
we read of his demonstrating, with a sort of
solemn jocularity, the absurdity of an opinion
which had beeo advanced by a boy of his own
age, that the soul was material, and remained
in the body till the resurrection. At twelve,
we find him beginniug a letter to one of his
sisters thus : “Through the wonderful good
ness and mercy of God, there has been in this
place a very remarkable outpouring of the
Spirit of God.” He proceeds to inform his sis
ter that he “has reason lo think it is in some
measure diminished, but he hopes not much,
and that above thirty persons came commonly'
on Mondays to converse with father about their
souls.” At the same time he exhibited in
things not religious, an intelligence truly re
markable. He wrote, in his twelfth year, an
elaborate description of “the wondrous way
of the working of the forest spider,” which
shows that he possessed a rare talent for the
observation of nature. One of the greatest of
natural philosophers was lost to the world
when Jonathan Edwards became a theologian.
At thirteen ho was one of the thirty-one
students who, in 181G, composed Yale College,
and there occurred the events which decided his
career. “Toward the latter part of my time
at college,” he wrote, “it pleased God to seize
me with the pleurisy, in which he brought mo
nigh to the grave, and shook me over the pit
of hell.” Alarmed, the exemplary youth “made
seeking salvation the main business of his life”
with the usual evangelical result. The other
event was for his country and the Protestant
world, far more important. It was his recep
tion of what theologians call the doctrine of
election.
From his childhood np, as he himself records,
his ingenuous mind had revolted from the Idea
of “God’s choosing whom he would to eternal
life, any 1 ejecting whom he pleased, leaving
them eternally to perish and be everlastingly
tormented in hell." But the time came when
he thought he believed this doctrine. He could
not tell how, or why. One sudden conviction
flashed upon bis mind, and what bad once seem
ed a horrible doctrine, he contemplated with
delight. Henceforth the leisure of his life and
the best efforts of his intellect were devoted
to its elucidation. His treatise on the “Free
dom of the Will," by which he is chiefly known
to the recent world, is an ingenious attempt to
make tLat reasonable which, not through his
reason, he had himself received. To recon
cile the orthodox tenets with the facts of na
ture and the reason of man is the task at which
the brain of New England grew large and the
chest narrow. Of those who have Jived and
died in that vocation, the greatest and the best
was Jonathan Edwards.
The Edwards’ stock is famous in New Eng
land. The remotest ancestor of the race was
_ London clergyman in the reign o): Queen
Elizabeth. Three generations, of worthy, sub
stantial persons, his descendants, in lived Con
necticut. From Jonathan Edwards a surpris
ing number of distinguished individuals have
descended; men of worth, talent and station :
women, beautiful, accomplished aud gifted.
Histories of the United States have been writ
ten in which his name does not occur: but up
on every person reared since his day in New-
England he has made a disccrnable impression,
and he influences, to this hour, millions who
never heard his name. The thing he chiefly
did in his life was this: the church and the
world, two hostile bodies, were beginning, as
it were, to relent one toward auother, to ap
proach, to mingle, Joqathan Edwards, with
Ins subtle, feminine intellect and resolute will,
threw himself between the bodies, kept them
apart, made more distinct than ever the line
of demarkation, and rendered compromise be
tween the two, perhaps, for ever impossible.
Such a man was the father of Aaron Burr’s
mother.

THE INDIAN MUTINIES.
Thrilling account of tbc relief of Xjudmoir.
Calcutta, Oct. 8.—I give the following ac
count of the relief ofLueknow, as described by
a lady, one of the rescued party :
“On every side death stares us in the face;
no human skill could avert it any longer. We
saw the moment approach when we must bid
farewell to earth, yet without feeling that un
utterable horror which must have been experi
enced by the unhappy victims at Cawnporc.
we were resolved rather to die than to yield,
and we were fully persuaded that in twentv-
four hours all would be over. The engineers
had said so, and all knew the worst. We wo
men strove to encourage each other, and to
perform tbc light duties which had been assign
ed to us, such as conveying orders to the bat
teries and supplying the men with provisions,
especially cups of coffee which we prepared
day and night. I had gone out to try to
make myself useful, in company with Jessie
Brown, the wife of a corporal in my husband’s
regiment. Poor Jessie had been in a state of
restless excitement throughout the siege, and
had fallen away visibly within the last few
days. A constant fever consumed her, and
her mind wandered occasionally, especially
that day, when the recollections of home seem
ed powerfully present to her.
At last, overcome with fatigue, she lay down
on the ground wrapped up in her plaid. I sat
beside her, promising to awaken her when,
as she said, “her father should return from
the plowing.” She fell at length into a pro
found slumber, motionless, aud, apparently,
breathless, her head resting in my lap. I my
self could no longer resist the inclination to
sleep, in spite of the continual roar of the can
non. Suddenly I was aroused by a wild un
earthly scream close to my ear ; iny compan
ion stood upright beside me, her arms rais
ed, and her head bent forward in the attitude
of listening. A look of intense delight broke
over her countenance, she grasped my hand
drew ine towards her, and exclaimed, “Diana
ye hear it ? Diana” ye hear it ? Ay, I’m no
dreamin, its the slogan, a,’ the Highlanders!
We’re saved, we’re saved!” Then flinging her
self on her knees, she thanked God with pas
sionate fevor. I felt utterly bewildered ; my
English ears heard only the roar of artillery,
and I thought my poor Jessie was still raving,
but she darted to the batteries, and I heard
her cry incessantly to the men, “Courage!
courage; hark to the slogan—to the Macgrc-
gors the grandest of them a'; Here’s help at
last!” To describe the effect of these words
upon the soldiers would be impossible. For a
moment they ceased firing, and every soul lis
tened in intense anxiety. Gradually, however,
there arose a murmur of bitter disappointment,
aud the wailing of the women who had flocked
to the spot, burst out anew as the Colonel
shook his head. Our dull lowland ears heard
lothing but the rattle of the musketry.
A few moments more of this death-like sus
pense, of this agonizing hope, and Jessie who
hail sank on the ground, sprang to her feet and
cried, in a voice so loud and piercing that it
was distinctly heard along the whole line,
“Will ye no believe it noo? The slogan has
ceased, indeed, but the Campbells arc cornin’!
D’ye hear ? d’ye hear ?’’ at that moment we
seemed to hear indeed the voiee of God in the
distance, when the pibroch of the Highlan
ders brought us tidings of deliverance. That
shrill ceaseless sound, which rose above all
other sounds, could come neither from the ad
vance of the enemy, nor from the work of the
Sappers. No, it was indeed the blast of the
Scottish bag-pipes—now shrill aud harsh as
threatening vengeance on the foe—then in soft
er tones, seeming to promise succor to their
friends in need. Never, surely was there such
a scene as followed: Not a heart in the resi
dency of Lucknow but buried itself before
God. AH by one simultaneous impulse fell up
on their knees, and nothing was heard but
bursting sobs and the murmured voice of pray
er. Then all arose, and there rang from a
thousand lips great shouts ofjoy which resound
ed far and wide, and lent new vigor to that
blessed pibroch.—To our cheer of “God save
the Queen!” they replied by the well known
strain that moves every Scot to tears. “Should
Auld Acquaintance be Forgot.” After that
lothing else made any impression on me; I
carcely remember what followed. Jessie-was
presented to the General on his entrance into
the fort, and at the officers’ banquet her health
was drank by all present, while pipers march
ed around the table playing once more the fa
miliar air of “Auld Lang Syne.”
A Romance of Heal Life.
The following incident which we extract
from the Journal, published at Bucyrus, Craw
ford county, Ohio, claimed to be strictly true,
possesses sufficient romance to make half a
dozen novels:—
In Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, seven
years ago, lived a wealthy fanner, who was
blessed with six children, the eldest of which
was a beautiful girl of seventeen summers.
A young man in the neighborhood, of a good
family, feigned attachment to her. Young
and inexperienced, she fell into the snare eet
for her. Shortly after her ruin was accom
plished, the young man fearing the wrath of
ler father, when the consequences of his vil
lainy should become apparent, absconded.—
The young girl now felt the full horror of her
situation, which she could conceal but a short
time, and her destroyer had fled. She could
not, dared not endure the shame and reproach
that would attach to her when all should be
discovered. She determined to leave the
country also, and preferring to be considered
as dead, matured a plan to cheat her parents
into the belief that she had been drowned. A
creek ran through her father’s farm and emp
tied into the Susqucanna. a short distance
away. At this time of year (spring) it was
swolen by freshets, and it was dangerous to
venture upon the frail bridge of a plank that
had been thrown across it. One evening,
when the water was very high, she proposed
going to a neighbor’s, who lived across the
creek. Her father objected, on the ground of
danger, but insisting that she could get over
safely, she seized her bonnet and started.—
She had previously secreted a few articles of
clothing outside, which she took with her.—
Arriving at the bridge, she threw her bonnet
into the stream, well knowing that it would
be caught on the bushes that overhung the
stream, and hurrying on, soon gained the road,
and walked away in the direction of Harris
burg. The consternation of the family, after
a lapse of two or three hours, may be imag
ined. One went to the house she started for,
but she had not been there. It was supposed
immediately that she had fallen off the bridge.
Search was made, and her bonnet found lodg
ed on some overhanging willows. Sadly they
returned to the bereaved home. Doubt was
at an end. She had fallen from the frail bridge,
had been drowned, and her body carried by
the angry flood into the river. Shortly after
her supposed death, her father, upon whose
mind the event weighed heavily, wishing to
leave the scene of his affliction, sold his farm
and removed to this county.
In the meantime she had reached Harrisburg,
taken the cars west, and in a few days found
herself at the only tavern in a secluded village
in the interior of Michigan. The landlady was
a kind hearted woman, and at that particular
time was in need of an assistant. She heard
the story of the poor girl—sympathized with
her, and liking her appearance, insisted on
her making that her home, In this house she
passed six years of contentment. Her hostess
introduced her as a widow ; she gained friends,
and received many advantageous offers of mar
riage.
One morning, about six mouths ago, she
was in the sitting room when the sti.ge drove
up. The windows of the coach were down,
and she could see most of the passengers.—
Among them was a face that seemed familiar
to her. She looked again, and with a shriek,
fell fainting on the floor. It was her betrayer,
The landlady soon learned how matters stood,
and determined that justice should be done,
Sbe sought him, told him the facts, and insist
ed that he should repair the injury he had in
flicted, by making her his wife. To this he at
once consented. Three.months after his flight
from Pennsylvania, seized with remorse, he
had started back with the intention of mar
rying her. On the way, he had picked up a
uewspaper which contained an account of her
tragical death. Feeling that he was the cause
of her untimely end, heart-sick and sad, lie
turned back, a changed, and better man. He
had settled down, accumulated property, and
was a man of standing and influence. The
joy of the girl, when she met her repentent
lover, may be imagined. They were married
that evening, and the next morning started
for Pennsylvania. Ascertaining the address
of her father, they came to this place as fast
as steam could carry them. Words cannot
paint the raptures of the old man as he clasped
to his bosom>a daughter he had mourned as
dead for six years. Explanations were made,
all was forgiven, and after passing a few weeks
of unalloyed happiuess here, they returned to
their home in the west.”
From Parton’s Life of Burr.
Durr on the Morning of tiie Duel
WITH HAMILTON.
The evening previous to the fatal rencontre,
he passed in writing letters to his daughter
and her husband. They show no misgivings,
no signs that aught within his nature revolted
against the morrow’s deed. Late at night he
threw off his upper garments, lay down upon
a couch in his library, and in a few minutes
was asleep. The next morning at daybreak Jno
Swartout entered the room and saw his chief
still lying on the couch. Well as he knew
the coolness of Col. Burr, he was astonished
to find that he was in a deep and tranquil
slumber. “He awoke the man who had bet
ter never again have opened eyes his upon the
light of the world.” An incident related by
Mr. Parton presents a striking illustration of
Burr’s destitution of the usual human suscep
tibilities.
On the morning of the duel, it chanced that
one of Burr’s cousins arrived in town from
Connecticut, and made his way, about8 o’clock,
to Richmond Hill. Alexis, the factotum of
the establishment, obeyed his summons at the
door, and showed him into the library, where
he found Col. Burr alone, and engaged in his
usual avocations. Burr received his young
relative cordially, and in every respect as usu
al. _ Neither in his manner nor in his conver
sation was there any evidence of excitement
or concern, nor anything whatever to attract
the notice of his guest. Except the master of
the house, not a soul in Richmond Hill yet
knew aught of that morning’s work ; nor in
deed could it be said, in any sense of the word,
that the master himself knew what he had
done.
In a few minutes breakfast, was announced,
and the t)vo gentlemen went to the dining
room and breakfasted together. The conver
sation was still quite iu the ordinary strain,
Burr inquiring alter friends in the country,
the youth giving the information sought. After
breakfast, the gust bade his host good-morn
ing, and strolled off toward the city, which he
reached about 10 o’clock. As he walked
down Broadway, he fancied lie observed in
passers-by the signs that something extraor
dinary had occurred or was expected. Near
Wall street, an acquaintance rushed up to him,
breathless, and said: .
Col. Burr has killed Gen. Hamilton in a
duel this morning.”
“Why, no.he hasn’t," replied the young
gentleman, with the utmost positiveness, “ 1
have just come from there aud taken break
fast with him.”
But,” replied the other, “ I have this mo
ment seen the news on the bulletin.”
The cousin, reflecting for a moment on the
absolute serenity of Burr’s manner, and con
cluding that he would certainly have mention
ed so interesting an occurrence if it had taken
place, was still utterly incredulous, and, de
nouncing the report as false, went on his way.
Before turning into Wall street, he found the
whole city astir, and soon had jeason to sus
pect that the bulletin was only too true. So
completely could Burr command his features
and conceal his feelings.

D E. MORSE, the inventor of Morse’s Indian Itoot

travelling, having visited Europe, Asia and Africa
as woll as North America—has spent three years
among tho Indians of our Western country—it was
in this way that the Indian Boot Pills were first dis

the fiict that all diseases arise from the impurity of
Blood—that our strength, health and life depended
upon this vital fluid.

do not act in perfect harmony with the different
functions of the body, the blood loses it action, be
comes thick, corrupted and diseased; thus causing
all pains, sicjtncss and distress of every name; our
strength is exhausted, our health we are deprived of
and if nature is not assisted in throwing off the stag
nant humors, the blood will become 'choked and
cease to act, and thus our light of life will forever be
blown out. How important then that we should
keep tho various passages of the body free and open.
Anu how pleasant to us that we have it in our power
to .put a- medicine in your reach, namely. Mo -se’s In
dian Hoot Pills, manufactured from plants and roots
which grow around the mountainous cliffs in Nature’s
garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man.
One of the roots from which these Pills are made is su
dorific, which opens the pores of tho skin, and as
sists nature in throwing ont the finer parts of the
corruption within. The second is a plant whicn is
an expectorant, that opens and unclogs the passage
to the lungs, and thus iu a soothing manner, performs
its duty by throwing of phlegm, and other humors
from the lungs by copious spitting. The third is a
Diuretic, which gives ease and double strength to
the kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large
amounts of impurity from the blood, which is then
thrown ont bountifully by the urinary or water pas
sage, aud which c6uld not have been discharged in
any other way. The fourth is a Cathartic, aud ac
companies the other properties of the pills while en
gaged in purifying the blood; the coarser particles
of impurity which cannot pass by the other outlets,
are thus taken up and conveyed off*in great quanti
ties by the bowels.
.From the above, it is shown that Dr. Morse’s In
dian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, hut be
comes united with the blood, for they find way to
every part, and completely rout out and cleanse the
system from all impurity, and the life of the body,
which is the blood, becomes perfectly healthy; con
sequently all sickness and pain is driven from tho
system, tor they cannot remain when the body be
comes so pure and clear.
The reason why people are so distressed when
sick, and why so many die, is because they do not
get a medicine which will pass to the afflicted parts,
and which will open the natural passages for the dis
ease to he cast out; hence, a large quantity of food
and other matter is lodged and the stomach and in
testines are literally overflowing with the corrupted
mass; thus undergoing disagreeable fermentations,
constantly mixing with the blood, which throws the
corrupted matter through every vein and artery, un
til life is taken from the body by disease. Dr.
Morse's Pills have added to themselves victory up
on victory, byrestoring millions of the sick to bloom
ing health and happiness. Yes, thousands who have
been racked and to/mented with sickness, pain and
anguish, and whose feeble frames have been scorch
ed by the burning elements of raging fever and who
have been brought, as it were, within a step of the
silent grave, now stand ready to testify that they
would have been numbered with the dead had
it not been for this great and wonder.ul medicine,
Morse's Indian Roo : Pills. After one or two doses
had been taken, they were astonished, and ab
solutely surprised, in witnessing their charming ef
fects. Not only do they give immediate ease and
strength, and take away all sickness, pain aud an
guish but they at onco go to work at the foundation
of the disease which is the blood. Therefore it will
be shown, especially by those who use these Pills,
that they will so cleanse and purify, that disease—
that deadly enemy—will take its flight, and the flush
of youth and beauty will again return, and the pros
pects of a long aud happy life will cherish and bright
en your days.

The attempts to move this monster ship were
renewed on Tuesday, the 15th, but were again
unsuccessful. At half past three all the chains
were hove taut, including the great ables
laid accross the river, and hydraulic presses
and numerous screw-jacks were set in motion,
but not the slightest effect was produced.
When the strain was at the highest, one of
sbe smaller chains gave way, and a feeder of
an hydraulic engine burst. Operations were’
suspended, and at five P. M. arrangements
were being made to drive in piles near the
after cradle, probably with the view of fixing
another press.
jjiOn Wednesday morning, after a few min
utes’ application to the rams, the Levithaa
moved thirty-eight inches aft and fifteen inches
forward, the effect being to place the vessel
straight on the rails, and to remove all suspic
ion of obstruction of the ways. Two hydraulic
cylinders then broke, and up to half past two
no further progress had been made. Mr.
Robert Stephenson was again present, and ex-
tressed his approval of the proceedings.—
Further proceedings will probably he post
poned until after Christmas, when vastly in
creased power is to be employed.
It is now said that the Leviathan will eost
only from twenty thousand to twenty-five
thousand pounds sterling in the launching—
not seventy thousand or eighty thousand pounds
sterling, as reported.—Liverpool Tim.es Dec.

fTlHE subscriber has thoroughly tried, at Macon
1. and Columbus, Georgia, his wrought iron Cot
ton Screw, where two of them are now standing and
will remain until October for inspection. I h(Sieve
it is cheapest, by half, ever offered for tho purpose of
pressing cotton or hay, as tho flame, screw, pin, and
levers are all of wrought iron. It should be attach
ed to tho gin house, and have it put up through the
floor, as the ordinary press—the levers being only
five feet in length—to have the width of tho house
and 18 and 20 feet in length, the lint conld then be
placed all around the screw. Then a man can take
five hands and pack as many live-hundred-pound-
bales in one day, with as little labor to tho hand, as
the same five and two more, with a horse, can on
the wood screw in the same timo. Threo hands can
put up one and take it down, and it can ho carried at
one load with four mules to any point.—As this is for
the public eye I will give the amount of timber ne
cessary for completing one:
1 piece 17 feet long 4J by 9.
This to be of
This makes a box nearnine feet deep with bed and
follower, and all other fixtures. I furnish the iron
and the work done on it at Macon, and put th 1 a-
bovo lumber to it at the place where it is wanted, the
purchaser furnishing the lumber and paying the
freight from Macon, can have one of the handiest
and cheapest cotton screws now known, its durabil
ity considered, as it is given up by all who havoscen
it to be a lifetime investment. I can pack five hun
dred pounds with three hands—take five and there is
no bard work done. Price 8150 this year.
I expect, if life lasts, to have one at the next State
Fair, and would ho glad to seo one of every other
pattern of presses now iu use there and let the world
, udge for itself. I then expect to sell tho right in
any size territory that may he desired on reasonable
terms, with a working model, within the limits of
such county or counties, and all the information ne
cessary for putting them up and working them. Ad

The Greatest Discovery of the Age.
T HIS mixture, composed of some dozen oils and
extracts, is tho result of many years experi
ments made by a medical man, the owner of a large
number of slaves employed in exposed positions,
and subject to all the ills that usually attack tho hu
man family. It is found to be superior in its restora
tive qualities to any mixture or compound ever pre
sented to the public. It has no superior for the treat
ment of any of the fallowing afflictions:—
Sores anil Eruptions On the Skin, Nenraliga, Head
Ache, looth Acne, Tetters, Bone Fellons, Pains of
every description, Rheumatism, Sore Throat, Swol
len Glands, Sore or Weak Eyes, Ear Ache, Cholic,
Cramp or Pains in the Stomach, Weak Back, Spinal
Affections, Sore Breasts and Cracked Nipples, Scald
Head, &c. We ask for it a fair trial.
We claim no magic for the workings of tills suc
cessful competitor of all remedies that have been
put forward for public favor. If its first application
does not give relief, try the second, third or fourth,
and we will guarantee the sufferer shall not he dis
appointed. Where it has been introduced, it has su-
jerseded DeGrath’s and all to her remedies. For
resh cuts, the Eureka Oil has no equal—it almost
instantly soothes pain, prevents fever, and puts the
sore to healing. We challenge tho world for the
deduction of its equal iu allaying pain or in the heol-
hg art. It would seem superfluous to mention the
wonderful cures produced in a very few minutes in
the streets of Colu _ibus, when administered to a
horse judged to he dying under the effects of hots,
and on two other occasions when administered to
mules suffering greatly with colic.
