AGENTS FOR THE SALE OF THE INDIAN’S PANACEA, HAVE just, received a]fresh supply ol this valuable remedy for the cure of Rheumatism, Scrofula or King’s Evil, Gout, Sciatica or Hip Gout, Incipient Cancers, Salt Rheum, Siphilitic and Mercurial dis eases, particularly Ulcers and painful affections of the hones. Ulcerated Throat and Nostrils, Ulcers of every description, B’ever Sores, and Internal Abscess-- es, Fistulas, Piles, Scald Head, Scurvy, Biles, Chro nic Sore Eyes, Erysipelis Blotches, and every variety of Cutaneous Affection, Chronic Catarrh, Headache, proceoding from vitiation; Affections of the Liver; Chronic inflammation of the Kidneys and General De bility, caused by a torpid action of the vessels of the skin. It is singularly efficacious in renovating those constitutions which have been broken down by injudi cious treatment, or juvenile irregularities. In general terms, it is recommended in all those diseases which arise from impurities of the blood, or vitiation of the humors, of whatever name or kind. Some of the above complaints may require some assistant applications, which the circumstances of the case will dictate ; hut for a general remedy or Purifi cator to remove the cause, The Indian’s Panacea will generally be found sufficient. The following certificates, out of hundreds similar which might be procured, are given to show the effect of the Indian'tl Panacea, in the various complaints therein mentioned ; and also to exhibit in the most sa tisfactory mariner its superiority over the syrups in common use. Charleston, Nov. 15, 1831. During the last winter and spring, I was afflicted with a very severe and distressing Rheumatism, occa sioned by exposure in bad weather. I now take great pleasure in stating, that six bottles of Indian Pana cea, restored me to perfect health, and I confidently recommend it to all similarly afflicted. JOHN FERGUSON, King st. Charleston, July 12,1831. I was afflicted four years with an ulcer in the leg, occasionally accompanied with erysipelatious inflama tion and an excessive pain in the leg and ancle joint.

LEIGH having resigned her chaige of this Institution, it has been committed to the general superintendence and care of the Rev. WM. D. CAIRNS, A. M., Rector of Trinity Church in this city, who will furnish Teachers for the several de partments of Instruction ; and, by a personal supervis ion, endeavor to impart to it a character equal to any similar Institution in the State.

The full course of Instruction will embrace all the ordinary branches of English—even such as are taught in the best Academies and Colleges in the country, with the Latin and Greek Languages, whenever desir ed ; and the object of the Trustees has been to furnisli to the daughters of Columbus every advantage which has hitherto been sought for abroad, saving them the sacrifice of those tender relations and that salutary dis cipline which can be found only at home. They be lieve a domestic education to be necessary for their girls, and will use every exertion to furnish ihein with such instruction, every at the paternal fireside, as will fit them for the highest relations of life, whilst it shall unite the cultivation alike of its endearing charities, its graceful accomplishments, and its purest hopes.

The Pope he leads ? happy life He knows no cares of marriage strife, He drinks the best of Rhenish wine, I would the Pope’s gay lot were mine ; But yet all happy’s not his life, He loves no maid nor wedded wife, Nor child hath he to cheer Lis hope— I would not wish to be the Pope. The Sultan better pleases me, He lives a life of jollify— Has wives as many as he will, I would the Sultan’s throne then fill; But yet he’s not a happy man, He must obey the Alcoran ; And dares not taste one drop of wine, I would not that his fate were mine. So here I take my lowly stand, I’ll drink my own, my native land, I’ll kiss my maiden’s lip divine, And drink the best of Rhenish wine ; And when my maiden kisses me, I’ll fancy 1 the Su'tan be, And when my cheery glass I tope, I’ll fancy that I am the Pope. * EARTHQUAKE AT MARTINIQUE. We copy the following distressing intelli gence from the New Orleans Bee ol the 4th. ‘ The Pauline which arrived vesterday from St. Pierre, (Island of Martinique,) which she left on the 12th ult., brings us ihe unpleasant intelligence, that on the 11th, a dreadful earth quake took place in that colony. The town of St. Pierre has suffered greatly, but the de struction has been far greater at Fort Royal, in which town i lie number of victims to this dreadful calamity is not less than four hun dred. At the departure of the Pauline, how ever, the entire extent of devastation pro duced by the earthquake, was by no means accurately ascertained. Hundreds of plantations on the Island had been utterly destroyed, and intelligence of new disasters was continually pouring into the town. The following is an extract of a private letter from St. Pierre, under date of the 12th: Ti:e Pauline being ready to sail, I transmit you in great haste, a few details of the ca tastrophe we have just experienced. Yes terday, the 11th inst. at 6 o’clock, A. M., a very severe shock of an earthquake was felt in Ibis town, which lasted a bout five minutes, with the same intensity. Many of our hous es have been overturned or shattered to pieces: unions others two in the street in which we reside; two individuals have been buried beneath the ruins of the latter. At Fort Royal the calamity is far more frightful; from the news received this morning, we learn that the number f victims already withdrawn from the ruins, amounts to more than three hundred. Nearly all the houses in that town are destroyed. In short, it is said that this unfortunate city is nearly entirely overwhelm ed and destroyed. To augment if possible this sad calamity, the yellow lever commits terrible ravages.— Among its other victims is Mr. Lucette, aid de-camp to the Governor.’ By an* arrival at Charleston from Pointl Petre , the editors of that city have received a paper of that port of the ‘ 18th ult. which contains an extract of a letter published in the Journal Commercial, of Pointe a Petre, Gaudaloupe, 16th Jan. 1539. ‘ St. Pierre, (Mart.) Jan. 12. You have undoubtedly heard of the dread ful calamity which has befallen our unfortu nate country, already to be pitied in every respect. The disasters of yesterday are in calculable. There is not a single house in St. Pierre that must not be rebuilt or entirely repaired. We have lost hut two persons, who were crushed under the ruins, and about 20 w T ere wounded. But Fort Royal is com pletely laid even with the ground, as vve have heard of in the history of Herculaneum, Pom peii, and Messina. Not one fourth, of the city has been searched, and they have al ready found 522 dead The hospital at Port Royal is and all i re i reports s I % tiliralion at the other establishments of which no mention is made in the letter of our correspondent; but from the reports collected from the adjacent country, we would infer that the sugar fac tories had suffered considerably. Already the known losses are estimated at more than ten millions of francs. On the 12th a vessel arrived at St. Pierre from St. Lucy, by which we heard that that Island had fell but lightly the shock of the earthquake. How a Man feels when about getting Mar ried.—lt is said to be a serious tiling for a girl to leave mamma, and entrust herself to the keeping of the man of her heart. No doubt it is; but we propose to show that even the sterner sex cannot surrender up their sin gleness without some misgivings and trepi dation. In the first place, then, the victim of mat rimony feels that he must surrender up the companions with whom he had so long held close communion ; his evenings, instead of being spent at the club or engine house, must be devoted to a very different entertain ment from that to which he has been accus- turned. But this is nut all. He knows that after he has become bound in the silken chain of matrimony, lie is no longer a welcome visitant to those circles, where, while free, wreathing smiles and glowing eyes strove to weave a net for his feet. He knows that while a ‘ Bachelor is wel comed wherever he goes, 3 a married man is regarded as one dead—crossed off the Books and no longer an 1 available’ to the fair. In addition to all these unhappy circumstances,; he has become the head of a family. Then j ‘ Throng the busy scenes into his mind’ of silks and calicoes, doctor’s bilis, and duns of many debts that he never reaped the ben efit of. Dike the horse in the mill he has a task to perform’ for others. He is no longer free to embrace poverty or wealth. No wonder that the young bachelor looks sad when the hour of his enthralment approach es. No wonder that, with an angel at his side, he looks vvoful. An ancient manuscript preserved in the British Museum, relative to a disputed claim to an estate, states, that 1 Mr. John Denny did finde it meet to go to London to press his suite on account of ye estate. On his going Mistress Denny did throwe after him on aide shoe for lucke , and as it was proved, so lucke it did turn out —for his suite was gayued.’ The New York Express of the 7fb says: There was a Specie Draft, as it is called, on the hanks in Waif street to-day. About three hundred thousand dollars were drawn. It is understood the amount wanted is to go to the Southern banks.

The Constitution. —This noble frigate, it is said, will require serious repairs in her gun deck, in consequence of the injuries the pre sent one sustained from the cargo of mules which she brought with her from the Medi terranean. It is much to be regretted that her commander did not protect the deck by a layer of thick plank, or what would have been better still, 4 a pavement of asphallum.’ The latter being a non-recipient of noxious fluids, the atmosphere, especially at night, would have been less offensive to the seamen, obliged as they were to swing their hum mocks among ihe mules. It the recent order of the Hon. Secretary of the Navy, disallowing the commander of a national ship the privilege of converting her into a transport for mules, should ever be annulled, rescinded, or ‘expunged,’ we trust their decks will he at once paved with the most approved asphaltum—her guns will of course be stowed below, while each gaping port will display the uncompromising visage of one who makes no terms with opposition. Should an enemy attack her, the battle bray ot an hundred of these unyielding fellows, all striking at once, at the top of their whistle, would be enough of itself, to unnerve the stoutest heart. No enemy with whom ‘ dis cretion was the better part of valor,’ would think of renewing his attack on a ship thus obstinately defended. The victory would he alike easy and bloodless; no bones would he broken, no lives lost; every man and mule would safely reach their destined port; and then, to crown the whole, ‘ the agricultural interest of the country would be promoted.’ How would The cattle low, the lampkins skip, The old folks t ilk, the young ones prattle, , As homeward hound, this jackass ship Returned triumphant from the battlo.

The government baker at that place, discovered that a puncheon of water, with which he was about to knead his dough, presented a singular appearance, as if in a state of fermentation, and sent for a medical gentleman, who, on examining the water found that it had been poisoned so strongly, that every man who might have partaken of the bread must have died. Mr. Body stated that so far as he was aware, no man had gone into the place where the cask stood, except a man who some time ago came from the States, and was arrested by the authorities, when he gave important information respecting the ‘patriots.’ He said that he had been a ‘ Hunter,’ but was convinced of the evil of their proceedings, and would make amends bv informing of their plans, and joining in ihe defence of die coun try. He then joined the Queen’s Borderers. He was arrested on suspicion of having pois oned the water, and committed to jail to await further examination. —Buffalo Com. Adv. Language without Oaths. —The Indians cannot swear in their vernacular. This is a singular and interesting fact. Why does their language furnish no oaths? Are the Indians so prone to truth, so averse to false hood, that the invention of oaths was impos sible ? Probably this was the case until they became so corrupt from our example. Their simple promises must have been to them as sacred and inviolable as the most solemn ab jurations are to us.

The fact is, squire, the moment a man takes a pipe, he becomes a philosopher; it’s (lie poor man’s friend ; it enables the mind, soothes the temper, and makes a man patient under trouble. It has made more good men, good husbands, kind masters, in dulgent fathers, and honest fellows, than any other blessed thing in the universal world.

A married woman if you come to that, is a slave, call her what you will—wife, woman, angel, termagant or devil, she’s a slave ; and if she. happen to get the upper hand, the husband is a slave; and if he don’t lead a worse life than any black n 'gger, when he’s under petticoat govern ment, then my name is not Sam Slick. Conjugal pastimes. —We heard of an old Blue Beard of a follow wh® enjoyed infiuite sport in tickling his wife to death, in which manner he made away with about as great a number as that notable personage himself. A gentleman in the upper part of this city, though not with the same diabolical intent, thought to have a little amusement at the ex pense of his lady,and so proposed to give Kef an elegant silk dress, if she would hold her finger ten minutes in a mixture of salt and snow. The offer was readily accepted, and the experiment commenced. ‘lt is cold,’ 6aid the lady. ‘ Take it out then,’ said the husband. ‘But the dress?’ ‘Ah, you will lose it,’ said the husband. ‘ I must have it,.’ said the lady, and she persevered .nost hero- ically till the ten minutes expired, when, on withdrawing her finger, it might have been ns easily broken oft’ as any finger on the hands of Lot’s wife, being completely frozen ; and the husband had the double amusement of paying a round hill to his doctor. This instance of perseverance is excelled only by that f the lady who threatened that if her husband refused her request to attend an en tertainment, to cut off’one of her fingers, and on his lefusal. actually carried her threat into execution; both abundantly proving the truth of the old couplet concerning women, that ‘ When she will sJie will—you may depeno on’t, “When she won’t she won’t —and there’s an <nd cn’t/ Albany Transcript. Forcing Midberry Trees. —The rage for growing Mulberry trees excites the most so ber people. A number of large green houses, conservatories, cocooneries, and other estab lishmenls have been fitted up in this town for growing these costly trees during the winter, and the culinary departments and even some of the ladies’ parlors contain the germs of future forests of Mulberry trees. In three or four large establishments, there cannot he less than two hundred thousand cuttings out, part of which have sprouted beautifully, and by the month of April they will amount to something in the shape of trees. The pur pose is to increase the shrubs in size, so that when the spring opens they will answer to lay down or put out in the shape of cuttings.—• A box two feet wide and four feet long, with a foot of earth, will contain over one hundred cuttings, which ean be placed in any warm corner. In three months they will have grown sufficient to multiply, by laying them down, into nearly a thousand trees by next autumn . —Northampton Courier Poor Mathews, the actor was one of ihe most superstitious and nervous men in the world. While in this country in 1822, his friend and brother actor, Wallack, broke his leg by the upsetting- of a stage coach, in passing from Philadelphia to New York : ‘Mathews having to perform the same journey, he inquired of the driver if he was the man who had mutilated Mr. Wallack, and when satisfied upon that head he insisted upon being informed when they approached New Brunswick, that he might get out and walk for half a mile before they came to the fatal place, and half a mile after it had been passed. Every ten minutes, he popped his liead out of the stage window, and inquired, ‘ Driver, are we approaching tiie scene of Mr. \\ a Hack’s horrible accident? I have a presentiment that I shall r.ot pass over that awful spot without some frightful occurrence. Driver, be sure you tell me when we are within a halt’ mile of that dreadful scene.’— The driver promised and poor Mathews sat fidgetting in anxious expectation of a smash ing upset* At last, after rattling over a bi/dge and passing through a town, the stage drew up at an inn door, and the driver pro-’ ceeded to change the horses. Mathews made the usual inquiry—‘Driver, are we near the place where Mr. Wallack broke his leg r’ ‘We past over it sir, some two hun dred yards hack.’ Mathews was vocife rously indignant at being cheated , as he termed it, and performed the rest of the jour ney in sullen abstraction.’ Two interesting discoveries are said to be made in Texas —one is a very remarkable spring of salt water at the Mustang Prairie.
