ABOUT If It A NDIt KTil’S PILLS AND
THKIit EPfKC'IS.
A Vegetable and Universal Medicine, proved In
ex;i*srieice ot thousands to he, when properly per. c
vered with, a ecu fain cure m every lrin of the Unlv
‘.xx Disease, ah having the same origin, and itivari
>biy arise iro.ii the UNIVERSAL ROOT o! a<
l.sease, namely, IMPURITY or IMPERFECT
urculaiiou of the BLOOD.
in a period of little m >re than three year* in th*
U tiled fiStatex, they have restored lo a state of hea ltd
in I etijdymciit over ONE HUNDRED THOUS
AND persons, who were given over as incurable by
Physicians of the first rank and standing, and in ma
nv eases where every other remedy had been resor
ed to in vain.
In all taxes of Pain or Weakness, whether it be
chronic or recent, whether it be deafness or pain in the
side, whether it arise from constitutional or some im
mediate cause, whether it be from internal or externa,
injury, it will be cured hy persevering in tht use ot
these Pills.
The great principle of ‘ PURGING’ is beginning
‘o he appreciated. It is found much more cov.vemen
o take an occasional dose of half a dozen Pilis, and
he always well, than to send for a Doctor and be bled,
blistered ani salivated—with the certainty that if you
are not ki led, you will be sure to have months ofniis
■rable weakness, anil the only one who is benefitted is
vo ir Doctor. Look at the difference between the ap
pearance of those two persons — one has been treated
by your regular practitioner—see how pale and debil
itated he is : see how the shadow of death throws his
solitary glance from emaciated his counteftance;see how
ne tremble* in every limb : his eve* stink ; his teeth
destroyed ; his constitution,, perhaps, irrecoverably
gone—vet. just hear how he arrogates to himself cred
it. lie savs. ‘ most inveterate case of liv-r complaint’
nothing hut the most energetic remedies saved
liin.’ JUnergitir. measures ! i. e. Mercury and Bleed
ing mini and his constitution, better say. So to save
ife vou must hall poison with that comforter of the
teeth” and gums—MEßCUßY—and positively make
a man miserable the sad remainder of lit* existence ;
this is eallß'i curing. Shocking fo,l_v.
Let us now loo* at yotlr ‘ purged’ man—the mnn
who ha* taken Brandrelh's Pill* for Liver Complaint
’ —he has the firm, elastic tread of conscious strength,
his countenance is clear and serene, l.is eve is lull and
sparkling with the (eelmg of new life and animation ;
lie has been confined a few days to lit* bed, but lie
j used nothin* hut the true Brandreth’s Pills,
i ,inJ soon rose without any injury being sustained by
i his constitution. Instead ol being for months in a j
I weak state, he will be stronger after he has entirely j
i recovered Iron) tin* attack ; because his blood and
i fi mis have become purified, and having purged away
1 the old and impure fluids, the solids are thereby reno
vated. and he is not home down by useless particles,
hill ha - renewed Ins lite and body both.
The principle of purging with Brandreth's Pill, re
moves nothing But the useless and decayed particles
from the body—the morbid and corrupt humor* of the
blood; those humors which cause disease—they im
pede the functions of the liver when they settle ii(.on
lfie muscles, produce rheumatism ; or, upon the nerves,
•roduce gout; or upon the lung*, produce coaruntp
lion ; or, upon the intestines, costivenexs , or, upon
file lining of the blood vessels, apoplexv and paralysis, j
and all the train of disorders so melancholy to the !
sufferer and all who behold them.
t’es, purging these humors from the body i* the 1
hue cure for all the-e complaints, Rnd every other I
foim of disease; this is no mere assertion, it is aa I
ivcn iusiiable truth, and each day i is extendin'* it
self ; tar and wide it is becoming known, and mor
and more appreciated.
The cure bv purging may more depend upon the
laws which produce sweetness or purilv titan mav be
generally i tuigincd. Whatever lends to slagnute will
‘induce sn-kness, l> t tiuse it tends to putrefaction:
therefore the necessity of constant exercise is seen.
When constant exercise cannot fiv used FROM
ANY CAUSE, the occasional use of Openi.no
Medicine is ABSOLUTELY r quired. Thusthe
conduits of the Blood, the fountain of life, are
kept free from those impurities which would prevent 1
is -teady current ministering health. Thus, morbid !
humors are prevented from becoming mixed with it. |
I ; is nature which is thus assisted through the means
and outhts which she has p nVtded for herself.

RECEPTION OF GENERAL JACKSON.
As Itad Been previously arranged, the
steamers bearing Hh: venerable ex prtsuieni
arrived yesterday morning at a Is mi lOifeiock.
An immense throng assembled at the vvharl
10 welcome him, aud the steamboats, vessels
m l lre river, and house-lops were aiive ‘with
people waving their l.als and Itsndketchiefs
as lie approached. Tne old General looks
somewhat Hie worse lor age, but is stilt te
maik ibiy active and l.eariy for one of Ins
years.
Tiie reception, generally, was one of ivli clt
the aged veteran should feel proud. Tlitre
was a lukewarmness on Die part pi’ some of
bis political opponents which we onsider any
tiling praiseworthy; but Hie body of our ciii
citizens were out and coni tall j welcomed the
man who, in ISIS, maufuiiy braved, not only
an almost unconquerable enemy, but public
opinion, in their behalf. We, in our individu
j al capacity, are among those who have poli
[ neatly opposed (Jen. Jackson in thought,
j word and deed—mil eleventh hour men, but
I went against his political advancement from
I Hie first jump out —still, we vesterd iy forgot
! the politician and limught only of ihe mau--
welcomed him as ihe ‘ Hero of New Orleans’
and the fearless tit-lender of his country, and
were willing to forget aught else.
On leaving the boat a barouche with four
horses was ready to receive him, from whence
he was escorted, by the legion and Washing
ton Battalion, to the State House. As the
procession passed along Canal Street, a dense
mass of citizens thronged each side, and the
numerous'balconies were groaning with their
fair buitheiis—ladies waving their itandker
duel's, while ihe silver-headed warrior bowed
in acknowledgement of their salutations'.
From the Stale House he was escorted to
the public square, in front nfihe old cathedral,
bv the veterans of’l4 and ’ls, the members
of the legislature, many members of the city
councils, and a large concourse of the dozen*.
Arrived at the public square he was conduct
ed to the cathedral, where an oration was
delivered, after which lie reviewed the troop
in the square, the cannodiers meanwhile fi.mg
a salute. This pad of the ceremonies over
he was escorted to his rooms at the St. Louis
Exchange by the military, afier which they
were dismissed - *
New Orleans lias woo some fume for the
brilliance of her military displays, hut the pa
rade ol yeserday excelled any thing of the
kind vve have ever achieved. All feelings of
rivalry were forgotton, and the Legion and
Washington Baßullion turned out in concert.
W e never saw them look to more advantage
than they did on this occasion, and the lighl
of other days could he seen brightening in
ihe old soldier’s eyes as he contemplated (he
fine martial display before him. He who
hud It-d raw ami undisciplined Tennesseeans
and Louisianians to battle and to victory,
from the same spot, now beheld a well-drilled
and disciplined array of troops, and his pleas
ed countenance fully indicated his satisfac
tion.
In the evening, agreeable lo the invitation
of the management, the General and his suite
attenned the St. Charles. Al the close of the
act of die omed v then performing, the cur
tain was dropped, and fire anthem played
according to announcement. The curtain
then rose, and M. J. iVI. Field delivered a
poetical address from his own pen to the De
fender ol New Orleans, the aged veteran who
came
“To Lies? tiife children of the sir he saved.’’
The house was crammed from the pit to
i the dome, and lhe Genera! twice arose to ac
knowledge the enthusiastic, cheering of the
multitude. Hail Columbia was then sun if
hv the full company of the St. Charles, and
the white-headed watrior left the theatre ti
mid the prolonged cheers of an admiring au
dience of some two thousand souls. Thus
end* our brief and hasty written record of a
day that will he remembered while New’Or
leans stands, and the Mississippi flows.
From the N. O. Picayuuv, Jan. 8.
‘1 HE BAT I’LE OF NE W ORLEANS.
I wenty-five years only have rolled a wav
since New Orleans was the scene of an event
which shall sparkle upon the page of history
in all future time. The story of the Battle of
New Orleans is one of tho>e which, to all
Americans, mut present the mingled interest
of the romantic, the ctnvalric, the terrible an i
the brave. Men fighting for their homes
against an insolent foe whose watchword
threatened a suffering worse than- fire or
slaughter—an infliction as disgraceful to the
victor as to the vanquished. Tli3t watch
word, “ Beauty and Booty” was at once the
onset cry and the death knell of the invader,
for the Americans heard it in the shrieks of
their wives and daughters; it thrilled through
every vein and til) e of their frames, and
“ ten times trebled the natnial energy of each
single nerve” to sweep the enemy down to
the dost before them.
If the history of that day is a page of glory i
lor tiie Union, golden letteis should record it ,
in the annals of Louisiana. Men are now !
among us who braved death and danger up- j
ori the battleground ofNew Orleans in 1315; j
men who grasped tie instruments of death to
gnaui their firesides fiom toe footsteps hi
their nation's Ibe; and who now remember
! the terrific roar of fire arms, ihe streams of
j gushing blood, and the shrieKs of dying ago
ny. We envy ihose old patriots the delight
they must feel to and >y, and we doubt whelhei
ti e veteran Jackson, when the nation be- i
| slowed upon lum the highest honor in its gilt,
I k; ew a prouder feeling than he must ex pen i
j ence on this Eighth of January, 1340. We I
clip the following auecnote from an exchange
pager. Perhaps there are those among the
survivors of tliat day who may read it, and
remember the incidents related:
Anecdote of the Billie of JVeio Orleans. — ‘
A daring Tennesseean, with a blanket tied I
around .him, and a hat with a brim of enor j
mmts breadth, who seemed to he fighting “on I
his own hook,” disdaining to raise his rifle I
over the hank of earth and fire, in safety of
his person, like his more wary fellow soldiers, j
chose to spring, every time he fired, upon the \
breast, work, where, balancing himself, he j
j would bring Iris ■ isle to his cheek, throw hn.-.k j
j his broad brim, take sight and fire, while the
enemv were advancing to the'’attack, ns do- .
liberately a though shooting at a herd of
deer, then leap ng down on the either si !e, he
would reload, mount, the works cock Ids he t j
Iver. take aim and crack again. “ This he t
die!,' 5 said an Eugih officer, who was taken
prisoner, and who laughingly tela it'd ! is n
good anecdote to Cap!. D . my inform- 1
j ant above alluded to—“ five times in r-’-pidi
! succession, as I advanced at the lira !ofno i
I company. Though the grape whistled thro’
] the air over our heads’, lor the life of me I
I could not help smiling at his grotesqup demi
j savage, detni-quaker figure, as lie threw back
j the broad flip of bis castor to obtain a fair
i sight—deliberately raised bis rfl-—shut hi®
j ’eft eve. and blazed away at s. I verilv be-
I iieve be brought down one of my m c n at ev

As the British resolutely advanced, though
co'tttnns feH iike the tali'grain before the sickle,
at the fire of h(? Americans, the same officer
i e; ii h~r.£ fh* bravs g** 13
dters, amid the rolling fire of musketry from
the lines ol” his unseen Ibes, undaunted and
untouched. Advance my men,” he shouted
as he reached the edge of the fossee —“ fol
low me 1” and sword in hand lie leaped a
ditch, and turning amiifct the roar and flame
o! a hundred muskets to encourage his men,
beheld to his surprise, not a single rrtan of his
company upon ins feet—more than fifty brave
fellows, whom lie had so ga..anliy led on to
the attack, Ind been shot and wu. As he Was
about to leap Hack from Fs an gurous situa
tion. his sword was shivered in his grasp, by
a nfi- ball, and at the same instant a dating
Tennesseean sprung upon lite parapet and
lev. fed his deadly weapon at his breast, calm
ly observing, “Surrender, stranger—or, I
may perforate ye !” “ Chagrined, ,T said the
officer, at the close of his recital. “ I was
compelled to deliver to the bold fellow mv
mutilated sword, and pass over into the Amer
ican lines.” —The Soutlnvest, by a Yankee.
AUCTION CUSTOMS.
The January number of Hunt’s Mer
chants’Magazine contains an ai tide on the
Law of Auctions, from the pen of Francis
13nniey, Esquire, a talented young lawyer of
the city. Besides presenting an analysis of
the two important statutes of New York isp
on the subiec! ol auctions, the writer gives
some ske'ches relative to their early institu
tion, t ,e nature and the mannner of conduc
ting tin in. We gleam (torn 1 Lis article the
following interesting measure i
Sales by auction are of early institution.
I he must remarkable instance of such a sal*,
was the ofJer the Roman soldiery, after the
death of Perimax, la dispose of the Roman
world at public auction. Historians agree
■ hat the sa e was by auction, (hough they do
not rot-cur in the opinion th-it it was propo
sed by toe soldiers. Gffihon states that Hie
purchase was made by Julian, A. D 193, (or
upward ol two hundred pounds stering to
each soldier.
When a sale took place in Rome, a spear
was fixed in ttie forum, by which stood a
crier who proclaimed the artic es which were
intended to be sold. A catalogue was made
in tables, called aucitonaritß. ‘The seller Was
called a tie tor ; and the bidders sectores, who
signified their biddings by lifilng op their fin
gers, and the highest bidder became the
purchaser; the right of property conveyed
to tlie purchaser was called auctoritas. The
custom of silting up a spear at auction was
derived from the circumstance, that at first
only these things which are taken iu war
were sold in this manner. Hence liasla (a
spear) is pm liira public sale ; and ub has
turn venire, lo come under the spear, (or as
we should say, come under the hammer) de
notes lo he publicly aold. This was termed
audio, increase, because ihe goods were
sold to him yui plurimum rem augeret. It
was necessary to have permission from the
magistrate for a sale.
At a later period the purchase of goods
cried and sold, was proclaimed hy the sound
ol a trumpet. The use of the spear was con
tinued ; whence auctions were called suhhas
tations, and the auctioneer denominated sub
hastator.
The practice in Holland is this: an es
tate is put up at high price, and nobo
d.v accepts the olf c r, a lower is named,
and so the sum first required is gradually
reduced, till some person closes with the
offer. Thus, ot necessity, there is only one !
bidding. ‘This kind of sale, by bidding
downward, is called a Dutch auction.
‘There is a kind of sale practiced in Eng
land, which is called selling by inch of can
dle, which is thus conducted. Notice is usu
ally irivelt upon the exchange in writing, and
elsewhere, when the sale is lo begin, against
which time Ihe goods are divided into sever
al parcels, called lots, and papers primed of
the quantity of each and of the conditions of
sale, a* that none shall hid less than a certain
sum more than another hail before. During
the time of bidding a small piece, about an
inch, ol wax candle is burning; and ihe last
hid.ler, when the candle goes out, hits the
lot or parcel exposed to sale.
fn s,, rne cases a price is put by the own
er ol the property to be soil, under a can
dlestick, and is agreed lhal no bidding shall
avail if not equal to that; this is called dumb
bidding.
In Hie north of England, sales’ where the
several bidders do not know what the others
have offered, are denominated candlestick
biddings.
Avery singular kind of sale is mentioned
in I Dow. Ilf. Tne auctioneer was a fe
male, who never spoke during the wltoie time
of the sale, (one is tempted to doubt the ac
ouracy of the reporters as to that matter,)
but immediately n'ter any person bid, gave
him a glass of brandy, and after Hte sale
broke up, he that received the last glass of
brandy, was in a private room, declared the
purchaser. No “ fifteen gallon lau” existed
at that time!
From the Au-uaia Cniumcle.
i In our paper of Tuesday, we expressed
| the opinion of the present distress among the
i people for money, was aggravated bv the
course pursued by our banks. The circula
ti.‘iiot these institutions is now less than il has
been fur twenty years, and of course the a
niiiunt ot money in the bands nl the people is
less. Cmiid tiie banks, by union among thetn
seb'es and concert of action, ameliorate the j
prevailing distress, without endangering the j
i currency? We unhesitatingly believe they j
j could; arid donut express the opinion shat ]
i it is more from a want of will than abiity I
that they do not do it. With a lew excep
tions, tiie banks are nowin a state of sus
pension, and people and > not expect of them to
\ redeem their issues in specie. That they
| are deemed solvent, by the community, is
; evidenced the fact that their bills circulate
j freely, and are taken in payment for debts of
j every description. Thai they possess the
i power of administering relief, is evidenced j
| by the fact that, that while they refns to dis- i
i count any description of merca tile paper, !
| they will, at. any time, discount bills of ex- j
! change upon Cuarleston or Savannah, whe- j
j 1 her 1 fie drawer has funds against whr.h to I

ships cotton to Cua'leston to meet his bill,
then the bank will sell the exchange crested

this!
We charge that ottr banks are in the hsb
if of doing this description of paper, thereby
making usurious profits, and do it with the
full knowledge that the party drawing the
hill has no funds in Charleston. And yet
they rigorously refuse to discount any sort of
mercantile paper which only yields an inter*
eat of 7 per cent per annum. Now if they
have the ability to do this grinding business,
they have an equal ability to do au honest bu
siness for the accommodation and benefit of
thp public. But by refusing to do a regular
business and comjielling their debtors to pay
up. they aggravate the pressure of the lime*
ami thereby constrain a resort nrt the pari of
those in ‘istress-, io the iisnrinti* svstetn of

as this that while the people tire impoverish

MESSRS. CALHOUN AND CLAT.
We publish, to day, the report of the G/ote,
of the late altercation between these geutie
iTten, in the Senate. They who read the re-”
port of the National Intelligencer, which first
appeared, cannot judge correctly of the mat*
ter, without reading this also, which, as lira
most superficial observer cannot'but perceive,
carries the stamp of truth, fairness, and im
partiality, on its face. \Vh Mr. Clay said,
appears almost word for word the same, in
this, as in the other; while the remark* of
Mr. Calhouu, in reply, appear more natural
and probable—more accordant with his usual
.style—more self possessed, explanatory, ar
gumentative, and dignified, and therefore far
more triumphant. If we recollect rightly, the
evidence given, that the Committee on Pub
lic Lands was the proper one, lor the very
reason urged against it by Mr. Clay, was not
at all reported in the Intelligencer !—nor th*
voluntary and magnanimous tribute to lit*
real merits of Mr. Clay, in reference to th*
Compromise b ll—so indicative of a noble,
generous, and manly self-p issessiott, conscious
superiority and rectitude, and a spirit of jus
tice and fiorness, which not even immediate
wanton, and unprovoked assault could sub
due—in the closing part of Mr. Calhoun’*-
second remarks? Why were these point*
omitted in the Intelligencer's report; anti
much more, which we have not time or room
to refer to now? It can scarcely, however,
escape the notice of the reader of both; and
we hope he will mark it, as he proceeds, aml
if possible compare the two togt-tl er, that he
may see what justice is to be expected lor
Mr. Calhoun, from the National Intelligencer /
I hat the rpport of the. Globe is impartial and
just, is evident from the great similarity of
Mr. Clay’s remarks in both. Even the In
tellig:ucer's report could n and so torture the
matter as to give the superiority to Mr.
Clay : even there, the petty sinister purpose,
covert, envious, disapp tinted malice, wanton,
unprovoked, impeltinent assault, and reck*
less, impudent arrogance, noon sunk inb*
shuffling, evasiVe insignificance, which sought
to shelter itself under palpable misrepresent
ation—a paltry effort, self-conscious of wrong,
to tfhilt off from his own oVerbunhened shoul
ders, the responsibility of the unprovoked
aggression—a most barefacedly unwarranta
ble attempt to throw it on those of his injured
antogonist Yet the reader could not but
feel in the remarks of Mr. Calhoun, that some
thing was wanting, of cause for this—of hi*
accustomed dignity and sell-possession—and
ol justice to himself and his position—pre
cisely what is supplied by himself, in the re
port before us, which places him in a most
commanding and t iumphant attitude, before
his shuffling and'evasive assailant—such an
attitude as might well have been expected,
after his previous signal and splendid triumph
over Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster combined,
and which should have sufficiently cautioned
the former, against the rash assault in ques
tion.
We have written Mr. Ciav’s conduct

whom ottr people have every cause to fcrfid,
ass they do, in the must gr'alei'ul and alFection
